Astral Apostle

   Chapter 193 Fighting

   Some time ago, Hutoushan camp.

  The moonlight is cold and the mountain wind is cold.

  The camp was quite quiet. The people in Hutouzhai did not sleep, but took a nap with their weapons and were on standby.

  In the main tent, the four leaders of Hutoushan Mountain, as well as Guo Haishen and Fang Zhen, were quietly discussing the situation around the brazier.

   "Second brother gave an order when he left, if he succeeds, the enemy's main fortress will definitely be in chaos, and I have to wait and prepare to respond. I don't know what is going on at the moment."

  Guo Haishen stretched out his hand to bake and opened his mouth.

  Hong Ding first responded in a deep voice: "The sons are recharging their batteries and ready to attack at any time, but I'm afraid they are not suitable for night battles."

   In the plan finalized by everyone, Zhou Jing went to sneak in and beheaded. Once the enemy leader was taken, Huangdang Mountain would be headless. At that time, the main village would change, and the people would be panicked.

   And their two thousand or so horses were waiting for the opportunity, and when the opponent was in chaos, they immediately attacked the Fenzhai. They didn't want to break it. When Zhou Jing's side is completely resolved, they will be able to take down Huangdang Mountain with minimal casualties and without bloodshed.

  Peng Jin stroked his red beard and said with a smile, "Brother Chen Feng is very skilled in martial arts. This time, it's natural to capture him. During the day, Xu Gui underestimated me. When he is caught, I will definitely play with him."

   "Don't underestimate the enemy. We have played against Huang Dangshan many times, and Xu Gui has caused us a lot of losses. Maybe we are holding back some tricks." Hong Ding frowned first.

  Peng Jin waved his hand, didn't care much, and said casually:

"Brother Hong, don't want to raise other people's ambitions, then what plan can Xu Gui have right now? We have prepared the children, and we will always keep an eye on the gate of his branch, and we can immediately detect any movement. Can you sneak up on me without knowing it?"

  Whoa! !

   However, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a chaotic exclamation outside the tent.

   "Someone came in at the back door!"

   "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

   "Who? How many?!"

  The expressions of everyone changed in horror, and they hurried out.

  I saw a wave of enemies broke in from the back door without warning, and were rushing around in the camp, setting tents on fire.

   The guard posts at the rear of the camp were quietly removed without any advance warning.

  Most of the tiger-headed bandit soldiers were paying attention to the front, and they were suddenly kicked on the buttocks, and they were caught off guard.

  Fortunately, in order to attack at any time, Hutoushan's men and horses did not fall asleep, and their weapons were all on their bodies, so they were not defenseless, so they did not bomb the camp all at once.

   It's just that the goal of the Hutoushan troops on standby is to attack and respond, and they were not told by the leader to guard against the possibility of being attacked tonight, so they were not psychologically prepared.

   And the opponents could not be seen clearly in the dark, and there was still a panic and commotion among the crowd.

  More than 2,000 people were attacked, some screamed and ran away, some fought back, lost command, and fought each other. The tiger-headed bandit soldiers have little training, and their military literacy is not as strong as a serious army. When they are in chaos, they are like headless flies.

  Peng Jin and others were born in the rough, and they didn't learn any art of war in detail. The military affairs such as camp fortifications and sentry arrangements were quite simple.

   "Are the people from Huangdang Mountain? Where did they come from?!"

  Peng Jin's face changed suddenly.

  Guo Haishen shouted categorically: "It must be a small road! Don't worry about other things, gather the troops first to quell the chaos, and don't let these people continue to kill the Erlangs!"

   Hearing the words, everyone hurried into action, shouted loudly, and gathered the chaotic troops.

   However, before the people from Hutou Mountain could adjust, the gate of the branch village in Huangdang Mountain creaked open.

   rumbling—

   Intensive footsteps sounded, and I saw two or three thousand Huangdang Mountain bandit soldiers pouring out, charging towards the Hutoushan camp.

   "Follow me!"

   Yu Zhen shouted excitedly, holding a single sword, rushing ahead.

  He is the leader of Huangdangshan Mountain. He was born in a butcher.

   Seeing this, many thieves in Hutou Mountain went into chaos and panicked.

   "Don't mess up! Form an attack!"

   Peng Jin and other leaders saw that the situation was not good, so they had to separate their minds to deal with it and shouted loudly, only then did they organize a sparse manpower in the chaos to resist the onslaught of a large number of enemy troops.

