Occupying the earthen fort and waiting for reinforcements has become the only choice for the soldiers in a desperate situation, and there is no need to supervise the generals at this moment, let alone make any mobilization, the soldiers are already in high spirits. Li Mao crossed the river this time, and the soldiers around him were all re-selected, and one of his specialties was that he was good at using arrows, and several of them could be called marksmen. Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief first and capture the king. Cavalry aims larger than infantry, and although they move much faster, they are nothing for a true marksman.

Rows of feathered arrows were fired, and Pei Renjing's cavalry lost most of them, and he himself fell off his horse and was slightly injured. The fall of the main general still had an impact on the morale of the soldiers, and the attacking thieves slowed down greatly.

Li Mao seized the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and attack the earth fort, Pei Renyong, who was watching the battle, saw this situation, although he did not know Li Mao's intentions, but he did not dare to be careless, and urgently ordered the forward team to go out to intercept and kill. Half of this forward team is cavalry, half is infantry with armor, and it is the elite of the army that the Pei brothers rely on the most.

The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, the two sides look at each other, the arrows are like rain, shoot each other, Li Mao is located on the river beach and arches upward, the terrain is unfavorable, but the training of the official is far better than that of the Pei family's army, and the weapons and equipment are also strong, after a burst of shooting, the cavalry of the forward team has fallen from their horses, and a small number of them rushed to the river beach, but because of the muddy action speed has been greatly slowed down, it has become the target of the official army. However, those armored infantry were very difficult, condescending, and suppressed Li Mao to the death, and the archers in the rear took advantage of the situation to shoot arrows and repeatedly succeeded.

When the two armies were deadlocked, Pei Renjing changed horses and led the crowd to rush over, and Li Mao saw that the situation was not good, so he had to lead the crowd to attack. Mao Taigong ordered Mo Qi Shentong to crouch on the ground, he jumped on the back of the Shentong, and drank up, Mo Qi Shentong roared, stood up, with the help of this elastic force, Mao Taigong jumped into the armored infantry formation like a bird, his hand rose and fell, and the head of the person was rolling. The Divine Power roared angrily and rushed into the enemy formation. Since he switched to Mao Taigong's disciples, Mo Qi's magic power has also changed to a big sword, although he has only learned some fur, and he can see his divine power in the chaotic army. With the supernatural power of Mo Qi, Mao Taigong got out and went around the back of the guard, with a violent roar, a knife flew up and down, and the twisted stumps and broken arms splashed everywhere mixed with meat juice.

Although Pei Jiajun is not as lacking training as Zhu Jiu and his gang, he is just a flat-headed commoner, and he has not experienced the baptism of a cruel battle array, seeing that Mao Taigong is like the reincarnation of a killing god, he is so frightened that his heart and gall are broken, and his morale is frustrated and even the knife is not good, standing there like a mud puppet, letting Mao Taigong cut and kill. As for Mao Taigong, he has already turned into a meat grinder, no matter how good or bad, just kill it. Relying on the courage of Mao Taigong, after paying more than a dozen lives, Li Mao finally broke onto the riverbank.

However, after walking a few steps, Pei Renjing quickly killed, and the few remaining knights were brave and invincible on the flat ground, clashes left and right, and repeatedly scattered Li Mao's troops. At the moment of crisis, Li Mao only had one guard left by Qingmo's side, and Mo Qishentong was slashed five or six times in a row, and a wound on his back was half a foot long, but fortunately it was not deep, and he was hit by a knife on his shoulder, and his bones were visible deeply. Mao Taigong still conscientiously played the role of a terrifying meat grinder, galloping left and right in the crowd, and everywhere he passed, blood and rain fell, people were rolling, and knives and guns were shooting like rain, but he couldn't hurt his hair.

