Lan Ziyi rode on his horse and ordered loudly

"Keep going, don't stop, don't go deep into the thief formation, and storm north along the city wall, we are going to buy time for the city wall."

When the army heard this, they shouted loudly and continued to speed up their horses.

The soldiers who rushed in front laid their horses flat, turning themselves into weapons in the rapid charge,

The slender handle of the spear held the sharp tip of the lance and plunged straight into the dense flesh, and the powerful impact made everything that stood in the way of this weapon become a dish that was about to be skewered with bamboo sticks.

The thief who blocked the iron hoof could only see the cold light flashing in front of him, and then the severe discomfort of the foreign body piercing the body, the moment of the lance, the thief first felt that his chest was hit like a punch, followed by the impact of the forechest piercing and the sound of broken ribs along the body, and then in the next breath, the person couldn't help coughing up blood, and the whole lung felt filled with salty liquid as if drowning,

Even at this time, the thief still couldn't believe his current situation, could he have been hit like this, obviously he was standing well just now, this must be an illusion, but the sharp pain that came at the end still shattered the thief's illusion, he wanted to scream but was already filled with blood in his chest, he wanted to stop but was dragged on the ground by a long lance, every attempt to move his body was torture, at this moment the thief understood that death was his only relief, but he was no longer able to free himself.

If only the officers and soldiers come on horseback, the thieves can still dodge left and right, but now the Jihu Battalion has 3,000 iron horses like a wall, and the long lance is like a forest, and the thieves who block in front of this iron hoof are like ants, even if they don't die under the lance, they will be buried in the horseshoe.

The thieves who were lucky enough to survive from under the horses' hooves had no time to rejoice in their luck when they were struck in the heads by the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion in the back row, and their bodies fell to the ground like sandbags, and the tofu-like brains mixed with blood flowed out of the wounds on their skulls, and then they were crushed by the horseshoe and mixed with the mud to rot into thin mud.

Except for the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion in the first two rows, who had space to use their long guns, the soldiers in the back could not put their long weapons horizontally, but they did not rest there, but switched to their bows and arrows to shoot the thieves.

Most of the thieves who are now around the soldiers are only light armor, and all the other torsos except for the front heart and back chest are exposed, which is the live target of the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion.

The warriors squatted on the back of a galloping horse with their legs too high and lifted their bodies in the air, while keeping their upper bodies steady, their left arms strong, their right hands holding their bows, and aiming their arrows at the thieves.

Every time a warrior fires an arrow, it is targeted, and the feathers of the arrows pierce the air around them and then go straight to their targets - either the eyes, or the throat, or the arms and thighs, the thieves who are lucky enough to be taken away by an arrow and fall down with a muffled sound, the unlucky ones cover their wounds and roll to the ground screaming, some thieves are hit by two arrows at the same time, and the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion who release the arrows laugh as if they are joking with each other, and insult each other for choosing the wrong prey.

The arrows fired by the thieves who fought back in a hurry either flew away from nervousness or struck the armor of the Jihu soldiers and were bounced off, and these archers never had a chance to fire a second arrow after releasing one arrow, and when they re-aligned the strings, the Jihu soldiers returned fire and hit them, leaving them to sleep.

The soldiers of the Jihu Battalion in the front row were either broken or strung too many people after charging for a while, and they were finally discarded by the soldiers.

After throwing away the horses, the soldiers changed their sabers and slashed as before, and hundreds of cavalry warriors flipped up and down and waved their sabers, and the cold light that revealed flashed to the human eye, and from a distance it looked like a huge feeding locust, devouring all the flesh and blood of the people in its path.

The thieves who stood in front of the knights did not relieve their pressure because of the disappearance of the horse lance, the sharp blade was as deadly as the slash on the body, and anything that blocked the saber horizontally would be cut into two pieces, and the only thing that could block the blade was the neck and chest left,

The helmeted thief was a little lucky, the saber chopping on the helmet made of copper and iron only knocked the thief out, and then the horse knocked the stunned thief down, and finally the horse's hooves would reap everything.

In fact, the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion on both wings have already used sabers, and they use them much less effort than the soldiers in the front row, and they only need to flatten the blade outward, and the momentum of the horses will naturally make the blade become a life-saving talisman for harvesting life.

The 3,000 soldiers of the Jihu battalion continued to charge north along the city wall outside the city, like an iron plough cutting a deep ravine on the front line of the bandits, and the thieves who concentrated at the foot of the city wall and the army of bandits in the rear were cut off, and the charge of the Jihu battalion made the thieves unable to support the front line for a while, which won precious time for the defenders on the city wall.

Gao Yanzong just swung his knife to kill a thief, and then inertia Gao Yanzong turned around and took a step forward, holding the Guan Wang knife to stop the waist and slash forward, a thief was cut off at both ends on the spot, and the upper body flew out screaming.

The thieves who had been flocking to the city like a tidal wave slowly slowed down their ascent to the city from the city gate to the north, and a sergeant pointed outside the city and shouted:

"Hou Ye Wei rushed away from the thieves!"

When Gao Yanzong heard this, he slashed away a thief in front of him, climbed up the female wall on the edge of the city and looked out, and saw Lan Ziyi and the three thousand Tiger Battalion Iron Cavalry plowing out the time that the defenders urgently needed in the thief formation.

Gao Yanzong turned around and shouted:

"Qiu Wenruo's turn is you!"

Qiu Wenruo had piled up barrels of gunpowder on the city wall at this time, and the explosion at the city head just now blew Qiu Wenruo's scalp apart, leaving blood along the bridge of his nose, which had solidified into a terrifying blood belt at this time.

