: The calculation is included in the

Just when Guo Rong announced that "the defeat of the enemy is today", Xu Wenzhen also said to Bian Hao: "I thought hard last night and finally came up with a way to defeat the enemy and win! As long as we act according to our plan, we can severely damage the Zhou army!"

Bian Hao was very curious and quickly stepped forward to ask. Xu Wenzhen smiled slightly and kept a little shut. Then he whispered to Bian Hao: "Today Guo Rong will definitely order the attack. Dong Zunhui, as Guo Rong's confidant general, will definitely participate. We might as well order the troops to resist and act as if they are incompetent to the enemy and retreat slowly, and lead the Dong Zunhui who is in battle in person to the ambush circle of our army! As long as Dong Zunhui is killed, Guo Rong will lose his arm and the morale of Zhou will plummet. By that time, we will be more confident in defending the Purple Gold Mountain!"

Bian Hao nodded repeatedly, but he immediately asked, "We are too hasty to use this strategy today. Zhu Yuan has always been arrogant because of his merits and does not cooperate with our army's actions. After all, we have fought repeatedly due to defeat and fought with honorable morale, but our combat power has declined. Why don't we wait any longer..."

Xu Wenzhen understood the meaning of Bian Hao. The so-called "fighting repeatedly and fighting again and again, and morale is commendable" is just a high-sounding cover-up word. The real situation is that Xu, the border troops were repeatedly hit, their morale was slumped, and their combat power was very low.

However, Xu Wenzhen also had his own considerations. He said to Bian Hao: "Brother Bian, I know what you mean. The court has sent the Wuchang Army governor Yang Shouzhong to replace Zhu Yuan and serve as the chief general of our Southern Tang Pioneer Corps. If Yang Shouzhong comes here, with his cooperation, we will not only be able to kill Dong Zunhui, but may also achieve greater results, which is much safer than now. But Brother Bian, we are both defeated repeatedly, and the censors in the court have been ready to move. If we don't make any achievements, our status may be insured, and it will also disappoint Lord Chen Jue and others who support us. It is a trivial matter to not guarantee our status. If we lose the high hopes and support of the court, our future will be quite limited!"

Bian Hao sighed: "How great it would be if we only wanted to fight wars and didn't have to worry about these troubles!"

Xu Wenzhen also accompanied him to sigh several times, completely forgetting how the two framed Zhu Yuan and how they confused right and wrong. After sighing several times, the two quickly came to their senses and immediately began to formulate a combat plan. Although the two of them had defeated the battle in a row, they did have a certain level of command. They quickly formulated the plan and informed the generals of the army.

About an hour later, the Zhou army camp opened, and dozens of troops rushed out and formed a large formation. In the middle of the formation, Guo Rong was wearing golden armor and sat on the high throne. The surroundings were filled with the emperor's ceremonial guards, which made him look even more imposing.

At the forefront of this formation, Dong Zunhui led two thousand soldiers to form a dense square formation, waiting for the emperor's order. Dong Zunhui made an attack this time, only leading the two thousand soldiers who were not injured last time, and did not let those lightly injured go to battle, because this time the emperor once again ranked Dong Zunhui as the vanguard.

Zhang Yi rubbed his nose, but the wrist guard made of stainless steel accidentally hit the bridge of his nose, causing his nose to be very injured. Zhang Yi whispered: "Last time we attacked, we were the pioneers. Now we are still letting us take the lead, but we don't add any troops to us. Your Majesty is too stingy and too squeezing us!"

Dong Zunhui frowned slightly, and saw that his confidants were all around him, he whispered: "Shut up! Our Palace Front Office is the army that Your Majesty trusts the most, so Your Majesty handed us over the burden. What's there to complain about! As for not replenishing people, are you willing to add some young and strong people in your camp who have not been trained? If you want, I will fill you up the vacancy immediately!"

Zhang Yi laughed awkwardly, but he didn't dare to talk. Dong Zunhui said in a low voice: "Everyone is brother, so it's not important to say something about complaining, but you must not say it elsewhere. Especially you often go out to the camp to drink and have many friends with wine and meat. If the wind accidentally erupts at the restaurant, I'm afraid I won't be able to save you then!"

Zhang Yi knew that Dong Zunhui was thinking about him, so he nodded gratefully and kept the matter in his heart.

Soon, a signal came from the central army, ordering the troops to start attacking. Dong Zunhui immediately led the army forward. The soldiers lined up in an orderly line according to their respective teams and rushed forward step by step. There was no laughter or quarrel in the team, only the sound of iron armor rubbing, and only the sound of the battle boots falling to the ground!

Last time, Dong Zunhui used a chaotic formation to lure the enemy to attack, but this time he made up his mind to take steady steps and advance step by step. Xu Wenzhen and Bian Hao looked at the neat queue of Dong Zunhui's troops, and their hearts were trembling and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the troops acted according to the plan, no matter how beautiful the troops were in the queue, they would end up with the destruction of the entire army!

The troops were getting closer and closer to Purple Mountain, and Dong Zunhui ordered loudly: "Hold the shield in the front row!"

