Volume III, Chapter 674

The battle lasted from night to dawn.

At this point, the two sides have really fought fiercely for a whole day, during which they have not rested for more than half a moment, nor have they drunk water, nor have they eaten.

To this extent, the Jin army can still hold up and grit its teeth and hold on, but the Red Army can't stand it anymore.

No matter how high the fighting spirit of the Red Army was mobilized, their combat experience was limited after all, and they were also accustomed to living a superior life, and the Red Army had never experienced such a difficult environment and a torturous battle as it had ever experienced before.

Gradually, the psychological defense of the Red Army began to crumble.

Looking at the Jin army rushing to the head of the city, one by one it was like a devil who wanted to devour the living, and then looked at the Jin army outside the city, overwhelming, like a flood of beasts, the Red Army soldiers felt uneasy, fear and despair.

As the momentum of the Red Army was released, it could no longer withstand the ferocious attack of the Jin Army, and the people were defeated and retreated, leaving corpses and wounded soldiers all over the ground.

Seeing this scene, the Jin army, which had already become the end of the crossbow, immediately became high-spirited, the Jin army was too experienced in combat, and the changes in the Red Army made them immediately realize that their opportunity had come.

The soldiers of the Jin army saw the dawn of victory, and the people rushed towards the enemy with roars and shouts as if they had been given a shot in the heart, and they knew very well in their hearts that the more fierce they behaved at this time, the greater the blow to the morale of the enemy army.

Sure enough, the officers and men of the Jin army were turned into tigers descending from the mountain in an instant, and the Red Army was frightened and frightened, and retreated faster, and the soldiers in front retreated one after another, while the soldiers behind were so squeezed that they could only retreat down the steps to the city wall.

Seeing that the Red Army here was on the verge of collapse, Lin Haotian cheered up and shouted: "Brothers, follow me and fight into the city!" As he spoke, he took the lead in pounceing on the retreating Red Army.

Seeing Lin Haotian come forward. The Red Army, who was standing in front, instinctively raised the spear and spear in his hand and stabbed at him.

Lin Haotian swung the long sword, and in a crisp click, the spears and spears that were stabbed broke one after another, Lin Haotian took advantage of the situation and approached closely, and while resisting the enemy with his body, the long sword in his hand stabbed forward.

Each sword pierced into the crowd. There would be a muffled sound of popping, and blood arrows would shoot out from the crowd.

Lin Haotian was brave, and the morale of the soldiers below was even stronger, and a large number of soldiers rushed forward, just like Lin Haotian, while resisting the enemy with his body, he stabbed the weapons in his hands into the enemy crowd with all his might.

Under the stronger attacks of the Jin army, the Red army was defeated faster, waiting until the sky was bright. The Red Army on this section of the city wall had completely retreated to the city, and Lin Haotian led the Jin soldiers to begin to charge into the city.

As the saying goes, the defeat of the Red Army here will soon affect the Red Army elsewhere. The defense of the city is a whole, and if one part is breached, the enemy will rush into the city, and the defenders elsewhere will not be able to resist even if they are stubborn.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield was no longer evenly matched, and the Jin army had a clear upper hand. More and more Jin troops attacked the city, in contrast. More and more Red troops were beaten down the walls and retreated into the city.

The heaviest blow to the Red Army was the fall of the East Gate.

On this side, it was Zhang Bufan who led the Jin army to attack, he almost single-handedly killed from the city to the city, and led the Jin army soldiers to fight hard from the city into the city gate, and then forcibly opened the city gate. The main force of the Jin army outside the city entered the city.

The opening of the city gate meant that the defenders' defenses had been completely breached.

The Jin army outside the city poured into the city like a flood, and the worst thing was that the Seventh Army, which was ready to attack, also rushed in.

When besieging a city, heavy cavalry was completely useless. And once the city gate is lost, allowing the hoplites to do hand-to-hand combat, the infantry is so insignificant.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves like thunder coming from the rear, the soldiers of the Jin army automatically and consciously avoided on both sides, flashed a passage, and the heavy cavalry entered the city unimpeded.

With the arrival of the Seventh Legion, no matter what kind of battle formation the Red Army in the city put on, it was like a mantis arm as a car. The hoplites scattered the Red Army's formation in a single walk, rushing from the head of the formation to the end of the formation, and the cavalry team passed through the formation.

