"Kill!"
A steady stream of thieves will charge in waves, and the first wave will be repulsed, and the second wave will follow.
It's not the thieves who are dragging the White Dragon Army musketeers head-on, or the elite thieves who are trying to defeat the Fierce Wolf Battalion and the Iron Blood Battalion on both wings, all of them are like this, and the waves of attacks are non-stop.
Of course, Song Xiance will not let the attack be interrupted, this is a decisive battle, and the enemy cannot be given the slightest respite.
Anyway, he has far more troops than the White Dragon Army, and they can attack in batches and in turns.
On the one hand, it can consume the enemy, and on the other hand, it can allow its subordinates to replenish their physical strength.
And like the White Dragon Army, they have limited manpower, which means that they can only fight all the time, and it is unlikely that they will have a chance to rest.
The worst of all were the thieves who were attacking the White Dragon Army's formation head-on, and all of them had to brave the dense rain of bullets fired by the White Dragon Army's musketeers.
Several charges were repulsed, but immediately Song Xiance would organize a second batch of 'cannon fodder' to rush forward.
Anyway, most of these cannon fodder are old, weak, sick and disabled, as well as some of the young and strong people he brought from Dengfeng, even if they die, Song Xiance can accept it.
The main thing is that Song Xiance wants to drag out the musketeers in the front of the White Dragon Army, and he must not let them disperse to the sides, so the pressure must be maintained on the front.
Fortunately, Song Xiance had enough men and horses in his hands, and wave after wave of charges, and the musketeers of the White Dragon Army were really forced to support the two wings.
After all, once the musketeers in front of the formation retreated to the sides to support, thousands of thieves who desperately charged in front of them might rush in.
At that time, if the two wings are not breached, but the front is breached, the joke will be bigger.
So, from the very beginning of the decisive battle, the front became the Shura field.
Song Xiance no longer knew how many waves of thieves had been dispatched, and in the face of a dense firepower network composed of 1,200 musketeers, they could not break through at all.
And Song Xiance gritted his teeth and insisted on the front, and the thief soldiers sent to attack on both flanks did not successfully break through the two flanks of the White Dragon Army as he expected.
The 'Iron Blood Battalion' led by Xu Qian in the east used their 'Iron Bucket Formation' to block all the thieves attacking their side, and repelled several waves of thieves' attacks.
The effect of the iron bucket array and the iron shell thunder is surprisingly good, and the thief soldiers who have never seen this kind of play for a while are dizzy by the iron shell thunder.
The only thing that is a little dangerous is the fierce wolf camp of the iron egg in the west.
These soldiers of the fierce wolf battalion do not have the ability to put on the 'iron bucket array' on the side of the iron and blood battalion, and their only strength is that they are brave in battle and not afraid of death.
But this time, Song Xiance sent out all of them were his elite soldiers, all of whom were equally brave, which made it difficult for them to fight on their side.
The corpses of the fallen soldiers on both sides have been paved into a long slip, and a wall of corpses almost half a meter high has been piled up, stretching for dozens of meters.
The five hundred reinforcements led by the monk had already joined the battlefield, and Tie Dan was wounded in seven or eight places, but he still stuck to his position.
They all had red eyes, really like a group of fierce wolves with red eyes, and at this time they had only one thought in their hearts, and that was to kill all the enemies who attacked again.
More than 2,000 soldiers of the fierce wolf battalion fell in the battle of just one and a half hours, and most of the remaining half were wounded.
The number of thieves left behind by them was at least three or four times that of them, and compared to the battle on the Iron Blood Battalion's side, the tragic fighting here was even more exciting.
The thieves who charged over again, looking at these soldiers of the Fierce Wolf Battalion who had already been injured but could not be defeated, were already afraid in their hearts.
From the beginning of the decisive battle to now, an hour and a half has passed, and Song Xiance has been delayed long enough on the front.
However, the two wings could not open the situation for a long time, which he never expected.
For a while, Song Xiance was in a hurry, and it would be too unfavorable for them to be entangled in such a situation.
Now, the losses of the thief army under Song Xiance are still not small, and even the thieves under him are no longer willing to charge.
Everyone could see that the front could not rush in at all, and the thieves who were rushing up now were all pushing the shield cart slowly, and they were all hiding behind the shield cart.
Then, hesitantly, he took two steps forward, and then immediately withdrew.
