At 22 o'clock in the evening, the scout army came back quickly and reported that the 50,000 troops of the Devil Army had set off at 14 o'clock in the afternoon and marched along the line of the Holy Sepulchre Mountain from west to east in the desert, and it was expected that the enemy's 3,000 forwards would arrive at the Holy Sepulchre Mountain at about 22 o'clock in the evening.

Pig Qiang led 3,000 cavalry, quietly lurking on the eastern slope of the mushroom-shaped Holy Sepulchre, the Holy Sepulchre Mountain is not high, nor steep, the mountain extends from west to east, about 1,000 meters above sea level.

At a little after twenty-two o'clock in the evening, General Zhu Jianqiang looked at an army of about 3,000 men, with sporadic torches, heavy bomb throwers, and oxen pulling horses, and slowly entered the foot of the western slope of the Holy Sepulchre, and then scattered among the flat sands at the foot of the mountain, as if they were already beginning to make a short rest.

Then he instructed all the soldiers to light thousands of bonfires along the line at the foot of the eastern slope of the Holy Sepulchre, spread them far away, and stand on the top of the Holy Sepulchre, and look at the Pingsha wilderness at the foot of the mountain.

The sergeants were ready, and General Pig left 500 soldiers on the top of the hill to bend bows and arrows in preparation for a response, and led 2,500 cavalry to swoop down from the top of the hill and enter the enemy camp at the foot of the western slope. The enemy was waiting to rest and recuperate, and when the whole army was fighting, the elite 2,500 cavalry had been dispersed into five teams, interspersed back and forth from the entire barracks, and all the waterwheels and water bags on the logistics baggage were destroyed.

The pig led the soldiers strongly, did not engage with the enemy army, rushed out of the enemy camp, and went straight to his own mountain.

The enemy shouted, and more than 1,000 enemy troops chased along the hillside on horseback.

The elite soldiers on the top of the hill shot arrows one after another, and the arrows fell from a high place, and the enemy troops in front of them were shot and fell from their horses. As soon as the pursuing soldiers were blocked, Zhu Jianqiang led more than 2,400 cavalry to return smoothly, and only lost more than a dozen sergeants.

Pig Qiang led nearly 3,000 warriors to hold on to the top of the mountain. From the foot of the western slope of the mountain, from the bottom to the top, the devil army charged six times in a row, but they were all blocked by the three thousand warriors who fought bravely with crossbow arrows, and on the western slope of the Holy Sepulchre, the corpses were piled up, and the enemy suffered heavy losses.

After holding on like this for more than an hour, suddenly the drums in the devil's barracks sounded, and a biao army horse rushed up again, holding a strong shield and holding an iron halberd.

Under the flying firelight, I saw that the first person was wearing iron armor, waving a big lance, and only wrapped a scarf around his head, and rushed up bravely.

The pig shouted, "Throw, throw, throw, smash, smash, smash this turtle, turtle, grandson!" When the sergeants heard this, they all threw down the boulder, only to see a chaotic stone rolling down, and smashing the group of devil soldiers down the mountain.

The ironclad devil warrior flashed several rocks in a row, and he was about to grab to the top of the mountain in a few steps. Pig Jianqiang led hundreds of soldiers to rush down to kill, flanking on all sides, the ironclad devil warriors were very brave, roaring loudly, holding a big lance to pounce up, facing the elite soldiers, between the moments, slashing over several soldiers, surrounded by the army, rampage, as if entering no one's land.

Pig Jianqiang knew that this would not be done, so he sent several people with several long ropes in a narrow place to intercept them, but the devil slashed them with a knife and slashed several soldiers. Seeing that he couldn't stop it, the pig shouted strongly, straightened forward, and fought with the fierce general.

The fierce general is really powerful, a few moves will force the pig to retreat, the big lance is wielded, the move is not far from the pig's strong point, one is more ruthless than the other. Seeing that they were invincible, several soldiers saw that the pig's life was in danger, so they shouted in unison, and jumped from the top of the mountain to the devil and threw himself into the body.

The fierce general picked up the big lance, split the two of them with one lance, and several other elite warriors saw the opportunity and hugged the fierce general. Slowly, in the middle of the time, the pig strong back against the mountain rock, a fork of the fierce stabbing to the fierce general, is stabbing between the waist and abdomen of the fierce general, the fierce general opened his eyes, shouted, one hand tightly grasped the pig's strong iron fork, one hand raised the lance, set the last breath, do all the strength

, slashing hard at the pig strong.

