Chapter 322: The Battle of Dongshi Kip (Final)
When Sun Tu led the army into Dongshi Kip, the total number of men and horses from several parties had exceeded 1,000, of which nearly half were surrendered from the two mountains. But when they came out of the west exit of Kip Valley, the number had been sharply reduced to more than 700 people, and nearly half of the people in the two mountains were killed and wounded under the ambush above.
But even so, it has made the whole army angry, especially the people of White Tiger and Peach Blossom Ershan, nearly half of the brothers died in Kip Valley, but they almost failed to hurt the enemy, which made their aggrieved eyes red.
And now, the ambush soldiers from Erlong Mountain actually came from the front, and they still wanted to take advantage of this, which was really unbearable! At the moment, Zhou Tong, who was the most irritable, shouted: "Brothers, the time has come to take revenge, kill them all!" As he spoke, he was already spear in hand, and he strode forward.
Li Zhong and the others from Peach Blossom Mountain on the side no longer hesitated, they all followed with a roar, followed by those people from White Tiger Mountain, they were also angry by the sneak attack just now, how could they bear it when they saw the main master? Two or three hundred people broke away from the Qingzhou Army Brigade and ran frantically to the past.
Sun Tu was a little stunned by this reaction, and after a while, he gently spit out four words: "Rabble!" As soon as this momentum is used up, these seemingly fierce guys will become a plate of scattered sand, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
However, at this time, he didn't care about restraining the people of the two mountains to act according to his orders, and it was not possible to change their habits today, and what he had to do now was to defeat the frontal enemy as soon as possible. Even if there were more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in Erlong Mountain, nearly twice as many as his own, he was full of confidence, and immediately pointed his spear forward and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order, rushes forward in front of the arrows, and kills the thief!" ”
In stark contrast to those rabble, the more than 500 people of the Qingzhou Army had quickly assembled into a wedge-shaped battle formation, with Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and others as arrows, shouting and killing the Erlongshan bandit team who had already fought with the Liangshan people and others.
In fact, not only the people of Liangshan, but also the people of the Qingzhou army also held their breath, and now they met the enemy head-on, which was a good time for revenge. Lin Chong and the others took the lead, although they did not have a war horse, but the speed of galloping forward was not inferior to that of a galloping horse, and in a flash, they had already killed in front of the battlefield that had just begun.
"Kill!" Without too much nonsense, Lin Chong had already rushed to a leader of Erlong Mountain who was fighting Li Zhong, and the spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter straight into the opponent's chest. That man's reaction was not slow, and while he hurriedly withdrew and retreated, he also pressed his knife to defend.
But when the weapon in his hand collided with Lin Chong's all-out stabbing shot, a strong force had quickly attacked, making him fly upside down in a muffled snort, and knocked over the two companions behind him with two bangs, a large amount of blood had spilled out of his mouth, and his hands had been cracked. At the beginning, Lin Chong couldn't resist even Kong Ming with a shot stabbed by the momentum of the horse, and he was naturally a small leader who couldn't parry.
And at the moment when he was injured and flew back, Li Zhong had already quickly pounced, and the knife in his hand suddenly slashed out, and the other party was split in two by a knife at the moment when he couldn't lift his arm. Lin Chong didn't care that someone picked up his peaches, and when he saw that this person was dead, he turned around and killed on the other side.
At the same time, Yang Zhi also killed those Erlong Mountain thieves, waving the Pu knife in his hand, there was almost no enemy in front of him, he was really dying, touching death, and in the blink of an eye, he had cut down more than ten people, which frightened the thieves on this side and retreated again and again, and also opened the opportunity for the people of the two mountains who had been blocked just now to continue attacking.
Unlike them, who were more accustomed to taking the lead in onslaught, Qi Desheng constantly ordered the whole army to advance quickly with military formations, constantly reaping the lives of the enemy in the way of the advance.
That was the scattered Erlong Mountain group Kou He had seen such a sharp breakthrough formation, after some people in front of them were killed one after another, others were so frightened that they quickly fled to both sides, not daring to take advantage of the Qingzhou army's edge again. In an instant, the Qingzhou army that rushed forward was like a red-hot blade piercing into the butter, and everywhere it went, it chopped through the waves and screamed again and again, but there was no force at all that could resist the momentum of their impact.
After a burst of killing, the front of a thousand people was easily penetrated by this team of only about 500 people, and there was almost no enemy to kill in front of them. And at this time, Qi Desheng shouted again: "The wings are spread, the glaive array, kill!" ”
With the order issued, the battle formation that had been rushing like an arrow suddenly became a meal, and then the team dispersed, hundreds of people spread their wings like a big peng, lined up, and continued to cover and kill those Erlong Mountain thieves who had already lost their fighting spirit, and the screams and screams instantly sounded several times louder than just now, at this moment, the military spirit of the Erlong Mountain thieves had completely collapsed.
