Chapter 148: First Defeat

Looking at Gui Sanniang's panting appearance, Tu Chaofeng was overjoyed, he was waiting for this time.

Gui Sanniang swept in front of Tu Chaofeng with another knife, but due to serious physical exertion, her knife was much slower than before, Tu Chaofeng saw this opportunity, and swung out the mace in his hand fiercely, directly hitting Gui Sanniang's knife shaft.

Gui Sanniang was completely unprepared for Tu Chaofeng's move, and the weapons of the two sides collided violently, and the huge force made Gui Sanniang, who was seriously physically exhausted, unable to hold the long knife in his hand anymore, so that it flew out of his hand directly.

The weapon was smashed and flew away, Gui Sanniang knew that something was wrong, and immediately turned the horse's head, preparing to rush back to the bandits' camp. But Tu Chaofeng, who had planned all this a long time ago, how could he give Gui Sanniang a chance to escape? He quickly urged the horse to catch up, grabbed the soft armor on Gui Sanniang's back, dragged her onto his horse, and laughed and walked towards the officers and soldiers.

"The thief Hugh has to escape, put Sanniang down for me!" In the Flying Eagle Society bandit mountain, You Tong and Gui Sanniang have the best relationship, and when they saw that she was caught by mistake, they immediately became anxious, and rushed out as soon as they urged the war horse under their crotch.

But You Tong did not catch up with Tu Chaofeng, he was blocked by another general who rushed out of the officers and soldiers, and the two sides fought in place.

You Tong's kung fu is higher than Gui Sanniang, and a pair of axes in his hands fly up and down, and it doesn't take long for the other party to parry, which immediately makes You Tong have a plan, and simply capture the other party in exchange for Gui Sanniang.

However, Yu Tong's wishful thinking did not succeed, because the general of the official army was also a smart man, and seeing that he was not Yu Tong's opponent, he found an opportunity to make a fuss, and then quickly fled to his own camp.

You Tongdang just refused to let the other party escape, so he followed closely behind, who knew that when he approached the camp of officers and soldiers. Bows and arrows suddenly shot out among the officers and soldiers, forcing You Tong to stop advancing, and could only watch the other party leave.

At this time, there were sudden drums from the rear of the officers and soldiers, and this drum was the order for the whole army to attack.

"Brother of the White Tiger Army, kill with me!"

"Brothers and sisters of the Suzaku Army, everyone rush with me!"

Seeing that the officers and soldiers launched a general attack, Chen Gang, the commander of the White Tiger Army, and Fan Lingyan, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Army, issued the order to attack almost simultaneously. This is because, according to the pre-agreed plan, these two armies are the main forces fighting against the officers and soldiers.

Chen Gang and Fan Lingyan's kung fu were both among the top in the Flying Eagle Society, and the two quickly encountered officers and soldiers, and each quickly killed a number of enemies. This time, the number of soldiers under them increased greatly, and they stood with the officers and soldiers one by one with a roar.

A big battle between you and me started at the foot of Fuhu Mountain, and for a time the battlefield became a killing sound, people neighed on their horses, officers and soldiers and bandits were intertwined, and a life-and-death battle began.

Chen Zhi's attack was a bit tentative, so he only threw two or three percent of his troops into battle, so the number of officers and soldiers is now less than that of bandits.

However, the small number of officers and men does not mean that they will suffer losses, because the formation of officers and men is very orderly, with pikemen and chariots in front and archers in the rear, forming a three-dimensional attack mode. More critically, Liu Chuan's cavalry battalion was divided into two teams, outflanked on either side like two wings of bandits.

And the bandits obviously didn't expect that the officers and soldiers had such good tactical literacy, although the leaders of the Flying Eagle Society had already attached great importance to training, how could they be compared with the experienced Song Zhou soldiers in a short period of time.

After the initial stalemate, the bandits who had the advantage in numbers were divided by the officers and soldiers, and soon fell into the point of fighting separately, while the officers and soldiers advanced and retreated, and gradually controlled the situation in the field.

"Oh no, if this continues, it won't be long before we're going to be defeated." Seeing this situation, Zhuge Ying, who was standing on a high place, frowned and said.

At this time, Zhuge Ying felt very helpless, the comprehension ability of these bandits was indeed too poor, and they had already entered the detailed deployment before the war, but they were messed up. Even some of the leaders who had given a good account before only cared about killing the enemy after going to the battlefield, and did not play the role of command at all, allowing their bandits to be shocked by the officers and soldiers.

"I'll bring someone up." This situation made Ye Ying also feel very helpless, the Blue Dragon Army led by him was originally used as the last reserve force, but he didn't expect it to be used so soon.

"After you go up, don't fall in love, try to rescue the besieged White Tiger Army and Vermilion Bird Army brothers, and then return to the hillside and use the advantage of the terrain to deal with them."

Zhuge Ying knew that if Ye Ying didn't bring people to fight at this time, it wouldn't take long for the bandits to be defeated, so he had to agree to Ye Ying's plan.

Ye Ying is the one with the highest kung fu in the Flying Eagle Society, and there are also many good players in his personal guards, and as soon as they join the battlefield, the situation has eased a lot.

However, according to Zhuge Ying's arrangement, the bandits of the Qinglong Army, under the leadership of leaders at all levels, did not fall in love with the officers and soldiers, but rushed to the encirclement formed by the officers and soldiers, and brought out the bandits who were surrounded inside.

