Chapter 844: Fire Attack
The bandits who appeared densely all around surrounded He Xing and other soldiers of the Beishan Battalion at once, and at a cursory glance, the number was at least a thousand, which was far more than Zheng Da's own strength.
He Xing's eyes flashed, he didn't panic, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Zheng Dadao above.
"It turns out that this is your real strength, this commander really underestimated you, no wonder I watched the destruction of the seven villages, it turned out to be waiting for me here."
From He Xing's eyes, he naturally saw that these people were not the support sent by Xu Shan and Feng Dian, if they were really sent, it would be absolutely impossible to have only such a small number of troops, these people should be the real strength that Zheng Da had accumulated during his time in Beishan County.
From beginning to end, Zheng Da has been hidden, probably for now.
He Xing's understanding, Zheng Da showed a smile on his face, and nodded slightly, "Commander He is right, these people are my confidence in Beishan County, to be honest, the management of Beishan County is really good, even with my strength, I can only barely expand the team by nearly two thousand people in Beishan County, but if it is changed to other counties, it will be more than three thousand people, which is really a pity." ”
"Although the number is not large, it should be more than enough to deal with Commander He at the moment, and Commander He is also a veteran, how can you be so careless, you don't even see the trap of the master, you say, do you underestimate the master, or don't take us in your eyes at all."
"I guess it's more of the latter."
What Zheng Da said, He Xing did not answer, but his silence revealed everything.
Zheng Da, who was condescending, looked at He Xing, who was being led into the encirclement below, and was motionless at the moment, and he didn't know how happy he was in his heart.
For this day, he waited too long, and when he first entered Beishan County, he always avoided contact with the people of Beishan Camp as much as possible in a way of showing weakness, and even if he did, he often collapsed at the touch of a button, in order to cause them, the bandits, to be quite afraid of Beishan Camp.
Over time, even if the Beishan Battalion is on guard, after a long time, when it encounters them, there is only contempt in my heart, and there is absolutely no vigilance.
This time, He Xing's seven-way soldiers are a manifestation of arrogance, in order to let He Xing and other people from the Beishan camp enter the arranged trap step by step, Zheng Da can be described as painstaking.
At the cost of the destruction of the seven stockades, just to let the Beishan battalion walk into the trap set up, it seems that the eighth stockade has been surrounded, thinking that it is just a kick away, waiting to be completely wiped out.
But in the end, it was surrounded by counter-surrounding, occupying the upper hand, and reversed in an instant.
In order to be able to wipe out all the people in the Beishan camp, Zheng Da put a lot of effort into dispersing at least 1,400 of the last 1,500 people, and the remaining 100 or so people became bait to defend the eighth village.
If it is a frontal fierce battle, 1,500 people against the 600-strong Beishan battalion, the number is crushed, but the two sides do not rely on any terrain, they face each other, and the final result must be heavy casualties, and both sides will die together, which is something that Zheng Da does not dare to bet on.
Therefore, if you scatter 1,400 people and surround them, with a frontal containment, this time it will not be a one-sided battle, but a four-sided siege.
Under this offensive, even if the soldiers of the Beishan Battalion are like wolves and tigers, fighting to the death and not retreating, Zheng Da is confident that he will destroy them in one fell swoop, who will let the eighth stockade not have many troops, but there are all kinds of logs, boulders, and heavy ballistas.
Under the condescending height, under the long slope in front of him, the logs and boulders were smashed down, even if the Beishan battalion had good combat strength, but under the designed trap, it had to suffer heavy casualties.
In this encirclement and suppression, they changed from prey to hunters in an instant, not to mention that this scene made Zheng mostly excited.
Six hundred soldiers of the Beishan Battalion are now trapped in the depths of the forest, even if they want to ask for help, under this kind of layer of encirclement, when the Zhongzhou soldiers arrive, the battle is over.
It can be said that the balance of victory in this battle has begun to slowly tilt towards Zheng Da.
Compared with Zheng Da's pride, He Xing is very calm, even if he is facing the situation of being surrounded, even if he breaks through, it is likely that the whole army will be wiped out, but from his face, there is no panic.
His gaze withdrew from the bandits around him, fell on Zheng Da, and spoke.
"Zheng Da, your arrangement is indeed good, but this commander still wants to give you a chance, a chance to live, as long as you let these people put down their weapons and surrender, this commander can promise to spare a life for some bandits who have not committed capital crimes, along with you, how about it."
He Xing's persuasion made the robbers around laugh sarcastically, and even Zheng Da couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably.
They looked at He Xing, their eyes were like looking at fools, what is the current situation? Don't you know? I was a little embarrassed to protect myself, and I even tried in vain to persuade him to surrender, which sounded like a big joke.
The ridicule on Zheng Da's face was undisguised, and he looked at the fool with disdain.
"Commander He, I'm afraid you haven't figured out the situation yet, and you want to persuade me to surrender? Do you think you have what it takes? ”
"Hey, I originally had some admiration for you, but now it seems that the boss thinks too highly of you, and it turns out that Commander He is no different from some stupid people."
