Chapter 528: Scheming

Xu Fan was shocked, at the critical moment, he couldn't care so much, so he could only raise the big knife in his hand and frame the false knife.

"Be a long one!"

The virtual knife smashed firmly on the big knife, and the powerful force that swept in that moment shook Xu Fan to a strange scream, and the whole person was like a cannonball, flying straight upside down, and the big knife after the armor was blurred also flew out of his hand, spinning in the air, nailed to the ground more than ten meters away.

Looking at Xu Fan at this time, he flew upside down and went a few meters away before falling to the ground, and after landing on the ground, he rolled back more than ten meters before he could stabilize his body.

As soon as his body stopped, he turned over, stood up from the ground, pointed his fingers open, and roared angrily: "Gold thief, you...... ......As soon as he spoke, he spurted out a mouthful of bloody arrows, scarlet blood slowly flowed out of the eyeholes of his armor, and his body shook from side to side a few times, and then he couldn't support it anymore, his eyes turned black, his chest was stuffy, and he fell to the ground.

Fortunately, he fell on the side of the You Army's camp, and the nearby You Army soldiers saw Xu Fan fall to the ground, and their faces changed in fright, for fear that Zhang Bufan would chase and kill, and people swarmed him and dragged him back to their camp.

Zhang Bufan did not chase and kill, to be precise, he is also powerless to chase and kill now, and this vicious battle with Xu Fan consumed too much of his physical strength and aura, although it was a victory, but it was also a tragic victory. Now, he has the intention to kill the enemy, but he is powerless to attack.

The big knife turned back into an ordinary big knife in his hand, Zhang Bufan supported his body, pointed the knife in his hand forward, and shouted: "Brothers, kill with me-"

As he said this, he stood up and did not move, but what he had done was enough for the officers and men of the First Legion, and the people crossed Zhang Bufan and rushed towards the camp of the You army like a tide.

If Xu Fan does not fight, the You army can still fight evenly with the coalition army. did not fall behind, and now that he is defeated, the result is that the morale of the You army will directly fall to the bottom.

When people fight against the coalition again, they can no longer be distracted, after all, there is a brave and invincible general in the opposing camp, and even their own main general is no match for others. How can he be his opponent?

While the soldiers of the You Army were fighting, they were also worried about whether Zhang Bufan would want to kill on his side, and under such a mentality, where could they withstand the impact of the First Army.

Soon, the news of Xu Fan's defeat spread in the You army, and the overall morale of the You army plummeted, while the coalition army on the opposite side became more and more fierce and brave, and gradually, the You army was already invincible. Its camp also retreated uncontrollably.

The First Army Corps fighting in front occupied Jinhe and took the initiative, which invisibly made the confidence of the new Red Army officers and men behind them even more sufficient, and people all saw the hope of victory, and shouted and shouted to follow the First Army Corps to rush forward and kill.

This kind of head-to-head confrontation between legions, once the disadvantage arises, if you want to recover it, it will be like climbing to the sky, not to mention. There is no one in the army who is capable of turning the tide.

As the fighting between the two sides intensified, the disadvantage of the You army gradually turned into defeat. The soldiers in front were either killed or forced to retreat, and the whole camp was already loose.

In the clan battle, once the formation comes out and is scattered, it is fatal, even if the soldiers of the You army can each fight one enemy and ten, it is impossible to beat the weak soldiers in a neat formation in a state of scattered sand. What's more, the coalition led by the First Army Corps is not yet a weak army.

Seeing that Xu Fan was seriously injured and unconscious, his own morale was low, and the disadvantage on the battlefield was getting bigger and bigger, Gao Gang realized that his side had lost this battle. If you continue to fight, you will only lose more.

The main general was not there, and as a deputy general, he took over the whole army and urgently ordered that the two corps be left behind to block the coalition army, and the other corps, the rear team became the front team, and retreated back the original way.

Takaoka's decision is still very correct, although it may be necessary to sacrifice two corps, but at least it can ensure that the main force is not damaged, and there is a turning point for another battle in the future.

The 150,000 You army had no choice but to leave two corps behind. These two corps were soon surrounded by 100,000 regiments, and Ding Feng issued a military order that there was no need to persuade him to surrender, and the whole army besieged and killed all enemy troops.

Pity these two You army corps, under the siege of the coalition forces several times their own, they were killed and wounded, and none of them survived. However, they finally died well, and the pursuit of the coalition forces was greatly slowed down.

