The war drums are rumbling, and the long horns are melodious and exciting!

The allied forces of Duli Town and Da Xie Yan landed on the shore, and the troops were divided into two routes. Pei You commanded the combined fleet, under the cover of the cannons on Yangzizi Island, and the whole army rushed straight to the shore of Shikou Wharf. After a long time of temptation, Feng Zhang finally made up his mind to attack and led the army to storm the Beishan Wharf.

For a while, the defenders of Shamen Town at Shikou Wharf and Beishan Wharf seemed to be in a dilemma of fighting on both sides, losing and retreating continuously. Feng Zhang left a few captains to stay at the shore wharf, and self-unified the army to kill the Beishan wharf.

Li Jing led the army to meet the attack, lined up on the dock, stood under the banner, and stood upright.

Under the firelight, Feng Zhang saw Li Jing standing under the arrow tower of the fortress from a distance, and couldn't help but raise his horsewhip and scolded on the horse: "Rat thief, dare to deceive me repeatedly, and I will take your life today!" As he spoke, he raised his whip and ordered all the soldiers to cover up and kill.

Although the bows and crossbows flew together on the three fortresses and the nine arrow towers, it was difficult to see the enemy in the dark, and the crossbow arrows were not accurate, although the arrows rained down, but there were not many big Xie soldiers who were hit by the arrows. On the Baked Cake Island, which was only two or three hundred paces away, Da Xie's heavy crossbows and throwing cannons were also constantly whistling and shooting, and crossbow arrows and cannon stones were constantly smashing into the fortresses and arrow towers on the dock.

Feng Zhang's troops lined up in a huge array of fish scales with shields and horizontal guns, and a group of soldiers lined up into small fish scales, shouting and rushing up. Li Jing led the long lance infantry phalanx of the Iron Wall Battalion to form a dense phalanx and stand under the arrow tower of the fortress. The two quickly collided. The fish scales of the Great Xie Yan Army quickly gathered together again. The two sides were hand-to-hand. Fight to the death.

Li Jing and his personal guards stood in front of the formation, and the horizontal lance successively picked out several big Xie soldiers, and saw that the big Xie soldiers behind were rushing up in a steady stream. The soldiers of the Iron Wall Battalion have been training for a long time, and they have experienced the last time they took turns to suppress bandits, and they are no longer recruits who have not seen blood. They were dressed in light leather armor, iron helmets, and a battle robe, with a large red cloak that reached to their heels hanging from their shoulders. On his left arm he was holding a round cowhide shield. The shield was also tied with a cowhide band and hung around the neck. In both hands, he held an infantry lance that was eight feet long and five meters long.

They formed a dense phalanx, and the shields in their hands formed an iron wall, not only to cover for themselves, but also for the brothers next to them. Their lances were thick and extraordinarily long, stretched out in rows like a giant hedgehog spreading its thorns.

Strike the lance and stab out, forward.

The fish scale array of the Great Xie soldiers collided with the long lance infantry phalanx, and people kept falling.

"Crossbowmen, salvo!" Feng Zhang yelled. I fought for a long time. Although Li Jing's ghost fire is also thrown from time to time, it can be under such a night. Sure enough, he couldn't inflict too many casualties on him. This ghost fire is really powerful on the sea, it can burn when it meets water, and the ship will be finished as soon as it is stained with this ghost fire on the water. But on the shore, it was different, and the damage of the ghost fire was much reduced. smashed on the ground, and the most sloppy was splashed to the two or three people next to him. Calculated together, such damage is not even as great as the threat of a direct projectile.

In comparison, what is most harmful to them now is the crossbow arrows and stone throws that are constantly being shot from the three fortresses and the nine arrow towers, although the night makes the accuracy poor, but the shooting from the sky still hurts his people a lot.

Finally rushed to the front of the formation, Feng Zhang immediately ordered a bow and crossbow attack. The opponent's huge and extra-long infantry phalanx was really powerful, and the soldiers couldn't rush into it at all. However, there is no unbreakable phalanx in the world, and no matter how long the lance phalanx is, it can't block the attack of the bow and arrow.

The Great Xie soldiers took off their bows and crossbows one after another, and pieces of bows and arrows drilled into the phalanx of the advancing soldiers like flying locusts. Although there was a round shield to block it, casualties were still inevitable.

Li Jing waved his lance to block several arrows in front of him in a row, and when he saw that almost all of the Da Xie soldiers had gone ashore, he immediately ordered: "Retreat!" ”

The sound of war drums and horns and the iron whistles of the leaders of the squadron, the Iron Wall Battalion began to retreat slowly. At the beginning, the retreat was very formation, but Feng Zhang immediately ordered the whole army to cover up, and immediately Li Jing took the lead in escaping on horseback, and then the Tiebi battalion also began to turn around and run. The formation was no longer there, so in the cover of the Da Xie soldiers, they could only flee in a hurry.

