Following Zhang Xiu's order, countless arrows fell from the city wall. Countless arrows also shot up from the military formation behind Zhang Xiu. Two arrow rains intertwined in the air and then flew forward. In the past, among the Koda Han thief soldiers, no one needed to say anything. Those thief soldiers immediately raised their shields to block the falling arrows. And not all of the thief soldiers Everyone carried a shield. Many thieves saw the dense rain of arrows falling. Their reaction was to stab their companions next to them with knives and then snatch the shields from their hands.
However, even if there is a shield, it does not mean that it will definitely be able to block the dense rain of arrows. Many thieves were still hit by arrows and fell directly to death on the spot. Of course, these thieves who were hit by arrows plus those Compared to the entire army of thieves, the number of thieves who were stabbed to death by their own people was still a small number. The nearly 30,000 thieves were still charging forward non-stop.
Zhang Xiu slowly raised the steel gun in his hand to his chest. Arrows kept flying over his head. However, Zhang Xiu knew very well that it was absolutely impossible to withstand the enemy's attack with these arrows alone. . In the end, it is inevitable to have a close encounter with the enemy.
At this time, the Jianghuai Army also began to attack. After all, the Jianghuai Army and the bandits were all allies. Du Fuwei was not that shameless. He sat back and watched his allies die. But he did not move. In Du Fuwei After Wei gave the order, Ximen Junyi led the army and quickly caught up with the rebels. Together with the rebels, they attacked towards Yueyang City.
Originally, the attacking momentum of the traitors had stagnated the morale of the Jiangnan Army. Now another Jianghuai Army was added. For a time, a panic began to spread throughout the Jiangnan Army. Seeing this scene, I had just boarded the city. Zheng Wenxiu, who was shaking his head, also trembled in his heart. But when he lowered his head and saw Zhang Xiu's back, Zheng Wenxiu also strengthened his confidence again. He shouted in a deep voice: "Don't panic. Don't panic. Shoot arrows. Keep shooting arrows." "
Zheng Wenxiu's voice spread throughout the Jiangnan Army. Zhang Xiu, who was in the front, heard it and showed a rare smile at the corner of his mouth. Then, Zhang Xiu shouted to the left and right: "You guys, you remember. You guys." Your wives and children are behind you and in front of you, but they are man-eating demon kings. Do you want to give your wives and children to those man-eating demon kings to enjoy? Remember, retreat. There is only a dead end. Only by fighting to the death can you earn a little room for survival for your family."
"Kill. Kill. Kill." Hearing Zhang Xiu's words, the soldiers of the Jiangnan Army also suddenly reacted. Yes. The enemies in front are all the traitors of the man-eating demon king Zhu Can. If this battle is lost. Then my family will become Zhu Can's army rations. Most of the Jiangnan Army's soldiers are local strong men. Their families are here. Even for their families, this battle will never be allowed to be defeated. Thinking of it Here, the soldiers of the Jiangnan Army who had just been suppressed by the opponent's momentum once again mustered up their courage and shouted in unison. Everyone was ready to fight to the death.
Seeing this scene, Ximen Junyi, who was in the Jianghuai Army formation, couldn't help but have a headache. This is the disadvantage of joining forces with Zhu Can. Usually after being at such a huge disadvantage in strength, the enemy's fighting spirit will dissipate. Even if they reluctantly start a battle, For opponents who have no fighting spirit or even confidence, this battle will go very smoothly. But Zhu Can's enemies are different. They are all worried that they and their families will become food in Zhu Can's mouth, so no one is willing to surrender easily. .In fact, it was even more of a desperate fight.
Thinking of this, Ximen Junyi couldn't help but turn around and looked at Zhu Can who was not far away. But the smile on Zhu Can's face made Ximen Junyi couldn't help but be stunned. The kind of smile on Zhu Can's face His smile was full of confidence and arrogance. He seemed to have no regard for the Jiangnan Army in front of him, who were already planning to fight to the death. There was even a feeling of enjoying the battle.
This is a madman. Seeing Zhu Can's appearance, this was the first feeling in Ximen Junyi's heart. Then, Ximen Junyi turned back and looked at Du Fuwei behind him. He didn't understand. Why did Du Fuwei give up Wanhe and instead cooperate with a lunatic like Zhu Can? Cooperate with Wanhe. Although there is a possibility of being slowly annexed by Wanhe, at least there is no fear of life. Then isn't Xue Shixiong a very good person? A good example. Cooperating with a lunatic like Zhu Can not only ruined Du Fuwei's reputation, but was also very likely to be dragged down by Zhu Can.
Ximen Junyi knew very well that all this was because of Wang Xiongxi's death in battle. But today's Du Fuwei seems to be much different from the wise, rough and fine Jianghuai overlord in the past.
