Chapter 345: Smoke

Wu Shixiong made a thousand calculations and miscalculated one thing. He didn't expect www.biquge.info Chu army to dare to go out of the city to face the battle. You must know that there are only more than 6,000 defenders in the entire Jiaodong City, and half of them are still the Shuntian army with weak combat effectiveness. Yes, in Wu Shixiong's mind, the Shuntian army was weak, far inferior to the army under his command. With such a force, even if it is a city to defend it, it is slightly insufficient, and it is conceivable that people who can go to the city to fight can be swayed with reserves.

Using the thick smoke that covers the sky and the sun, launching an all-round siege, and then waiting for the opportunity to adjust the focus of the attack according to the opponent's reaction, this is Wu Shixiong's wishful thinking, but Jiang Tao's reaction greatly surprised him.

Is chaos against chaos? But do you still have a numerical advantage? After the initial surprise, Wu Shixiong became happy, then kill, in this situation, the ability that everyone can exert is almost the same!

However, the development of the battle situation greatly surprised Wu Shixiong, the enemies opposite him were all soldiers who had been transferred from the eastern border army by Cheng Wuben and experienced in a hundred battles, and they were once the most elite group of people in Cheng Wuben's battle to confront the Qi people, and they were the descendants of Cheng Wuben's lineage, and the strength of the enemy they faced and the complexity of the battle situation were many more than they are now.

After all, Wu Shixiong is only a county general, and he has not fought too many tough battles, and one thing he didn't expect is that the more complicated the situation, the more exquisite the soldier's adaptability and adaptability.

Unfortunately, the enemy opposite him was precisely these extremely capable troops, which were the most basic quality of a strong army.

The Chu troops who went out of the city were next to each other, lined up in a large circle, three layers inside and three layers outside, and the commander Cheng Wenjie was in the middle, and the officers were equipped with one or even several drummers around them, who relied on the change of drum rhythm to adjust their tactics in a timely manner.

This person's circle array stood still, but whenever he touched the Wu Department of this round array, it was shattered in an instant. This is like a bottomless pit, devouring the Wu soldiers in a steady stream.

In front of Wu Bu, the enemy was like a hard reef, allowing them to beat wildly with these tides, but they found nothing but a loud sound.

A soldier dressed in Wu was ghostly wandering across the battlefield, in the midst of the chaos of Wu, and no one noticed that this person was wandering through the ranks.

Jia Xin, an assassin with a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes. He is the leader of a mysterious unit formed by Cheng Wuben in the Eastern Frontier Army, and his martial arts are not particularly good, only rank eight, but he is the most experienced assassin and killer. Camouflage, concealment, assassination, is their forte, in the eastern border army, they are a force that makes Qi also have a headache, their identity is mysterious, and does not exist on the bright side, there is no way to find their information, even the ghost of Qi State for this army, there is only a scale and half a claw of cognition, and these, only after killing these people can you get some scattered news.

The reason why it is said to be killed rather than captured is that in the decades since the formation of this unit, not a single one has been captured alive, and either they have escaped or died.

Jiang Tao is Cheng Wuben's confidant and favorite general, this time Lai Baoqing is even more responsible, Cheng Wuben transferred Jia Xin to Jiang Tao's side to protect him closely, with Jia Xin here, basically there is no play in assassinating or something.

After Jia Xin left the city, he was not with the large army of the Chu army, but soon mixed into the ranks of the rebels in the thick smoke, killed a rebel silently, took off his clothes, put them on himself, and mixed in the opponent's team, looking for the opponent's supreme commander, Wu Shixiong.

Unlike the Chu army commanding the army with drums, Wu Shixiong's team basically relied on shouting at the top of their voices, for a troop, ordinary soldiers are easy to train, but a qualified drummer is not so easy to cultivate, a drummer on the battlefield as long as he knocks a wrong node, it will bring a devastating disaster. Without several years of training, he would not dare to set foot on the battlefield at all, and on the battlefield, even a qualified drummer in training may make mistakes due to nervousness. And on the battlefield, such drummers are the target of the opponent's key killing, and after a battle, if you don't do it well, you will lose several drummers who have been carefully cultivated.

It was precisely because it was too difficult for a drummer to raise a drummer, and the goal on the battlefield was also large, so the death battalion abandoned this tradition and switched to bamboo whistles. The training is just as difficult, but the goal is much smaller.

After swimming half a circle, Jia Xin soon heard Wu Shixiong's angry roar from the thick fog, and he was urging his soldiers to launch wave after wave of attacks.

