"Are the knives sharpened quickly?"

"Are your spears still sharp?"

"Are your bowstrings ready?"

Red Valley, a small valley with steep mountain walls on three sides, only one side of the valley can be accessed. At this time, there were more than 1,000 remnants of soldiers in the small valley who refused to defend it, and outside the valley were 5,000 soldiers and horses.

Defeated into the valley were the soldiers and horses of Qingnicheng who fled all the way back from Duli Town, mainly the crane cavalry, plus hundreds of soldiers from the Nutao Battalion in Shamen Town. In addition to the hundreds of soldiers and horses of the Nutao Battalion in Shamen Town, the other allies in this battle either secretly betrayed and defected, or directly surrendered to Duli Town after the battle was unfavorable.

Although it was in a desperate situation, but fortunately, this valley was very small, so Li Shouyi and others defended the valley mouth, cutting down trees to block the valley mouth, although the Beisha soldiers outside attacked several times, but they did not attack it. Defeated nine attacks by the Beisha soldiers in succession, and the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, which were already very difficult, added many casualties. Seeing that it was about to dawn, the brothers who were desperately trying to break through to deliver the letter had not yet brought back reinforcements, and Li Shouyi almost understood that there would be no reinforcements.

The Beisha soldiers, who had already retreated, suddenly ambushed here, which had already shown that Beisha City would definitely not let go of the empty Qingni City.

Li Shouyi seems to have matured ten years old all of a sudden, and the time of one day and one night seems to be ten years long. Qingnipu was defeated, his father was killed in battle, and now they are also trapped here, without food and water. It can only last for two or three days at most. There was no rest for a whole day and a night. Kill from the town of Duli to the Red Valley. It's been a war. His face was extremely tired, his eyes were deep-set, and his face was pale. But even at this time, he still refused to give up, even if he died in battle, he had to pull a few more pads.

His fine horse had been handed over to the messenger to ride out of the siege, and now he walked in front of the brethren of the Eight Hundred Crane Cavalry, who had rested for a while. Qingnipu's army and coalition forces were almost dead, and the most elite 3,000 crane cavalry was also seriously operated. But the last one still showed their fierceness, and until now, there are still 800 people and horses here, basically these 800 cavalry are all the Qingni City soldiers who broke through.

glanced at this elite army of soldiers and horses, although they were in a difficult situation, no one panicked and feared, and everyone was more excited. This is the Crane Cavalry, a strong soldier created by my father.

"Our knives are fast enough to cut down a hundred Bassy City dog thieves who are robbing while the fire is on fire, our spears can heartily pierce the butts of a hundred shameless Bugles, and our bows and arrows are enough to hit the eyes of a hundred Bugles." The crane cavalry roared in unison. The fighting spirit is high, and they are desperately trying to break through along the way. finally rushed out of Duli Town with more than 3,000 people. After leaving the city, they were behind the apse, but unfortunately they were about to return to Qingnipu at that time, everyone couldn't help but relax their vigilance, and as a result, the people in front suddenly broke directly into the ambush circle of the Beisha army.

"Major General, we are all ready, fight with the Pysa Dogs!"

"Young master, it's just a few thousand Beisha dogs, in the past, when they encountered us, these Beisha dogs couldn't hide, and every brother of the crane control army could beat ten of them one by one. Even if we are in trouble now, we are still in danger, how can we let these wild dogs fall into the well and pick up the cheap. ”

"The young general ordered, even if we die, we have to pull these dogs on our backs!"

Li Juyi looked at the soldiers of the Crane Control Army with satisfaction and was not hit by the defeat at all, and he was very happy to feel this fighting spirit. waved his hand and said loudly: "Okay, let's beat this group of wild dogs, my brothers in Qingni City, even if they die, they will die on the way forward!" ”

In the wind of the night, the ghostly roar of the Humble Sand soldiers could be faintly heard, and this was their tenth attack.

Li Juyi rode on the horse of a crane control cavalry that had lost its owner, and the remaining eight hundred crane control troops slowly advanced towards the valley mouth. At this time, it was the turn of the remaining five hundred soldiers and horses of the Nutao Battalion in Shamen Town to be on duty, and the four masters of the town Donghai were seriously injured at this time, and Whitebeard had an arrow in the left eye of Duli Town, and he directly pulled out the arrow with his eyeball, and now his left eye was bandaged, but he still refused to retreat, holding the large horizontal knife, and he wanted to kill a few more.

