Chapter 833. Annihilated

"Fire!"

The night became more and more intense, but in the mountains, the layers of Shu troops were like ghostly mountain monsters, constantly drilling out, and the shadows in the firelight rushed straight to Wang Hou.

Fortunately, at this time, the light infantry and cavalry of the gunpowder unit of 4,000 people in the rear army were no longer unprepared, and they also chose a gentle mountain to retreat there, and the thick Wei army became a long-range defensive array of firearms, which was not inside the encirclement, and the Shu army was not allowed to redeploy manpower to attack, which happened to be the target of the Wei army.

In front of the military formation, the wood that was hastily cut down and tied together crackled and burned, the firelight illuminated the dark night, and the red-eyed Shu army rushed over on the slope regardless of it, seeing them rush to the middle of the fire, the light infantry commanded the lieutenant general, Jiang Yiqu's grandson Jiang Fugui suddenly roared ugly.

Hundreds of tiger squatting cannons crackled like bursting beans, and at the same time, thousands of double-bow crossbows were also launched densely, and next to the fire, the black shadows of the Shu army snorted as if they had been electrocuted, and their bodies twisted violently unnaturally twice, and then rolled down the mountain, and they were also paralyzed on the ground, turning into a still warm corpse.

However, the Shu army obviously also knew that the hillside guarded by this light infantry was the key to tonight's annihilation battle, although it was hit by artillery fire and crossbow arrows, but in the night, the Shu army was still not afraid of death with a steady stream of wooden shields, and even a few people held up this small wooden sign woven from branches and continued to attack forward.

Originally, the tiger squat cannon was slower to reload than the flintlock gun, even if it was a strong crossbow, the penetration power was not as strong as the firearm, and it was nailed to the wooden shield with a snap, and in the noisy roar, it really made these Shu army Wudang Fei Army brave the artillery fire to rush to the front.

"Kill!"

With a hum, he pulled out the ring head knife, and in the expression of Liaodong Standard, Jiang Fugui personally launched a charge, followed behind him, the soldiers in the front row gave up the tiger squat cannon, and also drew their knives and fought hand-to-hand combat.

Night combat training, the Liangzhou Legion has to train once a night almost every week, in hand-to-hand combat, the elite infantry wearing chain mail and the left arm with a small round shield is obviously a little higher, the rear army, Wang Hou is personal eye, a light infantry of his own side deftly dodged the knife cut down by the Wudang Fei Army barbarians like Mount Tai pressed the top, the sharp ring knife in his hand gently went upward, with a crisp click, the blade cut off the leg tendons of the opponent, and then in his panicked screaming and roaring, The whole person whirled and stumbled into the fire that lit the light.

Immediately afterward, another terrible scream rang out.

For a while, his subordinates were not left behind, but even so, Wang Hou was still worried, his eyes were fixed on the mountain road under his feet, from half an hour ago, the screams and fighting voices had become smaller and smaller, and gradually fell silent, and then the Shu army began to gather troops to attack him.

Although there were still some of his subordinates who fled back from the south from the afternoon to dusk, it was just a drop in the water, and the battlefield was silent, which meant only one thing, that is, the 8,000 subordinates of his former army had been wiped out by Zhuge Liang's organization.

Not to mention the feelings for his troops, just Wang Hou has a crack soldier policy, and every elite commander is trained with almost the same weight of copper coins, which is enough to make Wang Hou's heart tremble, no matter what, his Liangzhou Corps was disabled.

Now Wang Hou really has the urge to slap himself twice, and at the same time learn from Augustus, and yell at himself twice: Bastard! Give me back the legion!

However, in Wang Hou's sour heart and vinegar soaked peanuts, after the battle experienced a collapse like a trough in the afternoon, it gradually turned to the side of the Wei army, and mobilized troops in the night, even Zhuge Liang, did it extremely reluctantly, and could mobilize to attack the Wei army outside the encirclement, the vitality was extremely limited, and in the scorching battlefield, in the mountain road illuminated by the blazing fire, suddenly a particularly rough roar sounded again, and the footsteps were heavy and dense, and another team of Wei troops carried the banner, shouting and rushing to the battlefield.

It was the third mixed brigade of Liaodong that followed the departure of the Liangzhou Corps and had been serving in Guanzhong, and it was also the brigade general Wang Aobai who personally drew his sword and charged.

Even if it is sinicized, it does not hide the fierce character of these Tatar people, especially after undergoing extraordinarily strict training, in terms of combat effectiveness, they far exceed the same nomadic nation Nanzhong barbarians, especially after entering the Liaodong Military Academy for further study, Wang Aobai, who replaced Wei Yan, can really be called a killing machine, roaring and wielding a specially weighted and lengthened ring-headed knife like the Liaodongfeng Mill, the heavy blade, as long as it is hit, even if it is not a flying army, it has to leave an arm and thigh.

With the addition of this new force, highlighting the woodland battlefield, the Shu army that raided the slope was obviously unable to withstand it, leaving behind hundreds of corpses and retreating into the dense forest in a hurry.

The bloodshed of this day can be regarded as gradually disappearing into a calm and dead silence with the retreat of the Shu army.

In the middle of the night in the dense forest, although nearly 10,000 of his subordinates were still left on the battlefield, Wang Hou still sensibly did not order a counterattack, and stationed the remnants of the 4,000 Liangzhou Corps and the 6,000 mixed brigades that followed up on the slopes on the left and right sides.

This night, no one slept well, and in the dense forest in the south, the hustle and bustle of the Shu army lasted until the second half of the night, and then it calmed down, I don't know if Zhuge Liang was satisfied with today's results.

And the next morning, the morning light had just shone clearly on this mountain valley, and the Wei army had once again set foot on the road in a rage.

This time, Wang Hou was much more vigilant, 500 light infantry, and also dispatched some specially trained soldiers with wolf smoke, the current wandering survey on both sides of the road of the army, the first to march ten miles, once encountered the Shu army ambush, immediately ignited the wolf smoke warning rear army.

In the rear, the Liaodong Cavalry Regiment, which had been commanded by Zhao Yun, also followed, and the narrow mountain road could only be arranged in a narrow formation of four people, and the entire army cautiously marched forward again.

Looking at the miserable appearance along the way, Wang Hou's old tears really didn't come down!
