Taihang Mountain, located between Shanxi and the North China Plain, is the loess high slope in the west and the Huanghuaihai Plain in the east. The mountainous area is cut by the Juma River, Hutuo River, Zhanghe River, Qin River, Dan River, etc., and there are many horizontal valleys, which are called 'paths' locally, and are called 'Taihang Eight Paths' in ancient times.

In the late autumn of the fifth year of Suzong in Great Xia, since two months ago, the Great Khan of Yan was wounded by Gan Feng's flying spear in Nanguan, Sichuan Town, and five days later Helian Kuo died of his injuries, and the three-way army of Yan quickly retreated northward, most of the foreign troops in the Yan army returned to the grassland desert, and only a small number of Xianbei people were left within the Great Wall to maintain the place, and the defense north of the Yangtze River of Yan was guarded by millions of Han troops.

The land of the Central Plains is burning with war. The rebels north of the Yangtze River took the opportunity to attack one after another, attacking the city and plundering the land, and the northwest city was just a small corner of the vast world. But no matter how small the world is, the conflicts and struggles between people are as fierce and cruel as ever.

It was already dark, and the siege battle was still going on, and the 80,000 troops led by Qin Fenglu, the son of Cui Yan, the former prime minister of Great Xia, pacified Cui Jiqiu, and flocked to the city wall like ants, the sound of shouting and the blood of the battle covered everything. In the past two months, the walls of this city have been breached three times. The first time was that Jumu Banner retreated north by the army of Yan State, and Jumu Banner quickly went down the mountain to capture Lincheng, and the second time was that the Han army of Yan State killed and regained the dominance of the city from Jumu Banner, and the third time Jumu Banner arrived with reinforcements in Taihang, and after more than ten days of attacking regardless of day, in the case of paying huge casualties, he once again occupied the city. And now, it was Fang Long, the master of the Giant Wood Banner, who led the last 3,000 sect members to retreat the siege teams that poured up again and again.

Rolling wood, thunder stones were thrown down from the city wall, the fire oil was ignited in the pouring, and a large area of flames was lit on the side of the city wall, and the coerced Han army brandished swords and guns and poured into the city wall, dense military formation. Further behind, the trebuchets of the Warlord armed with long knives kept throwing stones out, and large areas of the military camp stretched out. On the hill outside the tree of this military camp, there is the camp of hundreds of Yan State Xi people's supervision army, this time the Yan State army retreated north, leaving only 15,000 grassland tribes under the command of Xiao Halu in the entire northwest, and the command center was located in Chang'an. In the process of sweeping the rebel army in Taihang Mountain, it was basically the Han army that surrendered to Cheng was leading.

It seems to be carrying the power of Huanghuang Tianwei, which is the main force of more than 10,000 people, crisscrossing the land of several provinces in the northwest of the Central Plains, commanding millions of regular Han troops and millions of local miscellaneous armies. There was no opponent, several rebel armies in the northwest were scattered or forced to surrender on their knees, and they were besieged by a large army for a few days, and the giant wooden banner Fanglong held in a desperate manner, but at this time, the Xi army did not even do it himself, so that the 80,000 Han army led by Cui Jiqiu attacked the city with all its might, and did not dare to retreat in the slightest.

The Zixi camp has been in the past for several miles. It is a low forest in the Taihang area, and the low forest extends to the depths of Taihang Mountain. The army of Yan crossed the border, and the people living nearby were swept away, and the original inhabitants of the village were burned by fire, leaving only a lonely black silhouette in the night. There was an occasional rustling of wild beasts in the woods, but in a burned village there was an unusual noise.

The glow of the flames faintly penetrated through the darkness. On the already dilapidated roof, three flashed in succession. It was a calm but unusually night, and at the moment of the hour, in the woods of the village, cavalry appeared. There were two horseback riders, who carried out in the dark silently. This is a scout released by the Yan army, who chased the snow wolf when he was young. Having fought the grizzly bear, he is now forty years old and his physical strength has declined, but he is in the most old moment of his life. As he walked out of the woods, he frowned and sniffed out something unusual in the air.

Eight battles away from him, the hunters lurking in the grass were also crawling, their bows wound and their springs fastened. After three breaths, Dazzle was shocked.

In the dark silhouette, the figure fell. Two horses also fell. A hunter crawled forward, and as he approached, he broke away from the dark silhouette and hunched over the fallen horse and the enemy. There was a faint smell of blood in the air, but the next moment, a crisis struck!

The blades swung in the night were like huge scythes, and the hunters flew back, and a large piece of autumn grass jumped up like fallen leaves in the autumn wind. In a faint light. The Xi hunter hidden on the ground drew his sword and slashed, rolled, and stride, and at this moment, his figure swelled in the light of the moonlight, and in the flying grass tendons, it turned into a savage and rough image, just like the hunting of wild beasts in the snowfield countless times

, The Xi people held knives in both hands, and when they reached the highest moment, they slashed like thunder!

