Chapter 203: A good man who was forced to be a thief

When Xi Sheng gave an order, the two formations of soldiers under his command poured out, and the spears and knives gathered in one place, and went straight to Guan Sheng, Yang Zhi, Han Tao, and Peng Xi, who were unable to catch the momentum. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Guan Sheng's three strands of long hair flew, and after the prancing horse flew out for his comrades-in-arms, he slashed down and split a thief into two sections, splashing blood rain in the air, and the murderous Guan Sheng stood in the middle, and the thieves were so frightened that they didn't dare to move forward for a while.

"The strongmen of Bears Ears Mountain and Funiu Mountain are not fighting now, and they can't fight if they want to fight the formation?" Xiao Tang's expression was solemn, he waved his hand violently, and said categorically: "General Xuanzan!" General Hao Siwen led three battalions of men and horses to cover up the past!! ”

"Order!" Xuanzan and Hao Siwen led the order together, and the three battalions were transferred by Xiao Tang from the front command department of the Jingshi Palace and the guard infantry division, and the elite soldiers of the three battalions leaned forward with heavy infantry spears, and the school knife hand drew his sword and held the shield in his hand, while the crossbowman archer adjusted the bowstring, and the crisp sound of arrows on the treadmill came from the divine arm bow.

Guan Sheng saw that Xiao Tang was ready to lead the army to attack, so he chopped over another thief and shouted: "Yang Zhizhi! General Han! General Peng! Let's go back first!! ”

Yang Zhi responded here, the spear in his hand was like electricity, and there was blood splashing from time to time between the galloping horses, and his Yang family's marksmanship was displayed, and the spear in his hand was like a spiritual snake stabbing left and right, and after a while, he stabbed over seven or eight cavalrymen who rushed out of the thief array. And Yum General Han Tao relied on the jujube lance commonly used by the horse army when charging in his hand, and rampage among dozens of thieves, and after a while, he quickly rode his horse and retreated.

However, when Tianmu had just killed a cavalryman with the three-pointed two-edged knife in Peng Xi's hand, he did not guard against poking out two hooks from the thief formation and dragging the hooves of the war horse under his crotch. After Peng Xi was overturned and dismounted, the long knife in his hand was taken out of his hand, and he was tied up by seven or eight thieves who ran out of the enemy formation.

"Brother Peng Xi!!" Han Tao and Peng Xi are brothers who are the same and the same, seeing that he was captured alive, he was anxious to turn the horse back to rescue, but Yang Zhi also grabbed the reins and persuaded him: "The thief army is strong, wait for Lord Xiao to lead the army to fight!" General Peng was caught by thieves and couldn't be protected, and he wouldn't be hurt for a while! ”

Seeing that Xuanzan and Hao Siwen led the three battalions of officers and soldiers to come over step by step, and only more than 100 horsemen rushed out of the thief army formation to kill him, Han Tao sighed in annoyance, and retreated to the army formation with Guan Sheng and Yang Zhi.

When Guan Sheng and the others opened a certain distance from the thief army under Xi Sheng, Teng Huan, and Teng Huan, Xuan praised the order, and the archers in the three battalions all drew their bows and arrows, and the sound of a bowstring sounded, followed by the sound of layers of arrows breaking through the air, and rows of arrows were thrown out to smash down into the thief array! Among the thieves, there was no time to set up a shield to block, and more than 100 people were immediately hit by arrows and fell to the ground.

After several rounds of mutual firing and suppression, the two armies had collided fiercely, and the neighing of horses, the sound of sharp blades entering flesh, and the sound of miserable shouts and killing sounded alternately, and the battle was extremely tragic for a while.

Xiao Tang frowned and stared at the battle situation, the battalions he brought from Bianliang, Tokyo were no weaker and timid, less trained officers and soldiers under the command of Dengzhou, and they could be called several troops in the forbidden army of the Rongwei Jing Division, not to mention that the equipment was much stronger than the thieves who gathered in the mountains and forests, but for a while, it was difficult to distinguish the victory from the two mountain bandit armies led by Xi Sheng.

