Under such a continuous impact, Xiang Hao's armor was still intact, and his mind was still clear, and after Lin Haotian hit him seven or eight times, Xiang Hao suddenly exerted his strength, broke free of Lin Haotian's palms, kicked out with his two feet, and stepped on Lin Haotian's front door.

The latter retreated on his back, sat on the ground with his buttocks, roared at Hao and casually touched a spear on the ground, shook his arm to transform it, his body took off, and flew towards Lin Haotian, and the spear in his hand stabbed out.

Lin Haotian's body sitting on the ground twisted slightly, dodging the edge of the spear, and then lifted his leg and hooked it on Xiang Hao's jaw. The latter spun in the air and fell to the ground on his back, and the spear he had just picked up was thrown far away.

Before he could get up, Lin Haotian pounced again, pressed on Xiang Hao's body, wrapped his legs around his waist, bent down, and grabbed his neck.

Xiang Hao struggled to get rid of Lin Haotian, but the latter was like a rubber candy sticking to him, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake Lin Haotian off. Xiang Hao was extremely angry and rolled hard, Lin Haotian rolled to his back, his legs still clasped his waist, but his right arm was already around his neck.

It was difficult to win by the enemy, so Lin Haotian changed his tactics and used the 'lock' move.

Xiang Hao, who has rough skin and thick flesh, is not afraid of Lin Haotian's fists and feet, but he is powerless against this wrestling move, he is crawling on the ground, sometimes rolling on the spot, sometimes jumping up and down, but no matter what method is used, he just can't get rid of Lin Haotian, but the latter's arms are shrinking tighter and tighter, making Xiang Hao feel that his neck is about to be broken.

Lin Haotian, who has so much experience in actual combat, has never fought such a difficult battle, although he locked Xiang Hao to death, but the latter's cultivation is too deep, even if he uses his strength to eat, he can't smash the armor around Xiang Hao's neck.

Xiang Hao couldn't get rid of Lin Haotian. Lin Haotian also couldn't strangle Xiang Hao, the two were entangled and fell into a stalemate, and no one could help anyone.

For the two of them, this is a life-and-death battle, but for the soldiers on both sides who are watching. This can be regarded as an earth-shattering, shocking battle between the past and the present, and the two people on the battlefield can no longer be called humans, but more like two gods clashing.

In the vicious battle between Lin Haotian and Xiang Hao, both of them used their strength of 12 percent, and they were exhausted and both lost.

On the other hand, looking at the entire battlefield, the two sides are also inseparable.

The Red Army has a large number of troops, but the Jin Army is strong, and there are countless brave and good generals among them. All this has smoothed the gap between the two sides in terms of strength to the greatest extent.

At a time when the two sides were fighting against each other and against generals, and it was difficult to distinguish between the superior and inferior, a large number of Red troops suddenly poured out of the Red Army camp.

At first, the Jin army didn't care, but the number of Red troops coming in was increasing, and at the end of the day, it simply showed a blowout trend, on the battlefield. Everywhere you look, there are many. Countless Red Army soldiers.

No matter how strong the Jin army's combat power is, it is impossible to defeat an enemy several times its own, not to mention that the red army's combat power is not weak. With the rapid increase in the number of the Red Army, the Fourth Army was gradually defeated, and the soldiers who had been forced to the Red Camp began to retreat one after another.

Lin Haotian, who was at war with Xiang Hao, also saw that his situation was getting more and more unfavorable, so he continued to fight. Afraid that the whole army was in danger of being annihilated, he decisively gave up the fight with Xiang Hao, retreated, and flashed back to his camp with Feng Ling.

When Lin Haotian returned, the person was almost collapsed. It was supported by the soldiers below, and withdrew with the brigade of the Fourth Army.

Seeing Lin Haotian withdrawing, Xiang Haoben still wanted to chase and kill him, but unfortunately he was also more than capable now. In the fierce battle just now, Lin Haotian was exhausted, and Xiang Hao was not the same, even if he could stand up, his legs were trembling suddenly, and when he took a step forward, he felt as if he was about to fall down at any time.

Now, he can finally understand why the Golden Tiger was injured so badly by Lin Haotian in the first place, Lin Haotian's cultivation is not terrible, and the secret martial arts are not such a scary thing, but his endless moves are too headaches, fighting with him, even if he fights with twelve points, he may still suffer in his hands, such an opponent is indeed difficult, and it is also very surprising and incomprehensible, as the commander of the Jin Army, how did he practice such a powerful martial arts.

