216 against(1/2)
By conquering the five surrounding water bandits, Zhou Jing temporarily suspended the pace of expansion, waited and watched the changes in the situation, and rectified the troops who had just joined.
"Now we take down Xiaofeng Lake, Taimen Lake, Guanya Lake, Qingpodang, Duqiutan and five places. He bit a piece of meat from Fan Zong's body. He will not give up. He will probably make moves soon."
In the main hall of the village, Zhou Jing was discussing affairs with the leaders.
"The second brother's plan is an open plan, expanding rapidly, and only embezzling Fan Zong's territory, forcing this person to fight. If he does not respond, his prestige will be greatly damaged and it will be difficult to convince the public."
Guo Haishen nodded.
Duan Yunfeng pondered: "Even if Fan Zong sends troops to attack us, he has to divide his troops to guard against the other two opponents to avoid being taken advantage of by others in the rear, so he will not dare to go out all the troops... Brother Sheng Rong, how many people do you think Fan Zong will attack?"
Sheng Rong thought for a while and replied: "We only have eight thousand people, and the warriors can gather up to four or five thousand. Based on my understanding of Fan Zong, he will probably dispatch more than half of the water generals, plus some of the troops in the headquarters, and about 18,000 to 25,000 people will go to war, several times that of us."
When the other bandit leaders heard this, they nodded and agreed.
These leaders also have names and surnames in the green forest. They were higher than Sheng Rong when they were under Fan Zong. However, as a newly surrendered person, they are not as good as Sheng Rong in Zhou Jing.
"There are really a lot of people." Duan Yunfeng frowned.
Fang Zhen snorted: "Remember, when the three of us brothers brought only about 200 people, we could match the Hutou Mountain with tens of thousands of troops. What is it like?"
"We naturally admire Brother Chen Feng's deeds of hitting Ershan with one shot, but this water battle is different from land battles, and the situation is more complicated." One of the water bandit leaders shook their heads.
Sheng Rong also advised:
"I know that all brothers are very skilled in martial arts, but don't underestimate Fan Zong. In the water battle, the number of people is still second, and the most important thing is the warship. Fan Zong's naval army is quite powerful, with several types of warships, such as boats, boats, boats, boats, boats, and ships. They have a basis for advance and retreat and cooperate properly. However, we only have some small boats. If we want to face the enemy, we can only take the sidelines, and we have a great disadvantage."
Zhou Jing nodded and said:
"So we have to choose a battlefield with a complex and narrow waterway to curb the opponent's formation, which is suitable for light boats to penetrate, so that Fan Zong's advantages can be weakened..."
Just as everyone was discussing, a minion who sent an order ran in and shouted:
"Report! Dear leaders, Fan Zong has sent troops to attack us."
When everyone heard this, they looked at Zhou Jing.
Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I thought this man could calm down and wait for a while, but he didn't expect to be so anxious... Since he wanted to fight me, he would go to an envoy to send a letter of war and ask him to fight in Qingpo."
Among the five territories, Qingpodang is the most dangerous. It was the place that everyone thought was the most suitable for the battlefield after discussing it. He decided to give up the other territories and join forces here.
Zhou Jing was not afraid that Fan Zong would not fight. Territory was dead and people were alive. Fan Zong could leave his war letter aside and take the opportunity to regain territory. However, it would be useless to seize some broken villages. If he didn't beat his group away from him head-on, the threat would not be eliminated.
After giving the order, Zhou Jing looked at the leaders and said in a deep voice:
"This battle will definitely be taken down by Fan Zong and captured many of his naval leaders. Whether he can gain a foothold in Huyang depends on this battle."
"clear."
Everyone responded loudly.
...
With the strong insertion of Chen Feng, the crossing dragon, Huyang's originally stalemate became surging.
"King Jin Scale" Fan Zong summoned the remaining 17 water generals, and brought eight of them, plus some of the soldiers and horses in the village, with a total of 22,000 people, known as a 30,000 army, and set out in a mighty battle.
