Chapter 22: Reinforcements Arrive
A tragic offensive and defensive battle has begun!
Wang Qing's side desperately wanted to defend the camp, because only by holding it could they live, and the previous bloody sacrifice would not be in vain.
On the side of Jinniuzhai, it is desperate to break through the camp, because only by breaking through the camp can the enemy be slashed. You must know that Wang Qing and they came up from the foot of the mountain, and killed a total of about four or five hundred people, some of whom are the relatives of these people in Jinniuzhai now, these people saw that the three masters were killed, and they thought that their relatives were also murdered, and now the other party has few people, as long as they break through the camp, they can avenge their relatives.
The roar shook the heavens and the earth, the sound of fighting shook the sky, the men and horses of the Golden Bull Village under the leadership of the two brothers Lu Meng and Lu Zhong, the attack on the camp was only an hour's effort, on both sides of the wall, there were nearly two hundred people who fell forever, but the corpses were mainly concentrated outside the camp, most of them were the people and horses of the Golden Cow Village, and the casualty ratio was close to one to ten.
Goode was supervising the battle in the rear, and when he saw this, his heart was also heavy. After all, they were originally few people, and they sacrificed more than twenty people in an hour, and now there are about a hundred people left, of which twenty are still archers, under the leadership of the three Wu brothers as long-range support. Fortunately, the entrance to the camp is not wide, and it can still be defended. Wang Qing walked back and forth within the wall of the camp gate, assisting the soldiers in defending, he held a spark against the gun, patrolling back and forth, where the soldiers couldn't hold on, so they helped, playing the role of the fire captain, but he mainly dealt with the other party's centurion and Lu Meng and Lu Zhong.
Lu Meng and Lu Zhong took the lead in rushing forward at first, but when they met the oncoming Wang Qing, they were frightened by Wang Qing's shot, among which Lu Zhong was even cut by a gun blade on his neck. But in this way, the two did not dare to attack directly, but only supervised the battle in the rear, wanting to use the tactics of the sea of people to exhaust Wang Qing.
At this time, Lu Zhong roared angrily in the rear: "Give me an attack, they only have about a hundred people, and in an hour, they must take the camp for me." ”
"Archers, suppress them for me, and the people in front of me will charge me, and whoever is the first to rush into the camp will be promoted to be the third master, and the bounty will be one hundred." Lu Meng also yelled at this time.
There are too many people and horses in Jinniuzhai, but they can't use it, and there are only so many people who can attack the camp in front, but there are also archers in the rear. But their archers are obviously not as good as the three Wu brothers, although there are more archers in Jinniuzhai, but they are afraid of accidentally injuring their own people, but they are suppressed by the archers led by the three Wu brothers.
However, because of the large number of people in their Taurus Village, the people in front of them fell, and they could make up for it immediately, and when they heard the roars of Lu Meng and Lu Zhong, the attack was even more fierce.
But Wang Qing's defense was also unwilling to retreat, and Gude commanded in the rear, Wang Qing wandered around to help, and an hour passed, except for more than 200 corpses, the Wei army failed to take the camp after all.
Lu Meng They didn't expect their whole army to be dispatched, more than 1,000 people couldn't break through the camp defended by more than 100 people on the other side, he really didn't expect Wang Qing's defense to be so tenacious, attacking for two hours, now it was close to four o'clock in the afternoon, the soldiers and horses on both sides were exhausted, and even the morale of the people and horses in Jinniuzhai fell sharply, they even doubted whether the other party was a person, otherwise how could they withstand the crazy attack of more than 1,000 people for two hours in a row.
Lu Meng said to Lu Zhong: "Second brother, the other party is desperately resisting, so tenacious, we want to take the camp, unless the whole army continues to attack, but even if we take the camp by then, we will have more than half of the casualties." And I think they still have the strength to spare, and it doesn't seem like they can be captured so easily. ”
Lu Zhong said with a calm face: "Big brother, if you can't attack it, is the third brother's revenge just like that?" If the other party hadn't been for the young man with a gun to help back and forth, the war horse under his crotch was like flying, and one person was as good as a hundred people, if it weren't for him, we would have captured the camp a long time ago. ”
Lu Meng nodded and said: "I saw it too, and we fought with him just now, he is indeed brave and extraordinary, with a treasure gun in his hand, it is estimated that he does not belong to the Huang Da master of Huanglongzhai." ”
Lu Zhong muttered: "I don't see that there are many people on the other side, and we have so many men and horses, so we can let some brothers continue to attack, contain them, and make them unable to rest." The other part of our brothers went to rest first, and then changed the attack at night, and the other side fought hard for a day, even the iron people could not support it, and when we attacked the camp, we would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”
"Good idea, just do what you say, second brother." When Lu Meng heard Lu Zhong's suggestion, his eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed.
So they divided the men and horses into two batches, one pair continued to attack, but the main thing was to harass and contain, constantly consuming Wang Qing's physical strength, and at the same time consuming their bows and arrows, they really had enough of the suffering of the archers belonging to the three Wu brothers, and they were eager to rush in and kill them first.
Gude also saw Lu Meng's thoughts in the rear, but this was a Yang scheme, and he had no way to crack it, so he had to stick to it and wait for Pei Yuanshao's arrival.
