Chapter 305: Blocking the Enemy

Before Shangguan Xiu could answer, a Shadow Banner officer rushed over, and when he arrived near Shangguan Xiu and the others, the man first wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, stepped forward breathlessly, intervened in the salute, and said urgently: "My lord, all the troops on Helian Mountain have all descended the mountain and are rushing towards our side!"

When Shangguan Xiu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Are you sure that all the people in Qixi have gone down the mountain?"

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates have seen with their own eyes, and the Qixi army has about 60,000 people!" replied the Shadow Banner officer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Great! Shangguan Xiu was overjoyed, he was waiting for the Qixi people to react like this. He said to Duan Qiyue: "Pass the order, kill all the prisoners, bury our fallen brothers, and then our army will retreat to the residence of the Qixi clan!"

Duan Qiyue frowned and asked, "Brother Xiu, Helian Mountain is not far from us, I'm afraid we don't have time to bury the bodies of our brothers." ”

"If you don't have time, you have to squeeze out time, and you must not let the corpses of your brothers be exposed to the wilderness!" Shangguan Xiu said in a deep voice without questioning, and then he asked him to find the Ba man left by Gu Transcript, and asked him to use the falcon to send a message to his own camp outside Helian Mountain, so that the main force of the Feng Army could take the opportunity to attack Helian Mountain quickly.

After explaining everything properly, in order to create time for his soldiers to bury the corpses of their comrades, Shangguan Xiu only took Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei and more than a thousand Feng troops to block the main force of the Qixi army.

They traveled about ten miles to the east, and by this time it was already dark, and when they looked at the road ahead, the road ahead seemed to be on fire, and it was red, and the light of the fire spread on the road, winding and boundless.

After everyone saw it, they all understood in their hearts that it was the main force of the Qixi Army coming, and the fire was the torch lit by the enemy.

Shangguan Xiu stared at the enemy troops moving rapidly in the distance, he took a deep breath, and said to the soldiers on the left and right: "In this battle, we are not to kill the enemy, but to slow down the speed of Fanzi's march, so that our brothers who died in battle can be buried in peace." When there will be a battle, everyone can fight and retreat with me, you don't have to fight against you, do you understand?"

"Understood!sir!" Shangguan Xiu led more than 1,000 of them to block the march of tens of thousands of troops, the purpose of which was just to bury the corpses of their own dead brothers, which in the final analysis was a manifestation of love for soldiers, with such a commander, who would not fight to the death?

According to the flickering firelight in the ranks of the Qi Xi army, Shangguan Xiu judged that the other party had already entered his own range, and he turned his head sideways and said, "Release the arrow!" With his order, more than a thousand wind soldiers twisted their bows and arrows together, and shot the arrows in their hands forward.

A round of arrows was fired, and a scream immediately came from the camp of the Qixi Army on the opposite side, and then the second round of arrows of the Wind Army shot into the ranks of the Qixi Army.

Even if they didn't light the torches, as they continued to shoot arrows, the Qi Xi army gradually judged their location.

Soon, the counterattack of the Qi Xi army came. There was a buzz in the camp of the Qi Xi army on the opposite side, because the sky was too dark, Shangguan Xiu couldn't see anything clearly, but he could tell just by listening to the sound that it was the sound of the arrow array taking off into the air.

His nerves immediately tensed, and he shouted, "Cloth Shield Array!"

The first row of soldiers crouched on the ground to hold their shields, the soldiers of the second row bowed down and held their shields, the soldiers of the third row stood and held their shields, and the soldiers of the fourth row and beyond all raised their shields above their heads.

If it was daytime at this time, you could clearly see that the shield array of the Wind Army was almost impermeable, as if a layer of copper walls was wrapped around the outside of the entire battle array.

With the terrifying sound of arrows falling down, the arrow array of the Qi Xi army finally arrived, and for a while, the clanging sound of the arrows hitting the shield was connected, and the sparks of the wind army's battle array splashed everywhere.

No matter how perfect the shield array is, there are gaps, as long as the arrow array is dense enough, it can still shoot into the shield array through the gaps between the shields, killing and injuring the soldiers inside.

Under the continuous arrow shooting of the Qi Xi army, some people in the Feng army camp were also hit by arrows and fell to the ground from time to time, and the soldiers who were squatting on the ground nearby immediately got up and raised their shields to fill the gap, keeping their own shield array unbroken.

After the first round of the Qi Xi Army's arrow array was over, the wind army's shield array dispersed, and the archers squatting in it shot out their arrows one after another, and the back shield array was rearranged, ready to meet the enemy's second round of arrow array.

The two sides were firing arrows back and forth, the Feng army was slowly retreating while fighting, and the Qi Xi army was constantly advancing forward, but the speed of their march had been greatly slowed down.

After the two sides exchanged arrows for a few rounds, Qi Xijun realized that the wind army on the opposite side did not have many troops, at least the wind army's arrow shots were sparse.

Soon, the generals on the side of the Qi Xi Army seemed to sense the intention of the Feng Army, and no longer launched a confrontation with the Feng Army, but sent elite soldiers to forcibly charge forward.

