Qi country.

Xijing.

A few miles outside the city of Xijing, on a steep Gobi desert, thousands of bandits are waiting for you.

Banner hunting, the blazing wind swept the yellow sand and gravel in the face. The big boss rode a fat war horse, standing at the forefront of the scorching bandits, overlooking the Xijing City under the beachhead. Far away in the middle of the city, he squinted his eyes and looked at the towering Xihe Tower, standing quietly, as if there was no quarrel with the world.

The bandits behind him wore scarlet turbans, their faces tanned, and their faces all bearing the marks of years of burning. All kinds of long contradictory cards were polished and shiny, and they were baked by the scorching sun, shining with cold light.

They waited quietly with solemn faces. At the gate of Xijing City, hundreds of heavily armed Qi Janissaries were guarding to the death, they all changed into heavy iron armor, put on sturdy helmets, and built a large scale of fortifications at the city gate.

The big boss frowned, looked down with a solemn face, and the war horse under his crotch also felt the tense atmosphere around him, and snorted uneasily.

The bandits had been waiting for a long time on the beachhead, the sun was already hanging high overhead, and people were sweating from the sun.

After a while, Nilto rode his horse and slowly came to his side from behind.

When the big boss heard the movement, he turned around and said softly, "Chief, how is it?"

Nierto also glanced at the defense line of the Qi army and said, "Grandma has been picked up from Chengli, and the people who can withdraw have already been brought over, but there are still many clansmen living in Xijing City." I'm afraid that the Central Plains are about to start searching there, and they may kill all of our people. ”

The big boss sighed, and the hot yellow sand floated across his mottled face.

"The second is in charge...... How did he die?" Nilto looked at him and asked, "We're going to avenge him." ”

The big boss shook his head, narrowed his eyes, and said, "It wasn't the soldier who killed him, he robbed the road and encountered hard stubble." That girl, we're looking for her too. No matter how much it is, let's find a way to attack the city first. ”

Seeing his attitude, Nierto couldn't say anything more, so he set his eyes on the gate of Xijing City under the beachhead.

"After waiting for so long, we have died so many brothers, why hasn't the large army of the Central Plains people come yet?" Nierto said in a dull voice, "These people are just the emperor's Praetorian Guard, I'm afraid, there is fraud in this." ”

After hearing this, the big boss pondered for a while and asked, "Then what do you say?"

"The old way, divided into two ways. Nierto said, "At the same time, attack the city gates, looking for an opportunity to break through." ”

The big boss reined in his horse and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”

Fighter planes are precious, and they cannot be delayed.

The scorching midday sun was shining over the Qi soldiers, and a deafening horn sounded at the beachhead.

A lieutenant with heavy iron armor on his head hurriedly looked at the beachhead, and the dazzling sun shook his eyes.

"The people from the Western Regions are here, get ready!"

The lieutenant shouted loudly, and the dozens of soldiers behind him hurriedly tensed. Within moments, a dozen crossbowmen were dragging the huge wooden fence to a clearing not far from the city gates. The crossbowmen quickly stretched out, prepared their quivers, and lay down on the wooden fence in unison, drawing their bows and arrows, and in one go, the arrows pointing in the direction of the beachhead.

From a distance, a cloud of smoke and dust rose on the Gobi Plateau that intersected with the skyline. The crossbowmen watched cautiously, and could faintly discern the immense force of the bandits.

The Qi army's defensive line was ready, the commanders in charge of the command hurriedly shuttled through the various points, all the Janissaries were like facing the enemy, and the encounter in the city a few days ago made them understand that this rebellion was not just a simple rebellion, but a complete organized rebellion. The Qi army also suffered a lot of casualties in the confrontation with the Western Regions, although it was not easy to suppress the unarmed Western Regions in terms of troops and armaments, but it also allowed them to learn some big lessons, so now no one in the Praetorian Guard dares to underestimate the enemy.

Bang Bang Bang!

Heavy iron shields were inserted into the yellow earth, followed by heavily armored soldiers in full armor, a whole line of iron-clad lines blocked the gates, and behind them were well-trained infantry with spears in hand, who were ready for battle.

The striker of the scorching bandits slaughtered mightily, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the smoke and dust were great. The crossbowmen could already see their faces.

"Put!"

The commander behind him ordered, and the feathered arrows flew out of the string in unison, and in the blue sky, a wide iron net composed of sword arrays slowly unfolded, covering the scorching bandits who were rushing wildly.

The sound of feather arrows piercing the body came one after another, and the screams were endless. One after another, the bandits were shot off their horses and fell to the ground.

"Put!"

Soon, the second wave of feathered arrows flew into the air again, leaving no respite at all.

The arrow net covered the entire formation of the bandits, and the bandits without any protective measures fell one after another like targets for activity.

However, the bandits did not flinch, and still fearlessly charged forward in the face of the offensive. Soon, another wave of scorching bandits rushed past the corpses of their companions, raised the knives in their hands, and killed the Qi army.

"Put!"

Du Wei had a gloomy face and looked coldly at the scorching bandits in the distance. He secretly estimated in his heart that no matter how much they charged, they would not be able to break through the defense line composed of bows and crossbows, and would only be sent to death needlessly.

