Chapter 149: Heavy Defeat to the Evil Army
Yang Liqing also hurried to the tower of the second line of defense, seeing this situation, he whispered a few words to Zhao Er, Zhao Er nodded, and immediately ordered his subordinates to collect the troops, and began to clean up the battlefield. Only then did he send someone to shout at Gu Jianhuo: "Listen to the scheming person on the other side, now give you time to clean up the corpses for a meal, if you don't come, we will dispose of their corpses, don't blame us for being disrespectful to the dead when the time comes!"
Gu saw that the fire was furious, and thought: "These wastes, I can't even take down a small city tower, and if I die, I will die, and I will be ordered by them." Would love to see what they do with the corpses. But in the blink of an eye, it occurred to me that the other party was benevolent and righteous, and if he did not send him to it, then the soldiers under his command would not be very cold? and worried that the other party had some tricks, and were hesitating, suddenly someone came to report that there was an abnormal movement in the resistance organization on the other hills in this mountain, and that they were mobilizing troops to attack the Qiqian troops stationed there. Gu saw that the fire was in his heart, and he didn't intend to pay attention to the corpses of these soldiers who died in battle, so he hurriedly passed down the order, so that all other troops should not take the initiative to attack, as long as they defended firmly, and waited for them to take the mine valley before making plans, and quickly mobilized follow-up troops to enter the mine valley valley mouth to prepare for the next round of attacks.
Zhao Er and Yang Liqing saw that Gu Jianhuo didn't care about the corpses of these dead people, and they didn't care about them, so they immediately mobilized troops and horses according to the plan and prepared for a counterattack.
Kong Rui hurriedly rushed to the city tower where Zhao Er was, and when he saw Zhao Er and Yang Liqing, he asked Zhao Er, "Second Brother Zhao, how is the situation here?"
Seeing Kong Rui, Zhao Er thought that the sudden loss of combat effectiveness of those Demon Cultivators should be related to the Forbidden Disk, and hurriedly replied: "Brother Lin is here, the battle situation here is good, all the Demon Cultivators have been killed, and the Demon Cultivators have also retreated." It's just that the brothers suffered some heavy casualties. ”
Kong Rui stepped forward and whispered to Zhao Er: "Second Brother Zhao, there is another traitor in the mining valley, called Tian Hecheng, who has been taken down by Miss Zhao, and is in the hall outside the secret room. ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhao Er's face changed a few times, and he couldn't help but glance at Yang Liqing again. Yang Liqing was busy directing the soldiers, and he didn't know what they were talking about.
Of course, everyone knew that the immediate priority was to repel the Qiqian people first and recapture the tower of the first line of defense, so Zhao Er immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare to stop according to the plan.
I saw Zhao Er nodding at Yang Liqing, Yang Liqing immediately waved his right hand, and saw dozens of soldiers on the dam on the uphill side moving the winch together, opening the four gates on the dam together, and the water stored in the dam rushed out at once, and the soldiers in the mine valley were all on the city tower of the second line of defense, naturally nothing happened, the big water rushed down the slope, the momentum was extremely fierce, and the city tower of the second line of defense converged into a rapid, and rushed out along the city gate, and the passage was filled with water when it landed, and the corpses of those sinister people also floated down the river and rushed straight to the first line of defense。
Seeing this, Gu couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to go up to the city tower, and urgently ordered the soldiers outside the valley to retreat quickly.
Many soldiers were rushed out of the city gate by the torrent, and the soldiers outside the city tower were marching in formation, and suddenly the turbid waves rushed out of the city gate, how could the soldiers resist? On the serpentine road, the front team that was not rushed into the ditch tried desperately to retreat, but the rear team had not yet reacted and continued to advance, and I don't know how many people were squeezed into the ditch, but fortunately, the mud at the bottom of the ditch had not yet dried up, and the soldiers did not fall to their deaths, but most of them were seriously injured and fractured, and for a time there were screams; the tower of the first line of defense was also very narrow, and there were not many people who could stand, so it was only a cup of tea, in the entire first line of defense, only Gu Jianhuo on the city tower and his officers and other 200 people.