Xi Sheng is good at arranging formations, naturally not the mysterious gods in many classical novels, so that the enemy army has no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the ground, but he is well versed in the principle of mutual restraint in the formation, and through his exquisite deduction when facing the enemy, he can change the formation decisively and give full play to the power of the six flower arrays.

The structure of the Six Flower Array is hexagonal, which is very stable from the structural point of view, and the symmetry is reasonable in terms of deployment. Because it is evenly stressed on all sides, and can be used as combat units on both sides. Not only is the defense very solid, but the three phalanxes in front of the attack can be besieged together, so that the enemy can be attacked on the belly and back.

Although it is easy to say this, the actual training requires not only the soldiers to hear the drum and attack, but also to follow the changing orders. In grasping the situation on the battlefield, we must also know how to grasp the fleeting fighter plane.

"It seems that Xi Sheng does have some means...... Xiao Tang secretly admired, now he is already a fierce general who can charge and break the formation, but when it comes to arranging troops and anticipating the enemy's opportunities, can I be with those commanders who are good at commanding troops?

The formations usually used by the Great Song Dynasty army include phalanx, circle formation, Mu array, peony formation, Chong phalanx, Fuzhi array, wheel formation, and goose-shaped formation, which is called the eight formations of this dynasty, and many of the layouts and formations are also based on the formation strategy of Li Jing, the famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and that Xi Sheng is even more painstakingly studying Li Jing and Li Yaoshi's military strategy, with his current means of commanding the army, it is enough to improve the combat power of the thief army that is obviously weaker than the official army under Xiao Tang's command in terms of equipment and training, and it is difficult to separate from the official army.

Keep fighting? It will only be a lose-lose situation, and Xi Sheng over there thought about it: I have also heard that Xiao Renxia went to Jingxi Kaifu to set up a division, and Liu Min from Fangzhou also sent a message, saying that he wanted to level the green forest in western Beijing...... If I could, I really didn't want to be an enemy of such extravagant characters in the rivers and lakes, and even though I was an opponent now, I couldn't fight for the military strength of my cottage here......

Xiao Tang also had a general idea, after a tentative attack, he found that the officers and troops under his command did not have the strength to eat Xi Sheng's team, and now was not the time to fight him to the death. The commanders on both sides had their own general ideas, so they only fought for a while, and the official army and the two mountain bandit armies of Bear's Ears Mountain and Funiu Mountain withdrew their troops and slowly retreated......

After Xiao Tang's subordinates set up camp in a Zhuang town near Nanyang County, Dengzhou, Wang Yi, the commander of the Dengzhou Soldiers and Horses who was rescued by Dadao Guan Sheng, thanked Xiao Tang again and again, and kept apologizing.

Xiao Tang didn't criticize him too much, this Wang Yi was the Badu Eunuch under Tong Guan in the Water Margin, and he was originally a figure who gave people the experience of raising people's heads to the heroes of Liangshan. What's more, those who are hostile to him are in the book, Teng Hu and Teng Ji are the fierce generals in the "Five Tigers of the Jishan Army" under Wang Qing, Xi Sheng is a wise general who is good at arranging troops, plus Liu Yuan and Pan Zhong are both known as brave generals among thieves, how can he win with only one Wang Yi and some low-powered officers and soldiers?

When Xiao Tang ordered Junjian to escort Pan Zhong, who was captured by Guan Shengsheng, although Pan Zhong was tied with his hands, when he saw Xiao Tang, he stood up and did not kneel, he looked indignant, and said loudly with his neck twisted: "Xiao Renxia!" I've heard of your name, you are also a man with a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, why do you have to be a tiger and a dog for the government!? ”

"Presumptuous!" Yang Zhi angrily reprimanded Pan Zhong and said: "How dare you insult Lord Xiao if you are an anti-national grass coward!" ”

"It's okay, and he'll scold you." Xiao Tang smiled and signaled Yang Zhi not to worry, and said to Pan Zhong: "You are also a man, but why are you the thief who robs homes and deceives the good?" Why can't I stop you? ”

