Chapter 115: The Battle of Chengchang [2]
Underestimating the enemy's ability and strength means underestimating one's own strength, and since ancient times, those who underestimate the enemy have never had a good result.
In the Chengchang realm, the sky is dark when the official army and the Red Eyebrow army are killed, but anyone with vision can see that the official army lost the first start, and if they hold on, it will only increase casualties.
"Shizi! The deputy marshal sent me to ask if I could temporarily avoid the edge of the thief army and choose the time to reorganize the army and fight again! ”
In response to the messenger's whip and scolding, Wang Kuang shouted loudly: "We must fight to the death, who dares to take half a step back, there will be no forgiveness!" ”
The commander of an army is the soul of the army, he should be the calmest and most composed, but like Wang Kuang, who is noisy and impulsive, and only considers a person who can't solve his anger as the commander in battle, it is simply a disaster for the army. This kind of person is the commander-in-chief, and the usual outcome will lead to the defeat or destruction of the whole army because of an inappropriate order, just like the current battle of Chengchang, the Red Eyebrow army is getting braver and braver, while the officers and soldiers are tired and parryed, and the situation of the enemy's strength and weakness is becoming more and more obvious, until Dong Xian led the Lux battalion to defeat the officers and troops who fought with him, and most of the officers and troops collapsed in chains.
"Attack!" Dong Xian's own life is majestic and burly, and then look at the armaments of him and his wrestler battalion, all of them are wearing heavy armor, holding Ge with swords, carrying bows and crossbows, and crossing arrows, which are completely imitations of heavy infantry Wei Wushu, and their offensive rhythm in each round is to first use crossbow arrows to strike remotely and then borrow Changge's aid and Hu advantages, and launch a horizontal attack and hook kill. If the two rounds of strikes can't defeat the enemy and are close to the flesh, they will immediately abandon the fight and change the sword, rely on the three-layer armor to resist slashing and killing, and completely destroy the opponent's inner defense line with the unreasonable life-for-life play, and the complete opposite of the Lux Battalion's offensive is Yang Yin's long knife army high imitation version, they pay attention to dexterity and changeable and combined attack strategy, the body destroys the knife, the knife turns with the person, the enemy in the face of such an offensive, usually severed limbs or dismembered corpses.
"Resist, hold on!" Wang Kuang roared loudly, but it was useless, and the two armies of Lux and Long Knife had already begun to try to surround and kill Wang Kuang's remnants.
The enemy is strong and I am weak, and the enemy is outnumbered! As for Wang Kuang, there is definitely no him in the heap, but he is the best in the scum.
Seeing that the battle could not be fought, Wang Kuang was able to turn on the self-slapping mode in the face, turned around and ran away with the personal guards, and even more brazenly shouted: "Escort!" ”
It is not casual to say that a general is incompetent and tired to the death of the three armies, for example, now, Wang Kuang, in order to survive, shouted that as long as he can leave alive, all the soldiers who guarded him can be promoted to the rank of knight, which made the officers and soldiers who were originally humble to the enemy restless, and they began to rush to Wang Kuang's side opportunistically, thus giving the two armies of Lux and Long Knife more room to play, and frantically harvesting human lives.
"General Gengshi, save me!" Not afraid of god-like opponents is afraid of pig-like teammates, Wang Kuang also exposed his identity in the chaos of the army, and the angry Lian Dan wanted to kill him, but because of the identity of Wang Kuang's prince and the secret edict issued by Wang Mang before the army set off, Lian Dan must protect Wang Kuang.
"Left and right guards, follow me!" Lian Dan does not act rashly, and the officers and troops can maintain an orderly style of play in the chaos, although it is very hard but not defeated, but Lian Dan's move cannot be taken into account before and after, which gradually leads to the collapse of the entire official army chain, and in the end, he can only protect Wang Kuang to escape from Chengchang and take refuge without salt!
Since the last burning of the city, the saltless city has been reduced to a ghost city with no people and animals for nearly ten days, and then the county lieutenant in Linxian County was ordered to rebuild the saltless, and finally tossed out some popularity, but was robbed by the beautiful heroine Chi Zhaoping, the later Xiu Zhenzilu, Xu Yiqing, and when Wang Kuang and Lian Dan arrived outside the saltless city, the three of them immediately led the army out of the city to snipe the official army.
Suddenly encountering such an accident, Lian Dan's face became extremely gloomy, but he quickly made corresponding arrangements, first ordered the left and right guards to escort Wang Kuang to Luoyang, and then summoned Feng Yan, apologized for his inability to fulfill his promise, and promised some money to let Feng Yan return to his hometown for refuge.
The Red Mei Army knew that the commander of the official army was Wang Mang's fifth son, Wang Kuang, and they all looked forward to using his head to sacrifice, so they changed their routes to pursue, and Lian Dan and more than 20 people led the remnants of the army to resist desperately, which was enough to make the Red Mei Army unable to go to a step in half an hour.
The Red Eyebrow army is all rough people, who don't understand the rights and wrongs in the court, and once fantasized that they could persuade Lian Dan to enhance the prestige of their own army, but Dong Xian was born in the regular army, and he knew that persuading Lian Dan to surrender was a fool's dream, so he came out and shouted: "Lian Gong!" After you are famous, I know that persuasion is useless, but I can't let the tiger return to the mountain, so I can only ask you to die! ”
"It's not helpful to say more. So-and-so's life is here, come and get it! "For Lian Dan, dying on the battlefield is the best ending, why should he be afraid, Lian Dan personally made the tip of the cone and brandished the broadsword to lead the remnants of the army to break through with 5,000, but in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the four ace armies of the Red Eyebrow Heavenly Army, the Long Knife Army, the Lux Battalion, and the Heavy Armor Army, it seemed so pale and powerless, and gradually as the tip of the cone, Lian Dan was injured more and more seriously, and finally drew a successful end to his life in Wuyan City.
Perhaps out of love for the veterans of a hundred battles, several generals in the Red Eyebrow Army shouted: "Lian Dan is dead, those who surrender will not be killed!" But he never thought that this sentence would arouse the will of the veterans of a hundred battles to seek death.
"Lian Gong is dead, who am I living for!" It is not surprising that one person shouted this sentence, a hundred people shouted it was spectacular, and a thousand people shouted it was shocking.
It is said that veterans of a hundred battles are good, and they are good at killing skills in their bones. When they fought back like madmen, the four ace armies of the Red Eyebrow Heavenly Army, the Long Knife Army, the Lux Battalion, and the Heavy Armor Army were all disrupted, not to mention the ordinary Red Eyebrow soldiers, and in an instant, the battlefield seemed to turn into a hell on earth, with severed limbs and heads flying everywhere, and screams, screams, and wild laughter were endless, everywhere.
Until the last veteran of a hundred battles fell, all the soldiers of the Red Eyebrow Army were still confused.
Isn't it true that the saying goes, "Is it better to die than to live?" But why is there a sentence: "Lian Dan is dead, and those who descend will not be killed." "It's going to end like this.
No one in the Red Eyebrow Army has reached the height of Lian Dan in terms of achievement and status, so naturally he can't see the doorway inside. Throughout Lian Dan's life, whether it is character, temperament, ability or moral character, he reveals an invisible influence, which has nothing to do with duties and positions.
If you have to find a sentence to describe or describe Lian Dan, that is: "Those who convince others with their strength are not convinced, and they are not convinced; Those who convince people with virtue are happy and convinced! ”
As the first general of the new dynasty to die in the rebellion, Lian Dan must maximize his value, and for a time, everyone in the thirteen states in the world knew that the Red Mei Army won the battle of Chengchang.
