"Sir, there's movement over there." The guard guarding Pei Ji lowered his voice.

Although Chu Huan handed over the governor-general's Imperial Guard to Pei Ji, and once wanted to justify his name and let Pei Ji be the commander of the Imperial Guard, Pei Ji never agreed, and only said that he would choose the commander after the Imperial Guard was trained.

Chu Huan's persuasion failed several times, so that's all. Although the name is not right, the words are not right, but when the Imperial Guard was formed from the first day, it was Pei Ji who was in charge, and everyone in the army knew that Pei Ji was the real leader. However, all the generals including Xu Shao respected Pei Ji very much.

Everyone in the army also called Pei Ji "Sir".

Pei Ji caressed his long beard and smiled lightly. This was what he expected. The bandits were trapped in the Sunset Village, and they would never sit still. Now that the officers and soldiers are attacking the villages, General Qiu must be worried that after the main force of the officers and soldiers captures the villages, what will happen? It would be difficult to break out of the Sunset Village at that time, so Pei Ji had expected that before the main forces of the officers and soldiers took down the villages, the bandits trapped on the mountain would inevitably choose to break out from the road down the Sunset Village.

The army formation was at the foot of a flat mountain, still some distance away from the Sunset Village.

The sound of the horn sounded, and the soldiers immediately lifted their spirits. They knew that the battle was imminent, and they were all ready to fight. Everyone's eyes were on Sunset Village. After a while, they saw that there seemed to be a dark cloud in the darkness. With teeth and claws, he rushed down the mountain at an extremely fast speed.

"Retreat!" Pei Ji waved his hand, and a soldier next to him immediately issued a military order. Thousands of soldiers, except for two rows of archers who were still guarding the wooden fence, the other soldiers actually retreated.

The whole army marched neatly and orderly.

The dark clouds floated down from the mountain, and they gathered bigger and bigger, forming a large black area. The generals of the Chu army had already seen clearly that the dark clouds floating from the mountain were the bandits who were about to break out.

The gangsters in Calabash Village didn't make a sound, they held knives, guns and shields, and many people led their horses, but they didn't rush over immediately. They saw the semi-curved wooden fence of the siege, and saw the archers behind the wooden fence waiting in full force. For a while, they didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing, deathly silent.

The gangsters stared fiercely. At this time, it was no longer a reward for meritorious service, but to save their own lives. In order to survive, they could only fight to the death.

Among the bandits, General Qiu was already riding on a jet-black war horse. The horse was very tall and strong, and anyone who knew horses could tell at a glance that General Qiu's mount was a pure Xiliang horse. , and among the Xiliang horses, this is also one of the best horses in a thousand.

He was wearing a mask, his eyes were as sharp as a vulture's, and he was wearing a black battle armor at the moment. His sturdy figure and the strong horse matched each other very well, and he was very conspicuous among the crowd. .

He holds the rein in his left hand, and a weapon made of iron in his right hand. The weapon is two or three meters long. The front end is a sharp spear point, but behind the spear point is a flat round iron hammer. Weapons are very rare, they can both stab and smash, but to use this kind of weapon, the requirements are naturally extremely high, first of all, you must have strong strength.

Behind General Qiu, there was actually Mr. Hei sitting, and the two of them took advantage of the same horse. At this critical moment, General Qiu did not forget Mr. Hei, and even brought him by his side to break out of the siege together with him.

The gangsters had already clenched their weapons, waiting for General Qiu's order to rush to kill them immediately.

Pei Ji had already stood up from the chair at this time, holding a long stick in his hand, looking at the dark cloud with a calm expression.

General Qiu slowly raised his arm, pointed the hammer gun in his hand forward, and said sharply: "Brothers, we have no way out, this time we have to fight to the death, if we fail, we will be benevolent, kill!"

He was full of energy, his voice shook the whole field, before he finished his words, the gangsters roared angrily, and some desperate gangsters who were not afraid of death rushed forward first, and the gangsters behind immediately followed, and a cloud of black clouds overwhelmed the sky.

These thousands of bandits poured out like a flood breaking a dike.

Although the number of officers and soldiers was not inferior to that of the other party, but the group of bandits shouted so ferociously, and the momentum was so strong, many soldiers were secretly surprised.

Pei Ji, on the other hand, was calm and calm. Seeing the bandits charging towards him, he moved his lips lightly and uttered a word: "Shoot!"

As soon as the military order was issued, the horn sounded.

Amidst the sound of the horn, the archers who used the wooden fence as a barrier had already drawn their bows and shot furiously. Hundreds of sharp arrows gathered in the air, like a sharp knife, piercing fiercely towards the dark cloud.

These hundreds of sharp arrows are like a heavy hammer hitting the water waves, and a sickle crossing the wheat waves. Amid the sound of the wind-like arrows, the bandits turned on their backs and howled miserably.

