A large number of soldiers of the Pei family army walked into Li Shichun's siege step by step, but suddenly, a big tree broke at the waist, and the huge crown hit the official road, blocking the originally not very wide official road tightly.

While advancing, the Pei family army saw this situation and quickly stopped. Just when the Pei family army was surprised, they heard the sound of trees and huge rocks rolling down on the mountains on both sides. When they heard the sound, the soldiers of the Pei family army looked up and looked at it. They were shocked and saw a large number of carriages carrying the wooden stones rushing towards the Pei family army in the canyon with inappropriate momentum. In the blink of an eye, they flew to the Pei family soldiers.

In an instant, countless soldiers flew out with blood spitting out their mouths, and some were hit on the head, and they went directly to Huangquan without even humming. Some were lucky, such as huge rocks, rolling wood, etc., and hit the robes beside them. These were pretty good, and the most unlucky ones were those who were broken, covered in blood, curled up on the ground, rolling all over the ground, screaming in pain.

"Form a formation, form a formation." Hu Zhonglong, the leader of the Pei family army, had a blank mind, but good training still allowed him to make the most correct choice instinctively.

The soldiers of the Pei family army suffered a change and their morale was restless. However, when they heard Hu Zhonglong's order, they still surrounded Hu Zhonglong with swords and shields outside, spears second, and archers inside, forming a circular formation.

Seeing that the military formation had been formed, the surrounding hillside suddenly killed the sky. Countless figures slid down from the gentle slope of the hillside and rushed towards the Pei family soldiers who were forming the formation, fighting with the Pei family soldiers who were forming the formation.

Now, Hu Zhonglong finally reacted and shouted: "Come here, come and report to General Luo to our army and ask General Luo to send troops to send reinforcements immediately."

The General Luo who Hu Zhonglong mentioned was his immediate superior, Luo Shijin, one of the three generals of the brave army. Li Yinbin, who had just won the Pingli and made great contributions, was also Luo Shijin's subordinates. This attack, Li Yinbin had already made a contribution, and Li Yinbin could not have all the good things. Therefore, in the next attack, Hu Zhonglong asked Luo Shijin for battle. Luo Shijin then sent Hu Zhonglong as the vanguard to attack first, but who expected that he would suffer such a great disaster.

Li Shichun's deployment was very distinctive. He divided the entire army into two main attack directions. The first one to cut down trees was one direction, and the other was in the middle of Hu Zhonglong's army. The main advantage of such deployment was to cut off Hu Zhonglong's army in half, so that its head and tail could not echo each other, and then he could concentrate his main forces to encircle and annihilate the Hu Zhonglong's army that was in the forefront.

Li Shichun is not greedy. As long as he can eat up all the troops in the encirclement, it will be a great victory that will set the outcome. It can be said that Hu Zhonglong's army will be directly defeated. Such a record can be said even if he comes to Tian Qifeng.

"Hold on, hold on to me." Hu Zhonglong shouted angrily, but his roar did not work at all. The time for the establishment of the Pei family army was still too short, and half of the new recruits were recruited among the new recruits who had just been recruited for less than three months. The brave army was still better, and the proportion of new recruits had exceeded more than half, and the proportion of new recruits in Li Guojun's Xuanwu army exceeded 80%.

With so many new recruits in the Pei family army and in the environment surrounded by wolves, Pei Xiaoer could only increase the training of the formation army in order to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the army, using the formation as the combat unit to fight corps with the enemy. However, time is limited after all, and the formation army is trained more, so there is naturally no time to train the individual's ability to fight.

Therefore, if the veterans mixed in the army serve as backbone, relying on the strict formation and the exquisite weapons and armor on them, the Pei family army will have a draw with ordinary officers and soldiers. When encountering the main forces of officers and soldiers, such as Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army, Hong Chengchou's Hong Bing, and even Guanning Army, they will only run away from afar. As for the situation of melee and large troops fighting together, the Pei family army's combat effectiveness may not be as good as a group of elderly bandits.

