Chapter 128 Bitter Battle Erlongzhai
Yue Fei's first task was to rescue the daring soldiers trapped in the first line of heaven, and immediately took Yao Zheng and the commandos to follow the bandit guards into the first line of heaven. The remnants of the battle the day before yesterday had not been cleaned up, and the smell of smoke was quite strong, and the corpses were dragged away, but the smell of blood and the stench of decay made people breathless.
When they came in, they found that the situation was worse than they had imagined. Most of the warriors were weakened by dehydration, and they had fallen into despair lying down. The wounded were not treated at all, some were dying, some were wailing in pain, and the misery was unbearable.
Seeing such a scene, Yao Zheng scolded the "weak mother" and hurriedly beckoned the brave soldiers to help each other.
At this time, the daring soldiers on the front line also somewhat understood that someone was coming to rescue them. Those who were still in good physical strength exerted their strength, threw the guards who had fled in all directions to the ground, and fought. As a result, more than a dozen guards were killed alive, which shows that the daring warriors hated them to the core.
Yao Zheng led the team and quickly took control of the situation. A total of 423 people were counted, of whom 126 were seriously injured and infirm. Nearly seventy people were selected to participate in the battle, divided into two groups, with Yue and Yao each leading a team.
Yue Fei decided to take fifty men with him, and Yao Zheng and fifty soldiers protected the wounded and retreated down the mountain road. Yao Zheng lit the letter cannon and shot it into the night sky, informing Wang Gui that he could launch an attack at Laoniupo to reduce the resistance of Yao Zheng's retreat.
Seeing that Yao Zheng was ready, Yue Fei led people to rush out of the sky, and there would definitely be a fierce battle.
Sure enough, when Yue Fei and Yao Zheng were tidying up inside, the Flying Tiger and many bandits had already blocked the road down the mountain. There were about thirty steps between the two parties, and when they saw Yue Fei coming out, the Flying Tiger shouted, "Crossbowman, release!" ”
More than forty crossbowmen slashed their heads and covered their heads with a rain of arrows, and immediately shot five or six daring soldiers around Yue Fei, and then another wave of bandits came, shooting three or four again. Yue Fei saw that he couldn't survive like this, and he couldn't fight hard, so he immediately retreated.
The Flying Tiger jumped out with a big knife and said proudly, "Brothers, what's the matter, this is called catching a turtle in an urn and trapping him!" Let's disarm General Xiao Liu, there are so many crossbow arrows, as long as he dares to take the lead, you will shoot my mission! ”
Someone reported that there was an attack by officials and troops in Laoniupo, and this time the momentum was very fierce, and they rushed up one by one.
The Flying Tiger pursed his lips, pointed to the first line of heaven and said, "This is the cooperation between them, no matter how urgent the attack under the mountain is, it also depends on whether this line of heaven can come out, otherwise no matter how powerful the rush is, it will not be useful." ”
On the first line, Yue Fei and Yao Zheng urgently consulted, and Yue Fei was here to wait for Gao Shixuan's reinforcements, and he should work together to defeat the bandits in one fell swoop.
However, Yao Zheng believes that the bandits in the south are well defended at the moment, and it is better to break through from the north than to wait fearlessly and delay.
Yue Fei knew that the trail in the north of Erlong Mountain was steep and the mountains were continuous. It doesn't matter if it's normal, isn't it just the soles of the feet that serve as soldiers? But now there are more than a hundred wounded, and they will definitely slow down, and they will be bitten by bandits all the way, and the casualties will definitely be not small.
In the end, Yue Fei decided to wait for Gao Shixuan to attack the mountain, and Yao Zheng could only obey his orders.
Lao Niupo, Xia Zhong led people to stick to the fortifications, although there were only thirty people, but shooting arrows in the fortifications was a very pleasant thing, and crossbow arrows were shot out without money. In just a quarter of an hour, Wang Gui lost four or five of his men.
Wang Gui is not stupid, this is simply a turtle shell, if he can't smash it, his losses will be bigger and bigger.
