Chapter 329: Falling Short
The next day, Tong Shun and Wu Yanqin led 2,000 soldiers and horses to go out, and since the last defeat, they did not dare to be careless this time, in addition to the significant increase in the number of troops, all kinds of offensive and defensive weapons are available. For example, a large shield against opponent archers, such as a powerful large trebuchet, and so on.
Tong Shun is bound to win this time, this period of time of the fierce soldiers and horses have achieved remarkable results, the soldiers are full of fighting spirit, it is the best time to attack the city and seize the land, yesterday's unpleasantness only made him more angry, but also prompted him to speed up the speed of sending troops. Although the escape of the whole army would bring benefits to Nanmen Liang, he still believed that the victory in this battle would be his own, and he looked at the snake-like team behind him with confidence.
The army was unimpeded along the way, and like last time, Nanmen Liang did not send troops to intercept it halfway, and the two sides would fight to the death outside Nanmen Liang's camp. Tong Shun divided the army into three teams, and personally led 1,000 soldiers and horses to attack from the middle road, while Wu Yan and Jian Haoran each led 500 soldiers and horses to attack from the left and right roads.
The powerful trebuchets were the first to attack, only to see large boulders fall from the sky and smash into the many arrow towers deployed outside the opponent's camp, which had played a great role in the last battle, but now they were more vulnerable to the powerful trebuchets, and after a few rounds of attacks, they were unrecognizable.
Sweeping away the first line of defense, Tong Shun waved his hand and ordered the three soldiers and horses to attack together, only to see the dense soldiers pouring forward like a tide. Nanmen Liang's side had already prepared, and a large number of archers shot en masse, and for a while, arrows rained down and shot towards a large number of enemy troops who rushed up. But these enemies were not lambs to the slaughter, and they gathered together, and at the same time raised their shields against the flying arrows.
With the shield defense, coupled with the protection of the armor on the body, the power of the flying arrows was greatly reduced, and only a dozen people were shot down in a few rounds, and they could not resist their attack at all. Seeing that the enemy army was getting closer and closer, Nanmen Liang couldn't help it, and he shouted: "Everyone go up, fight with them." Saying that, he took the lead in grabbing out, and Xia Yucheng, Hong Sheng and others beside him swept out close behind, and a big battle was already on the line.
The soldiers and horses of the two sides quickly exchanged hands, and a fierce battle was staged in the wilderness, the sound of killing was constantly coming in the ears, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood, and from time to time the fighting soldiers could be seen falling. Yi Qingfeng, Jing Yang, and Zhong Jialei, who were resisting on the right side, felt a lot of pressure at this time, because their opponent was Wu Yan, a demon thief with the magic of "summoning".
Wu Yan will not show mercy, and his last defeat will only make him more murderous. The gun monster was summoned directly, and his huge body was very dazzling in the crowd, but compared to his body, I am afraid that his terrifying methods are more terrifying. A large number of short guns spit out from his bloody mouth, and then shot quickly into the soldiers and horses on Yi Qingfeng's side, the force of the gun monster was extraordinary, and the person who hit it was either killed or injured, as if it was a killing machine.
Seeing the gun monster killing all directions, Yi Qingfeng, Jingyang, and Zhong Jialei were angry in their eyes. Jing Yang's eyes erupted with fire and said: "Damn, this ghost thing is really infuriating, I hate to smash him with one punch." ”
Yi Qingfeng said: "This ghost thing can't win if we don't get rid of it, Jingyang, Jia Lei, the three of us will meet him and see if he is indestructible." ”
Jingyang and Zhong Jialei nodded and said, "Okay, we have this intention." As he spoke, the three of them swept out together.
The three of them were divided into three directions to attack the gun monster, Yi Qingfeng attacked head-on, Jing Yang and Zhong Jialei were left and right, the three of them cooperated tacitly, and the cooperation was almost seamless.
The spear monster had no time to attack the enemy soldiers and horses at this time, and he wholeheartedly dealt with the onslaught of Yi Qingfeng and the others. Despite his large body, he is not very clumsy in moving, and he can turn and retreat with ease. A huge black hammer in his hand was even more free, and in the face of attacks from all directions, he seemed to be at ease without the slightest panic.
