The breeze roars the rivers and lakes

Lin Yu and A Feng's progress in Xishan Town can be said to be smooth sailing, but it is not so smooth for Zhang Qiaobalu. Ming Zhong and Zhou Shuai's desperate resistance made them a lot of brains.

"Brothers, rush for me, rush for me!" Baru kept shouting at the top of his voice.

Accompanied by his shouting, tens of thousands of soldiers rushed up like a billowing tide.

Although the Chaoyang official road is an official road, the word official road is only compared to the mountain trails. The road is only a little easier to walk than the rugged mountain trails, and it is slightly wider by the way, so Although Zhang Qiaobalu's soldiers numbered [-], they were very difficult to deploy. If the army could not be deployed, it would be difficult for them to exert their absolute superiority in numbers.

But even so, the life of Ming Zhong and Zhou Shuai is not much better.Baru is a reckless man, but Zhang Qiao, the chief forward, is an excellent general.Under his command, 2 soldiers, with [-] people as a wave, were divided into five waves, which rushed forward one wave after another like a tide.

Neither Ming Zhong nor Zhou Shuai had the slightest chance to breathe, and the number of [-] soldiers under him was also decreasing sharply. In less than three hours of bloody battle, there were only a few thousand people left. More than half of them were killed and injured, and the battle was fierce. Shuai is only seen in his life.

"General, a new round of rebel attacks has started again. We only have a few thousand people left, and the gunpowder for bows and arrows is almost used up. What should we do now, please tell the general clearly?" A soldier looked anxious ran to report.

Mingzhong's face was full of dust and smoke, looking at the dead and wounded soldiers, his brows were tightly frowned, instead of directly answering the soldiers' words, he asked instead: "How many hours have passed now?"

The soldier replied: "Report to the general, it's almost four hours."

Zhou Shuai was shot in the arm by an arrow, and ran over in a panic, saying, "General Mingzhong, we only have five or six thousand people left now, what should we do, should we retreat?"

Ming Zhong paused for a moment, and said: "If the Major General and the others haven't arrived at the designated place according to the original plan, if we retreat, Zhang Qiaobalu's rebels will fully suppress them. In this way, not only General Tong will have It's dangerous, even the Yuanguan Pass may be lost."

Zhou Shuai clenched his fists tightly and said word by word: "Then we will fight to the death!"

Ming Zhong nodded heavily, and said: "The matter has come to this, and we can only fight to the death!"

"Ming Zhong, this general thinks you are loyal and brave. If I use it for me, I promise not to hurt you, how about it?" Zhang Qiao shouted loudly.

Ming Zhong replied loudly: "Thank you, General Zhang, for your kindness. Since General Zhang has said everything, Ming Zhong is Zhongyong, if I surrender to you, then I am sorry for the word Zhongyong."

Zhang Qiao heard the big screen and said: "General Ming Zhong, this statement is wrong. The ancients said that those who know current affairs are heroes. I think you should understand this after all!"

Ming Zhong replied loudly: "I only know that if you eat the king's salary, you will be loyal to the king. Otherwise, if you bite back, how is it different from a beast?"

Zhang Qiao is not a person who is idle, so he can naturally hear the implication of Ming Zhong's words, his expression immediately became angry, and he shouted: "Ming Zhong, it seems that you are determined to fight against this general?"

Ming Zhong responded: "Ming Zhong is only performing his duties, guarding his homeland, whoever dares to invade, no matter who they are, will be punished!"

Zhang Qiao snorted angrily, and said, "Okay, then let you see how powerful this general is!"

"Come on, set up the formation!" With Zhang Qiao's order, six high-end horses unleashed three red-clothed cannons, arranged in a triangle.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Shuai was taken aback, and said, "As an afterthought!"

Ming Zhong was stunned when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "General Zhou, what is an afterthought?"

Zhou Shuai frowned, and replied: "This is the battle plan developed by Zhang Qiao. There are horses pulling red cannons to fight."

Hearing this, Ming Zhong obviously didn't understand, and with a puzzled expression on his face, he asked: "The horse is pulling the cannon in red, what kind of battle plan is this?"

Zhou Shuai frowned tightly again, and said: "General Mingzhong, I won't be able to explain this to you for a while, so hurry up and tell the brothers to find a huge rock as a cover."

"Cannon in red, get ready, let go!" Baru waved his command flag and shouted loudly.

Obviously, Mingzhong's troops had never seen this thing before, and everyone was so shocked that they even forgot to dodge it.

"Brothers, lie down, lie down!" Zhou Shuai shouted loudly.

But the group of soldiers were so frightened that they froze, not many of them reacted for a while.

Zhou Shuai immediately jumped onto a boulder and shouted: "Brothers, lie down quickly, lie down quickly, quickly..."

Before Zhou Shuai finished speaking, he heard a bang, and the whole boulder under his feet was blown to pieces, and he himself was also blown to pieces.

Only then did the other soldiers realize what was going on, and all of them were so frightened that they all fell down.

Mingzhong watched Zhou Shuai being blown to pieces, and hurried forward, crying, "General Zhou Shuai, General Zhou Shuai, General Zhou Shuai..."