The hunter flew back and rolled, slamming the back of his knife with his left hand and rising to meet it. There was a bang, and sparks and iron filings flew out.

'Whoosh, poof' The Xi hunter threw away the doubles with both hands and grabbed at his throat, only to see a bone nail inserted in his throat, and then his body slowly fell.

I saw a dirty scholar with an iron fan in his hand standing up from the grass on the other side and asked, "How are the nails around you?" ”

The man who made the knife clasped his fists and whispered: "Thank you Kong Qi Master for helping, these should be the last two." ”

It was already night, and the stars were shining overhead, but in front of Fang Tianhua's eyes, there were fifty or sixty huge grassland tents, and the soldiers sanitized the qi, enveloping the four fields. A trench more than a foot wide was dug around the tent, and inside the trench was a retaining wall made of huge logs.

Fang Tianhua and Xiao Mei half-knelt behind the mound, pointing at the camp of the Xi people, and discussing in a low voice. At this time, their low words seemed to have a murderous aura of gold and iron, short and heavy, and went straight to the bottom of people's hearts. Behind the two of them, there was a group of more than a hundred people slowly approaching them.

"There is an ambush in the dark in front of the camp tent on the left hand, I will touch it over and solve it first, and when I open the tent, you take your brothers to rush in, and there is a slightly higher place between the two tents in the middle, you will break through from here!"

"Okay! That's it! ”

Fang Tianhua was like a tanuki, flying over the trench and the retaining wall in two breaths, and his figure disappeared into the retaining wall. After a while, the camp gate was slowly opened from the inside.

The first cry finally sounded in the night sky, tearing apart the silence around them, as if exploding in everyone's hearts! And Xiao Mei took the lead, rushing into the camp of the Xi people, and everyone subconsciously spread their legs and rushed forward!

The shouts were one after another, and then all kinds of voices came out together, and the Yan State officer who was lying in his clothes drilled out of the camp tent, his first reaction was not to prepare to defend against the enemy, but to quickly mobilize his own soldiers and prepare to suppress the camp!

After a while, a fire broke out in the camp, and the shouts of killing and screaming were all in one place.

The Han army camp in the distance was startled by the shouts of killing in the distance, and the entire camp was in a commotion. Cui Jiqiu rushed out of the camp as soon as possible, and when he saw that the Xi people were attacked, he hurriedly mobilized all the cavalry teams to rush to the rescue.

Fang Tianhua felt the sound of hooves like thunder at this time, and it was coming from three directions, shouting loudly to the Ming Sect people to snatch the war horses in the camp.

When Fang Tianhua jumped on his horse and straightened up, he looked around, and saw that under the reflection of the surrounding firelight, there were groups of Yan State cavalry in the front, left, and right! The knight had already opened his bow, and behind him were layers of spears and straight knives, which shimmered in the light of the fire behind them.

Hundreds of war horses, the wind rolls up the Central Plains in autumn. Suddenly, a dozen feathered arrows seemed to tear through the dark night. The lightning bolted straight ahead, Fang Tianhua's big gun shook, and the spear flower spread, as if it was like a blood-red ball, and each spear cherry seemed to bloom upright at this moment.

The scope of his cover is very large, and it is mainly to cover the next three roads, they all have armor on their bodies, because there has just been a light rain, the bow is loose and soft, and the shot is in the stomach, and basically can only hear a sound. But the horses were not armoured. If you break the mount, you won't be able to run away when the time comes!

The useless shooting between the two sides lasted for a short time, and then hundreds of hideous-looking armorers were seen, suddenly revealing their bodies from the darkness!

On the other side, everyone wore armor. But outside the armor, everyone is still used to seeing the red robes of the Great Xia Shenwu Army. The voice of the opponent scolding is also the accent of the Central Plains.

Yu Chao, who was closely following Fang Tianhua, burst out with a shout: "Weidu! ”

Yu Chao was originally a commander of the Shenwu army in Great Xia, five years ago the Yan army broke through Chang'an, the Shenwu army was defeated, Yu Chao and the troops were separated, and the giant wooden banner continued to fight against the invaders. And Wei Du is Yu Chao's boss, the head of the Shenwu Army.

This Weidu, actually took refuge in the enemy, the old general Yu Jie founded the Shenwu Army, but I was afraid that today, his strong army that crisscrossed the northwest, at the foot of this Taihang Mountain, his two love generals belonged to the two sides of Dayan and Mingjiao rebels, and they collided head-on like this!

