Chapter 51 - Encirclement and Reinforcement (II)

With the encirclement and suppression of the elite 15,000 Fengzhan Santang army under Xu Zhan, General Jiang also clearly saw the unspeakable future they were about to face, not to mention that there was still a huge disadvantage in military strength now, and the number of their rebel army was not large, and they could only make up enough 8,000 to survive. After all, ordinary people still like to live and work in peace and contentment, and they don't like to participate in these so-called uprisings and revive the righteousness of the rivers and mountains. For the simple and kind people, as long as they can keep their family's one-third of an acre of land and a fishing boat that can go to sea, this is enough. With 8,000 against 15,000, there is no advantage at all in terms of combat effectiveness or quantity. If they really encounter Xu Zhan's encirclement and suppression, they will definitely be defeated!

The insurgent army's belief in supporting the Chiang general seemed to have collapsed in an instant. He sat down on his Taishi chair in a dejected manner, his eyes looked a little dull, he was absolutely unwilling to fail like this, but now that the military order is given, Xu Zhan can immediately carry out encirclement and suppression. Even if he went to stop it now, would it still be too late?

General Chiang's smile was completely fixed on his face, and he slowly stood up, a look of despair on his face. At this moment, the guard who had come in to deliver the message stepped forward and whispered, "The general doesn't have to worry, I think there is still a chance now." It's just a matter of seeing if we can get it."

"Tell me, do you already have any plans?" General Chiang couldn't hide his ecstasy on his face, if he could keep his army, he would rather pay the price in exchange, and he was not willing to give this army to others and let others slaughter it. The opportunity that the guard said made him see the current situation more clearly, as long as he could keep this rebel army, he had to listen carefully to whatever the plan was.

The guard in front of him didn't look very wild and rude, he looked similar to the guard who grew up with General Jiang, but his thinking was not as fast as that guard, so he was often robbed of the limelight by that guard. However, both of them are the kind of people who look dignified from the outside, but in fact they are strong in martial arts, have outstanding abilities, and have some brains. The two of them and the other two guards were two very different styles, and the other two guards just had no martial arts, and they didn't have any brains to turn around. The guard bowed down again, leaned into General Jiang's ear and whispered, "General, don't you know that there are sharp contradictions within the Sealing War Society? If Xu Zhan single-handedly annihilates us, or continues to attack the Ling Feng Army, it will be his own credit. Do you think Zheng Kang will watch Xu Zhan ride on his head and enjoy this credit alone?"

General Chiang Huo De stood up, and a cold smile slowly appeared on his face. "So, I have to let someone inform Zheng Kang inadvertently, do you need to do this?"

The guard's eyes and lips inadvertently showed a deep smile. "No, General, I've already arranged it. I believe that later, at the west gate of this city, there will be a very beautiful picture"

General Jiang patted the guard on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you kid to have a lot of knowledge, and Lao Jiang can't compare to you in this matter." Why, do you need me to go to Ximen in person?" "Lao Jiang is the personal guard who grew up with General Jiang, and in terms of personal relationship, among the four guards, Jiang Bohuan and Jiang Lingyue have the best relationship.

When the guard heard Jiang Lingyue say this, he knew that this time he had gained his trust. So, he bowed down and saluted again, and said with a smile, "If the general thinks he should go, then go and watch the show."

"Hahahahaha All he could think of now was to go to Simon to find out what kind of intense show it was.

At the west gate of the city, 8,000 rebels have gathered today. These 8,000 rebel troops are also the last backbone of the city that is still opposing the feudal state. This army is under the leadership and dispatch of Jiang Lingyue, and today is the day when they are about to join forces with the Lingfeng army, which has arrived outside the city for half a day, to jointly counterattack the Qi State.

At this moment, although these 8,000 rebels have already arrived at the city wall and the city gate of the west gate of the city, they are about to reap success. But now, the heart of every rebel is heavy, and there is even a deep and subtle fear. For just now, a sentry had returned to them, carrying a message that had caught them off guard. The elite army of the three halls of the Feng Zhan Society, under the leadership of their deputy hall master Xu Zhan, had secretly dispatched troops from the vicinity of the Governor's Mansion in the east of the city, and the 15,000 elite troops of the three halls of the Feng Zhan Hui had already secretly dispatched among them. Obviously, there are only two possibilities for Xu Xian to mobilize the troops of the three halls of the Feng Zhan Hui here, either to fight against the Feng Zhan Hui, but this possibility is not very big for everyone to understand. With such blatant infighting, the Holy Emperor would never forgive them a second time. And whether it was Xu Zhan or Zheng Kang, they didn't dare to come out in front of the Holy Emperor. The unprecedented oppression generated by this kind of domineering ability close to the gods is difficult for ordinary people to withstand, even if it is a soul cultivator. If you don't have a strong weapon soul ability above the eighth type, you can't withstand such a large oppressive force at all. Then, if it weren't for the civil strife that Xu Zhan wanted to transfer troops, then there would only be one possibility left. Xu Zhan must have known some news and came to deal with such a rebel army as them.

