This battle lasted from dawn to dusk. It was not until Lan Zuwang's 50,000 former troops retreated back to their own formation that Lan Qiao finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

The enemy left more than 30 tanks and chargers behind, which were either destroyed or set on fire. More than half of them were inside the wall rather than outside the wall. This shows how brutal this battle was.

There were still more than 20 fires inside and outside the mountain city that were not extinguished. The thick smoke shot straight into the sky, covering up the stars in the night sky, making the night dark and dull.

Hua Yuxi was very busy, constantly checking the newly injured people and making simple and effective preliminary treatment for them. Yunhe led the fortification soldiers to put out fires everywhere and try their best to repair the village walls.

At this moment, not only the gate of the village was broken open, but the wall of the village was also riddled with holes by the enemy's car. Four of the six arrow towers collapsed. If Bai Xueyin hadn't used all his strength to keep leaping between the arrow towers and resisted with his sword energy.

The enemy's catapults threw huge rocks, and the remaining two arrow towers were destroyed long ago.

Inside and outside the walls, the ground was littered with broken wood and rocks, blackened charcoal, broken armor and even broken limbs that belonged to unknown persons, reminding everyone of the horrors of the previous battle.

The 50,000 official troops suffered more than 9,000 casualties, three times the number of casualties on the Lanqiao side. However, counting the 3,000 more casualties, the effective combat strength of Lanqiao's original 30,000-person surprise attack team was reduced to less than 4,000.

become.

Lan Qiao was covered in blood, standing on a still intact arrow tower, as if he suddenly woke up from a nightmare, knowing that when he closed his eyes again, the next nightmare would follow one after another until he died.

In the past battle, their village gate was lost again, and many walls were destroyed. Lan Zuwang's army rushed into the hinterland of Crescent Moon Bay.

Lan Qiao led his soldiers to fight and retreat, retreating again and again, and finally relied on the gate tower at the north end to fight to the death. They fought hard until there were mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, and finally they were able to force Lan Zuwang to retreat.

This is still based on Lan Zuwang's unwillingness to pay too many casualties.

Seeing the enemy's retreat, the exhausted warriors dropped their weapons one after another, and could no longer take off their damaged armor. They just leaned against the wall, on the stone, or against each other, closing their eyes and falling asleep.

When food is cut off, they have no other way to regain their strength except sleeping.

However, Xu Huizu didn't seem to want to give them a chance to rest.

The war drums sounded again, Xu Huizu left Lan Zuwang's troops to rest in the camp, and personally led 40,000 fresh troops into battle.

Lan Qiao took a look and saw that these 40,000 people were all the "Yingtian New Army" directly descended from Xu Hui's ancestors, and knew that he was about to launch a general offensive.

Of course, the final credit must be taken by his new army. Now Xu Huizu personally went into battle, and also brought out the new army that had been preparing for a long time, including cavalry, spear and shield soldiers, archers, chariots, and fire gunmen.

Quite a few, this is what we are determined to achieve.

The flags of "Yingtian New Army" and "Wei Guogong Xu" were raised high, and Xu Huizu's most elite 40,000 main force began to advance. The catapult that had just caused huge damage to the arrow tower also moved forward. Obviously, Xu Huizu

We are no longer satisfied with the results of just "attacking the stronghold wall", but want to completely annihilate them and wipe everything out.

On the other hand, in our own stronghold, the soldiers were staggering and staggering. You don't need to fight to know what the outcome of this battle will be.

Bai Xueyin said softly: "What should we do now?"

Lan Qiao looked at the catapult lane in the enemy formation: "Last time, we defended the gate tower and just defeated Lan Zuwang. This time Xu Huizu ordered the catapults to advance together to destroy the gate tower."

"Are there any firearms?" Lan Qiao turned to look at Hua Yuxi. Although he knew there was little hope, he still looked forward to some miracle she could bring.

Hua Yuxi smiled miserably: "We have used them up long ago! In addition, we have also used up all our arrows and venom."

Tang Li, Hua Feng, Zhang Daoxian, Yan Batian and other members of the British Guards said together: "Without firearms, we will charge into the enemy's position with our own skills, but we will not be able to dismantle their catapults."

"It's useless." Lan Qiao shook his head and said, "The enemy also has martial arts masters like the Red Ghost Group and dozens of catapults. Such a risky action is tantamount to death."

