Chapter 564: Traitor
The resumption of the fighting, even more so than when it rained, and the coalition forces launched waves of non-stop attacks, from the mountainside to the hilltop, everywhere there were fighting figures.
The rain of arrows continued to fly towards the top of the hill, and the shields of the Breakers were already full of feathered arrows. Although Lexi is still trying his best to organize the Sky Shaking Bow and the usable bow and crossbow to fight back, it is still much weaker than the number of the coalition army.
In the air, the Righteous Hurdules had taken advantage of the rain break to re-mobilize, and swept the coalition forces clustered at the foot of the mountain. However, as Wu Gan said, the number of the Righteous Eagles was still too small, and although the coalition forces did not dare to take to the air to intercept and kill the Righteous Eagles without authorization, the casualties caused by them were really not worth mentioning for the huge number of the coalition forces.
Casualties were increasing dramatically, and the Northern Army was forced to retreat step by step, step by step to the top of the hill. Many of the caves on the mountainside had been breached, and the people in the caves were gradually driven out and retreated to the top of the hill to defend it.
The attack of the coalition army was beaten down again, Wu Yan rubbed the blood on the broken knife in the muddy water, kicked the corpse of the Lu family's personal soldiers in front of him, and raised his eyes to look around. There are few people on the mountain, and even people like Wu Gen and Baoxiang have to participate in the fight.
Now the attrition on the forest hill is serious, and there are only more than 600 people left in the broken formation, and the worst is the west, which is guarded by the northern soldiers who were originally lying in the cave and the archers who have lost their bows and crossbows, and An Hai is specifically responsible for commanding. In this wave, there have been fifty percent casualties. The rest are also exhausted, and they don't know if they can survive the next wave of assault.
"Those Yanshi are ready." Wu Gen turned his head to look at the treasure elephant and took a sip of the wine with the smell of blood.
"All the Yan divisions have been transferred to Lin Qiu, and Xue Xin has no worries from the Yue Da Breaking Alliance, and is ready to send another thousand people here to support." Bao Xiang panted.
"There aren't many people left in the city, and if the coalition forces attack the city, Xue Xinke will be in danger." Wu Yan smiled bitterly, now the situation is critical, we can only tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, "As for Yanshi, that is our last resort, don't use it until you have to, you have to cooperate with Congyue and Yang Zheng, and launch it together to force back the coalition army." How about those military villages under the woodhills. ”
Le Xi hurried over, he had been staying at the top of the hill, but he could see the situation of the military village, "It's not good, now that the rain has stopped, the Gu family's rockets can be used again, and they are storming the military village." If the west side of Lyncho is lost, they will face a situation of being caught between two sides.
Zhang Tong's territorial wall was also fought extremely hard, because of the rain, the Ba family's methods were even more like a fish in water, the first earthen wall has completely collapsed, and the second is also damaged in many places. As soon as the earthen wall is lost, the back of the military fortress will be exposed, and the passage between us and the city will be cut off. ”
Wu Gen looked at the scattered soldiers on the hill in the west, bit it and said: "Send a letter to Xue Xin, ask him to send someone quickly, five hundred for Wuyang, and five hundred for Lin Qiu, there are not too many people on the forest hill." Today is boiling, the coalition forces are boiling, we are also boiling, whoever can hold on will win. ”
"Yes." Le Xi hurriedly responded.
Woo, there was another horn sound in the distance, this was the coalition army preparing for the next wave of attacks.
First of all, the Cang family's dense arrow rain suppressed, and then the people who were pressed by the black pressure rushed to the mound again, this time the Lu family's transformed personal soldiers were concentrated, mainly attacking the south, and the east was the Ba family and the Lu family's ordinary soldiers were responsible. 33
As for the west, the soldiers in white armor of the Gu family were in groups of three or five, alternately covering the front, constantly firing rockets upward, and for a while, there was a lot of smoke on the mound.
Wu Yan stood on the top of the hill, looked at Xue Xin's subordinates who were maneuvering here in the north, and sighed, it was too late. The Ba family has already captured a section of the earthen wall, cutting off the north-south passage, and Zhang Wuyang is leading people to counterattack with all their might, trying to reopen the north-south communication.
If you detour from the western camp, there will be a lot of commotion, and the people of the ancient family have already broken into the military village. With so many people passing through it, it can't be said that it will make the military village even more chaotic.
In this wave, the people on the woods had to hold on to themselves. Looking at the Yanshi who had been carefully guarding the top of the hill, Wu Jian still decided to wait a little longer and not launch their means for the time being.
