I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 551 The Power of the Martial Saint (Two in One)

More than a thousand rockets lit up the sky, pouring down like heavy rain!

Then, the rockets illuminated the camp like daylight, and the tents in the camp were instantly ignited by fierce fire.

Chang Xi's eyes widened in an instant.

Zang Ba and others who were hiding in the camp, waiting for Zhang Fei to rush in, did not wait for the Hebei Army. Instead, what they waited for was countless arrows.

Seeing the tents being set on fire one by one, Zang Ba's heart seemed to be bleeding.

Although he is a handsome man, he is not rich either. In these days, for ordinary local forces, every piece of military supplies is extremely important. For the people of this era, every tent is expensive to make. They are all hard-won, and the scarcity of materials is the most significant feature of this era.

As Zhang Fei issued the order, the second attack began.

The sound of horns resounded in the night sky. Zhao Jun turned to the messenger and shouted loudly: "When you send orders to the troops, you must seize the opportunity and don't launch rockets too early!"

Then he said to a messenger standing next to him: "Ask all the infantry troops to prepare for the attack to prevent the bandits from breaking out of the camp. Once the enemy bandits break out of the camp, immediately launch a counterattack!"

Zhang Fei looked at the fire in Zang Ba's camp and said with a smile to the lieutenant behind him: "Look at the northwest style today. It's so big. Even God is willing to help."

The deputy general behind him suddenly whispered: "General, strong northwest wind will indeed help the fire. Excessive fire is indeed very effective in attacking the enemy. But if the fire is too strong, will it also help Zang Ba and Chang Xi escape? "

"Yes! That's exactly what you said. Send an order to Zhao Jun. The rockets should not exceed five rounds at most. Let the infantry and spear troops be in the front line at any time to deal with the enemy."

"Here!"

However, there was no need to wait for five rounds of arrows, just after the second round, Zang Ba changed his strategy.

Regardless of whether Zhang Fei saw through his own ambush, if they let them shoot arrows and set fire to his camp so endlessly, not only would the baggage and supplies be burned, but their ambush would also be exposed sooner or later.

In this case, then fight to the death with the other party head-on!

Zang Ba thought to himself, he had [-] soldiers, could he still not defeat the opponent's [-] soldiers?

"Come on, brothers..."

Zang Ba turned over and mounted his horse, reached out to take the weapon, and suddenly roared loudly.

The wild nature of these soldiers had already been aroused by the fire in the camp. They rushed out of the camp gate without hesitation amidst Zang Ba's shouts.

Seeing Zang Ba's army charging out from the camp, Zhang Fei suddenly smiled on his face.

Zhang Fei raised the snake spear from his side to his chest, then laughed and shouted at the Liaodong soldiers behind him: "My sons, you are all under Yunchang. I didn't have much contact with you in the past. I don’t know if you Liaodong soldiers are good at fighting, what your skills are, and whether they can be used in battle. Today, why don’t you let me have a good experience of the skills of you Liaodong athletes? Let me see if you are the best in the world in combat power and can be more powerful than the Han Dynasty. A fierce warrior!"

Then, Zhang Fei was seen pointing the snake spear in his hand towards the camp in the distance: "Let them see how sharp our Yanzhao men are!"

Then, Zhang Fei was seen leading the way, leading a group of guards towards Zang Ba and his group not far away.

Zhang Fei didn't know much about the soldiers of Liaodong, and he was far less familiar with their combat mechanisms than Zhao Jun. In this case, he might as well hand over the command of the troops to Zhao Jun, and he himself would charge into the battle to boost the combat effectiveness and morale of the soldiers of the three armies.

Sure enough, Zhang Fei's method of fighting is still very effective. The sergeants of the Liaodong Army are inherently ferocious and very good at fighting!

Now, under the leadership of Zhang Fei, his morale is even higher and his fighting spirit is more abundant.

Soon, soldiers from both sides were seen violently colliding together in the dark night outside the camp gate, and there was a loud roar in front of the camp gate.

Flames burned in Zang Ba's camp, and the shouts of killing resounded in everyone's eardrums under the dark sky.

And in the east of this dark night, Guan Yu and Xiao Jian were leading two thousand elites in a hurry.

The blazing fire and the fierce shouts of killing had already marked the fight between Zhang Fei and Zang Ba. Xiao Jian rode his horse to Guan Yu's side. Upon seeing this, he hurriedly said: "General Guan, General Zhang has already fought with Zang Ba." , let’s quickly raid the Zang thief’s rear and support General Zhang.”

Guan Yu was in a very calm state at this time. He slowly rode forward, stroking his long beard while looking at the battlefield in the distance.

"Don't worry, just wait a while. As raiders, we must seize the opportunity to launch a raid."

Xiao Jian really didn't understand what Guan Yu meant by this.

