Chapter 70: Defeat Zhang Xianzhong

It was ten years in the middle of the day, the weather was unusually hot, and the soldiers' clothes were soaked with blood and sweat.

Mu Xiao'e brought the logistics team to send tea to relieve the heat, just in time for Jia Bin to report the information he heard to Yu Xiang for a long time. Now, only Jia Binjiu's more than 20 people have not been involved in the battle at night, collecting intelligence everywhere.

Yu Xiang took a bowl of summer tea that Mu Xiao'e brought him, and handed it to Jia Binjiu. Jia Bin was not polite for a long time, and drank it in one go.

Yu Xiang asked, "Is there anything going on around the Thirteen-Mile Bridge?" ”

Jia Bin saw Mu Xiao'e by his side for a long time, shook his head angrily and said: "With my old Jia here, how dare the enemy come to harass, there is not even a shadow of an enemy on the Thirteen-Mile Bridge." ”

Yu Xiang felt a lot of peace in his heart, and now that all the teams were transferred to the front line, he was very worried about the enemy's sneak attack on the rear, so he still told Jia Bin for a long time: "There are seriously injured soldiers in the Thirteen Mile Bridge, as well as Wu Youxing, Zhu Jishi and Yang Yizhi, they are treasures, and their safety must be guaranteed." ”

Jia Binjiu rarely saw Yu Xiang so cautious and serious, he put away his usual grinning temperament, and solemnly promised: "Please rest assured, Mr. Qian, I will definitely guarantee their safety." ”

Yu Xiang nodded.

After talking with Mr. Qian, Jia Binjiu turned around, revealing an expression of underbeating, and begged Mu Xiao'e in a low voice: "Xiao'e! Brother is thirsty, can you give a bowl of tea? ”

Mu Xiao'e glanced at him and said, "You deserve to die of thirst, who asked you to drink the bowl of tea of Mr. Qian just now." After that, he ignored Jia Binjiu and scooped another bowl for Yu Xiang.

Yu Xiang was happy to see them bickering, and the tense atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly eased a lot. He took the herbal tea and handed it to Jia Binjiu.

Jia Bin dared to take it again for a long time, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I'm not thirsty, I'm not thirsty!" Then he turned around and raised his legs to leave.

"Stop, come back!" Mu Xiao'e ordered.

Jia Bin was overjoyed when he heard this voice for a long time. Hurriedly hold your footsteps. Mu Xiao'e handed him a bowl of herbal tea, Jia Binjiu held it with both hands, drank it all with a bang, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, glanced at Mu Xiao'e affectionately, turned around and ran towards the top of the gang, rode a fast horse, and ran away.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Mu Xiao'e's mouth, and she continued to distribute herbal tea to the soldiers. Yu Xiang saw this scene in his eyes, but he didn't make a sound.

Qi Dayong counted the number of people, and the number of casualties in Xincun was nearly half, and the team of about 1,400 people had more than 600 casualties, leaving 823 people. When you run out of ammunition, you can only fight hand-to-hand with enemies several times your size.

Just in case, Qi Dayong arranged for Liu Xiangyong, Liu Xiangxin, and Liu Xiangyi to protect Yu Xiang and the Red Lady, and all the logistics personnel were evacuated to the Thirteen Mile Bridge.

Soon, the enemy formation sounded the horn of the charge, and thousands of people densely pressed towards the last line of defense of Xincun.

The enemy at the front was the rattan and wooden soldiers, and this time they did not blindly attack, but carried the corpses and wounded on the ground and threw them into the shallow trench in front of the defensive line.

The wounded, who were not yet dead, wailed and pleaded, but they remained unmoved, and the trench was quickly filled with corpses and wounded soldiers.

They stepped on their comrades in the trench and charged towards the new village, they wanted to break through the last earthen wall, break through the last line of defense. At the top of the earthen wall this time was the well-trained fire of the new village. Spearmen, they put away the fire . guns, picked up a spear, a shot . Stab out, resolute and decisive, either you die, or I die!

An enemy rattan card was pierced by a spear, this rattan soldier parried upward, trying to shake off the spear that pierced into the rattan card, this time revealing the lower plate, another spear stabbed his lower abdomen like lightning, and then withdrew, the spear dripped blood, and brought out a section of intestines, this rattan soldier died tragically instantly.

The spearmen of the new village relied on this seamless cooperation to keep the enemy out of the fifth earthen wall, and soon the corpses of the enemy soldiers were piled up in front of the fifth earthen wall.

The enemy was in too many places, and the fifth line of defense of Xincun was quickly broken through.

