    Ding Chou leaned on the horse, his sword had been polished to a bright shine. He choked and inserted the sword in, then pulled it out, inserted it in again, and pulled it out again. Behind him, there were ten thousand Lucheng camp soldiers.  They were fully armed and sitting on the ground, occupying a large area in darkness, but it was extremely quiet. The veterans who had been in battle for a long time closed their eyes and rested, while the soldiers who had fought several battles stared intently at the waving people in the distance.  The flag was raised, and the new recruits who had just been added had expressions of excitement and uncontrollable nervousness on their faces.

    In the distance, a man with a small signal flag on his back galloped towards him. Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Ding Qiu Keng returned his sword to its sheath and stood up straight.

    "General Ding, camp order!" The messenger got off his horse and handed a letter sealed with fire paint to Ding Chou.

    It was torn open with a crash, and Ding Chou read the order word by word. He tore the letter into pieces and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing it, he swallowed it raw. His eyes gleamed and he beat the fine steel.  He put on the homemade mask carefully, got on his horse, reached out and pulled out the spear stuck beside the horse, and suddenly raised the spear high.

    The flag officer raised the flag and waved it vigorously in the air. Three drums sounded. The soldiers of the Ten Thousand Lu City Camp not far away suddenly stood up with a roar, and their armors clashed with each other.

    "Conquer the Northern Army!" Ding Chou shouted.

    ¡°Ten thousand victories!¡± tens of thousands of soldiers responded in unison.

    "Attack!" Ding Chou shouted the order, pointing his spear forward.

    The sound of hoofbeats sounded, and the cavalry took the lead, running past Ding Chou one by one.

    "First sentry, first team, let's go!" Following the shout of an officer, the two teams of soldiers strode out of the military formation and strode forward side by side.

    One order after another kept ringing, and one group after another of soldiers began to embark on the journey.

    Ding Chou¡¯s mission was to appear in Bukou at the most appropriate time, and gather with Lou Xiang¡¯s troops to annihilate the Tiger Guard¡¯s vanguard battalion led by Huang Hong.

    Zhang Wei was sitting on a carriage dragging heavy armor. He looked at Jiang Xu who was walking around not far away. He was quite tall. In fact, there was no weak person in the entire Mo Dao team.  , his body is weak, not to mention lifting the Mo Dao to kill, even the heavy armor can crush him, but compared with Jiang Xu, he is really nothing. This guy is simply a humanoid beast, dragging  Mo Dao, who weighs several dozen kilograms, has been walking around for so long without feeling tired or bored at all. It seems impossible for him to sit down. Looking at Jiang Xu's body, he suddenly thought of Wang Xiner's excitement and timidity.  With a timid look on his face, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. The couple seemed to complement each other perfectly.

    As if sensing something, Jiang Xu turned to look at Zhang Wei and laughed. Looking at Jiang Xu's honest smile, Zhang Wei laughed happily. Jiang Xu is a loyal person, despite his big body.  , looks fierce, but at home he is eaten to death by the petite Wang Xiner. He is told to go east and dare not go west, and he is told to sit down and dare not stand up. Zhang Wei is particularly satisfied with Jiang Xu, a subordinate who is loyal and honest.  , has no concept of what power is. As his deputy, he is just a decoration and never does anything. And because of his special status, he can even block himself from open and secret attacks. As a person who later joined the Northern Conquest Army  A general who has such a deputy is his blessing.

    This is his first battle after joining the Northern Conquest Army, but it is also likely to be the last battle. Su Can's Tiger Guard is already the last elite unit of the Dai Viet imperial court, and this time it falls into the trap of the Northern Conquest Army.  There was no day to turn around, and I suddenly remembered that I was going to return to Shangjing as a conqueror, and I couldn't help but feel strange in my heart.

    There were 5,000 Modao troops who followed him here. It was said to be 5,000 people, but the real number reached 8,000. The remaining 3,000 were the auxiliary soldiers of the Modao troops, just dragging the Modao soldiers, armor and weapons.  There are hundreds of carriages. What kind of scene would it be like for five thousand swordsmen to line up to fight? Although Zhang Wei is the leader of the warriors, he has never seen it before. Just thinking about it makes him excited.  , that is the ocean of sharp knives.

    There was a sudden sound of horse hooves coming from afar. Zhang Wei looked up and saw the messenger with a red flag on his back driving quickly from a distance. He straightened his back and jumped down from the carriage.

    "General Zhang Wei, orders from the camp!" The messenger handed over the letter sealed with lacquer.

