Chapter 520: Arson

Meng Hu immediately ordered the Jianghe Gang Agni Banner to withdraw first and the Qingshui Banner to withdraw first.

The two banners were immediately ordered out of the battle. Since they had been well protected, only seventy or eighty people were killed or wounded in this battle. After they withdrew more than a hundred meters, the Flame Banner began to spray fire oil on the ground. They poured all the oil they had with them on the ground. And Qingshui Banner found a favorable position and ambushed. It turned out that the two flags were not really withdrawn first, but to arrange another separation zone for the withdrawal of the army.

Subsequently, Meng Hu ordered the officers and soldiers to evacuate, because the cultivation of the officers and soldiers was low and they were slow to run!

After this order was issued, all the people of the martial arts alliance army rushed to the front line to take the position of the official army, continue to fight with the demon sect soldiers, and buy time for the retreat of the official army.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers all felt nostalgic, and they became more and more full of respect for the martial arts alliance - everyone's life, even if it was given by these good men!

At this time, there were only more than 1,000 of the 2,000 officers and troops left, and most of them withdrew with the help of the martial arts coalition army. After withdrawing, they saw that the two flags of the Jianghe Gang were waiting a hundred meters away, and thought that they would fight again, so they stopped.

An officer and army general shouted, "Brothers, can we run away like this, leaving the good men of the martial arts behind our palace?"

The officers and men of the officers and men all shouted in unison, "No!

Let's line up one by one, preparing to fight the Demon Cult again.

At this time, Lin Qian, the deputy commander of the Jianghe Gang Flame Banner, spoke, "What's all the fun, hurry up!"

The general said, "That's not possible, let's go back, what are you going to do?"

Lin Qian said hurriedly, "Let's just set a fire, and then we will withdraw! By the way, what about the fire oil that you will carry? How much is left, bring it all." ”

The general immediately said, "There are a lot left, and I don't dare to lose the brothers who carry the oil on their backs." ”

Then he yelled, "Brothers, those who helped Jianghe and his brothers bring fire oil, hurry up and take it down." ”

Originally, there were about 200 officers and soldiers who helped the Agni Flame Banner carry fire oil on their backs, but although the general said, "Watch it closely," seventy or eighty people had already been killed, and now there were about 120 people left.

However, the fire oil of these 120 people is also very considerable.

After seeing them unload the oil, Lin Qian said, "Okay, you guys should quickly retreat, it's too late!"

Only then did the general punch Lin Qian slap, "Then bother the brothers!"

Lin Qian hurriedly said, "It's easy to say." "I thought, don't talk nonsense, if you don't leave, will you save you when you go back?

The officers and soldiers hurriedly retreated.

Lin Qian also instructed the brothers to pour all the oil on it, forming a belt of oil more than 300 meters long and more than 10 meters wide.

Then, Lin Qian took more than two hundred brothers from the Fire Banner and rushed forward with the remaining thunderbolts on his back.

"Protector Meng, the dish is ready!" Lin Qian shouted at Meng Hu.

Meng Hu immediately shouted, "Brothers, it's time to fight the tooth!"

The military of the Wulin Alliance was trained first, and after hearing Meng Hu's secret signal to retreat, they all jumped back at the first time and evacuated their original positions.

The Demon Cult soldiers were all slightly stunned, but they reacted immediately, and were about to pursue, when they saw a pile of thunderbolts falling from the sky like raindrops.

The timing of the Fire Banner throwing thunderbolts was very delicate and mechanical, and they threw them into the area where the coalition forces were fighting with the Demon Sect before Meng Hu finished the order, and if the coalition people were slow to evacuate, they would only be killed and injured.

Although brutal, it is the only way to get the coalition out of the fight.

More than 200 thunderbolts exploded on a front of about 400 meters long, forming a separation zone. On the blast zone, nearly a hundred or so martial arts people were killed and injured before they had time to withdraw, but there were more Demon Sects, at least more than two hundred were killed and injured by the explosion.

