After a long time, Li Hu struggled out of his grief and was unable to ask: "How many people are there?"

"The sixth general of the Tiger Lie Army has about two thousand people... The second general of the Black Mountain Army has two thousand people, but the deputy general Hu Lei was killed." Wu Xiong's voice showed a hint of fatigue and uneasiness, "The first general of the Black Mountain Army has a thousand people left. The eighth general of the Tiger Lie Army was brought back by you. In my opinion, there are only more than one thousand people left at most. In addition, Lao Tan's thirteenth general, two thousand people are probably the same. There are also the Iron Guards, and Luo Shuai is here. The two battalions of iron guards are about seven or eight hundred people."

"How much do we lose?"

"There are 13,000 infantry troops, plus the three thousand prisoners who have been added, but now there are only more than 6,000 left." Wu Xiong said.

Li Hu's heart was sank and speechless. The infantry lost more than 6,000 people, and the horse soldiers and iron guards who had lost in the fierce battle just now, the rebels had lost more than 7,000. Especially the four infantry generals, who had replenished their troops three times in a row. The loss of their original team was conceivable. Although it is not known how much the front army suffered from attacking the Tribulus Mountain, the number of people who siege the Liao army at night was at least 6,700. The rebels lost tens of thousands of people in the two battles, but there was no way. If the rebels want to escape from the cage and escape from the desperate situation, they must pay this price.

"How many prisoners are there?"

"Two thousand." Wu Xiong asked, "Are you going to add immediately?"

Li Hu looked up at the sky. It should have passed Shen Shichu. If nothing unexpected happens, reinforcements will come quickly in one or two minutes. As long as you fight to the last defensive formation, you will be able to spend it safely tonight. After fighting for a day, the rebels suffered shocking losses. The Jin army will not suffer less losses. The Jurchens are the main attacker, without the geographical advantage, and the casualties should be greater. If you fight again before dark and consume some of the Jin soldiers, Wanyan Zongwang will be unable to attack again, and can only watch the rebels go south.

He angered Zong Wang. The purpose was actually very simple, to let him attack at any cost. When he found out that he was in the local area, he had to continue fighting. In the end, he would lose his troops and lose his generals. He could no longer fight. What could he do? Now that he was attacked on both sides, he must kill one before escaping from the death ground, otherwise one would be blocked in front and the other would be chased in the back. He would be very passive and could only be slaughtered.

Li Hu was about to speak, but suddenly he heard someone shouting excitedly. "Big Flag, Da Flag... Look. Someone is back alive."

Li Hu turned around suddenly.

On the hills in the distance, two rebel soldiers held high flags and carried a man, and strode.

"Hurry, go and have a look..." Li Hu was very excited and shouted at the Iron Guard.

Fang Jin and several iron guards flew on their horses, and had just run dozens of steps before stopping.

The Jin army flag appeared.

Then teams of Jin army infantry walked up the hills, and in a blink of an eye, the Jin army was everywhere.

The soldiers of the rebels were stunned.

What surprised them was not the speed of the Jin army's advancement, but the two rebel soldiers. The two were only a few dozen steps away from the Jin army, but they were not afraid. They stood up, held the flag, and carried the injured, ignored the Jin people and left by themselves. Occasionally, they stopped to take a breath and wiped their sweat.

An incredible scene.

Fang Jin rushed back with a sad and angry look on his face.

"General General, Luo Shuai was killed."

Li Hu suddenly looked up and it turned out that the two soldiers were carrying back Luo Zhongyuan. Li Hu was so sad that he was about to raise his foot to take a look, but suddenly he thought of the decisive battle that was about to begin, so he stopped again.

"Cover it." Li Hu said in a silence, "You send Luo Shuai to the Shuai tent yourself, and don't let anyone know."

Fang Jin understood it and turned around and left.

Li Hu looked back at Wu Xiong, Gao Hao, and Tan Hongyi, and smiled bitterly, "There is no time to add. The horse army dismounted, added the Iron Guard Camp, and added the four generals and infantry. We still have nine thousand people, which is enough."

Wu Xiong and the other two looked at each other, with a decisive look on their faces and nodded resolutely.

"Beat the drum..." Li Hu raised his hand and shouted wildly, "Fight to the death with Jingou."

Zong Wang looked into the distance with his horse.

The fifth defensive formation looked like a big bull's head. The formation in the rebel army was the bull's head. It was a slope along the bull's head. This slope was more than 200 steps, which was enough for the horse army to charge, but the rebel army obviously did not dare to compete with the Jin people for the horse army. They dug more than a dozen trenches on the slope, and buried the Jilu Village between the ditches, and still intercepted them with infantry.

The left and right wings of the formation are two steep hills, like big horns on a cow's head. The rebel army also deployed heavy troops on the "cow horns".

