Chapter 698: The Bloody Battle of Crow's Bird Ridge (3)

In the Yaque Ridge military village, the golden drum roared, the sound of killing shook the sky, and wave after wave of attacking soldiers rushed towards the defensive position of the horizontal knife division standing on the top of the mountain like a sea wave. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Stone bullets flew in the air, the unique whistling sound of the eight-bull crossbow resounded throughout the battlefield, every sound, it meant the loss of several or even more than a dozen lives, the defenders used the inherent geographical advantages and sophisticated equipment, so that the attackers returned again and again without attacking, and the attackers pushed the Mengchong car, carried the ladder, hit the wood, and launched a decisive attack again and again without hesitation.

This is the third day, Zhou Zuhao and Ouyang Gangqiang two troops took turns to fight, but they did not make any achievements, only left a corpse in front of the military village, high above the main fort of the military village, the Dingzhou military flag is still flying high.

At this point in the bloody battle, both sides had killed their eyes, the originally soft ground had been trampled on iron, the blood from the wounded and the dead seeped into the ground, making the yellow earth turn purple and black, and the stump arms and limbs were everywhere, and now it was a scorching heat, and the smell of these things was really disgusting.

The ladder was attached to the wall, and some soldiers desperately pulled the rope tied to the center of the ladder to prevent the ladder from being pushed away by their opponents, while the others immediately climbed upwards, and this phase was the most lethal for all the soldiers, as they lost almost all their protective abilities.

On the top of the military wall, there are some push rods against the ladder at once, and the ladder is pushed outward, which is a process of wrestling, but it is the advantage of the city, in the process of pushing, some other soldiers pick up the stone and smash it down, either the soldiers who are climbing in the sulfur, or the people who hit the people below. The most terrifying thing is that the ladder happens to be under the rolling log, at this time, the Dingzhou soldiers only need to put down the rope of the rolling log, and the rolling wood full of sharp blades falls down the city wall, and the soldiers on the ladder are cut down like shaving their heads, and the worst thing is that some are pierced by sharp blades, when the rolling wood rises again, people are still hanging on it, and the sound of wailing and screaming is almost like a human voice. In the face of such a thing, the only thing the castle could do was to pounce on the log as soon as it fell, and use a long chopping knife to cut the rope on the log, so that it could not rise up for a second attack.

An officer belonging to the Beijing division battalion finally climbed the city wall, stood on the city wall, held a long horse chopping knife, and cut off several spears that stabbed at him for the first time, and swept the Quartet with a knife, forcing away the Dingzhou army around him, he roared and jumped off the wall battlement, landed on the wall, waved the horse chopping knife, and opened a big circle, and behind him, there were immediately more than a dozen soldiers of the Beijing division battalion who climbed up, surrounded the officer, and worked hard to maintain this hard-won bridgehead, guarding the ladder behind him, Waiting for more people to climb up.

"Up, up!" Ouyang Gangqiang jumped up excitedly, after three days of fighting, this was the first time he had attacked the city wall, and turned to look at Zhou Zuhao beside him, "This is Niu Geng, the first fierce general under a certain command, how about it, or are the soldiers of our Beijing Division battalion superior?" "The smugness is beyond words.

The two sides have cooperated to attack for a few days, and some of the unpleasantness before has long been gone, and fighting side by side on the battlefield is the easiest way for two men to burst out of friendship, although Ouyang Gangqiang is proud, but there is more of a hint of ridicule in his tone, in the past three days, the courage of Qinzhou soldiers has also left a deep impression on him.

Zhou Zuhao smiled slightly, "The officers and soldiers of the Beijing Division Battalion are selected from all over the country, and their individual combat ability is, of course, the brave champion of the three armies. "Although the soldiers of the Beijing Division Battalion have taken the lead, they do not admit defeat verbally, your individual ability is strong, but in group combat, we will not lose to you.

Ouyang Gangqiang laughed, he had already gained the upper hand, but he didn't think much of it, he didn't have to fight verbally to win or lose, the two fought a verbal battle, but their eyes were staring at the point that had just broken through, it may be easy to break through, but it is even more difficult to hold, if you can't keep it, everything is in vain.