The rest of the troops guarded the territory and guarded against the other two opponents.
When Fan Zong received Zhou Jing's letter of war, he was also fearless and marched steadily all the way to Qingpodang.
The environment of Qingpo is dangerous, and the reed marsh looks like a maze, and the denser it gets inside. There are still shoals everywhere. It is difficult for ships to travel in it, and it is easy to get stuck if they are not careful.
At the center of the lake, there is a low island, like a steep slope, where the village is located, surrounded by layers of reed marshes. If you are not familiar with the waterways here, it is difficult to get to the island.
At this moment, Fan Zong's troops set up camps on the distant shore, and many warships lined up along the coast, located on a slightly flat lake outside Qingpodang, facing the dangerous Qingpodang from afar.
There are many warships, high and low, crowds of people, flags fluttering, and the scene is quite magnificent.
Fan Zong stood at the bow of a tower ship in the formation, frowned and looked at the environment, then turned his head to ask a man dressed in a scribe next to him:
"I wonder what the military advisor thinks?"
This scribe dressed as a man, was a military advisor in Fan Zongzhai, called Du Ying, and had learned a little about how to arrange troops and arrange troops.
Du Yingfu said:
"Master of the village, this Qingpo Dang is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Chen Feng has few people and weak power. Naturally, he wants to rely on the advantage of the land to defeat us. I saw the murderous aura in the lake, but the enemy was missing. Most of them were ambushing in the reed marsh. He did not hide this intention, just to see if we dared to enter."
Fan Zong rolled his eyes: "Since you know your opponent's plan, it's better to surround and not attack, guard the exit, cut off its supplies, and trap these people to death?"
Du Ying thought about it and said:
"This plan is probably inappropriate. The leader of the village should not forget that Chen Feng's martial arts are amazing and good at attacking the camp. He cannot be judged reasonably. If we are trapped and do not attack, we will give Chen Feng a place to use his skills. If it changes later, it will be better to fight quickly. In my opinion, it is better to fight quickly."
Facing Chen Feng, who was beyond common sense, it was difficult for him to make judgments with conventional ideas. If he did not take the initiative, he would be afraid that Chen Feng would give them a "night exploration of the enemy camp" and if he took the initiative, he would take the initiative to step in even though he knew the other party was ambushing.
Fan Zong thought about it and decided to adopt this plan, asking:
"Then I wonder what the military advisor has to do to defeat the enemy?"
Du Ying pondered for a while and said, "Now our army is powerful, so there is no need for a strange plan. We should defeat the strange with the right. Maintain the encirclement formation and advance steadily. Don't go deeper rashly. Let the outside boats reconnaissance everywhere, release water ghosts to explore the reefs, and intercept the enemy water ghosts to harass them. At the same time, try to cut down, burn down the road blocking reed marshes, break the geographical advantage, so that our army's fleet can drive straight in, so that the enemy's ambush has nowhere to hide, force them to fight head-on, and use our army's strengths to attack the enemy's shortcomings... By the way, we must also prevent Chen Feng from relying on his force to kill the generals and seize the flag, otherwise all his previous efforts will be wasted."
"Well, it makes sense."
Fan Zong's face relaxed, feeling that this move was quite suitable for his heart.
At this moment, more than a dozen small boats were turned out in Qingpodang, and Zhou Jing stood on one of them and sailed towards Fan Zong's huge fleet.
Halfway through the journey, more than a dozen small boats stopped and confronted Fan Zong and others from afar.
Zhou Jing glanced at him, his eyes fixed on the man in yellow on the bow of the building ship. He recognized this person through his characteristics as Fan Zong, and shouted loudly:
"The person who came is King Jinlin, Master Fan?"
“That’s right.”
Fan Zong answered, looked at Zhou Jing, and then said angrily:
"Hmph, you are Chen Feng, the devil in the world? I have really admired you for a long time! I respect you as a hero. I wanted to make friends with you with courtesy, but you have no reason to seize my territory. Can't you think I am easy to bully?"
