(Thank you for the dream from the end, the book friend 110228095052234, and the Dune force to measure the rewards and monthly tickets of several book friends, thank you!) Ask for recommended tickets and commuter passes! )

The horn sounded again, and it was low and long, like a strong wind from the sea, and it was chilling. Levi immediately responded with an iron whistle, beep The whistle was sharp and piercing, and everyone's hearts were boiling with this whistle, and their hearts were beating violently. Levi was nervous and self-absorbed at this point, and the sound of the enemy's horn had sounded, meaning that the castle guards had heard the previous alarm. It won't be long before the hundreds of guards in the castle will rush in.

At this time, the jack gate at that time could only move up little by little, which made him anxious. If they can't open the iron gates, they can't find them to open them manually. Then the large troops outside the city will not be able to enter the city, and the troops outside the city will not be allowed to enter the city, and none of the reconnaissance teams that enter the city at this time will want to escape.

Levi swung his sword and gave a command, and the voices of dozens of scouts responded in unison. Levi threw off the crossbow machine that had been shot empty, and rushed forward with his sword and shield, and then the crossbowmen behind him also dropped the crossbow machine and rushed forward, joining the hand-to-hand combat. As Levi ran, he screamed and shouted, "Remember, guard the gates!" At first, Levi rushed to the front, but after a while, the seventy or eighty men under his command were already on the same page as him.

Directly ahead, half of the twenty guards guarding the gate had fallen from their crossbow arrows. At this time, the remaining dozen or so guards were very experienced, one holding a shield and the other holding a gun, lined up together to form a small phalanx of spears, and the ten shields covered each other. They are like a hedgehog with spikes spread all over their bodies. Hide behind a sturdy turtle shell.

Levi: They faced this tortoise hedgehog array. Resolutely rushed straight into the past.

Time waits for no one. They had to get rid of the guards in the gate before the rest of the castle guards arrived, and at the same time defend the gate. In the face of these spears, Levi ran and accelerated, then jumped high, the shield in his hand slammed into several spears with the swing of his left hand, and the horizontal knife in his right hand slashed and slashed a spear, and his feet slammed on the guard's shield with great impact. The whole person had been forced into the small formation of the guards.

As soon as they squeezed into the spear array, the spears of the guards became the biggest constraint. Li Jing blocked with a shield in one hand, and slashed left and right with a horizontal knife in the other, killing blood flowing. The scouts in the back took advantage of this opportunity and also broke into the gap. Under Levi's crazy and fierce attack, the little hedgehog turtle array immediately cracked and collapsed. One by one, the pikemen guards were hacked to the ground, and there was not a single standing guard left at the back of the gate.

There was no time to catch his breath when the horn sounded again in the castle, and a large number of shouts and footsteps were rushing towards the city gate. Levi quickly led the scouts back to form three human walls again at the entrance of the city gate. While panting, everyone quickly reloaded the crossbow arrows they had just recovered.

Far away. Levi had seen a group of castle guards running towards him. He turned his head frequently, and the iron door had only just been pulled up more than a foot above the ground. It will take at least half an hour to pull the whole door up.

"Don't waste arrows, wait until they get close before shooting, first row raise shields!" Levi wiped the mixture of blood and rain on his face and shouted calmly.

Close, close. The guards of the castle were getting closer and closer, and the men at the front had stopped and lined up in formation with their bows and arrows outstretched. There was a roar, and suddenly a rain of arrows came. Fortunately, in the rainstorm at this time, the power of the bow and arrow in the rain was greatly reduced, and even half of the usual power could not be reached, and at most only thirty percent of the power. The shield wall of scouts in the first row stopped the rain of arrows, and none of the crossbow-wielding soldiers behind them were injured.

Seeing that the effect was not good, the castle guards began to move forward dozens of steps again, and as soon as they stopped, Levi immediately swung his sword and shouted: "Fire!" ”

Sixty crossbows were fired at the same time this time, and a row of crossbow nails were fired into the enemy formation, taking the guards by surprise, and more than a dozen people fell to the ground with arrows. Levi didn't give this group of vanguard troops a chance to pick up and start over, and directly swung his sword and charged. Eighty scouts pounced like wolves, not giving them the slightest chance to retreat. When a few stupid guards saw Levi rushing to the front, they thought they had a advantage to take advantage of him, and rushed towards him, but Levi took up his knife and cut off the head of the man who rushed to the front. The other rushed up, and Levi objected to a knife that slashed into the opponent's chest, splitting the iron armor and muscles with a horizontal knife, and directly slashed into the man's internal organs at the very end, killing him instantly. The horizontal knife got stuck in the sternum and could not be pulled out for a while.