Qingmo's wooden shield is full of feather arrows, as the main general's guard, most of the time he has to rely on the main general's guard, which makes him feel disgraced, and finally after a roar, Qingmo showed his true colors of killing gods, he held a knife in one hand, a shield in the other, the more brave he became, the more refined he became, and the more calm he became. Qingmo and Mo Qi's supernatural powers originally didn't know martial arts, and Li Mao learned hand-to-hand combat for a few years, and he was not afraid of anyone when he fought alone, but he still lacked a courage in the battle array, seeing that Mo Qi's supernatural powers were already able to take charge of himself, but he still had to rely on Li Mao's protection, Qingmo finally realized that he had to change.

Li Mao has indescribable feelings about Qingmo's transformation, on the one hand, he needs Qingmo to be strong and share the pressure for him, and on the other hand, watching the simple teenager in the past transform into a killer, his heart is indescribably sore. With a crossbow in hand, he shot down three people in a row, and was hit by an arrow in his left arm. The crossbow has a longer range than the bow and is longer than the flat fire, but the disadvantage is that it is very laborious to change the crossbow arrows, and the frequency of firing is much lower than that of the bow, especially in close combat.

This crossbow in Li Mao's hand is not an ordinary crossbow, it is a machine crossbow that can fire three arrows in a row, if the ordinary crossbow is compared to a single-shot rifle, this machine crossbow can barely be regarded as a semi-automatic rifle, the problem is that it can only be loaded with three arrows at a time, if it can be loaded with thirty arrows at a time, the power is not only ten times greater, or it can completely change the battlefield form of this era.

After firing a round of arrows, Li Mao had no choice but to throw away the crossbow, the enemy was close at hand, and he couldn't spare time to reload the "bullets". Li Mao picked up a wooden gun, found Pei Renjing's position, threw it with all his might, the gun missed, Pei Renjing fell off the horse again, the reason was that a guard who followed him caught a glimpse of Li Mao wanting to shoot a spear, turned left in panic and fled for his life, and accidentally sent the tip of the gun into Pei Renjing's horse's belly.

Mo Qi took the opportunity to return to Li Mao's side and swung his knife to cut off the arrow shaft on his arm, but the arrow was too late to be taken out. In this encounter, Mo Qi's supernatural power did not charge forward as in the past, but was able to always stay in the command position, and the impromptu disposal was generally decent.

"Taigong, Tubao, open the way!"

The rise of Mao Tai's fair killing, hearing Li Mao's call, turned the big knife and turned around to cut a bloody road.

The gate of the earthen fort has long been decayed, and if it can't withstand Mao Taigong's slash, it will become crumbs, and the two guards have already fled. When the pursuers arrived, Li Mao ordered Qingmo to lead the archers to occupy the top floor of the earthen fort, and released arrows from the arrow holes to prevent the pursuers from approaching, while looking for earth and stones to seal the gate. There are many discarded earth, stone and wood materials in the earthen fort, and everyone is carrying earth and stones to block the door.

Pei Renjing dragged a leg and chased outside the earthen fort, seeing that the earthen fort gate was decaying, Pei Renjing shouted and charged, Mao Taigong led seven or eight elite soldiers to kill head-on, a scuffle, the thieves were defeated again, Pei Renjing was furious, and ordered to release the arrows, regardless of the enemy and me, the thieves and thousands of arrows were fired, Mao Taigong was defeated by four arrows and retreated, the veteran lined the iron armor with a ephedra coat, and the defensive arrows were the most effective, so although there were many arrows, his life was not in serious trouble.

Pei Renjing saw that he couldn't win, he was furious, grabbed a knife, dragged his lame leg, held a wooden card and led the crowd to charge, there were still seven or eight zhang away from the earthen fort, he was shot down by an arrow from Qingmo, everyone rescued him, the arrow shot down into the abdominal cavity from the neck, blood spurted out from the mouth and nose, the injury was very terrifying, everyone did not dare to treat him, and he rushed back to see Pei Renyong.

