Last year in Xiliang, there were only about 200 wolves in the north of the desert, and after the New Year, the important figures were assassinated by Shen Luoyan, causing the wolves to stay away from Xiliang and wander in Ming. The surrounding borders reached 2,000 in less than a year.

Two hundred people are bandits and bandits, but the scale is more than a thousand. Whether in terms of management or financial resources, robbery alone cannot survive. This is no longer the strength of bandits, but is equivalent to an army of initial size.

The Ming Dynasty would not raise enemies for trouble. Thinking of the repeated conflicts around Ming Dynasty since the beginning of autumn, a thought went beyond my mind. This wolf thief army was most likely a mercenary funded by the Northern Zhou forces.

The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and the one that Yuan Jingang said on the top of the mountain did not detonate for some reason.

There were densely packed under the mountain, looking like an ant, but everyone knew in their hearts that it was a killing knife.

The boss has experienced such a scene. He took a breath and asked me, what should I do? I spread my hands and how did I know.

Although I and Liu Qingfeng have been fighting for a long time, they are just fighting in the world. After all, it is not a battle on the battlefield. If dozens of people are still able to lead people to break through, but if a battle of thousands of people is lined up for you to kill, it will probably take one or two days to kill.

When Xiao Ganliang was drinking with me, he discussed with me about the combat effectiveness of a martial arts master and the army. At that time, he asked a relatively stupid question, why did the imperial court not recruit martial arts masters to form an army?

Xiao Ganliang said that fighting for life on the battlefield is different from fighting in the martial arts world. First-class masters can fight a hundred people, but ten first-class masters may not be able to compete with more than a thousand people. If ten thousand people kill hundreds of martial arts world masters, they can kill them all at the cost of a few hundred people. The army pays attention to tactical cooperation, revitalization of command, and fighting courage and courage. Therefore, the masters recruited by the military can be used as scouts and spies. Once the battle is duel, the martial arts masters will not have much impact on the battle situation.

Everyone looked at Zhou Dingbei. He was the garrison of Xuanfu and the general of the Dingbei Army. He had rich experience on the battlefield. Only by relying on him can he overcome this dilemma.

I thought it was a bandit suppression, but I didn't expect that the Dingbei Army was ambushed and became a turtle in the jar. Zhou Guangding's face was gloomy.

The conflict with the Dingbei Army just now was no longer a problem when facing the wolf thieves at the foot of the mountain. I said General Zhou might have had some misunderstandings just now. Now that the enemy is in front of us, our Central Plains Escort Agency and Zhenyuan Escort Agency have few people, but they are all skilled in martial arts. If there is a place to use us, just give us instructions.

Zhou Guangding is also Lao Jiang, who has been through the battlefield for a long time. At this time, he didn't care about what he had just done and said in a deep voice that he was prepared to see the situation at the foot of the mountain.

Liu Qingfeng interrupted and said, "It's not just about being prepared, it's just a turtle in a jar." Zhou Guangding said unhappily, "How are you talking?" Liu Qingfeng was not convinced and said that I paid so much tax every year. As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days, you will rush down and fight. I said, "You will die if you say less."

There are only seven or eight hundred Ming troops on the top of the mountain, and this place is seven or eighty miles away from Xuanfu. If you force yourself to break through, you may be chased by wolf thieves before you can wait for Xuanfu. Fortunately, the Dingbei Army is usually strict in military discipline, and the chief general has not spoken, and the rest are standing in their arms with calm faces.

The mountain road is extremely narrow, only seven or eight people can stand side by side, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Zhou Guangding observed the terrain and issued several orders one after another, dividing hundreds of people into several teams, each with dozens of people, setting up defenses from the middle of the mountain, and one team per hundred meters to collect stones on the top of the mountain, rolling wood, and making good defense.

You are all from the world, and you have good archery skills. Please follow the Deputy General Sui to help guard the mountain. The others will check if there are any other roads nearby to prevent the thieves from attacking. Tonight, we marched urgently and only brought food for three days. Please help me see the food and grass down the mountain.

Although Zhou Guangding is not very good-looking, he is better than us in marching and fighting. Using the terrain and blocking tactics in segments is probably the best choice now.

The deputy generals and deputy generals obeyed the order and deployed them separately. Fortunately, the explosion just now and there was a lot of gravel in the mountains. Not long after, five or six lines of defense were prepared from the hillside to the top of the mountain.

