Chapter 1276: The Sacrifice of the Scarlet Sun
On the battlefield on the west bank of Qinshui, there were still many battles, and Gao Ping was still commanding the Song army to resist with all his might, advancing to the east step by step.
At this time, there is the 1st Brigade of the Japanese to block, Wulie's main force has not yet formed a threat, he needs to continue to disperse the Jin army's foot soldiers, as close as possible to the 20th Brigade of Tielin, and then to the east, as long as he reaches the west bank, there is room for maneuver.
There are still three Jin army positions in front of the 20th Brigade Town, and the 20th Brigade Town will not be needed to fight a tailwind battle at all, as long as the Ji County Town is taken, the Jin Army will inevitably retreat, and a few small stubborn resistance positions will not be as they want when the time comes.
However, the situation took a turn for the worse, and these positions were the existence of human lives, and he began to block the advance of the 20th Brigade Town, and now he intercepted the retreat of the entire army.
Obviously, the top level of the Jin army was premeditated, that is, taking advantage of his indifference, he laid down a few tenacious wedges, and then continued to increase the troops, and by the time the Song army found out, it had become a hard bone to gnaw.
However, this group of officials in front of the palace, as the leaders of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, they were arrogant, and even despised other forbidden armies, a battle of life and death, and their combat effectiveness suddenly broke out, making the Jin army suffer a lot, and a crowd of people fell.
The 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army, squeezed by tens of thousands of foot soldiers of the Jin Army, and plundered by the two wings of Wulie's abducted horses, fought valiantly.
Unfortunately, they have the most elite fighters, but they lack a strong support, and those long-range projection devices are all on the east coast.
In the face of the plundering and shooting of the Jin Army's horse team, the foot soldiers kept approaching, and they gradually fell behind. Running out of arrows with them, some detachments began to destroy crossbows, drawing steel swords and fighting fiercely with the Jin army.
Under the strong pressure of the Jin army, the formation of the first brigade of the Japanese town continued to deform and dissolve, some battalions were divided by the Jin army, and disappeared in the surging crowd in a moment, and some sections of the military formation have also been broken through by the Jin army.
The 10th Brigade Town of Shenwei and the 15th Brigade Town of Longwei were relatively better, they were facing all the Han army foot soldiers, as well as a small number of Han army horse troops, and their combat effectiveness was not too strong, and they were reluctant to advance eastward step by step. It's a pity that while walking and fighting, you still need to stop and adjust the formation, which delays a lot of precious time, but there is no way, it is very difficult for the army to move, if you don't stop to rest, I am afraid that there will be a break.
The most headache is the three positions in the middle of the army, they are desperate, the Jin army is also desperate, and the troops responsible for playing the vanguard pay a great price.
Of course, if it is really a real fight, it will not be difficult to take these three positions, the key is that the Song army has no time. If it passes through, the other party is powerless to stop it, and it will inevitably cause the rupture of the military formation, and the scattered military formation on the march is still under the pressure of the Jin Army's horse and infantry army, and the consequences are unimaginable, so it is better to stop and fight to the death.
Gao Ping is quite a toothache, seeing the battlefield of the first brigade town of the Japanese army, the smoke of gunpowder is getting thicker and thicker, indicating that the two sides are fiercely fighting, judging by his experience, I am afraid that the first brigade town will not last too long.
"Captain, the Seventh Brigade Town is not moving closer to us, they have been rushing forward." Liu Zhuang's face was pale, and he reported the military information as soon as he got it.
Gao Ping was silent when he heard this, how could he not understand the intention of the Seventh Brigade Town, which was to sacrifice himself to attract the attention of the Jin army and buy him time to retreat.
"Tai Lieutenant, there are still more than 7,000 steps, as long as we solve a few captives who don't know whether they are alive or dead, we will rush over in one go." Liu Zhuang was a little impatient, the Tielin Army retreated too quickly, and the two brigades and towns were under too much pressure, so they couldn't help but scold the Twentieth Brigade of the Tielin Army for being in command.
It can be regarded as the luck of the 20th Brigade Town, the roadblock at the beginning has now become their lucky point, the Jin army is busy besieging the other four brigade towns, but the blow to them is relaxed, so that they can quickly retreat eastward.
"Xin Daoyuan followed up and covered, Hu Yantong led the troops to press up, please Xin Junzhu leaned forward to control and quickly open a channel." Gao Ping made a decision to let the 10th Brigade of the Shenwei launch a strong attack, that is, to form an attack formation in an in-line, and the 15th Brigade of the Dragon Guard Army was responsible for covering, which would be faster than the defensive formation.
Moreover, he did not solve a few positions in front, and he could not always go up together, so he covered with the 15th Brigade Town, and the 10th Brigade Town became an attack formation, so it was necessary to open the road in the shortest possible time.
It's just that since then, it is to directly abandon the first and seventh brigade towns, which is obviously not very kind, people are desperately intercepting the Jin army and horse army, and risking their lives to attract the attention of the other party, but you only care about escaping, which is too much.
However, looking at the problem from another angle, isn't the suicide fighting of the 1st and 7th brigades just to cover the boss's breakthrough?
At this time, Zhang Dong was already in a blood-stained robe, arguing with Guan Shigu.
"I am the military master, and now I order you to turn around immediately and quickly move closer to Captain Gao." Guan Shigu was so angry that Zhang Dong was too disagreeable, and he actually launched a suicidal attack to cover Gao Ping's retreat, isn't this a fool?
"The first brigade town is desperately delaying the captives, it is a good time for Gao Taiwei to retreat, we must not let these mountain mongrels slow down, as long as we advance to the county seat, we will definitely be able to attract them." Zhang Dong has made up his mind, insists on his own decision, people always have to eat, the Jin army's grain and grass are mostly in the county seat, as long as he decides to march to the county seat, the Jin army has to besiege him, so as not to lose grain and grass.
Now, the Gongsheng Army has not yet participated in the war, even if the Jin Army defeats five brigades and towns, it will fall into the embarrassing situation of having no food and grass, and it is not easy to say that it can finally block the Gongsheng Army, someone must make sacrifices, he may not take the initiative to do it, the position is just right when it must be sacrificed, for the safety of the whole army, he has no hesitation.
"I am the commander of the military capital, and I am ordered to control you and others." Guan Shigu saw that Zhang Dong didn't bird him, obviously he was angry.
"I am the commander of the seventh brigade of the first Tianwu brigade, not the Japanese army brigade town, if the captain is greedy for a living, then he will do it himself." Zhang Dong roared without giving in, if the other party dared to entangle again, he would never hesitate to kill, both horizontal and vertical were killed in battle, and the military master was not worth a few dollars.
"The main Guan army is leaving, then hurry up, with us and others to attract prisoners, the military master can safely fight out of the encirclement." Zhang Qiong said coldly.
Guan Shigu was stunned, if he wanted to say that Zhang Dong was not afraid at all, and there were enough reasons to take it, Zhang Qiongke said both. This guy is the deputy capital of the camp to join the army, the official position is not as high as him, but the power in wartime is above him, the deputy capital is to assist the capital to join the army, full-time responsible for operational command, and has the power to issue military orders to the subordinate armies.