They never imagined that they would encounter such a terrible attack, and the enemy was not only stronger than them individually, but also able to cooperate with each other, leaving people in a dilemma and completely unsure of how to parry. That sharp aura and killing intent were not at all comparable to the opponents they had encountered before. Especially after seeing many leaders being attacked and killed, they were even more frightened, and there was only one thought left in their hearts - run! Because that's the only way to stay alive.
In fact, it was not only them, but also the people of the White Tiger and Peach Blossom Mountains who were on the same front as the Qingzhou Army were also shocked by the reversal of the battle situation like rolling soup and pouring snow in front of them.
At this moment, Li Zhong and Zhou Tong were even more glad, fortunately they listened to Luda's advice and returned to the imperial court early, otherwise with the powerful combat power of this Qingzhou army, they would really fight with it, and the whole mountain would be completely wiped out.
Deng Long, who was originally sitting in the rear, was also completely dumbfounded, the change in the battle situation came too quickly, he didn't even have time to make any changes, but the defeat was decided. He wasn't convinced, and he couldn't understand why things had turned out the way they were.
Originally, according to the previous arrangement, coupled with the extremely dangerous terrain of Dongshi Kip in front, it was able to inflict heavy losses on the officers and soldiers, even if they could really kill them from the Kip Valley, it would be a heavy casualty and the end of the crossbow. At that time, if he led the army to encircle and kill them, not to mention that he could annihilate them all, he would definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on the officers and soldiers. But now it's good, most of the officers and soldiers have rushed out of the Kip Valley, and their combat power is amazingly strong, especially the first few military attaches are even more powerful, and almost none of their subordinates can stop them, even if they go up by themselves, they won't be able to hold up a few moves.
Thinking of this, Deng Long didn't hesitate at all, and immediately shouted loudly: "Brothers, huh!" After saying this, he turned his horse's head and ran into the woods to the south. After the other people found that the owner of the village had run away, there was no reason to support, and the whole army collapsed in an instant, and they did not make any resistance and parry, turned their heads and ran to the back, and ran to the side, and even many people wished that their father and mother would give themselves two more legs, and they did their best to just run faster.
After all, the Qingzhou army needs to maintain the position of the Glaive Formation, but it is a little difficult to catch up with them at this time, they only have time to chase and kill dozens of people, but the others have already run away, even bows and arrows may not be able to hurt them.
Seeing that his subordinates were all ready to move, Sun Tu restrained the soldiers and horses: "That's it, don't chase after the poor guys." He will annihilate them one day, and he will hate them with snow today! ”
The army had come to a complete halt, but although the fleeing enemy was no longer their target, there were still many culprits left on the rocky hill behind. At that moment, everyone had turned around in unison and looked to that side.
At this time, the ambush soldiers who were left behind on the stone mountain were completely panicked. Although they need to dodge the bows and arrows of the opposing army, they are still paying attention to the battle beyond Kip Valley. At the same time, because they were at a high place, they could see the panorama of the battle below more macroscopically, and they also had a clearer understanding of the strength of the Qingzhou army. At this moment, the Qingzhou Army was in their hearts, that is, a god-like existence, and they couldn't even mention the slightest bit of resistance.
Now, seeing the army turn around and come back to this side, the eyes of countless people are staring at him, and those thieves from Erlong Mountain are already trembling with fear. Finally, one of the people could no longer bear the pressure, quickly raised his hands in the air, and shouted vigorously: "I surrender...... Don't kill me, I don't dare again......"
With the first one, the people behind them no longer made any insistence, and all threw a small number of weapons such as bows and arrows on the ground, and then walked to the side of the stone mountain with their hands held high, and begged for mercy with a humble face towards the officials and soldiers who had re-entered the Kip Valley: "We are willing to submit to the government, and I only ask for my life......
The officers and soldiers on the opposite hill still pointed their bows and arrows at them, but they had no intention of attacking them. Now that these people have chosen to surrender, there is no need to make a dead hand.
Sun Tu also weighed it a little in his heart, and finally nodded and said, "If you really surrender, then come down the mountain." This official can not kill you first! ”
Without much hesitation, the men carefully slid down from above, and some of them did not dare to delay without the slightest fall. At this time, the thieves looked so docile, like lambs.
As these people descended the mountain in disarray, the battle of Dongshi Kip finally came to an end. Although the casualties of the officers and soldiers were not small, the defeat of the main force of the Erlong Mountain bandits in the first battle was enough to boost the morale of the army and shock Shandong Lvlindao.
At this time, the sun had just come to the top of everyone's heads, and in only half a day, this far-reaching war had ended.
In this battle, the Qingzhou army suffered nearly 100 casualties, more than 200 casualties among the soldiers in the two mountains, more than 300 enemies killed, and nearly 100 prisoners, but it defeated more than 1,000 enemy troops, which can be called a great victory......
