Chapter 334: Capture the Door

Although only more than ten years have passed since the first northern expansion, the south gate of the forbidden water gate seems to have undergone countless years of wind and rain erosion, and has long been decayed and useless.

Under the cover of the rain of arrows, a hundred-man team of the Yongchang Left Army easily smashed open the city gate that could no longer be closed with just a charge after dismounting.

Inside the city gate cave, there are dense iron hats flying in the air.

Most of these iron hats were stained with dark blood and mud, and there was a lot of rust, and once they were shot by a feather arrow, they would break a large hole, and if they were slashed by a steel knife, most of them would be torn apart and fall to the ground.

In contrast, the hundred-man team that attacked the city gate cave all raised swords and shields, and wore fine iron armor, and regarded the collision and cutting of the iron hats as idle, if it were not for the large number of iron hats, I am afraid that they would have been able to seize the city gate long ago.

When Qi Jingzhi led the army to the south gate of the forbidden water gate, he saw such a strange scene.

"The world is so big, there are no surprises, I used to think that the armor left in the rear army of the Yamen in the city is no longer usable, but now it seems that it is wrong, they can fly up to meet the enemy by themselves......"

Qi Jingzhi watched as a soldier of the Yongchang border army was careless for a moment, and a few fingers holding the knife were cut off by an iron hat, and before he could howl miserably, there were already more than a dozen iron hats smelling fishy, picking the weak points of the iron armor and even some places that could not be covered and frantically pounced.

In the splatters of blood, the unlucky man fell to the ground, drowned in the dense iron hat, and struggled twice before not moving.

It's just that the results of the iron hats end here, and it is only a matter of time before they are completely wiped out.

Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but sigh secretly: "It's not just the Hook Chen Courtyard that is well prepared, but the Yongchang border army is also not far behind." ”

At this moment, Wang Tong came on horseback surrounded by hundreds of Dai Xiao's personal guards, and looked up at the legendary Wuwu banner as he walked.

He was beaten by Qi Jingzhi before, and he was suppressed in several fights, and even caused his old mother to pass away completely, and he also got the nickname of "Ghost Head King".

Before he came closer, Wang Tong had already shouted coldly with an unkind face: "Wang crossed the river to seize the city on the order of Shouguang Hou, and the old men of Hook Chen Yuan just stood far away and stared, and naturally you will have a share of credit afterwards!" ”

"If you come up and make trouble, my marquis will send a bullet to the royal capital, even if you are the lord of the country, I am afraid that you can't afford to eat it!"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of the Yongchang Left Army laughed and cheered: "Old man, just sit down, and the hard work of attacking the city will be handed over to us haha!" ”

Qi Jingzhi laughed when he heard this.

As the lord of the country, Gou Chen Yuan was held everywhere in the royal capital, and he was only respected by others, but he was still not powerful in the north, let alone a distant and evil border town like Yongchang.

In the eyes of the proud soldiers and fierce generals of the Yongchang border army, these old soldiers from the royal capital of the Wuwu army are embarrassed and useful.

What's wrong with crossing the river first, isn't it still relying on the cowhide boat prepared by Yongchang Town? After crossing the river, he didn't dare to go deeper, and he didn't even have a decent fight, so he only dared to set fire to the weeds.

Wang Tong suffered a loss under Qi Jingzhi's hands, but at this moment, in front of everyone's eyes, with the support of Shouguang Hou behind him, he naturally refused to weaken a little bit on the scene.

As the commander of the Yongchang Left Army approached, Qi Jingzhi keenly noticed that there was obvious restlessness in the aura of the Suwu Banner and the Bannu.

Well, when they devoured the corpse of their suspected father, they couldn't wait.

Qi Jingzhi patted Bannu's neck and smiled at Wang Tong: "Wang Dutong, your heart should be similar to the evil in the army of the old army's suspicious father, right?" ”

"Qi kindly advised, it's best to restrain your thoughts in front of me, otherwise I'm afraid there will be something unbearable."

It is true that these words are well-intentioned, but they are not good.

Wang Tong immediately became angry and angry: "You dare to threaten Pontus? ”

Before the words fell, there was a sudden commotion in the direction of the city gate.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see that the soldier who had just died in battle stood up suddenly, with long dark gray hair coming out of his body, and his head and face were even more distorted, giving birth to a long nose and a wide mouth and a mouth full of fangs, which at first glance looked like a wild wolf standing up.

