Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Near and far are full of the sound of a large group of people and horses, Chen Huwei seems to be in a noisy market.

A wooden barrel slapped on the surface of the water, and the waves overturned the aquatic plants above his head, Chen Huwei naturally shrank down, and suddenly heard an exclamation not far away, "There are people in the water!" ”

I don't know which brother was revealed, Chen Huwei jumped up, grabbed the arm of the soldier who was fetching water with his left hand, and gently pulled it in, and the man shouted "Ah......" and fell into the river. As soon as his body touched the water, the shouting stopped abruptly, because Chen Huwei's spikes had pierced his throat.

The sound of falling water sounded in several other places near the water's edge, and some people were pulled directly into the bottom of the river, opening their mouths to cooing and drinking at the bottom of the water.

But the water in Suzhou Creek can't be drunk.

"Withdraw!" Chen Huwei didn't want to fight, and a fierce man plunged into the bottom of the water and swam away from the stone bridge.

"There's someone in the water!"

The soldiers on the shore ran in amazement, and some came with bows and arrows, but the visibility on the water was extremely low, and the waves rolled down silently.

Chen Huwei and the other thirty people are all good hands who can toss in the sea, and one of them pierced thirty steps away, exposed his head for two breaths, and dived into the river again. Most of Li Chengdong's subordinates were landlubbers from all over the Central Plains and Shaanxi, and even a few of them did not dare to go down the Suzhou Creek in the dark.

Soldiers on both sides of the river ran with torches in their hands, and archers followed, aiming their bows at the illuminated current.

No matter how good the water is, people must also be exposed to the water to breathe.

Because they are people, not fish.

Li Chengdong has a high-level archery in the army, his eyes are as sharp as night owls, and he keeps an eye on the river with his bow.

South Shore, in the dark.

Seven thousand feet were afraid to hit the ground, the swords were unsheathed, and the fire rope was lit.

The noise by the river here has not stopped, Li Chengdong didn't take a few water couges seriously, and was about to urge the horse to cross the stone bridge.

Suddenly, a mournful cry came from his ears: "There is an ambush!" ”

In the distance, the torches of the scouts who preceded them ran back as if they had lost their souls, and the darkness behind them was filled with heavy gasps and noisy footsteps.

"Kill!" Finally, someone couldn't help but shout out first.

On the left, on the right, and due south, mountain people with knives roared.

This time, Zuo Ruo did not use pikemen to take the lead to wear down the sharpness of Li Chengdong's army, and the most elite Chinese army rushed to the front, like a sharp knife straight in the direction of the stone bridge.

They had been waiting for a long time, and all the strength they had held for a day was released at this moment.

"Sneak attack!"

Li Chengdong turned his head to see that there were still four soldiers and horses behind him who had not crossed the river, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his body. The stone bridge was narrow, and it was too late to retreat, so he urged his horse to cross the river in a few steps, and ordered: "All battalions assemble to meet the enemy!" ”

In the camp on the south bank, the water in the iron pot is only steaming, and some people are still busy setting up tents. The soldiers frantically put on the armor they had just taken off and found the spears that were stacked together.

The Dark Mountain Folk are like demons that suddenly appear, they like to run like this, and they are finally free from the tight constraints of the military town and can attack where they want to go. They were fearless, because the two days of bloody fighting had slowly familiarized them with the smell of the battlefield, which was actually the smell of blood.

A chaotic and wild group of sneak attackers formed a bow-backed queue around the bridge, and the mountaineers threw their stolen torches into the half-pitched tents.

Blazing flames erupted, illuminating the battlefield in a radius of several feet.

In the camp where the prisoners rested, the soldiers were looking for the generals, and the generals were looking for the soldiers. The outermost soldiers picked up their weapons in a panic to resist, and when they saw their companions disappearing into the crowd behind them completely regardless of their fate, their originally firm hearts also became shaken.

