Chapter 158: Fighting for Life

General Liang obeyed his orders, and was about to open his mouth to explain, but was interrupted by Hou Jian, the envoy of the prison army: "Reinforcements have arrived, they are well-equipped, you should organize another assault immediately." Strive to end the fighting before dawn......"

"Yes. General Liang turned around and picked up the big knife, jumped off the bluestone, personally supervised the formation, and led the soldiers to launch another assault.

This time, because of the help of the newly arrived musket team, the vanguard of the Ming army advanced rapidly, and the two sides exchanged fire for two or three rounds, and the beachhead was seized.

The offensive extended inland.

As soon as the men on the wall appeared, they were subjected to heavy fire from the musketeers.

Although this firearm is slow to load, has a limited range, and is not very accurate in its impact point, it is fired by a group, with glittering fires and gunsmoke, and a large lineup and a striking momentum. So it still has a lot of deterrent effect on the water bandits above!

Feathered arrows flew, and the firelight flickered.

Bullets slithered in the air.

The Ming army swarmed up, paving a road with sacks and planks on the soft and muddy sand, and the follow-up troops followed this road, crossed the beachhead, and continued to advance. Seize advantage of the terrain.

The water bandits on the wall of the wall resisted stubbornly, throwing huge stones downwards as they fired arrows.

One by one, the advancing soldiers pounced.

There was a loud bang, the earth and rocks took off, and the wall was blown out of a gap by the shells. The Ming army crossed out of the position and took advantage of the situation to attack, but it was shot down by the rain of arrows above.

The Flying General and the Iron Centipede had red eyes, raised their swords to supervise the battle, and their voices were hoarse. The bandits poured barrels of tung oil from above, and then ignited them with rockets, and the soldiers under the wall were suddenly caught in flames. Countless people were on fire all over their bodies, and their heads were buzzing with fever. Screams mingled with howls.

The Ming army, which was not exposed to the flames, immediately retreated.

Although half of the walled wall collapsed, due to the desperate fighting of the water bandits, the Ming army still could not take half a step forward.

General Liang brandished a broadsword, shouted and cheered, and suppressed the position, only to stabilize the retreating position of the Ming army.

Just when the two sides were tense and confrontational, a sky-high fire suddenly ignited in the water village behind them, and then there was a violent explosion!

Everyone turned their heads in horror, but what they saw was the spread of terror in the red of the sky.

The burning flames of Kulala illuminated the surface of the lake near the shore with blood red, and there was a hell of a nose!

Groups of stragglers bravely ran out of the stockade.

The Flying General paused with his long knife and asked sharply, "What's going on, what's going on?" Well, can any of you tell me!"

After a while, some soldiers who escaped from the water village went up to the wall, saw the flying general, knelt down on one leg, and reported: "The Ming army divided its troops to attack and has captured the old camp. ”

"What's the fire about?"

"Not only did they set fire to the ammunition depot and seize the camp, but they also cut off our rear route!"

"Nonsense, you dare to bewitch the hearts of the army!" General Feitian kicked down the water bandit on the opposite side with one kick, waved his hand and made up for it, and cut it into two pieces.

He raised his hand again and shouted: "Whoever dares to be afraid of cowardice and retreat, this is his end!"

There were several loud noises under the city, and the wooden gate of the walled wall was blown down by a gunpowder bag.

Hundreds of Ming troops jumped out of bunkers, or climbed the earthen wall or walked through the gate of the village, and the tide poured in.

In one fell swoop, they attacked the walled wall.

The walled wall was breached, and the old camp was occupied, and there were no tiles left, and many water bandits had lost their fighting spirit. As soon as the Ming army came in, they threw away their armor and fled for their lives.

The flying general rushed forward, picked up a 278-pound broadsword, slashed horizontally and vertically, and resisted desperately.

At this time, three Ming soldiers climbed into behind the low wall, holding spears in their hands, and when they saw the enemy, they screamed, shook their wrists, and stabbed at him with their guns.

The flying general did not answer, leaned away, stretched out his hand to divide the mane of the wild horse, knocked the steel knife left and right, swung his two guns and grabbed a knife, and stabbed the horse-faced Ming army in the middle.

Seeing this, the other two soldiers echoed each other and aimed at the target, and the two spears did not leave the chest and abdomen of the flying general.

The flying general was not in a hurry, and retreated with a horizontal knife to avoid it, and the spear pierced into the air. He took advantage of the momentum to kick the short wall, jumped up, and slashed the soldier on the right in half with a wave of his hand from top to bottom. The remaining one saw that the situation was not good, and did not dare to fight, so he turned around and ran. The flying general did not relent, his body did not fall to the ground with a knife, and he turned in the air and kicked him in the chest.

The bodies of the Ming soldiers flew two feet and fell into a pile of burning fires under the wall.

The hands and feet twitched, and after a while, the kung fu burned into black charcoal.

The flying general kicked away the broken bricks and tiles, and was about to walk away, when suddenly there was a crackling explosion, and white smoke rose up. There was a sharp pain in his chest, and blood gushed out like a spring!

He raised his head in surprise, and there were more than a dozen Ming soldiers standing five or six feet away, lined up, with three-eyed firearms in their hands. Wisps of smoke swirled around the muzzle of the gun.

The flying general still didn't believe it, and stretched out his hand to throw the big broadsword in his hand hard!

A column of blood on his chest was marked three feet away.

A soldier was cut down with a broadsword.

The Flying General also used the last of his strength at this time, grabbed helplessly with both hands, and fell on the masonry rubble with a thud.

The Ming army continued to advance and went deep into the center of the island.

The voices of the people were noisy and the shouting was incessant. The fire grew louder and brighter, and half of the east side was lit up!

The battle is in full swing here, with corpses piled up and flesh and blood everywhere. But on the other side of Dongting Xishan Island, it is a completely different scene.

The sky is full of stars.

The moon crept into the clouds and was temporarily hidden, but the surrounding peaks accentuated its darkness and mystery.

Yuping sat on a smooth stone, looked up at Zhu Yichen and a few people around him, and sighed faintly: "Say goodbye to Dongting Island in Taihu Lake today, drifting north and south, in the future, do we still have a home?"

"Absolutely. Zhu Yichen's blood rushed up, patted his heart, and said, "As long as we are together, as long as we find the legendary large number of treasures, where in the world is not home?"

Yuping looked at the withered and thin old man next to her, wearing a gray robe, and couldn't help but laugh: "This person is actually worth so much money." But it doesn't look inconspicuous at all, and it's even a little obscene. It's unbelievable......"

"This is a man who should not be disfigured. Zhu Yichen said, took off the water hyacinth from his body, and handed it to his two subordinates.

"You two have been with me for a long time, and you have always been loyal and dedicated. This time, you can exchange this Xiong Dajing in the prison and steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, and the two of you have made a great contribution. I won't forget it - come, take a sip of tea first, and when we get out of Taihu Lake and find those treasures, everyone will share it equally, and everyone will have a share!"

The subordinates nodded: "Thank you, the second master." ”

One took the water hyacinth, swallowed a few mouthfuls, and handed it to the other.

It was also a long night walk, and I was thirsty. Therefore, he was unceremoniously, unscrewed the stopper, and poured a few large mouthfuls in succession. wiped his mouth again, exhaled happily, and turned around to return the gourd to Zhu Yichen. (To be continued.) )
