Chapter 141 Turn the tide!
Seeing a fierce battle about to begin, according to the situation in front of him, the pirates are so fierce and with strong crossbows to help, Li Jing probably won't be able to withstand it for long. While waving his sword to block the flying arrows, Li Jing frequently looked to the west outside the city, looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements such as Lin Wei. If Lin Wei is not there, he really doesn't want to call Liu Shouqian and Wang Chengzong and others out now. Now he will not be able to get out now, so it's better to continue gritting his teeth and hold on for a while.
"Stabilize the formation!" The formation in the middle is fine. It is all from the war team. There are more than 100 square iron shields of the surprise soldiers. No matter how strong the crossbow arrows of the pirates are, they cannot break the big shield that is half-entry. However, the situation on both wings is not optimistic. The two wings are originally composed of logistics soldiers. The spear is invincible just now, and they are indeed fighting well when rolling. But now, they are pressed by the crossbow arrows of the pirates. One soldier after another falls down, but they have no power to fight back. And they have to stick to Li Jing's order and remain unmoved. The test of these entry is too great.
Especially next to the logistics soldiers, there were still a group of young men who had just dropped their weapons and old men. The result was worse. Facing the sudden fall of companions beside them, the teenagers could no longer hold back. A few timid and cried in fear, some leaned over and vomited, and some turned their heads back. The scene was extremely chaotic, which caused the logistics soldiers to start to shake their morale.
"If you dare to take a step back, you will kill him!" Li Xigou, the head of the military police team who was supervising the battle, had a dark face, and he held a horizontal sword and kicked down four or five young men who wanted to escape in a row. His face was blue and he roared angrily. If Li Jing hadn't told him several times about the duties of the military police team, he would have wanted to rush forward with the sword and get up with the pirates, instead of guarding behind him to face these cowards.
Li Jing was also anxious. If this continues, he will be disintegrated without hitting himself.
Something must be done to boost morale, otherwise you can't wait until Lin Wei comes back. Li Jing jumped forward with a sword and shouted: "Spike soldier, raise the spear!"
All the spearmen responded loudly: "Kill!"
"Spike, go forward!"
"Kill, kill, kill!" Without hesitation, confusion, and fear, the actions engraved in the mind of the spear soldier were made in reverse order. Move forward and stab the gun!
Hundreds of neat and loud roars sounded, and the morale of depression and panic was immediately raised.
"Advance, kill!" Li Jing led the way, and rushed forward with a spear. Passive defense was not good, so he could only fight a counterattack to boost morale. The spear soldiers stomped up, but this time, what they encountered was not the situation just now. This time, the pirates opened the passage, and the remaining more than 700 pirates surged up, and their troops were completely above the soldiers. Moreover, they had good combat experience, and at this time they formed a group of battles to rush over. "Pitch guns!" Seeing that the two armies were about to collide, a roar suddenly came from the pirate formation. Then the pirates who were charging suddenly paused. The next moment, the pirates took off a javelin on their backs, raised their arms, and hundreds of javelins roared over.
Li Jing was shocked and never expected that the pirate would have such a move. "Raising the shield!"
One or two hundred shrouded shields in the array were hurriedly raised, but in the face of this wave of howling javelin clouds, the effect was not much. The spearmen were constantly screaming, and one after another was pierced by the three-foot-long javelin, and some were even nailed to the ground. They were not dead yet, and screamed in pain. Li Jing's heart was bleeding, but he could only grit his teeth and continued to shout and rush forward. If he retreated at this time, it would be a defeat and could no longer be restored.
The two armies finally approached, spears, horizontal swords, battle axes, sticks, and various weapons intertwined. The square formation of the spearmen also revealed their lack of training. The formation was approached by the pirates who were holding shields in their hands and formed small battle groups, and were forced to fall into a melee.
At the beginning of the battle, the situation was completely unfavorable to the soldiers in the army. The shortcomings of Shamen Town's lack of training and poor equipment were all revealed. Especially those logistics soldiers were trained too short and only knew the spear formation move. Once this move was broken, they were completely out of order and lost their rules under the siege of fierce pirates. They continued to fall.
Failed, defeated, Li Jing stabbed two pirates in a spear and strung them together, then drew his sword and cut off the head of a pirate who was leaning forward. In a hurry, he looked around and saw that the formation on the ground had been completely broken and was now being divided by the pirates. He could see that it would not take long before those undertrained spear soldiers would be defeated first, and then his surprise soldiers and sword and shield soldiers would be alone.
What about Lin Wei, why didn’t he appear yet?
After Li Jing found that the spear soldiers on the left had been completely attacked, he knew that they could not wait any longer. The only person who could save the decline was Lin Wei, but he was still not invisible. He could only use Liu Shouqian and the others in advance, and now he didn't care about the plan of siege on three sides. All Li Jing could think was to rescue him first and not defeat him.