A horn sounded, and the wolf thieves began to attack the mountain.

The imperial court had never succeeded in suppressing the wolf thieves in Mobei before, because the wolf thieves came without a trace, did not have a direct contact with the court, and acted extremely ruthlessly, and the general forces were helpless against them. Now, the wolf thieves gave up their best cavalry battles, learned to attack mountains, and abandoned their strengths and used their weaknesses. After contacting them in the first year of junior high school, they suffered a great loss.

After a rain of arrows, the wood rolled and the huge rock fell. Dozens of wolf thieves could not dodge and died on the spot. But the wolf thieves were ultimately a ruthless character who killed people. The silver masked wolf head, with a long arm waved, and three or four hundred people rushed up under the cover of archers.

The dozen leading people looked extraordinary in martial arts. They held a shield and resisted a wave of arrows, and then moved forward step by step.

Hundreds, fiftys, thirtys.

Whoosh swish swish swish.

Dozens of javelins were thrown out of the wolf thieves, carrying their might, and rushed towards the Ming army. More than a dozen Ming soldiers died on the spot.

Everyone was frightened when they watched the mountain top. There were no fancy moves or real energy. The living lives were like cutting leeks with knives. The severely injured and undead screamed in his ears, which was heartbreaking.

Without passionate mobilization, without righteous determination, the two sides fought each other like machinery, the sound of rocks rolling down, screams mixed with the sound of wind, floating in the mountains and fields.

More than twenty feet away, the gongs sounded on the mountain.

The first line of defense did not fight with the other party, but retreated one after another, leaving a few

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Ten corpses, the second line of defense, and the rain of arrows is covering the retreat of the people in front of you.

This is Zhou Guang's established tactic. Before he attacks the top of the mountain, he will not fight an encounter, but relies on bows and arrows, rolling woods, and huge rocks to deal with the wolf thieves.

The first line of defense was broken, and nearly a hundred wolves lost their lives. Three or four hundred wolves joined in and charged towards the top of the mountain.

The battlefield was like a meat grinder, harvesting the lives of both sides, but this was a battle, and there was nothing to do. The second line of defense did not last long, and then retreated to the third line of defense. The two lines of defense were broken, and although there was no contact, the wolf thieves had died and injured four or five hundred people, and the Ming army also injured nearly a hundred people.

If this continues, I am afraid that the five lines of defense will be broken before dawn.

The troops began to be dispatched at the foot of the mountain, and more and more wolf thieves were involved in the battle. Zhou Guangding ordered one after another to command everyone to meet the enemy. The wolf thieves were less than 300 meters away from the top of the mountain. After the Ming army used up their bows and arrows, the large number of huge rocks prepared were almost used. Zhou Guangding's forehead began to sweat.

Liu Qingfeng's blood was gushing and said that I would also help me, and I would get a standard long-horned bow and shoot it with an arrow.

Whoosh swish swish swish swish swish.

More than a dozen arrows shot out, and no one was weak, and more than a dozen wolf thieves died on the spot.

Zhou Guangding drew out his long sword and turned to everyone and said, "The generals obey the orders."

The last one will be there!

Who are we?

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!

What if an enemy invades our territory?

Everyone said in unison, fight to the death!

Fight to the death! Fight to the death! I was also infected by the atmosphere of the crowd and shouted.

At this moment, soldiers came to report that General Zhou found dozens of barrels of gunpowder on the top of the mountain! It was the gunpowder buried underground by Yuan Jingang, for some reason, that did not detonate.

Zhou Guangding was very happy, God helped me!

Putting gunpowder in the mountain road was about to roll down, I had a plan and said that this was too wasteful. Let us, the people in the martial arts world, come on!

After saying that, I raised a bucket of gunpowder to lure the true energy of the four lakes, poured it into the air with all my strength, shouting loudly, Liu Qingfeng!

Seeing this, Liu Qingfeng bent his bow and arrow, and a rocket shot out.

boom!

The gunpowder exploded in the air, and dozens of people suddenly became corpses. There was a sea of ​​fire among the wolf thieves, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt meat.

Seeing this, Chen Luoyan couldn't help but lean over and vomit.

Everyone was excited, and Li Xianzhong did the same thing and threw a bucket of gunpowder. The boss shouted, "I'll do it!" He took a bow and shot a horse arrow.

Everyone in the escort agency praised, "Good arrow technique!"

