A valley in the northwest of Dongye County, Huiji County, Yangzhou.

The soldiers of Huiji County and the more than 2,000 thieves who chased them out of the camp fought in one place.

The role of the soldier formation is to cooperate with teammates to prevent the soldiers from being attacked on several sides, and even after destroying the opponent's formation, several people can deal with an enemy at the same time.

Just like this relatively flat gentle slope now, the men and horses of the two sides keep paying blood and even lives in order to destroy each other's formation, while the main generals in the rear watch mercilessly, and from time to time deploy troops to supplement their weak points.

Looking at the front line of the two sides pulling back and forth, Yu Ze was a little dissatisfied.

The combat strength of these county soldiers is so poor, and they still struggle to fight so hard despite the superiority of troops and the advantage of terrain.

It seems that it is unlikely that he will completely annihilate the thieves this time, and Yu Ze is ready to change his tactical goals, as long as he wins.

The thieves in Dongye County are the biggest bandits in Huiji, and they have been rampant in the southeast of Huiji for many years, robbing caravans, oppressing villagers, doing all kinds of evil, and threatening Dongye County several times.

As long as such a tough thief can take advantage of it and hit the other party's arrogance, Yu Ze can go back to make a difference.

After all, Nie Junshou just asked him to lead the troops to fight against the thieves, and it is not up to him to decide to what extent, as long as he can get by on face and show his ability.

No matter how fierce these thieves are, in these remote places, they can't threaten the interests of their families......

And the few cottages that were previously broken under his command were either less thieves, or ordinary people who were extremely weak, had no combat experience, and did not even carry wooden sticks to the battlefield, and they could still cope with the same weak combat power of the county soldiers.

The slightly stronger one is the Huangshanzhai, but with the help of Neiying, it didn't encounter much hindrance, but accidentally let its leader escape......

But now Dongye's thieves are obviously different, these thieves have experienced a lot of battles at a glance, calmly lined up to confront the county soldiers, and several parts are faintly superior, if it is not for the county soldiers to rely on some advantages, I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain the situation of the two sides.

However, Yu Ze is not panicking, the current war is advancing according to the script he expected, the current situation just seems unfavorable, the Huiji soldiers still have a lot of advantages, and they still have key cards that have not been played.

Fortunately, these thieves have left their lair that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which lays the foundation for Yu Ze not to be defeated.

If they had been sticking to the camp, Yu Ze really had nothing to do, and if he ordered the county soldiers to attack, he would definitely suffer huge casualties......

The thief dared to chase all the way, and there was a reason why he was too arrogant and confident, which was also the result of Yu Ze's strategy to show weakness a few days ago.

After more than 4,000 soldiers from the entire Huiji County arrived near the Chang thief camp, Yu Ze ordered Zhou Junhou to lead more than 1,000 vanguard troops to the front of the thief village to challenge.

Through many small-scale contacts and defeats, Yu Ze successfully created the image of the county soldiers as weak and completely unbearable to fight, so that later the vanguard army pretended to be invincible and retreated, and the second master of the Chang thieves directly chased out with more than 2,000 thieves.

However, the second leader did not come up to the top, and he sent a large number of scouts while chasing the enemy to scout for possible ambushes on the way to the pursuit.

The thief scout used his excellent detection skills and familiarity with the nearby terrain to make the ambush soldiers arranged by Yu Ze have nothing to hide, so they have to go out of the hiding place to fight head-on, so the two sides formed the current situation.

"I see that the thieves still have some strength left, and I also ask the lieutenant to personally lead the Chinese army to press forward, and when the thieves are tired of coping, the Zhou army will surprise out again, and they will be able to win!"

Yu Ze shook the fan lightly and said confidently.

The soldiers of Huiji County are not all waste with low combat effectiveness, at least Yu Ze knows that the two hundred people in Zhou Junhou's headquarters are not bad.

Zhou Junhou is a side branch of the Zhou clan in Lujiang, after all, there is a family heirloom of military science, and there is the backbone of a few clans to support, and all of them are equipped with battle armor, which is definitely elite among the four thousand county soldiers.

Yu Ze naturally regarded them as the key to breaking the game, so he kept them hiding in the shadows and did not fight.

"Brother Yu's strategy is indeed a clever plan, so he will follow the order, and the place of the Chinese army will also be taken care of by Brother Yu."

Xie Heng was very happy to get a lot of meritorious deeds along the way, and now he saw that Yu Ze's arrangement was reasonable, so he took a thousand Chinese soldiers to join the front line without saying a word.

With the addition of the new force, the balance of power between the two sides changed, and the front of the official army was instantly stabilized, and began to gradually suppress the Chang thief formation.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the second master also led hundreds of elites to attack the enemy formation from the left side.

For a while, the battle between the two sides entered a white-hot stage, and the number of casualties of the soldiers of both armies accelerated, and the corpses of the fighting places were piled up more and more, and in some places the two sides even stepped on the corpses of their teammates......

"Report, the second master! There are more than 200 officers and troops attacking behind our army, and please quickly deploy troops to resist! ”

The second master relied on his martial arts and the cover of his personal guards to fight back and forth into the enemy formation to disrupt the formation of the officers and troops, but when the killing was rising, he was rewarded by the scouts in front of the formation.

He heard the secret saying that it was not good, and originally thought that the official army had done its best, but he didn't expect that there was a hidden living force.

The second master knew that there was no delay, so he immediately ordered a guard leader to bring more than 100 thieves to resist, and shouted loudly to the rest of the people to shrink their formation and prepare to retreat.

This kind of fierce battle line cannot be retreated immediately, otherwise it will lead to scattered formations and heavy losses to one's own side, and now one can only hope that the leader of the guards can resist the officers and troops behind him......

But the result hoped for by the second master did not appear, and this squad of officers and soldiers seemed to be very brave, and they defeated the soldiers he sent in a few strokes!

In this way, the situation was reversed again, and the thieves who lost their flanks were suddenly at risk of being cut off from their way back, and their morale was also a little unstable.

The second master made a quick decision and let hundreds of thieves gather in the palace, and the rest of the people quickly fled for their lives towards the cottage.

Some can go away is some, and the two masters of the strong man with a broken wrist still understand.

The morale of the officers and soldiers was high for a while, and they immediately attacked the forces after the thieves were broken, and the people led by Zhou Junhou also desperately rushed to kill, wanting to leave as many opponents as possible......

Yu Ze stood on the baggage cart on a high place, and was very satisfied with the changes in front of him, but before he could issue a new order, there was an urgent report from the herald in the rear!

"Report, the logistics and grain transportation team appointed by Dongye County in the rear was robbed by thousands of Yue people, and the other party not only seized the grain and grass materials, but also blocked the road to Dongye!"

Yu Ze was stunned when he heard this, where did these Yue people come from, what were they going to do, and when did they go around to their rear!?

"How many people are there in Yueren, can you see clearly?"

"Be above five thousand!"

The herald replied.

"No, I'm afraid the Yue people have premeditated, otherwise so many people would not have quietly and directly cut off their return to Dongye County!"

Yu Ze forced himself to calm down and secretly analyzed.

"Come on, I'll pack up and flee north immediately, leaving a few people under the banner of the Chinese army to collect the troops after Mingjin ......"

Yu Ze thought for a while, and then gave instructions to the clan guards who came with him.

Since these county soldiers can't escape, it is better to attract the attention of the Yue people and the thieves, and create a chance for themselves to escape from the trap......
