Looking at the news transmitted back in his hand, Zheng Da had a smug look on his face and sneered.

"Hmph, I thought He Xing had any ability, but it turned out to be just like that, and the order went down, according to the plan, to lead them to the depths of the forest, and then surround and annihilate."

The subordinate nodded, but did not leave, as if thinking about something, and after a moment, said.

"Boss, you said He Xing divided the troops, would this be done on purpose, and would there be any traps?"

Zheng Da showed a relieved look when his subordinates were worried, at least his people had not been carried away by the victory in front of them and began to think.

Zheng Tiantian took this problem into consideration, and he said softly, "The division of troops, most of them are not intentional, this dense forest is too big, the previous encirclement and suppression, He Xing concentrated his troops, mainly to reduce losses, and the combat effectiveness has been enhanced, but the marching speed has slowed down, so every time we encircle and suppress, we can escape smoothly." ”

"This time, Su Ji and Li Chongxiang gave a death order, and they are bound to completely exterminate us and the others, if they follow the previous strategy, they won't even be able to catch up with us."

"The best way can only be to divide the troops, and He Xing's division of troops is very close to each other, and it is not scattered everywhere, which shows that there is still vigilance, and if you really want to do it deliberately, it is impossible to do this."

"And even if it is a trap, with our strength, seeing that the situation is not good, we can quickly evacuate, remember, in the forest, it is our main battlefield, these border troops want to fight us, foolish dreams."

"It's worthy of being in charge, and my subordinates understand." The subordinates touted it, and without any worries, they left immediately.

At this time, He Xing, who had exterminated the first stockade, immediately caught up with the second detachment and continued the pursuit according to the clues found.

Dealing with Zheng Da for a while, He Xing still understands some of Zheng Da's layout arrangements, because of the concentration of troops, he failed to give full play to his ability to be flexible and mobile, and every time he pursued him, Zheng Da and his group escaped.

This time, He Xing directly divided his troops into seven teams and kept a certain distance from each other, which not only retained his strength, but also exerted flexibility and mobility.

This time he went into the forest to pursue, He Xing was with some preparations, and the previous pursuit allowed them to escape, but they found some clues and learned the location of some of the villages.

The first stockade can be successfully breached, mainly because of the clues accumulated before, as long as one is found, it will not take long to find the second place, the third place...

If you want to completely destroy the stockade established by Zheng Da, you have to rush time to see who can take a step faster, the purpose of this division of troops is this, as long as the first stockade is breached, the second detachment can act quickly.

He Xing only needed to catch up with the second detachment quickly, and in this rush for time, sure enough, after a while, he found the trace of the second village.

After a quick reconnaissance, it didn't take long for the second stockade to be exposed, and as expected, the two sides immediately began a fierce battle.

Because of Zheng Da's division of troops, the number of bandits in each village was one or two hundred, and the number was forty or fifty.

Eight villages, the number of robbers in the peripheral villages at the beginning was not large, and after encountering He Xing's team, it basically didn't take long to resist, and it showed a one-sided trend.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the second stockade was quickly breached and taken, and the soldiers of the Beishan Battalion, numbering more than 100, suffered no more than a dozen casualties.

After completely clearing the bandits of the second stockade, they naturally found out the location of the back stockade, and He Xing's state was like pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, and slowly uprooting the hidden stockade established by Zheng Da little by little.

Without the slightest stop, He Xing took some of his henchmen and immediately chased after the third detachment, and according to the clues, the third detachment also fought with the bandits of the third stockade...

This kind of encirclement and suppression, which was like a customs clearance method, lasted for a day, and He Xing finally rushed to the night and led the soldiers of the Beishan Battalion who divided the seven teams of troops to completely uproot seven of the eight stockades in a devastating way.

Today's battle was not smooth all the way, except for the first two or three stockades that decreased in number and were easy to take, and the number of bandits increased by the beginning of the fourth village, and even the defensive stockades were stronger than the previous ones.

After failing to take the attack once, He Xing immediately made a decision and immediately mobilized the nearby detachments.

In this case, the stockade behind was uprooted step by step and the bandits were exterminated.

Of course, if you want to rely on only 700 people to completely wipe out the bandits of 1,000 people, it is in the territory of the other party, and as it gradually deepens, it is really difficult.

Found the location of the stockade, this is impossible to run, but the bandits in the stockade are not stupid, once they see that the situation is not good, they have already smeared oil on the soles of their feet and slipped away.

Therefore, in the uprooting of the next few stockades, at least half of the bandits ran away, and among the seven stockades, there were only about 300 bandits who were exterminated.

The remaining 700 or so people were all hiding in the last stockade.

The location of the eighth stockade was naturally discovered, but He Xing did not rush to gather troops to attack, but sent troops to surround it, in a state of confrontation.

