The night was like paint, and there were muffled cannons from time to time on the edge of the sky, and flashes of light pierced the night, this was the dark night of war, and this was a dark night full of souls.

In the wilderness, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded, but I saw a black shadow shuttling through the night, it was Xue Lingxiang riding a horse, leading the team to gallop in the dark night, heading to Chimu Fortress.

Akagi Fortress, which is a natural strategic fortress, is a valley passage, and the entrance of the passage is surrounded by a giant tree, so that it becomes a separate stronghold and a restricted passage port.

Xue Lingxiang stopped on the hillside next to the Chimu Fortress, and it could be seen that the fortress was in flames, and a large number of barbarians outside the fortress were attacking. In the darkness of the night, catapults cut through arcs to hurl burning boulders at the fortress, and under the huge wooden walls, huge wild elephants and brutes could almost reach the top of the walls.

Under such a crisis, Akagi Fortress has been able to hold on until now. Xue Lingxiang led the troops to fight for not a day or two, and the leaders had full experience and were very accurate in judging the military strength.

She estimated the combat power on both sides, but she had a long heart, and said to Qi Shaojin next to her: "You leave three hundred horsemen here to wait, how can there be anything wrong, you can also ask for help!"

Now she has more than 500 cavalry, and the combat power of the elite cavalry Xue family army has doubled, and there are less than 1,000 barbarians attacking the city, and there are 200 elite cavalry plus the defenders in the fortress, which should be said to be completely enough for rescue.

Qi Shaojin's judgment of military strength was also quite accurate, he knew that two hundred cavalry was enough, but he was still worried about Xue Lingxiang, he said: "I'll go, you stay here to observe!"

Xue Lingxiang said unhappily: "This little battle, don't you still believe me." In fact, give me a hundred fine horses, and I will be able to relieve the siege of Akagi!"

Qi Shaojin didn't have much to say, looking at the situation, it was not a difficult battle.

"Drive!" Xue Lingxiang grabbed the horse's belly and took the lead in charging out: "The first and second teams follow me!"

Two hundred elite horsemen charged away from the hillside with Xue Lingxiang, the cavalry was as sharp as a steel knife, and the sound of rumbling horses' hooves shook the earth. When the brutes heard the sound of horses' hooves in the night, they panicked, and by the time they saw the people, it was too late. The speed of the cavalry was lightning fast. When they emerged from the darkness, the snow-white saber appeared on their necks at the same time.

Ahhh

With a few screams, the Batu brute had realized that the cavalry was coming, and they cried out. The soldiers around were ready to defend themselves against the cavalry. Then. From the catapult rushed a long line of spearmen. The pikemen are the nemesis of the cavalry, and when they encounter the opposing spear under the strong impact of the cavalry, their impact will be transformed into danger to themselves. Even when it comes to stable battles, the spear has an irreplaceable advantage.

The appearance of many pikemen put Xue Lingxiang's cavalry in a dilemma, the cavalry advantage is flexible speed, and now the spears erected by the forest will be poked into a sieve when they rush into the group of guns.

Qi Shaojin, who was on the hillside, saw that so many pikemen appeared from nowhere, and he also knew that the situation was not good. He immediately grabbed the back of the horse, rushed down the hillside with three hundred elite horsemen to rescue, rushed to the bottom of the mountain, but saw the pikemen coming on, the opposite side of the gun forest was dense, the spear in the dark was even more dangerous, straight straight over will hit the tip of the spear and be poked to death.

The experienced Xue Lingxiang quickly judged the situation and made the most effective response plan, she ordered in the dark: "Retreat to the fortress and use the archers to deal with the pikemen!"

The best way to deal with pikemen is naturally the bow and arrow, because pikemen have no shield, and in front of archers, pikemen are completely a live target.

Two hundred elite cavalry quickly approached the fortress and came to the city wall, the cavalry behind was broken, very dangerous, and several elite cavalry were already poked off their horses by the swarming pikemen. In this moment, the Xue family's army had already lost twenty or thirty people with two hundred elite cavalry.

Xue Lingxiang shouted towards the walled city: "Open the door quickly, we are the Xue family army!"

The soldiers on the city wall looked down, and it was determined that it was the Xue family general who came to the rescue, and immediately shouted at the soldiers above to hang the door. The bulky and huge, charred black Saimen rose up, and Xue Lingxiang quickly retreated inside with the cavalry.

Rushing into the fortress, Xue Lingxiang jumped off his horse and shouted at the soldiers on the city wall: "Archers, get rid of the pikemen!"

