Hou Jing's army marched eastward towards the Elite City, and 100,000 demon wolf soldiers galloped over, and soon came to a half-desert and half-meadow plain.

In the faint moonlight, I saw that there was a flat land in the middle of the front, a tidal flat with ditches to the north on the left, and a poplar forest belt in the south on the right. Looking at the Jingjing West Gate City to the east from afar, several fires were burning at the head of the city, and a red Tang sword flag was planted, hunting in the night breeze in the early morning, and several soldiers were patrolling back and forth, everything was as usual, and there seemed to be no special state of battle.

The little half of the moon in the sky was already floating obliquely in the western night sky, casting a dark shadow on the earth, which seemed very calm and peaceful. There was silence on the meadow, the chirping of insects in the grass on all sides, and the sound of frogs in the puddles to the north.

Hou Jing reined in the horse's head, observed the surroundings, and there was nothing unusual, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, and said in his heart: "Where did this elite bandit army go just now, didn't it have already retreated into the city?"

Looking at the sky, the sky was still dark, and the eastern horizon had not yet shown the pre-dawn glimmer, thinking that this gust of wind was chasing after it, and it had arrived outside the Exquisite City more than half an hour in advance.

He looked back at the sergeants, and after this gust of wind and lightning drove their horses to come, they were all tired, and then cried out, "Brothers, let's rest on this meadow for a while, and when the morning dawns on the city, we will dismount." "I ordered to rest on the spot, and wanted to wait until it was bright before attacking the city. An attendant handed over the drinking water.

"Obey the Lord's orders!"

The three armies obeyed the order, dismounted one after another, and rested on the spot to wait for the dawn.

The soldiers of the demon demon rested on the spot for about a stick of incense, and when they were bored, they suddenly saw a biao soldier, and in the dark night, they looked at the light of the torches, and there were about 3,000 people, in the sound of the horn of the charge, holding a red Tang sword, riding fast horses, shouting and shouting, and killed from the dense poplar forest in front.

The demon front army hurriedly mounted their horses to meet the battle.

Yelujing rode a black Dawan good horse, killed first, brandished an iron point steel spear, and killed all the more than a dozen demon soldiers in front. The elite warriors who followed behind rushed to kill. The demon front army did not panic, and immediately formed a formation to block the attacking enemy.

When Hou Jing's fierce generals Shi Tai and Hou Wen saw it, they drove forward, one carried a Leng Yan saw, and the other held a machete, and rushed towards Yelujing together, fighting with Yelujing.

Hou Jing's soldiers were all veterans with rich combat experience, and they soon formed a military formation and faced the elite righteous army. The rebels were soon outnumbered, turned their horses and withdrew into the forest. Seeing the enemy army rushing towards him, Yelujing was violent, but he was not in love with war, so he waved a false shot at the two tiger generals of the enemy army who came forward, turned his horse and left. Dozens of elite sergeants behind the palace were wrapped in Hou Jing's army who caught up, and were quickly chopped to death by random knives.

The elite rebel army led by Yelujing was vulnerable in front of the demon wolf soldiers.

Hou Wen looked at the direction of the escape of the elite rout, he was already arrogant, he held a machete in his right hand, raised his left hand, pointed at the fleeing elite beggar army, and laughed.

Shi Tai asked, "Why is General Hou laughing?"

"I smiled at Marshal Qiu and said that this exquisite Fanxiang fought against the heavens, and his miraculous skills were world-famous, and he was praised as a celestial. Wouldn't it be like driving lambs and fighting tigers and wolves with such an army like ants and caterpillars! Haha, you say, isn't this Fanxiang a big joke?

"This bandit army, that's just it, when I kill it, I can kill the general and capture the flag, lord, what's the matter?" Shi Tai turned his head to look at Hou Jing, his face showing pride.

"Brothers, whoever went to take the enemy's army, reward

Silver thousand taels!" Hou Jing listened to the proposal of his generals, looked at the sky, muttered for a long time, and said loudly.

Since Hou Jing started the army, the three armies have been invincible, and now he sees that although this elite army is clearly clothed and armored, it is vulnerable, and he thinks that Marshal Qiu is also too proud of the strength of this rabble, and Fanxiang Xiaoer is so a soldier and horse, it is really not worrying. Then there was no further hesitation, and shouted loudly for the three armies to attack.