After the withdrawal of the Fourth Army, the Red Army, which had killed the Red Battalion, did not pursue or withdraw to the camp, but headed south. The reason why so many Red troops poured out of the Red Camp was not that there were still any back hands, but that these Red Army troops had escaped from the front camp.

The Red Army was divided into two waves, one to guard the front camp and one to ambush the rear camp, Xu Fang's arrangement was very exquisite, and there was no problem, but he underestimated the combat power of the Jin army.

He thought that the 400,000 army could withstand the frontal attack of the Jin army, and the 200,000 army could easily deal with the sneak attack of the Jin army behind his own camp, but in fact, it was not the case at all, the army of 200,000 could not defeat the Jin army at all in the rear camp, even if there was a fierce general like Xiang Hao to suppress the formation, it could still only be on par with the Jin army.

The large army arranged in the rear camp could not achieve a quick victory, which directly led to the inability to reinforce the front camp in time, so that the 400,000 troops in the front camp could not resist the fierce offensive of the Iron Lion Army.

After Xu Fang learned about the overall situation, he decisively made the decision to abandon the camp and withdraw his troops, not to entangle with the Jin army here, and to wait until the future to make arrangements and then compete.

He personally led the soldiers of the front battalion to retreat, all the way out of the camp, and helped the soldiers of the rear battalion to beat away the Fourth Army, and then the whole army continued to retreat south, giving up the huge camp to the Jin army.

Xu assured that a camp was nothing, as long as his own troops were still there, no matter how far he withdrew, there was still hope of counterattacking back.

In this battle, it seems that the Jin army seems to have won, and finally defeated the Red Army and captured the Red Army camp, but in fact, the Red Army did not lose many troops, relatively speaking, if the Jin Army counted the heavy cavalry that had been killed and wounded before, its loss of troops was more than that of the Red Army.

Therefore, this battle of the Red Army can only be regarded as a tactical transfer, not a defeat or retreat.

After the Red Army withdrew, the Jin Army took advantage of the situation to occupy the entire Red Camp, and the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield. The main forces of the Red Army were not damaged either. The only good thing is that the broken crossbows that had been taken by the Red Army have now been recaptured, although most of them were destroyed when the Red Army withdrew.

After the generals finished counting the battle losses, they came to the Chinese military tent one after another to report to Lin Haotian.

At this time, Lin Haotian was sitting in the center of the Chinese military tent. Two medical officers bandaged his wounds on his left and right. After a vicious battle with Xiang Hao, Lin Haotian was 'scarred', his forehead was broken, and there were patches of bruises on his neck, body, arms, and thighs, which were not very serious, but it was very painful. When the medical officer applied medicine and bandaged him, he did not scream in pain, but he frowned and grinned from time to time.

When the generals came in, what they saw was Lin Haotian's appearance, and people were shocked in their hearts. They all gathered around and asked with concern, "Is there any major problem with the adult's injury?"

"I can't die!" Without waiting for the medical officer to answer, Lin Haotian replied first.

Gu Liangyun on the side explained: "When the adults attacked the enemy camp secretly, they fought with Xiang Hao, and among the Red Army, I am afraid that only Xiang Hao can hurt the adults. ”

I see! If the opponent is going towards Hao, then it can be understood, in the country of Chi. Jin Hu and Xiang Hao are the top generals.

Guan He shook his head and sighed again, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that the last general couldn't sneak attack the enemy camp with the adults. Otherwise, he will definitely take off his head on Xiang Hao's neck!"

Hearing his words, Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, while the generals on the left and right rolled their eyes one after another.

This Guan He really can't speak, let's not talk about whether you can win against Xiang Hao. Based on your words alone, it seems that adults are not as good as you, don't you know that adults have always been good at martial arts and never obey others in force?

Seeing that the expressions of the people around him were a little weird, Guan He didn't know which sentence he said wrong. He looked around at the generals blankly, and asked rhetorically: "What's the matter? The generals don't believe that I can take down Xiang Hao's head? It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, there will be a chance to meet in the future, and then I want you to see if I, Guan He, am talking big today!"

"Cough!" Chu Chen coughed lightly, interrupting Guan He's words, and then gently put the battle damage statistics of the Iron Lion Army on the table in front of Lin Haotian, and said, "My lord, the Iron Lion Army suffered more than 30,000 casualties in this battle, and the damage to the armor is even more serious......"

After listening carefully to Chu Chen's report, Lin Haotian turned his eyes to look at Gu Liangyun again, who hurriedly put the battle losses he counted on the table.

Lin Haotian took a general look at it, then sighed faintly, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we all underestimate the new commander of the Red Army, what is his name Xu?"

"Xu Fang!" Chu Chen replied in a low voice.

