Chapter 139: The Great War Presents

Hu Twelve put a wooden plank on his head.

It was a very simple shield that he had made himself the night before, when he had nothing to do on his night.

At this moment, he curled up under the battlement, listening to the sound of feather arrows clattering overhead and the rumbling sound of large and small stones falling down, only to feel that his whole body was a little stiff, and his blood seemed to be cold. The other hand held the handle of the knife tightly, and the muscles were exposed, and I felt that I had exerted great strength, but the knife was so heavy that I couldn't lift it.

He had blood on his hands, and he had even killed several people with his own hands.

But this is the first time he has experienced such a battle scene of thousands of people. No matter how bold he is, he still feels hot in his throat at this moment, and a stream of urine keeps coming.

"It's really unproductive." He simply let go of the hand holding the handle of the knife and pinched himself hard, and the sharp pain hit, which made him sober up a lot.

Today, the Zhenwu army finally launched its first large-scale offensive.

From time to time there was the sound of feather arrows falling on the board, and his wrist was a little numb, and he changed his hand to hold the thick wooden shield against it, and shook his left hand vigorously.

There was the sound of teeth fighting in his ears, and when he turned his head to glance, it was a government soldier under him, and his face was pale at the moment. Two hands held the wooden shield rigidly.

"Don't be afraid, that's all. Look, isn't that all right? Hu Twelve comforted in a low voice.

The soldier grinned back at him with an expression that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But then, the face disappeared in front of Hu Twelve's eyes.

A stone the size of a sea bowl that fell from the sky smashed squarely on the wooden shield of the soldier, with a click, the wooden shield was disconnected, and the stone was still unfading, and smashed on his head, Hu Twelve only felt that his face was warm, and he was still alive just now, and he died in front of him with a burst of brains.

Stretched out his hand to wipe his face, sticky, spread out his palm, white and red mixed together, Hu Twelve opened his mouth and retched. If the stone falls on top of your head, you will be the one who dies.

Before he could come back to his senses, a man fell heavily in front of him, and it was a government officer. Unlike the ordinary government army, these officers have experienced great battles, and he was running before and after maintaining order, under such a ferocious attack, the government soldiers above the city were a little confused, and some people turned around and ran away in fear. With knives in one hand and whips in the other, the officers were struggling to drive the men back to their original positions.

At this moment, the man fell at Hu Twelve's feet, his luck was extremely bad, and a feather arrow hit him squarely, facing the sky on his back, his eyes glaring at the boss.

Hu Twelve opened his mouth wide with difficulty, and inhaled hard and desperately, he felt that his lungs were about to explode.

This is the real war!

The rain of feathers, arrows and stones rested for a while, and there was an earth-shaking shout and the sound of golden drums outside, Hu Twelve turned his head reluctantly, and through the wall battlements, he saw the dense Zhenwu soldiers pushing carts and carrying sacks to rush over, throwing these things into the moat, turning their heads and running back.

At this moment, two cavalry teams burst out from the other two gates of Shenzhou City, like two scissors, one left and one right twisted towards these running government soldiers.

Obviously, these cavalrymen have been waiting for a long time, and this is the moment they have been waiting for.

The fast-runners had already left the city walls far away, while the slower-runners were caught up by the cavalry, who had neither armor nor weapons, and were cut down in pieces in pieces in the face of the heavily armed cavalry, powerless to resist.

In the direction of the Zhenwu Army, the Khitan cavalry who were already wandering on the battlefield rushed over with shouts and rushed together, fighting fiercely with the two cavalry out of the city.

Some people were cut off from their horses, some were injured and trampled to death, some people fell off their horses but one foot was hung on the saddle and dragged by the horse on the battlefield and galloped wildly, and the screams were endless.

The two Chengde cavalry who went out of the city did not fight at all, one left and one right staggered, their purpose was to kill and injure these soldiers, and after achieving their goal, they immediately ran to the two wings and prepared to return to the city.

Those who go out from the left enter the city from the right.

Those who go out from the right enter the city from the left.

The two Chengde cavalry disappeared into Hu Twelve's night, and more Zhenwu soldiers reappeared, as before, they still pushed carts and carried sacks, but this time, the Khitan cavalry on both wings was a little more numerous.

What made Hu Twelve almost unbelieve his eyes was that these Zhenwu soldiers actually dragged up the bodies of those companions who had just been killed by the Chengde cavalry in front of the city and threw them into the moat.

By the time this group of Zhenwu soldiers retreated, the battlefield was actually clean, and not a single dead body remained, because those corpses had now become part of the moat.