Li Jing rode his horse and galloped wildly, ran for a while, rushed to the foot of the north mountain, bypassed the foot of the mountain, and there was a ditch in front of him, and Li Jing entered the temporary command tent set up in the ditch. As soon as he entered the account, Li Jing immediately drank half a pot of water in one gulp and said, "Feng Zhang has already taken the bait, are you ready?" ”

Levi smiled and said, "I thought that old guy had already been scared by us, but I didn't expect that he would be able to go crazy again." Rest assured, General, the beacon tower on the top of the North Mountain has already been prepared, and as soon as we light the signal fire here, it will be lit immediately. The fire was visible to the whole town. ”

Seeing Li Jing's defeat and escape, Feng Zhang was ecstatic in his heart, and desperately urged the whole army to rush forward, vowing to break the Shamen army and go straight into the town.

Feng Zhang rode to the side and said loudly: "Li Jing'er has always been scheming, and now he is retreating so quickly, this seems to be a problem, uncle, please beware of fraud." My nephew thought that we should slow down for the time being and take down the forts and arrow towers on the docks first. ”

Although Li Jing led the troops to withdraw, the crossbowmen on the three fortresses and the nine arrow towers were still there, and they were still guarding them and constantly firing arrows. This fortress was so high and strong that it could not be taken for a while.

Feng Zhang looked at his nephew Feng Xun with some dissatisfaction, and reprimanded loudly: "When you march and fight, what you pay attention to is to be vigorous. Now the soldiers are coming to the city, and they are about to reach the edge of Hao. Li Jing has been defeated and fled, and his troops will be scattered. At this time, if he doesn't get up and chase and kill, will he have to wait for him to turn around and gather his troops and horses to fight again? It's really rotten wood that can't be carved, go down quickly. I'm here with your 3,000 men, and I'm in charge of taking down the fortress and the tower, and clearing the docks. ”

Retreated Feng Xun, Feng Zhang led more than 10,000 soldiers of the new victory and drove straight forward. The soldiers and horses rushed to the foot of the north mountain, but only heard a drum, and suddenly a group of soldiers and horses came out at the foot of the mountain. But it was the same soldier and horse who had retreated and fled earlier. It's time to get back together. There were about 1,000 people, but the formation was obviously unorganized.

Feng Zhang saw that instead of worrying, he laughed. Feng Lin, the head of the family next to him, asked on the side, "Why is the Lord laughing?" ”

"I laughed at Li Jing's defeat and defeat, and he actually wanted to turn the tables, just relying on this bit of people and horses to block the general, it was really a mantis arm blocking the car, and he couldn't do it." Feng Zhangda smiled and saw this soldier. Some of his worries disappeared. Li Jing only has many soldiers and horses, and now he has to fight against himself, but also has to fight with Pei You, fight on both sides, and have to leave troops to defend the rest of the docks and forts, and how many soldiers and horses does he have.

Li Jing, Li Jing, it's no wonder that you are too greedy, and you have to build a fortress so big. If it had been repaired a little smaller, the fort city would have become the elite of the soldiers of Shamen Town. If you abandon the four docks, you just hold on to the fort and don't come out. Sticking to Dengzhou's help, maybe they really can't do it. Since Li Jingtuo divided his troops to face the battle, then he was killing himself.

"Who will defeat this thief with me!" Feng Zhangda said with a smile.

Feng Lin immediately jumped forward and said loudly: "Lord, I am willing to go!" He saw that the soldiers of Shamen Town seemed to be about to be defeated, so he asked for orders with a high voice, wanting to pick up a bargain and make a military feat.

Feng Zhang nodded, and Feng Lin immediately led the army to kill him. A burst of strong bows and crossbows, a rain of arrows attacked, and the soldiers on the opposite side finally lost their support and were defeated again. Feng Lin drove the army to catch up.

Suddenly, a gust of wind suddenly rose, blowing off the bamboo pole of the Chinese military flag. A general under his command said: "This is not a good omen, please be more careful, general, it is better to return to the dock for the time being." Feng Zhang was also a little uneasy in his heart, but when he heard what the captain under his command said, he aroused the anger in his heart, rejected the captain's suggestion, and ordered the whole army to follow Feng Lin and continue to chase and kill.

The soldiers of the Iron Wall Battalion were defeated and fled all the way at this time, but they were defeated but not defeated. They adhered to Li Jing's military orders, deceived and defeated, but did not flee straight to the fort all the way, but fled in a zigzag circle, seemingly chaotic, but in fact they were all running in one direction.

