It's February, and the cold inside and outside the wall is gradually disappearing, and the weather is already getting warmer.

can be slaughtered for several days in a row, the bloody rain and bloody wind envelop the battlefield here, the flag covers the sun, and the chill returns again.

With the beating of war drums, the boundless military formation of the Dingxi Army kept changing, and finally a prescription formation in the core position of the Chinese army was neatly opened.

This phalanx was small in number, just over 2,000 people, and they were surrounded by many armies, and each of them had the pride of an elite army on their faces.

However, whether it is in the Dingxi Army or in Zhou Yuan's vision, this army does have arrogant capital.

The battle flag flutters in the wind, and there is a huge Lu character embroidered with gold thread on it, and the flag around it is full of tiger shapes.

This is one of the trump cards that Lu Ding relied on to play the three counties of Dingxi, the Tiger Guards in the Tiger and Leopard Army.

Armoured and executed, the murderous spirit was full of wilderness, and a strong army rose to the sky.

Originally, although the siege was frequent and tragic, there were not many soldiers who could be in an engagement position each time.

This also led to the fact that although the military spirit was heavy, it was a little scattered, and there was no intimidating vision.

But now, as soon as the Tiger Guard Army came out, the military spirit of the Dingxi Army was as if it had found the core, quickly condensed and formed, and finally turned into a vicious tiger army, threatening the guards of Guancheng.

Thanks to Xuan Yiwei's intelligence, Zhou Yuan has a certain understanding of the Haw Par army, and his most famous battle is to break the 10,000 soldiers of Daxu and win a complete victory.

Combined with its daily combat performance, it has won all battles, and it is common to win more with less, and such a strong army is also the elite of the elite when looking at the world.

According to the grapevine, Zhou Bai was named the general of the demon army, formed the demon army, and shined, and then the tiger and leopard army was the target of the demon army.

Zhou Boli'an Northern Governor's Mansion, the whole county Buwu, and Lu Ding also followed.

Even if he didn't have the innate skills passed down by Wu Qi Immortal, with the background of the family, he also got a number of mortal masters.

Finally, after testing and screening, it was decided to be inclusive, and learn both internal and external skills simultaneously, so as to catch up with the divine effect of innate power with a solid foundation.

Coupled with the support of the pills and spiritual food provided by the largest sect in Dingzhou, the Houtu Sect, the Dingxi Army has really trained several martial armies.

Especially the Tiger and Leopard Army, even if it is not as good as the Demon Army, it also has the ability to crush ordinary strong troops.

The overwhelming burning sensation of qi and blood, as well as the evil tiger army in the sky, Zhou Yuan, as an innate realm, keenly judged the basic strength of this tiger guard army.

In this 2,000-strong Tiger Guard Army, all of them have been forged, and most of them have been forged, and all the grassroots officers who carry the flag have true qi in their bodies.

Staring at him, there were five piercing essences staring at him, were they five innate realms?

This kind of strength is enough to compete with the Anbei Forbidden Army locally, and even overpower.

But there are only a few people in the tiger and leopard army that you Lu Ding supports, and now there are more than 5,000 people in two guards at most, plus the rest of the elite soldiers of the Chinese army, the total will not exceed 10,000.

On the other hand, in his hands, there are 20,000 people in the Youyi Army and the White Army, and they haven't moved much in the past few days, just waiting for you to be impatient.

After Huo Feiguang was ordered to go down to the city to make preparations, Zhou Yuan immediately ordered again: "Order the white army to take over the defense of the city in an orderly manner, the garrison army to retreat to the second line, and order the guerrilla army to be ready to cooperate with the cavalry to attack at any time." ”

Since the start of the war, he has fought so anxiously that he almost turned the door sentence into a flesh and blood grinding plate, just because Zhou Yuan did not fully call the forbidden army.

Most of the defensive operations were targeted by the garrison, and even so, the Dingxi Army was broken and bleeding here, and the battalion flags of more than a dozen battalion heads no longer appeared.

"The casualties in the past few days have made you feel that the pressure on our Western Front is a little too great......," Zhou Yuan licked his shriveled lips and muttered as he looked at the menacing Tiger Guards.

As the secretary of the military department, he led the army to block the west country alone, and was ordered to act cheaply, but he wanted more than just to defend.

hurt Lu Ding, cut his prestige, and dispelled his idea of interfering with the battlefield on the Eastern Front.

The victory on the Western Front, he is going to be decided!

Woo~

Under the sound of the desolate horn, the ladders, the tower carts, catapults, battering rams and other siege equipment were pushed up in unison.

When the roaring stone projectiles began to be projected, the two battalions of ordinary Dingxi sergeants held their shields and began to advance towards the city of Menjuguan.

They did nothing but attract the firepower of the city and minimize the casualties of the Tiger Guards.

When the overwhelming dense rain of arrows caused huge damage to these ordinary soldiers, the Tiger Guards did not move, but just watched silently.

Half an hour later, just a few hundred meters away, when the corpses of ordinary soldiers were strewn with them, they still didn't move.

