Hou Fangyu sat in the ditch, clinging to the ditch wall, his left hand hanging weakly on one side, his right hand holding a spear tightly, in a battle just now, he collided head-on with a Liang officer holding a shield and a knife in the other, the result was that although he killed his opponent, the cost was that his left arm was smashed by the guy's shield.

The soldiers around him carefully untied his arm armor for him, and gently pinched the wound, and bursts of severe pain came, making his eyes a little black.

"General, it's broken!"

"And you want to say, I don't know it's broken?" Hou Fangyu rolled his eyes angrily: "Tie it up!" ”

"Gotta be fixed." Pro-soldier road.

"Fixed a fart? Wrap it around it a few times, and then tie it to your belt, so that you don't have to cut it off later, and it will be inconvenient to swing it on the side! Hou Fangyu glanced at him.

"Gotcha!" The pro-soldier didn't talk nonsense, took out a roll of gauze from a pocket on his waist, wrapped it around Hou Fangyu's right arm, and then passed through the other party's waist armor bundle, tying the broken arm and waist armor together. The technique was a little rude, and the pain made Fang Yu gasp slightly. "Anyway, you have already gotten married, even if you don't have this left arm in the future, you won't have to worry about finding a daughter-in-law."

"Phew!" Knowing that the other party was telling jokes to distract himself, Hou Fangyu couldn't help but smack the other party, "This little injury is a fart, Lao Tzu's left arm still has to hold the beauty?" When the time comes, if there is only one right arm left, it will be too inconvenient. ”

The soldiers burst out laughing, as did some of the soldiers around them.

"When this battle is over and when you rest, I'll take you to have fun, Lao Tzu has a treat!" Hou Fangyu is heroic and authentic. "Lao Tzu packs a yard, as long as you are not afraid of your wife, you can go."

"General, the money you asked for is gone. Are we afraid of our wives here? The soldier raised his voice and asked.

"Don't be afraid!" In this area, there was a loud sound of response, but if you carefully distinguish it, you can hear that there are many people who are a little lacking in confidence.

Hou Fangyu's family is rich, as long as he makes a wish, everyone knows that he is fully capable of fulfilling his promise, and for a while, everyone is excited, and those who have had such an experience began to excitedly describe it to their comrades-in-arms on the side, and the scene that was a little dull just now became active again.

Looking at the obscene appearance of the soldiers under his command, Hou Fangyu smiled knowingly.

After many years of military career, this former noble son has long been reborn, and when he returns home, he can fight against those literati and ink writers, and when he arrives in the barracks, he can also fart and brag with these rough men.

This battle is completely different from previous battles.

This time, Hou Fangyu truly realized how close death was to him, and it seemed that every moment, King Yama was waving to him affectionately.

The importance of this battle may not be entirely clear to the soldiers, but as a high-ranking general, Hou Fangyu understands. As long as this battle is won, the entire land of Henan will undoubtedly fall into the hands of the Tang army, and it is only a matter of time before Henan is lost and Luoyang Chang'an is taken.

They understand, and so does the pseudo-beam.

So in this battle, the other party had to fight hard. Therefore, they not only mobilized all the elite forces in the Henan region, but also transferred Xu Chong's troops from Luoyang and other places to support.

This battle, for the Liang army, was a battle with no way out.

Cao Xuan's extreme ferocity also shows from another aspect that the current pseudo-Liang is indeed about to run out of water.

It's always darkest before dawn. At this time, Hou Fangyu fully realized what Li Ze said, and after passing this hurdle, there was a bright future. If you can't carry it, you'll die before dawn...... Uh, phew! You will never die!

Outside, the sound of dense horses' hooves sounded, and Hou Fangyu poked out half of his head, and in front of the area he defended, hundreds of war horses were galloping towards him.

you! Hou Fangyu cursed in his heart and roared loudly: "Prepare to fight!" ”

With his roar, Tang Jun, who was originally lying or sitting, suddenly came to life.

With a whoosh, a strong crossbow shot out crossbow arrows with a whistling sound, and the first two war horses fell to the ground with a bang, and the crossbowmen did not have time to put crossbow arrows on the strong crossbow, and the surging war horses came roaring, and the soldiers lifted their horizontal knives, rolled on the spot, and landed in the trench behind them.

The second line of defense is completely different from the first.

It's no longer a line of defense, it's piece by piece. There were breastworks that looked haphazardly built, piles of stones, and trenches that had been dug up. On top of the second line of defense, the Tang Army was a simulated feeling of street fighting. You never know when you're going to feel an army from your side, or if you're going to feel behind you.

There was the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground, and when Fang Yu looked up, he saw a huge black shadow leaping overhead, and without thinking, the spear in his hand suddenly stabbed out.

