Chapter 55: Defeat the Enemy

Zhou Shu was arranged to lead his troops to ambush in the woods on the hills on the west side. If enemy aids rushed from the western camps, they, as suspects, should slow down the speed of enemy aids in this direction as much as possible.

Zhou Shu asked his subordinates to keep an eye on the movements of the camp on the west side of the enemy. It was only about four miles away. He couldn't rest assured and walked to a cliff near Qingquangou Village in Xigang and looked into Changgou.

The location where Zhou Shu was standing was only a thousand steps away from Qingquangou Village. At this time, the fog almost dissipated, the sunlight shone down, and the surrounding scene became clear.

Zhou Shu was good at spears and riding and shooting, and his eyesight was sharper than ordinary people. He could see the fierce battle in the alley on the west side of the Qingquangouzhai Ancestral Temple clearly, and bursts of turbulence in his heart.

Although the battle of guarding Gong County was extremely tragic, the soldiers of Tongbai Mountain only went to the city to resist for a while when the guarding army could not resist or were disrupted in a short period of time.

Even if the ramp filled by the rebels in Lanzhou was directly connected to the city, Xu Huai restrained himself and did not ask the Tongbai Mountain soldiers to fight back. From beginning to end, he was responsible for defending the city. When the tomb guards stabilized their positions, or when the rest and rested to the tomb guards, the Tongbai Mountain soldiers would be replaced.

During the battle of Gongxian defending the city, the defenders also suffered thousands of casualties, but most of them were soldiers of the tomb guarding the army. The casualties of the soldiers in Tongbai Mountain beside Xu Huai can be said to be minimal.

Because the casualties between the Tongbai Mountain soldiers and the Tomb Guardian Army were too dissatisfied, and there was no tough battle between the Tongbai Mountain soldiers in the battle of the city, the generals of the Tomb Guardian Army were inevitably a little dissatisfied or resentful.

In the eyes of Zhou Shu, who was highly regarded by himself, the Tongbai Mountain soldiers could be said to be elite, but in his opinion, they might not be as strong as the Western Army's strongest combat soldiers.

During the battle to defend the city in Gong County, Xu Huai, Wang Ju and others did not take much action. At most, they took Zhang Bugong to flirt with the formation behind. Every time they saw King Jing treat Xu Huai, Wang Ju and others with courtesy, Zhou Shu felt that they were so famous, or that there was really no one around King Jing, so that they seemed like this.

However, the fierce battle in the west alley of the ancestral hall was directly exposed to Zhou Shu's eyes, making his heart turbulent.

"So strong! Is this the python sword and python gun created by Wang Xiaocheng back then?" Zhou Shu's several Jianrui people were all good players he carefully trained in the army. At this time, he watched the fighting in the camps on the hillside, his mouth slightly opened. He was shocked for a while and didn't know how to describe what they saw.

"If I were to say that the sword and gun in General Wang Ju's hand were a little stronger than the cloud sea gun in your hand, Zhou Touer, will you wear it in the future?" A young team team looked up to Zhou Shu and couldn't help but say with emotion.

"I didn't see them taking action in Gong County. I thought they were just famous. I thought I was born into a thief. How strong can I be? I thought they were just relying on the hundreds of old soldiers who were used to fighting... "

The disadvantages of the tomb guarding army may be more serious than ordinary imperial guards. In addition to being a general and a skilled person, the military preparation is more relaxed, and the practice is only for beautiful surfaces and not suitable for actual combat.

However, the existence of the imperial guards' examination mechanism can ensure that a group of strong people will be selected into the army that the court attaches most importance to.

But after these people were selected, it would be difficult to make a name for themselves.

Yu Gong, Yu Zheng, Han Wende, and Ling Jian are these people, and Zhou Shu and Chen Jin are actually the same, but they are from better backgrounds. They can serve as generals in the tomb guarding army, and have entered the rank of generals. They have gathered some soldiers with great skills under their command. Otherwise, they would not have stood out in the defense battle of Gong County.

Listening to the teasing of the people around him, Zhou Shu's face became a little hot. After all, he had said a lot of disdain for the Tongbai Mountain soldiers.

Cao Shili's troops were not very strong overall. Zhou Shu was deeply moved by this when the Gongxian County Defense Battle was fought. However, the problem was that when Xu Huai personally led the soldiers of Tongbai Mountain to break into the village from the earthen wall of the west wall, the village was just as Deng Gui expected. Cao Shili led the elite guards to gather in the group near the Beizhaimen, and was ready to send reinforcements to the northern battlefield in Gongxian at any time. He was caught off guard without a scattered group.

In other words, the hundreds of soldiers who rushed to the west side of the ancestral hall to enter the alley to snipe the soldiers of Tongbai Mountain were not only in line, but also in a neat formation, and the generals and schoolmen were in the queue without leaving, and the generals and soldiers were not panicked. These people were even following the Cao brothers for many years and had rich combat experience.

In addition to receiving the order immediately, these soldiers were able to go straight to the most critical position. After Xu Huai and Wang Ju broke through several layers of shield formations, they did not mess up. They also had constant sources of energy, and the orderly raising shields forward was enough to prove this.

Cao Shili hastily did not say that he would immediately annihilate the invading enemy. Instead, he used the old soldiers and fierce soldiers to form shield formations layer by layer and use the narrow terrain of the tunnel to surround the enemy. It can be said that it is an extremely correct choice.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Shu thought of himself no matter how high he was, and he had to admit that if his subordinates led three or five hundred elite troops to fight, they would definitely be blocked in the alley and could not break through. At most, both sides would be stalemate and no one could do anything to anyone in a short period of time.