This round of arrows caused a crack to be torn open in the group of bandits in the dark cloud, and they dispersed in a panic. Dozens of people had already fallen to the ground. Amidst the roar, he rushed over like crazy again.

Among this group of bandits, some were soldiers from the Vanguard Battalion of the Northwest Army. They were dispatched to the frontier to serve as cannon fodder. Belongs to Chu Huan's regular army.

Although the arrows were raining like rain, the group of bandits quickly stabilized their formation. The bandits holding shields rushed in front, and the bandits holding knives followed behind, rushing over like a torrent.

Seeing the group of bandits approaching, Pei Ji gave an order, and the spearmen stepped forward quickly, while the archers retreated tacitly, keeping the distance from the bandits, still shooting arrows continuously.

The sprinting speed of the group of bandits was indeed not slow, and soon many people rushed to the edge of the wooden fence. Although it was only temporarily built, thousands of officers and soldiers built the wooden fence in a short period of time. A barrier was built, and the wooden fence was as high as a person. It was nailed to the ground and stabilized with stones. When the bandits rushed over, the pikemen had already stabbed their spears mercilessly out from the middle of the wooden fence in an orderly manner.

The spears were neatly arranged like poisonous snakes. The gangsters who were close to the wooden fence were pierced through a large row by the spears in an instant. The gangsters in the back had to fight to the death in order to save their lives. come up.

Although a small part of the bandits in Gourd Village came from the vanguard battalion of the Northwest Army, most of them are composed of bandits. They were just ordinary people before. They have made great efforts to carry out military training, but they are still far from being able to achieve the coordination and unity of the regular army and the combat quality of the regular army.

Most of the officers and soldiers led by Chu Huan have gone through the battle against Xiliang, and many of them crawled out of the dead, so it can be said that they are brave.

The long spear stabs out, then pulls out fiercely, and then continues to stab forward, repeating such actions, for these well-trained officers and soldiers, it is really a breeze.

In just a moment, dead bodies were already piled up beside the wooden fence.

After the archers opened the distance, arrows kept coming. There were spears in front and arrows in the back. Thousands of bandits were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Under the ruthless slaughter of spears and arrows, they howled and howled.

It's just that the gangsters are many people after all, although there are countless casualties, they still broke through the wooden fence under the bloody struggle for survival. There was a sound of rumbling footsteps, and I saw that the officers and soldiers of the rear team had completed their formation, forming a half-arc like a moon, and they were approaching here in unison.

Just now when the gangsters attacked the wooden fence, Pei Ji ordered the soldiers to retreat and opened a distance, and it was within this short period of time that the second army formation was ready.

These are shield soldiers with shields in their hands. Chu Huan's family is not well-off. Apart from the batch of strategic materials he took back from Dongfangxin, he doesn't have much resources himself.

All the shields in the armory were taken out this time, and most of the shields were transferred to Pei Ji's side, so Pei Ji's side has a lot of shield soldiers, and the half-moon-shaped shield soldiers are connected together, like The moon built with copper walls and iron walls is murderous.

The shield soldiers who were fighting in the front saw the rear team coming up, fighting and retreating, and the bandits chased after them, but the shield soldiers had already rushed up. When the bandits caught up, the shields were closed again. They pushed forward and slashed forward with their swords. Those pikemen who retreated formed an formation behind the shieldmen, and when they saw the right opportunity, they thrust their spears forward.

Originally, the group of bandits broke through the two wooden fences, which boosted their morale, but under the force of the shield array, they retreated back.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the neighing of war horses and the rumbling sound, and the group of bandits heard the sound coming from behind. When I looked back, I saw only a cavalry team formed by nearly a hundred war horses. General Qiu in iron armor, with a horse named Wulong on his crotch, really looked like a roaring dragon, the bandits hurriedly dodged, waiting for the cavalry to charge over.

It turned out that when the bandits were fighting forward, General Qiu had found an opportunity to gather the horses brought down from the mountain together. Calabash Village had already trained a cavalry, and these cavalry jumped on their horses. In a short period of time, a cavalry team has been formed, and quickly began to attack forward.

Although this cavalry team was small in number, it was extremely imposing. Seeing it from afar, Pei Ji frowned.

General Qiu took the lead and rushed in front of the shield soldier. Before the horse arrived, the hammer gun in his hand had already smashed hard. Rou Jiang, the oolong horse hissed and stepped forward. The left and right pikemen and shield swordsmen rushed towards General Qiu. , All the soldiers around were either killed or injured under the sweep of his hammer gun.

Pei Ji caressed his blue beard, and sighed softly: "General Qiu has a great reputation, so he really is not an ordinary person...!" In just a moment, General Qiu had advanced more than ten meters forward, with the hammer and spear in his hand. Smashing, extremely brave, at this time it really looks like a tiger in a pack of wolves.