Seeing that the enemy's main general was defeated, the crossbows and strong bows in the earthen fort were fired, and the arrows drank blood, and the corpses were instantly accumulated outside the earthen fort, but the Pei family army besieged the fort for several turns, but it was helpless. When the situation eased slightly, Li Mao ordered the number of people to be checked, and when he crossed the river, there were 98 people, but at the moment it was less than 40, a loss of more than half. There was no water, no food, no ordnance, no medicine in the earthen fort, no different from the Jedi. Li Mao ordered the magic power of Mo Qi to gather the water bladders, food bags, and medical bags carried by everyone, ration them according to the need, and encouraged everyone: "The Lord will fall, how can the generals not be saved, if it is fast, tomorrow, if it is slow, the day after tomorrow, the reinforcements will arrive, and you must muster up your spirit and wait for help." ”

Everyone said: "We are willing to follow the general, and we would rather die than give in." Li Mao said with a smile: "The one who seeks the dead is a reckless man, and the courage of a reckless man will eventually become a laughing stock, since ancient times, heroes are not wise and brave, tenacious and persevering, although they are in a desperate situation and can not be discouraged, although they can talk and laugh on the charcoal fire, even if they are trapped in a million army, they can be calm-headed and look for a glimmer of life." You remember that there is hope in life, but there is a glimmer of life, and you will never talk about life and death lightly. The people promised.

According to Li Mao's suggestion, Mo Qi Shentong divided the pro-soldier team into four shifts, taking turns to rest and take turns to garrison in order to save physical strength.

Outside the earthen fort, due to the main general Pei Renjing's serious injury, after two failed attacks, he stopped his movements, and divided 500 people to guard the earthen fort and besiege it without attacking. When it was dark, the fire on the south bank of the river was as bright as day, and suddenly the drums and horns sounded, as if organizing the river crossing.

There was jubilation in the earthen fort, thinking that reinforcements would arrive soon, but until dawn, not a single soldier crossed the river. At this moment, the water was exhausted, and a seriously wounded man screamed all night, and fell into a deep sleep at dawn, but he could not wake up for a long time. Mao Taigong lit the fire, baked a knife red on the fire, and dug out the arrow embedded in Li Mao's arm bone, Li Mao bit the cork in his mouth, and his underwear was sweaty like washing. The morale inside the earthen fort was extremely low. Yuan Tong, the deputy of the pro-soldier team, was killed on the river beach, and Mo Qi Shentong promoted the team leader Shi Kong to be the deputy of the team.

Shi Kong has been in the army for nearly ten years, has experienced no less than 80 times of large and small battles, and has experienced more than 80 times, he advised Li Mao: "While everyone still has strength, it is better to rush out in one go, if you wait for the arrows and water to run out, you can only sit and wait for death." Li Mao looked at Taigong Mao, and the veteran said in a sullen voice: "People fight with a sharp spirit to block and kill God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, once they slack off, they are not similar to a girl." ”

Li Mao nodded, and was about to speak, when suddenly a young pawn shouted, "Never! The pawn came out in line and saluted Li Mao: "They are prepared, the bows and crossbows are strong, and there are horse troops, which direction should we go out to break through?" It's a dead end! For today's plan, we can only stick to and wait for reinforcements, the bandits are not well trained, and the battle is only based on the courage of blood and spirit, and if they fall into their spirit, they are bound to be sluggish, and there are still hundreds of elites on the south bank of our army, and only half of them need to cross the river to defeat the bandits. ”

"Besides......" the pawn paused, "the main general is trapped here, which can not only attract the attention of the Pei family brothers and Zhu Jiu, but also stimulate the hearts of the soldiers to share the same hatred for the enemy." ”

Shi Kong saw that Li Mao's face was not very good, and hurriedly scolded: "Bastard, there is no place for you to talk here." He shouted loudly and ordered the pawn to apologize to Li Mao, Li Mao smiled and said: "Now you and I are in the same boat, like brothers in the same family, what can't you say?" But there is a plan to break the enemy, just talk about it. "Ishiku was inspired and very excited.

The pawn was still as calm as before, and said after careful consideration: "Eighteen miles west from Nanzhuang, there is a shoal called Sweater Chong, which can wade across the river!" If General Li and General Chen can find this place and cross the river at night, they can launch an attack at noon today, and then we should work together inside and outside, and we are not afraid that the Pei family brothers will not fall apart. ”
