9. Under the bloody battle

Dozens of thieves in fine leather armor and bronze knives stepped over the earthen wall on the corpses of their companions. This group of thieves is different from the past, each body is strong and has superb martial arts, and at the moment of landing, the sparse lineup of spearmen at the front was instantly rushed back by this group of thieves.

A spearman took a deep breath and stabbed at a thief wielding a long knife, and the thief saw this, and the spearman took advantage of the momentum of the spear and got close to the spearman, but before the spearman could react, the long knife slashed through his neck, and the spearman's head flew out in an instant—beheaded.

Killing the spearman, the thief licked the bloody blade and continued to look for the next target......

On the other side, Wang Tong raised his shield to resist a thief's long knife slashing, his waist knife could not cut through the leather armor inlaid with copper plates, so he could only blindly raise the shield to defend the embarrassment, the thief kept waving the long knife and hitting the shield, pressing Wang Tong breathless.

"Huh~"

Just when Wang Tong's arm was numb and he couldn't hold it anymore, a sharp sound of breaking the air struck, and a thumb-thick wolf tooth arrow shot through the thief's cheek, bringing out a flying pillar of blood, and the thief was shot down without saying a word.

Wang Tong shot at the arrows and looked around, and on a low house not far away, Han Feng held a bow and looked at Wang Tong with a concerned expression.

Wang Tong smiled, and Chao Han Feng raised the waist knife in his hand to show his gratitude, after all, they grew up together in a village, came out to work together, served as soldiers together, and went to the battlefield together, this kind of relationship between dead friends is even heavier than that of brothers.

Han Feng was just about to wave his hand in response, but suddenly froze, not far away, Wang Tong's chest was pierced by a short spear from his back, and the hand holding the waist knife froze in mid-air for a while, and gradually felt that all his strength was drained, and he fell weakly......

"No!" Han Feng roared hysterically, couldn't believe all this in front of him, and quickly pulled out an arrow from behind him and put it on the bowstring and shot it at the thief, the thief's long knife turned and knocked off the arrows, showing a provocative expression to Han Feng, and then turned around and cut down several spearmen and drowned in the sea of people.

Under the fierce fight of these dozens of thieves who were not afraid of death, the soldiers in front of the earthen wall suffered heavy casualties, leaving a lot of open space, which provided convenience for the thieves behind to march. Looking at the army of thieves surging over the wall like a tide, the first line of defense was basically breached......

Liu Ce looked at all this in front of him, and calculated that in less than half an hour, the first earthen wall was about to be breached, and more than half of the more than 1,200 soldiers were killed or wounded, and they were only one step away from collapse.

Liu Ce got up and grabbed his spear, glanced at Xu Hui, who was still trembling by the wall, ignored him, and ran towards the second earthen wall......

"Whoever told you to come, go back! One step closer, shoot and kill! Seeing Liu Ce running towards the second line of defense, the commander behind the earthen wall shouted loudly!

Liu Ce said: "My lord, the front is no longer resistant, please send reinforcements quickly!" ”

"Daring, who do you think you are? Dare to point fingers at General Ben? I order you to go back and kill the enemy immediately, or ......"

"Are you blind?" Liu Ce interrupted the commander's remarks and said sharply: "The front is almost unbearable, once the army collapses, what will be the consequences?" Do you want to force the soldiers and the thieves to rush into battle together? ”

"Presumptuous! How dare you ram General Ben? Thinking that the war situation is urgent now, General Ben can not blame the past, and now he orders you to go back immediately to kill the enemy, and say one more word, don't blame the sword for having no eyes! After finishing speaking, more than a dozen step bows and bows were aimed at Liu Ce.

Liu Ce glanced at the earthen wall angrily, said no more, and turned around and walked towards the first earthen wall. Since the plea for help is fruitless, then the only way to do it is to give it a go, and no matter what, you can't let the soldiers collapse at this time.

Liu Ce didn't even look at the hungry people who ran over with a flick of his spear, swept him away with a shot, and then jumped towards the dense group of thieves, and several thieves in front of him intuitively felt that a dark cloud was descending rapidly above their heads, and then a figure overwhelmed the whole group of thieves.

Liu Ce hurriedly got up, the spear in his hand was either pointed or picked, constantly harvesting the lives of the thieves in front of him, the body of the spear was already stained with blood, but there were more and more thieves who climbed over the earthen wall, and they kept killing in his direction.

"It can't go on like this!" Liu Ce looked at the inexhaustible thieves like locusts, and he had to try to do something to drive out the group of thieves in the wall, so that he could have time to withdraw to the second line of defense, otherwise he would have to explain here today, and looked at the earthen house where Han Feng was not far away, Liu Ce raised his gun and waved, "cough", and the neck of a thief soldier was smashed alive......

At this time, Han Feng had fallen into a state of madness because of Wang Tong's death, and shot arrow after arrow at the thief crowd with a bow in his hand, and every time he shot an arrow, a thief fell to the ground, so he had shot out more than 20 wolf tooth arrows, and his arm had long been numb to the limit, but he still tirelessly pulled out the arrow and shot it with a bow.

At this time, a rogue soldier had already set his eyes on him, only to see him say hello, push away the crowd, and quickly run to the blind corner of Han Feng's sight, then took a long knife in his mouth, stepped on the stone pier on the side, jumped up, grabbed the rope ladder behind the earthen house and climbed towards the roof.

