Bright red fireballs gradually rose from the distant mountains, and the surrounding scenery became clear and clear in an instant.

It is a huge mansion built on a half-slope, facing the back of the river, and on the left and right sides of the steep riverbank cliffs. The courtyard walls are as high as three zhang high and the wall is more than two feet wide, and the walls are made of blue bricks to form a jagged bunker. In addition to the arrow tower above the gate, there is also an arrow tower at each of the four corners.

Tang Lifeng leaned on the trunk of a pine tree next to the mountain road, looked up at the archers on the arrow tower with hatred, and glanced at the enemy lying in the brick stomping bunker a few times ready to fight at any time, and sighed heavily, feeling a little discouraged in his heart: the six strong attacks launched last night had damaged more than a hundred gangs, but the Chaotian Fort in front of him was immovable. My predecessors, why did you build it so strongly? so hard!

Yu Huantie sat quietly on the mountain rock beside Tang Lifeng with his arms crossed, although he hadn't closed his eyes all night, he didn't seem to be tired. A subordinate next to him was carrying a strong bow, and the quiver was empty. This is a strong bow that makes Chaotian Fort frightened, and the arrows are frightening, and forty arrows cost the lives of thirty-two Chaotianbao disciples.

"How many enemies are there in the fort?" Yu Huantie looked at Tang Lifeng and asked.

Tang Lifeng said: "There are about more than 400 people. Brother Yu, do you have a good way to break the enemy?" In fact, he is no less than twenty years older than Yu Huantie, but he is called "Brother Yu", which seems a little humble.

"I don't have a good solution. Yu Huantie shook his head, "The wall is too high, and the enemy is condescending, so it is really difficult to capture it for a while." When the forty or so subordinates he brought with him heard him say this, their expressions were solemn, and they all turned their heads to look at him.

"It seems that it has to be a protracted battle!" Tang Lifeng muttered slightly.

"A war of attrition, to be exact. A sneer appeared at the corner of Yu Huantie's mouth, "Now that we have trapped them, we can attack if we want, and retreat if we don't want to." They have to be on guard at all times, and it's not necessarily easier than we are. Let's just spend it!"

"How long will it take?" Tang Lifeng asked with a frown.

"It won't be a few days!" Yu Huantie seemed to be very confident, "When they are almost exhausted and tired, we will take everyone to launch a fatal blow!"

Tang Lifeng's worried mood immediately decreased by a few points, and he said, "Okay, it's all up to Brother Yu's scheduling!"

Yu Huantie stood up and said, "Everyone is tired, let's rest for an hour first." Has all the food been distributed?"

Tang Lifeng said: "This problem, Brother Yu doesn't have to worry about it, it's okay early." ”

Yu Huantie nodded and said, "On the dock, we have to be careful to take precautions, for fear that the enemies on the periphery will gather and attack us inside and outside." ”

Tang Lifeng said: "This has also been arranged a long time ago, Tang Yun has brought more than 100 people to be stationed at the dock. However, as far as I know, they don't have many people on the periphery, just seventy or eighty. ”

"It's mainly the people of Divine Arm City!" Yu Huantie said his real concern, "Bai Yu's martial arts are extraordinary, and the people under him are also very brave, how can the people of the Zhongshan Gang be opponents? ”

Tang Lifeng pondered for a moment and said, "If they really come, and Tang Yun can't withstand it, we can immediately reinforce it." ”

Fang Xianju didn't close his eyes all night. At dawn, he took Yin Tianjin to inspect the arrow tower, the wall and other defensive fortresses, and saw that Lu Lingchu, the master of the Thunder Wind Hall, and Xuan Yongzheng, the master of the Shanze Hall, were leading his subordinates to take precautions, and the personnel distribution and defense priorities in various places were also arranged properly, and they felt a little at ease. Immediately he said loudly: "Brothers have worked hard! Please listen to me: the walls of our Chaotian Fort are high and thick, and they are unusually strong. As long as everyone does not panic and obeys orders, we have the advantage of a favorable location, and the enemy will not be able to penetrate it! The lord of this fort has already flown the pigeon to pass the book to the Divine Arm City, and I believe that it will not be long before the lord of the white city will bring his brothers to kill him, and he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy from both sides!"

