The fire was raging on the hillside on the west side of Huanghua Valley. The tall fire wall and smoke screen blocked the shadows of all Zhou's troops. The huge Huanghua Valley was also reflected in red. Li Jin looked at everything in front of him, his face filled with the pleasure of revenge.

Originally, they just set a fire casually in the surrounding area. If there is a smart person in the Zhou army, they will escape from Huanghua Valley obediently. The Shu army does not need to suffer such heavy casualties. It is only because someone in the Zhou army wants to shoot him. You cannot blame him for being ruthless.

Already.

At this moment, Li Jin felt proud in his heart. It was really worth setting the fire. He not only saved Longyou but also saved Shu. I believe that he will be more important to his father in the future, and it is essential to return to Chengdu to reward him.

"Ah! What a big fire!"

The soldiers of the Shu army let out bursts of exclamations, and saw the fire on the west hillside swelling up as if it had been filled with oil.

Wang Luan laughed ferociously, "I'm afraid they're going to be cooked now. Finally, the hatred in the Yamen's heart has been relieved."

"Completing the task assigned by father is the most important thing... Huh? I'm less angry."

I saw that the raging flames just now were shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, but half a cup of tea gradually disappeared, leaving only sporadic flames. Only the vast green smoke drifted in the valley, and I couldn't see it for a moment.

What is the situation on the hillside to the west of Qing Dynasty?

Although it was a little strange, Li Jin still murmured softly: "It should have been burned to death."

A strong wind blew up, and most of the vast green smoke dissipated in an instant, revealing a clear view of the hillside to the west. There were no charred corpses scattered everywhere in Li Jin's imagination.

More than a thousand Zhou troops were lined up closely down the ridge. The armor made of refined iron was gone. Everyone only wore ordinary military uniforms, and their mouths and noses were wrapped in rag towels, which were wet.

, if you get closer and smell it, there will be a faint irritation. The remaining half of the face is almost completely dark, and many people's hair and eyebrows have been scorched. If you rub it with your hands, it will definitely fall off.

I don’t know who was the first to tear off the angry cloth scarf on his face and shouted “Kill!” in a hoarse voice.

Everyone pulled their cloth scarves and shouted in agreement with the same hatred. They didn't even need the life-saving armor or the powerful divine arm crossbow, and rushed out wearing only tattered military uniforms. They were all as powerful as tigers descending from the mountain.

The rush to be the first to be released seems to be that all of them are generals who are leading the charge. This is not out of any hatred between the country and the family, but just out of the anger of a normal person because he was almost roasted.

The poor Shu army had already relaxed their mentality, thinking that the battle was won when the fire was lit, and they were waiting to receive rewards. After all, no one could survive under such a fire.

But the result was unacceptable. Not only did the Zhou troops not die, they came alive and killed them.

This is simply unbelievable. Do they all have the blessing of gods?

I don't know who shouted, "Run away! The enemy is coming!"

All the Shu troops hurriedly rushed to the valley mouth in the south, and the clever ones fled north. The Shu troops were completely in chaos and had no will to resist. On the contrary, the Zhou troops were like tigers rushing into the flock of sheep... to be precise.

More like a bunch of mad dogs.

There is no formation, no coordination, and no orders. They just use their guns and bayonets to harvest the lives of their opponents and vent their anger. This is even more frightening than a well-trained and disciplined army.

Xu Xian kicked over a soldier from Zhou who was killing him headlessly, "He has no eyes!"

As the commander, Xu Xian couldn't be as crazy as them. There was still a Shu army at the mouth of the valley that had not fled. Instead of escaping, they fought towards the valley against the defeated Pao Ze.

The young general in silver armor pushed away a sword and shield soldier who bumped into his horse, smiled provocatively at Xu Xian, and continued to kill him.

It wasn't that Xu Xian was tall and mighty or that he had three heads and six arms, it was just because he was the only one among the Zhou army who didn't bite around and kept watching the situation in the valley. The young general in silver armor must have identified him as the leader of the Zhou army.

.

"Red Scarf Capital! Assemble! Red Scarf Capital, assemble!"