At this point that the city was broken through, the formation of the Dingzhou army on the city wall suddenly became extremely flat, and the two sides desperately squeezed to the middle, but the defense became weak on the forward passage, this change of formation, so that the attacking Niu Geng involuntarily moved forward step by step, and he moved, surrounded by him, the attacking soldiers who climbed up in advance also moved forward, which made them farther and farther away from the city wall.

The parties in the vicious battle were still unconscious, but Ouyang Gangqiang and Zhou Zuhao, who were watching the battle under the city, were shocked and discolored, and before the two of them had time to react, there was a bang, the form of the city had changed greatly, and the soldiers of the Dingzhou Hengdao Division, who were desperately squeezing forward, finally joined the dragon behind Niu Geng, cutting off his retreat, and the attackers who were climbing up from this point immediately encountered a catastrophe.

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Ouyang Gang was so anxious that he screamed, Niu Geng, who had been cut off from retreat, was like a fish that had lost water, even if he was a shark, sooner or later he would have to be torn off piece by piece, turned into a skeleton, and became the trophy of the Dingzhou soldiers.

Niu Geng, who was in his early thirties, was an extremely experienced general, and when his way back was cut off on the wall, and his comrades around him fell one by one, he noticed the change in time.

"Go back!" He yelled, turned around, slashed with his sword, and turned to kill again at the city wall.

The soldiers of Dingzhou blocked this fierce killing god, and they were slashed by him for a while, and they actually succeeded in approaching the city wall.

"It's not easy to come, and it's even harder to leave!" A loud shout suddenly sounded among the soldiers in Dingzhou, and a general in full armor held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and jumped out of the group of soldiers.

When the wind was coming, all the soldiers of the Beijing Division Battalion around Niu Geng had fallen, leaving him a bare-pole general, seeing the opponent who was attacking in the air, the swords in his hand made a sharp spin, forcing away the spears and knives around him, and wanted to block the opponent's volley.

With a soft sound, soaked in tung oil, and then wrapped around the outside of the wire of the mulberry wood knife rod immediately broken into two, the hand suddenly light, Niu Geng couldn't help but be shocked, the opponent's knife just paused slightly, and then once again straight down, the body suddenly twisted in place, and at the same time the broken knife in both hands also stabbed the opponent at the same time, if the opponent's knife did not change straight down, it was a lose-lose situation.

The opponent snorted coldly, his body turned sideways, the knife changed slightly, and this knife was cut off against Niu Geng's face, almost making Niu Geng lose his nose forever.

Escaping the misfortune of a knife and cutting off his head, Niu Geng was also covered in a cold sweat, the advantage of the opponent's sword, and the strength was far beyond his imagination. There was no time to change the blades in his hand, so he could only wield two severed knives and fight with his opponent.

The other party roared again and again, the knife continued to chop down like raindrops, and the strength of each knife made Niu Geng's heart chill, at this time, he dared to use the knife in his hand to frame the opponent's war knife at will, if it was cut off again, the weapon in his hand would almost become a dagger.

The two of them tumbled and rolled together, making a bunch of fights, but the Dingzhou soldiers around them were not easy to start, the two changed positions frequently, their bodies were extremely fast, and if they were shot, they might be pierced on their own generals, so they could only surround themselves and keep cheering for their own people.

Niu Geng fought for a while, and he knew that it was not good, the opponent's martial arts were extremely high, not under him, no matter how long he fought, he could not win, the problem was that this was the enemy's territory, it didn't matter if the enemy was defeated, he missed a mistake, he was afraid that he would turn into a sieve, and he was full of holes. While fighting, I was urgently thinking about how to get out in my heart. Although this situation is extremely embarrassing for him, he has also invisibly solved the situation of being besieged.

On the main fort, Guan Xinglong accompanied Li Qingzheng to watch this dragon and tiger fight with interest, "Lord, will this move fool the opponent?" ”

Li Qing didn't answer him directly, but said with a smile: "The Jingshi camp is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, this enemy general's martial arts are very good, if you compete in a fair environment, the iron leopard is only afraid that it is not an opponent." ”

Guan Xinglong said with a smile: "The Beijing Division Battalion selects the best soldiers and strong generals in the country, and it is natural that they are fierce generals, but my Dingzhou is not bad, not to mention General Wang Qinian, the general who crosses the mountain wind, it is my Guan, if you raise a knife and go into battle, the enemy general in front of you, within ten moves, will definitely be cut at the moment." ”

Li Qing laughed, "Yes, yes, I forgot, but the horizontal knife next to me is immediate, only I am General Guan!" Glancing at the fierce fight on the city wall, "That kid is going to run away." ”

"Iron Leopard pretended to be stupid and pretended to be good, he wanted the other party's life here, this is simply escorting the opponent to the next level!" Guan Xinglong laughed.

