The gate of the Black Wind Cottage slowly opened, and as cracks appeared in the thick and heavy gate, the figure of the sunspot appeared first, and the oblique light shone on the face that was pale and weak, and at this time, the body was close to the gate to keep the upright sunspot a little shaky.

Finally, with the opening of the walled door, the sunspot could no longer control his body, his body was slumped, and he fell to the ground with the cracking of the walled door, and at the last moment when his eyes slowly closed, the corners of the sunspot's mouth twitched slightly, squeezing out an ugly but sunny smile.

Although the sunspot had fallen to the ground and had no power to resist, none of the horse thieves in the cottage dared to take the opportunity to step forward, but in an exclamation, like a flock of frightened birds, they turned their heads and fled in all directions, as if the half-open gate of the village was a gate of hell.

Outside the cottage, from the moment the figure of the sunspot appeared, Ding Li, who had recovered his spirit on horseback, rushed up first, followed by Qin Mo and Wang Ling, the two deputy generals and Zhang Han's personal army, and then the generals such as Xiao Lizi, Gouzi and the Wang brothers who reacted quickly, led their subordinates to surge up like a tide, wanting to drown and extinguish the raging fire burning in front of them in one fell swoop.

Ding Li was the first to urge the horse to rush to the gate of the village, jumped to the ground without waiting for the mount to be stable, jumped to the side of the sunspot in one step, stretched out his hand to probe several important parts of the sunspot, and the anxiety on his face eased a little, and then he shouted to the people who hurriedly stopped the mount behind him: "Quick!" Send the sunspot to Xu Hong's side, hurry up and stop the bleeding, and save it! ”

As soon as the words fell, Ding Li's arm was suddenly dragged, and he lowered his eyes in surprise, only to see that the sunspot who was being held by him was slowly opening his eyes, and then grinned, revealing a mouthful of red teeth stained with blood, and whispered weakly: "Brother Li, don't, leave me alone, cottage, cottage." ”

"! A mere Black Wind Cottage, how can my brother's life matter? Ding Li immediately glared at the sunspot and interrupted the other party's words sharply, but then two pro-soldiers ran forward and quickly took the injured sunspot from Ding Li's hands, which seemed to be Ding Li's instructions just now, and the two pro-soldiers didn't have time to greet Ding Li, and ran to the rear with the sunspot, and at the same time Zhang Han also sent several pro-soldiers to follow up to temporarily protect.

At this time, the Southern Navy led by Ding Li was already standing under the gate of the village, and it was not a matter of whether to enter the Black Wind Cottage immediately, and the resistance in the cottage was completely unconcerned, but as Gouzi and Xiao Lizi and others led the soldiers to enter the cottage one after another, after a while, the cottage was gradually filled with shouts of killing, and even the fire in the distance seemed to be burning more vigorously.

The houses in the cottage are scattered, but I don't know who took the lead in throwing a torch at the house with the wooden structure as the main body, and with the first wisp of smoke slowly floating, it quickly summoned countless companions, and the residential area where the horse thieves usually gather soon burned, and the entire sky seemed to be covered by thick smoke in the blink of an eye, and the roar of killing and killing in the raging fire gradually covered it.

In the midst of the fire, I occasionally think of one or two piercing screams, and even accompanied by the sudden appearance of fire people with flames all over their bodies, and then howling and rolling around in the open space, trying to get rid of it as much as possible but never being able to completely get rid of the scorching flames, but in the gradual weakening of the screams, the fierce action gradually slowed down, and finally was burned alive in broad daylight.

Soon, Ding Li and others also joined in this difficult battle to pacify the Black Wind Cottage, but the end of this battle did not encounter any stubborn resistance, even the one-eyed ghost who took the lead among the horse thieves at the moment, only after leading people to make symbolic resistance, he took a small number of henchmen to break out, but was strongly blocked by Wang Ling at the gate of the village, and then was completely killed by Qin Mo with more than ten elite horses, and the one-eyed ghost himself was also stabbed under the horse by Qin Mo with a shot, Then the head was also cut off by Qin Mo and handed over to Wang Ling at the gate of the wall, and soon it was hung up and hung in front of the gate, and the horse thieves who had lost their fighting spirit fell into the deep valley again one by one with the occurrence of this scene, and even many people have begun to give up resistance, allowing the Southern Navy to carry out a bloody slaughter on them in this land that originally belonged to them.

During this period, Ding Li took his own army to climb the wall of the village to seize the only commanding height, standing at the battlement, looking at the fire that had been connected together in the cottage, Ding Li's heart was like the five-flavor bottle had been overturned, and the indescribable taste mixture lingered in his heart.

The massacre in the cottage can be said to come and end quickly, it seems that in the blink of an eye, the officers and men of the Southern Navy have already begun to finish the finishing work, the whole cottage is full of the corpses of horse thieves, in addition to the smell of burning wood in the house, there is also a strong smell of meat wafting in the air, but this meat fragrance, so that Ding Li and others on the wall of the wall will have a strange feeling after breathing, and even have a disgusting feeling of disgust.

Xu Hong, who was outside the cottage, personally led people into the wall of the cottage to report to Ding Li, the injury of the sunspot has been controlled and out of danger, after a simple statistics, the Southern Navy was hit hard by the iron ladder just now, at least 70 people died in the fire, and the light and severe burns were more than 50 people.

In the process of the strong attack, the crossbowmen of the Southern Navy also exceeded the casualties of the first brigade, for the scale of the Southern Navy's dispatch and the final result, this casualty data is actually not tragic, but compared to the beautiful ambush battle at the foot of the Black Wind Mountain last night, the current results are undoubtedly very tragic, and even can be called heavy casualties.

