Chapter 243 There is a monster in the fog(1/3)
On the top of the city, when Commander Shen Zhou discovered that the 19,000 people in Xishan Hall were marching in formation, making a head-on attitude, and a thick white mist floated from the opposite side, his eyes could not help but look slightly dull.
.
Shen Zhou originally thought that this battle would be impossible.
After Iron Maniac died in the battle, the Iron Banner Gang lost its backbone.
How can we contend with the panic-stricken hunters of Xishan Hall and the half-hearted wealthy families?
So tonight, all they need is an armed march.
The soldiers and horses of these powerful families contracted with the 7,000 county troops to go north, chasing them north and sweeping them all the way until they besieged the people of Xishan Hall in Xishan Town or forced them into Xishan.
However, a small trebuchet was used on the opposite side to throw the head of Du Wenyuan, a member of the county government, onto the city wall, clearly demonstrating the opponent's desperate intention to die.
——The young banner leader of the Iron Banner Gang is clearly preparing to fight against the trapped beasts and fight them desperately.
Shangguan Shenhao noticed that the heads of several inner-city aristocratic families present subconsciously frowned.
Even the county captain Shen Zhou's eyes flickered.
Shangguan Shenhao smacked it coldly and fiddled with Du Wenyuan's head with the end of his scabbard: "It is indeed Du Wenyuan. This guy is also extremely unlucky to meet such an arrogant and rude person.
What's ridiculous is that Chu Xisheng. Although this person is fierce, he is also extremely stupid. He clearly has a way to survive and has to step into the door of death."
He raised his head and looked at the opposite side with a slight sneer: "What qualifications does Xishan Hall have to compete with us now? Does he want to compete with masters, or does he want to compete with soldiers? Or is it the morale of the army? Iron Kuangren is already dead.
Why should those hunter leaders and Xishan squires work for him?"
Commander Shen Zhou was thoughtful.
He admitted that what Shangguan Shenhao said made sense.
The problem is that the four thousand steps he placed outside the city wall are already the Shen family's last capital.
There are also county soldiers——
The last time the Black Bear Mountain was defeated, he relied on Shangguan Shenhao and others to share the losses, and he managed to get through.
However, the governor of Dongzhou was very dissatisfied. Not long ago, he summoned him to the governor's office in Jiangnan County and reprimanded him until he was bloody.
If the county army suffered any major losses, Shen Zhou thought that he would definitely be demoted.
At this time, Long Heng stood up, with a cold look on his face: "Uncles, please listen to my nephew! In terms of military strength today, our coalition has more than 24,000 people! Among them are the elites of the county and county armies.
, is the highest in the county! When it comes to experts, each of our families has up to thirty sixth-grade warriors, and among them, there are nine people with fifth-grade combat power!
There are eight people with fifth-grade cultivation, and the combat power of the head of the Shangguan family is closer to that of fourth-grade! Why are they afraid of Xishan Hall? When it comes to the morale of the people, after the death of Tie Kuangren, how can the Xishan Hall not worry about the future? How can they be worried about the imperial government?
Fearless? So as long as we press forward openly, we will definitely crush them in one fell swoop!"
As Long Heng spoke, he observed the expressions of the people on the city wall.
Almost everyone nodded slightly, with expressions of deep approval.
But no one spoke in response.
Long Heng's eyes darkened slightly.
He knew that these people were not afraid of Xishan Hall.
Xishan Hall is already in turmoil, and the sun is setting on the west mountain. What is there to be afraid of?
The heads of these aristocratic families just don't want to compromise their own soldiers and generals.
Long Heng's face was still filled with a smile: "Also, please don't forget the eunuch! The eunuch and the two eunuchs of Dongzhou House set up a trap to kill Tie Kuangren. They not only killed thousands of elite soldiers and horses, but also lost six people. A famous fifth-grade master, even the wife of the prefect was killed in Mijiazhuang.
The prefect has sacrificed so much for us, the gentry of Xiushui County, if we do nothing but sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor, I am afraid it will chill the prefect’s heart.”
When he said this, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
This is not just chilling, it will probably trigger the fury of Lei Lei, the eunuch of the prefect and the eunuch of Dongzhou.
"Longheng's words are very good! The ancients said that the king treats his ministers as his brothers and sisters, and the ministers will treat the king as their heart. Since the prefect took office, he has treated us gentry with sincerity and treated us with great courtesy, and now is the time for us to repay the prefect."
Shangguan Shenhao glanced at Long Heng with admiration, and then looked at Shen Zhou. He clasped his fists and said, "Brother Shen, please give the order. These Iron Banner Gang troops have come to the county and are clearly intending to rebel. Today If Brother Shen can lead us to eradicate it, it will be a great achievement."
Shen Zhou also cheered up.
He didn't care whether his merits were great or not, as long as he could keep his position as county captain and take back some of the Shen family's properties in Xishan.
At this time, the Iron Banner Gang has its last breath. If they are still afraid of losses and avoid fighting, won't they make the world laugh out loud? What kind of prestige does Xiushui's Yiying family have to intimidate Xiaoxiao in the world?
Shen Zhou narrowed his eyes: "Send an order to the whole army to form a formation on the spot and wait for the enemy! Seven thousand county soldiers will be the center army, Shangguan family will be responsible for the right wing, and Long family's 1,500 people will fight bravely. Later, they can advance from the right wing. Suddenly, defeat those Xishan tycoons in one fell swoop!"
Hearing this, Long Heng's eyes suddenly showed a bit of shock and anger.
However, after he looked around at everyone around him, he still endured it.
Since July last year, the Long family has suffered repeated blows, and its strength has been greatly reduced. It no longer has the capital to bargain with these people.