Now this army with most new recruits has just been ambushed, and the army that wants to form their most combat-capable military formation was interrupted, so they can only fight with the enemy who are coming. In the case of melee, the veterans in the army can only care about themselves and at most take care of a few people around them. As for other new recruits, they can only rely on their talents to fight, but the balance of the battle began to gradually tilt towards the side that was unfavorable with the Pei family army.

Luo Shijin came very quickly. In fact, Hu Zhonglong was not far from Pingli City, and it was only twenty miles away. After hearing the report, Luo Shijin did not dare to hesitate. After sending someone to ask Pei Zhuer for instructions, he hurriedly led the seven thousand people under his command to run towards Hu Zhonglong.

Although Luo Shijin came quickly, two hours passed. At this time, Hu Zhonglong had only less than 2,000 soldiers left. On the battlefield, there were corpses piled up together. In addition, a large number of new recruits had a broken mentality and escaped as deserters at the last minute and crawled into the mountains and forests near the mountains and disappeared.

Hu Zhonglong was covered in blood, holding the long sword in both hands, and rushing among the enemy's clusters. A long hole was cut on his face at some point. His chest, back, and even his thighs had been cut by the enemy. A gurgling of blood was soaking his clothes along the wound. Despite this, Hu Zhonglong still fought to the death.

It was Hu Zhonglong's will to sacrifice himself to fight greatly boosted the morale of the remaining soldiers and allowed them to stay and continue to fight against the enemy, otherwise the new recruits would have disbanded long ago.

Li Shichun did not participate in the war. At this time, he stood on one side of the hillside and looked at the battlefield calmly. In fact, doing so was what a qualified commander had to do. The Pei family army also had similar regulations. Senior commanders of an army must ensure their safety with limited means. In the case of safety, commanding the army to fight was what they had to do.

Therefore, Hu Zhonglong's approach strictly violated the military rules of the Pei family army, but Hu Zhonglong had no choice. If he didn't do this, he would not inspire people and could not boost morale. Then it would be a matter of time before he could disintegrate.

"General, the enemy's reinforcements have arrived five miles away accordingly." A figure came to Li Shichun and reported.

"It's so fast." Li Shichun was a little shocked. He saw the battlefield still fighting in the canyon. Seeing that the opponent was retreating step by step, the enemy was invincible, which led to their inability to achieve overwhelming victory. He still underestimated this army and must report the combat effectiveness of the Pei family army to the eldest son as soon as possible so that the eldest son can prepare in advance. Thinking of this, Li Shichun stopped hesitating and ordered,

"After passing our military order, the king will be ordered to withdraw quickly, and no mistakes must be made." After saying that, he finally took a deep look at the battlefield and left first with regret.

By the time Luo Shijin arrived, Li Shichun had already retreated all his troops, leaving behind corpses all over the ground and wounded soldiers screaming in pain.

"General." Hu Zhonglong saw the reinforcements coming from afar, and the leader was his boss, General Luo Shijin, and his heart relaxed. The aura that had been supporting him to fight bravely dissipated. The long sword with blood in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. He shook his whole body and fell straight down.

"Hu Zhonglong." Luo Shijin was shocked when he saw Hu Zhonglong fall, and thought that something had happened to him. He quickly ran to his side, reached out to pick him up, and slowly put his fingers under his nose. Fortunately, Luo Shijin felt relieved and shouted to the personal soldiers beside him: "Hurry up, go and call the military doctor."

"General." But Hu Zhonglong opened his eyes with difficulty, "The last general is incompetent and implicated the army. I beg the general to punish him."

"I'll talk about it later." Luo Shijin raised his face. The loss of so many troops made him feel bad. It only wants to know one thing now: "Who ambushed you?"

"It's Tian Qifeng's tribe of Ziyang."

"Tian Qifeng?" Luo Shijin was stunned, "Tian Shizhen's son? Didn't Tian Shizhen decide to surrender to our army? How could his son suddenly attack our army?"
