‘Dong!Dong!Dong!’ The turbulent drum sounded again, shocking and echoing at the foot of the mountain. Five thousand shield soldiers lined up in twenty rows, holding their shields high and strode towards the hill.

A few miles away, Yang Yuanqing stood in the viewing tower and watched the Sui army's attack. He frowned slightly. The other party actually used crossbow arrows. He remembered that when he attacked Dou Jiande's camp in Zhuo County, the other party did not use crossbow arrows. Now he actually saw crossbow arrows, and there were as many as 3,000.

This shows that Dou Jiande's army is not as weak as he imagined. So from the small to the big, Dou Jiande's camp should also have stronger strength, so it should not be really careless.

"Master General, we only sent 10,000 troops to attack the camp. Are you a little underestimating the enemy?" Li Jing next to him said worriedly.

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "There are about the number of people on this kind of attack on the camp at a high place, and the greater the casualties. The heavy armored infantry is not suitable for this kind of high-rise attack. What I am worried about now is that there are too few cavalry under the throne. If the enemy cavalry rushed down from the mountain, we would suffer heavy casualties."

He immediately turned around and said to Pei Xingyan: "General Pei, you can lead another 5,000 cavalry to support General Luo and respond to him at any time. Once the enemy camp breaks, the cavalry can rush up the hill!"

"Abide by the order!"

Pei Xingyan ran down the whistle. After a moment, a group of five thousand Sui cavalry rushed out of the camp, running towards the hills several miles away like a surging wave.

.........

Amid the intense sound of war drums, the two thousand Sui soldiers accelerated their speed, burst out with a shocking shout, and rushed towards the top of the mountain like a tide.

The slope was not long, less than a hundred steps away, and could not accommodate too many Sui army attacks. The Sui army did not conduct multiple attacks. They chose a relatively gentle slope and rushed towards the top of the hillside.

The Sui army launched the attack were all sword and shield troops, holding huge square shields high, holding horizontal swords in hand, and dozens of people were in a row. One step away from each other, attacking the top of the mountain side by side. Above their heads, the arrows fired by the Sui army roared away like rain, shooting on the camp gate and the enemy's shields, suppressing the enemy's counterattack.

Inside the camp, Wang Fubao stood in front of a gap in a fence and watched the Sui army's attack coldly. A few dozen steps behind him, five thousand archers were ready, and five thousand arrows aimed at the top of the camp. Although the Sui army's crossbow arrows were strong, the Xia soldiers on the camp could not raise their heads, and arrows crossed the camp and shot into the open space.

The archers stood outside the range of crossbow arrows, and the Sui army's crossbow arrows did not affect their elevation angle launch. They were waiting for the command of the commander.

The Sui army had already attacked within fifty steps, and Wang Fubao resolutely issued an order, "Shoot!"

Five thousand archers ran forward and shot arrows together, then quickly retreated. Five thousand black arrows soared into the air like a dark cloud, crossing the camp gate and roaring towards the Sui army that was approaching the camp gate. A Sui army officer noticed the arrow clouds appeared and shouted, "Form a formation!"

The Sui army soldiers raised their shields at the same time, forming a shield formation that covered the sky and the sun. The rain of arrows fell like rain, all of which were two feet and four inches long soldiers. They used their own gravity to shoot at the Sui army soldiers. The raindrop-like arrows shot on a dense shield, making a jingle sound. The sound was accompanied by the screams of the soldiers in the middle, and many soldiers were still shot by the arrows. The shields were overturned and the soldiers fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, another cloud of black arrows shot out from the camp fence and whistled towards them. The dense arrows made the Sui soldiers unable to raise their heads, and every step they took was extremely difficult.

Luo Shixin bit his lip tightly, and he rushed to the giant drum, grabbed the drumstick, and swung his arm and started to pound it hard.

‘Dong! dong! dong!’ The drum sound was shocking, and the Sui soldiers burst out with a shout, and their inner courage was aroused by the drum sound, and they rushed towards the top of the mountain to the death.

But the enemy's chief general Wang Fubao smiled coldly and gave another order, "Drop the wood!"

The red flag was raised on the Xia army's command platform and issued an order to throw the wood. Three thousand big men standing under the camp fence picked up the rolling wood more than a foot long, turned around and threw it out the camp fence.

