The two sides fought in a melee, and the disciples of each sect, led by many masters, fought bravely.
Everyone was filled with anger, thinking that these officers and soldiers were ambushing around, trying to catch all the factions in one fell swoop. They were simply ruthless.
They also understood that since they were at this point, they had no choice but to fight to the death. If they were too soft-hearted, they would be in big trouble when the Forbidden Army slowed down.
In fact, when the leaders of various factions learned from Qin Xiao that there were officers and soldiers preparing to ambush, many people were still skeptical. Some even thought that Qin Xiao was using this to plan something.
But tonight the officers and soldiers actually showed up, and everyone immediately understood that Qin Xiao had indeed saved everyone's life. If Qin Xiao had not understood the officers and soldiers' plans in advance and made the response arrangements in an orderly manner, if he had been suddenly killed by the officers and soldiers,
, the consequences are really unimaginable.
These days, various factions have been fighting, and there have been a lot of casualties. Everyone is feeling depressed. Now they are fighting against the Forbidden Army, but they are venting all their anger on these Forbidden Army.
The mountain was filled with flames and screams, but at the foot of the mountain there was also a fight.
In addition to the head disciples of various sects, dozens of Tianzhai disciples also fought hard under the leadership of Shang Fu.
Compared with other sects, the disciples of Tianzhai understand in their hearts that these officers and soldiers are coming here to uproot Dongji Tianzhai.
When Tianzhai's life was at stake, Qin Xiao tried his best to turn the tide, not only saving Tianzhai from the swords of various sects, but even turning the tide, allowing the various sects to unite with Tianzhai to jointly resist powerful enemies, so Tianzhai's disciples were even more desperate.
The leader of the Seven Kills, Tang Jingyi, has excellent swordsmanship, and his sword is sharp. His internal strength is not weak, and his sword is an even sharper sword. Although the armor of the Forbidden Army is tight, there are still seams between the armors. Ordinary disciples can only
He could compete with the armored men, but a master of swordsmanship like Tang Jingyi was able to insert his sword between the gap and stab the armored men's vital points.
However, even if most disciples of various sects cut their weapons on the armor, although the force can bring some pain to the opponent, they cannot quickly fatally kill the armored soldiers. On the contrary, many disciples cannot hurt the armored soldiers, but are injured by the armored soldiers.
.
Han Feng and more than a hundred people did not directly go forward to join the battle, but formed two teams with arrows and crossbows. Although they did not dare to shoot the crossbows at will, as long as they found an opportunity, they still decisively fired the crossbows at the opponent.
harm.
Although the masters of various sects have the upper hand in the melee, there are only a small number of the 400 or so disciples who are truly masters. Most of the disciples are mediocre in strength and cannot actually gain the upper hand against the Forbidden Army soldiers, so those on the field
In this situation, Jianghu factions will have absolute advantages in certain places, but overall, neither side has an overwhelming advantage.
However, Han Feng also knew that if the fighting continued like this, even if it could cause serious casualties to various factions, he would probably have very few of the forbidden troops left.

His current idea is to hope that the soldiers in the melee can withdraw from the battlefield and retreat to the beach. There are strong crossbows here to deter them. As long as they can distance themselves from the various factions and have strong crossbows in hand, it will naturally be
leading.
As long as the strength here is preserved, the two groups of troops from the south can take the opportunity to attack the Tianshi Palace from the back. If the Tianshi Palace is successfully captured, these people will have no way to retreat.
When the time comes, we will regroup and kill all the factions on this island.
All the ships are anchored at Wuwei Beach. As long as they retreat to Wuwei Beach and control those ships, the factions will not be able to evacuate and escape from the island.
So he stood behind two groups of soldiers and asked people to raise a small flag and wave it high.
The Jianghu sects definitely couldn't understand the flag order, but the soldiers of the Forbidden Army could understand that the flag order asked the soldiers to withdraw from the battlefield and quickly retreat and assemble towards the general.
Therefore, during the melee, many soldiers took the opportunity to evacuate the battlefield and come to Han Feng.
Naturally, the disciples of various sects could not tolerate the Imperial Guards soldiers retreating so easily and pursued them. The crossbowmen on Han Feng's side fired arrows to intercept the pursuers and cover the evacuation of their own soldiers.
But this can only be done if a small number of soldiers find an opportunity to withdraw. Most of the soldiers are tightly entangled, and once a large area retreats, disciples of various factions will be mixed in to chase them. Han Feng naturally does not dare to shoot arrows to cover
, that would be a big trouble.
The sound of drums on the top of the mountain echoed in all directions, but at the foot of the mountain there were already corpses strewn all over the ground.
At this moment, Han Feng suddenly heard the strong wind behind him, and his heart trembled. He dodged sideways as a conditioned reflex, and slashed back with his knife. However, this sudden dodger caused severe pain in the kneecap of his leg, making him unsteady.
But he had already fallen to the ground, and almost at this moment, he heard the sound of "Puff, puff, puff", and then heard continuous screams, and saw that among the archers lined up in two teams, there were already many
The young man was hit by an arrow in the back and fell to the ground.
Han Feng turned his head and looked to the north, his pupils shrank and his soul was gone.
However, at some point, a large number of densely packed figures appeared behind them, including many archers, who were bending their bows and pulling strings to shoot in this direction.
He was dumbfounded and felt it was incredible. He really didn't understand where this team of people came from.
In the darkness of the night, I saw the team that suddenly emerged from the back was in an orderly formation. The first row was holding wooden shields. They were the crudest simple shields, but they were obviously more standardized than the shields held by the disciples of various sects.
Behind them were many swordsmen, and the archers, under the cover of their companions, kept shooting arrows towards themselves.
That person is obviously not a disciple of any sect.
