Zhang Fang fled back to the camp in embarrassment, and gathered the remaining surviving soldiers, who were no more than a dozen! Zhang Fang was angry and didn't fight anywhere, so he took more than a dozen remnants of soldiers, carrying bloody knives, and came to the Chinese army tent of the King of the East China Sea in a rage.

Zhang Fang waved at the East China Sea King, then turned around and pointed at Zheng Qiu's envoy, and said angrily: "Bold dog!" You, the lackey of the Zheng family, dare to murder the general! ”

The man sent by Zheng Qiu was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did the general say this?" ”

Zhang Fang's face was full of anger, and he said hatefully: "Since it was a surprise sneak attack, why was our army trapped in the city by Sima Shu's kid as soon as it entered the city gate, causing our army to be almost wiped out?" Your Majesty, you have to call the shots for this general, and ask for an explanation for my thousands of brothers! ”

The man sent by Zheng Qiu sat in the tent, and when he saw Zhang Fang angry, he defended: "Isn't this city gate open? As for the leakage of the news, it is not necessarily the fault of our Zheng family. ”

Zhang Fang said hatefully: "It's true that the city gate is open, but it's your intelligence that is wrong." Say that people don't know the ghosts, no one has discovered the ghosts in your Zheng family, why were the people trapped by Tuan Tuan as soon as they entered the city? What did you say that when you entered the city gate, an avenue led directly to Sima Shu's camp, but there were traps and deep pits everywhere, and the front was intercepted and blocked, and thousands of people and horses were almost not survived, this is your intelligence? ”

The man sent by Zheng Qiu rolled his eyes, and had no choice but to deny it: "Can you blame our Zheng family?" If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for leaking the news, so that Sima Shu'er is ready! ”

The dozen or so pro-soldiers behind Zhang Fang were all from Jiangyang thieves, and each of them was a man who had been in battle for a long time and had been fighting from the rain of swords, guns and arrows. is usually covered by Zhang Fang and is very arrogant in the army, and he is already holding back his anger after today's defeat. Listen to the other person. Don't say a word, shout. A dozen knives were thrown and beckoned to each other!

Neither the King of the East China Sea nor the King of Hejian would have thought that the remnants of Zhang Fang's soldiers would dare to kill people with knives here. In addition, the person sent by Zheng Qiu was only a stone's throw away from the defeated army, and by the time a cold light flashed, before the king of the East China Sea could react, the messenger of the Zheng family had already become a ball of meat sauce!

When the king of the East China Sea saw that the man sent by Zheng Qiu had died, he was furious, slapped out his palm, knocked the wine cup in front of him to the ground, and then roared, "Someone." Drag down this group of bold rebels to the widow and cut them down! ”

In an instant, hundreds of guards were about to take down Zhang Fang and the others, and at this time, Zhang Fang was already stunned by the tragic scene in front of him, and when he heard the order of the king of the East China Sea, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Fortunately, Xun Kai was present, and he hurriedly shouted: "Lord Wang, no!" General Zhang is the confidant of the King of Hejian, and now the enemy has not retreated. It is unwise to kill the general first! ”

The King of the East Sea also woke up from his fury at this time, and he knew that Zhang Fang could not be killed, otherwise the King of Hejian would have to turn his face against him. So he waved his hand. Let the guards go out and drag a few remnants of the soldiers to retreat, seeing this scene, Zhang Fang's face is like black iron, and he no longer pays attention to the people present. Then he turned and walked out of the tent.

The scene in the rebel camp was soon known to Sima Shu and others, and everyone was very excited. Yao Gezhong even said regretfully: "Why didn't the King of the East China Sea kill Zhang Fang?" Alas, alas, alas, alas! ”

Sima Shu glared at the other party angrily. "You kid should be content, after this trouble, the king of the river and the king of the East China Sea will not want to cooperate with each other again. Of course, they have never cooperated seamlessly, and this time it only increased the contradictions between the two sides. In response to this, we must continue, which will one day become a fatal hole for the rebels. ”

The king of the East Sea calmed down from his rage, beckoned to his subordinates, and ordered the guards to carry the corpses out and bury them. The more he thought about today's matter, the more he felt that he was in the bag, and said to Xun Kai next to him: "It seems that we can no longer rely on the waste under the King of Hejian." It is better to let our army replace the men and horses of the king of the river from today onwards and fight to the end with the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass. ”

Xun Kai nodded and said: "The battle of Tiger Prison Pass is a decisive battle between us and the crown prince, judging from the current situation, these people are originally supporting roles and are not worth relying on." If we want to defeat the prince's army, we have to rely on our men. Your Majesty will order the men to prepare for an attack! Xun Kai turned around and walked out of the big tent, and immediately ordered everyone to prepare for the siege.

How could the movement of the rebels be concealed from Sima Shu. In order to suppress the long-range firepower of the defenders, the rebels are building tall earthen cities a stone's throw away from the Tiger Pass. The feather forest guards around the earth city are heavily guarded, the swords and halberds are shining, and the cold light is reflecting the sun.

This earthen city suddenly appeared in the rebel camp, and the soldiers on the Tiger Prison Pass saw it very clearly, and Zu Yue hurriedly sent someone to report to Sima Shu. When the prince heard the news from the soldiers, he immediately came to the city with Li Teh and others.

