The sound of guns in the woods obviously attracted the attention of Gaoyang garrison Huang Wenchang, and when the news of the thieves setting up an ambush in the woods came from the front team, Huang Wenchang was stunned, and he delayed for a few days, and he swore an oath and rested, and you Li Xingzhi didn't take it seriously at all, this is not taking the 700 garrison army in his eyes at all.

As the saying goes, the clay man still has three points of fire, not to mention the dignified garrison master, if he is frightened by the ambush of the thieves and does not dare to enter the army, how will he be a person when he returns to Gaoyang in the future?

Looking at Zhang Da, who was panting and running over, Huang Wenchang said angrily: "Zhang Baihu, Ben will allocate another 200 soldiers with you, and you must drive the thieves out to Ben General." ”

Zhang Da was stunned when he heard this, pounced, knelt down, and said: "Huang Shoubei, it's not that the last general is unwilling, it's just that the soldiers who fled back reported that there are five or six hundred thieves!" ”

"Bastard, where did Li Yi come from so many people, even if the tenants of Leijiabao are all coerced by him, there will be no more than two hundred people who can go to the battlefield, if you don't move forward, the general's military law will not recognize people."

Looking at Huang Wenchang, who was furious, Zhang Da had no choice but to take the order, selected two hundred people in the team, and hurried away.

Like the tenants under Li Xingzhi, the displaced people have never been on the battlefield, people have a commonality, and the Ming army composed of displaced people did not dare to enter the woods at all, and the sound of birds and the screams of the Ming army just now clearly told them that there were murderous thieves in ambush in the woods.

"Those who enter live, and those who do not enter die!" In the face of the wandering homeless, Zhang Da personally stepped forward and casually cut down a pale homeless person, and the rest of the Ming army also raised their swords and spears, and their eyes were full of bloodthirsty light.

Before they died, the homeless people had to be brave and slowly walked into the terrifying woods, but no matter how they searched, there was no trace of thieves in the woods except for the corpses of those Ming soldiers.

"Let these abominable rats run away!" Zhang Da hatefully cut off a section of the tree branch, and reluctantly gave the order to withdraw the troops.

This time, Huang Wenchang did not delay for any reason, but ordered the whole army to speed up, because as long as they passed the official road of Liangcun and Shi's for several miles, they could reach Dajiaotai, so that those thieves would no longer have the possibility of sneak attack.

The reason is that Dajiaotai was originally a horse farm for the Song army to domesticate war horses during the Northern Song Dynasty, where the terrain was flat, and there were no woods for hiding people within a radius of several miles.

Li Xingzhi and others were just this, when he retreated from the woods, he only retreated a mile, and the movements of the Ming army on the official road could not be concealed from him at all, plus there were not many other horses and horses, only more than forty people, and he could re-set up an ambush anytime and anywhere.

Looking at the Ming army getting closer and closer on the official road, Li Xingzhi gave the order to attack again, the archers who had experience once, this time the shooting effect was obviously much better than the former, plus the Ming army was indecently gathered on the official road, the archers only needed to shoot the arrows on the official road, and it would definitely not fail.

In the first round of shooting alone, more than a dozen Ming soldiers were injured by arrows, and even three people were killed on the spot after being shot at the vital point.

Huang Wenchang knew that if he sent someone to search the forest, he would definitely find nothing, so he had no choice but to order: "Raise the shield, the sword and shield hands are all concentrated on the side of the woods, protect the brigade for the general, advance at full speed, and we will be safe when we arrive at the Great Sect Stage." ”

Li Youcai was shocked, walked up to Huang Wenchang and said: "Owner, our grain and grass are hoarded on the side of Leijiabao, if this thief follows Cao Mengde to burn the black nest, how can it be good?" ”

Huang Wenchang peeked at Lei Chuang, and saw that he was rectifying the courtyard in the rear team, so he laughed and said: "Burned Leijiabao, we have no food and grass, just retreat from the army, when I went out before, the general asked Lei Zhibo to pass the people, and the responsibility for the defeat has nothing to do with us." ”

Li Youcai saw that Huang Wenchang was in his chest, so he didn't say anything more, so he had to follow the brigade and continue to move forward.

The Ming army ignored the attack of his own side and continued to advance, which surprised Li Xingzhi, in fact, this is also the fact that the hit rate of the archers is not high, and the damage of the arrows is far less than that of the sword and spear, but this time he himself has the idea of training with battle, since you are willing to be a live target, then why not do it yourself.

"Shoot on the back, all the archers shoot on the back, and the bird gunners also shoot at the leader, Lao Tzu wants to see how long Huang Wenchang can endure." Li Xingzhi sneered and looked at the shield array laid by the Ming army, which was to issue a military order.

"Bah, Bah, Bah!" Several leaders who had been waiting impatiently for a long time raised their guns and shots, although there were only seven rings, but they were also frightened that those sword and shield soldiers shrank one by one, and raised their shields flat, not daring to move, but at this time, dozens of arrows fell on the top of their heads, and more than ten people were injured immediately, and there was a commotion on the official road.

The archers of the front battalion did not stop shooting, they took arrows and drew their bows one by one, and once again poured arrows at the Ming army on the official road.

The Ming army, armed by displaced people, had already panicked, and even timid soldiers began to retreat to the rear, trying to escape from this frightening battlefield.

Huang Wenchang was extremely angry, this time he conquered Li Xingzhi, he had enough to back down, but you stuck up like a dog skin plaster, and you couldn't get rid of it if you wanted to.

"Zhang Baihu, you take our brothers to suppress the newly recruited soldiers and horses as soon as possible, and then give Ben General to drive out the hateful thieves."

"Whoa!"

Zhang Da bowed down to receive the order, turned his head and slashed down a soldier who wanted to escape.

He was also tired of this series of attacks, as if he was holding back a fire in his heart, his eyes were full of fierceness, and the long knife in his hand made a move, and shouted angrily: "The whole army rushes to Lao Tzu, and if you retreat, you will not be killed." ”

More than ten Huang family members rushed to the retreating Ming army with knives, and after a frantic slashing, more than ten Ming soldiers who wanted to escape were cut to the ground.

Looking at the corpses in one place, where did the newly attached Ming army dare to run around, and was driven by the Ming army and rushed to the woods.

"Hurry back!"

Seeing the Ming army rushing down the official road, Li Xingzhi gave a resolute order.

In fact, there was no need for Li Xing to order, looking at the dense Ming army, the archers did not dare to engage in battle at all, and turned around and ran away after greeting each other.

Due to the early preparation, the retreat of the front battalion was very fast, and there were few people, so it was also very convenient to escape, and it only took a few dozen breaths before disappearing into the dense forest.

Looking at the empty woods, Zhang Da wanted to cry without tears, what kind of battle was this fighting? This Li Xingzhi is too thief! As soon as we go to the official road, you will come over and sneak attack, as soon as we pursue, you will run away without a trace, if you go back and forth a few times, you will still restrain those homeless people?

Zhang Da, who found nothing, had to return to the official road with people, and after two consecutive back-and-forth searches, coupled with the continuous attacks of the thieves, the newly attached Ming army would have long lost their morale, and they fell on the official road one by one.

Faced with such a dilemma, Gaoyang garrison Huang Wenchang fell into a dilemma, he sent troops until now, the side of the thief has not been touched, and dozens of people have been killed and wounded.
