Chapter 1473: The Lonely Fortress of the Han Banner (163).
Jiang Fu lay weakly on the top of the fortress, and around him, more than a hundred of his subordinates who were more or less scarred were also leaning or lying down, each with a deep sunken face and a protruding eye socket, which was hungry. They had been without food for three days, and from the beginning of the war, they had been the key targets of the Qin army at the forefront, but relying on the perfect defensive measures and the power of the fortress itself and the strength of the reinforced concrete structure, they stubbornly persevered. Several satellite forts outside have long fallen, and the passage to the main fort was blown up by them on their own initiative, leaving them with only an isolated island, and some other forts nearby have already been captured by the Qin army.
Jiang Fu didn't know what happened to Lu Bin, because now his surroundings were all Qin troops, and the main force of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops poured into Jinyang, and the Han army that responded to the battle was only three armies.
Or because this fortress is too tenacious, causing too many casualties to the Qin army, in the past ten days, there is basically no Qin army to launch an offensive against them, but some vigilant troops have been put to monitor them, anyway, with Jiang Fu's current strength, there is no ability to fight out of the fort at all.
Jiang Fu felt that he was about to die, this time, it was probably his life, and in his heart, he just prayed that Jinyang would never have anything to do, because where were his wife and children.
If he can persevere, then Jinyang shouldn't have anything to do, where is the headquarters of the First Military Region. Now he has no strength at all, under normal circumstances, he lies on the top of the fort like this, and only when the Qin army is likely to attack, he will get up. Commanding the equally weak soldiers to prepare for battle.
The food was gone, but there was plenty of ammunition and weapons, and there were plenty of warehouses under the main fort. But the worst thing is that there is no food. The only good thing is that now it's cold and snowy, and they don't have to worry about water to drink.
Where to lie with his back to the sky, looking at the faint temperature of the sun in the sky, the weather has been much better in the past two days, no more snow, and the sun is also difficult to come out, which makes Jiang Fu's mood a lot better. Finally, I can dry the mildew on my body. He was reluctant to go down to the bottom of the fortress, where the corpses of his comrades were piled up. Stacked one by one, stacked in a pile like a yard of goods.
Or, when, you will be coded on it like this.
The main force of the Qin army had already left them and went to the depths of Jinyang, Jiang Fu now had no idea what was going on outside, all he could do was to stick to this lonely fortress of his own, and wait until the war was won or the whole army was destroyed here and died.
Yes. Jiang Fu was undoubtedly sure of the final victory of the Great Han, and the only doubt was whether he could hold on to that time.
The ground began to tremble, and Jiang Fu, who was lying on the top of the fort, was extremely sensitive to this, and his heart was shocked. He climbed the wall battlement and sat up, looking in the direction of Jinyang through the wall battlement, and a black line appeared in front of him, the forefront. It was a cavalryman who couldn't see the end at a glance, looking at the fluttering flag, Jiang Fu only felt that it was dark in front of him. It's Qin Jun. Did they take Jinyang, and why did they come back?
"Prepare for battle!" He roared hoarsely, "Most of the Qin army is coming, ready to fight. ”
On the top of the fort, more than 100 Han soldiers struggled to climb to their posts, the artillery was loaded with ammunition, the crossbow was aimed at the Qin army, a grenade was taken out of the compartment and placed in a position within reach, in the second floor of the fortress, some Han soldiers who could still move were also struggling to climb up the stairs, more than 1,500 people in a battalion of Jiangfu fought for more than a month, and now there are less than 300 people still alive, and more than 100 people who stick to the top of the fort are lightly injured, and the second floor is seriously injured, Jiang Fu watched those seriously injured stubbornly climb up, and he didn't stop it, because he knew very well that as long as the Qin army attacked with another high-intensity attack, everyone's outcome would be the same.
"Brother Crab, I'm coming to you, you crossed the Nai He Bridge and drank Meng Po soup, I don't know if you still recognize me?" Looking at the Qin army surging like a tide, Jiang Fu smiled bitterly: "But I also have enough money, I gave birth to two dolls, one with your surname and one with my surname, don't they all say that there are three unfilial ones, and no queen is the greatest, both of us have incense to inherit." ”
There were more and more Qin troops, Qin soldiers, infantry, black pressure like an angry tide, swept not far from their lonely fort, Jiang Fu saw that those Qin troops who had been monitoring them also pulled out of camp in a panic, and ran towards the direction of Hangu Pass with those large troops.
No one attacked them. Jiang Fu was a little confused, on the top of their fort, there was still the Yellow Dragon Banner of the Han Dynasty, although the flag was no longer in shape, it had almost turned into a few strips of cloth. But it is still very clear that this is still the territory of the Han army.
"Battalion commander, do you want to fire?" One soldier asked, looking back. Above this distance, artillery is within reach.