The Red Army soldiers who were trampled to death and trampled by the heavy cavalry and killed and injured are countless, and finally waited until the heavy cavalry rushed over, and the infantry of the Jin Army came forward again to launch the final blow against the defeated Red Army.

The cavalry charged forward, followed by the infantry, and the coordination between the two was seamless, and the morale of the Red soldiers completely collapsed, and the people had no intention of fighting, and a large number of soldiers fled into the city.

The chivalrous warriors in the Red Army are quite tenacious and want to continue to resist, but it's okay to let them fight alone, but in the battlefield of thousands of troops, no matter how powerful the warriors are, they can't hold out for long.

I saw that on the battlefield, there were many knights blocking the charge of the heavy cavalry, people blocked in front of the cavalry team, or cast the skills of the underworld, or slashed with weapons, while they cut down one or several heavy cavalry, they were also knocked down by the cavalry that followed them, and then, people did not even have a chance to get up from the ground, and the square of the heavy cavalry trampled directly on them.

Under the countless iron hooves, the armor on their bodies became extremely fragile and crumbled to pieces, and when a wave of cavalry passed, there were no complete corpses on the ground, only flesh and flesh blurred pieces and flesh foam.

Even if he is a chivalrous man who is famous and can call the wind and rain before his death, he is as fragile as a flower when he falls here, and when the hurricane passes, he will leave withering all over the ground.

The news of the loss of the eastern city spread far and wide, and soon spread to the northern, southern and western cities, at this time, the morale of the defenders began to collapse on all fronts, and then, the three cities were also lost one after another, and the remnants of the Red Army all retreated into the city.

The Jin army hated the Red Army in Guankou City to the extreme, and without Lin Haotian's order to slaughter the city, the soldiers of the Jin Army had already begun to do so.

In the ensuing street fighting, the Jin army did not accept the Red Army who were cornered and chose to surrender, even if the other party had laid down their arms, they would still pounce on the Red Army to deal a fatal blow.

At this point, the battle between the two sides has become completely unbalanced and has completely turned into a one-sided slaughter.

Lin Haotian entered the city from the north city, and while he commanded the soldiers of the Jin Army below to launch a fierce pursuit of the Red Army, he rushed in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, he wanted to see. Is there a secret passage to the Red Country in the City Lord's Mansion as he speculated?

Just as he was advancing in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion with all his might, the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and he looked back and saw that it was Yin Xiang who rushed over with the man in black and three middle-aged people.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he shook the blood stains on his long sword. Then he stood up straight, and when the other party got closer, he reminded "kindly": "Princess, although the pass city has been broken, there are still many remnants of the Red Army in the city, and the princess should not enter the city." ”

He said good things, but when he heard Yin Xiang's ears, it turned into sarcasm.

She gritted her teeth secretly and said with a smile: "General Lin is not afraid. What's more, if this palace follows the adults, it will be protected by the adults, and I believe that there will be no danger. ”

Lin Haotian was happy, shrugged, and didn't say anything more.

There are now few 100,000 Red Army troops stationed in Guankou City, and the fiercest resistance in the city at this time is the knights who have gathered from all over the city.

Lin Haotian and Yin Xiang had just walked out not far when there was a shout of killing on the roof of the roadside. At the same time, several knights jumped from the roof. One by one, holding spirit soldiers, they came straight to Lin Haotian and Yin Xiang with murderous energy.

Seeing this, the three middle-aged people who followed behind Yin Xiang were about to step forward to resist, she raised her hand first, signaling the three of them not to move, and then. She whispered to Lin Haotian again.

With Lin Haotian here, of course she doesn't need her people to take action, in case Lin Haotian can be injured in the hands of the other party, it can be regarded as helping her out of a bad breath.

Of course, her little caution could not hide from Lin Haotian's eyes, and the latter was not only angry. On the contrary, he was quite happy, after all, for him, chivalry was a 'delicacy' that could greatly increase his cultivation.

Those knights rushed to Lin Haotian's approach, without saying a word, or stabbing or slashing, and the moves were all aimed at Lin Haotian's vital point.

Lin Haotian took a deep breath and swung his sword to parry.

"Dang, dang, dang!" In a series of crisp sounds, several weapons were bounced away, and without waiting for the other party to collect the attack again, Lin Haotian took the lead.

I saw him leap forward, passing past a knight, and at the same time, his palm was opened, and he clasped the door of the man's face.

