In the early morning, Fang Zhiwen asked the owner of the boat to send them across the east side of the lake, and boarded the east shore of the lake at an unknown small pier opposite, and a team of horsemen rushed to the east in the morning light on the horizon.

However, Fang Zhiwen still underestimated the determination and ability of the pursuing soldiers, because there are many rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, sometimes they are obviously on the other side of the river, but they have to make a long detour, and the speed of the cavalry is naturally not fast, and Fang Zhiwen also understands that the speed of the cavalry running on land is definitely not able to catch up with the speed of the troop carriers in the river.

Therefore, Fang Zhiwen led the cavalry slightly south away from the river bank, just to prevent the other party from transporting the blocking troops to his front in time to ambush himself, but there was one thing that Fang Zhiwen could not avoid, that is, the player took the carriage of the system post station, went directly to the city to buy troops and recruit troops, and then formed a jumping pursuit tactic.

So just after noon, Fang Zhiwen and his entourage were intercepted not far east of Pengze, the battlefield chosen by the other party was very ingenious, the left is the river fork, the right is the wheat field, less than two miles wide, and then to the south is a small hill, no more than thirty or fifty zhang high, the intercepted troops add up to less than five thousand people, the road in front is blocked by the pikeman array, a little later is the crossbow array, there is also a crossbow array on the other side of the river on the left, the number is not much, three or five hundred people, across the wheat field on the right, there are about two thousand crossbowmen, standing close to the hillside, Obviously, it is still out of range, and as for why it is necessary to stand across the wheat field, it is because the wheat field has become a paddy field at the moment.

Fang Zhiwen stayed on the horse and looked at it for a while, this battlefield was quite well prepared, the enemy made full use of the terrain, dug several trenches on the road, and let the water in the river pour into the wheat field on the right side, forming a muddy field, which was not conducive to the horses running, and played the role of trapping the horses. Although the river on the left is not wide, but the horses can't jump over, if you want to pass here, there is only one way, rush into the watered wheat field, bypass the horse pit, and then rush into the thick pikemen on the road, look at this posture, it is not like a decisive battle, the other party's purpose is to block the road.

Fang Zhiwen sat quietly on horseback, frowning slightly, of course he was not worried about the battle in front of him, although the speed of these players was very fast, the intelligence was very accurate, the playing style was also very smart, and the trap was even more annoying, but in the face of absolute strength, these were useless, Fang Zhiwen did not need to rush into the formation and dismounted all the horses and fought with confidence, what he cared more about was what the purpose of these people's actions to block the road was for?

Xiangxiang glanced at her brother who was thinking, she was not worried at all, because she had full confidence in her brother, and besides, there was really nothing to worry about in the battle in front of her, after the battle with tens of thousands of people, these small scenes were really not enough to make her excited.

The generals are also very quiet, only Zhou Tai seems a little excited, this kind of big scene is the first time he has seen it, the day before yesterday he missed the battle of Hanyang He is very sorry, now it seems that with this lord, the battle is indispensable, listening to Brother Yuwen said about the repeated battles on the grassland, Zhou Tai unconsciously yearned.

"Boyan, you take two hundred people to watch the pikemen and crossbow formations in front, if the other side is pressing, we will slowly press the opponent's crossbow formation to the right side, drive them to the mountain, dismount and fight in the mountains, occupy the hill on the right, if they don't move, we won't move for the time being, wait for news from Shi A, I want to see what they plan to do."

"Guy on the other side, how about joining our Stormwind Legion? Otherwise"

Before Fang Zhiwen could start his action, a player in armor suddenly appeared in front of the gunman formation on the opposite side, shouting loudly, with a confident expression on his face.

"By you broken soldiers1

Fang Zhiwen waved his hand at Yuwen Boyan, signaling him to carry out the order, Yuwen Boyan immediately made a few gestures, and commanded the troops to slowly divide into two pieces, although they were still standing together, but the command authority had been separated.

Fang Zhiwen's words were not wrong, the soldiers standing on the opposite battlefield were indeed broken soldiers, because they were all temporarily acquired, how elite do you think.

And the biggest problem of the player now is the lack of command ability, more than five people in a team, if the captain is not strong enough, the morale will drop, these soldiers who have just bought are not high morale, and if they are so weakened again, the morale of these soldiers is almost on the verge of collapse at any time, but unfortunately Fang Zhiwen didn't know this, so he didn't rush the opponent's spearman formation.

In addition to objective factors such as the rank of soldiers and the state of equipment, there are also factors that affect the combat effectiveness of a unit, and more importantly, there are also factors such as commanders and generals; a unit composed of an uncle, a tun chief, a qu chief, and a lieutenant will have high morale and strong combat effectiveness; on the contrary, a unit led by only one general is much worse, and this is the problem of the army's control.

And the troops on the opposite side can be directly called a rabble, most players don't have the corresponding military position at all now, and they can't command and integrate the troops of these five thousand people at all, so these troops are temporarily put together, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined, if Fang Zhiwen knows that the other party doesn't even have a Qu commander, and the five thousand soldiers and horses only have a few commanders, they just rushed directly into battle, maybe too cautious is also a kind of hairy glass

Compared with Fang Zhiwen's army with complete generals, the other side can only be called garbage, so Fang Zhiwen is not wrong at all when he says this, and the players on the other side have no reason to refute it.