Fang Tianhua shouted violently, this roar only shook the mountain roar, suppressing all the sounds. Even the inside rushed

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Several armorers seemed to be shocked by this roar! In the roar, Fang Tianhua had already slammed the horse's belly and went straight up. The big gun sticks out. The strength was everywhere, and the head of the spear swung like a living dragon, already sending a cloud of blood mist out of the throat of the armorer at the front of the heavy load. Then he didn't stop and pounced on the few people behind him, and drilled when he saw the cracks, just greeted him in the place where the throat and the nail leaves could not be covered, and there was no one in front of Jin. just turned over and fell off the horse, and the war horse couldn't contain the momentum. He also rushed forward with the corpse. At the foot of the mountain, there was a sound of a plopping and dull corpse falling to the ground, and some people were not dead, but were dragged by horses in the mud when they landed, and were trampled by startled horses, just screaming. However, an opening was made in the throat, and the screaming sound became a leaking sound, accompanied by blood mist spurting from the throat!

Occasionally, a few people flashed Fang Tianhua's first round of stabs, and Fang Tianhua staggered, but before they could react, they saw Fang Tianhua not looking back, holding the big gun with one hand, and swept back vigorously. It was as if they had eyes in the back of their heads, and they only hit them on the back. This great spear was in his hand, and it was the power of such heavy weapons as hammers, clubs, whips, and maces. Any opponent next to each other will immediately spurt blood. I can't straighten my waist on the horse, and I can't bear it even more so I just fall off the horse. Only the mountain opening knife in Wei Du's hand blocked it, and Wei Du's tiger mouth was shocked. The two war horses staggered by, Wei Du heard the screaming wind behind his head, and one shield stood and hid, avoiding the sweep of the big gun, just supporting his body, and Yu Chao was already close to the size. Yu Chao was concerned about the kindness of his early years, and he didn't want to ruin the lives of his former colleagues. The knife was handed over to his left hand, and his right hand on the horse swung his fist directly into Wei Du's chest, but the cold light flashed in front of him, and his entire right arm was unloaded by the opponent's sword.

In the city of Linzhou, large and small fires have already broken out, and black smoke has risen into the sky. With the smoke and dust on the battlefield, it rushed straight into the sky! , inside and outside Linzhou, the screams and screams seemed to roll up the northwest land of the Central Plains, and in such a night, even the bright moon in the sky became dim. Under the condition that the main altar attracted all the cavalry of the other party, Fang Long led the remaining three or four thousand Ming Sect Giant Wood Banner sect members in the whole city who did not die, and struggled to break through to the west, struggling to gradually fall down from the west of the county.

Outside the west gate, the soldiers and horses on both sides have been completely chaotic, whether it is the side that broke through, or the Han army of Yan State who attacked the city, all the soldiers do not know the generals, the generals do not know the soldiers, among them, the people in the city are also crying and running around, inside and outside the city there are no flies everywhere, the corpses of the people abound, and there are more women in tattered clothes, who are laughing wildly and walking away by these chaotic soldiers.

The four gates of Linzhou have all been opened, and there are crowds of people coming out of the city everywhere, but except for the west gate is fighting, the other city gates are blocked by the Yan State rebels, as long as the fleeing people and displaced people bump here, the man can't help but break up the weapons on his body, and then pick up the soft belongings on the corpse, the woman grabbed the hair and grabbed it, the old ugly one was thrown into the moat, and the young one was still on the side, with knives and guns forced to take care of it, and when the looting was enough, he left here and went anywhere?

In addition to the suffering of the people, these rebels also attacked and killed each other. The troops guarding the city gates, looting too much, holding the city gates for too long, there is always another army that looks at it hotly, and wants a piece of the pie, or simply drives them away from the city gates. Both sides are red-eyed, and if they want to get this good place, it will be a fight of their own people at every turn. The losers threw down a few corpses and poured into the city screaming and cursing to see if there was anything worth burning, and the victors stayed here to deal with the fleeing civilians with doubly brutal means. Until they were driven away by the new rebels.

The people of the Ming Sect led by Fang Long had lost the space for impact, and their physical strength had reached the limit of their bodies after the battle, and the only thing that could support them was the will to survive. The scope of the battlefield is constantly expanding, and both sides are bleeding slowly, but when the other party's structure is completely chaotic, it can't eat this team that plays with death for a while.

This situation suddenly became different as Fang Long formed an assault detachment of hundreds of Ming Sect veterans. These veterans are all the remnants of a hundred battles, all of them can play the role of grassroots officers, at this time, killing to the present they are also regarded as the last strength for Ming Jian, the world is so big, if they can't kill it, where else can they go?

One wave retreated, and another wave of the enemy came up. All the way forward, the ruler is the ruler, and the inch is the inch.

The two sides began to strangle each other in the middle of the night, and fought until the sun rose over the eastern horizon, and finally rushed into the low woods below the mountain, and the people of the Ming Sect were already covered in bruises and exhausted.
