One Thousand One Hundred and Eighty-Five: The Last Battle

When the sky was dark, outside the ancient walled city, there was a faint sound of thunder, and the ground seemed to tremble slightly, for the Tang army, which had rich combat experience, of course, understood that this was a precursor to the attack of the cavalry.

But for them, it doesn't matter much anymore.

People only have one life.

Therefore, the feast was held as usual.

Long bars lined the circular streets, and large pots of various dishes were served, exuding an enticing aroma, and heavily armed soldiers crowded excitedly on either side of the long tables, staring greedily at each delicacies.

Liu Yuan appeared on the roof of a stone house, carrying a large leather bag in his hand.

Inside, it was the liquor that the medical officer carried with him.

At the bottom of the stone house, there were several large vats, which were full of water.

Liu Yuan didn't speak, jumped off the roof, then ripped off the stopper of the leather bag, lifted it upside down, and poured a little wine into each jar.

These vats, to say the least, have hundreds of catties of water, and this little bit of wine is poured in, but I am afraid that I will not even smell the slightest bit of wine, but all the soldiers are still looking at these vats with anticipation.

The soldiers carried the vats through the crowd, spoons in one hand and the so-called liquor in the other.

"Brethren!" Liu Yuan raised the wine bowl high, and shouted with all the strength of his body: "Dry this bowl of wine, eat and drink enough to kill the enemy!" ”

"Eat and drink enough to kill the enemy!" More than 1,000 soldiers raised their wine bowls at the same time and responded to Liu Yuan like thunder.

"!"

Without superfluous words, Liu Yuan tilted his neck, drank all the water in the bowl, slammed the bowl to pieces, and then reached out and pulled a chicken leg on the table, and walked forward while gnawing: "Brothers, eat, eat to your heart's content." ”

The streets suddenly became lively.

The ground trembled louder and louder, and the thunderous sound became a distinct and audible sound of horses' hooves, but the soldiers did not seem to hear half of it, and still ate happily to themselves.

Lu Yuan stopped about two miles away from Guzhai Town, looking at the town that still looked a little hazy, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

The enemy did not break through as he wished, let alone break up, and they chose an outcome that Lu Yuan did not want to see.

Fight a positional battle with your opponent.

The opponent has enough horses, and if they choose to break through, it is of course the most ideal result. In the pursuit of cavalry, these infantry on horseback will become the prey of real cavalry.

Obviously, Liu Yuan, the general of the Tang Army, had a clear understanding of this.

Lu Yuan admired Liu Yuan very much.

Prior to this, although Liu Yuan was also a registered general in the Southern Alliance, compared to Ren Xiaonian and Li Kang, he did not attract much attention from the Southern Alliance, but in this battle, this unknown general made the Hunan army suffer a lot.

A brigade of 10,000 infantry soldiers led by Wei Dongsheng was attacked by Liu Yuan one after another, and finally Wei Dongsheng lost more than half, and he didn't dare to move, so he could only choose to camp and hold on. And Zhou Can's 3,000 cavalry were all wiped out by 3,000 Tang Army foot soldiers, which can be regarded as a goddamn example of creating the most disparity in the battle of infantry and cavalry.

In Lu Yuan's view, these battles commanded by Liu Yuan can be recorded in history and become classic command cases that all generals must learn.

For the last fight of such a general, where will Lu Yuan have the slightest contempt?

After Ji Zhijiang completed the blockade of Liu Yuan, he had already left.

It's not because Ji Zhijiang has any other ideas, but the general situation of the battlefield has changed a little, because Liu Yuan's operation is as fierce as a tiger, which makes Ren Xiaonian and Qin Kuan's department successfully complete the convergence, and further occupy the Tiaoziling military village and obtain a temporary place to settle down. This frustrated the good wishes of the Southern Alliance to divide and annihilate this Tang army in the field. The rest is actually to attack hard.

If they have enough time, they can actually be trapped, but unfortunately, they can't do it.

Now, Yu Xiaowen has arrived in Yichun and is storming the Yichun defenders, and Qian Shouyi is desperately resisting.

On the other hand, Chen Changping, under Shi Zhuang's command, defeated the Hunan army that had hurried there to take over Lu Yuan's garrison at Shuangjiangkou, and had not even gained a firm foothold. What is even more worrying is that this army of right authority did not reverse encircle Yiyang as Xiang Zhen thought before, and strive to completely annihilate the main force of Yiyang Hunan, but like a sharp arrow, it rushed directly towards Changsha.

Anyway, there were too many accidents, so many that Lu Yuan and the others were a little uneasy.

For example, Liu Yuan's operation.

For example, the convergence of Ren Xiaonian and Qin Kuan.

For example, Shi Zhuang was able to resist the temptation of taking Yiyang and annihilating all the core subordinates of Hunan.

Too many accidents come together, which is not a good thing, which means that the Southern Union is not thoughtful in many aspects.

