Chapter Forty-Six: The Destruction of the Army and the Killing of the General III

"Bang." A crisp sound of firearms, mixed with the sound of shouting and killing, and the sound of weapons colliding, is not obvious, and it seems that you will not notice it if you don't listen carefully.

But such voices happen from time to time.

The person who fired the fire was none other than the firecracker who was mixed in the formation.

At this moment, the distance between people is very close, at most only one or two feet, although the figure is heavy, it is not easy to aim, but it can still hit.

After all, if you shoot too far, you may not be able to hit, but at a distance of a few meters, you can't hit it.

At this distance, even if you are wearing iron armor, you are still one by one.

Because it is impossible to save a salvo from such a shot, the sound of the fire gun has become dense and trivial, and it is not obvious in the battle.

But the effect is excellent.

For a while, although the loyalty camp had mustered up its courage, it was still blocked from entering. Even Deng He felt that as long as he mustered up the courage to fight back against the past, he might not be able to push back the loyalty battalion.

It's just that Zhang Xuan's order is there, Deng He didn't dare to do it, and said: "Let Zhang Yuanhai pay attention to it, and prepare to withdraw." ”

Zhang Yuanhai is already a battalion officer of the Linying camp at this moment.

Although he is only a battalion officer, he is not an ordinary army in Linying Camp. In addition, Zhang Yuanhai is Zhang Xuan's clansman. Therefore, his position in the Southern Expeditionary Army is also extraordinary.

At the moment, he had a slight headache.

When he was about to fight, he carried out many orders to supervise the attack. But the order to retreat was scarce. And this battle plan slowly retreated. It's even more uncomfortable.

Zhang Yuanhai was not worried about the people below. Personally to the front line. It was only a few steps away from the place of battle, and then the order was given to retreat in turn.

The order to retreat, if you are not careful, will turn into a rout.

Therefore, what Zhang Yuanhai did can be said to be cautious, and even wanted the soldiers in front of him to retreat from a squad and a squadron.

Fortunately, it is Linying Camp.

The Linying battalion is Zhang Xuan's most loyal, the most elite, and the most combat-effective battalion leader, so that this task can be accomplished. But even so, it dragged on a little bit longer.

It's just that the time dragged on a little longer, but it was hidden from Li Guo.

In Li Guo's opinion, the Xia army was beaten down little by little by the loyal battalion, and the whole formation looked as if it was about to collapse from the middle. However, they did not notice that in terms of the proportion of battle losses, the loyal battalion actually did not have an advantage, and was even at a disadvantage.

It is also in the noisy environment of the battlefield, there is no way to count many figures, and the generals are adjusted according to the state on the battlefield.

Even the wisest of generals cannot always know their own armies. All they can judge is an approximation, not an absolute value.

As for the gap between the two, it is necessary to see what the level of this general is.

And at this moment, Li Guo's judgment is almost buried here.

Li Guo said secretly: "Zhang Xuan is worthy of being called an iron wall, even if he is not an enemy, he can still be so tenacious. ”

"Master Hou, look." A staff member beside Li Guo pointed Li Guo to the past.

Li Guo glanced over, but saw that there were dozens of white sails on Dongting Lake, which were rapidly approaching. Li Guo understands very well that he can't say that he doesn't have a boat on Dongting Lake. But no ships were sent today.

There is only one truth, it is the warship of the Xia army.

What is Xia Jun's warship doing here? Li Guo thought secretly in his heart, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to think of something. Secretly said: "No matter what Xia Jun's sailors come to do, there must be no good thing to come." The sooner this battle is settled, the better. ”

Self-knowledge Li Guo still has.

Of course, he knew that the Loyal Battalion was not the original Raid, and his practice of listing all the elites as the front line certainly made the Loyal Battalion for a while, in terms of attack power, no less than the original Battalion.

But only in one breath.

After this breath passed, the loyalty battalion could not hold on.

Therefore, loyalty is conducive to quick battles, and Zhang Xuan has a reputation for iron walls very early, and it can also be seen that Zhang Xuan's department is tenacious.

Li Guo naturally knows how to choose.

Li Guo gave an order, countless big drums sounded, and the team rushed forward with a loud shout as if they were crazy. For a while, an unimaginable impact erupted.

