The forward battalion, with the cooperation of artillery, attacked extremely fiercely, which caused a lot of pressure on the pirates in the high places, so that they did not dare to relax for a moment, and were always in a state of desperate defense.

These pirates who were brainwashed by the small boss did not believe in the persuasion of the front battalion at all, after all, they were all elite pirates under the command of the wolf, and they usually did more bad things, even if the capital crime was avoidable, the living crime was definitely indispensable, in short, they did not dare to surrender easily because they were afraid of being punished.

Of course, the main reason why they refused to surrender was because there was still a bit of luck, thinking that as long as they defended carefully, they might be able to hold the line, and in this way, there would be no punishment.

However, if the forward battalion of the Tang Army broke through the defensive line, they would be cornered and would still choose to surrender, but at that time, surrender and early surrender were completely two treatments, and they could not be compared.

The battle in front was in full swing, and five miles in the rear, a group of pirates were ready to demolish the bridge, as long as the bridge was demolished, it would be able to block the advance of the Tang army's soldiers and horses.

However, just as they began to dismantle the bridge, several pirates who reported the situation of the battle and asked for help ran over, and when they saw that they were demolishing the bridge, they were immediately frightened, in case the bridge was gone, they would become outcasts, and without support and food supplies from the rear, they would not be able to hold on at all.

"Don't demolish it, you can't demolish the bridge, the battle ahead is fierce, you have demolished the bridge now, what should we do?"

A pirate ran to stop him.

"This is the king's order, if any of you dare to disobey, come and arrest them."

The pirate leader said angrily.

"We were abandoned, abandoned, and went back."

Several pirates fled angrily and immediately informed the more than 200 pirates who were desperately resisting in front of them.

"What, the king sent people to demolish the bridge, bastard, this is too unjust, he actually treats us as outcasts, it is really unreasonable, on the contrary, he will not keep it."

The small pirate boss in charge of the defense was angry, and the consequences were serious.

"The Don Army is attacking, are we going to surrender now?"

A little pirate asked.

"Immediately shout and let the Don army stop the offensive and negotiate."

The little leader said angrily.

"Stop fighting, we surrender, we surrender."

A loud pirate shouted.

"Damn, that's when I think of surrendering, laying down my arms, and standing aside."

The general of the forward battalion scolded angrily, but he was still willing to accept surrender, after all, the terrain pressure was really high, and a forced attack would cause casualties.

The little pirate leader shouted: "We have conditions, we want to have a good talk." ”

"It's okay to talk, you can come down and talk! Lao Tzu waited. ”

The forward battalion officer agreed.

"Okay, I'll go down now."

The little pirate leader was out of the way, put down his weapons directly, and ran down to negotiate.

"Good courage, admiration, you really dare to come down, say it! What do you want to talk about? ”

The officer of the forward battalion admired.

The small pirate leader first asked about the treatment they might suffer after surrendering, and they would suffer multiple punishments, and after receiving a satisfactory answer, he nodded happily and expressed his willingness to surrender, and moreover, he was willing to attack with the Tang army.

"What's going on, figured it out so quickly."

Said the officer of the forward battalion.

The little pirate leader said: "We have no choice, since the king is not benevolent, we don't have to be polite to him anymore, since we have surrendered, it is better to make a great contribution now, so as to forgive the sins of our body." ”

"Oh, your king is not righteous, what bad things he has done, speak out and listen."

The officer of the forward battalion was also a small pirate leader and asked with great interest.

The little pirate leader said truthfully: "We were born and died for him in front, and he sent his henchmen to tear down the stone arch bridge behind us to block your advance, but in this way, we have no way to retreat, doesn't this force us to die?" How can we not rebel? ”

"It's so excessive, it's far worse than our White King, and it deserves to be betrayed."

The officer of the forward battalion said angrily, he was most unaccustomed to unrighteous behavior, although he surrendered to the Tang Army, but the white wolf he was loyal to also surrendered, what could he do.

"No, if the bridge is demolished, how can we get there, don't delay the time, you quickly lead your soldiers and horses to stop the demolition of the bridge, and we will arrive later."

The officer of the forward battalion was busy.

"Yes, yes, I can't let them really tear down the bridge, this credit is mine."

