Chapter 446: Role Conversion

The polarity reversal is just a blink of an eye.

The roles of hunter and prey are reversed.

Setting up checkpoints everywhere and surrounding them on several sides, Dong Zhen, the general of Yi Niang tribe, prepared to kill the last bit of the audacious Mang tribe and Usa tribe, and then annexed the remaining women and children of the two tribes. At noon, Dong Zhen, the general of the Yi Niang tribe,

At that time, intelligence from the rear was received.

Even though the sun was shining in the sky, the cold air still rushed directly from the soles of my feet to my forehead.

The Song Army's general offensive against Weining began.

With his intuition, Dong Zhen keenly realized that this was no ordinary petty conflict.

In the past three years, Weining has gone to Bijie to harass them from time to time. The Song army in Bijie rarely launched large-scale counterattacks.

Not activating does not mean that the opponent has no power.

It's just that the other party doesn't bother to do it.

If you don't move, that's enough. If you move, it will kill you.

This is probably Bijie's idea towards Song Jun.

The Mang tribe and the Wusa tribe rebelled, but the Bijie Song army appeared on the border at the right time and launched a fierce attack on Weining. The timing was perfect.

This is no coincidence.

There is only one possibility, that is, Mangbu and Wushabu have defected to Xiao Cheng on Guizhou Road. This is a carefully planned conspiracy.

The war has broken out.

After thinking about all this, Dong Zhen felt a chill in his heart.

too late.

Because at this moment, more than half of the troops on the border have been mobilized by themselves to surround Wu Jing and Kuai Peng. The villages on the border are insufficient in strength and cannot withstand a full-out attack by the Bijie defenders, so their fall is inevitable.

The loss of these strongholds is not a total disaster. For Weining, what is more important is the loss of military strength.

Moreover, these elite soldiers are still the core strength of the Yi Niang tribe.

The Song army blocking Bijie on the periphery was to prove its strength to Dali. In this way, it could obtain more support, food, ordnance and other various materials.

In the past two years, the border defense forces have been gradually strengthened to prevent the various tribesmen of the Shimen tribe from running towards Bijie. If they all ran away, how could the Yi Niang tribe annex them and strengthen themselves?

Dong Kui made a big bag, strengthened the border forces, and then annexed various tribes in an orderly manner. In another two or three years, he would be able to turn more than a dozen tribes of the Shimen tribe into one tribe.

That means only Yi Niangbu is left.

But this creates a bigger problem.

More than 60% of the main force of the power was on the border to fight against the Song army.

The remaining 40% were gathered in Weining County and led by Dong Kui himself.

The end of the border line means that most of the strength of the Yi Niang tribe has been lost.

Standing on the top of the hill, Dong Zhen stared at the end of the distant field of vision. Wu Jing's men had stopped running, and they seemed to be sizing up the pursuers behind them.

Neither urgent nor slow, neither hasty nor slow.

They are fishing for themselves.

"Pass my order, all troops, try your best to gather towards Maobian Village." Dong Zhen breathed out: "If the road to Maobian Village is blocked by the enemy, then run directly to Weining County. Go back as much as you can.

."

"As you command!"

Several messengers mounted their horses and flew away.

"Send someone to send a message to the big head man that the war has begun. I will try my best to buy him one or two days. Weining can either ask General Gao to send troops to support immediately. If not, give up Weining and lead

Let's retreat to Liupanshui!"

Dong Zhen sighed: "Take away all the tribes that can be taken away. In this way, although we no longer have our own territory, it will be more convenient to annex those small tribes. As long as we still have the strength, we are not afraid that Dali will not want to see us. At the end of the day

It will be recommended to go this route."

"General Dong, where are you?" After hearing this, the messenger was stunned for a moment and asked.

Dong Zhen smiled, did not answer, just waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go!"

The soldier understood what Dong Zhen meant, his eyes suddenly turned red, he lay on the ground, kowtowed a few times, got up, mounted his horse and left as fast as flying.

"I made a mistake, so I should be punished!" Looking at his back, Dong Zhen said softly.

Because of greed, he easily abandoned the villages on the border.

If this were not the case, considering the dangerous location of those villages and the facilities inside, it would definitely not be a problem to defend them for three to five days.

But now, the enemy has won without a fight.

One hundred Weining infantry formed a small formation, with shields outside, spears at the back, and crossbows in the middle. Although there were only more than a hundred people, this small formation was well-organized.

