Chapter 195 Winning
"Hmph, don't be too happy too early, everything has just begun..." Xu Zizheng had a cold smile on his lips, and then slowly backed away. The trend of extinction.

Gu Shiyong glanced at Sima Xukong, and after seeing the other side nodded, he waved and said, "The left-wing army and the right-wing army obey the order and form a formation to meet the enemy..."

"kill--"

As soon as the order was issued, Long Rui's soldiers rushed out like a rainbow.

Sima Xukong had significantly more soldiers and horses than Xu Zizheng, and Sima Xurun kept firing sniper arrows behind him, which made it very difficult for Xu Jiajun to fight.

Seeing the rapidly changing situation on the field, Xu Zizheng's lieutenant general said with a little worry: "My lord, our soldiers may not last long. Send out a signal and send reinforcements over."

"That's right, my lord, attacking back and forth will surely wipe out Sima Xukong."

"Front and back?" Xu Zizheng sneered and said, "Did you forget that there are people from the second prince behind us?"

"But those guys have been hungry for several days, and they must have no strength. When they fought just now, they were like limp pussies. They have no lethality at all. The subordinates feel that they don't need to be regarded as opponents. .”

Xu Zizheng shook his head, and said with a sneer: "But when Sima Xukong came, he became their last hope, the desire to survive, inspired the strongest fighting spirit in their bodies, and this kind of fighting spirit is often the most terrifying. It can have unexpected effects."

"Then, what do you mean..."

With his eyes narrowed, Xu Zizheng said in a low voice: "We must win this battle, and we must win the beauty, and wipe out Long Rui's people... So now, let the reinforcements bring the giant crossbow flying feathers ..."

Upon hearing this, the generals couldn't help but change their expressions slightly, and said, "That's our top secret weapon, isn't it too early to take it out now?"

"It's just the first time we're fighting, my lord, let's play it safe and repel Long Rui's army first."

In the face of everyone's persuasion, Xu Zizheng seemed to be determined, and said stubbornly: "That weapon was originally intended to deal with Sima Xukong. Now that there is a chance to wipe it out in one fell swoop, why keep it? And it is now It's time, he hasn't figured out our strength yet, so he definitely won't dare to act rashly, wouldn't it be great if we could do it overnight?"

Seeing that Xu Zizheng could not be persuaded, everyone had to follow his request and sent a signal flare to the sky.

The thick colored smoke also caught Sima Xukong's attention. He looked up at the sky and murmured: "It seems that they can't stand it any longer."

"My lord, why don't you attack with all your strength now, anyway, they won't last long, if they can capture Xu Zizheng alive, that would be great..."

The more the lieutenant thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, so he began to lobby the people around him.

However, Sima Xukong looked at the battle ahead calmly, and said slowly: "The soldiers in our hands are not as good as Xu's army in terms of overall quality. They have been practicing for nearly a year, and they cooperate with each other tacitly, so they are fighting protracted battles." We have no advantage. But if we continue to attack now, they will retreat, kill the soldiers of the second prince first, and even capture the second prince as a threat. Rescuing the Second Prince safely is the top priority."

Hearing this, the deputy general could only look forward with a little regret, thinking that if there was no such burden as the second prince, perhaps today, he could eliminate harm for the people and kill Xu Zizheng.

Gu Shiyong took out the map and studied it again, and said: "If you want to rescue the second prince, you can only drive the people of the Xu family army to that mountain stream, and find a way to force the Xu family army back from there, and the second prince will be saved. Just wait for them The arrival of the reinforcements, I am afraid that we will become active instead of passive, so we should seize the opportunity now and beat the Xu family to the ground first, so that the reinforcements behind will not dare to act presumptuously."

"Okay, just like Vice General Gu said, adjust the combat direction and force the Xu family army back to the left..."

After receiving the order, the herald started waving the flag, and the soldiers turned around and attacked Xu's army from the side, forcing them to retreat slowly into the mountain stream.

The scene seemed to be developing in a direction that was beneficial to Long Rui's army, but it didn't take long for Long Rui's officers and soldiers to hear a loud "rumbling" sound coming from behind them. They couldn't help but turned around and found a strange looking thing. It's coming here slowly.

"My lord, what do you see that thing?"

Looking carefully at the machine shaped like a bird's wing, Sima Xukong snorted coldly: "Hmph, Xu Zizheng has finally been forced to use his trump card. I really want to see what good things he can have..."

"However, this thing is weird, my lord, let's be careful."

Looking at the thing that was getting closer, Sima Xukong said calmly: "A machine is nothing more than acting on behalf of a human. It is fast and ruthless. But its shortcomings are also obvious. It is inconvenient to move and cannot protect itself. When in the capital, Because we have unique conditions and can protect the machine, we will win a big victory. But now, in this remote place, how will Xu Zizheng protect his treasure? This is all about setting up a target for us to attack... If If we don't do something, we will really disappoint him..."

Seeing Sima Xu's confident appearance, Gu Shiyong couldn't help asking: "Is there any good way, my lord, to deal with this big guy?"