Zhao Er saw from a distance that there were only a few people left on the city tower on the other side, and he also knew that the follow-up troops were blocked by the rapids outside the city tower, he couldn't help laughing, pulled out his waist knife, waved it forward, and turned around and shouted to his brothers: "Brothers, we will all rush forward in a while and capture this thief alive!" All the soldiers waved their weapons together and shouted loudly.
Seeing this, Yang Liqing couldn't help frowning, so he ordered to stop releasing water, and when the water was small, he was ready to lead the army to kill and recapture the city tower of the first line of defense.
But seeing that the water had not receded, he did not dare to go down to the bottom of the tower, and looking at the opponent's formation, he must have planned to kill the enemy when the water was low, and it would be difficult to resist when the time came; and the soldiers at the mouth of the valley had already retreated, and there was not even a person to answer. The officers were also anxious, but they could only look at Gu Jianhuo and wait for his order.
Gu Jianhuo has no idea now, he is in a dilemma, he is a warrior of the Qi Country, he naturally thought of fighting to the death, so he drew his war knife and waved it forward: "This defeat is the shame of my Qi Country's army, I am willing to fight to the death with you!"
The officers hurriedly persuaded: "The general must not be like this, we must do our best to escort the general and rush out." "Everyone was busy preparing for battle.
Seeing that the water was weak upstream, Zhao Er, Yang Liqing and others immediately gathered soldiers to go down to the city gate and prepare to go forward with the water potential.
Yang Liqing ordered the soldiers to fire three more horns, only to see Captain Li take the lead and yelled: "Kill!" and led the soldiers to follow the water and kill it.
When the soldiers saw that Captain Li was leading the team to kill, they hurriedly turned their crossbows and prepared to shoot arrows into the passage. As a result, when they looked around, the soldiers could not find even a single feather arrow, and the empty crossbow became an ornament, so they hurriedly prepared to return fire with the bows and arrows they carried at any time.
The strong bows and crossbows on both sides of the passage had already shot at the city tower on this side, and there was no wall battlement on the inward side of the city tower, and there was no place for the soldiers to hide, so dozens of people were shot dead on the spot, and there was a great chaos immediately.
When the soldiers saw that there were some large wooden boxes on the city tower, they hurriedly hid behind the wooden boxes and waited for an opportunity to return fire. Who knew that as soon as I got close to these wooden boxes, I heard some noise in the wooden boxes, as if something was smashing the wooden planks inside the boxes, trying to break out of the boxes.
The soldiers were wondering why, when suddenly the planks of a wooden box fell down on all sides, revealing a swarthy iron box with small holes in the walls of the box. The soldiers didn't think about what this thing was for, but they saw crossbow arrows shot out of those holes at the same time, and the people around them were caught off guard and hit by arrows one after another, and then other iron boxes were exposed, and crossbow arrows were constantly shot, killing and wounding people.
Several of the officers who guarded Gu Jianhuo were also shot dead, and the rest of the officers saw that Captain Li had led the team to kill him, and they knew that it was not good, so they hurriedly found a rope and tied Gu Jianhuo, preparing to take him off the city wall.
Gu Jianhuo symbolically shouted: "Leave me alone, I'll fight to the death together!" The resistance in his hand was not fierce, and when the officers around him were constantly shot to death, the officers were put down the city wall and escaped from the tower.
When the people outside the city saw the commander escape from the city wall, they hurriedly sent a small group of elite soldiers to meet them, and they also knew that the serpentine road was not suitable for the movement of large groups of soldiers and horses, so they could only send fewer elite soldiers and fierce generals.
Captain Li had already seen Gu Jianhuo being put down on the city wall, and he didn't attack the city tower, so he directly led a team of soldiers out of the city gate, wanting to capture Gu Jianhuo, but he didn't expect that the small group of Qihuo soldiers was also extremely strong, fighting to the death, and reluctantly rescued Gu Jianhuo back to his own position.
Captain Li saw that the opponent was strong, and there were bows and crossbows to suppress the position, and his own people were still fighting on the city tower, and the city tower had not been completely taken by his own people, so he stopped chasing and led the troops to withdraw.
