On the small dirt mountain, under the sunset and dusk, the sound of gunfire, shouts of killing and the screams of people dying filled the sky and the earth, making the sunset red in the sky even more stained with a layer of blood.

Although the officers and soldiers under He Fang's subordinates also made unimaginable resistance, showing even far more tenacity than they expected, but under the repeated three strong attacks of the Xingtian army, they were still broken up the mountain by the Xingtian army.

The firecrackers and archers of the Xingtian Army played an irreplaceable role this time, they climbed the mountain in advance and the officers and soldiers on the mountain to shoot, killing and wounding a large number of officers and archers, and the dense platoon of guns fired, so that the officers and archers fell down one after another behind the simple rejection of horses or deer barricades, although they also made a desperate resistance, but in the face of rows of salvos of bird guns and arrows shot by crossbowmen, they were still swept away.

And those nine-headed birds also played a great role, although it was difficult to load, the firing speed was far less than the bird gun, but the range and power were greatly more than the bird gun, and each time the iron sand was loaded, a dozen was a piece, so that the official archers on the mountain faced them, almost no power to fight back, plus most of the archers were not armored, and they would easily be hit by the iron sand that was not too powerful and fell to the ground with blood.

Of course, the firecrackers and archers of the Xingtian Army also did not fight easily, they had to get close to shoot at the officers and soldiers on the official army's mountain, and the counterattack of the officers and soldiers caused a large number of arrows to fall down, so that many people were injured by arrows, and a small number of firecrackers of the official army also used bird guns, and shot at the Xingtian Army at a distance of fifty paces, and also killed and wounded more than a dozen firecrackers or archers.

On the part of the officers and soldiers, there were also five tiger squat cannons, which opened fire several times, causing great casualties to the Xingtian army, and the charging team was often swept away by them, and the wounded were snatched down the mountain like a stream, and handed over to the medical staff for first aid at the bottom of the mountain.

Luo Li once again showed his brave side, leading more than 80 soldiers under his command to launch a continuous onslaught on the top of the mountain, and was repelled twice by the official army in succession, Luo Li was also hit by the three-eyed gun of the official army, and suffered multiple arrow wounds, but he still shouted and fought fiercely, and rushed to the top of the mountain for the third time with his subordinates, because the casualties under his command were too heavy, so that Xiao Tianjian had to add a group of Li Xuanzhu's subordinates to Luo Li to add thirty.

Yan Chongxi tried to lead his troops to replace Luo Li twice, but Luo Li did not agree, and in desperation, Yan Chongxi had to lead his troops to detour to the side of Tushan and launched a strong attack, which attracted a lot of attention from the officers and soldiers, and Xiao Tianjian, who was eager to take down this army before dark, sent the new battalion to the right side of Tushan and launched a feint, which attracted a lot of attention from the officers and soldiers under He Fang's command, so that Luo Li was able to attack the top of the mountain in the third charge.

Luo Li kicked down a simple rejection horse like a mad tiger, flew into a group of officers and soldiers gathered behind the rejection horse, waved the big knife, cut down three officers and soldiers one after another like a splash of wind, and shocked the remaining officers and soldiers to retreat, more than a dozen soldiers behind him took advantage of the situation to lift away the rejection horse, and immediately advanced to the enemy formation on the top of the mountain like a wall, and Luo Li was already exhausted, reflexively retreated into the formation, the spearman cooperated with the knife player, discarded the rattan card in his hand, and repeatedly stabbed with the gun in both hands, The officers and soldiers who tried to block the road were stabbed in front of him, like a heavy hammer, repeatedly impacting the officers and soldiers who were crowded together, and every time he stabbed, he had to stab down several officers and soldiers, covering the follow-up soldiers who rushed up the mountain, and stood with them, forming a more dense gun array, and began to sweep away the officers and soldiers who resisted on the mountain.

He Fang was wearing heavy armor and led his subordinates to resist desperately, but in the face of Luo Li's attack, which was in full swing into the mad tiger, the front was broken by the Xingtian Army one by one, and finally all of them withdrew to the top of the mountain, and even a few tiger squat cannons placed in front of the formation fell into the hands of the Xingtian Army, making their firepower for counterattack even more exhausted.

When they retreated to the top of the mountain, the morale of the officers and soldiers had fallen to the bottom, and they could no longer organize an effective counterattack force, so they could only watch as the two bandit armies split into two ways and attack the top of the mountain step by step.

Feng Gouzi was bare-eyed, with more than a dozen gunners, carrying the tiger squat cannon and accompanying Luo Li to a distance of only more than thirty steps from the top of the mountain, and erected the three tiger squat cannons on the ground.

The whole mountain top seems to have become a hell on earth, the corpses of the dead soldiers on both sides are scattered all over the hillside, the stumps and broken arms are thrown everywhere, the air is filled with a rich smell of blood, which makes people feel sick, and the wounded people lie on the ground wailing miserably, begging for help, and scolding angrily.