"If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone." Jiang Fu said weakly, the Qin army did not come to attack him, it was already thankful, he didn't want to cause trouble now, looking at the waves of Qin troops passing by, Jiang Fu had some understanding in his heart, the other party was retreating, he was running away, that is to say, the Han Dynasty had won.
He wanted to cheer, but he didn't have the strength.
On the battlefield of Jinyang, there was a strange scene, on the top of a lonely fort, hundreds of scarred Han troops witnessed thousands of Qin troops advancing from their fort, the Qin army did not attack them, and the Han army did not open artillery attacks.
"If we win, we'll definitely win." Jiang Fu lay down again. On the top of the fort, all the soldiers wanted to cheer like Jiang Fu, but they didn't have the slightest strength.
Xu Yahua, the commander of the Qin army, restrained his horse and looked at the fluttering Yellow Dragon Flag in the distance with a complicated expression, which had turned into a few strips of cloth, but it was still proudly waving in the wind.
"I thought I'd taken this lonely fort down a long time ago." He muttered.
"General, if we want to launch another attack, they must be at the end of their crossbow now." Beside him, an adjutant general asked. "The last general will personally command."
Xu Yahua smiled self-deprecatingly: "Is there still this?" We have already lost, even the bottoms have lost to the Han people, take this lonely fort, and kill a few remnants of the soldiers inside will be angry? For a month, a whole month, we didn't even take such a lonely fort. ”
He lowered his head, tears in his eyes, "We have no chance to return here, these Han soldiers, although they are our biggest enemies, although I hate them the most, but I still have to pay tribute to them, this world is Han people, Han people can win the world, it is precisely because of such soldiers!" ”
Listening to Xu Yahua's words, all the generals around him lowered their heads in shame.
Xu Yahua once thought that he had won the volume, and hundreds of thousands of troops sent a letter to Guguan, and fought fiercely with the remaining troops of the First Military Region commanded by Xu Yuan, and slowly pressed Yan Haibo and Ding Wei into the city, forcing the opponent to hold on to the city, and no longer had the ability to go out of the city to fight, but just when he was about to launch the final general attack, the bad news came, the Chu army was completely defeated in the Jingzhou theater, the Chu State was destroyed, and the surrender was completed, the Qin army Lu Zihui was annihilated, Lu Zihui was captured alive, and Wang Ming, the southern border army, surrendered. Wang Changyong's department out of Shannan County was attacked by the third military region of the Han army and Wang Jian's department, and the whole army was annihilated.
This time, Chu and Han made a desperate attack with the final blow, and once again ended in a fiasco, and this defeat will completely lay the situation on the mainland, and the Qin State will no longer be able to launch an attack on the Han people, and the rest is just to see when the Han people will come to fight them.
"Let's go!" He lowered his head and rode his horse slowly. "Inform all our troops, don't touch this lonely fort, let our soldiers see how tenaciously the Han army is holding on, because next, it's our turn to hold on, if our army can be like them, then there is still a little hope for the Qin State."
The retreat of the Qin army lasted until dark, and when the last banner of the Qin army disappeared in front of their eyes, Jiang Fu's tense nerves finally relaxed, and this relaxation, he only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he fainted on the top of the fort.
"Jiang Fu, Jiang Fu!" Someone kept shouting in his ears, and a stream of heat poured in from his mouth, slowly flowing down his throat to his abdomen, and a warmth began to spread throughout his body. He slowly opened his eyes, blinked a few times, and was immediately startled, because the person who was half-holding himself in his arms at this moment and was feeding something to his mouth with a spoon was actually Li Mingjun, the commander of the Twentieth Army.
I subconsciously wanted to jump in, but I was still weak, and my body didn't obey the call, "Commander." He struggled to raise his hand, trembling and wanting to salute, but as soon as his hand was raised, he was held down by Li Mingjun, "Jiang Fu, you are really good, look, Commander Xu Yuan has also come to see you." ”
The sound of riding boots sounded on the ground, and a tall and burly figure appeared in front of Jiang Fu.
"Commander?" Jiang Fu looked at the person who came in confusion, as a battalion commander, in front of the commander of a military region, he really couldn't speak, Jiang Fu had only stood in the queue before, and he had seen the supreme commander of the first military region from a distance, and he didn't see what he looked like.
"Yes, I am Xu Yuan, Jiang Fu, you are an example to all the soldiers of our First Military Region. I have signed the order, you, Jiang Fu, are directly promoted to the commander of the 3rd Division of the Twentieth Army. ”
"Our division commander him?"
"Your division commander has died! The third division is gone, and there is no one but you! Li Mingjun said in a low voice.
Jiang Fu grinned and cried loudly. One division, more than 10,000 men, all of them were lost. (To be continued.) )
