Chapter 177: Long Bo loses again(1/2)
Long Bo is still leading troops to pursue Wang Bin. No matter how fast he speeds up, it is always a day or two away from the Qingshan Army. Obviously, Wang Bin did it on purpose and did not let Long Bo catch up or lose it.
The middle army is the main force of the three armies under Wang Bin. The instrument battalion and the cavalry battalion are all following the central army. Only with the help of the cavalry battalion can the instrument battalion keep up with the army's speed.
After dividing his troops into three parts, Wang Bin took the initiative to slow down and asked Long Bo to use him as the pursuit target to cover the other two armies and return.
Long Bo knew Wang Bin's location and abandoned other Qingshan Army. He only saw Wang Bin. He wanted to capture Wang Bin on the land of the Longshan Empire to restore his reputation and prestige.
The vanguard army of the Longshan Army was similar to that of Wang Bin's central army, so for safety reasons, Long Bo wrote to Long You, requesting to mobilize a large army to surround Wang Bin, and forcing Wang Bin to continue rushing towards Longcheng.
Long Bo's intentions are extremely sinister. He wants to force Wang Bin to death and make Wang Bin lose clearly.
As long as Wang Bin can be taken down, the morale of the entire Qingshan Border Army will plummet, and their elite Longshan forces can drive straight into the Qingshan Empire.
Unfortunately, Wang Bin had a plan. On the surface, he still "escape" towards Longcheng, but in fact the scouts were already looking for a way back.
In order to confuse Long Bo, Wang Bin also asked Wen Kun to discard some large equipment, saying that they were very panicked and some objects that dragged down the speed of the marching had to be discarded.
"Where has Longbo's army reached?"
At the top of the city of Crescent City, Wang Bin looked into the distance, with peaks and ridges in the distance, clouds and mists, and he could not see them clearly.
"General, it's probably half a day away."
Zhang Xiong replied.
In the Crescent City, there are only five thousand cavalry led by Wang Bin and Zhang Xiong. They will wait for Long Bo to come here in this city.
Why do this?
Because Long Bo's target has always been Wang Bin, as long as Wang Bin is in the city, Long Bo will definitely lead his troops to surround him. As long as Long Bo surrounds him, the soldiers of the middle army can take the opportunity to avoid the siege of Longshan Army and retreat calmly.
The price of doing this is that Wang Bin and Zhang Xiong have 5,000 cavalrymen to become bait and attract the enemy in Crescent City. Although it is dangerous, it must be arranged like this. Otherwise, the middle army will find it difficult to get rid of Long Bo's pursuit, and will not be able to arrange the offensive level calmly.
In order to pass the level, Wang Bin could only lead the cavalry battalion to take this risk.
"Let the soldiers be prepared, and the Longshan army will siege the city in a while and retreat immediately." Wang Bin said.
"General, don't we have to fight a war before retreating?" Zhang Xiong was a little unhappy. He fled when he saw the enemy coming. This was not his style of the cavalry.
In his opinion, the Longshan Army might have come a lot, but they are cavalrymen, and the Longshan infantry had no choice but to deal with them.
"Don't forget that the Dragon Tooth Legion under Long Bo's command is to defeat your cavalry battalion, and the Dragon Tooth Legion is composed of warriors. If you encounter it, you will either die or be injured. The function of your cavalry battalion is to rush to kill the enemy, and you don't have to make fearless sacrifices." Wang Bin said.
Leaving cavalry by his side is to create momentum to attract Longbo, and to shock the people of Longshan Empire in the city. Although they have allocated food to the people of Longshan, when they really fight, these people will still be on the Longshan Army side.
Otherwise, Wang Bin could have stayed in the city alone and waited for Long Bo to come over to have a big fight.
He also knew that if he was the only one, Long Bo would not have abandoned the soldiers of the middle lane and came to surround him specifically.
We always have to keep some soldiers with strong combat power by our side, forcing Long Bo to lead the army over.
