However, the imperial army, whose fighting spirit is completely boiling, should not be underestimated.
Under the fence, a dense shield array came first.
These people are all well-equipped shield warriors. They connect their shields end to end and hold them airtight.
Most of the arrows were blocked, and only the stones flying down when approaching could effectively kill.
During the frantic climb, General Jiang Ning had someone wet the rope, and then used the rope to drag the burning fence - directing the fire to the camp gate that Xu Ponu was defending!
Compared with the determination to fight, the rebel army and the imperial army are incomparable.
The rebels fled when they saw the fire, while dozens of dead soldiers rushed out from the forbidden army, trying to use the fire to break through the camp.
The belemnite above was weakened by the force of the flames.
Tang Jiye also organized wood-breaking and city-breaking hammers to attack the fence violently.
"Get water!" Xu Ponu shouted from above.
laugh--
By the time the water poured down, the worst of the camp walls were already crumbling.
Whoosh whoosh!
Several ropes flew up and wrapped around the outermost fence.
The defenders reacted quickly and used sharp axes to cut off the ropes.
Zhou Han's eyes were cold and he gave two words of instructions to the people around him: "Get on the fire ox!"
"yes!"
Soon, the army led out several black bison.
This kind of cow is irritable by nature, and will lose its rationality due to stress.
The soldiers led them not far from the camp wall, tied their eyes with strips of cloth, and then applied kerosene on the back half of the cow's body.
After doing all this, aim their heads at the back camp wall and light a fire!
The bison was like a firecracker that was lit, making a crazy sound and slamming into the camp wall.
boom!
Finally, the camp wall could no longer withstand the torment.
The wooden fence on the outside collapsed into pieces, and the earth and rocks filled inside rolled down.
"kill!"
The sergeants who were breaking through the wall shouted and rushed towards the gap.
"Quickly, block the gap!"
The thief generals inside were also giving orders in a panic.
Both sides fought hard at the gap!
After the imperial army advanced, advanced, and advanced for a certain distance, it became difficult to advance again!
Because the opponent built fences and sentry towers one after another behind the camp wall.
When you step into the gap, it's like leaning into a cave.
Not only do you need to deal with the enemies in front of you, but there will also be sharp blades thrust out of your head from time to time.
A very large captain was clearing the way.
He was wearing heavy armor and holding a huge iron shield in his hand. He didn't hold a knife and just ran rampant in the passage.
Four or five thieves came forward with their guns drawn.
He shouted, put his shoulder against the shield, and slammed his body forward.
Click!
The gun broke, and several people vomited blood and flew away.
Just when he was proud, he suddenly heard a sharp sound from the top.
He was worthy of a lieutenant general, and he reacted quickly and quickly moved to the side.
The spear grazed the iron helmet, sending up a series of sparks.
The captain held his shield short, reached out to grab the spear, and with just one tug, the man above him fell down.
Before he could get up, the captain hit him with the bottom of his iron shield, crushing his throat immediately!
"Ah!"
After he laughed triumphantly, his body shook violently, fear appeared in his eyes, and he turned up with difficulty.
Red blood and white brains flowed from his forehead.
thump!
After the captain who opened the way fell, more rebels came out from behind and pushed back.
"I come!"
Zhou Han, who was wearing a robe and holding a robe, went out in person.
This prince indeed lived up to his reputation for bravery. He was fierce and domineering, and he stabbed or chopped with the big spear in his hand, killing dozens of people in a row.
The momentum that had been sluggish was once again boosted!
The gap that had already been opened was opened some more because the soldiers and subordinates took the lead and the other soldiers followed.
Seeing this, the imperial army shouted loudly:
"Break the camp!"
"Break the camp!"
As if responding to his troops, Zhou Han took half a step back, and then the big spear suddenly cut upwards, creating a shower of blood.
The soldiers immediately roared and rushed forward along both sides of him.
"Almost done!"
boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud noise.
One soldier flew out, and the other was cut in half.
The armor shattered to the ground, and his upper body fell down. He was not dead yet, howling with difficulty, crawling towards Zhou Han.
Xu Ponu carried a big sword and blocked Zhou Han's path: "You still have time to run now."
Zhou Han smiled coldly, did not answer, and shook his hands suddenly.
Whoosh!
The big tree made a terrible sound and stabbed Xu Ponu in the face!
After the latter easily dodged, he changed his stabbing to slashing.
Xu Ponu blocked the sharp blade at the top of the big spear with his sword, stepped forward, grabbed the pole of the spear, raised the knife with one arm in his right hand and struck back at Zhou Han.
Zhou Han also used one hand to catch the sword, and drew his saber with the other hand to attack.
The two of them fought for a long time, then they gave up their swords at the same time and attacked with swords in both hands.
Xu Ponu holds a standard broadsword, and he is extremely powerful. Although he is born as a commoner, he has been fighting since he was a child and has never been a famous teacher. He has learned the killing skills on the battlefield.
