731, Fan Jun (13)
(2nd watch before 10 o'clock)
Brother Cha stood on the tower of Bozhou City, looking at the endless and endless Tiandao Army barracks outside the city with an expressionless face, just like a sculpture,
In the eyes of the surrounding subordinates, Cha Ge's gaze is still sharp, his back is still tall, his armor is still bright, and his body still exudes the endless power of the Western Xia king who commanded the desert in the past, so that every party soldier who is looking at his back on the city tower can feel the power from him and is deeply encouraged!
But......
At this time, if there is a party soldier who can fly into the air, fly out of the battlement and come to him, and see his face, he must feel a wordless sadness ......,
The sharp gaze in Chago's eyes was gone, leaving only bloodshot and worried eyes, his confident face was gone, the corners of his eyes and cheeks were full of tired wrinkles, his mental condition looked bad, coupled with the grayness of his temples that could not be concealed, almost in an instant, he seemed to suddenly age more than ten years,
Yes, and only in this situation where no one can see him, he can finally show his truest side, he is also a person, he is not a god, he will also be tired, worried, overwhelmed and even afraid,
However, he is the power king of Great Xia, he is the emperor's younger brother, he wants to maintain the dignity of the emperor and the imperial family, he is also the commander of the army, he can't let his subordinates see his worst side, because that will seriously affect morale, just imagine, even if the commander is like this, what can he expect his subordinates to do? Especially at such a critical moment!
Now there is no point in saying words of regret or cursing the enemy in the most vicious language, Brother Cha secretly gritted his teeth, and after trying to regain his confidence and majesty in appearance, he slowly turned around, walked a few steps and came to the battlement on the other side, looked into the city, and saw that from the tower to the city, all the streets and alleys as far as the eye could see were already full of party soldiers, everyone looked up at him, and the whole scene was silent, only the sound of the wind blowing the flag and the snorting of the mount, A suffocating scene is presented!
Seeing the performance of the soldiers in front of him, he was very satisfied, since the conspiracy of the Song State, the Xia army has experienced the destruction of grain and grass, and it has not been able to break through, and it has been trapped and died in this city by the scheme, especially now that the army has no food and grass, if it is placed in other armies, it has already lost all morale and courage, but this army in his hands can still fight again!
Of course, ...... and the last battle!
Last night, he summoned nearly 200 officers and officers, and said that he paid equal attention to grace and might, promised almost everyone a very heavy reward, and described today's decisive battle with full confidence, which made the whole army once again muster the courage to fight to the death with the enemy!
He knew very well that this was his last chance, because such a thing could only be effective once, and if he lost this battle, no matter what he said or did in the future, he would not be able to let the army fight again!
Today, he divided the army into three parts, two feints to attract the attention of the enemy, and then concentrated his most elite troops to smash the enemy's weak points, break through the siege, and grab food!
There are only two results, either successful or ...... Fight to the death with the enemy!
Brother Cha breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded to the two generals Li Yancheng and Li Liangfu who were under the city, the two didn't say anything, just hugged their fists towards Brother Cha, turned their horses' heads at the same time, and galloped towards the south and north of the city respectively, commanding their own army to start a feint attack on the enemy!
Brother Cha waved his hand towards the city again, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers sat on the ground one after another, the final decisive battle was about to start, and even a little bit of physical strength needed to be preserved.
Next, Cha Ge did not wait too long, with two arrows flying from the south of the city and the north of the city in a short period of time, the city gates of the south and north of the city were opened at the same time, Li Liangfu and Li Yancheng commanded 50,000 troops each finally rushed out of the city, launched a fierce attack on the enemy position, hundreds of heralds also indirectly went back and forth to the south of the city, the north of the city and Cha Ge, always reporting the situation of the war to Cha Ge.
Brother Cha didn't act immediately, he just stood behind the battlement, his eyes were like eagles, carefully observing the movements of the enemy army, waiting for the best opportunity!
Finally, after an hour, Cha Ge's eyes moved, he found that the enemy army finally moved, there was a large group of enemy troops moving to the south of the city, he even saw a familiar figure, although he was too far away to see the appearance clearly, but no matter from the size, the war horse, the iconic white armor outfit or the attitude of the enemy soldiers towards that person, he could still recognize that it was the sworn enemy Liu Fa, it was Liu Fa who commanded this large number of enemy troops to go to the south of the city!
Brother Cha was overjoyed, he was still waiting, and after another stick of incense, he felt that the time should be almost up, only to see him quickly turn around and walk to the battlement on the other side, wave his big hand, and order, "Attack!" ”
The war drums finally sounded, and more than 100,000 people who were sitting on the ground got up at the same time, got on their horses, and carried knives, and the city gate opened at the same time.
Brother Cha quickly returned to the battlement, stared at the front with wide eyes, only to see that the enemy position was restless, dusty, the enemy had already reacted, but they were obviously slow, the cavalry that rushed to the front was less than three hundred steps away from them, Brother Cha was overjoyed, but at this moment, a scene that made him dumbfounded suddenly appeared, only to see that the enemy's originally empty barracks, as if out of thin air drilled out of the ground, countless enemy troops like ants gathered towards the front, what shocked Brother Cha even more, There was also a general in white armor who stood out among the enemy troops like a black river, and that person ...... It's Liu Fa!
Didn't Liu Fa just take people to the south of the city? Why is he still here?!
Brother Cha's heart trembled, and a bitterness surged in an instant, he was fooled, it seems that he was fooled again, this Liu Fa, who can be called his nemesis, once again guessed his thoughts, and even that is to say, even the so-called weak points of the enemy army that he have tried to test these days are also fake!
Brother Cha sighed, and then without hesitation, he gave three orders in a row, respectively to Li Yancheng, Li Liangfu and the army under his command: all the plans are nullified, there is no longer a feint attack and the main attack of the three-way army, and all three roads are the main attack! Whoever succeeds in breaking through will send someone to inform the other two roads.
Brother Cha knew that even if he already knew that he might be fooled, but now that the arrow has been issued, there is no possibility of retracting it, and at this moment, Ming Jin's withdrawal of troops will be disastrous for the Xia army that has brought up his last breath, and there is only one way to go to the dark and start a decisive battle with the enemy! It's his only option right now!
Watching the teams of summer soldiers who rushed to the front disappear into the stirred dust like cut wheat, Brother Cha pressed his eyes in pain......!