Five thousand people guarding a Crescent City is completely enough. If Long Bo wants to seize the city, he needs 50,000 people to follow the tactics of surrounding him.
Zhang Xiong dared not refute Wang Bin's words. No matter what, they were willing to take risks with the boss. Wang Bin would do whatever he wanted and would not cause trouble for Wang Bin.
"General, are you withdrawing with us?" Zhang Xiong asked carefully when he saw Wang Bin constantly wiping the Ben Lei Battle Knife.
Generally speaking, Wang Bin will not be able to use the knife. As long as he does this, it means that Wang Bin is about to have a big kill.
As a general, Zhang Xiong certainly hopes to fight side by side with his general, but Wang Bin just said that when Longshan Army comes, their cavalry will have to retreat.
"After I will be able to join you after fighting Longbo."
Wang Bin was very calm and wanted to say something ordinary.
"The last general asks for battle and advance and retreat with the general!"
After hearing Wang Bin's words, Zhang Xiong didn't understand that his soldiers had to face a large army one by one.
Zhang Xiong, who was excited, immediately bowed and bowed. He wanted to ask for battle, and he wanted to kill the enemy on the top of the city with his own general.
"You can't stay. You have to take the cavalry battalion to chase Xiaoshitou and others and protect their left and right wings. Our goal is to checkpoints on the Longshan border. There is no unnecessary loss in other places."
Wang Bin naturally rejected Zhang Xiong's request for battle. It was not that Zhang Xiong and his cavalry battalion were not qualified, but that it was indeed unnecessary.
He faced Long Bo alone, fighting as soon as he wanted to fight, and leaving as he wanted to leave. Although Long Bo was a half-step master, he could not keep Wang Bin who wanted to leave.
Out of recognition of his own strength, Wang Bin dared to make such a decision, so Zhang Xiong could not stay. The task of Zhang Xiong and the Cavalry Battalion was to attract Long Bo to come. After the task was completed, they had to retreat.
The Central Army also needs them to protect the safety of both wings.
"Yes, General!"
Wang Bin did not agree. Although Zhang Xiong was unwilling to accept the situation, he did not continue to ask for the battle. Wang Bin always said that as a general, Zhang Xiong knew when to persevere and when to obey orders.
From morning to noon, Long Bo finally led the army to Crescent City. When he saw Wang Bin alone independent of the city, Long Bo smiled. He smiled happily. Wang Bin dared to stop and wait for him, but he really didn't know what was wrong.
"Wang Bin, are you going to fight against my 50,000 troops alone?"
Long Bo shouted at the top of his voice, trying his best to let every soldier hear it.
Apart from Wang Bin, there were no other soldiers on the top of the city, and there was no other flag.
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, I haven't had a long time to discuss with you. My hands are itchy and tight. Are you interested in a fight with me?"
Wang Bin was on the top of the city, neither humble nor arrogant, and his body stood straight. The blood-colored cloak behind him was blown up by the wind and kept flying. He took off his helmet and was ready for battle.
"Haha, Wang Bin, have you figured it out? I have an army of 50,000 under my command. As long as I rush forward, the Crescent City will be broken in the blink of an eye. How about I wait until I take down the city and fight with you in the last battle?"
Long Bo smiled and ordered the siege. The Longshan army was about to take action, but the city gate was opened by itself. It was Zhang Xiong's cavalry battalion that opened the city gate.
The cavalry camp left the city, and the Longshan Army team, who were preparing to attack the city, immediately set up a defensive lineup. It was not fun to be charged by the cavalry.
But what made people feel so big that the Qingshan Army cavalry did not launch a charge, but ran along the moat in full view of everyone.
"Wang Bin, have you been abandoned by your cavalry?" Long Bo couldn't react a little. The cavalry left the city without retaliating against his formation, and he actually left like this?
"Abandon? The soldiers of Qingshan Army have never left each other. When I fight with His Highness the Fourth Prince, I will meet the soldiers."
Wang Bin was too lazy to talk to Long Boduo, so he flew up from Chengtou Mountain and rushed straight to Long Bo's place.