"En! Xu Fang!" Lin Haotian repeated and said, "Although this person was originally the commander of the naval army, he is extremely good at using soldiers, and he is our fierce enemy!"

The generals looked at each other, no one spoke, Chu Chen's eyes rolled, and said: "My lord, I heard that General Jin was blocked in the attack on Huaqiao, the county town of Tianyang County, and it is difficult to win in a short time.

After pondering Chu Chen's suggestion, Lin Haotian felt that it made sense, and nodded in response: "Okay, just do what General Nie wants!"

As he spoke, he turned his head sideways and said to Shao Lin: "Immediately give Jin Cheng an order to lead the army back to Haowan County and join our army." ”

"Yes, my lord!" Shao Lin replied.

Lin Haotian looked down at the table, and then said to Tong Lei: "Bring the map of Haowan County." ”

Soon Tong Lei spread the map of Haowan County in front of Lin Haotian, who waved his hand to push away the two medical officers who were bandaging him on the left and right, and then leaned over to check the map.

Lin Haotian first drew his current position, and then slowly moved towards Luxia, looked at it for a while, and muttered: "This place is not far from the county seat Pufeng, after Xu Fang retreats, he must also retreat to Pufeng, rely on the city defense of the county town, and fight a decisive battle with our army." ”

Chu Chen agreed with Lin Haotian's analysis and said: "Haowan County is a large grain-producing county in the Red Kingdom, and the grain and grass reserves must be sufficient, plus Pufeng is a county town, and the city defense is strong and perfect, so the possibility of the Red Army retreating to Pufeng is very great. ”

Lin Haotian nodded and asked, "Is there a way to break the city?"

Chu Chen's eyes rolled again, and he said: "Since it is a tough battle, then we have to attack the heart first, and the siege of the city as a supplement, as long as our army can greatly damage the morale of the enemy army, this battle will become very easy." ”

Lin Haotian rubbed his chin, pondered for a while, and asked, "How can you destroy the morale of the enemy army?"

Chu Chen said: "As the party defending the city, the most important thing is not whether the city defense is high and solid, whether it is perfect. But how much grain and grass is in reserve, which is also directly related to the life and death of the defending soldiers, if our army can have a small group of elite mixed into the city, seize the opportunity, and burn down the granary of the Red Army, then. The Red Army in the city has become a turtle in an urn, and it will be covered with fish and meat!"

Lin Haotian's eyes flickered, and he seriously pondered Chu Chen's words. Guan He frowned and said: "Pufeng is a county town, and it is a place where the Red Army wants to fight to the death with our army, and the guards must be strict, how can our army get in?"

Chu Chen nodded and said, "General Qi is right, under normal circumstances, Pu Feng has already sealed the city and imposed martial law. If the officers and men of our army want to blend in directly, it is basically impossible to ......" Seeing that Guan He was about to speak again, he continued: "However, if the officers and men of our army are disguised as a grain pressing team, then there is a great hope of blending into the city. ”

"Grain Pressing Team?" Guan He looked at him suspiciously.

Chu Chen said: "If the Red Army wants to fight to the death with our army in Pufeng, it must prepare for a long-term battle, and the adequacy of grain and grass in the city is very important, and it is probably far from enough to rely on Pufeng's own grain and grass reserves." It is also necessary to urgently transfer food and grass from the surrounding towns. This is exactly the opportunity for our army. ”

"Good way!" Lin Haotian felt that Chu Chen's idea was good. Setting fire to the enemy's granary is indeed a strategy that can be won with one hit.

He nodded and said to Shao Lin: "Ma sent someone to inquire about Pu Feng's situation and see if Pu Feng was collecting and hoarding grain and grass as General Nie expected. ”

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will send someone to investigate!" Shao Lin hurriedly replied.

The Jin Army spies went to find out Pu Feng's information, and he didn't mention it for the time being. Let's say that the First Army led by Ding Feng, since Zeping entered Surabaya County, has been like a bamboo, conquering more than ten Red Army towns in a row, and fighting from the east to the west of Surabaya County. Close to the border of the two countries, the Red Dragon Altar.

Now that the New Red Army is blocked by the Red Dragon Altar, and the army of more than 200,000 is blocked from the Red Country, the task of the First Army is not to capture many towns in Surabaya County, but to take the Red Dragon Altar as soon as possible and help the New Red Army open the door to the Red Country.

The location of the Red Dragon Altar is unique, the back is against the mountain, and it is in the high ground, and with the high solid city defense, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, in the Red Dragon Mandala, there were as many as 120,000 or 30,000 defenders of the Red Kingdom, among which Wei Wuji, the culprit who killed Lu Hao, and Peng Cheng, the head of Surabaya County, were even more harmful.