It wasn't until the Dingxi army paid a huge price that the ladders were put up on the door, and four or five tall building carts were pushed to the edge of the city, which could suppress the archers at the head of the city, that the Tiger Guard finally moved.

These cold and strong warriors, according to the straggler formation, agitated the qi and blood in their bodies, and rushed towards the city at full speed.

Thanks to the sacrifices of countless ordinary soldiers in front of them, as well as the extreme speed of the Tiger Guards themselves, this can be called the path of death, and the hundreds of meters did not kill too many soldiers.

They either climbed up the ladder, or were thrown by the powerful and powerful, and even some innate generals led people directly to the city with their bare hands.

After several days of crossbow arrows and stone-throwing bombardment, the originally smooth wall has become potholes, and it is not a problem for martial artists who are good at light skills to climb with their bare hands.

This method of warfare first appeared in Dingzhou in the first battle of the Anbei Army's attack on Ruinan, when Jiao Tu led 500 soldiers to attack Shuiyang City at night, which was the method of climbing with his bare hands.

This kind of siege method cannot be done by the soldiers of Xi Wu, but now it has been copied by the Tiger Guard.

In the camp of the Dingxi Army, a high platform of several zhang stands quietly, on which stands Dingxi Bo Lu Ding and the accompanying senior officials, and the surrounding area is full of heavily guarded guards.

The soldiers of the Tiger Guard in the distance ascended the city at an extremely fast speed, and an endless stream of rolling logs, stones, arrow rain, and gold juice could not stop them.

When the flag of the Tiger Guard Army stood at the head of the city, nearly 100,000 soldiers cheered and shouted might!

"Look, the Miao military envoy has already led his own soldiers to the first place, and the victory is in hand!"

"Congratulations, it took seven days, and I finally entered the customs!" There is a general with excellent eyesight, who can't hold back his reckless and frizzy temperament, and is already congratulating Lu Ding in advance.

The reason why the first to ascend is called one of the greatest feats is because in the historical city attack and defense wars, the city can be climbed first, which often means that the defenders are at the end of the road.

There are few soldiers on the defending side of the city who can rise up and turn the situation around.

Moreover, the generals on the high platform also have many martial arts practices and their realm is not low, so they naturally know how much destructive power a congenital leader can cause more than ten days after tomorrow.

"I have figured out their foundation in the past few days, and it seems that the monarch of Anbei has conquered the country in the south, and there is indeed no extra military force to be assigned." The cautious civil strategist also said.

Lu Ding naturally understood this truth, he was happy in his heart, and his face was still unshocked, so he pretended to calmly throw the clairvoyant mirror in his hand to Wenchen on the side.

"The Qianli Realm produced in Anbei is a good thing, clean up the battlefield later, remember to collect, and the strategists in the army must be matched."

Seeing that Lu Ding was so calm, with the appearance of the temple in his heart, all the civil and military officers became more and more in awe.

"Catapults are bombarding the city, don't ...... at the head of the city" The deputy marshal in charge of military affairs did not forget to add details at this time.

However, before the flag order of the commanders on the high platform was completed, a rapid whistling sound sounded in the direction of Guancheng.

Is it the catapult of the Anbei Army that is exerting force?

Bang, bang......

With the stone bullet landing, the catapult phalanx on the front line of the Dingxi Army was devastated, and the building cart that was originally level with the city head was also smashed to the ground.

No, what kind of stone bullet is this, and the power is so great.

"Your Majesty, this is the top secret of Anbei, the counterweight trebuchet, it was useless before, I thought it was all brought to Longfeng."

"Rest assured, now that the Tiger Guards are fully occupying the city walls, this counterattack is too late." Dingxi really attaches great importance to the rising Anbei, and soon a general will report relevant information.

It's just that his subordinates know their opponents, which makes Lu Ding more and more uneasy, and a bad premonition comes to mind.

In the dark, the military fortune of the Dingxi Army plummeted, and it showed an irreversible trend.

"Your Majesty, the battle situation has changed, please prepare quickly!" At this time, in a hidden tent somewhere in the Chinese army, a Peiyin Taoist officer came out and warned loudly.

It's a pity that it's all late, the two armies are fighting flesh and blood, the military qi of the two sides is facing each other, and the monks who are in a state of suppression are not able to detect the luck change in time.

The Evil Tiger Army, which was originally above the Gate Pass, suddenly stopped suppressing the defenders, and after a wail, he took dozens of steps back, as if he had been attacked by something.

Lu Ding's face turned pale, and he no longer had the previous calmness, he saw the condensed military demon that appeared within the wall: "Pixiu? ”

"Anbei has a forbidden army here, and judging by its degree of solidity, it is obviously not a small army of one or two thousand."

"Quick, Mingjin withdraws the troops, and urgently orders the whole army to ......"

The hasty military order was still being issued, and the gate that was being hit by the battering ram was suddenly opened, and in the face of such an offensive, the Anbei army never blocked it.