The cold wind came from the direction of Guzhai Town, Lu Yuan sniffled, and from the wind, he smelled a strong fragrance.

At this time, the enemy on the opposite side was still eating.

Lu Yuan laughed self-deprecatingly, did he look down on himself, or did he break the jar?

Most likely, it's more of the latter!

But it's even harder to deal with.

The one who is afraid of the horizontal, and the one who is horizontal is afraid of not dying.

The enemy on the opposite side right now is a group of people who don't want to die!

"Was Wei Dong born?" He asked abruptly as he turned around.

"General Hui, the Wei messenger has arrived, and in about an hour, five thousand people from the Wei Department will arrive in Guzhai Town!" A partial general bowed.

"Good." Lu Yuan nodded: "Send a cavalry to gallop around Guzhai Town, watch, and reconnoiter where there are any flaws that can be exploited?" ”

"General Lu, in a place with a big fart, let's charge one, isn't it over?" The general suggested: "You don't have to wait for Wei Dongsheng to come over at all." ”

Lu Yuan glanced at him with a smile, "Zhou Can must have thought so at the beginning." ”

The general was speechless.

"See this town? It's basically all built of stone, and there is no regularity, it's messy, and the cavalry can run? You run inside, and a few crossbowmen stand on the roof, and you can lose a lot of money. If you crash headlong into a dead alley, people will block it outside, and you will become a turtle in the middle of the war. Cavalry, when will they be able to fight in the streets? ”

Inside the stockade, Liu Yuan watched with some disappointment as Lu Yuan set up a formation, but the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and it seemed that those cavalry were galloping around the town one by one fiercely, but there was not even a single one close to the range of crossbow arrows.

"That's how slippery a dog day is!" Liu Yuan snorted: "Originally, I still wanted to get some cavalry backs, it is not easy for the south to train a cavalry, last time we killed Zhou Can's 3,000 people, it is estimated that Xiang Zhen will have to cry several times, if you kill a thousand people of Lu Yuan, it will be beautiful." ”

"It seems that Lu Yuan will not let his cavalry attack us. He must be waiting for Wei Dongsheng, damn it, a lot of arrangements for cavalry are useless! ”

"No matter who comes with them, we are in this town, let them know what the real elite soldiers of the world are!" Liu Yuan waved his hand, he couldn't ask for it, it was not bad to retreat and take the second, anyway, for them, they had already done more. If you can slaughter one now, the next Tang army will be one point easier.

"Old Wei, I'll give you an hour, and your five thousand people will be pressed on me, and every corner of this town will be filled with our people, and I will drown them with the tactics of a sea of people." The horse whip pointed at Guzhai Town, Lu Yuandao.

Although both of them are Hunan's commanders, their status is very different. Lu Yuan was also unceremonious: "You lost your troops and generals, and you are about to lose the face of our Hunan people, Zhou Can is dead, you are still alive, this is a good opportunity for you to atonement for your crimes, if this battle is not good, you know what the consequences are!" ”

"The last general understands!" Wei Dongsheng's face was red and white for a while. Looking at Guzhai Town, although there was fear in his eyes, he also knew that he really had no way out.

This kind of street fight is the most difficult to fight. In the house-to-house competition, there is basically no other way than to fill it with human lives. But in the previous battles, he had fully appreciated the opponent's equipment and combat skills.

After such a battle, I don't know how many people I can stay.

"Liu Yuan, Cai Kaiming's head is the capital of your merits." Lu Yuan looked at Wei Dongsheng's back and said sharply.

The drums suddenly sounded, the horns were terrible, Lu Yuan's cavalry blocked the west and south directions, and Wei Dongsheng's five thousand foot soldiers surged up from the northeast and east directions.

In the town, Liu Yuan and Cai Kaiming, who saw all this, clenched their fists and touched them vigorously.

"Brother Liu, don't be!"

"Brother Cai, no matter who leaves first, wait on Huangquan Road, let's go together, so as not to be lonely!"

"Hey, I forgot one thing, if your wife gave birth to a girl, you will be my son's daughter-in-law." Cai Kaiming suddenly said.

"Fart, the fat woman must have a son, and they can only be brothers in the future, just like the two of us!" Liu Yuandao.

The two looked at each other, and after a burst of laughter, one to the east and the other to the north.

There are no special tactics and no special arrangements.

The soldiers will block, and the water will flood.

When he saw one, he slaughtered one, and when he saw one, he slew one until he was killed by his enemy.

In the last battle, there is only death.

Drums rumbled outside the town, but the town was silent.

Leaning slightly, where the northeast is connected, the sound of killing suddenly rises.

At this time, Yu Xiaowen's department had arrived in Yichun. What he faced was an iron bucket array of 30,000 troops led by Qian Shouyi in Jiangxi.

Even with a threefold military advantage, Qian Shouyi was still ready to defend it.

Cleaning up Yu Xiaowen, that is the next stage of the matter, now, he wants to grind with Yu Xiaowen in Yichun.
