Although Wang Rong was mentally prepared for this night battle, he was still very heartbroken when he heard the battle damage reported by Wumo. These township soldiers are the strength of his western governor's mansion based on Shuofang County, and the sacrifice of each township soldier is the loss of the governor's mansion.

Now in the entire fortress, there are only 3,000 people left who can fight with sharp blades, and this is still counting those who are not seriously injured and can fight.

"Captain, if the bearded man and dog jump off the wall in a hurry, our troops may not be able to stop them." Meng Song thought for a while and stepped forward to suggest.

"It's still possible, it's just not stoppable." Shao Hongxuan said with annoyance.

Indeed, although the chicken is guarding the main road from the grassland to Shuofang, it is not like Jianmen Pass or Dongkun Pass, which is isolated from inside and outside.

However, Wang Rong has his own way, in order to be able to isolate the inside and outside, Wang Rong established a horizontal wall in the middle of the canyon, two zhang high, the wall base is one zhang thick, the head of the wall has a five-foot model, can stand people, open three wall gates, the horizontal wall is garrisoned by five hundred villagers, and there is a channel to communicate with the city.

After pondering, Wu Mo said to Wang Rong: "Captain, I don't worry about the city now, but the horizontal wall is too thin. ”

Wang Rong nodded, now the defenders of the horizontal wall are the five hundred township soldiers brought by Wumo at the beginning, and the training time is long and the combat effectiveness is relatively strong. But it is only stronger, and there is no way to be a decisive force.

Wang Rong directly clapped the board and said: "Hong Xuan, you take the Linhe city and city soldiers to follow me and go to the horizontal wall." Wumo, I've handed over the city to you. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Wumo to object, he took Wang Hao down the city wall, and the personal guards were all taken away by Wang Rong, and at the same time, there was also fire oil to be taken away.

"Hong Xuan, take your team to fetch a thousand clay pots of fire oil." Wang Rong instructed Shao Hongxuan that Lao Shao's team had already taken the oil once, and it was raw and cooked once, so let them go to get the oil again.

After instructing Shao Hongxuan, Wang Rong then said to Wang Hao: "You go to the wounded barracks and gather all the guards. In the wounded barracks, the lightly wounded were allowed to take care of the seriously wounded, and half of the medicine was left in the wounded barracks. ”

Wang Hao bowed his hand and said, "Oh! ”

After waiting for half an hour, Wang Rong and the assembled more than 400 people came out of the connected channel, and the horizontal walls were lying in the canyon, and the three city gates had been blocked by the Saimen knife carts.

As a reserve force, the five hundred township soldiers have not participated in the battle, and the leader of this township soldier is Song Wenbai, the fifth Shishi chief of the second team of Wo Yedu, with the same name, the appearance of being in his thirties, his temperament is closer to that of a scholar, and his figure is thin, but the momentum in his eyes is very obvious.

Song Wenbai saw Wang Rong coming to the horizontal wall, and was puzzled, the horizontal wall was much further back than the chicken presupture, and it was more than nine miles away from the camp of the Qiang. The Bearded Man did not attack the horizontal wall at all, so the horizontal wall has been stable, and Song Wenbai didn't know why Wang Rong came in person.

"Old Song, you help to place all the oil." Wang Rong saw Song Wenbai and commanded.

Song Wenbai bowed and said, "Wow! ”

Five hundred township soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to help the Linhe township soldiers place fire oil together. Wang Rong ascended the head of the horizontal wall from the horse road, Song Wenbai, Shao Hongxuan and Wang Mao accompanied aside, the horizontal wall of two zhang high, the head of the wall is set up with the city wall in general, there are battlements and female walls.

Wang Rong said to Song Wenbai: "Old Song, this time I came with the township soldiers and personal guards of the Second Regiment of Linhe City, just to prevent the bearded people and dogs from jumping off the wall in a hurry. ”

Song Wenbai listened, and was confused for a while, how could the Bearded Man and at least 20,000 troops get to the point where the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry? Shouldn't the dog jump over the wall in a hurry be on his side?

Seeing Song Wenbai's puzzled look, with Wang Rong's permission, Wang Mao explained to him: "General Zhengbei has arrived at the Wolf Mountain Pass with the first division of the Zhengbei Army, and he will launch an attack today. When the time comes, the entire Chicken Horse will be a battlefield to the Wolf Mountain Pass. If the right general of the Bearded Man goes crazy, there is a good chance that he will hit the horizontal wall. ”

After listening to Wang Mao's explanation, Song Wenbai suddenly realized that the soldiers of the Western Governor's Mansion were blocked in the chicken, and the Northern Army was blocked in the Wolf Mountain Pass, and this army of the Devil's Beard directly became the turtle in the urn. In order to survive, the bearded man went crazy, but even he was afraid.

After Wang Rong arrived at the horizontal wall, the entire horizontal wall began to prepare for battle, and the guards gathered at the central gate, and their task was to serve as the backbone, where there was a crisis, they would go to support.

When the sky was bright, the whole canyon sounded the sound of war drums, the sound was very ethereal, although the distance was far away, but the echo in the canyon was still very shocking.

Hearing the sound of war drums, Wang Rong knew that the general of Zhengbei had launched an attack on the Qiangmen. The shouting and killing sound from nine miles away can be heard on this side of the horizontal wall.

The Bearded Man did not let Wang Rong wait too long, and only half an hour after the sound of the drums, the canyon in front of the horizontal wall was already full of smoke and dust, which was brought up by a large number of men and horses. Wang Rong stood on the wall, looked at the approaching smoke and dust, raised the wooden whistle on his chest and put it in his mouth and blew it.

"Whew! ——”

The 1,000 village soldiers were divided into two groups, one standing at the head of the city and the other under the city walls. The village soldiers at the head of the city squatted behind the battlements with swords and shields, while the village soldiers under the city wall drew their bows and arrows.

