For a while, the bandits kept shouting and killing, and the momentum was terrifying. They even fought to a draw with Beiduo and his own officers and soldiers, forcing them to retreat step by step.

Qi Shamu was even more brave. The horse in his hand was like a soul flag urging death. Every move caused casualties among the officers and soldiers. For a time, no one could survive the attack. The officers and soldiers were so frightened that they retreated and did not dare to step forward.

Qi Shamu faced dozens of people, fiercely pulled the horse in his hand forward, and shouted: "Kill~~"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The thieves were already determined to die, and they didn't care about their formation at the moment. They held manure forks, axes, and iron knives and rushed towards the battle formation where the officers and soldiers were lined up. The area where the two sides came into contact was like a meat grinder, and it was bloody.

The strong smell of blood wafted in the wind, and the whole street was filled with the smell of death.

Behind the formation of the officers and soldiers, Li Yi couldn't help but show a look of shock on his face. The Taihang Mountain bandits were more brave than imagined!

You must know that the officers and soldiers are also trained in armor and are fully equipped, not to mention that there are heavily armored soldiers among the servants. In contrast, most of the bandits in the Taihang Mountains are in rags and have farm tools such as hammers and dung forks in their hands.

, the equipment of both sides can be said to be very different, but under the absolute weakness, the thieves relied on their brave fighting spirit to suppress the officers and soldiers who were far more than themselves. This cannot be said to be amazing.

.

These murderous and fearless men are undoubtedly the bravest soldiers on the battlefield. Li Yi couldn't help but imagine that if he could conquer them and equip them with heavy armor and sharp blades, these people would probably be the most bloodthirsty wolves.

, capable of swallowing everything.

But now, no matter how brave and skilled they are, they cannot escape the fate of destruction today!

Li Yi sighed leisurely, once these three thousand Taihang Mountain bandits were dead, the rest were all mobs. I am afraid that Taihang Mountain would not only be defeated inside the city, but without these bandits, Yue Bufan and others outside the city would no longer be able to fight against Ma Shiying's elite soldiers.

Outside Baoding City.

The burning fire gave off a dim light, and amid the smell of smoke, news of the city's emergency reached the Taihang Mountain camp.

"What did you say?" Yue Bufan glared at the panicked thief, "The city is frustrated and surrounded by officers and soldiers?"

"Take charge of the plate!" The little thief who was only sixteen years old did not dare to look at Yue Bufan's terrifying eyes and whispered, "For some reason, the government gathered the remaining soldiers in time and borrowed servants from wealthy families to raid our brothers. The two sides fought fiercely.

Our brothers suffered heavy casualties and are now fighting over the streets with them."

"In charge of the plate." The old scholar, who is the second in charge of the family, said, "The brothers in the city are the backbone of the various villages in the Taihang Mountains. They cannot be allowed to be consumed by the officers and soldiers."

The death of an elite soldier under his command will arouse suspicion and worry in various villages and shake the morale of the army. Yue Bufan also knows this truth and immediately said: "That's right. What can you do, sir?"

The old scholar heard this and said: "In my opinion, reinforcements should be sent to the city in time. On the one hand, they can help them resist the officers and soldiers, and on the other hand, they can speed up the transportation of money and food."

Yue Bufan hesitated when he heard this and said: "But my adoptive father once said that this food grab should not attract too much attention. And Li Yi and I also agreed to only send three thousand troops. Now we can break the contract?"

The old scholar paused slightly when he heard this. He was obviously in awe of the adoptive father mentioned by Yue Bufan. After thinking about it, he said: "My lord, the new concern of the adoptive father is that he does not want to overly stimulate the government and attract their attention. And with Li Yi,

The agreement was just a perfunctory joke at the time. How could we just sit back and watch the gangsters die? We are in charge of the plate. We can't be timid at this time."

There is no selfish love on the battlefield. Yue Bufan also knows this truth and does not care about the agreement with Li Yi.

Immediately he said: "In that case, I will send two thousand bandits to the city to meet them."