Ximen Junyi slowly moved his gaze forward again. Although his heart was full of confusion, he would not question Du Fuwei's decision. Ever since Du Fuwei saved himself from the sword of an officer and soldier. .And after he adopted himself as his adopted son, Ximen Junyi had already decided that in the future he would only become a sharp blade in Du Fuwei's hand. He would stab wherever Du Fuwei pointed. A sharp blade, right? Will question any decision of the owner.
Soon, the allied forces of the Jianghuai Army and the traitors had approached the front line of the Jiangnan Army. The two sides were like two waves in the sea. They collided hard. The weapons and equipment of the Jiangnan Army officers were basically the same. They all had long spears and round shields. Under Zhang Xiu's order, the Jiangnan Army formed a square formation and raised their spears straight up. A dense forest of spears was set up. The Jianghuai Army and the bandits collided with this forest of spears. Many people in the forest were directly pierced by spears. But even so, the Jianghuai Army and the traitors still stepped on the corpses of their companions, rushed into the Jiangnan Army's formation, and raised their arms towards the enemy. The weapons in their hands.
"Kill..." Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiu didn't hesitate at all. He raised his steel gun and stabbed forward. He was the leader of the Jiangnan Army. From the moment he let Zheng Wenxiu return to the city. His every move is related to the morale of the Jiangnan Army. Therefore, Zhang Xiu must be tougher, because if he is weak or shrinks at all, it will cause the morale of the Jiangnan Army that was finally built up to decline.
"Fire arrows. Don't stop. Keep firing arrows." On the top of the city, when she saw Zhang Xiu rushing into the enemy's formation, Zheng Wenxiu's eyes also turned red. She immediately fired arrows to the left and right. Hand screamed. Under his shout, all the archers tried their best to shoot out the arrows in their hands. They used their arrows to support their comrades who were fighting with the enemy outside the city.
The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Now outside Yueyang City, the soldiers of these three armies are proving this with their lives. And in such a contest, the ones who have the upper hand are actually the seemingly disorganized Kodahan Thief Soldiers. Although this band of thieves did not have unified armor, weapons, or neat queues, nor any formal tactics or fighting methods. But when they fought with the enemy, this band of thieves immediately showed their ability to reach the cold thieves. Although soldiers are notorious, they are still able to survive in the Jianghuai area.
On the battlefield, every soldier is crazy. It's like the water on a swamp. It looks calm on the surface. But as long as something steps into this water, the entire water will immediately become turbid.
It was unbearable. Everything that stepped into the water was sucked into the turbidity. The thieves used their various weapons to slash at the enemies in front of them. Their faces were all full of ferocious looks.
If the gun breaks, use a knife to chop it. If the knife edge collapses, use your fist to hit it. Use your foot to kick it. Fists and feet are ineffective. Just bite it with your teeth. They have shown with their actions what is evil and what is evil.
It's called a crazy attack.
Zhang Xiu, who entered the military formation, had a deep understanding of it. At first, Zhang Xiu relied on the impact of sitting down on the horse to continue to charge forward for a while. But soon, Zhang Xiu felt like he was trapped.
In the swamp, it seemed that every step forward took more effort. The thieves didn't pay attention to how sharp Zhang Xiu's marksmanship was. When everyone saw Zhang Xiu, it was like seeing the enemy who killed his father. Every one of them looked at Zhang Xiu.
He rushed towards Zhang Xiu regardless of his own safety.
Zhang Xiu could remain calm at first, using his steel spear to kill the thieves who were rushing towards him. But as time went by, Zhang Xiu became more and more surprised, especially when he saw a thieves.
After being pierced through the throat by himself, he still stared with a pair of red eyes, clutching Zhang Xiu's spear with both hands and not letting go. Only then did Zhang Xiu realize how crazy the bandit he was facing was.
.And how reckless it was for him to rush into the bandits’ formation so easily.
But now Zhang Xiu realized this. It seemed to be too late. When he was about to turn his horse and run back, he found that he was already hundreds of steps away from the Jiangnan Army's battle line. Every step he took.
Zhang Xiu also felt that it was becoming more and more difficult. It seemed that more and more thieves were attacking him.
"Ah." At this moment, Zhang Xiu suddenly screamed. It was not that Zhang Xiu was injured, but that the horse that Zhang Xiu was sitting on suddenly neighed and raised its front hooves high.
Xiu didn't expect that his mount would suddenly go crazy. He grabbed the reins and saddle with all his strength, trying to stabilize his body. However, he saw several thieves sitting on the front hooves of the war horse following him.
The raised front hooves were swung in the air. At this moment, they were wearing ferocious smiles, biting the horses' legs tightly with their teeth.
In pain, the war horse raised its body again. But this time Zhang Xiu could no longer catch it. He fell off the horse and landed heavily on the ground.