There are no rules and no need for rules; for people like him, fighting has become an instinct.
Just like a tiger emerging from the forest, the ability to kill is imprinted in flesh and blood.
The shape of the sword held by Zhou Han is quite strange, between the ring-shou sword and the broadsword, and the overall color is green.
This sword was named Tun Wu and was used by Emperor Taizu when he conquered the world.
In the future, if any of the emperor's heirs have outstanding military exploits, they can temporarily be given this sword to kill enemies.
Due to being stained with blood all year round, the blade's edge turned black and red.
Zhou Han was also naturally brave. He studied under a famous teacher since he was a child and was known as the most brave person among the royal family.
The two of them went back and forth and fought for twenty or thirty rounds.
when!
The two knives struck each other again.
Sparks flew out, and a deeper gap was cut out of the sword in Xu Ponu's hand.
A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then turned into greed, and he almost cried out: "What a good knife."
"A good knife can chop off a thief's head!"
Zhou Han's eyes were fierce, with a touch of madness!
As the battle deepened and he saw how the enemy's camp was arranged, he already knew the facts.
The only hope of winning is to crush this camp and kill this person!
The blade is as continuous as a wave.
The two men's swords became more and more fierce, making it difficult for people around them to get close.
Soon, they reached a broken wooden camp.
Woo——
Both knives made an oppressive sound, and then they struck each other hard.
Dang clang——
There was a harsh sound, and the blade of the broadsword was cut off!
Xu Ponu was stunned: "Is there such a thing?"
In the end, poverty limited my imagination...
"Die!"
When he was in a daze, Zhou Han attacked again.
Xu Ponu could only hit him with the handle of the knife.
When he picked up the handle of the knife and hit the opponent again, Zhou Han did not dodge, but raised his arm.
Snapped!
The handle of the knife hit the gauntlet.
Zhou Han's arm trembled, and severe pain pierced his bones.
Xu Ponu's strength was too great.
Although the blade was not enough to break the defense, it still cracked the bones of the hand through the arm armor.
However, instead of shouting in pain, Zhou Han showed a serious smile: "Die!"
Even if you are injured, you must kill the enemy in front of you!
Xu Ponu was shocked that the dignified heir actually used such a life-threatening fighting style.
He could only lean back and crash into a fallen wooden sentry tower.
boom--
"General!"
Xu Ponu's sudden defeat instantly frightened the surrounding Hedong Army.
Xu Ponu is recognized as the number one warrior in Hedong and is the backbone of the current defenders.
If he died here, then...
"good!"
"Invincible! Invincible!"
Correspondingly, there were cheers and shouts from the imperial troops behind Zhou Han.
The entire battle on the battlefield has fallen to the two generals.
The victory or defeat of that generation is the life and death of everyone!
Zhou Han's eyes also burst out with excitement.
I will win, victory must belong to me!
I will flatten Hedong!
I will return to the court with all my meritorious service!
A loser like Lao Liu is not even qualified to look up to me!
Thinking of this, he stepped forward to pursue him and swung his sword again——
Wow!
Under the half-tilted sentry tower, a huge tree protruded horizontally.
It was the pillar of the sentry tower, and it took several strong men to work together to lift it.
At this moment, the pillar swept out a circle horizontally, smashing everything around it.
Behind the giant tree was Xu Ponu's big grinning face:
"This thing is pretty handy, try it!"
"What!?"
Zhou Hanhai's eyes suddenly bulged.
Buzz——
The giant tree swept towards him, and he had no way to retreat.
Subconsciously, he raised the knife with his right arm and blocked it to the left.
After making this action instinctively, Zhou Han regretted it!
No matter if it is blocked by a knife, a gun, a sword, a halberd or a stick, it will be no problem.
But this is a pillar!
Where can I stop it?
boom! ! !
The moment the blade came into contact with the giant wood, the sharp Tun Wu was completely stuck into the wood.
The giant tree ate the blade and still hit Zhou Han's left shoulder hard.
Click——
It was the sound of bones breaking or breaking.
The next moment, Zhou Han was completely knocked out.
"Your Highness!"
The outcome was reversed in an instant.
The retinue of soldiers who had been cheering rushed up wildly and rushed straight towards Xu Ponu!
"Come on, come on!"
Xu Ponu looked up to the sky and laughed, and the giant tree stood horizontally again:
"Look at me sweeping through thousands of armies!"
He carried the giant tree and stepped up to the collapsed corner tower to get the advantage of the higher ground.
Huhuhu——
The sound of the wind swaying from the giant tree was terrifying, like the roar of a wild animal.
The approaching soldiers and cavalry were smashed and flew away!
"kill him!"
Jiang Ning, the partial general, roared.
He held the iron gun in his hand, urged his horse to speed up, and jumped towards the opponent's location.