   Not long after, two or three thousand Huangdang Mountain bandit soldiers slammed into the Hutoushan camp from the front.

"kill!"

   The shouting and killing sounded loudly.

   The two sides suddenly engaged in a hand-to-hand fight.

  The Hutoushan troops were double-teamed by two waves of enemy troops. The enemy was attacked on both sides. Although it was not a one-touch collapse, it was also turned over, subconsciously shrinking the formation and carrying it hard, and the situation was critical.

   "Hahaha, the little ones rush with me!"

   Yu Zhen laughed wildly, chopped down two minions, and shouted excitedly.

   Fang Zhen was the closest, noticed the enemy leader, and immediately shouted:

   "Damn, I'll meet you!"

   After saying that, he flew up, smashed over several enemies with an iron-headed club, and went straight to Yu Zhen to kill.

   "Good come!" Yu Zhen didn't recognize Fang Zhen, and stood up to meet him without fear.

  The two quickly approached, and soon they fought each other, and Ding Ling was fighting into a ball.

   Knives and sticks went back and forth, slashing each other continuously, making loud bangs and vibrating endlessly.

   "This raw face is so powerful!"

   Yu Zhen's complexion soon changed, and his arms went numb.

   On the other side, Hong Dingxian was leading people to intercept the enemy who was attacking the camp from the rear, and he also found a known leader of Huangdangshan, but it was Tang Guang, the "four-handed Arhat".

   He didn't say a word, went up to kill the general with a sword, and shouted:

   "Hugh, surnamed Tang!"

  Tang Guang turned his head to see him, and immediately complained.

   Huangdangshan and Hutoushan have fought many times, and no one on the mountain can beat this "golden sword" Hong Dingxian. He knows that he is not an opponent.

  Only Deng Zhi, who recently joined the team, has extraordinary martial skills and is currently the number one expert in Huang Dangshan. He may be able to fight against this person... It's just that Deng Zhi is in ambush at the moment, but he doesn't do anything.

  ‘Even if I can’t beat him, I’ll entangle this surnamed Hong for a while! ’

   Tang Guang shook his heart and shouted to greet Hong Dingxian.

   His weapon is a pair of daggers, the length of which is like a dagger, and the offensive is fierce.

   is only against Hong Dingxian, who is superb in swordsmanship. He only has the chance to fight and retreat.

at the same time

In the forest behind   , there is also a group of Huangdangshan soldiers and horses with hundreds of people hiding in it and setting up traps.

  Deng Zhi is the commander of this ambush, and his task is to wait for Chen Feng to take action and lead him into the siege.

   He did not participate in the battle at the moment, but hid in the bushes and watched the battle from a distance.

  Although the attack on the camp was successful, Huang Dangshan had the upper hand, but Deng Zhi's face was solemn, and he was not happy at all.

   Because he didn't find Zhou Jing's figure on the battlefield at all.

   "The situation is so critical, why didn't Chen Feng take action? Could it be that he has other plans?!"

  Deng Zhi was a little restless and uneasy, he couldn't help but think wildly, but his palms were full of sweat.

  Although he didn't see Zhou Jing's face at all at this time, he was more nervous than anyone else. It was because Zhou Jing left a deep psychological shadow on him.

   At this moment, he suddenly heard a panicked cry from Tang Guang in the camp not far away.

   "Oh, Brother Deng, come and help me, I'm not this guy's opponent!"

  Deng Zhi hurriedly regained his senses, looked carefully by the firelight in the camp, and found that the Huangdangshan leaders were being chased and beaten by the opponent's masters, and it was quite difficult to resist.

Although    had the advantage of the night attack, the several Huangdangshan leaders who were fighting on the field were far inferior to the other leaders in their martial arts, so they couldn't stand it.

   "My days are short when I go up the mountain. If I sit and watch them suffer, I will hate them."

  Deng Zhi's face changed, his heart was stunned, he quickly ordered dozens of people, and rushed out with him.

   "Brothers, don't panic, I'll come too!"

   He strode into the battlefield with an iron-ridged spear in his hand, like a cold plum spit, and he turned over several people.

  Deng Zhi quickly dashed away the minions, supported Tang Guang, and slanted a shot to intercept Hong Dingxian's golden sword.

  Clang!

   Knives and guns clashed, humming and vibrating.

   Both of them were numb in their arms, and each took three or four steps back, secretly shocked that the other party was not bad at martial arts.

  Hong Ding first erected the golden sword, looked at Deng Zhi who was stabbed out of the slash, and shouted: "When did Huangdangshan have such a person? Who are you, sign up!"