Li Jing shouted to the two servants who followed him: "Set the rocket quickly, signal!"
The three rockets suddenly shove towards the dark sky, so eye-catching. This is a special signal that has been made with Liu Shouqian and the others. If Li Jing can't resist it, the three rockets will be launched, Liu Shouqian must immediately lead 400 auxiliary soldiers and two teams of servants to fight out.
Liu Shouqian and Zhang Chengzong had already seen the situation on the battlefield, but without Li Jing's order, they would not dare to commit suicide without permission even if they were anxious. Seeing that the flowers were about to fade, the signal finally appeared. Liu Shouqian jumped up suddenly, waved the copper mace in his hand and roared: "Kill!"
Five hundred horses lying on the right wing of the pirates immediately jumped up and rushed towards the pirates like tigers and wolves.
"Smash those crossbows first!" Zhang Chengzong had long seen the power of these crossbow arrows, and at this time he loudly reminded him. Five hundred horses were coming out, and more than one hundred were the second team of Li Jing's fierce Li Jing's family. The pirates were killing Li Jing with all their might. Outside the city, there were only Zheng Balang who was still surrounded by more than a hundred, as well as dozens of pirates who were acting as Fuyuan crossbows. They did not expect that at this time, Li Jing actually arranged a soldier and horse to lurk beside them.
"Stop them!" Zheng Balang shouted, his one-eyed one-eyed look even more ferocious. Do you really think that a few hundred miscellaneous soldiers can save the destruction of Shamen Town?
Just at this moment, there was only a rumbling sound, and the ground was shaking slightly. Zheng Balang suddenly thought of something, his face full of incredibleness. He turned his head quickly and looked west, and saw a horse suddenly running in the darkness.
This is actually a cavalry!
Zheng Balang suddenly felt that his head was not enough. When did he even have a cavalry on Shaman Island? What a joke?
And if there was such a cavalry on Shaman Island, why did they not appear, but only appear at this time? Also, why did they come from the west, where is the Shimen Wharf. No, they come from the west, and their own fleet?
Zheng Balang became thrilled. At this moment, the cavalry was approaching quickly. From a distance, he saw a knight in front of him holding a horse spear more than 100 feet in his hand and was coming quickly.
"Shut the crossbow arrows to the cavalry immediately!" Zheng Balang no longer thought about how these cavalry came from. All he thought about was his fleet.
"Kill!" Another shout of killing sounded. Behind Fei Chi's cavalry, countless intruders were moving. Zheng Balang could see at a glance that this was more than five hundred intruders.
What happened? How could this happen? When he saw these soldiers, he already understood that the hundreds of crew members and the eighteen ships he left at the dock must have been finished. Li Jing was so cruel that he had already known that he was coming to attack Shamen Town. Not only did he set up a trap in the fort city, but he also divided a group of soldiers to ambush the dock early. As soon as he got ashore, he attacked his fleet. Then, now they are back.
Being deceived, he was fooled. This was a trap, a big trap. Li Jing had already had a plan to eat himself in one bite, but he was still so careless. If Wang Fu and the two hundred guards of the Wang family had already died in the city, Zheng Balang would have thought that this was a trap dug by Wang Jin and Li Jing.
Unwilling to give up, give him another half hour, no, in just one quarter of an hour, he can completely defeat Li Jing and capture the castle city. At that time, even if the ambush from outside comes, he can still defeat them calmly.
"Blow the horns, retreat, gather!" Zheng Balang rubbed his one-eye and gave the order with difficulty.
"The boss, give us another half an hour to guarantee that we can take down the castle city and capture Li Jing alive. Now that we will retreat, all our efforts will be wasted." A pirate leader said unwillingly.
"Do you think we all die here?" Zheng Balang is thinking about his fleet now. He is not thinking about whether to take the Fort City or not, but about how they have to leave Shaman Island. Once the fleet is really lost, it will be difficult for them to leave.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooo!" The horn of the pirate's retreat finally sounded.
Looking at the pirate who turned around and left, Li Jing, who was covered in blood, felt a loss of strength and almost unsteady. The two personal soldiers supported Li Jing with blood on their faces, and they didn't care about wiping them. They shouted excitedly: "Deputy General Lin and General Lin are back, and the pirate is retreating!"
Li Jing murmured, "The reinforcements have finally arrived, the pirates have retreated." After reading a few words, his face regained its glory. He pushed away the two personal soldiers, leaned on the ground with his sword, and said loudly: "This is the opportunity to wipe out the pirates. You can't let them run away. Pass my order, and all those who can move will pick up their weapons, follow me, and kill all the bandits!"
