Volume III Chapter 580

Confirming this, Ding Feng was completely relieved, his eyes rolled, pondered for a moment, and said to his own spies: "Brother, you take the trouble to go back again, find a way to sneak into the county capital, meet with Peng Cheng, and tell him that tonight's appointment is due to changes within our army, so we failed to go to the appointment on time, tomorrow night, we will take advantage of the night to attack the city, and when attacking the city, our army will borrow the secret passage to sneak into the city secretly, so that he can respond well, and the time is still in the middle of the day." ”

The spy had a straight face, and intervened and said, "Don't worry, the general, the villain will definitely get things done!"

Ding Feng is still very confident in the people of Tianyan, they are all elite people carefully selected by Shao Lin, he stood up and said: "This trip is dangerous, brothers must be more careful, I would rather not see Peng Cheng than startle the snake, arouse the suspicion of the red army in the city." ”

"The villain understands!" the spy bowed and said, "General, the villain farewell!"

The Jin army spies said goodbye to Ding Feng, and then returned the same way, and with the help of the cave, they unknowingly sneaked into the Red Dragon Mandala again.

As long as you can enter the city, it is not difficult to enter this temporary county capital, which is very loosely guarded, and the front and back are added together, and the number of soldiers who keep vigil does not exceed fifty.

It's not that there are not enough troops in the city, Peng Cheng has transferred all his guards to defend the city, but Wei Wuji doesn't give him military power at all, and now Peng Cheng, the military and political power has been hollowed out, but he just has the title of county head, and the person who really controls the real power has long been Wei Wuji.

Peng Cheng was like a mirror in his heart, as long as he waited until the end of this war, then the next unlucky person would definitely be himself, with Wei Wuji's character, he would never give up on his collusion with the Jin people, and he would definitely sue in front of the adults, when the time came. Not only is he finished, but it is estimated that the lives of the whole family will not be saved.

It was precisely because he saw through the stakes that he decided to take a risk, even if he was charged with killing Chen Ping, he still took the risk of sending people to Jin Jun to have an affair and gamble on his luck. Maybe you can fight a way out for yourself.

Peng Cheng has been the head of Surabaya County for a long time, a few years ago, he learned from a medicine farmer that there is a cave on Chilong Mountain that runs through the mountainside, at that time, he didn't pay much attention to it, but now, this information has become a magic weapon for him to save his life.

This is the ins and outs of Zhang Wu's secret meeting with Ding Feng in Jinying.

How the Jin army spies found Peng Cheng in the county capital and how they negotiated with him will not be mentioned for the time being, early the next morning. Ding Feng took a few partial generals and a group of guards to ride fast horses to the New Red Army camp.

Hearing the news that Ding Feng, the commander of the First Red Army, had personally come to pay a visit, General Bai He, the commander of the New Red Army, led many New Red Army generals out of the camp to greet him.

After meeting, the two sides inevitably exchanged polite greetings, and then, Baihe let Ding Feng and others into the Chinese military tent.

The guests and hosts of the two sides sat down, and Ding Feng said straight to the point: "Today, our army plans to storm the Red Dragon Altar, I wonder if it is convenient for the new Red Army brothers?"

"Oops! Brother Ding. To tell you the truth, I've been waiting impatiently. "White River is overjoyed. said with a smile: "I have been waiting for Brother Ding to say this for many days, in fact, Brother Ding only needs to send a messenger to inform him, why bother to go there himself?"

"The stakes are high, and I should have come in person, not to mention. Brother Bai is the master, I am the guest, if you only send a messenger to inform you of the joint army, it is too rude, and. Some of the words may not be clear!"

"Ha Luha, Brother Ding is too polite!" I didn't expect the famous First Legion Commander Ding Feng to be so polite and polite, Bai He felt useful, he leaned forward and asked, "How did Brother Ding arrange it?"

"During the day, the officers and men of your and my armies will eat a full meal, sleep and rest, and nourish their spirits, and wait until night, and our two armies will launch a strong attack on the Red Dragon Altar!"

"Brother Ding is going to attack at night?" Bai He asked in surprise.

"That's right! Although there are many inconveniences in attacking the city at night, our army is prepared, and the Red Army is negligent in taking precautions, perhaps the night attack can have a miraculous effect of surprise!" Ding Feng said with an oath.