The man-wolf jumped high, and instantly pounced on one of his former comrades from behind, knocked off the opponent's iron helmet with a wave of his claws, and opened his mouth to bite it off.

Seeing this, the surrounding armor soldiers immediately gathered around and slashed wildly at the human wolf, slashing the iron armor on the opponent's body in the blink of an eye, and there was a faint sound of bones shattering.

However, at this time, the iron armor that was originally used to save his life became an obstacle, even though the human wolf broke his bones and tendons, he never stopped talking, and actually bit the back of the head of the armor soldier under him, and licked the brain inside.

The poor armor soldier twitched incessantly, and silver-gray animal hair was already pouring out of his body.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding armor soldiers were all horrified, and they slashed wildly at the corpses of the two corpses of their comrades, and saw that the two ghosts were only injured and could not die, so they lost their courage and retreated one after another.

When they crossed the river to fight the demons, they had already pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers, but they didn't expect that even if people died, they would not be able to rest in peace.

As a result, in the face of the iron hat that could be easily shattered and the two almost crippled human wolves, this elite ironclad hundred-man team became constrained, and was actually squeezed out of the city gate hole little by little.

Wang Tong was annoyed when he boarded, and he couldn't care about the signs of parting with Qi Jingzhi anymore, turned his horse's head and ran to the city gate, shouting loudly: "Stabilize the array for Lao Tzu!" Those who dare to retreat again will be killed! ”

"These ghosts are afraid of fire, and the crossbowmen are all rockets!"

Not to mention, Wang Tong is not chaotic in the face of war, and he obviously has a lot of power in the Yongchang Left Army, and he stabilized the army's heart in a few words.

The ironclad hundred-man team that was squeezed out of the city gate made a slight adjustment, forming a strict array like a turtle shell, and easily resisted the counterattack of the iron hats.

In a short time, hundreds of flaming arrows swept through the air, shooting the two man-wolves who had struggled to walk into hedgehogs, lighting torches, and then extending towards the city gate.

In an instant, the offensive and defensive momentum reversed again.

"Enter!"

With Wang Tong's order, the ironclad hundred-man team marched like a wall, and the steel knife was chopped down, and the person was immediately shattered.

Occasionally, someone is cut by the iron hat and even begins to grow hair on their body, and they will immediately be pressed to the ground by their comrades next to them, and even if they do not lose their breath, they will be ruthlessly beheaded.

At the same time, three other hundred-man teams stepped forward in formation and surrounded the battlefield at the gate of the city to prevent iron hats and human wolves from breaking through to the outside of the city.

Seeing that the defeat of these ghost things was only in an instant, and the leading ironclad hundred-man team had once again pushed the array into the city gate cave, Qi Jingzhi pondered: "As Huang Xiaoer said, in terms of combat power on the surface, these aliens entrenched in the southern city of the Forbidden Water Pass are indeed nothing. ”

"If it is in the hinterland of Daqi, their strange methods of turning corpses into wolves may cause chaos, but it is not enough to see the strong army of the border towns that are fighting bravely."

Li Shenxian held the bow in one hand and the reins in the other, turned his horse to the front, and said in a low voice: "My lord, are we really just watching?" ”

"Although the Yongchang border army is shameless, its combat power is really good, and if you want them to fall into trouble, I'm afraid it won't work with these iron hats alone!"

As he spoke, he gently plucked the bowstring as if intentionally or unintentionally: "The last general sees, this city gate is in disrepair, the two heavy door panels are crumbling, especially the iron objects such as the door shaft have not been maintained for a long time, I am afraid that they have long been corroded. ”

"With the ability of the last general, even through the door panel, he can shoot or shatter those important places. Once those two wooden doors fall, they can always kill a few bastards, and they will only be regarded as a merit robbery at most......"

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi glanced at the Bazhou tiger thoughtfully: "You know a lot, and there is more bad water in your stomach...... It's just that in the future, we will do less of such things that harm others and are not beneficial to ourselves, so let's take a look. ”

"Huh? What's so nice about this? ”

Li Shenxian couldn't help but be stunned, but before his words fell, his pupils shrank suddenly.