It's just that their enemies are hundreds of cavalry.

Everyone's faces were full of despair.

A military formation that is not thick enough cannot cope with the impact of so many cavalry.

"Go and shout, surrender without killing!" Shengman moved forward and pursed his lips impatiently.

He wanted to catch big fish, but there were always some small shrimps appearing in front of him.

Commander Yue Tengyue said that indiscriminate killing is not allowed and all those who surrender must be accepted, because appeasing the envoys Xiao Cheng and Xiao Futai requires a lot of young and strong labor.

Shengman dare not violate it.

Compared to Xiao Futai, he is just a small shrimp.

The shouts of the soldiers had no effect. Instead, they were met with a hail of arrows. The soldiers who fled back in embarrassment also had several feather arrows hanging on their bodies. They looked ridiculous as they flicked around.

Shengman actually laughed.

They were given the opportunity, but they didn't know how to cherish it. They can't blame themselves for that.

With a choking sound, he pulled out his sword.

"Prepare to attack!"

Hundreds of riders shouted in unison.

At an order, one hundred cavalrymen with the best equipment rushed out first.

These one hundred men are equipped with the best cavalry armor inlaid with steel plates in the army today, and they are holding divine arm bows loaded with crossbows in their hands, acting as the army's assaulters to break the formation.

The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and hundreds of cavalrymen dispersed and attacked from all directions.

There are not many people, but it seems that they are everywhere in the mountains and plains.

The infantry phalanx needs to be attacked from all sides, and the arrows fired by the few crossbowmen appear even more sparse. Their foot bows are indeed stronger than ordinary mounted bows, but they are a bit difficult to deal with against fast-running horses.

There is nothing you can do. If you cannot suppress it with covering shots, the scattered arrows will depend more on luck if you want to hit the lightning-fast cavalry.

But they are live targets for cavalry's crossbows.

They cannot move at will.

If there is any movement, loopholes will appear in the tight formation. As long as one point goes wrong, the entire formation will collapse.

The armor on their bodies was originally able to block the opponent's cavalry bow, but it was powerless against the divine arm bow.

When the divine arm bows in the hands of the cavalry fired crossbow arrows with a sharp whistle, screams continued to be heard.

The cavalry on the opposite side crossed each other with superb riding skills, and the tight formation suddenly had several gaps due to the baptism of the God's Arms' crossbows.

Immediately, war horses poured in from the gap.

Although the spears from the left and right pierced immediately, stabbing the horses and people, the huge force of the running horses still kept running forward after being shot. The infantry who were unwilling to give up the spears in their hands were dragged forward.

The gap became larger, so several more cavalrymen rushed in.

The saber flashed and blood splattered.

The phalanx was breached in the blink of an eye.

Some infantrymen dropped their weapons and ran wildly, but were immediately caught up by the cavalry. They leaned over and waved their swords. The running infantry took a few steps forward before falling to the ground.

Some infantrymen squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, giving everything they had to God.

He will not be hacked to death by cavalry or trampled to death by war horses.

These are usually experienced veterans.

At this time, running around is the way to death.

Hundreds of cavalrymen passed through the formation, and all the guys who were still standing in front of them or running within their sight fell in a pool of blood.

A dozen of the cavalrymen also fell, and there were a few more ownerless horses on the battlefield.

The cavalry troops continued to move forward without much pause, and the unmanned horses also ran forward with the large troops.

There was no trace of the cavalry. Among the corpses on the ground, some people stood up unsteadily. They gasped in shock, then each found a direction and fled in panic.

At this time, it is better not to travel together. It is best to take off your armor and uniforms and escape into the mountains.

After the cavalry passes, a large group of infantry will naturally come over.

If you don't want to be a prisoner, you have to run away.

Ma Shang took his 300 cavalrymen on another route, and matching his narrow path was a group of Weining cavalry.

Ma Shang was overjoyed and was about to launch an attack when one of the Weining cavalrymen who were relying on him on the opposite side ran out.

"Are they the Ma Shang brothers across the way?"

Hearing the cry, Ma Shang was stunned, rode forward, and looked at his opponent carefully.

"I am Hogg from Ah Tou!" the rider on the other side shouted, "I want to defect to Mr. Xiao, is that okay?"

Ma Shang was stunned for a moment before reacting: "The Hogg on the head?"