Zuo Ruo commanded the Chinese army to charge into the enemy line and split from the center, like a sharp spear suddenly splitting from it, like a poisonous snake with two heads, and then revealing the bird's hand hidden behind.

"Stop!" The thousand people in the bird gun queue raised their hands to stop the brisk walking queue.

The Bird Soldier stands with a steel fork in his left hand and places the Bird Gun on the fork with his right hand. Seeing that the situation was not good, the oncoming Qing Lu frantically pounced, and the nearest enemy was only a dozen steps away from the gunner.

The smell of burning the fire rope is like grease on a fire tray.

"Release!"

The firerope touched the lead, and in the desperate roar of the Qingyu, a neat row of guns rang out.

After the smoke of gunpowder filled, the front became the location of the Shura field. Lead is flying, and everyone is gone. The lead shot from the flat chest did not kill a person quickly, and all the gunners were wounded lying on the ground screaming miserably.

The first row of gunners retreated, and the second row of gunners went up.

"Release!"

Mr. Qian's shouting is summoning the demon to come.

These birds were the trophies of Songjiang Castle and Huating County. Li Chengdong's army was quite well-armed, but it was really less equipped, and after two victories, only more than 200 shots were captured. Not only the birds, but also the mountain people, except for the sharp blades in their hands and the cloth shirts on their bodies, everything was seized from the hands of the Qing captives. They had three-eyed guns and simple armor, some of which had been ripped from dead bodies, others taken from captives.

The two rounds of lead passed, the gunners loaded the lead ammunition on the spot, the soldiers who had originally killed the two wings approached the middle with the order, and the two-headed snake spat apricots and converged, and gathered into an irresistible siege cone. The foot soldiers who followed closely behind the Chinese army were escorted, and the bird guns were protected in the rear.

Good iron should be used on the blade, and Zuo Ruo will hit all the captured bird guns and three-eyed guns together as surprise soldiers for the raid.

In less than half an hour, Li Chengdong's army's formation became more and more flattened, and the stone bridge was full of soldiers, and the soldiers on the opposite bank seemed to cross the river to support, and the soldiers on the south bank were suppressed towards the river. The soldiers in front couldn't resist it, and the soldiers in the back had retreated to the Suzhou River.

"Get out of the way!" The soldiers on the side of the stone bridge raised their knives and shouted, protecting Li Chengdong's war horse in the middle.

In the dark river, a thousand water ghosts flow downstream, each armed with a short knife and a sharp blade.

"That person should be the biggest official on the South Coast!" Chen Huwei was walking on the ground in the water, and his spikes pointed in the direction of Li Chengdong.

The water ghosts quietly lurked towards the bridge.

More than 200 steps away from the stone bridge, Chen Huwei showed his head on the water, and saw Li Chengdong's face clearly in the firelight.

"Kill it!"

The pirates could not carry heavy weapons in the water, so they often used short blades, spikes and other sharp weapons, and some of them were reluctant to use Japanese knives. The blade is thin, extremely sharp, and expensive, with the only drawback being that it can be easily damaged in collisions with heavy weapons.

The water ghost got closer and closer to the shore, and finally someone showed an anomaly in the river.

"There's someone in the water!"

Several pirates leaped ashore, their slender swords slashing down. The sword is heavy, you need to hold it with both hands, and use the strength of your whole body on the blade that is as thin as a cicada's wings.

The blade walked in the night sky without a single sound of wind, and the spear shaft that was blocking the head-on broke in response, and the thin blade slashed into the shoulder of the enemy on the opposite side, and a severed arm flew into the air.

"Besiege Li Chengdong!"

The water ghosts each jumped out of the river and followed closely behind a group of highly skilled companions.

The place where the pirates landed was only two hundred steps away from Li Chengdong, and his own soldiers resisted desperately, and Li Chengdong was pushed backwards by the crowded crowd, and there was no time to command the army to fight. Most of his personal soldiers were battle-hardened soldiers, and after a moment of chaos, he relied on the advantages of heavy weapons and thick armor to block the sharp spirit of Chen Huwei and others.

