Chapter 359: Flooding the Three Armies

Xiao Tianci stationed in Linxi Town only had more than 3,000 Royal Forest Army in his hands, and there were only less than 1,000 in the periphery, only 200 cavalry, Zhang Wei divided his army into several waves, each wave of 2,000 people, after attacking several times, the outer defense line was finally broken, and the remnants of hundreds of Royal Forest Army returned to the town in embarrassment, and the southern army that was tightly biting their tails followed and chased up, and the two armies began to fight in the streets.

The Imperial Forest Army was elite, well-armoured, and sharply armed, while the Southern Army was victorious in numbers, and although the losses were large, it still forced the Imperial Forest Army to retreat step by step. In the town, from time to time, small groups of Royal Guards were drilled out of some small alleys to join the battle group, so that the people who stood in front of the Southern army always remained in the hundreds, and they fought and retreated.

Hearing the return of the striker, Zhang Weiwei smiled and looked back left and right, "This General Xiao Tianci was born and famous, but he didn't expect it to be a silver-like wax spear head, which is useless, if he is ruthless, sacrifice his outer defenders, and release the water, he can eat my front army, but now the two armies are stuck in one place, and they have all rushed into the town, I want to see if he will release the water and drown himself." Now that he is using such a stupid tactic of adding fuel to the oil, what is the use of adding more credit to my military merit book? ”

An officer waiting on the left and right smiled and said: "That's natural, I heard that when Xiao Tianci was in the capital, he was defeated by one of Li Qing's guards, and even the phase was broken, but it was neither desirable nor useful, there is Deputy Chief Manager Zhang's opponent, Deputy General Manager Zhang, what should we do now?" Did the whole army rush to support the brothers in front of them? Take Linxi Town in one fell swoop? ”

Zhang Wei laughed, "Wait a minute, and then send three thousand people up to try." "Be careful, Zhang Wei experienced the previous big defeat, and now he is much calmer.

The number of southern troops in the town is increasing, and from time to time a large number of southern troops will drill out of some small alleys, cutting the Royal Forest Army into several pieces, and the casualties are getting bigger and bigger.

"General Xiao, the striker can't stand it." One of the Royal Forest officers shouted, standing in their position, just in time to see the fierce battle ahead.

"Fight and retreat, and then top, Zhang Wei hasn't come over yet." Xiao Tianci gritted his teeth and said.

"General, if you don't remove the striker, it'll be over!" The officer's words were filled with a crying voice, and his heart ached as he watched the brothers who had been with him fall one after another.

Glancing at his subordinates, Xiao Tianci suddenly pulled out the steel knife in his waist and said, "I'll block it for a while, and you stay here to answer." ”

The officer was shocked, "General, you are the master of an army, how can you leave at will, and the last general will go." ”

Xiao Tianci shook his head, "Your kung fu is not as good as mine, and you may not be able to come back if you go." I'll go, remember, when we retreat to a stone's throw from here, you immediately signal to the upper reaches and release the water. ”

"Yes!" The officer nodded.

"Kill!" Xiao Tianci raised the steel knife and rushed down with a few personal guards specially assigned to him by the Xiao family. As soon as they joined the battle group, they immediately stabbed dozens of Southern troops who rushed to the front, and for a while, they killed them back dozens of meters, and rescued a group of surrounded Imperial Forest Army. Seeing that the main general came to the rescue in person, the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army were greatly invigorated, and in the sound of wild cheers, they seemed to have inexhaustible strength, and they raised their swords and guns at the same time, and actually started a counterattack.

"Deputy General Zhang, the enemy general Xiao Tianci personally charged, has repelled our army, and now the other party is organizing a counteroffensive." Zhang Wei listened to the report and sneered: "Qian donkey skills are poor, give an order, the whole army will press me up and rush into the town, since Xiao Tianci wants to show his courage, then I will fulfill them." ”

Zhang Wei's whole army was pressed, Xiao Tianci suddenly couldn't resist, he and several guards personally broke off, and fought and retreated, step by step to the west of the town, and behind them, there was already a black pressure of the southern army with no end in sight, if it weren't for the narrow lanes in the town, they would be surrounded by heavy encirclement.

Xiao Tianci sweated and wore heavy clothes, his hands were a little soft, but he was secretly happy in his heart, there was only one main street in Linxi Town, and the rest were some extremely narrow alleys, and it was impossible for the troops to expand, but this single street was a very gentle uphill, walking on the street, I couldn't feel it at all, and after a few miles of streets, the difference between up and down was dozens of meters, before the water was stored, Xiao Tianci carefully calculated that as long as his side retreated to the vicinity of the temple in the west of the town, the water would rush down, and it would not drown himself. Zhang Wei thought that if he was glued to himself, he would not release water, but he was wrong.

