Chapter 394: The Decisive Battle in the Land of Heavenly Abundance (9)
On the pine forest slope in the distance opposite, the mountain forest fire is still burning, and the billowing black smoke is very terrifying, like an evil black dragon in mid-air. But the fire should not be able to burn the Sajin Dam, and the grass and trees here are very sparse.
The officers and troops are attacking from the big gap south of Sajinba. Countless officers and soldiers rode on foot, advancing from the west side of the gap to the east; Then turn northeast and attack the Han army along the wide and gentle terrain.
The enemy did not go straight to the northeast and Liu Dagen directly outside the gap, because there was a relatively steep slope on this side. If the centaurs climb up from here, and the people are almost tired and lie down, how can they fight?
Liu Dagen's Yin Desheng Hundred Households marched from this large slope, and they went straight down to face the front flank of the attacking men and horses of the official army.
It's not tiring to walk downhill, but the cannon just now is too dense. Liu Dagen tightly grasped the wooden pole of the spear in his hand and continued to follow the brothers closer.
"Boom, boom, boom......" Soon the second shelling thundered! There were some sparse fruit trees around, and he wanted to run under them to hide.
Stones and iron eggs whirred in the air, and from time to time there was a scream, and the surrounding area was empty. At such times, on the defenseless ground above your head, it is like a hailstorm and a person is still standing in the field, and he just wants to hide.
I don't know how long later, suddenly the strings of the bow and arrow in front of me "crackled", which was much denser than the bow and arrow drawn during training, like a large area of summer rainstorm.
The sound of strings is heard by one's own archers pulling their bows, but the rain of arrows whizzing in the air is the arrows fired by the enemy!
The helmets around him "jingled" like iron, "Ah! A shout was heard not far away, and a soldier fell on his back. Then Liu Dagen heard a loud cry next to him, and his ears were ringing loudly, and he turned his head to see that the brother on the left had an arrow feather nailed to the door, dropped the spear, and the man fell. Liu Dagen smelled a smell of blood.
For a moment, Liu Dagen's mind seemed to be blank, and the first thing he thought of was the companion's daughter-in-law. Because the two daughters-in-law often talk together when they wash their clothes, the family lives very close. Can a person live for so many years and disappear all of a sudden?
After a while, the archers in front formed a column and ran back from the gap on both sides of the hundred-household team. At the same time, the sound of "bang, bang......" burst out in all directions. White smoke filled the crowd, and the pungent smell of gunpowder made some people cough.
Liu Dagen almost didn't know what was happening in front of him, and he could only see fires flickering everywhere from the cracks in the crowd.
"Deputy hundred!" "Liu Laohan ......"
Liu Dagen followed the sound and turned his head to look, and saw two sergeants dragging Liu Laohan to sit under a dead tree. Liu Laohan covered his abdomen with one hand, and his eyes were still open, but that hand was full of blood.
The recruits of the entire Hundred Households team knew Liu Laohan, not only because he was a military general, but also because the old man loved to brag about the various wars he had experienced and had been to many places. Liu Dagen was shocked, because he thought that Liu Laohan would not die, after all, he had come back to life after so many battles, and he was old! But arrows and firebolts don't have long eyes at all!
When Liu Dagen was still staring, a shout suddenly came: "King Han is our king!" ”
Yin Desheng raised his Yanling sword and shouted: "The Han army will win!" ”
"Victory!" The shouts of the army were deafening. Then countless people shouted "kill"!
The leather drums were pounding rapidly, as if urging the people to rush to kill at once. Liu Dagen grabbed the wooden pole tightly with both hands, and walked forward with the people around him.
Liu Dagen had already vaguely seen the enemy soldiers on the opposite side in the back! Where the smoke of gunpowder filled, the enemy front spread like a flood, and there was no end in sight to the left and right, and there were people in front of them!
After a while, there was a noise in front of me, and the sound of clanging weapons, shouts of killing, and screams resounded through the heavens and the earth. The two armies approached, and the spear was as dense as a sorghum stalk. Liu Dagen was in the middle of the phalanx, and he had not yet encountered the enemy soldiers, but he saw that the brothers in front of him had suffered many casualties. Most of the acquaintances he knew were farmers in the guard's house, and their familiar faces were all bloody, and they were hideous and terrifying on the ground.
Liu Dagen shouted for some reason, but the surroundings were noisy, and no matter how he shouted, he couldn't stir up a little wave. He was so scared that he actually felt that he was going to die soon, and he just wanted to run away immediately. But there were people all around, and he seemed to be stunned, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Right now, there is a large group of people with knives and guns, stabbing people like crazy! Liu Dagen's skin and flesh are numb.
Somehow, many people in front of them began to run back desperately, squeezing into the crowd. In an instant, Liu Dagen's team of 100 households became a mess, and they all turned around and started, and the queue immediately dispersed. Baihu Yin Desheng scolded, and an unknown voice shouted: "Those who escape from the battle, die!" ”
However, no one could stop everyone from leaving this terrible place, and when Liu Dagen saw that everyone had run away, he did not hesitate to flee. I stumbled on my feet, fell twice, and almost fainted by my own people.
