    After reluctantly crawling over from the ground, the cavalryman slashed Zheng Xiaofeng with his sword.  (read)

    It¡¯s a pity that he can¡¯t even walk steadily now, and he is also weak in wielding the knife.  Zheng Xiaofeng simply thrust the saber into the ground, raised his left hand, and grabbed the wrist where he was holding the saber. The saber immediately became unable to be cut down.  At this time, Zheng Xiaofeng raised his right hand and hit him in the face.  The cavalryman's mouth and nose were bleeding, and he fell down on his back, unable to get up anymore.

    Amidst the shouts of the rebels, Zheng Xiaofeng stepped on the horse soldier's face, pointed at the remaining six white-armored soldiers, and said loudly: "Kill, kill them."

    Zhou Shaohuan, Tong Dayong, Yang Wucheng and other eight people had already made preparations, and immediately urged their horses together to charge forward.  The remaining six white-armored soldiers of She had no fighting spirit and did not dare to fight. They all fled in defeat.

    Wu Hansheng had already bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and fired three arrows in a row, killing a white-armored soldier and two horses. Zhou Shaohuan and others had already caught up with them. Only two of the six white-armored soldiers escaped, and two were captured.  They were beaten to death and two more were captured alive.  Including the cavalry soldier who was defeated by Zheng Xiaofeng, a total of seven people were killed in this battle and three were captured alive, including one white-armored soldier and two cavalry soldiers. However, there were no casualties among the rebels. This was considered a considerable victory.

    At the same time, we counted the materials and also harvested two pieces of armor such as iron armor, cotton armor, and leather armor, thirty-four large and small weapons such as long-handled iron sickles, tiger spears, swords, shields, bows and arrows, a back flag, and four tents.  , the enemy's weapons are very well-made. These armors and weapons are made of fine iron, which is also the best among Amur.  In addition, there are twenty-three war horses.  All of them are high-quality war horses, each with shiny coat and tall body. They are much better than the war horses in the rebel army.

    In addition, more than 500 taels of silver were found from the enemy.  More than a hundred taels of gold.  Zheng Xiaofeng couldn't help but be surprised. Just twelve soldiers actually carried so much silver and gold.  The enemy likes to hide and carry things secretly, but it is still true.

    Of the people who were chased by the enemy, only seventeen survived.  Zheng Xiaofeng also took them all into Amulli and buried the bones of other people who died.  Naturally, these people were very grateful to Zheng Xiaofeng and shed tears of gratitude.

    After returning to the city.  The whole city immediately celebrated, and the fear of the enemy troops among the soldiers and civilians was finally completely wiped away.  At the same time, Zheng Xiaofeng announced the merit assessment of this battle. Yang Chengwu and Tong Dayong, who killed the White Armored Army in battle, were credited with one merit. Others were also credited with merit, and they were allowed to choose horses, armor,  One weapon each.

    Zheng Xiaofeng chose the silver spear, tiger spear and black horse of the white-armored soldier.  He has always lacked a long weapon to ride on. The white-armored soldier's tiger spear is made entirely of fine steel, with a total length of nine feet and a weight of thirty-six kilograms, which is perfect for his use.  Yang Chengwu chose a piece of iron armor, a white horse for a cavalryman, and he himself had a spear to ride on.  Therefore, a set of bows and arrows were chosen as weapons.  Tong Dayong chose another set of armor, a red horse, and the long-handled double-edged ax of the soldier he killed. He used to use machetes and double-edged axes.  almost.

    And everyone else who went to battle also chose their favorite horses, armor, and weapons.

    Zheng Xiaofeng looked down from the city wall.  I saw that more than 300 meters away, the enemy troops had formed a formation. Among them was a large white plain flag with a red border. However, the plain flag was embroidered with a flying tiger instead of a giant python, so it was determined that  .  The leader is Jia La E Zhen, not Prince Baylor.  The white armor with military flags outside the city is all white with red edges. You can also know that this is the army of the Eight Banners with white flags.

    This is after obtaining the enemy. Chapter 498 The arrow rain fell on the enemy's head again.  Although most of the enemy soldiers were carrying shields, they were unable to defend themselves and were shot down again.

    Maxi couldn't help but frown, because he could also see clearly that the bows and arrows on the Amur could usually shoot to a distance of about seventy paces, which was much stronger than the bows and arrows in his own army.  Among the enemy troops, except for the strong bows worn by a few people, the bows and arrows used by ordinary soldiers only had a range of about fifty steps.  This rebel army actually has so many powerful bows.  It seems a bit surprising.

