Chapter 1135: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (25)
Tucheng, above the position of the Chu army, looking at the endless stream of Han troops, Yu Ping's face was miserable, and finally at the last moment, but he also completed the task, according to the general's order, resisted the Han army here until the last moment, and was not allowed to retreat, and the order to fight until one soldier was sent to his own hands again, which meant to force himself to die! Yu Ping couldn't understand why. But as the elite of the Chu army, Yu Ping is determined to carry out this military order to the end, he has been blocking the opponent here for a day and a half, and if he can block the Han army for two days with more than 1,000 horses, then he can be regarded as a glory even if he dies.
"Prepare for battle!" He roared.
Fu Jiang raised his spear, this time, he didn't even take a shield, and shouted at the soldiers of the first battalion: "Brothers, in the last battle, we disgraced the second regiment, in this battle, we have to take back the face we lost, the brothers of the baggage company are looking at us from the sky, do you have the confidence to take the enemy's position?"
"Kill, kill, kill!" One by one, the soldiers of the battalion screamed.
"All officers are out of line!" Fu Jiang roared sharply.
Company commanders, platoon commanders, squad leaders, and dozens of officers stepped out of the ranks.
"You will form a death squad with me, and I am invincible!" Fu Jiang raised his arms and shouted.
"I'm invincible!" Dozens of officers raised their weapons in their hands.
"I'm invincible!" Hundreds of soldiers of a battalion roared with all their strength, and the strength was almost the same, but they were defeated by the enemy in a head-to-head confrontation, which made the arrogant soldiers of the battalion feel ashamed one by one, especially the more than 100 soldiers who survived with a face, and in the last battle, they lost nearly half of their combat effectiveness. This time, a company of demands is still standing in the first wave of queues.
Seeing that the morale of the first battalion was under the leadership of Fu Jiang, sweeping away the previous decline, Mao Afu's face finally showed a smile, "Fu Jiang is still good at leading the troops, in the last battle, it was just a light enemy, if you can take Tucheng along the way, it will also be regarded as a meritorious service."
"Yes, yes!" Song Bao, the second battalion commander on the side, hurriedly echoed: "In the future, if the division commander is to blame, the regiment commander will have to speak for Brother Fu."
Mao Afu was silent for a moment: "Senior Commander Dong is very protective of calves, I hope we can fight this battle smoothly, as long as we can take Pengcheng, the previous failure is nothing, the division can deal with it itself, if the fight is not smooth, it will be difficult to say."
"How can it not be smooth, our third division has nearly 20,000 soldiers, and Pengcheng is only more than 10,000 defenders, and the rest are some local miscellaneous soldiers, if twice the strength can't defeat Pengcheng, then we are still a Han army!" Song Yu said indifferently. We suffered a small loss before, and today we will double it back."
"That's right." A smile bloomed on Mao Afu's face, "Let's start!"
The trumpeters blew the horn of the marching horn, and several large catapults assembled by the sappers began to whistle, and a huge stone weighing more than 100 catties flew up in the air and smashed heavily into the enemy's defense line.
With the flying of stone bullets, Fu Jiang strode forward, first trot, his steps became bigger and bigger, and he ran towards the hillside in front of him, and behind him were all the officers of the first battalion.
"Divine crossbows, ten sets of a group of rounds, non-stop attack, until Fu Jiang lands the enemy position." Mao Afu ordered loudly.
Song Bao was startled, "Regiment Commander, shooting like this is very likely to injure our own brother by mistake."
Mao Afu said coldly: "The enemy's position is too steep to let the opponent take the lead, if they come out and throw rolling stones and knock wood, our casualties will be greater."
Song Bao turned his head to look at the polished stones left around in front of him, and took a deep breath, war is always cruel. Even if he is a soldier, he is often frightened by the tragedy on the battlefield.
"Throwing stones!" Yu Ping yelled loudly.
As soon as several Chu soldiers around them straightened up, they screamed and fell back, the crossbow arrows whistling above their heads did not give them a chance to rise at all, and if they leaned out slightly, they would immediately be splashed back by arrows like rain.
"Bed crossbow, bed crossbow return fire, suppress!"
"General, the crossbowmen are dead!" Behind him, the voice of a soldier with a cry was heard. The bed crossbow was also shot badly!"
Yu Ping smashed the ground with his fist fiercely, his fingernails were deeply embedded in the flesh of his palm, this kind of fighting, he had no room to fight back, his position was almost covered with a layer of crossbow arrows, below, the Han army was still pouring arrow rain on it, Yu Ping roughly estimated that at this moment, I was afraid that the Han army had shot tens of thousands of crossbow arrows on his position.
The enemy's footsteps, the shouts are getting closer and closer, they are rushing up with the rain of arrows, Yu Ping sticks to the edge of the wall to show his eyes, the arrows are still whistling overhead, he sees the opponent, the arrows on his head are like rain rushing towards his position, from time to time there will be arrows falling in their ranks, knocking down their own people, but no one stops. At the forefront was the enemy general who made him remember vividly, and on the first day, he had a confrontation with him. Silently lifting the spear beside him, Yu Ping knew that when the opponent rushed to his position, the enemy's arrow rain would stop, and then there would be brutal hand-to-hand combat.
