The bandits who attacked the barracks at night never expected that the imperial army would quietly leave the barracks and set up an ambush.

Arrows rained down, and screams were endless. In a hurry, the bandits turned to meet the enemy. However, the elite soldiers of the court hiding in the dark had already received strict orders, and did not rush forward to fight, but kept releasing arrows.

In a short moment, the bandits died on the ground.

I don't know who shouted in a panic: "Run! ”

The bandits were far less trained than the imperial army, and after being defeated, they scattered and fled. In a panic, you pushed me and squeezed, and there were not a few people who were injured by the trampling, and they were all tied hand and foot.

More than a dozen of them were lightly wounded, with long knives around their necks, and the soldiers smirked and forced them to lead the way.

One of them shouted and cursed indiscriminately, and was beheaded with a knife, and blood gushed out.

Cut three in succession, and the next bandits suddenly became honest and were thrown on horseback to lead the way.

Xu Jing replaced the dazzling silver soft armor, wore ordinary armor, and mixed with his own soldiers.

You can't dress too conspicuously on the battlefield, otherwise, you will be a living target. This is the advice given to him by the Marquis of Zhongyong. Xu Jing thought so.

Anyway, the prince's banner was raised. Let everyone know that it was the prince who led the troops to quell the bandits. He, the prince of the North Sea King, doesn't need to be in the limelight.

Ten thousand soldiers galloped on horseback, the earth trembled, and the sound of horses' hooves roared in their ears.

The bandits who fled around the road were killed a lot. rushed all the way to the outside of the Black Mountain Cottage, and the sky was already bright.

The prince of Dingguo deliberately chose a herald with the loudest voice and scolded the bandits in the open space outside the Black Mountain Village.

The army of the imperial court must have the momentum of bandits. Be upright, and should not be afraid.

Zhang Chong, the leader of the Black Mountain Village, stood on the wooden building, looking at the imperial army outside with bright armor and morale, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

He was originally a lieutenant general in the garrison. When the bandits were suppressed, the lord was killed by the bandits, and seeing that there was no way to live, he simply took the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers to join the bandits.

Within a few months, the bandit leader was hacked to death by the imperial army, and he became the leader of the bandits. He robbed two large granaries in nearby counties, recruited tens of thousands of hungry people, and became the largest bandit leader in Jizhou.

The Marquis of Zhongyong led the troops to quell the chaos, he didn't care about the lives of the bandits at all, and he didn't stop using human lives to fill it. He also deliberately ordered his sharpshooters to hide in the dark and release cold arrows, injuring the loyal and brave marquis.

Unexpectedly, the prince would personally lead the troops to quell the bandits.

has been a military general for more than ten years, and the awe of the emperor and the crown prince has long been imprinted in his bones. Even if he was a bandit and had tens of thousands of people under his command, seeing the flag of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fluttering in the air at this time, Zhang Chong was still panicked in his heart.

"Vice General Zhang, what should I do now?" Pro-soldiers used to shout their former titles.

Zhang Chong calmed down, gritted his teeth and said: "Pass my order, give me everything that can be beaten in the village, and I must guard the gate of the village." ”

Half a day later, the corpses outside the gate were all over the place, and the blood flowed like a river.

The prince of Dingguo fought in a very orderly manner, and did not blindly attack. Divide the army into five teams of three thousand men each, and attack in turns. The offensive has been going on. In the end, the bandits have not undergone formal military drills, and they can still hold up in a good fight. Such a fierce attack on the village lasted for half a day, and the bandits couldn't withstand it at all.

Craftsmen in the army are busy erecting building cars.

This building car is a siege weapon. It is two zhang high, and the huge wooden wheel can be pushed to the front of the walled gate, which is higher than the walled gate.

More than 100 soldiers can be accommodated under the building car, these soldiers are the most brave in the army, and there are a few archers, hiding in the building car, using the cover of the tall wooden shield, swishing arrows. These archers are bandits who look like leaders. With a scream, the bandits fell down one by one. The panicked shouts in the Black Mountain Cottage also became more and more turbulent.

Zhang Chong tightened his brows, and immediately shouted: "Call the brothers over, you must resist it." ”

The brothers in Zhang Chong's mouth are the soldiers of the garrison who joined him in the bandits. Originally, there were more than a thousand, but in the past six months, a lot have died, and there are seven or eight hundred people.

These people are the strongest fighters in the bandits' den, and they are also Zhang Chong's real henchmen.

Sure enough, as soon as these hundreds of people rushed forward, they immediately stabilized the rout.

The prince of Dingguo sneered and continued to give orders: "Let the military craftsmen continue to build building cars." ”

The building car is easy to use, and the disadvantages are obvious. It was too cumbersome, so I had to take the parts apart and bring them to the front of the battle array before reassembling them.

Dozens of military craftsmen have to work for an hour to build a building car.

It can be seen that the Iron Guard Battalion is known as the first elite soldier in the Great Jin Dynasty, and it is indeed powerful. The cavalry battalion led by the Marquis of Zhongyong was all cavalry, coming and going like the wind. If you really talk about attacking the city, you have to be an iron guard battalion.

By the time the third car was loaded, it was already afternoon.

The prince of Dingguo has been keeping an eye on the battle situation, and at this time, seeing that there is chaos in the black mountain village, he immediately issued a military order and ordered the last wave of soldiers to step forward.

These 3,000 people are the elite of the elite soldiers, and they have not moved the soldiers, and they have long been enthusiastic. As soon as the Dingguo Gongzi army ordered, 3,000 people quickly rushed forward under the cover of three huge building cars.

The shouts of killing were deafening.

The prince of Dingguo was very satisfied, and subconsciously turned his head to look hundreds of meters behind.

It is where the "Prince" is stationed, and the bright red flag of the Prince is extremely eye-catching.

The army's heart is like a rainbow, the momentum is violent, and the bandits are frightened, this is the effect of "the prince is here".

…… Wait a minute!

What about Xu Jingren?

The prince of Dingguo didn't see Xu Jing's figure, so he chuckled in his heart and immediately sent his own soldiers forward. Before the tea was served, the pro-soldiers ran back and whispered hurriedly: "General, the prince led more than a hundred pro-soldiers, quietly under the building car, and was already close to the gate of the village." ”

Dingguo Gongshizi: "......"

Xu Jing swore before setting off, saying that he would never go into battle without authorization, it was all nonsense.

At such times, it is useless to be angry.

The prince of Dingguo ordered in a low voice: "Take people there immediately, and you must protect the safety of the prince." ”

At this time, Xu Jing had already arrived at the building car.

This building car is a siege weapon carefully developed by the Ministry of Industry of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it is indeed unique. Xu Jing climbed from the bottom to the top, covered his body with a tall wooden shield, and after squatting down, he took off his bow and arrows and drew the bowstring.

This was a birthday gift from his sister on his birthday last year. I have never been reluctant to use it on weekdays, and this time I came to Jizhou to bring it with me.

Today, he used this bow and arrow to kill Zhang Chong.

Xu Jing's eyes were firmly fixed on the figure in the wooden building in the distance.

This Zhang Chong has been hiding in the wooden building, far out of the range of ordinary bows and arrows.

He was born with great strength, and he was able to pull out a five-stone strong bow, and his range could reach two hundred meters.

Xu Jing waited silently for a long time, and finally got a glimpse of the opportunity.

Zhang Chong revealed half of his figure.

Sou!

Sharp arrows!
