Downing had high hopes for Area Three, and Shenqian didn't live up to Downing's expectations.

Area 3 is an area near the city gate. This is the place where the fighting is fiercest and the intensity of the fighting is the highest. Therefore, the Wujin Camp and the Heping Summer Camp took on the defense of this area, and at the same time, Tang Ning also laid out heavy defenses in this place, wanting to kill and injure some more Xia soldiers here.

However, what he never expected was that the enemy army did not deliberately fight for the area near the city gate, but gathered heavy troops to attack the No. 7 area that Tang Ning expected that even people might not be able to encounter.

The Xuanjie camp is full of stinky fish and shrimp, and it is inevitable that Area 7 will be attacked by others.

However, Shen Qian and Gao Shu were very powerful, and after they found out about this situation, they made a decisive attack and firmly controlled the area near the city gate. At the same time, it will pick up friendly forces in areas 4 and 5 and cover their rear.

However, the two areas of No. 1 and No. 2 did not encounter a large number of enemy troops, and the commander simply took out some of his troops and stuffed them into the hands of Shenqian. The Wujin Battalion and the Heping Summer Battalion, which were supposed to be defensive troops, now began to take the initiative to attack the enemy forces entering Xiaoguan.

No one expected that the war would develop to such a point, and Tang Ning did not expect that he would have to flee for his life against the rain of arrows.

The soldiers of the 200 pro-slave battalion were only 100 people left under the long-range harassment of the Poxi army and the encirclement and interception of the enemy's infantry. The size of Downing's retreat circle is also gradually shrinking.

Tang Ning was hurriedly loading his crossbow arrows, when a Western Xia soldier suddenly appeared in front of him with bared teeth and smiling fiercely. Because of the attrition of the number of people, there is inevitably a gap in the outermost circle.

A few Western Xia soldiers squeezed in through this gap.

Lin Wei was busy pulling the knife out of the neck of another Western Xia soldier, and the crossbow arrow in Tang Ning's hand had not yet been loaded. Seeing that the Xia soldier raised his knife and was about to fall, his head fell to the ground before that.

Pei Xiantong grabbed Tang Ning's hand and asked him to come closer to him. Looking at Tang Ning's panicked face, Pei Xiantong frowned and said, "What are you afraid of?" I'll protect you. ”

“……”

It turns out that a woman saying this to a man will also make a man's heart beat faster, Tang Ning held Pei Xiantong's hand tightly and thought silently.

Cheng Yang is protecting Zhang Jingming, so there is no doubt about Zhang Jingming's safety.

Hearing that Po Xijun seemed to be shouting over there, Tang Ning became nervous again. Then he saw the Poxi army stop in place, and just when Tang Ning was puzzled, a volley of stone bullets rose high from the Poxi army's formation.

"Mom!" Tang Ning couldn't help but scream.

Although there are not many stone bullets, with the current formation, it is certain that they will hit people. And Tang Ning was very suspicious that there was a stone in it that was coming at him, so he subconsciously wanted to run.

"Don't be afraid." Pei Xiantong took Tang Ning's hand again and pulled him back and straightened up

She said to Tang Ning with her chest without contour, "With me, you won't be hurt." ”

"Good sister, I know you're a cow, but that stone bullet is not something you can deal with, do you know what acceleration is, you ......"

Speaking of this, I saw Pei Xiantong take a deep breath and slash towards the sky with the hand holding the sword at an extremely fast speed.

A stone that fell towards Tang Ning was directly cut in half by her sword, grazing Tang Ning's body and sliding through.

"When I didn't say it, you're too big." Downing swallowed.

Although Tang Ning is fine, the others are not. Under this round of stone bullet rain, the personal slave battalion lost more than 60 people, and among the dozen or so civilian officials who ran out with him, there were also seven or eight unlucky people who were killed by this round of stone bullets.

But this was already the last round of attacks by the Poxi army, because they were about to arrive in Area 3, and the enemy forces were already getting fewer and fewer in this vicinity, and the Poxi army did not dare to continue the pursuit without cover.

"Zhang Jingming! Are you okay? Downing shouted.

"I'm fine! How are you? ”

"I'm not hurt either! Pei Daochang is so powerful! ”

“……”

In the end, this group of Zhenjiang Army core team with heavy casualties arrived in Area 3. After entering a house, Tang Ning looked at the grizzled crowd and opened his mouth to say something.

