Gao Tingzhi, Xu Chendong and the others did not expect Liang Cheng to come to rob the camp that day, although they had made certain precautions in advance, but they were still caught off guard.

Zhao Yanhui saw that Gao Tingzhi's camp was suddenly in chaos, and immediately sent troops to the rescue. However, just when things were just taking a turn for the better, Liang Cheng's 100,000 army suddenly pressed down like rolling black clouds, and the battle situation fell into an extremely chaotic situation in an instant.

Liu Xushou was really as Liang Cheng expected, worried that it was a plan, and kept cowering in Zhongmu City, waiting for changes.

That night, Ah Feng and Yan Yun escorted Gao Tingzhi out of the encirclement, and at dawn the next day, only 3,000 remnants of the 50,000 troops they brought followed, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

Gao Tingzhi looked at these 3,000 soldiers who followed him out of the encirclement, his expression was solemn, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "General Zhao Yanhui, is there any news about Xu Chendong's joining the army?"

A soldier came running with a disgraced face and answered: "General Hui, there is no news of them for the time being." ”

Gao Tingzhi smashed his fist on the stone angrily, and shouted angrily: "It's really damn bad luck, it was only one day, and it was such a big defeat to be killed by Liang Cheng's thief." ”

Seeing this scene, Yan Yun hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "General Gao, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, don't blame yourself so much." ”

Gao Tingzhi's expression was gloomy, and he let out a long sigh, looking at the three thousand remnants, there was an indescribable pain in his heart.

"General Gao, it's not good, it's not good, Liang Cheng led an army of 100,000 and surrounded this dirt mountain. Just when Gao Tingzhi was sad, a guard hurriedly ran away.

Gao Tingzhi's expression was suddenly startled, and he shouted urgently: "Hurry up and prepare to fight!"

However, Gao Tingzhi roared three times in a row, and most people were still unmoved.

"It's all deaf, it's still stupid, everyone is going to prepare for the battle!" Gao Tingzhi roared angrily again.

After a long time, a commander said with a trembling voice: "General, the rebels have an army of 100,000, and we only have 3,000, how can we fight this battle?"

Gao Tingzhi shouted angrily at the commander, "Don't say that there are still three thousand, even if there are three hundred, thirty people, or even just me, how should this battle be fought, or how should it be fought." Listen to everyone, if anyone disobeys the military order, there will be no forgiveness! If you don't want to die, prepare me to fight!"

The commander still didn't move, and his expression was even uglier than that of his dead father.

"I'll order you now, take your men, and prepare me for battle!" Gao Tingzhi pointed at the commander, like a mad lion, and roared angrily.

The commander replied helplessly, and led the remnants of his defeated soldiers to lie listlessly on the hillside, his eyes full of panic and uneasiness.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock ......"

A rapid drum beat sounded to indicate that the assault had begun, and the shadow of death had begun to loom over them.

Although the hill is not high, it has only recently been baptized by floods, so many places have become very steep, and it is difficult to accommodate tens of thousands of people to attack at the same time.

In addition, Gao Tingzhi was like a crazy wolf, and his blood-red eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he didn't want to rush to the front. This was a great encouragement to some extent, and the morale of the enemy, which was already on the verge of falling to the extreme, repelled several frantic attacks of the enemy in a row.

Looking at the defeated army that had retreated, Liang Chengqi almost burst into flames again, and shouted loudly: "Damn, this is the first time that you have been defeated and retreated?"

Seeing this scene, a personal guard responded with a trembling voice: "General Hui, this is the eighth time." ”

"It's been attacked eight times, and I can't even take down a small dirt mountain, it's really a bunch of rubbish, rubbish. Whoever came, cut off all the commanders and centurions who had retreated for me, and hung their heads on the flagpole for public display. Liang Cheng pulled his throat, roared angrily, and covered the chrysanthemum with one hand, so as not to be too angry and cause the newly healed chrysanthemum to burst.

"The general spares his life, the general spares his ......life," the centurion and the thousand-legion, who had retreated, pleaded with a cry.

Click, click, click......

Soon their pleas disappeared in a pool of blood with a clicking sound.

"Judging from the battle situation just now, and the density of the feather arrows shot by the Ming army, they still have more than a thousand people at most. Four thousand-man teams attacked the mountain together, and then put another four-thousand-man team, once there was a defeated retreat in front, they would be killed directly. After all of them were killed in battle, the second wave of 4,000 men immediately made up for it...... I want to see if this group of Ming troops is iron-clad or not, and how long can they hold out?"

The centurion and centurion of the eight-thousand-man team, especially the four-thousand-man squad that rushed to the front, had the same expressions as frost-beaten eggplants. After all, the bloody heads that had just been clicked were still swaying in the wind on the flagpole not far away.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock......" The drums like the summoning of death began to sound again, and they spread throughout the entire dirt mountain, and when people heard it, they were terrified.

Yan Yun glanced around, and said to Gao Tingzhi urgently: "General Gao, together with my brother-in-law Ah Feng, I went around to the back of the rebels and directly killed the thief leader Liang Cheng. As long as the enemy commander is killed, the 100,000-strong army will definitely be defeated like a mountain, and when the time comes, you will take advantage of the situation to kill the enemy!"