   "If you don't change your name, sit or change your surname, I will call you Deng Zhi!"

   Deng Zhi swung the Iron Ridge Spear sideways and responded in a deep voice.

  Hong Ding first saw the thorns on this man's face by the firelight, and immediately snorted: "It turned out to be a thief."

  Tang Guang was beaten by Hong Dingxian before, but he was supported at this time and finally had a chance to breathe.

   He clenched his daggers and said eagerly, "Brother Deng, you and I will join hands to take down this surnamed Hong!"

   "Come, come, you two come together, what am I afraid of?!"

   Hearing this, Hong Dingxian was not afraid at all.

  Deng Zhi didn't want to delay, and said in a low voice, "Your opponent is highly skilled in martial arts, Brother Tang, you go back and don't fight."

   Hearing this, Tang Guang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then leave it to Brother Deng", then turned around and left.

   Hong Ding saw this and was about to chase, but was stopped by Deng Zhi.

   ding ding dong——

  The two went back and forth with knives and guns, and fought for several rounds, but they couldn't help each other for a while.

  Deng Zhi saw that this man was very skilled in martial arts and had no intention of fighting, so he simply feinted a shot, lured Hong Ding to dodge to the side first, and then retreated by himself, letting the minions stop the opponent.

   He rushed to rescue the other leaders, turned into the wind, the gun was cold, and quickly helped the leaders to clear the siege, and finally supported Yu Zhen.

  I saw Deng Zhi's hands shaking, the iron ridge spear came out of the hole like a poisonous dragon, and stabbed Fang Zhen in the oblique stab.

  Clang!

   The evil wind struck, Fang Zhenzhen stunned, swung the stick to fire the gun, and quickly stepped back.

   He scrutinized Deng Zhi carefully, and felt quite familiar.

   "Hey, I seem to have seen you... Aren't you the military attache who was frightened by my second brother in Anlin Mansion?"

  Fang Zhen recognized each other very quickly.

   Hearing the words, Deng Zhi burst into anger and said:

   "If it wasn't for your gift, how could I be living in the grass? Thief, look at the gun!"

   He shouted loudly, the Iron Ridge Spear swiped in his palm, stabbed in a series of stabs, and the wind howled.

  Fang Zhen snorted coldly, not afraid at all, the iron-headed stick smashed the rungs with great strength, seeing the move.

   crack crack —

   The two fought for a while, and they were evenly matched.

  Yu Zhen wanted to help, but Deng Zhi told him to retreat, so he had to withdraw.

   But at this moment, Guo Haishen came to support him.

   When Yu Zhen saw this, he wanted to do it, but suddenly he noticed that his casserole-like fist was rapidly expanding in his sight.

  !

   With one punch, Yu Zhen was knocked to the ground, too dizzy to get up.

  Guo Haishen shook his hand, then looked at Deng Zhi, his eyes widened, and he drank like thunder:

   "It turns out that it was you, a dog official! You helped the monarch and took me into prison with others, and the account will be settled with you today!"

   As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards him, his strength was condensed like a mountain, and his fists were pouring backwards.

   Every punch is like a crossbow bursting out, extremely fierce!

   "It's you!" Deng Zhi was shocked and hurriedly parried.

   However, he was not Guo Haishen's opponent. He was smashed to the left and right by a pair of iron fists, and his spear skills could not be used at all.

  Deng Zhi once fought drunken Guo Haishen with his colleagues, and his memory is still fresh. He knows that this person is excellent in martial arts, and he is definitely not an opponent when he fights alone.

   "There are too many experts in this group!"

  Deng Zhi was surprised, and immediately wanted to retreat.

   As soon as he gritted his teeth, he simply took Guo Haishen's two punches, took Fang Zhen's stick again, spat out a mouthful of blood, took advantage of the gun and fled, and ran away all the way.

  Guo Haishen wanted to chase after him, but he was surrounded by thieves in Huangdang Mountain and was hindered many times.

   "Brother, stop chasing, the situation is not good!"

   Fang Zhen hurriedly discouraged.

  Guo Haishen looked around and found that the battlefield situation was very bad, and he couldn't help but shudder.

   Huang Dangshan was already crowded and had home field advantage, so he was still attacking from both sides.

   "Damn, if my second brother is here, how can they be so arrogant!"

   Guo Hai gritted his teeth.

   However, at this moment, an exclamation and uproar suddenly sounded among the bandits in Huangdangshan.

   "Look there!"

