Volume 4 Bohai Eagle Yang Chapter 44 The Battle for Morale
A few miles away from the battlefield, the leaders of the four Karasuma tribes were riding side by side, watching the battle in the distance. Beside them, there was still a cold-looking Han general, frowning as if he was a little uneasy.
"General Mitian seems to have a big heart?" Qiu Liju smiled and turned his head sideways: "Could it be that you are worried about this battle?" ”
The Han general was Zhang Chun, the rebel general of the Han army who was the former Zhongshan Taishou and now called himself General Mitian, he forced a laugh and said slowly: "Don't you think it's strange to the kings? According to the scout report, this army that suddenly appeared was suspected to be the Han army, but they were all black helmets and black armor, and they also hooked up with the Huns........ ”
"Who does he care?" Nanlou was a little absent-minded and said: "As long as they block our way, they only have a dead end!" ”
"If they don't have strong strength, they will definitely not dare to do this to bring about their own destruction!" Zhang Chun's mocking eyes swept over the Nanlou: "A day ago, they defeated the five hundred cavalry of the Nanlou in an instant, should this cause us to pay enough attention?" ”
"You!" Nanlou's color changed, he looked at the expressions of Qiu Liju and a few people, and finally forcibly pressed it down, and said angrily: "These Han dogs are relying on a large number of people, and they are suddenly attacked, and my soldiers and horses will be defeated!" ”
In addition to Nanlou, the other three Karasuma adults all value Zhang Chun very much, and even put forward the intention of jointly promoting him as the commander of Karasuma's various departments, and Zhang Chun's soldiers are strong, and he is a famous general with both civil and military skills, even Nanlou has to sell his face.
"It turns out that they are relying on the number of people and the strength of the ......" Zhang Chun's face suddenly sank: "Lord Nanlou, I was about to ask you for advice." You have always been in charge of the perimeter guard of the Upper Valley Battalion, and with such a huge army quietly under our noses, should you give this general an explanation? ”
"Ben will be ordered to come here to meet the teacher, and he is planning a big thing!" He glared fiercely at the pale-faced Nanlou: "I didn't accompany you to the funeral!" ”
......Although Nanlou was full of annoyance, he was also speechless by Zhang Chun's words. Although he and Zhang Chun's two armies guarded the camp together, Zhang Chun's headquarters was stationed here for less than ten days, and his duties were only the internal defense of the camp. In the matter of poor defense on the periphery, it is indeed difficult to escape the blame.
"General Mitian is too worried, right?" Su Muyan opened his mouth in time to relieve the siege and said: "Although this Han army came strangely, after all, there are only three or two thousand people. Their union with the Huns is also only our preliminary judgment...... Who can guarantee that there will be no dirt between them? Maybe the Huns will soon be gone, and then we can easily open the way, and we can take advantage of the situation to chase down the two Yufloro brothers, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone! ”
Hearing what Su Fuyan said, Qiu Liju and Wu Yan also nodded. In the territory of Youzhou, except for Liu Yu, who was the assassin of Youzhou and is now Zongzheng, and Lu Zhi, the rebellious general, they never took anyone in their eyes, including Gongsun Zhan, who once fought with Zhang Chun for power and profit on the Northwest Front.
Although this Han army is a little elusive now, after all, it is only a small force, maybe it is still a straggler who has been scattered somewhere, even if it is added to the thousands of lost dogs brought by the Yufuluo brothers, how big a wave can it make?
"I hope it's just as King Crag said!" Zhang Chun's indifferent gaze swept over several Karasuma-sama, and he bowed his head slightly: "I believe that the tentative forward attack sent by our army is coming to an end, just wait for them to give back the news, and everything will be clear at that time!" ”
"Kill!" The originally tightly knit Han army chariot array suddenly cracked several passages, and the Han cavalry wrapped in pitch-black armor surged out of the cracks like a ghost army, mercilessly killing the Karasuma people who were in chaos outside the formation.
Most of the countless pits that were dotted with horses for horses to step into had been trampled by the Karasuma people, and it was difficult to pose a threat to the Han cavalry. The Han cavalry, supported by their horses, displayed superb cavalry and archery far superior to that of the Karasuma cavalry.
At a distance of more than 100 steps, the Han army could send out two consecutive waves of arrow rain, which made all the Karasuma people almost crushed on the spot, both physically and mentally.
After the dozens of arrows sent out sparsely bounced weakly on the black leather armor of the Han soldiers, the Han soldiers had already carried their bows and shoulders, and all of them rushed into the enemy formation with two swords.
Under the reflection of the sunlight, the surrounding vision suddenly brightened a little, which was the reflection caused by the countless snow-bright long knives when they swung wildly. A terrifying mist of blood gradually spread.
The sound of fighting and screaming was strangely lowered, and both the Karasuma people who were being tortured and killed, and the recruits of the Red Eagle Battalion and the Red Kite Battalion who were watching the battle in the formation opened their mouths in horror, but it was difficult to speak. The feeling of fear, like a large, invisible hand, blocked their voices in their throats. Only the mortal and dying enemy soldiers were still howling helplessly.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei contracted their pupils at the same time, and their fists were clenched. Ren had already had a very high estimate of the undefeated reputation of General Takayo Zhonglang, but they never dreamed that at least 1,500 brave Karasuma cavalry would be defeated with a single blow.
