How about sending two thousand troops?" After Jia Wugen finished speaking, he immediately fell silent.

No one around him had any objection, but just looked at Fan Hu like Jia Wugen and Fan Bao.

Fan Hu thought for a moment and looked around.

At this time, there were not only Fan Bao and Jia Wugen around, but also Zhang Qingte, the general who had just gathered the defeated troops, and Zhang Changgong's deputy general. The generals under these people were also gathered, and he even took a look.

In the air... According to the intelligence, four great masters, Sima Zheng, Bai Yousi, Xiong Bonan, and Zhang Changgong, should be fighting among them.

In the past, Fan Hu always felt that Zhang Changgong and Xiong Bonan's sole fighting force was quite suitable, because the competition between the two often meant that Zhang Changgong had to give up military command, which made him, Fan Hu, nominally third in the army.

In fact, he has secured his second position and leads the biggest mountain.

At this moment, the Qi County powerful man was eager for Zhang Changgong to come down and take charge.

But how is this possible? Why do Zhang Changgong and Xiong Bonan always fight alone instead of directly controlling the army like the masters in the core army of the Wei Dynasty? Isn't it because of the powerful military leaders from Qi County and the powerful deposed dragon army?

Like military leaders, they tightly control their own troops and are unwilling to give up the practitioners among their subordinates. This makes it impossible for masters such as Zhang Changgong and Xiong Bonan to form a true energy formation in the army for military use?

It is not so much that masters such as Zhang Changgong and Xiong Bonan go one-on-one to form a mountain of powerful players, but rather that the organizational structure of the powerful players naturally leads to the inefficient use of such masters.

Of course, this point is far away. Fan Hu didn't think about it before, and he doesn't think about it now.

But no matter whether he thought about it or not, he had to make a decision at this time.

"Four thousand of my troops are staying here. They are the most elite, the most powerful, and the most suitable for the final blow." Fan Hu gritted his teeth and looked at Fan Bao. "But I won't stay. Second brother, you stay.

Commander, everyone else, including Lao Jia, Colonel Zhang, Vice General Wang, and the two thousand people in your department, all follow me to support the general manager and see if we can break through the enemy in one fell swoop!"

Fan Bao immediately protested: "I'll just go."

"Going away is not enough to make the manager feel at ease, nor is it enough to convince the public." Fan Hu immediately scolded him. "It's not a life-and-death battle. If you go there, you won't be able to come back. It's better to stay behind and make decisions based on the situation!"

Fan Bao shut up immediately.

The people around him no longer hesitated, but agreed in unison... No matter what, General Fan tried his best to be worthy of all aspects this time. Although he left four thousand troops in his own army, it was indeed the most suitable reserve force.

, at this time Geng Jian personally leads the army forward, what else can be said?

Zhang Xing was sitting on the general's platform, with the last bite of cake left in his hand, but he never took a bite. But soon, when he saw another group of troops passing by the foot of the mountain, before the front had time to report which unit it was, it was already

Without hesitation, he immediately bit into the pancake and swallowed it whole.

After eating the cake, Zhang Dalong looked around, his eyes swept over Shan Tonghai, and finally looked at Li Shu: "Mr. Li, what kind of cultivation are you?"

Li Shu was startled for a moment, then realized it, and then moved his lips, but in the end he spoke firmly:

"I just condensed my elixir during the Eastern Expedition, and I am just like you."

Zhang Xing nodded, and Taoist Wei and several leaders who had concerns also looked slightly moved.

Needless to say, Zhang Xing has reservations about this answer, but it cannot be falsified, and it is impossible to falsify it at this time... Moreover, Li Shu knows his thoughts, and he also knows Li Shu's thoughts, and even the people around him know them.

the meaning of.

It's very simple. When Sima Zheng arrived, Bai Yousi had to fight with him. This major change directly affected the most important part of the planned plan, which was the question of who would be responsible for the outflanking arrows.

