"The one behind catches! Slow down ahead! ”

Tang Hai and his soldiers gathered at the south gate.

This time, in order to be able to defeat the Tang army in one fell swoop, in order to snatch more benefits, Tang Hai left 500 people to guard Hongshan City, and he was ready to rush out of the city gate with the remaining 5,500 people.

There is no food left in Hongshan City now, and if you save food, you should be able to last for three or four days, but in order to boost the morale of the army, Tang Hai took out all the food to reward the soldiers.

If you don't get anything out of this trip, then the rest of the day will be just as miserable as before.

"Get out!"

Tang Hai took the lead in rushing out, and they had to pass through the city gate to the forest as soon as possible, otherwise they would likely be discovered by the sentries of the Tang army.

Only by rushing into the forest and directly scattering the Tang army and Diao Min, can Zheng revitalize the situation behind.

But as soon as they rushed out of the forest, they were discovered by Li Chengzhou, who had just walked to the edge of the forest.

"What are they trying to do? Attacking us? ”

Li Xiaojiang nodded: "It should be, but why are they so messy?" ”

Neither of them could read it, nor could Mamba and Dinka read it.

"Whatever he means, Array! Meet the enemy! ”

The 3,800 soldiers immediately formed four phalanxes in their legions, with crossbowmen in front and infantry in the rear.

The four phalanxes stepped out of the forest in order, and there were still the fortifications in front of them that had fooled Tang Bo and Tang Fu before, and they could even come in handy at this time.

Tang Hai was dumbfounded, why did the Tang Army appear in front of him? Shouldn't they be entangled with refugees at this time? They solved the refugees so quickly? Already freed up for siege?

Tang Hai's head was full of doubts, but his soldiers kept rushing out of the south gate and were arraying in this empty clearing, and the two sides were three hundred meters apart.

At this time, the people who went out of the city were not enough to fight on the other side, but the other side would definitely not let themselves be in such a safe and secure formation. Tang Hai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and didn't know what to do.

If Li Chengzhou could hear the question in his heart, he would definitely explain it well: The conscience of heaven and earth! It's really a coincidence, who could have known that Tang Hai rushed out at this time?

Li Xiaojiang looked at Tang Hai's soldiers, who had already sparsely stood in line in the open space, but less than half of the people came out.

"Your Majesty, I heard General Meng say before that he would attack halfway, and now this situation is just right, why don't we let the crossbowmen shoot, they are in the weakest state at this time, and they will definitely be crushed with one blow!"

"Okay, pass the order! Get ready to shoot! ”

Crossbowmen standing in the front row aim at the enemy.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The crossbow arrows headed towards the enemy, but by this time the enemy army had gathered into a group, and the shield guards protected the soldiers behind them with rudimentary wooden shields.

At a distance of three hundred meters, the power of crossbows and arrows has been attenuated a lot, and the rudimentary wooden shield can prevent most of the attacks, but there is still a loss to shoot into the team, even if it is the end of a strong crossbow, it is not something that flesh and blood can resist.

"Anyway, we have a lot of crossbow arrows, keep shooting!"

The war is not only about the army, but also about material reserves, and the Tang army's reserves are obviously more than those of Tang Hai.

Whether it's food or crossbow arrows, you can go crazy and consume less than the cost.

But it was not good on Tang Hai's side, there were very few archers, and there were so few arrows that they hadn't even rushed out of the city.

"Rushing over under pressure, there are more than 3,000 of them, less than us, as long as we get close, we can defeat them, and their large army will definitely confront those refugees in the depths of the forest!"

Tang Hai left a few commanders, and asked them to rush over to fight the Tang army in a group every 1,000 people gathered, and he rushed over with 2,000 people to fight first, and when the reinforcements behind arrived in a formation that would definitely break the Tang army.

Li Chengzhou looked at the troops rushing over, and even admired their courage a little.

"Have they never had a melee fight with us?"

"Probably not, right? It should be more remote. ”

"Haven't they seen the Iron Armor?"

"Probably not, right? ....”

The distance of three hundred meters is enough for the crossbowman to put three more rounds, and enough for the archer to put six more rounds.

Tang Hai led the soldiers to rush to the Tang army with a rain of arrows, and at this time they had lost more than 500 people.

But Tang Hai was fortunate to be able to rush in front of the Tang army, but as soon as he met the enemy, Tang Hai was a little confused, why the stone spear bone knife attacked the Tang army, and the opposite side did not see any injuries at all, and the opposite side would fall down if he swung the knife and cut it down, and the spear stabbed over was a bloody hole.

Tang Hai had never seen such a formation, and as soon as he met the enemy, he found that something was wrong, but it was not without gain that he led his troops to rush up, and the thousand-man team that rushed up behind received a lot fewer long-range attacks.

The crossbowmen are relatively small in the back row, only the archers in the back row are throwing, but the bows and arrows held by the current archers are only slightly improved bows, and the power is not particularly large, so the losses are within an acceptable range.

Two thousand-strong teams rushed up in a row, and the number of Tang Hai's melee soldiers had already surpassed that of the Tang army.

In Tang Hai's hungry cognition, the side with a large number of people will definitely have an advantage, but now this common sense has been broken, the Tang army is pressing them to fight, and Tang Hai is losing and retreating.

The remaining fifteen hundred people also rushed up, and the soldiers brought out of the city by Tang Hai had all rushed to the front of the Tang army's formation.

The Tang army constantly had a reserve behind to replace the soldiers in front, but Tang Hai's army was in chaos, and the soldiers in front died, and the soldiers behind them would meet the enemy.

Coupled with the crushing of weapons, Tang Hai's army could not do any harm to the Tang army at all, especially the soldiers in iron armor, and the soldiers in leather armor were occasionally injured, but they would soon be replaced.

Tang Hai had already lost nearly a thousand men in close combat, but the Tang army had only a few soldiers in leather armor wounded.

This is not a magnitude opponent at all, and it is only a matter of time before the entire army is annihilated like this, Tang Hai has no intention of fighting again, and is ready to withdraw to Hongshan City with his soldiers.

At this time, voices came from both sides: Shoot the arrows!

Tang Hai looked back, only to find that at some point, Dinka and Mamba went around the sides with archers.

The arrows went towards Tang Hai's army, and the Hu army had no intention of fighting again after a long battle, but now it was stabbed in the back, which was simply the last straw that crushed the camel.

The Hu army turned around and ran, the Tang infantry did not pursue, the crossbowmen came up from behind the Tang army's formation, and shot together with the archers, and the Hu army, which did not do any defense, fell like wheat under the long-range attack.

Tang Hai fled back to Red Mountain City in the rout, and the long-range attack behind him made him shrink his head and flee for his life.

Five thousand five hundred soldiers went out of the city, and only two and a half thousand were left in the city.

Three thousand soldiers rushed out of the city as if they were in the water, and after only one sound, they died outside the city.
