Chapter 123: Protecting the Captain

An hour had passed, but the army in the encirclement had not moved; An hour and a half had passed, and they were still unharmed.

Huang Dajiang was already very anxious, and said in a hurry: "Black Dragon, I see that they have no sign of getting up and hurrying at all, and if they wait any longer, they will spend the night here, if you want me to say, whether they find us or not, we will rush over and kill them all, won't it be over if we snatch the horses over, what's the point of just waiting?" ”

The black dragon looked up at the sky and sighed: "There are still two hours before it will be dark, it seems that they should have discovered our ambush, and pretended not to find us, this should be a delaying tactic, wanting to delay until dark to break through." And this place is not too far from Fengge Ridge, if the people over there in Fengxiang Mansion find out that something is wrong and send someone to investigate, then we will be completely passive, don't wait, take advantage of their slack at this time, attack with all our might, and quickly take it. ”

Huang Dajiang's face was immediately full of excitement and high spirits: "It should have been like this a long time ago, the meat is in the mouth, and it is not my old Huang's style to do it like this." ”

As he spoke, Huang Dafa drew his saber and waved it forward: "Brothers, if you want to eat meat, rush with me." ”

The black dragon had a bad premonition inexplicably at this moment, he just wanted to stretch out his hand to block Huang Dajiang and then discuss and discuss, but at this time Huang Dajiang had already taken the lead and rushed out, and the black dragon could only shake his head helplessly, and also rushed down.

Although the four teams of sergeants led by Qin Zhen were very relaxed on the surface, they were secretly on guard, so when Heilong and Huang Dafa moved, Qin Zhen's side immediately found out.

Although Qin Zhen has always been disdainful of these bandits on the surface, he is extremely concerned and worried in his heart, as Wang Zhu said, the four teams are basically all recruits now, can they withstand the impact of an enemy four or five times their size? If they can't bear it, then they will not only not be able to catch the fish, but they may also be swallowed by the fish and slip away.

Qin Zhen also knew that his current performance directly affected the morale of all the sergeants, especially for these recruits who had not really been on the battlefield, he could not show the slightest worry and nervousness, only the calmness of everything under control and the momentum of contempt for the opponent could give the soldiers under his command the greatest peace of mind.

"They're finally moving." Yang Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief gently, his expression was a little soothed, this invisible confrontation just now made him feel a lot of pressure.

Qin Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Xue Yuan, Yang Xiaoqi and the others beside him: "They are much more patient than I expected, it seems that these bandits are not a rabble, everyone must be careful." ”

Looking at the soldiers who were a little nervous and flustered in an instant, Qin Zhen shouted loudly: "The first team said that you are all new recruits, you have no experience in battlefield fighting, and you are not suitable for this mission, do you take it?" ”

"Not convinced!" The sergeants of the four teams shouted in unison.

"Okay, what I want is your breath, this time let those veterans see, although we are new soldiers, but we will not be worse than their veterans; Let these bandits also see the gap between them and our Weizhou army, so that they can understand that not everyone is something they can afford to provoke. ”

"Three hundred meters!" Yang Xiaoqi shouted.

"Two hundred and fifty meters!"

"Two hundred meters!"

Qin Zhen nodded lightly.

"Formation, meet the enemy!" Xue Yuan shouted loudly.

"Huha, huha!"

Hearing Xue Yuan's order, the sergeants of the four teams shouted slogans and quickly assembled according to their respective positions to form a defensive formation.

Seeing that the sergeant on the opposite side assembled the formation so quickly and was not chaotic, the trace of bad premonition in the black dragon's heart became more and more obvious, and he faintly felt that this time they were likely to kick the iron plate.

But their men and horses have already rushed up, and the opposite side has almost reached the tip of the nose, and now it is too late to retreat or change the offensive, and these people are not all his men, and half of them are Huang Dajiang's men and horses, at this time they may not necessarily listen to their orders, now there is only one way, that is, to rush forward.

"Shoot the arrows!" When Heilong and the others rushed to eighty meters, Xue Yuan gave an order, and a wave of arrows rained down on these bandits, and more than a dozen bandits fell to the ground in a moment.

"Rush up and kill them all!" Huang Dajiang knocked off an arrow that shot at him with a knife, raised his horizontal knife, pointed at Qin Zhen and the others, and shouted vigorously.

Although the first wave of arrow rain of the Weizhou army injured more than a dozen people from Heilongzhai and Erlongshan bandits, this did not kill the slightest bit of the sharpness of these bandits, but aroused their ferocity even more, and under the leadership of Huang Dajiang and Heilong, they attacked the Weizhou army.

The Weizhou army only emitted two waves of arrows, and the bandits had already rushed to a distance of about thirty meters.

"Melee preparation!" Xue Yuan shouted.

The Weizhou army put away its bow and arrows and drew its horizontal sword. For a while, the sound of the friction between the horizontal knife and the scabbard was endless.

Although this place is relatively open, the jungle is dense, and the war horses are not suitable for cavalry battles, so the Weizhou army can only abandon the war horses and fight with infantry.