Bai He slowly frowned, attacking the city at night is very unfavorable to the attacking side, the siege is already very difficult, and the soldiers are holding torches in one hand and weapons in the other, it is even more difficult, if there is no huge advantage, there is no possibility of success at all, how could Ding Feng suddenly come up with such a bad idea.

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Ding Fengzhi said that he was not very in favor of his night attack tactics, he smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Bai, don't worry, I am very confident in this battle, and our army also has a secret weapon, which will definitely be able to exert unexpected power in battle!"

Hearing this, the eyes of the New Red Kingdom generals present lit up, and their faces unconsciously showed puzzlement and curiosity, and Bai He asked with great interest, "What secret weapon?"

He had long heard that the Ordnance Department of the Jin Kingdom was particularly powerful, and all kinds of strange weapons emerged in an endless stream, could it be that the Ordnance Department of the Jin Kingdom had secretly developed some unknown sharp weapons?

Ding Feng looked up and smiled, and said, "Well, keep this secret for the time being, and when the war starts tonight, Brother Bai will know." ”

He refused to say, and Baihe stopped asking, but he was relieved a lot, as long as the Jin army had a sharp weapon to break the city, then what were he afraid of? He said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Ding, let's make a decision, tonight, you and I will attack the Red Dragon Altar at night!"

"Okay, we'll see you in front of the Red Dragon Mandala tonight!"

"See you in front of the city!"

Ding Feng and Bai He made an agreement to join forces at night to storm the Red Dragon Altar.

To make a long story short, after nightfall, all the troops of the First Legion left the camp and divided into two routes, all the way to the bottom of the Red Dragon Mountain, and all the way to the front of the Red Dragon Mandala.

The two armies were 50,000 people each, and the soldiers who went to Chilong Mountain were led by Chen Fang, the deputy commander of the First Army, and the soldiers who went to the city were led by Ding Feng himself.

When Ding Feng led the army to the front of the Red Dragon Mandala, the new Red Army had already lined up and waited for a long time.

Seeing that the Jin army had finally arrived, Bai He and a new Red Army general urged the horses to meet them, and after seeing Ding Feng, Bai He arched his hand and said: "Brother Ding is finally here, just waiting for you!"

"Forgive me, forgive me, I just cast a spell in the camp and delayed a little time. Ding Feng said casually with a smile.

"Spellcasting?" the speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, and Bai He's face is full of fame. He asked, "What spell?"

"If you want to break the Red Dragon Altar, relying on you and me alone, I'm afraid that it won't be so easy to defeat it, so I just cast a spell in the camp, and I specially invited 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals. Give us a hand. Ding Feng laughed and said nonsense.

Bai He and the new red generals looked at each other, wondering if Ding Feng had a problem with his brain, and cast a spell to ask the heavenly soldiers and generals to help in the battle, and pay back 100,000?

Without waiting for him to answer, Ding Feng waved his hand and said, "Brother Bai doesn't believe it, I'll see later." ”

Seeing that he was serious, Bai He really wanted to take a closer look at the Jin Army camp, and asked, "I don't know where the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals that Brother Ding invited to help are now?"

"When the time comes, it will fall from the sky!" Ding Feng said with a smug face.

The generals of the New Red Army were all crying and laughing. Gao Yuan leaned to Bai He's side and whispered, "General, look...... General Ding is not ......" As he spoke, he raised his hand and drew on his helmet.

Bai He's face was straight, and he turned around and reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Gao Yuan grinned, and it seemed that it was not himself who was talking nonsense, but Ding Feng.

Bai He forced a smile at Ding Feng. said: "Since Brother Ding invited the heavenly soldiers and generals, then this time." We're going to make it. ”

"That's right! Let the brothers of the new Red Army prepare wine and meat, and after the city is broken, we will hold a banquet in the Red Dragon Altar to celebrate the achievement!" Ding Feng looked as he should have been, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Baihe's words at all.

"Good, good, good!" Bai He nodded absentmindedly, then rubbed his palms and asked with a dry smile, "What about ...... Shall we wait until the time to storm the city or shall we attack it immediately?"