After the coalition forces eliminated these two corps, Takaoka had already led the main force of the You army to run away without a trace.

The head-on battle between the Huaning army and the coalition army ended in Xu Fan being seriously injured and the You army being defeated.

At this time, Ding Feng was not in a hurry to chase and kill, the enemy had already gotten into the big pocket he had arranged in advance, and he was not afraid that the other party would be able to fly into the sky.

Sure enough, when Gao Gang was fleeing in the direction of Huaning with the main force of the You army, the front suddenly beat drums, flags were erected, and a crowded coalition army appeared in the middle of the road, blocking the way of the You army.

Gao Gang saw it clearly, secretly screamed badly, and urgently ordered the whole army to rush over with all his strength.

This coalition army, which was responsible for cutting off the retreat of the You army, came prepared, and when the You army entered their range, the whole army released arrows, and the arrow array was like a locust plague, overwhelmingly shooting into the You army's camp.

In the process of rushing and killing, before the official contact with the coalition forces, the casualties of the You army were extremely heavy.

After the two sides fought together, the first thing you encountered was the soldiers of the First Army of the two corps at the front of the coalition army.

This is another bitter battle in the dark.

The coalition army does not seek merit, but seeks no fault, only defends and does not attack, as long as the enemy army is resisted, and the You army is different, there are pursuers behind who may catch up at any time, and now they can only break through hard.

The battle between the two sides was bloody and tragic, and the soldiers on both sides were inseparable, and they couldn't tell the difference for a while, but the charge of the You army was also resisted by the coalition forces.

Gao Oka carefully observed the situation on the battlefield and shook his head secretly, the combat power of this coalition army should not be underestimated, and after the battle, I don't know when the road will be fought, in case the pursuers behind him arrive, and his own side will be attacked by the enemy, but it will be all over.

Unable to break through the siege in a short time, Takaoka could only change the military order again, and the whole army retreated to the south and ran in the direction of Tongcheng. In any case, Tongcheng still has more than 100,000 troops on his side, as long as he escapes to Tongcheng, he will be saved. However, in the net that Ding Feng had arranged, how could he give him the opportunity to escape to Tongcheng?

When the You army was defeated and fled to the south. He had just run twenty miles before the road ahead was blocked by a coalition force. The strength of this coalition army is also as high as 70,000 or 80,000 people, and it seems that it has been waiting for the You army for a long time.

Takaoka looked at it and his head buzzed. At this time, he finally realized that his side had fallen into the tricks of the coalition forces, and the coalition forces were intercepting them in the east, south, west, and north, and they had also fallen into the encirclement of the coalition forces.

So far, less than half of the 150,000 You troops who went out of the city with Xu Fan have left, and even the remaining people are mostly injured, panting and exhausted.

Knowing that his own combat power is insufficient. But Gao Gang was not willing to sit still, and ordered the whole army to make another charge, no matter what, to break through the siege.

However, this breakthrough of the You army has become the end of a strong crossbow, and the battle with the coalition army has not been long and it has shown a state of exhaustion. Although he attacked several times with all his might, he was never able to break through.

The Youjun army faced the encirclement tactics of the coalition forces. Repeatedly broke through the siege, failed repeatedly, and waited until dawn the next day, the You army was tired and exhausted.

On the other hand, on the side of the coalition army, the four armies have also converged in one place to form an iron bucket array. The remnants of the defeated army of the You army will be completely surrounded.

At this point, the 300,000 army led by Ding Fengqin has basically completed the task, and next, in the hands of the coalition forces that have firmly grasped the initiative of the battle situation, whether they choose to attack or encircle but not fight. can kill You Jun.

Ding Feng sent the battle report back to his own camp and reported the victory to Lin Haotian.

At the same time that Lin Haotian received Ding Feng's good news, he also received another piece of information that Guan Zhan, the main general of Tongcheng, had led all the defenders of Tongcheng out of the city and came straight to his side.

Seeing these two pieces of information, Lin Haotian was worried, he was not afraid that Guan Zhan would call, but according to Ding Feng's good news, the location where they besieged You Jun was near the road from Tongcheng to Xitang, only fifty miles apart, if Guan Zhan led the army to rush to the rescue, Ding Feng's efforts in the early stage would be in vain.

He immediately wrote a reply to Ding Feng, asking him to eliminate the trapped You army as soon as possible, and if he really couldn't do it, he also had to come to the help of the battle of the embankment through the city, and make corresponding preparations in advance.

