Taking advantage of the last moment, Zhang Xuan made some detailed adjustments, such as having too many archers in some teams, he exchanged with the knife and spearmen in other teams.

For example, spearmen should be concentrated to form a dense array of spears. For knife hands, each of them is required to hold their own saddles and temporarily serve as a shield.

These detailed adjustments can maximize combat effectiveness.

In fact, Zhang Xuan had no idea at all. These businessmen were different from the children of Yangjiazhuang. The children of Yangjiazhuang had received some military training, but these businessmen had not received any training at all. Once they faced a bloody scene, how many people could hold on?

On the other hand, Chai Shaozheng and Li Shentong whispered. Li Shentong praised Zhang Xuan's command ability and was able to organize a plate of loose merchants in an orderly manner in just half an hour. Even famous generals of ancient times may not be able to do it.

"No wonder the Lord wanted to pull him into Wuchuan Mansion. He is indeed a rare talent."

Li Shentong sighed: "It is not only courageous, but also courageous and commanding. If I can escape this time, I must strongly recommend him to my brother. It would be a pity if my brother lets go of such a talent."

Chai Shao smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Second will praise him later! Now it's just a shelf. I don't know whether it works or not."

"You can't say that, even if you fail, it has nothing to do with him. These are businessmen. Letting them fight with horse thieves is just like letting sheep fight with wolfs. It is amazing that Zhang Xuan can organize these cowardly merchants."

As soon as Li Shentong finished speaking, a scream came from a distance. A guy who was watching from a high place did not hide his body and was shot in the head with an arrow and rolled down from the big rock.

This scream was like a signal of war, and people on all sides shouted, "Here, they are here!"

Groups of dark horse thieves appeared dozens of steps away and came to the center from three directions. The merchants were so scared that they shouted. Dozens of archers fired arrows randomly without even seeing the target, but instead exposed themselves. A series of screams sounded, and five or six archers were shot by cold arrows and fell to the ground, causing a stir.

"Don't panic!"

Zhang Xuan hid at the entrance of the tomb and shouted, "He was condescending, and the situation around him could be seen clearly. The dark horse thief was well-trained and was not in a hurry to attack, but approached the central tomb step by step.

"Everyone keep it steady and don't lose their composure. They don't ride horses and will not attack!"

Zhang Xuan's voice reached everyone's ears, and they gradually calmed down. The archers no longer blindly shoot archers, and the unnecessary casualties disappeared immediately.

At this time, a cold arrow shot towards Zhang Xuan’s hiding place. Zhang Xuan flashed and the cold arrow wiped his face. With a sound of "Dang!", the arrow shot on the bluestone and landed at his feet.

Zhang Xuan was furious, put down his spear, put his long bow in his hand, pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind him, and set the arrow on the horse thief who had just shot the arrow. When the string was loosened, the long arrow shot like lightning.

Although his riding and shooting was not enough, there was no problem with the step bow. The arrow hit the horse thief's chest, with great strength and shot through the leather armor. The horse thief screamed and fell from a big rock.

Master Liang was so angry that he punched the stone pillar and ordered: "Attack!"

‘Dong!Dong!Dong!’ The drum sound of the attack of the dark horse thief was ringing.

Two hundred dark horse thieves rushed out of their hiding place and shouted and rushed towards the entrance dozens of steps away. Zhang Xuan shouted: "Spike the spearman, and the archer shoots from behind!"

The merchants also shouted loudly, and many people closed their eyes and raised their spears to stab the black horse thief who rushed up. The bloody battle began in an instant.

The horse thieves were obviously a well-trained elite army. They were all fearless and had a very organized attack. Dozens of horse thieves holding heavy shields and spears rushed in front, with spearmen without shields behind, and dozens of archers hid behind the big stones and cast cold arrows at the merchants who had their flaws exposed.

In just a moment, more than twenty merchants were stabbed to death and shot to death. Blood mist filled the stone forest. Screams rang through the stone forest, but the temporary fortifications they built saved the crisis, preventing the horse thieves from entering smoothly.

Zhang Xuan saw the tactics of the horse thieves. They attacked from three directions, but there were only 30 people in the west and north, but they threw hundreds of people into the south entrance, which was their breakthrough. Seeing that the south entrance was heavy casualties and gradually could not hold on, Zhang Xuan shouted: "Old Cheng, go and support the south!"

But no one agreed. When Zhang Xuan turned around, he saw Cheng Yaojin slashing at the north entrance, yelling and his eyes turned red. He could not hear his orders.

Zhang Xuan cursed inwardly, waved his hand and shouted to the two mobile teams: "Come with me!"

He led 60 new forces to the south entrance, which was about one meter wide. More than a dozen large boxes filled with porcelain were piled up, but the wooden boxes had been chopped up, and a large amount of porcelain poured out of the box and was stepped into pieces. The wooden boxes were also cut into wooden strips. More than a dozen large boxes had lost their hindrance. The two armies fought at the entrance that was slashed wide.

Nearly half of the sixty merchants had been killed, and their bodies were piled up and blood was flowing into a river. At this time, a merchant was slashed with his head and his brain splashed. Several merchants around him were so scared that they were out of their minds and retreated desperately, as the defense line was about to collapse.