Inside, a young general in red armor rode out on a horse, and a row of soldiers pushing the battering ram was picked up by a single horse, and the sound of horses' hooves that shook the earth sounded.

Didn't even bring five hundred Jiaoqi with you? Isn't Zhou Bai here?

At this time, the Tiger Guard flag at the head of the city had quietly disappeared, and those soldiers who bravely climbed up to the Tiger Guard Army were facing a siege of soldiers who were several times more numerous than them.

A brave man died, and even the envoy of the Innate Realm Tiger Guard, General Miao was covered in blood, and his body was full of fatal wounds.

He looked frightened and fought back desperately, and the elite guards around him fell one by one, as did several other innate people not far away, powerless about the situation.

Just because, there are more than double digits of innate people who besiege them, which is an enemy they have never thought of.

"We have been trained by the Thick Earth Immortal Sect, and there has never been a shortage of spiritual rice, demon meat, and medicinal baths, and with the recent great luck, we have such a realm."

"You Anbei...... How early is Buvu......

"The Tiger Guards obey the order, withdraw!"

The meridians were broken, and the innate true qi of the whole body poured out, and the military envoy surnamed Miao fought desperately.

"General!"

"Let's go!"

He didn't retreat by himself, but ran to rescue the other subordinates who were besieged, he was already a mad demon, even the innate people of the Anbei Forbidden Army could only temporarily avoid the edge.

Seeing that the two congenital captains withdrew with a part of the Tiger Guard soldiers to keep the ladder, the main general of the Tiger Guard finally raised his head and fell off the city wall.

It's just that at the last moment of his life, he saw an even more desperate scene, the retreating soldiers had been surrounded by countless Anbei forbidden troops who rushed out.

In addition to the heavily armored Jiaoqi, there are also 10,000 or 20,000 forbidden soldiers?

The tiger and leopard are pro-army, and the tiger army is gone......

In the continuous army formation of the Dingxi Army, the horn sounded again, this time in addition to the desolate and majestic, it was a little more urgent.

A herald with the rank of military soldier penetrates the military formations of all sides, conveying urgent military orders.

Several congenital generals of the Chinese army, who couldn't see it, even shouted with their innate true qi, and their bodies shook the sky.

It's just that the military order shouted is not majestic.

"Defend the formation, meet the onslaught!"

"Shanzi Battalion, Fengzi Battalion, the soldiers of the two armies will go forward to prevent the Anbei Forbidden Army from entering!"

The Exotic Recruit has just returned from a victory, and even if it suffers a sudden setback, its morale will not plummet to the bottom.

Most of the Dingxi soldiers still had the confidence of victory, believing that as long as they obeyed the command, they would definitely win.

The formation of the horizontal column and even the offensive quickly changed to a defensive formation, and the soldiers around the high platform were instantly reduced by half, driving directly to the front army.

"It's too late, if we put the soldiers in the front army earlier, even if there are 20,000 Anbei forbidden troops, we will not be able to break through the front army's defense line, and our troops will always be superior." The deputy marshal looked flustered, and while mobilizing the rear army of the Chinese army to form a dense defensive line, he expressed his judgment to Lu Ding.

Lu Ding was born in a Dingzhou family, and he is a hidden dragon in Tianding, and he is the pinnacle of Dingzhou's outstanding people in all aspects, so how can he not see that a fiasco is imminent at this time.

Before the gate was closed, the place was so big that the 100,000 Dingxi army could not all go up at all.

Huo Feiguang led five hundred heavily armored Jiao riders, like bulldozing beasts, breaking through layers of defense lines until the momentum was exhausted.

Before the Dingxi cavalry surrounded them and tried to encircle them, they fought from the flank, and they didn't think about killing a few more people at all.

Since the defense line has been chiseled, there will be two armies in the follow-up.

Seeing rows of former sergeants and soldiers being killed like grass by the Anbei Forbidden Army, Lu Ding's heart was dripping blood.

The people who followed him on the Northern Expedition this time were all elites, not military pawns, but also military reserves, and they would all be cultivated in the future.

General Lu Ding summoned with the military Taoist officer and asked in a low voice, "The Houtu Sect has not broken through so far?" If we could have found out the situation of the Anbei army earlier, how could we have suffered today's fiasco?! ”

The Taoist official did not answer at first, but looked up to the west, where the monks of the Houtu Sect and the Taoist group of the Anbei Army were fighting.

A moment later, a flying sword crossed the battlefield, the speed was extremely fast at first, and after being suppressed by the military qi, it became shaky, but fortunately, there was a military officer who answered it.

"Back to the monarch, the Houtu Sect responded, the enemy Taoist group is strong, and there are three real people to block the luck."

"In the past few days, the Houtu Sect has killed thirteen people in the first realm and five in the second realm."

The monk battlefield can't be counted on, Lu Ding sighed: "That's it, they all go to stabilize the overall situation, if the enemy dares to rush too deep, at all costs, they will gnaw down." ”

It's just that this battle will end up being a fiasco, and it will be difficult to make progress on the Western Front.
