Chapter 99 Fierce Fighting


Chapter 99 Fierce Battle

When the tribesmen cried and told Gao Tangsheng that Bao's soldiers had robbed them of what they had captured, slapped them in the face, and even took off their clothes.

Gao Tangsheng was furious, and he immediately led the rest of his troops to chase Bao Tao, vowing to seek an explanation. Their two families are from the same county, so they may not be helping each other, but they can't do this to the Gaotang family.

When Gao Tangsheng caught up with Bao Tao, Bu Qu had copper coins strung around his neck and a piece of cloth under his arm. He was very proud and sang folk songs all the way:

"Pingyang Bao, powerful! Pingyang Gaotang, coward!"

Gao Tangsheng was so angry that his face turned purple. He found Bao Tao in the team and angrily yelled:

"Why do you want to rob my children with your army?"

Bao Tao smiled and said:

"Mr. Gaotang, you are wrong. These seizures belong to me, so why talk about looting?"

Gao Tangsheng was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he cursed:

"You, the Bao family, are also from a respectable and wealthy family. How can you be so obscene and shameless just for these idiots?"

When Bao Tao heard that Gao Tangsheng started to accuse his family, his face became solemn:

"Gaotang Sheng, you are also a scholar. Don't you know that taking something without telling you is a thief? The Gaotang family is an innocent family, don't tarnish your family name."

Seeing that the villain Bao Tao complained first, Gao Tangsheng was so angry that all three corpses were gone. He pulled out a knife and cut off the hem of his own clothes, which meant that the two families had no ties to each other.

Then Gao Tangsheng led his troops back, no longer willing to join forces with Bao.

Watching Gao Tangsheng return in frustration, some clan brothers asked Bao Tao if he wanted to persuade him to come back and give them a share of the capture, otherwise the forward force would be thin.

Bao Tao said proudly: "The high hall is gone, and I should take it alone."

Then he added bitterly:

"The thieves had a lot of baggage, and when the Gaotang clan retreated, there were only a few people to capture it."

When the tribesmen saw how the bandits had surrendered in the wind, they also felt that the bandits could be wiped out with the Bao family's soldiers.

After that, Bao Tao continued to lead troops and headed straight for the bandit camp in Mount Tai.

As soon as Bao Tao arrived, he asked the guards to put on his armor. After putting on two layers of armor, he picked up a rifle and started attacking the wall like a fire.

The wall that Bao Tao attacked was guarded by Guo Liang. Guo Liang was originally a general under Heifu. He was promoted to the commander of the village due to his repeated military exploits. Now he led a hundred spearmen to guard the west wall of the stronghold.

In the camp behind him was a battalion of Sheshengtun, whose leader was his good friend Zhao Jian. They were from the same group who were released as generals from Zhang Chong's collision team. At this moment, Zhao Jian was leading his battalion of a hundred archers, drawing their bows and preparing to shoot.

Thanks to the large number of lodges in Orion Mountain in Mount Tai, Zhang Chong organized and trained five battalions of archers, and Zhao Jian was one of them.

But Guo Liang refused Zhao Jian's support. He looked at the Bao soldiers outside the wall who did not have any attack equipment and sneered. Are these weak soldiers trying to trap him?

Here Dong Fang led Wang's soldiers, and Zhao Chong led Zhang's soldiers and rushed to a slope in the west.

They looked down and saw a large camp lying on the plain below the slope. An army with a "Bao" flag was attacking the west side of the camp.

Dong Fan squinted his eyes, and Zhao Chong laughed when he saw the place where the stronghold was. Dong Fang was curious and asked why. Zhao Chong smiled and said:

"This Taishan bandit thinks he knows the enemy well and has set up a strong camp, but a certain family can tell at a glance that it is just a fake. Look at the location of this camp. It is actually on a plain. You and I are on this high slope, and we can see it at a glance. Can see clearly the reality of this village

If you look at the trench dug outside this village, it seems useful, but in fact, there are no horse and wooden stakes, and the material yard is actually arranged outside the trench. This really makes it difficult for me to say anything. ”

After hearing Zhao Chong's introduction, Dong Fan nodded, but after looking at it for a while, he realized something was wrong. He pointed to the camp below and asked:

"Do you listen to this sound? The west side of the village is noisy, but the other three sides are silent. Is this empty or just a leisure time?"

