"Sir, there's movement over there." The guard who was guarding Pei Ji's side lowered his voice.

Although Chu Huan handed over the Governor's Praetorian Guard to Pei Ji, and once wanted to justify Pei Ji as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Pei Ji never agreed, only said that he would wait until the Praetorian Guard was trained before electing the commander.

Chu Huan failed to persuade him several times, so he just said it, although the name is not right, it is not good, but when the Praetorian Guard was formed from the first day, it was Pei Ji who was in charge, and everyone in the army knew that Pei Ji was the real leader, and all the generals, including Xu Shao, also respected Pei Ji very much.

The whole army also called Pei Ji "Mr".

Pei Ji stroked his long beard and smiled indifferently, this is what he expected, the bandits are trapped in the sunset village, and they will never sit still, now the officers and soldiers are attacking the villages, General Qiu must be worried that after the main force of the officers and soldiers captures the villages, they will increase the troops in the sunset village, at that time, it will be difficult to break through, so Pei Ji has expected that before the main force of the officers and soldiers to lay down the villages, the bandits trapped in the mountains will inevitably choose to break through from the road under the sunset village.

The military formation is at the foot of a flat mountain, and there is still some distance from Sunset Village.

A horn sounded to remember, the soldiers suddenly lifted their spirits, knowing that the big war was imminent, they were all ready to fight, everyone's eyes were pumping the sunset, and it didn't take long to see that in the darkness, it seemed to be pouring out a dark cloud, and the teeth and claws rushed down the mountain, and the speed was extremely fast.

"Retreat!" Pei Ji waved his hand, and a soldier next to him immediately passed down the military order, and thousands of soldiers, except for two rows of archers who were still guarding the wooden fence, the other soldiers really retreated.

The whole army was adjusted in an orderly manner.

The dark clouds floated down from the mountain, gathering bigger and bigger, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and the soldiers of the Chu army had already seen clearly that the dark clouds floating from the mountain were the bandits who were preparing to break through.

The bandits of Hulu Village did not shout, holding swords, guns and shields, and many people led their horses, and did not rush over immediately, seeing the half-arc wooden fence of the siege, and seeing the archers behind the wooden fence waiting for a while, both sides did not say a word for a while, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, and the silence was like death.

The bandits' eyes were fierce, at this time it was no longer a reward for meritorious service, but to save their lives, and in order to survive, they could only fight to the death.

Among the bandits, General Qiu has been riding on a black war horse, the war horse is very tall and strong, people who know horses can distinguish at a glance, General Qiu's mount is a pure Xiliang horse, and among the Xiliang horses, this is also a good horse in a thousand.

He wears a mask, his eyes are as sharp as eagles, but he is wearing black armor at the moment, and his fierce body and sturdy horses match each other, which is very compatible, and it is also very conspicuous in the crowd.

He holds the reins of the horse in his left hand, and holds a weapon made of iron in his right hand, the weapon is two or three meters long, and the tip of the spear is a sharp spear tip, but behind the tip of the spear, there is a flat iron hammer, this kind of weapon is very rare, it can both stab and smash, but if you want to use this weapon, the requirements are naturally extremely high, first of all, you must have strong strength.

Behind General Qiu, there was Mr. Hei, the two of them took advantage of the same horse, General Qiu did not forget this Mr. Hei at this critical moment, and even took him with him to break through with himself.

The bandits were already clenching their weapons, just waiting for General Qiu's order to rush and kill immediately.

Pei Ji had already stood up from his chair at this time, holding a long stick in his hand, looking at the dark clouds with a calm expression.

General Qiu slowly raised his arm, the hammer gun in his hand pointed forward sharply, and said sharply: "Brothers, we have no way to retreat. ”

He was full of anger, the sound shook all over the world, and before the words fell, the bandits all roared angrily, and some outlaw bandits who were not afraid of death were already the first to rush forward, and the bandits behind him immediately followed, and a dark cloud covered the sky.

These thousands of mountain bandits poured out like a flood that burst its banks.

Although the number of officers and soldiers was not below the other party, the bandits were so fierce and angry that the momentum was extremely strong, and many soldiers were secretly surprised in their hearts.

Pei Ji was calm and calm, seeing the mountain bandits rushing over, his lips moved lightly, and he spit out a word: "Shoot!" ”

As soon as the military order was issued, the horn sounded.

At the sound of the trumpet, the archers who used the wooden fence as a barrier were already drawing their bows and firing angrily, and hundreds of sharp arrows gathered in the air, like a sharp knife, fiercely piercing the dark clouds.

These hundreds of sharp arrows are like heavy hammers slapping against water waves, sickles across wheat waves, like the sound of arrows like the wind, the bandits are on their backs, howling miserably.

This round of arrows made the group of bandits in the dark cloud be torn open a crack, scattered in a panic, dozens of people have been planted to the ground, and the bandits behind them slowed down, but only slowly, and then rushed over like crazy in the roar.

