"The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day is murderous and arsonous. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Yang Zhi walked on the only official road outside the climax town, took a step, put a feather arrow on the ground, and then stepped lightly with his foot, and all of them gently sank into the ground one by one.

"Good weather, really good weather!" Looking at the dark and dreary sky, Yang Zhi sighed with emotion while looking at the feather arrows on the ground, "Fifty-one, it's still far from ninety-nine!" ”

Fifty-one arrows, this is the limit that Yang Zhi can control now. When he could control ninety-nine feather arrows at the same time, his martial arts cultivation stood in front of that gate, and the day when ninety-nine returned to one was the moment when he stepped into the realm of the grandmaster.

In fact, at Yang Zhi's age, there are only a handful of people who can have such cultivation, looking at the world, which is enough for him to be proud, but as long as he thinks of Qin Feng, Yang Zhi is inexplicably depressed, and he has no sense of superiority at all.

People are more angry than people.

Behind him, three hundred full-fledged generals, the man with a mace in his hand stood upright, inexplicably looking at where Yang Zhi was swinging his feather arrows, this Yama King had great martial arts, the most powerful among them, and he was like a naughty boy in his hands, of course, no one could touch his bottom line.

Of course, no one dared to ask. These days, Yang Zhi's obscenity in their minds has gone deep into the bone marrow.

After putting away the arrows, he walked back to the team, looking at the men who were standing there upright, Yang Zhi pouted, "You stupid, we can't do it until dawn, this weather, even if the beacon smoke is lit over there, can you see it here?" Sit back and relax. ”

With a bang, three hundred men sat down.

Yang Zhi shook his head, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and put on a comfortable posture.

Safflower set. Under the fluttering banner of the Chinese army, a personal guard who looked like Zou Ming put on a general's uniform, riding a horse majestically, around him, except for dozens of soldiers, the others were some dummies wearing armor, and farther away, there were only torches, no one. The real commander of the attack on the Red Flower Trap was Zhang Xuzhi, the tooth general of the Perak Battalion, and there were only 1,000 soldiers who attacked here.

And the brigade led by Zou Ming has already taken advantage of the night to pass through the safflower set and move towards Leye County. Before them, the messengers sent out by the Red Flower Sets to ask for help had already set out.

Zhang Xuzhi slowly pulled out his saber, raised it, and fell down suddenly.

Directly in front of the team, rows of crossbow machines suddenly let out a screaming sound, whistling and flying towards the simple camp of the Qi army in the distance. Although there were only a thousand men, they were armed with hundreds of ballistas and stone cannons, and when the crossbow machines began to roar, the stone cannons also let out a dull roar.

The Perak Battalion benefited from the fact that it was previously stationed in Feng County, and every latest weapon from the Taiping City Soldiers' Workshop was always sent to them for trial after it was developed, and then put forward suggestions for further improvement, and over the years, their equipment was not only varied, but also amazing.

Tonight, taking advantage of the high wind in the dark moon, the Perak battalion launched a surprise attack, dense with torches and dense long-range strikes, successfully misleading Zhou Huai'an, the defender of the Red Flower Trap Qi army. The intensity of those torches was not enough for him to determine the number of opponents' attacks, but when such a dense long-range attack came to his face, he was sure that his front was indeed the main force of the Ming army.

Because of such a dense crossbow shooting, it is obvious that the main force will be equipped with so much. When he received the news of the scouts and the Ming army was attacking in a big way, he had already sent a messenger to Leye County to ask for help, and at the same time, he also set up a defensive line on a hill, logging as a barrier, building stones as an obstacle, digging earth and building a wall, and when he did all this, the Ming army also arrived in front of him.

Sitting behind the earthen wall, Zhou Huai'an was not panicked, this mountain is not big, and there is nothing precipitous, in fact, in Leye County, there is no precipitous terrain, what makes him more trusting is the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command. According to his estimates, he probably only needs to guard until the sun rises tomorrow, and the main force of Leye County should arrive.

In front of him, it should be the main force of the Ming army, and if nothing else, there should be a small Ming army in the direction of the climax to contain the Qi army there.

The combat power of the Ming army is not bad, and it is even quite powerful. The Perak camp became famous in the first battle of Tzu Chi, and in Shayang County, the battle between the Ming army and the Qi army made the Qi people more vigilant. But that's all, Zhou Huai'an was convinced that under the condition of equal forces, the Qi army would definitely be able to defeat the other party. In Shayang, the other party has a strong city wall to defend, so it is naturally a big advantage, and now, it is they who attack and defend themselves.

With a whoosh, a crossbow arrow pierced through the improvised earthen wall, and only came to the door in front of him, two fingers reached out and clamped, the tail of the crossbow arrow buzzed and trembled, but it could no longer move forward.

