Chapter 177: Encirclement

"Alright, you and I have nothing to complain about. Overlord patted the adjutant on the shoulder, "There may be our own considerations, we just need to make sure we can win at any time." If this army leaving the city can be defeated in one fell swoop, it will be able to keep the border safe for at least a year. ”

"But the people of Gao Guo will also know that we have a way to climb over the slope ditch. Yin Guerrilla sighed.

The so-called strange tricks are nothing more than strange tricks and strange instruments. The two armies have been going back and forth in this place for several years, and all kinds of tactics have been used, and it is difficult to win by surprise. Therefore, it is more strange things that can help the army take the lead, such as the "hanging rope" they use at this moment.

This kind of rope is a new ordnance developed by the Ministry of Industry, and the main material is no longer hemp rope, but a thin copper wire. God knows how those men made the copper like spider silk. These threads are intertwined with each other, giving it the softness of hemp rope and the toughness of gold and iron, and can build a hanging bridge on both sides of the rock wall, and with special hooks, it can quickly cross the moat with heavily armed soldiers.

And the battle plan for their trip was also based on this strange weapon.

In front, General Zuo led a large force of 9,000 people to contain the enemy's main force head-on, and the elite of the Heavenly Leader bypassed the slope ditch, launched a flanking attack from the flank and rear, and pierced the ribs of the Gao army like a sharp knife. In any case, the opponent would not have expected why there would be a surprise army in his rear, and then he would think of whether Futian Fort was lost, and the army would definitely be in turmoil.

However, as the adjutant said, after the enemy suffered this loss, he would naturally learn a lesson, so the strange weapon should be used in the action with the greatest benefits.

"It's good to be able to keep peace for a year," Ba Xingtian said with a disapproving smile, "Who knows what will happen in a year, maybe the Ministry of Industry will come up with something new at that time." ”

"Do you know the inside scoop?" said Yin Guerrilla with a curious look.

"Almost, I heard it's called a trap beast, and it's just right for this rugged mountain valley road. As he said this, he unconsciously looked to the east.

"My lord, Gyeonggi is in the north. ”

He slapped him on the back of the head, "Who told you that I was looking at the Ministry of Works?"

"Then you must be missing your family? No...... You don't have any family. Yin Guerrilla pondered for a moment, and then pretended to say suddenly, "Oh, the last general understands, you are thinking about that disciple of yours." ”

"Hmph, if you don't guess, shut up. Although he said this, a smile appeared on his face.

"Hey, if Your Highness is still in the border army, I dare to guarantee a complete victory in this battle. He said with regret, "General Zuo is just too stable." ”

At this time, a lieutenant stepped forward and reported, "My lord, all the brothers have come, and no one has been left behind!"

"Good. With a wave of his hand, "Recover the Hanging Sky Rope, and the teams will move on!"

In the afternoon, the spies in front caught the figure of the Gao border army.

In fact, the 10,000-strong brigade had no way to completely hide their whereabouts, and they were discovered by local hunters soon after entering the Qiguo border. Under the high bounty, these people can be described as the eyes of the border army.

At this time, the encounter site is still an extension of Pozigou, but the height of the crack has dropped to about three or four zhang, from the cliff to the hillside, the width has expanded to hundreds of zhang, and the surface has lost those strange stalagmites, which are enough for the army to pass. Thirty miles further northeast, you will reach Baixi Lake, where the landscape will suddenly become open and flat, and the numerical inferiority of the Qiguo border army will be revealed.

Therefore, it is best to do it before the other person walks out of this undulating area.

Ba Xingtian took the adjutant to the high place in the rear and approached to check the enemy's situation.

"Your Excellency, you see, they are all carrying heavy loads...... Wood?" Yin Guerrilla made an unexpected discovery. "Are they trying to build a new station?"

