The hunting army flag flew in the valley, and the thunderous war drums on both sides shook the heavens and the earth, and in this slaughter, the winter wind was even more cold, blowing Li Zicheng's arrow robe, and also blowing the corners of Lu Shi's clothes, and the two snow-bright swords shone with an unyielding cold light in the miserable white sunlight. Under the attention of tens of thousands of people, a duel that will determine the course of history is about to begin.

King Chuang vs. King Chuang, this is the first real meeting between the two, and it may also be the last time they face each other, this decisive battle will completely change the direction of history.

Suddenly, at the critical moment of the imminent outbreak of the ancient and modern war, a unique remote alarm scream from Lu Shi's army broke through the air, overwhelmed the roar of war drums, and pierced everyone's ears.

This was the alarm issued by the sergeant in charge of patrolling the battlefield in the distance of the Lu Shichuang Army, which was poignant and urgent. - Enemy attack.

Lu Shi was shocked when he heard this, and secretly screamed that it was not good. At this time, his army had been fighting with Li Zicheng for a morning, and the brothers were already sleepy, and it was the weakest time, if the enemy attacked, it would be a disaster.

Li Zicheng was overjoyed when he heard this.

Just when he was fighting the trapped beast, there was an alarm of an enemy attack behind the thief Lu Shi, really giving himself a great opportunity, could it be that a fellow Daoist came to the rescue? At this time, who else will come to the rescue of him? But no matter who it is, at this critical time, Lu Shi's army was attacked by the enemy, and God really helped me.

Regardless of the agreement, Lu Shi galloped back to the formation with a circle of war horses, and eagerly asked Chunlan who was pressing the formation: "What's the matter?" Without waiting for Chunlan and the others to answer, Lu Shi said suspiciously: "Could it be that there are villagers who take advantage of the fire to rob?" Or is there a pole to come to the rescue of Li Zicheng? ”

Chunlan was also at a loss, after all, Ming Di, who called the police, was far away on the other side of the mountain, and there was no one who had come to report it in person, so it was not easy to answer Lu Shi's inquiry.

As the sound of the chirping became closer and closer, a faint shout of killing began to come from behind the mountain, and the shouting of killing got closer and closer, and finally it was clearly audible.

It's so fast.

At this time, Lu Shichuang's army was in the most disadvantageous position.

Just fought with Li Zicheng, almost all the brothers entered the valley, in the distance only a few dozen sergeant brothers on patrol, on the ridge, there are only less than a thousand firearms battalions and three hundred Huzun garrisoned, if the enemy is strong, it only takes a moment to attack the ridge, at that time, the situation will be reversed, and Lu Shichuang's army, which is in the same geographical location as Li Zicheng at the beginning, will become a turtle in the urn, at the mercy of others.

"Quick, ignore Li Zicheng, go all out to seize the ridge line, cooperate with the firearms battalion brothers, and repel the incoming enemy." This is a top priority, and there is no need for hesitation. Lu Shi looked at Li Zicheng, who was full of ecstasy, and stomped his feet with hatred.

can only temporarily give up the opportunity to strangle Li Zicheng and go all out to meet the attacking enemy. I don't know when I will have such a chance again.

Da Lang was unwilling to greet the somewhat chaotic brother, urging the war horse to rush up the ridge.

However, everything was still half a step late, just when Da Lang led the team to launch a charge, at the sight, the firearms battalion brothers on the ridge ridge line, after hurriedly turning the muzzle of the guns, sparsely pulling dozens of cannon shots, there were countless brown armor on the mountain, they were well-equipped and fearless of death, especially under the absolute numerical superiority, in the blink of an eye, they drowned the thousand firearms battalion brothers.

The brothers of the firearms battalion have always been on the ridge, and when the battle first began, it was when they showed their skills, but as the two armies fought each other, the brothers of the firearms battalion became spectators.

In accordance with the regulations, the barrel of the cannon was emptied, because he was afraid that in case of a misfire, he would accidentally injure his brother who was fighting.

However, they did not go down the ridge to join the attack on the remnants of Li Zicheng, but stood on the ridge, holding the weapons issued to them, and guarded the perimeter of the battlefield. Their task is to guard against the catch of fish.

However, at this time, the elbows and armpits were transformed, and there were no fish that slipped through the net on the battlefield, but behind them, there was an alarm of an enemy attack, sharp and urgent.

Captain Zhang was leading the team to guard the battlefield, suddenly heard Ming Di, couldn't help but be shocked, when he turned around to observe, Ming Di had already flown up not far away, at this time, he had seen countless vigorous brown figures in the forest not far away. And behind them, followed by other villagers in various colors, and behind them, there were countless Ming troops in fiery red battle jackets.

The brown figure was all too familiar, it was their sworn enemy, Zhang Yuan's Xiangyong.

"It's the official army, it's the thief." Captain Zhang was shocked. Because he deeply knows that at this juncture, it is terrible for the official army to appear behind him, especially Zhang Yuanxiangyong, who has the strongest combat effectiveness, to appear behind him, which is simply a disaster.

Zhang Yuan is here, then, He Renlong will not be far away, what about Hong Chengchou?

Captain Zhang's heart slowly sank into the ice cellar.