At this critical moment, Zhang Xuan shouted and rushed into the battlefield first. The spear in his hand poured into ten thousand pounds of force and pierced a horse thief's chest. The horse thief screamed and fell backwards, but the spear was embedded in his body and could not be pulled out for a moment.

Zhang Xuan simply threw away the spear, pulled out the battle knife and slashed it horizontally. The knife was like thunder and lightning. "Crack!" Several spear rods were cut off. Zhang Xuan turned around like a whirlwind and slashed it with another knife. Three heads flew up, and blood in his neck was pouring in a row. Zhang Xuan's face became hot, and the smell of fishy smell blew, and his eyes couldn't even open.

He felt a pain in his back. He was hit by a knife, and two layers of leather armor were chopped. Zhang Xuan roared in pain, turned around and kicked the attacker's head, jumped towards the enemy group, clamped more than a dozen spears that stabbed him under his armpits, and stabbed him randomly.

Under Zhang Xuan's leadership, the merchants' courage doubled and rushed up together to fight with the horse thieves, gradually turning around the collapse situation and fighting with the horse thieves, with heavy casualties on both sides.

At this time, Master Liang finally felt a little distressed. His subordinates were loyal to him and were not easy to train. Everyone is a valuable resource, and it is not something that these lowly merchants can compensate.

His subordinates gave up their superiority and fought with the merchants. The casualties were heavy, far exceeding his own range of tolerance. He had to consider the attack method. Seeing that it was too late, Liang's army gritted their teeth and ordered: "Get off!"

‘Dang!Dang!Dang!’

The sound of the gong to withdraw the troops rang, and the horse thieves retreated one after another and quickly retreated from Xuanshaling.

The bloody battle finally came to an end. The merchants suffered heavy casualties, more than 70 people were killed, nearly 100 people were injured, and more than 30 horse thieves were killed. There were incomplete corpses everywhere, and the tomb was filled with pungent blood.

Fortunately, the horse thief was unable to break through the gap, and the livestock was not frightened and confused. The tomb was filled with crying, crying for his dead companions and griefing for his destiny.

Zhang Xuan sat on a big rock, took off his leather armor, revealing the wound on his back. Cheng Yaojinzheng carefully helped him deal with it. He could still fight the enemy bloodily when he was injured. He knew that he had not injured his muscles and bones, but was just a skin and flesh injury, which made him feel slightly relieved.

But another kind of pain was silently tormenting him. This was the consequence of his forced practice of Zhang Zhongjian's martial arts. Although he did not prepare medicine, after leaving the capital, he couldn't help but start practicing Zhang Zhongjian's martial arts, including qi extraction, qi training and intensity training.

There was no abnormality these days, but after a fierce battle today, he felt an indescribable discomfort between his chest and abdomen, as if a force was about to break out of the cocoon, but it was forced to suppress it, which made him feel tight and vomited, and he couldn't help feeling dizzy.

He knew in his heart that this must be the backlash caused by his improper martial arts practice by himself. He had to use medicine to cooperate with this exercise, but because there was no one of the most critical medicines, he had never dared to take the pills in his bag.

Cheng Yaojin did not notice the subtle changes in Zhang Xuan's body. He applied medicine to Zhang Xuan's wound and stuck it with a plaster, and kept talking nonstop in his mouth.

"I said these businessmen really couldn't tell. I thought they were all fat sheep, but they really had to fight. They were all good men. Lao Cheng would not laugh at them anymore."

Zhang Xuan could no longer control himself, stood up and smiled reluctantly, "You are not bad either. Although you have left your post without permission, I don't plan to punish you. If you keep the north entrance, I will reward you with one more part."

Cheng Yaojin unexpectedly did not ecstasy, but smiled bitterly and said, "Save your life first!"

Zhang Xuan patted his shoulder, walked quickly towards a place where no one was around, bent down suddenly, and vomited violently.

I don’t know how long it took, Zhang Xuan felt a little better, his face was very pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. He calmed down his mind and walked slowly towards the south entrance.

The southern entrance of the tomb is the most tragic place in this bloody battle. Nearly seventy people died here on both sides, and most of the thirty dark horse thieves were killed here.

At this time, Li Shentong was bandaging the wounded with several subordinates. When he saw Zhang Xuan coming, he hurriedly came up. Seeing Zhang Xuan’s face pale, he couldn’t help but ask with concern: “Young master’s complexion is not very good, is his injury serious?”

"It's okay to have a little bit of skin injury."

Zhang Xuan resisted the dizziness in front of him and smiled, "Just lose blood a little, just take a rest."

Li Shentong helped Zhang Xuan sit down and said sincerely: "All of us hope that the young master is fine, only the young master is unhindered, so we have hope of survival."

"Don't worry! I'm fine."

Li Shentong looked back at the distance, and he asked worriedly: "Do you think the dark horse thief will come to attack?"

Zhang Xuan nodded slightly, "That's certain. So many people have died. If we don't kill us, how could they swallow this anger? They will definitely come again, but they will change their ways."

Zhang Xuan looked at the dusk night sky and pondered for a moment: "If I was not wrong, they would use the means of night attack."

Li Shentong was shocked, "If it was a night attack, how should we deal with it?"

Zhang Xuan laughed, "Actually, I hope they will use the method of night attacks. We may be a little bit short of fighting courage, but we may not lose to each other when fighting wisdom."

"Did the young master have a plan?"