"I'm afraid that's it. Tyrant said in a deep voice. The road from Futianbao to this place was not easy, the raised slopes were very obstructive, and there were many forks in the valley that no general would want his troops to stay here long. If you can gain a foothold in Baixi Lake, a good view can not only effectively prevent the Qiguo army from sneaking into the valley to ambush, but also get a stable rear passage.

The only reason why the Qiguo border army did not seize this place was that it was too far from the rear station.

"This is already a naked invasion, isn't it?" Yin guerrilla smacked his lips.

"It depends on whom. As long as it doesn't hit the Leizhou Mansion, the imperial court will probably accept it - after all, for the ministers who have never been to the border, this place is just a wasteland that no one lives in. ”

Just as the overlord was speaking, two roars suddenly sounded in the north.

A dull echo reached everyone's ears along the valley.

"Thunder? no...... It's the sound of shelling!" Yin Guerrilla was in high spirits, "General Zuo's side has received the enemy?"

"Don't worry, let them fight first. Ba Xingtian said calmly, "Pass my orders, everyone is ready to listen to the number of actions!"

The sound of artillery came intermittently, and even the rear troops of Gaoguo, which were still on the march, had a certain amount of confusion. Some stopped and hesitated, while others continued to drive their livestock, making the valley floor a lot more crowded.

The overlord still didn't move.

Until the two skyrocketing firecrackers soared into the sky, emitting a sharp and piercing whistling sound. Even when it was more than ten miles away, its voice was clearly discernible.

That was the signal agreed upon by the two armies before!

"Blow the trumpet, the whole army will attack!" the tyrant gave the order.

The sergeants who had been gearing up for a long time suddenly rushed out from behind the hillside and killed the Gaoguo troops in the valley! Although the opponents had released scouts, they were basically concentrated on the right flank and in front, and they did not expect that a strange army would pass through the slope ditch and go directly behind them.

The marching procession was in chaos!

The Tyrant Heaven rushed to the front, and the giant sword in his hand rolled up gusts of wind, splashing pieces of blood mist everywhere he went.

"Steady, don't retreat!" An enemy general restrained his troops while driving his horse towards the overlord Tian, "I am Gaoguo Mengduo, and I will be a general!"

"I'm your grandfather!" "Ba Xingtian caught the spear stabbed by the other party with one hand, and pulled the person off the horse, and then slapped the handle of the knife, knocking the opponent's head apart.

"This horse is mine!"

After defeating the enemy general, he rolled over and stepped onto the opponent's mount and struck into the crowd once more.

The soldiers of the high country were horrified to find that neither the bow nor the slash could stop this person's rush, and the sharp blade seemed to have lost its usual sharpness, even if it was cut on the other party, it could only leave a light gray mark.

The invincible strange power, coupled with the invulnerable body, quickly someone reacted.

"Immovable the power of the gods!

"How did he end up here?"

"Where's the Warlock, notify the front team!"

The effective resistance of this force lasted less than a dozen breaths before it collapsed, and if one person turned and fled, panic spread like the wind.

And the crowding magnifies the effect of the collapse.

Everyone fled towards the exit of the valley, and the Overlord followed him all the way, splattering blood staining half of his armor.

But unexpectedly, in less than a quarter of an hour, the density of the crowd dropped suddenly, as if he had already killed the entire army.

What's going on?

The border army of Gaoguo is not as many as 20,000 people.

The situation that Ba Xingtian envisaged was that General Zuo and his elite would flank the opponent in front and back, eliminate their living forces to the greatest extent, and when the enemy's formation was chaotic and fled in a hurry, the two troops would gather together again to further expand the results of the battle.

But he did not see the banner of General Zo.

At this moment's moment, he had already rushed out of the valley with his men and horses, and his vision in front of him suddenly widened.

Ba Xingtian saw Baixi Lake not far away at a glance.

At the same time, there were dense soldiers standing by the lake, and they could barely see their heads at a glance. They lined up, armed with spears, and showed no signs of a great war.

And the flags waving in the wind in the team are all Gaoguo military flags.
