Seizing the last bit of time, Zhang Xuan made some detailed adjustments, such as some teams had too many archers, so they exchanged with the swordsmen and spearmen in other teams.

For example, spearmen are to concentrate to form a dense array of spears, and for swordmen, they are required to each hold their own saddle, which temporarily serves as a shield.

These detailed adjustments can tap the combat effectiveness to the greatest extent.

In fact, Zhang Xuan has no bottom in his heart, these businessmen are different from the children of Yangjiazhuang, the children of Yangjiazhuang have more or less military training, and these businessmen have not received any training at all, once faced with a bloody scene, how many people can hold on?

On the other side, Chai Shaozheng and Li Shentong discussed in a low voice, Li Shentong was full of praise for Zhang Xuan's command ability, and he was able to organize a plate of scattered businessmen in an orderly manner in just half an hour, even the famous generals of the ancient times may not be able to do it.

"No wonder the master wants to pull him into Wuchuan Mansion, he is indeed a rare talent."

Li Shentong said with emotion: "Not only has courage, but also has great courage and commanding ability, if I can escape the catastrophe this time, I must strongly recommend him to my brother, if such a talent is let go by my brother in vain, it is a pity." ”

Chai Shao smiled bitterly and said, "Second Uncle will praise him later!" Now it's just a shelf built out, and I don't know if it works. ”

"You can't say that, even if you fail, it has nothing to do with him, these are all businessmen, let them fight with horse thieves, just like let sheep fight wolves, Zhang Xuan can organize this group of cowardly businessmen, which is remarkable in itself."

As soon as Li Shen's voice fell, a scream came from not far away, and a guy who was guarding on a high place did not hide well, and was shot in the head by an arrow and rolled down from the boulder.

This scream was like a signal of war, and people on all sides shouted, "Here they are, here they are!" ”

I saw a group of black horse thieves appear dozens of steps away, killing from three directions towards the center, the merchants shouted in fear, dozens of archers did not even see the target and released arrows indiscriminately, but exposed themselves, a series of screams sounded, five or six archers were shot by cold arrows, fell to the ground, and immediately caused a commotion.

"Don't panic!"

Zhang Xuan hid at the entrance of the mausoleum and shouted, he was condescending, the situation around him could be seen clearly, the black horse thieves were well-trained, and they were not in a hurry to attack, but approached the central mausoleum step by step.

"Everyone, hold steady, don't mess up, they don't ride horses, they won't assault!"

Jang Hyun's voice reached everyone's ears, and they gradually calmed down, and the archers stopped shooting blindly, and the senseless casualties disappeared immediately.

At this time, a cold arrow shot at Zhang Xuan's hiding place, Zhang Xuan flashed, and the cold arrow grazed his face, 'Dang! With a bang, the arrow landed at the bluestone and landed at his feet.

Zhang Xuan was furious, put down his spear, held his longbow, pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind him, opened his bow and set up an arrow, aimed at the horse thief who had just shot the arrow, and as soon as the string was loosened, the long arrow shot like lightning.

Although he did not have enough fire, there was no problem with the bow, and the arrow hit the thief in the chest, and the force was so great that it pierced through the leather armor, and the thief screamed and fell from a large rock.

Liang Shidu was so hateful that he smashed his fist on the stone pillar, and shouted: "Attack!" ”

'Boom! Boom! Boom! The drums of the black horse thief's attack sounded.

Two hundred black horse thieves rushed out of their hideouts and rushed towards the entrance dozens of paces away with a shout, and Jang Xuan shouted: "Spearmen resist, archers shoot from behind!" ”

The merchants also shouted loudly, and many closed their eyes and raised their spears to stab at the black horse thieves who rushed forward, and the bloody battle began in an instant.

The horse thieves were clearly a well-trained elite army, all fearless of death, and the attack was very disciplined, with dozens of horse thieves with heavy shields and spears rushing in front, behind them spearmen without shields, and dozens of archers hiding behind boulders, casting cold arrows at the flawed merchants.

In a matter of moments, more than two dozen merchants were stabbed and shot to death, and the blood mist was filled with a mist of blood, and screams resounded through the stone forest, but their makeshift fortifications saved the situation and prevented the horse thieves from successfully entering the forest.

Zhang Xuan saw the tactics of the horse thieves, they attacked from three directions, but the west and north were false attacks, only more than 30 people, but they threw hundreds of people at the south entrance, where was their breakthrough, seeing that the south entrance was killed and wounded, and gradually could not support it, Zhang Xuan shouted: "Lao Cheng, you quickly go to support the south!" ”

But no one agreed, and when Zhang Xuan turned around, he saw Cheng biting Jin swinging an axe and slashing at the north entrance, yelling, his eyes were red, where could he hear his order.

Zhang Xuan scolded secretly, waved his hand and shouted to the two mobile teams: "Follow me!" ”

He led sixty fresh troops to the south entrance, which was about a foot wide, and piled up a dozen large boxes full of porcelain, but the wooden boxes had been split, and a large amount of porcelain poured out of the boxes, trampled into pieces, and the wooden boxes were also cut into wooden strips, and a dozen large boxes had lost their hindering effect, and the two armies fought hard at this wide entrance.

Nearly half of the original sixty or so merchants had been killed, and the corpses were piled up and the blood was flowing like a river, at this time, a businessman was cut open with a knife, and his brain was splashed, and several merchants around him were so frightened that they desperately retreated, seeing that the defensive line was about to collapse.