"Behind!" Han Feng felt weak all over, and suddenly understood that he was probably falling into a carefully designed huge trap tonight. This was a trap for trapped animals. Once he fell into it, there was no possibility of survival. He screamed
Said: "Be careful behind you!"
The crossbowmen who were originally arrayed facing the foot of the mountain naturally realized that something was wrong. Arrows were shot from behind continuously. Within a moment, several people had fallen to the ground. Fortunately, these armored soldiers had strong protective gear, otherwise they would have been killed.
A burst of arrows suddenly attacked from behind, which must have caused heavy casualties.
Some people had already turned around immediately, intending to re-line up to face the enemy behind them. However, if the formation was changed on the spot, there would definitely be a short-term chaos. The people at the rear were already approaching quickly, forming a large black mass, numbering in the hundreds at least.
"Yes...it's Tang Qi!"
A soldier lost his voice.
Others finally discovered that the attacking team from behind had raised several flags. The fire all over the mountain illuminated the bottom of the mountain as bright as day, so everyone could see clearly. Sure enough, there were several flags with the words "
"Tang" word!
Is it Tang Jun?
Han Feng's pupils shrank, feeling even more weird.
Did the imperial court send additional troops?
But why don’t I know anything?
If they were really reinforcements sent by the imperial court, how could they attack their own people?
Upon discovering the Tang army attacking from behind, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army were all shocked, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.
Tonight's operation had been carefully planned in advance. As the empire's ace Imperial Guard, every Imperial Guard soldier was full of confidence and felt that tonight's operation would be completed smoothly.
The emperor's imperial guards are still a little proud in their bones.
But first, when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, a fire suddenly burned on the mountain, causing countless casualties. Before they could recover, hundreds of Jianghu grassroots came from the two wings and killed the imperial army by surprise. They finally stabilized their position and fought bloody battles with various factions without being defeated.
The whole army collapsed. At this critical moment, a large Tang army suddenly appeared from behind and launched an attack without saying a word. No matter how well-trained the soldiers were, under such continuous attacks, they also
I was confused and at a loss.
"The general has an order, and the Imperial Guards have been seduced into rebellion. They should immediately lay down their weapons and surrender on the spot." Under the flag, someone shouted loudly: "If you resist stubbornly, you will annihilate yourself from the Tang Dynasty, and you will be killed without mercy!"
Rebels?
The soldiers of the imperial army were even more confused.
We are the emperor's imperial guards and are loyal to the saint, but we are called rebels. It is simply unreasonable!
But I still have doubts in my heart, how could a good Imperial Guard be labeled as a rebel?
Not only the soldiers of the Forbidden Army, but also Han Feng was a little confused.
"Put down your weapons and surrender." The opponent's formation has already pressed forward and stopped shooting arrows. "If you resist stubbornly, your family will also be implicated and punished!"
The soldiers of the Forbidden Army looked at each other. Although the opponent was already pressing up and they could shoot arrows at the opponent as long as they pulled the trigger, no one dared to act rashly at this moment, and Han Feng did not give any orders. The soldiers were in a dilemma.
Is what the other person said true?
They were under the banner of the Tang Army. If they were really sent by the imperial court to shoot arrows at them, it would naturally be a rebellion.
Many of the soldiers were descendants of official families. If they were really beaten as rebels, the entire family would be implicated.
The soldiers of the Forbidden Army were more or less aware of what was happening in Kyoto, and many officials were accused of treason, and their entire families suffered disaster.
Many people looked at Han Feng who fell down and sat on the ground without getting up, hoping that he would make a decision quickly.
It is of course impossible for these Forbidden Army soldiers to put down their weapons easily. After all, the origin of the opponent and which officers and soldiers they are have not yet been figured out. If they are pretending to be officers and soldiers, and if they put down their weapons now, wouldn't they be risking their lives?
other side?
"They are not the Tang army!" Han Feng saw that the opponent was less than ten steps away and shouted suddenly: "Their uniforms are not officers and soldiers, and neither are their shields..."
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army suddenly woke up.
If the opponent was really an officer or soldier, how could he use a wooden shield?
Although the shields of officers and soldiers cannot all be made of iron, many of them are made of water-soaked cowhide, and there are even some wooden shields. However, the craftsmanship is not as rough as the shields in the hands of these people. At first glance, they are made with the simplest technology.
Well, it is definitely impossible for officers and soldiers to use such crude shields on the battlefield.
When they came to their senses, some of the Forbidden Army soldiers immediately and decisively shot arrows at the opponent. However, while the soldiers were hesitating, the opponent's formation had already approached. The front row of wooden shields was only a few steps away from the Forbidden Army soldiers.
Yao, when the forbidden army reacted and fired the arrow, the other party had already rushed over without hesitation.
The dark crowd came forward like ants. Although a small number of people on the other side fell to the ground with arrows in their hands, before more crossbow arrows could be fired, the other side's soldiers rushed over like a tide, slashing with their swords. Many soldiers did not even have time to draw out their weapons.
Draw your sword to fight.
However, the two swordsmen had already rushed towards Han Feng who was sitting on the ground at the same time, and slashed him down with their swords.
Han Feng's expression suddenly changed, but even though he was injured, he still reacted quickly. Before the big knife could come over, he rolled on the spot and slashed across the calf of a swordsman with his backhand. He was about to succeed when he saw it, but he heard "choking"
"With a sound, a big knife came over from an angle, and the blade blocked Han Feng's knife.
Han Feng only felt that the other party was very powerful and was surprised. He looked up and saw that the other party was less than forty years old. He had a tall build, a tall nose and a wide mouth, a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes were as cold as knives.
Before Han Feng could think about it, the man flipped his wrist, and the sword in his hand had already slashed towards Han Feng.