Moreover, those wealthy and powerful households in Xishan are indeed soft persimmons that are easy to pinch.
Shen Zhouze continued: "Chu Xisheng used the magician to create fog, which is nothing more than to provide convenience for his two half-demon fifth-grades! However, the number of fifth-grades on our side is far greater than that of Xishan Hall, so why be afraid of two Fifth-grade half-demon? And this thick fog is actually not conducive to the twelve thousand hunting bows in Xishan.
Therefore, in this battle, there is no need for magicians to waste mana on driving wind and fog. Instead, we can tell all magicians that their priority is to kill the enemy archers and just do what they want."
When Shen Zhou said this, he turned around and looked around at everyone: "Shen said the same to everyone, today each tribe is fighting on its own, just be careful not to hurt friendly troops. It is difficult to distinguish objects in the heavy fog, and military orders cannot be conveyed. , it will have no effect. So next, it will be a situation where the brave one wins when the two armies meet!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Everyone on the city wall nodded after hearing this.
As far as the art of war is concerned, Lieutenant Shen is still quite capable and is not a fool.
In a heavy fog, simplicity is indeed the priority. The more complex military orders are, the more likely they are to cause trouble.
"——Today, all sixth-grade and fifth-grade martial cultivators need to hold a token for communication in the fog! When one person encounters the enemy, support from all directions must be achieved. The two fifth-grade half-demon must be surrounded in the shortest possible time. Kill! In addition, I hope that the two hundred knights under the Shangguan family can pass through along the river embankment and penetrate directly into the enemy's rear!"
Shen Zhou pointed forward with his hand and said in a solemn voice: "The north of the city is all paddy fields, only the hard soil near the river embankment is conducive to the attack of the iron cavalry. Those hunters have good fighting ability, but they cannot pass the battle formation. They only need to charge with their iron cavalry. It can be defeated!"
When Shen Zhou mentioned the words "costume knight", his expression was slightly envious.
The armored knights not only wear heavy armor all over their bodies, but their horses are also covered in horse armor. Although they are unable to compete with the giant spirit races in the north, they are invincible weapons within the human race.
However, the equipment and war horses alone for a knight would cost thousands of taels of magic silver. Only the Shangguan family in Xiushui County could afford to raise a full eighth-grade knight.
Shangguan Shenhao nodded slightly.
Shen Zhou's arrangement is very systematic. As long as the tribes are willing to use their lives a little, they will definitely win.
At this time, the white mist had already surged in front of the Xiushui Allied Forces formation, and in a very short time, more than 10,000 people were enveloped in the mist!
Shangguan Shenhao raised his hand and scattered dozens of red jade talismans, falling in front of everyone.
"This is the 'Red Light Talisman' used as a warning in the military! After being activated, it can emit a red light that shines for dozens of miles around. Not to mention this mere white mist, it can shine for miles even in the underworld. If you encounter those two half-demon masters, you can use this talisman to warn you. Those around you must rush to help in the shortest possible time!"
When he finished speaking, he was floating like a fairy, landed on a war horse under the city wall, and galloped towards Shangguan's military formation.
At this time, Shangguan Shenhao's eyes were as cold as ice.
Today is the moment of revenge that he has been thinking about day and night!
For his eldest son Shangguan Longjian, and for his broken arm.
Shangguan Shenhao is preparing to personally lead two hundred cavalry to attack the enemy's rear and defeat Chu Xisheng's main formation!
Only by killing Chu Xisheng and cutting him into pieces can Shangguan Shenhao relax and let go of this grudge!
※※※※
Just when the thick fog began to cover the battlefield.
In the right wing formation of Xishan Hall, Dan Chiling's face was as cold as ice, with murderous intent: "Ze'er, what do you think the situation is like on both sides now?"
When his eldest son Danze heard this, he chuckled and scratched his head: "How should I put it? Except for the Xishan Hall main formation, the other families are very cautious."
Even the seven thousand county troops on the opposite side were no exception.
They formed a tight formation, but their movements and steps were very slow, and their expressions were extremely solemn and slightly uneasy.
"What kind of caution? They are all a bunch of cowards. No one on either side wants to fight tooth and nail today. As the saying goes, the two are afraid of fighting a wolf with a straw."
Dan Chiling twisted his neck, and then his whole body began to swell, turning into a ferocious man with a height of one foot or two, with muscles all over his body, and half of his body covered with red scales.
Even his eyes changed into red vertical pupils.
"The young flag leader is right. In today's situation, the brave will win when the two armies meet! Xishan Hall still has a good chance of winning this battle, provided that we can withstand the many high-quality martial arts cultivators on the opposite side."
When Danze saw this, his eyes flashed slightly: "Father, what are you doing?"
"The fog has formed, we have to fight hard!"
Dan Chiling turned around and glanced at his three sons behind him: "That bastard Chu Xisheng has great tricks and has completely tied our Dan family and Xishan Hall together.
When we help Xishan Hall now, we are also helping ourselves. We have so many things hidden underground in Danjiazhuang that we won’t be able to remove them all in a while. What’s more, our family has so many fields and so many properties that I can’t let them go.”
Danze was not surprised when he heard this. He just smiled bitterly: "There are more fifth-grade people on the opposite side than us!"
As he spoke, his body began to expand and change, eventually growing to about one foot.
And not only Danze, but his two younger brothers Danzi and Dantuo also began to change their bodies.
At this time, the shape of the three of them was similar to that of their father, with strong limbs and gnarled muscles, and their bodies were covered with red hair and scales. However, their bodies were one size smaller, and they were only about one foot tall.
"So what if there are more than us?" Dan Chiling put on a silver mask and smiled coldly at the same time: "More people may not be useful. In today's battle, the four of us, father and son, work together to defeat the slow and use the fast to bully.