After two rounds of clean-up in the cottage, the horse thieves were also killed and injured, and the uncontrollable fire in the cottage also spread to the surrounding area with the help of the wind, and it was a foregone conclusion that the entire cottage would eventually be completely engulfed by the fire.

The dog and the little plum who led people to clean up the horse thieves have also begun to reassemble their respective teams, counting the number of people and counting the results of the battle, and at the same time, they also began to withdraw towards the outside of the cottage one after another, Ding Li, who has been silent on the wall, was reminded by Xu Hong beside him, and finally just looked at the sea of fire that had been connected into a large area and let out a heavy sigh, and then under the protection of the pro-corps, he took heavy steps down the wall.

After the end of a battle, Ding Li saw from everyone's faces not only the grief and sadness after the loss of the Pao Ze brothers, but also the baptism of this blood and tears to the people standing outside the Black Wind Cottage.

Just from the scene in front of him, Ding Li knew that this battle to exterminate the Black Wind Cottage was not fought in vain, but after this war, the Southern Navy after the baptism of war will quickly transform into a real army, and it is no longer a Southern Navy that is rumored by the outside world and only relies on the favor of Jiedu Mansion to maintain.

However, the only thing that makes everyone feel sorry is that they captured such a large force's cottage, and the final seized booty is almost negligible, even the cattle and sheep and pigs and other livestock that were originally raised in captivity in the Black Wind Cottage almost died in the fire, and the granary where the grain was stored was not even seen by anyone other than the sunspot, except for the burnt smell mixed with the air, not a single grain of grain was seen.

The only trophies that could be regarded as trophies were dozens of horses whose foot strength was not very good, and a bunch of 'broken copper and iron' that could not be compared with the standard equipment of the South China Navy at all. However, if you look into it carefully, the Southern Navy can be regarded as having gained something useful from it, that is, it is completely regarded as a trophy by everyone, including Ding Li, with sleeve arrows and blowpipe arrows.

These two kinds of hidden weapons are really good for ambushing and sneak attacks, but if they are used for large-scale armies, they are almost useless, and the short-distance range is completely unable to meet the needs of large-scale army operations.

The only use is that it can be used for the special combat mission of the elite of the squad, and it can even be used, and it may even be as unexpected and surprising as the scout team of the Black Wind Mountain horse thieves sneak attack and ambush the Southern Navy.

After regrouping the army outside the Black Wind Cottage, Ding Li personally led the crowd to pay a solemn tribute to the soldiers who died in the fire, and recorded everyone's name, and the Southern Navy would then make corresponding compensation.

However, those martyrs who died in the war but their bodies were retained, Ding Li and everyone unanimously said that they would all be brought back to the Southern Navy camp in Giethoorn, and at the same time immediately decided to bury these martyrs near the South Navy camp as a special warning and encouragement to the South Navy.

With the scorching sun rising into the sky, the fire of the Black Wind Cottage is getting more and more vigorous, and there is no tendency to weaken at all, but Ding Li still led the Southern Navy, under the reflection of the sky-rushing fire behind him, under the scorching scorching sun in the sky, slowly walked towards the foot of the Black Wind Mountain, leaving the battlefield behind him that would soon become a scorched earth, far away.

Less than a quarter of an hour after descending the mountain, a member of the Southern Navy stationed at the foot of the mountain was sweating profusely and arrived with a few of his men. The Southern Navy had only exterminated the Black Wind Cottage, the last evil force entrenched in the vicinity of Guangzhou Prefecture, a moment ago, but the person who came brought everyone a piece of news that was enough to change the color of the wind and clouds and make everyone tremble.

Several large armies transferred to the eastern front line of the Lingnan Dongdao Jiedu Mansion were fiercely attacked by the thief army almost in a few days, and they were defeated again and again in just a few days, and this morning, when the morning sun was born, the vanguard army of 40,000 people of the thief army, a murderous lone army, went deep into Guangzhou Prefecture.

And the news that has come at the moment is that the thieves have divided their routes, not only cutting off the main roads leading to Guangzhou Mansion in four prefectures and counties, but also sending 8,000 heavy troops to Fuxu Town has completely cut off the first port of the Tang Dynasty, and outside the east and south cities of Guangzhou Mansion, there are thousands of thieves stationed in the east and south of Guangzhou Mansion, and not long ago, they also carried out a tentative attack on Guangzhou Mansion, although due to the timely mobilization of the defenders of Guangzhou City and the strong counterattack, the thief army retreated in vain, but it was enough to make the entire Guangzhou City up and down the army and people panic for a while.

Moreover, there is more than these in front of Ding Li, the Southern Navy Camp in Giethoorn Town has also become the focus of the thief army, according to the team that came to report the news, more than 30 miles away from the South Navy camp, there is a thief army of 4,000 people has been stationed, and Huo Lang, who stayed in the barracks, sent a messenger to Heifeng Mountain to ask Ding Li about countermeasures.

Although the Southern Navy led by the current leader has gone through a baptism of war, the same war has also exhausted this Southern Navy, which has been reborn from the flames of Phoenix Nirvana, and now it is suddenly facing a strong enemy, whether to take the initiative to face the battle, or to retreat and temporarily protect itself, has become a difficult problem in front of Ding Li and everyone in this Southern Navy.

Towards the end of 878 AD, the rebel vanguard army of the general Huang Chao reached one of the richest coastal towns in the Tang Dynasty.

Southern Navy, is it a war, or a retreat?