The haze of the failure of the first uprising some time ago had not yet dissipated, and this sudden battle suddenly made them feel an unprecedented pressure. The combat effectiveness of this fifteen-thousand-sealed army is far stronger than his. The two sides were not even at the same level at all, and if they encountered such an army now, it would be a devastating blow for them.

Some of these 8,000 troops came from within the city, and some of them were young and strong people who moved back to the city. And in these 8,000 troops, the only ones who really hold power are the thirteen dart masters who follow Jiang Lingyue. Among the thirteen dart masters, the four dart masters closest to Jiang Lingyue were respected. These four guards were not only Jiang Lingyue's henchmen, but also the leaders who mainly commanded the 8,000 army.

And now, the four guards are not in this army, causing the eight thousand troops to face the enemy's imminent vigorous purge, the fifteen thousand elite Fengzhan Hui Santang army has arrived at the west gate of the city almost in an instant, and the fifteen thousand troops under the leadership of Xu Zhan have now gathered not far from the west of the city, and they are all elite troops, fully armed with black armor, and except for the leading general, the other soldiers are all walking and hiding in the dark night and are not easy to be discovered by others, just the right time can play a surprise attack on the rebel army。

But they didn't know that someone had already spread the news of their raid on the city to the west gate of the city where the 8,000 rebels had gathered, causing the 8,000 rebels to already know Xu Zhan's plot. However, although they had learned about it in advance, they didn't have much to do about it right now. They can only be dispersed for the time being, and for the time being, they will not be wiped out all at once.

At this moment, the 15,000 elite troops of the three halls of the Sealed War Society had gathered at the gate of the west gate of the Hui City. The army was led by a general who was also clad in black armor like a Night Elf. In this army of the three halls of the Sealed War Society, only this general rode a war horse under his crotch, and it was obvious that this general was none other than Xu Zhan, the deputy hall master of the Third Hall of the Sealed War Society, and the person who had previously proposed the idea of encircling the point to send reinforcements was also him.

Xu Zhan really wanted to take advantage of this rare and valuable opportunity, and the contradiction between them in the first and third halls was not a day or two. Zheng Kang has now gained the upper hand in the fight between the two of them. Xu Zhan had no choice but to choose to take risks so resolutely. And his real target was not the 8,000 rabble inside the city, but the 30,000 troops outside the city that were twice as numerous as their enemy Ling Feng Army. Xu Zhan learned some inside information about the Ling Feng Army through the intelligence officers, and knew that although the strength of this Ling Feng Army was not strong, it was well commanded and properly dispatched, and they were an external scourge. It is more serious than civil strife, and in the face of external troubles, we should temporarily abandon internal strife and join hands with the outside world. Xu Zhan is much clearer than Zheng Kang on this point.

However, Xu Zhan couldn't help but forget one of the most critical things, he thought that he had made a huge sacrifice, just leading the men and horses of his headquarters to pacify the foreign Ling Feng army, which was a great concession. But Zheng Kang may not think so, Zheng Kang has always been a very grudgeful person, he may even think that Xu Zhan is insulting him, and he has robbed him of his credit not to mention fighting Ling Fengjun alone. Because, after all, when the Holy Emperor arranged the guards of the city, he still let Zheng Kang be the main general and Xu Zhan as the deputy general. Xu Zhan sent troops so rashly without the consent of the commander-in-chief, would Zheng Kang just turn a blind eye? Will Zheng Kang watch himself take all the credit?

Now Xu Zhan obviously didn't think of the fatal joint in this, and he thought that he had made a big concession in this way. So, Xu Zhan didn't think about Zheng Kang anymore, and when he thought of Zheng Kang, Xu Zhan's heart was furious. So, when he was approaching the West Gate, Xu Zhan put away his whip and stopped his horse, called the two cronies beside him, and whispered a few words to them. Now that the night is already late, Xu Zhan doesn't want to affect the entire Huicheng because of such a battle, and even affect the normal development of the Huicheng in the future, which is a very big loss for them. As a last resort, Xu Zhan was reluctant to take such an action.
