Chapter 262: Tragic Breakthrough 2
The battle is raging at the foot of the mountain, and the flag on the mountain is not moving.
Lu Shi took all the men and horses in the old camp to lie quietly on the ground, extinguished all the fires and torches, and covered the military flag, even the child's mouth was covered by the mother to prevent the slightest sound from coming out.
There was a burst of killing under the mountain, and the man with his mother-in-law was in the Black Tiger Army, and he couldn't help but worry about his man, and there was a faintly suppressed cry, but immediately there was a mother-in-law around him who whispered comfort, although the man who comforted the mother-in-law was also in the charging army.
Three piles of fires were lit on the hillock in the west, illuminating the entire position of the officers and troops in the west as if it were daytime, and there were soldiers in the shadows who were afraid that the fire would be extinguished, and they kept throwing firewood into the fire, so that the fire burned more and more.
This is the official army overcoming the night blindness of their own people, hoping to be able to fight conveniently when they charge the battle in Woniu Mountain, but fortunately, they have two months of tea treatment here, and they have overcome these to some extent. However, the enemy's fire made it difficult for him to lead the attack, and it was impossible to send someone to touch their approach and launch a surprise attack.
Now, almost all the horses have been assigned to the Heavenly Star, and there are less than a hundred horses left here, mainly for the charge, and they cannot launch a decisive assault on the enemy at all.
Look at the fierce battle under the mountain, lying in the grass Lu Shi's heart tightened for a while, those brothers were all using blood to attract officials and soldiers for their breakthrough.
Seeing that the big banner rushing left and right in the second and third lines of the official army's defense line, there were several opportunities to break through the encirclement and go, but they all gave up in vain, and the tears in Lu Shi's eyes rolled down like a river bursting its embankment.
A withered and old hand grabbed Lu Shi's hand tightly, and another slender and cold hand grabbed his other hand, there was no persuasion, only the warmth from those two hands.
Zhao Xing hid behind Lu Shi's step, and suddenly shouted softly and excitedly: "Look, look at the military division, the officers and troops in the west have finally moved, finally moved." In the soft shouting, he was so excited that he couldn't cry.
Lu Shi wiped his face and looked up, indeed, the layers of officers and troops in the west began to move, and in the sky-high fire, he clearly saw the movement of the officers and troops, at least five thousand, that is, half of the officers and troops were urgently transferred to the south.
Lu Shi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and suddenly got up and was about to attack, but his mouth was immediately covered by a big hand, it was the third uncle.
"Wait, wait." The third uncle said firmly.
This is a wise choice, wait a little longer, and wait until this border army has completely reached the south and completely hinged with the southern brothers, then it will be his best opportunity to attack.
But every minute of waiting, many brothers died on the battlefield.
Waiting, waiting hard, finally waiting for this group of officers and troops to fight with the brothers in the south, the brothers in the south saw that the goal was achieved, broke through the siege with scars all over their bodies, and roared south with the officers and soldiers, this is the opportunity to attack.
"Sortie." Lu Shi stood up and issued the order firmly.
The simple deer was carefully removed, and the cavalry brothers pulled the war horses out carefully, they were a group of people who would die to the death, and they would face the fire of the officers and soldiers to open a way for the brigade to survive.
They were followed by less than seven hundred spearmen, the brothers who had been withdrawn from the First Battle of the West Exit, and this time they were going to fill the gap that the cavalry brothers had opened for them with their bodies, and widen the gap.
Followed by the new annexed army, these brothers have already entered the last battle, the cowardly have died, the cowardly and hesitant have surrendered or dispersed, and the rest are the brothers who are willing to join the Woniu Mountain, they will use their flesh and blood to form a wall on both sides of the passage that must not be defeated, forming a corridor through which the old and weak of the cottage pass.
Behind them were five hundred archers, who held their longbows tightly and carried long arrows weighing sixty or seventy pounds on their backs, who would support the cavalry brothers in breaking through at the first time.
Behind them, there are thousands of old and weak women and children in the cottage, as well as the student soldiers of the children's regiment, the women's army, and behind them, there are 2,000 heavy soldiers, who will block the crazy pursuit of the officials and soldiers after everyone passes, and protect the whole village from entering the mountains safely.
Every group of people passed in front of Lu Shi, and Lu Shi gave up his hand and said sincerely: "Take care, please." β
It wasn't until a slender figure dressed in fiery red pulled a war horse to Lu Shi that they all said together: "Take care." Then he watched, and said nothing, until the slender figure turned and strode into the rolling torrent.
Zhu Tie was arranged in the front army, as a sharp arrow, to lead the charge in front of him, and was assisted by Zhao Xing.
The rear team was completely handed over to Lu Shi. The rear team is more dangerous than the front team, and once the war is entangled and the officers and soldiers who are going south turn back, the latter will be under the greatest pressure.
Everyone resolutely opposed Lu Shi's decision, but Lu Shi insisted, there was no way, everyone had to agree, the twenty-four generals in front of Zhangjiabao wanted to stay and protect him, but those brothers had already been arranged to be the captain of the squad in each gun array, and Lu Shi must not let them leave their posts without permission.