In this way, the bandits of the White Tiger Army and the Vermilion Bird Army of the Flying Eagle Society, with the help of the Blue Dragon Army, quickly broke away from the battlefield and returned to the hillside, using the terrain to hold on to the officers and soldiers.

Seeing that the bandits had withdrawn to the hillside, the officers and soldiers had no intention of stopping, and they began to organize their men to rush up the hill.

I have to say that the soldiers of Songzhou fought very bravely, they braved the rain of arrows from the bandits, and quickly rushed to the front of the ramp and met the bandits in close combat.

However, at this time, the officers and soldiers did not have such a big advantage. Because the hillside road is really narrow, it is really difficult for the officers and men to display it, and even the originally neat formation has become messy because of the terrain.

The battle between the two sides came to a stalemate, and the two sides fought back and forth for a long time, but the officers and men failed to successfully rush up the hillside, and many people on both sides were killed in the battle, and the blood quickly stained the hillside.

At this time, the voice of Mingjin suddenly came from the rear of the officers and soldiers, and it turned out that Chen Zhi saw that he could not attack for a long time in the rear, and it was not too late, so he gave the order to withdraw the troops.

Hearing the order from the rear, the officers and men acted in tacit understanding, and they alternated with each other. Some were responsible for blocking the pursuit of the bandits, while others got rid of the bandits around them and retreated to the rear. The bandits, on the other hand, did not rush down the hill to pursue the enemy, as they were ordered by the leaders at all levels.

It didn't take long for thousands of officers and men to retreat like a tide, and after a fierce battle for most of the day, the battlefield finally returned to tranquility.

"Big boss, the officers and soldiers have sent people, saying that they will send people to the battlefield to bring back their casualties, hoping that we will not take the opportunity to attack." A bandit ran over and said to Ye Ying.

"You told them that I agreed, but we said it first, neither side can attack the people cleaning the battlefield, nor can they attack the wounded people of the other side on the battlefield." Ye Ying didn't think much about it, so he agreed to the request of the officers and soldiers.

In this way, the two sides quickly sent men to bring back their comrades who had been killed or injured on the battlefield.

"Big boss, the statistics are out, more than 400 brothers died in this battle, and more than 500 brothers have to withdraw from tomorrow's battle due to injuries. Although we cannot accurately calculate the number of casualties among the officers and men, we can be sure that their casualties are almost half of ours. After cleaning up the battlefield, Ge Yun frowned and reported to Ye Ying.

Hearing this, Ye Ying's mood also became a little heavy, today's battle, it is calculated that Feiying will lose, if it is not for the advantage of the terrain, the officers and soldiers may even rush to Fuhu Mountain.

On the first day of the war, the number of Flying Eagle Societies was close to 10%, and even Gui Sanniang, an important leader in charge of a battalion, was arrested by officers and soldiers, which was indeed a headache.

"If you want to rescue Gui Sanniang, in fact, it's not impossible, it depends on whether you dare to be the big boss?" Seeing Ye Ying's sad face, Zhuge Ying said on the side.

Hearing that Ye Ying personally led people to the gate of the camp, Chen Zhi and Hu Huaizhi looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't expect that this young man was also a brave person, and he actually dared to break into the enemy camp alone like himself.

"Come on, take down these bandits for me." As soon as Chen Zhi appeared at the door of the tent, he gave orders to the soldiers with a dark face.

Hearing Chen Zhi's order, a group of soldiers behind him immediately took action, rushing towards Ye Ying, as well as Ge Gen, Ge Erniu and Gan Zhi, who had been following Ye Ying.

"General Chen, don't scare me, I'm very timid." Seeing Chen Zhi's appearance, Ye Ying immediately understood that his idea was to give himself a dismount.

"Your brother is really bold, and I know that this is just not enough to scare you." Seeing that Ye Ying couldn't be pretended to be scared anymore, Chen Zhi suddenly grinned.

"That day, General Chen said that the food in your camp is much better than my cottage, and today I came cheekily and wanted to ask for a good meal here from General Chen." At this time, Ye Ying also said with a smile.

Ye Ying stayed in Chen Zhi's tent for nearly an hour, and during this period, except for some soldiers who brought in food, he did not cause anyone else to go in again. Therefore, the people did not know what the commanders of the two sides said in the tent.

And what is strange is that the three guards brought by Ye Ying actually quickly chatted with the officers and soldiers, and from the mouths of these bandits, the officers and soldiers knew about it. Chen Zhi, the general of Ningyuan, was actually an old friend of this bandit leader, and he was a good friend who had forgotten his old age.

This situation made the officers and soldiers of the Songzhou Army curious about Ye Ying, and they wanted to see what was so good about the bandit leader who was blown up by Ge Gen, Ge Erniu and Gan Zhi?

Ye Ying and the four of them left the Songzhou military camp with satisfied expressions, and in order to avoid accidents, Chen Zhi also personally led the troops to escort Ye Ying and several people for a while.

The time was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, the next morning, the two sides opened their positions at the foot of Fuhu Mountain, ready to fight again.

However, before the battle began that morning, the two sides also carried out a prisoner exchange ceremony, and each side exchanged the people who captured the other party back, and even the leader of the Flying Eagle Society, Gui Sanniang, was sent back.

At this time, almost everyone could guess that the reason why the two sides would do this must have been negotiated between Ye Ying and Chen Zhi in their meeting last night.

However, the two sides did not close the distance because of the exchange of prisoners, and then both bandits and officers and soldiers quickly began to arrange their troops and prepare for a new round of fierce fighting.
