In the wasteland outside the east city, under a big tree, Zhang Xu was sitting weakly on the ground, playing with the Hunling Magic Stick casually, and chattering incessantly: "I originally wanted to play all the way, but now it's okay. We don’t even have a place to live, and if we continue like this, we will be eaten by wild beasts.”
Speaking of wild beasts, I suddenly felt the howls of wild beasts mixed with the sound of wind around me. I couldn't help but raise my head and look into the distance.
"It's over, there can't really be wild beasts." Zhang Xuli stared around in the dark night.
He suddenly shrank his body behind the tree, stuck his head out, and looked at a long black shadow moving in the distance.
"Wow," Zhang Xuli opened his mouth in surprise, "What the hell is this thing? It's too long."
Taking a closer look, it looked like an army was moving. Zhang Xuli whispered to himself in confusion: "If you don't sleep in the dark, nothing good will happen. Let's take a look." He took advantage of the night and followed them.
Wang Han led his army to the east city gate, met with the original defenders, and sent orders to attack the city early tomorrow morning.
Zhang Xuli was hiding in the dark, watching the figures coming and going in the military camp, preparing for tomorrow's siege, and thought to himself: "There is a fierce battle at the South City Gate, and now something is going on at the East City Gate. It seems that tomorrow will definitely be the last one." I have to think of a way to fight." He lay on the ground and thought about it.
The sky is getting brighter and the noise is getting louder and louder.
Zhang Xuli rubbed his eyes with both hands and listened carefully.
"Kill, kill..."
Zhang Xuli looked shocked and immediately turned his head to look. Under the east city gate, the army led by Wang Han was attacking the city.
"Wow, I actually fell asleep. Run." Zhang Xuli turned around and was about to run.
"There's someone over there."
"who?"
"Go and catch him quickly."
A small team broke away from Wang Han's army and ran towards Zhang Xuli.
"It's over, it's over, we've been discovered." Zhang Xuli quickened his pace and started running.
Seeing Zhang Xuli running very fast, two more teams in Wang Han's army ran out to intercept Zhang Xuli.
Outside the south gate of Red Maple City, Xiu Jie commanded the army to attack fiercely, and the archers on the city tower had been wiped out.
Seeing that there was no one on the city tower, Hong Fengliu immediately ordered the newly recruited militiamen to go up to the city tower and attack Xiujie's army below the city with wood and stones. However, they were all killed soon after being shot by the archers of Xiujie's army.
Hong Fengliu sent two or three groups of militiamen up, and there were already thousands of corpses lying on the tower. Many militiamen ran up to the tower and were hit by flying arrows and fell to the ground. Some lucky militiamen picked up the wood and reached the wall before being shot in the body and fell off the tower together with the wood and the people. .
The militiamen were sent to the tower, but their combat power was too limited. Under the attack of Xiujie Army's archers, it was almost useless.
Seeing the militiamen who fell as they approached, Hong Fengliu stopped sending troops and turned around to look for Zhang Shunxiao.
In the square inside the city gate, after annihilating three waves of Xiujie's army in succession, Zhang Shunxiao, who was standing inside the city gate, put away the Blue Water Plate Dragon Spear and prepared to let in another wave of Xiujie's army.
Zhang Shunxiao took two steps back. Just as he was about to evacuate, he suddenly felt a terrifyingly powerful force coming from the front.
A figure flashed out from the crowd, and dark red energy like dark fire struck in front of Zhang Shunxiao.
Zhang Shunxiao hurriedly used the blue water dragon gun to protect his body. The dark red energy hit Zhang Shunxiao's Blue Water Panlong Spear, causing the surrounding airflow to attack in all directions.
Zhang Shunxiao couldn't resist, and took a few steps back along the dark red airflow before steadying his steps.
Xiu Jie stopped, opened his mouth and smiled: "Hahaha, Zhang Shunxiao, you can't run away today."
