"Come on, go down and retrieve the crossbow arrows."

Several battalions of soldiers had just prepared to go down to retrieve the mending knives.

Wang Ping stepped forward.

"Wait!"

Everyone looked at Wang Ping, not knowing what the usually taciturn general had to say.

"There are new enemies! Get ready for battle! Otherwise, it will be too late. ”

The people did not know who to listen to.

"Listen to General Wang! All ready! ”

Li Chengzhou finally chose to believe in General Wang, after all, he has experienced a hundred battles and is the oldest general on the scene, so it is always okay to be cautious.

The soldiers lay on their stomachs behind the hill for five or six minutes.

"Is there really an enemy? Why haven't you come yet? ”

"General Wang will definitely not make a mistake, the first general under General Meng is not blowing!"

Ten minutes later, a number of soldiers emerged from the forest below the hill, carrying "Hu" flags and lining up in a neat line.

"A few commanders! The pursuing soldier was killed! They're all under the hill ahead! ”

Beneath the hill were three thousand five hundred soldiers, and their formation was noticeably much more neat than the pursuing ranks. Archers, spearmen, swords, and shieldmen all have them.

When they came out of the forest, the Don troops behind the hill could not help it, and the crossbowmen stood up and fired at the enemy below.

Organized soldiers are significantly better able to defend themselves against ranged weapons than scattered soldiers.

The sword and shield man raised his shield to cover the other soldiers behind him.

This round of shooting killed and wounded only three or four hundred enemy soldiers.

"They only have archers! Let's rush up and we're good to go! ”

The soldiers under the hill carried shields and withstood the fire of bows and arrows, and walked step by step towards the hill.

"At this time, shooting can only be a waste of crossbow arrows, and you should charge from top to bottom!"

At Wang Ping's suggestion, the crossbowmen retreated, and the melee infantry stepped forward, with the Imperial Forest Army, Jin Wuwei, and Sanzi battalions in front, and the melee infantry of other battalions behind.

The crossbows in the sky disappeared, and the soldiers who climbed up were a little unaccustomed to it, and they looked up to see that the crossbowmen were gone, replaced by melee soldiers.

With the sound of drums, the Tang army on the hill began to run downward.

With the blessing of the armor, the Tang army, which was charging downward, was overwhelming.

The armor-clad soldiers in the front row didn't think about melee combat at all, they relied on their own weight, the speed of their downhill charge, and the defensive power of their armor.

Rushing directly into the enemy's ranks like cannonballs, the tight formation was suddenly opened by these armor soldiers who "smashed" in.

The melee soldiers of the battalions behind them were the main force of the melee battle, and they followed closely behind the armor soldiers in front of them, fighting with the already scattered enemy.

The armorers who smashed into it also got up and fought in the enemy formation.

The armor soldiers can be said to be invincible, and the enemy army cannot stop it at all, and soon the enemy will retreat in such a melee.

Four thousand people came and two thousand people returned.

"Poor Kou Mo Chase! We've got to retreat! ”

Wang Ping blocked the idea that the tomahawk wanted to pursue.

"If you don't withdraw now, if the army of Red Mountain City is dispatched at that time, it will really be a hard battle at that time!"

"But it's uncomfortable to watch them run away like this!"

"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored! Be cautious! Otherwise, it's dangerous! ”

"I think General Wang Ping is right! Let's pack up and retreat! ”

The Tang army recovered the arrows and crossbows under the hillside, and then hurriedly retreated with the army, heading in the direction of the baggage cart, and did not forget to leave traces of people to cover up the retreat on the way to retreat.

The three commanders were very remorseful, and accidentally stepped into the trap of the Tang army, losing 2,000 people in vain, and one commander died.

The three of them decided to cover up this defeat and blame it all on Tang Jun!

In the chamber, kneeling were the three commanders.

"Prince, we really didn't mean to! The Tang army is too cunning! ”

"Yes, we were cautious, we didn't expect to fall into the trap of the Tang Army!"

"However, although we were caught in the trap and nearly 2,000 people died, we also relied on the terrain advantage to kill more than 3,000 people in the Tang army! In the end, when their army came, we fought and retreated! On the way to retreat, more than a thousand Tang troops were killed! ”

The three of them did not blush and their hearts did not beat, and they were blunt about their ambushes, but they exaggerated the results of the battle!

"They only have more than 5,000 left! We now have the advantage! ”

The three princes were happy.

"How did you kill so many people?"

"We fought more and less, and they kept sending small units to fight us, and then they couldn't bear the losses so they sent large troops!"

"Yes, yes, the level of their commander is really average!"

The three commanders were so familiar with each other that the three princes even believed it.

"Can you take us to see the battlefield?"

"Now the battlefield may have been cleaned, after all, I heard that the Tang Army is a man-eating monster!"

"Stand down!"

The three commanders hurriedly retreated.

"Big brother, what are we going to do now?"

The question was still asked by Tang Bo, who didn't understand anything.

"Even if they only have more than 5,000 soldiers left, we can't be careless, I suggest that we directly send a large army to attack and fight them in a decisive battle."

"But we can't find where they are!"

"We went out of the city, and 10,000 people scattered to look for them, are you afraid that we won't find them?"

"If we disperse, our strength will also weaken! That's stupid. ”

"Stupid? That's how we wiped out nearly 4,000 of them! ”

"I think we should attack White Bird City directly! There's a lot of food there, and they have no choice but to fight us. ”

"Fifteen thousand against five thousand, the advantage is mine!"

At Tang Fu's insistence, it was finally decided to attack Shiratori City.

"How much supplies will you bring with you when you go? Now the supplies in the city are also stretched! ”

"Take half of it! 10,000 people departed, and 5,000 were left in the city! ”

"What if the Tang Army attacks Red Mountain City?"

"I don't believe that they gave up White Bird City, which has food, to fight Red Mountain City!"

"Who's leading the way?"

Tang Bo shook his head: "I don't lead the team!" ”

Tang Fu Tang Hai rolled his eyes, even if he took the initiative to ask Ying, he didn't dare to let this uncle lead the troops.

"Big brother go! I stayed in Hongshan City, and if I really can't do it, I will grab food from the people again, anyway, I am already a bad person, and I am not afraid to be a bad person again. ”

"Then it's hard third brother, let's go now! It's noon, and if you find a place in the forest at night, no one will attack the 10,000-strong troops. We must rush to Shiratori City as soon as possible to relieve our stress! ”

Tang Fu decided to set off at noon, gathered 10,000 troops, and headed towards White Bird City.