"The gunpowder I asked you to prepare can be used now." Sima Xukong put his hands in front of his body and said unhurriedly, "Machine also has weaknesses, and its weakness is the material it is made of. "

After hearing Sima Xukong's words, everyone also understood, hurriedly passed on the order, took out the gunpowder that had been prepared a long time ago, pointed it at the machine, and threw it viciously with the projectile crossbow.

One after another, sparks bloomed on the giant crossbow feathers, making people's eyes hurt.

Looking at the flying feathers of the giant crossbow with cold eyes, Xu Zizheng said with a sneer: "Does he think this little thing can hurt the flying feathers of the giant crossbow? It's really a dream... Soon, they will suffer It's..."

Seeing that the gunpowder failed to stop the giant crossbow flying feathers from moving forward, everyone couldn't help but secretly startled, turned to look at Sima Xukong and said, "My lord, that thing doesn't seem to be afraid of gunpowder..."

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Sima Xukong said with a smile: "It seems that the material of this thing is indeed extraordinary, and Xu Zizheng has also put in some effort."

After the words fell, I saw that the giant crossbow flying feathers suddenly spread its wings like a bird. The broad wings formed a semi-circle. ahead.

The main force was attacking Xu Zizheng in front, so the remaining officers and soldiers were all guard officers and soldiers. Facing such a powerful and ferocious attack, they were caught off guard and caused great casualties and losses.

Seeing that the second half of Long Rui's army was beaten into a mess, Xu Zizheng couldn't help raising his arms proudly, and said, "Do you think that you are the only one who can use fire? This is my territory, and I will let you have a good taste. What is merciless..."

Sima Xukong kept retreating under the cover, fixed his eyes on the huge machine, and said, "No wonder this thing is not afraid of fire, it was born for fire."

Gu Shiyong saw that the situation was dangerous, so he shouted loudly: "Iron Shield Hand, come and protect the prince..."

As the order was issued, the iron shield immediately guarded Sima Xukong tightly behind him, blocking out all the flames soaring into the sky.

With his eyes fixed on the front, Gu Shiyong frowned like an earthworm, and said anxiously: "This is not the way to go, the iron shield will be extremely hot when it encounters fire, and the officers and soldiers will not be able to bear it if this continues..."

"The attacks are getting stronger and stronger, I'm afraid our people will not be able to hold on..."

"If we fall here, this machine will slowly erode our soldiers and horses, and we will definitely lose in the end..."

These worried words made Sima Xukong frowned slightly, and then he ordered in a cold voice: "Let the quartermaster deliver the cold-proof clothes to the Iron Shielder immediately, and let the soldiers wrap these thick clothes around their arms and shoulders. At the same time , and then order people to transfer water..."

"Water? My lord, where can I get water at this time...?"

Looking sideways at the soldiers beside him, Sima Xukong said: "Did you forget that when you went up the mountain, there was a stream half a mile away from here? It's not far from here, and it's not far from here. Use a car to bring water here. Remember, hurry up... ..."

"Yes……"

According to Sima Xukong's instructions, everyone acted quickly, either to help the iron shielder resist the attack of the giant crossbow flying feathers, or to lead the elite soldiers to fetch water, or to go to the vanguard of the camp and concentrate their firepower to attack the Xu family army.

Looking coldly at the marching deployment of Long Rui's army, Xu Zizheng said disdainfully: "Huh, with mere manpower, you still want to resist my giant crossbow flying feathers? It's ridiculous... It won't be long before Sima Xukong can't bear it." With such an attack, we will be able to easily wipe out Long Rui and his mob..."

Xu Zizheng's words gave everyone confidence, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before today's victory was won.

Looking at the ferocious expressions of the iron shield fighters, one could tell that they were about to reach their limit.The fiery red pain burned their skin, and every minute they endured was a test of patience.Gradually, some people couldn't bear the pain anymore, and collapsed on the ground with their arms folded. Without the protection of the iron shield, they were quickly swallowed by the flames.

The fallen partner made the rest of the people even more afraid to take it lightly. Their feet hit the ground hard, biting their lips, desperately trying to protect Sima Xukong's safety.

But fortunately, the team that transported the spring water came back quickly, carried down the huge wooden barrels one by one, and placed them in the positions designated by Sima Xukong.

The clear spring water shocked Sima Xukong, and ordered: "Come here, take out the hose, aim at the enemy's machine, step on the pump, and shoot..."

"Yes……"

Although I don't know if Sima Xukong's arrangement is effective, but the current Long Rui army can only put all their hopes on this spring, and shoot at the giant crossbow flying feathers forcefully,
The hose and the pressure pump were originally worried that the army would go to a place without water. After digging a well first, the water could be pumped up by pressure for drinking.Unexpectedly, what was hit by mistake has become a life-saving tool now.

Seeing Sima Xukong using water as a weapon to attack the giant crossbow flying feathers, Xu Zizheng couldn't help but change his face, and asked, "Where did they get the water?"

The general who had just chased after the team reported back: "During the tracking process, I saw them go down the mountain. There is a stream there, and they brought a lot of water from there."