"Run, run!" Li Qing propped himself up on the wall and said, "Xinglong, in the past few days, the strength we have shown has always made the opponent feel that it is a line behind, so next, we have to make the opponent feel desperate." ”

"Of course!" Guan Xinglong said: "Next, we will let the opponent know what the real Dingzhou Army is rampant in the world. ”

On the city wall, the iron leopard and Guan Xinglong tumbled and rolled to the edge of the city wall, Niu Geng's back was against the city wall, and he was secretly happy in his heart, only the last point was missing, and he could get out.

"Eat my iron leopard!" The iron leopard seems to be in this scene, or the opponent has resisted for so long, feeling a big loss of face, roaring, holding the knife in both hands, splitting the head, the empty door in front of him is wide open, Niu Geng can't help but be overjoyed, one hand up, the other hand holds the half-cut knife rod violently forward, the blade at the end of the pole is not a play, it is really going to be pierced, even if it can't wear through the armor, but the severe pain can not be avoided.

The Iron Leopard snorted, put away the knife, and retreated, this moment of opportunity was the opportunity that Niu Geng had been waiting for for a long time, the horse chopping knife in his hand spun sharply, forcing away the chaotic guns around him, and the people had already climbed the city wall, and laughed: "Iron Leopard, let's fight again in the future." "One fell upside down, and the whole person fell to the city wall, and the soldiers on the city wall were all startled, and rushed to the city wall, looking down.

After falling more than ten meters downward, the chopping knife in his hand slashed violently into the city wall, the blade was embedded in the city wall, and the huge force made the blade burst out with a burst of sparks, all the way down, among the sparks, Niu Geng's rapid body began to slow down, and when he was a few meters from the ground, Niu Geng let go of the hand holding the knife, at this time, his right hand holding the knife, was full of blood, as soon as he landed, the soldiers around him immediately rushed up, raised the shield, and retreated sharply.

"Good boy, that's good!" The iron leopard on the city wall also nodded his head when he saw the opponent retreating so cleanly, but he felt a little regretful in his heart, and he was really a little unwilling to be able to kill such a brave general on the city.

And the soldiers of the Qinzhou army and the Beijing division battalion under the city couldn't help but cheer loudly when they saw Niu Geng escape from the city like a divine soldier descending from the sky.

In the midst of applause, this time the attack came back in a hurry.

"What did you say?" Zhou Zuhao and Ouyang Gangqiang both stood up solemnly, and looked straight at Niu Geng, who was bandaging the wounds on his hands by the military doctor, "The Dingzhou general who fought with you called himself the Iron Leopard?" ”

Niu Geng nodded, "Yes, he calls himself the Iron Leopard, his martial arts are very good, and his knife, tsk, is really sharp, as soon as the knife comes down, he will cut my knife shaft in two, if I don't react quickly, I won't be able to come back today." ”

Zhou Zuhao and Ouyang Gangqiang ignored Niu Geng and glanced at each other, "How can it be an iron leopard?" ”

"Why can't it be him?" Niu Geng, who stood up with his hands wrapped, looked at the two generals in puzzlement.

Ouyang Gangqiang looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Iron Leopard is Li Qing's personal guard in Dingzhou, he is Li Qing's shadow, if he is here, then Li Qing?" ”

Zhou Zuhao's face was excited, and he forcibly suppressed himself, "This is just our speculation. Whether Li Qing is here or not depends on the reaction of the Dingzhou Army next. ”

Ouyang Gang clenched his fists strongly, and his hands trembled nervously, if Li Qing was really here, then he would be furious.

"Why is Li Qing here?"