Yi Qingfeng did it with all his might, and the whirlwind sword technique was urged to the extreme, only to see Dao Dao Hanguang pounce out fiercely with a strong sword qi, the gun monster was not to be outdone, the heavy hammer in his hand swung wildly, and the Dao Dao roared to meet it, and a burst of roar came, Yi Qingfeng only felt a pain and numbness in the hand holding the long sword, obviously in terms of strength, the gun monster was superior.
Like Yi Qingfeng, Jingyang and Zhong Jialei's attacks on the left and right did not get a bargain, the gun monster attacked and defended well, and could not find the slightest flaw, and the two sides fought for dozens of rounds, but no one could take the lead, and the battle was deadlocked.
Yi Qingfeng, Jing Yang, and Zhong Jialei can still support, but the three hundred soldiers and horses under their command are not so lucky, and the opponent's five hundred soldiers and horses are not only superior in numbers, but also not weak. After a while, you and I gradually weakened, and were beaten and retreated, and the situation is not optimistic.
At the same time, the Chinese army of Nanmen Liang and Xia Yucheng, as well as the left army of Ye Min and Hua Changyue, were also fighting with their opponents, and the two groups of people fought with all their might, and it didn't seem to be weak from the scene. However, the decline of Yi Qingfeng's three people on the right side still made Nanmen's conscience anxious, and he knew that if there was a gap all the way, the situation on the field between the two sides would change dramatically.
He immediately said: "Chief Hong, the situation on their side is not good, you bring a team of people over to support." ”
Hong Sheng led the army away, and with the help of friendly forces, the decline on the right side immediately stopped, and he was gradually able to fight to a draw with the opponent.
stopped the decline on the right side, Nanmen Liang commanded his soldiers to kill the enemy bravely on the one hand, and on the other hand, instructed Ye Min on the left side to step up the attack, because Ye Min's opponent was Jian Haoran, he was originally a gentleman, usually clothed and fed, where had he seen such a bloody scene with real knives and guns, and he couldn't adapt to it for a while, but he just hid behind the crowd and closed his eyes and commanded.
As the attack on Ye Min's side intensified, Jian Haoran's soldiers and horses were a little unable to resist, and gradually showed a tendency to retreat. If it is changed to another main general, he has to try to resist it no matter what at this moment, but unfortunately Jian Haoran is a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death, seeing that his soldiers and horses are a little invincible, he is afraid of his life, so he first smeared oil on the soles of his feet and retreated. Seeing that the main general still had no intention of fighting, his soldiers and horses were willing to give their lives, and they were also defeated and retreated. Ye Min took advantage of the victory to pursue and defeated the opponent in one go.
Tong Shun in the middle of the road was furious when he saw this scene, and he had no choice but to cook raw rice and mature rice, he could only secretly hate that he had picked the wrong person, and chose Jian Haoran as the main general. A defeat on the right flank meant that the enemy would be able to free up a single line of troops to outflank him, and the consequences could be imagined. Taking advantage of the fact that the left and middle roads were still in the upper hand at this time, he planned to withdraw his troops in Mingjin, so as not to fall into the encirclement of the enemy.
Nanmen Liang was not far away, and a bitter battle between the two sides ended, with the victory of Ye Min's side, this battle could be regarded as a victory in general.
The good situation was ruined because of Jian Haoran's greed for life and fear of death, Tong Shun's anger can be imagined, and he can't wait to correct Jian Haoran on the spot. However, after all, Jian Mansion is the number one wealthy family in Wangxi City, and the power in his hands is very large, if he is killed, it will definitely lead to the resistance of his subordinates, but it will cause internal friction. After all, Tong Shun is scheming, he will never do such a loss-making deal, after thinking about it again, he decided to let Jian Haoran go, just take away his battlefield command.
Jian Haoran knew that he was wrong, and he had no disagreement with this punishment, he was not used to these bloody scenes, so he found an excuse to return to the city with his henchmen and continue to spend all day drinking.
