At the foot of the White Tiger Mountain, seeing the performance of the Kong brothers leading the crowd to shake the military formation of the Jiazi Battalion head-on, many soldiers showed a look of vigilance, this White Tiger Mountain Bandit is indeed stronger than they imagined, if it weren't for their own hard training for several months, they might not be able to stop their ferocious attack.

But Lin Chong narrowed his eyes at this time and said: "Eunuch, although this gang of bandits is not weak, but the people they rely on are only those two leaders, it is better to let the last general go up the mountain to defeat them, so it will be much easier to capture the cottage." "He could easily defeat them earlier, and now he will definitely win in one fell swoop when he goes up the mountain and fights again.

But to his surprise, Sun Tu shook his head: "No, we shouldn't make a move this time." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Zhiluda and the others around them were also puzzled, in fact, if Lin Chong didn't speak, the two of them would also have to fight. Although there was a mess of battle on the mountain, they could still clearly see the role of the Kong brothers in the battle, and they were already eager to try and break the enemy.

Sun Tu glanced at them, and then said with a serious expression: "This attack on White Tiger Mountain is not only to suppress them, but also to train my Qingzhou soldiers. If we go up the mountain at this time, we can easily defeat the enemy, but we don't have much improvement for the soldiers below. I just want them to go through life and death so that they can make great progress. ”

"But ......" Lin Chong still hesitated, because he had already seen that under the fighting of the Kong brothers, the shield soldiers at the forefront of the official army had already collapsed, and if it continued like this, the damage would be great.

"There are three mountain bandits in my Qingzhou, among which Baihu Mountain has the least troops, and the mountain is also the lowest, if this can't be attacked, then when we go to attack Erlong Mountain, there will only be greater casualties. Therefore, it is better to spend more time here, even if there are more casualties, so that the soldiers can understand the way to attack the mountain and kill the enemy! Sun Tu said his intentions with a resolute face, and then shouted loudly: "You can all see clearly, the thieves on the White Tiger Mountain are so powerful, the bandits in Erlong Mountain are twice as strong as them, if we want to pacify the three mountains, we must practice hard, and we should use our brains more when fighting the enemy!" But these words were said to the soldiers around him.

These people also saw the bitter battle on the mountain, and when they heard this, they were also heartfelt, and they immediately agreed, and everyone's eyes became resolute at this moment.

When Sun Tu saw it, he was a little satisfied, and then glanced at Feng Yu, the commander of the B-word battalion: "You are ready, and you will soon go up to replace the brothers of the A-word battalion." Although he said harshly, he didn't want the Jiazi battalion to suffer too many casualties after all, and it was time to change men and horses to continue attacking the mountain.

Just as the soldiers of the B battalion began to assemble in formation, intending to go up the mountain, the battle situation on the mountain changed again.

The power of the Kong brothers slashed and cut a path, which greatly boosted the morale of those minions behind them, and they all immediately roared and brandished their weapons and rushed forward. But at this moment, dozens of spears suddenly swept out from behind the shield soldier, piercing the chests of those minions who were in a hurry to step forward. And at the moment when they screamed, the middle of the army formation suddenly separated, and a group of sword soldiers also pounced, and the sword flashed and cut those seriously injured enemies to the ground.

After that, the spearmen continued to draw their spears and stab again, stabbing all the bandits in front of them who were frightened by this sudden change to the ground, and then the swordsmen went up again...... In just an instant, as many as forty or fifty of the bandits of White Tiger Mountain fell, bluffing the others into retreating quickly, and for the first time, their eyes showed a look of fear.

After all, the Jiazi Battalion is the most elite of the Qingzhou Army, and Zhou Xing is not a fool who will only carry it to the end. When he found that the enemy was fierce and the two leaders were fierce again, he had already calculated the strategy of defeating the enemy in the array. And while letting the shield soldiers die in front, he has already made arrangements for changing formations behind him, using spearmen to surprise and then harvesting with knife soldiers, the cooperation of the two sides, coupled with the sudden attack, really killed the enemy by surprise.

Not only the people of Baihu Mountain, but also the officers and soldiers under the mountain were also a little surprised, Sun Tu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and stroked his palms and said: "Zhou Xing has some methods, and he knows how to change when he is in battle." But even so, he still didn't let the people of Camp A take risks, and turned around and said, "Mingjin let them come down, and the people of Camp B will go up to pick them up!" ”

Immediately, a soldier was ordered to ring the bronze bell, and the sound immediately reached the mountain.

At this time, the morale of the Jiazi battalion was greatly boosted, and under the command of Zhou Xing, they were about to continue to kill on the mountain, when they heard the sound of gold from below, which made the forward rush of the sergeants abruptly.

At the same time, the Kong brothers, who could only keep retreating because of too many losses, were also angry. Just now, the two of them wanted to rush forward in the same way again, but they rushed to the front of the officers and soldiers, their swords were still some distance away from the enemy, but a few spears had already stabbed from below, forcing them to return their swords to defend themselves, and at the same time, their bodies involuntarily kept retreating, and their original plans were completely frustrated.