As soon as the thief soldier climbed onto the rooftop platform, he took a look at Liu Ce, who had also climbed onto the roof, and the two looked at each other, and they both saw a chill in their eyes. The two were at a stalemate, and Han Feng didn't realize that there were two people behind him, just looking for the thief who killed Wang Tong in the crowd with red eyes......

Time seemed to stand still, and Liu Ce and the thief looked at each other for about a few seconds...... At the moment when Han Feng's bow and arrow were fired again, Liu Ce and the thief soldier actually launched an attack at the same time.

With a sonorous sound, the crisp metal impact came into Liu Ce's ears, the eardrum buzzed, Liu Ce's waist knife with many cracks on the edge of the blade was broken in response, and the thief was also forced to take two steps back by Liu Ce's knife, the long knife was inserted into the horizontal plane, raising a yellow dust mark, barely keeping his balance, seeing Liu Ce's blade broken into two, the thief sneered, pulled out the long knife and slashed towards Liu Ce, Liu Ce faced the knife approaching, did not dodge or dodge, just about to cut his face, his body immediately flashed to the right, and the moment the thief's knife was swung in the air, Liu Ce's hand blade slashed through his throat like lightning, and for a moment the thief soldier threw away the long knife in his hand in disbelief, and grabbed his neck tightly with both hands, trying to stop the blood from gushing out.

Liu Ce unhurriedly threw away the blade in his hand, picked up the long knife on the ground, walked slowly behind the thief, and kicked him off the platform. Then I looked at the long knife in my hand, the blade is 80 cm long, about 10 cm wide, and weighs 7-8 catties. But this knife is still complete, only one or two gaps, and it is enough to use it to save one's life for the time being.

Just as Liu Ce was about to open his mouth to speak to Han Feng, Han Feng turned around violently, holding a thumb-thick wolf tooth arrow with a bow in his hand, and the gloomy arrow emitted a bloodthirsty light. Liu Ce glanced at Han Feng, and quickly fell to the ground at the moment when the arrow destringed, and the wolf's tooth arrow almost completely sank into the chest of the thief behind Liu Ce, and the thief was shot by the arrow at such a close distance, and the whole person was thrown away.

After Han Feng shot this arrow, he fell to the ground without warning, his arms could no longer exert any strength, and the fingers that controlled the strings were already swollen and purple. Liu Ce got up and nodded lightly to Han Feng to express his gratitude, seeing his appearance, he didn't say anything anymore, and continued to jump to another higher platform.

"It should be right here." Liu Ce said to himself, he had the impression that when the original body host of the previous life passed through the thick earth fort in the previous thieves, he found that a large amount of fire oil was hidden in a certain room in the high place, all of which were contained in clay pots, and now what he had to do was to find out these fire oils to reverse the erosion situation in front of him, as long as the thieves could stop attacking for a quarter of an hour, he and the remaining hundreds of people in front of the earth wall could calmly retreat to the second line of defense and rest temporarily.

Finally, he rummaged through three platforms in a row and found dozens of jars of fire oil sealed with wax in one room. Liu Ce pierced a hole in each seal, then grabbed a jar and poured it from the roof, pouring almost all the pungent oil on the corpse...... Emptied one altar after another, and after pouring ten altars, Hou Liu Ce took out a fire fold and a burning core grass (an otherworldly plant, flammable, can be used as a kerosene wick), lit it and threw it down......

A flame sprung up, and the corpses in an open space in front of the earthen wall were ignited, Liu Ce picked up two more jars of fire oil, and smashed them down violently, and the fire became bigger in an instant, one of the fire oil cans exploded, and the sparks splashed on several thieves, the viscous fire oil was very flammable, and soon the fire on these thieves became more and more vigorous.

The burning pain caused the thieves to panic and run around screaming loudly, which in turn set fire to the nearby corpses that had been sprinkled with fire oil. A few of them rolled on the spot a little calmly, not wanting to also set fire to the corpses on the ground, and the dozen or so thieves were engulfed alive by the fire, and the fire spread rapidly, forming a wall of fire dozens of meters long and still spreading wildly at a meat-visible speed.

Liu Ce hung the long knife behind his back, tied the remaining dozen jars of fire oil together with a rope, divided them into two groups, and found a piece of torn cotton cloth casually, and saw that the thieves and soldiers below were already in chaos, and when they avoided the fire, they covered their mouths and noses, jumped back to the ground according to the same way, and then ran wildly to the unburned area, and the fire oil in the jar was sprinkled all the way on the road and ignited by the flames that jumped by. When he ran to the other side in one breath, the fire oil was almost empty, looking at the smoke billowing fire behind him, Liu Ce smashed all the jars in his hand into the earthen wall that the thieves in front of him had overcome, and the earthen wall instantly burst out of flames, forcing back several thieves who were climbing over the wall......

The wall of fire is more than 200 meters long, the thick black smoke makes people unable to breathe, and the air is filled with a disgusting smell of cooked meat.

The soldiers behind the second earthen wall were dumbfounded, and many people witnessed Liu Ce jumping up and down to change the whole situation, and at this time, they saw more than 100 people gathered around Liu Ce running towards the second earthen wall.

The previous commander looked at all this in front of him, and couldn't help but gasp: "This guy is so ruthless, it's better to make less trouble......
