The breakout shield team organized by Cai Xiao gave great encouragement to the soldiers behind him, desperate situations can always stimulate people's potential, and a powerless scholar can also slash people with a knife when he is forced to do so, not to mention these soldiers.

With the attack of arrows, the soldiers who fell one after another behind the shield team did not cause the remnants to riot again, but angered the surviving soldiers, and the shield team moved step by step into the bandit position, and was surrounded by the surrounding bandits.

The copper wall composed of the shield was tightly knit so that the bandits could not take any advantage, but the cold stabbing of the Pu knife in the shield and Cai Xiao's nimble spear caused a lot of casualties to the bandits, and they killed seven or eight bandits after moving a distance of less than ten meters.

The soldiers behind him, under the leadership of the commander of the army, had already begun to organize an effective counterattack, and the scattered shield soldiers were gathered to form a vanguard, and the spearmen, sword soldiers, and archers followed behind the shield soldiers, slowly moving towards the hillside, and the archers began to shoot at the hill in an orderly manner.

Seeing that he was gradually losing his advantage on the battlefield, a bandit who looked like a leader shot an arrow and shouted, "Little ones! Remove! ”

Hearing the order, the bandits on the hillsides on both sides of the road slowly retreated.

In front of the green shark mouth, the cavalry unit of 1,500 people was caught off guard by this sudden attack, and before they could react, they were killed by bandits, and all the leading generals were killed, and before they could organize a counterattack, they were almost slaughtered.

Even if a counterattack is organized, there is no use, in mountain battles, the cavalry does not have any advantage at all, and even the horses become a burden, and some of the soldiers die not under the enemy's swords and axes, but are trampled to death by frightened horses.

Lei Xu, who was immersed in the pleasure of killing the enemy, slashed down a soldier hiding under the horse with a knife, and heard a shout from the hillside, "Second master!" Evacuate! The Chinese army is covering up! ”

Hearing this, Lei Xu immediately scolded the surrounding men who were snatching the spoils of war, and shouted loudly: "Everyone get on the horse and retreat to the second line of defense!" ”

Yes, this is only the first line of defense, Lei Xu optimized Zuo Ci's deployment and set up two lines of defense, the second line of defense is about 5 miles away from the first line of defense.

Although the terrain of the second line of defense was inferior to that of the first line, after this battle, the soldiers of the county suffered heavy casualties and suffered heavy morale, and the second line of defense was more than enough to cooperate with reinforcements to stop the remaining enemy.

The bandits at the foot of the mountain mounted their nearest horses and ran in the direction of the cottage after Lei Xu.

The bandits who had withdrawn from the mouth of the shark also descended the mountain, snatched a horse of their choice, and retreated on their first mount.

When they reached the second line of defense, Zhou Zhi had already led more than 200 minions in the cottage to arrive, and the two sides joined forces and successfully met the division, and roughly counted the number of people, because it was an ambush and their own battlefield advantage was obvious, so the casualties were not large.

About 80 people were killed, about 60 were seriously wounded, about 200 were slightly wounded, and about 800 people were still capable of fighting.

On the other hand, the casualties of the county soldiers were much heavier, about 1,100 killed and about 900 seriously wounded.

In the first battle, the bandit army won with a battle loss of more than 1:10.

Cai Xiao led the remnants of the army to break out of the encirclement with difficulty, quickly straightened out the remaining remnants, and rushed forward to rescue the cavalry troops in front.

The road was littered with corpses, the air was filled with the smell of blood and barbecue, and the corpses of some horses that had been killed by rolling wood boulders fell on both sides of the road, and the falling fireballs ignited the surrounding vegetation, and the corpses were scorched in flames.

The cavalry had fewer than 200 survivors, corpses strewn beyond recognition, wounded wailing in pain, and the panicked neighing of the few surviving horses.

The regular army of 4,000 men was defeated by a rabble of bandits almost half of its strength at the slightest glance, which was a great shame for every soldier who claimed to be an elite soldier.

Cai Xiao had no time to take care of so much, urging the soldiers to hurry up and carry out the rescue.

"Master...... Ahem...... Let me down...... Cough...... Ahem...... I can walk ...... myself."

Wang Huan, who was on Weng Li's back, woke up after a bump, his lungs were still hot and painful, his throat was like being scraped by a knife, and his voice was hoarse.

Weng Li trotted and turned around and said angrily: "What nonsense! I'll put you down when it's safe! ”

Looking at the angry master, Wang Huan didn't dare to say anything more, coughed and closed his eyes.

Half an hour later, everyone quickly returned to Song Wan and Cheng Fugui's location.

After Wang Huan was put down, he covered his chest, looked at Gu Wu who had woken up, smiled slightly and then coughed violently, leaned over the tree next to him and coughed for more than a minute, spit out a mouthful of black thick phlegm, slapped his chest and drank a few sips of water before he recovered from the water bladder handed by Cheng Fugui.