A demon soldier saw it on the sidelines, hurriedly rushed over, covered the pig strong, blocked the blow, and died on the spot, turning into a puff of black smoke, and his soul was scattered.

The pig stood up strongly, threw the fierce fork to the ground, drew his saber, and rushed forward, cutting off the fierce general's head with a single sword. Stretched out his hand to lift the head, wiped a handful of blood splashed on his face, and said: "This, this, this turtle, turtle, turtle grandson, almost took the life of the old, the old, the old, the old, the old, the old, the old, the old, the old, the old, the old, He raised his leg and kicked the devil's body hard, and his heart palpitated.

After this wave of charges, the devil soldiers have not made the eighth charge for the time being.

After a while, I saw the white flag shaking under the mountain in the distance, the horn sounding in the camp, and the devil soldiers moving again. Hundreds of guards in the enemy camp waved long knives and escorted a general to the foot of the mountain, and 800 ironclad troops stood on both sides.

Seeing the bravery of the enemy, Akhul, the enemy's vanguard officer, personally led the ironclad army to outflank him from both flanks. These are the elite soldiers of the forward battalion, and the two commanders are holding long swords and halberds, and they are rushing uphill bravely. Pig Jianqiang ordered all the rocks on the top of the mountain to be thrown at the enemy troops at the bottom of the mountain, killing dozens of enemy soldiers, and the enemy troops slowed down, and rushed straight to the top of the mountain without regard for their lives. The sergeants fired their arrows like locusts at the enemy, and several of them were hit by arrows, but the enemy was heavily armoured and had a small chance of hitting the weak spot. The ironclads rushed to the top of the mountain.

Pig Jianqiang saw that the time for defense was coming, so he ordered the whole army to retreat, and everyone rode their war horses, urged the good horses under their crotches, and galloped eastward. Dozens of elite warriors stayed at the top of the mountain, not giving an inch, very brave, fighting with the enemy troops who chased up the slope, and were wrapped in hundreds of devil ironclad soldiers, all of whom were killed.

Ahur stood on the top of the mountain, condescendingly, seeing the stars under the mountain, and in the camp, there were many bonfires, stretching out, looking far away, I don't know how many enemy troops were stationed under the mountain, it seemed to be the main force of the enemy, and he was quite frightened.

At this time, seeing that the enemy army guarding the mountain also ran back to the camp at the foot of the mountain, and it was dark at night, he was afraid of being ambushed, so he Mingjin withdrew his troops and waited for the main force of the Chinese army to come.

A few hours later, it was almost nine o'clock in the morning, the scorching sun was high, the main force of the enemy army arrived, and the two enemy forces joined forces in one place, in the Taklamakan Desert, in the direction of the Black Oil Mountain, the army came towards the Jingzhu City.

The heat in the desert was unbearable, and the enemy army carried a large number of heavy siege equipment, and marched slowly on the desert, until 23 o'clock in the evening before reaching the Black Oil Mountain.

Nangong Yi, the commander of the unified army, was overjoyed when he saw that Heiyou Mountain had arrived, held a horse whip, pointed to the exquisite red flag Tang Dao Daxu planted on the ground by Heiyou Mountain, and shouted: "Whoever captures this enemy army Daxu will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver." ”

The ironclad army of the front army scrambled to be the first, shouting, and rushed to the base of Black Oil Mountain on the desert.

The three generals of Meiling Sanzhang were stationed in Heiyoushan, and when they saw the enemy coming, they gathered the soldiers and the garrison of Heiyoushan, in groups of three, raised torches, pulled out the red flag, and went up with the army, and the front army of the devil soldiers who rushed up met with the short soldiers, and after a round, they retreated to the east in a panic, and threw away the lambs and some ordnance materials along the way. The enemy forces dismounted and fought for the supplies left on the road.

Nangong Yi, the marshal of the unified army, was very angry and ordered the guards to kill several rebellious soldiers who were fighting for supplies. The three armies slowed down, and ordered the quartermaster logistics officer to organize personnel to collect all the materials abandoned by the enemy along the way.

With such a delay, the army was delayed for more than half an hour. During this period, the scout army sent out from time to time reported the state of defense of the Elite City.

The Beigong encirclement army continued to move forward slowly.

