Final Chapter. Beacon Roll Sky 373.Howling Moon

The sound of the gun scraping against the edge of the shield must be masked by the chaotic and noisy environment of the battlefield; But the tip of the spear pierced the air and brought out the sharpness, which also made the battle-hardened veteran Wang Shuangshi, keenly capture the smell of approaching death, and shivered without warning!

The experience of escaping death countless times made him not even move his eyes, so he decisively let go of his hands and gave up the long knife that was completely stuck; At the same time, he used all the strength of his front foot to kick the ground desperately, and the whole person flew backwards with the help of his strength......

It's a pity that Wang Shuangshi is just an old soldier ruffian, not a martial arts celebrity who "gets older and more demonic". Rich fighting experience and keen sense of crisis could not bring his broken body back to life......

Burst!

The two extremely fast spear tips pierced the skin of Wang Shuangshi's left shoulder and right waist almost at the same time; Then the barrel of the gun turned, and the musculature under the skin was disturbed, the inverted triangle shape of the tip of the gun, and the tail was tightly stuck in the gap between the bones, like the long knife ...... wedged in the shield; The two pikemen of the Relief Army, feeling that the tip of the gun was blocked, knew that they had hit the target, so they pulled their guns back at the same time!

A young and strong young man, his explosive power is far from being comparable to that of a dying old man and a seriously injured pawn! With the cooperation of the two, they actually dragged the veteran Wang Shuangshi, whose body was as thin as a cicada's wings, back along the barrel of the gun......

"Side shield!"

The two who hit the target issued a low command at the same time; The front of the shield array opened wide in response, and Wang Shuangshi, who was gritting his teeth to resist the pain, was also dragged back into the long shield array of the Relief Army by these two spears and volleys......

After a burst of sword light and human figures, the bottom edge of the long shield that was re-closed slowly oiled with a layer of conspicuous and fishy sweet blood paint......

Wang Shuangshi, the eighth general of the Northern Wolf, can be regarded as having achieved his long-cherished wish - to die on the battlefield......

However, although Wang Shuangshi's death is tragic, it is not worthless; At least when the long shield was on the side, many Northern Yan soldiers who followed him took advantage of the situation to break into the inner perimeter of the shield array.

From a realistic point of view, the damage that these people can cause is very limited; But after they threw themselves into the battle, they were slaughtered by the army of the Relief Army; But between the two sides, they pushed and shoved, and by the way, the originally orderly long shield hand was staggered......

Seeing that the formation of the Iron Guard Battalion was crumbling, the Pioneer Battalion also gave up the original plan of outflanking from the flank, joined the battle group in advance, and forcibly maintained the depth of its own front, so that the enemy could not quickly break through and smashed the artillery car's main formation......

With the addition of this group of fresh forces, the 500 Northern Yan Protectors who followed Wang Shuangshi and crashed into the enemy formation were soon scattered and divided by the tide of enemy troops; The formation has been broken, the momentum has been blocked, and it seems that the total annihilation is in the blink of an eye......

However, after being restrained and pulled by Wang Shuangshi's subordinates, the eight generals of the Northern Wolf who were ordered by the king to go out of the city to help the battlefield, and more than 2,000 city guards under their command, had already gushed out from the mouth of the city gate......

"Old stone, you can hold me up! The old brethren have arrived! ”

Among the eight generals of the Northern Wolf, the oldest and most famous person is Wang Di, the old butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion. After nearly 40 years, he is back in battle, and the other five veterans with their hair and naked are slightly different in style. He had a large unsheathed ring knife tied to his back, and in his right hand he carried a long black lacquered pole with a new cluster; On the left side of the chest with loose flesh, there is also a heart guard the size of a sea bowl tied diagonally, and the whole body exudes a savage aura......

With this appearance, how can there be a little bit of the elegance and decency of the "second master of the Prime Minister's Mansion"!

This mottled and sunken heart goggle, Wang Fang has completely forgotten about it; But all the old men of the Northern Wolf Army can be seen at a glance; This is exactly the "reward" that he personally wore for him when he entered the encirclement alone, was injured by three arrows and eight knives, saved the half-dead Wang Di, and personally wore it for him!

Admittedly, this goggle has long been useless, but now it has seen the light of day, but there is not even the slightest stain or rust!

Wang Di stood still outside the south gate of Yanjing, his shoulders moved, and the long black lacquer pole suddenly flew and rolled in the face of the cold wind on the battlefield! This was originally a dark red flag, but it has long since faded its thick color under the erosion of time; The bottom of the flag, which makes up the flag, has also been affected and weathered by the long river of time; Today, dancing in the wind again, from the thousands of holes, the lazy light of late summer is projected, gently caressing the top of the head of the good son of Beiyan; As for the three gold thread embroidered characters of the "Northern Wolf Army", now only the dark blue stump remains; If you don't look closely, it's hard to distinguish even the traces of the word...

This is a military flag of the Northern Wolf Army, inscribed by the first king and hand-embroidered by the queen mother, as the greatest praise for their shock to the northwest border and the pacification of half of the Northern Yan country; It is also the most cherished glory in this life for every veteran of the Northern Wolf Army......

Now this remnant flag is waving in the wind, and it looks neither mighty nor murderous; On the contrary, due to its broken appearance, it also has a strong aging and decadence; It feels like looking at a torn quilt that has been pressed to the bottom of a box for decades, full of the smell of death and decay......

