Chapter 1852 Kill them! Kill them!

At the command, the surrounding bandits didn't have time to think, and rushed down waving their swords and knives, roaring.

Wu Ding's troops were already in chaos below, constantly waving their swords to block the arrows and falling rocks coming from the front and back. At this moment, another group of troops rushed out.

At this moment, they were like a group of trapped beasts, with no way to retreat.

The soldiers simply clenched their swords.

"Fight them!"

“Charge!”

When people are in the most desperate moment, they will instead develop a stubborn desire to survive. Moreover, these people are soldiers who have experienced many battles. Even though Duke Wu Yingqiu is old, the people who follow him to fight are not wimps.

Besides, they are the imperial court's troops after all.

Even if they are in a desperate situation, they still have room to fight against the sand bandits.

So, the two sides rushed together with roars.

In an instant, the entire valley seemed to shake, and countless shouts of killing resounded through the sky. The troops on both sides engaged in close combat, with swords and slashes, and cold light flashed, drawing streaks of icy light in the night sky, and causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.

In the chaos, there was only a torch held by Wu Ding's personal soldiers. At this time, it had fallen to the ground and was stepped on by someone in the mud and extinguished.

It was pitch black in the valley.

You can't see me and I can't see you. We are fighting only with the instinct of survival and the savage will to live. No matter who it is, as long as they get close to me, I will immediately chop them down with a knife.

And then, another sword stabbed from behind.

The blood and screams turned this place into a horrific purgatory.

Ji Santing looked at the situation, his eyes slightly red.

Although he had joined the Sand Bandits and became the third in command here, he wanted to abandon his conscience and had long since disregarded life and death; however, when he met Xue Ling again and found the courage to live again, he became the rational and kind person he used to be.

Seeing this scene was nothing short of a terrible thrill for him.

He gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on the sword.

Behind him, there was another group of people who had been held down by him temporarily. Seeing the situation below, they asked anxiously, "Third Master, are we still not moving?"

Ji Santing said calmly: "No rush."

On the other side, the big boss Wu Lun, standing on the top of the mountain, saw this scene, but a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

very good.

This is the result he wants.

They were originally worried that Ji Santing would have second thoughts and betray them during the battle tonight, but he didn't expect that. He still led his men to fight hard against the enemy.

but--

The battle situation below was not as he had hoped.

The Sand Bandits were Sand Bandits after all, just a bunch of rabble, while the troops led by Wu Ding were soldiers who had followed the Duke in battle and were also strictly trained on weekdays. Although they fell into the Sand Bandits' trap at the beginning and suffered a lot of losses from being attacked from both sides, when the real hand-to-hand combat began, the combat effectiveness of the regular army showed its advantage.

After a while, they gained the upper hand.

Ji Santing's men were defeated and soon retreated to the back of the huge rock that had been blown to pieces. They knew very well that if they retreated any further, they would enter the camp in the hot moon bend.

Wu Lun's brows furrowed.

He immediately waved his hand and shouted to his men, who were ambushing in the valleys on both sides: "Attack!"

"yes!"

At his command, the bandits on both sides immediately emerged from the valley. A group of them waved torches in their hands, lighting up the entire valley, and rushed down waving swords.

The soldiers who had been fighting bloody battles looked up at this moment and saw that another group of people had been killed and come down from the valleys on both sides. At this time, they could no longer hold on.

They originally thought that they were just dealing with a group of sand bandits in the Hot Moon Bay, which should be easy for them to capture. However, they did not expect that these sand bandits were so cunning. Not only did they set up ambushes and attack them from the front and back, causing them to suffer heavy losses before they even made a move, but now they were using a rotation battle to consume their physical strength.

If this goes on, I'm afraid all their men will be killed in this valley, and they won't be able to enter the Thermidor!

At this time, Wu Ding was in the crowd, so panicked that he didn't know what to do.

It was not his first time to go to the battlefield, but he never expected that he would be beaten so badly by a group of sand bandits and a bunch of rabble.

He covered his chest with one hand where the arrow had hit him, and his other shoulder drooped weakly. He didn't even have the strength to lift his sword. Seeing the bandits rushing over, he opened his eyes wide in fear and kept backing away.

What should I do? What should I do?

“Kill!”

Those sand bandits were like a fresh force. When they rushed down, they immediately chopped down the soldiers who were at the front.

The screams and the splattering blood were clearly illuminated by the light of the torches in the valley.

If just now it was a fight in the dark, then now it is a massacre that is seen clearly in the open air before our eyes.

Those sand bandits are the most powerful troops under Wu Lun.

Not only were they agile, but they were also brutal. After killing someone, they would step on the corpses and hack and kill as they went. The cruel scene left the people around them stunned.

The purpose of Wu Lun and Long Tingyun arranging an ambush here is to weaken the imperial army to the greatest extent and let them know that the Hot Moon Bay is a hard bone that they cannot chew. Only in this way will the emperor give up.

Only then can they continue to occupy the Thermidor Crescent.

At this time, Wu Lun asked his trusted men to blow the horns in their hands.

As the horn sounded, another group of soldiers rushed out from the interior of the Hot Moon Bend and rushed directly towards the canyon.

Wu Ding's men were almost in despair at this moment.

At this point, they were completely at the mercy of others and it was impossible for them to survive.

More and more bandits rushed down from both sides of the valley.

In terms of momentum, the sand bandits had completely overwhelmed the imperial army. Even the personal soldiers protecting Wu Ding were frightened at this moment. Just as he was distracted, a sand bandit rushed up behind him and chopped him down with a knife.

"ah--"

A shrill scream was accompanied by Wu Ding's exclamation.

Wu Lun stood above the valley, looking at the tragic scene below. He became furious and kept shouting, "Kill them! Kill them!"

All those who dare to enter the Hot Moon must be killed!

He shouted while laughing wildly, "No one can enter the Thermidor Crescent. Anyone who tries to enter will die. Today, none of you will return alive!"

Just as he was laughing wildly, suddenly something white began to sway and fall in front of his eyes.

It’s… snow.
