Xiang Tiangu Fan and the others fell into the bow and crossbow battle array like a tiger descending from the mountain. Eighteen long knives swept through thousands of armies, bringing up layers of blood mist. In the narrow passage of the canyon, these hapless crossbowmen didn't even have a place to hide. Many people were armed with longbows and didn't even have time to draw defensive weapons, and they were killed by long knives.

Just when Hu Tianzhuang was stunned for a moment, a dark blue light shot towards him. Hu Tianzhuang hurriedly flicked the spear in his hand, and Duan Lang's Xuantie spear penetrated a personal soldier behind Hu Tianzhuang with a 'poof'. Duan Lang stepped on the crowd, kicked suddenly, and slashed at Hu Tianzhuang with the war knife in his hand.

Hu Tianzhuang was wondering where these evil stars came from, and when he saw Duan Lang's war knife falling, he hurriedly raised his spear and stabbed it. Duan Lang didn't expect Hu Tianzhuang to react so quickly, if the other party raised the gun rung, this would be in Duan Lang's arms. Unexpectedly, Hu Tianzhuang was also a ruthless man who was good at working hard, so he didn't open Duan Lang's knife at all, but stabbed Duan Lang's throat with a shot. The gun is longer than the knife, if Duan Lang doesn't draw the knife to resist, he will be shot first.

Duan Lang hurriedly raised his leg and kicked it, kicked it on the barrel of the gun, and moved his body sideways, and the two sides failed each other with one move. As soon as Duan Lang's feet hit the ground, he passed under Hu Tianzhuang's horse's belly with a pop, and the war knife in his hand stabbed diagonally upward, inserting it along the gap in Hu Tianzhuang's armor. If it is said that the battle is on the horse, Hu Tianzhuang may not be left behind. But Duan Lang himself is good at this kind of close-quarters killing, not to mention that Hu Tianzhuang is holding a spear, and it is very inconvenient to fight in close combat.

With a pop, Hu Tianzhuang screamed, and his body suddenly rolled out sideways. Duan Lang's knife did not hit the vital point, and Hu Tianzhuang's body rolled off the war horse to the side. When Duan Lang wanted to kill again, many personal soldiers behind Hu Tianzhuang swarmed up. Duan Lang also rolled on the spot, took out the Xuantie spear from the pro-soldier just now, and swept it out with the gun as a stick.

In this short moment, the crossbowmen were killed, and the main general was also shot off the horse, and the Nanping army suddenly became chaotic.

Less than a stone's throw behind Duan Lang, Liu Xusheng took about 400 people who could only fight, and opened his mouth in amazement.

"It's Duan Shuai~!"

"That's the eighteen slashes of our calendar~."

"Duan Shuai has arrived~, brothers, Duan Shuai has arrived~!"

Many people cheered excitedly, and the originally lifeless shield array seemed to be injected with vitality. Liu Xusheng shuddered suddenly, as if he had woken up from a hallucination.

"Everyone obeyed the order, quickly withdrew the shield array, mounted the bow and crossbow ~ rushed forward fifteen steps, and fired three consecutive shots diagonally upwards to kill the rear of the enemy army."

As soon as Liu Xusheng gave the order, the originally extremely tired guards threw down their shields and ran forward one by one. The men unloaded their crossbows from their waists as they ran, howled and shot them into the air at forty-five degrees.

Whoosh~ The rain of arrows overflowed Duan Lang and the others, and shot directly at the cavalry behind the bow and crossbow array of the Nanping army. Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Liu Xusheng to give the order, the guards drew their swords and shouted and rushed over.

The front of the Nanping army was already in chaos, and apart from the screams, it was impossible to organize an effective counterattack. Duan Lang and the eighteen guards descended the mountain like fierce tigers, and the iron spear and long knife in their hands were waved with bloody light.

Hu Tianzhuang covered his abdomen with his hands, and Hu Tianzhuang, who was in shock, had not yet figured out how many people had come from the other party, and hurriedly ordered when he saw this situation.

