After the start of the battle, the officers and soldiers soon found that today the bandits had actually changed their combat strategy, and they began to hold on the ramp and refused to fight, but only tried their best to hold their positions.

Another difference is that the Flying Eagle bandits have apparently made a new deployment, as their arrangements are no longer as messy as they were yesterday.

Today's bandits are divided into several parts, some of whom engage the bandits head-on on the ramp, and rotate after every hour. And what made the officers and soldiers feel a headache was that there were still some bandits in the grove behind the ramp.

And these bandits were agile men, and they climbed to the trees of the grove and condescendingly shot arrows at the officers and soldiers. This strategy of the bandits was obviously very effective, although their bows and arrows were not many, but to a large extent they distracted the energy of the officers and soldiers, so that they could not break through the bandits' defenses.

The bandits' way of fighting made the officers and soldiers very uncomfortable, and they felt that they had no strength, but they could not find a place to vent. The people in front can't move forward, and even if the people behind want to help, they can't rush over.

In this way, the whole battle entered a stalemate stage, the bandits guarded the ramp and refused to retreat a step, and although the officers and soldiers worked hard, they could not break through the bandits' defensive line. can only think about consuming the opponent's manpower, so as to find an opportunity to break through.

The battle on this day was very dull, not as majestic as yesterday, but fortunately, the number of casualties on both sides was not too large. By the afternoon, there was still some time before dark, but seeing that the officers and soldiers could not get any benefits, Chen Zhi had no choice but to announce the withdrawal of Mingjin.

On the third day of the battle, the officers and men changed their tactics, bringing in some crossbows and making large trebuchets, which were used to bombard the bandits on the hillside indiscriminately.

It has to be said that this trick of the officers and soldiers was very effective, and the crossbows and boulders not only smashed the trees and grass on the ramp into a mess, but even some stones were smashed.

Chen Gang, who was in charge of command in the front, immediately ordered the team to retreat to the mountain, while the officers and soldiers pressed forward step by step.

In this way, the two sides hurried forward, slowly retreating all the way, and by noon the officers and men had advanced several miles, forcing the Flying Eagle Bandits to retreat to a higher steep slope.

This is the bandits' second line of defense, and if you follow this line of defense for a few miles, you will reach the Flying Eagle Society's cottage.

The success of this battle greatly boosted the morale of the officers and men, they hurriedly ate a little food, and in the afternoon they began to launch a new round of attack.

This time, however, the officers and men were in trouble, as the mountain roads became narrower and narrower, and the large catapults and crossbows that could be transported were very limited, and the pressure on the bandits was greatly reduced, so that the bandits could hold this important position by virtue of the terrain.

After a day of accumulation, both sides were exhausted, and seeing that it was getting late, Chen Zhi had to order to end the day's battle.

It was a cloudy day, dark and dreary, with only a few stars hanging in the sky, which could not illuminate the dark mountain road at all. The officers and soldiers were not familiar with the terrain and were afraid of falling off the cliff, so they chose to go back to the camp early to sleep.

At the third watch in the evening, a group of black shadows quietly walked out of the Flying Eagle Society's cottage, and they quietly came in the direction of the officers and soldiers camp under the cover of night.

If it were daytime, the bandits of the Flying Eagle Society would have stood quietly on both sides and waited for them to pass when they saw this group. Because this pair of bandits is the personal entourage of Ye Ying, the leader of the Flying Eagle Society. Their appearance often means that the big boss Ye Ying is behind.

These Ye Ying's personal guards were all carefully selected by Ye Ying in the Flying Eagle Club, and they were loyal to Ye Ying. There is also a difference, that is, Ye Ying often personally guides them to practice, and they belong to the relationship of teacher and friend.

Ye Ying's night vision is very strong, and he is good at climbing cliffs, and the personal guards he personally cultivated also have a strong climbing ability, and I have the ability to distinguish the direction and road in the dark.

This team of bandits dressed in black is less than a hundred people, and the leaders are Ge Gen and Ge Niu'er, the two of them have followed Ye Ying for so long, and now they have become very important people around them.

Ye Ying asked Ge Gen and Ge Niu'er to be in charge of his escort team, and he also seriously considered it, these two people are clear-headed, and they will find a way in case of trouble. The other is dare to fight, never afraid of difficulties and retreat, and their cooperation can be said to complement each other.

Today's operation is very important in Ye Ying's opinion, and he is still a little uneasy about letting ordinary people go, so he handed over this important task to his escort team.

Under the leadership of Ge Gen and Ge Niu'er, everyone chose the remote roads in the mountains, tried not to make any noise, and dived to the position where the officers and soldiers were stationed as quickly as possible. The steep cliffs along the way, relying on the ropes and iron hooks on everyone's bodies, all passed without much effort.

