Chapter 669: Fierce Battle at Sanyuanling (Final)
If it was just a competition of strength, Lin Chong was naturally far from being the opponent of Fang Shi Buddha, who was born with divine power. But how can a master fight only be greater than the size of the strength, the subtlety of the moves, the prediction of the enemy, and the grasp of the opportunity are the key to victory or defeat.
Obviously, after watching the confrontation between Fang Shifo and Lu Junyi, Lin Chong had an in-depth understanding of this enemy, and came up with a countermeasure to break the strength of the hammer with the trembling strength of the spear. Sure enough, this time he made a contribution on the spot, not only breaking the opponent's double hammer, but also severely injuring the opponent.
Fang Shi Buddha only had time to flash his body slightly to the side at the moment when the tip of the spear touched his body, and he couldn't completely dodge this swift thunderous blow, and in the miserable snort, he had been pierced through his right chest by a spear, and at the same time the blood was splashed, the strength of his hand was also loosened, and a hammer slammed to the ground, and his body was also planted backwards.
But even though he was seriously injured, he was brave and belligerent, he still gritted his teeth and forced it down, and with a sudden step in his footsteps, he actually stabilized his out-of-control body again, and wanted to fight again. It's just that Lin Chong couldn't give him any more chances, seeing that he still wanted to stabilize his body, he let out another clear whistle, held the spear body with both hands, and suddenly stirred it up, and actually picked up Fang Shifo's two hundred catties of body in the air, and then shook violently, picked it up from the tip of the spear, and smashed it to the ground horizontally.
"General ......" It wasn't until Fang Shifo screamed and took off, and blood splashed everywhere, that the surrounding Wu soldiers woke up like a dream and came forward to rescue, but after all, it was a step too late, and he could only watch him slam on the mountain wall next to him, fainting on the spot, and at the same time, many people were also drenched with blood, which was really sad and embarrassing.
"The head of the Lin Sect is mighty, kill!" The officers and men of the Shandong Army reacted quickly after seeing this astonishing scene, and in the shouts, they slaughtered the enemy in front of them like a tidal wave. On the contrary to them, the Wu army, who had a certain upper hand before, instantly dissipated its fighting spirit like the snow poured on it by boiling oil, and turned his head and fled backwards with a scream, only a few people were still sober-minded, and before fleeing for their lives, they carried the Fang Ten Buddhas who fell aside and did not know whether they were alive or dead.
Therefore, Sun Tu has always not advocated that the main general rush to the front, let alone the so-called fighting general, because the risk of this thing is too great, once an important general is killed or injured by the enemy, it will inevitably have an irreparable bad impact on the entire army, and may even completely change the trend of a battle.
The situation in front of him is like this, with the defeat and serious injury of Fang Shifo, the 20,000 people he led were directly defeated without a fight, all of them were like cattle and sheep driven by tigers and wolves, and there was only one thought left, only one thought left.
Suddenly, this Sanyuanling selected by them became the burial place of countless Wu soldiers. On such a narrow mountain road, countless people rushed to escape, and it was easy to crowd and stampede, and many people did not die at the hands of the Song army, but died at the feet of their own people. And the constant screams from the rear made the people fleeing in front of them even more frightened, all of them ignored it, desperately moving forward, and some even brandished knives and guns to cut at the robe that blocked their way, which also multiplied the number of dead and wounded.
In the blink of an eye, the entire mountain road showed a terrible picture of corpses all over the field and rivers of blood, all of which made the officers and men of the Shandong Army who had stopped the pursuit fearful. However, at this time, they did not have much time to lament the madness of the enemy, because with the sound of the trumpet, they had already turned around again and killed towards the southern exit of Sanyuan Ridge, which was why they stopped the pursuit.
Sun Tu, who was in the rear, knew very well that it was not the wisest choice to hunt down the collapsed Wu army at this time, and the top priority was to kill this dangerous place first. What's more, the battle ahead is still in full swing, and if their own soldiers and horses do not join, the Huainan Army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Just now, when the Shandong army turned around and had a fierce confrontation with Fang Shifo's department, the Huainan army that passed through them also collided head-on with the Wu army ambush soldiers who suddenly appeared in front. Knowing that there were still tens of thousands of enemy troops in the rear, the Huainan army could only burst out the last bit of courage and fighting spirit this time, and then rushed over regardless of it, and quickly launched a head-on confrontation with the enemy.
Although they have been desperately attacking, and they still have a considerable advantage in terms of troops, the 5,000 Wu army ambush soldiers relied on the geographical convenience, coupled with the ease of waiting for work, they really outnumbered the enemy, blocking the first wave of the impact of tens of thousands of Huainan troops.
And when the first round of offensive launched by them with the last Yu Yong was blocked, the follow-up combat strength of the Huainan army plummeted, and they could only fight with the enemy, never breaking through their defensive lines, but paying a great price for casualties.