"Damn, how can this be, I don't believe it, Li Zixiao's soldiers are all iron-clad, and they don't know that they are tired after fighting until now!
and what Chen Gang and the charter did to give the two of them so many people, and Lao Tzu also dragged the most powerful musketeers under Li Zixiao for them in the front.
They can't break through Li Zixiao's two flanks of defense until now, it's really a rice bucket, a rice bucket! ”
Song Xiance's face was gloomy as water, and he roared angrily.
At this time, Qi Wei and Li Guo, who were standing on the Wushi Mountain, were high and down, and they could have an overview of the overall situation and overlook the entire battlefield.
"Hey, no, the general's left flank defense line is about to be undefended, who is that team? Could it be the men and horses brought by the general?
I have to say that this battalion of people is really strong, and they can hold out until now with such a small number of people, but their style of play is too aggressive.
They chose to fight hard with the enemy, and there were too many enemies, and they were almost unable to hold it until now. Li Guo said with a sigh.
"Yes, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for the general, why doesn't the general let us go down the mountain, watching it on the mountain like this, it makes people anxious."
Qi Wei was also very anxious, and he couldn't wait to take someone down the mountain immediately.
"Wait, presumably the general must have his plans, I have a hunch that the moment of our attack is approaching."
Li Guo comforted Qi Wei and said.
At the same time, Qi Wei and Li Guo racked their brains, but they didn't come up with the fact that this kind of people guarding Li Zixiao's left flank was the one in the White Dragon Army.
The two of them never imagined that it would be the fierce wolf camp brought back by Tie Dan, and it was precisely because they couldn't think of it, so they were very puzzled by Tie Dan's tough fighting style with the enemy.
As for Qi Wei, he just proposed that it might be the city defense army in Ruzhou City, but then he shook his head and vetoed his judgment.
In Ruzhou City, there are indeed many city defense troops, they do not belong to the system of the White Dragon Army, and their combat power is much worse than that of the White Dragon Army.
For example, at this time, among the men and horses of Qi Wei who were stuck on the Wushi Mountain, there were many city defense soldiers, and most of them were formed by Li Zixiao and the previous Ming army.
Qi Wei still knows the level of combat strength of these city defense forces very well.
If you want to let them deal with those ordinary thieves with similar numbers, they can still do it.
But if you say that, let them build a steel defense line with only 2,000 people, resist the five or six thousand thief army, and attack them in several waves, and they will still be defeated by force.
That Qi Wei believed that it was definitely not something that these city defense troops could do.
That's right, every time the Iron Egg resisted the attack of the thief army, and in the end, they killed the enemy and took the initiative to break and flee.
Even, Tie Dan has to lead his subordinates every time to chase and kill hundreds of meters, it can be said that Tie Dan is really fierce.
Otherwise, in the end, when those thieves rushed over again, they saw Tie Dan, who had already been injured, and their hands and feet were trembling.
In fact, the previous battles that were killed and collapsed left too deep a shadow in their hearts, and it was not easy to overcome this fear.
If it weren't for the persecution of the thieves in the back, and the number of people on Tiedan's side, it was indeed reduced a lot, and they were all injured, it is estimated that those thieves would not rush up again after killing them.
Compared with the fierce wolf camp in the west, although the iron-blooded camp in the east has also been prevented, it is just that their fighting style is not as fierce as the iron egg.
Every time, Xu Qian would command the Iron Blood Battalion, use their invulnerable defense, choose the right moment in the defense, counterattack, and finally fight those thieves who took the initiative to retreat.
Because, the more they fought, the more desperate they became, not to mention that they could not break through the enemy's iron bucket-like defense, and after fighting for a long time, they found that most of their men had fallen.
Either he was stabbed to death by the soldiers of the Iron Blood Battalion with spears sticking out from behind the shield wall, or he was stabbed to death by the spears they thrown, and even more terrible, he was injured by the iron-clad mines.
At this time, the two thief generals who were responsible for attacking the two wings of the White Dragon Army, Charter and Chen Gang, really had bitterness in their hearts and couldn't say it!
"We can't fight like this anymore, we must open the situation as soon as possible, otherwise the morale will collapse, and it seems that we can only use our backhand."
Song Xiance had a gloomy face and thought in his heart.
"Beat the drums, let Shi Yulong and them attack!" With Song Xiance's order, a rapid war drum sounded in the thief army's array.
At this time, just behind the low hill to the east of the White Dragon Army, a group of 3,000 thieves was waiting there quietly.
These 3,000 thief troops, of which 1,000 are still cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers, are also an elite, from the beginning of the war to the present, one of them is lurking here, waiting for Song Xian's order to attack.