When he was approaching the collapsed sentry tower, Xu Ponu discovered him and let out a thunderous roar:
"rise!"
His legs sank, and the already collapsed sentry tower was stepped even heavier.
He lifted the giant tree upright, held its tail with both hands, and smashed it down with all his strength.
The iron gun poked out——
boom!
The giant tree fell——
Both men and horses were smashed into a pool of bloody mud.
When the giant tree was pulled up again, a lot of flesh and blood and internal organs were sticky and hanging from the end.
Xu Ponu stood on the top of the tower, lifted the giant tree onto his shoulders, and roared like thunder:
"Xu Ponu from Hedong is here! Who else is coming?"
This loud roar completely shattered Zhou Han's arrogance.
Jiang Ning bought him time with his life, so that he could be helped up from left to right.
His left arm was half crippled, and Tun Wu had lost it, but he still instinctively grabbed a knife in his hand.
However, his eyes dimmed.
Tang Jiye was organizing the army to withdraw: "Your Highness, we have to withdraw."
As a veteran on the battlefield, he knew the current situation at a glance: no chance, no chance at all.
Zhou Han took a deep breath and looked at Xu Ponu in front of him: "Serve me to ensure that you will not lose your position as a general of chariots and cavalry."
According to the military system of the current dynasty, the general is the highest, followed by the hussar and the chariot.
The cavalry general is the absolute third most powerful figure in the army!
"I am from Hedong, and I only play for Hedong."
"The imperial court cannot save Hedong, but Duke Guo can."
Xu Ponu sneered: "Besides, you have defeated a general, how can you show your face? Just because you are a prince?"
Keng!
While speaking, he pulled out Tunwu embedded in the giant tree.
"I accepted the knife."
"Give me your head too!"
After saying this, come and devour Wu and kill him!
Tang Jiye immediately shouted: "Withdraw!"
…
The wind in the early morning made people feel cold all over their bodies.
Xu Ponu focused on defending and did not pursue too far.
Zhou Han withdrew and was leaning on a huge stone.
The military doctor cut off his sleeves, revealing his terrifying left arm.
The skin of the forearm was dark purple and swollen, and the entire forearm looked like a pustule that could burst at any time.
The skin and flesh on the shoulder exploded, revealing the broken bones inside.
Even if such an injury heals, the strength will be greatly reduced in the future.
Fortunately, it was not my right arm that was injured...
Tang Jiye walked up to Zhou Han and was about to report the casualties to him.
"There's a spy!"
Zhou Han suddenly spoke, his face full of murderous intent, looking ferocious and terrifying: "There must be a spy, otherwise the enemy would not be so well prepared!"
"Also, Lao Liu did not coordinate our attack on Jiguan, which is why I was defeated like this!"
Tang Jiye was a veteran on the battlefield and a seasoned official. He immediately understood what Zhou Han meant: he had already lost, but the pot must be thrown away!
Otherwise, such a disastrous defeat will be confirmed, and the entire army from Zhou and Han downwards will be punished!
"What His Highness said is..." He was about to agree, but suddenly remembered something: "But we have to return to the court alive."
"Return to court alive?"
Zhou Han suddenly raised his head, his face filled with paleness: "Yes! Yes! We may not be able to return to the court alive now..."
Once the camp is captured, he will be trapped and die in the east of the river.
"Jiye."
"The general is here!"
"You pack lightly and return quickly. Tell Huangfu Longting that he must wait for my return! Then, ask him to ask for help from the other side and ask for reinforcements from Luojing City!"
"yes!"
——The imperial camp——
"We have to withdraw."
Looking at the several breached gaps and the 70,000 to 80,000 rebel troops outside the camp, Huangfu Longting shook his head and sighed.
"Withdraw?" The general next to him paled: "General, we can't withdraw."
"Why can't we withdraw?"
"We will definitely die if we withdraw!" The general said urgently: "Leaving without fighting will cause the main force to be trapped alone...the car will be broken!"
"We have to evacuate even if the car is broken."
Huangfu Longting shook his head and said firmly: "The main force south of the river has been transferred. Once we die here, Luo Jing will have no barrier."
"At that time, Guo Zhenyue will cross the river with a drum and shake Luo Jing; even if he cannot defeat Luo Jing, the country will inevitably be shaken."
"General..."
"alright!"
Huangfu Longting waved his hand: "Send my order to collect the firewood and dry firewood in the camp and concentrate them on the first camp."
"After lighting the fire, the entire army retreated across the river."
"Burn the excess boats and demolish the ferry bridges."
"Yes Yes!"
The general was sweating profusely, nodded repeatedly, and couldn't help but ask: "Then the Second Prince and the others..."
"The emperor is more important than the prince." Huangfu Longting waved his sleeves.
boom!
When Tang Jiye was still ten miles away from the camp, he saw where the camp was and the fire was soaring into the sky.
Being so far away made him sweat so much that he felt as if he had been fished out of water.