Li Teh and the others looked at the tall earthen city, and immediately understood that a vicious battle was coming, and said worriedly: "The king of the East China Sea is angry and angry, and he wants to use his earthwork to deal with the Tiger Prison Pass, and he does not hesitate to recruit tens of thousands of young people around!" ”

Sima Shu said coldly: "What should come will come after all, I'm afraid it's useless." The soldiers will block, and the water will flood. Tell all the generals and soldiers to prepare for battle! ”

Under the tiger prison, the sword halberd is like a forest, the army array is like a mountain, and the flag is like a cloud. The two vassal kings and the generals stood in front of the battle, each with bright armor and a majestic style. Especially the Xianbei cavalry led by the Xianbei leader Duan Wumuchen, in terms of size, they are obviously stronger than the Han people in the Central Plains, and the big horses they ride are also larger than ordinary horses, which is particularly eye-catching, and the Xianbei cavalry is on the left flank of the rebels.

An hour later, nearly 200,000 rebels were in formation, with horses and chariots. At the head of the city are strong soldiers holding Pu knives and glaring angrily, and next to them are archers with quivers, bent bows and arrows, and expressionless archers. Swords and shields are responsible for melee combat, and archers are responsible for long-range attacks.

Li Teh looked at the rebels' slowly moving siege well fence, and had the intention to give the rebels a dismount, and personally operated a strong crossbow to shoot an arrow at the rebel banner on the opposite side.

The spear seemed to be a feather arrow breaking through the air, like a meteor breaking through the sky, through the rebel formation, accurately shot on the rebel soldier on the rear flagpole, the sound of the "bell", the arrow shot into the flagpole column, up to a few inches deep, the tail of the arrow trembled more than once, there was a sound!

The surrounding rebel soldiers were shocked, and their faces turned pale one by one! I thought to myself, if this arrow just shot me, wouldn't it be ......

The rebel soldiers were frightened by Li Te's arrow, and they inevitably had to be discouraged in terms of momentum. There are also many experts among the rebels who are proficient in strategy and know the benefits of being the first to take the lead. In order to save his momentum, the king of the East China Sea ordered the Xianbei people to go out and give full play to his good riding and archery skills.

Thousands of Xianbei people instigated horses, and at a place a stone's throw away from the city wall, they reined in their horses and shot arrows, and the arrows shot out were so powerful that they flew with a whistling sound with the help of the horse's impulse. Most of the soldiers in the defending army had heard of the prestige of the Hu cavalry archery, and some had even suffered from the Hu cavalry archery. Therefore, at the sight of it, my legs trembled slightly.

Due to the long period of internal migration, the Xianbei people have long mastered some of the iron-making and steel-making techniques of the Central Plains Dynasty, and the bows and arrows they use are much more powerful than their ancestors. Thousands of arrows flew out at the same time, with a range of hundreds of zhang, and the killing distance, strength and accuracy were much higher than those of the cavalry units in the Central Plains.

The guards wore only thin leather armor, and unless they wore heavy foot armor, they would surely be pierced by these ferocious arrows. The soldiers who defended the city knew that once they were hit by arrows, and those arrows with barbs and venom were stained, no one could escape the call of death.

Seeing that the Xianbei cavalry had such a powerful long-range strike ability, the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass raised their shields one after another, and the surrounding soldiers either hid at the base of the wall, some hid under the shields, some got into the city tower, and some simply used their knives to vigorously swing the arrows shot at their heads.

Seeing that the defenders were in a mess, the king of the East China Sea laughed, waved his hand, and the arrows and crossbows in the battle array were fired together, covering the sky and the sun like a raging storm.

Pity the panicked soldiers and civilians who had nowhere to hide, and in an instant they were shot into hedgehogs by their bows and crossbows, and they looked at the arrows that pierced through their chests with wide eyes and horror, as if they didn't believe that the spurting was their own blood.

But just for a moment, I had to collapse on the city wall, what if I didn't look at it?

Seeing that the King of the East China Sea connived at the Xianbei people to kill the flesh and blood of the defenders, Sima Shu couldn't help but shout angrily: "Sima Yue, you are the king of the Han family, and you dare to collude with other races to kill the people of the Central Plains, aren't you afraid of leaving an infamy in history?" Sooner or later, you will be killed, Xianbei children, you listen well, sooner or later, Lao Tzu will definitely kill into your lair, if you don't talk about cutting the grass and roots, Lao Tzu swears not to be a person! ”

When Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, heard this, he laughed wildly, and then waved his long sword, pointed at Sima Shu, and said sharply: "You yourself are also worthy of teaching this king a lesson, if you hadn't forcibly suppressed the families in various places and caused many families to die and be wiped out, how could there be today's difficulties?" Do you still have the face to accuse this king? The Xianbei people are the volunteers invited by the widows, specially used to crusade against Vaer and others, and now they have only killed a few of you, so they will use the righteousness to scare the king. Thou shalt tell this king, where is the righteousness? Who do you think this king will listen to your hypocritical words? ”

Duan Wumuchen, the leader of Xianbei, was also worried that the Xianbei soldiers would cause the common hatred of the people of the Central Plains at first, but now after listening to the words of the King of the East China Sea, he couldn't help but applaud loudly, pointing at Sima Shu and smiling: "Hehe, prince, prince, don't you know that there is a lot of help for the righteous and little help for the unjust?" Your own perverse actions have caused the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people, and we Xianbei people are just doing the right thing for the heavens! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, let's see the real chapter under our hands! The congregation will obey the order! Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Crossbow ready to fight back! The musketeers immediately counterattacked! Give the enemy a little color and voila! ”

A tragic offensive and defensive battle started again, and the decisive battle of Tiger Prison Pass officially entered the most critical moment! (To be continued......)