In the blink of an eye, Heilongdu and Huang Dajiang and their bandits had rushed to the front of the Weizhou army, and the two sides were close to each other.

As soon as they took over, the commanders of both sides were in their hearts, Qin Zhen and Xue Yuan glanced at each other, they found that these bandits actually had a bit of a military temperament, and the fierceness in their eyes was not owned by ordinary bandits, they still underestimated these bandits, it seemed that it would be a hard battle next.

And when the black dragon saw them rushing up, although many of the Weizhou troops looked nervous, none of them flinched, and the formation did not waver in the slightest, and the few people standing at the front always looked calm, calm and calm, and he also felt that the next battle was not easy.

Qin Zhen slashed over a bandit in front of him with a knife, and immediately a bandit rushed to the front, a knife straight to Qin Zhen's front door, thanks to this period of training, Qin Zhen has made great progress in both physical fitness and knife skills than before, swinging the knife to block the knife that slashed at the front door, a flying leg, the bandit in front of him screamed and fell down.

Xue Yuan is even more brave, although the Xuansu in his hand is more suitable for horse warfare, but now in Xue Yuan's hands has not weakened its power, Xue Yuan's Heavenly Painting Halberd swept around, and two bandits fell under his halberd. An inch long and an inch strong, under Xue Yuan's divine power, there was no bandit who could get close to him, and those bandits also saw Xue Yuan's extraordinary, and they all consciously avoided Xue Yuan and attacked others.

Although Qin Zhen, Xue Yuan, Yang Xiaoqi, Wang Tiezhu and others who took the lead were more brave, the sergeants of the four teams were all new recruits after all, and they had not experienced real battlefield battles, and their brains were a little confused when they were rushed to the front by the bandits, but fortunately, the training during this time had made the combat consciousness imprinted in the depths of their minds, so although their brains were a little confused, it did not affect them to wield knives and fight against these bandits.

With excellent training, the Weizhou army is not chaotic in formation, and the cooperation is relatively tacit, and the few people at the front of the formation are extremely fierce, which relieves them of a lot of pressure; Although the bandits seem scattered, they are fierce and fierce, have a strong sense of battle, and are numerous, often two or three besieging one person, and both sides have casualties on each other.

In this fight, although the Weizhou army was at an absolute disadvantage, the bandits could not take the Weizhou army for a while, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

With the passage of time, these recruits of the Weizhou Army gradually adapted to the atmosphere of the battle, and the cooperation between them became more and more tacit, and the casualties on the side of the Weizhou Army gradually decreased, and the disadvantages were gradually weakened.

The black dragon watched his men fall to the ground one by one, and was in a hurry, according to this situation, even if they killed all the Weizhou troops in front of them, they would damage at least half of the troops, and their strength would be greatly reduced, the black dragon secretly cursed He Kui in his heart and shouted to his subordinates: "Send a signal to the black tiger." ”

A bandit not far behind the black dragon took out a bullhorn and blew it "whining".

Not long after, a group of bandits rushed towards the Weizhou army from the direction of the bottleneck.

Because of the addition of this new force, there was a riot in the rear of the Weizhou Army, and the stalemate between the two sides was gradually broken.

"Yang Xiaoqi and Wang Tiezhu, you two bring people to the back to block them, and you must not let them break through our defenses." Qin Zhen commanded.

"No!" Yang Xiaoqi and Wang Tiezhu took a few people to the back.

As soon as Yang Xiaoqi and Wang Tiezhu left, the pressure on Qin Zhen and Xue Yuan's side increased suddenly, Qin Zhen couldn't turn around, and a bandit's knife slashed firmly on Qin Zhen's back.

Seeing Qin Zhen injured, Li Hao's eyes turned red behind him, and he shouted: "Lord Captain is injured, protect Lord Captain!" ”

As he spoke, he rushed to Qin Zhen's side, wielding his knife desperately and slashing at the bandits opposite.

Hearing that Qin Zhen was injured, the surrounding Weizhou army was like crazy, and the speed and strength of the knife also increased greatly, and gradually moved closer to Qin Zhen, intending to protect Qin Zhen.

And Heilong and Huang Dajiang were shocked after hearing Li Hao's shout, and then they were overjoyed, they didn't expect such a team of fifty people, the leader was actually a school captain, and this school captain was not far in front of them, as the saying goes, the thief captures the king first, as long as the school captain is killed, the Weizhou army will inevitably be defeated.

The bandits wanted to kill or capture Qin Zhen alive as soon as possible, and the Weizhou army was desperately protecting Qin Town, and for a while, the surrounding area of Qin Town became a whirlpool of the battlefield, and the casualties on both sides were also rising rapidly.

There are more than 200 bandits in Heilongzhai and Erlongshan, even if there are casualties, the manpower behind them can be quickly replenished and continue to fight; On the side of the Weizhou army, there were only fifty people, and as the number of casualties increased, the situation began to be extremely unfavorable for the Weizhou army.
