At the moment of the enemy, the panicked Xuanwei soldiers heard such a shout, and they didn't care whether it was true or not, and raised their guns and smashed them on the top of the enemy's head.

After struggling to shoot down, the enemy's head was bleeding and he fell to the ground limply.

"The door of life is overhead, hit the top of the head!" After the verification, the fighting soldiers reminded loudly and excitedly.

Finding the dead hole, the situation of the melee was reversed in an instant, the enemy was hit on the head by spears one after another, and more than 200 people who were trapped in the encirclement were stoned to death on the spot in a moment.

When the enemy outside the valley was completely eliminated, the Xuanwei army immediately regrouped and blocked the valley mouth again.

"Collect firewood and branches, the fire will not be extinguished, and the valley mouth will be blocked!"

Zhao An gave an order, and the first battalion of the Xuanwei army did this, and the other four battalions were waiting outside the valley.

The enemy army outside the valley was destroyed, and the Xuanwei army in the valley also reached the point of life and death.

"Brothers, hold on a little longer!" Xue Wang watched the brothers around him fall one by one, his heart was like a knife, and he slammed his gun at the head of the enemy who rushed over.

In the face of dozens of times the enemy who was difficult to be injured by swords and guns, the Xuanwei army relied on countless horse rejection piles in the valley, and occupied and retreated, delaying the enemy's marching speed, and wanted to gather them in the valley, but the disparity in the number of the two sides was huge, the enemy outflanked from both sides, and the Xuanwei army suffered serious losses, and after retreating a distance of 100 zhang, hundreds of people were killed and wounded.

Two miles behind him is the exit of the valley, but now they have not received the order to retreat, so they can only continue to hold on, and their task will be completed when all the enemies chase into the valley, so even if they fight out the five hundred people, they must not retreat in advance.

Seeing that the enemy climbed over the horse rejection pile to catch up, Xue Wang knocked down an enemy with one shot, and shouted: "Retreat again!" ”

As soon as everyone heard the order, they stopped entanglement, and quickly retreated to the next row of horse rejection stakes, blocked the gap, and continued to block.

The enemy crossed the obstacles such as the horse rejection stake and poured in like a tide, and the number of enemies that the Xuanwei army had to face directly doubled.

Poke does not hurt, stab does not hurt, the spear can only be used like a stick, the enemy naturally knows how to dodge, through the horse stake, short combat, the Xuanwei army is difficult to hurt the enemy in the slightest, but the enemy's spears and long knives make it difficult for the Xuanwei army to resist.

Seeing that the defense line could not be held again, and several brothers were killed by the enemy who had climbed over the obstacles, Xue Wang smashed back an enemy with a long knife in front of him with a shot, and shouted: "Retreat again!" ”

After receiving the order, the Xuanwei army did not dare to fight, quickly retreated, and after crossing the defense line, immediately raised the horse rejection stake on the side to block the defense line, and fought the enemy through obstacles such as the horse rejection stake.

After leaving a few corpses behind, Xue Wang had to order the Xuanwei army to continue to retreat and continue to maneuver.

There are fewer and fewer brothers around him, and there are more and more enemies on the opposite side.

"Brothers, hold on a little longer!" Looking at his tired and injured brother, Xue Wang shouted hoarsely.

"Big brother, let's go, if we don't leave, we'll all die here!" One of the captains, whose arms were bleeding, fought hard to knock the enemy to the ground, and when he heard Xue Wang's voice, he immediately shouted.

"We are the Great Song Xuanwei Army, how can we be afraid of such a small country! If you don't have an order, you can't die back! Xue Wang hoarsely roared in his throat.

Many brothers fell, and the retreat order of Yang Jianjun still did not come, and it seemed that they could only fight to the death.

The enemy surrounded him, and the Xuanwei army withdrew again, dragging his tired body through the horse rejection stakes and other objects, and continued to deal with the enemy, delaying the enemy's rapid advance.

Less than a mile away from the valley behind him, how long can he stop the enemy, Xue Wang didn't know, his strength was almost exhausted, he was holding on with his tenacious will, and the living Xuanwei Army brothers should be the same, they were too tired to hear what was being shouted around them, and they couldn't think about anything, watching the people around them retreat, they also retreated, in order to survive, they could only mechanically wave the spear in their hands, and it wouldn't be long before they would all die in the valley.

Retreat again and again, only sixty or seventy zhang away from the valley mouth, and then retreat twice, fifty zhang from the valley mouth is the limit of retreat, and you can no longer retreat, you can only fight to the death there, once you retreat, the enemy will follow out of the valley, such a big sacrifice will be in vain.

Xue Wang glanced back, and his consciousness began to gradually blur.

"Command! Big brother, the order is here! Suddenly, the excited shouts around him woke Xue Wang from his exhaustion and stupor.

He looked up at the sky, only to see that the brilliant fireworks had just bloomed and had not yet begun to dissipate, and his heart suddenly felt a thrill, and his body seemed to give birth to infinite energy.

I only heard him shout: "Brothers, the mission is complete, let's go!" "Swing your gun to repel the enemy, turn around and go.

"Let's go, you can withdraw!"

"Gone!"

The living Xuanwei Army brothers shouted loudly, reminding each other and waking up those who were unconscious.

The Xuanwei army began to retreat, and after passing through one line of defense, they sealed each line by the way.

Xue Wang didn't look back, and rushed straight to the valley with his brothers.

In an instant, the Xuanwei army left the enemy seven or eight zhang behind, and after they approached the valley mouth twenty zhang, they suddenly heard a violent explosion behind them, but no one turned back.