"Haha, Master Fan must not misunderstand it. I am not targeting you." Zhou Jing stood with his arms in his arms and laughed loudly: "I have heard for a long time that the three dragons in Huyang are not ordinary people, but in fact they are just Er. Although your military power is strong today, it is just in my eyes. They are all native chickens and tiles. I think you might as well surrender to me directly, and you can still lose some flesh and blood."
What this said is no different from everyone here.
Upon hearing this, many leaders under Fan Zong became popular and shouted loudly.
Fan Zong was also furious and shouted: "Chen Feng! Don't be rampant! You dare to look down on me, Huyang hero, let you know my power today!"
"Oh? I wonder which Huyang hero dares to come up and pick me up?"
Zhou Jing hooked his feet and kicked the iron dragon spear in the air. He grabbed it casually and turned his wrists around. The eighty-pound iron spear weighing was like a light wooden stick in his hand.
After the words came to an end, the shouts and scoldings in Fan Zong formation instantly silenced and no one answered.
Just kidding, if we haven’t heard your story, we will fight you one-on-one if we hate our longevity!
Fan Zong was not ashamed and snorted: "Chen Feng, our army is now in great power and we are not interested in fighting with you."
At this time, a small boat next to Zhou Jing suddenly sailed forward.
Duan Yunfeng stood on the boat and deliberately said:
"Huyang hero, with this little courage, how can you be known as a hero? I, Duan Yunfeng, will be enough to deal with you and other rats without my brother taking action."
Hearing this, the leaders of the Fan Zong formation started to yell and shout again, and they all asked for a fight.
Duan Yunfeng's reputation in Green Forest Road was not well known, and Huyang Qunhao did not recognize him.
It would be fine if it were Chen Feng and Guo Haishen. Which onion is your nameless young man named Duan? Is it worthy of despising us?
Seeing the crowd excited, Fan Zong saw that Chen Feng would not go out of the battle. After thinking for a while, he turned around and nodded a leader and said, "Brother Ling, I'm sorry, you can take this person and show your power to our army."
As long as he doesn't fight Chen Feng alone, he doesn't mind letting his leader fight, especially Duan Yunfeng is still an unknown man.
In the green forest, the two armies are facing each other, and fighting will be common. In the water battle, the fight between the two sides will be a small boat each and a small boat is connected to the center. The masters of both sides use the ship as the ground to catch each other and fight each other.
"That's what I look at."
The leader named Ling nodded calmly, then got on a small boat and headed straight for Duan Yunfeng.
Fan Zong’s village has more than a dozen leaders, including two masters. This person is one of them. He is called Lingtong, and two short spears have chains connected in the middle. The green forest nickname is "Ground Wind", and his martial arts are very extraordinary.
In full view of everyone, the two armies were in the center of the army and the boats joined the side, and the battle suddenly began.
Duan Yunfeng had both swords in his hand, and was ruthless and tricky. Ling Tong held his two guns in his hand, and was quick and fast, both of which were flexible and fast attack methods.
For a moment, sword lights and spears danced all over the field, and two figures moved around on the narrow boat, fighting in a similar fashion.
After fighting forty or fifty rounds, Ling Tong gradually lost his support. He realized that he was not the opponent, so he quickly attacked Duan Yunfeng a few times and jumped to the river to run.
However, Duan Yunfeng was quick-witted and immediately stabbed a sword under the water when Ling Tong fell into the water.
The next moment, a bloody color suddenly rose on the lake.
With a splash of water, Ling Tong struggled to float up, but was grabbed by Duan Yunfeng, pulled back to the boat, and then kicked unconscious.
"Oh, Brother Ling! It hurts so much!"
When Fan Zong saw that his master was captured, he screamed in panic.
Duan Yunfeng withdrew his sword and shouted: "You dare to show your eyes when you have such a skill? You overestimate yourself!"
There was a silence in Fan Zong formation.