After Gao Tingzhi heard the sound of drums, he knew that the ninth attack of the rebels had begun. After eight bloody battles, more than 3,000 people, there are only more than 1,200 people left, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive this ninth attack, and he is ready to sacrifice his life for the country.

Now that he suddenly heard Yan Yun's words, it was as if he had been struck by lightning, his expression seemed to be stunned, his voice trembled a little because of excitement, and said, "Yan Yun, Ah Feng, can you really kill Liang Cheng?"

Yan Yun responded: "No matter what the result is, now we have no other way but to take a risk like this." ”

Gao Tingzhi paused for a moment, nodded heavily, and said: "Okay, it can only be like this, the rebels are all attacking from the front mountain, Yan Yun, Ah Feng, the two of you led a team of five hundred people to bypass the back mountain, cut down the rebel commander's banner, and kill the thief Liang Cheng." ”

Yan Yun was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "General Gao, now we only have more than a thousand people, even if you take out half of our troops like this, is it too much?"

Gao Tingzhi hurriedly shook his head and said, "As long as Liang Cheng can be killed, the rebels will be as you said, like a collapsed mountain, and at that time, not only will the siege of Zhongmu be solved, but even the pressure on Zhengzhou City will be directly reduced a lot." ”

"General, look, the rebels are about to attack!" Just when Yan Yun was about to say something more, a personal soldier suddenly pointed to the dense figures under the mountain, and said in a trembling voice.

"Yan Yun, Ah Feng, I'll leave it to you. When he said this, Gao Tingzhi actually knelt down for the two of them directly.

Seeing this scene, Ah Feng, who had been silent, hurriedly stepped forward to help Gao Tingzhi up, and said, "General Gao, please get up quickly, I, Ah Feng, swear here, I will never bear the heavy trust!"

Gao Tingzhi nodded heavily, and said, "Okay, with the words of Ah Feng Shaoxia, even if I Gao Tingzhi dies here today, it will be worth it." ”

"You, you, and you follow me, break the siege, cut the flag, and kill the generals!" Yan Yun picked a few centurions who looked good, and together with Ah Feng, he led this five-hundred-hundred-strong squad towards the back mountain.

After Yan Yun and Ah Feng left, Gao Tingzhi immediately waved his sword and roared angrily: "Brothers, release arrows for me, release arrows......"

With Gao Tingzhi's shout, hundreds of feathered arrows whizzed out of the air and flew towards the rebels below the mountain, and nearly 100 people completely fell in a pool of blood in an instant.

"Quickly hide, hide, release arrows to cover ......" The commander of the rebels also roared angrily.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......

"General, be careful......" Just as a feathered arrow broke through the air and attacked Gao Tingzhi's life, a personal soldier suddenly pounced.

However, before his voice could fall, he snorted and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"The bows and arrows of the Ming army have been suppressed, charge me!" Seeing that the feather arrows on his side had occupied an absolute advantage, a commander waved the command flag and shouted angrily.

In an instant, more than 700 Ming troops, and 200 people have fallen here forever, leaving only less than 500 people behind, looking at the rebel figure who is about to be pressed by the black halfway up the mountain.

The corpses fell to the ground in all directions, blood gushing out, down a ditch, converging into a stream, and flowing down the hill with a clatter.

Seeing that the rebels had rushed to the halfway point of the mountain, only fifty or sixty paces away from them, Gao Tingzhi's blood-red eyes were about to be torn apart, and he shouted angrily at the top of his throat: "Give me arrows, release arrows......

"General, it's not good, it's not good, we've all run out of feather arrows, what should we do now?" Before Gao Tingzhi's words fell, a worse news had already rushed over.

With feathered arrows, they can also take advantage of their superiority and repel the rebels' attacks. Now that they have run out of arrows, it means that they will have to fight hand-to-hand combat with hundreds of thousands of rebels completely bare-chested. At that time, it means that these brothers will all stay here forever.

"General, what shall we do now?" asked a centurion with a trembling voice.

"General, we've done our best, or we'll ...... directly," the other centurion took over, his voice slightly apprehensive.

However, before he finished speaking, he saw Gao Tingzhi looking at him with blood-red eyes, and the blood-stained saber in his hand had begun to rise slightly.

Seeing this scene, the centurion hurriedly took a step back, and said in an extremely trembling voice: "General, I mean that we are like the second master of Guan and are in Cao Ying'......s heart."

"Whoosh!"

Before he could spit out his "Han" character, Gao Tingzhi's sharp sword had already broken through the void and slashed straight at his neck, and in an instant his whole body was like a puddle of mud, falling in a pool of blood.

"As a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, death is also a ghost of the Ming Dynasty, how can we betray our ancestors because of personal life and death!

"Charge me, kill......" At this time, the vanguard of the rebels was only twenty paces away from the top of the mountain, and the shouts of killing were still faintly heard.

Gao Tingzhi suddenly waved his sword, which was still dripping blood, like a crazy tiger, and roared loudly: "Brothers, rush with me, we Ming soldiers, even if we die, we will never be spineless ......."