I saw a large group of people and wolves suddenly appear in the city, some wearing iron armor, some wearing leather armor, and even some wearing ordinary people's clothes and even prison clothes.

They seemed to have been in ambush for a long time, and when the ironclad hundred-man team crowded into the city gate cave and was in a dilemma, they suddenly appeared and rushed into the cave.

These ghost things didn't care about the oncoming arrow rain blades, and after running to help, they jumped up high, jumping straight into the array of armor soldiers, claws and teeth, and ferocity, which immediately caused unprecedented panic and chaos.

In an instant, more and more soldiers in the ironclad hundred-man team were knocked down, and more and more people and wolves got up from the ground.

Wang Tong's eyes were split.

Hardly there was any hesitation, and the left army ordered loudly with red eyes: "Release the arrows!" Shoot your arrows! ”

He galloped wildly, and when he passed a hesitant archer, he slashed his head with lightning and flew his head.

"The longer you delay, the more brothers will be killed! Don't be afraid of accidental injury, our brothers can't die after a few arrows and two burns, but those ghost things are the most afraid of fire, and the armor on their bodies has long been rotten! ”

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot your arrows! ”

The archers in the rear of the Yongchang Left Army woke up like a dream, and one after another rockets were put on the bowstring, and then a large rain of fire swept through the sky, instantly illuminating the slightly gloomy city gate hole.

Wang Tong breathed a sigh of relief, turned his horse's head and ran behind the three hundred-man teams outside the city gate to supervise the battle: "Those who retreat without permission will die!" ”

"For the sake of your own lives, you have given Lao Tzu a round eyeball! But all the long-haired ghosts run out of it, even if it's your own father and brother, they will all be hacked to death by Lao Tzu! ”

"No!" The three hundred-man teams, which were also a little flustered, settled down in an instant.

They couldn't be unstable if they wanted to, just because Wang Tong's 100 filial piety guards had already turned into a military law team, blocking their retreat with horses' hooves and blades.

"What a ruthless heart! What a neat decision! ”

"It seems that as the old lady of the Wang family expected, Wang Tong has abandoned his original hesitation and weighing, and has become decisive......

Qi Jingzhi sighed secretly, and four words suddenly popped up in his heart: "Ci is not in charge of the soldiers!" ”

He heard this word for the first time from the mouth of Ding Chengyuan, Marquis of Anfeng, and now that he saw Wang Tong's repeated actions, he couldn't help but feel a little more touched by it.

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi exhaled and shouted at Wang Tong: "Wang Dutong, do you need my army to help?" You and I are in a wild and foreign land, the soldiers are in danger and the night is long, and there are many dreams, so it is better to fight quickly and make a quick decision. ”

Hearing this, Li Shenxian couldn't help grinning, and for a while he couldn't tell whether his school captain had committed the old mistake of being kind-hearted again, or whether he was deliberately ridiculing and squeezing the "ghost head king".

Wang Tong's face changed sharply, obviously thinking of the latter.

In fact, at this moment, the originally envisioned easy battle for merit has turned into a fierce battle with a lot of casualties, and he is already difficult to ride a tiger.

I only heard that the border soldiers who had just lost their old mother all shouted angrily: "No need! The Yongchang border army is rampant in the north, there is Wang and his brothers, you can bask in the sun next to you! ”

He raised the steel knife in his hand and pointed at the cave in the city gate, which had turned into a sea of fire and the sound of killing was weakening: "How can there be a bad seed under the command of Master Hou?" Yongchang Wang never treats heroes badly! ”

"One more hundred-man team! Don't let the old men who came from the royal capital see the jokes! ”

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi had no choice but to close his mouth.

This is a damned ghost who can't be persuaded by good words.

In fact, until now, even if the battle in the city gate cave has been very tragic, Qi Jingzhi still doesn't think that the aliens entrenched in the south of the city have taken out all their strength and means.

Just this level is really not worthy of Huang Xiaoer's special reminder.

After all, the very shrewd corpse ghost obviously knew the strength of the grass-headed god, and he also witnessed the destruction of the wild dog and the fire that burned the mountain, and he had his own judgment on the strength of Qi Jingzhi and the Wu army, so he also persuaded him not to provoke the rear army to command the yamen, even if the words were unknown, it was by no means untargeted.