Three thousand giant trees crossed the camp barn that was ten feet high, like hail falling head-on. Most of them were only thrown more than ten steps away, but the giant trees rolled and smashed towards the Sui soldiers. The hundreds of Sui soldiers rushing in front were caught off guard and were knocked over by the rolling impact of the giant trees.

The giant shield of the Sui army could withstand the dense shooting of soldiers and arrows, but could not stop the impact of the rolling power of the giant wood. Pieces of Sui soldiers were knocked over, and dense arrows were shot. The Sui soldiers in the chaos were unable to assemble the shield formation, and they suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing that the attacking Sui soldiers suffered heavy casualties, Luo Shixin was so angry that he threw the mallet on the ground, "Ming Jin to withdraw the troops!"

"Dang! Dang! Dang!" The bell rang, and more than 1,500 Sui soldiers retreated like a tide.

At this time, Pei Xingyan rode up and laughed: "General Luo, how about let me attack?"

Luo Shixin looked gloomy and did not say a glance, and said silently for a while: "Who dares to attack without the order of the general manager!"

Pei Xingyan raised his head and smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for the order to replace the person in charge from the general manager!"

He turned his horse's head and ran towards the cavalry team behind him. Luo Shixin looked at his back. He was ashamed and annoyed, hating his soldiers for not being able to do anything. He shouted, "Three thousand people were on the second round!"

A general stepped forward and said, "General Luo, I have a plan that may succeed."

"Say! What strategy?"

"I am considering that there are not as many people as few people. Twenty brothers will go up and burn their camp bars with tinder oil. As long as the camp bars are burned and covered by crossbow arrows, we will easily attack them!"

This plan immediately reminded Luo Shixin, right! He can use fire attack, why didn’t he expect it?

He immediately found thirty strong soldiers and promised them a reward. He carried three bags of turmeric oil on each carrying, and under the dense cover of crossbow arrows, he held a shield in his hand and ran towards the top of the mountain.

There are indeed not as many people as few people. Thirty soldiers were running on the open ramp, appearing sparse and small. It is difficult for them to hurt both arrow rain and giant trees. At this time, Wang Fubao's face became solemn, and he obviously realized the intentions of the Sui soldiers.

"Open the door hole, one hundred brothers rushed out and killed them!"

There is only one gate in the Yingpan, which is not easy to open, but there are more than a dozen small movable doors on the Yingbing Gate, three feet square, and they are buckled with iron wedges inside. They can be opened if necessary. More than a hundred soldiers carried spears and drilled out of the door hole.

But Luo Shixin was already prepared. When the door opening opened, he immediately ordered, "Cheep!"

Hundreds of crossbow archers aimed at the door hole and fired together. The Xia army, who had just drilled out of the door hole, were shot overturned by arrows, and the other soldiers were so scared that they went back.

At this time, the thirty Sui soldiers had rushed to a few steps outside the camp. They used their shields to cover themselves, took off the turtle oil bags on their backs and sprayed the black turtle oil on the camp. Almost at the same time, dozens of rockets rose from the foot of the mountain and shot on the camp. Suddenly, the flames burned and spread rapidly, and thick smoke rolled up.

"Cache water to put out the fire!"

Wang Fubao shouted, he was obviously helpless about the fire attack. There was not much water source on the top of the mountain, and the soldiers quickly brought dozens of barrels of water for cooking and splashed into the camp. However, there was no point in splashing water from the inside. Some soldiers stood on the wooden platform and splashed water outward, but were shot down by the Sui army's crossbow arrows.

Many soldiers threw sand and soil outwards, but the sand and soil only had a little effect on the fire on the ground, but could not destroy the fire on the camp.

The Sui army at the foot of the mountain was filled with joy. Luo Shi was excited in his confidence and immediately ordered: "Come on, fifty soldiers!"

Another fifty soldiers rushed up the mountain to spray tinder oil, making the fire more rapid. The camp bars, which lasted more than 200 steps, have completely fallen into a sea of ​​fire.

At this time, Dou Xianniang ran up and shouted: "General Wang, we are not opponents of the Sui army, we must ask the king for help immediately!"

Wang Fubao shook his head slowly. It was too late to ask for help, not to mention that he didn't want to ask the prince for help. He said in a deep voice: "Xian Niang, you must return to the camp!"

"I won't go back!"

