Chapter 132: Three Forks (7)
The spears of the phalanx pressed forward step by step, and the musculature, which was originally quite fluffy, became tighter and stronger under the pressure of the camp and the phalanx.
Chen Kai has already shown all the killer features, the narrow road is not conducive to the deployment of troops, although there is a lot of benefit to a side like him who is at a disadvantage, but it is also inevitable to curb his offensive ability. But Wang Zhigang, who is a cake, can't control this at all, his vanguard has already engaged Lu Ruoji in battle, Chen Kai knows that the troops behind the palace want to retreat while attacking, which is even more dangerous, so he simply let Lin Dezhong continue to press forward with his handsome banner, while he changed to the back to assist Lu Ruoji in defense.
Lupine scarf, talking and laughing, the canopy is gone. The preconceived impression was like this, and Chen Kai's arrival really boosted the morale of the troops behind the palace. However, Wang Zhigang seemed to have realized that what Chen Kai was holding was just a small army that came from nowhere, and he was just bluffing here, and the fierceness of the attack here had already made these volunteers a little unbearable.
"The rear team stopped advancing, right here, this official and you and the others will hold this place and buy time for the fellow villagers and robes behind them!"
will be brave to the army, Chen Kai, as a civil official, still dares to defend this place with them, and the volunteers are all demoralized. The Qing army's offensive was still fierce, but in the face of such a defensive formation, it would only be wishful thinking to advance quickly.
The road is narrow, the offensive is contained, for Wang Bangjun earlier, Chen Kai and Wang Zhigang at this moment are treated equally, the time and place are all God's magic, Chen Kai chose a suitable time to insert, what is needed now is to hold on as much as possible, and buy time for the phalanx and Zhongchong Town to encircle and annihilate Wang Bangjun's department.
However, southern Fujian is hot, and even in this October day, there is rarely armor. Not to mention, the volunteers had no armor to defend themselves, and the Qing army threw them, and the arrows that fell were more effective than spears, swords and shields for the volunteers. With only the troops behind the palace of more than 100 people, soon, the killing and wounding caused by the stray arrows brought out one after another arrow wounds, and even more righteous and brave were even directly hit by the arrows.
The casualties gradually increased, and it was the first time that the volunteers faced such a tragic battle, and the courage brought by Chen Kai fighting side by side with them gradually began to dissipate.
The morale of the army took a sharp turn in the face of casualties, but fortunately, many Qing troops were killed, and the corpses piled up on the road, which had already hindered the offensive of the Qing army. The Qing army was forced to slow down its offensive in order to clean up the corpses and wounded soldiers in anticipation of another battle. At this time, Chen Kai also took advantage of this short break to readjust the array of volunteers with Lu Ruoji.
At this moment, the front of the attack and the rear of the defense had been distanced, and Lin Dezhong led his troops to storm Wang Bangjun's green camp, while Wang Bangjun was obviously still trapped in the fog.
The shouts of killing gradually spread to the main battlefield of the camp, and the offensive of the Qing army was inevitable. Like Wang Bangjun, Ke Chenshu doesn't know anything about it, but it is a great opportunity for the Qing army, especially for those of them who have fallen into death and are about to be wiped out.
"Reinforcements have arrived, soldiers, kill them and join the country's surname!"
Ke Chenshu shouted loudly, and suddenly the Qing army in the village was also frightened, and the morale of the Ming army in the village was greatly boosted, and even the Qing army in panic launched a counterattack.
Desperately fighting to the death and the arrival of reinforcements, the soldiers of Zhongchong Town went crazy attacking the Qing troops whose morale was sharply depressed because they realized that they were surrounded, and only a moment later, under the leadership of Ke Chenshu, most of the Qing troops who had entered the village were driven out again.
"Keep pursuing, never stop!"
Ke Chenshu knows very well that morale can not be exhausted, the more he gets to this point, the more he has to attack desperately, because there is only one way to survive, that is, to join the reinforcements, otherwise once they are caught and killed in this camp by Wang Bangjun and Hao Wenxing, not only them, but even the reinforcements will be wiped out because of this.
Lin Dezhong's struggle to move forward, Ke Chenshu's decisive counterattack, Wang Bangjun's troops were constantly compressed and reduced. At this moment, the number of troops and horses under Wang Bangjun's command is superior to that of the Ming army, but in such an unexpandable terrain, no matter how great the advantage of troops is, it is just a sausage, and it will not take long to be gnawed clean by the opponent from both ends.
The offensive and defensive situation was different, and Wang Bangjun, who was about to fall into the palm of his hand, fell into the siege. However, whether Ke Chenmei can annihilate his troops before the Qing army breaks through on the back side of the camp and the mountain road guarded by Chen Kai is not as simple as fighting with blood and bravery, but more importantly, it is the resilience of stubborn defense.
Ke Chenmei's place has been attacked for a longer time, but the disadvantage of the troops is smaller, and there is a wall as a support, but it is more stable, and now the morale is greatly boosted, and the gap is also blocked again. On the contrary, it was Chen Kai's side, relying on the phalanx, fighting with flesh and blood, with the end of the short rest, a new round of offensive of the Qing army was launched, and the new casualties soon forced the volunteers to the zero point of collapse.
"Join the army, the arrows have run out, we can't hold it."
The eldest brother of the Wan family was already in tears, and one of their sworn brothers had just died of his injuries, and he was already in tears at this moment.
"Smack!"
couldn't hold it, such words were heard in Chen Kai's ears, but he slapped this person in the face with a backhand, and then pointed at his nose and shouted: "You guy, you don't want to take revenge, but you mess with our army's heart, that is, you don't follow military law, do you think you are worthy of your dead brother like this?!" ”
When the old man heard this, he stayed on the spot, and then he shouted violently, lifted the sword and shield and made up for the formation. Chen Kai no longer paid attention to him, and immediately shouted to the volunteers who were still fighting bloodily: "The brothers of the front team have seen the handsome banner of Wang Bangjun, the commander of Zhangzhou, and if you hold on, you can slaughter that guy." Sons, don't be under Jiuquan and still be pointed at by the neighbors and scolded you as a group of cowards! ”
"We're not cowards, we're not!"
The Swiss phalanx relied to maintain the will to fight to a large extent because of the relationship between fellow villagers, and even the Hunan and Huai armies in later generations. The vast majority of the volunteers of Changlin Temple are from the township party of Zhao'an Erdu, and they can persist so far, and there are many bloody warriors who fight side by side with their fellow villagers and neighbors. Now that Chen Kai is moved by nostalgia, they have summoned the most essential emotions, transformed these feelings into courage, and continued to fight bravely.
In the shouting of killing, the spear pierced directly at the same time as pushing time, the volunteers fought bravely, even Cai Qiao and other guards and soldiers sent by Zheng Chenggong to protect Chen Kai also threw themselves into the battle array, and Chen Kai also stood in the battle array like a witness of their courage, without the slightest wavering.
Facing the jungle of spears blocked at the entrance of the mountain road, the Qing army under Wang Zhigang gradually fell into decline in the face of the courage of the volunteers to fight bloodily. Next, Lin Dezhong rushed down the mountain with a head.
"The captival Wang Bangjun is dead, Wang Bangjun is dead!"