His movements were so fast that the knight didn't even see what was going on, and suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and then, his body flew out upside down.

Seeing this, the other three knights were all the same enemy, and they roared together and rushed towards Lin Haotian.

Lin Haotian snorted, seeing a long sword slashing in front of him, his body was slightly sideways, making it sharp, and then with a wave of his arm, it was hitting the opponent's arm.

His arm swing seemed random, but in fact the force was not small, and the knight felt that his arm was numb, and he couldn't grasp the long sword in his hand, so he flew away.

Without giving the other party a chance to react, Lin Haotian stepped forward and hit the man in the chest with a single fist. There was a crisp snap in the ear chakra, and the armor on the man's chest shattered, and his body collapsed limply.

At this time, two more big knives attacked from behind Lin Haotian, but the powerful double knives failed to cut Lin Haotian, only swept a black mist, and Lin Haotian's figure had disappeared alive in front of the two knights.

At the moment when the two of them were stunned for a moment, they suddenly felt that there was a pressure fluctuation behind their backs, and the two of them subconsciously turned their heads to look, and each saw a big hand stretched out towards them.

With two muffled bangs, the back of the necks of these two people was grabbed by Lin Haotian together, and he didn't see how hard he was, one in one hand, he lifted the two of them high above his head, and the flames emanating from his palms burned all over their bodies.

Whistling, whistling, the two knights turned into two large black fireballs in an instant, under the burning of the black fire, the two let out heart-rending screams, and the armor on their bodies quickly vaporized, and finally turned into dark qi together with the essence in their bodies.

The chivalrous man who had just been knocked down by Lin Haotian's punch got up from the ground tremblingly, and watched his three companions all die tragically under Lin Haotian's flames, he was heartbroken, knowing that he was not Lin Haotian's opponent, his eyes turned to look at Yin Xiang behind Lin Haotian.

He suddenly screamed, stretched his hands forward, and threw himself towards Yin Xiang like crazy.

Lin Haotian shook his arms and shook off the two corpses in his hand, allowing the chivalrous man to pass by him, with no intention of stopping him at all.

I saw that the chivalrous man rushed straight to Yin Xiang's horse, and then jumped high, and put his hands into her neck. This knight was covered with armor, and the palm covered with armor was as sharp as a knife, if it was really pierced by his palm. Yin Xiang was killed on the spot.

Before she could respond, a wave of slashing had already shot from the oblique stab, which was not deceived or correct, and just swept on the waist of the knight. Hearing a crisp click, the knight's body that was still parked in the air was broken in two on the spot, and at the same time a rain of blood was scattered in the sky.

Yin Xiang's heart trembled. Instinctively looking back, I saw the man in black holding the sword in his hand, and he knew without asking that the wave just now must have been cast by him.

She frowned secretly, but she couldn't blame the man in black for doing something wrong, the corners of her mouth moved, and finally swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

"The princess is so calm, but it's no wonder that she is protected by a master like Mr. Chang. The princess didn't seem to have much to worry about. Lin Haotian looked at Yin Xiang with a smile.

"General Lin's martial arts talent is even more admirable!" Yin Xiang said with a smile and flattery, but he was secretly scolding in his heart, he obviously had the opportunity to kill the chivalrous man who rushed towards him, but he refused to make a move, making it clear that he wanted this chivalrous man to die in his own hands.

"The princess has won the prize. Lin Haotian looked up and smiled, then got back on his horse and continued to run towards the City Lord's Mansion.

When Lin Haotian and his party rushed to the City Lord's Mansion, it was already out of order. It's fighting on the outside, and it's hitting on the inside. The sound of shouting and fighting was continuous.

In front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Haotian turned over and dismounted, and said to Yin Xiang without looking back: "It's dangerous inside, the princess should wait outside!" As he spoke, he had already rushed into the City Lord's Mansion.

Yin Xiang didn't think about it, and dismounted. Quickly caught up with Lin Haotian, and said unconvinced: "Where adults can go, this palace can also go!"

Hearing her words, the corners of Lin Haotian's mouth raised, but he didn't say anything. Continue to rush towards the hinterland of the City Lord's Mansion.

After entering the City Lord's Mansion, looking around, the fight inside can only be described as chaotic.