However, if this is the case, Cao Shili will have plenty of time to organize more troops to break through the walls and pass through the houses from the courtyards on both wings, or directly organize crossbowmen and archers to surround the walls and eaves, and to bring in more combat equipment to replace the simple shield formation to block and encircle the enemy.

If the troops who attacked the camp could not escape in a panic in the Western Wall and Earth Wall in time, generally speaking, they would not be able to escape the catastrophe.

This is also the reason why Deng Gui initially advocated the suspension of the raid.

Zheng Huaizhong and other Western Army generals were too conservative, and the fog was truce. They did not transfer Cao Shili and the elite guards away. They were too risky to break into the camp.

When Zhou Shu heard Deng Gui's words at that time, he felt that apart from them, there were not no people available among the imperial guards.

But he didn't want Xu Huai to be too stubborn, and a person like Deng Gui seemed to have a good position in the army, but he didn't dare to stick to his own ideas in front of Xu Huai. This is somewhat disappointing to Zhou Shu.

Deng Guiwu was named after him and served as a local inspector. At this time, he served in the Deployment Department of Jingxi Road as a state regiment. Although he only led 300 troops and horses to come this time, his status in the army was not much lower than Xu Huai.

Zhou Shu and the others have just been promoted to the commander of the defense, which cannot be considered a formal appointment, and it is even more impossible to confront Xu Huai, who is also in charge of military and political affairs.

It is one aspect to follow the order, but Zhou Shu still felt that this attack on the camp would suffer a great loss. She kept thinking about how to complete the task of covering the flanks to avoid being irritated by Xu Huai afterwards, and to ensure that his brothers were not cheated by the stubborn Xu Huai to death.

However, looking at the enemy's turtle shell-like shield formation, under Xu Huai and Wang Ju personally led the elite troops to attack and shattered layer by layer, Zhou Shu realized that they had never really seen how terrifying the combat power of Xu Huai, Wang Ju and the Tongbai Mountain soldiers beside them were.

The elite soldiers sent by Cao Shili to enter the alley to form shield formations, but were the elite soldiers who followed Xu Huai to charge into the formation?

The so-called elite soldiers are also of different levels.

The elite soldiers around Xu Huai are obviously stronger.

Although Xu Huai and Wang Ju were brave, they could not break the shields held by hundreds of brave soldiers one by one. No matter how strong they were, they could not squeeze them without limit.

Xu Huai and Wang Ju are more of the most powerful points of the dense shield formation, which makes the dense shield formation flawed, allowing the generals on both sides to pry the gap more easily, and kill the enemy soldiers floating in the formation at a more efficient speed.

Of course, this requires that both soldiers on both sides can keep up with Xu Huai and Wang Ju’s attack speed, and accurately capture the attack opportunity and cooperate with each other without Xu Huai and Wang Ju’s concerns about what’s beside him.

The Tongbai Mountain soldiers did this, which was simply a model of perfect combination of powerful generals and powerful soldiers. Zhou Shu was so excited that he wanted to be in it and fight together.

At this moment, the Tongbai Mountain soldiers were like an iron rod made of fine iron hammers, chiseling the enemy soldiers' shields that seemed strong and like turtle shells layer by layer.

There was something stagnant from beginning to end, and it was chiseled layer by layer and penetrated layer by layer.

In the alley, from the place where the battle is at the entrance to the west of the ancestral temple, about thirty feet from west to east, the enemy soldiers formed a dense formation with fifteen to twenty people in groups of shields, with spears and swords between them, and there were about twenty layers in front and back. They were drilled through less than one stick of incense?

At this time, the enemy camps on both wings of Qingquangou Village had just sent a small number of scouts and reconnaissance cavalry to find out what was going on here, but reinforcements had not yet begun to assemble.

What speed is this?

"Zhou Touer, look at the order flags on the other side of the wall. Do you want to call us into the village to fight?" At this time, an old soldier reminded Zhou Shu to see the changes in the order flags on the earthen wall of the west wall.

"That's true," Zhou Shu also shouted excitedly, "Er Sheng'er, go find Zhou Pu and ask him to lead people to continue to guard here as a suspicious soldier. Everyone else will join me in the enemy camp!"

If Cao Shili did not transfer all the elite troops to the west side of the ancestral temple located in the village in time to attack Xu Huai, and would continue to organize troops with relatively complete fortifications at the north and south gates. Zhou Shu knew that they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of number of people and had no chance to enter the village to kill randomly. This time the attack on the camp could only be done with a brief taste, and he had to follow the original plan to deploy the retreat before the enemy's aid came.

Now Cao Shili gathered the elite guards in the alley on the west side of the ancestral temple, intending to block the Tongbai Mountain soldiers, but instead suffered heavy damage. As long as they were further defeated, it would mean that the defenders in the village seemed to have six or seven thousand people, but there was no team of people who could slightly resist the Tongbai Mountain soldiers' rapid drilling tactics.

They may smash any resistance in the village in the shortest time before the enemy aid arrives, and may even establish an emergency defense against enemy aid at the Beizhai Gate.

Then why not take a big gamble?

Now seeing the instructions issued by the changes in the Western Wall Earth Wall Order Banner, we must summon all the troops deployed to the rear to fight in the village.
