Chapter 84: Siege and Vicious Battle (Second Update)
Looking at the quiet and somewhat abnormal Fengxian County Town Tower in front of him, Ye Zheng somehow felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.
Everything on the castle tower is very unreasonable!
Uncanny!
The atmosphere at this time is really weird!
Even if Fengxian is an insignificant small county town, there is no reason why the officers and men guarding the city should not go to the city to keep vigil? Even if they send a few veteran soldiers to hide on the top of the city tower to drink, gamble, and sleep, and pretend to be good.
However, on the upper floor of Fengxian County in front of him, he didn't do this!
What is the situation here? Why is Feng County's reaction so abnormal? Ye Zheng was secretly puzzled in his heart.
At this time, everyone is running at high speed, and the distance from Fengxian County is less than 100 steps, and everyone has already had enough strength at this moment, holding weapons and swords, ready to fight at any time!
Rushing to the front of the team, is a group of agile brothers, they are all simple and light, holding a hook to climb the city wall and the city tower in their hands, wait a while, as long as everyone quietly approaches the city tower, they will be Liu Chengfeng and other masters under the cover, directly climb the city tower, and then turn into the city gate, open the city gate, so that their brothers can enter.
However, at this moment, a burst of green smoke slowly drifted in the direction of Ye Zheng and the others with the breeze silently.
At this time, Ye Zheng sniffed, and suddenly felt that a strange smell of smoke had penetrated into his nostrils, and he immediately felt that something was wrong, and immediately waved his hands, and suddenly ordered in a deep voice: "Tell me to go down, everyone will stop moving forward for me, I suddenly feel that something is wrong!"
As soon as these words came out, someone immediately passed on his order, and suddenly, thousands of people stopped in unison, and stayed in place in confusion waiting for the order of the alliance leader.
At this time, Ye Zheng immediately summoned a group of cottage leaders to his side, and commanded in a low voice: "You immediately divide into four teams, scatter for me, and see if there is anything strange in the field outside this city gate, and why this smoke smells so weird, send someone to find out to me, where is the source of the smoke?"
When the princes heard this, they were commanded to go down and investigate.
At this time, Liu Chengfeng, who was standing behind Ye Zheng, heard that he had smelled a strange smell of smoke, and he also sniffed a few deeply at the moment, and suddenly, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, as if he had noticed something abnormal.
Liu Chengfeng pondered for a moment, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he exclaimed in a lost voice: "It's not good, this is the smell of smoke and wolf smoke! We are afraid that we have been ambushed by the officers and soldiers!"
He looked up and saw Ye Zheng looking at him with a questioning face, and his heart suddenly woke up, and he explained anxiously at the moment: " Alliance leader, you don't know, this strange smoke, in fact, is the imperial court sent by the Taoist priest to refine the poison, called scattered wolf smoke, this thing tastes weird after ignition, after ordinary people inhale it, it is not a big deal, but if these people who practice martial arts and practice Gang like me inhale it, the protective body qi of their own cultivation will disappear and disperse quickly, and it will not be able to recover slowly until after twelve hours。 The main intention of the imperial court to equip the army with this thing is to deal with those samurai and martial artists who have cultivated the Gang Qi, as long as they are hit by this scattered wolf smoke, then the strength of our samurai and martial artists will be greatly reduced, and we can only fight with others with our own strength. Alliance leader, you are a saint, and your cultivation is to reach the heavens, and these inferior things will definitely not be difficult for you, but our situation is not good. ”
When Ye Zheng heard this, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and inform the leader of the five teams I just sent out, let them come back quickly, we may have fallen for the tricks and ambush ...... the officers and soldiers."
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, in several wild mountains and forests outside the county seat, a large number of well-equipped and brave officers and soldiers poured out.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill......"
Suddenly, the 3,000 bandit troops who stayed outside the county town changed color in unison when they saw this change, and they all clenched their weapons in a panic, preparing to fight a vicious battle with the officers and soldiers who were ambushing and sneaking attack.
At this time, the five teams of cottage leaders and masters who had just been sent out by Ye Zheng to investigate were called back by Ye Zheng in time.
The leader of a small cottage came to Ye Zheng with a panicked face, and said in an anxious tone: "Alliance leader, we have been ambushed by officers and soldiers, how can we do it now?"
Ye Zheng was also extremely nervous at the moment, and at the moment he held back his uneasy emotions, and asked calmly: "Don't panic, don't panic, you just rushed to the front and should see the situation in front clearly, now let me ask you, how many officers and soldiers are in ambush? What are their equipment and weapons? And what kind of troops?"
When the man heard his question, he thought about it slightly, and then quickly replied: " The lord of the alliance, in addition to the direction of the city tower in front of him, the other three directions outside the city, are ambushed by the ambush of the government, about 200 people in each direction, just retreated, I also carefully observed, those ambushes are all wearing flying leopard light armor, all of them are above the first level of samurai, and when I saw them rush out, the pace is unified and powerful, and in the process of running, they can still maintain their own formation and formation scattered but not chaotic, so, my subordinates are sure that these three ambushes are definitely the regular army of the state city that has undergone strict trainingThe situation tonight is not good for us!"
Ye Zheng really didn't expect that this person's insight would be so meticulous in such a critical situation, and he couldn't help but light up his eyes at the moment, and secretly remembered the appearance and characteristics of this small cottage leader in his heart. At the same time, he deliberately pretended to be full of confidence and domineering, and sneered: "It's only 600 officers and soldiers, and you want to ambush our 3,000 bandit coalition army, it's just a dream, give me an order, order all the horses, all go all out to meet it, and give me those officers and soldiers who are in ambush, and what the fuck is the regular army of the state city, hum! Lao Tzu beat them tonight so that they don't even know their parents!"
As soon as the order was given, many of the mountain bandits' men who looked nervous hurriedly received the order to arrange for the battle.
On the field outside Fengxian County, the well-equipped regular army, from three different directions, east, west, and north, lined up in a neat formation, quickly killed the 3,000 bandit coalition troops who stayed outside the city gate.
I saw the six hundred regular troops in ambush, and when they came to a distance of less than 100 steps away from Ye Zheng's bandit army, they suddenly split from the original three formations into six phalanxes. Each phalanx consisted of a hundred soldiers, and the phalanx was divided into four columns, each with twenty-five soldiers. The row of soldiers at the front of the phalanx was twenty-five shieldmen, each of whom held a half-man's shield in his left hand and a steel sword in his right hand, and the second row of soldiers who followed behind was twenty-five spearmen, each holding an eight-foot-long sharp spear in his hand, and the third and fourth rows were all spearmen. The one hundred regular troops that formed the phalanx, the spacing of each platoon, no more, no less, exactly three steps, and all of them marched in a uniform and disorderly manner!
Although the 100-person phalanx of officers and soldiers had not yet fought with the 3,000 bandits, the bravery exuded from them, as well as the battle-hardened iron and blood, directly pressed the 3,000 bandit army under Ye Zheng's command.
Before the two armies fought, the bandit coalition had already begun to panic, and the entire team of 3,000 people actually had a sense of fear for the 600 ruthless regular army.