However, the martial arts alliance and the Demon Sect finally broke away, and they immediately used light skills and ran back desperately.

After the Demon Sect reacted, it naturally refused to let the coalition forces run away, and immediately launched a pursuit.

The martial arts alliance has long given up resistance at this time, if anyone is caught up by the Demon Sect, no one will save him, there is only a dead end.

Fortunately, most of the coalition soldiers safely crossed the area where the Flame Banner had sprayed the oil, and the Flame Banner had all withdrawn to the oil area after throwing the thunderbolts.

There were more than a hundred soldiers of the Martial Arts Alliance who were entangled by the Demon Sect soldiers, and they didn't have time to run back. And among the Demon Sect soldiers, there are also one or two hundred good ones, who have already crossed the fire oil area.

Seeing this, Lin Qian had no choice but to order the fire with a blushing face!

A fire fell, and with a bang, a wall of fire more than 300 meters long and more than 10 meters wide ignited instantly.

The Flame Banner used up all the fire oil and built a wall of life for the officers and soldiers. The wall completely separated the hill in half, ensuring that the Cult would not be able to come until the fire had subsided.

More than 100 coalition soldiers, who had no time to cross the wall of fire, fell in despair.

Of course, none of the more than 100 Demon Sect soldiers who have crossed the wall of fire want to live!

Both sides were on both sides of the wall of fire, and both took out the enemy at breakneck speed.

Subsequently, the Martial Arts Coalition retreated quickly, while the Demon Sect chose to go around from both sides of the wall of fire.

In this blocking battle, the Demon Cult lost nearly 3,000 people, of which more than 1,300 died from thunderbolts, green water, fire oil and crossbow arrows, more than 900 died in landslides, and only more than 800 people died in real battles.

On the side of the Martial Arts Alliance, they lost more than 2,000 soldiers, most of whom were killed when they fought with the Demon Sect.

I have to say that if there is no Clear Water Banner and Fire Banner of the River Gang, the Martial Arts Alliance may not be able to hold back the Demon Sect, nor may it be able to come back safely.

Meng Hu withdrew with 27,800 troops to the gentle slope area, and when he saw that the two sides were fighting fiercely, he immediately joined the battle.

The battle on the gentle slope did not go as smoothly as expected, and both Cao Huachun and Li Daliang underestimated the field combat ability of the Demon Sect.

Especially the two thousand five-element flags on the left wing of the Demon Sect, the defense is impregnable, and the attack is as fierce as a beast, under the heavy encirclement of the Ming army, it is simply free to come and go, and there are still more than 1,300 people left, and the Ming army has lost more than 4,000 people in order to besiege them.

The only one who can fight against them is Wudang's Zhenwu Seven Interception Formation. However, there were only 360 people in the Zhenwu Seven Interception Formation, and after beating the Demon Sect Qingshui Banner on the right flank, there were only more than 300 left, and to deal with the Demon Sect of 2,000 people, it was obvious that they had more than enough heart but not enough strength.

Therefore, the Ming army could only surround them and grind them slowly. And the price of slow grinding is that for every Demon Sect Five Elements Banner person killed, the Ming army needs to pay the lives of 6-7 soldiers!

In addition to the Demon Sect's Five Elements Banner, the other Demon Sect soldiers are also gradually becoming more and more stable. They had now stabilized the front in the north and south, and the already collapsed situation in the east had also stabilized Chongzhen.

First of all, Jin Gang mobilized 2,000 men to replenish the eastern defensive line, and in front of these 2,000 people, the remaining sixty or seventy Flame Banner men of the Demon Sect rushed forward with ignited thunderbolts in both hands, and the officers and soldiers gave way, and they threw the thunderbolts into the crowd of officers and soldiers, and when the officers and soldiers did not give way, they rushed into the ranks of the officers and soldiers and died with the officers and soldiers! Under such a desperate impact, the officers and troops retreated one after another, and at the cost of only more than 50 people, they re-deployed their positions in the east, thus preventing the attempts of the officers and troops to break through from the east and encircle the demon cult soldiers on the north and south fronts.