At this moment, a loud horn sound suddenly sounded from the officers and soldiers camp in the distance. Ma Shiying finally couldn't hold back and started to take action.

At this time, a scout came quickly and said in panic: "Report to the leader, the officers and soldiers have formed a formation and are about to kill."

Yue Bufan frowned when he heard this. It seemed that Ma Shiying already knew about the changes in the city. At this time, he raised troops to attack directly. It was obvious that he wanted to surround Wei and save Zhao. He wanted to take advantage of the turnaround in the city to attack the Taihang Mountain bandit army so that he would have no time to rescue the city.

"Hey, it seems that this Ma Shiying also understands military strategy, and is not a person who just eats nothing." Yue Bufan thought to himself, and immediately ordered: "Send the order, the leaders of each village will lead their troops in formation, as long as they can block the counterattack of the officers and soldiers, we will win a complete victory this time.

In addition, I sent someone to the city to tell Qi Shamu that if the two armies are fighting, I will not be able to send troops to help him, so that he can withdraw from Baoding City as soon as possible."

When the bandit soldiers nearby heard the order, they immediately stood up, each picked up a small flag, and left one after another.

At this time, the old scholar couldn't help but sigh: "A centipede insect is dead but not rigid. No matter how corrupt and chaotic the government is, it still has a profound background. It seems that this time we are in for a disaster."

Yue Bufan was also disappointed, "Ma Shiying is familiar with the art of war and has elite soldiers. I may not be able to defeat him. Now I can only wait and see what God will do."

The two of them were silent, and in the end they couldn't help but look towards the direction of Taihang Mountain. Neither of them knew why their adoptive father was urging this grain-grabbing war with all his strength.

The thieves and the officers and soldiers were still fighting in the city. The former officers and soldiers were not strong in combat, and the thieves were not afraid of death. They were beaten and retreated step by step, looking very embarrassed.

Although the former army was at a disadvantage, Li Yi was not anxious at all, but looked like he was in control.

At this time, a steward came forward, bowed his hands and said, "Sir, the servants have been reorganized. We are just waiting for your order."

Li Yi was not an official, so it would be inappropriate to call him a master. Moreover, he was young, wise, and talented. Officers, soldiers, and martial arts masters all called him Young Master to show their respect.

"Is it finally starting?"

Li Yi whispered to himself in a low voice, and a cruel arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Give the order, the officers and soldiers who have exhausted the bandits' energy will retreat, and the servants will press forward to give the thieves a head-on blow."

The messenger who had been standing beside Li Yi quickly raised the flag in his hand high and waved it twice vigorously.

In an instant, the entire military formation was like a huge machine, operating in an orderly manner under Li Yi's order.

"Put on armor~~Come forward~~"

"Shield ready~"

"boom!"

There were more than two hundred armored servants and soldiers in the front row arranged in eight rows, with dozens of people in each row, all walking quickly and holding up their shields.

The officers and soldiers in the front row who were fighting with the bandits quickly retreated to both sides to make way for the heavy troops.

The armored man walked thirty steps, then raised all the shields he gathered in his hands. With a loud roar, several cold walls were built, firmly protecting the light infantry and archers in the rear.

"Archers~~Forward~~"

More than five hundred archers trotted and came to line up behind the shield wall of the armored men.

For a time, the formation was stable and powerful, and the entire battlefield was filled with a chilling atmosphere.

When Lu Qianhu saw him from behind the formation, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "The timid officers and soldiers turned into tigers and wolves in the hands of Li Zizheng, as if they had been reborn. It's really miraculous."

Li Wensheng laughed after hearing this and said: "This is the beauty of Li Zizheng's superiority. If everyone is like this, will it show their talent?"

Lu Qianhu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Yes, yes. Li Zizheng is an extraordinary person, and he should be like this."

Li Yi asked the officers and soldiers to entangle the thieves and consume their physical strength and energy. On the other hand, he recruited armored officers and soldiers and archers and let them fight with the servants. Now is the time to kill with sharp edges. The success or failure depends on the battle.

"Attack..." the word burst out from Li Yi's mouth.