Ling Yufei asked Yunhe: "Are there any opportunities over Xianyue Gorge?"

Yun He smiled bitterly and said: "We were all sealed to death by the enemy with earth and rocks, and now we are being pinned to death in this broken bowl."

Lan Qiao said in a deep voice: "Our only chance is to take the initiative and use the same method as Qisheng. One team will resist it from the front, and the other team will launch a surprise attack from the side. As long as we can destroy the batch of stone-throwing

With the vehicle, the enemy's combat power will be greatly reduced, but we can still make the final resistance with the strong gate tower."

Feng Yeling whispered: "In the past, we relied on the speed and impact of the cavalry to win the victory. Now that the horses have been cooked, how can we still do it?"

Hua Yuxi also said: "The soldiers are already exhausted from dealing with the tidal wave of attacks from Lan Zuwang just now."

As she spoke, she glanced at the sergeant lying on the ground in Xianyue Bay, and said with a bitter smile: "In this state, it is impossible to withstand Xu Huizu's frontal impact."

Lan Qiao secretly sighed in his heart, knowing that he had finally exhausted all his plans, and facing the enemy's thousands of troops, it would be difficult for him, Bai Xueyin and others to achieve great results with their personal martial arts.

"Junior sister, I have a favor to ask of you." Lan Qiao was silent for a long time and then let out a sigh of relief.

Bai Xueyin said calmly: "If you want to persuade me to run away by myself, husband, please don't say it again."

"No, I want you to protect Ling'er and Xiaohua to break out. Xu Huizu's target is me, they...sigh..."

"We're not leaving!" Before Lan Qiao finished speaking, Feng Yeling and Hua Yuxi said in unison, "If your husband is sacrificed here, we will never live alone."

Xu Huizu's army advanced to 150 steps in front of the broken wall of Xianyue Bay. As he guessed that the opponent's arrows were exhausted, he drove his troops nearby unscrupulously, so that there were no arrows fired by the defenders, but he could

He ordered his archers to shoot arrows into the stronghold wall.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Dark clouds rolled over the city, and war drums rang, like a death knell.

The enemy lit tens of thousands of torches, illuminating the wilderness outside the village wall with blood red. The thick smoke reflected the firelight, dyeing the sky blood red.

The overwhelming strength, equipment, morale and condition made the defenders, except for Lan Qiao and a few other leaders, frightened and secretly calling for the end of the world.

Suddenly hearing a strange noise behind him, Lan Qiao turned around and saw Meng Xiliang, Du Shiqi and Yun He kneeling down on the open ground together. The former said with tears in his eyes: "Please, Marshal and Madam, and Master Ling, please break out and leave immediately. This

It’s up to the generals to deal with the situation, and the commander-in-chief will avenge us in the future!”

Yunhe Fudi said: "Miss, please take care of yourself and get out of danger first."

When he said this, other soldiers knelt on the ground behind them and said in unison: "Commander and ladies, Master Ling, please break out of the encirclement."

Ling Yufei smiled slightly: "Since you call me a hero, I will tell you that a hero will never abandon his brothers and friends to live in vain."

Lan Qiao looked at the three Fenghuaxue girls. In fact, as a warrior, he sacrificed his life vigorously on the battlefield, so he had such awareness. The only thing he couldn't let go of were these three good women.

The three women held hands and said with the same enthusiasm: "Live together and die together."

Lan Qiao looked up to the sky and smiled, jumped off the arrow tower with a somersault, and landed upright in front of the soldiers. He raised his hands toward them and said loudly: "Everyone, get up! Now I don't know how to express my feelings.

I’m excited, but you may not believe it when I tell you. I’m still confident of winning this battle, although it’s less than 10%, but that means we still have hope.”

Du Shiqi's throat was choked with sobs and he said: "Is there any other way?"

"It is said that the most powerful general can take the head of an admiral from thousands of armies. Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, I will give it a try today so that you can see that I, the 'Sword God', am not a waste.

Gain a false reputation."

"Commander!"

Only then did Meng Xiliang and others realize that his method was to use himself as a bargaining chip to single-handedly charge into the enemy formation and take Xu Huizu's head.

The sound of war drums came from the enemy's formation, and the vanguard of Yingtian's new army began to follow the rhythm of the war drums, dividing into two groups, left and right, and thrusting towards the village wall like a steel fork.