His brothers have already fought against Zang Ba. Isn't this the best time to go to help?
But Guan Yu felt too arrogant and cold to Xiao Jian.

Xiao Jian didn't dare to ask him directly about some things.

Therefore, although Xiao Jian had some doubts in his heart, he couldn't open his mouth.

Of course, for Guan Yu, he did have his own considerations.

These four thousand Liaodong soldiers are all warriors he has trained over the years. They are all brave and good at fighting. They have been traveling in bitter and cold places such as Hanzhou in the north of the country and Liaodong all year round. They have rich combat experience and they are all strong soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles.

According to Guan Yu's opinion, his four thousand elites could completely crush Zang Ba's five thousand Xuzhou soldiers.

He was confident that even if he was not in a hurry to support him, the four thousand soldiers would still be able to defeat Zang Ba head-on, so he stretched the time a little longer, made his morale weaker, and made Zang Ba panic a little more, and then If you suddenly lead your troops to cover up the enemy, it will be more effective.

The truth was exactly what he thought.

Guan Yu's soldiers are not only experienced in hundreds of battles and extremely brave, but they have also participated in many night battles over the years and have rich experience in night battles.

The fact is just as Guan Yu thought. These four thousand elite soldiers from Liaodong, coupled with Zhao Jun's proper command, and Zhang Fei's bravery in killing the enemy, it didn't take long to defeat Zang Ba's five thousand elite soldiers. Showing the potential for collapse.

Faced with this situation, Zang Ba couldn't stand it anymore.

These five thousand elite soldiers were the most skilled soldiers under his command, but in front of these four thousand Hebei soldiers, they could not stand for even a moment.

Especially in tonight's battle, our side was the ambush party and was fully prepared. Although the ambush was not successful, their morale and fighting spirit had been adjusted to the highest level, but they were still no match for the other side.

Moreover, Zang Ba always believed that his army was the best at night fighting.

Who would have thought that in this regard, the opponent's level is several levels higher than that of our own soldiers.

Zang Ba was extremely angry and frightened.

He never expected that his careful design would have no effect at all.

Zhang Fei did not have any arrangements in advance, but he was able to handle it with ease. This made Zang Ba's previous confidence in himself suddenly disappear, and he began to have doubts about what he was doing.

Perhaps, I really put my status a little too high.

"Assault!"

Zhang Fei roared loudly, swung his snake spear hard, and knocked two Taishan Army soldiers away from the spot, and then stabbed a knight who rushed up to death with another spear.

"Who will die!"

A roar like huge thunder resounded through the night sky.

After some operations, the mentality of the Taishan soldiers present was shaken.

Although the number of people killed by Zhang Fei was not a big deal to the Taishan soldiers, the general's bravery in killing the enemy could indeed greatly stimulate their fighting power and fighting spirit for the soldiers below.

Facing Zhang Fei in this state, most of the soldiers of the Taishan Army were trembling. The soldiers at the front did not dare to step forward to challenge him. On the other hand, the soldiers of the Liaodong Army were driven by Zhang Fei to be extremely brave.The soldiers of Liaodong had high morale and charged desperately. Each one seemed to be possessed by the god of war, pressing forward without fear of life or death.

The Taishan Army, which was originally rushing in from outside the camp, was suppressed back at this moment, and retreated bit by bit towards the inside of the camp.

When the soldiers in the front line retreated, the attack space of the soldiers in Zang Ba's camp at the rear would naturally be squeezed, causing a certain degree of chaos.

And panic is contagious.

Soon, some of Taishan's army began to disperse in all directions.

This situation naturally frightened Zang Ba.

He is also a battle-hardened hero, so he can naturally see that this state of his own soldiers is a precursor to defeat! !

Zang Ba was very anxious, and he decided to go to the front line in person, as his commander-in-chief, to boost the morale of the three armies, stabilize the situation, and prevent the army from collapsing.

But at this time, the scouts from the rear hurriedly reported to him that a troop of troops was coming towards them from the south.

Most of the soldiers in the camp were fighting bravely with Zhang Fei's army in the east, which made the defense in the south extremely weak. The army of about a thousand people marched straight in, had already passed the east gate, and was now rushing towards Zang. Come quickly to where Ba is.

When Zang Ba heard this, he was suddenly shocked.

"how is this possible?"

"Zhang Fei's thousands of troops are here, and Tao Qian went south to confront Zhou Yu. How could there be more than a thousand soldiers coming to attack my stronghold?"

The scout said nervously: "My subordinates vaguely saw that the clothing and clothing of the soldiers and horses seemed to be Xiao Jian's soldiers and horses from the East China Sea..."

When Zang Ba heard this, his lungs almost exploded.

It turns out that this beast is causing trouble!
"Who is Xiao Jian? He dares to attack my stronghold! I have called him many times, but he has refused to come. Now he dares to take advantage of the situation. He is simply seeking death!"

