Xu Sheng looked around and found that the riot in the circle had almost been cleared.

Although the Assassin's surprise attack was sudden, Wang Yu's guards also seemed to have been prepared, and two or three of them formed a formation to support each other, although they were outnumbered, but they did not die in a single battle.

Zhao Yun's side was even more exaggerated, and the thieves seemed to know his identity and power, so they divided fifteen people to besiege him! Not only did they attack him, but there were also people attacking Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to distract Zhao Yun.

This was an unusually powerful killing formation, and Xu Sheng once thought that Zhao Yun was entangled, and he might even hate it. After all, Zhang Min brought all the best figures among the pirates, with his own martial arts, he can't defeat four with one, although Zhao Yun's martial arts are high, but he has to protect people and kill the enemy, I'm afraid it's very difficult, right?

The situation was critical, Xu Sheng just glanced at it, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Zhao Yun. When Wang Yu began to go crazy, he took a look and was stunned to find that the fifteen bandits who besieged Zhao Yun had all been covered with corpses. At this moment, Zhao Yun handed Pang Tong and the others over for protection, and he was wielding a gun to hunt down the other assassins.

Similar to Wang Yu on the other side, who was wielding colorful light and slashing one by one, Zhao Yun's opponent did not survive a single face. In order not to arouse Wang Yu's vigilance, there were only about fifty bandits who mixed in, and they were killed by these two fierce gods once, and they were immediately defeated.

Marveling at the martial arts of the real battlefield warriors, lamenting the arrogance that he used to sit in the well and watch the sky, and feeling the atmosphere of the battlefield, Xu Sheng still had worries in his heart.

The tide has reversed, but not completely.

The impermanence of soldiers, the impermanence of water, and the reason why people are intoxicated on the battlefield is that this uncertainty brings anticipation. and a sense of accomplishment after success.

Seeing that now, Xu Sheng has already understood Wang Yu's strategic concept, which is very simple, that is, to use his body as a bait to lure the bandits from the valley where they can be attacked and retreated, and then gather and annihilate them, and pacify the Langya Kingdom in one fell swoop.

I know the purpose, but there are still a lot of things I don't understand.

It's bold to be a bait, but what about anything else? Since ancient times. In a battle between the two armies on the battlefield, it is rare for one side to die in battle, resulting in the final defeat.

In the Battle of Gaotang, the Huns were completely annihilated, but in fact. Far away, when their casualties were only about a third, Hu Qi had already collapsed, but he was surrounded and could not escape. At that time, if Wang Yu ordered surrender, he would have been able to capture at least more than 10,000 prisoners.

How much casualty ratio can be sustained before it collapses is one of the important criteria for judging whether the army is elite or not.

Generally speaking, as long as the situation is bad enough to be a certain point. Pessimism will begin to spread, and soon the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change, and then despair. And when the will of millions of people is infected by the emotion of despair, the will of the individual. No matter how powerful this person is, it will not help in this case.

Conversely, this principle can actually be used as well.

Wang Yu succeeded in luring the enemy. The bandits have indeed been killed.

The problem is, these bandits are not the ones who were just intimidated by the momentum of the Iron Horse. The cringe-cating thief, but the mad thief with high morale, one might even say in a state of frenzy. In a terrain like a river valley that is completely unfavorable to cavalry, is it a bit too reluctant to be outnumbered and face an opponent whose morale is soaring wildly?

"Kill! Kill all the people of Qingzhou! Wang Peng fell for Lao Tzu's clever plan, if he doesn't die, he is seriously injured, there is nothing to be afraid of, kill! "Chang Feng has indeed gone crazy, this kind of red-eyed sword roaring, leading the crowd to charge, has happened to several other leaders of the Taishan Zhongkou, but he, a person who has always been known for his gloom, could not do this.

Sinister is disgusting, but it is also terrifying, like a poisonous snake, which is the most terrifying when it is coiled around its body. Chang Feng does not have Zang Ba's superior martial arts, and his family background is not as good as many leaders from Haoqiang, so he can be famous among the thieves in Taishan and occupy a top position, relying on his yin and ruthlessness!

But at this moment, the emotions that had been suppressed suddenly vented, and even he couldn't maintain his consistent style and image. At this moment, only winning this battle, annihilating the Qingzhou army, and getting Wang Yu's head is the most important thing!

In fact, what Chang Feng robbed was not Zang Ba's errand, but Sun Guan's. The latter is the vanguard of the Taishan group, and every time he fights, he is indispensable to charge forward, waving his sword and shouting wildly.

But now that he only has one arm left, his image is not as powerful as before, and it is a little overwhelming to say anything about charging forward and boosting morale.

Despite this, he had no intention of being discouraged, and silently rushed to the forefront with his knife, his eyes were red and murderous. No one will doubt his fighting spirit and determination to fight for his life!

Even Wu Dun, who was not very bold and always took the protection of his self as a wise man, also joined the charge.

The courage of the Qingzhou army to sing frightened him so much that his legs did not stop trembling until the Assassins' cheers rang out, telling him that the plan had been successful.

has lost such a big face, and at this moment, he is not in a mood of annoyance and anger. If you can't vent your face in the battle against the water dogs, how can you get your thoughts out? How can I become a Buddha in the future?

