Chapter 554: Death and Life 4

The retreat is blocked, what else can be done, but Zhang Xinyi still said: "Okay, I'll go over and apply to take away a battalion's red robe flag." ”

The mountain road is narrow, and it is useless to have more troops, not to mention that it is impossible to defend until all the troops are killed, and by that time, Xiujie's army has already blocked the retreating road and attacked from all sides.

"Okay." Luo Feng couldn't wait to give Zhang Xinyi another battalion of troops, but blocking here was more important, so he could only look at Zhang Xinyi with his eyes and said affectionately: "Promise me, no matter what, you must live." ”

"Don't worry, just Xiujie's broken soldiers, they can't help me." Zhang Xinyi smiled indifferently, and after speaking, he took the red robe flag of a battalion and rushed along the mountain road to the woods.

The way was blocked by the red robe flag in the mountain road, and Xiu Jie was very anxious, not because he was worried about victory or defeat, but because he was worried that Luo Feng would run away.

Seeing the slow attack in front, Xiu Jie squeezed through the crowd, braved the arrows, and reached the front, slashing down with a fierce knife, knocking a red-robed flag soldier out and hitting the soldier behind.

Xiu Jie took a step forward and continued to dance the Blood Giant Blade, slashing at the red-robed flag in front of him.

With Xiu Jie's combat power, the red robe banner couldn't resist it at all, and he was quickly killed by Xiu Jie.

However, the combat power of the Red Robe Banner is higher than that of ordinary troops, even if it is Xiujie's army, it is much higher.

After Xiu Jie fought his way out, the red-robed flags on both sides immediately attacked the army behind Xiu Jie, quickly cutting off Xiu Jie's connection with the army behind him.

Xiu Jie's lone army went deeper, and he killed frantically for a while, and saw that the army behind him still didn't keep up, so he could only kill back, kill the surrounding red-robed flags, and attack forward with the army.

After nearly half a day of fighting, Xiu Jiejun also appeared in another passage. There was Xiu Jie in the passage when he came, Luo Feng didn't dare to go up rashly and fight against Xiu Jie, in case he was killed by Xiu Jie, the army would be completely chaotic.

In this passage on the side, the combat power of the defense was not as high as the red robe flag, and Luo Feng immediately rushed into the mountain road on the side, leading the army to resist the attack of the Xiujie army.

With Luo Feng here, the Xiujie army in the side mountain road couldn't attack it at all, but fell in batches in the mountain road.

After defending for a day, Xiujie's army suffered heavy casualties, with more than 6,000 casualties, while Luo Feng counted the army and found that his army suffered more than 3,000 casualties.

According to such casualties, it is not a big problem to hold on for another six days, and after six days, Ding Xu and Zhang Xuli's army will definitely arrive.

It's just that Xiu Jie won't just attack stupidly here, the entire mountain will be surrounded by Xiu Jie, and when the time comes, there will be enemies on all sides, and he won't be able to resist it at all.

Early the next morning, Xiu Jie began a frantic attack again, and ordered the troops on the periphery to climb the mountain, climb over the peak, and reach the small basin where Luofeng was located.

The peaks of the mountains are not high, the low ones are four or five hundred meters, and the high ones are nearly a thousand meters, but there are no roads on the mountains, and it is difficult to climb up, and it is even more difficult to climb down.

In some places there are paths up the mountain, but these paths are not at all passable by the army, and even if they climb up one by one, it will take a long time, and when they reach the top, they have to find a way down the mountain, or even no way down the mountain at all, so they can only return the same way.

In the small basin, the tactic of crowd was launched, anyway, it was to use people to block the road, use people to open the road, fall a batch, and replace the next batch.

However, Xiu Jie still had an absolute advantage, and after the red robe flags fell one by one, Xiu Jie led the army to advance slowly, and he had reached the mountain pass.

Luo Feng was in the mountain road on the side, and when he heard that another mountain road was about to be broken by Xiujie, he immediately retreated into the basin and saw thousands of people rushing at the mouth of the mountain road, fighting fiercely.

"Newspaper, King." A soldier hurriedly ran over and said: "Mrs. Zhang sent an urgent letter, Xiujie's army was found outside the woods, and the war should have started now, please withdraw the king, otherwise it will be too late, Mrs. also said that she will defend until the last moment, and if she can't see the king, she will definitely not withdraw her troops." ”

When Zhang Xinyi was asked to defend the woods, it was just to better resist the attack of Xiujie's army, and there was also a layer of intention that in case it really couldn't stop Xiujie's army, Zhang Xinyi was in the woods, and it was more convenient to retreat, so he could save his life. I didn't expect this to be the result now.

Luo Feng knew that no matter how much he ordered Zhang Xinyi to protect himself in the first place, it was useless to retreat to the woods instead of defending here.

"The second sword barracks, the third sword barracks, after staying in the mountain road leading to the woods, all the others retreated."

After Luo Feng gave the order, the commander of the 2nd Sword Battalion and the 3rd Sword Battalion immediately led the army to the mouth of the mountain road leading to the woods, opened their horns, and waited for the retreating troops to pass by, and then blocked the mountain road.

Seeing Luo Feng retreating, Xiu Jie immediately ordered a pursuit. When they arrived at the entrance of the mountain road leading to the woods, the Luo Feng army that had been waiting immediately rushed up to resist Xiujie's attack, and when Luo Feng led all the troops into the mountain road, the army that left behind also retreated into the mountain road, choosing the narrowest place to resist Xiujie's army.

At the entrance of the mountain road that meets the woods, Zhang Xinyi led the troops of a red-robed battalion and fought the Xiujie army three times in the woods.

Fortunately, there were pre-deployed archers, and the Xiujie army was caught off guard, otherwise Zhang Xinyi would not be able to hold off the third attack of the Xiujie army.

However, after discovering that there was a Luofeng army in the woods, Xiujie's army kept moving closer to the woods, gathering together, and there were more and more troops, and there was already enough strength of an army, and there were still many troops coming over.

With such a force, it is easy to eliminate Zhang Xinyi's army with only about one battalion left.

However, Xiujie's army did not rush to attack, because the previous attacks were blocked by Zhang Xinyi, although the Luofeng army had few troops, but with Zhang Xinyi, even if there was a crushing advantage in troops, they did not dare to attack rashly.

After many discussions among several banner commanders of the Xiujie Army, it was finally decided that the whole army would launch an attack on the woods.

In the first three defenses, Zhang Xinyi had already consumed a lot of physical strength, and his combat power had dropped a lot.

A red-robed flag chief walked quickly to Zhang Xinyi's side and said, "Madam, the Xiujie army has started to attack again, this time there are a lot of them, and it is estimated that the strength of an army is about one." ”

Zhang Xinyi adjusted his breath, opened his eyes, stood up and said, "No matter how many come, as long as the king doesn't come out, we will fight to the end." ”

"Yes." The flag commander immediately turned and left, running in the direction of the army in front of him.

When they arrived in front of the army, Xiu Jiejun rushed up together.

"Kill." The flag commander wielded a steel spear and led the army out.

The woods are fighting, the vision is blurred, the figures are confused, and the formation has long been gone. The two armies shuttled between the trees and fought chaotically.

The archers lost the advantage of long-range attacks in the woods, but Zhang Xinyi did not have many archers, and in the first few engagements, most of them had been killed and wounded.