The first batch of soldiers of the Qixi Army charged as many as two or three thousand, and their task was only to test the reality of the Wind Army. Hearing the shouting and killing on the other side, Shangguan Xiu reacted quickly, turned around and ordered: "Change the crossbow!"

The soldiers of the Wind Army took up their bows and arrows one after another, took off the crossbows hanging under their ribs, aimed at the front, and shot crossbow arrows one after another. With the sound of the crossbow box, the bolts flew out, and a scream rang out in the night ahead.

"Keep releasing arrows! Keep releasing arrows!" Shangguan Xiu stood in the middle of his own battle formation, giving orders as he slowly retreated with the surrounding wind troops. Crossbow arrows were shot out one after another, and the screams in the night on the opposite side were also one after another.

Suddenly, one of the soldiers rushed out of the night, holding a spear in his hand, and rushed towards the wind army with a roar.

In the night, if neither of the two sides lights the torches, the visible distance of the people is only seven or eight meters away, that is, when the soldiers rush out of the night, they are only seven or eight meters away from the wind army battle array.

At the moment when the soldier appeared, dozens of crossbow arrows were nailed to his body almost at the same time, and the sound of the arrows rushing into the flesh and bones was endless, and in the blink of an eye, the soldier was full of crossbow arrows, and he moved forward Chapter 305 to block the enemy

He stumbled two steps and fell to the ground.

But then a second, third, or even more soldiers rushed out of the night, shouting and rushing towards the wind army. The bolts were nailed to their bodies, knocking wave after wave of rushing soldiers to the ground, but with them more and more.

Seeing that the other party had already rushed to his own side, Shangguan Xiu waved the spirit knife in his hand and shouted: "Shields in the front row, guns in the back row!" He gave an order, and the wind army in the first row raised their shields in unison, and the wind army in the second row raised their spears, either on the shoulders of the brothers in the front row, or on the shields in the front row.

No matter what the military quality of the soldiers is, and whether they are lagging behind in their tactics, they all have a brute force and momentum that are not afraid of death.

Obviously, he saw that the front of the wind army's battle array was full of spear tips poking out, but the soldiers completely ignored and slammed forward regardless of it.

Many of the soldiers didn't hit the shield of the Wind Army at all, and were directly pierced through their bodies by the spears that poked out.

The corpses of the people were still hanging on their spears, and the soldiers behind them arrived, still rushing forward regardless of it, and at the same time, they also stabbed the spears in their hands into the camp of the wind army.

Shangguan Xiu, who was originally in the center of the camp, quickly pushed up to the second row of his side, and as soon as he came over, a spear stabbed him in the throat. Shangguan Xiu swung the knife in his hand outward, cutting off the shaft of the spear, and then he leaned forward and stabbed the spirit knife in his hand back.

In front of Shangguan Xiu, there is still a shield in front of the wind army, and the speed is fast enough, but the length of the spirit knife is limited, and it can't touch the soldiers at all. Soon, another soldier stabbed at him with a spear, Shangguan Xiu simply put the spirit knife into the sheath, grabbed the shaft of the spear with his bare hands, pulled it back hard, and shouted: "Give it to me!"

He snatched the opponent's spear with brute force, flipped his wrist, and then raised the spear and stabbed it outward.

As more and more soldiers rushed over, the soldiers were no longer just confronting the Wind Army, many of them stepped on the corpses of their comrades, and then jumped high and flew towards the top of the Wind Army's camp.

Although the soldiers who pounced on him were stabbed to death in mid-air by the Wind Army, the corpses that fell down also smashed the Wind Army camp into chaos. At this time, the retreat speed of the Wind Army's camp began to accelerate involuntarily.

The wind army, which was only a thousand people, gradually couldn't stop the Qi Xi army's stronger than round charge, and at this time, a person from the Shadow Banner rushed behind them, and the person quickly squeezed to Shangguan Xiu's side, and said loudly: "My lord, the bodies of the brothers have been buried, and now they can retreat." ”

Shangguan Xiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and while the soldiers had not yet surrounded his own group, he decisively ordered: "All retreat!"

He said to retreat, but he himself stood still and didn't move, now the two sides have come into contact with each other, but it's not that one party can retreat if he wants to, and someone needs to stay behind the palace.

Seeing that Shangguan Xiu did not retreat, Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei and several other shadow banner personnel rushed up one after another, fighting side by side with Shangguan Xiu, slashing and killing the incoming enemies in front, and said urgently: "Brother Xiu, go quickly!"

"Delay for a while, and when the brothers retreat far enough, we will retreat!" Shangguan Xiulian took out the spear, picked three or four soldiers to death, raised his eyes and looked around, the soldiers on the opposite side could be described as a sea of people, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance. He said in a deep voice, "Use the Shadow Spell!"

When the enemy and the enemy are in a scuffle, the Shadow Spell is the most useless skill, because it is uncontrollable, and no one dares to cast it at will. Now that his brother has retreated, only the enemy remains, and there is no need to worry about the Shadow Spell injuring his own people.

Hearing Shangguan Xiu's reminder, Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei and other shadow banner personnel all cast a shadow spell and threw it into the crowd of soldiers.

In order to avoid the impact of the shadow spell, a large number of soldiers could not care about chasing and killing the retreating wind army, and they scattered and fled, dodging far away one by one.