Now, there are a large number of Red Army and knights retreating to the City Lord's Mansion, and similarly, there are also a large number of Jin Army soldiers attacking the City Lord's Mansion, and the soldiers on both sides can be seen fighting inside and outside the house, in the courtyard, in the corridor and even on the roof.

Lin Haotian was walking inside, when suddenly, a steel arrow flew diagonally from the side, straight to his temple. He reacted very quickly, leaned back, dodged the steel arrow, and did not give the other party a chance to fire a second arrow, he flashed directly in front of the man with Feng Ling's swift step, and his palm turned into a hand knife, sweeping the opponent's head.

The steel archer shuddered and hurriedly crouched to dodge.

Hearing the sound of sand, Lin Haotian's hand knife swept over his head, and with it, he slashed off a large piece of the armor above his head.

The steel archer secretly screamed, he didn't dare to fight for a moment, he raised his leg to run, Lin Haotian sneered, and shouted: "Lie down!" As he spoke, his sweeping leg hit the opponent's ankle.

The steel archer screamed in pain, his body fell to the ground with a heavy blow, he struggled and wanted to get up, Lin Haotian stepped on his chest with his legs, and said in a condensed voice: "Don't move, move again, I'll step on a hole in you!"

What he said was not an exaggeration, with his martial arts and explosive power, he could really step through the body of the steel archer.

The man was frightened into a cold sweat, lying on the ground and not daring to struggle any longer, his eyes looking at Lin Haotian with fear.

"Tell me, where is the county head Zhang Murong now!" Lin Haotian asked in a deep voice.

The Steel Archer gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Lin Haotian nodded and said, "Toast and don't eat and drink!" As he spoke, he strengthened his feet, only to hear a click, the armor on the steel archer's chest was already full of cracks, as long as Lin Haotian added more force, the armor on his body would be broken immediately.

He shivered, swallowed his saliva, and said in a trembling voice, "Lord County...... Should...... It should still be ...... backyard," he raised his hand and pointed to his side as he spoke.

Lin Haotian glanced in the direction of his finger, and then didn't say anything, and with another force under his feet, with a click, the armor on the steel archer's chest was all shattered, and even with it, the sternum also sank down into a big deep pit.

He screamed, his nose and mouth were bleeding, and he was killed on the spot, until he died, his eyes widened, and he looked directly at Lin Haotian.

Lin Haotian has never been merciful to the enemy, and his words are completely dishonest.

He rushed in the direction of the steel archer's fingers, and along the way, he encountered a lot of red soldiers and knights to intercept him, but unfortunately, they couldn't stop Lin Haotian at all, but he gave his life in vain.

Lin Haotian went from the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion to the backyard, and when he saw that there was a courtyard surrounded by many Red Army, he didn't think about it, and rushed over directly. Before he could get close, the Red Army had already shot an arrow array first, and dense arrows were overwhelmingly coming towards Lin Haotian.

He narrowed his eyes, hooked his toes on the ground, picked up a corpse, and then kicked the corpse forward.

The corpse flew into the oncoming arrow array, and was immediately nailed into a hedgehog, and Lin Haotian took advantage of the corpse's arrow blocking to rush through the arrow array of the Red Army in one go.

When the Red Army wanted to launch the second round of arrow formations, they could no longer find Lin Haotian's figure, it turned out that he had flashed into the Red Army's camp with Feng Ling.

Lin Haotian waved the long sword in his hand, and the surrounding Red Army was dead if it was sticked, and it was dead when it was touched, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Haotian was killed by Lin Haotian in a big gap, and there were more than 20 corpses lying on the ground.

However, this group of Red Army troops was very tenacious, even if they saw that the enemy was powerful and they were far from being the opponents of others, they still rushed towards Lin Haotian with shouts.

Lin Haotian nodded secretly, this group of Red Army can be regarded as elite soldiers, so it can be seen that the courtyard they guard is extremely important, and Zhang Murong is in it nine times out of ten.

Thinking about this, he cheered up, no longer fought with the Red Army, and continued to perform Feng Ling's swift steps, climbing over the courtyard wall and breaking into the courtyard.

The number of Red soldiers gathered in the courtyard was even larger, and in the densest part of the crowd, there was a large group of Red Army generals, and in the center of the people, there was a middle-aged man wearing a civilian official uniform.

Lin Haotian only glanced at it, and then recognized this person, he was the first Murong of Yankou County. (To be continued......)