When they reached a distance of about ten zhang from the valley mouth, Xue Wang and his brothers quickly threw the dead branches and weeds piled up on both sides of the path in the middle of the road, and paved them four or five zhang away in the direction of the valley mouth.

After the last errand was done, Xue Wang shouted: "Brothers, let's go!" ”

The remaining more than 300 people, with the last of their strength, rushed straight out of the valley.

As soon as they left, countless fiery thunderbolts flew down from the ridges and slopes on both sides, and landed on the paths and forests in the valley.

Then the pursuing enemy, frightened by the thunderbolts falling from the sky, failed to catch up with the retreating Xuanwei army, and when they found that the thunderbolts could not hurt them, they began to pursue again, chasing to the valley mouth, but they were blocked by a wall of fire, they could not cross the wall of fire, they could only wait for the fire to be extinguished in the explosion and harassment of the thunderbolts.

But how could an ambush that was prepared quietly allow the fire to be easily extinguished?

Xue Wang and the others rushed out of the valley, and saw a large army waiting outside the valley.

This army was naturally the army of the king of Srivijaya himself, a full 5,000 people, and the water around the valley could not be drained. And the valley mouth is lined with branches and firewood, like two hills.

As soon as they saw the tired Great Song army coming out, the army surrounding Taniguchi quickly let go of a small gap, and Xue Wang and the others gritted their teeth and quickly crossed the path they let out.

After the Great Song army passed, the king gave an order, and two teams of soldiers quickly stepped forward to pick up the branches and firewood at the mouth of the valley and ran towards the valley.

The wall of fire at the mouth of the valley cannot be extinguished within an hour, this is what the Great Song Prison Army asked them to sit on, for the sake of his own power, he must do it!

Looking into the valley from the ridge, the valley was blocked by a wall of fire at each end, and there were fireworks everywhere in the valley, although not as strong as the valley mouth, but it also made the enemies in the valley scramble and avoid the fire.

"My lord, the stone thrower is ready to drop bombs." A commander of the Xuanwei military camp reported closely.

Yang Congyi looked at the more than 30,000 enemies gathered in the valley more than three miles wide and nearly ten miles long, many of them were in the valley forest, only a few stood in the middle of the road under the scorching sun, and when he heard the report, he immediately issued an order: "Throw all the ignition materials down!" Be sure to set the whole valley on fire! ”

"Good. Mission completion guaranteed! The battalion commander took the order and left.

After a short time, I saw huge fireballs flying out from the ridges on both sides, flying over a distance of one or two miles, drawing a beautiful arc, and falling into the jungle in the valley.

Four stone throwers, two on each side, huge fireballs flew out one after another, evenly covering the ten-mile-long valley.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the valley was blazing, and in a few moments, the fire rose into the sky under the scorching sun, and the whole valley was shrouded in fire and smoke.

The crackling and burning of the jungle was mixed with a terrible cry.

Seeing the fire spreading to the hillside, fearing that it would cause a fire, Yang Congyi immediately ordered a retreat.

Two divisions, one of the main forces of the Xuanwei Army withdrew to the valley where General Zhao was stationed, and the other reserve army withdrew to the place guarded by the king of Srivijaya under the personal leadership of Yang Congyi.

Outside the valley where the Xuanwei army was stationed, listening to the screams coming from the valley, everyone held guns and waited solemnly.

Zhao An's gun stood at the forefront of the Xuanwei army, his face was red, the wall of fire had not weakened in the slightest, he was wearing armor, and he was roasting under the scorching sun, such an experience would probably not be encountered again in this life.

"Retreat three hundred steps back and return to the hillside to line up the arrow formation, the enemy may choose to charge the formation!"

Listening to the increasingly tragic cries, Zhao An had a bad premonition, and immediately ordered the large army to retreat to the hillside, and arranged an arrow array of about a mile on the left and right.

"General, the enemy is invulnerable, I'm afraid it's useless for us to line up with arrows, once the enemy rushes out, bows and arrows can't be stopped, it's better to form a spear formation." The battalion commander beside him suddenly proposed.

Zhao An said: "As long as they come out through the wall of fire, they will not be able to escape the arrow array." ”

"How so? Not so long ago, even a gun couldn't pierce them, and now a bow and arrow will do? "The battalion commander is very puzzled, this wall of fire has magic?

"You'll find out later." Zhao An looked at the valley where smoke was rising to the sky, none of the 30,000 people could leave today.

When the battalion commander saw that the general was selling off, he didn't want to tell him directly, so he didn't continue to ask.

The Xuanwei Army, who was responsible for adding firewood to the fire, under Zhao An's instruction, thickened the original fire wall that was more than one zhang thick to more than three zhang, so that they couldn't keep a bead of sweat on their roasted faces.

The flames in the wall of fire were a foot high, and the flames jumped and danced, and there seemed to be spirits in them.

A sergeant stood outside the wall of fire with firewood, and was listening to the crying in the valley, when he suddenly saw a man on fire rushing out of the wall of fire, and he was so frightened that he threw away the firewood in his hand and turned around and ran, shouting in his mouth: "Ghost! ”

The Xuanwei army in front of the wall of fire almost all stared at the wall of fire, and when they saw a person rushing out of the wall of fire, they were immediately startled, and they avoided it to both sides and made way for it.

"Prepare for the arrow array!" Seeing the enemy rushing out of the wall of fire, Zhao An immediately ordered.

Everyone drew their bows and was ready to shoot, but when they saw the man who rushed out of the wall of fire, just a few steps away from the wall of fire, he fell to the ground, struggled a few times, and then did not move again, and died directly.
