The momentum of both armies climbed to its peak, and they joined forces in an instant. This time the battle was more intense. Both sides traded lives for lives. Even though Yamashita Gaoding and other Yi generals were hard-hearted, at this time I couldn't help but feel frightened.
It's almost time to finally win! As the number of officers and soldiers continued to decrease, and his soldiers got closer and closer to the Hanzhai, Gaoding finally saw the dawn of victory, and his nervous and anxious heart finally calmed down.
"Woo, woo, woo..."
Just when Gao Ding and the other Yi people were breathing a sigh of relief, suddenly there was a harsh drumbeat from behind.
Damn it, it’s the drumbeat of the Han army!
Gao Ding turned around and looked at the rear formation, only to see dust flying two miles away, dozens of Han army flags fluttering in the wind, and two to three hundred Han soldiers wearing iron armor looking murderous.
The main force of the Han army is here! Is it Yang Qing's son who is here in person? Damn it, just a little time!
"Quickly, Ming Jin withdraws his troops and tells A Gu Nan's people to move back."
"After the order is given, the rear formation changes to the front formation and prepares to meet the enemy."
"Instruct all the archers in the front line to come back!"
…
Although Gao Ding barely gave the order calmly, his trembling hands revealed the panic in his heart.
In fact, he was not the only one who was panicking. All the barbarian soldiers were also panicked when they knew that the official army reinforcements were coming.
Dozens of people in the rear army were so frightened that they fled. Fortunately, the commander of the rear army responded in time and personally led his guards to kill all the dozens of deserters, which frightened other soldiers who were ready to move.
"The reinforcements are coming, the reinforcements are coming!" Seeing the Yi soldiers retreating, the officers and soldiers on the mountain shouted excitedly.
Just now, the Yi soldiers had already rushed to the front of the stronghold, and they could hardly hold on. Just when they were desperate, reinforcements finally arrived.
Feng Chong looked around and saw that there were less than a hundred people in the robe. He was filled with tears and looked up to the sky in silence. After a while, he shouted: "The Han army is mighty!"
Seeing this, the soldiers stood up and said: "The Han army is mighty!"
"The Han army is mighty!"
"The Han army is mighty!"
Although it was just the cheers of nearly a hundred people, the Yi soldiers at the foot of the mountain could hear it clearly, and their momentum became even lower after being captured.
Gao Ding's face was extremely ugly, and he didn't say a word after issuing the military order. Huo Yuan and Agunan on the side did not dare to disturb them, so they had to go to maintain the military formation to avoid being destroyed by the officers and soldiers.
Fortunately, the main force of the army seemed to have noticed that it was getting dark and was unwilling to launch an attack immediately. Instead, they went up to a hill beside the road and formed a formation.
In fact, how did the Yi soldiers know that only a few hundred people under Lei Xiong's command were coming, and the main force of the Han army was still on its way quickly.
It turned out that Lei Xiong met the sergeant sent by Feng Chong two hours ago to ask for reinforcements. He quickly rushed over with his troops. After arriving a few miles away from Jinji Ridge, he asked the sergeant to display his banner and ordered people to cut down the branches and drag them back and forth on the road. , acting as if the main force was coming to help.
Sure enough, the Yi soldiers were frightened and successfully frightened by him, but after all, he only had a few hundred people who dared not go out to fight in order to avoid leaking the secret. He had to go up to the top of the mountain first and pretended to be watching with eagerness. Unexpectedly, the Yi soldiers seemed to believe it again. .
After Lei Xiong laughed in his heart, he was worried that the Yi people would see the flaw, so he quickly ordered people to light more fires and continue the disguise.
"Master Fu, Master Fu, Lao Lei, I have tried my best. You should come back quickly." Lei Xiong sighed to himself as he looked at the thousands of barbarian soldiers in the distance.
It was not yet dark, and a bright moon rose into the sky at some point. Dozens of shining stars surrounded it, illuminating the ground and making it vaguely visible.
In the rebel formation, after the initial panic, the nervous hearts of the barbarian soldiers calmed down a lot. Seeing that the official army did not launch an attack, Gao Ding ordered the sergeants to seize the time to eat and prepare to fight to the death with the official army.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong. Why don't the officers and soldiers attack?" Agu Nan came to Gaoding and said with confusion.