"Yes, we no longer want to follow Dong Kui, but there is no other way. Ma Shang, can you introduce him to us?"

"If you want to see Mr. Xiao, I have no choice, but if you want to defect to General Yue Teng, I can naturally be your middleman!" Ma Shang laughed. He could defeat others without fighting, and he could also strengthen his own strength.

This is a good thing.

The two gathered together to discuss quietly for a while. Hogg's dozens of cavalry were immediately reorganized, and Ma Shang's cavalry of more than 300 people also grew to 400 cavalry, marching forward in a mighty way.

One day later, Wang Zhu arrived at Maobian Village.

Looking up at the dangerous village located halfway up the mountain, Wang Zhu frowned.

Dong Zhen was worthy of being an experienced general. He tried his best to gather nearly 3,000 men and fled into Maobian Stronghold to defend themselves.

"It's not easy to fight!" Yue Teng beside him shook his head repeatedly. Maobian Village was built on a small flat land halfway up the mountain. Half of the village was leaning against a cliff. The attack surface that could be spread out in front was less than twenty feet at most.

It is impossible to form a formation at all. "It would be good if we could take a detour and climb to the back mountain. It would be good to throw stones down from the mountain."

Wang Zhu chuckled.

"What's there to fight for?"

"No fight?" Yue Teng was stunned: "He is stuck on our key road. If we ignore him, he can harass our food road, attack our rear army, and let us not even have a peaceful sleep."

It won’t work.”

Wang Zhu pointed at the stockade: "According to the intelligence, there were less than a thousand people stationed in this stockade before. Now there are three thousand people crammed in at once. If nothing else, how long do you think the food in it can last?"

Yue Teng adjusted his eye mask to make himself more comfortable, and then said: "Generally speaking, the food stored in such a village will not last more than five days."

"Yes, five days for one thousand people, how many days can three thousand people hold up?"

"They will run out of food in two days at most!" Yue Teng suddenly understood.

Wang Zhu chuckled: "So, why do we need to fight? He will naturally come out in two days."

"But if we wait for two days, won't we also miss the opportunity to fight?" Yue Teng said, "Maybe Dong Kui will escape."

"Escape to Liupanshui?" Wang Zhu smiled and said, "Gao Yingxiang won't let him go, because Gao Yingxiang is also worried now! Yue Teng, you lead the Sirius Army cavalry and your Sky Eagle Army straight to Weining

, with Ma Shang, Sheng Man, Wu Jing, Kuai Peng, and by the way, the Hogg who just came over as the vanguard, these people are all prominent figures among the three barbarians in Xuzhou, some of them.

They are here, and the barbarian troops near Weining will definitely have their minds wavered."

"clear!"

"At that time, Dong Kui will definitely not dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy, nor will he dare to flee easily from the city, because he cannot judge whether these tribes will betray him. He can only huddle in the city to better control these tribes." Wang Zhu said.

"Don't worry about Gao Yingxiang, there is no way reinforcements will come from Liupanshui. The domestic situation in Dali is already in flames, and our Tianwu Army is pressing forward step by step. At this moment, Gao Yingxiang is in a state of confusion, and Dong Kui can still be taken care of there. He

Instead, they will force Dong Kui to stick to Weining and share the pressure for him!"

In Maobian Village, Dong Zhen looked at the Sirius Army who had begun to set up camp in an orderly manner at the foot of the mountain. Then he looked back at the crowded village and sighed silently.

Two days at most. After two days, he must launch an attack down the mountain.

But the enemies at the foot of the mountain can also guess this, so what will greet you when the time comes is bound to be a huge trap.

Destruction is something that can be expected.

I only hope that the two days I have gained can make Dong Kui of Weining more prepared and make the death of myself and the people in this village more valuable.

As night gradually fell, Wang Zhu sat cross-legged on the carpet and smiled at the civil servants and generals in the tent: "Dong Zhen wanted to stay with me for two days, but did he ever think about the other people in this village?

Don’t you want to die Kangran in two days?”

"What do you mean by the command, someone in the village will come to surrender?" someone asked.

Wang Zhu smiled and nodded: "Some people will come to surrender, and some people want to escape. In this world, I have not seen many people who can welcome death calmly, but there are many smart people, so tonight everyone will not

I think it’s time to take a rest and get ready to welcome the guests!”
