More than 3,000 people, guarding this section of the black market residential area, in the middle of the two hills, there is a small road, which is the only place to pass!

The number of mercenaries on the black market is only fifteen hundred, and the rest are untrained civilians!

After the first battle, the mercenaries had already lost more than four hundred people.

Standing a kilometer outside the hills, he judged that there must be an ambush here, and then sent spies to reconnoiter the direction of the enemy army.

Of the ten spies discharged by the Fire Thousand Blades, three of them returned, and these three only brought back the approximate direction, and went deeper.

Then he ordered the army of 9,000 to be divided into three routes, with the left army feintting to attack the hills on the left and the right on the center, and attacking the lower hills on the right, striving to take it in the shortest possible time.

A thousand men were assigned to cut the connection between the two and prevent each other from reinforcing each other.

One catapult was assigned to the left wing, and the other two to the right.

Then the catapults, slowly advancing forward, while the archers, under the cover of the infantry, quickly advanced.

Zhang Wu arranged 1,200 men on the high mountain, 1,900 on the other side, and thousands more in the rear, ready to attack the flank of the fire thousand blades at any time.

In addition to attacking with 10,000 people, Huo Qianjian also left 868 people as a response.

And the 1,000 people responsible for blocking can also evacuate the battlefield at any time to support the flanks, as well as the rear.

Beiyong Palace

Yan Xie asked, "Ergou, how is the situation of army mobilization?" ”

Ergou replied: "Back to the master, when the slave went to find the fire general, he sent people to Beijiang City to draw 1,700 people, Beiliang City to draw 680 people, and Beihai City 910 people, and they should all be able to arrive today." ”

Yan Xie nodded and said, "Well, they are far away, and it is understandable that they will arrive later." ”

"After they came, they all sent them to the fire general, and in addition, told him that after breaking through the black market, they should cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and they should not leave hidden dangers."

"As for Chen Cao, give me a life, betray me, and there will be no good end."

Ergou replied: "It's the master, the slave will go and tell the Fire Thousand Blades General." ”

The existence of the black market in Beiyongcheng is just one example, because at the beginning of the establishment of Beiyongcheng, the Nanfeng country in the north often attacked under Beiyongcheng, and even almost broke through once.

Later, the king of Beiyong at that time made people chisel the city wall and connect it with the canyon outside Beiyong City, in order to ensure the safety of Beiyong City, the canyon where the black market is located is surrounded by almost vertical cliffs, so there is only one place at the entrance!

To the east of the black market, there is an underground river that leads somewhere.

Later, the mercenaries drove the officers and soldiers out, and it became a black market! Because the black market is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the officials and soldiers have been encircled and suppressed several times, but it has not had much effect.

black market

Because the mercenary's equipment is relatively poor, the range of the bow and arrow is not as good as that of the official army, so to a large extent, it can only be beaten passively, the maximum range of the mercenary's bow and arrow is 200 steps, but the range of the army is 300 steps, and the army also has a catapult, 700 steps of ultra-long range.

The two catapults can only drop stones now, and because of the direction of the wind, they cannot be attacked, otherwise the attack will be blocked.

The fire thousand blades ordered the archers, and at the maximum range, the arrow feathers were covered.

Then there was a scream from the hills, which sounded terrible.

After two quarters of an hour covered by catapults and archers, the infantry charged, and when the infantry reached 200 paces, the mercenary archers began to counterattack, and the mercenaries had very few bows and arrows!

Soon after the infantry rushed to fifty paces, the mercenary's arrow feathers had all been consumed!

And the arrows of the officers and soldiers, they can't use them at all! Because it is a special production!

The mercenaries were forced to fight with a hand-to-head fight.

Zhang Wu pulled out his long knife and shouted, "Brothers, rush!" For the sake of our family! ”

Then he was the first to rush out of the woods and run to the nearest enemy army!

Zhang Wu slashed at him.

"Death to Lao Tzu!"

More than 1,500 people on the mountain also rushed down after Zhang Wu, and more than 300 people were killed in the stray arrows of the official army just now.

When Zhang Wu saw this group of officers and soldiers who had already killed thousands of his brothers, the anger in his heart could be imagined.

Zhang Wu didn't have the slightest affection for them, it was a battle without any suspense 6000 to 1500!

On the other side, they also fought very hard, and they wanted to support but they were powerless, after all, they only had 1,200 people, and their opponents had 3,000 people.

Zhang Wu watched the brothers around him fall in front of him one after another, and he roared unwillingly......

Then he killed another enemy, and soon Zhang Wu was surrounded by more than ten enemies, and beside Zhang Wu, there were five or six enemy corpses.

On Yan'er's side, Chenfeng did not show the slightest sign of awakening, but the Xuan Qi in Chenfeng's body was increasing little by little.

Yan'er held Chenfeng's hand, her eyes were very worried, and she muttered in a low voice, "Brother Chenfeng, when will you wake up?" ”

"Yan'er knows that Chen Cao can rush out with them, but he didn't choose to take them out for the sake of you, he constantly stimulates their hatred of the officials and soldiers, just to buy time for you."