The enemy soldiers climbed over the fifth earthen wall like ants, and Qi Dayong quickly concentrated his people on the top of the loess hill and formed several mandarin duck battle formations. In a flat place, the power of the Mandarin Duck Array can be brought into play. As the saying goes, an inch is long and an inch is strong, after the formation of the mandarin duck array, the sharp spear of the new village exerts great power, just like a killing machine, and those who approach it are either killed or injured.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu personally commanded the battle at the top of the post at this time, and saw that the Xincun not only had amazing combat effectiveness, but also that the soldiers of the Xincun were very determined, and they saw that the soldiers of the Xincun fell one by one, but none of them were afraid and retreated, and this spirit of not being afraid of death made them frightened. These two men are worthy of being famous generals on the battlefield, and they are good at learning from the experience of war, and they ordered the soldiers to pick up spears from the ground and assassinate them around the mandarin duck formation in the new village.

This practice led to the loss of Xincun's weapon advantage, and their way of fighting for their lives quickly achieved results, after all, Xincun was far less than them in numbers, and even if two were exchanged for one, Xincun could not afford to pay for it.

Much of the water was exhausted, and the speed of piercing and retracting spears was slow. The enemy, seeing his weakness, stabbed at him, and at last he was pierced through the chest by a spear, and a lot of water was no longer able to pierce the spear in his hand. Blood had poured out of his mouth. He threw away his weapon, and gripped the shaft of his enemy's spear with both hands, slowing him down as quickly as he could, and while the enemy was pulling his spear, his companion stabbed his spear into his enemy's body, killing him.

At the last moments of many aquatic lives, he seemed to see his younger siblings waving to him in the crowd, he seemed to hear his sweetheart Xu Lianhua calling his name, and finally, he fell to the ground and closed his eyes reluctantly.

In this way, the mandarin duck array in Xincun was dispersed, and groups of people fell and died. Zhuge Shanzhen led the Xincun special service battalion to kill the enemy bravely, although the special service battalion is a strong general, but after all, it is flesh and blood, several people were hacked to death by the enemy because of exhaustion, and Zhuge Shanzhen's special service battalion suffered heavy losses. Seeing his subordinates fall one by one, his heart was like a knife. These people are carefully selected and are the best of the best. Zhuge Shanzhen originally had a calm temperament, no quarrel with the world, and was hidden in the world, but since he led the spy battalion and entered the battlefield, he felt more responsibilities and missions, felt his calm heart, and poured out the passion of worship. Now, his passion turned into anger, and the spear in his hand flew up and down, killing those who stood in his way. His robes had been stained red with blood, and he had become a veritable bloody man.

The battle on the loess hill is still going on, the flesh and blood are flying, the enemy has only 2,000 people left, and there are only more than 100 people left in the new village.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, who had been killed for a long time, were extremely shocked, if it was the opponent's officers and soldiers, they were afraid that they would have collapsed at this moment, and Xincun, at this moment, the attrition had reached seven or eight percent, and the formation was still not chaotic, and the mandarin duck formations that had been scattered were regrouped, just like a pool of water, although the water was decreasing, it would always be a whole. And in the face of death, no one escaped. Although they have an advantage in numbers, if they are consumed for a long time, they are afraid that they will be extremely disadvantaged. At this time, they saw that there was a young and handsome young man and a heroic woman in a team inside, and they guessed that this young man was Yu Xiang and the red lady.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu discussed, captured and killed Yu Xiang first, and quickly gathered hundreds of elite soldiers to form a death squad, and they personally held spears and commanded the battle, specifically to deal with Yu Xiang's mandarin duck array.

Yu Xiang saw the enemy menacing and knew that the enemy intended for him. Yu Xiang has put life and death aside, and is determined to die with the enemy.

Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu is worthy of being a famous general, he named the death squad, in a one-for-one way, towards the Mandarin Duck Formation, and soon, the striker of the Mandarin Duck Formation was replaced by the enemy in a life-to-life manner. The number of people in Yu Xiang's mandarin duck array quickly decreased. Fortunately, the three Liu brothers were strong in martial arts, and the spears in their hands flew up and down, and the enemies were stabbed one after another, holding their positions, stabilizing the morale of the army, and ensuring that the Mandarin Duck Array did not disintegrate immediately.

Everyone was desperately fighting the enemy, and Yu Xiang stood in the center of the formation, observing the battle situation. Li Dingguo saw this opportunity, used the spear in his hand as a javelin, and threw it at Yu Xiang with all his strength.

The distance between the two is very close, Li Dingguo's martial arts are strong, and the spear he threw out was fast and ruthless, and the spear flew towards Yu Xiang's chest like an arrow from the string.

At this critical moment. Huang An jumped up, his body caught the flying spear, he held the handle of the spear with both hands, the spear had pierced into his chest, the whole person flew, with the inertia of the spear, fell backwards, Yu Xiang caught Huang An with his hand.