Yellowbeard was stabbed in his left hand, and his entire elbow was gone, and he became a one-armed swordsman. Redbeard is not much better, he was hit by eight arrows on his body, but he didn't die, the leather armor outside was all penetrated, and the inner armor that Li Jing gave him was reliable, although the eight arrows were all into the flesh, the injury was not light, but at least he saved one life, he was lying at the mouth of the valley, still holding a single bow and crossbow in his hand, and there were two on the ground, saying that if Gu Po would kill two more backs, and then the last crossbow arrow would be kept for himself, and he would not be a prisoner if he died.

Blackbeard's situation was not good, covering Whitebeard when he broke through, he was stabbed in the lower abdomen, and his intestines flowed out at that time, but he was stunned to cut off the head of the Duli town soldier who stabbed him and then stuffed the intestines back with his hands. Now with a thick circle of gauze around his waist, fortunately, the soldiers of the Nutao Battalion are also equipped with battlefield first-aid kits, washed the wound with alcohol, stopped the bleeding with hemostatic medicine, and then stitched the wound with needles and threads. Although he was lying next to Redbeard now, he couldn't do anything, but at least his life was still there.

The other 2,000 old pirate brothers who followed into the town of Duli suffered heavy casualties, and now only 500 people remained. Originally, more than 800 people broke out, but they were ambushed by Beisha City, and only 500 were left, and all of them were wounded.

The one-eyed whitebeard was giving a lecture to his brothers, and in his words, even if he died here, it would not be a big deal, and his head had lost a big scar on his wrist, and he would be a good man again eighteen years later. Anyway, they had already been mentally prepared to be pirates in the first place, and now they are officers and soldiers even if they die. Their wives and children, parents, and Li Jing help them raise and support, there is nothing to worry about.

As Whitebeard was talking, he was surprised when he suddenly saw the Li Juyi brothers, who were resting, coming on horseback with the Crane Control Army.

"What are you going to do here, nephew?"

"Bai Shibo, Qingnipu may have fallen into the hands of thieves. We won't have reinforcements. The Pess besieged us. The assault continues. I estimate that at most at dawn, there will be pursuers in Duli Town, and it will be difficult to escape death at that time. In this case, even if it is death, we are not willing to shrink here, even if we die, the people of my Qingni City will die on the way forward. Bai Shibo, open the valley. I will first lead my brothers to fight the Pess to the death, and if we are lucky enough to win, then we will go together. If I am unfortunately defeated, Bai Shibo can also take the opportunity to lead his troops to withdraw. Li Juyi said lightly, as if he was not going to die, but just attending a night banquet.

Whitebeard grinned: "Good boy, have a temper with your father, Lao Tzu likes you like this." That's right, anyway, it is estimated that there will be no reinforcements for a while, so it is better to go out and kill it. ”

A shout rang out from outside the valley. This is a tradition among horse thieves, and the ghost screaming before the attack is actually a morale boost. The commander of this Beisha army will be Zhang Dewu, the younger brother of Beisha Chengcheng Advocate Dewei. He personally led 5,000 soldiers and horses to ambush, all 5,000 infantry, but although the number was 5,000, in fact, the real elite was only 2,000, and the remaining 3,000 belonged to the children of the soldiers of Beisha City. In this war, a large number of children came with the army, not only to strengthen the army, but also to participate in the plunder. If these sons participate in the battle, they will receive half of the reward, and half of the proceeds of their capture and plunder will be handed over to the city lord's mansion, and the rest will be theirs. Although there were a lot of people who handed in, they were all robbed anyway, so there were still a lot of people who came.

Yesterday, an ambush successfully killed more than 1,000 heads of Qingni City, which made Zhang Dewu very excited, thinking that he could annihilate the remaining more than 1,000 people in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, after these green mud soldiers retreated into the small valley, the resistance was extremely fierce, he had attacked nine times in a row, but every time he didn't even rush into the mouth of the valley, he fought back and forth, but he himself lost four or five hundred men and horses, this anger can be imagined.

After an hour of adjustment, he readjusted his position, and this time he had given a death order that he must take. Everyone is only allowed to enter, not to retreat, and those who violate the order are directly beheaded for public display. He had already thought that even if he had to take his life, he had to take him down.

