Chapter 84: The siege is coming)
Looking at the unusually quiet Fengxian City Tower in front of him, Ye Zheng felt vaguely uneasy for some reason.
Everything on the tower is unreasonable!
Weird!
The atmosphere at this time is really weird!
Why are there no officers and soldiers guarding the city on the city tower? Even if Feng County is an insignificant small county, there is no reason for the officers and soldiers not to guard the city overnight! Even if they send a few veterans to hide in the city tower
It's okay to drink, gamble, sleep, and just pretend.
However, on the Fengxian City Tower in front of us, they did not do this!
What exactly is this situation? Why did Fengxian County react so abnormally? Ye Zheng was secretly puzzled.
At this time, everyone is running at high speed and is less than a hundred steps away from the city of Feng County. Everyone has already gathered their strength, holding weapons and swords in hand, and is ready to fight at any time!
At the front of the team was a group of agile brothers. They were all lightly dressed and held hooks for climbing city walls and towers. After a while, everyone quietly approached the tower.
When the time comes, they will directly climb up the city tower under the cover of Liu Chengfeng and other experts, then climb into the city gate and open the city gate to let their brothers in.
However, at this moment, a burst of green smoke silently drifted in the direction of Ye Zheng and others with the breeze.
At this time, Ye Zheng took a sniff and suddenly felt a strange smell of smoke entering his nostrils. At that moment, he felt something was wrong. He immediately waved his hands and suddenly ordered in a deep voice: "Go ahead, everyone.
I stopped moving forward, and suddenly I felt something was wrong!"
As soon as he said this, someone immediately passed on his order. Suddenly, thousands of people stopped and stayed there in confusion, waiting for the leader's order.
At this time, Ye Zheng immediately summoned all the village leaders to his side and whispered: "Immediately divide into four teams and spread out for me to see if there is anything weird in the wild outside the city gate.
Also, why does this smoke smell so weird? Send someone to find out where the smoke is coming from."
After the leaders heard this, they all took orders to go down to investigate.
At this time, Liu Chengfeng, who was standing behind Ye Zheng, heard that he smelled a strange smell of smoke. He took a few deep breaths and suddenly, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, as if he had noticed something abnormal.
.
Liu Chengfeng pondered for a moment, then his face suddenly changed and he exclaimed: "No, this is the smell of smoke! We are afraid that we have been ambushed by officers and soldiers!"
He raised his head and saw Ye Zheng looking at him with a questioning look on his face. He suddenly realized in his heart, and he explained anxiously: "Leader, you don't know, this weird smoke is actually made by the Taoist priests from the Tianshi Sect sent by the imperial court.
The poison that comes out is called Powder Smoke. It smells weird when it is lit. After ordinary people inhale it, it will not cause any serious harm. But if people like me who practice martial arts and practice martial arts inhale it, the body-protecting Gang Qi they have cultivated will be lost.
, will soon disappear and disperse, and it will have to wait until twelve o'clock before it can slowly recover. This scattered local garrison does not exist at all. Only elite troops above the level of the regular army in the state city can deal with it.
Equip this thing. The main intention of the imperial court to equip the army with this thing is to deal with those warriors and martial arts masters who have practiced Gang Qi. As long as we are caught by this scattered gang smoke, the strength of us warriors and martial arts masters will be greatly reduced.
We can only fight against others with our own strength. Leader, you are a saint, and your cultivation is as high as the heavens. These inferior things will definitely not make things difficult for you, but our situation is not good."
When Ye Zheng heard this, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly issued an order: "Hurry up and notify the leaders of the five teams I just sent out, and ask them to come back quickly. We may have fallen into the cunning plot and ambush of the officers and soldiers..."
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, a large number of well-equipped and brave officers and soldiers poured out of several wild mountains and forests outside the county town. For a moment, the cold and loud shouts of killing were loud and loud!
"Kill, kill, kill!..."
Immediately, the three thousand bandits staying outside the county seat all changed their faces when they saw this change. They all panicked and clenched their weapons, preparing for a fierce battle with the officers and soldiers who were ambushing and attacking.
At this time, the masters and leaders of the five teams of copycats who had just been sent out by Ye Zheng to investigate were summoned back by Ye Zheng's people in time.
The leader of a small village came to Ye Zheng with a panicked expression and said in an anxious tone: "Leader, we were ambushed by officers and soldiers, what should we do now?"
Ye Zheng was extremely nervous at the moment. He suppressed his uneasiness and asked calmly: "Don't panic, don't panic. You guys should have clearly seen the situation ahead when you rushed forward. Now I ask you, ambushed
How many officers and soldiers are there? What are their equipment and weapons? And what kind of arms are they?"
The man heard his question, thought for a moment, and quickly replied: "To the leader of the alliance, except for the direction of the city tower directly in front, there are ambushes from the government in the other three directions outside the city. There are about 100 people ambush in each direction."
There were about 200 people. When they just retreated, I observed carefully that all the ambush soldiers were wearing flying leopard light armor, and their strength was above the level of a first-level warrior. Moreover, I saw that when they rushed out, they walked in unison.
They are powerful and can keep their formations dispersed and not chaotic during the running process. Therefore, my subordinates are sure that these three ambush troops are definitely the regular army of the state and city that have undergone rigorous training! The situation tonight is very important to me.
We are at a disadvantage!”
Ye Zheng really didn't expect this person to have such detailed insight in such a critical situation. At that moment, his eyes lit up and he secretly remembered the appearance and characteristics of this little village leader. At the same time, he deliberately pretended to be confident.
With a domineering look, he sneered: "There are only six hundred officers and soldiers, and they want to ambush our three thousand gangster coalition. It's just a dream. Send me an order and order everyone to go all out to meet them. Give me the ambush of those soldiers."
The officers and soldiers fought back, what the hell are they regular troops from the city, hum! I will beat them tonight until I don’t even recognize my parents!”
After giving the order, many bandit men with nervous expressions immediately appeared and hurriedly took orders to prepare for the battle.
In the wilderness outside Fengxian City, well-equipped regular troops were arranged in neat formations from three different directions: east, west, and north, and quickly attacked the three thousand bandit coalition forces staying outside the city gate.
I saw only 600 regular troops in ambush. When they came less than a hundred steps away from Ye Zheng's bandit army, they suddenly divided from the original three formations into six square formations. Each square formation consisted of one hundred soldiers.
Formed, the phalanx is divided into four rows, each with twenty-five soldiers. The row of soldiers at the front of the phalanx are twenty-five shield soldiers. Each of them holds a half-man-high shield in his left hand.
with a strong shield and a long steel sword in his right hand; the second row of soldiers following closely behind were twenty-five spearmen, each holding an eight-foot-long sharp spear in their hands; the third row of soldiers
and the fourth row are all spearmen. The one hundred regular troops who form the square formation, the distance between each row is no more, no less, exactly three steps, and everyone advances in an orderly and uniform pace, without any disorder!
Although the hundred-man phalanx of officers and soldiers has not yet fought against the three thousand bandits, the bravery they exude and the iron-blooded spirit that has been battle-tested can overwhelm the three thousand bandits under Ye Zheng.
Get angry.