Huang An fell into Yu Xiang's arms, blood gushing out of his mouth. He pointed to the yellow strip of cloth on his arm with difficulty, signaling Yu Xiang to untie it, and Huang An pointed to Yu Xiang's arm again, Yu Xiang understood, and wrapped the untied strip of yellow cloth around his arm.

Huang An convulsed for a while, gulped blood, and closed his eyes with a smile.

Huang An's death greatly stimulated Yu Xiang, and the figure of Huang Granny appeared in front of his eyes, Yu Xiang stared at the blood-red eyes, put Huang An on the ground, picked up a spear, and was about to rush forward and fight the enemy.

The red lady knew Yu Xiang best, and she couldn't care much about it, so she hugged him tightly and begged: "Please, don't be impulsive, hold on a little longer!" You can't die yet, if you die, the new village will be over. ”

Yu Xiang desperately wanted to break free from the Red Lady, but the Red Lady was a person who had practiced martial arts after all, her arms were like iron hoops, no matter how he struggled, he just couldn't break free.

At this moment, more than a dozen fast horses came from the direction of the Thirteen Mile Bridge, galloping towards Yu Xiang's team, and the person at the head was Jia Binjiu, behind him, at this moment, except for a few people who guarded the Thirteen Mile Bridge at night, the rest of the people followed him into the final battle of Xincun.

Jia Bin, who was riding on the horse, was majestic, and he didn't have the cynical sling habit at all, and he saw them on the horse on fire. guns, firing at the enemy besieging Yu Xiang's formation, a few shots rang out, and the enemy fell in a large area.

They are on fire. The gun uses small iron sand instead of individual iron balls, which can cause little damage but can disintegrate the enemy's combat effectiveness in large areas.

It was a scorching heat, the enemy was thinly dressed, and after the gunshots were fired, many of them were covering their heads or rolling on the ground, screaming and wailing incessantly.

Fire. The sound of the guns greatly deterred the other enemies, who had previously been fired. The gun was scared, like a frightened bird, and thought it was the fire of the new village. The guns and ammunition had been exhausted, and now that the gunfire was heard, the enemy was in disarray.

Just when there was a short period of confusion, Jia Bin waited for a dozen people to enter the enemy formation, they drew their sabers, rushed left and right, and the enemy was quickly beaten to pieces.

The appearance of Jia Binjiu gave Xincun a chance to breathe. The soldiers guarding Yu Xiang calmed down from the chaos and formed a new mandarin duck formation. Jia Bin accepted it after seeing it for a long time, and led a few people to join Yu Xiang's battle array, and the other people took their horses and ran towards the Thirteen-Mile Bridge.

Qi Dayong's team also took this opportunity to reorganize the formation, get close to Yu Xiang's battle formation, and take care of each other.

Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo saw it in their eyes, and they were even more determined to get rid of Yu Xiang, they knew that if they didn't get rid of this person today, they were afraid that in the future, there would be no more opportunities. With more than 1,000 people, Xincun withstood the siege of an army ten times its size, and if it took time, as long as Xincun cultivated enough strength, I am afraid that no one would be able to defeat it. Although they have experienced many brutal battles, there has not been a time like this, and everyone died without surrendering. This kind of fighting spirit has never been seen before.

At this time, Jia Binjiu and a few nights did not accept the fire in their hands after joining Yu Xiang's battle array. The gun, suddenly exerted its power, giving the other party a great shock, every time it fired, it could shoot down a piece, the mandarin duck array in Xincun, led by Yu Xiang's battle array, the battle array was connected, and it became a big centipede battle array.

Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo were very anxious, they were about to win just now, but they didn't expect to be rushed by a few horses, and the situation immediately changed. The situation gets tricky. Of their 10,000-strong team, there are only about 1,000 people left, and these elite soldiers are their life. The root is their capital, and if these people lose it all, it will be too difficult to make a comeback.

Seeing that the number of people in the new village was far less than his own, Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo decided to seize the opportunity and launch a thunderous blow. They also want to learn from Xincun, organize a battle formation, order the people in the front row, hold a rattan card, a Xincun spear, and attack the Xincun Mandarin Duck Formation.

The rattan brand has a good defense against scattered bullets, which greatly reduces the threat of scattered bullets to them. They formed a long formation, and taking advantage of the large number of people, they swooped towards Yu Xiang's battle formation with the momentum of eagles catching chickens.

Although the enemy's battle formation was relatively unfamiliar, these people had been in the battlefield for a long time, and they were quickly handy with weapons, so they quickly gained the upper hand.

The spearmen of the new village and the enemy appeared to stab each other, often losing both sides, and both sides were playing with their lives and did not back down from each other.

There were half more casualties in the new village, and Jia Binjiu's fire. The gun fired at the enemy's place where there was no rattan card, and the new village fired. The gun shoots at a long distance, which still gives the enemy a great deterrent. With a few fires at night without collecting a few shots. With the support of the guns, the Xincun team did not finally disintegrate, but the situation was very critical, and there was a danger of annihilation at any time.