So, Qi Jingzhi watched another team of 100 people resolutely move forward, and rushed into the sea of fire and smoke as if he were dead.

But before all the hundred armorers could fill in the hole in the gate of the city that devoured their lives, the two wooden gates that were also burning with flames collapsed, smashing twenty or thirty people underneath, to say the least.

Seeing this, Li Shenxian's face twitched, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to point to his full quiver, and said in front of the young man's gaze: "Adult Mingjian, the last general has not fired an arrow!" ”

Qi Jingzhi glanced at him inexplicably, and his tone suddenly became a little difficult: "My generation is in charge of the life and death of his sons, and it is really necessary to be careless......"

Li Shenxian was stunned for a moment, and then grinned, how hideous that smile looked.

"Look at what the adults said! Since ancient times, it has always been a success, exchanging the lives of oneself and others for wealth, just looking at whether it is a loss or a gain, what is there to be cautious? ”

"When the last general took a hundred Bazhou brothers to serve, he sold his life to adults! The seven brothers of the sandwich team and Tong Jiaohai are all like this, even characters such as Captain Wei, who obey the words of adults, and they are afraid of similar things in their hearts. ”

"Besides, how can you rely on your superiors and comrades on the battlefield? It's really a critical juncture, good men just earn their lives by their own abilities, no one should count on anyone, and no one should blame anyone! ”

The Bazhou tiger paused, suddenly changed his words, and said with a smile: "Of course, if the sons and daughters really think that we are incompetent and tired to death, the soft temperament will naturally scatter and flee for their lives, each looking for a way to survive, and the fierce ones will directly greet us with open knives and hidden arrows, which is a common thing in the army." ”

"They are not fools, they have knives and arrows, hands and feet, where is the need to worry about them!"

Qi Jingzhi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately laughed dumbly.

He knew that Li Shenxian was unruly and said nicely, but he never planned to hang himself on this tree, but he was driven by interests, and the good birds chose trees to perch.

In fact, Li Shenxian was able to say the last words honestly, which already surprised him, and it didn't sound like a warning to himself, but more like a mockery to show intimacy.

This is a welcome change.

So, Qi Jingzhi reciprocated the favor and smiled at the other party: "If one day you Li Shenxian want to suddenly cast a cold arrow on Qi's back, don't use the general's feather arrow, otherwise I'm afraid you will die a miserable death!" ”

Seeing that his own lieutenant suddenly smiled at himself, Li Shenxian subconsciously felt a tightness in his heart, and then reacted: "It seems to be ...... The captain just made a joke with himself? It's a fucking funny joke! ”

Thinking of this, Li Shenxian hurriedly grinned and laughed a few times, so as not to make a bad face for the captain who rarely joked.

"How can it! My old Li is not a person who will take revenge! ”

Qi Jingzhi waved his hand at him and turned his head to look in the direction of the city gate.

After filling in two hundred-man teams one after another, even if all of them were not killed, the casualties were still extremely heavy, and the south gate of the forbidden water gate finally changed hands.

After a bloody battle, the people and wolves were all ambushed, even if the iron hat could fly, it couldn't escape a few, and it could no longer stop the left army of Yongchang.

In the earth-shattering cheers, Wang Tong just hurriedly glanced back at Qi Jing, leaving a triumphant smile, and then rode into the city surrounded by his own soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers of the Yongchang Left Army followed closely and poured into it like a tide.

As the so-called strong man is in the army, he is the first to attack the city, trap the enemy, cut the general and hold the flag, and the person who is in front of the arrow stone and does not avoid the difficulty of the soup and fire, is also a heavy reward.

Great Qi military exploits, the first priority.

Although Wang Tong's Yongchang Left Army did not experience the most tragic ant-attached siege to the city, Yashi Tanghuo had tasted it all over again, and he also took this great achievement of seizing the gate and entering the city first.

"Phew! The villain has a will! With so many people dead, what's there to be proud of? ”

Li Shenxian was a little unwilling: "My lord, what should we do now?" ”

Qi Jingzhi looked at Wang Tong's satisfied back, shook his head and chuckled: "Look at ...... again"