Levi gave up his horizontal knife and swung his round shield in his left hand, and one shot straight at it, and the sharp cone in the center of the shield pierced directly into the temple of the other person. The man immediately slipped limply into the rain, and Levi turned around and pulled out his horizontal knife from the corpse in front of him, struck it fiercely on the shield, and roared wildly in the sky, letting out an unstoppable roar.

A javelin was fired at Levi, and with a thud it slammed into the shield, and Levi chased after him with his knife. The other party lifted the shield and fled, and Levi pursued all the way, slashing at the shield one after another, and the splinters of wood flew sideways. Eventually, the man slipped and fell in the rain as he got back, and Levi took the opportunity to chop off his head with a knife.

Killing this person, Levi got a rare short respite, he looked left and right, only to suddenly find that he had unknowingly killed into the center of the enemy's formation, not only him, but also the people in the reconnaissance capital had already fallen into a melee with the enemy, entangled in the rain.

A scout ran toward him, and the most stumbling servant fell to the ground, a piercing spear stuck in his back. The man is no longer saved, and the brother was just here to save him. When Levi carried a knife to avenge his brother, the other party fought with a knife. The man was tall and burly, more than seven feet tall, and he was holding a huge two-handed sword in his hand.

"Die!" He screamed, his sword sank, and Levi circled him. Looking for opportunities. Constantly swinging his sword and slashing at his shoulders and thighs. However, this person was actually wearing a double layer of armor on his body, and Levi's sword slashed on it, which could only explode into a piercing sound, but could not break through the defense. The strong man raised his sword with both hands and slashed at Levi, who couldn't dodge it and raised his shield to block it.

There was a loud bang, and Levi's entire arm and tiger mouth were numb. The shield cracked with a thud. Debris splashes.

"Die!" The man let out a loud roar, and another sword slashed at Levi's head. Levi's shield was broken, so he had to hold the knife with both hands to meet him, a sound of gold and iron sounded, his hands were sore, the horizontal knife was smashed back to the helmet, a buzzing sound sounded in his ears, Levi's whole person was in a daze, and fell to the ground.

The man laughed wildly and raised his sword in both hands again, intending to slash at Levi.

Right now. Behind the battlefield on a rainy night, an earth-shattering shout suddenly sounded! "Revenge for the old boss!"

"Fight for Zhendonghai!" Wave after wave of sound is higher than wave. "Kill!"

In the midst of this wave, several warriors rushed forward, and the strong man's sword was still raised, and the first one had already fired three arrows in quick succession, and the arrows pierced through the rain and mist, and shot at the strong man's face, wrists, and soles.

The strong man let out an extremely painful scream, the big sword in his hand fell off, and the whole person fell to the ground. At this time, two more people caught up one after another, one of them had a copper mace and a steel whip, and the two whip mirrors mercilessly smashed on the head of the strong man who was not dead.

Li Wei shook his head, which was still dizzy, and barely struggled to get up, only to find that the three people standing in front of him who had just saved him were Li Jing, Liu Shouqian and Zhang Chengzong.

"General, have the gates been opened?"

"It's already opened, Zijun, thanks to you, you have made a great contribution this time." Li Jing smiled and helped the cousin up.

Dizzy, Levi stood up and picked up the horizontal knife that had struck a gap. With a slight movement of his hand, a sharp pain rushed from his elbow to his brain. The battle seemed to have advanced into the depths of the fortress, and there were no living people left in his place except for a large number of corpses. He saw that Whitebeard and a large number of pirates were pouring out of the city gate and galloping forward. A large number of pirates were forcing the fort guards to retreat towards the center of the fort, and the two armies were fighting to the death in the alleys, and the straggler line of the pirates ran into another wall made of oval iron nails. I saw countless arrows flying back and forth in the air, and the people on both sides of the shield wall fell to the ground from time to time. But on the whole, the island's guards relied on tight shields, which reduced many casualties. The scattered lines of the pirates also reduced the damage caused by bows and arrows.

However, although the guards on the island were still holding on, at this time, everyone knew that the guards of Cat Island were finished, and they were just slowing down the time of death.

"General, I think we're about to win." He said to Li Jing with a smile.