"The rear team changed to the front team, and evacuated ~ evacuated quickly."

Hu Tianzhuang gave an order, and the gong sounded rapidly for evacuation. The army behind did not know what was happening, so they could only turn their horses around with the military order and quickly run towards the original road.

Hu Tianzhuang was helped onto a war horse by his own soldiers, and the army squirmed and began to retreat. On the side of the Sky Survey Army, Fang Yan with only a few dozen war horses and cavalry could also follow and kill. Seeing Duan Lang's appearance, Fang Yan was so excited that she really wanted to cry in his arms.

Duan Lang waved his spear and retreated the Nanping guards in front of him, turned over Hu Tianzhuang's war horse, and shouted loudly behind him.

"The infantry battalion packed up the mess and stood by, personally participated in the army, captured the war horse, and rushed to kill with the commander."

Xiang Tian and the others were stained red with the blood of the enemy all over their bodies, and one by one they captured the war horses in the chaos, and the eighteen guards moved forward like evil stars. The sick guards of the Sky Survey Army also howled and cheered, and the entire canyon was filled with shouts of killing. In this case, the Nanping army didn't know how many reinforcements the other party came, and immediately evacuated desperately and quickly.

Duan Lang and the others, plus Fang Yan's dozens of cavalry guards, pursued all the way for nearly 20 miles, and Duan Lang ordered to stop the pursuit with a horizontal gun. He knew that he had just bluffed the other party just now, and if he chased after him and waited for the other party to understand that he was just going to kill him. What Duan Lang had to do now was to hurry back and discuss how to stop the enemy's counterattack.

Duan Lang came to Fang Yan's side, looking at Fang Yan's tired and haggard face, Duan Lang couldn't help but want to touch her cheeks. It's just that as soon as Duan Lang stretched out his hand, Fang Yan shyly hit the horse and dodged on one side.

"Silly girl, there is a lot of war in Wuliang City, you shouldn't come." Duan Lang said distressedly.

Fang Yan glared resentfully, and wanted to refute a few words, but seeing Duan Lang's tattered armor and red-stained robe, Fang Yan hurriedly asked.

"Stinky guy, are you hurt?"

Duan Lang smiled, revealing his white teeth, "Fortunately, I ran over the mountains and mountains all night, and finally arrived in time." Thanks to Da Fei's direction, otherwise I really don't know which section of the road you are in. Let's go, let's go back first. ”

Duan Lang led everyone to join the army, and many people in the canyon shouted excitedly with tears. Seeing Duan Lang, Zhang Ruming didn't care about his glorious image, and hugged Duan Lang and cried. He cried for those brave brothers, as if this was the only way to vent the grievances in his heart.

Seeing Zhang Ruming crying like a child, Fang Yan also had a sour nose, "Brother Duan, let's Lord Shangguan, he is good." If it weren't for him all the way, I'm afraid we wouldn't be alive now. ”

Duan Lang looked at Zhang Ruming in surprise, he knew that Fang Yan rarely praised people, and it seemed that Zhang Ruming had really won everyone's appreciation.

Duan Lang was afraid of Zhang Ruming, "Dead fatty, this is like the boss of our Sky Survey Army." Don't cry just yet, we still have a lot to do. ”

Zhang Ruming raised his head and wiped his nose, "Paralyzed, I haven't felt so bad when my father died." Brother, beat those Nanping people hard for me, the brothers are watching from the sky. ”

"Big brother!" Duan Lang shouted sincerely, "Don't worry, the brothers will be blind." ”

Zhang Ruming screamed twice at the sky, and let out a sigh, "Cry out, my heart is much better." Brother, don't worry, I'll leave it to you, I'll go to sleep. Paralyzed, Lao Tzu has never been so sleepy. ”

Duan Lang squeezed out a smile, and then calmed everyone. Looking at the tired brothers, Duan Lang felt very uncomfortable. These soldiers who used to be like wolves and tigers have now become like this. However, Duan Lang knew that it was not the time for the brothers to rest, and everyone knew that the Nanping army would soon counterattack.

