Chapter 155: Calculation
Looking at these long arrows, Zheng Hao's face sank suddenly, and he knew that these arrows were not meant to shoot his own people, but a warning. Judging by the number of branches shot by this wave of arrows, the bandits hidden in the woods are no less than the officers and soldiers they bring.
Seeing this situation, Zheng Hao's face suddenly became ugly, because according to the current situation, once the two sides start a war, the officers and soldiers under him will not be able to get benefits, and he will chase this bandit all the way, and in the end, this is the result.
"Let's go, please also tell Brother Ye that since we are destined not to be comrades-in-arms in this life, then we will divide the high and low on the battlefield." Zheng Hao is not a person who drags mud and water, and after weighing it, he quickly made a decision.
"Thank you, Brother Zheng, then my brother will leave first!" But in this situation, other officers and soldiers will soon catch up, Qi Jiao and Shan Fu did not dare to have any hesitation, after Shan Fu said politely, he took his men and withdrew in the direction of the woods.
Du Kuian, Zhang Gui and his Suzaku Army, as well as his subordinates, did not wake up from the joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe for a long time, and after standing for a long time, they reacted and immediately organized their bandits to retreat in the direction of the grove.
Zheng Hao and the officers and soldiers of the Baisheng Battalion led by him actually had no other way but to watch the bandits retreat into the woods in the distance, and reluctantly gave up the great achievement that was at their fingertips.
"Brother Ye Ying, I can make people like the girl and the door bolt follow you with all their hearts, and you can also build such a combat power for bandits, I, Zheng Hao, are not as good as you. Don't worry, if the cottage is confiscated this time, I will personally go to Jinling to fight for the three of you a chance to live. Watching the figure of the last bandit disappear into the mountains and forests, Zheng Hao muttered to himself.
"Commander Xiao Zheng, how is it? Did you catch the bandits? Zheng Hao was quietly looking in the direction of the woods, thinking about whether to rush in at this time, when a voice suddenly came from behind him.
I just turned my head to look, and it was Wang Sidao, the battalion commander of the Shaking Mountain Battalion of the Wild Lion Army, who looked concerned in his words, and his smile was full of different flavors.
Seeing Wang Sidao's smile, Zheng Hao certainly understood the thoughts in this person's heart, Zheng Hao became a battalion commander at a young age, which made several other people feel very unhappy with the more senior battalion commanders, and they were always very dissatisfied with Zheng Hao and the equally young commander Zhao Hu on weekdays.
This time, seeing that Zheng Hao was chasing the bandits alone with the Baisheng Battalion, several old commanders led by Wang Sidao were very anxious, they were afraid that Zheng Hao would win a great success, so they chased after him closely.
Wang Sidao caught up with the Baisheng camp, and when he saw that they didn't catch many bandits, he suddenly felt very happy in his heart, so he couldn't help but say a word.
"The bandits are in the woods ahead, and I'm about to chase them." Seeing Wang Sidao's face, Zheng Hao immediately knew what he was thinking, and his heart was full of disdain, but his face did not show it, and he quietly set a trap for Wang Sidao
Hearing that the bandits were in front, Wang Sidao immediately came to his senses, and the opportunity to make great contributions was in front of him, so he Wang Sidao did not hear the meaning of Zheng Hao's words, and was immediately attracted by the woods in front of him.
"Brothers, prepare to ......" just glanced at Wang Sidao, showed an affectionate expression, and then made a gesture to his soldiers to prepare to attack.
"Brother Zheng, as the saying goes, when Lin Mo enters, let the old brother's people help you explore the way, after all, they are more experienced." Wang Sidao didn't see the previous situation, he thought that even if there were bandits ambushing in this forest, it would not pose much of a threat to these elite soldiers under him, so he preemptively said.
"What are you still doing in a daze, take your brothers to the woods ahead." Without waiting for Zheng Hao to say anything, Wang Sidao had already given an order to the next team.
That pair of teams was Wang Sidao's henchmen, and when he heard Wang Sidao's order, he immediately took his team and quickly ran towards the woods without saying a word.
Because they didn't know what was going on in the forest, the soldiers of the two battalions of the Shaking Mountain Battalion and the Baisheng Battalion in the rear stood there quietly, wanting to see if this group of soldiers could successfully catch the bandits from the woods.
The time for a cup of tea passed quickly, and I saw that most of these soldiers had entered the woods, and the forest was silent at this time, and nothing unusual happened.
"Haha, it seems that Commander Xiao Zheng is a little too cautious, this small piece of woods actually frightened the famous Baisheng Battalion in my Wild Lion Army." Wang Sidao suddenly laughed and said to Zheng Hao, who was standing aside.
"Ah......" A scream suddenly came out of the forest, the sound seemed to be contagious, and then the screams sounded one after another in the woods, which suddenly made everyone present nervous.
After a while, the group of soldiers withdrew from the woods, and there were noticeably fewer of them, many of them still wounded, and some of them even had arrows stuck in them. Seeing that they looked dejected, they must have been attacked in the forest just now.
