Chapter 1 Winning (Nine Tops)

"Draw closer, move closer to me!" Huaihualang made Sun Yanwu hoarse and danced like a windmill. \()Update/Approaching him, the Shi family soldiers were cut down one after another, with him as the center of the circle, forming a circle of flesh and blood around him. The children of the Li family, who were trapped in the phalanx, seized the opportunity and approached Sun Yanwu desperately. Back to back, they protect each other and stand tall in the tide of people.

"The Great General will come to our rescue immediately!" After being reminded by Sun Yanwu, Guide Zhonglang General Li Rong and guerrilla general Ma Zeqing also gathered the Li family soldiers and soldiers near him together to form two solid small circle formations. The advancing Shijia military formation was blocked by three "nodes", and a large section in the middle was cut into pieces. Seeing this, Saburo Shizhong was furious, brandishing an axe the size of a dustpan and rushing over. "Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'll deal with him!" While rushing at him, he reminded everyone to pay attention to give way. not only reminded his own robe, but also attracted the attention of Sun Yanwu and others.

Cutting the generals before the battle is the most effective way to demoralize the enemy. Without waiting for Shi Chong to get close to a Li family army, the brigade led the detachment from the team and rushed straight towards Shi Chong. He was holding a long lance in his hand, and the man did not reach the lance first. Seeing that he was about to stab Shi Zhong in the chest, the latter suddenly stopped running, his body fell to the side as if he had been tripped up, and then stumbled and shook out two steps, landing on one knee and sweeping the axe face diagonally from the bottom to the top. It was too late for the Li family army to withdraw and block. The black blade of the axe slashed directly under his ribs, slicing through his armor and belly, tearing his internal organs into several pieces and sweeping them out.

"Ahh The Li family army led the army to scream and fell to the ground on his back. Losing his center of gravity, General Ishige took advantage of the inertia of his axe swing to slam forward, pushing another spear from his shoulder, stabbing his side and kicking the spear wielder's lower crotch.

"Ahh A gap appeared in the originally solid small circle formation in an instant, and desperately Saburo Shizhong slammed forward with a few henchmen. Sun Yanwu was furious, cursing and waving his sword to face the battle. Shi Zhong picked up the axe and hit the blade of the blade, knocking the horizontal knife out of a spark. Then slash at the opponent's head with a backhand axe. Sun Yanwu was surrounded by his own robes, and there was no way to avoid it, so he had to raise his horizontal knife to block. "Dang" was another crisp sound, the stone-heavy axe was knocked off, and the horizontal knife in Sun Yanwu's hand was smashed into an arc.

"Come again!" Shi Zhong, who was born as a woodcutter, did not lack strength, and before Sun Yanwu changed his weapon, he split Huashan with a force. "Bell!" "Bell!" "Bell!" "Bell!" Sparks splashed everywhere, and the horizontal knife in Sun Yanwu's hand became more and more bent and bent, and finally broke into two with a "click".

Say it's too late, then it's too fast. Throwing half of the blade in his hand at Shi Chong's face, Sun Yanwu jumped backwards. Crashing into his own robe, he completely smashed the circle formation that had been formed with great difficulty, and escaped Shi Zhong's hard blow. The splitter snatched a lance from the brother's hand and met it again. Patronizing and chasing the enemy, Shi Chong's forehead was slashed in the head by a flying blade, blood flowed sideways, mixed with the blood that had just been splashed on his body, and the whole person looked as if he had been splashed with blood.

There was no time to wipe the plasma off his face, and Sun Yanwu's lance had already pierced in front of him. Shi Zhong leaned over again, this time not as lucky as last time, and was stabbed through the shoulder socket by the lance. "Ah——!h He screamed loudly and swept with his axe with one hand, slashing the mallet in two. Then he rushed forward with an axe and crashed into Sun Yanwu's arms.

Sun Yanwu snorted and stumbled. Shi Zhong pressed his head against his head, his knees against his thighs, and pushed the axe down with one hand. At such a close distance, the axe blade could not be swung at all, and the chopping effect was like a lump of iron. Sun Yanwu grabbed the axe with both hands and pushed it back. shouted loudly and ordered his brothers to come and relieve the siege. The children of the Li family nearby were originally not many in number, and as soon as the defensive formation dispersed, they were immediately entangled by the soldiers of the Dou family who had been killed. In the heart-rending scream, Shi Zhong pressed down the axe blade, and finally his whole body lay on his stomach, and he died on the axe. The heavy axe bent Sun Yanwu's fingers stiffly, cutting off his protective leather armor, shattering his sternum, squeezing out the internal organs and dirty blood along his mouth and nostrils.

"Death to those who stand in my way!" Ishige pulled out his axe from the enemy's body, turned and ran to the next target. The children of the Li family, who were entangled with their opponents, heard his footsteps and were frightened and hurried. The Dou family sergeant next to him immediately seized the opportunity, raised his sword and spear at the same time, and put this Li family disciple down in a pool of blood.