But this crossbow arrow made Zhou Huai'an a little frightened. Under the light of the torches, the crossbow arrows shone faintly, and the whole crossbow arrows were much shorter than ordinary arrows, and the whole body was made of steel, and the tail did not have the feathers that are usually used to stabilize flight, but the whole arrow shaft was carved with grooves, and it seemed that the crossbow arrows were flying steadily, relying on these grooves. They have no tail feathers, and their bolts rely on a powerful force, which makes them extremely penetrating.

"Let's be careful, pile the wood behind the earthen wall." He stood up and shouted.

While walking, he looked up at the sky, and from time to time there were stone bullets falling on it, and with a wave of his knife, some of the stone bullets that fell were knocked away, Zhou Huai'an walked to the forefront of the position and looked down.

Compared with the Ming army's crossbow arrows, which could only shoot flat and fly in a straight line and could not shoot back, these stone bullets posed a greater threat to the defenders. Obviously, the commander of the Ming army also knew this, after the second round of crossbow arrows, more was the blow of stone bullets, and the frequency of fire of the crossbow machine was significantly reduced.

Zhou Huai'an has seen the crossbow machine of the Ming army, it is a sample obtained by the ghost shadow in every possible way, the whole body is made of steel and solid wood, the entire crossbow frame is on the base, it can rotate freely at 360 degrees, the weight is only half of the crossbow machine of the Qi army, the range is closer, but the rate of fire is much faster, and more importantly, he can move freely.

It's a pity that such a good thing can't be made by the Qi people's arsenal. The Qi army attacked Shayang County, in fact, a large part of it also wanted to take Taiping City and Daye City, and take these two places as their own.

Unfortunately, it failed.

Zhou Huai'an sighed, the powerful Qi State couldn't make something invented by a small Ming man, it was really unbelievable to say.

Shaking his head and sighing, the Qi people's trebuchets began to counterattack, and one after another stone bullets cut an arc in the air and fell towards the dense torches in the distance. Each one would extinguish several torches, but the rate of fire was too slow, and it took him half a day to shoot a shot, and he was even more annoyed when he looked at the trebuchets behind him that required more than a dozen people to operate.

The stone artillery of the Ming army fired one round after another, and the crossbow machine would only fire one round after another every half an hour, as if they were not in a hurry to attack the position of the Qi army, which made Zhou Huai'an a little confused. This seemed like a good thing, because he didn't have to lose too much to hold out until the arrival of the reinforcements.

But if something is abnormal, it must be a demon, what does the Ming army want to do? Could it be that they are still waiting for reinforcements to arrive before the decisive battle? He couldn't figure it out. If he were in command, of course, he would concentrate all his forces to annihilate the defenders here first, and then wait for reinforcements to come for a decisive battle.

If you can't figure it out, you can only wait and see what happens.

Time passed slowly between this strange attack and defense, and the sky finally revealed a trace of fish belly white, summer mornings, always let the night suddenly disappear without a trace inadvertently, and today is the same. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the night was swept away, and standing on the position on the top of the mountain, Zhou Huai'an could see clearly where the Ming army was in the distance.

He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Where is the main force of the Ming army, in front of him, there are only more than 1,000 Ming troops at most, but now, these Ming troops are retreating backwards, and in a farther place, a chest wall is horizontal in front, the Ming army actually took advantage of the night to build a defensive position last night, and now, the Ming army is retreating to those defensive positions in an orderly manner.

Aren't they attackers? Zhou Huai'an's eyes widened.

Next, he saw two beacon flames ignite, and two pillars of smoke of different colors lifted up into the sky.

Suddenly, the cold sweat on Zhou Huai'an's face flowed down. These two beacons of different colors are their signals, these two represent that he has reached a dangerous point, and if one of another color is added, it means that he is already in a hurry. How could the Akito know the code they had agreed upon?

They lit these beacon fires, naturally for the Qi army in Leye County and Climax Town. Zhou Huai'an suddenly understood that the Ming army was simply fake when they attacked themselves, and their purpose was probably to climax town, and eating the thousand troops there was the goal of the Ming people. The main forces of the Ming army must have been ambushed in that direction.

Until this time, Zhou Huai'an still didn't expect that the target of the Ming army was not the Qi army in Climax Town, but the main force of the Qi army in Leye County.

Cold sweat was streaming down, and he was now faced with a difficult choice, whether to attack the Ming army on the opposite side? If he attacked, the roles of the two sides would be reversed, and he would inevitably face the dense firepower of the Ming army, thinking about the crossbow arrows that pierced the earthen wall, he was really a little difficult to make up his mind.

Ming Jun was sitting firmly in Diaoyutai and was staring at him coldly, Zhou Huai'an finally made up his mind that no matter what, he would give it a try.

"Prepare to attack!" With a frustrated palm, he smashed a section of earthen wall in front of him.