"Don't wait until the hour. Let's do it now! If we can break the city before the time of the child, and we don't have to worry about the heavenly soldiers and generals, then it is also a matter of public morality!" Ding Feng said indifferently.

"Okay! Just according to Brother Ding's opinion!" Bai He reluctantly agreed, and then shouted to the surrounding generals: "Our army will order, the whole army will attack the city!"

The New Red generals returned to the main camp of the New Red Army. There was also a lot of discussion.

"How can this General Ding still invite the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, is he really good at spells?"

"What kind of bullshit spell, if he really has a spell, won't Jin Guo destroy Chi Guo in the blink of an eye?!"

"That's right! In my opinion, this Ding Feng is too unreliable, not like the commander of the first army, but more like ...... It's more like a magic stick that confuses everyone!"

"It's hard to imagine that the commander of the famous First Legion is a madman!"

“......”

The new red generals said everything, but the general meaning was the same, Ding Fengtu had his name, but in fact he was a madman and a magic stick who did not learn and did not know how to deceive! Fighting side by side with such a person was simply a joke with his own life.

Among them, the only one who didn't taunt Ding Feng was Shi Xiao.

Although he and Ding Feng may not know each other very well, they are definitely not strangers, and when the Four Kingdoms were defeated, the two often had the opportunity to meet. Ding Feng left him with the impression that he was fierce and fierce to the enemy, humble and arrogant, his humility would only be shown in front of Lin Haotian, but for people other than Lin Haotian, his eyes were too high, this kind of person was a typical two-faced and three-sworded, good at flattery, fox and fake tiger, so Shi Xiao's impression of Ding Feng was not very good.

The impression is not good, but in his heart, Ding Fengke is by no means a god and a madman, on the contrary, he is very cunning when fighting against the enemy, like an old fox who has become a fine spirit, scheming, inscrutable.

As for why Ding Feng has become like this now, Shi Xiao can't tell what is going on, but there must be a conspiracy in it.

Listening to the ridicule and complaints of the generals, he said coldly: "Everyone, if it is not our business, don't worry about it, we just need to do our own business." ”

Shi Xiao is the leading fierce general of the New Red Country, and his prestige is quite high, as soon as he spoke, everyone closed their mouths one after another, and they didn't dare to say anything more.

Soon, the offensive of the new Red Army began.

Piece by piece of the new Red Army formation advanced towards the Red Dragon Altar, looking at the carpet of how each phalanx was on fire, the soldiers holding torches were next to each other, the formation was neat, and the military style was majestic.

Seeing the momentum of the New Red Army when attacking, Ding Feng also nodded secretly, the formation training of the New Red Army was really good, but unfortunately, it was not so pleasing to the eye when the battle started.

Bai He, who was standing side by side with Ding Feng, frowned secretly, his own soldiers had begun to advance, but the Jin army did not move at all. Ding Feng didn't have any intention of ordering an attack, he couldn't help but ask: "General Ding, our soldiers have also started to attack the city, I don't know when your army will go to war?"

Ding Feng sighed, smiled wryly, and stretched out his finger to point ahead. Said helplessly: "The road in front of the Red Dragon Mandala is narrow, and it is already crowded if the new Red Army brothers are allowed to advance, if our soldiers go up again, it will only add to the chaos, but it will not help!"

The terrain of the Red Dragon Altar is indeed unable to allow a large-scale army to be deployed in the attack, which is one of the reasons why the Red Dragon Altar is difficult to capture, but let your own side fight desperately in the front, and the Jin army can sit back and enjoy its success in the rear. That's too much to say.

Bai He rolled his eyes and said: "Brother Ding, it's better to do this, our army is attacking here, and your army will move to the east of the city to attack, so that our side will also reach the momentum of a flanking attack, making it difficult for the enemy to deal with." ”

Ding Feng shook his head again and again. "I've personally checked the terrain in the east of the city, and it's narrower and steeper. Not to mention attacking the city, even if it is difficult for our soldiers to advance to the city, it is better for you and my army to attack here together. Ding Feng didn't dare to leave, he was afraid that if he wasn't there, the New Red Army would still be the same as before. After attacking twice, seeing that it was difficult to win, he was defeated and retreated to the camp.