"Brother Morrowind, wake up quickly......"

"Just let Yan'er beg you......"

At this time, Chen Cao, with 4,000 people, rushed out between the two hills.

"Kill! Kill all the brutes! ”

Because of the addition of Chen Cao in the middle lane, the pressure doubled, because there are only 1,000 people in the middle lane!

Huo Qianjian pulled out another 500 people from his side to replenish the middle lane to resist Chen Cao's reinforcements, and then he ordered the right flank to crush them as quickly as possible, and the other two roads were self-defeating.

Zhang Wu saw the arrival of reinforcements, and he felt that the pressure was even greater, and it was obvious that the enemy's attacks were more ferocious, and the people on his side were almost exchanged for injuries!

It didn't take long for more than half of the mercenaries on the hill on the right side to suffer casualties, and if they hadn't dispersed in a straight line, they would have faced seven or eight people besieging one person at the same time!

At this time, the heat was approaching evening, and the two hills were all stained red with blood, and there were many corpses lying on the ground, and human stumps could be seen everywhere.

After nearly half a day of white-knuckle fighting, Zhang Wu was almost exhausted, but the enemies in front of him were still rushing towards him, and he could only force himself not to fall!

With the only remaining right arm, he held the knife and supported his body.

His eyes stared fiercely at the enemy in front of him, who did not dare to step forward, but was about to move, and the clothes on his body, in case they were stained red with blood, his severed left arm, the blood had already coagulated.

An afternoon of high-intensity fighting should have exhausted him, but he hadn't fallen yet!

His eyes were fierce, and he stared at the enemy in front of him, like a very hungry demon wolf.

He, once again, raised his long knife and rushed towards the enemy, and shouted vigorously in a slightly hoarse voice: "Come on!! ”

"Let Grandpa kill him happily, and use your head to pay tribute to my wife and children who were killed by you!!"

At this time, Zhang Wu, he didn't seem to feel the pain on his body, and he almost slashed at the enemy in front of him with a knife.

By Chen Cao's side, there were already more than a dozen cold corpses.

Gradually, the sun in the sky has set, and this day is cruel and long......

After Chen Cao killed the enemy in front of him, he shouted to one of the people beside him: "You! Go tell Zhang Wu! Remove!! ”

After shaking off his opponent, the man shouted vigorously: "Yes! ”

Then he quickly retreated and rushed to the hill where Zhang Wu was.

"Captain Zhang! Remove! ”

After Zhang Wu heard the order to retreat, he shouted loudly after killing one person in front of him with all his strength: "Brothers! Remove!!! ”

When the mercenaries heard the order to retreat, most of them quickly shook off their opponents and hurriedly retreated.

But there are still a small number of people who are reluctant to leave.

A moment later, there were only countless officers and soldiers left, as well as dozens of mercenaries left in the two hills......

Some people don't have time to leave, and some don't want to leave at all!

But soon, those who wanted to go, those who didn't want to go, all fell one after another!

But not a single one surrendered!

After confirming that there were no pursuers, Chen Cao said: "Everyone, correct on the spot and report the situation!" ”

After a while, someone shouted: "Report, the remaining number of people on the left wing is 427." ”

"Report, there are 3,200 people left in the middle of the road."

Chen Cao looked at Zhang Wu and asked, "Brother Zhang, what are you?" ”

At this time, Zhang Wu's face was full of sadness, and after a while, he took a deep breath before he slowly spoke: "There are still one hundred and thirty-three people left. ”

At this time, the surroundings are very quiet......

Chen Cao opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

Nineteen hundred! Only one hundred and thirty-three people remained! Don't save one out of ten!

It's all because of his selfishness, but he can't say.

He stood up, patted Zhang Wu's shoulder lightly and said, "Mourning." ”

After that, Chencao quickly left.

The other side

Sitting behind the table, the Fire Thousand Blades said, "The armies report casualties. ”

One person stood up and clenched his fists and said, "General, the Middle Route Army has 200 dead, 200 lightly wounded, and 61 seriously wounded. ”

"General, four hundred and twenty-nine killed on the left flank, one hundred and twenty-four seriously wounded, and one hundred and thirteen lightly wounded."

"General, eight hundred and thirty-seven killed on the right flank, one hundred and thirteen seriously wounded, and fifty-four lightly wounded!"

Huo Qianjian nodded and said, "How many people have died." ”

"Returning to the general, I won the 3340th level of Diao Min's head."

After hearing this, Huo Qianjian smiled very satisfied.

"Yes, the army obeys the order!"

"The little prince has an order, after breaking the black market, slaughter the city! Not a single one to stay! ”

When people heard the word slaughter, they were shocked, and one of them asked, "General, why?" ”

Fire Thousand Blades looked at him and scolded, "Idiot! Slaughter the city to put an end to future troubles! Don't you understand the truth of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots! ”

Seeing that Huo Qianshou was angry, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The general forgives the sin, the general calms his anger, and the last general understands, slaughter the city, and leave no one behind." ”

After hearing this, Huo Qianshou said, "Well, you guys go down." ”

The crowd then slowly retreated.
