Chapter 148: Fighting Security Again (3)

In the chaotic battlefield, people constantly let out the most primitive howls, and the swarming thieves and horses were repelled again and again by the officers and soldiers. However, because of the limited combat strength of the official army, they were always unable to defeat the thieves in one fell swoop. As a result, the thieves were able to meet each other, and the new troops withstood the attacks of the officers and troops, while the routs were constantly pulling down the rear for regrouping.

It was very rare for the officers and soldiers to be able to fight to this point, and the disparity in numbers made it impossible for the thieves to organize a large-scale offensive in their entirety. It is also with the efforts of outstanding military attachés in the official army that the thieves and horses have also appeared in critical situations on several occasions.

Previously, Zhang Mengjin, the garrison of Ningsai, led the guards and launched a swift assault and successfully rescued his avant-garde Ma Xiangzhong. After that, Zhao Wankui arrived with follow-up people, and with their efforts, they repeatedly defeated the thieves. The brave soap eagle Zhang Mengguang even killed a thief before and almost drove the thief's troops into a corner.

However, the continuous advance of the thieves' follow-up men and horses finally turned the situation on the battlefield around little by little. Although the officers and soldiers were well-trained and brave and good at fighting, they were never able to settle the situation under the entanglement of thieves and elite soldiers.

There was even a crisis, Zhang Mengjin's war horse was shot to death by thieves, and Zhang Mengjin, who fell to the ground, was almost surrounded and killed by the thieves' infantry.

Fortunately, Li Dan stepped forward to rescue in time, and he and another Chinese army guard, Liu Shiyao, successfully killed several besieging thieves. Then after Li Dan gave up his war horse to the big boss, he successfully captured a thief war horse and continued to fight, and finally the battle situation did not take a sharp turn.

The reason why Li Dan was able to successfully rescue Zhang Mengjin was that in addition to his courage and fearlessness, the main reason was that the new troops of the official army who were outflanked from the left arrived in time.

The two leaders, Zhou Shaoteng and Fan Shunjiang, quickly assaulted and successfully defeated an organized bandit army, causing chaos among the bandits, so no other bandit troops near Zhang Mengjin and others quickly arrived to encircle them.

Now the officers and troops who have once again gathered their combat strength are ready to organize an offensive again, break into the command center of the thieves in one fell swoop, and completely crush the enemy in front of them.

Zhang Mengjin, the big boss, has already joined Fan Shunjiang and concentrated the combat power in his hands. Zhang Mengjin even ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates, and personally rushed to the front of the team and loudly encouraged all the officers and soldiers to fight hard. As a member of the Chinese Army's pro-guard team, Liu Shiyao also followed behind the big boss and rushed bravely.

Since taking refuge in Jin Dingshan and his gang, Liu Shiyao has gradually gained the trust of the big boss Zhang Mengjin with many excellent performances.

And before that, the leader of Xiucai told the big boss that Artemisia Peak may have planted eyeliner next to Zhang Mengjin. So after some investigation and rectification, Liu Shiyao was promoted again, replacing an eyeliner who was found out and became the personal guard of the big boss Zhang Mengjin.

Liu Shiyao, who has received many rewards, is completely different from his previous identity as a thief at this time. He is now an elite family with a slight net worth and the attention of the chief officer.

As long as the status of the big boss rises more and more, then his future will be brighter. Therefore, for the sake of his future wealth, he must definitely protect the life of the big boss.

"Kill."

A group of rogue cavalry, who looked quite lean, shouted at the big boss and killed them. They all look like veterans and shouldn't be easy to deal with. Therefore, Liu Shiyao immediately drew a javelin, ready to take the lead and strike at the enemy's momentum.

However, Liu Shiyao was still waiting for a suitable distance, and another sharp arrow had already flown towards the rogue spirit rider at the front, directly penetrating the enemy's throat, and knocking down the enemy's momentum in an instant.

"Chop them all up!"

The big boss shouted immediately after that, and at the same time accelerated and rushed forward. The light reflected by the snow-bright saber in the sun, combined with the brave posture of the big boss at this time, made all the officers and soldiers who followed behind feel that the big boss suddenly became extremely tall, and there was no shadow of the usual short figure at all.

Although the first hand was snatched by Leader Fan, Liu Shiyao still threw the javelin in his hand vigorously and successfully killed a rogue cavalryman.

In the previous battle, Liu Shiyao had already lost his line gun. So after throwing the javelin, Liu Shiyao drew a hand-axe and rushed into the enemy cavalry.

Under Liu Shiyao's vigorous swing, the axe broke through the neck of a thief spirit rider. After the thief's neck was cut in half, the saber in his hand lost its power before it was a few feet away from Liu Shiyao's front door.

"Whoosh."

"Sigh ~ Law"

A crossbow arrow flew out of nowhere and hit the chest of Liu Shiyao's mount. The war horse was in pain and threw off his master. Liu Shiyao, who was smashed, couldn't pay attention to the nearby situation for a while. It's just that the big boss shouted later, Liu Shiyao still barely heard it.

"Old Fan, kill that flag-raising rabbit cub."

Fan Shunjiang had remounted a willow leaf arrow, and the loyal guards around him had been guarding him. Therefore, after hearing the order of the big boss, Fan Shunjiang was able to aim at the distant target with peace of mind.

It's just that the other party also seemed to hear the shouts of the big boss, and the target quickly hid in the crowd, trying to avoid Fan Shunjiang's sniping through the complex battlefield environment.

This did increase the difficulty of Fan Shunjiang's task, but Fan Miaoshou, who was a master of art, did not give up, but instead urged the war horse under him, not afraid of the rogue elite riders around him. After dodging a few sabers that slashed at him, Fan Shunjiang shot the feather arrow in his hand.

