"Open the door and let us in!"
In front of the third earthen wall, Sun Cheng Yang Fan, Zeng Yanyan and Xu Hui and other people shouted at the soldiers behind the earthen wall, they had gone through a fight, and finally ran to the front of the third line of defense, just wanting to go in to avoid the pursuit of thieves.
"You can't open the door without the order of the commander-in-chief! Hurry back and kill the enemy, don't make a noise here! "The guards behind the earthen wall have no sympathy for these dozens of routed soldiers, and just want to expel them quickly.
"General, please let us in, there are so many thieves, the brothers are all gone!" Xu Hui was still pleading bitterly with the defenders behind the earthen wall in front of him.
"Don't say more, retreat quickly!" The guard shouted angrily.
"Brother Xu Hui, have you seen Han Feng and Wang Tong?" At this time, a soldier behind the earthen wall asked, this person is Li Zhi from the same village as Han Feng and Wang Tong.
"Brother Li Zhi, I didn't see Han Feng and them, that fire burned us all away, you persuade this general to let us in."
Li Zhi thought about it, then looked at Sun Cheng, Yang Fan and Zeng Yanyan, and raised his courage to say to the guard: "General Wang, let's let them in, ...... thieves."
"Li Zhi, do you want to disobey the military order? Do you have to speak? Shut up and hold your place! The guard roughly interrupted Li Zhi's intercession words, and ordered the archers to aim at Zeng Yanyan and the others, and the atmosphere immediately became tense......
At this moment, there was a commotion behind the defenders' front, it turned out that Feng Chounian really couldn't stand it, and ran to the house on the high platform behind to find Zong Sheng to open the door despite everyone's obstruction, but pushed the door in Zong Sheng and his personal guards were already gone, and immediately knew that he had run away, so he ran on the high platform and shouted, but he didn't know that this shout directly led to chaos in the defense line!
"Straight sissy thief! Zong Sheng, this animal, left his brothers and ran away! In a fit of rage, Feng Chou Nian waved a big axe and cut off the banner of the sect that was still hanging in front of the high platform, which was completely messed up.
"What? Ran away?"
"I said, why hasn't there been any movement for so long?"
"I saw General Zong sitting on the stage just now, it won't be fake, right?"
"You stupid, didn't you see the madman cut off all the flagpoles? How can it be fake? ”
"So what do we do? I don't want to die! ”
"Why don't we run away, we'll die if we stay here anyway!"
"Yes, horizontal and vertical are also dead, run!"
"Okay, run!"
…………
As the noise became louder and louder, a huge riot had begun to cause in the third line of defense, especially when the banner of the commander-in-chief had fallen, the unsuspecting soldiers at the front immediately shouted "The deputy commander-in-chief is dead."
Therefore, all the soldiers disregarded the deterrence of the guards, abandoned their posts one after another, and poured out of the rear fort like a tide......
"What's going on? What's wrong? Liu Ce and the others, who were still resting in the alley, were shaken by the commotion outside, and vaguely heard the remarks of "General Zong died in battle", but the thieves have not yet attacked the third earthen wall? Just as Liu Ce was still thinking about what was going on, another dull horn sounded, and a new wave of thieves began to attack......
"All obey my orders, rest is over, maintain formation, and slowly exit the alley from behind!" Liu Ce picked up the spear and gave a decisive order, and unconsciously there was a different majesty in the hearts of everyone present.
When everyone slowly trotted to the third line of defense, the sight made everyone gasp unconsciously, only to see the defenders behind the earthen wall fighting for each other, and they fled to the outside of the fort, and the thieves were already gradually approaching the wall.
"Array, prepare for battle!" Liu Ce pointed his spear at the thieves, and now he had to race against time, and he had to reach the gap more than a dozen steps away from him before the army of thieves, so that he could evacuate calmly......
Han Feng picked up a feather arrow and aimed it at a thief, hitting the thief in the chest with unmistakable accuracy. When the surrounding thieves saw that there was a lone army of dozens of people, they surrounded them one after another......
"Raise your gun, kill!" Liu Ce divided the remaining 80 people into four columns, and those who were injured were the last, so that they could quickly climb over the wall after reaching the gap.
More than a dozen thieves who rushed to the front were pierced by spears and fell to the ground, and some clever thieves tried to cross the closes and were also nailed to death by the spearmen who crossed in the second row, but due to tension and lack of cooperation proficiency and tacit understanding, three pikemen were still killed by the thieves.
"Raise your gun, kill!" Liu Ce gave another order, and twenty spears came out of the hole like poisonous snakes and burrowed into the enemy's body, and many thieves who were not dead rolled on the ground with their wounds, and some of the thieves with their wounds hanging from their intestines let out a scream that was not like the world.
Chen Qing pierced another thief in the lower abdomen, and before he could put away the gun, a thief next to him attacked with a long knife. Just as Chen Qing was about to die, a spear on the side pierced the thief's cheek accurately, and the thief's entire face was bloody and fleshy, and he died in pain.
Chen Qing looked back at Liu Ce, who was expressionless, and couldn't help but feel grateful in his heart, recalling his previous words to unconditionally trust the soldiers around him, and couldn't help but realize the meaning of this sentence......
The closer to the gap, the more thieves there are, Liu Ce's throat is a little dry, and he still mechanically ordered to raise his gun to assassinate, after hundreds of corpses fell around the formation, at the cost of casualties of 27 soldiers, forcing the thieves to be frightened, and did not dare to step forward without authorization, Liu Ce and his party finally arrived at the gap, and then went on guard in front of the formation, and crossed the wall in an orderly manner......
