On both sides of the official road, trees and weeds were crackling and burning.
The fire spread rapidly, and thick black smoke rose up, lingering in the air, making it difficult to breathe.
Fire broke out all around, and the army was surrounded by fire in the blink of an eye.
Weeds and dead branches quickly burned, and sparks flew everywhere, falling on the soldiers' armors. The hot breath burned the armors into dents. Although the soldiers were wearing armors and armors on their heads, their necks were exposed.
Some of the splashing sparks always landed on the soldier's neck, which made the soldier grin and couldn't help but reach out to scratch. But the more this happened, the more itchy and painful the neck became.
The fire was burning fiercely, and the surrounding temperature was getting higher and higher.
Beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of the soldiers, their mouths felt dry, and they could not bear the high temperature around them.
Pang Xi saw fire burning around him, his face turned earth-colored, his heart sank, and he shouted: "Retreat, retreat immediately!"
It sounded like a loud bell, and the rich voice kept echoing on the official road.
When the soldiers heard Pang Xi's voice, they immediately withdrew towards the rear.
Pang Xi took the lead and rushed to the rear. Although he also heard loud roars from behind and knew that there were Hanzhong soldiers blocking the way, he had to retreat. There was a fire burning in front and he could not rush past, and the front was definitely
There is also the Hanzhong Army that is waiting in full formation. Once it rushes forward, it will not only face the army in front, but also have no way to retreat.
The only way is to rush out of the sea of fire and retreat.
Pang Xi's idea now is for you to retreat and withdraw from the sea of fire.
The fire continued to expand, and the surrounding temperature became higher and higher. When the war horses ran quickly, they raised their heads and neighed eagerly, and the hair on the horses' bodies were already curled, which showed how high the surrounding temperature was. Pang Xi was worried and rode on
He immediately looked at the sea of fire in front of him, gritted his teeth, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and spurred the horse to charge.
"drive!"
He roared loudly and urged his horse to run faster.
In an instant, the war horse was approaching the edge of the sea of fire. He took the reins of the horse with both hands and made a leap. The war horse suddenly jumped up and plunged into the blazing fire, trying to cross the sea of fire. However, when the war horse jumped,
He stood up, half-way through the sea of fire, and heard the sound of bows and arrows piercing the air in front of him. One after another, pitch-black bows and arrows shot out of the air, with a shrill and shrill sound, and shot towards Pang Xi and the war horses under his legs.
The bow and arrow were aimed in the original direction of the war horse, and they fired randomly and without any order.
Countless bows and arrows formed a dense rain of arrows and shot down wildly. The superior war horse under Pang Xi's crotch was instantly shot into a hole. The horse was shot to death, and Pang Xi was also shot into a sieve by the rain of arrows.
He opened his eyes wide with a look of unwillingness.
I thought I would be saved if I escaped from the sea of fire, but I didn't expect that after I escaped from the sea of fire, I would find myself in an abyss of hell.
With a look of reluctance, Pang Xi's body fell to the ground with a bang, and he fell into a deep sleep. A few days ago, Pang Xi was still arrogant. Now, he died instantly.
At this moment, Deng Zheng was still sitting in the chariot, wearing a black cloak.
He squinted his eyes slightly, and his wrinkled old face looked disgusting like old tree bark, but his expression was calm and there was no trace of surprise.
It seemed that Pang Xi's death was already doomed.
Deng Zheng watched Pang Xi being set up as a hedgehog. His calm old face suddenly relaxed, and a happy mood arose in his heart. He was not as calm as before, but threw his head back and laughed, venting his resentment. Deng Fang
His death was a huge blow to Deng Zheng, not only because the white-haired man sent the black-haired man away, but also because the heir to the Deng family was shot dead.
Next to Deng Zheng, Duan Chi and Chen Xi shuddered when they saw Deng Zheng's expression.
Both of them thought that Deng Zheng was old. Now he looked old, vicious and frightening.
Following Pang Xi, Lingbao, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, and Deng Xian also led the soldiers out of the sea of fire. It was precisely because Pang Xi rushed out first and was shot dead that the four knew that there was a trap ahead and did not rush to the front first.
Instead, he hid in the middle of the soldiers on horseback and rushed out with the army to avoid being hit by arrows.
