Chapter 30: The Crisis Comes

For several days, the rebels were unusual, and did not attack as frequently as before, and it seemed that after the previous one-day double defeat, they became cautious and cautious, only occasionally there would be thousands of soldiers beating drums and shouting to harass them, but they did not go forward, but they were not far away from the drums under the city to disturb them, and occasionally once or twice approached the city, after eating a few waves of arrows, they did not dare to come forward again, leaving dozens of corpses, and withdrawing far away.

Many defenders began to feel that the rebels were exhausted, although there were many of them, but they were already afraid of battle, so whenever an enemy came, they used a strong bow and a hard crossbow to greet the past, Zhang Xun also had the same idea as these defenders at first, but recently he felt a little uneasy.

Because every time the rebels approached, they used bows and arrows to shoot from afar, and the feather arrows in the city were already in a hurry, but fortunately, Yan Feng's Xuanjia battalion was extremely brave, and after each battle, he was not afraid of danger, and went out of the city to collect most of the bows and arrows and the armor abandoned by the thieves and transport them back to the city. It's just that although the weapon can be used again, but the bow and arrow can not be used again and again, the shaft of the arrow can not withstand the power of the bowstring, and the situation of breaking in the air abounds, but the rebels seem to be deliberate, for several days, not a single feather arrow has been fired, only the infantry and horse army have come. Gradually, the horse army also came less, only the infantry held shields, rushed to the city to beat drums and shout, the defenders saw this, a wave of bows and arrows shot over, but it had little effect, every time at this time, the soldiers of the Xuanjia battalion were led by Yan Feng, and the horses went out of the city to rush and kill, but they came and went, and the harvest was much less.

Today, the rebels are beating drums and shouting not far away, Yan Feng immediately put on his horse, and was about to go into battle, he and hundreds of Xuanjia cavalry behind him, all wearing heavy armor, were killed Anqing and the silver armor captured that day, but at this moment they have been smeared with black tung paint, that day's battle, such armor captured more than 1,000 pairs, and nearly 2,000 long lances with black bodies, which were also tied to both sides of the horse, the sharp lance tip, piercing those shields is as easy as a hand, and the vest has also captured a lotAfter all, the war horses of his Xuanjia battalion, once they were wrapped in such a heavy vest, and the soldiers on horseback also weighed more than 100 catties, the speed would drop sharply, and the lethality of the impact would be much worse than before, however, these more than 1,000 vests were not useless, and the archers at the head of the city were all given a vest and tied to their chests and arms, etc., in case they were shot by the enemy's bow and arrows, which greatly increased the possibility of survival.

Ning Shu carefully tied the straps of the armor everywhere for Yan Feng, in her heart, this armor is Yan Feng's best protection, and it must be taken seriously, every time she goes into battle, she wears it for Yan Feng with her own hands, and she has become skilled from the clumsiness. Yan Feng stared at the county lord Ning Shu who was close at hand, seeing that her face was too thin, and her eye sockets were a little sunken, he immediately had endless love in his heart, and put a few strands of messy hair behind his ears for Ning Shu, Ning Shu noticed it, raised his eyes to look at Yan Feng, and couldn't help but pounce into his arms again.

"Don't worry, county lord, I'll go back when I go" Yan Feng gently stroked Ning Shu's thin shoulders and said in a hoarse and low voice. Xiaoxiao is worthy of being the descendant of the medical immortals, although there is no panacea to help, with the technique of silver needles alone, he has also restored Yan Feng's throat within a few days, and now, Yan Feng can already open his mouth to speak, just pay attention to not shouting loudly when rushing to kill in formation.

Seeing a soldier leading the war horse, Yan Feng gently kissed Ning Shu's forehead, and then stepped on the prancing horse, the long knife in his hand was raised high, and the soldiers of the five hundred Xuanjia battalion immediately raised their arms and shouted, Yan Feng knew that the army was ready, and when he saw the city gate open, he immediately pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse's hooves were raised high, and it was like a black lightning, galloping towards the rebel position in the distance. Seeing this, the soldiers behind him shouted in unison: "Kill!" He followed behind Yan Feng, rushed out of the city gate, and opened up a formation on the way to gallop, urging the war horse under his crotch, and the long lances on both sides reflected the cold light, trembling in the wind, like a chain of impermanence to hook the soul, straight to the throat of the rebels.