Suddenly, Wu Gan's expression was stunned and he looked to the west of the forest hill. The south and east sides were already in close contact with the enemy, and the fighting was very fierce, but the position of Anhai in the west was much calmer.
The people of the Gu family stopped at the mountainside, but they did not attack, but were just vigilant against the movement of the northern army on the mountain. Immediately afterwards, a general who was obviously dressed as a member of the Ba family walked out.
An Hai quickly greeted him, bowed his knees to this person, and said something to him. Soon, the man nodded, and with a wave of his hand, nearly a hundred soldiers of the Northern Army walked out of the ranks, dropped the weapons in their hands, and followed An Hai down the mountain with their heads down.
The remaining Northern Sergeants looked at the direction of the top of the hill with a blank expression. Someone followed and walked a few steps, but then turned around and came back.
Witnessing this scene, Wu Gan's scalp exploded all of a sudden, and at this time, he didn't know that An Hai actually surrendered the coalition army on the spot. Judging by the situation, it should be that he secretly established contact with the people of the Ba family, and only then did he turn against the water.
As soon as he left, the entire western part of the northern army would be exposed to enemy attacks, and the military fortress located under the forest hills would also be attacked by the enemy, and the entire defense system would be in danger of collapsing.
Although it is already a stumbling force at this time, it can still be maintained no matter what, and Wu Gen still has a back hand, but An Hai's move is to forcibly remove the pillar of this system.
Without saying a word, Wu Yan rushed to the west of the forest hill with his sword, where there were still more than a few hundred people, and they must not be allowed to surrender with them, or be surrounded and killed by the dragons without a leader. At the same time, Baoxiang and the others also reacted, roaring and running to the western hillside.
Countless rockets were fired at the Northern Army soldiers who did not follow them, and many of them were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another.
"An Hai, you are looking for death." Wu Yan roared angrily as he ran, and the sky-shaking bow in his hand shot at the Gu family soldiers continuously. Seeing this, Le Xi at the top of the hill also came to his senses, and he was furious, and hurriedly asked those archers holding the sky-shaking bow to fight back against the people of the Gu family.
Under the dense rockets, Wu Gen finally came to the front of his subordinates, his body was already covered with thick smoke, his armor was already tattered, and he shouted at these people who had been beaten a little dazed, "Retreat above." ”
Finally, someone came to his senses, and while following behind Wu Gen to intercept the opponent, he slowly withdrew in the direction of the top of the hill. The treasure elephant showed its four arms, roaring wildly and pounced on the Gu family soldiers who were trying to besiege Wu Gan, and there were seven or eight arrows hanging on his fat body.
At the same time, Meng Shun also hurriedly separated half of the formation-breaking soldiers guarding the south and responded to Wu Yan and the others nearby. And he stood in front of the remaining hundred people in his house, shouted, no longer stubborn, but led his subordinates to charge back against the Lu family soldiers in front of him.
Meng Shun is a tiger general, and he fights very steadily, and it is rare to see him so moved. As long as he sits in the formation, he will give people inexplicable confidence, and the formation breakers will not fall. But now even he has taken the lead in killing the enemy, which shows that the situation has reached a precarious situation.
On the forest hill, the three lines are slowly retreating, Wu Gan's body has no less than ten wounds, the clothes in the armor are tightly adhered to the blood, and the blood stains are layered, there are enemies, and there are also his own. One arm was struck and hung down, and he was no longer able to hang down, so he could only respond to the enemy with one arm.
The elephant was covered in blood, his helmet was deformed, blood fell from the top of his head, and one eye was covered in blood.
The long knife in Meng Shun's hand had been broken, and after tearing a Lu family soldier in his hand, he retreated to the top of the hill with his remnants of more than 20 people, commanding the two hundred men in the east to retreat slowly.
Due to the loss of the west side of Linqiu, he not only had to divide his troops to support, but also took the remnants of his men to take charge alone, even if the broken soldiers were tenacious, they could not withstand the other party's wave of rushing and killing, and the broken soldiers in the south were almost completely killed and wounded.
By this time, the northern army had all retreated to the top of the hill, and was surrounded by the enemy on three sides except for the north.
On the forest hills, there are dense people everywhere, including the Lu family, the Gu family, the Ba family, and even the people of the Cang family abandoned their horses and climbed up on foot. Everyone knows that today's battle is the final decisive moment.
Wu Yan stood on the top of the hill and reached out to take off his helmet, blood slowly flowing from his head. As far as the eye can see, the huge forest hills are full of enemies.