After sending the reply book away, Lin Haotian summoned the generals in the army, selected the commander again, and met the reinforcements from Tongcheng.

Because Ding Feng made a good start and lightly took the Huaning Army led by Xu Fan, this made the coalition generals a lot more confident, and they were all eager to try and take the initiative to ask for help.

Now they want to ask for battle, but Lin Haotian still doesn't trust them, he directly named them and said, "Jin Cheng!"

"The last general!" Hearing Lin Haotian's call, Jin Cheng hurriedly stepped out of the queue and intervened to give a salute. Lin Haotian said with a straight face: "Jin Cheng, I will give you 300,000 soldiers and horses to meet the battle of Guan, can you be sure of winning?"

"This ......" Jin Cheng hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately. Guan Zhan is a famous fierce general in You Country, his strength is not under Xu Fan, the reason why Ding Feng was able to take You Jun lightly was because Zhang Bufan injured Xu Fan, and now the adult asked him to meet Guan Zhan, but he does not have a fierce general like Zhang Bufan in his hands, who can restrain Guan Zhan on the battlefield?

Seeing that Jin Cheng looked a little hesitant, Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" do you think you can't win the Guan Zhan?"

Jin Cheng hurriedly replied: "My lord, Guan Zhan is known as the head of the fierce generals of You Guo, and the subordinates of the last general, I'm afraid...... It's hard to be an opponent of the battle!"

Lin Haotian smiled and said, "What's so afraid of this?" As he spoke, he turned his head and said, "Wuyan!"

"The last general!"

"You go on the expedition with General Jin Cheng!"

"The last general obeys!"

Lin Haotian's eyes rolled, now is the time to employ people, don't let the fierce generals of the new red country be idle. Thinking of this, he raised his voice again and said, "Where are Yan Hui and Zhang Ben?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Haotian would call his name, Yan Hui and Zhang Ben first raised their eyes to look at Song Hao, and saw that Song Hao didn't say anything, so they stepped out and intervened one after another: "The last general, I don't know what General Lin commanded?"

"The three of you will go with General Jin Cheng, and when you encounter a battle on the battlefield, you can join forces with General Wuya to take down the enemy generals together!" As he spoke, he looked at Song Hao again and asked with a smile: "Brother Song doesn't mind lending their respective generals, right?"

Lin Haotian had already opened his mouth, Song Hao was embarrassed to refuse, they all nodded in unison, and said with a smile: "Although Brother Lin is transferred, now everyone is a family, so you don't have to be polite." ”

"Very good!" Lin Haotian smiled, looked at Jin Cheng again, and asked, "This time, with the three generals Ling Wuya, Yan Hui, and Zhang Ben to help you, you should always have the certainty of victory, right?"

Jin Cheng said: "Don't worry, my lord. The last general will not fail in his mission!"

"En!" Lin Haotian nodded, and then admonished: "Your speed must be fast, the location of the decisive battle between Ding Feng and You Jun is not far from the marching route of the first section of Guan Zhan, you must arrive before the battle of Guan and plan for Ding Feng!"

"The last general understands!"

For the Tongcheng Army led by Guan Zhan, Lin Haotian sent Jin Cheng, Ling Wuya, Yan Hui, and Zhang Ben generals. He led an army of 300,000 to meet the enemy.

Jin Cheng's tactics are not as complicated as Ding Feng's, that is, to meet the enemy head-on and crush the opponent with his own superior forces.

Even in the arrangement of troops, Jin Cheng is diametrically opposed to Ding Feng. When the latter fought with You's army, he put his First Army in front, but Jin Cheng did the opposite, putting the army of the New Red Kingdom in front and leaving his Fifth Army behind.

He thought it through. Since the adults let themselves be the bosses, if they don't take care of their own soldiers, it will be too careless, and it will also waste the hard work of the adults. If you want to fight against the You army, let the New Red Army fight, and your own soldiers are only responsible for the beginning and the end.

It can also be seen from the platoon of Ding Feng and Jin Cheng that the two have different personalities, the former is fierce and likes to go straight. The latter, on the other hand, is more scheming and much more insidious and cunning in comparison.

Jin Cheng led the army. Hurry up, but still can't reach the place of the decisive battle between Ding Feng and You Jun in front of the Guan Zhan.

However, to everyone's surprise, Guan Zhan ignored Xu Fan, who was close at hand, and directly led the army over and passed by him.

Even if the news of Guan Zhan is no longer well-informed. But he should be aware of the fact that he is so close to the decisive battle between the coalition army and the You army, and the reason why he did not go to the aid is, of course, his own plans.