Before he could rush forward, a loyal guard suddenly rushed over and shouted loudly: "General, be careful..."

boom!

There was another loud noise, and gunpowder smoke billowed into the air, choking people out of breath.

But the soldier lying on Mingzhong's body was blown to pieces...

Then there were more than a dozen rumbling explosions, and the entire Chaoyang official road billowed with gunpowder smoke.

General Zhang Qiao waved his hand and ordered: "Don't let it go, we don't have many shells for this red cannon, so we should save some and save it for attacking the city."

With Zhang Qiao's order, the cannon in red immediately retreated to make way.

"Spearman, prepare to charge!"

"Big Sword Soldiers, Giant Ax Soldiers, keep up!"

"Cavalry, queen!"

Zhang Qiao issued three orders at once!

Originally, Zhang Qiao thought that the Ming army was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, and being bombarded by his secret weapon, the red-clothed cannon, morale would be extremely low. They might even take Ming Zhong down without any effort.

Zhang Qiao's predictions were always right, but this time he was wrong. He ignored a person, a dead person, that was his former general Zhou Shuai.

Zhou Shuai has always treated soldiers like brothers. He has always eaten the same food and slept in the same place as ordinary soldiers, and he has never put on airs as a general. Moreover, he died for those soldiers just now. In an instant, Goblet and Abe's morale, which was extremely low, was lifted up.

Generals do not hesitate to die, why should soldiers be afraid of death?

More than 5000 soldiers, like more than 5000 hungry wolves, with red eyes, bloody teeth, and waving weapons, welcome the arrival of death!

"Brothers, fight hard, avenge General Zhou, charge with me!" Ming Zhong even took the lead in the vanguard, brandishing a big knife, and charged straight up.

All of a sudden, there were bloody killings everywhere, the sound of wailing, screaming, fighting, and fighting, all became one piece, mixed with the air full of death and blood, the entire Chaoyang official road became a hell on earth in an instant!

Zhang Qiao never expected that the remnants of the Mingzhong army could still have such a powerful fighting power. They attacked three times in a row, but all of them returned in frustration!

"General, do you want to use the red cannons to bomb again!" Baru suggested.

Zhang Qiao waved his hand and said: "This is a mountainous area, the red cannon can only serve as a deterrent, we have used it once just now, and now it is not very effective, and there are not many shells, so we should keep them Use it for siege!"

"Then what should we do now, should we launch a fourth attack!" Baru suggested again.

Zhang Qiao shook her head and said, "Now the morale of the Ming army is at its peak, launching an attack at this time will only provoke more fierce resistance from them."

Before Zhang Qiao's words fell, Balu responded angrily: "So what, I don't believe that their thousands of disabled soldiers can turn the sky upside down?"

Zhang Qiao shook his head again, and said, "General Ba, be safe and don't be impatient. If we attack by force, we will definitely be able to take down the Chaoyang official road. It's just that the price we paid for this is really too high, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to take down Zhu at that time." Yuanguan."

Balu was worried about the safety of his younger brother Ba Tie, and his mood was very impatient, he said: "Then our 3 troops are blocked here, so why should we just sit and wait for death, watching the Ming army eat up more than [-] people in Ba Tie. "

Zhang Qiao waved his hand with a smile and said: "General Baru, I know you are worried about the safety of Ba Tie. After all, you are a brother of the same mother. I can understand this kind of feeling, but now is not the time to act emotionally. The number of troops led by Zhong will never be less than 4, and as far as I know, there are only 3 or [-] people in the camp of the Ming army in Zhiyuanguan, and now half of them have been brought out by Ming Zhong, and the rest must be besieging Batie. Once they Leaving Shuyuan Pass, you will immediately lose your geographical advantage, but Ba Tie has more than [-] elite teachers in his hands. It is not difficult to stick to it for a day and two nights. Maybe you can take Zhiyuan Pass directly. !"

Zhang Qiao didn't know whether Balu believed these words, but he knew very well in his heart that he would never believe them.If Lin Yu had only such a level, he would not have personally led an army of [-] to dispatch today. The reason why he said this was mainly for his irritable companion, and besides that, he had another purpose secretly , that is to remove Ba Tie.

In his eyes, Ba Tie is simply a useless trash, but he relies on his brother's power all day long to do his best.The last time he raided Yuanyuan Pass, he was obviously the one who was greedy for merit, but insisted on pushing all the responsibility to his confidant, Wu Ning.In order to appease Balu, in desperation, he had no choice but to imprison his confidant and love general temporarily, but Ba Tie was so bold that he privately brought someone to ransack Wu Ning's family, even Wu Ning's old mother and three-year-old His youngest son has not been let go, and this is too disrespectful to him as the chief pioneer. The time has come for Bartie to be eliminated.

His wishful thinking this time is to use Lin Yu's hand to kill Ba tie.Moreover, after Lin Yu destroys Ba Tie, his vitality will be seriously injured. At that time, if he forcibly attacks the Yuanguan, he will be able to break it in one fell swoop!
