Xiao Yanfeng didn't sleep all night, so he divided the light cavalry into five squads, and constantly patrolled around the hill to prevent the Heavenly Army from breaking through and escaping. You must know that under the night, with Rao Qiangfeng's skills, he can easily escape into the mountains and forests, and once Rao Qiangfeng escapes, it is not meaningful to take down all the thieves on the mountain.

The sky gradually brightened, Xiao Yanfeng came to the foot of the mountain to look, and saw the cooking smoke coming out of the mountain, which was as light as mist and as light as smoke as smoke in the camp below the mountain. Lush trees have been cut down, and birds that have lost their homes hover in the air in search of shelter.

The drum "rumble" sounded, and the time for the army to get up at two o'clock came, Xiao Yanfeng turned around and went back to the tent, ordered the generals to gather, and waited until the hour to attack, and took down the nameless post in one fell swoop, capturing Rao Qiangfeng.

On the hill, Rao Qiangfeng squinted at the morning glow in the east, the sun was about to come out, and the war was about to begin. From the hill, it can be clearly seen that the officers and soldiers pushed out twenty catapults from the battalion, and many winch crossbows also blocked the road, apparently to prevent themselves from escaping. Rao Qiangfeng has always wanted to capture a few catapults of the officers and soldiers, this thing is extremely lethal, if there are a few catapults, the city of the court will be muddy.

"Everyone, pay attention, the game below is a catapult, and you will avoid some stones later." Rao Qiangfeng instructed: "I have already sent someone to send a letter to the military division in Honggang Town, asking him to lead the heavenly army to attack the official army stationed in Texas, as long as we hold on for half a day, the military division can break through the defense line of the official army, and then we should cooperate with the outside and fight a big victory." Seeing that there are no catapults below, if anyone can capture one intact, it will be a great achievement. ”

The morning sun poured warmth down the earth, and the catapult made a loud noise, and large stones rose into the air and smashed into the opposite hill. Pumpkin-sized rocks smashed on the ground, causing rocks to fly and dust; Fall on top of the remaining stakes and smash the stakes into a splash of sawdust. The army of Qiutian cowered in the trench, not daring to raise its head, and the officers and troops began to climb in all directions.

The catapult could only throw stones halfway up the mountain, Rao Qiangfeng stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the road to the west, calculating the time Dong Junshi should have launched an offensive against the Texas garrison. Dong Junshi will lead 40,000 troops to attack the officers and troops in Yuanhe County, Nandang County, and Kaifeng County at the same time, and there are at least 15,000 officers and soldiers under the mountain, and there are a large number of siege and defensive ordnance, so the resistance of the army's division should be reduced a lot.

Under the sun, Rao Yanghui's smile also became bright, he discussed with Dong Haoyun before he came to sneak attack the official army's baggage camp, he hijacked the camp to mobilize the official army to defend it, and Dong Haoyun took advantage of the weakness to break through the siege and tear through the net trapped in the east in one fell swoop. The road in the distance was dusty, and several fast horses came straight to the battlefield, Rao Qiangfeng smiled slightly, and came.

At the same time, Xiao Yanfeng received an urgent report from the garrison, and about 50,000 troops marched together to attack Yuanhe County, Nandang County, and Kaifeng County at the beginning of Mao, and along the way cleared the military towns and destroyed the checkpoints, and now they are launching an attack on the county seat. Xiao Yanfeng considered that the Heavenly Army would take advantage of the situation to attack the station, but in his opinion, as long as Rao Qiangfeng, the rebel leader of the Heavenly Army, was captured, it didn't matter if the Heavenly Army captured the three county seats, without Rao Qiangfeng, the Heavenly Army would soon collapse.

"Order, intensify the attack, and in an hour Ben will occupy the mountain. Let the three counties of Yuanhe County, Nandang County, and Kaifeng County hold on until noon, and Ben will lead the army back to help. Xiao Yanfeng commanded.

Officers and soldiers have been

After rushing to the first trench and fighting with the Heavenly Army, the catapult stopped to prevent accidental injury. Xiao Yanfeng was anxious about the battle in the garrison, and the battle situation might change if he delayed for a quarter of an hour, and said in a loud voice: "Except for the light cavalry, everyone will attack with the general, and they will not withdraw their troops if they do not occupy the mountain." ”

The drum sounded the order, and the officers and soldiers were like ant colonies to kill the hill, Rao Qiangfeng raised his voice and shouted: "Brothers, the military division has led a large army to attack the county seat, and is about to come to rescue us, and the officers and soldiers will not be able to withstand it." When the defense line of the official army is broken, Rao leads everyone to eat and drink spicy food together, let's pull the emperor off the horse, and everyone will be officials. ”

More than 10,000 people were fighting on the hill within a radius of a few miles, and the fallen corpses were spread all over the hill, and the blood flowed into a stream, which flowed all the way down the mountain.

The Heavenly Army was surrounded on all sides and had no way out, and Rao Qiangfeng told them that the army might come to the rescue at any time, and the powerful combat effectiveness broke out, and the competition for every trench by the officers and troops became extremely difficult. The corpses filled the three-foot-deep trench, and screams filled everywhere.

Rao Qiangfeng was covered in blood, and he didn't know how many officers and soldiers he had cut down, but the officers and soldiers rushed forward fearlessly, and nearly half of the casualties of the Heavenly Army had to retreat step by step, and they were squeezed in the last trench circle. Rao Qiangfeng's heart was like fire, at most he could hold out for two quarters of an hour, and the official army would wipe them out, and when he glanced to the west, he couldn't see the movement of the arrival of the army.