After saying that, Zang Ba ordered the people around him: "Come with me to the south gate! I want Xiao Jian to know how powerful I am, and I will personally cut off his head and become a wine lord!!"

No wonder Zang Ba is so angry.

In the northern border of Xuzhou, people like Xiao Jian are, to put it bluntly, just followers who follow Zang Ba and pick up Zang Ba’s leftovers. Now such people dare to sit on his neck and shit, you How can you not be angry when talking about Zang Ba?
Zang Ba temporarily handed over the battle against Zhang Fei to his two capable generals, and then he led [-] of the most elite soldiers and hurried toward the camp in the south.

……

At this time, Xiao Jian's soldiers had already entered the camp. They were not in a hurry to attack Zang Ba's rear army. Instead, they set fires everywhere in the camp, igniting the tents and luggage in Zang Ba's camp to disrupt Zang Ba's troops. Military morale.

Xiao Jian was a little nervous, because in the past few years, Zang Ba has indeed had a unique military presence in Xuzhou. Not to mention Xiao Jian's power, even Tao Qian's regular governor's department may not be Zang Ba's opponent.

Now he actually led 2000 people to attack Zang Ba's camp. This was something Xiao Jian would never have dared to think about before, unless he deliberately sought death.

Although he had the Hebei Army as his backing, Xiao Jian still felt uneasy.

Just as Xiao Jianzhan was tremblingly commanding his soldiers to light the baggage in Zang Ba's camp, he suddenly heard a sharp shout not far away.

"Xiao Jian, how dare you sneak up on me and attack my camp unprepared? I think you are tired of living. I will behead you today!"

After all, Zang Ba's prestige in the land of Xuzhou is too high. Now he shouted such a sudden voice. Although he has not yet met Xiao Jian, Xiao Jian himself is already splitting his liver and gallbladder.

Xiao Jian hurriedly turned his head to look at the place where the sound came from... and saw Zang Ba leading hundreds of elite soldiers and hurried towards his location with bared teeth.

Zang Ba was wearing heavy armor, carrying a long sword in his head, and a majestic horse on his hip, exuding a strong murderous aura.

Before they met, Xiao Jian's courage had already given out.

"Go, go! Go!"

Xiao Jian didn't even have the courage to face Zang Ba now. He hurriedly called to his guards to protect him, turned around and hurried away towards the rear.

In fact, if Xiao Jian didn't move, it would be difficult for Zang Ba to find him in the dark night.

But when Xiao Jian moved like this, the guards around him also retreated with him, and the movement became a bit loud...

This caused Zang Ba to immediately locate Xiao Jian's location by relying on the light of the fire.

Zang Ba stared at Xiao Jian with a kind look on his face, a sinister smile on his face.

"You thief, you have the guts to lead an army to raid my camp, but you don't have the guts to fight me face to face. You are really a courageous person!"

After saying that, Zang Ba suddenly clamped the horse's belly, forcefully waved the sword in his hand, and led a group of men to kill Xiao Jian in the direction of retreat.

Xiao Jian naturally saw Zang Ba's actions, and couldn't help but tremble with fear. He urged his men to run with him, and the horse whip in his hand was lost in the panic.

Zang Ba galloped ahead of all the soldiers, staring closely at Xiao Jian who was galloping not far ahead, wishing he could swallow him up.

But at this moment, a Biao army of about a hundred people emerged from the place where Xiao Jian rushed past.

Directly in front of the troops was a general with a red face and a long beard, carrying a Qinglong Yanyue Sword.

This man was glaring with contempt at Zang Ba, who was running towards him, with a look of disdain on his face.

Zang Ba suddenly saw this mighty general under the night sky. For some reason, an unprecedented fear suddenly rose in his heart. The feeling hit him like a tide, and he couldn't get rid of it for a while.

But he is, after all, a warrior who is skilled in battle formations and has been on the battlefield for many years.

Although the bearded general's momentum was strong, Zang Ba also quickly adjusted his state.

"If you are going to die, get out of the way."

Zang Ba shouted sharply at the long-bearded general.

Guan Yu heard Zang Ba's roar and was not angry.

He just looked at Zang Ba with a half-smile.

"How dare you be so arrogant as a rustic?"

As he was talking, Guan Yu slowly lifted up the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, pointed at Zang Ba from a distance, and shouted: "Those who sell their heads by inserting bids, come here!"

When Zang Ba saw that the coming general would not give way, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"I really want to die..."

After saying that, he suddenly clamped his horse's belly and rushed towards Guan Yu.

His soldiers followed closely behind, waving their weapons and shouting loudly to boost their morale.

As he approached Guan Yu, he saw a bright light suddenly passing through the air, and then he saw Zang Ba's head separated from his body, rolling back and forth in circles in the air, and finally landed with a "pop" sound. on the ground.

Just for a moment, the whole place suddenly fell into silence.