Immediately called a halt and sent someone to ask Gao Shixuan for help. After a quarter of an hour, the people sent back said that Gao Shixuan had gone out to explore the terrain and was not in the camp, so he could not mobilize a single soldier.
Exploring the terrain in the middle of the night? Trick the ghost to go, sure enough, he stumbled on our Tang Yin in secret, it seems that this battle can only rely on himself.
Wang Gui didn't say anything, picked up a shield and a knife, stood in the front, and said, "Brother Yue's brother is in a critical situation inside, and it is not good to ask for someone now, so I can only rely on our own brothers, and those who have eggs will kill me!" ”
Speaking of a shield, aiming at the body, it thrust upwards from the left or right, causing the bandits' bows and arrows to rain down. With Wang Gui, the eldest brother, taking the lead, and the fellow villagers being eager to rescue, more than 60 Tangyin men shouted and braved the rain of arrows to attack the bandit fortifications.
Xia Zhong saw that these mud legs were going to work hard, and they couldn't hold it, so they quickly withdrew. Immediately left seven or eight crossbowmen and continued to shoot arrows to block the other party, and quietly took a dozen henchmen and hurriedly retreated to the three forks.
Tang Yin rushed into the old cow slope and cut down all the bandits. Wang Guicai found that he had been hit by as many as three or four arrows in his arms and legs, but fortunately he was not injured. This wave fought quickly, and there were only a few seriously injured, most of them were minor injuries, and they could fight again after wrapping their wounds.
Wang Gui didn't delay time, and immediately followed Xia Zhong's back with his men and horses. You have to bite him in order to take advantage of the chaos to attack, and Yue Fei will have a chance when he is on the top.
At the fork in the road, Hu Yanmei was taking fifty people to Xia Zhong, and the two of them joined forces and could not hold out.
Wang Gui was anxious, these turtles knew to hide, since they hit this part, continue to attack!
Hu Yanmei is really unlucky to say that he is unlucky, Tang Yindu's unintentional stray arrow touched the stone wall, turned in a different direction, and actually inserted it into his lower abdomen, and fell to the ground with a cry of pain.
When the henchman saw it, he was startled and didn't dare to pull out the arrow, so he had to help Hu Yanmei go to the back mountain to find a cottage doctor to save his life.
The three forks were handed over to Xia Zhong, and the thieves below began to panic, after all, Xia Zhong was much worse than Hu Yanmei in all aspects, and he had just lost Lao Niupo, so everyone naturally had "This guy is unreliable" and "This guy doesn't kill us"
Such a psychology is equivalent to installing a retreat countdown, and as Tang Yindu approaches step by step, the pressure value of the bandits gradually reaches a critical point. This critical point depends on when Xia Zhong will give up!
To say that Wang Gui has more than 60 people, Xia Zhong also has 60 people in his hands, and it is unknown who will kill the deer in the fight.
But Wang Gui is working hard, and Xia Zhong is working, and the nature is different. Moreover, Xia Zhong had been frightened by Wang Gui for a while, and his desire to fight was not high. He had to order the crossbowmen to fire round after round, and then bring in flammable materials and pile them on the mountain road to set them on fire.
When Wang Gui saw the other party like this, his heart was mostly stable, which was completely a sign of no plan and no confidence. Immediately send someone, push the burning obstacle aside and continue the onslaught.
Because the mountain road became narrower and narrower as it went up, this time seven or eight of Tangyin were hit by arrows and fell, and the losses were higher than those of Lao Niupo. Wang Gui had already taken the lead in sprinting, using his shield to protect the vital point, and with the help of the shadow on the side of the road, he approached the bandit's bunker in three jumps and two jumps.
As soon as Xia Zhong saw Wang Gui approaching, he was in the blind spot of the bow and crossbow shooting, and nervously ordered his subordinates to attack and hack this nasty guy to death. Then he realized that he had done something stupid. (To be continued.) )