The pirate leader ran back with a wave of his hand, leading his two centaurs to the location of the bridge in order to seize this very important bridge.

Seeing that the opposite side had been completely evacuated, the officer of the forward battalion had fully believed what the pirate leader said, and immediately led his 1,000 men to the checkpoint, leaving only a few guards, and most of the men and horses immediately followed, ready to help seize the bridge.

When the small pirate leader led 200 of his men to the stone arch bridge, another group of more than 100 pirates was working hard to dismantle the bridge, and all kinds of tools were used, but the stone arch bridge was built very strongly, which caused a lot of trouble for their dismantling, and made them all tired and complained.

"Which grandson built it in the first place, and it was built so strongly, it tired grandpa."

One of the pirates complained loudly.

"Look for death! Dare to complain about the boss, this bridge was built by the boss, who dares to have an opinion. ”

The little boss retorted.

Now, the only hope in the hearts of all of them is to tear down the bridge, and they think that only in this way can they stop the Tang army from advancing step by step and avoid this catastrophe.

After being scolded, the pirates no longer dared to complain, and they were all working hard to dismantle the bridge.

"Stop, stop it all, don't tear down the bridge."

The little pirate leader who led the soldiers and horses over, his eyes were red with anger, and this feeling of betrayal was really uncomfortable.

"Do you want to rebel? This is the king's command. ”

The little leader of the bridge demolition said angrily.

"What about rebellion, Lao Tzu is the opposite, what's wrong, whoever doesn't stop demolishing the bridge, Lao Tzu will kill him."

The little boss roared angrily, and raised his crossbow to aim at the pirates who were tearing down the bridge.

The pirates who were tearing down the bridge were all stunned and stopped.

"Keep demolishing, this is the king's order, which of you dares not to stop."

The little leader of the bridge demolition refused to give up.

A dozen pirates were the first to begin to continue dismantling.

"Shoot the arrows."

The little boss who was trembling with anger led his men to release arrows and shot a large number of bridge-breaking pirates in front of him, and made the scene a little chaotic.

The little leader in charge of demolishing the bridge was trembling with anger, but there were very few people under his command, only a hundred people, how could he be an opponent of two hundred people, he was in a dilemma, and he didn't know what to do.

"The Tang Army's forward battalion is here, and everyone surrenders immediately."

It didn't take long for a thousand men from the forward battalion to rush over and mingle with the pirates who had already surrendered, forming an even more formidable force.

"Brothers, block me, block it."

The little leader of the bridge demolition nervously ordered, and ran backwards, ready to go back to report the situation.

As soon as the little leader ran, the little pirates behind him threw away their tools and ran back, and they had the tools to dismantle the bridge, not their weapons.

"Rush, occupy the bridge."

The forward battalion strode forward, preparing to occupy this strategic point and repair the damaged bridge.

"Surrender or die."

The little leader of the bridge demolition wanted to escape, but he was shocked to find that his back road was surrounded by the Tang soldiers who had always been well-equipped, and a full ten crossbows and ten bows were aimed at him.

In addition to the elite of the flying planes, the Celestial Army also has soldiers responsible for bomb dropping, and these soldiers still have a skill to train, that is, airborne, so they appear to be more elite.

Descending south, with his men and horses, they quietly parachuted down at a certain distance from the bridge, and quickly assembled, and when they arrived near the bridge, they happened to encounter two groups of pirates in the fire, so they quietly ambushed behind, wanting to see a good show.

Now, if the pirates who demolished the bridge want to escape, they will naturally rush out and stop the pirates, so as to eliminate the pirates.

There are invincible strong enemies in front and behind, and more than 100 pirates who demolished the bridge are completely weak, and at this moment, there is only one ending if you don't surrender, and that is a dead end.

The little leader of the bridge demolition looked under the bridge, and there was a turbulent river hanging deep below, and after jumping down, there was no hope of survival, and the other little pirates were also weak in their hearts, and had the idea of surrendering.

"Why don't you surrender quickly, do you want to jump in and feed the fish?"

The young general of the forward battalion shouted in a pirate tone.

"I surrender, I surrender."

"Don't kill me, I surrender."

Soon, the pirates surrendered one after another, raised their hands and knelt on the ground.