Wiping the tears coughed up from the corners of his eyes, Wang Huan said to everyone in a hoarse voice: "Platoon Commander Lu...... Ahem... Send two people to escort ...... Ahem...... Escort Ling Fei back to heal...... Ahem, the rest of us will rest for 15 minutes and follow me...... Ahem, follow me from the west side of Wohu Mountain to the bandit cottage. ”

Lu Feng looked at Cai Wen and asked, "Doesn't this girl have to be sent back?" ”

Wang Huan shook his head gently, and then Lu Feng arranged for Cheng Fugui and Shan Jun to escort Ling Fei back to Lujiang.

With the help of the two of them, Ling Fei struggled to climb onto the horse, looked at Wang Huan with beautiful eyes and said, "Young master...... You, you pay attention to safety. ”

Wang Huan looked at her and nodded, Ling Fei shook the reins slightly, and the horses slowly walked towards the dirt road not far away, followed by the two escorts.

Weng Li looked at Ling Fei, who was leaving slowly, with a complicated expression, and then looked at Cai Wen who was sitting on the side, and asked Wang Huan dissatisfiedly: "Young Master, you finally escaped, do you still want to go back?" ”

Thinking of the figure on the cliff last night, Wang Huan closed his eyes in pain and said slowly: "Master, if you don't go back, you can't leave Zhang Feng there alone, I want to take him home!" ”

After Wang Huan recounted the situation last night, all the members of the military assassin team were silent, their fists were clenched tightly, and they did not shout "revenge" but turned their eyes to Lu Feng, waiting for his order.

Lu Feng was injected unnaturally by these dozens of eyes, and after listening to Wang Huan's story, he also hated it so much, but with such dozens of people, how could he kill back the cottage and snatch back Zhang Feng's body? He could only ask tentatively, "Young Master, do you have to go?" ”

Wang Huan sat down slowly against the tree pole, nodded and said slowly: "Well, you have to go!" ”

The supreme leader spoke, and Lu Feng could only order everyone to rest in place, although he thought rationally in his heart that since he had lost a brother, he could not let more brothers take risks.

Wang Huan knew what he thought, but if he didn't go, he would regret it for the rest of his life, he didn't want to spend the rest of his life in guilt, although snatching back the body could not save anything, after all, it was a tradition since ancient times that fallen leaves returned to the roots, and he didn't want Zhang Feng's parents to receive a large pension, and his child's body was in the wilderness.

In order not to feel guilty, it is very selfish to let 30 people take risks with themselves, Wang Huan is selfish, and at the same time, he also wants to test how much the members of the military assassination can pay for their comrades-in-arms who get along day and night.

Cai Wen sat on the side, gnawing on the jerky given to her by the military assassins, feeling their silent sadness, looking at the boy opposite who had a dark face and saved herself for the fourth time, and fell into deep self-blame, if it weren't for himself, he wouldn't have become like this, if it weren't for himself...... Nor will his men die......

After half an hour of rescue, the seriously wounded soldiers of the county were all gathered to receive emergency treatment by military doctors, but the few military doctors were a drop in the bucket for nearly 1,000 seriously wounded.

At this time, once Cai Xiao withdraws his troops, the next time he attacks, he may be ambushed, Crouching Tiger Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to pay such a heavy price to capture Qingqikou and gain a firm foothold, he does not want to, and he can't withdraw his troops.

There were so many casualties, but the bandits were not injured, so how could they keep up with the boss when they went back like this? Even if his father-in-law is the Marquis of Guan Nei, he can't keep him at this time, so he can only rush forward.

500 lightly wounded soldiers were dispatched, the carriages carrying grain and grass were unloaded, and the seriously wounded were transported back to Lujiang for treatment.

The remnants of the county army advanced a mile forward, and after reaching a relatively flat place, they did not dare to march rashly, and the army settled down, rested and waited in place, and it was already noon.

Cai Xiao discharged the scout reconnaissance, took out the map and discussed the battle plan with several partial generals and staff officers of the army.

There are not many generals left in the reinforcements, and their thoughts at this time are the same as Cai Xiao, if they can't take Wohu Mountain, they will definitely be punished by the top after they go back, and they are already riding tigers.

In the woods, Wang Huan, who was resting, opened his eyes, wiped his mouth after eating a few mouthfuls of dry food, and said, "Everyone, get on the horse and get ready to go!" ”

Cai Wen stood up and walked towards him, with guilt on her face, and asked in a low voice, "That...... So what do I do? ”

Wang Huan replied, "Aren't you waiting for your brother to save you?" I'll take you to your brother right now. ”

"But...... But I can't ride a horse......" Cai Wen didn't dare to look at him, and said with her head down.

Wang Huan pulled out the short knife inserted in the ground, the scabbard was gone, turned over on the horse, stretched out his hand and said to Cai Wen: "Come up!" ”

Cai Wen got on the horse and sat behind Wang Huan, her hands didn't know where to put them, and she tightly grasped the set of bandit clothes on his body that were full of sour and smoky smells.

Wang Huan held the knife in one hand and the reins in the other, turned his head slightly and said, "Hold it tight, it will be very bumpy for a while." ”

Cai Wen hugged his waist with both hands, but whispered like a mosquito fly: "Well......"

After watching everyone get on the horse in turn, Wang Huan flicked the reins: "Drive!" ”

The horses galloped towards the dirt road, and the thirty people behind him, waving their whips, followed him closely, and the group galloped towards the official road to the west of Wohu Mountain.