After hearing this, Xu Zizheng's complexion changed, and he said angrily: "Damn it, didn't I ask you to block the stream? Why didn't you follow my orders... How could Sima Xu take advantage of this loophole..."

Xu Zizheng's rage caused all the generals to look at each other in blank dismay, while the faces of the few who knew the reason were ashen.

Staring viciously at a Confucian general with a goatee, Xu Zizheng asked coldly, "Master Zhang, tell me what's going on..."

Mr. Zhang shrank his shoulders, and said helplessly, "Because... because Mr. Prime Minister said that we should also keep a water source for ourselves, so we didn't block it."

"Hmph, keep the water source? I didn't see if I could leave a way out for myself. Anyway, I left a way out for Sima Xukong... Do you regard me as your master? If you don't listen to me, you will Do you listen to him..."

After hearing this, everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and said, "This subordinate dare not..."

"Huh, I said I dare not, but I also see that you have disobeyed me a lot... You better remember, who is the one who can control your life... This matter is not over yet, I will definitely punish you when I go back The crime committed..."

The few people affected by this incident lowered their heads in anxiety.They are worthy of Xu Zizheng's vicious temper. Now that he said so, he would definitely not spare others lightly.Now that he is so angry, he still doesn't know how to deal with him. Guess he will calm down... It seems that this time he must ask Xu Shikang for mercy, otherwise, no matter what his identity is, he will suffer...

The officials involved in the confiscation are more concerned about the current battle situation.Looking at the giant crossbow Feng Ling, I saw that the machine that was standing there just now like an invincible overlord was now extinguished by the spray of water.The craftsman who manipulated the machine wanted to avoid the water spray, but due to the clumsiness of the machine, it was difficult to move. If he took one step back, Long Rui's army could advance ten steps.

Seeing that Long Rui's people were about to rush over and completely surround the giant crossbow flying feathers, the people below couldn't help asking eagerly: "My lord, what should we do now?"

"What else can I do? Of course, we must keep the machine, and let people quickly retreat the giant crossbow feathers so that they cannot be destroyed. No matter what, we must keep the machine... At the same time, we must find a way to draw Sima Xukong's attention to Here, he has no time to track down the giant crossbow flying feathers."

Although Xu Zizheng arranged it this way, but now Sima Xukong is about to surround the giant crossbow flying feathers. When the time comes to control the skillful craftsman, he can easily get the machine. What can make him stop now?

Xu Zizheng himself knew this kind of problem, so he looked hard, and ordered in a cold voice: "Now pass on the order, order our people to pretend to be defeated and evacuate from the mountain stream, so that Sima Xukong will I won't be entangled with the machine anymore... Isn't he here to rescue the Second Prince?"

"But...wouldn't this be too dangerous?"

Looking at everyone with dark eyes, Xu Zizheng's voice sounded like ice that had been frozen for thousands of years, and said angrily, "Remember, no matter how dangerous the situation is, it was all caused by you...action..."

Although everyone bit the bullet, nodded and said: "Yes..."

Seeing the machine gradually losing its fighting power, He Nuo asked happily: "My lord, how do you know that strange thing is afraid of water?"

"Since it is not afraid of fire, it is of the same nature as fire. And fire is afraid of water, so this machine is probably also afraid of water." Looking at He Nuo with a smile, Sima Xukong said, "Besides, even if it Not afraid of water, at least it can put out the fire and save our officers and soldiers."

"My lord is right." He Nuo was about to say something more, when he saw the Xu family army moving slowly behind him, he couldn't help but said in surprise, "Hey, where are they going? Could it be that they can't beat us, are they going to retreat?" ?”

Looking up in that direction, Sima Xukong said with an expected expression: "They didn't expect us to find the water source, and found that this thing is the dead spot of the machine. Now they definitely don't want us to destroy the machine, so they want to make a fuss. , use the body as bait to keep the machine."

"This Xu Zizheng really worked hard for this thing. Hey, since he cherishes this thing so much, let's just destroy that strange thing. On the one hand, it will frustrate his spirit, and on the other hand, it will also save it. I'll kill someone later..."

To this, Sima Xukong disagreed, and said: "Since we already know its weakness, even if we keep it, there is nothing to be afraid of. However, the second prince may not last long now, and his subordinates don't know what is left. How many soldiers, let's rescue them first."

He Nuo couldn't help but feel sorry for seeing the opportunity he got, but missing it because of the Second Prince.But there is no way, who made the second prince the purpose of this expedition?Now I can only rescue that prince first, and then consider other things.

Xu Jiajun's reinforcements retreated like a tide, and Xu Zizheng also led his troops to retreat to the mountain stream. Sima Xukong took half of the troops and chased after him. Direction, continue to the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, Sima Xukong saw the Second Prince sitting on a rock in a state of embarrassment, with a dark face, only a pair of eyes, like a lone wolf in the wilderness, staring at Sima Xukong viciously.Looking at the others, at least half of the generals in the barracks were lost, and those who survived were also lingering, dying, relying on each other, and had no strength to cheer for the rest of their lives.

When Sima Xukong saw the second prince's gaze, he knew that the second prince must not have realized the mistake he made, and it was very likely that he would have to blame him for this.