Xu Xian shouted loudly, saying that his daily essential drills were not in vain. After hearing Xu Xian's order, he immediately gathered around him, and many Fengxiang Army tooth soldiers also woke up and came over.

"Damn it, I usually don't speak so well!" Zhang Jianxiong's thigh was bloody, as if he had been stabbed by a gun, and he was walking with a limp, "I can't rush into the formation, I'll leave it to you...ah,

If you are not afraid of death, none of your brothers will be afraid of death. If you are afraid of death, no one will survive!"

Xu Xian nodded and turned around, turned to look at the young man in silver armor who was getting closer and closer, and shouted "Kill!"

When he stepped forward and rushed forward, he seemed to feel Chai Rong's state of mind when he was riding alone in Gaoping. He didn't know how many people behind him would rush over with him, and he didn't know whether he could survive, but he couldn't stop.

He can't look back. Once he hesitates, the people behind him will become timid and collapse, and the end will be self-evident.

The two sides were getting closer and closer, and Xu Xian could already clearly see the ferocious and angry expression of the young man in silver armor. The other man had a gun under his arm, a gun in one hand, and leaned over to stab him.

Xu Xian stood up to meet him with a gun in both hands. There was no trick in this shot. It went straight towards the opponent's chest. As long as the opponent maintained this posture, he would definitely be stabbed by Xu Xian. Of course, Xu Xian would not be able to avoid being picked by him.

Intestinal piercing and rotten stomach.

However, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Just before the two sides were about to come into contact, Li Jin's eyes showed a trace of panic, his body tilted and his movements changed.

Xu Xian ducked and dodged the opponent's spear head. At the moment when a man and a horse passed by each other, Xu Xian stabbed the spear head diagonally with his backhand and felt the spear head penetrate his flesh immediately.

He learned the reciprocating rifle from Gao Huaide. He didn't know how many times he practiced it before he could use it smoothly. The effect would only be better if he was riding a horse.

He had no time to see whether the opponent was dead or alive, so he quickly snatched it back and threw it hard in front of him. The two spears thrust towards him immediately missed the target, causing the two Shu soldiers to stagger.

Xu Xian took advantage of the situation and punched left and right, and immediately there was a gap in front of him. He plunged in with the gun tip and pointed it at the throat of the oncoming Shu soldier. Blood spurted out and sprayed all over Xu Xian's head and face.

He didn't care to wipe it, then turned his hand to push away the spear heads that were stabbing him, and stabbed forward. He immediately felt a pleasant sensation in his flesh. He didn't know who he had hurt, but when he drew the gun, he really felt the other person.

The warm liquid sprayed out...

Xu Xian found that the harder he killed, the smaller the pressure from three sides would be. People in front would even actively avoid him, and the faster he would move. He would naturally hit the snake and follow the stick, constantly

Waving the spear in his hand, he smashed, picked, swept, poked, and stabbed, using the most familiar and effective moves in turn.

His eyes suddenly became empty, and there were no Shu soldiers around. They had already left the valley mouth and were fighting to the end. Xu Xian finally had the courage to look back, and saw the red-turbaned soldiers behind him all panting, with their heads and faces covered with blood. The same thing happened.

She was looking at him, but her eyes were as fiery as ever.

Looking at the young man in silver armor in the valley, he is still alive, but his horse is gone. He is gathering his soldiers in a panic, as if they are unwilling to fight again.

Xu Xian ordered: "Send him a message. If he surrenders, I will not kill him!"

Wu Liang panted and said: "I'm afraid he won't surrender, so go straight to the southeast and have a look!"

Xu Xian turned around and saw a plume of smoke and dust rolling toward Huanghua Valley from the wasteland in the southeast.

A Fengxiang sergeant said with a blood-stained face: "There is the Baijian Fort of the Shu Army in the southeast. There are at least two thousand Shu troops there. Judging from the size of this smoke, they may be all out!"

Dakui stomped his feet bitterly, "Two groups of reinforcements have arrived. Where have our people gone? Dianzhi, let's go. We won't be able to fall back if we turn around and be attacked by them from both sides."

Xu Xianbai said indifferently: "Don't panic, you can see that there are troops coming from the south direction. It's not like they are still their people this time."