The first soldier to break out of the sea of fire was still hit by the incoming bows and arrows.
It was also because the soldiers at the front acted as shields and withstood a large number of bows and arrows that the soldiers behind were able to rush out of the sea of fire. The soldiers rushed out of the sea of fire in waves, and when they were running fast, Lingbao, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, and Deng
Xian also rushed out. The four of them were not harmed because they were surrounded by soldiers.
After Lingbao led the troops and rushed out, he roared and rushed forward with the sword in his hand.
Yang Huai, Gao Pei, and Deng Xian also led the soldiers who broke out of the siege and charged.
When the distance becomes shorter, bows and arrows for long-range attacks lose their usefulness.
The rest is a life-and-death hand-to-hand fight.
Lingbao and others relied on their outstanding martial arts skills to break out of the siege. They did not pay attention to the soldiers blocking the official road. Instead, they thought about killing the army blocking the front and taking revenge. Lingbao glanced at it and saw
Deng Zheng was sitting on the chariot, with a look of resentment in his eyes. Pang Xi was the first to rush out of the sea of fire, but was ambushed by Deng Zheng, and was shot into a hedgehog by random arrows. The coach was killed, and he was also responsible. As long as he beheaded
After Deng Zheng was defeated, Lingbao could also make meritorious service and atone for his sins.
Thinking of this, Lingbao waved the sword in his hand and rushed towards Deng Zheng.
At this moment, the surrounding fire was soaring into the sky, and the red fire illuminated the surrounding area. You could clearly see the surrounding scene. When Deng Zheng saw Lingbao rushing over, a sneer appeared on his face.
Sea of fire!
Bow and arrow!
The combination of these two strategies was lethal enough. However, Deng Zheng's plan was more than that. He led 30,000 private soldiers from the Nanzheng clan, of which more than 10,000 private soldiers were abandoned by Deng Zheng and used as cannon fodder.
Pang Xi led the troops in pursuit, and a third of the soldiers were killed or injured in a few days. Such heavy injuries, if it were just a sea of burning fire and a burst of random arrows, were far from enough, and felt inconsistent with Deng Zheng's style.
.
"Gun formation, attack!"
Deng Zheng shouted loudly, his voice was hoarse, but he was full of energy and did not look old at all.
This is Deng Zheng's third layout, first the sea of fire, then the bows and arrows, and finally the spear array attack.
One after another, a series of killings.
After the soldiers who were waiting attentively heard Deng Zheng's order, the soldiers standing at the front holding bows and arrows immediately retreated to make way for the spearmen who were slowly walking up from behind.
The spearmen were wearing armor and holding black iron spears in their hands. They were an elite group specially selected from the Nanzheng clan. The spearmen walked slowly forward. The soldiers standing in the front row and those scattered around all held their spears in their hands.
The spear was thrust out and he killed the Yizhou Army who was running towards him.
Lingbao, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, and Deng Xian originally wanted to lead the troops towards Deng Zheng, but they were blocked by the unexpected spearmen. Not only that, even the way to escape was blocked.
The moment Lingbao saw the spearmen, his eyelids kept twitching and he felt a chill on his back.
How do you rush past spearmen who are like hedgehogs?
After the charge, how many soldiers will survive?
Lingbao really didn't know what the consequences would be. At other times, Lingbao felt that the pikemen appearing in front were easy to deal with. Because the pikemen were very slow, the battle formation was not easy to change, and they were rigid and inflexible. However, he
Behind him was a scorching sea of fire, and the scorching temperature had already curled the beard under his chin. The current situation meant that he could not retreat and could only continue to charge forward.
"what to do?"
"what to do?"
…
Lingbao kept asking herself, how should I deal with it?
Looking at the pikemen who were getting closer and closer, Lingbao felt impatient. Suddenly, he had an idea and shouted: "Yang Huai, Gao Pei, and Deng Xian, break out separately, break out separately!" After the words fell, Lingbao led the soldiers.
They rushed towards the left edge of the pikemen, while Yang Huai and Gao Pei chose to charge together and break through to the right edge. Deng Xian gritted his teeth, he did not follow Yang Huai, and rode his horse in the direction of Lingbao.
In fact, the army was divided into four directions, which were most suitable for escape.
Now, the army is divided into two groups, so that the pikemen do not have to disperse.