Everyone was trapped in the fort, and they were a little frightened and depressed, but now they heard that there was still a chance to turn defeat into victory, and their spirits were lifted.

"What's more," Fang Zhiju glanced at everyone one by one, and said confidently: "The matter here, I believe that He Tongju in the mansion has already received the news, maybe he will immediately reorganize the soldiers and horses and come to suppress the thieves!"

※※※

After two days in a row, neither did they see the help of Shenjian City, nor did they see He Tongju come with soldiers and horses to suppress the thieves, and everyone in the fort became more and more panicked.

In the past two days, the enemy launched more than ten attacks, but he did not blindly attack fiercely, and once he felt that he could not attack, he retreated, and there were not many casualties. Under the secret weapons of the disciples of the Tang Sect and the bows and arrows of the masters of the Chu Xiang League, Chaotian Fort lost hundreds of people.

The focus of the square is very urgent, and the days are like years. Yesterday, the White City Lord of Shenjian City wrote that the Jinsha Gang and the Zhuhai Gang also suddenly attacked the day before yesterday, and they took Cuiping Fort in one afternoon, and more than 100 brothers in the fort died, not to mention, even the castle lord Liu Wei was also killed, and more than 100 brothers survived and fled to Shenjian City. The Second Gang then went down the river and united with the Zhongshan Gang to besiege Shenjian City, neither attacking nor retreating. Although Bai Yu didn't take them seriously, he still hasn't come to help, and he has been entangled enough in the future.

Especially the appearance of people who have not seen the government for a long time makes his sense of foreboding stronger and stronger. Secretly wondered: What does it mean that the government is ignoring such a big gang bloody war? Of course, they are not willing to intervene in the fight between the two sides at all. From this point of view, this action of the Tang Sect not only contacted the Chu Xiang League to support, but the government had already done a good job. Hey, what did I do wrong? Even the government is disgusted with our Chaotian Fort!

In the afternoon of this day, Fang Xianju stood on the arrow tower and looked at the black enemy outside the fort, sighed heavily in his heart, and beckoned to Yin Tianjin beside him: "Follow me!" After speaking, he turned around and walked down the arrow tower and walked towards the living room.

A twenty-year-old young man in Tsing Yi was restlessly stamping back and forth in the front hall, and when he saw Fang Cong coming, he was overjoyed and said, "Daddy, the child also wants to kill the enemy, but the mother just doesn't agree." Tell my mother and let me go, okay?"

Fang Zhiju waved his hand with a stern expression and shouted, "No!

Yin Tianjin and Fang Yi followed him into the inner room, a middle-aged beautiful woman in her forties, sitting on a carved wooden chair with red sandalwood by the window with a sad expression, and a beautiful girl of fourteen or fifteen years old stood next to her, with anxiety and panic in her eyes. When the girl saw the crowd coming in, she made up her mind and cried out, "Daddy!"

Fang Zhiju nodded, did not answer, and walked straight to the wall on the right side of the room, where a pair of Huang Gongwang's "Nine Peaks Snow Ji" was hung on the wall, but I didn't know if it was genuine. Fang Yuanju did not look at the painting, but reached out and pressed it on the wall at the bottom of the frame, and in the sound of "rolling", the painting slowly moved upward, revealing a secret door that was two feet wide and three feet high. The other four didn't know that there was such a mechanism on the wall, and they all looked over in surprise.

Fang Zhiju reached into the fumbling inside, took out a small bamboo tube, scraped off the oil seal, poured out a small paper ball, carefully unfolded it, glanced at it, and handed it to Yin Tianjin. Yin Tianjin looked at Fang Yuanju suspiciously, and took the crumpled paper.

