Chapter 236: The Battle Begins

Just as the attack began at the foot of the mountain, what the old man was worried about finally happened. The 4,000 soldiers of the forbidden army came to suppress the bandits, which really put a lot of pressure on them.

To the north, on the side facing the Yellow River, a thousand soldiers of the forbidden army launched a substantial attack according to Zhou Xiaocao's orders. The sound of shouting, footsteps, and scolding mingled together, and some echoes were comparable to the chaos of a vegetable market. It's just that unlike the wet market, it's a desperate place. The vegetable market is desperately bargaining, but here it is really desperate, you live and die.

The five owners of the village, the eldest and the second, the third and the fourth each guard one side, and the eldest responds from it. I have to say that their tactical arrangement is still very correct. It's just that they only have a total of 1,000 people on the mountain, and in the face of the forbidden army on all sides, if they gather troops in one place, the other three sides are likely to be lost in an instant; If you disperse, the pressure on each side will increase dramatically. Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, it was at an absolute disadvantage for Bishan.

To the north, the place where the boss guards. The boss's face was reflected in the torch, and there was an indescribable hideous feeling. Looking at the forbidden army under the mountain, the boss issued an order: "Archer, shoot with all your might!" ”

Fifty archers on each side, stooping behind the rammed buttresses of stone and loess, shot lifelessly. It's just that fifty archers are too few, and the soldiers of the forbidden army only need to raise their shields, and the terrain in the mountains is complicated, so the lethality is very limited. However, as long as the archers did not run out of arrows, they would exert permanent pressure on the forbidden army below the mountain, and for a while, the forbidden army would not dare to directly attack the fortifications.

However. The old man's eyes were not fixed in the direction guarded by the boss in the north, he was looking in the other three directions. Yes. The Forbidden Army was divided into four sides to attack the mountain, and now only the north began to attack. It's kind of weird. He knew very well that as soon as he gathered his forces to the north, the other three sides would immediately attack. But if he didn't concentrate his forces, the pressure on the two hundred men in the north would be very great. Facing five times the strength of his own, even on the defending side, the pressure is quite high.

Another shout of killing sounded, and the old man's pupils contracted suddenly, and he knew what he was worried about. It still happened. This time, it was the Janissaries from the south who began to attack, while the Janissaries from the north slowed down the pace of the attack.

The second child in the west ran over and said to the old man: "Old man, the south is starting to attack, otherwise, let's all go to the south and support the third child!" ”

The old man shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is exactly the strategy of the forbidden army under the mountain." Once you've left the west side. Go to the south to support the third brother, then, to the west, you will immediately attack. When the time comes. We're just going to get tired of coping. ”

Among the five people, the second and third have the deepest relationship. Now seeing the third child being attacked, I really feel the same way. Loudly said, "Don't we have a way to deal with it?" Is it like being played like a monkey like this? ”

The old man shook his head and sighed: "There is really no good way. This is called Yangmou. You know their hole cards. In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are nonsense. Now, we can only hope for the Lord. ”

The third said hatefully: "No matter what you say, anyway, I can't stand it, I'm going to help the third child!" ”

The old man's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said, "Okay, let's try it, how clever their flowering plan is." ”

"Okay!"

The second child was overjoyed and waved his hand behind him: "Brothers, follow me to the third child to support!" What a fucking bullshit forbidden army! ”

There were more than 200 people behind him, and the pressure on the south was suddenly reduced a lot. The forbidden army attacking the mountain in the south suddenly found that the arrows on the mountain were much denser, so they knew that there were other ways to come to support.

To the south, it was led by the general who suspected that Piaohong was a spy before the attack began. His name is Wang Rui, and he has fought several tough battles with those Che Qiguo Rong people in the northern Xinjiang of China, and it can be said that he rose step by step from a small soldier and relying on military merits. He is not only in ability, but also in prestige, and he is also very high in the forbidden army. The army is such a place where they admire only the really capable. You may be able to sit in a high position by relying on your connections, but the soldiers below are not very convinced.