    At this time, Maxi realized that he had underestimated the rebels guarding the border, with artillery and so many powerful bows.  And from the mouths of two white-armored soldiers who fled back, I learned that there should be fire guns in the pass.

    Before Maxi had time to think about the answer, he immediately ordered the siege troops to withdraw.

    Hearing the retreat horn sound, the enemy troops immediately felt relieved and turned around and ran away.  One by one, they were scrambling for fear that they would be a step too late.  After a while, more than two hundred corpses were left on the battlefield, and then it became empty.

    Although he gave the order himself, Maxi still let out a dissatisfied "hum" when he saw the performance of the forward troops. The forward troops were the fastest when retreating.

      And on Amur, there was a burst of cheers, which was to celebrate that they had effortlessly repelled the enemy. Chapter 498 advanced between the two sections of Haogou.

    At this moment, Zheng Xiaofeng also issued an order: "Pass the order, the Franco cannon uses solid bullets to hit the shield car and fire."

    After receiving Zheng Xiaofeng's order, gunner Luo Yuanbin immediately waved the command flag in his hand and shouted loudly: "Fire!"

    "Boom, boom, boom!" The seven Fran cannons will fire one after another, and seven black iron balls will fly out from the muzzle, bringing out a stream of light smoke and shooting towards the enemy formation a hundred steps away.  .

    Out of the seven iron balls, four of them actually hit, and one of them hit the same shield car.  The shield car hit by the iron ball was immediately hit with sawdust flying everywhere.  A hole the size of a washbasin was made in the thick wooden wall, and two white-armored soldiers behind the shield vehicle were killed.  The shield car that was hit by two iron balls was much worse. It was smashed into pieces and the entire car body fell apart.  Several of the white-armored soldiers behind the shield car were killed by the iron balls that had not yet dissipated, and the rest were frightened and fled in all directions.

    With four out of seven shots, Maxi also showed a hint of fear in his eyes.

    "At the same time that the seven Fran cannons were firing, the other eight cannons also sprayed out tongues of flame, scattering the shells mercilessly on the heads of the white-armored troops.  However, this time the enemy troops were more dispersed, so the lethality was much lower than the first time.  After the first round of shelling, the rebel gunners hurriedly cleaned the barrels and prepared to reload.

    Maxi, who was supervising the battle in the rear, also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the effect of this attack was much stronger than the last time.  Before the defenders launch their second attack, they can advance further towards the city wall.

    Sure enough, the enemy pushed the shield car and quickly reached the second trench.  In the back, the white-armored soldiers pushing wheelbarrows were busy filling the first trench with sand and gravel.

    At this time, on the top of the city of Amur, three hundred longbowmen also pulled their longbows and began to shoot arrows down the city.  For a moment, arrows shot towards the enemy's heads like locusts.

    However, the enemy troops were also prepared for this, and they raised their shields one after another to block the rebel arrows. Although some people continued to fall down after being hit by arrows, the losses were significantly reduced, and the remaining shield vehicles also passed the second  trench, and continue to advance towards the third trench.  The trench-filling chores also began to follow, filling in the second trench.

    But just as the White Armored Army was about to approach the third trench, the fifteen artillery pieces at the top of the city were all reloaded. Following Luo Yuanbin's order, Huoba once again let out an angry roar at the White Armored Soldiers below the city.  It sprayed out streams of hot tongues of fire, sending death mercilessly to the enemy's heads again.

    This time the distance was closer, and the power of the artillery fire was more violent. Many white-armored soldiers felt that the ground beneath their feet seemed to be shaking, and then they fell down in rows. Many of them were beaten beyond recognition.  Three shield vehicles were also destroyed.  At the same time, the archers of the rebel army also took advantage of the moment when the artillery was exerting its power, stepped up their bows and fired arrows, and shot down many white-armored soldiers.

    At this point in the battle, although the second batch of more than a thousand attacking enemy troops had not yet approached the city wall, at least three hundred troops had been lost.  However, the heavy price was not without gain. The White Armored Army had broken through the third trench and could begin to truly threaten the city wall.  However, it has now entered the range of the rebels' short bows, so the density of the bows and arrows has further increased. At the same time, within this distance, the penetrating power of the long bows is also stronger, and ordinary shields cannot withstand the long bow's laser fire.  .

    And at this moment, Zhou Shaohuan, who was next to Zheng Xiaofeng, suddenly shouted: "Look, sir, something bad is going to happen!" (You are welcome to support me, it is my biggest motivation.)
