Chapter 726 Overcoming the Enemy (4)
"The four generals of Huangma, Xu, have broken their water attack?" Hearing the huge torrent that had disappeared from his ears, Guo Jia shook his head on the horse's back and pointed to the mountains on both sides and asked the scout in front of the horse.
The two scouts who signed from Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and Xu Huang, the Taishici Army nodded at the same time.
The older scout had already turned over from his horse: "Reported to the military advisor, the two generals Ziyi and Gongming happened to meet Gao Lin, the deputy general of the thief leader Yang Ang, when they were on the mountainside, to launch the water to attack. General Ziyi rode his horse and shot the guy down with one arrow.
The Hanzhong soldiers were defeated and fled immediately. The lake water that Gao Lin and the others gathered for a long time was already in our hands before they could release it. Gongming and General Ziyi ordered the Captain Pang Zhong to take the civilians at the foot of the mountain and continued to go deep into the village."
The slightly younger scout under Huang Zhong also hurriedly stepped forward and added: "Military advisor, we also encountered Zhang Wei's ambush, but when we arrived, they had already opened the gate to release water. The two generals hurriedly moved us to the Shi'an on the side of the lake.
Our army used the terrain of Shiao to shoot at Zhang Wei's navy, and it was difficult to distinguish between the two generals. Later, the veteran general sent two hundred veterans in Jingzhou to sneak into the water and attack Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei was caught off guard. Zhang Wei led his army to flee, and the two generals joined the pursuit team again."
"Then how many people have you captured?"
"The soldiers under Zhang Wei were cut by arrows or fell into the water. There were only 320 people captured by our army. As for the dams, there were 137 people who dug the embankment on the cliffs and dams." The young scout replied hurriedly.
Guo Jia nodded and pointed to the more than 500 young and strong men in front of him who were dressed as a civilian man squatting on the ground and surrounded by soldiers and asked the two: "Those people are the civilians rescued by several generals from the Hanzhong soldiers today?"
Since he wanted to show that the court's great righteous army was famous, Zhang Lu would naturally become a vicious enemy devil, and the civilians who were obviously captured during the war between the two armies, of course, became rescue in Guo Jia's mouth.
The two scouts nodded at the same time: "I dare not hide the military advisors. These people are indeed the local people rescued by our army under the swords of the Hanzhong soldiers!"
"Are you saying that these people are all local people? Have you verified their details clearly?" Guo Jia frowned slightly and raised his eyebrows.
The two scouts looked at each other, and the older scout explained: "Five hundred people have verified 120 people. Based on their mutual confessions, we have basically clarified their origins. They are indeed the people at the foot of Yangpingguan Mountain."
Are they all the local people in Yangpingguan?
A trace of doubt flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, as if he had caught something, but he felt that he had not caught anything. After thinking hard for a while, he still couldn't remember anything. He shook his head helplessly and let out a sigh of relief, blow away the doubts in his heart, and turned back to the Central Army.
"Look at them closely, but report them to me immediately if there is any disturbance!"
...
The genius Guo Fengxiao was still in a difficult situation, and Taishici and Xu Huang had already rushed to the fourth village of the big village on the right.
The group had just walked two or three miles away, and Xu Huang suddenly stopped. Taishi Ci hurriedly pressed the gesture, and more than ten thousand soldiers stopped moving forward in unison, silently looking at a man in black in front of Xu Huang.
Everyone didn't know the origin of the man in black, but Taishi Ci and Xu Huang knew that this person was a captain in Zhu Yan's army, and an important person directly asked for by military advisor Guo Jia before leaving.
His name is Zhang Tingtao. He was born in Bashu. He knew very well about the customs and customs of the Bashu area. He was especially good at dealing with various snakes, rats, insects and ants. He was just because his father died at the hands of soldiers under Liu Zhang. Because he was afraid that the soldiers would kill the roots, he sneaked out of Bashu with his widow and became a member of Zhu Yan's army under Wang Li's tent.
Zhang Tingtao waved his hands to Taishi Ci and Xu Huang, took a few steps forward and lay on the ground to listen for a while, his face changed drastically: "Quickly, the soldiers make a defensive formation, and then immediately tear off their armor and cover them on their lips!"
Xu Huang waved his hand and whispered to Taishici, and the flag-holding soldiers hurriedly shaking the flag in their hands up and down.
More than ten thousand warriors quickly tore off a piece of armor from their clothes and armor, then stood firm according to the snake coil formation, staring carefully at the bushes and dense forests around them with their backs. The sword exuding a deep cold and dead silence appeared in their hands, and the blade pointed neatly forward.
The snake coil formation is a formation of the "Eight Formations" created by Zhuge Liang. Its formation is compatible with astronomy and geography. It is a rare attack and defense formation, and it is also a rare combat formation in ancient times.
Unfortunately, although Xu Huang did not know Zhuge Liang's Eight Formation Picture, he also found a few words about the Snake Pan Array in an ancient book, so he trained it according to the description in the book and took the Snake Vanguard Array for his own use.
The word says: The wind is a snake coiled, attached to the sky, formed by shape, surrounded by potential energy, and its properties are bent and extended. Among the four wonders, it is adjacent to the tiger, and later becomes a mountain, and the head and tail are trapped.
Although the attack ability of the Snake Vatic Formation is not powerful, it is the most capable of defending and attacking.
"Here, brothers, be careful!"
Zhang Tingtao let out a long roar, and a fishy smell floated from the bushes and dense forests in front of his sight into everyone's noses. He frowned at the same time, only to feel that the smell was even more pungent than the sour smell of the rice overnight.
"Shit!"
A creepy hissing sound suddenly sounded, and everyone's eyes were blurred. Many brightly colored poisonous snakes appeared in the forest in front, densely packed, like strips of colored cloth hanging on the ground by women.
The snakes are about one meter long and are full of red, and there are dozens of black dark patterns separated by them, making them particularly bright in color.
"Be careful, these are red chain snakes!"
A whistle burst out from his throat, and Zhang Tingtao suddenly jumped up from the front, and the long sword in his waist suddenly came out of the sheath, drew his sword out, and the speed was like lightning. The sword light flashed by, and a red chain snake about two meters long broke into two pieces, and the two sections that fell to the ground were still squirming.
It turns out that he has specialized in his skills. Xu Huang and Taishi Ci nodded secretly, and then he heard a dark and obscure flute sound coming from the darkness.
Everyone looked up and saw three men in black robes standing on a tall pine tree on the outer layer of the dense forest in front of them. They all had a black mask on their faces, and only a pair of eyes showed their cold eyes looking at everyone.
The hundreds of poisonous snakes that had just climbed out of the bushes and the dense forest seemed to have heard the order, and all danced and twisted wildly in the eyes of everyone.
"This is the Demon Snake Dance of the Five Dou Rice Sect. All the soldiers obeyed my orders!" Zhang Tingtao's face suddenly changed, he quickly retreated into the Snake Vanguard formation, and directly took over the command of Taishi Ci and Xu Huang and shouted angrily to everyone.
"The shield is facing forward, light the torch, and go forward side by side!"