"There is something wrong. The officers and soldiers have rested for more than half an hour and their physical strength should have recovered. Is this how Yang Qing'er intends to waste his time with us?" Gao Ding nodded, and he also felt a little strange.
"In this case, Agunan, you lead two thousand troops to find out the details of the official army." Gao Ding didn't want to waste his time like this anymore. The longer he stayed here, the worse it would be for him.
"Follow the order."
"No, I can't pretend anymore." Lei Xiong cursed secretly when he saw the whole group of barbarian soldiers coming.
He looked at the hill where he was stationed. It was low and flat, with no danger to defend. He thought that he had no choice but to fight to the death.
"Prepare to meet the enemy."
As soon as the military order was issued, the Han army officers and soldiers immediately took action. They were very fast and formed two rows of troops in an instant, basically blocking the road up the mountain.
"It's the armored soldiers!" Agu Nanda walked in front of the formation, using the moonlight and firelight to see clearly the armor on the officers and soldiers behind the shields.
This is the most elite sergeant in the army. Not only does he wear iron armor, but he also has a ring-headed sword that can cut iron like mud. I'm afraid he won't be able to gain favor by killing him like this.
A GuNan had some thoughts of retreating, but he remembered that when his army was on the verge of life and death, even if the enemy troops were elite, they would be destroyed tonight.
Ah GuNan felt anxious and pointed his knife: "You guys, kill them for me."
"kill!"
Thousands of barbarian soldiers charged and went up the hill to directly engage the government troops. It's just that the officers and soldiers were guarding the heights after all, and the array slowly moved downwards for a few steps, knocking the barbarian soldiers in front of them into overdrive.
The officers and soldiers gained the upper hand and were not willing to spare anyone. They took the opportunity to rush into the enemy group and harvest a bunch of heads with their swords. This killing move was used by Lei Xiong's tribe countless times. Now it was used to kill these barbarian soldiers who were already low in military morale. Defeated.
Seeing that the first wave of attacks was defeated so quickly, Agu Nan was not angry. He recalled the general who had just led the team for detailed questioning and ordered his troops to stand by where they were. He returned to the high-definition team.
"Your Majesty, I understand. There are only... a few hundred people from Lei Xiong's tribe on the other side. They are not... not the main force of the official army at all." Agunan said breathlessly.
Gao Ding's face changed rapidly after hearing this, and after a moment he laughed and said: "Hahaha, why are the officers and soldiers so difficult to deal with now? Yang Qing's son knows how to plot, and the Han official who killed my second brother can also plot. Even Lei Xiong, a reckless man, can use tricks now. As soon as Yang Qing's son came, the officers and soldiers changed their appearance. Can you tell me the reason for this? Ah!"
Although Gao Ding asked the question with a smile, Huo Yuan and Agunan felt that it was more terrifying than usual to be angry. This was so angry that they were laughing. How could they dare to answer, so they had to bow their heads and say nothing.
Seeing that no one responded, Gao Ding became even more angry and shouted angrily: "Send an order to the whole army to besiege on all sides. I want the officers and soldiers on the opposite side to turn into powder."
The war drums of the Yi people soon started ringing again, and this time Gao Ding came to the front of the formation. It seemed that he wanted to take the lead in the fight himself.
Four thousand barbarian soldiers surrounded the hill where Lei Xiong was. Just waiting for an order, the army would surge up the hill like a tide.
"Damn it, let's fight." Lei Xiong saw the barbarian soldiers coming fiercely and had to prepare for the worst.
As soon as the officers and soldiers adjusted the array, the barbarian soldiers surrounded them. Gao Ding rushed to the front under the protection of his personal guards. When the barbarian soldiers saw how brave the king was, the morale of the whole army was boosted and they waved their hands. Zhong Weapon rushed forward.
The Han troops on the hill gritted their teeth and tried their best to hold up their shields to block the barbarian offensive. Although they were the most elite force among the county soldiers, they could only hold on under the siege of thousands of people. .
Lei Xiong killed the enemy in front of him with one strike of his sword. Regardless of the blood on his face, he shouted loudly: "My sons, hold on, the Lord will be here soon. Kill me."
After that, he spotted another enemy soldier and went to meet him.