"Duan Shuai, the brothers can still insist, you can give the order." Liu Xusheng stood up tiredly.

"My lord, let's not leave, don't care about us anymore, remember to help us avenge."

"My lord, let's go~ We, even if we are lying on the ground, can help you stop it."

Many weak brothers looked at Duan Lang pleadingly one by one. When the time comes, they know that they have to give up in order for the few to escape. Otherwise, no one will be able to escape.

Duan Lang raised his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to be quiet, "Brothers, don't be discouraged, Zhou Long and Zhou Hu are rushing towards this side quickly." Let's not go, let's fight Nanping Xiaoer here. Rest assured, as long as I, Duan Lang, can still stand, I will never leave any brother behind. ”

After Duan Lang finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xusheng and said, "Xusheng, gather the brothers who still have combat effectiveness, and let's set up defenses on the spot." I have asked Da Fei to inform Zhou Long and Zhou Hu that even if the war horse is exhausted, he can't rest, and he must come as soon as possible. ”

"Duan Shuai, the brothers are too tired, let's let everyone rest for a while." Liu Xusheng looked at Duan Lang in embarrassment, not to mention those guards, even he was a little unable to stand.

"Absolutely not, I'm afraid the time is very urgent, and the defense must be set up immediately. Otherwise, when the Nanping army reacts, it will definitely be a tragic killing. ”

After Duan Lang finished speaking, he looked at the crowd and said loudly, "Brothers, if you still have the strength, stand up for me." ”

In the ranks, the guards straightened up one by one and stood up one after another. Among them, some people even staggered, fighting hard to prevent themselves from falling. Duan Lang saw that it was okay, there were more than 1,000 people.

"Let's work hard, in order to survive, we must set up defenses. Now, I'm going to divide the personnel into two parts. Some of them, who are relatively strong in combat, rest on the spot, recuperate enough to wait for the battle. The other group of weaker bodies must be strong to cut down trees, sharpen branches, and arrange layers of defenses in the passages. Brothers, so that everyone can get out alive, please. Duan Lang said, bowing deeply to everyone.

"Brother Duan, let me take someone to cut down." Fang Yan asked.

Duan Lang nodded, although he was very reluctant to work hard for Fang Yan. But in this case, Duan Lang had nothing to say. Fang Yan hurriedly selected a group of people who could still climb, and quickly started to climb from the places that were easy to climb on both sides. As for the eighteen guards and those combatants who did not have diarrhea, Duan Lang ordered them to rest on the spot, and they must recover their strength as soon as possible. Anyway, Duan Lang and the others have also been running around all day and night, and they must recover their strength.

After a short break, quite a few people in the group stood up again. Without orders, they began to collect arrows and crossbows discarded by the Nanping army. In less than half a pillar of incense, Fang Yan and the others threw down the first batch of trees from the cliff.

Duan Lang ordered people to sharpen the branches of the trees and tie them together with ropes. Duan Lang began to set traps in the canyon in the same way as hunting fierce beasts in the mountains and forests. Hu Tianzhuang's injury bought Duan Lang and others a lot of time. When Duan Lang saw that the basic layout in the canyon was satisfied, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After more than an hour of recuperation, many brothers are in much better spirits than just now. Duan Lang listened to Liu Xusheng's report and learned that the inner ghost of Wuliang City was the extremely people-friendly Mo Langzhong, and Duan Lang was also surprised.

Duan Lang sighed, "Lao Liu, thanks to your being more cautious, otherwise these people wouldn't have been able to get out of Wuliang City at all." This time, I was also too careless, I always felt that our Sky Survey Army was strong in combat, and I dared to block the Xining army from a long distance. Unexpectedly, the lack of experience was blocked by them on the side of the mountain pass. ”

"Duan Shuai, brothers won't blame you. However, through this escape, I felt that the cavalry alone was too single, and the combat effectiveness of using cavalry to defend the city was far inferior to that of the infantry battalion. Looks like we're going to have to develop a foot combat team. Liu Xu ascended.