The shouting of killing was even more earth-shattering, filling everyone's ears, He Fang staggered and staggered with his long steel knife, his face was covered with blood, his helmet didn't know where it fell at this time, and the wrapped bun had already broken up and stood in the center of the team, and his iron armor hung scattered on his body, covered with knife marks and broken arrows, and his ribs were pierced by the spear of the Xingtian Army, cutting a long wound, and the blood was still trickling outward.

His eyes were full of despair, he thought that with his troops, even if he couldn't rush out, it was estimated that there would be no problem to hold this dirt mountain and support it until it was dark, but he didn't expect that the thief army would be so fierce and abnormal, and he rushed up the dirt mountain without fear of death, and the firepower of the place made him even more chilled, and his archers were not too few, but in the face of the opponent's bird salvo, they often fell in a row, so that they were quickly exhausted and lost the ability to resist, He had to be squeezed by the thief army and retreated step by step towards the top of the mountain, and only now did he understand why Huang Qiang was defeated so badly, this thief army far exceeded all their expectations, not only treacherous and abnormal, but also showed extremely strong combat effectiveness.

So much so that the officers and soldiers who made them proud on weekdays were as weak as lambs to be slaughtered in front of them, and he was completely desperate when he saw that the night had begun to shroud the land like the bottom of a pot, and the afterglow of the setting sun struggled to leave the last touch of red in the western sky.

The battle has reached this level, he knows that his team of men and horses has been completely finished, and it is absolutely impossible to support this night, looking at the two thieves who are getting closer and closer and the soldiers under his command who are retreating one by one, he suddenly his knees are weak, he grabbed the knife and knelt on the ground on one knee, hung his head and grasped the soil on the ground with one hand in pain, and shouted: "Uncle! My nephew is incompetent! ……”

"Mr. Chi! You're going to hold on! Two of his own soldiers, also covered in blood, threw themselves under his armpits and cried at him.

He Fang looked up at the two pro-soldiers, shook his head and said, "The general trend has gone, the general trend has gone!" Let's go! Flee now from the back mountains into the forest, escape as far as possible, find my uncle, and tell him that I have not embarrassed him! Please avenge me, uncle! ”

These two pro-soldiers had a pretty good relationship with He Fang, and after listening to his words, they shouted: "No! Adults don't die! Even if we fight to the death, we must protect the adults from this place! Let's go! Let the little one carry you on their backs! ”

He Fang struggled to strove the blade of the knife and stood up, raised his hand to shake off the two pro-soldiers, and roared: "Get out of here!" If you don't leave at this time, you can't leave again! If I can't leave, you won't have to die with me! Let's go! ”

Many officers and soldiers surrounding him couldn't help but cry bitterly, clenched their swords and guns one after another, and shouted with red eyes: "I can't wait to leave!" The general treats me like a brother, even if I die, we will die together! ”

But there are still a few people like this, many auxiliary soldiers who have little combat effectiveness, when they saw that the thief army had attacked the top of the mountain, they were already frightened, and they lost their hands and fled towards the back of the mountain, so that the few officers and soldiers who were already left were empty, and more and more people began to join the ranks of fleeing, and the mountains and fields fled to the mountains and forests under the cover of dark night.

At this time, a group of troops of the Xingtian Army finally climbed to the top of the mountain, lit torches, and lit up the top of the mountain, and only the remaining dozens of officers and soldiers were gradually firmly surrounded by them in the middle.

He Fang looked at the thieves who came up around, and suddenly smiled bitterly, when he threw away the long knife in his hand, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the waist knife from his waist, raised his hand and put it on his shoulder, and planned to wipe his neck and kill himself, but immediately several officers and soldiers rushed up and grabbed his arm and snatched his waist knife down.

He Fang failed to commit suicide, and his strength was suddenly exhausted, and his legs fell down on his back as soon as he was weak......

The surrounding Xingtian army members shouted loudly: "Those who descend will not be killed...... Drop your weapons, and those who descend will not kill ......"

These remnants of the officers and soldiers looked desperately at the thieves who came up around them, and saw that more and more thieves gathered around them, aiming the black hole at them, the sharp spear tips and arrows, so they didn't know who got up, and when they dropped the weapons in their hands, then more people fell shoulders, slowly let go of their hands, and threw the weapons in their hands on the ground.

But the battle was over and was completely over, the mountains and forests were full of torches and fierce fighting sounds, after the Xingtian army captured the mountain, began to search for those rout soldiers in all directions, some of the rout soldiers saw that they could not escape, so they simply lost their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender, in order to save a life, one by one the soldiers who ran away began to be taken out of the mountains and forests, and were held together.

This situation was not until the end of the day, when it quieted down, and groups of tired soldiers of the Xingtian Army came out of the mountains and forests, more or less escorted some prisoners, and returned to the camp at the bottom of the mountain.