But at this time, if Qiu Wen is not interested in caring about these things,

The defenders mobilized by Gao Yanzong were desperately protecting the people led by Qiu Wenruo and the gunpowder he had brought to the city wall, and after hearing the order, these soldiers immediately escorted Qiu Wenruo to the outside of the city wall.

After the people moved the gunpowder to its position, Qiu Wenruo commanded:

"According to what I just instructed, bring up the powder keg that was inserted with the twist just now."

Then Qiu Wenruo said to Gao Yanzong:

"Gao County Order, clear the way to the soil slope."

When Gao Yanzong heard this, he immediately stood on the female wall, cut off a thief who climbed down the dirt slope in front of him, and then ordered in a loud voice:

"Brothers, open the way for Mr. Wenruo!"

Hearing this, the defenders who were fighting bloody battles in front of each dirt slope suddenly rose up and cut down the thieves who were about to enter the city on the dirt slope.

The thieves who had been attacking for a long time were already a little tired, and after Lan Ziyi led the cavalry out of the city to charge, these thieves who were cut off under the city wall looked back in horror at the bloody ravines that were rushed out behind them, and there were no reinforcements to keep up, and there was a fierce counterattack on the city, and they all had a hopeless feeling of attacking the city.

After opening the passage to the dirt slope for Qiu Wenruo, Gao Yanzong asked:

"Qiu Wenruo, what are you going to do?"

Qiu Wenruo obviously didn't have time to answer Gao Yanzong's question, so he explained his thoughts to Gao Yanzong with practical actions.

Qiu Wenruo ordered the men and sergeants at the head of the city to put the powder kegs they had just prepared on the head of the city, and after lighting the fuse, kicking the gunpowder barrels down the dirt slope one by one.

Gao Yanzong understood what Gao Yanzong was doing, and loudly ordered the defenders to lie down, be careful of accidental injuries, and quickly jump back to the city wall.

The thieves who rushed to the city on the dirt slope saw the ignited powder keg rolling towards them, and they turned around and ran away in shock, and the thieves under the city could not see what was happening at the head of the city, and they were still drinking the thieves who retreated from the city.

By the time these thieves understood that it was too late to roll down the powder keg in the city, the lit barrel rolled into the crowd of thieves, and the gunpowder in the barrel was ignited after the fuse was burned, and the smoke rolled up under the loud sound that shook the sky, and the flesh and blood rushed to the sky, and the severed limbs and arms were mixed with the screams of the thieves to form a blood rain that fell to the earth, and the thieves who were still swarming to the city just now turned into minced meat in an instant, and the remaining thieves were either seriously injured or burned to the point of not being human, and they stayed in place and trembled, and even forgot to cry.

The huge tremor shook the city walls, and when the shaking passed, Gao Yanzong raised his head and asked:

"Qiu Wenruo, don't blow up the city."

Where can Qiu Wenruo care about these nonsense, he has already rolled up his sleeves high, led the people to carry explosives, rushed down the various dirt slopes with a shovel and pickaxe in his hand, and shouted to Gao Yanzong:

"Gao County Order, let your people protect us!"

Gao Yanzong was not ambiguous, and immediately ordered the defenders on the city wall, picked up the big shield spear, and rushed to the front of the people to form a shield wall.

The thieves on the dirt slope have been blown up, and the large array of thieves in the rear is still in chaos, unable to catch up in time, and the people who rushed down the dirt slopes began to dig hard after coming to the designated place arranged by Qiu Wenruo, and the time is less than a moment for the defenders.

When the explosion occurred on the side of the city wall, Lan Ziyi had already led the team to charge to the north of the city wall, and the violent explosion without any warning jumped Lan Ziyi and their cavalry, and the flying dirt and flesh even splashed on Lan Ziyi's body.

The war horse ran fast after being frightened, but Lan Ziyi knew that now was not the time to let the horse exhaust all his strength.

He glanced at the busy defenders rushing down the dirt slope on the rampart, and commanded in a loud voice:

"The armies obey orders! Slow down, the back team is the front team, turn around and charge! ”

So the soldiers slowed down in the shortest distance, turned their horses, adjusted before the thieves besieging the northern wall came to their aid, and accelerated their charge again.

During the charge just now, many of the long lances of the rear team were left in the urn city, and some were thrown on the way to the charge, at this time, the head of the horse was turned, and the Jihu battalion of three thousand people concentrated all the remaining long lances to the forward, and the rapid impact unfolded again, and the thieves who had just caught up from behind the thieves and tried to retake the slope under the city wall were rushed by Lan Ziyi, and the flesh mill was staged again, and this time the thieves were worse organized than just now, and the long-term and high-intensity attack was a nightmare for the defenders, and it was even more destructive for the attackers. The thieves have begun to waver,

Seeing that the bandit formation was targeted to replenish the spearmen to the front line, Lan Ziyi ordered the rear team of the Jihu battalion to shoot at these bandit spearmen, and they must not be allowed to block the way of the cavalry.

All the slopes in the northern section of the western city wall were being excavated hard, and without the interference of the thieves, the project progressed rapidly, and after digging out countless corpses, the gunpowder was finally buried in the location that Qiu Wenruo had predetermined. After all the slopes were buried, Gao Yanzong led the defenders to cover the people's retreat to the city wall, and sprinkled gunpowder all the way as a lead.

After everyone returned to the city wall, Qiu Wenruo waved his hand and ordered

"Ignition!"