Now, the rapid sound of war drums was their agreed order to attack.
I saw a thief general riding a war horse, drew a long knife, and shouted: "Brothers, now rush out with me, kill all those dog officers and soldiers, kill!" ”
The three thousand thieves immediately screamed, rushed out from behind the hill, and cut towards the rear of the White Dragon Army, their target was the White Dragon Army's artillerymen.
At this time, behind the White Dragon Army, there was a part of the iron-blooded battalion soldiers who protected the artillery from the attacks of the thieves on both wings.
And at this time, such a large group of thieves who suddenly rushed out from behind the hill also immediately attracted Li Zixiao's attention.
"Sure enough, there's a backhand!"
Seeing this thief army that suddenly came out from behind the hills, Li Zixiao did not panic and muttered to himself in a low voice.
"Stone, it's up to you."
In the face of this kind of thief army's new force, and it was still rushing straight to the rear of the White Dragon Army, Li Zixiao had no extra troops in his hands to deploy.
He could only turn his gaze to Quartz and speak.
"Yes, General, Quartz understands." Quartz behind Li Zixiao said.
Before the war, Quartz had already received Li Zixiao's instructions, knowing that the guard battalion in his hand would be the last force that could be dispatched in Li Zixiao's hands, and he might have to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
Now this thief army that suddenly came out from behind the hill, Li Zixiao can only send quartz to deal with it.
Li Zixiao couldn't let go of this thief army, and the artillery that attacked him behind him, it was estimated that it would be difficult to hold it with those iron-blooded battalion soldiers and gunners alone.
The reason why Song Xiance was able to have so many troops in his hands was because he had conquered Dengfeng before, and he brought 5,000 young men from Dengfeng.
At the same time, the army of 3,000 thieves, who had been wandering outside before, was recently included in Song Xiance's army.
It was precisely because these two Li Zixiao and others did not know that Li Zixiao made a mistake in calculating the people in Song Xiance's hands at this time.
"Escort battalion, kill me!" Quartz roared angrily and rushed out on horseback, followed by five hundred Li Zixiao's guards.
This guard was to escort Li Zixiao to Ruzhou City, and now it is the only team that Li Zixiao can send out.
Li Zixiao didn't know that Quartz could kill the 3,000 thieves army with only 500 people, and he only needed to delay for a while.
The guards in charge of Quartz are all the elite of the White Dragon Army, and they are all extraordinary in martial arts, they are cavalry immediately, and they are infantry when they dismount.
Soon, Quartz rushed together with the three thousand thieves led by the thief army Shi Yulong with five hundred guards and stopped them halfway, preventing them from approaching the rearguard line of the White Dragon Army.
At the same time, Li Zixiao was in the White Dragon Army, and during this period, he paid attention to the changes in the battlefield
At this time, Li Zixiao's eyes looked towards the north, only to see five black dots gradually appearing in the sky in the distance, and these five black dots were moving towards them.
"Zilong, you can be regarded as here."
When Li Zixiao saw the five faintly visible black dots in the northern sky, his eyes showed a fine light, and he said happily.
Whew!
The cold north is blowing, and today's wind is not too strong, and at this time, in the north of the Wushi Mountain, five things like enlarged Kong Ming lanterns are floating and slowly drifting towards the south.
If there were future generations here, they would definitely recognize it at a glance, it was five hot air balloons.
At this time, these five hot air balloons were floating at a height of several hundred meters above the ground, and with the help of the north, they were slowly flying towards the south, and they were still rising, and they would soon come to the top of the top of the mountain.
And in one of the hot air balloons, Zhao Zilong was also nervous at this time, staying in a basket, and there were two white dragon sergeants next to him, who were also very nervous.
Although, this is already the experience of flying this kind of hot air balloon several times before, and they are still very careful at this time.
At the same time, they also admired Li Zixiao even more in their hearts, because they knew that this kind of thing that could fly into the sky was made by Li Zixiao before.
"Xiao Er, turn up the flames a little higher, and be knocked into the Wushi Mountain." Zhao Zilong shouted at a white dragon sergeant next to him.
At the same time, Zhao Zilong was also lying on the side of the basket, looking down, only to see that they were about to fly over the Wushi Mountain at this time.
Even, Zhao Zilong could already see Qi Wei and other White Dragon soldiers and horses on the top of the Wushi Mountain.
That's right, this is the back hand that Li Zixiao is waiting for.