Following the sound, in the thick smoke, the first thing that caught his eye was a huge thing, Jia Xin slowly approached, and found that it was actually a coffin, and Wu Shixiong was standing on the side of the coffin. In front of him, several generals were scolded by him so that they couldn't raise their heads, in the thick smoke, the battle had been almost half an hour, they were still firmly pressed about a hundred meters outside the city, and the outline of Jiaodong City appeared and disappeared in the smoke, but the Chu army was like a huge grinding plate, constantly grinding away their flesh and blood.

"Attack, attack, attack at all costs, the Chu people are also people, and they only have one head, if they are cut down with a knife, they will still bleed and die." Wu Shixiong shouted frantically, waving the big knife in his hand, "Don't mention any casualties to me, look back, General Wu is watching you." ”

"General, if we don't count the casualties, even if we defeat the Chu army and take Jiaodong City, what can we do? Do we still have the strength to fight Morro? A general shouted angrily, "General, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" ”

When Wu Shixiong heard this, he didn't laugh angrily, as if he was crazy, "Hahaha, Qingshan is long gone, there is still firewood there, what are you afraid of if you run out, if we run out, they will feel good?" Mo Luo, Mo Luo, even if Lao Tzu dies, he will not let you have a good time. Hahaha, you know, the Taiping Army has always been behind us, Lao Tzu has fought out the helpers of Mo Luo, a mongrel, and when the Taiping Army comes, can Mo Luo still have a way to live, hahaha, if you kill my boss, I will destroy everything you have. ”

Seeing the crazy Wu Shixiong, many generals turned pale one by one, they really didn't expect that their leaders never thought about winning from beginning to end, but just wanted to use these tens of thousands of people as consumables and become a stepping stone to the success of the Taiping Army.

"General!"

"Don't say it, I've made up my mind, this is the battlefield, either you die or I die, General Wu is looking to see if we can avenge him!" He's staring at us from the coffin! As soon as he grasped the corner of the coffin, he lifted it violently, and the coffin lid flew away, and he pressed one end of the coffin with both hands, and the coffin was half upright. Inside the coffin, Wu Xin, who was wearing armor, had a pale face, and a pair of big godless eyes were staring ahead.

Jia Xin's footsteps were wrong, he had already reached the back of the coffin, his wrist shook slightly, and a very thin sword appeared in his hand, and his whole body was almost completely attached to the coffin, slowly raising his hand, and the thin sword silently passed through the crack of the coffin, and slowly poked out of the coffin.

Inch by inch, minute by minute, suddenly accelerated, and with a bang, the half-foot-long thin sword suddenly poked out completely from the coffin, and accurately pierced through Wu Shixiong's soft flank.

Wu Shixiong's roaring voice suddenly froze, and he turned back in disbelief with difficulty, looking at the thin sword that poked out of the coffin.

And a group of generals facing Wu Shixiong were even more dumbfounded, from their point of view, it seemed that Wu Xin suddenly pulled out a sword from the coffin, and a sword was inserted into Wu Shixiong's waist.

"General Wu!" One of the generals screamed loudly, his legs weakened, and he actually fell to his knees with a bang.

Jia Xin is a great expert in killing, and even if Wu Shixiong's martial arts cultivation is outstanding, he just glanced back, and without even saying a word, he fell down heavily.

Wu Shixiong covered his attack with thick smoke covering the sky and the sun, but he never thought that the chaos caused by it became the most fatal reason for burying himself, if it was a hard fight of the chariot and horse, Jia Xin would be ten times more powerful, and it would be impossible to get close to Wu Shixiong who was in the midst of thousands of troops, even if he was close, it was impossible not to arouse Wu Shixiong's vigilance, with Wu Shixiong's cultivation, if he could not succeed in one blow, it would be impossible to have a second chance.

"Wu Shixiong let us die in vain, such a person, what else do we want him to do!" With a successful blow, Jia Xin's thin sword was gone, he pinched his throat and roared, his body suddenly retreated, and disappeared into the smoke in an instant.

As soon as Jia Xin left, the coffin suddenly fell to the ground, several rebel generals, you look at me, I look at you, and then look at Wu Xin in the coffin, Wu Shixiong, who was lying on the side and the blood was slowly flowing, looked at each other for a moment, suddenly nodded at the same time, turned around, and ran into the thick fog.

A moment later, the rebels retreated like a tidal wave, and the roar of retreating soldiers rang out everywhere. In the thick smoke, Cheng Wenjie couldn't figure out the situation for a while, worried that this was the other party's conspiracy, and he didn't give an order to pursue for a while.

The Chu army stood still in place, keeping on guard, but the smoke drifting from the opposite side was getting thinner and thinner, and the vision gradually became clearer, and the first thing that caught his eye was the huge coffin.

And the rebels, at the moment, have only left them with a back. (To be continued.) )