Dou Xianniang stubbornly rejected Wang Fubao's kindness. Wang Fubao winked at the personal soldiers beside him, and dozens of personal soldiers rushed forward, trying to catch Dou Xianniang. Dou Xianniang was prepared for a long time, so she took three steps back. The phoenix tail knife slashed across, "Who dares to catch me!"

Wang Fubao sighed. "Xian Niang, I have a good intention. If something happens to you, I cannot explain it to the prince."

"I have a horse, a knife, a bow and an arrow. If the situation is critical, I will evacuate myself. I don't want you to force me!" Dou Xianniang scolded angrily.

Wang Fubao was anxious, but he was helpless with her. At this moment, a personal soldier shouted: "General, the camp is about to collapse!"

Wang Fubao was startled and turned his head to look at it. He saw a camp bar that was more than ten feet long and was burnt. The bottom could not be supported. It was shaking. With the shouts of the soldiers, the camp bar fell down with a series of camp bars, pulling out a hole that was more than twenty feet wide.

Wang Fubao shouted anxiously, "Do away!"

Many soldiers did not react. The dense rain of arrows of the Sui army shot into the gap. Hundreds of soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. The rest of the soldiers were fleeing in fear.

Wang Fubao knew that a bloody battle was inevitable, so he shouted, "Cavals are ready!"

There were a thousand cavalry in the camp, mainly used to assault the enemy's infantry. They killed from the commanding heights and had a very shocking impact. One thousand cavalry had already prepared and raised their spears and waited for an order to attack.

At the foot of the mountain, Luo Shixin saw the camp falling down. He was overjoyed. He turned over and took the bronze trumpet, and blew hard to the sky, "Woo——"

The sound of the trumpet was low and distant. This was the sound of the cavalry's attack. Two thousand cavalry raised their spears together, and the spears were like dense forests. Pei Xingyan, who was lying in the formation not far away, also shouted loudly: "Prepare to attack!"

"Kill~!"

Luo Shixin roared angrily, waved his iron spear and rushed towards the mountain first. The two thousand cavalry behind him also roared, "Kill!"

Two thousand cavalrymen activate their war horses, held their spears high, and rushed to the hillside with Luo Shixin. Luo Shixin took the lead, and the two thousand cavalry behind him were like crazy waves, with their hooves shaking the sky, and their momentum was huge.

Wang Fubao also led a thousand cavalry to wait in front of the camp. He shouted, "Kill the Sui army!"

He waved Fang Tian's painting halberd and rushed towards Luo Shixin. The two guns and halberds collided, and a loud bang broke out. The two cavalry immediately collided and launched a fierce battle on the oblique cover.

Wang Fubao is very skilled in martial arts. The two fought for more than ten rounds, and there was no difference between the winners and the winners. At this time, Wang Fubao made a flaw and the two horses were at the same time. He swept one arm and the crescent moon on the halberd was slashing towards Luo Shixin's face like lightning. Luo Shixin did not dodge. He sneered, and the spear shook, and even divided the spear heads and stabbed Wang Fubao's throat. The gun speed seemed slow, but it blinked in front of him. This was the first of Zhang Xutuo's thirteen sword techniques: splitting the mountain.

Luo Shixin turned the essence of the power in the sword technique into the marksmanship and practiced his death spear. He might not be as fast as Yang Yuanqing, but he shook out seven spear heads, which was worse than Yang Yuanqing.

Wang Fubao was shocked. It was too late to think of flashing. The spear pierced his throat with a "puff!", and the tip of the spear penetrated from the back of the neck. The crescent halberd slanted and slashed over Luo Shixin's head, slashing half of his helmet, and Fang Tian's painting halberd landed.

Luo Shixin roared and lifted Wang Fubao's body high, "The enemy's chief general has been killed by me!"

The Sui army was cheering and thunderous, but the Xia army was panicked and had no intention of fighting. They were killed and retreated step by step. Seeing that the collapse was about to occur, Luo Shixin suddenly found a cold arrow shot towards his neck from the side. He was carrying Wang Fubao's body in his hand, and it was inconvenient to dodge. In desperation, he tilted his body and raised his left shoulder. The arrow happened to hit his left arm.

A severe pain, his strength disappeared, and the spear landed. He only saw a young female general standing by the camp gate a hundred steps away, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, staring at him with murderous intent.