"Rush me, you must take the other party this time!"
"Kill!"
"You must keep it for me! Shoot them hard for me! ”
In front of the camp at the exit of Canglong Ridge, there were bursts of fierce shouts and killings.
Inside and outside the camp, Wang Qing's people inside defended desperately, while the people in Jinniuzhai outside attacked desperately. Jinniuzhai has changed people and horses at this time, and the attackers have been resting in the afternoon, with sufficient physical strength, and the offensive is very fierce.
At this time, there were only more than 80 people led by Wang Qing, and the archers in the rear had already come to the gate of the camp and defended with others, so their arrows had already been shot. Although these archers joined and barely made up for the dozens of people lost behind, they were also very tired after shooting so many arrows, and they joined at this time, but they were just able to barely hold on.
Now it has been the fourth hour of Jinniuzhai's attack on the Han army camp, the sky has already been dark, outside the camp, the other party has already lit a torch to attack, but inside the camp, Wang Qing let the fire be extinguished, so that the other party can not see the situation in their camp clearly, and they can clearly see the attack of Jinniuzhai outside the camp.
Although the two hours behind the Jinniu Village continued to attack, but the main thing was to contain, not as fierce as before, so the losses on both sides were not as good as at the beginning, the casualties in the two hours were not as good as the battle damage in the first hour, and there were still almost 800 people in the Jinniu Village.
And now Wang Qing and they are not comfortable, they haven't eaten or drunk much for a day, just now when the other party gave up the onslaught in the middle, they ate a few mouthfuls of food, and drank with water, but they were all tired at this time, and they were all supported there by a will.
This will comes from Wang Qing, as soon as they look up, they can see Wang Qing's figure running around, almost every time there is a risk of being ready to attack, Wang Qing will appear where and where will be repulsed, these people have already given their lives to him, they believe that Wang Qing will definitely lead them to victory, even if they die, Wang Qing will avenge them.
At this time, Wang Qing and Gu De, as well as the three Wu brothers, all joined in the back and forth to support, several people were covered in blood, especially Wang Qing, who was dark red, and the undried blood was left one by one along the ravines formed after the coagulation of the dried plasma, the color of the battle armor itself was no longer recognizable, but the face was still resolute, and the speed of the spark anti-chaos gun in his hand did not decrease at all, and it was even more impressive than before.
At this time, the back of the Canglong Ridge, as long as the Canglong Ridge is passed, it is Wang Qing's camp. A large group of men had already arrived.
This team of men and horses is Pei Yuanshao and them, they hurriedly marched to climb the mountain, and completed what was supposed to be a day in half a day, at this time Liu Cheng heard the shouting of killing, and hurriedly asked Pei Yuanshao for help, and took the lead in rushing over to support.
Pei Yuanshao had long wanted to meet the people of Jinniuzhai for a while, but he would not let Dong Hong lead the people and horses through Canglong Ridge quickly, and he himself and Liu Cheng rushed first.
Liu Cheng was familiar with the road, ran ahead, rushed to the side of the camp wall, and reported to Wang Qingyu: "Report ...... Lord Vanguard, the reinforcements are coming, and the reinforcements led by the second master have come. ”
"What? Lao Pei is here, haha, it's just the right time! Wang Qing really cried with joy, the reinforcements came in such a timely manner, in this way, the battle of Jinniuzhai this time is considered to be settled, and the other party has no possibility of turning the tables.
"You get up first, where are Lao Pei's men now!" Wang Qing helped Liu Cheng up and asked Pei Yuanshao where his men were.
"The men and horses led by the second master are coming from Canglongling, and I and the other two brothers rushed over to report to the adults. In addition, the second master also took the lead and followed, just behind me. After Liu Cheng finished speaking, he pointed behind him.
Wang Qing looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, Pei Yuanshao's figure holding a mace appeared in his eyes, although there was no light, but at this time it appeared behind him, plus this size and the mace, Wang Qing knew that it was Pei Yuanshao.
Wang Qing let the brothers who insisted on insisting, and he himself greeted Pei Yuanshao, at this time he knew that the reinforcements were coming, and he also took the opportunity to relax, so that the reinforcements could replace the brothers who held on, most of the brothers lasted a day, and they were almost at the limit at this time.
Pei Yuanshao came to the front and saw Wang Qing by the firelight outside, and he was also taken aback. It was really that Wang Qing at this time was too terrifying, and after a day of fighting, there were at least fifty enemies who died in his hands, not to mention hundreds. No matter how little blood one person has, dozens of people are killed, blood is splashed, and the plasma on Wang Qing's body has condensed several layers, and from a distance, he thought that Wang Qing was wearing thick armor.
After Pei Yuanshao was surprised, he also saw the fierceness of their fight from Wang Qing's appearance, he didn't think Wang Qing was dirty, patted Wang Qing's shoulder hard, and choked up: "Ziwu, you have worked hard, next, leave it to us here, the brothers are behind, let us give Jinniuzhai another fatal blow!" ”
"Lao Pei, don't be in a hurry, at this time I suddenly have an idea, I need your cooperation, if it goes well, we can not only break through the Golden Bull Village, but also let the brothers lose a lot." Wang Qing saw that Pei Yuanshao was about to rush over to fight, suddenly stopped him, and said to Pei Yuanshao.
