When Gongsun Lan told Li Jing that Feng Zhang had united the whole army of Duli Town to attack, Li Jing felt that the situation was serious. Although the town of Shamen has been expanded several times, it is only 8,000 people. For the town of Shamen, which now has only a few hundred thousand people, the ratio of militias to twenty to one has almost been reached, which is already the limit.

However, the opponent came with nearly 30,000 people, and the ratio of troops between the two sides reached nearly four to one. Although he won two victories, he was not carried away by the victory. If Shamen Town is completed, Li Jing can still be trapped in the city. But now the castle is only halfway built, and with such a castle it is impossible to hold on to the enemy.

If you can't fight head-on, and you can't hold on, you can only outwit.

Rao is like this, Li Jing still made a full mobilization. The seven battalions of Black Bear, Blue Wolf, Iron Spear, Iron Wall, Zhenhai, Nu Tao, and Flying Eagle in Shamen Town were all mobilized, and the logistics battalion, prisoner of war camp, and even the labor battalion were also mobilized. Although most of the prisoner of war camps and labor camps were prisoners of war from Duli Town and Beisha City, as well as prisoners of war from Da Xie Yan, at this time, Li Jing could only mobilize them. All the prisoners of war were given weapons and scattered with the children of the improvised militia battalions.

This was a national mobilization, and more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians in Shamen Town were armed to meet the battle.

The fireworks in Beishan were blazing, but in fact, this was not Li Jing asking for help from Dengzhou. Li Jing didn't expect Dengzhou to rescue at all, although Li Jing understood that if his beacon fire was ignited, Dengzhou would definitely come to the rescue. But in fact, Li Jing didn't want them to come, and the rescue in Dengzhou was a double-edged sword. Their arrival is not necessarily a good thing, and the battle has to be fought on their own.

"The North Mountain Beacon is on fire!"

Almost as soon as the beacon fire ignited, several soldiers who had been observing immediately told several officers the news.

Yakiniku Island. It has now been occupied by the Great Xie Army. The fortress and the arrow tower were occupied by the Great Xie soldiers. In particular, the three fortresses were set up on them to throw cannons from the chariots of the Great Xie Bing. After a long period of bombardment, Feng Zhang led most of the troops to finally rush to the Beishan Wharf, and now the three thousand soldiers and horses left behind on the Baked Cake Island seem a little leisurely, the fortress, the arrow tower, and the camp fence on the island, these big Xie soldiers are chatting loudly.

The envoys have invaded Salmon Island. This time they finally got revenge, they didn't have much hatred for Li Jing, but they also had a rich reward for their victory.

These people chatted and scolded very relaxedly, and there was not much vigilance at all, there were many of their warships in the sea off the island, and they would not think that anything else would happen.

"Fifth Captain, this group of guys above is defenseless at all, and the method that Yanai came up with is really amazing. The smoke has risen, let's fight it. Let's take back Yaki Island. An iron-clad officer in Salmon said loudly.

The first and fifth generals of the Flying Eagle Battalion laughed twice, raised their heads left and right, and explored the place where they were staying now. In a criss-cross of underground passages, the passages were dug wide and deep, eight feet high and one zhang wide. Moreover, there are wooden beams and planks to reinforce the passage, and on the left and right sides of the passage, a hall with an area of about three zhang square is dug at intervals of ten or twenty steps.

This is a huge underground labyrinth, and many materials, food, weapons, etc. on the Baked Cake Island are stored in the underground halls. And now, it's not just an underground storehouse, it's an underground storehouse. In order to lure Feng Zhang to take the bait again, Li Jing did not plan to face the dock head-on this time, but retreated first and then ambushed.

The first capital of the Flying Eagle Battalion, which was stationed on Baked Cake Island, immediately retreated into the underground passage after shooting almost 30,000 arrows at the beginning, waiting for the signal to counterattack.

The fifth shu couldn't help grinning when he looked at the two hundred subordinates of the first capital in the passage, as well as nearly two thousand people from the logistics battalion and the Minzhuang battalion who were temporarily dispatched. The Dog Thief made you laugh at first, and now it's our turn.

"According to the plan, a team of five people will each bring a hundred people, and you will enter the three fortresses and nine arrow towers from the passage, and take back the fortresses and arrow towers. The rest of the second team will follow me, and we will go and take their carts and artillery positions. Remember, move fast! ”

"Understood!"

The plan has already been explained repeatedly, and now that it is time to begin, it is just a repetition. According to the plan, more than 2,000 people were divided into two parts and moved quickly along the passage.

Li Asan was a prisoner of war, a prisoner of war in Qingnipu, to be exact. He was originally a Tang man in Liaodong and was a hunter. Later, he was moved by the rich food and salary of Duli Town, and joined Duli Town as a soldier. The soldiers of Duli Town were indeed well paid, and he had been a soldier in the out-of-town fort of Duli Town for five years, and by the time he was twenty-three years old, he had already saved a lot of money. With this money, he married Sanniang from the neighbor's father-in-law Liu's family as his wife, bought two Silla slaves, and shared a prisoner of war slave. After five years of military service, he was even promoted to a gang commander because of his bravery. Maybe after three or five years, he will be promoted to the rank of deputy team leader, and then he will be able to buy a house in the town of Duri and move his family into the city.

It's just that although this wish is good, but in a surprise attack by the Qingnipu Crane Cavalry, the fortress where he is located was breached, and although he fought desperately, he still became a prisoner in the end. He was imprisoned in Qingnipu for nearly half a year, working day and night in the mine, and almost died of exhaustion on the mine. Then he was inexplicably sent to Salmon Town, where he became a slave in the Salmon Town Labor Camp.