When Liu Ce, Chen Qing, Guo Tao and others finally successfully climbed over the earthen wall, the new thieves also flocked to ...... "Brothers, now run for your lives, and we will see each other again in the future!" Take care, everyone! After Liu Ce shot and killed a thief who was climbing over the wall, he hugged his fists to the soldiers who were fighting together behind him, and without waiting for everyone to reply, he fled directly to the outside of the fort with the rout......
"Brother Han Feng!" Li Zhi spotted Han Feng in the crowd and squeezed through the crowd and ran towards him.
"Li Zhi!" Han Feng hugged Li Zhi for the rest of his life, "Great, I thought you were dead, by the way, what about Wang Tong?" Why isn't he with you? ”
Facing Li Zhi's inquiry, Han Feng lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Talk? What about Wang Tongren? Li Zhi had already felt something, but he still didn't want to believe that it was true.
"It's all my uselessness, I didn't protect Wang Tong! I'm useless! Wang Tong's emotions completely exploded at this time, his face was full of blood and tears, like a mad lion beating the leather armor on his chest with his hands.
"I don't blame you! It's not your fault! Wang Tong endured his grief and stopped Han Feng, "It's good that you're still alive, let's go." ”
Just as Wang Tong pulled Han Feng and fled outside the fort, suddenly a huge strong man jumped over the earthen wall, holding a mace like cutting wheat and swept away the soldiers in front of him.
"Be careful." Just as the giant man's mace swept towards Han Feng and Wang Tong, Wang Tong raised the shield in his hand and struggled to block it, and the entire shield shattered in an instant, and Wang Tong also spat out a mouthful of blood and flew out!
"Phew!" The thief giant spit out a mouthful of sawdust splashed into his mouth, raised his mace and smashed it at Han Feng, Han Feng hurriedly dodged and took a few steps back and pulled out the arrow as soon as he put it on the string, when he saw the giant man waving the mace on the ground and bringing up a piece of loess to sweep Han Feng's eyes, Han Feng's eyes were blurred suddenly, but he vaguely felt the mace attacking him, and hurriedly took the bow to block it, and the step bow was broken into two, but fortunately, the bowstring was tough enough, and it was stubbornly entangled with the mace, and Han Feng's palms were ground by the bowstring to blood.
The giant man pulled the mace back in a rage, and the bowstring in Han Feng's hand was violently pulled away, and just as the mace slashed horizontally, Han Feng roared angrily and crashed into the thief giant, and the two fell together. The giant man got up, clapped his hands, and didn't pick up the mace that fell to the side, but showed a bloodthirsty sneer, looking at Han Feng, who was still on the ground and couldn't open his eyes, rushed up with a kick, Han Feng's whole person was kicked, and another punch was smashed into his face, and a piece of flesh and blood was blown to the side of the wooden fence. Han Feng was already unconscious at this time, and the red and swollen half of his face looked at a huge figure slowly approaching, but his body had no reaction, and he almost knocked his soul away with a kick and a punch just now......
"Die!" The giant man mentioned that Han Feng was about to punch him again, but Li Zhimeng behind him suddenly rushed to him and hugged him. When the giant man saw that he couldn't break free, he dropped Han Feng and grabbed Li Zhi's left wrist to fall over the shoulder. Li Zhi's left wrist had been shattered when he raised his shield to resist the blow of the giant man's mace, and at this time, his entire wrist had been completely broken by such a grab, and he grinned in pain, fell heavily to the ground, and then was kicked to the side.
The giant man cleaned up Li Zhi, and when he was about to make another move on Han Feng, Li Zhi pounced again, wrapped his hands around the giant man's waist, and the broken palm hung like this, and shocking white bones could be vaguely seen in the rupture.
"Look for death!" The giant man was furious and smashed a fist on Li Zhi's back, Li Zhi spit out a mouthful of blood, and still hugged the thief giant's waist without showing any signs of letting go.
"Let's go, Han Feng, let's go! What are you doing, run! Li Zhi's mournful cry reached Han Feng's ears, and he tried to make himself sober and stood up weakly. I saw the thief in front of him slamming his fist hard in front of Li Zhi, who was hugging his waist, he wanted to do something, but his body didn't listen to his brain, and his vision gradually blurred......
The strong man refused to let go when he saw how he smashed Li Zhi, so he immediately put one arm on his neck, and covered his mouth with the other palm: "Since you want to die so much, then Lao Tzu will fulfill you!" After speaking, his hand twisted, only to hear a crisp sound of "cough", Li Zhi's eyes widened, and he was twisted and broke his neck and died unwillingly.
"Don't worry, it's your turn right away!" The giant man threw Li Zhi's body aside and slowly walked towards the still "sleepwalking" state, with a cruel smile on his face.
Suddenly, the giant man felt a pain in his back, and he almost fell, and when he turned around, he saw a gloomy spear stabbing at his chest. The giant man grabbed the barrel of the spear and clamped it under his armpit. I saw a forty-year-old soldier on the opposite side with a blazing gaze, and at a glance he knew that he was a veteran of a hundred battles.
The giant man was furious, and his other hand kept pressing the barrel of the gun, and the barrel of the gun began to bend, vaguely about to break.
"Xiaohui!" That veteran was Zeng Yanyan, he took Xu Hui to climb over the earthen wall before, and saw that the giant man was fighting with Li Zhi and Han Feng, and he didn't want to flee with the defeated army, but Xu Hui was kind-hearted, and he must have asked Zeng Yan to save Li Zhi and them, just because Li Zhi was the only one who pleaded with the guards before.
Xu Hui on the side flew up with a shield in his hand and smashed it on the head of the thief giant, the giant man was knocked to the ground by Xu Hui, and was about to get up Xu Hui smashed on his face again, leaving a blood mark.
