Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 82 Bloodletting Them
"The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the long river sets in the sun!" In Wang Wei's poem, we can see that the lonely smoke is actually a signal to convey peace to the rear.Double smoke is a warning, and three wolf smoke represents the highest level of warning.

Looking at the smoke rising into the sky, Tian Luo knew that his surprise attack plan had failed.There will be a fierce battle waiting for them in the Immortal Valley.If it was a surprise attack, the five thousand Lu Longtian family army could easily defeat the so-called dead army in Banxiangu.However, in a siege battle, even an untrained farmer can be worth half an elite soldier.

Tian Luo rode up to the beacon tower, and saw a dozen immature faces.Tian Luo was a little surprised, they hadn't found the beacon tower on the shallow hill.If these teenagers hadn't lit the smoke, they could have escaped.However, at this time, with a wave of Tian Luo's purple gold hammer, Lu Longtian's begging army slowly surrounded this unsightly beacon tower.

Chief Qiu Xiaoliu nervously held the red-tasseled spear in his hand, standing on the crenel trembling, the enemy is coming, getting closer... They are not afraid. , I am not allowed to enter the ancestral grave; if I die for the country and become a god, the memorial tablet must be enshrined in the ancestral hall, and the cigarettes of future generations will be received forever, and the name will be like the grandfather, which will never be obliterated.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm not afraid!" Qiu Xiaoliu suddenly remembered the song Gao Jingjiao sang to them: "When the wolf smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north. The dragon rolls up, the horse grows and the sword is like frost, and the heart is like the water of the Yellow River. 20 Who can resist in the ages. Hate the direction of the sword. How many loyal brothers and sisters will be buried in other places..."

Ten or ten young soldiers of the dead army sang in unison, suppressing the fear in their hearts with their singing.At this time, Tian Luo was surprised to find that the ten young dead soldiers had left the crenel of the beacon tower, walked down the beacon tower slowly, and then rushed to the Lu Longtian clan's begging army.Lu Longtian's begging army was ready to attack the ten young dead soldiers.

Tian Luo stepped forward and shouted: "The descendant will not die, if you resist in the corner, you will be killed!"

Qiu Xiaoliu raised his chest high, closed his eyes, and said loudly: "Father, mother, fifth brother, younger sister... Xiaoliu is here to accompany you..."

There was no suspense in the battle, just a wave of arrows. The bodies of the ten young dead soldiers were already filled with dense arrows. Everyone was like a hedgehog.

Tian Luo was deeply shocked by the fearlessness shown by the young soldiers of the dead army.There is a saying that generals are not afraid of death, why should scholars be afraid of it.If an army is not afraid of death, then they will be invincible.No matter how poorly equipped and trained they are, they can defeat countless enemies with their unyielding faith in death.

Tian Luo clearly saw that the crossbowmen of Lu Longtian's begging army were shaking when they were shooting arrows.

There are five beacon towers within ten miles of each other, and it took only one stick of incense to report the enemy's situation to the defenders of Banxian Valley.At this time, the dead army was divided into three. Among them, 1000 people from Hu Guang's department were stationed in the Juesheng Fort. The outer city wall is still less than three feet high, and it will take at least four or five months for the decisive castle to be completed.

As for the other units of Zhang Tu and Nie Yanshi and the newly formed hoplites, a total of 500 troops, they were stationed in Tianjiabao.At this time, Tianjiabao has been renamed Dongyangbao.It can be regarded as the first real fortress owned by the dead army.When the news of the attack on Banxian Valley reached Banxian Valley, Gao Jingzong was teaching the students of Banxian Academy.

When Gao Jingzong heard the warning, he immediately arranged for all the students to go back to their homes and find their mothers.

When Ji Kan heard the early warning news, he immediately ordered the farmers who were continuing to reclaim wasteland outside the Immortal Valley to return to the Immortal Valley in a hurry. Materials, on the city wall or on the top of the mountain, fully on guard.

Fortunately, Lu Longtian's begging army had very few cavalry, less than [-] cavalry, and the rest were infantry, which gave Ji Kan enough time to prepare for battle.After marching for two and a half hours, Tian Luo's troops finally arrived at the Valley of Immortals.However, at this time, Banished Immortal Valley was already ready for battle.

After seeing the lineup of Lu Longtian's army, Ji Kan breathed a sigh of relief. With 5000 troops, just based on the three songs of the dead army in the Immortal Valley, they will definitely suffer a lot in the wild, but they will not be afraid of them if they defend the city and fight.

Tian Luo stepped forward and yelled: "Listen, those who are exiled from the Immortal Valley, I only want Gao Jingzong alone, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. If you don't want blood to flow into rivers, and you don't want to stay behind, just hand over Gao Jingzong!"

Tian Luo knew that these people in the Banished Immortal Valley were originally patients with ghost-faced sores from various armies and departments. They did not belong to each other, so it was impossible to work together. Dividing and wooing is the best way.

However, Tian Luo didn't realize that there was no unified group in Banxian Valley, but with Gao Jingzong, this group has a soul and a spiritual leader.

Ji Kan sneered and said: "Which family's doll doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. If you want to take the life of a high-ranking immortal, first ask whether the swords and guns in our hands will last long!"

"Toast, don't eat fine wine!" Tian Luo Zijin Hammer pointed forward obliquely: "They want to die, let's fulfill them. The crossbowman stepped forward and let them bleed!"

Lu Longtian's begging army and Jing Zhaotian's army are definitely not the same level of army.Lu Longtian's Qihuo army was also a regular field army. With the sound of the drums, all the bowmen who received the order came out.

Although the crossbows equipped by Lu Longtian's begging army bowmen are just ordinary mountain mulberry crossbows, which are far less powerful than three-stone foot-mounted crossbows, and there are more archers than crossbows, these one-stone hard bows are also not as powerful as foot-mounted crossbows. However, more than 2000 Lu Longtian begging army bows and crossbows shot at the same time, and the rain of arrows overwhelming the sky with more than [-] arrows is still very bluffing.

Ji Kan had been prepared for a long time, and the soldiers of the dead army lined up the rattan baskets filled with soil on the city wall. No matter whether they were light arrows or heavy arrows, they were powerless against this kind of rattan baskets filled with mud. They couldn't penetrate at all. To be bounced off means to be deeply inserted into the rattan basket.After a while, more than a hundred bare rattan baskets seemed to be covered with weeds.

Tian Luo saw that the crossbowman's shooting arrows did not kill a few defenders at all, except for wasting arrows or wasting arrows.Don't think that arrows don't cost money. In fact, the price of arrows is not cheap. Crossbow bolts cost 2 yuan each, and bows and arrows cost [-] yuan each. In just one round of shooting, more than [-] yuan is gone.After six or seven rounds of shooting, tens of thousands of dollars can be shot.

Although Lu Longtian's begging army is not poor, they can't be called rich, and they definitely don't have too much money for them to waste like this.Tian Luo only saw that there were no countermeasures in the city so far, and the arrows shot down were even two or three sparsely. Well, the defenders in the city must have been recruited temporarily and had no combat effectiveness. You can attack boldly with confidence!Tian Luo shouted: "Warriors, go below the city wall. Let them bleed with heavy arrows!"