What's even more ridiculous is that this imperial military flag, which has been lost by the Beiyan army and people for many years, only shook three times in the bitter wind, and then turned into pieces of cracked brocade, flying and shattered; The old general Wang Di turned a blind eye to this and was completely unmoved; He only gave the new black lacquered pole into the hands of the blind old brother; Then he untied the big ring knife behind him, pointed to the main formation of the Relief Army fifty paces away, and shouted hoarsely:

"Northern Wolf Army, kill!"

Like this, the mantis arm is used as a car, and the grasshopper shakes the tree, which is ridiculous and sighing......

Looking at these old coffins who were struggling to walk, with more than 2,000 second-rate soldiers, rashly killing out of Yanjing City, Pang Qingshan was sad in his heart, but he was also completely relieved. Obviously, the Northern Yan army went out of the city to meet the battle, forced by the earth-destroying power of the artillery truck; And sending these "dead man's guise" to rush and kill, it is obvious that there is no one available!

"Herald, come closer! Quickly pass the order of a certain general, and order the vanguard and the soldiers of the second battalion to attack the enemy outside the city left and right; Order the Iron Guard Battalion to circle at full speed and block the road for the enemy's retreat, and it is best to take the Yanjing City Gate by taking advantage of the situation, and then completely destroy the two gate axes; The Fufeng battalion was ordered to quickly consume all the remaining arrows, and the rain of arrows could not stop for a moment, and suppressed the enemy troops in the city with all their might, so that they had no time to take care of the battle of the infantry army; Order the trebuchet battalion to take advantage of the situation to move forward until it is thirty steps away from the city, and I want to see the westernization of Yanjing City before the city is broken, and it will be completely in ruins! Go ahead! ”

The heralds were called to go; After a while, the vanguard and the second battalion of Dengcheng left their main formation, and at the same time killed the more than 2,000 Northern Yan soldiers who were in chaos; And the shield soldiers and pikemen of the Iron Guard Battalion have also thoroughly digested Wang Shuangshi's five hundred armor soldiers; Now that he got Pang Qingshan's new order, he put the weapon and shield on his back, picked up the inferior broadsword of the Northern Yan Army, and quickly launched a roundabout outflanking behind the enemy formation......

The soldiers of the Liberation Army, although they have seen blood; However, in terms of formation suppression and cooperative operations, it is still necessary to have a long and arduous actual battle and repeated rehearsals; Although the soldiers of the Yanjing Protector Army are also the top elites drawn from various armies, there are also those children of families who have no prospects, as well as veterans who are willing to fall into the same stream after entering Beijing......

After all, the capital is a prosperous place with a lot of traffic; Even if he is a man who is beaten of copper cast iron and bloodthirsty, he can't withstand the consumption of this prosperous era that seems to be like a flowing year, peace and tranquility......

Therefore, although this is an earth-shattering final bloody battle that will determine the future direction of the Huayu Continent; However, due to the quality of the troops and tactical tactics of both sides, they are not qualified to become examples of war; However, if you compare horizontally, the strength of the two sides is basically between the two sides, and they can barely be regarded as chess opponents and talents.

For the soldiers of the Northern Yan, behind them is the national capital Yanjing City, and they have no help to look forward to, no way to retreat, they can only fight desperately and fight against the water. As for the matter of surrendering to the enemy before the battle, they were not without this idea; But as soon as it came, Pang Qingshan's department was a lone army, and everyone in the north and south knew it; Second, Wang put it in his hands, still holding about 10,000 troops, and thousands of elite royal forest troops, who have not yet set foot on the battlefield; Third, in the hands of the four princes of Chang'an City, there is also a hundred battle heroes, and it is expected that they are on the way back to Yanjing.

Since Emperor Tianyou has a backer behind him and help from afar, wouldn't it be a brain to invest in Pang Qingshan, a lonely army struggling with death, at this time?

Since you don't dare to rebel, you can only obey the king's order and go into battle to fight the enemy! Anyway, gambling on this game with his head is not too much of a loss for ordinary soldiers: if you lose, you will be a martyr, and if you win, you will be rewarded; Even if you can't lift it to the level of escorting, at least you can mix it up with a petty official like a battalion school......

And this doomed decisive battle, for these "surviving veterans" of the Northern Wolf Eight Generals, they have suffered for decades, just to wait for this opportunity! Now that they have set foot on the battlefield today, they have no intention of returning alive! Even the blind general, who was suffering from white eyes and could not go into battle to kill the enemy, was now standing in front of the city gate with his chest held high, carrying the bare flagpole; And the other four veteran generals all took the last breath of their lives, threw off those young and strong, and rushed to the forefront of the team!

The two sides were about fifty paces apart, and in the blink of an eye, they were still connected to the blade; Wang Di, the old butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion, raised the thick-bladed big ring knife high above the top, went straight to the head of the pioneer battalion, and slashed away!

According to the combat habits of the old soldiers, a slash in the middle of a knife must be accompanied by a small action of turning the head and closing the eyes; First, they are afraid that the rough standard blade will be unbearable for the load of the skull, and the ballast will be broken or chopped off and broken bones, hurting their eyes; Second, it is also to prevent the enemy from being cut in two with a knife, and the blood in the abdomen splatters out, obscuring their own vision......

Such inconspicuous tricks and tricks, accumulated a lot, are called battlefield experience; Every habit may save your life at a critical juncture!

On any battlefield, the attrition ratio of veterans to recruits is generally more than 1 to 20.