"This is a map of the route to Mount Qingcheng," Fang Zhiju explained, "The places that draw the red circle are our secret sentinels, and when you get there, you just need to make this gesture to the owner there," he said, gesturing with a pair of scissors with his right hand, "and saying, 'Wanderers from all over the world, return to people in stormy nights', and they will know that you are their own people and will help you." ”

Yin Tianjin looked at Fang Yanju in surprise: "This ...... Master...... What exactly do you want me to do?" Mrs. Fang and the others also gathered around, looking at Fang Qianju in confusion, and then at the map in Yin Tianjin's hand.

Fang Zhiju said: "Don't say anything else, in short, the situation of Chaotian Fort is very critical now, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold it, you go first! This gate leads to the 'Ping'an Inn' in the southeast, where the shopkeeper Wu is also his own person, he will prepare horses for you and give you a ride." If you need anything along the way, you can go to the outposts marked on the map for help. Tianjin, you quickly find six brothers with strong martial arts, and protect Madame and Yi'er and Ru'er to go first!"

Yin Tianjin hurriedly went out, and after a while, he came in with six energetic disciples, and saw that Mrs. Fang was holding Fang Zhiju's hand tightly with both hands, and persuaded with tears: "Brother Ju, you want to go together!" Fang Zhiju struggled to push her hand away, and said loudly: "No! You go first, it's too late to be late!"

"Since you can't hold it, why do you stick to it? The gentleman will take revenge, it's not too late for ten years! We'll find a chance to fight back in the future!" Mrs. Fang stared at Fang Shiju with red eyes and said loudly.

Fang Yi and Fang Ru also stepped forward and grabbed Fang Yiju's arm and shook it, persuading him to go together.

Fang Zhi was in a state of confusion, gritted his teeth, ruthlessly pushed away his children's hands, and said loudly: "No! Daddy is the lord of a castle, how can he abandon his brothers and escape alone!"

Fang Yi said: "That...... Why don't you all withdraw from this secret passage together?"

Fang Zhiju said: "No, once we abandon the defense, the enemy will immediately take the opportunity to attack the fort. This tunnel is so small, how can it be evacuated one by one?...... We'll be wiped out!"

Fang Ru choked up and said, "But...... Daddy, there are so many enemies, how can you resist it?...... What will you do then?"

Fang Zhiju gently stroked his daughter's hair, reached out to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, and said softly: "Ru'er, don't worry, Daddy can handle it! What's more, your uncle will bring someone to kill from Divine Arm City soon." When the enemy is defeated, Daddy will come to you! Be obedient, kiss your mother and leave them!"

Fang Ru shook her head violently with tears streaming down her face, and cried: "Daddy is a liar...... I'm not leaving!"

Fang Xianju ignored his daughter, turned to Yin Tianjin and shouted, "Tianjin, you go ahead!" Yin Tianjin glanced at the master deeply, turned his head, and crawled into the darkness of the tunnel.

Fang Gang forced his wife and children into the tunnel one by one. Then, the six disciples also said goodbye to Fang Qunju and entered the tunnel one after another.

Fang looked at the dark tunnel reluctantly, took a breath, pressed the mechanism button, and closed the secret door. He didn't plan to use this secret escape anymore, because he was worried that when everyone fled, he would be pursued by the enemy, and there was a danger of exposing the whereabouts of his family. He pondered for a while, picked up his pen and wrote a letter, and shouted, "Lou Fang, come in!"

A man with a triangular face stepped in. Fang Zhiju handed him the letter and said, "Send this letter to Hou Shaofei quickly, and let him personally hand it over to the head of Zhenguan!"

He did not tell Zhenguan in the letter that Chaotian Fort had been abandoned by the government, and there was no other way to leave him than to fight to the death. He couldn't let Zhenguan and the three of them get involved and take their lives in vain, so he begged Zhenguan to protect his family, as long as he could keep them safe, he would be able to smile at Jiuquan.

