Qiu Yizhi was a little relieved, and then turned his head back to check the situation of the enemy, and saw that the enemy's forward had come out of the fog, and it seemed that he had also discovered Zhao Chengxiao and others, who were trying to attack to break through the defense line.

Seeing this, Qiu Yi pulled Meng Hong and said, "You lead a few of your brothers, shoot the enemy attack first, and do you Brother Zhao a favor." Now that the fog is thick and the wind is strong, you should be careful not to injure your own brothers. ”

Meng Hong nodded, then led his subordinates, raised his crossbow and shot down twice.

The enemy was probing his head forward in the fog, and suddenly received such a blow from the sky completely unexpected, and the few people who had just stood out immediately retreated, and through the layers of fog, it seemed that their formation had become very chaotic for a while.

Zhao Chengxiao, who was in front of the battle, knew that it was Qiu Yizhi on the mountain who was covering for him, so he was afraid of losing the fighter, so he waved the command flag and ordered his crossbows to shoot forward in unison.

After these two attacks, the group of enemy troops attacking Shanyin County suddenly became in chaos, and hysterical shouts for help came from the valleys, but because of the thick fog, they really couldn't see the situation underneath.

Qiu Yizhi felt strange in his heart - he had fought with the Lingnan Dao army before, and their morale, discipline, experience, and martial arts were quite impressive, even in the current situation where the terrain and climate were unfamiliar, and they were suddenly attacked, although it was inevitable that there would be some chaos, they would not be at a loss like this, and there seemed to be no countermeasures.

So Qiu Yizhi ordered the "black-necked toad" on the mountain to send out a secret signal, telling Zhao Chengxiao to stabilize the formation a little, and not to take advantage of the victory to pursue so as not to fall into the enemy's plan to lure the enemy.

It took a while for the enemy forces at the foot of the hill to calm down, and after a long time, they organized another attack.

Qiu Yizhi and Zhao Chengxiao saw more than 100 opponents charging forward in a big way up and down the mountain, and they all ordered their crossbowmen to fire forward in a volley at the same time.

The opponent was once again stunned by this attack, and retreated again.

Qiu Yizhi condescendingly observed on the mountain, but he really couldn't understand the enemy's actions, and after thinking about it, he just felt that the enemy still had such patience, and if he failed to lure the enemy once, he would carry it out a second time. He didn't feel a little funny, could it be that the enemy army was all stupid, the first time he lured the enemy and the opponent was not fooled, the second time he would be tricked?

So Qiu Yizhi also called the "black-necked toad" to send an order to the bottom of the mountain, ordering Zhao Chengxiao under the mountain to calm his mind, not to move rashly, and to wait and see the changes in the enemy army.

The enemy in the mountain path seemed to have no better way, and after a few more attempts, they seemed exhausted and never attacked any further.

At this time, it was noon, and a round of red sun rose higher and higher, dispersing all the fog between the valleys, and Qiu Yizhi looked at the extreme, and saw that the number of enemy troops under the mountain was always five or six thousand, but they were already lying or lying down, resting on the roadside, seeing that they were dressed in different colors, and the flags were not neat, not to mention any formation, and there was no attempt to lure the enemy at all.

Qiu Yizhi felt even more strange, and hurriedly ordered the "Iron Head Jiao" to take a few helpers to climb over the high mountain in front of him to see if there were any enemy ambushes on the back road.

The "Iron Head Jiao" agreed, and then called the two brothers and went to observe.

The mountain road is difficult to ride a horse, and the "Iron Head Jiao" does not have a good foot like Wang Lao Wu, and it takes more than an hour to come back, and the report: "If you go back to your lordship, there is no ambush in front." ”

Qiu Yizhi glanced at the sweaty bald head of the "Iron Head Jiao" and asked, "Have you looked carefully?" Is it true that there are no ambushes? ”

"Tietou Jiao" pondered again, and then patted his chest and said: "How many times have I walked this path, I remember a few trees, a few grasses, and a few stones clearly, and there are indeed no ambushes!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person rushing up from the bottom of the mountain, and ran to Qiu Yizhi to report: "Zhao Tou'er asked me to come up and inform the adults, seeing that the people in front of him are not the Lingnan Army, it looks like the defeated Jiangnan Province Jiedu Army." What to do, please instruct me! ”

Qiu Yizhi suddenly realized, no wonder there were many people in front of them, but they didn't have the slightest enterprising heart, it turned out to be a group of Jiedu troops who had lost the battle!

"Since it's not the Lingnan Army, why are they attacking themselves?" Qiu Yizhi thought about it secretly, but he still couldn't figure it out, and finally made up his mind and said to the soldiers who came up the mountain to give the order: "You go down and tell Zhao Chengxiao, tell him to shout in front of the battle, and ask the enemy to lay down his arms and surrender on the spot." If the enemy refuses, then look at the banner on my mountain and rush over in one fell swoop. ”

The soldier nodded, and went down the mountain to give the order.

Not long after, Zhao Chengxiao's side really sounded the sound of shouting and admonition, but the distance was a little away, and the voice echoed in the valley a few times, and it was impossible to hear what he said.

However, Qiu Yizhi was condescending, but he clearly saw the army crowded in the valley, and when he heard Zhao Chengxiao's shout, he was obviously in a commotion, but he did not immediately disarm and surrender, and seemed to be still hesitating.

So I heard Zhao Chengxiao shouting again.

The opponent also stirred up again, but still did not surrender.