The arrows flew through the gaps in the crowd, and finally smashed the target's front teeth with the force of inertia, and the entire shaft of the arrow was inserted into the mouth of the Rogue Standard-bearer.

The thief standard-bearer who was shot couldn't believe all this, but under Fan Shunjiang's almost miraculous archery skills, he still passed away with unwillingness.

When the banner of the thieves in this area fell, the nearby thieves fell into all kinds of chaos for a while. Zhang Mengjin took advantage of the situation and continued to rush forward, and the thieves and soldiers in front of him could not stop him.

On the other side, there are elite troops of thieves in full formation, with a large number of them, although they want to rush over to meet the friendly forces. However, under the desperate interception of Zhao Wankui and Ma Xiangzhong, these people had to fall into a fierce and long battle to the death with the soldiers of Jinding Mountain.

So now in front of Zhang Mengjin, only the last team of thieves and cavalry is left.

Zhang Mengjin relied on an almost unstoppable momentum to lead the team to continue to assault, but then they were blocked by their opponents.

This group of well-equipped rogues is not only very orderly, but also has quite extraordinary skills. In the battle with the soldiers of Jindingshan, who were good at close combat, he actually fought on a par with the soldiers under Zhang Mengjin.

Especially a rogue cavalryman armed with a Glaive and wearing brown armor. This person has a real ability, and he killed three guards around Zhang Mengjin one after another, and the three of them originally went forward to besiege almost at the same time.

However, the opponent's nimble riding skills and excellent skills blocked the offensive of the Jindingshan cavalry. Then the opponent first slashed to death an officer and soldier holding a bone, and then quickly used a counter-slash, smashing a sword and shield cavalry with a weapon.

And the last stunned Jindingshan cavalry, after a somewhat futile resistance, was actually cut into two pieces by the opponent's glaive sword.

This astonishing scene completely reversed the morale of the two hostile parties around him. The counterattack of the thief guards became sharper, and the officers and soldiers were killed and injured in the practice under the suppression of the other party, and the thief guards flocked to Zhang Mengjin as the target.

Fan Shunjiang could no longer snipe the enemy with a bow and arrow with peace of mind, and it was already very difficult for him to maintain the crumbling front around him with his saber drawn, and he was unable to effectively support the big boss.

And Li Dan and other personal guards were entangled by the thief's escort cavalry and other rogue soldiers around him. Although Li Dan was desperately attacked, there were constantly thieves screaming miserably. However, Li Dan was then shot in the body and was knocked off his horse to engage in a dangerous foot battle with other enemies.

At this moment, Zhang Mengjin, the garrison of Ningsai, had to face the challenge in person, and he took the lead in attacking the previously brave enemy with the saber in his hand. After all, Zhang Mengcheng, a talented man with good knife skills, learned the earliest tricks from his eldest brother. Therefore, Zhang Mengjin's own martial arts are also good, and the Heavenly Monkey launched a fierce attack on an unknown opponent.

The enemy's upper and lower positions are always constantly threatened by Zhang Mengjin with ruthless moves. The Monkey's sword moves are very fast, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to guard against these moves.

But in the face of Zhang Mengjin's fierce attack, the brown-armored thief's paralyzed face couldn't see any reaction. Although he couldn't launch a counterattack for a while, under his sophisticated defensive skills, Zhang Mengjin's successive attacks were in vain.

has been unable to win the opponent, which makes Zhang Mengjin very anxious. It's just that at this time, the big boss of Jinding Mountain found that a Jinding Mountain soldier who had solved the entanglement of the thief guards was approaching here quickly.

Zhang Mengjin was ready to take down his opponent in one fell swoop, and he first made the illusion that he was going to attack his opponent's face. When he saw the opponent move, he quickly slashed at the head of the enemy's mount. The opponent immediately blocked this move, but unexpectedly found that this attack actually did not have much power.

Zhang Mengjin, who successfully deceived his opponent, smiled cruelly and slashed at the opponent's neck with a backhand. After the real killing move is used, the sword wind brought up seems to be able to cut through people's skin, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to stop this move.

It's just that the brown-armored thief still has a paralyzed face, and I don't know if it's a conditioned reflex, or if he is indeed extraordinary in martial arts. With his body adjusted quickly, he leaned back slightly, and the movements of his hands did not stop.

In an instant, I can gain a little time by adjusting my posture. Let the brown-armored thief successfully block Zhang Mengjin's killing move, and the blade of the glaive knife in his hand opened the saber of the chaotic monkey Xueliang.

And not only that, almost as if he had eyes on his back, he stabbed diagonally backwards with the blade at the end of the Glaive, and the sharp blade stabbed into the throat of the sneak attacker behind him.

Zhang Mengjin couldn't believe what had happened to him at this moment, but the enemy's next move forced him to defend. But relying on a one-handed saber to block a glaive slash, Zhang Mengjin's entire hand seemed to be numb from the shock. And the treasure knife he trusted was also broken out of a gap at this time, and the whole knife seemed to be about to be split.

The current situation did not allow Zhang Mengjin to think too much, and he made a final counterattack again to make a desperate bet. But the opponent's attack came faster and more skillfully.

"Sigh ~ Law"

The glaive knife swept down, and the war horse that Zhang Mengjin got from Li Dan was deprived of one leg. And Zhang Mengjin, who fell to the ground, was obstructed by the corpses of his own soldiers around him, so he couldn't take advantage of the situation and roll on the spot to open the distance.

And the opponent seems to have noticed all this a long time ago, so he has already put on a posture for the final blow. Zhang Mengjin could only subconsciously raise his saber weakly, and his face was pale and he suddenly thought of his parents, mother-in-law, daughter and two younger brothers.