"I'm !!" Pan Zhong was even more furious when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he scolded angrily: "Lao Tzu, Brother Xi Sheng, and Brother Liu Yuan are also from military backgrounds, and they are used to seeing the behavior of dog officials who have lost their conscience swallowing military salaries and drinking soldiers' blood!" Conquer bandits? Fuck it! Where did the soldiers and bandits dare to step forward when they conscripted the cottage strongman, but they followed behind, running around, bluffing, and even killing the good and risking their merits! Lao Tzu brothers are men who stand up to the sky, how can they be affected by those birds who indiscriminately pollute and kill talents!? ”

It seems that this is also a man who was forced to be a thief, and since he was born in the official army, he must know a lot about the traitors and criminals in Dengzhou and other western Beijing states. Xiao Tang secretly thought, and when he was about to ask again, suddenly Jun Jian came to report that Yang Tai, the commander of the soldiers and horses on the Jingnan Road, had also led the army to Dazhai.

Yang Tai hurried into the handsome camp, and when he saw Xiao Tang, he sincerely bowed and said: "Yang is ashamed, but he bothered Lord Xiao to send troops to protect the peace of my Dengzhou side, but it was all because Yang was ineffective in supervising the army, causing thieves to breed, alas......"

Yang Tai apologized to Xiao Tang, but when he turned his head to look at Wang Yi, he changed his face again, and he scolded sharply: "It's like a cowardly husband like you, who mistook a major national event, so that he developed a thief." Today, you are a mourner and humiliate the country, and this official will teach you to take a look! ”

Wang Yi was reprimanded by Yang Tai and didn't dare to speak, and Pan Zhong was already stunned when he first saw Yang Tai, he gritted his teeth and hissed bitterly: "Yang Tai! You dog thief!! Greedy for the Mo army's salary and rations, killing good people and risking merit! and designed to frame my brother Xi Sheng!! But there is still face here to reverse black and white! Lao Tzu just wants to pick your skin and drink your blood!! ”

Yang Tai's face twitched suddenly, his eyes burst out with awe-inspiring murderous intent, seeing Pan Zhong scolding him for his ugly deeds in front of Xiao Tang, Yang Tai pointed at Pan Zhong and scolded: "You thief, kill good people, invite to rob business travelers, and create evil!" Now you dare to speak out and tarnish your official's reputation? Come on, drag this thief down and cut it down!! ”

"Lord Yang...... Whether this thief is beheaded or imprisoned, it should be the official's final say, right? Xiao Tang's face had gradually sunk, and the generals in the camp, such as Guan Sheng, Hua Rong, Yang Zhi, and Han Tao, looked at Yang Tai with more disdain.

Yang Tai was covered with cold sweat, and he reported to Xiao Tang in fear: "Pacify the envoy, you must not believe the words of this thief, this strong man is cunning and despicable, and he actually slanders and slanders his own official......"

Your acting skills are a little worse, right? Who in the audience can't see that you, Yang Tai, are trying to cover up? Xiao Tang sneered in his heart, but said in his mouth: "If Lord Yang is doing the right thing, why should he care about other people's slander? This Pan Zhong can't be killed now, when I was fighting with the thieves in Bear's Ears Mountain and Funiu Mountain, General Peng Xi under his command was captured by thieves, and he was about to exchange with that Xi Sheng. ”

Yang Tai wanted to speak and stopped, thinking that since this was the case, he would only anger the generals under Xiao Tang's command if he said that he wanted to kill this thief who killed a thousand knives. He gritted his teeth fiercely, and glared at Pan Zhong with resentment in his eyes.

Pan Zhong gasped, and a pair of tricks also glared at Yang Tai fiercely, he raised his head again, and shouted to Xiao Tang: "Xiao Renxia, you are ten million times stronger than this dog thief!" After I change the general under you, we will fight! Even if you die at your hands, I, Pan Zhong, will admit it! ”

"First Hugh said that the matter of life and death fighting, this official has one thing to trust." Xiao Tang smiled slightly, and said to Pan Zhong: "When you return to Bears Ears Mountain, I will inform your big boss that I will say that I, Xiao Tang, want to see him." ”