And it seems that he only wants to besiege, and he has no intention of taking the initiative to attack for a long time, and from time to time shouts to ask Zheng Da to put down his weapons and surrender.

The reason for doing this, He Xing is also helpless, pulling out seven villages in a day, the energy is still very large, everyone is nervous, the whole process is either in a hurry or in the encirclement, the intensity of this day, is not smaller than the storming of a county for several days.

Moreover, these bandits hidden in the forest are not all a group of cowards, as long as they find that the Beishan Battalion's offensive has been frustrated, it will be like a chicken blood, and they will increase their counteroffensive.

After several sword battles, the Beishan battalion of 700 people also suffered more than 100 casualties.

Don't look at the number of people reduced by one-seventh, but these are all elites, and there are one casualty, He Xingdu is very distressed.

What's more, the eighth stockade, just looking at the layout and defense, knows that it is not a tough battle to fight.

First of all, the village is built on a high place, in a condescending situation, and there are even two arrow towers at the door, which monitor everyone's every move at any time.

And it is said that in the eighth stockade, there are some big guys, what heavy ballista carts, logs, and boulders are ready.

The defense in the stockade is also reinforced layer by layer, and with about 600 people, it is not easy to take the last stockade in one fell swoop.

And as they gradually go deeper into the dense forest, they basically cut off contact with the outside world, and if they don't make some preparations, if the other party sneaks up, they are likely to be dumplings.

These are all things that He Xing has to consider, and what he can do now is to seize the time to let his brothers rest, and at the same time communicate with the outside world as much as possible, as for the besieged Zheng Da and others, they can only use some offensive battles.

Just when He Xing was arranged, time passed minute by minute, and suddenly, in the silent stockade, the fire flickered, and several figures flickered at the door of the stockade.

After a while, a loud voice interrupted the shouts of surrender.

"He Xing, come out and talk."

This voice was none other than Zheng Da, the leader of the bandits, and when he heard Zheng Da's shout, He Xing walked out of the crowd without hesitation.

With the help of the flickering firelight, he saw Zheng Da's face clearly, his face was indifferent, and he said loudly.

"Zheng Da, surrender, you have also seen it, seven of your eight stockades were destroyed by me, and now you, stick to the eighth stockade, I bet that it won't be long before the last stockade you rely on will also be broken and taken, and if you want to surrender when the time comes, don't say I won't give you a chance."

Don't look at the fact that the two sides seem to be evenly matched, and even in a way, He Xing is in a weak position, but this is only temporary.

With Zheng Da's strength, it is absolutely impossible to dare to take the initiative to attack him, once they leave the protection of the village, these bandits are just a rabble in front of the soldiers of the Beishan Battalion who already have the will to die.

Therefore, it seems that Zheng Da has the upper hand, but he can only shrink in this stockade, and after a long time, he will either be trapped and killed by He Xing, or when the reinforcements arrive, the stockade will also be broken and killed.

At this time, the battle is very effective, if anyone can shake the other party's belief for the first time, it will increase the probability of winning, therefore, He Xing shouted Zheng Da in a more powerful tone for the first time, in order to hope to defeat the belief in their hearts.

He Xing's voice fell, and there was obviously some noisy sound in the village, which seemed to have been affected somewhat.

But soon calmed down under Zheng Da's gaze, and looking at He Xing below, Zheng Da spoke.

"Hehe, it is worthy of being the three commanders of the Beishan Battalion, the strength of the Beishan Battalion, I can be regarded as a guide, the elite is the elite, if you do it with real swords and guns, we must not be your opponents."

"You're right, seven of the eight stockades have been destroyed, and even if the last one is impregnable, it won't be a matter of time before it is breached."

"So..."

He Xing's tense heart, hearing Zheng Da's somewhat soft words, relaxed slightly, he thought that Zheng Da would understand the current affairs and choose to surrender, who would have thought that he would change his words.

"So, has Commander He ever thought that your destruction of the seven stockades today is really the result of your strength?"

He Xing frowned slightly, and said coldly, "What do you mean!" ”

Zheng Da suddenly showed a playful look and said with a smile, "What do I mean, don't you still understand Commander He?" ”

"Since that's the case, then let Commander He see how much strength the bandits you underestimate are."

When the words fell, Zheng Da patted his hands lightly, and the next moment, the ground around the originally quiet village shook faintly, and then, around the pitch black, fires lit up in an instant.

One after another, the fires connected the surrounding areas of the stockade at once, and more precisely, surrounded the Beishan camp of more than 600 people including He Xing.

Looking at the number, there are quite a few people, at least a thousand, which far exceeds the number of bandits under the command of Zheng Da.

Under these firelights, countless figures flickered, they were armed with bows and crossbows, and they had already aimed at He Xing and the others, as long as they gave an order, they could immediately shoot them into a sieve.

At this time, Zheng Da's voice sounded again, "See, Commander He, for now, who do you think is more sure of winning today's battle?" ”