But the situation on the entire battlefield has been chaotic.

They were attacked from front to back, left and right, completely smashing the already chaotic Li Chengdong army on the south bank into a plate of scattered sand.

Zuo Ruo is in the battle formation, and looks closely at the battlefield shape in the chaos. Li Chengdong's army's formation has been pressed very tightly, and any further pressure will backfire, don't force these people into dead soldiers who have no way to retreat.

"Pikemen! Pikemen! ”

The Chinese army halted the assault and waited for the pikemen to come forward and hold down the position. The Chinese army is the weather vane of the entire battlefield, and the arrogance of the mountain people has been somewhat restrained, and the fighting style has been restored.

The spearmen followed the pikemen, and the gunners followed the orders of the commander to shoot, often concentrating on one place to crush a corner of the battlefield. This kind of unstoppable bombardment eliminated the will to resist little by little.

Li Chengdong's army also had some bird-strickmen, but he was suddenly attacked, unable to concentrate, and was crowded all over the battlefield.

"My lord, evacuate the river!" The soldiers felt the pressure of the rout, and it was rare for them to hold out until now.

Li Chengdong gritted his teeth, he knew the result of retreating.

"Hold on! With me here, no one is allowed to cross the river! ”

Originally, they were all elite teachers of the Ming Dynasty, fighting for life and death on the banks of the Suzhou River.

The situation of the war has reached the point where whoever can't support it first will have to bear an unacceptable defeat.

A quarter of an hour.

Two quarters of an hour.

Someone died every moment, the mountain people slowly gave birth to a trace of fear, and the despair in the hearts of Li Chengdong's soldiers became stronger and stronger.

In the firelight, Zuo Ruo and Li Chengdong looked at each other from afar.

Zuo Ruo stood in the battle formation and commanded steadily, as steady as Mount Tai, while Li Chengdong was like a loose stone squeezed by a big wave, and there was a possibility of collapse at any time. The situation of the two bosses reflects the shape of the entire battle situation.

Zuo Ruo pulled out the Qi knife on his waist with a solemn expression.

He hadn't personally gone to the battlefield to kill people for a long time, and he was a recruit who hadn't fought a few battles, but Li Chengdong's appearance deserved his respect.

With the advantage of sneak attack, and half-crossing, he occupied such a small advantage in front of him, and these people in front of him were the real elite under Li Chengdong. If he encounters this army under Songjiang City, he is afraid that he will trap himself there.

Zuo Ruo personally held a knife to urge the battle array.

Qi knife has the advantage of the sword, and the fragility of the sword, this is the weapon that is truly suitable for the battle between the two armies.

"the captives!"

I don't know who shouted it out first, and the mountain people burst out with the little remaining courage to fight for their lives.

Zuo Ruo entered the enemy line surrounded by his own soldiers, and his Qi knife stabbed into the abdomen of the enemy on the opposite side. At that moment, he remembered that this person might be his fellow countryman in Shaanxi. Even so, his long knife really turned around the man's lower abdomen without mercy.

The rout was irretrievable, and Li Chengdong's war horse was retreating uncontrollably, and he was hugged to the middle of the bridge with his butt upside down.

"Li Chengdong has escaped!" Zuo Ruo shouted.

"Catch Li Chengdong, don't let him run away!" The mountain people were howling wildly.

Some of the Qing soldiers who really resisted took the time to turn around, and saw that the commander's war horse was almost on the other side of the river, and immediately lost all the courage to resist.

Qingyu didn't shout indiscriminately, they were feeling the limit of what they could bear,

Just as Zuo Ruo was cutting down the third enemy, the sergeant Li Chengdong on the south bank almost suddenly changed direction, like a herd of antelopes driven by cheetahs, squeezing towards the stone bridge where only four horses could be parallel.
