Xiang Shenkang stared at the only remaining hundred or so remnants of the veterans around him, his eyes were a little sad, guarding the small Xinhui City, facing the enemy army ten times his size, he defended it for three whole days, causing several times the enemy's casualties, he felt that it was worth it.
The bed crossbow was gone, the arm crossbow arrows were gone, the stones were gone, the wood was gone, and now the soldiers had only spears and steel knives left in their hands.
Xiang Shenkang raised his head, watched the ladders from all directions and set up the city, watched the enemy climb up like ants, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and raised the bloody steel knife, "Brothers, destroy the bed crossbow, open the crossbow, and then pick up your knives and guns for the final battle!" There are brothers like you in this life, let's be brothers again."
The remaining bed crossbow was pushed down from the city, the steel knife was waved, and a handle arm was broken into two, and more than a hundred veterans regathered to Xiang Shenkang's side, Xiang Shenkang strode forward, walked to the front of the team, looked at the Qi army that was swarming into the city, and roared, "Brothers, kill, we have enough capital, kill one and earn one!" "
"Kill! More than a hundred people roared angrily, and followed closely to Xiang Shenkang, killing the enemy who climbed up to the top of the city.
An hour later, Tian Jingwen's combat boots stepped on the dilapidated Xinhui City, looking around, the city was full of corpses, the city was bleeding and drifting, almost let him have no clean place to stay, the tenacity of the Eastern Army was not only unexpected by him, he paid the price of more than 3,000 dead and wounded here, and finally took this inconspicuous small city.
"This must be the most elite unit of the Eastern Army! He muttered to himself in the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for that, but he couldn't mention it, because he knew very well that the Eastern Army was the most capable of fighting. Now they are all in Liaodong and are making a final attack on Donghu.
This fact, which he didn't dare to face, made his whole body tremble a little, but there were only more than a thousand people, if there were three thousand, five thousand people. 10,000 people, what will happen to that? The Qilu Qiang Army, which he was once proud of, is moaning and trembling in front of the Eastern Army today.
Xiang Shenkang's body was brought to Tian Jingwen by several Qi soldiers. Xiang Shenkang's eyes were still wide open, and Tian Jingwen felt that there was smugness and contempt in those eyes.
"General, hang the corpse of this bastard on the city wall, so that our brother can breathe well." Beside him, the enemy general, who only had more than 100 remnants left, led the final decisive attack, and in the case of being besieged on all sides, the Qi army still paid the same casualties as the enemy before finally killing them one by one. The Qi army also had red eyes, on the city wall, but all the wounded soldiers who had not died. All of them have been mended.
Tian Jingwen looked at the opponent in front of him, once upon a time, he didn't regard the low-level officer of the Eastern Army in front of him as an opponent at all, but now, he had to admit it. It was he who fought the hardest and the most tragic. The battle with the most severe losses.
He shook his head slowly, though they were enemies. However, a heroic and unyielding enemy is worthy of respect, looking at Xiang Shenkang, he can't help but think of the clan brother who died in the Hetao, from the last information, the clan brother also launched a decisive attack on the enemy at the last moment.
"If a person dies greatly, bury it, bury the Eastern Army here with him, and set up a monument." Tian Jingwen said a little lonely, "If there are still wounded soldiers in the city, don't kill them, disarm them, and let them fend for themselves!" "
As soon as the words fell, a house in the city suddenly burst into flames, accompanied by the raging fire was a military song that went straight to the clouds, Tian Jingwen was shocked, rushed to the edge of the city wall, put his hand on his eyes, and looked there.
"What's going on? ".
A moment later, an officer hurried up to the top of the city.
"General Tian, in that house, there are hundreds of wounded soldiers of the Eastern Army, they poured grease on the house, piled firewood and grass, lured some soldiers of our department to rush in, lit a fire, blocked the door, and dozens of our soldiers were also trapped inside." The officer's expression was full of horror, and his voice trembled a little.
Tian Jingwen's fists were clenched tightly, and suddenly, he felt that maybe Fu's decision to take down Langya was wrong, perhaps, Qi Guo provoked a mad dog, and a mad dog that could not be provoked even if he died.
The long sword is directed to the northern territory;
The remnant sun is like blood, flowing on the journey south;
Banner hunting, summoning the war drums of the eastward;
The yellow sand is long, and it can't stop the footsteps of the westward expedition.