Seeing that the rebels were about to flee, Hou Jing led the demon army to chase into the poplar forest, only to see that the forest was full of shadows and figures. The army poured in, bent their bows and arrows, and looked at the figures to shoot them, and in the sound of poof, the figures fell in response.

Wen Rui, a staff officer of the Chinese army, immediately stepped forward and admonished: "My lord, the trees in this forest are dense, obscure, and the torches can't be far away, so I'm afraid there will be an ambush!"

"The enemy army is so weak, there is no need to worry, not to mention, the total number of soldiers and civilians in this city is only thirty or forty thousand at most, even if there are many ambushes inside, what is the general afraid of,......!" Haha......"

At this time, the sky will not be bright, it is pitch black, the shade of the trees, there is no moonlight, the wind from the south from the Kunlun Snow Mountain, in the early morning cold frost, the torch in the sergeant's hand swayed, and it extinguished a lot.

Hou Jing was surrounded by all the troops and entered the middle of the forest, when he suddenly smelled a strange and pungent smell around him. Suddenly feeling ominous in his heart, he hurriedly ordered to withdraw from the forest, so that at this time, he only heard the sound of the trumpets of the charge around him, and the drums of war were also beating in the city, and the rumbling drums shook the sky, just as the forest also shook, and then he saw three gorgeous and brilliant fireworks flashing over the forest.

Thousands of crossbowmen who were ambushed around the forest showed up one after another, stretched their bows and arrows, and shot gunpowder arrows at the demon soldiers in the forest, one by one the fireballs carried the sound of whirring wind, igniting the flammable materials that had been pre-placed in this forest belt, and at the same time, the stone thrower that had been ambushed had already been laid out from the south poplar forest near the edge of the west city to throw thousands of fires, a fire of oil cannonballs carried the whirring wind, and accurately fell into this forest belt with a beautiful and mellow arc, blasting thousands of large wooden barrels hanging on the treetops several meters high, and barrels of oil were instantly in the air of this forest belt, treetops, the ground toppled over, splashed and spread, and ignited when touched.

In the flickering firelight all around, Hou Jing only saw clearly at this time that the area he was in was a forest belt only one mile wide and about one mile long, and a piece of white land fifty steps wide had been cut around this forest belt to prevent the fire from spreading, and the chopped poplar forest trunks and reed stacks were piled up into a firewood wall with a width of about seven or eight steps on three sides and a height of about one zhang or so, which contained sulfur flame nitrate and poured oil, all of which were flammable and explosive. At this time, the elite ambush soldiers poured into the white ground on three sides, bent their bows and arrows together, and rockets flew like locusts.

The firewood wall soon burst into flames, and the flames rose several feet long, enclosing the forest belt into a rectangular wall of fire, like a flaming city made of firewood. And this rectangular firewood besieged city, just a few miles away from the west wall of the exquisite ancient city, parallel to the south, the white land cut by the forest is close to the swamp, and the hidden elite rebel army in the white ground has already appeared, bending the bow and arrows, fighting against the water against the demon wolf soldiers, not afraid of death.

Hou Jing stood in the forest under the support of all the troops, looking up at the superb soldiers waving their flags and shouting at the head of the city and the exquisite people who came to defend the city, and in the twilight of the morning, he could almost see the excitement on their faces.

In the sky, every quarter of a pillar of incense, thousands of oil shells or gunpowder shells accurately fell into the firewood siege that Hou Jingjun had fallen into. The pre-planted gunpowder on the ground was ignited by the fire, and iron pieces of iron flew out on the spot.

The soldiers of the demons who entered the forest were all wearing leather armor, and as soon as they were dipped in oil, they immediately burst into flames, one after another, and they were crowded and pulled by each other, and soon burned into a piece. The sergeants on fire jumped around, and they burned into black charcoal in an instant, and some demons were directly roasted into a black smoke by the fire, and their souls were destroyed.