   "Why did the main village catch fire?!"

   Everyone looked at the sound, and they were all shocked.

   But when the fire was soaring into the sky, the main village of Huangdang Mountain on the cliff was burning like a torch, which was extremely conspicuous in the night.

   As more and more people saw this scene, the thieves in Huangdang Mountain were in shock, Ruhong's morale suddenly stagnated, and even the offensive slowed down, giving Hutoushan a rare chance to breathe.

   Guo Haishen's eyes flashed, seized the opportunity and shouted:

   "We sent troops to surprise the main village, and now we have succeeded! You wait for the big village to be broken, why don't you surrender quickly?!"

  Fang Zhen woke up immediately, shouted for cooperation, and encouraged the tiger-headed bandit soldiers to shout together.

   humming——

   After a short while, the sound spread throughout the battlefield.

   Huang Dangshan's troops heard this and did not know if it was true or not.

   Deng Zhi, who ran far away, also found out that the main village was on fire, and suddenly his color changed:

   "Not good! The rear has changed, people's hearts are floating, this battle is hard to say!"

   At this moment, a thunderous noise resounded through the night sky!

  ! !

   In the stunned gaze of thousands of people, I saw a large piece of the cliff collapsed, rolling stones all over the mountain, and rumbled down.

   bang bang bang ——

   In front of everyone's eyes, a small half of the branch was smashed down!

   Seeing this scene, all Huangdang Mountain thieves were stunned.

   At this moment, they were like frozen blood, cold into the bone marrow.

   "It's over, the stockade is gone!"

   "Run!"

   Huang Dangshan's troops burst into flames, and their morale collapsed instantly!

"kill!"

  The Hutoushan troops were overjoyed and imposing, and under the excited call of the leader, seized the opportunity to fight back.

  The way of retreat has been lost, there is nowhere to go, people’s hearts are floating, and they are panicking... The thieves in Huangdang Mountain have no intention of fighting again, and they were beaten to pieces in an instant.

   Great advantage, instantly reversed!

  Deng Zhi's face changed greatly: "This war is over!"

He didn't dare to fight at all, pushed aside the panic-stricken allies, rushed out of the battlefield, returned to the forest where he had been ambushed before, and withdrew without a word, and went straight to the secret road when he came, planning to Quickly go to the main village to control the situation.

   In his opinion, as long as the main fortress can be stabilized, there is still a chance to stick to it!

   As for those thieves who were thrown on the battlefield, they couldn't get rid of the enemy army, they could only be used to break the aftermath, and they were seeking more blessings...

  Deng Zhi and his party were trudging through the mountains and forests, and the noise of the battlefield behind them gradually faded away.

   After rushing for a while, Deng Zhi finally took someone back to the exit of the secret road.

  This is a cave hidden in vines, with a twisting tunnel leading to a secret place in the main village, which can be used to quietly transfer a few soldiers and horses.

   "Come in!"

  Deng Zhi greeted everyone to enter the secret passage.

   After walking for a while, everyone turned a corner and suddenly found a light floating in front of them.

  I saw two figures holding torches, walking from the other side of the secret passage, blocking the road ahead.

   Everyone in Huangdangshan was startled, and hurriedly stopped and looked carefully, and suddenly they all froze in place.

   They were shocked to find that one of the two turned out to be their village owner Xu Gui.

   At this time, Xu Gui was walking staggeringly, his face sluggish, as if he was caught in a huge shock, and the whole person lost his soul.

   And the other, a burly lion-haired man with an iron spear on his shoulders, swaying his posture, with a malicious smile on his face.

   "Chen Feng!"

  Deng Zhi suddenly widened his eyes and shouted, and recognized it at a glance.

   Zhou Jing was a little surprised when he saw everyone, but then he twisted his neck and said:

   "I originally wanted to copy your back path, but you bumped into it by yourself... Anyway, grandpa will open up here, you are unlucky."

   Hearing the words, Deng Zhi was covered in chaff, only to feel that the long-standing nightmare once again took over his mind.

   When he really stood in front of Zhou Jing, he realized that he didn't have the courage to do it at all!

  Deng Zhi did not hesitate, turned his head and ran away, shouting mournfully:

   "Run!"

   "Hey, it's late!"

   Zhou Jing grinned and dragged his gun forward, walking faster and faster.

   Finally, he charged forward with strides in the narrow tunnel, heading straight for the crowd of people in Huangdang Mountain.

   "Ahhhh-"

   The next moment, screams one after another filled the entire tunnel!