Hu Twelve noticed that yesterday's majestic Chengde wolf cavalry that killed the Zhenwu army in all directions did not appear today.

For a whole morning, the scene was repeated over and over again, except from one section of the wall to another. By noon, a moat about 100 zhang long had been basically filled.

The Zhenwu soldiers slowly retreated, re-opening the gap between them and the city, and a large number of Khitan cavalry filled this empty area, guarding against the Chengde army suddenly going out of the city and charging into battle.

Above the city, the soldiers brought baskets of snow-white steamed buns, and buckets of thick oily broth floated there. The soldiers munched on the white steamed buns in deep silence while gulping down the broth.

The usual food is naturally far inferior to today's, but everyone also understands that being able to eat such food actually means how hard the next battle will be, and maybe after eating this meal, there will be no next.

Hu Twelve or Three finished nibbling on two steamed buns, drank the broth, and then stood up and stared at the Zhenwu Army in the distance. Different from ordinary soldiers, he is a person who has received special training in the secret camp, but at a glance, he found that there are several different generals in the Zhenwu Army, which means that the Zhenwu Army has another reinforcement arrived last night.

Things are going to be bad in the Deep State right now. Because of the existence of a large number of Khitan cavalry, Shenzhou no longer sends scouts out, and if they are sent out, they will only become the prey of these Khitan cavalry.

But in this way, the connection between Shenzhou City and the outside world has been completely cut off, and now what kind of situation Yizhou, Zhaozhou, and Zhenzhou is, Shenzhou City knows nothing.

Fortunately, because of Liang Han's early return, Li Anguo was able to warn Yizhou Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou in advance, which was finally a blessing in misfortune.

In this battle, the Deep State is afraid that it will have to hold out independently for a long time before it can be supported by other states.

Now that the Deep State can't count on reinforcements, and the enemy's reinforcements are arriving in a steady stream, it's not a good situation no matter how you look at it!

After watching Hu Twelve for a while, he sat down again and began to close his eyes to rest, he is the person who has passed the matter, and he accepts such a scene much faster than other government soldiers, and he knows more than those government soldiers.

I am afraid that these battles this morning are still just children, and the real big battle will start in the afternoon. If you want to climb up step by step, you have to survive, and if you want to survive, you have to kill the enemy in front of you, and to kill the enemy in front of you, you must first have abundant physical strength and sharp reactions.

Those guys around me who are still rolling their eyes until this moment, are not keeping their minds, and drink broth leaking from the corners of their mouths, there is no need to persuade them, because it is useless to persuade them. When the enemy arrived, they swung their swords at each other, and everything fell into place.

He reached out and pinched the pile of arrows under his feet, which he had found from all over the place after the morning's attack, and he might be able to use them at any time!

Hu Twelve slept soundly and snored loudly, but he didn't know that Du Teng was passing by him at this moment, and seeing this little head of the government soldiers who was sleeping so calmly and sweetly when the big war was about to happen, Du Teng couldn't help but stop and look at him very carefully. Then he said to a soldier beside him: "If this kid doesn't die today, he will be promoted to the commander of the tun tomorrow!" ”

The armor snorted, remembered Hu Twelve's appearance, asked his name clearly, and hurriedly left with Du Teng.

In the lobby of the Thorn Mansion, Li Anguo's face was heavy. The latest news from Hejian Province has finally returned. Several armor soldiers who were lucky enough to break through from the battlefield of Hejian Mansion made a big circle and fled back to Shenzhou with great difficulty.

The whereabouts of Major General Li Che are unknown.

Adjutant General Wang Mingren was captured.

Adjutant General Li Bo was captured.

4,000 armor soldiers, 30,000 government soldiers, and the whole army was destroyed.

This was the final result of the First Battle of Hejian Province.

Even though he had planned for the worst, he always had a little luck in his heart, but when this little luck was finally shattered, everyone's mood was extremely lost.

"Marshal, at this moment, there is no news of the major general, it is the best news. The major general should have broken through, and the biggest possibility is to go in the direction of Henghai Liu Chenglin, as long as he goes to which side, his safety will be guaranteed. You Yong comforted.

"That being said, Akihito and Li Bo were captured, and I am afraid that the enemy will use them to threaten us." Li Anguo's mood was extremely heavy. Li Bo is his nephew, and Wang Mingren is Cao Xin's most valued nephew, these two important figures fell into the hands of the enemy, and the blow to morale is probably not ordinary.

"Li Tingshi and Cao Tingshi are all people who follow the festival to come and go in the wind and rain, and they will not be defeated by such setbacks. They are all frustrated and motivated. You Yong said in a deep voice.

"But we're all old!" Li Anguo sighed.