Looking at the brothers of the 1,000 firearms battalion who began to become flustered, Captain Zhang immediately calmed down, at this time, here, he is the supreme commander, according to the regulations of the army, in the battle, no matter what kind of troops, the highest military rank must be the leader. At this time, Captain Zhang must take on the command responsibility here to protect the retreat of the Chuang brothers and welcome the return of King Chuang.

"Don't panic, everyone, listen to my command." Captain Zhang shouted loudly.

Although all the brothers panicked, when they heard the captain's order, they immediately habitually began to carry out the operation according to the military order.

"The loader reloads one shot and fires freely."

All the loaders ignored the approaching enemy, turned a deaf ear to the earth-shattering shouts of kill, and according to the military orders, mechanically but skillfully loaded the Tiger Venerable.

"After a cannon, pick up the sword and shield, and spread out a defensive formation in the mountains to block the charge of the officers and soldiers." Captain Zhang ordered again. "We must protect the way out for King Chuang." Clenching the saber in his hand, Captain Zhang roared firmly. A thousand brothers in the firearms battalion who have not gone through the battle formation and only train briefly in peacetime, can they really protect the retreat for King Chuang in the face of the officers and troops who come from all over the mountains?

The answer is simple, no. But even if you can't, you have to fight hard to buy time for King Chuang's support, even if it's for a moment.

However, everything was too sudden, everything was too late, only a few dozen Huzun had time to fire cannons, and when dozens of inaccurate shells flew into the enemy formation, they were either blocked by the ancient trees in the forest, or they lost their target, even if they penetrated into the enemy group, but a dozen shells, compared to tens of thousands of enemy troops, did not even stir up a wave, let alone block the delayed enemy.

Before the brothers of the firearms battalion could form a battle formation, the enemy rushed up the hill and immediately drowned the firearms battalion brothers, who had only one thousand.

Although the brothers of the firearms battalion did not have time to reload and open the cannons again, and they did not have time to arrange the formation, all the people grabbed the weapons around them and started a selfless fight with the enemy, because they knew that if they retreated and lost the commanding heights on this battlefield, then they would put the brothers in the valley, especially King Chuang, in a place of no return, for the sake of King Chuang.

"For the king behind him, kill it." Captain Zhang's eyes were red, and he cut down the first few Zhang Jiayong, who was only distracted, and was stabbed into his body by countless knives and guns in a blink of an eye, and it was only when he was on the verge of death that he had the opportunity to observe the battlefield.

It's over, everything is over, there are too many enemies, too few of his own personnel, just a blink of an eye, his brothers in the 1,000 firearms battalion, there are only less than a hundred people left to resist, behind them, there are rows of tiger venerables protected by instinct.

Looking at the cold steel tiger venerable of those who were his most beloved guys, Captain Zhang was full of nostalgia and pride.

Yes, it is all poured with the best steel produced in the base, light and precise, compared to the poor guys made by those fools in the imperial court, it is really an earth, a heaven, I think that at the beginning, I captured a broken tiger zun of the imperial court, so that my baby can't wait to sleep in his arms, and later, after having the tiger zun produced by the base area, in the first battle of Weinan, he captured hundreds of tigers in the official army, but those guys can't get into their own eyes at all, and they don't even bother to take their hands, just kick and kick, Then he snorted and proudly said to his brothers: "Take these rags and train them for the militia on the border." Then he left without looking.

What a pride that is, but it's a pity that now I can no longer command them to go into battle to kill the enemy, and follow King Chuang to lay down a peaceful and prosperous life for the people's fathers and elders.

Just when his will was gradually blurred, Captain Zhang, his heart suddenly cold, now, on the position, there are still three hundred tiger venerables, and the stacks of gunpowder shells, although it is a sharp weapon for the army, but once it falls into the hands of the enemy, it will be a disaster for the brothers of the army.

Look at his most beloved guy, he is about to become a sharp weapon to attack King Chuang, Captain Zhang was in a hurry, desperately took his last breath, and yelled at the more than 100 brothers who were still guarding the ridge: "Explosives-"

This shout woke up those firearms battalion brothers who were still desperately trying to protect their beloved Tiger Venerable, yes, looking at the enemies all over the mountains and looking at their lonely self, and bombing artillery became their most urgent task. Although they know that now they have no way to live, it is also a kind of luck to be able to ascend to heaven with their beloved.

The deputy captain of the firearms battalion shouted: "Brothers, protect me." Then he rushed to the powder pile, grabbed a torch, and reached for the piled powder keg.

"Brother, wait." A voice suddenly sounded anxiously.

When he turned around, he saw a leader of Zhang Jiayong, shouting at him with a blank face.

Seeing that the deputy team was stunned, the leader immediately shouted: "Don't blow up the cannon, as long as you surrender, I will report to my brother, give you ten thousand taels of silver, and reward you with a thousand official bodies." ”

"Don't think about it." The vice-captain replied firmly, and continued to press the torch towards the powder keg.

"Don't, if you blow up the cannon, you won't be able to live again." The leader screamed and persuaded.

The torch paused at the side of the powder keg.

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, the leader shouted again with a cold sweat on his face: "As long as you surrender, I ask my brother to give you a thousand official bodies and ten thousand taels of gold." ”

Thousands of official bodies, that can completely glorify the ancestors, ten thousand taels of gold can completely make the three generations of children and grandchildren no longer starve, such conditions make all the surrounding villagers envious.

"Don't think about it." The vice-captain said word by word again, and then, with a steady hand, poked the torch firmly into the pile of gunpowder.