When you look up a little, you can see the rebel army flag on the cow's head and the dense crowds.

The Jin people did not know how many troops the rebels had, and there was only one approximate number, but those numbers were exaggerated and could not be true and could not make accurate judgments based on this. Therefore, when Zong Wang first saw the people all over the mountains, he was a little surprised, but what surprised him even more was that the rebels actually had stone throwing machines. Although there were not many, under such terrain, concentrated shooting of stone throwing machines on the hillside would cause great damage to the attacking army.

Zong Wang was suffering, and the other Jin generals looked ugly.

Today's battle was so uncomfortable, it was cowardly, and it was a frustrating fight. The tiger fell into the sun and was bullied by a dog. The tiger went down the mountain, but it could not use its strengths, and could not use it. It was beaten everywhere, both angry and helpless. Now the golden man felt that he was both angry and helpless. After fighting for a day, the loss was amazing. Seeing that the fat meat was about to come to his mouth, of course he could not give up halfway. He had to continue to fight, but the loss would be greater. In the end, even if he had eaten the fat piece, it would be more rewarding.

Zong Wang didn't speak, and no one else spoke, and he was in a state of solemnity.

What else can I say now? Now that things have come to this point, I can only grit my teeth and support me and continue to attack. Attack at any cost, I have to fight if I can’t make a fortune.

This was the first time the Jin army had fought a war, from Zongwang to the generals of the army, to the Liaodong rebel army, and to the tiger king Li Hu. Who would have thought that a battle with a firm victory could easily become a war of attrition with a lot of casualties.

Looking back at the battlefield where corpses are everywhere, I really want to cry without tears, but anger has accumulated to the extreme. When the decisive battle comes, it is when anger erupts.

Zong Wang raised his right hand, clenched his fist, then waved it down, "attack."

The Jin army attacked head-on, with two wings restrained.

The two sides fought fiercely. The rebel soldiers were obviously exhausted, and the Jin army replaced the reserve army. Five thousand physically energetic Han people, Bohai people and other foreign soldiers rushed in turn.

The first formation was quickly lost, and then the second formation was lost again.

Zhu Tu, the sixth general of the Tiger Lie Army, was in the third formation. This fierce general was a butcher who killed pigs and cattle. He also participated in the Li Hongda Uprising in his early years. After his failure, he fled home and returned to his old career. At the beginning of the year, he heard that the king had returned, and he went up the mountain with a pig-killing knife. Today he was also injured and was shot by an arrow. This guy was rough and thick-skinned, bit his teeth, pulled out the arrow, and then killed him. After a day of killing, he was so tired that he broke more than a dozen swords and his hands were weak. When he saw the Jin soldiers rushing up, he raised his strength and chopped two of them. Then he was breathless and could not hold his hands up. He was beaten backwards by several Jin soldiers.

The golden horn sounded, and the third formation was lost again.

The Jin army became more and more brave as they fought, with a rainbow of morale and a storm. They successively captured the fourth formation, the fifth formation and the sixth formation, getting closer and closer to the top of the slope. Zi, shouted excitedly.

Luo Sinan suddenly turned around and waved his left hand hard, "Attack, attack..."

The war drums were pounding, the flags surged, and thousands of people holding cables shouted in unison, pulling the cables with all their strength. Thirty-three stone throwing machines roared, and dozens of thick earth bags roared out, drawing graceful arcs in the air, rolling and roaring, and smashing the Jin soldiers with thunder.

"Boom boom boom..." The earth bag smashed into the Jin soldiers' battle formation almost at the same time, and the crowds surged for a while, screams one after another.

Jin soldiers were swarming up, half of the slope was filled with attacking soldiers, with commandos in front and archers in hand, and the battle formation was very tight. At this moment, they were suddenly attacked by stone throwers, and they had no time to react and were hit by "bullets".

From the appearance, this "bounce" looks like a piece of grass bags on the land, but the soil is compacted and filled with pointed wooden stakes. It hits the head or body and is either dead or injured. This thing was invented by the people and is very effective in using it in the face of war.

The stone thrower can be quickly assembled and moved to the battlefield, but there is no stone bullet. This thing is just a waste. Whether it is a heavy thrower with five or seven strokes, it is a pile of waste wood. Just when Luo Sinan was at a loss, the people came up with a solution. There were many straw bags in the old camp, and these straw bags were brought from Longhua and Shancheng. Generally speaking, there were straw bags in the warehouses of each city for emergencies. The rebel army also needed straw bags, which were used now. The straw bags were filled with soil, compacted, and inserted into sharp wooden stakes, which were thirty or forty kilograms, which was no worse than stone bullets. The rebel army did not lack people, and more than 100,000 people were dispatched at the same time, men, women, and young and old were in battle. Ten thousand earth bullets were prepared in one hour.
