In the face of the rolling big stones and falling wood, Shang Ming broke out in a cold sweat, and at the last moment, he dodged back to the bunker beside him, patted his chest, and was afraid for a while, and secretly said in his heart: "Ma De Laozi has come over with strong winds and waves, and he almost capsized in the gutter!" ”

At the foot of the mountain, Liu Fan, who had been paying attention to the battle, saw the situation on the mountainside, frowned, and ordered: "Beat the drum!" After three rounds of artillery shelling, artillery fire extended! Reserves! Two teams and three teams on! ”

The rousing drum beat sounded, and the artillery opened fire, and as many as 20 shells rushed out of the chamber and fell on the head of the rogue on the mountain again.

At the same time as the drum sounded, Shang Ming's team on the mountainside rushed out of the bunker under the cover of artillery fire and launched an impact on the top of the mountain again, five hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters, when Shang Ming and others rushed to more than 100 meters, the smoothbore gun finally exerted its due power, "bang" The gunfire sounded, the projectile hit the enemy who was still resisting on the cottage, and the huge impact force penetrated the thin leather armor of the rogue, deeply embedded in the flesh, and the blood flowed out along the bullet hole, and the rogue was shot down one after another.

Shang Ming shouted: "The time has come for the brothers to make meritorious contributions!" Rush me! Before the shout fell, his body had already moved forward quickly, crossing the ruins of the wall, and killing the remaining enemy under the fire of the artillery! Shang Ming took the lead and was the first to kill the enemy, waving a big knife, slashing through the chest of the enemy in front of him, blood sprayed, and the thief fell in a pool of blood before he could resist. A group of soldiers rushed forward and rushed to the remaining enemy, fighting them hand-to-hand, and suddenly the shouts of killing broke out in the cottage.

At this moment, the reserve team under the mountain quickly approached the cottage along the road opened by Shang Ming. Arriving at the battlefield in less than a quarter of an hour, pikemen, in a small formation, joined the battlefield in a neat formation. Under the command of the officer, the spear thrust, like Lin's gun array, pierced through the chest of the enemy and tore apart any enemy who dared to stand in front of him.

Half an hour later, except for sporadic resistance, most of the rest of the rogues had died under the guns of the Breakers. Seeing this, the remaining old and weak soldiers gave up their resistance and surrendered on their knees. In just over an hour, this seemingly sturdy Qinglong Village was captured under the powerful attack of the Broken Army.

Liu Fan left a team of 300 people to guard the prisoners, clean up the battlefield, clean up the belongings, and take the rest of the majority of the men and horses, and continue to rush towards the next cottage. In one morning, Liu Fan led two battalions of soldiers to break through three villages in a row, captured the three fortresses of Qinglong Mountain, Baijian Mountain, and Ma Tou Mountain, killed more than 5,000 thieves, captured tens of thousands of people, and seized a large amount of food and property. Except for the Phoenix Mountain where Guo Tianxing was located, the rest of the small cottages abandoned the village and fled under the deterrence of Liu Fan's army.

At noon, Liu Fan came to the foot of Phoenix Mountain with a large group of men and horses, compared to Qinglong Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Phoenix Mountain is not too steep, and the altitude is far less than the rest of the mountains. But the Phoenix Mountain has been inhabited since ancient times, there are many mountain stone buildings in the mountain, after the Liukou occupied here, it was greatly repaired, and now the Phoenix Mountain has a thick wall and many sentry posts. According to the news that Liu Fan got from the villagers in the mountains, there are no less than 30,000 people on Phoenix Mountain, and their strength is very strong.

In view of the strong strength of the enemy on Phoenix Mountain, and the high mountain and thick city, the lethality of the tiger squat cannon and the three-pounder cannon was greatly reduced, and it may not play its huge role, Liu Fan did not rashly attack, but ordered the army to be stationed on the spot. It is now noon, and unlike other troops, who eat two meals a day, the Broken Army has three meals a day, and it will not change except in special circumstances. And after a morning of attack, the soldiers were already tired, so Liu Fan ordered the soldiers to bury the pot and cook, and after a short rest, they would discuss the countermeasures before launching an attack!

In the temporary commander's tent, Liu Fan convened the staff team to discuss the next battle plan in view of the enemy situation in Phoenix Mountain. Looking at the people who were talking about it below, Liu Fan coughed dryly and asked, "Everyone is clear about the current situation!" Sun Liang: Do you have any good countermeasures? Tell me about it! ”

Seeing Liu Fan asking questions, everyone quieted down, and Sun Liang replied, "The opinion of our staff squad is to conduct a tentative attack first to see the strength of the enemy's resistance!" This may be followed by a massive artillery bombardment to break the enemy's morale. In order to avoid casualties, I suggest driving the captives as pioneers, and my team will wait for the opportunity to capture the enemy village! ”

Liu Fan agreed: "Hmm! OK! What do you have to do about the strong defense of Phoenix Mountain? ”

Sun Liang already had a draft in his heart, and continued to reply without hurrying, "Handsome! I've already asked the mountaineers, the terrain of Phoenix Mountain is not high, and the south side of the mountain is steep but still climbable! I suggest sending a small squad to bypass the enemy's lines and launch a sneak attack from the flank, which will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! ”

Liu Fan thought for a while and nodded, "Accurate!" You go ahead and arrange it! ”

"Report!" Sun Liang was just about to answer, when the voice of the herald came from outside the door. Liu Fan heard this: "Come in!" ”

The herald entered, and replied, "Report to the commander!" The spies came to report that He Jin, Yangyi, Guan Tao's Wutao Department, Li Xiaohu Department and Song Cheng Department were all besieged by a large number of rogues! Among them, Yangyi, Guan Tao is the most serious, the besieging Liukou has no less than 50,000 troops, and now Wu Tao and Li Xiaohu have converged in Yangyi, and sent people to ask for help! Please decide! ”

Liu Fan was shocked in his heart, and at the same time he was very angry, "The two of them have 6,000 elite soldiers and hundreds of cannons, can't even 50,000 rogue soldiers stop them?" Rubbish! And the face to ask for help! Tell them there are no reinforcements! If you can't stop Liu, don't come back! ”

The herald lowered his head, waited until Liu Fan finished scolding, and immediately replied, "Yes!" Commander, I'll send someone to inform them! ”

"Wait!" Sun Liang shouted to the departing herald, turned to Liu Fan and said, "Handsome! Don't do that! Now Yangyi, He Jin is surrounded, we are surrounded on all sides, and the tactics of advancing layer by layer have been broken! The rogues on Phoenix Mountain can leave calmly without being defeated! And the three battalions that were under siege were powerless to stop them! It doesn't make much sense to capture Phoenix Mountain again! Now that our army is in Xisizhuang and is less than twenty miles from Hejin, it is completely possible to reach Hejin in a short time, so I suggest that I leave a group of men and horses to monitor Phoenix Mountain, and most of the rest of the troops immediately advance to Hejin to relieve the siege of Hejin. After that, you can start from He Jin and go south along the canyon, and at the same time, you can send someone to inform Zuo Liangyu of Cishan and let him lead people to attack west! Rush to the aid of Yangyi! Fight the rogue on both sides! ”

Liu Fan looked at the map and pondered for a moment, feeling that Sun Liang's plan was very reasonable, and immediately clapped his hand and said, "Okay!" Pass my orders! Leave five battalions and three teams of people! The others immediately followed me in the direction of He Jin! (To be continued.) )
