According to their experience, if they get close to them and fire a few rounds at full speed, they will be able to defeat the attack.

This was also correct. After a moment, seeing the feint-attack group approaching, Zhang Xian's general Han Shunfu immediately commanded a counterattack. For a moment, bows and crossbows were fired, and arrows rained down. The reckless "heroes" were immediately defeated and retreated. The leading iron-clad man had several arrows pierced through the armor on his back, and he and the surrounding group of people fell into the bushes and could not get up. It seemed that they were shot to death on the spot. As for Miao Gu, who was commanding the battle in the rear, she was so angry that she threw away the knife in her hand, and stopped shouting and jumping. She just squatted there wiping her tears.

The victory was easy, and the government troops did not go down to clean up the battlefield. It was obvious that they knew the difference in numbers and just wanted to defend this nameless red soil ridge.

"What a pity for such a good man that I didn't even get to ask his name." In the tent at the foot of the mountain, it was King Peng Tieda's turn to pat his knees repeatedly.

"You are so reckless that you can't be considered a real hero." Li Dongtian Li Da Wang had a different opinion, as if it was not him who had just praised Zhao Zilong as his reincarnation.

Peng Tieda was disdainful when he heard this, but he simply turned around and called his confidant: "Take 20 pieces of cloth and 100 strings of money and send them to the Miao girl in this hero's family, so that she can find another strong son-in-law like him."

King Peng's generosity immediately attracted enthusiastic praise from the leaders of the surrounding small villages, which temporarily suppressed King Li's momentum, as if King Li, who also gave out twenty pieces of cloth, was stingy.

However, at this moment, something miraculous happened.

The Song army won the victory easily, and seeing that the bandit leaders below were busy and no longer probing, they relaxed their vigilance, and the general Han Shunfu in front of them simply ordered the troops to bury the pots and cook in preparation for the upcoming battle. But at this time, in the eyes of a few sharp-eyed heroes at the foot of the mountain, the leader who was not sure whether he was a Miao or a Han was just faking his death, and had already crawled up the mountain again. Not only that, more than a dozen "heroes" around him who were similar to personal guards also followed suit, but took advantage of the slackness of the Song army above and suddenly rose up again.

A moment later, with thunderous cheers suddenly coming from the bottom of the ridge, the big man in the iron helmet jumped up with a big iron spear in his hand and attacked directly into the Song army's position with the force of a tiger, killing several people in a row.

Even though Han Shunfu had experienced the battle of Yaoshan before, he was still caught off guard at this moment. He drew his sword to fight, but the big man came right up to him, blocked his sword with a spear, and then easily snatched the sword away, as if he was snatching a bamboo pole from a child... Now that he had the sword in his hand, he chopped off Han Shunfu's arm with another strike.

Fortunately, the surrounding soldiers had strict military discipline, and when they saw this scene, instead of fleeing, they swarmed forward and rescued Han Shunfu. They then dragged their own general and carried the severed arm away.

However, the Song army's most forward position was seized by that man.

The man seized the position, quickly lifted up the Song army flag with his iron spear, and waved it from a distance, signaling the "heroes" below to come up and support him.

However, although the heroes below had shouted loudly to cheer before, they hesitated for a moment when they saw this situation. Only two or three heroes were probably excited by the big man above, and they led their subordinates to climb forward, while the rest of the heroes just looked at the two kings Li and Peng.

Li Dongtian was obviously moved, and wanted to order everyone to move forward.

But unexpectedly, King Peng Tie at the side shook his head solemnly: "It can't be robbed. Others may not know Zhang Xian's ability, but how can we not know it? Although this hero is a hero, he only took advantage of the surprise attack. I'm afraid he will soon lose his life in vain... In this battle, we still need to mobilize a large army."

Li Dongtian and many heroes around him were also hesitant after hearing this.

However, it didn't take long for the heroes to stop hesitating, because the situation on the ridge had really reversed as King Peng said... Zhang Xian's troops were obviously stimulated by the surprise attack, and the entire Hongtu Ridge came alive in an instant. Countless flags were waving, and the sound of clappers was rapid and loud, which could be heard clearly on and off the ridge.

In sight, Zhang Xian's big flag appeared directly at the front line where the position was lost. Uniform shouts of killing rang out in that area, instantly drowning out the noise below the ridge. Several mountain strongholds that were feinting attacks also encountered direct and fierce attacks from the Song army, and retreated on the spot.

This time, the Song army simply sent people down to make the final move with swords, just in case.

As for the big man who had just won a miraculous victory, he did not die immediately. Instead, he jumped down the ridge almost alone after a moment. The spear in his hand was obviously discarded. Then, he carried a rattan shield that he had snatched from somewhere, and rolled continuously in the mountains using the terrain, trying to avoid arrows while struggling to escape downwards.

Later, just as the big man miraculously rolled down the ridge alive, Han Shunfu, who had lost his position and an arm and was on the verge of death, was executed on the spot by Zhang Xian. His head was chopped off and hung on the position together with the broken arm... and Han Shunfu's deputy general also received a military order to take over the position.

At the same time, Zhang Xian's troops received an order from Zhang Xian that they must capture the sneak attacking general in this battle.

Overall, it was a surprise attack, but it did not affect the overall situation.

Hundreds of heroes gathered around the two kings at the foot of the mountain and discussed for a long time, but they still could not organize an effective attack. Even the escaped man in the middle came to make trouble, but he was driven out by Li Dongtian before he even got close, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

Half a morning passed in this chaos, and the heroes were still unable to organize an attack. But at this moment, the third king, Li Dunren, who was born in Qianzhou, suddenly came from the south with dozens of other heroes, and told the heroes here a terrible bad news.