At this critical moment, Zhang Xuan shouted and took the lead in rushing into the battlefield, and the spear in his hand poured ten thousand forces into the chest of a horse thief, and the horse thief screamed and fell backwards, but the spear was embedded in his body and could not be pulled out for a while.

Zhang Xuan simply threw away the spear, pulled out his war knife and slashed away, the knife was like thunder and lightning, 'Click! Several spear shafts were split, Zhang Xuan turned around like a whirlwind and slashed again, three human heads flew up, blood splashed in the neck cavity, Zhang Xuan's face was hot, the smell of fish was on his face, and he couldn't open his eyes.

He only felt a pain in his back, he was slashed in the back with a knife, two layers of leather armor were chopped, Zhang Xuan roared in pain, turned around and kicked the head of the sneak attacker, jumped towards the enemy group, clamped a dozen spears that stabbed at him with his armpit, and slashed and stabbed with the war knife in his hand.

Under the leadership of Zhang Xuan, the merchants doubled their courage and rushed up together to fight the horse thieves, gradually reversing the collapse of the situation, and the horse thieves became a mess, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, Liang Shidu finally felt a little distressed, his subordinates were loyal to him, training was not easy, everyone was a valuable resource, and it was not at all that these lowly businessmen could compensate.

His men gave up the superior cavalry battle and the merchants fought in a scuffle, suffering heavy casualties, far beyond his own bearing, he had to consider another method of attack, Liang Shi saw that it was getting late, so he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Collect the troops!" ”

'When! While! While! ’

The gong sounded to collect the troops, and the horse thieves retreated one after another, quickly withdrawing from the Xuansha Tomb.

The bloody battle finally came to an end, the merchants suffered heavy casualties, more than 70 were killed, nearly 100 were wounded, and more than 30 horse thieves were killed, mutilated corpses everywhere, and the mausoleum was surrounded by a pungent smell of blood.

Thankfully, however, the horse thieves did not break through the gap, and the cattle were not frightened and confused, and there were weeping all around the mausoleum, weeping for their dead companions and mourning for their fate.

Zhang Xuan sat on a boulder, took off his leather armor, revealing the wound on his back, Cheng Biting Jin Zheng carefully helped him deal with it, he could still fight with the enemy under the injury, he knew that he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, but only the flesh and skin wounds, which made him slightly relieved.

But another kind of pain was silently tormenting him, which was the consequence of his forcible practice of Zhang Zhongjian's martial arts, although he did not prepare medicine, but after leaving the capital, he couldn't help but start practicing Zhang Zhongjian's martial arts, including qi induction, qi training, and strength training.

There has been nothing abnormal these days, but after a fierce battle today, he felt an indescribable discomfort between his chest and abdomen, as if a force was about to break out of the cocoon, but it was forcibly suppressed, making him feel sick and nauseated, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy.

He knew in his heart that he must use medicine to match this kind of practice caused by his improper practice of Zhang Zhongjian's martial arts, but because he didn't have the most critical medicine, he didn't dare to take those pills in his bag.

Cheng Yanjin didn't notice the subtle changes in Zhang Xuan's body, he medicated Zhang Xuan's wound, pasted it with a plaster, and kept babbling in his mouth.

"I said that these businessmen really can't see it, I thought they were all fat sheep, but they really have to fight, all of them don't want to die, they are all good men, Lao Cheng will not laugh at them anymore."

Zhang Xuan couldn't restrain himself any longer, stood up and smiled reluctantly: "You're not bad, although you left your post without permission, but I don't plan to punish you, you guarded the north entrance, and I will reward you with another component." ”

Cheng Yanjin was unexpectedly not ecstatic, but said with a wry smile: "Let's save my life first!" ”

Jang Hyun patted him on the shoulder, walked quickly to a no-man's land, bent down violently, and vomited violently.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Xuan felt a little better, his face was very pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, he stabilized his mind and slowly walked towards the south entrance.

The southern entrance to the mausoleum was the worst part of the bloody battle, where nearly 70 people died on both sides, and most of the more than 30 black horse thieves were killed here.

At this time, Li Shentong was leading a few of his subordinates to bandage the wounds of the wounded, he saw Zhang Xuan coming, and hurriedly greeted him, seeing Zhang Xuan's pale face, he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Childe's complexion is not very good, is the injury serious?" ”

"A little flesh wound, it's okay."

Zhang Xuanqiang held back the dizziness in front of him and said with a smile: "It's just a little blood loss, just take a break." ”

Li Shentong helped Zhang Xuan sit down and said sincerely: "All of us hope that Gongzi is fine, as long as Gongzi is okay, we have hope of living." ”

"Don't worry! I'm fine. ”

Li Shentong looked back into the distance again, and he asked worriedly, "Does Childe think that the black horse thieves will still attack?" ”

Zhang Xuan nodded lightly, "That's certain, they have killed so many people, if they don't kill us all, how can they swallow this evil breath, they will definitely come, but they will change the way." ”

Jang Hyun looked at the twilight night sky and muttered, "If I'm not mistaken, they will use the means of night attack." ”

Li Shentong was taken aback, "If it's a night attack, then how should we deal with it?" ”

Zhang Xuan laughed, "Actually, I hope that they will use the means of night attack, and we may be a little worse in fighting bravery, but in fighting wits, we may not lose to each other." ”

"Does Childe already have a plan?"

In the night, Zhang Xuan stared at a tall stone pillar next to the south entrance, and said with a faint smile: "Using the night to deal with sneak enemies happens to be my specialty. ”