The sound of shouting and killing was like a real wave, rushing to the face.

The general assault of the loyal battalion began.

Li Guo almost had no reservations, and beat out all the battalions he had the most capable of fighting. The intention to decide the outcome of the first battle was almost written on the face.

And Xia Jun also underestimated Li Guo's decision, for a while. The Xia army as a whole retreated dozens of steps to the south, and even a small group of Xia troops fell behind and fell into the sea of the loyal camp.

I saw the soldiers of the loyal battalion rushing from all directions, but after a while, they used bamboo poles to hang the heads of the officers of the Xia army and hang their heads to show the public, so as to hit the morale of the Xia army.

Zhang Xuan saw it clearly from behind. You don't need to look at it to know that such a situation that almost collapsed was definitely not in the previous plan.

Zhang Xuan said: "What's going on? ”

Zhang Xuan's left and right generals followed Zhang Xuan's side, what Zhang Xuan knew, they all knew, what Zhang Xuan didn't know, they didn't necessarily need Zhang Xuan to know.

Under Zhang Xuan's questioning, he could only look at each other and be silent.

Zhang Xuan said: "Qin Meng. ”

"The end will be." Qin Meng slammed out of the ranks and said.

Zhang Xuan untied the long sword at his waist with his backhand and said: "Take my long sword to supervise the battle, I don't care what the situation is below, but anyone who dares to take a step back will be cut immediately." You take your place. ”

"Yes." Qin Meng said loudly.

Then he took Zhang Xuan's long sword with both hands, respectfully

Jing took two steps back, then put away his long sword and went down with his headquarters.

Zhang Xuan's long sword is not a famous sword. But it is Zhang Xuan's prestige, even if it is a mere iron sword, he can command the whole army. No one dares to slack off.

As soon as Qin Meng's department left, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt that his side was empty. He's a little cold.

In summer, by Dongting Lake, I only feel refreshed, and I will never feel cold, Zhang Xuan feels cold. It wasn't a physical coldness, but his feeling that the situation was out of control.

At this moment, the biggest flaw of Zhang Xuan's department is the defect in the number of people.

Winning more with less is the right way for soldiers.

In fact, as soon as there was a battle today, Zhang Xuan sensed that something was wrong, either because he thought you were anything else, or because the number of Li Guo's troops was more than he expected.

In Zhang Xuan's estimation, Li Guo should have assigned a part of the loyal battalion to strengthen the north, instead of smashing the entire loyal battalion to the south.

Although this was beyond Zhang Xuan's expectations, Zhang Xuan immediately made adjustments.

After all, in Zhang Xuan's experience, he hardly had a single battle, and he walked down according to the original plan in a down-to-earth manner, and the accident was expected.

He immediately made adjustments.

The reserves were filled. The whole battle did not seem to have been affected much. And at this moment, after he sent Qin Meng out, he had no reserves on hand.

Except for the Luo Dai Division, which was on the side, confronting the Loyal Battalion, he didn't have any bargaining chips to put into the battlefield. And Luo Dai's department was used by him to seal his throat with a knife, and he must not use it.

He felt cold.

If there is no reserve, it means that the main general has lost the ability to interfere and adjust the battle situation. I can only watch the generals below fight, as if there are no padded jackets in winter.

How can Zhang Xuan not feel cold.

"Command all the sailors to disembark and line up for me." Zhang Xuan said: "And let me ask, what is Zhou Fuchen doing, why is it so slow?" ”

"Yes." Zheng Lian said.

He immediately issued an order for Zhang Xuan.

"General." Hu Tang said: "This is not the time to be greedy, let's order to prepare for a counterattack, even if you can't do your full job, it's ------."

"Needless to say." Zhang Xuan said: "Mr. Hu, do you know, where is Gao Yigong? ”

Hu Tang's heart moved, and he said: "Gao Yigong has arrived in Yiyang? ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Exactly. ”

From Changde to Changsha by land, it is actually not too far. And Yiyang is very close to Changsha. To the east of Yiyang is Xiangyin.

That is to say, Gao Yigong is very likely to attack Xiangyin first, cut off the Xiangjiang River, or simply break into Changsha.

The situation can be said to be full of crises, Zhang Xuan looks complacent, but in fact, he is walking on thin ice, who knows the pressure?