He slowly removed his sword from the wall and strode out with a gloomy face.

※※※

In the evening, under the command of Yu Huantie and Tang Lifeng, the Tang Gate launched a general attack on Chaotian Fort.

Twenty or thirty wrestlers, carrying a huge log, rushed towards the gate of the fort under the protection of a hundred or so companions on both sides. The feather arrows fell from the sky and were sealed by the rattan shield wall formed in the sky above the wood, and immediately, dense feather arrows covered the shield. Occasionally, feathered arrows pierced through the shield wall, and a terrible scream was immediately heard from below.

Hundreds of Tang Sect disciples swarmed forward, and various hidden weapons such as hidden arrows, darts, and projectiles also flew towards the high wall to fight back. For a time, the feather arrows and hidden weapons of both sides were intertwined into a large criss-crossing net, covering the sky and the sun, and the screams of both sides were endless.

Yu Huantie held a bow and arrow, leading more than a dozen subordinates who were good at archery, forming a bow and arrow team, "Boom, boom!!" In the sound of the beads breaking through the air, more than 60 archers in the left, center, and right arrow towers had lost more than half of them in a short time.

"Boom!" Tang Xing personally carried the leader of the hammer and shouted: "Brothers, work hard! Knock open the door and make a first-class meritorious service!" In the loud roar of "one, two, three", the iron gate trembled. "Knock, knock, knock!" three times in a row, the door latch finally could not stand it, "snap" break, the door burst open, and the enemy outside the fort poured in like a tide.

Two heavy iron gratings smashed down, and in the dust, the flesh and blood of several Tang Sect disciples were blurred. Dozens of Chaotian Fort gangs formed a thick human wall, and the dazzling blades swung indiscriminately, blood splattered, and more than a dozen enemies fell in the blink of an eye.

Enemies several times their size rushed forward, and the human wall finally couldn't resist it, and was rushed through a large gap.

Lu Lingchu, the master of the Thunder Wind Hall, led eighty-one disciples, divided into nine groups, each group of nine people, according to the greedy wolf, giant gate, Lu Cun, Wenqu, Lian Zhen, Wuqu, Pojun, Zuo Fu, and right Bi Nine Star Arrangement. Once the enemy rushes into the formation, the nine men in each group will enter and slash in the order of the nine stars.

The dozens of Tang Sect disciples who rushed to the front did not understand this nine-star formation, but they felt that the enemy was advancing and retreating, and there was no way to advance or retreat, and they were dazzled for a while, as if they were in a huge meat grinder, being strangled by the enemy in turn. In a short time, more than 40 people were killed and wounded by the sword.

Xuanyong, the hall master of Shanze Hall, led more than 100 disciples and rushed into the crowd that rushed in to slash and kill wildly. Once in hand-to-hand combat, the martial arts of the Tang Sect disciples were weak, and they did not have time to use hidden weapons, so they all drew their swords to meet the enemy, and gradually formed a scene of two or three Tang Sect disciples facing a Chaotian Fort disciple.

Seeing that the enemies had poured in one after another, the disciples of Chaotian Fort, who were defending on the walls and arrow towers, were no longer able to stop them, and they all jumped back to the compound inside the fort to join the melee. For a time, the screams of both sides of the melee were endless.

Tang Lifeng looked at Yu Huantie beside him, frowned, and said, "In such a situation, even if the enemy is annihilated, our side will inevitably suffer heavy casualties! Especially this sword formation, it is really powerful!"

Yu Huantie sneered: "What's so great about the Nine Star Array! Let's break it!" Turning his head and ordering: "He Protector, you call Brother Wei Chi, Brother Qiu, Brother Ruan, etc. in the chaotic battle, a dozen or so people are enough, let's go and break the formation!" Not long after, twelve Chu Xiang League masters who had killed more than 30 enemies came to Yu Huantie's side.

