At the mouth of the valley at the other end of Luohua Stream, Liangzhou soldiers had already used hay and kerosene to light a fire array several feet deep. The fire array spread from the cliff to the river, blocking the path of the Tengjia soldiers.

At the other end of the fire array stood a large armored formation. Zong Baozheng, the deputy general of the heavy armored battalion and Zhu Tianhe's right-hand man, led 3,000 soldiers to seal the entrance of the valley, and there were many spears.

The fire array in front of the heavy armor battalion will definitely not be able to stop the vine armor soldiers, and there will undoubtedly be a close-quarters fight in the end.

Gu Jianhui, the former general of the Tengjia soldiers who came here, looked at the flames soaring into the sky and shouted angrily: "Cut through the ice! Put out the fire!"

After hearing the order, a group of vine-armored soldiers hurriedly cut through the ice. There was no water container. They took off their helmets one by one to get water to put out the fire. While everyone was busy, a hail of arrows shot out from the heavy-armored camp.

The ones on the rattan armor were lucky enough to escape with their lives, but some of the arrows hit the sergeant's face, causing him to burst with blood and die.

In this way, the vine-armored soldiers kept fetching water to extinguish the fire with the continuous arrows. Although the helmet could hold very little water, there were many people after all. After paying the lives of many soldiers, the fire formation was finally doused.

After exiting a passage that was more than ten people wide, the scene that appeared behind the fire made everyone shudder.

A large array of huge shields was seen blocking the entrance of the valley. The protruding spikes on the shield's surface shone with a cold light, making everyone cower.

Gu Jianhui looked back at the mountain stream full of fire. The screams could not be heard. He was frightened. He suddenly drew his sword and pointed at the armored formation in front of him and roared:

"Break the formation! Kill those who flinch!"

"kill!"

Under Gu Jianhui's coercion, the vine-armored soldiers holding round shields rushed towards the Liangzhou formation. When they rushed to the front of the formation, more than a dozen soldiers jumped high and hit the tall shield with their bodies.

"Bang! Bang!"

A low impact sounded, and the iron armor formation did not move at all after the impact. Instead, the leaping vine armor soldiers fell to the ground, and the round shield in their hands had been pierced by the spikes on the iron shield. Not yet.

When the fallen vine-armored soldiers got up, many iron hooks suddenly protruded from the gaps in the shields. They grabbed the vine-armored soldiers on the ground and dragged them behind the shield.

"ah!"

A burst of shrill screams came from behind the shield, and then the battlefield became quiet again, with only the fire on both sides piercing and exploding. This sight made Gu Jianhui's heart tremble, and the hand holding the knife began to tremble slightly.

This iron hook was an idea specially thought up by Zongbao to deal with the rattan armored soldiers. Before leaving, he specially made some to carry with the army. For this reason, Chenyue also praised several times that this seemingly rough and arrogant man is actually full of cleverness. It is a pity that this

This method can only be used in small-scale battles, and will lose its power if used in a confrontation involving tens of thousands of people.

"Charge again!" Gu Jianhui continued to give the order to attack with a livid face. The vine armor soldier beside him gritted his teeth and pounced on the iron shield again.

A massacre without any suspense continued at the entrance of the valley. Zongbao stood motionless in the formation, with an expressionless face. His mission was to guard the entrance of the valley. If the formation was broken, everyone would die, as long as the heavy armor was used.

There is still one soldier in the camp who can stand, and no one can even think of crossing the valley mouth today.

The huge fireballs in the sky continued to fall, and the red flames burned all over the mountain stream. The fallen flowers on the ground became natural starters, and the fire grew bigger and bigger.

Thirty thousand vine-armored soldiers were huddled together in a mess, and the panicked soldiers trampled on each other. Many people were not burned to death, but died at the feet of their comrades. Screams resounded throughout. Blood flowed everywhere on the ground, flowing along the

The terrain flows into the Luohua River.

Xi Huan looked desperate. Looking at the soaring fire, he felt powerless for the first time. The road in front was blocked, and the same situation happened behind him. Military orders could no longer be conveyed smoothly. He, the commander of the Vine Armor Soldiers, had become a decoration.

.

Many soldiers tried to run along the ice to the opposite hillside, but the ice, which was not very solid, could not withstand the trampling of so many people and began to crack continuously.

The soldier fell into the water, and the cold river water instantly soaked through his body. The coldness poured from the Tianling Cap directly to the soles of his feet. The Tengjia soldier was so cold that he could only swim to the middle of the Luohua River and could no longer move forward. There were still cans of fire oil from time to time.

When it fell on the ice, the whole river started to catch fire, burning the soldiers in the water alive. It was like a world of ice and fire, like a hell on earth.

Just as the Tengjia soldiers entered Luohua Stream, the siege armies of Zhou Weiran and Ye Xiaoxiao also arrived at their respective target cities. Ye Xiaoxiao knew nothing about the marching Fuzhou army, but Zhou Weiran's heart was

There are probably a few who deliberately avoid the broad official channels.

As soon as Zhou Weiran arrived in Lingzhou, he surrounded Lingzhou City. After the soldiers rested for a while, they began to attack the city. Although they did not carry large siege cloud vehicles, there were still ladders. The defenders of Lingzhou were faced with unexpected situations.

The Fuzhou army appeared slightly panicked, and then began to counterattack.

There are ladders everywhere on the city wall, and stones and arrows are raining down from the top of the city. There are only 5,000 defenders in the city, and the situation is a bit critical facing the siege of 20,000 troops.

In the Governor's Mansion in Lingzhou City, Xue Leihan and everyone from the Mo family were present. Everyone was caught off guard by the sudden change, and their expressions were not very good.

The captain who stayed behind in the city was named Che Yongshi, a tall and thick-set man. At this moment, he was standing anxiously in front of everyone. He had just withdrawn from the top of the city and realized that something was wrong. He looked at Xue Leihan in the middle and shouted loudly:

"Prince Xue, General Chen has an order to protect your safety in case of danger. I beg you, you go first, I will guard Lingzhou City! It doesn't matter if we all die, you all have to live!"

The Mo family members on the side felt warm in their hearts when they heard this. They were a little confused as to why the Liangzhou soldiers, whom they had never met before, were willing to obey orders to protect their own safety at a critical moment of life and death. If it had been other soldiers, they would have scattered and fled.

Xue Leihan said with a gloomy face: "Don't worry about me! Send the old gentleman away first!"

Che Yongshi quickly turned to look at the old man with a white beard on the side. Although he didn't know who this person was, Chen Yue told them before leaving that he must protect them.

Mo Xuzi looked at the young governor who decided to stay behind, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, and said calmly: "I won't leave either. I have lived for decades and have already seen through life and death, so why not be afraid of the ax! You can just defend the city with peace of mind.

, I believe in the combat power of Liangzhou soldiers!"

When he heard that both groups of people were unwilling to leave, Che Yongshi's face turned the color of bitter gourd and he was about to cry. The two uncles really left him with nothing to do. If the city was destroyed in the end, how could he be worthy of General Chen?

of entrustment.

"Captain Che Xiao! Everyone!" Xue Leihan patted the chair handle, stood up suddenly and shouted: "I have only been appointed as the governor of Lingzhou for more than two months. The people in the city have just settled down and are about to start a new life. How can I abandon the people in this place?"

Ignore it and let them fall into the hands of the rebels again! Furthermore, nearly a hundred thousand soldiers are fighting bloody battles on the front line. Lingzhou City is the foundation of the army. How can we give up? I have made up my mind. The whole army will stick to Lingzhou. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed.