With a bang, the spear pierced the soft belly of the war horse, and Hou Fangyu was also dragged forward and rushed out, although he let go in time, he still couldn't help but hit the other side of the trench fiercely, eating a mouthful of dirt, his nose was also broken, and blood gushed out at once.

The horse that had been stabbed in the stomach had just hit the ground and fell to the ground, and before the knight could stand up, a few spears reached out and killed him once and for all.

On top of the second line of defense, Li Rui's idea is very simple, that is, to disrupt the entire battlefield, so that all the fighters are caught in a chaotic battle, and in this chaos, the Tang army can take advantage of the familiarity with the position, take advantage of the Tang army's equipment, and use the cooperation between the small units of the Tang army to cause a large number of casualties to the enemy.

At this stage, Liang Jun must also be the best of the best.

Cao Xuan used regimental training in the first stage to consume a large number of long-range weapons, lethal weapons and physical strength of the Tang Army, and in the second stage, it was definitely necessary to concentrate the vital forces for impact, Li Rui would not show the carriage and horses and then fight hard with the other party, at this time, the combat effectiveness of the two sides has almost stood on the same line. Of course, he had to think of something to give his soldiers a slight advantage.

Except for the last three thousand elites around him, all the soldiers and horses, including the young and strong, Li Rui has all been put into battle, he is stuck behind the third line of defense, and the three thousand reserves are divided into three groups, taking turns to attack and assist those who encounter great danger.

Li Rui felt that the second line of defense could hold out until before dark.

And at that time, whether the cavalry on the left flank or the right flank should have completely ended the battle. However, he did not hope that the cavalry on the left and right flanks would come back, even if they won, but after a whole day of fierce fighting, their horses would not be able to run, and their soldiers would be tired and paralyzed.

Now, he was thinking about Li De's rangers, and it was time to go to that place.

Cao Xuan had lost his earlier calm at the moment.

A military report that was sent urgently just now made him almost faint. His left flank, his biggest reliance in this battle, the 20,000 cavalry led by Xu Chong, lost.

With two to one, they still lost, and what made him even more unbelievable was that Xu Chong died!

In the battle with Liu Chenglin, Xu was killed in battle. A thousand thunder horsemen, almost all of them were wiped out. Now on his left flank, the remnants of the cavalry are being pursued by Liu Chenglin.

For the other cavalry on his left flank, he had little hope.

Looking at the Tang Army camp on the opposite side, which seemed to be crumbling, Cao Xuan actually felt that his nose was a little sour, and he still lost! The left and right flanks have been completely defeated, and the rangers of the Tang Army are led by Li De, and they are only a few dozen miles away from him, and there is no suspense in this battle.

"Tell Xia Long, increase the attack and cover the retreat of the Chinese army!" Almost using all the strength of his body, Cao Xuan said to the soldiers beside him.

Chen Shengliang led all the cavalry of the Chinese army to Pine Pass to intercept Li De's department. At dawn tomorrow, immediately retreat in the direction of Bianzhou. ”

"Command the Chinese army, retreat!"

After giving all the orders, Cao Xuan turned over his horse, never looked at the Tang army camp that was still fierce, and walked in the direction of Bianzhou without looking back.

In the Tang Army camp, Li Rui's hand holding a monocular suddenly trembled, and in his field of vision, Cao Xuan's banner of the Chinese army was actually retreating.

Removing the binoculars, he rubbed his eyes vigorously and lifted the binoculars again.

Yes, the other party has retreated, and compared to just now, the opponent's Chinese army banner has retreated a little farther.

"Order all the reserves, go up, go up!" He was ecstatic, the left and right flanks must have already won, there is no need to keep reserves, at this time, the top can allow the soldiers above the second line of defense to reduce unnecessary casualties.

The sound of war drums rumbled, and Li Rui lifted his horizontal knife, shouted, and rushed out.

Hou Fangyu held the horizontal knife with one hand, and slashed an enemy to the ground with red eyes, and before he could withdraw the knife, when there was a sound, a knife slashed at his chest, and the armor immediately cracked a gap, and flew up and kicked down the guy who slashed him, but there was a sound in his chest, a spear poked at him, and the armor stuck the opponent's spear, but the huge impact still knocked him to the ground, and several spears stabbed in front of him, and Hou Fangyu closed his eyes.

There was a whizzing sound of crossbow arrows in his ears, and the expected sharp pain did not come, but a familiar voice came: "Hou Fangyu, are you dead?" ”

It's Li Rui.

Hou Fangyu sat up with some difficulty: "I'm not dead yet, but I don't have the strength!" ”

"Sit here and watch me kill the enemy!" Li Rui laughed and walked past him.