Hearing his order, the first two rows of soldiers held the wooden shield in their hands and blocked their chests. While holding the wooden shield, they formed a more dense formation and rushed towards the direction of Zijin Mountain.

Shortly after Dong Zunhui issued the order, Xu Wenzhen also ordered loudly: "The whole army shoots!"

Hearing his order, nearly a thousand archers held the newly issued strong bows and immediately launched an attack on Dong Zunhui's troops. These strong bows were Xu Wenzhen, and Bian Hao followed Chen Jue's relationship and urgently transferred from the arsenal of the camp to the north. The last time the bamboo bow did not pose much threat to the Zhou army soldiers, and this time the archers shot deadly iron arrows (the bamboo arrows were equipped with iron arrows)!

Fortunately, Dong Zunhui had already issued an order to raise a shield, and the Tang army's arrow rain did not cause much damage to the Zhou army soldiers. Everyone listened to the arrows constantly hitting the wooden shield, shooting through the skin on the wooden shield, and nailed it to the newly soaked wooden shield, which made the Zhou army's shield soldiers' hands hurt.

Perhaps it was because he suffered too much from Zhou's archers last time. This time, Xu Wenzhen not only sent a thousand long bow soldiers, but also gathered all idle personnel to keep shooting with bamboo bows and arrows. Many ants bite the elephant to death, not to mention that the bamboo arrows in their hands were not all decorations, and they always had a certain lethality. Soon there were casualties in the Zhou army. Dong Zunhui shouted loudly: "Form a defensive formation!"

Hearing his orders, the shield players put the wooden shields in their hands together to form a dense line of defense. The spearmen also shook the spears in their hands in an orderly manner in the air, hitting most of the arrows that shot at them.

Seeing that Zhou army did not dare to step forward, Xu Wenzhen said to Bian Hao: "The enemy's revolts over and over again, are they annoyed by such a defensive counterattack trick?"

Bian Hao asked quickly: "Then how about our army keeping the status quo with them?"

Xu Wenzhen thought about it briefly and then shook his head and refused. Although many strong bows and crossbows were transferred from the rear, the number of arrows and crossbow arrows was extremely limited. Xu Wenzhen must consider the consumption of the ambush later and dare not keep shooting with the Zhou army like this. He can only send troops to confront Dong Zunhui's troops again.

Looking at the lower general who was lowering his head, Xu Wenzhen exclaimed loudly: "Don't worry, even if Dong Zunhui has three heads and six arms, he is also a human being, not a god! Now there are only two thousand people in the Zhou army, but we have tens of thousands of troops. Even if one person cuts Zhou army with one knife, he can chop them into meat sauce! Everyone is energetic and don't show such a frustrated expression! Besides, I don't plan to let you attack. Just lure Dong Zunhui into our ambush circle! Do you say you don't even have this courage? Do you just want to give up this wealthy future that is within your reach?"

Not to mention, Xu Wenzhen's words successfully boosted morale. Everyone is right to think about it. This time it was not a fierce battle with the Zhou army, but just a temptation to fight the enemy, and there was no need to take too much risk. Thinking of this, everyone finally showed a smile on their faces.

Bian Hao also said from the side: "I believe everyone has received the news. The court has sent a large number of reinforcements, led by Yang Shouzhong, the governor of Wuchang Army. He is traveling day and night to come to Zijin Mountain to help. When they arrive at Zijin Mountain, our troops will have an absolute advantage, but by then there are many teams on Zijin Mountain, so how can we have so many opportunities to make contributions now? As long as everyone can make contributions now, when Yang Shouzhong comes here, General Xu and I will jointly recommend you. Promotion and wealth will not be a problem!"

Under Xu Wenzhen and Bian Hao's persuasion and temptation, a general with simple mind and developed limbs finally volunteered to take the initiative to lure the enemy. Xu Wenzhen immediately agreed, and then looked at Wu Kui who volunteered and roared, leading a soldier under his command and rushed up.

It was said that there were 2,500 soldiers and horses in one army, but that was in full. Because of the phenomenon of eating empty quotas and drinking blood, Wu Kui's military personnel were less than 2,000, which was as high as Dong Zunhui's troops. Moreover, after layers of deductions by the baggage officers in the army, the number of armor of the soldiers in Wu Kui's army was seriously insufficient, and many people did not even have the worst leather armor, and they only wore thin clothes and went to fight.

Looking at the two thousand attacking enemies, Dong Zunhui was not nervous at all. He smiled and said, "I thought I could meet the two thousand fat sheep of the enemy (Xu Wenzhen, Bian Hao's elite guards), but I didn't expect that two thousand beggars would come to my door first! But we have a good appetite and don't dislike them..."

Dong Zunhui smiled and said words to belittle the enemy, constantly cheering the soldiers. However, he did not underestimate the enemy, but immediately ordered the archers to prepare early. Everything was like the last battle, with the cooperation of the shield, the spearman, and the archer, and easily defeating Wu Kui's troops!

Wu Kui screamed, covered his ejaculated ear and ran back. His soldiers were even more unconscionable. They either raised their hands to surrender or ran around, without any soldiers at all!