As soon as he saw the sudden increase in pressure on his side, a sneer flashed in Wang Rui's eyes, waved his hand, and said, "Slow down the attack, the torch signals, please start the official attack in the east!" ”

On the mountain, the second and third soldiers were in one place, and it was the time when they had a good time, when suddenly the attack under the mountain was stagnant. The two glanced at each other, and were about to discuss what to do next, when suddenly, the east was in an emergency, and a thousand soldiers of the forbidden army began a surprise attack. The bandits in the east, who had been waiting for a long time, saw that the forbidden army had finally begun to attack, and the fourth brother who was guarding here couldn't tell whether it was because of nervousness or excitement, and his hands began to tremble. Looking at the forbidden army attacking with a shield at the foot of the mountain, he waved his big hand: "Archer, press the formation!" ”

On the mountainside, Zhou Xiaocao looked at the tired bandits on the mountain, and said triumphantly: "Lao Tzu is tired, and he has to exhaust them!" Let you be arrogant, let you brag! ”

Piaohong said in a cold voice: "There will be some intrigues!" ”

Zhou Xiaocao said with a smile: "Regardless of his conspiracy, as long as it works, it is a good strategy!" As I said, these forbidden troops are to prepare for defending their homes and countries in the future, not to let them consume in internal friction such as fighting bandits. No matter what strategy I use, it is my intention to minimize casualties. ”

Xiangzhujun covered his mouth and smiled: "The master really loves soldiers like a son." ”

Zhou Xiaocao touched the hair on his forehead, tilted his face, and said with a smile: "That's!" General Ben is people-oriented, and he loves every sergeant he brings out, just like an old godmother! ”

Piaohong said with a cold face: "Old godmother, you are still an old godfather!" ”

Zhou Xiaocao smiled: "The same, the same!" Anyway, it's all made of chili sauce. By the way, rice and white rice mixed with chili sauce, this pure dark dish, who has tried it? ”

The five women couldn't understand the terms he said. After finishing speaking, he didn't get the corresponding effect, Zhou Xiaocao touched the back of his head and laughed dryly.

"Goo-goo-goo"

Xianglanjun suddenly pointed to the side and said, "Huh? How can there be a pigeon here? Don't the pigeons sleep at night? ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "Catch it, roast it and eat it!" ”

"Brutal! Shameless! ”

Piaohong counted Zhou Xiaocao's words, and turned into a bush.

Zhou Xiaocao asked, "Why are you going?" ”

Piaohong said in a cold voice: "I'll go and make it easier, do you want to follow?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "That's good, I'm just afraid that you won't agree." ”

Piaohong said as she walked: "Shameless and obscene! ”

Seeing that Piaohong entered the bushes, Xiangzhujun asked, "Do you want to follow and take a look?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao said: "No need, she is a woman, what tricks can she play." Besides, I don't think she has anything to do with the bandits in the mountains. And maybe, she is a disciple of a certain sect and has gone out to practice. ”

Floating Hong, who was hiding in the bushes, actually didn't go far, she heard Zhou Xiaocao's words. A sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she beckoned, and the pigeon, which had been snow-white, landed on her hand. The pigeon had a small bamboo tube tied to its right foot, pulled out the stopper, pulled out a piece of paper inside, looked at it, pinched it, and threw it on the ground. Then, Piao Hong took out a small piece of charcoal, pulled out a piece of paper from his bosom, and after writing something on it, rolled the paper into a roll, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, covered it with a stopper, and released the pigeon.

Looking at the battlefield on the top of the mountain lit with countless torches, Piaohong secretly prayed: "I should be able to hold on for a while." Perhaps, I was simply wrong to do so? ”

Squatting on the ground, listening to the shouts of killing that filled his ears, Piaohong felt a sense of unreality. He shook his head, combed his somewhat messy hair, and slowly walked out of the bushes. (To be continued......)