"Ready for battle!" Yu Ping shouted loudly: "For the sake of Da Chu, fight to the death and not retreat."
He took two steps back, the iron spear in his hand pointing diagonally upward, imitating the general's movements, and behind the barricade, long guns rose up one after another.
The rain of arrows overhead suddenly stopped, and almost at the same moment, the vanguard of the Han army climbed the barricade.
"Kill!" Yu Ping did not hesitate at all, the spear in his hand poked out, and stabbed to death a Han soldier who had just jumped on the wall, looking at the badge on this person's chest, it should be an officer, the officer threw away the weapon in his hand, grabbed Yu Ping's gun with both hands, his eyes widened, staring at Yu Ping, so that Yu Ping involuntarily shivered, his wrist shook, and he wanted to pull out the spear, but he didn't pull it out.
Yu Ping could only throw away the spear he was used to, because he knew very well that if he hesitated, he would not leave his life behind, because at this moment, more Han troops climbed the wall.
Fu Jiang did not climb up, he was like a fierce beast, running wildly, kicking on the wall, and stepped on the wall in one step, when his left foot fell on the top of the wall, he kicked hard, and the whole person flew up, below him, a Chu soldier stabbed out with a shot, but stabbed under his footboard, the Chu State looked up in amazement, and saw only a black shadow hitting him, with a click, the head of the gun slapped squarely on the face of the Chu army, and hit him until his skull was broken, and he was unrecognizable.
Yu Ping fell, when he fell, he threw away the spear in his hand, wiped out a dagger from his waist with one hand, and took out the short crossbow that the Han army was standard for officers, and the three Chu soldiers fell to the ground, holding the dagger in one hand, Fu Jiang rushed into the crowd of the Chu army like a mad tiger, every time the sharp dagger fell, it would harvest a life, in the dense pile of people behind the wall, the short blade has an incomparable advantage over the spear and spear.
Fu Jiang made a breakthrough here, and the defense line of more than ten meters was disturbed by him alone, and behind him, the Han army continued to climb over the wall from here, and the first batch to cross was the soldiers of the first company who were determined to be ashamed.
Seeing that Fu Jiang's first battalion lived up to expectations and finally succeeded in killing the enemy's position, Mao Afu sighed softly with relief, "Okay!" As long as the enemy and the enemy engage in hand-to-hand combat, Mao Afu is confident that the Han army is stronger than any army.
"Song Bao, attack!" He waved his hand.
"Yes!" Song Bao strode away.
When night fell, the entire Tucheng had become the world of the Han army, the Yellow Dragon Flag was flying high, and Mao Afu boarded the Tucheng, but his face was very happy, because in front of him, it was the remains of Fu Jiang.
The soldiers did not move Fu Jiang, he still maintained the same as when he died, a spear pierced deep into the body of an enemy general in front of him, and under him, there were two broken guns, the barrels of which had been broken, but the head of the spear remained in his body.
"Regiment commander, the captured prisoner said that this person is the top general of the Chu army here, called Yu Ping." With tears in his eyes, Song Bao whispered to Mao Afu.
"Bastard, I'm going to tear you to pieces!" Xie Rong of the first battalion and the second company rushed up crying, the bloody knife in his hand was raised high, and he was about to cut off Yu Ping's head.
"Stop!" Mao Afu roared sharply.
"Captain!" Xie Rong turned around crying and looked at Mao Afu, "The battalion commander is dead!"
"I'm not blind!" Mao Afu let out a breath: "Fu Jiang washed away his shame with his heroic death, he is a model and hero of our Han soldiers, as for this general of the Chu army, he will not take a step back when he fights to the last person, which is also respectable. Let's bury him alive!"
Just when the Han army seized Tucheng, the Green Willow Villa also fell into a sea of fire, taking advantage of the night, Qiu He ordered the Jiang soldiers on both sides to sneak into the water with a group of soldiers who were proficient in water, Jiang Bing's luck was good, he found a passage underwater, and what surprised him even more was that this passage actually led directly to a pond in the village, around the pond, the houses were extremely exquisite, Jiang Bing who peeked out from under the water, observed it a little, and guessed that this was the backyard of the evil Liu Yiqing.
Dozens of soldiers came out of the water, to his surprise, it was hot outside, but there was no one in the backyard, Jiang Bing unceremoniously took his soldiers to the kitchen, carried a few buckets of grease, and set this Huihong manor on fire with a fire.
The backyard caught fire, shouting to kill the sky, the outside of Qiu He immediately invested all his troops, the defenders of Green Willow Villa were attacked on both sides, the village was in chaos, the army was defeated, and the enemy was killed, and a large number of people threw down their weapons and surrendered to the Han army.
The battle ended quickly, but what made Qiu He angry was that Liu Yiqing, the owner of Green Willow Villa, and his son Liu An, who commanded the battle, both disappeared. This greatly overshadowed the victory in this battle. (To be continued......)