Among this group of mountain bandits, some of them were the soldiers of the pioneer battalion of the Northwest Army, they were originally sent to the border to chong as cannon fodder, and they had lived and died for a long time, in comparison, the perseverance and combat experience of this group of people definitely did not belong to Chu Huan's regular army.

Although the arrows rained down, the bandits quickly stabilized their formation, and the bandits with shields rushed in front, and the bandits with swords followed behind, rushing over like a torrent.

Seeing that the bandits were approaching, Pei Ji gave an order, the pikemen had stepped forward quickly, and the archers retreated tacitly, widening the distance between them and the bandits, and the arrows were still continuous.

The speed of the bandits' sprint was indeed not slow, and soon many people rushed to the edge of the wooden fence, although it was only temporarily erected, but thousands of officers and soldiers built the wooden fence in a short period of time, creating a barrier, the wooden fence was also as high as one person, nailed to the ground, and stabilized with stones, when the bandits rushed over, the pikemen were already in an orderly manner from the middle of the wooden fence to the outside of the spear ruthlessly stabbed out.

The spears are like poisonous snakes, neatly aligned, close to the wooden fence of the bandits, in an instant, they were pierced by the spears in a large row, the back of the bandits in order to save their lives, can only fight to the death, the front bandits fell, the back continued to make up.

Although a small part of the bandits in Huluzhai are from the vanguard battalion of the Northwest Army, but most of them are composed of rogues, who were just ordinary people before, and their combat effectiveness is really not flattering.

Most of the officers and soldiers led by Chu Huan had gone through the battle against Xiliang, and many of them had crawled out of the pile of dead, which could not be described as brave.

The spear was stabbed, then drawn violently, and then continued to be stabbed forward, repeating the same action, which was really a breeze for these well-trained officers and soldiers.

In just a few moments, the wooden fence was already full of dead bodies.

After the archers opened the distance, the arrows continued, with spears in front and arrows in the back, and thousands of bandits were like lambs to the slaughter, under the merciless slaughter of spears and arrows, they screamed miserably, and the scene was extremely tragic.

It's just that there are many bandits after all, although there are countless casualties, but under the bloody battle for survival, they still broke through the wooden fence, the horn sounded, the officers and soldiers immediately retreated, and the pikemen fought with the bandits.

When the bandits stormed the wooden fence, Pei Ji ordered the soldiers to retreat and opened up a distance, and it was in this short period of time that the second army formation was prepared.

These are all shield soldiers with shields in their hands, Chu Huan's family background is not solid, except for the batch of strategic materials recovered from Dongfang Xin, he himself does not have many resources.

The shields in the arsenal were all taken out this time, and most of the shields were called to Pei Ji's side, so there were quite a few shield soldiers on Pei Ji's side, and the half-moon-shaped shield soldiers were connected to each other, just like the moon made of copper walls, murderous.

The shield soldiers who were fighting in front saw the rear team coming up, and fought and retreated, and the bandits chased after them, but the shield soldiers had already rushed up, and when they saw their own spearmen, the two shields immediately opened, and the pikemen passed through the gaps, and when the bandits caught up, the shields had been closed again, and when they pushed forward, the broadswords slashed forward, and the pikemen who had retreated formed a formation behind the shield soldiers, finding the right opportunity, and the spears were pierced forward.

Originally, the bandits broke through the two wooden fences, and their morale was greatly boosted, but under the pressure of the shield array, they retreated back.

At this time, suddenly heard the neighing of the war horse, the rumbling sound sounded, the bandits heard the sound from behind, when looking back, only to see nearly a hundred war horses formed a cavalry team, the first one, it was the iron armor of the general, his crotch of the war horse named oolong, really like a roaring dragon, the bandits hurriedly dodged, waiting for the cavalry to rush over.

It turned out that when the bandits were fighting forward, General Qiu had found an opportunity to gather the horses brought down from the mountain, and Huluzhai had trained a cavalry, and these cavalry mounted on horseback, under the command of General Qiu, in a short period of time, they had formed a horse team, and quickly began to attack forward.

This horse team, although there are not many people, but the momentum is extremely strong, and Pei Ji saw it from a distance, and immediately frowned.

General Qiu took the lead, rushed to the front of the shield soldiers, the war horse did not arrive, the hammer gun in his hand had been smashed over, "boom" sound, a shield soldier was actually smashed into meat sauce by the people with the shield, the oolong horse neighed, stepped forward, the left and right pikemen and shield knife hands all to the General Qiu to kill, General Qiu roared, the hammer gun in his hand drew a big circle, the strength of the tomato, the surrounding soldiers under the sweep of his hammer gun, either dead or wounded.

Pei Ji stroked his green beard and sighed lightly: "General Qiu has a good reputation, and he is really not a general...... person!" In just a moment, General Qiu had already advanced more than ten meters forward, and the hammer and spear in his hand were smashed with stabbing and stabbing, and he was extremely brave, and at this time he really looked like a tiger in the wolf pack.
