The 2,000 pikemen screamed and rushed towards the French, and in an instant they were entangled with the enemy with bayonets.

These soldiers, who had been baptized by the anti-purging battle, were all strong in martial arts, and they took advantage of their weapons, which immediately suppressed the momentum of the French army and gained the upper hand.

The level of bayonet fighting of the French soldiers on the other side was also very good, which was much more unexpected than Mai Ke. Could it be that they also have superior guidance? The situation, which should have been one-sided, was blocked by these French soldiers armed with rifles and bayonets.

Now that the two armies are mixed, there is no use for those foreign guns. I had to watch them fight. The battle turned out to be deadlocked.

At this moment, a pair of eyes were staring at the city wall tower, and he had binoculars in his hands. At this time, he saw the gesture Qiu Jili gave him, which was really what he was looking forward to.

This person is none other than Ruan Shiming, the leader of the executive alliance. He was the designer and commander of the Battle of the South Gate, and Qiu Jili was just one of the links, acting as a vanguard.

Ruan Shiming saw Qiu Jili's gesture that meant "you can do it", and knew that everything was normal and within the pre-planned situation, so he quietly raised a red flag from the top of the tower.

At the same time, a dense crowd emerged from behind the position held by Mai Ke, looking basically the same as the people who surrounded them on the way here.

At about the same time, the same crowd appeared on the left and right.

Looking at their weapons, in addition to countless broadswords and spears, there are also a large number of rifles of all kinds. There were even small artillery.

Mai Ke's scalp was numb for a while, there were too many people!

At the same time, he also realized that he was careless. If you get here and go all out to siege the city and disrupt the enemy's deployment, there will be no such dilemma.

Now it seems that there is clearly a chain of schemes here, and the reckless French commander is all part of this. His timely attack led the expeditionary force to choose to defend on the spot, although many French soldiers were defeated. But a valuable opportunity was lost. Thus allowing the enemy's plot to succeed.

These enemies, who were surrounded from behind, on the left and right, regardless of where they had been ambushed beforehand or later transferred there, showed that the enemy's decision-makers were full of clever moves. There is no last resort.

I saw reinforcements coming up from three sides. Qiu Jili ordered his men to get out of the fight. went to a place twenty zhang away and monitored Mai Ke and the others from a distance.

Mai Ke did not chase either, as the enemy forces from the other three directions continued to approach. There is no intention of stopping. Even Qiu Jili, who had just disengaged, made a comeback and pressed on it from the front.

Mai Ke looked at the city wall, his eyes caught the red flag that was fluttering, and he immediately realized that this red flag did not exist in the first place. It is estimated that the decision-makers and commander-in-chief of the enemy are there.

Seeing that the enemy was approaching from all directions, Mai Ke commanded the expeditionary force to line up in back-to-back formations. Mai Ke is also ready, if the enemy releases guns and arrows, he will repeat the old trick again, and use a protective shield to add a layer of insurance to everyone.

I don't know for what reason, the enemy did not shoot and fire, but gradually approached at a pace that was not slow or hurried, and did not make a loud noise.

Finally, the two armies met and fought fiercely.

It was the spear team that was the first to start the battle, and Leng Sensen's spear blade swept towards the enemy. The opponent made two or three low-grade moves, and was defeated, and then quickly retreated and withdrew from the battle.

The spear team was about to pursue, but Don't stop. The enemy is outnumbered, and we must not be scattered.

Then there was the Tang Sect elite led by Yang Wei and the enemy who came together. Probably because they didn't have long weapons in their hands, more people chose them as their attack point.

Looking at the swarming enemies, Tang Men was not polite, and still threw out a handful of poisonous sand, but this time it was a poisonous sand that killed people. Since Mai Ke didn't have a special explanation, whether he forgot Jì or there were other reasons, these Tang Sect disciples could play freely.

Those attackers who wanted to pick up the cheap, but they didn't expect to pick up the cheap, and they were killed and injured all over the place by the poisonous sand, so they knew that they were powerful, and they hurriedly retreated, how far away from these killing gods who were covered in black and full of murderous aura.

After two temptations, I tasted the power of the expeditionary force, and these encirclements all retreated thirty zhang, still maintaining the encirclement of Mai Ke and others, and then waited patiently there.

Mai Ke took the time to look at the flag on the tower of the city wall again, and he didn't know what had turned yellow again. This should be the enemy commander who changed his strategy, perhaps to stop the offensive and stick to the defense.

Nguyen Sai Hung has been observing the enemy's movements and changes on both sides, and at the same time, he has always kept his 10,000 Imperial Forest Army patiently waiting for the right moment. The 2,000 elites recruited along the way, of course, are the only ones who are looking ahead.

This is, he asked Mai Ke for battle, and he was going to lead 12,000 men to attack the enemy to see if he could open a gap. He built a direction of attack in the west, and if it was opened, it would be possible to rendezvous with the fleet.

Mai Ke thought for a moment and thought that this attempt could be done, so he nodded in agreement.

Yuan Shixiong shook his spirit, took the lead, with the Imperial Forest Army as the center and the Guangyi Army as the two wings, and rushed towards the encirclement in the west together.

The defending enemy immediately fired a volley of guns and crossbows, causing many casualties. But Nguyen Thi Hung didn't care about this at all, and continued to risk his life to storm the enemy's defensive lines.

Ten minutes later, a hole was finally torn open, and the army burst out, and Mai Ke was overjoyed, and was about to order the others to break through the gap as well.

Unfortunately, at this time, Nguyen Shixiong was blocked by two larger enemy forces, and as soon as they came up, they were more fierce guns, and they were strengthened with bows and crossbows.

Ruan Shixiong saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly turned back. As a result, the gap that had just been opened was blocked again. And no matter how they attacked, they just held on. One can't help but wonder if they deliberately let them out just now.

At this time, the enemy behind had also chased over, Ruan Shixiong was defending the enemy at both ends, and the situation was critical; fortunately, Mai Ke discovered the abnormality here and personally led the Tang Sect elite to respond.

Those in the middle are still desperately blocking, and they will not take a step back when they are attacked on both sides. Mai Ke was furious, you won't give in to death, aren't you taking your own death?

Immediately ordered the Tang Sect to attack with an indiscriminate hidden weapon, that is to say, whether it is poisonous or not, it can be used at will.

As a result, half a minute later, all the obstacles in the middle of the enemy fell on the enemy, either temporarily unconscious, or forever unconscious.

Seeing that the obstacle had been cleared, Nguyen Shih Hung immediately led everyone through the gap and returned to the original base.

As he returned, he wiped a cold sweat - he almost didn't come back. (To be continued......)