Peng Yongzhen, who was in the Chinese army, saw this scene, he was really ashamed and angry, he was ambushed by tens of thousands of enemies and fled in embarrassment, but now he is still blocked by thousands of people, and the soldiers and horses are constantly damaged, which is really unacceptable to him. At this time, he couldn't take care of everything, he could only continue to urge his soldiers and horses to kill again and again, but when the fourth or fifth attack came, only a burst of arrows from the enemy came, and the Huainan army jumped back with its head in its hands, and could no longer pose any threat to the enemy's defense line.
Just when Peng Yongzhen hated to personally lead the troops to kill again, the rear horn sounded, and an army was rolling in, which immediately frightened the rear soldiers, only that the Shandong army failed to stop the rebels and let them kill them. When they looked at it and saw the big banner of Sun Zi flying in the air, they let out a cheer: "Sun Chan is mighty and powerful...... and then without anyone giving an order, they quickly flashed to both sides, making way for the Shandong army to pass quickly.
The Shandong army suddenly rushed past the Huainan army like a fast knife that chopped through the waves, and then with endless killing intent, it rushed straight to the thousands of enemy troops who were still a little dazed in front of them.
Soon after the battle resumed, the winner was decided. Whether it is the strength of the troops, the momentum or the degree of elite, this Wu army from Changshu is far from being able to compete with the elite of the Shandong army, which has experienced a hundred battles. With just one charge, the defense line that could kill the Huainan army before was completely torn apart, and then it was their turn to turn around and flee for their lives.
But this time, the Shandong army could not make any reservations, not only the ordinary soldiers shouted and pursued, but with Sun Tu's order, more than 300 tiger and leopard cavalry, who had been with the Chinese army and did not move, also quickly attacked, killing the enemy army who had already lost their hearts like lightning.
At this moment, the battle has completely turned into a one-sided slaughter, in the screams, there are constantly Wu soldiers who have been caught up and killed, and the southern end of the Sanyuan South exit, the white snow has been stained red with blood.
When the sun completely went down, except for two or three hundred enemies who escaped from the side mountain forest, the others either died or surrendered, and the ambush of the Wu army of 5,000 people on this road was actually wiped out, but it was several times more miserable than the fate of the main general who was seriously injured by the Fang Ten Buddhas.
It was only at this time that Sun Tu ordered the troops to be withdrawn, and temporarily stayed at the exit of the mountain range, while checking the casualties, and on the other hand, asking people to check the captured enemy soldiers to see if any important people were captured alive.
And in the mountains, the whole army of the Huainan Army sat on the ground in despair like a defeated rooster at this time, which was not only due to physical weakness, but also due to psychological guilt. After today's battle, their performance was really too bad, especially compared with the Shandong army, which broke through two enemy forces in a row and won the final victory, their poor performance was even more unbearable.
Everyone knows very well that if it weren't for the Shandong army to turn the tide and use its own performance, today's Sanyuanling would be the burial place of tens of thousands of soldiers, and the annihilation of the entire army would be an inevitable result. This also made Peng Yongzhen, who was the main general, even more ashamed, thinking about what he had done before, the Shandong army really repaid his grievances with virtue this time.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage and stepped on the ground mixed with snow, blood and wet mud to thank the Shandong military camp. And when he first came there, he heard a slightly sad and angry voice reporting to Sun Tu: "In today's battle, we have 782 brothers killed in the battle, and more than 1,300 brothers were seriously injured, and the lightly injured are even more incalculable......
This casualty number, hearing this, Sun Tu's eyebrows jumped, and the hand holding the hilt of the knife tightened a little, this battle was indeed too sudden, killing them by surprise, so it would cause damage to two thousand people. You must know that this is the elite of the Shandong Army that he brought out single-handedly, and he feels that his heart is dripping blood.
And this number reached Peng Yongzhen's ears but it was a different feeling, in addition to surprise, more joy - this Shandong army is too strong. They actually only had this casualty after defeating two strong enemies in a row! Thinking about the Huainan Army under his command, there were three or four thousand casualties in today's battle, and the gap is really like a cloud in comparison.
After being amazed for a moment, Peng Yongzhen stepped forward: "The Shandong Army really lives up to its reputation, and my old Peng is really admired this time." ”
Sun Tu only glanced at the other party, but did not answer his words, but continued to look at Yang Zhi in front of him, waiting for him to tell the latter news, which made Peng Yongzhen feel a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction at this time, so he could only wait aside with a dry smile.
Yang Zhi had already adjusted his mentality at this time, and continued: "I have already checked, this rebel army is the defenders of Changshu City in front, and their main will be Wen Lingda, the defender of the city, but he has been killed by us on the spot and has not been caught alive. In addition, according to the captives, there are now nearly 5,000 defenders in the city, and they are ready to defend......"
Hearing this, Sun Tu's brows suddenly furrowed: "Tell me, is today's battle full of weirdness?" How could they have known about our itinerary and set up an ambush here early on, and even the soldiers and horses defending the city came? ”
His question really made the other soldiers suspicious, and even Peng Yongzhen frowned deeply.
But Sun Tu didn't dwell on this matter, but suddenly smiled and said: "But in my opinion, this may be an opportunity to win Changshu!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and only a few people quickly came back to their senses and showed the same smile......
