"The moon is dark and windy at night, killing people and setting fire to the sky." Yang Zhi walked on the only official road outside ** Town, took a step, put a feather arrow on the ground, and then stepped on it with his feet, and they all gently penetrated into the ground one by one.

"What a good weather!" Looking at the dark sky, Yang Zhi sighed loudly, while looking at the feather arrows on the ground, "Fifty-one, it's still far from ninety-nine!"

Fifty-one arrows are the limit that Yang Zhi can control now. When can he control ninety-nine feather arrows at the same time, his martial arts cultivation will stand in front of that gate. The day when ninety-nine return to one is the time for him to enter the realm of the Grandmaster.

In fact, at the age of Yang Zhi, he was only a handful of people who could have such cultivation and look at the world, which was enough to be proud of him. But whenever he thought of Qin Feng, Yang Zhi became inexplicably discouraged and had no sense of superiority.

It's really angering to compare people.

Behind him, three hundred men with full military generals, holding maces, stood upright, and watched Yang Zhi play the feather arrows for no reason. The King of Yama is powerful in martial arts. The most powerful among them is like a naughty child in his hands. Of course, no one can touch his background.

Of course, no one dared to ask. During these days, Yang Zhi’s tyranny in their minds has penetrated into his bones.

After setting off the arrow, he walked back to the team and looked at the men standing straight there. Yang Zhi curled his mouth, "You are stupid. We can't get started until dawn. In this weather, even if the red flower set is ignited, can you see it here? Sit down and rest."

With a thud, three hundred men sat down.

Yang Zhi shook his head and sat down on the ground, posing in a comfortable position.

Red Flower Set. Under the flying flag of the central army, a personal guard who looked like Zou Ming put on a general's uniform and rode majestic on the horse. Around him, except for dozens of soldiers, there were other dummies wearing armor. Further away, there were only torches and no one. The real commander of the attack on Red Flower Set was Zhang Xuzhi, the tooth general of Pili Camp, and there were only one thousand soldiers attacking here.

The large group of troops led by Zou Ming had already passed through the Red Flower Condom in the darkness and moved towards Leye County. Before them, the messengers sent by Honghua Condom to seek help had already set off.

Zhang Xuzhi slowly pulled out his sword, raised it, and fell down suddenly.

Directly in front of the team, rows of crossbows suddenly made a scream, roaring towards the simple camp of the Qi army in the distance. Although there were only one thousand people, they were equipped with hundreds of crossbows and stone cannons. When the crossbows began to roar, the stone cannons also made a dull roar.

The Pili Camp benefited from the previous stationed in Fengxian County. After each of the latest weapons from the Taiping City Soldier Workshop was developed, they were always sent to them for trial, and then they put forward suggestions for corrections to be further improved. Over the years, their equipment was not only diverse, but also amazing.

Tonight, taking advantage of the high winds of the moon tonight, the Pili Camp launched a sudden attack. The dense torches and dense long-range strikes successfully misled Zhou Huaian, the guard general of the Red Flower Taunt Qi Army. The density of those torches was not enough to make him determine the number of attacks on the other side, but when such a intensive long-range strike came to his face, he was sure that his front was indeed the main force of the Ming army.

Because of such intensive crossbow shooting, it was obvious that the main force was equipped with so many. When he received news from the scouts that the Ming army was attacking in large numbers, he had already sent envoys to Leye County for help. At the same time, he also set up defense lines on a small hill, logging wood as obstacles, building stones as obstacles, and digging soil and building walls. When he did all this, the Ming army also arrived in front of him.

After sitting behind the earthen wall, Zhou Huaian was not panicked. The mountain was not big and there was no steepness. In fact, there was no steep terrain in Leye County. What made him trust more was the combat effectiveness of his soldiers. According to his estimate, he probably only needed to guard until tomorrow when the sun rose, and the main force of Leye County should have arrived.

In front of me, I should be the main force of the Ming army, and if nothing unexpected happens, there should be a small Ming army to restrain the Qi army there in the direction of **.

The Ming army had good combat power, and even said it was quite powerful. The Pili camp became famous in the battle of Tzu Chi, and in Shayang County, the battle between the Ming army and the Qi army made the Qi people more vigilant. But that's all. Zhou Huaian firmly believed that under the same force, the Qi army could definitely defeat the other side. In Shayang, the other side had a solid city wall to defend, so it was naturally a big advantage. Now, they attacked and defended themselves.

With a whoosh, a crossbow arrow penetrated the simple earth wall and came to him only. He stretched out his hands and squeezed his hands. The tail of the crossbow arrow buzzed and trembled, but he could no longer move forward.