Li Shu is a good candidate, but does he need to be like this?

This is indeed a good opportunity to continue to gain meritorious service from this battle, and it is a great meritorious service. However, no matter how much he achieves, it seems that it is not enough for Li Shu to shake Zhang Xing's position as the commander of this battle, which is in sharp contrast.

The problem is that it is too risky to take on the task of inserting arrows.

It is very likely that he will be the target of public criticism, and he will probably have to face repeated attacks from the army and the army, and it will be a double-sided attack, and it will be a life-threatening attack... When necessary, everyone from the Chengdan masters of the army to the soldiers below will fight tooth and nail.

The coming impact revolves around the latter.

To put it bluntly, the benefits cannot match the risks.

Therefore, Li Shu was unwilling to go.

This kind of little thinking is no different from what happens secretly on the other side. Disputes over personnel, factions, and mountaintops always run through everything. It's just a matter of who can hold back and maintain the situation.

"Everyone, I think everyone has noticed that in terms of combat power, we are actually on par with our opponent." After getting the answer, Zhang Xing didn't bother to care about it at all. Instead, he looked around and stood up from the horse to face each other. "And this is our battle.

If we can win, no matter what the external appearance is about waiting for work, the strict fortifications, and the strategic location, the bottom line is that everyone is sincerely united and more united than the other party!"

Li Shu narrowed his eyes for a rare moment.

Wei Xuanding also realized something and quickly stood up. He was about to speak, but Zhang Xing raised his hand to stop him.

The latter also continued: "Now that most of the enemy troops have entered the enemy's territory, it doesn't matter whether they are more or less surrounded, but there is no need to hesitate anymore. Only Sima Zheng suddenly attacked, and Sisi is not there. Someone has to gather the elite.

The formation goes first and then goes around... Needless to say, Xu Dalang and Wang Wulang are on the front line. Monk Niu Da has insufficient ambition and cultivation. Shan Dalang himself is the commander of the third round. Naturally, the only ones who can take this position are Li and I.

Mr. Li, between me and Mr. Li, I am younger and have better physical strength. If I don’t go, who will?”

Zhang Xing is telling the truth. Even if Li Shu conceals something, it may not be as direct as Zhang Sanlang's full belly of Qi. He himself is indeed the most suitable candidate. This is what happened after Sima Erlong arrived at the beginning.

Bai Yousi must have realized this.

"I have only one thing to say before I leave. I hope that everyone will continue to implement the original plan after I leave, and not to be shaken by anything, nor to change the layout without authorization, or disrupt the command... As long as we resolutely implement the plan, this battle will be ours."

After speaking, Zhang Xing looked at Yan Qing.

The latter understood, and immediately stood up and shouted: "Please protect the law and the deacons drawn from the rear troops, gather with the dragon head's personal guards and prepare to set off... Don't forget to check the armor and weapons."

The elite gang members and elite guards who had been waiting here got up one after another and went under the general platform... Among them were the group of white knights that day, and the practitioners under Shan Tonghai. This is why Shan Tonghai is like this.

He would not be at ease if he was sent to another place because of being a member of Panraohou's army.

In fact, seeing that Zhang Xing had made up his mind to go and did so quickly, Li Shu, Shan Tonghai and others could no longer sit down and stood up one after another, as if to see each other off or to observe.

Zhang Xingfu looked at Ma Ping'er and Wang Xiongdan again: "You two are coming with me. Those of you who are here to help me will also come with me. The rest of my subordinates will follow Jia Yue and attack in the second round."

Wang Xiongdan and Ma Ping'er just gasped and nodded. Ever since they arrived, they had been shocked by the scale of the battlefield and completely lost their ability to think.

"I will go with the leader." At this moment, Jia Runshi, who was behind Jia Yue, suddenly took a step forward and asked for a fight again.

"Okay, you go and put away my general flag, remember not to open it on the way, and open it again after the detour is successful." Zhang Xing glanced at the other party and nodded directly.