Hearing what Dong Fan said, Zhao Chong also felt that something was wrong, because the other three sides of the village were too quiet, as if there was no one there. But Zhao Chong didn't believe that there were only so many people in such a large stronghold. There was only one possibility. There were elite soldiers in this stronghold. When one side was attacked by an enemy, the rest of the soldiers could still remain calm.

In this way, Zhao Chong sighed:

"This Taishan soldier is worthy of being the best soldier in the world. Even though this general is really incompetent, this is just the right time to close his army." After saying that, Zhao Chong also joked with Dong Fang, saying that you have two hundred loads of hemp rope, why not share it with me fifty loads? , he was afraid that there would be too many prisoners captured and there would not be enough hemp ropes.

The two were chatting freely when something suddenly changed below.

I saw a sudden fire shooting into the sky in the west, and a wall of fire suddenly ignited in the deep chasm here, directly dividing the Bao soldiers who were attacking the wall into two sections.

Dong and Zhao were shocked and immediately led their troops to meet Bao Tao, but they could not leave him here.

What's going on?

It turns out that when Yang Mao and Xie Bi were stationed here, they built a deep moat on all sides, laid firewood inside, poured kerosene on it, and finally covered it with turf grass. The pasture that Zhao Chong saw from above was actually empty, and firewood and cuo grass had long been spread into the trenches.

Bao's soldiers also saw that the trench was full of grass at first, and thought it was abandoned by the thieves who fled in a panic. Then Bao Tao was in a hurry, so he rushed over without thinking too much.

Guo Liang, who was on the south wall, saw that Bao's soldiers were about to rush over, and immediately asked Zhao Jian behind him to launch rockets. Suddenly, hundreds of rockets shot at the firewood and tew grass poured with kerosene, and the fire suddenly broke out. Bao's soldiers who had not yet crossed the trench were frightened and kept retreating due to the fire.

Bao Tao, who was swiping his buzhen under the wall, saw a wall of fire igniting behind him. He was shocked and thought he had fallen into a trap. Then he threw away Bu Zhen, pulled out the ring-shou knife, took a large cowhide box handed by the guard, and was about to lead his troops around the camp.

Unexpectedly, groups of archers suddenly emerged from the three previously silent walls, and rockets shot out, landing directly on the trench. The four walls of fire immediately sealed the camp within fifty steps.

Now Bao Tao can no longer run out. He looked up at the soldiers of Zhang and Wang's Yanzhou tribe who were running wildly down the west slope and roared to the sky. He is a warrior after all, and adversity like this inspired him to fight even to the death.

He turned around and led his troops to attack on the south wall. With more than 20 guards, he led the way, biting the ring-shou knife, and climbed the wall of the village with both hands.

These walls are made of logs and are very easy to climb. The more than 20 warriors were like apes, climbing left and grabbing right, and from time to time some of them were stabbed down by Taishan soldiers on the wall and smashed to the ground.

Bao Tao grabbed a Chang Ge and jumped up the wall with all his strength. Then he covered his head and started hacking randomly to protect himself.

He was killing like crazy, but the few Euphorbia soldiers here hesitated and did not step forward, leaving Bao Tao to occupy this area. Then in the blink of an eye, five guards climbed up from behind Bao Tao.

Six people formed a circular formation and guarded this area so that the people below could continue to climb up.

"Whoosh" "whoosh" "whoosh".

Before Bao Tao could react, a military officer from the crowd opposite shot three arrows. The three guardsmen of his own didn't even make a sound, they just grabbed the arrows and fell down.

Bao Tao was shocked. He immediately picked up a big wooden frame on the ground and covered himself and the remaining two guards. But this time they were covered by the big rafters and couldn't see outside for a while.

At this time, a group of Taishan soldiers started to attack with their long stiles. These were so powerful that all the Bao soldiers they hit fell off the wall.