When he felt that energy, Zhang Shunxiao knew it was Xiujie, and no one else could have such strong fighting power.
"It's you who should surrender." Zhang Shunxiao gritted his teeth and shouted, then raised his Blue Water Dragon Spear and stabbed Xiu Jie.
Xiu Jie blocked Zhang Shunxiao's attack with the fierce blood sword, turned over and turned his hand, and slashed at Zhang Shunxiao with the fierce blood sword.
Zhang Shunxiao waved his gun and blocked it. Zhang Shunxiao was overwhelmed by the huge fighting force and almost failed to block it.
Xiu Jie didn't give Zhang Shunxiao a chance to breathe, and continuously swung the fierce blood sword. Along with the powerful blood sword, he pressed towards Zhang Shunxiao.
Zhang Shunxiao danced the Blue Water Dragon Spear to resist with all his strength. The two energies were intertwined, and the surrounding air flow rotated sharply. The nearby soldiers could not resist it and avoided it one after another. Several soldiers who were running slowly were directly swept away by the aroused air flow. go out.
Xiu Jie forced Zhang Shunxiao out of the city gate and onto the inner square. The troops behind him followed Xiu Jie and rushed out of the city gate. Under the leadership of Li Qun'ao, they fought on both sides.
Hong Fengliu was shocked and hurriedly organized troops to block Xiujie's troops on both sides.
The two armies started fighting around Xiu Jie and Zhang Shunxiao. Screams were heard one after another. Groups of soldiers fell down, and the troops behind them rushed up again.
In the inner square, Xiujie's troops grew more and more, almost occupying the entire inner square.
Seeing that the situation was over, Hong Fengliu found Zhang Shunxiao in the crowd. Just as he was about to step forward, a soldier ran over and shouted: "Hong Hongguan, the east gate has been lost, but there seems to be reinforcements outside the city."
Hearing the news, Hong Fengliu felt a little dizzy, wondering where the support was coming from. He subconsciously looked at Zhang Shunxiao and saw that Zhang Shunxiao could no longer resist, so he hurriedly ran in the direction of Zhang Shunxiao.
When they arrived nearby, Zhang Shunxiao was slashed away by Xiu Jie, fell to the ground, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Xiujie didn't wait for Zhang Shunxiao to get up, and flew down from the air to kill Zhang Shunxiao.
"Quick, stop Xiu Jie." Hong Fengliu shouted, sending all the troops around him to intercept Xiu Jie.
Xiu Jie's attack was blocked by two soldiers in front of Zhang Shunxiao, and he stopped. After knocking away the two soldiers, his body fell to the ground.
Zhang Shunxiao hurriedly got up from the ground and was about to step forward when he was grabbed by Hong Fengliu.
"Lord, there are reinforcements at the east city gate. Let's rush out from the east city gate, join the reinforcements, and then resist Xiu Jie."
Seeing that the soldiers in front of him quickly fell under Xiu Jie's fierce blood blade, Zhang Shunxiao held onto the Blue Water Dragon Spear and wanted to rush forward, but Hong Fengliu held on tightly: "Lord, if we don't retreat, our entire army will be destroyed, and everyone will die." There will only be more, so lead the army and fight out from the east city gate."
Xiu Jie had already entered, and Zhang Shunxiao knew that Red Maple City could not be defended. Under Hong Fengliu's hard persuasion, he left two battalions of troops to resist Xiu Jie, and withdrew to the rear with more than 3,000 people, heading east.
After Zhang Shunxiao left, the remaining troops, under the command of two battalion commanders, resisted desperately.
Xiu Jie rushed to the front and quickly killed the two battalion commanders among the rebels. He led the army from the inner square and chased the fleeing Zhang Shunxiao army along the streets.
In the inner square of the east gate of Red Maple City, Wang Han had already controlled the situation and occupied the inner square. He was cleaning up the remaining troops nearby and was preparing to fight along the road to the south gate to join Xiu Jie.