Just when he felt that life was hopeless and bleak. He saw Li Jing with his own eyes, and heard the general of Shamen Town say that as long as they could serve for five years, they would be free. This gave him a glimmer of light, but just yesterday, Li Jing summoned them again and gave them weapons, telling them that if they could cut off five enemy heads in this battle, they would be free immediately. If you cut off more heads, you can also exchange each for ten dollars.

This notice made his heart immediately hot, Li Asan is not afraid of war, he was a very talented hunter before joining the army, and the hunting bow in his hand can shoot down the flying eagles in the world. After enlisting in the army, no less than ten opponents died at his hands. Five heads were exchanged for freedom, and he was delighted.

After agreeing to go to war. He was given a spear. However, he told the man who issued the weapon that he was good at archery. When asking for a bow. The other man just took a bow and let him shoot three arrows. Sixty steps away, all three arrows hit the bull's-eye. He was given a longbow and a pot of thirty arrows, and the barnsman gave him an iron helmet. "Take it, kill a few more enemies on the battlefield, no matter what your status was before, you have to be free. Kill a few more and you'll get a bounty. A first level of ten. ”

Sitting in the tunnel, holding a bow and arrow that had been familiar and somewhat unfamiliar for more than half a year, Li Asan's hands trembled a little. He heard from the gang leader of the Shamen Town next to him that the people above were the people of Da Xie Yan, and they united with the people of Duli Town to attack tonight. When he heard the three words of Duli Town, he was a little surprised at first, but then he stopped thinking about it. The town of Duli has long been a thing of the past. Although he used to be a soldier in the town of Duli, but so what.

"Quick, quick. Fast! Along this passage, there is one of the bastions. Everyone rushed forward. Don't care about anything, grab the fortress first, and then talk about it, if you dare to resist, you will be killed. Once you have captured the fortress, immediately climb to the fortress and shoot with your cart thrower and your crossbow. The bearded man shouted loudly at the fork in the passage to the hundred-odd men.

After speaking, the gang leader took the lead, holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other. At the end of the fork is a staircase, which looks like about twenty or thirty steps. The captain led the men to the end of the stairs, listened for a moment under the closed barrier, and then beckoned to them. Suddenly, several of the tallest soldiers worked hard together, violently pushed the baffle open, the block opened, and suddenly an exit appeared in front of everyone.

"Kill!" The captain shouted in a low voice, jumped up with a knife, and Li Asan also followed behind with a bow in his hand. When he rushed up, he had already reached the first floor of the five-story fortress. It was a very large fort hall, with a circumference of fifty paces. As far as the eye could see, I saw that there were only four or five big Xie soldiers in the hall on the first floor chatting in front of the door on the first floor, and two of them were sleeping.

Li Asan and the others suddenly poured out of the ground, which made those few people shocked. One was about to shout, but the bearded man threw a dagger into the man's mouth. Several of the soldiers also threw daggers and archery. Li Asan reacted quickly, and the bow that he had already mounted immediately fired, and with one arrow, he sent a big Xie soldier to the center of the eyebrows.

Before the soldiers could scream, they were immediately killed by various blows. The bearded man stepped forward to check it, and said to Li Asan with great satisfaction, "The one you shot to death just now was a captain, and he performed well, this one captain is counted as two ordinary soldiers' heads, and if you kill three more, you will be free." ”

Li Asan grinned, and his heart was excited.

The bearded man said in a low voice: "The first team will bring thirty people to stay and guard the door, and the rest will continue with me!" Move fast, be fast! Before they can react, kill the fuck. ”

"Fuck it." Li Asan had a light in his eyes, responded in a low voice, held the bow in his hand, followed closely behind the bearded man, and quickly rushed towards the second floor. There were more people on the second level, more than a dozen, and they were killed by their lightning speed. Li Asan killed another one, this time it was still a captain, and he had already seen that the commanders were wearing iron armor, and even the iron helmets were more delicate.

The third layer, the fourth layer, it took almost no effort, and they had already reached the fifth layer in one go. There were about a hundred or so people on the fifth floor, either sitting or standing behind the huge cannons and carts.

The two armies met, this time it was a bloody battle, the bearded man led the people to rush in front with a shield, shouting loudly for Li Asan and the others to release arrows. The two sides fought a bloody battle, but fortunately, there were only some soldiers on the top of the fort who operated the ballista to throw cannons, and the martial arts were not the most exquisite, and the fight was not brave enough. After being wiped out by Li Asan and them, after seeing that no one came to help, they immediately shouted and surrendered.

Looking at the prisoners who knelt on the ground and the corpses that fell to the ground and bled profusely, Li Asan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and with excitement on his face, he walked to the bearded man who was bandaging the wound on his arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Two captains, six ordinary soldiers, and one captain." ”

The bearded man glanced at Li Asan appreciatively, "Captain Wu counts two for one, and one for the gang leader counts three, so good, you got thirteen first-level military merits at once." After this battle, you will be free, and you will receive a bounty of eighty yuan. Take the money, wherever you go. ”

"I want to go back to Liaodong." Li Asandao.

"Whatever you want, it's your freedom. Dengzhou Port has a boat to Liaodong every day, and you can go at any time. ”

Li Asan hesitated for a moment and said, "If I pick up my wife and children and come back, do you still want me to be a soldier?" I want to join you. ”

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said: "Of course, boy, don't say much, there are still a lot of heads that can be exchanged for money running below, if you want to make money, come with me!" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