"Death to those who stand in my way!" Shi Zhong strode through a pool of blood and ran to the next enemy. The Li family disciple looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he had a ring of fluff on his mouth. Now he was targeted by a fierce god and was so frightened that he cried loudly. While crying, he danced his weapon up and down. Without Shi Zhong, the ordinary soldiers under his hands solved this child. It's a little unbearable, but it's ruthless.

"Die, die!" Stone yelled and screamed like a madman and pounced on another group of enemies. Not long after running out, he was slashed in the face by a neck, and had to stop. "Stay in formation, don't worry about the things over there!" Shi Zhan, who followed up, commanded loudly with Shi Chong's ear. The latter came to his senses in an instant, let out a loud roar, and turned around and pounced in front of the formation.

At the same time, on another "node" in the phalanx, Li Rong and Shi Hui had already divided the winner and loser. Li Rong, who had been in battle for a long time, was experienced, and took advantage of a wrong step to stab the long lance into Shi Hui's lower abdomen. Shi Hui, who was seriously injured, screamed and fell to the ground, but grabbed the lance with both hands and refused to let go. Li Rong pulled it out twice in a row, but he didn't pull it out, and when he was about to give up, the robe around him had been killed. Three Shi family soldiers surrounded him with spears and short knives and stabbed him up and down. Li Rong twisted sideways, picked it up from the ground, and stabbed the broken blade into the chest of the person closest to him. Then he was stabbed by several weapons at the same time and roared and pounced on Shi Hui.

The two of them quickly became entangled together, and blood continued to slide down from themselves and their enemies. Suddenly, Shi Hui's head tilted upward, spurting out a breath of blood, and he died. Li Rong propped his hands on his chest, got up a little, and then let out a long sigh and died.

Zhang Quan and Feng Qing fought against Ma Zeqing, and it was difficult to solve. The surrounding Shi family soldiers swarmed up, taking advantage of Ma Zeqing's entangled efforts to solve all the Li family children trapped nearby. Ma Zeqing, who was alone, was exhausted from the left block, and was rushed to his side by Zhang Quan and hugged his waist. Feng Qing saw the opportunity and smashed it with a hammer, smashing Ma Zeqing's helmet and head to pieces.

The large phalanx of the Shi family's army, which had solved its own internal problems, became more and more smooth, surging onto the river beach like a torrent, forcing the children of the Li family who crossed the river to retreat. The follow-up Li family disciples were blocked by thick smoke on the bridge, and for a while and a half, they would not be able to provide effective support to the front, and they could only watch their robes being squeezed down the river and stabbed to death in the river of blood by a long lance.

"Crossbow arrows shoot to open the way for the army!" Chai Shao, who was standing on the other side of the river and commanding the battle, roared angrily and gave a cruel order.

Standing in the middle of the river, in the blood water on the side of the south bank, the Li family crossbowman who had been preparing for a long time immediately raised his crossbow and pulled the cold crossbow string. Unable to cross their own robes that had retreated into the river, they had to deal with them along with the enemy. In an instant, on the other side of the river, there was no distinction between enemy and me, and a large number of screams, curses, and wails were endless. The blood poured into the river in a stream, dyeing the already red river even redder and thicker, reflecting the morning sun in the sky, and the smoke and fog flowed downstream.

The Shijia military formation, which was struggling to push forward, immediately stopped, and everyone was stunned, no one expected Chai Shao to be so "open-minded". The brethren in front and behind were huddled together and formed a heap of targets on the banks of the river. Li Jiajun's crossbowmen unceremoniously shot more Iron Feather Long Crossbows over, and put down the Shi family's soldiers who were caught off guard in pieces.

"Retreat, retreat! Retreat and form a formation! In the phalanx, Shi Zhan's heart was like a knife. This team was pulled up by him, and the brothers were all his fellow villagers or clansmen, and their friendship with each other was very deep. I wanted to lead them to find a way out, but I didn't expect to send them all into the hands of evil spirits one morning.

"The handsome can't retreat! Retreat, and the brethren die in vain! Zhang Quan wiped the blood and tears on his face and yelled at Shi Zhan. Destroy the bridge and avenge the brethren! Turning around, he immediately raised his knife and threw himself at the pontoon, which was slowly regaining its unobstructed access.

An iron crossbow pierced his body, revealing a jet-black tip from his back. Immediately after, a dense row of iron crossbows came out of his body, directly dividing his upper body into several sections. Several pro-soldiers rushed forward to try to retrieve his body, and before they could rush to Zhang Quan's side, they were all shot like hedgehogs. Crossbow arrows were like flying locusts, row after row, and the Shijia military array was completely collapsed in front of it, and everyone rushed together to retreat into the distance in a chaotic manner.

"Formation and formation. The shield hand stepped forward to resist! Pushed by his own brother, Shi Zhan retreated in embarrassment while trying to stabilize his position. Many of his own soldiers held hands and pulled them in a row around him. But they couldn't stop everyone from retreating, and in a blink of an eye, they were squeezed around.

"If you retreat in formation, no one will survive!" Shi Zan was frightened, brandishing his scabbard and beating around. The brethren, who had already been stunned by the crossbow arrows, refused to listen anymore, held their heads and retreated desperately.