"Surrender, I surrender."

The little boss also relented, so he had to raise his hands and choose to surrender.

Almost bloodlessly took the strategic bridge, and captured more than 300 pirates, of which the credit of the Heavenly Army cannot be buried, but the biggest credit is undoubtedly the pirate leader Wolf Yi, if he did not order the demolition of the bridge, the two hundred pirates in front would not choose to surrender, so Li An's plan is not so easy to implement.

After taking the strategic bridge, there are three important levels behind, with a total of more than 400 pirates stationed there, and in the back cave, there are Wolf One and his three hundred most elite centaurs.

Looking south at the pirates who had surrendered, then at the soldiers of the forward battalion, he said loudly: "I have a clever plan to go straight to the pirate's lair, and I need your cooperation." ”

"The southbound brigade has some good plans, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

The forward battalion officer asked with a smile.

The officers and men of their forward battalion will always admire the Heavenly Army very much, and their forward battalion is guilty of crimes, so they naturally dare not compete with the Heavenly Army, so as not to offend the most elite troops of the Tang Dynasty.

Shaking off his spirits in the south, he said arrogantly: "The forward battalion selects two hundred elites, changes into pirate clothes, and the pirate leader selects fifty elites, you form a vanguard force, go to the front to deceive the trust of the pirates, and win the checkpoints in one fell swoop, and follow up with soldiers and horses, so that you can quickly go south to the three checkpoints of the pirates, and finally catch the pirate leader Wolf One." ”

"What a great idea! is really worthy of being a celebrity next to Li Shilang, and he can actually think of such a good idea, so he did it. ”

The general of the forward battalion was overjoyed, and then looked at the two small pirate leaders who had surrendered, and asked sharply, "Would you like to show us the way?" ”

"Yes, yes."

The little pirate boss was frightened, where would he dare to object.

The two hundred elites of the forward battalion quickly changed into pirate clothes, and formed a large retreat team with fifty pirates, among them, two pirate leaders walked in the front and were responsible for leading the way, only in this way could they deceive the pirates guarding the checkpoint.

After going south to make up his mind, he was no longer in charge of the battle, and returned to the camp with his elite men and horses, and told Li An what was happening in front of him, and listened to Li An's opinion.

"Going south, doing a good job, it is worthy of being the elite division of my Datang, and it solved the big problem as soon as he made a move."

Li An praised loudly, praising the good handling of Nanxia, so that later today, it is estimated that he will be able to capture the pirate leader Wolf Yi.

Of course, Li An praised the place to go south the most, because this commander knew the severity, and after taking the strategic bridge, he did not lead the soldiers and horses to continue the battle in order to fight for credit, but wisely chose to return to the camp, after all, in the later battle, the role played by their heavenly army will not be very large, in case there are casualties, it is a huge loss for the Tang Empire, and it is the most suitable choice to let the forward battalion go to fight and capture the pirate leader Wolf Yi.

In addition, the forward battalion composed of the former pirates is already guilty, and it is very urgent to establish merit to wash away their sins, and they will also be very grateful to them for this glorious task when they go south, which will further strengthen the relationship between the heavenly army and the forward battalion, so that it will be of great benefit to the joint operations in the future, and it will be easier to command these forward battalions when they go south.

The suggestion made to go south was very in place, and under his suggestion, a vanguard of 250 people approached the back checkpoint very smoothly and boarded the checkpoint.

"Hey, why did you come back so soon, was the bridge demolished?"

The little boss of the back level asked suspiciously.

"It's been demolished, it's all been demolished, and the brothers are rushing back to report it?"

A small leader said as he instructed his men to come immediately.

Because the elite of the two hundred forward battalions mixed in with it are also pirates, and their skin color and appearance are not much different from the pirates here, so they can't be separated at all, after all, there are 5,000 pirates under the command of Wolf, who can know so many people?

Two hundred and fifty horses quickly ascended the level, but they did not continue to retreat, but stayed where they were.

"Tang Army, nearly 1,000 Tang Army troops were found below."

One of the gatekeepers was taken aback.

The little leader was stunned for a moment, stretched out his head to look down, and was suddenly shocked, if the bridge was really demolished, how did the nearly 1,000 troops of the Tang Army come over?