    After tearing open the letter and reading it carefully, Jiang Xu rushed over like the wind, put Shuo Zai's head over Bu, and looked at the order with Zhang Wei. This was against the rules, but in front of Jiang Xu, these rules  It does not exist and is not applicable.

    "The time has come!" Zhang Wei looked at Jiang Xu with a smile.

    Jiang Xu looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, raising the Mo Dao high, "Boys, get up, let's start!"

    The war drums sounded loudly, and the Modao team began to advance slowly.

    In the other direction of Linfeng, Pu Demeng stood up from Huo Di after the big case and said, "Call to my general, the Yizhou Battalion began to attack Linfeng, and ordered the Yan Xiaoyi Cavalry Battalion to cut off the retreat of the Tiger Guards guarding Linfeng and surround Linfeng.  ."

    In the main camp of Yizhou Camp, the sound of war drums rang loudly. The soldiers left the camp and headed ten miles away.Linfeng rushed forward quickly. Yan Xiaoyi's cavalry battalion of 5,000 people on the left wing of the battlefield made a large circle and rushed toward the Bauhinia Ridge behind Linfeng.

    At the same time, Yun Zhao's guard camp, Zhamuhe, Malihan, and Tuoli's cavalry were also moving towards this battlefield. In the south, Quan Yifeng and Su Dingfang were also traveling day and night to attack this battlefield.  Location. In this battle of annihilation, the most important thing is to grasp the time. In Yun Zhao's plan, he will cut the 50,000 Tiger Guards into three sections, the forward camp Huang Hong will be in one section, Su Can's main force will be in one section, Jiang Shoude,  Li Dewu's rear-end team was divided into one section. In order to completely annihilate Su Can's 50,000 Tiger Guards, Yun Zhao mobilized nearly 100,000 troops including Yizhou Camp, Lucheng Camp, Mo Dao Team, Meng Division Cavalry, and Quan Yi Fenghe  Su Dingfang's two main battle battalions as reserves totaled more than 50,000 people. It could be said that Yun Zhao was bound to win.

    The war first started in Linfeng.

    At the foot of Linfeng City, Li Dewu led 5,000 tiger guards to form an array near the city. Linfeng City was too small. If he retreated into the city, he would only have to move with his back and get beaten. The 10,000 tiger guards left behind were divided into two groups, and one group went out to fight.  One unit was protected by the city. Of course, only troops like the Huwei had the confidence to engage in field battles with the Northern Army. In Anling, Xing Shu had more combat troops and did not have the courage to go out of the city to fight against the Northern Army.  A fight to the death.

    The five thousand Tiger Guards were divided into three deep sections outside the city. Each section had about five rows of soldiers. A large number of archers were placed in the middle of each section. As for the long-range attack, it was completed by Jiang Shoude on the city.

    After Yizhou Battalion forward commander Huang Rui arrived in Linfeng, he launched a fierce attack on Linfeng without the slightest hesitation.

    Above and below the city, thunderbolt shells were flying in the air, suppressing each other. Both sides had demon-killing crossbows. The screams of tens of thousands of crossbow arrows covered up the loud shouts of the soldiers on both sides. The crossbow arrows were so dense that  Many arrows actually collided in the air and both fell down.

    Holding a shield in one hand and a sword and gun in the other, the soldiers of Yizhou Camp's forward battalion shouted and rushed towards the first section of the Tiger Guard's defensive line. The path of the charge was a dance on the tip of the knife. With every step, someone would fall.  The latecomers continued to move forward without any pause.

    Li Dewu himself stood in the middle of the first section of the defense line. Looking at the approaching Yizhou Battalion soldiers, he drew his saber with a swipe and shouted angrily: "Brothers, charge!" He held up his shield and was the first one.  Jumping out, the Tiger Guards let out a shout and rushed upstream against the Yizhou Camp. As the first section rushed up, the second section of the Tiger Guards stepped forward amidst the shouts, firmly occupying the first place.  Duan Huwei was in the previous position, and the archers between the two previous sections had retreated behind them. Hundreds of long bows were raised high, and arrows were shot diagonally into the sky. After reaching the highest point, they turned back towards the sky.  Next, they conducted interception fire on the Northern Expeditionary Army.

    There were about a thousand Tiger Guards in the first section where Li Defeng led his troops to rush out.

    Huang Rui invested about 3,000 people for the first time. After going through the journey of death and paying the price of hundreds of people, he got his wish and started a hand-to-hand fight with his opponent.

    The Tiger Guard is not a suppressing army. In the south, the Yizhou Battalion has had many battles with its opponents. Both sides know the basics of the situation without any temptation. They just rely on their fists and knives to speak.

    The morale of the Northern Expeditionary Army is high, and the Tiger Guards are determined to fight to the death. The collision between the two armies is a true battle between the strong.