Billowing smoke rose and filled the entire wooded hill. The Wuzi tooth banner that hunted in the wind was already tattered and ragged, and it seemed that it would fall in an instant. The dead bodies lay on the hillside, bleeding non-stop, but no one stepped forward to clean up, and the thick smell of blood and smoke mixed with each other, filled the air, pungent and unpleasant.
The most direct consequence of the comprehensive retreat of the Linqiu defense was to make the military fortress behind the earthen wall suddenly face an attack from a high place. Two of the three military villages have been breached, and the soldiers are retreating one after another, moving closer to the last military fortress.
The elephant got up from the ground tiredly, with a deep wound in his abdomen, and the blood was still flowing uninterruptedly. He was so badly injured that his four arms had been reduced to two, and he could no longer maintain this appearance.
"Are you going to use Flying Thunder?" The elephant leaned against a slightly straight slope, gasping for air.
Wu Gan's face was gloomy, and he looked at the coalition forces that had stopped shooting arrows but were constantly shrinking the encirclement, "Wait for their people to pile up a pile of more and then use flying thunder, so that there will be more deaths." ”
"Don't take Anhai's affairs too seriously, not everyone is not afraid of death." Baoxiang hesitated, but still persuaded him.
Wu Yan didn't say a word, his eyes stared at the coalition army who was climbing up cautiously, "After the Flying Thunder is dispatched, if the coalition army still wants to attack Lin Qiu, you lead people to meet Wuyang along the northern slope, and take Ji Yan and them to move closer to Qili City." Now we can't suddenly retreat westward, the team is too scattered, and it can only be broken by others one by one, and it has to be reintegrated. ”
"What about you?"
"After Meng Shun and I broke off, otherwise we would be embellished by others, and no one would be able to escape." Wu Gen calmly wiped the blood from the broken knife with a black cloth.
", let me run to you to block the knife, get out of the way. If you want to break it, I will break it, and you hurry down to reorganize the army. Bao Xiang's face turned red with anger.
Wu Yan smiled with difficulty and patted the helmet of the treasure elephant, "Okay, let's withdraw together, I said that I had to use the withdrawal." Lexi, send a message to the Vigilantes in the air and ask them to convey it. After the thunder sounded, all the mastiffs and wolves of Niu Ye were dispatched, regardless of life or death, to attack the coalition army, covering the retreat of our troops on the forest hill to the city of Qianli.
Another informed Yang Zheng that he launched a fire attack at the same time, and led people to attack Lu Lie's Chinese army from the month, and now I have also seen that most of the men and horses of the coalition army are concentrated here, scaring Lu Lie, and if he can't say it, he will withdraw part of his troops.
Ji Yan, taking advantage of the chaos on the forest hills, quickly moved closer to the city. Since we can't beat it, let's abandon Lin Qiu. ”
Lexi's mouth opened twice, and finally gave up.
The coalition forces stopped when they were still more than fifty paces away from the northern army, and formed a circle, but they did not come forward to attack.
A general of the Gu family in white armor walked out and gave a salute to Wu Gan, "Wu Zhenfu, I am the ancient white grass of the ancient family, and I have seen Zhenfu on the order of the young master." Now that our six allied forces have surrounded your legion, it will only hurt people if we continue to fight.
The young master of my family has always respected and calmed down, and I just want to persuade him, what is the benefit of working for the Ji family, it is better to switch to my coalition army. If the big thing is successful, why is it difficult to have one more Wu family in the Iron Hand Province. ”
Wu Yan smiled when he heard this, glanced at Baoxiang, got up and walked to the front of his team, "Thank you Gu Yangsi for me, I understand his kindness." Tell him that Wu Gen is not a person who betrays his friends, and since he has agreed to his brother's affairs, there is no reason to give up halfway. ”
Gu Baicao was about to speak, and a person walked out from the side, it was the general of the Ba family who answered Anhai, "Wu Zhenfu, I am the Ba family, and the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie." Now that the army is around, suppressing and fighting again is only a waste of the lives of his sons. The young master of my family instructed, please calm down and think twice, leave a useful body, and say that there will be another opportunity in the future. ”
Wu Gan's face sank, and he said coldly, "Call An Hai over, I want to ask." ”
Ba Yan was slightly stunned, but he still nodded in agreement, anyway, he had already surrounded Wu Gan, and he couldn't play any tricks.
After a while, there was a soldier of the Ba family who escorted one person up, it was An Hai who had just surrendered to the enemy.
Some people died, but not completely......
