Seeing that Xie Tong was so fierce, the enemy had already cleverly retreated, but Xie Tong no longer gave the enemy this opportunity, he directly threw the steel knife, and the steel knife flew straight to the enemy in front of him.

Xie Tong used all the strength of his body, used the whirlwind footwork technique, flew up, stepped on the enemy's hilt, and then the power of the hilt followed in the air again and again, and finally crossed the encirclement.

In fact, Xie Tong's move was extremely dangerous, he was gambling, gambling with his life, he bet that the enemy would definitely swing his sword to block, only this opportunity could he use a peerless light skill and fly away from the encirclement. If the enemy does not proceed according to his ideas, he will be powerless to fight back in the face of the wolf-like enemy army.

Xie Tong took advantage of the power of this step to fly out sideways for more than three feet, and after landing, he didn't even look back, and flew towards the army of the cottage brothers.

At this moment, the people of the cottage have been completely defeated, after all, there is a huge difference in strength, and the other party is a regular army, and the people of the cottage are a rabble who have not been on the battlefield, and it is not easy to resist until now, Xie Tong shouted, "Retreat to the fourth barrier!"

The fourth barrier also has fifty archers, which, if timely, can be used to repel enemy attacks with the help of these fifty men.

The crowd couldn't support it for a long time and fled backwards.

Xie Tong picked up a horse chopping knife, he was at the rear of the rout, fighting and fleeing, not allowing the other party to have the opportunity to encircle and annihilate him again, being surrounded by thousands of troops and horses, it was indeed terrifying.

From the first barrier to the fourth barrier, it was only a thousand paces, but the escape was very far, almost every forty or fifty steps. Xie Tong was about to stop and wrestle with the enemy, and by the time he got into the fourth barrier, he was already tired and overwhelmed, and sat down.

The archers finally exerted their might, and the retreating soldiers also picked up their bows and arrows and fired at the enemy who rushed up from the mountainside. This arrow shot down, temporarily suppressed the pace of the enemy's attack, because the enemy archers did not go forward, this drum was difficult to break through this last line of defense, the enemy dropped dozens of corpses, and retreated.

The trap trap and the three barriers that Xie Tong racked his brains to arrange were scattered by this round of attacks, and the first three barriers totaled four hundred brothers, and only one hundred and fifty or sixty people escaped alive to the last line of defense. The rest were all killed. The enemy's casualties were obviously much larger than theirs, those who were killed by bows and arrows, those who fell into traps, and those who fought in the charge were conservatively estimated to be about six or seven hundred, which was already more than twice as many as them, but this was nothing at all for Pang Shigu. After all, he still has a lot of troops that have not participated in the war.

The brothers admired Xie Tong very much, from the beginning to the end of the battle. Xie Tong was the first to rush forward, and the last to retreat, always standing in the forefront, how could such heroes who were not afraid of life and death not be worshiped by these brothers who were born of bandits, including Fan Zhai. There had never been such a leader, and everyone gathered in front of Xie Tong, waiting for his orders.

Xie Tong only felt extremely painful all over his body, and the round of fighting just now had exhausted the true qi in his whole body. At this moment, he was covered in blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was his blood or the blood of the enemy, and after everyone's inspection, there were more than ten large and small wounds all over his body, although it was only a skin injury, but it was still a hot pain. Xie Tong didn't care to check his injuries, and said, "The enemy will fight back in two hours, everyone be ready to meet the enemy!"

Everyone fell silent, these people had just escaped death, and once again faced an enemy several times their size, and had lost the courage to fight.

Xie Tong is actually very confused, this is the first time he led his troops to fight, although the scale is not large, but the tragedy of the battlefield is not inferior at all, his carefully arranged defensive belt only blocked the first wave of the enemy's impact, and more than half of the casualties, it can be said that it is difficult to complete the grand goal of blocking the enemy army for two days, more precisely, it is extremely unrealistic, the enemy army is not comparable to these rabble in terms of number and morale. And Xie Tong almost lost his life because of the risk, and at this moment, he still has palpitations.

Duan Yuanjing said, "Lord Xie, our army is less than one hundred and fifty people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the next attack of the enemy!"

The meaning of Duan Yuanjing's words is very clear, that is, he advocates evacuating here, but he didn't say it explicitly, but Xie Tong heard it in his ears, but it was something else, it was indeed too difficult to fight, and it was even more difficult to win the battle, but at this moment, they gave up their positions, and if they handed over all the backs of Yi Wudaunt and others to the enemy, these light cavalry troops would soon be able to catch up with Yi Wudaunt's transport team, and the consequences would be unimaginable, and he would have to hold on for another day. He shook his head and said, "You are all my good brothers, to be honest, who doesn't want to live, after all, you can enjoy life by living, but brothers, don't forget, there are still many brothers waiting for us to go to the palace, if we leave, they will be killed by the army of the Yellow Nest, we must not let the brothers take risks." ”

"But general, our army is less than 150 people, and the enemy army has at least more than 2,000 people. Please also ask the general to think long-term. “

Xie Tong said in his heart, he had to use a killer move.