When the general of the rebel army saw that it was the Xuanjia battalion rushing out, he immediately panicked in his heart, but thinking of this military order, he had to bite the bullet and ordered his soldiers to set up heavy shields, but behind the shields, a lot of thistles were secretly buried. Seeing that Yan Feng took the lead and covered up, the rebel general was very nervous in his heart, and seeing that the soldiers around him were also frightened, he immediately urged the soldiers to hold their positions and not retreat. Yan Feng saw that the rebels were in such a fanfare this time, a row of heavy shields were neatly set up in front, sneering, and there was also a trace of vigilance in his heart, when he was fighting with the Rong people in the north before, he had encountered this situation, behind the shield, there must be some kind of ambush, it may be a hook and sickle, it may be a hook claw, in order to deal with the cavalry, thinking of this, Yan Feng immediately made up his mind, the long knife in his hand danced, and slashed fiercely on the ropes on both sides of the war horse, and the two long lances immediately broke away from the horse and fell to the ground. The war horse suddenly relaxed a lot, seeing that the shield array was in front of him, Yan Feng immediately urged the war horse, a reins of the horse, the front hooves of the war horse were raised, jumped up, and actually crossed over from the top of the heavy shield, Yan Feng's long knife pointed directly at the thief in the array, stepped on the war horse in mid-air, and rose into the air, just avoiding several flying hook claws, but after the war horse landed, the four hooves that were pierced by the thistle terrestris all over the subway were in pain, and then fell to the ground and were chopped into meat by the rebels. Yan Feng borrowed his strength, but he rushed in front of the rebel general, the long knife in his hand danced wildly, and in the blink of an eye, he cut the thief army general into several pieces. The thief army saw that the general was killed in an instant, and immediately the formation was in chaos, and at this time, many Xuanjia battalion soldiers behind him also covered up and killed, the long lance will be heavy shield and the rebels rushed to scatter and flee, but it is exposed behind the iron thistle terrestris, the Xuanjia battalion troops immediately stopped the war horses, holding long knives, rushed into the chaos, the army is dressed in excellent armor, and it is a battle-hardened, killing more than 1,000 rebels is like chopping melons and vegetables, for a while, broken limbs are all over the ground, blood is splashed, everyone in the Xuanjia camp is like a god of war, Yan Feng is the first to take the lead, killing more than a dozen rebels one after another, The long knife in his hand curled up, and still slammed into the head of a rebel, and the thief immediately burst his brain and died.

Li Xiaoer was in a high place, squinting his eyes at the bloody hell that had become a unilateral killing in the distance, frowning, seeing that the two armies were stalemate, and no one cared about the war horses, he immediately ordered, and the five thousand archers immediately opened their bows and arrows, and the sound of rubbing the bowstring suddenly rose, and thousands of arrows flashing with cold glow roared towards the position.

Yan Feng was about to slash the thief army in front of him to death, but before the knife could fall, the thief soldier was shot through the chest by the feather arrow coming from behind him, and fell to the ground with a frightened face. Yan Feng suddenly noticed, and immediately danced the long knife in his hand to block the several feather arrows that were shot, he and everyone in the Xuanjia battalion were wearing excellent battle armor, naturally they were not afraid of these bows and arrows, and immediately fought harder, but Yan Feng suddenly remembered something, and when he looked up, the trajectory of this wave of arrow rain was actually shot straight at the war horse not far behind him.

Only then did Yan Feng know that the purpose of this wave of arrow rain was not them at all, and when he was about to turn around, it was too late, hundreds of war horses were rained down from the sky, and the dense feathered arrows were shot into hedgehogs.

"Put!" Rubbing, the sound of the bowstring sounded in unison, and thousands of arrows roared into the sky, but Li Xiaoer saw that the horses of the Xuanjia battalion were all killed, and ordered the archers to turn to the people of the Xuanjia battalion on the position. When the soldiers of the Xuanjia battalion saw that the war horse was killed, they were all furious, and then raised the long knives in their hands and killed the few remnants of the rebels in the formation even more desperately.

"Dingding!" Yan Feng only felt that the back of his head was hit by a heavy object several times, and when he turned around and looked up, it was a feather arrow shooting straight towards the door in front of him, Yan Feng hurriedly raised his knife to block, and blocked several feather arrows with a clanging clang, Yan Feng saw this, his heart sank, and suddenly heard several painful cries behind him, and when he turned around, it was actually a brother from the Xuanjia Battalion, who was shot in the face, legs and feet by a stray arrow, and after a rain of arrows, more than a dozen people fell!

"Withdraw!" Seeing this, Yan Feng knew that he had been plotted, and he was busy ignoring the pain in his throat, and shouted angrily, only then did he understand that the frequent weakness of the rebels before had such a purpose, and now the Xuanjia Battalion has lost all the horses and lost its combat strength, which is really a big loss, taking advantage of the fact that the people who were hit by the arrow are still a minority, Yan Feng hurriedly ordered everyone to raise the infantry heavy shields scattered on the ground, block them in front of them, and desperately take the opportunity to slowly retreat towards the city with the feather arrows that fell like rain.

"General Yin is wise and famous! It's amazing! Seeing the results of this battle, the generals on the slope only used more than 1,000 soldiers as bait, and actually shot and killed all the most elite Xuanjia battalion war horses in Suiyang City, and seriously injured a lot, and immediately patted Li Xiaoer's fart.

Li Xiaoer frowned slightly, seeing that the Xuanjia battalion reacted quickly, and actually used a heavy shield to protect it, and was able to slowly return to the city, he couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, and immediately didn't say anything, casually ordered, Mingjin collected the troops, and ordered his generals to come out, and he plunged into the big tent of the Chinese army, drank and retreated, and then looked at the screen on one side of the tent, respectfully bowed his head and said: "Mr. God, small admiration, this time it is as Mr. expected, the Xuanjia battalion has been damaged, but they reacted quickly, but people did not die much."

