The escape route was blocked, what else could be done, but Zhang Xinyi still said: "Okay, I will go over right now and apply to take away a battalion of red robe flags."
The mountain road is narrow, and it is useless to have more troops, not to mention that it is impossible to defend until all the troops are killed. By then, Xiujie's army will have already blocked the retreat road and surrounded and attacked from all sides.
"Okay." Luo Feng wished he could give Zhang Xinyi another battalion of troops, but blocking here was more important. He could only look at Zhang Xinyi and said affectionately: "Promise me, no matter what, you must live."
"Don't worry, Xiujie's soldiers can't do anything to me." Zhang Xinyi smiled calmly, and after speaking, she took a battalion of red robe flags and rushed along the mountain road to the woods.
The mountain road was blocked by the red robe flag. Xiujie was extremely anxious. He was not anxious about victory or defeat, but worried about Luo Feng running away.
Seeing the slow attack in front, Xiujie squeezed through the crowd, braved the arrows, and reached the front. He slashed with his sword, knocking a red-robed flag soldier away and hitting the soldiers behind him.
Xiu Jie took a step forward and continued to wield the giant blood-blooded blade, slashing at the red robe flag in front of him.
With Xiu Jie's fighting power, Hongpao Qi couldn't resist it, and Xiu Jie quickly fought his way out.
However, the combat power of the Red Robe Banner is higher than that of ordinary armies. Even Xiujie's army is much higher.
After Xiu Jie fought his way out, the red-robed flags on both sides immediately attacked the army behind Xiu Jie, quickly cutting off Xiu Jie's connection with the army behind him.
Xiu Jie went deep alone and killed like crazy for a while. When he saw that the army behind him still couldn't keep up, he had no choice but to fight back, kill the surrounding red robe flags, and lead the army to attack.
After fighting for nearly half a day, Xiu Jie's army also appeared in another passage. There was Xiujie in the passage when he came, so Luo Feng didn't dare to go up rashly and confront Xiujie. If he was killed by Xiujie, the army would be completely in chaos.
The defensive strength of this passage on the side was not as high as that of the red-robed flag. Luo Feng immediately rushed into the mountain passage on the side and led his troops to resist the attack of Xiu Jie's army.
With Luo Feng's presence, Xiujie's army in the mountain road on the side could not attack at all. Instead, they fell into the mountain road one after another.
After defending for a day, Xiujie's army suffered heavy casualties, with more than 6,000 casualties. Luo Feng counted the troops and found that his army had more than 3,000 casualties.
According to such casualties, it is not a big problem to hold on for another six days. After six days, Ding Xu and Zhang Xuli's troops will definitely arrive.
However, Xiujie won't just attack here stupidly. The entire mountain will be surrounded by Xiujie. When the time comes, he will be surrounded by enemies on all sides and will be unable to resist.
Early the next morning, Xiujie started a crazy attack again and ordered the surrounding troops to climb the mountain and over the peak to reach the small basin where Luofeng was located.
The mountain peaks are not high, ranging from four to five hundred meters to nearly a thousand meters high. However, there are no roads on the mountain. It is difficult to climb up and even harder to climb down.
There are paths up the mountain in some places, but these paths cannot be passed by the army at all. Even if you climb up one by one, it will take a long time. When you reach the top, you still have to find a way down the mountain. There is even no way down the mountain. You can only Return the way you came.
In the small basin, the human sea tactic was launched. Anyway, it was to use people to block the road and use people to open the road. One group fell and another group was replaced.
However, Xiu Jie still had an absolute advantage. After the red robe flags fell one after another, Xiu Jie led his army to slowly advance and reached the mountain pass.
Luo Feng was in the mountain road on the side. When he heard that another mountain road was about to be breached by Xiujie, he immediately retreated to the basin and saw thousands of people swarming at the entrance of the mountain road, fighting fiercely.
"Report, King." A soldier hurriedly ran over and said: "Mrs. Zhang sent an urgent message. Xiujie's army was found outside the woods. The war should have started by now. Please ask the King to withdraw the troops, otherwise it will be too late. The lady also said that she We will defend until the last moment and will never withdraw our troops until we see the king."
When Zhang Xinyi was asked to defend the woods, it was just to better resist the attack of Xiu Jie's army. The other purpose was that if Xiu Jie's army really couldn't be stopped, it would be easier for Zhang Xinyi to retreat in the woods and save his life. I didn't expect this result now.
Luo Feng knew that no matter how much he ordered Zhang Xinyi to protect him immediately, it would be useless. Instead of defending here, it would be better to retreat to the woods.
"The Second Sword Barracks and the Third Sword Barracks will stay on the mountain road leading to the woods, and everyone else will retreat."
After Luo Feng gave the order, the battalion commanders of the Second Sword Barracks and the Third Sword Barracks immediately led the troops to the entrance of the mountain road leading to the woods, opened it like a trumpet, waited for the retreating troops to pass by, and then blocked the mountain road. .
Seeing Luo Feng retreating, Xiujie immediately ordered the pursuit. At the entrance of the mountain pass leading to the woods, Luo Feng's army who had been waiting immediately rushed up to withstand Xiu Jie's attack. When Luo Feng led all the troops into the mountain pass, the remaining troops retreated into the mountain pass and chose the narrowest spot. place to resist Xiu Jie's army.
At the entrance of the mountain road connecting to the woods, Zhang Xinyi led a red robe battalion and fought three times with Xiu Jie's army in the woods.
Fortunately, there were archers deployed in advance, which caught Xiujie's army off guard, otherwise Zhang Xinyi would not have been able to defend Xiujie's army's third attack.
However, after discovering that there was Luo Feng's army in the woods, Xiujie's army kept approaching the woods and gathering together. There were more and more troops. There was already a full army of troops, and there were many troops coming behind.
With such a force, it would be easy to eliminate Zhang Xinyi's remaining army of only about one battalion.
However, Xiujie's army was not in a hurry to attack, because the previous attacks were blocked by Zhang Xinyi. Although Luofeng's army was small in strength, with Zhang Xinyi's presence, they did not dare to attack rashly even if they had a crushing advantage in strength. .
After many discussions between several banner commanders of Xiujie Army, it was finally decided that the whole army would launch an attack on the woods.
In the previous three defenses, Zhang Xinyi had consumed a lot of energy and her combat power had dropped a lot. She was sitting cross-legged to recover during the break between Xiujie's army's attacks.
A red-robed flag commander quickly walked up to Zhang Xinyi and said, "Madam, Xiujie's army has begun to attack again. This time there are a lot of troops. It is estimated that there are about an army of troops."
Zhang Xinyi adjusted her breath, opened her eyes, stood up and said, "No matter how many come, as long as the king doesn't come out, we will fight until the end."
"Yes." The flag commander immediately turned around and left, running toward the army in front.
Just when they arrived in front of the army, Xiu Jie's army rushed up together.
"Kill." The flag commander waved his steel spear and led the army to kill.
There was a battle in the woods, the line of sight was unclear, the figures were chaotic, and the formation had long been lost. The two armies shuttled between the trees and started fighting.
The archers lost the advantage of long-range attack in the woods, but Zhang Xinyi did not have many archers, and most of them had been killed or injured in the previous battles.