The castle had been opened, the gates of the tortoiseshell fortress where the guards rested had been breached, and the other walls, no matter how strong, had been rendered useless. Victory is already in our hands, and it's just a matter of time before we go.

"What about the casualties of the brothers in the reconnaissance capital?" Levi spat out a few mouthfuls of muddy water in his mouth and asked with a heavy heart.

Li Jing comforted him and said, "Don't worry, the city gate was opened in time, and many brothers were injured, but not many were killed." Most of them are flesh wounds plus detachment and cold, and there is nothing to do after resting and recovering for a few days. ”

As soon as they finished speaking, the horn of Zhendonghai sounded again, and Whitebeard threw all the reserves into battle at once. The pirates poured out of their nests, swarming upwards, and kept pushing forward along the streets and alleys to clean.

The black skull banner fluttered in the wind and rain, and the island's guards were completely defeated, like fine porcelain that had been hammered with an iron hammer. Looking at all this, Li Jing knew that Cat Island was about to face a massacre, but he was powerless and didn't want to take care of it. He did not participate in the massacre and purge, but took the Xiao family's family members to start looking for the subordinates of the reconnaissance team.

Many of them were found in the pile of dead people, and Zhao Jiang, the deputy leader of the first team of the reconnaissance capital, fell in a pool of blood, and his left hand below the elbow was completely gone. There were still five or six comrades beside him, all of whom had been guarding the gallows without giving a step, and the brothers who were covering the gallows had enough time to open the jack gate.

Duan Shan, the leader of the second team, and Ding Ren, the deputy of the team, fell on the side of the road on the city wall with arrows all over their bodies, and Li Jing thought that both of them had unfortunately died in battle. When he approached, Duan Shan suddenly opened his eyes and said weakly: "They killed Lao Ding!" Ding Ren was hit by more than 20 arrows in his body, one of which hit the left eye socket and penetrated deep into the skull.

Li Jing helped Duan Shan up with his own hands, and the arrows on Duan Shan's body were no less than Ding Ren's, but his luck seemed to be good, and the arrows were shot on the back of his shoulders and legs. Duan Shan didn't seem to care about the arrows on his body at all, and he actually pulled them up one by one with his hands.

"Fortunately, Lao Tzu is big, and he usually feels that the leather armor on his body is too light and fluttering, so he deliberately got a pair of steel wire inner armor to wear on his body. It cost me a hundred yuan to find the old king's head to fight this armor, and I also invited more than a dozen meals of wine. At that time, I was distressed for a long time, but I didn't expect that this armor was really fucking strong, and this time it was all up to it to choose a life. The dog of the dog's day, a hundred pieces of treasure armor, Lao Tzu still plans to keep it as an heirloom in the future, now it's okay, make so many holes, and go back and ask the old king to drink to make up for it. ”

Li Jing and Li Wei worked together to help Duan Shan pull out the arrows that he couldn't reach. A few arrows shot very deeply, through two layers of armor and into the flesh, and when he pulled it out, he screamed in pain.

"You should be satisfied, there will be a blessing after the catastrophe, why bother with that little thing outside the body?" Li Jing smiled and scolded a few words, but he still cherished this such a brave subordinate. "When I go back, I will directly ask the armory workshop to make two new pairs of armor for you, one outside and one inside, it will definitely be better than your current one, and then let you wear it for a lifetime, and you can also leave it to your children and grandchildren as heirlooms."

When a few people were pulling out arrows under the city gate, the fifth team of the first team of the reconnaissance capital came over with dozens of subordinate brothers who had gathered together, and directly carried a cloth bag that was still dripping blood.

"What's that?" Li Wei took the initiative to ask on behalf of Li Jing.

The fifth grinned, "Ears! ”

The fifth concubine had just gathered his brothers, and by the way, he and his subordinates cut off all the left ears of the castle guards who died in battle beside them. "There were fifty-four ears in all, all of them left. That's the result of our first team! ”

Li Jing stopped the reckless man of the fifth concubine and wanted to pour out the bag of ears in public for everyone to check, so as to prove that it was all fifty-four left ears.

"This reconnaissance has been very successful, and everyone will be rewarded when they go back, and they will definitely not treat you badly. You don't have to take these ears with you, and throw them into the ditch under the city. The search for the other brothers was intensified, the wounded were immediately bandaged in first aid, and the bodies of the war dead were to be found and brought back. Everyone hurry up, we have to evacuate before dawn. (To be continued.) )