Seeing this scene, Wang Sidao's face immediately turned pale, he originally wanted to grab the first credit, but he didn't expect that the bandits ambushed in this forest still had some means.
"Commander Wang, it seems that your subordinates are not careful enough, and they were actually attacked by a few bandits." Zheng Hao said with "concern" on the side, which made Wang Sidao's heart even more angry, and he realized that Zheng Hao had long known that there was an ambush in the forest, and deliberately set a trap for himself.
"Report to the commander, there are many traps in it, there are traps on the ground, there are sharp wood dragons in the sky, and cut wood has been ejected, and many of our brothers are on the road." At this time, the team came to Wang Sidao and said with a sad face.
This bandit is so difficult, but he rushed to get in, and he can't blame Zheng Hao. Wang Sidao had nowhere to send out the evil fire in his heart, so he had to scold the team who led the team.
"A few of you, lead people to outflank you from both sides, and arrest all the bandits hiding in this forest." After a burst of anger, Wang Sidao arranged for the other teams, and now he has only one thought, to arrest these bandits one by one and give them the most cruel torture.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Sidao sent all the remaining people out and asked them to search from the front, Wang Sidao believed that under this all-round outflanking, the bandits in the forest must have no place to hide.
With the experience of the previous experience, this time the soldiers of the Shaking Mountain Battalion were much more careful, and only after everyone looked around did they take every step carefully, so that there were far fewer people who were hit by the trap.
After about an hour, several bandits converged in the forest, but at this time they were surprised to find that there was not a single bandit in the forest at this time, and now they had just attacked the group of officers and soldiers and then withdrew.
"Give me chase!" This situation was a great irony for Wang Sidao, who could no longer control his emotions and roared and gave orders.
The battle of crossing the river ended in a victory for the officers and soldiers, but Sima Chi, the captain of Zhaowu who led the troops, was not happy, although he captured and killed a lot of bandits in this battle, but he also lost a lot of people. The Wild Lion Army, one of the three major iron armies in Daning, actually planted such a big heel in front of the bandits, which can be regarded as a victory.
Under this mentality, Sima Chi also lost his initial spirit, so he had to lead people all the way, and finally camped a few miles away from the foot of Fuhu Mountain.
In the past few days when Sima Chi first arrived, the bandits of the Flying Eagle Society did not take the opportunity to rob the camp, and Sima Chi did not take the initiative to attack, everything became very calm, and there was no tension at all.
The reason for the current situation is that Sima Chi can no longer bear another defeat, so he chooses to wait for the army to arrive and then cooperate with the army to fight, and the Flying Eagle Club has not yet found a good way to defeat the enemy, so it has fallen into this stalemate.
In order to successfully stop the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain, the leaders of the cottage arranged their subordinates to build a lot of fortifications with mud and stones at several dangerous positions on the mountain road, so as to attack the officers and soldiers from multiple angles as much as possible when they attacked.
In addition, many traps and traps were set up in the ravines on the mountain to create trouble for the officers and soldiers when they wanted to go up the mountain.
But these strategies are just to make the defense of the cottage more stable, looking at the busy bandits of the cottage, Ye Ying and Zhuge Ying have no trace of joy. Because no matter how strong the defense is, you can only stop the pace of the officers and soldiers attacking, and so far, you have not found a good way to defeat the enemy.
Ye Ying and Zhuge Ying, as well as some important leaders in the cottage, don't know how many times they have discussed together, they put forward many plans, but after some deduction, they found that none of these plans could deal a fatal blow to these powerful officers and soldiers.
Now in the cottage, the most discussed thing is to defend and how to evacuate if you can't hold the cottage, but even the cottage that everyone has arranged together for so many years can't be kept, where can so many people flee to? The huge pressure was on Ye Ying's head, so that everyone in the cottage had never seen his smiling face these days.
The large army led by Zeng Yi, the new general of Guangwei, finally came to Fuhu Mountain, and when he saw the dense military tents under the mountain, a tense atmosphere was enveloped in the Flying Eagle Society. This is one of the strongest armies in Daning, and there are more fighters than the Flying Eagle Society, so the odds of winning this battle are too low.
"Brothers, under the mountain is the famous Wild Lion Army of Daning, they are indeed very powerful, and our strength is indeed inferior to the other party. But we can't lose this battle, and we can't surrender, because it's a dead end. It doesn't matter if we die, but our wives and children are old, so even if we shed the last drop of blood, we must defend our homeland. ”
Seeing the low morale of the cottage, Ye Ying simply gathered all the combatants and held a swearing-in meeting, Ye Ying's sonorous words made many combatants with their heads lowered raise their heads and began to look directly at the high place.
"Brothers, I think there is no invincible enemy in the world, only the uncourageous breed, depressed and listless can't solve the problem, it's the man who cheers me up and protects our homeland and our family together!"
Ye Ying used his internal force to transmit the sound far away, and even the combatants standing at the end could feel deafening.
"For our cottage, for our relatives, I fought with them!" Seeing that Ye Ying's words had successfully aroused the courage of the bandits, Chen Gang shouted at the right time.
"Fight with them!"