"Hahaha, of course not, as long as we block you, the large army behind will arrive at any time, in this land of Jiangnan water network, your cavalry will not play a role, on the contrary, our infantry can make flexible use of the terrain, under the advantages of one another, you have no chance of winning, I think brother, you will be able to see this clearly, how about it, how about my proposal?"

"It's not ashamed to say it, the World Council can still tolerate me, what can you little Storm Legion do to me, even if you can defeat me this time, you are not afraid that I will turn back and retaliate, maybe I will not provoke the World Society, but what are you Storm Legion? １

"Hmph, I don't know what to do, no matter how strong you are, it is impossible for you to go against our entire Storm Legion, and it is you who are not ashamed! Since the words are not speculative, let's see the truth on the battlefield, this world has always been who has the big fist and who is reasonable, and I have never heard of a person with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth who is reasonable, haha"

"Well said, let him taste the power of our crossbow arrows, and see what about this famous black cavalry1

"Isn't this a silver-like wax spear? １

"Look at that second goods, it's a pretending coer."

"Haha"

The players surrounded on three sides were giggling and laughing, and from time to time they burst into a few foul words, perhaps in their opinion, with this formation that trapped the cavalry, this battle was already nine out of ten, the question was, were they really not afraid that Fang Zhiwen would turn around and leave? If Fang Zhiwen really withdrew from the battlefield at this time, it would be completely impossible to pursue with their speed, and they would not dare to pursue, once they left this preset battlefield, wouldn't Fang Zhiwen kill all the horses.

Moreover, Fang Zhiwen didn't know about their morale problem, they themselves knew very well, once the war was unfavorable and the troops were facing a situation of collapse at any time, they really didn't dare to leave this preset position.

The players on the opposite side are very smart, they want to provoke Fang Zhiwen and let him take the initiative to rush into battle, but unfortunately these little routines have no effect at all in Fang Zhiwen's eyes, and the only one who is a little uncomfortable should be Zhou Tai.

Seeing that Fang Zhiwen was unmoved, the players on the opposite side had no choice, but the scolding words became more and more unpleasant, but the soldiers' footsteps did not move a single step, Fang Zhiwen also began to guess in his heart, these guys should not be not enough commanders, morale is extremely low, if this is the case, he will rush with the generals, the spear formation on the opposite side will definitely collapse, and there is no need to dismount and fight on foot at all.

When the two sides were facing each other, a scout from behind rushed into the battlefield and handed a bamboo tube for transmission to Fang Zhiwen, who took out a slightly yellowed piece of paper from the bamboo tube, on which was a message from Shi A.

"It turned out to be trying to hold us back." Fang Zhiwen smiled and said softly.

"Brother, are their pursuers really behind?"

"Yes and no, the chasing soldiers are not in the back, but in the front, and these soldiers are not chasing soldiers, but a mountain barbarian from the southeast to meet them, I think, it should be ready to join forces with the Jiangxia barbarians sent from the river, to attack Pengze County, we are here right on their route, these aliens want to drag us here, to prevent us from hiding in the mountains, of course, we turn back into Pengze They can also accept it."

"So, why don't we retreat now, go south into the mountains or go north to take a detour?"

Zhou Tai interjected and asked, and after speaking, seeing that Yuwen Boyan and Duan Zhiran did not make a sound, he felt that he was a little reckless, Zhou Tai looked at Fang Zhiwen with a little weakness, but Fang Zhiwen glanced at him appreciatively, Fang Zhiwen likes generals who have their own ideas, a general's incompetence will kill the whole army, it is better to think more than not to think.

"Well, it's a feasible way, but it's more desolate to the south, and it's neither roady nor mountainous, so it's not suitable for cavalry action, and if you go north, you may just run into the ranks of the Jiangxia rebels, and besides, wouldn't it be shameless for us to be forced away by them like this, hehe."

"Aren't they afraid of encountering mountain barbarians?"

"Of course I'm not afraid, because although these aliens are still in a normal status now, once they encounter the mountain barbarians, they will immediately join the Jiangxia barbarians and raise the banner of the rebels."

"Why don't we go back to Pengze to defend the city, I see that the ability of these barbarians to attack the city is very limited." Xiang Xiang stretched out her little hand and proposed a plan.

Fang Zhiwen frowned and thought about it, returning to Peng Ze is a feasible choice, but Jiang Xiaman and Shan Yue will attack Peng Ze, according to the development of the plot, it is likely that there will be a rebellion in Lujiang County this time, it is really hard to say whether Peng Ze can hold it, besides, his own army is the strongest field army, entering the city, it seems that there is some meaning of self-proclaimed martial arts, and besides, in addition to returning to the city, he does have other choices.

After making up his mind, Fang Zhiwen showed a slight smile on his face: "No, we don't go back, we rush over, they can organize an interception at most in the back, and the mountain people are still more than fifty miles away from us, which is enough for us to move." Boyan, assemble your troops and form a phalanx, and go and inform Shi Ah that we will continue to march eastward. ”