The soldier of Fengxiang Army just now clapped his thigh and said happily: "They must be reinforcements from Mighty City. I had dinner there last night!"

————————

Huanghua Valley has been reduced to a pot of porridge, but in the Chinese army's tent, Zhao Kuangyin, Wang Jing, and Xiang Xun are still thinking about how to catch Li Tinggui in Fengzhou City.

When the soldiers sent by Wang Jianxiong came to ask for help, they all looked shocked. Wang Jing was stunned and then patted Zhao Kuangyin on the shoulder, "Zhao Yuhou really has a clever plan, but I didn't expect Mr. Li to take action so quickly."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and asked the soldier who asked for help, "You mean I brought those hundreds of people to help you fight in Huanghua Valley? I already knew that he was not a peaceful person."

"Back to Angel, those people from the front department did help us fight a battle. Commander Zhang felt that there were not enough manpower, so he asked Pao Ze from the front department to help guard the valley, and sent some men over to ask for help!"

Wang Jing scolded: "Wang Jianxiong is useless, the terrain there is more than enough for a thousand men to defend."

Zhao Kuangyin said: "To be on the safe side, the commander-in-chief should send more people."

As soon as he finished speaking, another scout came in and reported that two thousand elite soldiers from Maling Village had gone to Huanghua Valley.

Wang Jing was furious, "Didn't those who attacked Huanghua Valley go to Malingzhai? Lying about military information will cost you your head."

The scout said: "The original soldiers and horses from Maling Village had already set off at dusk, and another two thousand people came at night. They stayed for less than two hours and then went to Huanghua Valley, bringing catapults and beds with them.

crossbow."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several people in the tent changed. Wang Jing said to himself: "Isn't it because Li Tinggui invested such a large sum of money..."

"Wang Linggong is right. They are going to close the door and beat the dogs, and kill us all."

"Haha... Mr. Li has such a big appetite that he is not afraid of dying."

Xiang Xun said: "Without further delay, Wang Linggong will send people to reinforce Huanghua Valley."

Before Wang Jing could give the order, there were soldiers sent from Weiwu City to report that there were fireworks in the sky in the direction of Huanghua Valley, as if the Shu army had set fire to Huanghua Valley.

If they were just surprised just now, now several of them suddenly feel chilled. At this time of year, the vegetation in Huanghua Valley is lush and the autumn vegetation begins to turn yellow. Once it starts to burn, Wang Jianxiong will definitely not be able to hold it back.

It seems that bad things have just begun, and in the next half a stick of incense, bad news continues one after another. First, two thousand Shu troops from Baijian Castle reinforced Huanghua Valley, and then, what was even more shocking, was that they had been shrinking in Fengzhou City.

Li Tinggui came out in full force and was already ten miles away from the camp.

Wang Jing sat down on the chair, slapped the table in annoyance and shouted: "I really underestimated Mr. Li, I only thought he was a man of integrity, I never thought he would be so willing to take risks."

Zhao Kuangyin advised: "Now is not the time for Wang Linggong to be upset. It is too early to make a conclusion about success or failure."

Xiang Xun said: "Why don't you give me five thousand soldiers and horses, and I will take back Huanghua Valley!"

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said: "It is too late to go now. Instead of dividing our troops to reinforce Huanghua Valley, it is better to put all our troops into a decisive battle with Li Tinggui and to fight quickly. Once the news that the retreat route is occupied by the Shu army spreads in the camp, it will be inevitable

The morale of the military is in great disarray."

Wang Jingding nodded and said: "That makes sense!"

Zhao Kuangyin added: "If we can defeat Li Tinggui and capture Fengzhou City in one fell swoop, it won't matter who holds Huanghua Valley."

"That's all we have to do!" Wang Jing immediately led all the Zhou troops out of the camp to fight, not even a gatekeeper was left behind. After all, if they lose, the camp will belong to others.

Eighteen thousand Zhou troops left the camp and headed toward Fengzhou City in a mighty manner. Zhao Kuangyin followed Xiang Xun silently and looked unhappy. Xiang Xun suddenly said: "Yuan Lang is worried

Your brother-in-law?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "Yes, but he is probably smart enough not to confront the Shu army head-on. He is also good at climbing mountains and wading rivers and can probably escape."