The wooden whistle in Wang Rong's mouth blew according to the distance approached by the mane, and when the man entered the side wall a hundred meters, Wang Rong blew a wooden whistle.

The five hundred villagers under the city wall shot arrows in their hands, and five hundred arrows fell into the smoke and dust, bringing up a looming blood mist. The bearded man in the front row galloped his war horse, and he had no intention of slowing down.

Wang Wei frowned and looked at the horsemen who rushed towards the wall, and the appearance of these horsemen who were not afraid of death surprised him in his heart. How hard did this general beat them to let them run away like this?

Under the surprised gaze of Wang Rong and the township soldiers at the head of the city, the war horses rushed straight towards the horizontal wall.

"Boom!" "Boom! Boom! "Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The continuous sound of impact resounded in Wang Rong's ears, and at the same time, it was accompanied by the obvious vibration of the city wall, and the red and white brains of the war horse were smeared on the city wall, and a large amount of blood was sprayed on the ground and walls.

As the carcasses of the horses lay under the city walls, a slope was gradually formed that led to the top of the city. The horse-bearded cavalry that followed them began to charge down the slope towards the city.

Wang Rong picked up a spear and stabbed it forward, and the force was so great that it directly pierced the neck of a horse in the head, and Wang Rong followed the force to put down the war horse. The horse-mounted horseman jumped off his horse, rolled twice, and after unloading the momentum, he had just drawn the scimitar at his waist and stood up, when he saw several spears stabbing at his swift speed, and the sharp blades pierced through his leather robe and pierced into his body.

In this way, the five hundred villagers inserted their sabers into their waists and their shields on their backs, then picked up their spears and transformed into spearmen, and slammed at the rushing horsemen.

The village soldiers below the city wall also began to climb on both sides of the city wall. At such a critical moment, the Bearded people did not have time to create a second ramp, and the villagers standing at the head of the city shot down from the high place with arrows and crossbows, causing a cry of sorrow under the city wall, and many men and horses fell to the ground and rolled over, and fell directly to the ground.

The five hundred township archers immediately drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the ramp leading to the city, and the arrows broke through the air continuously, and the arrows fell in the crowd galloping on the ramps. The horses kept falling, causing a lag effect on the horse-bearded cavalry who wanted to pass behind.

Wang Hao and his guards all climbed the city wall, they were dressed in three layers of armor, their faces were covered with iron, and they were armed with swords and shields.

On the city wall, the situation of Wang Rong's side alone did not last long, outside the city wall, a team of horsemen and horsemen galloped away, they had already placed the riding bow in the side pocket of the saddle in their hands, and the arrows hanging in the saddle were also drawn out one by one, and then the bowstring sounded, the arrows flew, and the first wave of arrow rain was ushered in on the city, because the battle was really fierce, the unsuspecting village archers were hit by arrows one after another, and there was a burst of blood mist in the air, and some fell from the city with a miserable howl.

Under the cover of archery and horse archery, the horseless cavalry who were desperately trying to rush into the horizontal wall began to wield their spears, and the spear-wielding villagers also began to be damaged. The sharp riding spears and infantry spears pierced the soldiers with big shoulders and round waists on both sides.

The spear in Wang Rong's hand had been replaced three times, and when the third spear was broken, his shoulders and waist were slammed by two spear blades one after another. Wang Rong didn't have time to pick up the new spear, and with a dip of his right hand to his left waist, he pulled out the "ten thousand enemies", swept it from the bottom up, and divided the blade and shaft of the spear inserted in him. A third spear slammed into his throat, and Wang Rong's knife quickly slashed out diagonally, removing the sharp blade from the shaft. The blade of the spear was inserted diagonally downward into the gap in the floor wall tiles.

When Wang Rong was basking in blood on the horizontal wall, the chickens also began to cast crossbow arrows at the passing horsemen, but the fleeing horsemen were too fast, and they did not gain much.

Wu Mo looked at the battle on the horizontal wall from afar, and immediately became anxious, and he said to Li Shuo urgently: "Quick, you quickly set off with people, cross the channel to support the horizontal wall, you must be fast, just take the Linrong Township soldiers and the Lu Xuan army, and I will leave five hundred and wounded soldiers here." ”

Li Shuo did not shirk either, and hurriedly led 1,500 people to support the horizontal wall. Armed with crossbows, swords at their waists, shields, and armor, they moved quickly and lightly through the channel.

The cavalry rushed down, and the cost of casualties was really not small, but they were unable to break through the barrier of the horizontal wall. Wu Mo stood at the head of the city and watched anxiously at the battle on the horizontal wall, and then heard an exclamation from the guards beside him. He immediately turned his head, only to see a wave of troops rushing out of the direction of the camp, the tall handsome flag was a big "Mongolian" character, next to it was the military flag of the Northern Army, an eagle with wings spreading, and then a dense array of military flags of various colors.

The cavalry of the Northern Army went on a rampage, trampling the wounded soldiers and horses that were wounded and fell to the ground under the hooves of the horses, and passed through the canyon of Jiulidi at great speed. Then he rushed into the crowd of mustaches blocking the horizontal wall, setting off a bloody storm.

The first member rode a horse and took the lead, and rushed to kill. He was wearing three layers of armor, a black iron armour, a four-meter-long riding spear in his hand, and an exceptionally tall and majestic war horse under his crotch, making his whole person look like a black iron statue, which was intimidating.

The thick spear was swung by him, and after a few swings, he swept away a large area of the bearded men patrolling under the horizontal wall. Then he urged the horsemen to stand up, and the two bowl-sized iron hooves kicked straight over, and with a bang, the two horsemen and the horses were kicked out.