Lingbao and Deng Xian broke through toward the left edge, and Gao Pei and Yang Huai broke through toward the right edge.
When Deng Zheng saw that the Yizhou army was divided into two groups, a sneer appeared on his wrinkled old face.
So what if we break out? Of the four thousand elite soldiers, as many as a thousand died in the sea of fire, and more than a thousand were killed by bows and arrows. Even if the remaining two thousand soldiers escaped, they were physically and mentally exhausted. Now,
Facing the hedgehog-like spear again, the casualties will be even more severe.
Lingbao and Deng Xian led the charge, and in the blink of an eye, they encountered spearmen.
"Puff! Puff!..."
The spear pierced the armor of the soldier, instantly piercing the armor and forcing into the soldier's skin. Black iron spears protruded out, forming a dense forest of death. Most of the soldiers who rushed forward were stabbed by the spears.
.A complete body, from top to bottom, full of bloody holes poked by spears.
Blood kept splattering.
Roaring sounds kept sounding.
The Yizhou soldiers were crying and struggling hard to survive; however, the private soldiers of the Nanzheng clan showed ferocious smiles. After being chased for so many days, they finally felt proud and proud. Looking at each corpse
The body of the Yizhou soldier fell under the spear, and the soldiers holding the spear were full of pride. At the same time, they clenched their spears and continued to move forward, hoping to kill more Yizhou soldiers.
Lingbao and Deng Xian jointly charged. Although they suffered heavy casualties, they still broke out on a bloody road. Too many soldiers died on this bloody road. Too many soldiers died under spears and died of hatred.
After the two people rushed out, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Lingbao's hands kept trembling, and there was a look of panic in his eyes. The war horse under his crotch had been killed long ago, and he rushed out of the heavy siege on foot. By now, the blade of the sword in his hand had been chopped and curled.
He no longer remembers how many people he killed, only that he came out alive.
Lingbao was not injured, but Deng Xian's body was covered with injuries. His shoulder blades, thighs, chest and abdomen were all scratched by spear points. Fortunately, Deng Xian was good at martial arts and killed them all quickly.
The soldier who used the spear died, so that the spear did not penetrate his body.
Just as the two of them were breathing a sigh of relief, a high-pitched scream came from behind.
The two men looked back and saw that Yang Huai and Gao Pei were both stabbed to death with spears.
Unlike Lingbao and Deng Xian, Yang Huai and Gao Pei received special treatment from the pikemen. Each pikeman was like a tiger in heat, constantly rushing to stop Yang Huai and Gao Pei.
In a confrontation, the horses of Yang Huai and Gao Pei were killed.
The two fell off their horses, and were greeted by sharp spears showing cold murderous intent.
The tip of the spear flashed, and the two men were instantly killed by the swarming spearmen.
Lingbao looked at Yang Huai and Gao Pei, who were dead bodies with blood holes all over their bodies, and then at Deng Zheng, who was sitting on the chariot with a normal expression. There was a look of unwillingness in his eyes. If Pang Xi followed his advice,
, pursued the Hanzhong Army for a while and then immediately retreated. How could such a result occur?
For the current plan, he can only try his best to escape and join the 16,000 soldiers who are coming non-stop to preserve his strength. Thinking of this, Lingbao shouted: "Evacuate!"
He spread his legs and fled with the soldiers as hard as he could.
Deng Xian followed Lingbao and ran away quickly.
Next to Deng Zheng, Chen Xi saw Lingbao escaping, and sighed in his heart that the two of them were not killed by the spearmen. He hurriedly said: "Mr. Deng, two thieves have escaped. Hurry up and give the order to pursue them!"
Deng Zheng shook his head and said: "Don't chase the poor enemy. We have already achieved such results, which is enough!"
After finishing speaking, Deng Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and stopped talking.
In this battle, the commander-in-chief of the Yizhou Army, Pang Xi, was killed, and two generals, Yang Huai and Gao Pei, were killed. All 4,000 elite Yizhou Army troops were lost, but the remaining 16,000 troops had no knowledge of it.
After Lingbao and Deng Xian escaped, they hurried towards the Yizhou Army.
Duan Chi and Chen Xi looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.
Deng is an old fox, vicious and cunning. He must have a certain reason when he says he won't pursue him.