Feng Lin only cared about leading people to chase and kill, and didn't care about anything else at all. When he was about to catch up, he suddenly saw a fire on the top of the north mountain, and it was red. He hesitated, and then Feng Zhang arrived later, and when he saw that he was not moving forward, he was about to ask a question. Suddenly, I heard another drum and horn, and then suddenly there was a whistling sound of tax profits on the mountain.

Feng Zhang looked up and saw that they were already at the foot of the North Mountain at this time, and on the slopes of the North Mountain, countless torches suddenly rose. I saw that in the firelight, the soldiers and horses were dense, and many carts and cannons could be faintly seen.

Huge fireballs of fiery red were smashing towards them with a blazing tail flame, and there were countless iron crossbow arrows mixed with them. At the foot of the North Mountain, the not wide place was now gathered nearly 10,000 Great Xie soldiers, and the dense fireballs fell into the formation one after another, and the sudden blow immediately threw the Great Xie soldiers into chaos.

At this moment, another whistling sound came, and many frightened Da Xie soldiers looked up, only to see a black spot of black crows flying in the sky, and behind each black spot there was a string of orange-red fireworks.

Some of the great Xie soldiers who participated in the last battle of Phoenix Mountain Wharf shouted in panic: "Ghost fire, it's ghost fire!" ”

After the last battle, the ghost fire in Shamen Town has been spread by countless people, and the ghost fire has become a real hellfire. If it appears, it will not be spared. Seeing so many ghostly fires appear, those soldiers were terrified and frightened.

The officers restrained loudly, but no one could stop their panic. Although there were tens of thousands of them at this time, even if all those ghost fires were thrown into the army, they would not be able to kill many people, but the fear of ghost fire in their hearts made them lose their minds and began to flee in all directions.

Hundreds of canisters burst open in the small area, splashing orange-red fireworks one after another.

Hundreds of soldiers who had been hit or splashed by the fires let out inhuman howls of fear, fled in all directions, rolled on the ground, but could not extinguish the maggots attached to their bones. In the midst of that terrible howl, it finally turned into a pile of reef coal.

When the first wave of fireballs attacked, Feng Zhang's face had already changed drastically. He knew what was going on, and he was hidden by Li Jing again. It's an ambush, it's an ambush. Even Feng Xun saw the problem, but he couldn't figure it out.

But at this point, what he was thinking about was not to escape, but to continue to rush forward. In the last battle of Phoenix Mountain, he escaped, his reputation was ruined, and thousands of his subordinates became prisoners. Afterwards, he thought that maybe he would fight hard and continue to attack, and the final result might be what would be.

This time, all his capital is on the bank, and he can only win and not lose. Defeat is death, even if he can escape back to Da Xie Yan, it will not be a good result in the end.

"Keep rushing, rush forward, rush with me!" Feng Zhangsheng roared with all his might, and the big Xie soldiers around him finally began to find the backbone and gathered over mechanically. It's just that as soon as they gathered more than a thousand horses, the catapults and ballistas on the mountain immediately aimed at them and struck them, and hundreds of fireballs fell one after another, as well as the terrifying ghost fire. The more than 1,000 people who barely gathered were immediately dispersed.

Feng Zhang roared angrily and shouted, but no one was willing to gather again. Everyone found out, and as soon as they gathered, the mountains would violently concentrate on them. Running separately is much safer.

"Come back to me, listen to me"

Feng Zhang held a long lance in his hand, rode his horse vertically and horizontally, and roared loudly, but no one listened to him. Suddenly, a huge iron crossbow roared and nailed straight into the neck of his war horse, and the war horse was nailed to the ground before it could scream. As soon as he shook his feet, he heard a whistling sound approaching in his ears, and he turned his head subconsciously to look, and a huge fireball in his pupils continued to approach and expand. Shocked, he rolled to the side, but the huge fireball still hit one of his legs.

A burst of pain came, and Feng Zhang felt that his leg was broken. Then came an even more intense burning sensation, and he was on fire.

"Ah!!h

Feng Zhang let out an unwilling howl of anger, and then the whole person was burned into a humanoid torch. He dragged his broken leg and rolled on the ground, but he struggled only for a few more moments, and finally fell to the ground motionless, emitting a foul smell of burning.

The chaos at the foot of the mountain continued, and countless fireballs and divine fires finally ignited the small area. It was only at this time that many of the Great Xie soldiers who were still colliding and pushing around realized that there were a lot of hay scattered under their feet. No one had noticed this in the darkness of the night, but at this moment, the hay began to burn, and the sparks quickly ignited the prairie fire.

At first, there was a little bit of fire, and after the last fire, the fire became bigger and bigger, gradually connecting into one, and the fire was blazing, reaching through the sky. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