Bao Tao also felt a strong attack, and his body leaned back uncontrollably. Just like that, Bao Tao and the second guard behind him fell down the wall.

But Bao Tao was fine. There were two guards serving as cushions, so he was fine, but the two men had their necks broken and died.

Bao Tao was furious and wanted to take the remaining guards and charge again. But at this moment, the gate of the west wall of Dazhai opened, and nearly a hundred swordsmen poured out. They carried the flag with the word "king" on their backs, and a brave general Under his leadership, he bumped into the scattered fleeing Bao soldiers along the way, and cut down everyone he saw. Corpses were strewn across the field, and the entire battlefield was filled with a fishy smell.

Bao Tao roared angrily and was about to lead his men in a counterattack, but was suddenly restrained by his own guards. One of the tribesmen, whose face was covered with blood, cried:

"Fifth brother, let's retreat quickly. The walls on the front and right are also open. We can't stop it."

Only then did Bao Tao see that hundreds of thieves were coming not only from the west, but also from the north and east, with flags of all colors waving and shouts of killing. No matter how many counterattacks his tribe organized, they could not make any waves.

Bao Tao cried, hating that he had neglected his troops and missed the lives of many children in his hometown. When he got angry, he picked up the ring-headed knife and wanted to kill himself.

He was surrounded by people from his clan. How could he let the clan leader's brother die here? They could die, but Bao Tao must live. As long as Bao Tao lives, their family can continue to be supported by Bao, but if he dies, everything will stop.

So the few remaining guards gritted their teeth, removed Bao Tao's armor, and then covered Bao Tao with all their clothes. The last few people threw Bao Tao over the wall of fire with all their strength.

The remaining Bao soldiers who were cut off from the outer perimeter were so anxious that they followed Bao Tao to the south because the wall of fire blocked the road. They had bows and arrows, but they didn't dare to shoot for fear of hurting Bao Tao.

At this time, Bao Tao, who was covered in fire, was suddenly thrown out. They were overjoyed and quickly took off the clothes on Bao Tao's body. Bao Tao's skin and flesh had been stuck to his clothes and would be torn off directly. It was so painful that he tore off. Heartbroken.

But what made him mourn even more was the wailing sounds that came one after another in the fire wall. Those were all his descendants and tribesmen, who would be slaughtered by those Taishan dog slaves. He wailed, his eyes were bloody, and he beat the ground:

"Shoot, shoot for me. Don't leave an arrow behind."

After saying this, his eyes darkened and he fainted.

Bao's archers received the order, and arrows were flying. The soldiers of Zhang and Wang who came over also began to draw their bows, and the whole battlefield was filled with cries and howls. After a while, the whole place was silent.

The two generals Dong Fang and Zhao Chong who came in a hurry saw Bao Tao's miserable appearance, and each felt sad. This Taishan soldier is too vicious.

In this way, the remnant soldiers of the two combined Bao families looked at the enemy's stronghold with flames rising from all sides, billowing black smoke, and the smell of burnt meat, blood, feces and urine mixed with the smell of firewood, coming to their nostrils. Many people couldn't hold it back and vomited.

Zhao Chong stared blankly at the enemy camp in front of him, looming in the black smoke, and felt frightened in his heart. What kind of soldiers were there on the other side? Even with such a great victory, they did not cheer.

Dong Fang on the side sighed:

"Now we have to send Bao Tao back. If he is not treated for his injury, he may not be able to survive. By the way, ask the Hu mother's family why the troops are marching so slowly. He is not a Langya thief, so he came to sell it. Let’s do it.”

Zhao Chong nodded. In this situation, they couldn't fight even if they wanted to. Not to mention that the tragic situation of Bao's soldiers was so frightening that the soldiers of both tribes went cold. Even with the raging fire on all sides, the fire must be burned out before we can attack.

Just as the two generals were reorganizing their armies and temporarily retreating, a piece of news came, which shocked Dong Fang into confusion and sent his troops to the ground. Zhao Chong wasn't much better either. He fainted as soon as his eyes darkened.
