Chapter 8: A Great Victory
The red-clothed army of the Blood Alliance was burned by the night attack, and it could not hold out before it reached the next stop to supply the place, and a large number of deserters appeared, which were originally a group of bandits, not to mention that almost everyone would take the sheep with them when they left! The morale of the red-clothed army was greatly reduced, and the 30,000-strong army marched slowly, and less than 10,000 came to the outskirts of Shangzhou! At the front was a man more than seven feet tall, with a gold-tipped hat covering his hair, and his face was white and tender. Wearing bronze armor, bronze boots, and holding a hook and sickle in his hand, this person is the leader of the Blood Alliance, named Shan Yungui!
"Brothers, that's Shangzhou City, and we'll have food soon!" Shan Yungui shouted at the top of his voice. As soon as the hungry red-clothed army heard the news, their mouths immediately became reveling, and the speed of the march was more than twice as fast as that of the sword-whipping horse. The red-clothed bandit hurried to the city, and found that the Shangzhou city had already put away the drawbridge, and the outside was separated by a wide moat.
"Listen to the soldiers guarding the gate, I will just pass by, and we will leave after rectification, and I will not hurt you in the slightest, and I hope you will make it convenient for us to pass" Shan Yungui shouted in a loud voice, but there was no reaction in the city. Shan Yungui tentatively wanted to take a few steps forward, but sure enough, it was another 10,000 arrows, and there was no room for negotiation! Shan Yungui waved his hook and sickle, thinking to himself that it was already a rebellion anyway, and he couldn't go on like this, so he let his subordinates raise their shields and advance! Not long after he walked out, the letter soldiers at the back of the team came to report that a large group of cavalry, about thousands of men and horses, appeared in the rear, which made it difficult for Shan Yungui. If he did not advance, the grain and grass had been cut off for several days, and many horses had been killed to replenish the food, and this mobility had been greatly weakened, and the chasing cavalry in the rear would not necessarily be able to destroy it if he wanted to run, but if he was destroyed from behind, he would be wiped out. At this moment, a fast horse pedaled to Shan Yungui's side, and immediately sat the ghost-faced monk.
"Don't worry, Shan Alliance Master, I'll go to the rear to help you drag down that group of pursuers. The enemy has cut off our food route, and the location is favorable, so I can't fight for a long time!" the ghost-faced monk looked around and said in a low voice, "Send more cannon fodder to the front to consume the enemy's arrows!"
"Thank you Mr. for your advice! Mr. will lead a part of the team to resist, I will lead the troops to break the city as soon as possible!" Shan Yungui seemed to have made up his mind, turned his head and said to the red-clothed bandit, "Chong! In the future, the marquis will be divided, and the beautiful woman and wine will be inexhaustible!!"
"Ahhhh The guards guarding the gate of the city were divided into two teams, one team shooting arrows and the other team winding up and repeating alternately, so that the rain of arrows fell from the sky as if it were uninterrupted, and the red-clothed bandits in front of them fell one after another like hunted elk, and slowly the corpses were scattered all over the field. Seeing this, many of the red-clothed bandits behind stopped and fled backwards, Shan Yungui killed several deserters, and shouted, "Escape from the battle, ghosts and gods should be punished!" The red-clothed bandit army stiffened their heads, and paved a road with corpses, as if the arrows on the city tower were used up, and the arrow rain stopped. "Good opportunity! rush!" Shan Yungui shouted, the army of red-clothed bandits launched another wave of sprints, crossing the corpses of many companions, and came to the moat under the city, and the first batch of red-clothed bandits who went down smelled wrong, "It's not water, it's oil!" I don't know who just finished speaking, a few rockets on the city tower have already ignited the moat, and the flames quickly engulfed the figure, and the entire Shangzhou City was surrounded by a circle of flames.
"Don't be afraid, rush!" Shan Yungui shouted at the army that had stopped in front of him.
"He is using us as cannon fodder, and it is not us who is the emperor! Why!" I don't know who in the crowd said this, the long-suppressed emotions were ignited, complaining one after another, several personal soldiers close to Shan Yungui suddenly drew their knives and cut off the horse's feet, Shan Yungui fell off the horse, and the hook sickle fell to the ground. Shan Yungui hurriedly reached out to take it, "Ah!" With a miserable scream, Shan Yungui's outstretched right hand was cut off by a big knife, and everyone lifted Shan Yungui and threw it into the burning moat! A more miserable cry sounded than just now, and the leader of the Blood Alliance disappeared in the flames. It is said that after the ghost-faced monk instigated Shan Yungui, he led the small troops behind him to the end of the team, and the leader of the cavalry in the rear was Qiao Chenpei, the two armies faced each other, and the two generals stood in front of the army.