"It's good if the horse is dead" A soft male voice that sounded extremely comfortable came out, and then behind the screen, a person dressed in red with a gold wire covering face turned out, and the folding fan in his hand shook slightly, although he spoke softly, it sounded extremely heavy to Li Xiaoer, and he hurriedly became more humble, bowed down and said: "Sir, what is the next step, there is a gentleman, the attack on Suiyang is just around the corner, please teach me!" ”

The man in red folded the fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "You little guy, are you so eager to capture Suiyang?" It's a shame that you're still his Li Tang's people."

Hearing this person say this, Li Xiaoer's face turned red, and then he arched his hand and said: "Now the little one is already the main general of this southern army, so he has to be like this."

"Li Xiaoer, you have to remember, although I help you, but not to help An Qingxu, you have to know in your heart" immediately tapped the back of Li Xiaoer's head with the folding fan in his hand, just a few times, but Li Xiaoer was already heavily dressed.

"Small, small one..."Li Xiaoer hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed to the man in red a few times.

"Get up, after all, this southern army has been delayed in Suiyang for too long, the next step, that's it"

In the Chinese military tent, the torches swayed, reflecting the figures of the two people suddenly, and after a few moments, Li Xiaoer smiled heartily and hurriedly bowed down to the man in red again

"Mr. Xie's advice! Mr.'s clever plan is not inferior to Zhuge of Shu Han and Sima of Cao Wei! is also a peerless martial artist, and he is really the first person in the world! ”

After hearing this, the man in red seemed to be extremely useful, "Hehe, that's nature......

Yan Feng and the army easily returned to Suiyang City, but the heavy shield in his hand was full of arrows, but for the situation in Suiyang, it was a drop in the bucket, and there was not much room at all, Yan Feng counted the soldiers and found that this time out of the city, not only the war horses were lost, but the Xuanjia battalion was killed and wounded, and nearly 100 people were lost! Although more than 1,000 rebels on the opposite side were killed, for the hundreds of thousands of rebels who conquered the south, these 1,000 people were just a drop in the bucket, and every death on their side was an irreparable loss.

Yan Feng stopped at the head of the city, looking into the distance with a frown, he thought of the battle situation in the past half month, and felt more and more that the army of Zhengnan was very different from before, and at this moment, he still had an uneasiness in his heart, that is, the more than 2,000 Hangzhou defense troops who should have arrived early did not appear for a long time!

Ning Shu quietly appeared behind Yan Feng, wrapped his arms around Yan Feng's waist from behind, leaned his little face against Yan Feng's back, and muttered:

"Yan Feng, in the future, will it be as dangerous as today, don't go out again, okay?"

When Yan Feng heard this, his heart was stagnant, and he only felt that he told him that the future might be even more dangerous, and this Suiyang City might really not last long, so he immediately held Ning Shu's slender hand tightly, but comforted him:

"With me, the county lord doesn't have to worry"

"Hmm" Ning Shu whispered back, just leaning on Yan Feng tightly, her eyes closed, only in this way would she feel a little safe.

In a grass shed in the city, Xiaoxiao was grinding this herb carefully.

"Miss Xiaoxiao, please tell me in detail about the situation that day, I want to know, how Brother Yan died" Qin Wei's face was pale, but after a few days of ordering, he could already stand up in front of him, holding the crescent halberd of An Qinghe, standing firmly behind Xiaoxiao.

"If you want to take revenge, I won't stop you, but you have to recover before you talk!" Xiaoxiao didn't raise her head, and replied coldly, while pouring the freshly ground medicine residue into a clay pot.

"I know, please Miss Xiaoxiao..."

"I'm not free right now!"

"Oh..." Qin Wei saw that Xiaoxiao didn't care about himself, so he had to sigh and walk out of the grass shed with his halberd

"This fool" Xiaoxiao sighed secretly, and then looked at the clay pot in her hand intently.

"Begonia, you say, where can I learn peerless martial arts in this world" Bai Yu held Chuanbao's gourd in his hand, leaned on a towering mountain rock on the edge of Suiyang City, and muttered to himself in the moonlight

"Peerless martial arts? What does Childe want to do" Begonia stood behind Bai Yu on one foot, breathing in the cool night breeze, and looked at Bai Yu with hazy eyes and asked

"It's all because I'm not good at martial arts, if I'm good enough, I don't have to take Brother Yan to Yuhang, he won't come to Suiyang, and he won't die, if I'm strong enough, the Chinese army will fight that day, and I won't have to watch Brother Qin get seriously injured, but I can't do anything about it, if I'm strong enough, kill Anqing and that guy, why let them be seriously injured so far" Bai Yu still looked at Mingyue in the distance, but unconsciously, he tightly grasped the gourd in his hand.

"Childe doesn't have to blame himself so much" Haitang heard this, and a sour feeling surged in her heart. had to comfort in a whisper, but said to himself in his heart, "If I am good enough, Bai Lang will not be like this." After thinking about it for a long time, he said to himself

"No matter the ends of the world, Begonia will always accompany the child"

When Bai Yu heard this, his heart warmed, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth......

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next time