Lan Qiao, Feng Yeling, Hua Yuxi, Bai Xueyin, Ling Yufei and Tang Li, the six most powerful martial arts masters, stood in front of the village gate in the wind, with Yunhe behind them, Meng Xiliang and Du Shiqi's elites, facing the iron flow.

The enemy who is advancing is ready to attack.

The enemy stopped fifty steps away to form a formation, and Wei Guogong Xu Huizu appeared in the formation riding a war horse. Seeing the appearance of Lan Qiao and others, the descendant of the famous general knew that they were preparing for a final "death charge", so he ordered his men to form a formation

A pocket-like defensive formation, with spears, shields and archers protecting the catapults at the rear. Once Lan Qiao and others dare to attack, they will be met with a head-on attack, with countless swords, guns, swords, halberds, arrows and flying rocks.

He saw that even though Feng Yeling, Hua Yuxi and other beauties on the Alluring List had fought many fierce battles, their beautiful faces were still as beautiful as the national beauty. He couldn't help but think to himself that if he could capture these beauties alive, it would definitely be a good thing.

Lan Qiao stood at the front, his eyes shining brightly.

Although he said that he wanted to kill Xu Huizu in the midst of thousands of troops, he actually knew very well that with Xu Huizu's unparalleled martial arts skills that could be compared with Liang Mengxing, it was simply a fool's dream to kill Xu Huizu in the midst of thousands of troops.

It's just to boost morale.

At this moment, he didn't care about life and death. All he thought about was how many enemies he could hold back before he died of exhaustion. The determination in his eyes and the strong murderous aura running through his body made the enemies in the front row shiver secretly.

Feng Yeling said to Yun He who was behind them: "The six of us will attack the enemy first, and you will follow. Remember to concentrate on attacking one point, and don't scatter."

Yun He nodded in agreement and looked at Lan Qiao standing in the front. He couldn't help but think of the young man "Qiao Chu" whom he met for the first time in the Hou Mansion. The two figures overlapped. He sighed to himself that several years had passed. Who could have thought of that young man back then?

The shy young man has now grown into a world-famous "Sword God".

Lan Qiao looked ahead, suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, a strange light lit up on the sword's edge, and suddenly shouted: "Lights out!"

All the lights and candles in the mountain city were extinguished in an instant, and they were suddenly plunged into darkness. People could only see the dazzling light on the Blue Bridge sword. Compared with the scene of thousands of torches in the enemy's formation, it was bright and dark, which made people gasp.

Can't help but feel angry.

"Boom! Boom!"

Hua Feng stood on the arrow tower, beat the war drum, and cheered for his beloved wife Tang Li and other comrades who shared life and death.

"The show is about to begin." Lan Qiao smiled cheerfully, and suddenly rushed forward like a leopard. He swung his light sword left and right, mowing down more than a dozen enemies in the blink of an eye.

Bai Xueyin carried a cloud of snow mist and crashed into the enemy formation on the other side. The sound of clashing weapons sounded like firecrackers during the New Year. At the same time, the enemies screamed repeatedly, and no one knew how many people fell under her sword.

Ling Yufei used the "sonic boom" style in Ling Yin's swordsmanship. He first focused the enemy's killing cry on the tip of the sword, and then combined with the true energy to suddenly explode, shaking six or seven enemies holding oars and shields.

Fly out upside down.

Hua Yuxi used "Thousand-leaf Rose", combined with the "Demon Slayer Knife Technique" mixed in with it, like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, beating the enemies in an area to the point of screaming in agony and retreating continuously.

Feng Yeling used the "Thirteen Movements of Starting a Prairie Fire" one after another. Wherever the Lingge halberd passed, the enemy soldiers fell on their backs.

Tang Li's Qi Mirror was sweeping out in circles, like an invisible giant top, moving in and out of the enemy formation. Many enemies held iron shields to defend the front, but were suddenly hit from behind by the Qi Mirror.

, screaming and falling to the ground.

Xu Huizu gave an order, and the army formation quickly moved forward, leaving no room for the enemy's masters to move and display. At the same time, the cavalry on both wings broke into the wall of the village, blocking Meng Xiliang and Du Shiqi's rear team. The extremely lethal fire gunmen