Qiu Yizhi couldn't bear it, and called "Iron Head Jiao" and "Black Neck Toad" and said: "It's not a way to delay here, 'Iron Head Jiao', you follow me and lead the brothers over the first two mountains to block the opponent's back road." 'Toad', you stay here alone, and when you see us rushing down the mountain, you immediately wave the order flag and tell Zhao Chengxiao to attack at the same time. Under the attack from both sides, although the enemy army is outnumbered, it is bound to fail. Got it? ”

"Black-necked Toad" and "Iron-headed Jiao" nodded at the same time, and Qiu Yizhi was relieved to see it, so he picked up his soldiers, and under the escort of Wei Chi Jiming, he walked forward along the seemingly nonexistent path in the mountains.

"Tietou Jiao" had climbed the mountain once before and was quite familiar with this mountain road, so it only took a moment to lead Qiu Yizhi and others over the mountain and come to the rear of the enemy.

Qiu Yi looked around, and sure enough, as the "Iron Head Jiao" said, although the enemy army in this valley was quite numerous, it was only a lone army, and there was no reinforcement behind it.

Therefore, Qiu Yizhi put his mind at ease, asked people to take out the order flag and keep waving it, and saw that the "black-necked toad" in the outpost on a mountain in front of him also waved the flag, so he boldly led everyone down the mountain to attack the opponent's back.

The enemy's defense was very lax, neither sent special soldiers to patrol the sentry, nor did they arrange a meticulous formation, and they were loose and scattered along the road like a sick snake.

So Qiu Yizhi didn't take the risk himself, pulled Meng Hong and the "Iron Head Jiao" and said: "Meng Hong, you lead the brothers to shoot at the opposite side near the big tree, and when the opponent has a gap, the 'Iron Head Jiao' will lead people to rush to the enemy's soft underbelly." Although the morale of the opponent is low, but after all, there are many people, and after you succeed, you must retreat immediately, waiting for my second order. ”

"Iron Head Jiao" has never lost a battle since following Qiu Yizhi, but he has suffered a loss in front of the Lingnan Army, and he originally wanted to take advantage of the opponent is a soft persimmon, pinch it well, and kill to vent his frustration, but Qiu Yizhi's order is just to disrupt the opponent's formation, and he is quite unhappy in his heart.

However, in front of the military order, he did not dare to disobey, gritted his teeth and nodded, then whispered to a few of his subordinates, and secretly went down the mountain in the woods to prepare.

Meng Hong was also ready here, and listened to Qiu Yi's order: "Shoot me!" He then pulled the trigger and fired crossbow bolts at the enemy, and nineteen of his crossbowmen fired in the same direction.

The enemy army thought that the opponent was only blocking in front, but did not expect to be attacked behind him, and was obviously a little panicked, and instead of organizing an effective defense, they scattered and fled, trampling on each other, and looked extremely chaotic.

Seeing this, the "Iron Head Jiao", who was halfway up the mountain, felt that it was a good time, and led his brothers to rush down the valley with a strange cry and engage the opponent in close combat.

When the enemy was attacked by this vicious new force, they were even more frightened, and in the narrow valley you pushed and shoved, and it became a pot of porridge.

The military order that "Iron Head Jiao" got was to retreat with the enemy, but he didn't expect that he had just made contact with the opponent and achieved great success, where was he willing to retreat easily, leading a dozen brothers who lived and died together when they were bandits, and slashed and killed indiscriminately in the crowd.

This group of them followed Qiu Yizhi when he went south to quell the rebellion of the Tianzun Sect, not only skilled in martial arts, but also extremely sophisticated in the Bohai Treasure Sword in his hand. These swords are tougher and sharper than Japanese knives, but they are not as slender and play a role in the melee, slashing the enemy like chopping melons and vegetables.

"Iron Head Jiao" and others rose to kill, rushing left and right in the crowd, as if entering a no-man's land, killing rivers of blood and corpses all over the field. And the enemy army is like a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and there is no power to fight back.

Qiu Yizhi watched from the height of the mountainside, at first he thought that the enemy army might be a trick to lure the enemy, or maybe he had another trick, and he was also worried that the "Iron Head Jiao" would kill too deeply and would easily fall into the enemy's encirclement. At first, they fought separately in twos and threes, but later saw that the "Iron Head Jiao" they killed too violently, so they simply didn't even fight back, and only knew that they blindly ran away and fled.

And Zhao Chengxiao, who was at the front of the team, saw the banner of forward attack played in the outpost on the mountain, and did not hesitate at all, and the flag pointed forward to the "Dangya Battalion" and the soldiers moved forward, like a huge grinding plate, slowly and unstoppably crushing the enemy troops in the valley.

The enemy's morale was originally low, and when he saw the opponent's courage, he was already frightened, and several bold knives wanted to fight back, but it could be seen that there was no gap on the opposite side, so he had to slowly retreat.

In this way, the enemy army in the valley was flanked in front and back, and gradually converged towards the middle of the ranks. In less than a cup of tea, thousands of soldiers and horses were rubbing shoulders one after another, gathering on the road that was no more than a hundred or ten steps long and only about a zhang wide.

Qiu Yizhi saw it really on the cliff, lest Zhao Chengxiao and the "Iron Head Jiao" force too hard, so that this group of defeated enemy troops would jump over the wall in a desperate situation.

So Qiu Yizhi hurriedly ordered the gong to be sounded, asking the soldiers under the mountain to stop attacking, and he was escorted by everyone, calmly descended the mountain from the waist of the mountain, came to the back of the "Iron Head Jiao", and shouted to the enemy: "Who are you waiting for? I am already surrounded by my legion, so I don't hurry up and surrender! ”