Seeing that the situation was very bad, the two of them were really a little panicked, so just before the official army was about to mingjin, Kong Ming had already shouted loudly: "Release the arrow!" Then they quickly retreated, revealing the crossbow team that had been prepared for a long time behind them.

As soon as the officers and soldiers of the A-shaped battalion below stopped, a rain of arrows shot at them, causing them to hurriedly erect their shields and wave their weapons to parry and block. But this time they were faced with a repeating crossbow that could fire several arrows in a row, and after blocking a wave, before they could catch their breath, another wave of arrows rained down. This was really beyond their ability, and suddenly many sergeants screamed from the arrows.

When Zhou Xing saw this, he was also shocked, the thief actually had such a terrible weapon hole card! He did not dare to dwell on it any longer, and immediately ordered a retreat. But even if they retreated and faced the constant shooting of crossbow arrows, the formation of these officers and soldiers was still not scattered, and they retreated steadily.

The White Tiger Mountain bandits who saw this scene were also shocked, and the Kong brothers did not dare to pursue them again at the risk of losing their men and horses, but just let the crossbow pair release another round of arrows and force them back.

This sudden turn of events made the officers and soldiers under the mountain unable to react for a short time. The soldiers and horses of the B-shaped battalion have not had time to go up the mountain, but the people of the A-shaped battalion have already retreated a little embarrassed, and many of them are wounded, so it is obviously impossible to organize an attack on the mountain in a short time.

And in this way, the mountain road area that he had worked so hard to occupy before was also lost again, which made Feng Yu not know whether he should take people up the mountain again.

Fortunately, soon, Sun Tu had already sent people to give the order, only to let the B-shaped battalion guard at the foot of the mountain, and the soldiers and horses of the A-shaped battalion would first return to the barracks to recuperate and recuperate.

Zhou Xing was also hit by an arrow, but after he entered the camp, he didn't care about letting people pull out arrows for him to heal his injuries, but quickly knelt down in front of Sun Tu with a look of self-blame: "Prisoner, you are guilty of despicability." It was my greed for merit that caused more than 30 brothers to be killed by thieves...... "This time he was really heartbroken, before and after the two battles, the A-word battalion has suffered nearly 100 casualties, you must know that this battalion is more than 300 people."

Sun Tu didn't mean to blame him at this time, and when he heard this, he stepped forward and helped him up: "Commander Zhou doesn't have to be like this, the responsibility for today's loss is not yours." If you really want to investigate, it is also my Sun Tu's responsibility. It's because I underestimated these thieves, they still have crossbows and other offensive and defensive weapons, otherwise I'm afraid we would have been able to attack the mountain today. ”

The others were also furious, no one could have imagined that such a sharp weapon would appear in the hands of a group of bandits. You must know that the crossbow is a top secret in the army, not to mention the people, even if it cannot be found in the Xiang army, there will be some in the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty who are fighting against the Western Xia people, and then there will be such divine soldiers in the forbidden army.

"Metropolitan Prison ......" Zhou Xing wanted to say something, but was stopped by Sun Tu: "You have all done your best, and you are all meritorious." Now all you have to do is go down and heal and rest, and leave the rest to someone else. Seeing that he said this, Zhou Xing didn't say anything more, endured the pain and hugged his fists and saluted, and then retreated.

And Lin Chong's faces were also a little ugly at this time. If I had been on the mountain just now, I am afraid that I would have been injured. No wonder this White Tiger Mountain has been able to stand in Qingzhou for many years, and there is still something.

"Eunuch, what should we do next?" After being silent for a long time, Yang Zhi asked.

Sun Tu glanced at Qi Desheng and said, "It's still the same as before, focusing on consumption." Although this repeater is sharp, it also has its shortcomings, and as long as you grasp this, the threat is not too great. ”

"Yes, a repeater can fire a number of arrows in a row, but its single arrow is far less powerful than a normal crossbow, as long as we distance ourselves from them, it will not be a problem." Qi Desheng immediately answered: "Also, although this crossbow is powerful, it can consume more. He is just a cottage in Baihu Mountain, and how many arrows can he use. This time they just killed our army by surprise, and next time we have preparations, it will be different! ”

"That's right, let the B-shaped battalion slowly press forward in the afternoon, and block with more shields!" Sun Tu immediately gave a detailed tactic, anyway, it was just a word.

So, with the White Tiger Mountain hole cards out, a new round of battle started again, and this time the official army is more stable than before, it seems to be offensive, but it is completely defensive play, after an afternoon of the second battalion of B and C took turns to attack, not only consumed a large number of defensive weapons of the opponent, but also drove the army to the front of the other party's cottage, and it seemed that it could launch a frontal attack on the White Tiger Village.

In the evening, looking at the official and military formations close at hand, the Kong brothers were already desperate, and even began to have the idea of surrendering. Because by this time of the war, they were helpless, and there were few soldiers left in the village who could fight.

And on this night, at the foot of Baihu Mountain, in Qingzhou City, an uninvited guest came......