"For the sake of dealing with you for a while, Ben Dang will send you on the road, rest assured, after you die, Ben Dang will cut off your heads and give them to King Yu and Zhongzhou Mu as gifts."
"Send them on their way, do it."
Zheng Da's face was full of disdain, and then he waved his hand, signaling the surrounding subordinates to make a move, preparing to completely wipe out the Beishan battalion of this remnant army.
But at this time, He Xing, who had a calm face, laughed loudly, and his laughter was full of rampant arrogance that was even more arrogant than Zheng Da.
Zheng Da frowned slightly, his arm stopped in mid-air, and the surrounding bandits immediately stopped moving, looked at He Xing, and said coldly.
"The surname is He, what are you laughing at!"
"Hmph, I think Master Zheng can't see the situation clearly, and I don't cherish the opportunity to save your life, since this is the case, the commander has no choice but to send you on the road."
At the moment when He Xing's voice fell, suddenly, there was some abnormal movement in the stockade, and if you listened carefully, these abnormal sounds came from the back of the village, that is, the back mountain.
It stands to reason that there can be no people in the back mountain, because the back mountain is a high and steep cliff, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to climb up.
It is precisely because of this that Zheng Dacai chose the eighth village here, and the cliff behind the mountain is a moat, without any worries.
It was this kind of worries, and after a while, the abnormal movement that came was quickly replaced by a rapid noise, and everyone looked, and the next moment, there was a whoosh.
In the darkness behind, an arrow came at a rapid pace, not at anyone, but at the flagpole hanging at the door of the stockade.
The flagpole broke, and after a while, the flag on it fell in a daze, this move startled Zheng Da and them, and they just wanted to open their mouths to shout the enemy attack.
In the darkness, there was also a little fire, and the firelight appeared, and soon joined together, and then, countless figures came out of the darkness, and his arrows were aimed at the hundred or so people in the stockade.
As soon as someone dares to shout a word, they will be immediately shot into a sieve.
This sudden appearance of the enemy made Zheng Da's face change instantly, he couldn't have imagined that the mountain behind the cliff, which was regarded as a moat, would come up so many times at once.
Roughly speaking, there are at least four or five hundred people.
Four or five hundred people were so silent, touching the sieve from the mountain behind them, but they didn't know anything about it, which made Zheng Da speechless.
Staring at the four or five hundred people who appeared, with his vision, he could naturally see that these people were definitely not ordinary people, and the cold aura emitted from their bodies alone was definitely crawling out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain.
There can be such soldiers in Zhongzhou, and only the elite of Zhongzhou soldiers can be found.
Zheng Dameng turned his head, looked at He Xing below, and said coldly, "Okay, He Xing, the master really underestimated you, I didn't expect you to bring the elite of the Zhongzhou soldiers up, no wonder you have been surrounding but not fighting, persuading to surrender, it turned out that you were waiting for this." ”
Zheng Da asked, He Xing was noncommittal and did not answer, so he looked at Zheng Da silently.
Even if he was put on a position by He Xing, and four or five hundred Zhongzhou soldiers appeared behind him, Uncle Zheng was not stunned at all, he said coldly.
"These people climbed up from the back mountain, which was something that Ben didn't expect, but wanted to see these people. I just want to make Ben Boss succumb, He Xing, you are too clever to me. ”
"Since you and I have arranged a backhand, let's see who can survive to the end in the other party's backhand."
"Brothers, now we have no way to retreat, if we want to live, we can only fight to the death, follow the master, kill them all, and fight to the death."
Zheng Da pulled out the big knife from his waist and shouted, anyone could see that he was boosting morale.
I have to say that at such a critical juncture, this kind of morale boost really has some use.
Don't look at the fact that they only have a hundred or ten numbers, but those who can be by Zheng Da's side can be regarded as reliable henchmen, even if they face four or five hundred people in front of them, in such a short battle, it is not necessary to destroy them quickly.
Once the village moves, the bandits surrounding the Beishan camp will also act quickly, Zheng Da doesn't believe He Xing and them, they are not afraid of death, and they have to break the net with them.
Zheng Da gambled on whether the other party had the courage to die together, even if it was He Xing, Zheng Da didn't believe that he had such courage, if he really wanted to, he wouldn't live until now.
It was in this way that Zheng Da forced He Xing to back down.
And the fact is as Zheng Da expected, He Xing did not plan to end up together, looking at the tense situation in front of him, He Xing did not make a move.
Seeing this, Zheng Da's heart was slightly relieved, and he just wanted to say something, but He Xing's voice sounded directly.
"Zheng Dangjia is right, the same commander does not have the courage, just because he feels worthless, after all, it is in the face of you bandits, it is really a waste to use this way."
"I don't know if Zheng Da is in charge, have you heard of fire attack?"
Zheng Da was stunned for a moment, his mind spun rapidly, and after a while, under his gaze, the Beishan battalion, together with another enemy facing the village, almost unanimously lit the bow and crossbow in their hands, and then aimed at the forest behind everyone.
At this moment, Zheng Da instantly understood He Xing's intentions.