Yu Huan Tiedao: "When I will enter the battle, I will take Brother Wei Chi, Brother Ruan, and Brother Sha to kill the nine people in the center of the circle, and I ask He Protector to lead the rest of the brothers to block the enemy from the southwest." As long as the people who occupy the center are killed, and the people who make up for them cannot occupy the center, the formation will immediately run poorly, and it will inevitably be chaotic. Let's take advantage of the chaos to kill again!" He Protector said: "Okay!"

Yu Huantie pulled out his long sword with a "sonorous", the purple light was clear, emitting a terrifying murderous aura, and he rushed into the formation with thirteen people like a vicious tiger. The Tang Sect disciples who were flustered in the formation saw that they had received strong reinforcements, and their spirits were greatly boosted, and they fought hard.

Yu Huantie quickly rushed into the center of the circle with the four of them, and after a few purple light curtains, the four of them fell down screaming. The other four people swung their blades together, and in an instant, they killed the nine Chaotian Fort disciples in the middle circle dryly and quietly.

As soon as the middle circle was broken, the five people quickly dispersed into all directions, like wolves entering the flock, cutting and killing indiscriminately. He Protector also led the remaining eight people on a rampage, and in the blink of an eye, more than thirty gang corpses were on the ground.

Tang Lifeng saw that the sword formation had been broken, and commanded more than 100 gangs to attack left and right, and immediately rushed everyone to pieces.

Seeing that Yu Huantie was so powerful, Fang Qi rushed into the formation with a sword, and as soon as he struck, it was the three serial killing moves of the Songfeng Sword Technique. Yu Huantie sneered: "Gong Hou has been waiting for a long time!" "Sonorous and sonorous" calmly blocked three swords in a row.

Fang Xiang gathered but felt that his arm was numb, and his heart was cold. Cheered up at the moment, and attacked more than ten quick swords in a row. Yu Huantie praised: "Okay, fast enough!It's just that the skill is a little lacking!" Fang gathered up the twelve success powers, and shouted: "Don't be rampant! Take me another sword!" The cold light flashed and stabbed him in the throat.

Yu Huantie shouted violently, and with a stroke of the sword, he almost flew the Fang Class Gathering Long Sword, and stabbed out with a sword, and with a "bang", the Fang Class Gathering robe was torn, and his left shoulder was immediately stained red with blood.

Fang class gathered three feet and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to break through!" Lu Lingchu, Xuan Yong and the others hurriedly gathered in Fang class. Yu Huan's iron sword slashed wildly, and the disciples of Chaotian Fort who were blocking him fell one after another.

Tang Lifeng shouted: "Quickly block the gate, Fang Zhiju is about to escape!" Immediately, dozens of people rushed to the door, forming a human wall, and the sword and sword nets were waiting.

Fang Yuju did not rush to the gate, but rushed to the southwest with sixty or seventy of his subordinates like mad tigers. These dozens of people are all elites in the fort, and if they rush like this, the enemy on that side can't resist it, and the people around them don't have time to make up for it, so they are immediately rushed through a gap.

Fang Zhiju led everyone to quickly climb onto the wall, and a batch of hidden weapons and feathered arrows flew like locusts, and everyone waved their blades to block. In the sound of "ahh Fang Zhi couldn't help his injured brother, so he jumped off the high wall with everyone, and rushed forward in the moonlight.

Yu Huantie led a group of people with good light skills to chase out, but the terrain was not as familiar as Fang Zhiju and his party, and he couldn't catch up for a while, and he was more than 20 zhang behind.

As soon as he entered the gate, he heard the noisy neighing of horses, and a group of horses rushed over like a whirlwind. Yu Huantie shouted, "Get out of the way!" and jumped up and went to the roof. The rest of the people were also shocked and jumped out of the way to dodge. Several people couldn't dodge, and in the terrible screams, they were trampled by the horses.

Yu Huantie was frightened for a while, and stared at it, but saw that the group had galloped like a galloping horse and disappeared into the vast night.