But the soldiers on the city wall did not move, and the hanging gate was not lowered. Suddenly, an ominous premonition hit, and Xue Lingxiang shouted: "It's not good, this is a trap, everyone be careful!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the archers on the city wall turned to the fortress in unison, and there was a rain of arrows whizzing, and the Xue family army suddenly heard a miserable scream, and the pikemen behind had already rushed into the fortress.

This fortress is completely a trap, and the siege of the city outside, and the defenders inside, are all Batu troops, just to attract reinforcements to throw themselves into the net.

At this moment of great urgency, Xue Lingxiang shouted and ordered: "All dismount, use a saber!"

So Xue Jiajun listened to the leader and abandoned the horse, pulled out a dagger-like saber from the sheath, Xue Lingxiang quickly picked up a shield on the ground, and rushed under the wooden door one by one, preventing the pikemen outside from continuing to enter, and her subordinates also followed her to the wooden door.

The other Xue family troops were also well-trained, and quickly cleared the pikemen who entered the fortress, and under the rain of arrows on the city wall, the casualties were extremely huge.

The soldiers on the city wall shouted excitedly at the barbarians outside the fortress: "It's the Xue family's army, it's the Xue family's army, hurry up and go back to report, this time you've made a lot of money!"

In the face of huge casualties, the Xue family army still slaughtered on the city wall, slaughtering on the city wall, and in the darkness those archers screamed and rolled down under the city wall. Recapture the city wall, immediately came to the wooden gate organ, when Xue Lingxiang and others were about to be unable to withstand the city gate, a soldier of the Xue family army cut the rope, and with a bang, the huge wooden gate slipped down and blocked the fortress again.

Xue Lingxiang sat weakly on the ground, covered in bloodstains, and didn't know if it was her own or the enemy's. Outside the wooden gate, the crash of a giant elephant was heard with a bang, and the siege outside had resumed again.

A soldier came over and helped Xue Lingxiang up, and Xue Lingxiang covered the wound on her shoulder and struggled to stand up.

Looking inside the fortress. Covered with corpses of the Xue family's army, Xue Lingxiang bit her lower lip, during the day, these soldiers were still laughing together. Tears are not to be shed at this time, they are to be sacrificed after the blood of the enemy has been drained.

She stepped on the city wall with heavy steps and a blank face, sparks flying, boulders roaring, and a roaring brute army swarming beyond the wall.

She said coldly: "Report the casualties!"

"Minor injuries twenty-one. Seriously injured fifteen. Death. Seventy. Remainder. One hundred and four!" the soldier lowered his head slowly.

Xue Lingxiang's eyes burst out with anger, and he slammed his fist on the stake.

But I saw that outside the city, there were more than a thousand barbarian soldiers. There were more than five hundred pikemen in ambush, and hundreds of other wolf cavalry, including a witch doctor.

Qi Shaojin's three hundred elite cavalry was in a hurry on the periphery but there was no way, just the more than five hundred pikemen, it had already made his cavalry unable to exert his power, and even more wolf riding, this is simply a nightmare for cavalry, the horse wolf is the ultimate nemesis of the horse, in front of the horse wolf, even the war horse will be out of control, and a bite of the horse wolf is to hit the horse's neck directly, and it will kill him directly.

Qi Shaojin was anxious in his heart, but there was nothing he could do, only to ride a horse around but not rush in.

The huge siege officially kicked off, this time the siege, not like the previous siege, but the real siege, catapults whirring, huge burning stones fell violently, smashed on the wooden wall and shook people can not stand firmly.

For example, more than twice as many siege troops appeared, the giant elephant howled and charged, the barbarians above could climb the city wall with a jump, and the other barbarians also set up ladders to attack the city.

The training of the Xue family army is diverse, a cavalry can change a set of equipment to become another class, pick up the bow and arrow on the ground, shoot wildly below, and the rest of the people and the barbarians who climbed the city wall tore and killed.

In the distance, the witch doctor stands on the body of a giant elephant with an altar on its back, flags fluttering, four skulls hanging from four horns, and various fearful patterns tattooed on its upper body. The powder scattered into the air burned into a fireball under the torch, and a variety of incantations were recited in the mouth. But I saw that a group of soldiers suddenly had red eyes, howling like a wild beast in their mouths, letting the bow and arrow shoot on their bodies but not knowing the pain, climbing the city wall and cutting off their arms as if it was not their own.

Even Xue Lingxiang felt the horror, the city wall was defeated one after another, and the number of the Xue family's army was decreasing sharply, and he didn't know how long this fortress would last.

In another quiet woods in the middle of the night, only unknown birds howled.