"Warriors, get ready to strike!" Zhang De's blood in battle boiled rapidly, "Wash your war knives with the blood of the green mud dogs!" ”

Qingnipu and Duli Town are feuding, and the relationship between Beisha City and Qingni City is not much better. Qingnicheng and Beisha City are both started by horse thieves, Qingnipu also has a port, Beisha City is purely a mountain city, and the strongest forces of the two are cavalry, close to each other, so the friction is also constant. However, for a long time, Beisha City has never won Qingni City, because Qingni City has a prestigious crane control army, the last time Beisha City sneak attacked Qingni City, 3,000 cavalry were directly ambushed, 3,000 against 3,000, cavalry against cavalry, as a result, the cavalry of Beisha City collapsed, and less than 1,000 people escaped. And the Crane Control Army won a big victory, and the damage was extremely slight.

Duli Town has been suppressing Qingni City, and Qingni City often sneaks up on Duli Town and robs them. And Qingni City pressed Beisha City, but they couldn't raise their heads at all, and they were a little frightened when they heard their names. This time, it was hard to turn over, and Zhang Dewei couldn't wait to kill everyone in Qingni City.

In response to him was the wild shouts of thousands of soldiers and disciples of Beisha City, and the few remnants of the valley had resisted their nine attacks, believing that they had reached their limit, and this time, they were bound to break through the valley and kill the enemy.

Zhang Dewu took out his golden scimitar, pointed in the direction of the valley, and said loudly: "Blow the horn!" ”

The dull horn of Beisha City sounded, and thousands of men and horses divided into several echelons and began to slowly press towards the mouth of the valley.

In the pre-dawn glimmer of the morning, at the corner of the valley behind the Beisha Army, suddenly a flag rose high and fluttered in the wind, embroidered with a huge whale, followed by another flag, embroidered with a fierce shark. Then two more flags appeared, one with Zhenhai and the other with Angry Waves.

Then more and more figures appeared, iron armor, spears like forests, horizontal knives out of the sheath like snow, between countless red flag guns, triangular red flags fluttering under the head of the spear.

More and more soldiers and horses appeared, entered the rear of the Beisha Army, and began to adjust the array on the spot without hurry.

The whale flag is on the left and the shark flag is on the right. Zhenhai camp on the left, and Nutao camp on the right. The two sailor battalions were on the battlefield on land, and the array was simple, with a row of shield walls in front, then a row of pikemen, then a row of knife men on either side, and then all crossbowmen.

This army did not hide their arrival at all, it appeared so suddenly, and then slowly pressed forward.

Zhang Dewu looked at the army that suddenly appeared in surprise, and the pro-soldier team beside him whispered: "Zhenhai, Nutao, Shark Flag and Whale Flag, this seems to be Li Jing's Zhenhai and Nutao two sailor fleets in Shamen Town, Dengzhou, not good, Li Jing sent troops to help." ”

Zhang Dewu's face changed slightly, he hesitated for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and said: "But with only 2,000 people, what are you afraid of." Since they have come in haste to die, then I will fulfill him, and give the order, that the attack on the valley should be stopped. The front formation changed to the rear formation, and the back formation became the front formation, we first destroyed the stinky fish and rotten shrimp, and then turned back to clean up the remnants of the defeated soldiers and lost dogs in the valley. ”

In the morning light, the Beisha soldiers changed formations in front of the enemy, and suddenly the front formation became the rear formation, and the rear formation became the front formation. The formation of thousands of people was chaotic for a while. While changing formations, the Beisha Army had already rushed towards the Shamen Army.

Angry waves and Zhenhai are both very calm and not panicked.

Megan looked at the enemy army with a cold face and did not pursue recklessly, the enemy army was more than twice as large as them, and this ambush had to fight slowly. However, seeing that the valley was not breached, her hanging heart finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Order, hold down the position, hold steady, bow and crossbow ready to meet the enemy." After speaking, he turned his head softly and said to Julie: "Sister, you quickly take a small group of brothers to take the opportunity to enter the valley in person and tell them that reinforcements have arrived. If there are still brothers in the valley who can fight, let them prepare and attack from behind the enemy at the right time. Also, let's see how my father and uncle are doing. ”

Julie nodded, "Don't worry, my father and uncle have come over with many winds and waves, what is this little wind and wave now, how can there be anything, don't worry about it." I took a few brothers with me and saw the right time. ”

The Beisha army rushed over, as if trying to swallow the two thousand reinforcements in one gulp.

The Shamen Town Army did not panic and prepared for the battle step by step. When the Beisha army entered the firing range, the archers fired their arrows together, and the dozen or so Beisha soldiers who rushed to the front were instantly hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