Duan Lang thought for a while, "If you can get out alive, go back and train the patrol guards of Wuliang City well." They don't need to go out of the city to kill, they just need to train the city defense, which is also a good force. If we go deep into the enemy's war zone, we can only use them. In addition, in the next step, I plan to take a large group of people to Blue Lake City, and first break through the north-south passage. ”

Liu Xusheng nodded, "Duan Shuai, there is one more thing, you must promise me." ”

"What's the matter?" Duan Lang looked at Liu Xusheng strangely.

Liu Xusheng looked at Duan Lang with a serious gaze and said softly, "Duan Lang, although we haven't known each other for a long time, we have experienced a lot of things, big and small. In my heart, since you can live and die with my black armor guard in Yushan Pass, I will regard you as my brother and relative. To be honest, no matter how calm you are, I know it's hard to get out alive this time. I beg you now, as an old brother, that if you can't keep it, you must leave. ”

Duan Lang was just about to refute, but Liu Xusheng raised his hand to stop him, "You don't have to say it, I know what you have to say." Brother Duan Lang, no one treats you as a coward, and you don't have to bear the guilt of abandoning your brother. Don't forget that our Sky Patrol is not only this little man, but there are many more brothers waiting for you to lead them. The Sky Patrol can't do without you, and you must leave alive. ”

Duan Lang looked at Liu Xusheng's sincere gaze, hesitated slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, at the last moment, I will kill it." ”

Liu Xusheng smiled, "Liar, I know from your eyes that you are lying to me." Forget it, it's useless to talk too much, if you still want to avenge your brothers, then get out alive. ”

Duan Lang patted Liu Xusheng on the shoulder, "Let's fight first, if we can hold out through tonight, we have a great hope of living." It originally took three days to get here from Jiashan Pass, but if Zhou Long and Zhou Hu were desperately hurrying, they should be able to reach it in more than two days. ”

Duan Lang said and stood up, "I'll go and set it up and see if there are any loopholes." ”

Liu Xusheng nodded, looking at the silence of the passage opposite, he also felt a little strange. The Nanping army has not been killed for so long, and it is said that even ordinary soldiers will judge that Duan Lang did not bring many men and horses. But why I haven't been here for so long, I can't help but wonder a little.

In the passage of Changlin Canyon, Hu Tianzhuang wrapped a strip of cloth around his body and briefly treated his wounds. Although this knife did not hurt the vital point, it also made Hu Tianzhuang lose a lot of blood. He had already judged that the other party was only a few people, but Hu Tianzhuang had to order a rest. Don't forget that they had traveled more than Liu Xusheng's army for one night, and after arriving at Wuliang City from Guxin County, they chased and killed without even stopping. After two nights and a day of long-distance running, Hu Tianzhuang was also extremely tired. What's more, the bow battalion lost almost half of it, and the momentum of the entire army was very low.

The Nanping army repaired in situ until noon after burying the pot and cooking, the Nanping army was considered to have regained its vitality. Hu Weilin put on his armor again, and this time he decided not to give his opponent a chance.

"Sons, Da Xia's children are waiting for us in front of us, and we will kill Lao Tzu fiercely. Except for the dead bald scoop, the others waited for no one to stay. Use their heads to honor our brothers. ”

"Kill~!"

The Nanping army shouted in unison, and the momentum of the entire army was suddenly aroused.

Hu Tianzhuang looked at the soldiers, from the initial light enemy to the morale of the other party. After a short period of repair, the ferocity of the Nanping army was raised again.

War is cruel, and no matter which side it is, it will sacrifice its own compatriots with the blood of the other side. Hu Tianzhuang thought so, and so did Duan Lang.

This temporary repair between the two sides seems to take a long time. But for Duan Lang and others, it was short, extremely short.