The crowd suddenly exclaimed, it turned out that the enemy army was clearing the barricades. Xie Tong saw it clearly, if the roadblocks were gone, the enemy's light cavalry could directly charge head-on, and this last line of defense would become meaningless, and I was afraid that the rout would be even faster.

Duan Yuanjing said, "My lord, let's retreat! Leave Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, it's too late to leave at this moment!"

Xie Tong thought about it for a while, he didn't have a chance of winning, the enemy would definitely not dare to rashly attack before removing the barricades, and his biggest advantage was that the enemy did not know the layout of the forces on this side. Xie Tong thought of the dead branches all over the mountains, if he could lure the enemy army to go deeper, set fire to the dead branches and set fire to the mountain, he could defeat the enemy army, but this trick was too damaging and could not be used as a last resort.

Seeing that Xie Tong was stunned, Duan Yuanjing gently patted him on the shoulder and said, "My lord, my lord, time is pressing!"

Xie Tong came back to his senses and said, "Brothers, I know that everyone is a flesh-and-blood person, and I think it's not worth dying like this, but Xie has a clever plan, which can make everyone retreat with all their bodies, and can greatly block the enemy!"

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they hurriedly asked, "Speak, my lord!"

Xie Tong glanced at the enemy soldiers moving the barricades at the bottom of the mountain and said, "Prepare spirits and fire folds, select twenty brothers with good skills, and follow me down the mountain!"

Duan Yuanjing's thinking was quick, and he knew the meaning of the song when he heard the strings, and immediately understood Xie Tong's purpose, and he asked carefully, "Do you want to set fire to the mountain!"

Xie Tong nodded, and continued, "The rest of the people are waiting to guard the fourth line of defense, and after the fire breaks out in the rear of the enemy army, they will also ignite the fire here, and after the fire is fierce, retreat to the back mountain and pursue the large army!"

Duan Yuanjing said, "My lord, you stay in this last line of defense! Yuanjing is willing to lead twenty brothers down the mountain to set fire!"

How could Xie Tong not know Duan Yuanjing's intentions, he led five hundred brothers to block the army of Huangchao, and charged in front and cut off the enemy behind, which had deeply touched every brother present, and everyone regarded him as the new commander, and all admired his courage and insight.

Xie Tong said, "Brother Duan, it's up to Xie to go down the mountain! You hold your position here, don't worry! I'll come back safe and sound! Time is running out, hurry up and prepare spirits and fire folds."

When the enemy dismantled the second barricade, Xie Tong led twenty sturdy brothers to sneak down the mountain, they hung steel knives on their waists, carried spirits on their backs, made a large circle from the left, and secretly lurked in a small bush.

The enemy had cleared all the obstacles, leaving only the fourth line of defense to break through, but in Pang Shigu's opinion, as long as his cavalry and horses rushed forward, everything was not to be worried.

Pang Shigu Zema walked into the dense forest and said in a loud voice, "Brothers, deal with these capricious thieves, you can't show mercy to your subordinates, kill them all, and leave no one alive!"

Xie Tong and the others listened to it in their hearts, and their hearts were filled with monstrous shock, he couldn't have imagined that this Pang Shigu was so ruthless, thinking of the night when he guarded the Wenhua Palace with him in Yangzhou, this person had already revealed his murderous ambitions, he was not only narrow-minded, but also vicious, but with Zhu Wen's person, how could he reuse such a cruel and vicious person, is it so ruthless on the battlefield? Before, he couldn't bear to set fire to the mountain, but when he heard Pang Shigu's words, he had put away his pity, and this battle would definitely make Pang Shigu pay a painful price.

Seeing that the army was well prepared, Pang Shigu said, "Brothers, rush!" Thousands of light horsemen rushed up directly, and organized a wave of infantry to cover up from both flanks of the mountain road. When he landed, the enemy swarmed towards the only remaining line of defense like a tide, and Xie Tong, who saw it, was sweating.

The disparity in force is too great.

Duan Yuanjing saw the enemy army entering the firing range, and hurriedly shouted, "Brothers, shoot me."

The archers had already set up their bows and shot arrows, and the bamboo arrows flew down from the hill with a whistling sound, and immediately turned the light cavalry in the front row on their backs, but immediately there were follow-up cavalry to follow, on the contrary, the infantry on both wings advanced extremely fast, because they were not suppressed by the archers, and soon formed a situation of encirclement on three sides, and the form of the defensive line was already precarious.

Duan Yuanjing pulled out his steel knife and shouted, "Brothers, come and kill one by one, come and kill two and kill a pair, avenge the dead brothers, kill!" Although the momentum is much smaller, the pride is still undiminished.

The enemy rushed into the line and fought with the remaining defenders.

Xie Tong was waiting for the opportunity to set fire, but the entrance to the forest was full of dense enemies, and he would definitely be seen if he rushed out, his twenty people were not enough for the other party to stuff his teeth, but seeing that the defense line could no longer hold on, he hurriedly rushed out of the bushes, lit the fire, smashed the spirits, and lit it directly, and these twenty brothers also followed his example, and lit the mountain one after another.