Uh... I didn't win!

The gunpowder barrel hit the mountain road, splashing a mist of dust.

The boss looked dark.

Gunpowder spilled all over the ground. When he encountered the rocket shot by the boss, a ball of flame suddenly rose into the air. Nearly a hundred wolf thieves stained with gunpowder caught fire and wailed everywhere.

The boss turned sadness into joy and clapped his hands, that's how I designed it!

The escort agency said that the master is mighty!

Even Zhou Guangding laughed silently. However, this method is much more effective than exploding in the air. After all, the explosion range is limited, but it is filled with fog. Although it cannot kill the wolf thief, it is enough to make the wolf thief lose its combat effectiveness.

Seven or eight barrels were thrown down, and fire spread on the mountain road. The wolf thief's route was blocked, and hundreds of people were killed and injured. Seeing that the silver masked wolf head could not be captured, he beat the gong to stop the troops.

An excited shout came from the top of the mountain, and the wolf thief retreated!

At the time of the Buddha's dawn, the wolf thief took his troops down the mountain after leaving hundreds of corpses, but he did not go far and set up camp at the foot of the mountain.

I thought to myself that this was the rhythm of siege. If the other party besieged us, and when we were out of ammunition and food, we went down the mountain to fight to the death, these hundreds of people were not enough for the other party to get stuck in the teeth.

Zhou Guangding organized people to treat the wounded and cook fires. Someone would come to report that there was not much food in the Red Castle and could only support it for three days.

This is not the worst news, and someone has reported that there is insufficient water supply on the mountain.

There is a well in Chi Castle. The amount of water is oozing out to a hundred people. However, seven or eight hundred people drink water becomes a big problem. If the wolf thief besieged Chi Castle, it is probably within three days that the people on the mountain will be defeated by shortage of water.

Even though I had not joined the battle, the thrilling feeling after one night was enough to make people feel awe of war.

Liu Qingfeng lay down on a protruding rock on the back mountain, took out a piece of meat pie, broke it off half of it and threw it to me, and said while eating, it was said that people's hearts were sinister and the world was unpredictable. Compared with this war, it was just a joke.

I deeply agree that in Xiliang and Shen Luoyan, we were chased by wolf thieves, but it was in the open yellow sand. Even if we were defeated, we could still escape with our martial arts. Now we are trapped on the mountain, with court troops and brothers from the escort agency. Even if we can use our martial arts to fight for a way out, what about the others?

Liu Qingfeng looked at the cliffs below the mountain and suddenly said, "I read the chivalrous novels that there are magical secrets at the foot of the mountain." Do you think we will die if we jump down?"

I said I don't know.

Chen Luoyan came over and said, "You can try it."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Let’s take a look! Maybe not only have secrets, but also beautiful women.

I said that you can’t have both secrets and bear paws. With the beautiful lady Shen, it’s better to have secrets or not.

Chen Luoyan said, "I will kill you with one sword if you talk nonsense."

Liu Qingfeng said on the side, "I saw that the little Pavilion Master Chen repeatedly said that he wanted to kill Sanguan, but he was reluctant to do it. In my opinion, do you like Sanguan in your heart, but you just refuse to admit it. However, Sanguan already has the beauty Ji, and Princess Taiping who likes him in your heart. Although the little Pavilion Master is beautiful, he has too much temper. I am afraid that it is not the type that Sanguan likes.

I said you wouldn't die if you say less, so you have to find trouble at this time.

Are you impatient to live? The falling geese are showing their fierce eyes and are forcing Liu Qingfeng to surrender. Liu Qingfeng raises his hands and surrenders. His three views like little peppers like you.

With a sword, Liu Qingfeng turned over and almost fell off the cliff. Sanguan saved me, your little lover was going to kill me!

I said you deserve it.

Liu Qingfeng scolded you, a guy who has women who disregards brotherhood and has agreed to be a knife for your brothers. I think one day, you will be a knife for your woman.

The Shen Luoyan's eyes were covered with frost, so where could they escape! With a sword, Liu Qingfeng shouted, "It's not pierced." The Shen Luoyan was furious and turned around and stabbed me. I dodged, but I didn't offend you, why did you hit me?

Chen Luoyan's moves failed to work. She threw Ziwei Sword in anger, snatched my meat pie and started to bite it. I thought to myself that I hadn't eaten for a day, okay, staring at the meat pie and drooling.
To be continued...