After Xiao Tianci and a few people broke off, the southern army was unable to open the situation for a long time, Zhang Wei in the army couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, seeing that Xiao Tianci and a few people were like no one's land, and killed their front army one by one in front of the battle, he couldn't help but be so angry that he smoked, and yelled, "Get out of the way, let me clean them up." ”

The southern army squeezed together as much as possible, leaving a passage for Zhang Wei, who was riding on a horse, waved the cooked copper mace in his hand, roared and rushed over, and hit Xiao Tianci head-on, Xiao Tianci was fighting on foot, waving the steel knife in his hand, touching and dragging, wanting to make a decisive decision, unloading the opponent's strength, but he didn't want to fight fiercely for a long time, his strength was not as good as before, under this touch, the wrist shook violently, and the steel knife flew without a trace, Zhang Wei's wrought copper wedge swept over again, and he was about to knock Xiao Tianci down, A spear flew in the oblique thorn, when the sound blocked Zhang Wei, the other person was dancing with an iron rod, sweeping down Zhang Wei's horse's hooves, as long as the sweep was solid, Zhang Wei would plant the horse, in desperation, Zhang Wei could only ride the horse back, Xiao Tianci escaped by luck, and two people rushed out behind him, one grabbed him with an arm, and dragged him into the Imperial Forest Army, seeing Xiao Tianci escape from his hands, Zhang Wei couldn't help but smack his mouth regretfully.

Xiao Tianci, who was in a cold sweat on his head, looked back at Zhang Wei, who was riding on a horse and staring at him, with a hideous smile on the corner of his mouth, it was time, sure enough, behind the Royal Forest Army, a Ming Di rushed straight into the sky with a sharp whistle, flying far into the sky.

Hearing the sound of home is obviously a signal, Zhang Wei couldn't help but be stunned, what tricks does the other party play, is there anything that can't be ambushed, involuntarily looked back, this hope doesn't matter, Zhang Wei is frightened out of the sky, has been desperately supervising the battle forward, but never thought, at this time, when he turned around, he actually saw the other end of the town very clearly, what does this mean, this means that the position he is now in is much higher than the other end of the town, seeing his ant-like subordinates behind him, Zhang Dawei shouted in shock, "Retreat, Fall back. ”

The soldiers looked at the commander inexplicably, and when they were gaining the upper hand and were about to win a big victory, why should they retreat? Zhang Wei wanted to leave, but the narrow streets were full of his own soldiers, gambling tightly, but he could run there, and listening to the rumbling sound, Zhang Wei's face was like ashes.

The flood that has accumulated for a long time is like a pour, rushing and sweeping everything in front, the entire Linxi Town except for a very small area of the town's Xitou Mountain Temple, all of them were swept away by the flood, the thin walls could not stop the violent water flow at all, and they were destroyed and washed down like paper paste, and the tens of thousands of southern troops crowded in the town except for a very small part of the front army fled to the high ground, and a very small part of the rear army rushed out of the town and escaped, except for the rest of the people who were buried in the belly of the fish, and many people were hit by stones and wood in the river. Blood stained the water red.

The flood did not last long, but it was enough to wipe out Zhang Wei's Southern Army, and after the river, the whole town was unrecognizable, with more than a foot of mud covering the previous stone streets, some of the corners of the washed out walls, and dead bodies piled up on top of each other, both from the Southern Army and local residents.

Zhang Wei's face was pale, looking back at Linxi Town, which had become a hell in the Chengren world in an instant, his tens of thousands of troops had disappeared like this, and what was even more terrifying was that behind them, the Imperial Forest Army had been neatly arranged in horizontal formations, with bows and crossbows in unison, and were steadily aiming at them. At this time, there were less than 100 soldiers around him, and they were also looking at him with pale and desperate faces.

Xiao Tianci was very proud, although he took a big risk, did not hesitate to use his body as bait, and almost lost his life in the hands of Zhang Wei, but compared with the results achieved in front of him, it was quite worthwhile, looking at the desperate opponent, Xiao Tianci laughed, "Zhang Wei, do you still want to resist stubbornly, abandon your weapons and surrender, I will let you live." ”

Zhang Wei held the cooked copper gong in his hand tightly, his face was extremely ugly, from the big victory and defeat, almost in an instant, at this moment, he regretted it very much, he knew that this was the case, just let that Hu Ze come, why did he fall into a desperate situation, looking at the other party's dense bow and arrow shining with cold light, the last bit of resistance in Zhang Wei's heart also disappeared, fuck, anyway, Lao Tzu is a rebel to be this official, to King Ning, or to the court, what is the difference, the key is to save his life now is serious. Thinking of this, he took a few steps, threw away the cooked copper mace in his hand, and knelt down, "Zhang Wei is willing to surrender, General Xiao Xiao spares his life!" ”

With Zhang Wei taking the lead, more than 100 southern troops immediately threw away the weapons in their hands, knelt on the ground in the dark behind Zhang Wei, and shouted in a mess: "We are willing to surrender, General Xiao spares his life!" ”

Looking at Zhang Wei, who was kneeling in front of him, Xiao Tianci showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

Hearing Xiao Tianci's order, the crossbowmen almost subconsciously let go of the bowstring in their hands, and when Zhang Wei raised his head in amazement, there was already a rain of arrows in front of him, and in the scream, Zhang Wei, who was kneeling in the front, was almost shot into a hedgehog.

"Shoot the arrows and kill all these thieves for me!" Xiao Tianci said coldly.

The bows and crossbows continued to fire, and the more than a hundred soldiers who had laid down their weapons were already dead in an instant.