    A tiger guard of more than a thousand people is stationed in the Bauhinia Ridge behind Linfeng. Their task is to maintain a passage for the Tiger Guard in Linfeng. A simple military stronghold is built on the Bauhinia Ridge, and more than a thousand Tiger Guards are stationed there.  Here, Su Can's main force has passed through here for more than a day, and Linfeng must have started by this time.

    At the sentry tower on Bauhinia Ridge, the soldier's eyes were suddenly attracted by several fast-moving black spots. They were getting closer, closer, but now he saw not just a few black spots, but several of his own sentries.  Behind him, the enemy cavalry was chasing closely, and the fluttering flag with the word "Yan" had already indicated that the enemy cavalry belonged to Yan Xiaoyi's cavalry battalion.

    Su Can sent out a large number of sentries in this area, but these sentries basically never came back. Under the attack of the Northern Conquest Army, which had an absolute advantage in cavalry, Su Can's sentries wanted to survive.  It is extremely difficult to get down. In other words, Su Can basically has no idea what is going on dozens of miles away.

    The three-eyed tiger opened his bow and nocked an arrow. With a whoosh, the arrow came out of the string. The tiger guard sentry rider who was running at the end leaned forward. On his vest, there was a trembling arrow stuck on the top of his horse.  After a few strokes, the knight fell under his horse.

    The three-eyed tiger's archery skills are extremely good, but under the cover of people like Yun Zhao and Jamuka, his reputation is not obvious. If we really talk about archery skills, he can be ranked firmly in the Northern Expedition Army.  Top three.

    The horse galloped wildly, sharp arrows shot out from his hands one after another, and one after another the Tiger Guards fell off their horses.

    The last Tiger Guards cavalry seemed to have understood his fate. He could hear the rapid sound of horse hooves behind him clearly, but there were no companions around him. He pulled the reins and the horse circled in an arc and turned around.  When he came forward, he actually drew his sword and pounced on the tide.??The surging cavalry battalion of cavalry.

    This circle allowed him to avoid the three-eyed tiger, but he bumped into Yan Xiaoyi. Yan Xiaoyi's face was expressionless, and he didn't seem to see the oncoming opponent in his eyes. The two horses were staggered, and the sharp saber in his hand was  One drag after another, and the saber of the Tiger Guard cavalry flew into the sky. Another drag, and a line of blood immediately appeared on the Tiger Guard's neck. He fell off the horse without saying a word.

    The more than a thousand infantrymen on Zijing Ridge saw thousands of galloping cavalry, all with pale faces. They were in position across the fence, and hundreds of archers drew their bows and aimed downwards.

    Without any pause, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion ran along the gentle slope of Bauhinia Ridge toward the military camp above. They already knew the terrain here, the garrison here, and all the specific conditions here. The first wave of hundreds of cavalrymen  In the process of running up the hill, it has become a single team led by the three-eyed tiger. Each horse is several meters away from the previous horse.

    A noose appeared in the hands of the three-eyed tiger. He kept shaking it with a ferocious smile on his face. The war horse passed the fence where the army entered the camp like lightning. The arrows inside shot out. The three-eyed tiger and the horse were fast.  He had already passed by, and behind him, dozens of cavalrymen had been struck by arrows and fell from their horses.

    The noose was accurately placed on a fence. As the three-eyed tiger shouted, he exerted his strength with his arms, and with the help of horse power, a fence was uprooted. Almost at the same time, the noose was in the hands of the cavalry following behind him.  They all flew out and were lassoed on the fence. As the horses passed by, one fence after another was pulled up. Finally, a whole row of fences fell down.

    This first wave of cavalry attacks destroyed the fences of the military stronghold.

    The second wave of cavalry led by Hao Ren arrived in time.

    They raised their bows and nocked arrows, and they fired the sharp arrows in their hands fiercely. The cavalry battalion soldiers' running and shooting skills were no less than those of the elite meng cavalry. From the top to the Bauhinia Ridge and down the side, each of them shot at least three to  Five feather arrows.

    Thousands of cavalrymen each shot three to five arrows. In other words, during these few moments of respite, the Tiger Guards on Bauhinia Ridge received the baptism of thousands of feathered arrows.

    The originally neat military formation has become messy.

    The final blow came immediately. When the last of Hao Ren's cavalry had just passed between the disorganized formations of the Tiger Guard, Yan Xiaoyi had already appeared in front of them. This time, Yan Xiaoyi's cavalry was  He ran directly towards the military formation, the war horse rose into the air, and the huge horse hooves kicked down hard from the air. Yan Xiaoyi leaned over, swung his sword, and a bloody head rose into the sky. Thousands of cavalry rushed in and crashed into  Zijingling Military Village.