Hearing that he was reasonable, Bai He was not easy to force, so he had to say patiently: "Okay! This first formation, our army will fight first, and wait for our army to weaken." Your brother's brother will go up again!"

"Yes, what Brother Bai said is very true!" Ding Feng nodded in response.

They attacked from the main gate of the Red Dragon Altar, that is, the south of the city, where the uphill slope was the slowest and the road was relatively widest, but even so, the new Red Army still had a great difficulty in advancing.

First of all, the Red Army's condescending arrow shooting, due to the terrain, the range and power of the Red Army's arrow array have greatly increased, when the vanguard of the new Red Army is still one hundred and fifty steps away from the Red Dragon Altar, the Red Army's arrow array has been split and covered with face falling.

The second is the stone throwing machine in the city, the stone bullets of the round ancient midwinter keep flying out of the city, smashing into the camp of the new Red Army, which can always attract a scream, this is not the end, after the stone bomb lands, it has to roll out a long way to the bottom, and the new Red Army is more crushed and wounded.

Because of the slope relationship, the rolling wood and stones do not move after they land, but slowly roll down the hillside, rolling faster and faster, and reel into the camp of the new Red Army, which will attract bursts of wailing.

The attacking New Red Army, before it approached the bottom of the city wall, was killed and wounded countless by the Red Army's long-range weapons alone, and the soldiers advanced together, and the wounded and dead were thrown down, leaving corpses all over the ground and wounded soldiers struggling for help wherever the New Red Army passed.

If before, under such a fierce counterattack by the Red Army, the New Red Army might have been forced to retreat again, but now, there is the Jin Army behind them, and the soldiers of the New Red Army do not want to be embarrassed in front of the Jin Army.

Next, the ladders were erected one after another, and the new Red soldiers threw away their torches one after another, picked up their weapons in one hand, and grabbed the ladder in the other, and climbed up with all their might.

The new Red Army attacked fiercely, the Red Army counterattacked more fiercely, the arrows shot down were dense like raindrops, rolling logs, and stones were like snowflakes, and the soldiers of the New Red Army who were attacking the city rushed up in a wave, and they were beaten down in a wave, and the battle between the two sides was not yet an hour, and the corpses of the New Red Army under the city wall had been piled up high.

Where is this a tough battle, more like a suicidal attack like a moth to a fire.

Under the high-intensity counterattack of the Red Army, the morale of the siege soldiers of the New Red Army began to gradually collapse, and more and more New Red Army troops crowded under the city wall, but there were fewer and fewer soldiers who dared to climb the ladder and charge towards the city.

Soon, the battle ahead was unfavorable, and the news that his offensive was weakening was transmitted back to Shirakawa.

Bai He calculated the time in his heart, his own offensive had lasted for more than an hour, it was not short, and he said to Ding Feng: "Brother Ding, the soldiers of our army have been unable to attack for a long time, and they have suffered heavy casualties and are tired from top to bottom, isn't it...... You've changed your army to attack?"

Ding Feng was not ambiguous, and immediately gave the order to go down, and the officers and men of the First Army advanced forward to replace the brothers of the New Red Army.

He has always heard that the First Legion is extremely fierce, invincible, and invincible, and he has the opportunity to see it with his own eyes today, how can he not carefully observe the tactics and characteristics of the First Legion.

Under Ding Feng's order, all the officers and men of the First Army Corps, which had only 50,000 men, were dispatched to let the retreating New Red Army, and then, in a neat phalanx, pressed towards the Red Dragon Altar.

Basically the same situation encountered by the new Red Army when they advanced, when they entered the Red Dragon Altar one hundred and fifty paces, they were attacked by the Red Army's arrow array, but surprisingly, the Red Army only one round of arrow formation, and the first army was not moving forward.

The people stopped advancing, and the shouts in the camp came and went, and they didn't know what they were doing.

Bai He, who wanted to learn some skills from the First Legion, stretched his neck, poked his head, looked at the First Legion stopped halfway up the hill, his face was full of puzzlement, and he subconsciously asked Ding Fengdao beside him: "General Ding, what are the brothers of your army doing? Why don't you leave?"

Ding Feng stared at the battlefield with a solemn face and did not speak.

What are the First Legions doing? They're setting up. (To be continued......)