Then, he lowered his head to pick up the maza, grabbed the Jinglong Sword in his other hand, turned around and walked away.

Wei Xuanding and others could only stand on the slippery general platform and watch the other party leave.

It was not yet half of the afternoon when Zhang Xing and more than a hundred practitioners and two hundred personal guards, fully armored and equipped with both long and short soldiers, just stopped and then followed the preset road from the swamp to the west, passing through the lush crops.

Use the cover to carry out the first wave of interspersing and outflanking.

However, not long after leaving, I encountered a small problem that was not an accident.

"Faucet, the water is too deep ahead."

Wang Qi, the chief of the personal guard, was the first to report. "The road is flooded, and it's full of mud as soon as you step on it. You have to go slower and follow closely. Don't fall into the crops on the roadside, let alone fish."

pond."

Zhang Xing was slightly startled, but had nothing to say. Before, the deposed Long Army only wanted to maintain this swamp hidden in the crop fields, so not only did they not allow local farmers to release water, they even built dams to prevent the water from flowing away. However, it has been raining in recent days.

It has continued on and off, and now it has caused excessive water accumulation, which in turn affects the back and forth passage, which is normal.

Others just followed the instructions before departure and just trudged on.

However, after walking in the mud for a while, he saw a puddle of water in front of him. It was estimated that there was a pond next to the road. Zhang Xing, who was wearing armor, frowned slightly, then stopped in front of the puddle of water and carried his horse.

Come and ask: "Do you remember the road?"

"Of course, don't worry, Dragon Head, we have walked through it many times." The guard leading the way immediately replied.

"Okay." Zhang Xing drew out the Jinglong Sword and looked back in the rain. "Come closer to me now. Let's form a formation in advance and walk on the ice! This will not only prevent us from falling into ditches and ponds, but also provide guidance for the following soldiers and horses.

"

The surrounding sergeants and the masters of martial arts in the gang were just startled, but soon some people reacted, because many of them had done similar things before. That day at the Bian River, the so-called knight in white was like this.

As for other people, if they follow suit, they will naturally know what to do.

A mere three hundred people roughly gathered together and formed a formation in the middle of the road. Then Zhang Xing still held the horse in one hand, but with the other hand he held the unsheathed Dragon Shocking Sword upside down and inserted it into the soft muddy ground under the muddy water, and then he unleashed it unscrupulously.

Infuriating.

The gray-white ice energy flows along the eight extraordinary meridians and even everywhere in the body, overflowing freely and spreading in all directions. Some of it rolls to the surroundings, while the other part flows along the Jinglong Sword in Zhang Xing's hand towards the muddy water.

ground.

It's midsummer, and although there is a lot of rain, the heat is still overwhelming. The ice energy intersects with the rain and heat. Looking from a distance, it seems that a lot of mist has suddenly risen, just like the Bianshui River a month ago, which roughly obscured it.

The situation of small and medium-sized troops inside.

But soon, the clouds in the sky seemed to sense something, and the rain suddenly started to rain rapidly. Large drops of rain fell, quickly dispelling the white mist.

At the same time, maybe a large amount of true energy was flowing into the water along the Shocking Dragon Sword, or maybe it was just a little slippery under his feet. Zhang Xing's figure swayed inexplicably, but he soon returned to normal, and the water in front began to freeze and condense quickly.

.

Then, without hesitation, he stepped on the ice which was not very firm and was even a mixture of ice slag and muddy water.

After walking a few steps, Zhang Xing clearly felt that many of the elites behind him had also released their true energy. The true energy was connected and connected to form a breathing whole.

The amplitude and frequency of breathing seem to be vaguely integrated with the beating of my own heart.

This is something I have never felt before.

But at this time, there was no time to think too much. The only thing Zhang Xing could be sure of was that his formation was successful. Then without any hesitation, he held the horse in one hand and the Jinglong Sword in the other, mopping the ground in the rushing rain.
To be continued...