"I thought it was, it turned out that General Qiao, everyone is an old acquaintance, why bother me so much!" said the ghost-faced monk with a smile.
"Phew, you are shameless! Did you fan the flames behind this Blood Alliance?" Qiao Chenpei spat and pulled out his sword!
Everyone used to be colleagues, but now they are not the same, so why bother to ridicule each other!"
"If you don't know the truth of your real name, how can you talk about your colleagues!"
"Up!" the ghost-faced monk waved his hand, and the red-clothed bandit met the enemy.
"Kill!" Qiao Chenpei clamped the war horse and led the army to catch up, the two armies intersected, the ghost-faced monk rushed straight towards Qiao Chenpei, flicked his right hand, pressed the middle finger in the sleeve, and a dark arrow swished out. Qiao Chenpei waved his sword and stabbed it with a backhand of the dark arrow, the ghost-faced monk's left hand had already drawn out the soft sword from his waist and threw it at Qiao Chenpei, Qiao Chenpei's sword went with the momentum, and if he drew back the sword, he would definitely be handed over by the soft sword. The two horses faced each other, and each of them rushed around in half a circle, and in this way they fought for several rounds, but they were also comparable. Let's say that the two armies are facing each other, and the red-clothed bandits have a slight advantage, and at this time, a voice came from nearby and shouted, "The leader of the Blood Alliance has been defeated and killed, and the army in the city is coming!" When the red-clothed bandit army heard this, they threw away their armor and fled around while killing, and it didn't take long for the field to be cleaned up.
"Madam! This is the first time I went to the battlefield, only to find that the war is so tragic!" Lu Ziang cleared his throat, reined in his horse in the rear of the red-clothed bandit army before, and took off the clothes of the red-clothed bandits.
"It's no wonder, this is better than the war when I was a child! But your voice scared them into throwing away their armor, and they were too timid!" Meng Jingyun also took off the dress of the red-clothed bandit, revealing the clothes that had already been worn inside.
"We are outnumbered, and those who are in the battlefield first and wait for the enemy, and those who are in the battlefield and tend to fight in the latter are laboring, and their food and grass have been cut off for many days. Let's take advantage of the territory and people, and if we cut off the snake's head and let it lose its way, we have no intention of fighting! Let's go, it's not time for us to rest, let's see how to plot against this ghost-faced monk!"
When the ghost-faced monk heard that this Shan Yungui was defeated, he thought that he was broken, and he was in a hurry to reveal a flaw, and was slashed in the chest by Qiao Chenpei and fell off the horse. Qiao Chenpei had the feeling of slashing in his hand, and he raised his eyes in ecstasy, the happy expression on his face became slightly serious, and he saw that the ghost-faced monk's chest was slowly covered with black manes, which did not hurt him in the slightest, it seemed that what Lu Ziang said was true, and he drove the horse away and whistled. When the soldiers heard the code that had been agreed upon a long time ago, they lined up in a long line of snakes and held their spears in their hands.
"General Qiao, why do you want to kill people..... Before he finished speaking, Lu Ziang appeared behind him, raised his right hand into a fist, and slammed a heavy punch into the back of his head, the fist quickly turned into a bear paw in the process of swinging, and the ghost-faced monk was knocked out like a balloon. "Kill!" Qiao Chenpei gave an order, and several cavalrymen near the ghost-faced monk landed galloped away, surrounded it into a circle, and stabbed all the spears, only to hear a crisp sound, and half of the ghost-faced monk's mask shattered and floated out. "Roar ~~~~~!" A loud bang was followed by a rain of blood clots, and a monster with a giant bear on the upper body and a human body on the lower body suddenly appeared in the place where the ghost-faced monk was, holding several spears in his left arm, and chopping all the nearby people and horses with his right hand, and throwing his left hand at the soldiers next to him, and the spears were like strings of tofu and spurs on the ground. The soldier was frightened, and the horse fled in all directions, and was in a disarray, and the monster turned its head to look, and then turned its head and leaped to its feet, and quickly transformed into a human form, landed on a horse, and disappeared into the woods.