"Protect the Fourth Prince!"
When the elite troops in Longshan saw Wang Bin rushing over, they immediately built a shield array around Longbo to protect Longbo in the rear.
boom!
With one sword drawn, the shield formation split into pieces!
In front of the half-step master, the defense of the shield formation is not much different from that of the paper, even if the soldiers who built the shield formation are the Dragon Tooth Legion.
The power of the sword-drawing slash cannot be stopped by a few warriors with shields.
"I haven't seen each other for a few days, General Wang is even stronger than before!" Long Bo did not come out of the shield formation. He could not beat Wang Bin in the past, and now he is not prepared to fight Wang Bin one-on-one.
Wang Bin rushed over alone, obviously trying to hold him back and prevent him from chasing the cavalry.
Long Bo actually didn't take that cavalry seriously. The value of blocking five thousand cavalry was far from capturing Long Bo in time.
So, what Long Bo really thought was how to stop Wang Bin from escaping.
The city gates are wide open, and there is no need to attack. The Qingshan cavalry in the city has left, leaving only one Wang Bin facing their 50,000 troops.
"Around him and capture him!"
Long Bo ordered that the Dragon Teeth Legion immediately surrounded Wang Bin outside the Crescent City, and surrounded him in the center on three layers inside and three layers outside.
Long Bo dared not fight with Wang Bin, but the Dragon Ya Legion has a large number of people and a gun and shield, so he surrounded Wang Bin and had a high chance of successfully capturing him.
Long Bo clenched his fists. Wang Bin was too arrogant and wanted to fight against his 50,000 troops alone. He would let Wang Bin know what it means to be a mantis armed chariot.
The Dragon Teeth Legion formed layered shield arrays, oppressing Wang Bin at the center, constantly rebuilding up space where Wang Bin could move.
Long Bo did not take action, and Wang Bin felt a little disappointed. Long Bo gave up the battle between warriors of the same level. If it were him who surrounded Long Bo, he would definitely rush up and capture the other party himself.
But then I thought about it, since Long Bo faced him, it seemed that he had never won even once. This time, for the sake of safety, Long Bo made the Dragon Tooth Legion take action.
However, although the Dragon Teeth Legion is all warriors, it is still a bit short of time to siege him, the half-step master.
"Break the false kill!"
A circle of circular sword lights slashed out, and the soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Legion in the innermost circle were swept away. The special shield could not stop the blade of the Ben Lei Zhan Knife. Some shields could not withstand the knife force contained in the sword light, and when they were slashed, they exploded one after another.
"Raging waves!"
Another group of sword techniques was used to fight. The sound of the storm of the storm in the void was remembered. The soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Legion who were approaching Wang Bin looked around and wanted to find the position of the attack. However, before they could react, Wang Bin's sword power had already hit them like a huge wave.
The figures were thrown away, and the screams continued. The battle between the Dragon Ya Legion besieged Wang Bin was fierce from the beginning, but this intensity was a bit embarrassing for the elites of Longshan.
The Dragon-Too Warrior who usually acts as a mighty person in front of them is not as good as theirs under Wang Bin's knife.
It is a shame that a group of sectarian warriors were beaten to the point of being unable to fight back at the hands of an enemy general.
Because there is no one around him, Wang Bin truly lets himself go in the encirclement, how to use the knife technique, how to use the knife energy and light, sweep the knife at will.
He was so happy that the Dragon Teeth Legion was very miserable. This was the first time they had received such torture since their establishment.
The disciples of the Dao Sect are naturally unrestrained in fighting style, not to mention that Wang Bin is also the Holy Son of the Dao Sect, and his combat power is terrifyingly strong.
A sword light swept across several rounds, and at least half of the enemies fell down, and a burst of sword energy shot up, the soldiers of the Longya Legion who were besieging would lose several people.
This kind of battle that should have been suppressed was beaten into an advantageous situation by Wang Bin, and the battle situation was controlled by him.
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, aren't you coming out yet?"