Hou Jing was horrified, hurriedly turned around and withdrew towards the way he came, the army was in chaos, how could they withdraw for a while, at the same time, the sergeants who did not enter the forest were being shot by an army outside the forest with gunpowder and oil rockets, and they fell one after another, and the remaining soldiers had to retreat towards the forest. It turned out that it was Fan Xiang who had ambushed 10,000 people in the puddle in the north in advance, and only waited for most of the enemy troops to enter the encirclement in the forest, then appeared out of the puddle, and used rockets and explosives to shoot the enemy rear team step by step, and then gradually placed Luchai and Zhuma on the edge of the poplar forest to prevent the enemy troops in the encircled forest from rushing out.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he braved the arrows, fearless of death, and rushed into the elite righteous army in the arrow array, slashing fiercely, and in an instant, there were 100 volunteers who fell under the swords of these dozens of brave generals, and the arrow array of the righteous army was scattered.

Fan Xiang commanded in the formation, saw that the dozens of fierce generals of the enemy army were brave, so he urged the Tulou Shenju, shouted, and led the twenty-eight sharp soldiers to rush forward, facing the dozens of brave people, the halberd picked the knife and split, the twenty-eight sharp soldiers were also brave and incoherent, each bravely forward, and the enemy generals who rushed up to the enemy were caught and killed.

Fan Xiang hurriedly drove the earth mole god horse in front, and none of the opponents encountered could go through a round under him, drawing the dragon and the heavenly halberd to slash the place, and several enemy fierce generals had died under the horses one by one. When the rest of the enemy saw this, they did not dare to move forward, and retreated one after another.

Fan Xiang waved the dragon and shouted: "All the soldiers listen to the order, and don't kill the enemy soldiers!"

In the sound of the drums and horns of the charge, the soldiers of the elite beggar army outside the forest heard it, and each bow and arrow were set up, and then another round of gunpowder arrows flew into the forest like locusts, and in an instant, the soldiers of the army behind the enemy fell again.

In the early hours of the morning, the wind blowing from the snow-capped mountains suddenly rose, and I saw that the fire in the forest was suddenly burning.

Hou Jing was trapped in the poplar forest, and when Fang wanted to organize troops to rescue him, the fire broke out again on all sides. The wind was tight, the trees in the forest were all on fire, and the shouts were loud.

Hou Jing's demon wolf army trampled on each other, and the number of dead was unknown. Some brave men rode horses, jumped up, and wanted to jump over this wall of fire, but the elite rebels in the surrounding forests were killed, and I don't know how many military horses, each bent their bows and arrows, but saw that the gunpowder crossbow arrows rushed into this forest belt with flames like firebirds, and the enemy soldiers who jumped in the air fell back to the ground one after another. Occasionally, the sergeants who stepped on the fire were all slashed to death by a group of wall-breaking soldiers with Mo knives outside the forest belt, or the flames on their bodies burned, and they fell into the wall of fire in an instant, crackling and burning, the situation was very appalling and miserable.

The demon army was in a hurry, and the screams came one after another, becoming more and more chaotic.

Hou Jing hurriedly rode his horse and wanted to retreat out of the forest, when the fire in the forest belt rose in the sky.

The whole forest belt shines like the white sun.

Hou Jing led dozens of horses, turned his horse to the north and walked outside the forest.

The front was stopped by his own sergeant, Hou Jing was shocked, and slashed the soldiers in front of him with his sword, killing a bloody way out.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout outside the forest, and a Biao army horse was besieging and killing the soldiers outside the forest, and it was Fan Xiang who led 10,000 brave soldiers to block the forest, shouting and slashing.

Hou Jing saw the endless light of the wildfires, the corpses overlapped, stuffed with the way, and the sergeants scurried, and his heart couldn't help but panic. Suddenly, in the firelight, the number of generals led hundreds of horsemen to kill a way, and fixed their eyes on it, it was Shi Tai and Hou Wen, the demon generals under them.

Shi Tai and Hou Wen saw Hou Jing and shouted loudly: "Lord, I will open a way out for you to kill, and the flames are raging today, so you can't stay for a long time." The lord hurried out of the forest. "Hundreds of horsemen wielded swords and slashed their own soldiers, protecting Hou Jing and killing them out of the forest.