"Ahh Ah......h He quickly climbed up the slope from which he came, and saw a faster sergeant hiding behind a dead tree, clinging to the tree in a frightening manner.
Liu Dagen opened his mouth wide, ran up the slope in one breath, and saw a few routs under the eaves of the house on the slope, he didn't think much about it, and ran over. Maybe people can't help but want to huddle when they are overwhelmed.
The spear in his hand disappeared at some point, and he stood under the eaves panting and staring at his eyes. It was like a dream just now, he didn't know what he was doing, it seemed that he hadn't done anything, not even a single hair of the enemy soldier. Barely in front of the enemy, the men on their side had already dispersed.
Liu Dagen's team of 100 households collapsed the fastest, and at this time, the crowd under the hillside was still fighting. Where the two armies met, it was already a mess, swords and guns waving and shining in the sun. The noise was a murky mess, interspersed with the sound of metal colliding and chords; It's as hard as a stone in a muddy flood.
At this moment, a large group of officers and cavalry rushed from behind the battle formation, and the roaring hooves of horses joined the noise of the battle, and the scene under the hillside became even more noisy; There were a large number of Han cavalry on the slope of Sajinba, but they were still standing motionless next to the horses.
It didn't take long for the large phalanx of the Han King's army to be chaotic at the foot of the hill like a collapsed pile of sand, and the crowd quickly broke up behind. The officers and soldiers rode together and chased up the hillside on this side.
"He's a mother!" Suddenly, a loud scolding came, and it turned out to be Baihu Yin Desheng, who came over with a group of people. Yin Desheng scolded, and then pointed to the people under the eaves, "Didn't the old man tell you to ask for a beheading when you escaped?" It's really good to cut off your head, I've seen it with my own eyes, it's not to scare you! You people are the first to run and make the old man miserable! ”
Liu Dagen hung his head helplessly, he didn't know what he had done wrong. At that time, everyone ran away, and if he didn't run, he would definitely die! So many acquaintances have turned into dead bodies, Liu Dagen watched and didn't believe that he would be any different.
"Line up!" Yin Desheng shouted, "Mr. Wang Qian said, the rest of us will reline and rush to the front, make up for the merits, and he will intercede for us." ”
Several people under the eaves obediently stood in a row, joining the dozen or so people brought by Yin Desheng. Yin Desheng looked at it for a while, walked up to Liu Dagen, and handed over the Yanling knife in his hand: "Take it!" ”
Liu Dagen had no choice but to grab the handle of this waist knife with both hands.
A group of twenty or so people ran towards the edge of the hill. Soon met Yin Baihu, the person who called "Mr. Wang Qian", a very young offspring, estimated to be younger than Liu Dagen.
Wang Qian said: "You are spearmen? Do you see the three rows with the firearms, stand behind them in a sparse formation! Obey the orders of the hundred households next to you, take another step back, and kill them all! ”
Yin Desheng hugged his fists and said: "Order!" ”
Liu Dagen and the others ran over with Yin Desheng and stood behind a large group of sergeants holding bronze firearms. The sergeants with the muskets had three long rows, the first squatting on the slope, the second on the slope, and the last on the dam above.
There are people in front of it, and there is a steep hill in front of it; Liu Dagen was on top, and he still couldn't see the enemy troops below. I only heard the shouts of killing and the roar of horses' hooves, and it was getting closer and closer.
The bronze firearm had a wooden handle behind it, and the sergeants in front of it held the handle under their armpits with one arm, and held the fire stick in one hand to light the fuse, and held it with both hands, similar to the posture of holding a spear.
"Bang bang...... the sound of a large area of fire in the three rows exploded, and the white smoke filled the crowd, and it was impossible to see the scene five steps away in an instant. As soon as the firecrackers were finished, they turned around and ran back towards the gap between the phalanxes.
A voice shouted, "Spearman, forward!" ”
Suddenly, a sergeant squeezed over from both sides at the same time, and the row of people where Liu Dagen was located became dense, and everyone walked forward together. When Liu Dagen walked to the side, the military general shouted at everyone to stop.
Now Liu Dagen saw the enemy soldiers, and the steep slope was full of people! The cavalry on horseback and the infantry on both hands and feet were crawling hard, completely ignoring the wounded soldiers who were screaming and crying.
The sound of strings sounded, Liu Dagen looked up, and a black-dotted arrow flew down the hill from his head. There was another scream below.
The enemy infantry finally climbed to the side of the slope, the brothers of the Han Wangjun took the spear and poked it down, Liu Dagen held a waist knife, which could not be reached at all, he could only wave it in front of him, hoping that the enemy's spear would not stab his side.
Liu Dagen didn't touch anything, but soon saw the enemy soldiers turn around and retreat down the hillside.
At this time, I heard the shouting of a military general not far away, and the sergeants with fire guns on both sides of the phalanx of the hundred households rushed forward.
Liu Dagen's mind was like a mess of paste, as if the whole land was fighting, and he could only follow the people around him.