Madness is also contagious, and the effect is the same as despair. Encouraged by the leaders and stimulated by the news of Wang Yu's death, the more than 5,000 thieves all went crazy.

At this moment, the combat power they burst out was definitely more than twice as much as usual, or even more!

"It really worked! Xuan Gao, didn't you mean...... Alas, what a pity! Yin Li's face was pale, and he began to regret it in his heart, he knew that this was the case, and he should have gone for a piece of the pie, even if it was very small......

It's a pity that it's too late now, he and Zang Ba's subordinates have already been handed over, and they are still standing on the other side of the river valley, looking at each other across the Yishui. Even if you find the boat yourself and rush over, it will definitely be too late, under the full impact of more than 5,000 bandits, 500 cavalry who can't run up is not just a piece of cake?

"It's not even close." Zang Ba replied with a sneer.

"How?" Yin Li was stunned.

"What do you think of the Qingzhou Army's formation? Is there chaos? Zang Ba pointed to the riverside.

After the Qingzhou army dismounted, they draped a thick felt blanket on the horse, which served as a shield and formed a circle. It was precisely because of this circular formation that the Tarzan thieves gave up the harassing long-range attack and hurriedly dispatched the horse rejection array to block it.

After the attack. Not only did this circle not spread out in a disorderly manner, but some adjustments were made. The horse wall has become two-tiered, the formation has become tighter, and most importantly, no one rushes to the center of the circle to rescue, and all the adjustments are aimed at the bandits who are attacking in a big way! And all the adjustments, it happened in the case of the flag being dumped!

"You mean...... Qingzhou people have been prepared? But how is this possible? "Chang Feng and the others are in the bureau and don't know it, but Yin Li is a bystander. was mentioned by Zang Ba like this, and he immediately saw the doorway, and then came to a conclusion that surprised him.

"Nothing is impossible." Zang Ba said indifferently: "In the Hebei War in the second year of Zhongping, Yuan Shao's soldiers were strong and strong, with grain and grass equipment. There are many allies, and Gongsun Chan was successfully hit hard in the first battle...... Who would have thought that just nine months later, he would be at the end of his rope and scolded to death in a small county town? ”

Yin Li couldn't answer.

Didn't you participate in that big war yourself? If not. How could they be so desolate now? Xuzhou is in such a mess, they can get a piece of the pie!

"Without a collar beyond the imagination of ordinary people, Wang Yu would not have achieved such an achievement today." Zang Ba sighed with emotion: "Actually, I should have understood a long time ago." If he had come to appease me after he entered Qingzhou, I wouldn't have been so greedy, maybe ......"

Yin Li remained silent. But in my mind, I unconsciously followed Zang Ba's assumption and thought about it, yes. What a beautiful scene you have ever missed? Even if you can't be included in the list of the five generals, it won't be worse than the current open jaw, right?

It's a pity that it's too late to say anything.

The grievances between the two families are too deep, even if they adapt to the situation and demote Wang Yu, I am afraid they can only consider the question of whether they can save their lives. The previous ambitions have come to naught, and he can accept it as a wasted person, but can the arrogant Zang Xuangao accept it? Apparently not.

"Wind!"

The Qingzhou army began to attack, and the archers pulled their bowstrings and played the beat of death. The front row shoots horizontally, the back row curves the shot, with a dazzling light, a rain of arrows falls into the surging crowd, stirring up waves and flowers, blooming with blood-colored light.

In normal times, such an attack was enough to make half of the bandits hesitate, slow down the pace of the charge, and use the bodies of their companions as cover before they dared to continue the charge, but slowed down the overall attack.

Now, however, the fanatical bandits ignore the pain and death, and run for their lives in the face of the Qingzhou Army's extremely lethal and efficient long-range attacks.

Yin Li's intuition told him that this battle, the bandits would win. But Zang Ba's words kept echoing in his ears, making his mind a mess.

He shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off the thoughts that were pouring in, and then suddenly asked, "Xuan Gao, what do you seem to have planned?" ”

"There is indeed a ......" Zang Ba replied calmly: "Someone sent me a letter before, asking me to contain the Qingzhou army in Langya as much as possible...... It's just a pity that I failed. ”

said it was a pity, but Yin Li heard it clearly, and there was a sense of relief in Zang Ba's tone. After thinking about it, he quickly understood. The best way to contain the Qingzhou Army is not a decisive battle, but to rely on the old line of bandits to conduct guerrilla warfare.

Zang Ba's previous opposition to blocking Wang Yu was motivated by this consideration.

As a result, Sun Guan turned his face first, Chang Feng watched, and Zang Ba's plan failed. But on the other hand, this kind of crime can be regarded as a non-war crime, and in a sense, Zang Ba also pushed the boat along the river and completed a very bold plan. Although it is very likely that he will fail, there are many people who lose to Wang Yu, what's the big deal?

In this way, Zang Ba is relieved, he doesn't need to continue to deal with Wang Yu, he can use this result to make a difference, even if he can't get the reward of the marquis, he can get a chance to lead the army, right?

Sure enough, it's a great blessing in the midst of misfortune.

As he spoke, the bandits' team finally rushed to the front of the circle, like a monstrous wave crashing on the reef, stirring up blood in the sky.