The camp of the Songzhou army was already in sight, but because the mountain road was so narrow, the soldiers could not set up camp according to some certain field shapes as usual, so they could only arrange some tents on the gentle areas on some slopes.

In order to avoid the sneak attack of the bandits, in addition to arranging a large number of personnel to patrol at night, the Songzhou soldiers also placed many branches and stones on the mountain road as obstacles. In the event of an attack by bandits, these things not only slow down the bandits' march, but also alert the soldiers in the battalion by making noises.

However, these obstacles could not stop Ge Gen and Ge Niu'er and others, because they almost all went over mountains and mountains along the way, and did not take normal mountain roads at all.

The patrolling soldiers focused on the top of the hillside, not noticing that Ge Gen and the others had slid down the cliff, and with the help of ropes and iron hooks, these people quickly sneaked into a hidden corner between the dozens of tents of the Song Zhou sergeants.

Strangely, they did not rush towards the officers and soldiers sleeping in the tents, but walked to an open space where supplies were stacked, and when they saw the trebuchets and ballistae in the clearing, everyone smiled, because these things were the purpose of their trip.

During the day's fighting, these crossbows and catapults made the Divider Bandits suffer greatly, and the bandits envied and hated these strange things.

"If only I could move these things back to the cottage." One of the bandits whispered.

"What do you think? Maybe before the things were moved, our lives were already here. Ge Niu'er glanced at the bandit and lowered his voice.

"Let's do it. The worse these things are, the better, and we can't let them harm our brothers anymore. Seeing that the officers and soldiers did not find themselves waiting for others, Gegen decisively gave an order.

These Ye Ying's guards also knew the importance of this matter, and listened to Ge Gen's words. They didn't hesitate in the slightest. rushed to these trebuchets and ballistae, dismantling them as much as they could.

Although everyone tried not to make a noise, in such a quiet night, dozens of people moved at the same time, especially those strong ballista cars, all of which were made of iron, and it was inevitable that they would make a noise when disassembling it.

And these sounds, which usually don't sound too loud, will spread far away in the silent night, and it doesn't take long for the patrolling soldiers to notice the movement.

Seeing the patrolling soldiers walking in this direction and this direction, such people simply stopped hiding their bodies and began to destroy these weapons that had killed and injured many of their brothers in a desperate way.

"Someone sabotaged catapults and ballistas!" With the shouting of a Songzhou soldier, the entire camp tent quickly exploded, and the Songzhou sergeants rushed out of the camp tent one after another in their clothes and ran towards the place where the supplies were stored.

"It's bandits, hurry up and block the exit, don't let anyone go." At this time, an officer in the Songzhou army discovered the traces of Ge Gen and others and immediately issued an order.

The soldiers were also quick to move, some of them rushed to the junction to block the mountain road where the bandits might escape, while many more came directly to the location where the supplies were stored, trying to prevent the bandits from destroying their weapons as much as possible.

"Gone!" Seeing that the officers and soldiers were getting closer and closer, and the goal of his own trip had basically been achieved, Ge Gen immediately issued an order to retreat.

At this time, the officers and soldiers had already lit torches, and the entire camp tent was brightly lit.

"The trebuchets and ballistae are almost all destroyed, find them all for me and kill them all." A young man dressed as a general was furious when he saw the mess in the supply department.

What makes these officers and soldiers strange is that they have obviously blocked all the exits, but these bandits seem to have disappeared out of thin air, and they do not appear in everyone's sight.

The young officer was reluctant to lead people around, and finally found on the edge of a steep cliff, with traces of people going up and down, and some ropes that had fallen to the ground. It immediately became clear that the bandits did not intend to evacuate from the normal road at all, but climbed up this steep slope.

What happened that night gave the officers and men a great headache, because these things were destroyed, and it would take at least half a month to repair them or transport them again.

Without these offensive weapons, the Songzhou soldiers were like wolves without minions, in the next few days of fighting, although they thought of a lot of ways, and the soldiers were not afraid of death, but they could not take a step forward.

In this way, the war has reached a stalemate, although there are dozens or even dozens of battles every day. But apart from a few more casualties, neither side achieved much.

The lack of victory for several days greatly lowered the morale of the soldiers, but what made the officers and men feel even more serious was that some rumors had appeared in the battalion in recent days that it was their Ningyuan general Chen Zhi and Ye Ying, the big boss of the Flying Eagle Society, that they had forgotten their friendship, so Chen Zhi deliberately released water during the attack and prepared to drag out the war until winter, so that Chen Zhi could collect his troops and return to Songzhou on the grounds that it was cold and frozen.

The news began to come out of the mouths of some people, and many people in the military camp did not believe it, but the rumors became more and more numerous, and they were vividly spread by everyone, and some people began to believe in the truth of the rumors.

The most important thing is that although officials at all levels in the Song Zhou army tried their best to block the news, this matter inevitably reached the ears of the prison army, making Chen Zhi fall into a very passive situation.