    Sabers were waved, screams were heard, and in less than an hour, everything was over. Groups of cavalry ran up from Bauhinia Ridge, and behind them were ruins.

    Huang Hong's heart was heavy. This rush to Beijing was also an action for a strong man to break a bowl. Jiang Shoude and Li Dewu who stayed in Linfeng were determined to become the food of the Northern Army. The military camp on Bauhinia Ridge  , rather than leaving a way out for them, it would rather be a comfort to them.

    Sentinel cavalry were sent out, and all of them came back. Very few of them came back, and the news they brought was not good. Ding Chou was not far from him, and he was also rushing to Bukou, but he was lagging behind.  Fortunately, he was half a day's journey behind. If he had been half a day ahead and appeared under Bukou to launch a fierce attack on Bukou, Huang Hong was really worried about whether Lou Xiang could withstand it. For Lou Xiang's troops  Huang Hong was worried about his combat power. The sooner he arrived at Bukou, the sooner he would feel at ease.

    "Speed ??up, speed up!" He kept urging his subordinates. The impatient Huang Hong walked at the forefront of the team.

    Pukou was finally in sight, and the military flag with the word "Lou" flying above the city tower was clearly visible. "Whoever is coming, please notify Lou Xiang immediately, open the city gate, and prepare to welcome the Tiger Guards into the city." Huang Hong ordered loudly.

    Seeing Pukou, almost all the soldiers in the forward battalion breathed a sigh of relief.

    Obviously, soldiers from the Lou tribe in Pukou not far away also discovered them. On Pukou City, drums and trumpets were blaring, obviously welcoming their arrival. Huang Hong had a smile on his face.

    The smile had just bloomed on his face, but it had already condensed. Huang Hong saw another flag raised next to the Lou flag. It was the battle flag of the Northern Expeditionary Army. He reined in his horse and froze in place.

    Lou Xiang, conquer the Northern Army? Conquer the Northern Army, Lou Xiang!

    I was fooled, this is a trap. Why did Lou Xiang conquer Pukou? Lou Xiang had already defected to the Northern Expedition Army. All of this was just to lure the snake out of its hole, and to mobilize the 50,000 Tiger Guards from Linfeng.  Divide and annihilate.

    "General Huang!" His subordinates rushed to his side one after another, with panic on their faces. Everything in front of them made them confused.

    "Tell the brothers, we only have half a day to fight. We can't take Pukou in half a day. This is our tomb!" Huang Hong said these words from between his teeth. The Northern Expedition Army led by Ding Chou was only half a day away from him.  effort."Charge forward and capture Bukou!" Huang Hong roared at the top of his lungs.

    Shewenzhuang, Lou Xiang, and Lin Zhiyuan stood on the Pukou city tower and looked at the roaring Tiger Guards. Lou Xiang sneered and said, "Mom, that's not a good idea. You really think I have twenty thousand."  The Luzhou town army is a piece of paper!"

    She Wencheng smiled and said nothing, "Brother Lou, Zhiyuan, the war is your business. I can only beat the drum to cheer. I can't carry a knife."

    "Mr. She, please take a look at it!" Lou Xiang said with a smile.

    Ding Chou was only two hours away from Pukou. As he got closer to Pukou, the speed of his troops became faster and faster. The control of time is the key point in this battle. This time must be  Meng Yao and Zhang Wei also started taking action.

    No matter how fierce and powerful the Tiger Guard is, it is impossible to capture Bukou in two or three hours. Even if Lou Xiang's 20,000 Luzhou town troops had 20,000 pigs, Huang Hong would have to kill them for half a day. More  What's more, now that Lou Xiang has just taken effect, he is in a feverish mood for meritorious service!

    At the bottom of Luofeng Slope, Zhang Wei's 5,000 Modao team was already in position. Behind him, the main force of Meng Yao's 20,000 Lu City Battalion lined up along the bottom of Luofeng City to the top of the slope.

    "Wear armor!" Zhang Wei shouted loudly. With the help of the auxiliary soldiers, the five thousand swordsmen quickly put on the heavy armor.

    "Hold the blade!" Another loud shout came. The auxiliary soldiers tore off the oilcloth wrapping the blade of the Mo Dao and handed it to their hands.

    "Array!"

    There was a sound of heavy iron armor clashing, and one after another the steel figures stood together, three meters in a row, three meters in a row, extending out over the wilderness.

    At the front of the team, the humanoid beast Jiang Xu is holding his Mo Dao and staring into the distance excitedly.rs!  .