The voice of the military song gradually became quieter in the burning fire, and all the soldiers were silent, in this battle, more than 1,000 enemies, none of them were captured, and all of them were killed in battle, which was the first time they encountered it in their military career.
"Clean up the battlefield, clean up the city, and prepare for the arrival of the main force." Tian Jingwen whispered to the officers beside him, "I'm tired and want to rest."
With heavy steps, he walked towards the city, his feet in a pool of blood all over the ground, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
In the battle of Xinhui, although the Qi army won the final victory, the last high-spirited battle song was like layers of heavy haze, lingering in their minds.
In the entire Xinhui City, there was no joy after the victory, but an indescribable depression.
Huang Zhan exhausted and pulled out his feet from the thin mud that did not reach his ankles, compared to ordinary soldiers, he was more tired, not only had to rush with ordinary soldiers, but also had to worry about the follow-up of logistics and baggage, worried about the battle situation ahead, not only physically tired, but also tired, Xiang Shenkang was born in his father Huang Desheng's personal guard, and was later sent to his side by Huang Desheng, and he was not only a subordinate relationship, but also a brother who was closer than his relatives.
"Hold on, Yasuko." he whispered silently in his heart.
There was a heavy rain the day before, and the whole road became muddy, unlike Liaoxi, Hejian, Jishi, these areas under the jurisdiction of Zhengdong Mansion, after being included in the Zhengdong Mansion, the most important thing is to build roads, water conservancy, although Langya is rich, but these most basic facilities, far less than Liaoxi and other places, a heavy rain, so that Huang Zhan and his army fell into a predicament, in order to reduce the weight of the carriage, the soldiers had to get off the car and walk, and at the same time had to push the car out after the wheel fell into the mud, the degree of the troops' advance, which has been a lot slower.
"Thief God! Huang Zhan looked up to the sky and scolded bitterly, this heavy rain was enough to make Xiang Shenkang fall into a life and death crisis.
"Teacher, you must let the brothers rest for a few hours." The head of the regiment, Xie Zongjie, walked up to Huang Zhan in muddy water, "Many brothers are already tired and paralyzed, so they are going to Xinhui."
Huang Zhan looked at the queue that had been stretched into a long queue at this time, and then looked up at the gloomy weather, and said helplessly: "Send the order to go down, camp on the spot, rest, we are less than fifty miles away from Xinhui, rest all night today, tell the brothers, tomorrow, we will arrive in Xinhui."
"Got it!"
The order was quickly passed on, and there were bursts of cheers from the ranks, and the actions of the past few days were simply more painful for them than fighting.
"Commander, can the new club still withstand it?" Xie Zongjie stretched out his hand to wipe the mud from his face, not without worry.
"I believe Kangzi, there has been no bad news from the scouts, which means that the Xinhui is still fighting." Huang Zhan was not at all sure in his heart, the intelligence from the Supervision Yuan showed that this time the troops raided Langya, there were tens of thousands of vanguard troops alone, and the main force behind was more than 50,000, which was a mouthful of spittle, and Xinhui was also submerged.
"I hope so!" Xie Zongjie's heart is also up and down." Division commander, we have too few troops!"
Huang Zhan rolled his eyes, "Lao Tzu knows, this still needs you to remind, but now you let the upper head go where to pull another army out, Langya County is the top priority, Ding Wei is desperately rushing to Langya, our task is to delay as much time as possible, as long as Ding Wei can enter Langya in time, we can hold out longer, Donghu people can't last long, and when our army comes back from Donghu Banshi, we can make them look good!" Go, come with me to see the soldiers, they're just tired and tired."
The soldiers were not only so tired that they set up camp, pulled up the tents, and set up defenses, many of the soldiers did not even enter the big tents, and fell directly into the mud, and then fell asleep.
"This won't work, wake them up, make a fire, dry the clothes, boil hot water for the men, and everyone will dry me before I go to sleep!" Along the way, Huang Zhan didn't know how many such soldiers he had woken up, and some of them really couldn't wake up, so he simply dragged them directly into the big tent and threw them inside like dead dogs.
"After all, there are more recruits, and the high-intensity training is still not enough, Xie Zongjie, this article must be written in the military log, and when we win this battle, we must conduct more extreme training when we train."
"Got it!" Xie Zongjie said loudly. (To be continued)