Sun Ce's face flashed with an extremely excited flush, and he suddenly remembered what his father had said to him: Any general who fights against Ying Yang Zhonglang on the battlefield will be like being in a nightmare...... Luckily, this man is my brother!
The low, mournful screams gradually subsided, and the Karasuma people finally retreated in a hurry after more than half of the casualties. Thanks to this narrow road, the Han army was unable to pursue it by stepping on their horses and the tall corpses piled up by the enemy.
The shrill sound of the horn sent out three long and two short signals, and the Han cavalry turned their horses' heads one after another, and they didn't bother to make up for the enemy soldiers who were not dead on the ground, but trampled back and forth, and trampled those enemy troops who were still rolling under the horses mercilessly...... While accomplishing this task, they also carried on the good tradition of the general, and easily brought back the enemy horses that had lost their masters.
"Wow" looked at the veterans covered in blood and minced flesh galloping by, and a female soldier from the Red Kite Battalion finally came to her senses, bent down again and began to vomit. This sentiment spread like a plague, and soon more than half of the male and female recruits of the Red Eagle and Red Kite camps bent down and weptly contributed to the meal they had just consumed.
The veterans began to ridicule without incident.
"As a soldier, it's a shame to waste food! Beware of the military judge coming to hit your board! ”
"Little sister! Quietly tell you a sentence: The general said, spit and spit and get used to it! ”
"Fuck you! Where to vomit? Lao Tzu's leather armor hasn't been stained with blood yet, so I'll spoil it for your kid first! ”
"That girl eats a lot!"
"How do you know? How much do you see people eating? ”
"Not really, but she's already vomited for the second time, and there's so much more!"
“…… Fuck off! ”
In any case, after these veterans who have been tempered by the war for a long time, the state of the recruits has improved to a certain extent...... Even these veterans, who are now indifferent to death, have grown up vomiting again and again, and they know the cure for these recruits.
"General!" Jiang Huan walked steadily towards Nanying, his expression did not fluctuate in the slightest, if it weren't for the fact that there were still dots of blood on his face, it would be impossible for anyone to see that he had just commanded a violent raid: "We have nine brothers killed in battle, and more than twenty wounded, but it's all right!" Although the last general did not count accurately, the number of enemy troops killed was at least 700 or more! ”
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Sun Ce exhaled the long mouthful of rough breath in their chests at the same time. Destroy 700 enemies, but your own side will only suffer 30 casualties? According to this battle loss ratio, it seems that 50,000 enemy troops are simply not enough to kill!
"Well done!" Nan Ying smiled and nodded, he looked at Sun Ce, who was full of eagerness, shook his head and said, "Don't be complacent!" The enemy army launched a tentative attack, in other words, these enemy troops were simply here to die...... In the following battle, we will not have such a cheap choice, at least they have relied on the lives of hundreds of people to fill the trap that Gao Feng has dug for half a day! ”
"But the General!" Sun Ce hesitated a little and said, "Since we know that these enemy troops are here to send them to death, why do we still have to go out to make a surprise attack?" If we continue to rain arrows, we will be able to defeat them without any damage! ”
"Silly kids say stupid things!" Nan Ying patted his iron helmet lightly, and said a little gloomily: "How can you not die in a war?" What's more, it's still such a battle of disparity between the enemy's strength and my weakness! In fact, even Ben was ready to die before every battle...... The fate of the warrior is to fall on the way to the charge! As for this raid, half of it was supposed to be for them......"
As he spoke, he pointed to the recruits who were gradually recovering in the distance, and at the same time quietly nodded to the high ground on both sides.
"I see!" Sun Ce's expression moved, and he finally understood. Returning an exciting head-on victory with very few sacrifices can not only boost the morale of the recruits and make them adapt to the atmosphere of war as soon as possible, but also stabilize the Huns and give them the fighting spirit to win this battle.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also looked slightly moved when they heard this, showing their respect for Nanying for the first time. A general who must bow down in battle and die is a general worthy of the death of all soldiers!
"We are facing a battle that seems impossible to win!" Nanying seemed to be talking to himself, word by word, but clearly into everyone's ears: "It's like recovering a game of chess that is about to be lost, every move is lost, leaving us with limited time to consider, but we must not miss any move!" Therefore, this first step of the morale battle, we must win! ”
"So, what about the second step?" Sun Ce was convinced when he heard this, and couldn't help blurting out.
"Step two?" Nan Ying pointed around with a smile, and the Black Eagle banners were rising high one after another: "Ben will already do it!" ”
"What does that mean?" Sun Ce was stunned.
"You'll understand... Order your brothers, follow the usual combat procedures and prepare all your equipment! Nan Ying waved his hand lightly and said, "Next, we have to open the eyes of the enemy!" ”