But this crossbow arrow made Zhou Huaian a little shocked. Under the torch, the crossbow arrow flashed with a faint light. The whole crossbow arrow was much shorter than ordinary arrows. It was actually made of steel. The tail did not have the feathers that were usually used to stabilize flight. Instead, there were grooves carved on the entire shaft. It seemed that the crossbow arrows were flying stably, and it was dependent on these grooves. Without tail feathers, the crossbow arrows all rely on strong force, which made their penetration extremely amazing.

"Let everyone be careful and pile the wood behind the earthen wall." He stood up and shouted loudly.

While walking, he raised his head and looked at the sky. From time to time, stone bullets fell down and some of the falling rock bullets were knocked away. Zhou Huaian walked to the forefront of the position and looked down.

Compared with the Ming army's crossbow arrows that can only shoot straight and straight lines but not upwards, these stone bullets pose a greater threat to the defenders. Obviously, the commanders of the Ming army also knew this well. After the second round of crossbow arrows, they were more of a stone bullet attack, and the shooting frequency of the crossbow machine was significantly reduced.

Zhou Huaian had seen the Ming army's crossbow machine. It was a sample obtained by ghosts through every means. The whole body was made of steel and solid wood. The entire crossbow machine was on the base and could rotate freely 360 degrees. Its weight was only half of the Qi army's crossbow machine. Its range was closer, but its firing rate was much faster. More importantly, it could move freely.

Unfortunately, the Qi people's armoured works workshop could not be created. In fact, a large part of the Qi army attacked Shayang County, and wanted to take over Taiping City and Daye City and take these two places for themselves. If the Ming people's two armoured works were able to be taken over, it would be of great significance to Qi.

Unfortunately, it failed.

Zhou Huaian sighed. The powerful Qi State could not create something that the little Ming people invented. It is really hard to believe.

As he shook his head and sighed, Qi Ren's trencher began to counterattack. Stone bullets drew arcs in the air and landed towards the dense torches in the distance. Each of them went down, several torches would be extinguished, but the firing rate was too slow and it took a long time to shoot out. Looking at the trenchers behind him that had to be operated by more than ten people, he became even more annoyed.

The Ming army's stone cannons were endless and round after round. The crossbows only launched one round after another every long time. It seemed that they were not in a hurry to attack the Qi army's position, which made Zhou Huaian a little confused. This seemed to be a good thing, because he could hold on until the arrival of the aid without much loss.

But if things are abnormal, they will be a demon. What exactly did the Ming army want to do? Could it be that they are still waiting for the reinforcements to arrive before the decisive battle? He couldn't figure it out. If it were him to command, of course, he would concentrate all his forces to annihilate the defenders here first, and then wait for the reinforcements to come for the decisive battle.

If you can't figure it out, you can only wait and see what's going on.

Time passed slowly between this strange attack and defense, and a trace of white fish belly finally appeared in the sky. In summer morning, the night color suddenly disappeared without a trace inadvertently, and today is the same. It seems that in the blink of an eye, the night was swept away. Standing on the position above the mountain, Zhou Huaian could see clearly where the Ming army was in the distance.

He suddenly burst into cold sweat.

There was no main force of the Ming army. There were only more than a thousand Ming troops in front of him at most. But now, these Ming troops are retreating. In a farther place, there were walls of chests standing in front. The Ming army actually built a defensive position while the night was dark last night. Now, the Ming army is retreating to those defensive positions in an orderly manner.

Aren’t they attackers? Zhou Huaian’s eyes widened.

Next, he saw two beacons igniting, and two smoke pillars of different colors supported themselves into the sky.

In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Zhou Huaian's face. These two beacons of different colors were their signals. These two meant that he had reached a dangerous moment. If one of the other colors was added, it meant that he was already in a hurry. How could the Mingren know the secret code they agreed upon?

They ignited these beacons, which were naturally for the Qi army in Leye County and ** Town. Zhou Huaian suddenly realized that the Ming army was just fake in attacking him. Their purpose was probably to be in ** Town. Eating a thousand troops there was the goal of the Ming people. The main force of the Ming army must be ambushed in that direction.

Until this time, Zhou Huaian still did not expect that the Ming army's target was not the Qi army in ** Town, but the main force of the Qi army in Leye County.

Cold sweat flowed downwards. He was now facing a difficult choice. Should he launch an attack on the Ming army opposite? If he attacked, the roles of both sides would change. He would inevitably face the intensive fire strikes of the Ming army. Thinking about the crossbow arrows that penetrated the earth wall, he was really difficult to make up his mind.

Ming Jun sat firmly on Diaoyutai and stared at him coldly. Zhou Huaian finally made up his mind that he would try it no matter what.