First of all, he and Xu Fan have always been at odds, so let him save Xu Fan's danger. He was reluctant in his heart, and secondly, using Xu Fan's remnants to hold back the 300,000 coalition troops was not a good thing for him, at least when he led the army to Xitang to fight with the coalition army, the opponent's troops could be much less, and he would be more sure of victory. In addition, if he went to the aid of Xu Fan at this time and really defeated the coalition forces, then whose head should the credit for this battle be credited? Whether it will be counted as Xu Fan's meritorious service or his meritorious service in the war will not be clear when he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds in the future.

Because of these considerations, Guan Zhan turned a blind eye to Xu Fan, who was in a precarious situation.

When the Tongcheng Army was only a hundred miles away from Huaiyang, it happened to meet the oncoming Jin Cheng.

The two sides met on a narrow road, and no one could avoid it, and they each lined up in battle formations and prepared for battle.

Seeing the large number of coalition troops on the opposite side, Guan Zhan was quite worried at first, but after a closer look, the opposite side was under the banner of the New Red Army, and Guan Zhan's fighting spirit was immediately stimulated.

Others may not know the combat strength of the New Red Army, but Guan Zhan knows that it may be more than enough for the New Red Army to bully a weak one, and it is really vulnerable to a tough battle. Despite the fact that the enemy is far outnumbered, there is still a good chance to win this battle.

Against the New Red Army, Guan Zhan can be said to be both confident and motivated, and he took the lead in giving the order for the whole army to advance suddenly.

At the same time, Jin Cheng in the coalition camp on the opposite side saw that You Jun was in a battle formation and took the initiative to fight, he smiled secretly in his heart, originally he was really worried that You Jun would turn around and run back as soon as he encountered his own strong people, but now it seems that he really did the right thing by placing the New Red Army at the front of the whole army, and it really aroused the hatred and contempt of the enemy of You Jun.

He squinted his eyes, and saw that the You army was in a strong attack formation-Flying Arrow Formation, and he gave the order to go down, and the whole army met it with a crane wing formation.

The Fifth Army Corps was divided into two and served as the two flanks of the whole army, while the New Red Army was concentrated in the center, as the central army, to meet the main force of the You Army.

This is another battle of hundreds of thousands of people fighting head-on. The New Red Army totaled 200,000 people, and against the 150,000-strong You Army, it stands to reason that the scene should have an absolute advantage, but the fact is the opposite.

The 200,000 soldiers of the three armies could not resist the advance of the You army at all, and the soldiers in front fell to the ground in groups like harvested straws, and the wails of the battlefield rose one after another, shaking the earth.

Looking at the You Army again, the soldiers all seemed to have killed the red-eyed demons, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became, stepping on the corpse of the new Red Army and pressing forward.

This situation made Yan Hui, Zhang Ben and others standing beside Jin Cheng invariably drip cold sweat. They don't know how Ding Feng's side defeated the You army, but now the You army in front of them is definitely the You army we are familiar with, brave and good at fighting, and fierce style, fighting a battle, completely disregarding his life, like a madman, and like a bloodthirsty beast, although there are only about 100,000 people, but its momentum is not weaker than a million army.

Seeing that their Chinese army was defeated and retreated by the You army, suffering heavy casualties and chaos, and the enemy was getting closer and closer to their side, all the generals were anxious, and said to Jin Cheng: "General Jin Cheng, if you continue to fight like this, our army will be defeated, think about countermeasures!"

Jin Cheng's face was full of lightness, it seemed that the battle situation at this time was completely expected by him, and he said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, You Jun is just the end of the strong crossbow of the battle of trapped beasts, so there is no need to worry." ”

You said it lightly, the soldiers in front of you obviously can't resist it, and you are still talking cool here?!

The generals looked at each other, gritted their teeth secretly, and the last three of them were Yan Hui and Zhang Ben who spoke: "General Jin Cheng, the last general is willing to go out and fight to the death with the enemy!"

Jin Cheng seemed to be waiting for their words, and he didn't even think about it, and immediately responded: "Okay! The two generals should be more careful, and the commander is here to press the formation for the two generals!"

Yan and Zhang Erjiang's noses were almost crooked, Jin Cheng was not very good, and the battle had reached such a passive situation, why did he still press the formation for himself?

Not bothering to pay attention to him, the two generals rode one after another, covered their armor, lifted their respective weapons, and rushed straight to the center of the battlefield. (To be continued......)