But when the words came to his lips, he still didn't say them. In the end, it became three words: "Hard work." Then, let Pei Xiantong go out with him.

After the two came out, Tang Ning took Pei Xiantong to another house. As soon as he entered the house, Downing sat on the ground and began to gasp for air.

Pei Xiantong squatted beside Tang Ning, looking at Tang Ning's face was not very good. Seeing him frowning again, Pei Xiantong finally pointed to Tang Ning's obviously deflated boots and said, "Were you hit by a stone bullet?" ”

Tang Ning's eyes were red, and he nodded aggrievedly towards Pei Xiantong.

Pei Xiantong hurriedly took off Tang Ning's boots, and saw that Tang Ning's socks were already a piece of blood. Then she carefully took off Downing's socks, and then her eyes widened.

"My little toe hurts...... Tangning said with his eyes closed and gritted his teeth.

Pei Xiantong shook the socks she had taken off from Tang Ning's feet, and a piece of meat foam fell out of it. Pei Xiantong swallowed his spit and said, "Your little toes...... No ......."

"What do you say?"

Tang Ning forgot about the pain when he heard this, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Pei Xiantong, and then looked down at his left foot with only four toes left.

"Your little toe is gone...... Pei Xiantong said guiltily, "I didn't protect you well......"

When he saw his empty little toes, Tang Ning felt that his pain was several times sharper at once

Fold. He wanted to cry out in pain, but he knew he couldn't make a sound.

The purpose of coming to this room and asking Pei Xiantong to help him bandage himself is this, and the current battle situation is at a disadvantage. If the news of the Lord's injury gets out again, it will be a big blow to morale.

So he grabbed his boot and bit it in his mouth, Pei Xiantong also hurriedly opened his water bladder with alcohol, wanting to pour into Tang Ning's wound, but he was afraid that Tang Ning would not be able to bear it.

Pei Xiantong glanced at Tang Ning and said cautiously, "I'm down?" ”

Tang Ning shook his head frantically.

Pei Xiantong thought about it, then found a rope to tie Tang Ning's legs, and then said, "I'd better pour it......"

Tang Ning stretched out her hand frantically towards Pei Xiantong, wanting to snatch the water bladder, but Pei Xiantong seemed to be mistaken, as soon as she grabbed Tang Ning's outstretched hand, and then without the slightest hesitation, she poured the alcohol towards the wound of Tang Ning's little toe.

It's a very profound feeling, the moment when alcohol comes into contact with bones, and the moment when alcohol reacts with bacteria.

If the pain level of the little toe hitting the leg of the stool is ten, then the pain that Downing is experiencing at the moment is a hundred.

The severe pain made Tang Ning's entire body tighten instantly, and the hand that held Pei Xiantong also exerted his strength suddenly. And Pei Xiantong's hand seemed to feel hurt and had a stress reaction, and his backhand was also squeezed hard, and Tang Ning's palm made a crisp sound.

"Oh......" After a miserable scream, Tang Ning rolled his eyes and fainted directly.

“……”

In the two hours that Tang Ning fainted, Lin Wei and Qi Fu had been guarding the door of this room. Pei Xiantong kept going in and out, bringing warm water and ointment, and on the last trip, she brought a blanket in.

And in these two hours, the battle in the pass did not stop. However, unlike the initial disadvantage, the Western Xia soldiers, who were caught in a protracted war with the Song army, gradually lost the momentum they had at the beginning.

In terms of physical strength, it is the Zhenjiang Army that has an absolute advantage. Therefore, the balance of victory is tilting towards the Zhenjiang army.

Alley after alley was filled with corpses, both those of the Xia army and those of the Song army. However, the area controlled by the Zhenjiang army was gradually expanding, and the Western Xia soldiers were slowly retreating under the offensive of the Zhenjiang army.

In the end, the Xia army withdrew from Xiaoguan, and in the first confrontation, the Zhenjiang army won with difficulty.

But the Zhenjiang army also ran out of everything that could be used.

Gunpowder, incendiary bombs, there is nothing left. The missing part of the city wall was also enlarged several times by the Tangut people, and it was difficult to repair.

The number of casualties in this battle is more than 3,000, and the most that can be put into battle next time is only 10,000.

The Zhenjiang army is now in a very poor situation, and if we only talk about the comparison of forces and do not consider other factors, the Zhenjiang army will definitely lose this battle.