"Drive the officers and soldiers back", Rao Qiangfeng shouted angrily: "Rush down with me." With that, Rao Qiangfeng jumped up first and rushed towards the officers and soldiers in front of him. His generals Zong Ming, Xu Liang and others did not hesitate to follow behind him, counterattacking towards the official army, and under the leadership of Rao Qiangfeng, many of the Heavenly Army cheered up Yu Yong and launched a counter-charge.

Ma Ba lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, but if you look closely, you can find that his clothes are shaking, at this time Ma Ba's heart is full of remorse, he should not be greedy for money into the snake mountain, let alone take people to rob the heavy camp, the army is about to be defeated, the official army will settle accounts after the autumn, how can they be good, just think of a way to surrender.

After seeing Rao Qiangfeng's bravery, Xiao Yanfeng did not move forward, but stood at the second trench to command, seeing Rao Qiangfeng and others counterattacking, Xiao Yanfeng said with a smile: "The Heavenly Army is already dying, everyone go up, consume the last strength of the traitor, the victory is decided, I ask for credit for everyone." "More than 10,000 people participated in the war, and the biggest credit is, of course, Xiao Yanfeng's, Xiao Yanfeng seems to have seen the arrival of the edict of the marquis.

At the critical moment, the dust rose on the west avenue, and Rao Qiangfeng, who always paid attention to the movement in the west, was overjoyed when he saw the dust, and shouted: "Brothers, the military division led the army to come, and the official army is finished." ”

Xiao Yanfeng's scalp was numb, seeing that victory was just around the corner, the reinforcements of the Heavenly Army actually arrived, and seeing that the sun had not yet reached noon, the defenders who calculated the distance to the garrison could not even support it for two hours. However, Xiao Yanfeng still had 4,000 light horsemen at the foot of the mountain, which was enough to block the thief army that came to help.

The corners of Xiao Yanfeng's mouth showed a cruel sneer, what can be more demoralizing than letting the thief army see their hopes dashed, as long as Rao Qiangfeng is captured or killed, he can take Rao Qiangfeng or his head to surrender and establish immortal achievements.

The horn sounded at the foot of the mountain, and Wan Decheng led four thousand light horsemen to meet the dust head according to Xiao Yanfeng's generals

Fighting against the foot soldiers, Wan Decheng's face was full of the pleasure of torture and killing.

Two hundred paces away, Wan Decheng saw that the enemy was indeed a foot soldier, and what combat power the infantry of the long-distance attack was, Wan Decheng raised the machete in his hand, and gave the order with a cruel smile: "Rush over and kill this gang of thieves." ”

Dong Haoyun was in the army, and after receiving the letter sent by Rao Qiangfeng, he selected 40,000 elites from the Qiutian army, and quietly touched the official army garrisons such as Yuanhe County, Nandang County, and Kaifeng County, and launched an attack at the beginning of Mao. Yuanhe County and Kaifeng County each dispatched 6,000 soldiers and horses, while Nandang County, where Xiao Yanfeng was stationed, mobilized 28,000 men and horses.

Nandang County originally had 8,000 officers and troops, including 4,000 light cavalry, and the city garrison was well armoured, which was enough to resist the attack of the Heavenly Army. However, Xiao Yanfeng took away 4,000 light cavalry, and later took away 2,000 soldiers and horses, and only 2,000 officers and soldiers were left to defend the city, and the main general was not there.

Leaving 3,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, Dong Haoyun did not dare to delay, and led 25,000 men and horses to rescue Rao Qiangfeng. For the Heavenly Army, Rao Qiangfeng is the courage of the army, if he is really killed or captured, the Heavenly Army may really be dispersed.

It was about 30 miles from Nandang County to Wuminggang, and Dong Haoyun learned from the captured officers and soldiers that the officers and soldiers had 4,000 light cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry. However, Dong Haoyun got six catapults from Nandang City, as well as twelve winch crossbows, 2,000 crossbow arrows in a row, and even more bows and arrows.

Time can not afford to delay, Dong Haoyun led the army to the nameless post with the ordnance, eight or nine miles away from the nameless post, Dong Haoyun found an excellent ambush place - two mountains and a ditch, the avenue is circling and curved, just ambush the soldiers. So the archers and crossbow archers hid in the mountains and forests, and Dong Haoyun asked Shu Yongjie to lead 8,000 people to rescue first, only to defeat but not win.

Wan Decheng's light cavalry met with the 8,000 Heavenly Army, and the Heavenly Army collapsed at the first touch, and Wan Decheng had the feeling of waving bamboo branches to drive away chickens and ducks for an hour. The machete kept swinging, and the human head swirled, there should be more than twenty of them, Wan Decheng showed a satisfied smile, this time the battle exploits are enough to promote himself to the second level, from Zhaowu Captain to Ranger General. However, compared with General Xiao's achievements as a marquis, it is still far from enough, and he works hard to strive for a few more ranks, he is not greedy, and he is satisfied with a baron.

Four thousand light horsemen were of the same mind, scrambling to kill the fleeing Heavenly Army, and unknowingly chased for miles.

A lieutenant urged Ma to come close and reminded Wan Decheng: "General Wan, don't chase after the poor, beware of ambushes." ”

Wan Decheng reined in his horse, looked at the fleeing Heavenly Army, as if he was not running in one direction, and ordered: "Send out scouts and take a look around." ”

The effort is not big, someone returns, and there is a large army blocking the road not far ahead. Wan Decheng led the crowd to watch, a row of winch crossbows stopped on the avenue, and the black pressure of the heavenly army behind the winch crossbow seemed to be more than the people who had been killed just now. How many feats this has, Wan Decheng's heart is hot, his dream seems to be smaller, and the viscount and even the earl are beckoning to him.

"Drive the Heaven Breaker Army to charge in front, let's follow behind, everyone be careful, don't be injured by crossbow arrows. This thing can only be shot once, and we'll rush over after the bolts are fired, God will help us. ”