Now, Lu Shi is surrounded by several guards assigned by the third uncle, as well as more than a dozen powerful brothers left by Zhao Blacksmith.
San'er and Wang Jian also wanted to stay with the teacher, but they were whipped by Lu Shi to remind them of their duties, but Lu Shi specially told San'er to take care of Xiaoya, and the child said angrily: "Our children's group is not a straw bag," and turned away.
Zhu Tie was very nervous, pulling the horse in the dark, cautiously moving forward, the original camp was three miles away from the defense line of the official army, and the fire could not shine here, but when he walked out of the middle of the road, there was already the figure of the official army patrolling, and further forward, the official army could hear the sound of horses' hooves and the figure of the crowd, at this time, Zhu Tie shouted: "Get on the horse, release the arrows - charge -"
More than 100 brothers turned over their horses together, shot a row of feathered arrows, then threw away their bows and arrows, picked up the broadsword weapon in their hands and shouted, "Kill-" and rushed to the enemy formation under the firelight.
The archers who were closely following behind him immediately stopped, opened their English longbows, and shot their long arrows into the clearly distinguishable array of officers and soldiers in the firelight, and for a moment the long arrows broke through the air, and the sharp whistle tore through the cold air, and then rushed into the group of officers and soldiers with a fiery breath of death.
The war in the south was urgent, and a large number of troops were transferred, but this did not make the remaining officers and troops nervous, but made them breathe a sigh of relief.
Today's fierce battle, let everyone see the difference of this bandit, those outlaws regardless of life and death, strict formation, sophisticated equipment, so that those governors standard battalions are dwarfed, and the unheard of long arrows, even more arrows and arrows, can not resist at all, after the first battle, everyone's hearts are bright, almost all of the officers and soldiers who fell on the battlefield are signed by the officers and soldiers, as long as there are a few nearly a thousand thieves, now I think about it, it still makes people's backs chill, now, the thieves go south, although they have no chance to cut off people's heads and make meritorious contributions, But there is no more to fight against those thieves who are almost not human. Military merit is to exchange life for life, and without life, no amount of military merit is in vain.
At the beginning, everyone was still standing straight, staring closely at the dark place where the fire could not shine, vigilant in case there was a leak of thieves suddenly killed, but after a long time, there was still no movement there, and the sound of fighting in the south was getting farther and farther away.
So the little soldiers began to whisper to each other, and more veteran oils let the recruits around them be energetic, but they began to nap with a big gun, which is all exercised for many years, when standing guard, you can sleep peacefully with a big gun, if it weren't for the governor on the mountain, those veterans would have found a leeward place to sleep.
Although several junior officials came to scold and scold a few times, those veteran soldiers just tried to stand up straight, and said yes again and again, but they didn't even open their eyes, and fell asleep with their spears again.
"What sound?" A small soldier was still alert, and suddenly pricked up his ears and listened into the darkness, where it was darkness and nothing could be seen.
The veteran's cup was startled, opened his eyes, looked into the darkness, and then muttered, "What are you fuss about?" The wind and grass were blowing, and there were no thieves, and the thieves all went south. β
So he closed his eyes again, but he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and when he opened his eyes, the little soldier also opened his mouth to look at his chest, and there was a feathered arrow trembling on the old soldier's chest.
"Enemy, enemy, enemyβ" The soldier stammered and couldn't make a sound, but before a word could be uttered, an arrow pierced into his mouth with great accuracy, burying the word in his mouth forever.
There was no need for him to call the police again, an earth-shattering shouting suddenly broke out in the darkness, and the sound of horses' hooves like Chen Lei came in the darkness, and before the officers and soldiers could pick up their knives and guns, a group of wolf-like thieves had already jumped out of their horses, and with the cooperation of the long arrows that were whistling down, they appeared in front of everyone in an instant.
"The thieves have broken through, shoot." The lower-level officers and soldiers reacted one after another, and shouts and howls rang out.
As soon as it was dark, the officers and soldiers had already lined up in formation, and the gunpowder and lead that had already been filled by the fire commander were shouted in this life, and they immediately picked up the fire system, and then hurriedly played the fire sickle, blowing the fire eyebrows, there was a panicked, trembling hands and feet did not become a tall, while nervously constantly looking up at the thieves who were getting closer and closer, while desperately beating the flint, but the more nervous the more it failed, before his coals hit, the long arrows like rain shot them to the ground, in the confusion and crying of the official army, the thief's cavalry had already roared, A big knife or a spear would have put an end to their nerves.
Those officers and soldiers who lit the fire with coals did not have time to aim at this time, and when they raised their guns, the thieves had already rushed to the front, and the fire was almost on the chest of the thief, and it exploded, but when the thief was desperate, the weapon in his hand had already harvested the lives of this officer and soldier without hesitation.
The smoke of gunpowder rose, the fire burst like beans, the bows and crossbows shot out like flying locusts, but they all lost their marks, even if they shot into the team of thieves, those thieves were not afraid of death with feathered arrows howling and waving the weapons in their hands to kill the ranks of the officers and soldiers, and all of a sudden, the first team of officers and soldiers were rushed through.