Now the Red Dragon Altar has long been closed, the new Red Army camp is located in the territory of the new Red Kingdom five miles west of the city, when the first army arrived at the Red Dragon Altar, stationed five miles away from the east of the city, and the new Red Camp across the city, from one left and one right to hold the Red Dragon Altar.

Soon after the First Army finished camping, the envoys of the New Red Army came, and after meeting Ding Feng, they gave him a general account of the current situation.

The commander of the new Red Army is the general Bai He of the New Red Kingdom, and there are fierce generals Shi Xiao under his command, generals Ai Zhe, Gao Yuan, etc., it can be said that the new Red Army is also an elite division, that is, there are excellent commanders, and there are also fierce generals who can fight habitually, but unfortunately, it has not been able to defeat the Red Dragon Altar for a long time.

The reason for this is that the new Red Army is not strong, but the road to the Red Dragon Altar is narrow, the army is difficult to deploy, and it has to attack from the bottom, which puts the attacking side in a great disadvantage.

The envoy of the new Red Kingdom introduced the situation, and then discussed with Ding Feng whether the two armies should agree on a good time to jointly attack the Red Dragon Altar.

Ding Feng didn't have a horse to make the decision to attack, he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! Ben Shuai must first familiarize himself with the environment of the Red Dragon Altar before making arrangements." ”

It was inconvenient for the envoy of the new Red Kingdom to force it, but he still said: "Our army has been blocked by the Red Dragon Altar for nearly two months, and the morale of the soldiers is getting lower and lower.

Ding Feng nodded in understanding, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, this commander will not delay for too long, and within three days, he will give your army an answer." ”

The envoy of the New Red Kingdom looked happy, and arched his hand and said: "This is very good, the lower officials will rest assured, General Ding, the lower officials will leave first!"

"My lord, go slowly!" After Ding Feng sent off the envoys of the New Red Kingdom, Ma gathered the spies of the First Legion in one place, and asked them to explore the surroundings of the Red Dragon Altar and draw a detailed topographical map.

There was nothing to say that day, and the next day, the spies sent out returned one after another, and at the same time sent the topographical map of the Red Dragon Altar to Ding Feng.

The Red Dragon Altar is backed by the Red Dragon Mountain, which is high and steep, leading straight to the sky, so it also has the nickname of 'Heavenly Ladder'.

It is said that in ancient times, the Red Dragon Mountain was much higher than now, and it could reach the zenith, and later the gods cut down the Red Dragon Mountain in order to prevent mortals from ascending to the sky, and half of the mountain peak fell down, filling the bottomless Red Dragon Pond under the mountain, and then, people built a holy temple and altar in the pool, which also became the prototype of the Red Dragon Altar. Although these are nonsense legends, it is not difficult to see from this that the Chilong Mountain is steep.

After listening to the report of the spies, Ding Feng frowned, originally he still had the illusion of crossing the Red Dragon Mountain and sneaking into the Red Dragon Mandala, but now it seems that this is unlikely. Of course, if it was possible to cross the Red Dragon Mountain so easily, the new Red Army might have done so long ago.

However, the more than 200,000 New Red Army troops could not defeat the Red Dragon Altar after two months of hard fighting.

Just when Ding Feng was embarrassed about how to attack the Red Dragon Altar, a spy suddenly came to report that a citizen of the Red Kingdom came to his camp and said that he wanted to see the general.

Ding Feng was stunned for a moment, a citizen of the Red Kingdom wanted to see him? This is new, he nodded to the soldier who reported the news, and said, "Bring him to me." ”

"Yes, General!" Sergeant Jin agreed, and quickly ran out of the tent.

After a short time, accompanied by two Jin army guards, a citizen of the Red Kingdom covered in dust and grass walked in from outside.

This person is about thirty years old, with a sturdy figure, but this dress is similar to that of a man named Huazi, after he entered the big tent, he immediately knelt forward and said cautiously: "Villain Zhang Wu, see General Ding!"

Zhang Wu and Ding Feng had never heard of his name, nor had he seen him as a person, so he asked, "I heard that you want to see Ben Shuai, but I don't know what is going on?"

"The villain came to see General Ding on the orders of my master. ”

"Who is your master?" asked Ding Feng patiently.

"This ......" The man named Zhang Wu looked left and right, but did not speak immediately.

Knowing what he meant, Ding Feng waved his hand and said, "Everyone present is a handsome confidant, but it doesn't matter if you say it." ”

"The owner of the villain is...... It's Master Peng Chengpeng. Zhang Wu's voice was so small that it was almost inaudible. (To be continued......)