The Meiling Sanzhang brothers led their troops back again, intercepted the enemy's forward and rushed to kill, and in less than two rounds, they were defeated again. In the darkness of the night, the road was littered with the discarded objects of the elite soldiers, and lambs bleated and ran back and forth on the dunes in front of them. When the enemy soldiers saw that the enemy was vulnerable, the officers and men of the various armies laughed and laughed, all of them were arrogant and unscrupulous, and they no longer cared about the soldiers who were competing for supplies.

The Beigong Devil Army is here

In the heart of the Taklamakan Desert, the march followed the route of the elite defeated soldiers who abandoned their supplies.

At this time, it was already early in the morning of the next day, the army marched to a sand dune, and the front outpost rode out of the sand to see hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled Beigong servant soldiers hiding in the sand in front of them, so they arrested and took them to report to the commander of the Chinese army.

Nangong Yi saw that these hundreds of soldiers were unkempt, and the uniforms of the Beigong servant army were all stained with blood, so he asked, "Where did you come from, and who is the leader?" Several of the routs pointed at a red-faced man with a beard behind him.

Several guards came up and escorted Fan Kun up and knelt in front of Nangong Yi.

"Report to the general, in Xia Fan Kun, is a thousand-commander. We are all the sweeping troops of the Beigong Servant Army stationed in southern Xinjiang, and a few days ago, we encountered the Elite Righteous Army halfway and were captured by them. Today, for some reason, there was chaos in the city, many people left the city, and there was chaos in the prison camp, so I and hundreds of others took advantage of the chaos to kill the prison guards and escaped, so they hid here in order to avoid the pursuit of the elite. Fan Kun said with a wince.

"Yes, you have the credentials of the Beigong Servants. ”

"Oh, I'm still here, hidden in the upper of my shoe, and not searched by the Elite Rebels. Fan Kun took off a shoe, fumbled on the upper for a while, and took out a small piece of iron, and handed it to the enemy commander Nangong Yi.

The commander of Nangong took it and looked at it, there was an eagle-shaped pattern at the top of it, and the words "Fan Kun, the commander of the Southern Xinjiang No. 9527 of the Beigong Servant Army" were engraved in the center, so he handed it back to Fan Kun, beckoned him to sit down, and the entourage handed over a small leather bag of water.

Fan Kun drank most of the leather bag in one go, wiped his mouth, thanked the commander Nangong Yi, and asked, "Where are you going to fight?"

"Well, yes, we're going to conquer what you call the Elite City. ”

"Oh, the general is going there to fight, then we don't have to go, we still have to go back to Ronglu City to resume our lives, so let's leave first. ...... Thank you, General. ”

"Don't worry, it's getting late now, why don't you go south when you go back to Ronglu City?" Nangong Yi pondered for a while, a little puzzled, and asked.

"Report to the general, a few days ago, the soldiers and horses assembled to the west at the east gate and the Beigong servant army fought once, and all these soldiers and horses were annihilated. At present, the east gate and the south gate are blocked, and only the west gate is because there is a garrison in the Black Oil Mountain, so this direction is not blocked, and it is relatively safe, so in order to survive, we have to borrow Micheng first, and then return to the original station. ”

Nangong Yiding looked at Fan Kun for a while, his face was cloudy, and then, with a smile, he said: "You are not in a hurry, this time, we will go out with our army, we are not very familiar with this exquisite terrain, you can stay with us as a guide." ”

"Well, but we have to go back as soon as possible. ”

"Don't worry, it's not too late to fight this battle with us first and then recover your life, haha, I can also avenge you. Nangong Yi stood up and smiled heartily.

"Well, it's better to be respectful than to obey orders, just according to the general's wishes. Fan Kun also stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Please take care of the general." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. ...... Now tell me about the situation in the Exquisite City, and you must be more detailed. ”

"Okay, to the best of my knowledge. ”

Fan Kun described the current situation of Jingjue City rigorously, and when it came to the section of Fanxiang, it was true and false, and it was exaggerated a lot.

At this time, a scout army captain came in, attached to the ear of the commander Nangong Yi, and whispered a few words, making a brief report on the information of Fan Kun and others investigated, the city guards and the escape of the city residents, and the situation described by Fan Kun was basically true.

Nangong Yi glanced at Fan Kun and the generals in the tent, pondered for a while, and said, "The army is ready to go to the Elite City for breakfast." Ha ha. ”

The army marched all the way in the direction Fan Kun had guided.