"The battalion of Zhaozhou stepped forward! Stabilize the position" At the critical moment, Wu Tianxi's voice came from behind the formation, which was not high, but it reached the ears of many people like a natural sound. The panic and anxiety of everyone were suddenly quiet. Followed by three hundred heavily armored Mo swordsmen, they stepped forward in a formation and blocked the retreating flow of people with their blades. The chaotic flow of people was blocked, and they pushed hard, but they couldn't push the heavily armored Mo knife hand in the slightest. Many people turned sideways and continued to retreat. There were also many people who had to stop and close their eyes, waiting for the flying crossbow to take their lives.

The imaginary pain did not come for a long time, and the dead man opened his eyes, only to realize that everyone had withdrawn in the confusion, and there were more than two hundred steps, and they had already withdrawn from the range of the crossbow arrows.

"Formation, formation. The shieldmen come forward to protect the whole army! The Zhaozhou battalion is watching us! Shi Zhan's voice finally reached everyone's ears, and anxiety was mixed with shame. Formations, formations. The shieldmen come forward to protect the whole army! The Zhaozhou battalion is watching us! The soldiers tore their throats and repeated the order aloud. The soldiers of the Shi family in a daze looked at each other, and then at the immobile Zhaozhou battalion, and a ruthless surge suddenly surged in their hearts, running and standing beside Shi Zhan, reorganizing a boxy attack array.

"Archers, crossbowmen, push forward together, give me a clear clearing on the other side!" Picked up a cheap chai on the other side of the river and ordered loudly. The river was not much deep in this section, and the wind was not as strong as upstream, and the battle had already proved the power of the bow and crossbow. Hearing the order, several junior officers organized all the archers and crossbowmen in an array, and walked forward step by step. Stopping at the point where the river was about to reach its waist, it redivided into several rows, alternating to shoot feathered arrows and crossbows at the opposite bank.

The Shi family army slowly retreated while resisting the attack of the bow and crossbow with their shields. Get out of the way of the river beach directly opposite the pontoon bridge and get out of range of the feathered arrows again. Taking advantage of this gap, the Li family sergeants extinguished all the flames above and below the pontoon bridge. The soldiers of the brigade walked across the pontoon bridge and slowly formed a formation on the river beach on the north bank under the cover of feather arrows.

Shi Zan was so anxious that his forehead was bruised, and he promised Cheng Mingzhen to block the enemy army on the river beach, and he must not go back on his word. Turning his head to look at Wu Tianxi, the other party also nodded lightly to him. The two grinned at the same time and said in unison, "One more time!" Pressed from west to east"

"I'll go first!" Wu Tianxixun added another sentence.

"I'll send someone to protect your flanks!" Shi Zan nodded and resolutely promised.

Wu Tianxi laughed, raised the Mo knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me!" A lesson for the surname Chai! ”

"A lesson for the surname Chai!" The Mo Dao Men responded loudly, took neat steps, and walked towards the river bank with Wu Tianxi.

"Little Stone leads people to take shields to protect General Wu!" Shi Chan gritted his teeth and roared a cruel order from his throat. Desperately, Saburo Shi Chongwen heard this, snatched a wooden shield from his side with red eyes, raised it above his head, and shouted loudly: "The camp of Zhaozhou has gone up, and you are not afraid of death, come with me with a shield!" Protect Brother Zhaozhou! ”

"If you are not afraid of death, follow me to protect Brother Zhaozhou!" Feng Qing grabbed the shield and led his descendants to run to the side of the Mo swordsmen, forming two thin long formations to block the direction in which the feather arrows might fly.

The archers and crossbowmen in the river immediately showed this change, adjusting their targets and aiming their bows and crossbows at the shieldmen. The overwhelming feathered arrows flew down and smashed the shields. The pale-faced shield hands of the Shi Family Army gritted their teeth, blocking their sides with their arms, and followed the Mo Dao Formation without falling an inch.

A wave of feathered arrows was followed by a row of long crossbows. A row of long crossbows was followed by a wave of feathered arrows. The wooden shield was shot like a hedgehog and cracks slowly appeared. Suddenly, several shields shattered, exposing the children of the Shi family behind the shields. Feathered arrows immediately filled their bodies, pushing them to stagger. The shield hand in the inner row immediately filled in to block the new empty crotch and block all possible damage to the Mo knife hand.

One shield player falls down, and one shield player is replaced by the inside team.

Another shield-bearer fell, and another stepped outside to fill the gap left by the robes.

One after another. The shield-bearer keeps falling, and the shield-bearer keeps filling in the position. Mo Dao, who was wearing heavy armor, clenched the long knife in his hand, gritted his teeth, and slowly approached the bridgehead with anger in his eyes.

"Knock knock knock!" The low drum beat sounded again, standing on the river beach not far away, Shi Zan waved the drumstick with both hands, and the blood slowly slid down the corners of his mouth.

"Woooooooooo The soldiers blew the horn and shouted for the Mo swordsman and his own robes.

The wind suddenly became stronger.

There are vague gods singing in the sky.

The wind is sluggish and the water is cold!
