Chapter 672: Assigning Opponents Before the Battle
"Mad, this is so frustrating."
Young general Bo Ce was very unhappy.
The way the Tang Dynasty defeated them was very simple, which was to attack both sides head-on.
But seven of the other side's ten most powerful ministers were dispatched, and Liu Batian, one of the three great generals of the Tang Dynasty, was also among them, none of them were ordinary people.
Two hundred thousand against two hundred thousand. The other side already had more generals, and Li Zhao was still present. The morale of the entire Tang Dynasty reached its peak.
There were also weapons such as thunder bombs and crossbows, which made it impossible for them to defend themselves.
At that time, he and the man named Xiao Tiansheng were fighting fiercely. Suddenly, two generals appeared on the flank, three to one. If he hadn't run fast, he might have stayed there.
"Who knew that Tianwu Kingdom was so useless. If we had defended the city and waited for Zheng Feiying to deal with Daqian's troops and then come to help us, we would have won this battle. But who knew that Zheng Feiying would actually lose to Lin Xiaofan."
Zhang Qi also felt aggrieved.
In this plan, he didn't need to face so many generals. But when Zheng Feiying was defeated, he had to follow suit.
"And the Great Qi is really loyal. When the Tang army rushed over, they just stood by and watched. They waited until we were done fighting before they came to reap the battlefield."
Jian Sheng was also indignant.
When the battle started, Da Qi was only 20 miles away from them. It took Da Qi four hours to travel this 20 miles.
Even if there are 200,000 pigs on full alert, it shouldn't take four hours, right?
"They didn't gain anything either. They are so useless. The Tang Dynasty was already at the end of its strength, and they could still fight them on equal terms."
Zhang Qi sneered.
If Da Qi was on the same page with them, even if Da Tang had more generals, it would not have suffered such a terrible defeat.
"A bunch of rats. I've long seen that they are unreliable."
Jian Sheng cursed.
He had fought against the army of Da Qi before, and they were indeed strong, but their generals were worse than the other.
There is no one who can beat him in a one-on-one fight. Usually, it takes two or three people to tie with him.
In terms of command ability, he was fooled by Zheng Feiying.
But he didn't feel anything at that time. It was not until they became allies that he realized how lame the people of Da Qi were.
Not to mention the Great Emperor of Qi, he placed the two strongest generals in the country at the border to guard their Tianlang Kingdom.
The generals who came were worse than the other.
At that time, he fought with Xiao Tiansheng for hundreds of rounds, and when the army was about to withdraw, the army of Da Qi arrived.
At that time, he watched with his own eyes as Xiao Tiansheng, who had exhausted most of his physical strength after fighting with him for hundreds of rounds, almost took down a general of Da Qi with three moves.
I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm afraid of pig-like teammates. Even if there was no Da Qi, their battle wouldn't have been so frustrating.
"This is really unbearable for humans."
Shi Zhen wiped the sweat from his head.
"General, many soldiers have suffered from heat stroke and can hardly walk. If this continues, people may die."
A soldier came to report.
Zhang Qi frowned and looked up at the sky. The sun was hanging in the middle. A gust of wind blew, like a heat wave.
Even though he had been riding on the horse, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Looking back, the soldiers were also complaining.
Morale was already low after the defeat, and the weather was so bad that no one wanted to move.
"Let's set up camp and wait until it's cooler before we go."
Zhang Qi said, "If we continue like this, by the time we get back to the capital, the soldiers won't even be able to lift their swords."
"If it really doesn't work, we can travel at night. There are no clouds in the sky, so we can see clearly at night."
"General, there is a forest about ten miles ahead. It might be so hot in Anzhai that we might die. How about we go to the forest?"
Yin Qian made a suggestion.
He was usually careful and meticulous, and he remembered the map of the way back clearly.
There is a large forest ahead, and it will probably take their team one or two days to get through it.
"Good idea. If we continue like this, someone will die."
Bai Ze said immediately.
"Pass the order and tell the brothers to hold on a little longer. There is a forest ten miles ahead. We can set up camp there when the time comes."
Zhang Qi said to the messenger beside him.
Hearing about the forest, the messenger's face showed visible surprise. He immediately slapped his horse's butt hard, and the horse under him neighed and ran back.
"Ten miles ahead is the forest. Set up camp there. Brothers, hold on!"
Ten miles is not far. Even with baggage and armor, they can get there in an hour at most.
After hearing the news, the soldiers quickened their pace.
More than half an hour later, a huge primeval forest appeared in their sight.
"Quick! Try harder!"
Bai Ce started to urge them on. In fact, without him saying anything, the soldiers' pace quickened.
The sun was blocked, and the soldiers looked much better. After the army had all entered, Zhang Qi immediately issued an order for the entire army to stop and set up camp on the spot.
Simple tents were built and the soldiers went inside to eat and drink.
Those who still had energy to spare took their bows and arrows and went into the forest to hunt game.
During the march, they ate mostly dry food. When they took a break, they would light the stove and make some broth mixed with dry food, minced meat, and vegetable leaves.
Game is a rare delicacy for them.
A small number of soldiers were patrolling around, but they were not serious. Even Yin Qian, who was always cautious, did not think there was anything wrong.
This is in the inland area of Tianlang Country. The probability of being attacked here is lower than the probability of the emperor being assassinated.
However, no one noticed that not far away, several dark shadows were hiding behind the trees, watching everything silently.
"The intelligence is not too far off. There are about 140,000 of them in total. There are five generals, and the strongest one, Shi Zhen, seems to be injured."
Lin Xiaofan went through all the information and then disappeared among the countless towering trees.
The other party did not set foot in the area where Lei Zhenzi was buried, and they had no intention of launching an attack.
"Haha, why do I feel so excited?"
Xu Wu had a smile on his face and his hands were shaking a little.
That’s an army of 140,000, and they are the elite of the Tianlang Kingdom.
Next, they will lead less than a thousand troops to attack and kill.
There was a bit of fear deep in his heart, but more of excitement and thrill.
"Let me make it clear first, Shi Zhen is injured, so I will take care of Bai Ce, the strongest player on the team."
Duanmu Liangjiang spoke first.
Bai Ce also used a gun, and he wanted to see whose gun was faster.
"Then leave Jian Sheng to me."
Lei Pokong was sharpening the big knife in his hand.
Jian Sheng was a strong man like him, holding a scary big knife in his hand.
"Hey, hey, hey, you guys took away the two most powerful people, what about me?"
Xu Wu was unhappy. The two greatest achievements had been taken away before the battle even started. As a militant, he could not stand this.
"Isn't there still the most powerful Shi Zhen left for you to deal with?"
Duanmu Liangjiang patted Xu Wu's head.
Xu Wu did not resist. He spent most of his first few years of martial arts training in the military camp.
At that time, he was still a child and was treated as a child by Duanmu Liangjiang, who often patted his head like this.
"At that time, one of Zhen's arms was disabled, so it was so boring to fight."
Xu Wu curled his lips.
"Isn't Yin Qian here too?"
Lei Pokong added.
"You coward, you dare fight me? I don't think you can last more than three moves in my hands."
Xu Wu curled his lips.
He was not bragging. With the advantage of the lance in his hand, he could fight Duanmu Liangjiang on equal terms.
Lei Pokong and Lei Potian are often no match for him.
Because his lance is long and shadowy, he is best suited to fight against powerful generals like Lei Pokong and Lei Potian who are wielding swords and axes.
"You have more important tasks."
Lin Xiaofan appeared from the side at some point.
"What mission?"
Xu Wu was full of doubts.
"Kill Zhang Qi."
Lin Xiaofan said.