Zhou Zuhao pondered for a moment, "It is very likely that Li Qing happened to come here to inspect, and our attack was very sudden, and the troops of Youben Kuan did not rush here to meet us as originally planned, but slanted into the Xiaoai River, cutting off the other party's way of return, so that Li Qing could not go back." ”

"If this is the case, then the mountain wind in Qinzhou will definitely blow up the nest, and in a short period of time, we will inevitably raise a large army and come to the rescue, so as long as we find the military movement of Qinzhou's mountain wind, we can judge whether Li Qing is here?" Ouyang Gangqiang said excitedly.

"There is another way, that is, if we build the Yaqueling Military Village, we can know whether Li Qing is here or not?" Zhou Zuhao said.

"Fight, of course we have to do our best to fight, but at the same time, we also have to inform Xingzhou of the situation that Li Qing may be here, and ask General Zhou to make a decision quickly, and now, Shang Shoufu and Yuan Commander are still in Xingzhou, and they should judge together, it should be fine." Ouyang said strongly.

"You are right, we will send a document to Xingzhou immediately, and at the same time we will pass on the military information to Ben Kuan, so that he will block the passage of the Xiaoai River at any cost, so as to buy us more time, if our judgment is good, then, he is likely to be attacked extremely fiercely."

Xiaoai River, on a slope, the Xingzhou soldiers led by Ben Kuan lined up on the hillside, in front of the soldiers, is a defense line composed of chariots, in front of each chariot, are tied with a sharp blade with cold light, behind the chariot, one by one spears are erected, the line is a forest of guns, and under the hillside, Li Feng's Yizhou battalion cavalry is coiling itself, seeing the military formation on the slope, Li Feng spat hatefully, "I have to fight again, and I can't really smash the opponent, fuck, this job really makes people feel guilty." ”

He looked up for a while, and said loudly: "Li Tie, attack." ”

"Yes, General!" Li Tie answered the order loudly, grabbed the horse's belly, took the lead, and rushed to the hillside.

The cavalry dispersed, accelerated on the flat ground, and then rushed towards the slope, waving the iron bones with iron chains in their hands, and as the cavalry entered the range of bows and arrows, a dark cloud suddenly burst out from the hillside, first rushing into the sky, and then a U-turn, and rushing towards the galloping cavalry.

The rain of arrows fell, and immediately the soldiers just bowed their heads slightly, allowing the rain of arrows to fall on the armor, at the same time, the iron bones in their hands had already flown out, and the heavy iron bones were connected to the chains, whistling and flying up the guns, smashing the soldiers in the guns one after another, rushing up the slope, along the opponent's car formation, the cavalry went around in a circle, and rushed down from the other end, and the back followed closely up, the rain of arrows and the iron bones flew in the air, and soldiers on both sides fell from time to time.

Although Ben Kuan occupies the terrain, he does not dare to take the initiative to attack, Dingzhou Iron Cavalry has a thick shadow in his heart, these soldiers under his command rely on each other, rely on the military formation, and can barely resist the opponent, but if he takes the initiative to attack, once the military formation is dispersed, he is extremely worried that he will not be able to block the impact of the opponent.

This shock and counter-impact lasted for about half an hour, and after each side paid hundreds of lives, Li Feng took the initiative to retreat and opened a certain distance from the other party.

Such an attack, for several days, has to be staged almost every day, the result is always the same, as time goes by, Ben Kuan's confidence is played day by day, and the world-famous Dingzhou soldiers are just like this, after a few days, they did not suffer much loss. It made him feel extremely better.

But his good mood was completely destroyed with a secret letter from Ouyang Gangqiang and Zhou Zuhao on the side of the Yaqueling Military Village, seeing what was said in the letter, Ben Kuan couldn't help but be shocked, if it was really as they said, he would be able to resist not the cavalry battalion in front of him, but the Qinzhou Mountain Wind Group that didn't know how many soldiers and horses, it was nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, and if they really came together, they would be swallowed up and there wouldn't be much left.

Ben Kuan regretted this, he was wrong at that time, and he wanted to come here to block the back road of the opponent's escape, now it's okay, besiege Yaqueling, catch a rare feat like Li Qing, and you can't get a single star, but you have to block the opponent's powerful reinforcements here, isn't this looking for your own death?

"Come on, report to General Zhou immediately, I can't stop it here, I can't stop it!" Ben Kuan howled in pain.