But now although the sun is far west, there is no news of the collapse of the sky.

Just when Yu Xiang was struggling to support, there was a noisy shouting from the direction of the Thirteen-Mile Bridge, and a group of people rushed over, and the one who ran in front was actually the martial saint Ai Lianchi, and there was a lean old man with a white beard, wearing a Taoist robe, and a wind under his feet. Behind the martial saint, a man less than six feet tall, with an astonishing head, a naked, shiny head, and wearing a ragged sermon robe. There are many others, and the rest of the monks and nuns have it, as if they are holding a martial arts conference.

Zhuge Shanzhen was beside Yu Xiang, and said in surprise: "My master, senior brother, and many people from the rivers and lakes are here, and the new village is saved!" ”

Yu Xiang was so excited when he heard that Zhuge Shanzhen, who had always been calm, knew that this was not a lie. Yu Xiang pointed to Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, who were commanding in front of the battle, and said: "You must not let these two escape, you must see people in life, and you must see corpses in death." ”

His words undoubtedly gave an order, and Zhuge Shanzhen, Jia Binjiu and others could hear it clearly.

Jia Bin saw that victory was promising for a long time, and he moved his mind again, and said: "If I catch these two people, what reward will there be?" ”

Yu Xiang saw him joking again, so he said: "If you catch it, I will give you a matchmaker and marry a daughter-in-law." He understood Jia Binjiu's careful thoughts.

Jia Binjiu laughed and said: "In a word, it is difficult to chase the horse." "After all, this kid actually got out of the formation.

Yu Xiang was just about to stop him, but this kid had already gotten out of the formation, blended into the crowd, and disappeared. Yu Xiang wanted to tell him to be careful, but he had already run away.

Soon, the Martial Saint led the people of the rivers and lakes to join the battle, and the entire battle situation was immediately reversed, only to see the Martial Saint holding a fish-scale purple gold knife, and almost all the people who stood in front of him were killed by him with one sword.

These martial arts people, all extraordinary, one is ten, the lean old man, there is no weapon in his hand, but if he wants to attack him, he is unlucky, I saw him shoot like lightning, easily dodged the weapon in the opponent's hand, and then inserted the opponent's weapon into the opponent's chest.

The nun's dust and the monk's shovel have become murderous weapons at this moment, and the team of 100 people rushed into the enemy formation, like thousands of troops.

The enemy's position was in chaos, Qi Dayong also launched a counteroffensive, the mandarin duck array was disbanded, Liu Xiangyong, Liu Xiangxin, Liu Xiangyi, Zhang Erhu, Zhuge Shanzhen and others were like tigers out of the cage, and everywhere they went, the enemy fell to the ground one after another. The enemy army immediately collapsed, scattered and fled, wolves rushed to the pigs, hugged their heads and scurried, on the hillside, and in the woods were full of fleeing enemies.

Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo saw that the defeat was like a mountain, and knew that the general situation had gone, so they hurriedly fled into the dense forest.

There were not many people left in the new village, and there were many things to deal with on the battlefield, and seeing these two people fleeing, they couldn't spare the energy to chase after them, so they had to give up.

Zhang Xianzhong received a messenger who ran back from the front line, saying that the front line was defeated, and he also knew that the general trend had gone, so he hurriedly took more than 200 cronies, rode fast horses, and fled in a hurry.

Qi Dayong returned to the army and cleaned up the battlefield, and Li Gang led the logistics staff to immediately put away his own disabled personnel.

Yu Xiang and the red lady went to see the master. Martial saint Ai Lianchi smiled and helped Yu Xiang and the red lady up and said, "Xiang'er, red lady, get up, you don't have to stick to etiquette." Xincun escaped this catastrophe, he was happy from the bottom of his heart, happy to have such a capable apprentice, in the world, that master does not want the apprentice to have a future.

The martial saint said to Yu Xiang: "Xiang'er, come, let me introduce you." ”

He pointed to the lean old man beside him with white hair and wearing a Taoist robe, and said, "This is the famous Donghai Immortal Weng Kongkong Daoist who shocked the martial arts, and he is also your nominal master." ”

Yu Xiang immediately understood, and at the same time was very shocked, in order to fool Governor Chen, he pinched an empty man as a teacher, but he didn't expect that there was really such a person.

Yu Xiang hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Senior Yu Xiang to meet the master." ”

The empty man laughed and said: "I didn't expect that I accepted an apprentice in a daze, and I am still a world-famous young hero, I am honored, hahaha!" ”

The martial saint said: "Immortal Weng, this is my apprentice, you can't snatch love with a sword." ”

After that, the two martial arts masters laughed again.