Just as he was concentrating on his analysis, suddenly, on the other side of him, there was also a shout of killing.

The lieutenant looked nervously, and what he didn't expect was that another large wave of bandits bypassed the uneven hills, and took advantage of the obstacles to go around the flanks of their defensive lines, dodging the range of the crossbowmen, and heading straight for the city gate.

And the leader is a burly man like a killing god, a big boss of the bandits. They were already less than a hundred paces away from the defensive line, and it was too late to change the direction of the crossbowmen, so the lieutenant hurriedly commanded the heavy armor of the second line of defense to block their advance.

A row of iron shields was laid out in front of the big boss, his eyes were already full of murderous energy, his eyes were red, and the green tendons on his thick neck were bursting out, which made people shudder to see.

In front of the Qi army, the charge of the bandits was like a fierce beast pounced on its prey, and it was still unknown whether the heavy armored soldiers behind the iron shield could stop their neighing war horses, and many people were already a little frightened by this formation.

The lieutenant looked coldly at the oncoming bandits, silent. When they approached the point where they were about to collide with the iron shield, the lieutenant turned his head and shouted to the city gate: "Get up!"

On the high wall of Xijing City, several strong soldiers moved when they heard the order, and vigorously pulled the huge gears around them. A hard steel cable was stuck in the middle of the heavy wooden gear, leading to the other side of the wall.

As the gears spun rapidly, the steel cables were pulled tight, and a boxy fence was lowered on the wall facing the bandits, and behind the fence were several boulders about the size of several people hugging each other. Without the fence to stop it, the boulder staggered off the wall and smashed straight at the head of the bandit below.

When the big boss heard the movement, he raised his head and was startled, and hurriedly pulled the reins, and the war horse neighed in pain.

"Get out of the way!" "Hurry up and get out of the way!" shouted the big boss behind him, pulling his throat. The boulder fell, the ground was smashed with a loud noise, and the unprepared bandits were smashed squarely, falling off their horses one after another, and many people were directly pressed under the boulder, and before they could snort, blood splattered three feet.

The earth trembled uncontrollably, and the speed of the bandits' advance had to slow down.

The big boss stabilized the horse's head, looked at the row of iron shields in front of him hatefully, and squeezed the Pu knife in his hand hard.

"Brothers, rush me!" he roared as he slashed forward. There was another shout of killing in the ranks of the bandits, and a steady stream of men and horses bypassed the boulder and rushed towards the iron shield.

The lieutenant looked nervously at the scene in front of him and gritted his teeth. In recent years, the city wall fortifications in Xijing have cut corners, and the Stonehenge, which was originally used to defend against the Chu army, is now not much lethal at all, and the cost of the imperial court to withhold armaments is very serious. He didn't have time to think about it so much, so he waved his hand and ordered: "Array!"

A row of spears came out of the center of the shield, the tips pointing straight ahead.

The bandit's horse and the iron shield slammed into each other, and a deafening echo rang out on the ground. The huge impact force caused many heavy armor soldiers to be overturned on the spot, and under such a fierce charge, the defense line of the Qi army suddenly looked vulnerable.

The big boss raised the horse's head high, and a simple knife slashed down, and several heavily armored soldiers beside him instantly fell to the ground. The iron hooves of the war horse stepped on the fallen iron shield, and the bandits behind him followed him and rushed into the defensive line.

The Qi infantry with spears in their hands looked at this scene, and many of them were frightened and kept retreating. The bandits clashed with spears and broadswords, and the bandits, riding tall horses, rushed into the center of the infantry, slashing and killing indiscriminately.

The infantry of the Qi army soon became disorganized, fighting on their own, where was the opponent of the bandits. The scorching bandits had the upper hand, and the ground was littered with all kinds of horrific corpses, blood flowers bloomed on the loess, and spears were everywhere.

The lieutenant was equally alarmed, knowing that it would not be long before even the superior infantry would be able to withstand it. He shouted inside the city gates: "Hurry!

At the sound of an order, the big drum on the city wall was beaten, the city gate was opened, and a large group of cavalry rushed out from it, holding official swords, and rushed to kill the bandits.

The big boss raised his sword and cut down an infantry in one fell swoop, and looked at the oncoming cavalry, and a sinister smile appeared on his bloodstained face.

"Kill!"

The bandits also raised their weapons and fearlessly headed towards the Qi cavalry.

The generals collided, and the fierce and brave bandits immediately scattered the formation of the Qi army. The big boss bore the brunt of the attack, and two sharp swords plunged into the chests of the two cavalrymen, cutting them off their horses.

No one could get close to him, and the two heavy knives were in his hands with ease, and they were dazzling to wield at their wields. The war horse under his crotch charged unstoppably, and the Pu knife kept cutting through the chest and neck of the cavalry around him, the knife was deadly, and blood spilled in the air.

The big boss rushed to the center of the cavalry ranks, like a killing god, the sound of the Pu knife stabbing into the body was endless, and the screams of the cavalry rang out one after another, and the cavalry around him were all cut down.
