Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

The iron bucket array can effectively resist the arrow array, but in this way, more than 4,000 county soldiers led by Cen Peng are also surrounded by more than 10,000 Chungling legions.

The two sides confronted each other for a meal, and suddenly a horse came out of the camp of the Lingling army, and the knight on the horse was burly, rugged-looking, with no weapon in his hand, and a sword hanging from his side. This is the chief general of the Chungling Army, Liu Xuan.

"I'm Liu Xuan, please General Cen come out and speak!" After urging the horse to take a few steps forward, Liu Xuan shouted loudly at the iron bucket array of the county soldiers.

After a short time, a crack appeared in the iron bucket array, and then, Cen Peng, who was holding a three-pointed and two-edged knife, strode out of the array.

The two of them stopped at a distance of about ten meters, Cen Peng raised his eyes and stared at Liu Xuan, his eyes were deep and cold, and he said faintly: "Liu Xuan, you are bold and reckless, raising troops to rebel, do you know that this is a capital crime of extermination?" ”

Cen Peng and Liu Xuan had met in Xinye before, and they had fought side by side, fighting the Green Forest Army in Pinglin and Xinshi together. Hearing Cen Peng's accusation, Liu Zhuo smiled indifferently and said: "The reckless thief is mediocre, perverse, causing chaos in the world, and cruelty to the people

Great cause, what's wrong? ”

Cen Peng raised the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand, pointed the tip of the knife directly at Liu Jiu on the opposite side, and said in a condensed voice: "The Tao is different, don't conspire with each other!" There's not much more to say between us, just see the real chapter on the sword! ”

"Cen Peng, you kid is really afraid of you when I am the pillar of the Heavenly Capital?" With an angry roar, Liu Ji dragged the Spring and Autumn Broadsword out, and Deng Feng followed closely behind, holding a spear, and also walked out of his own camp. Liu Xuan raised his hand and stopped Liu Ji and the others, he looked at Cen Peng and said meaningfully: "General Cen is very admired for his personality, talent and even integrity!" The reckless thief is about to die, and the court is already full of holes, why should General Cen return

Obsessed, do you really plan to do a martyrdom for the reckless thief? Cen Peng suddenly laughed on his back and said, "One horse is not a saddle, and a loyal minister is not a second master!" Although I, Cen Peng, dare not boast of being a man of high wind and bright festivals, I also understand the truth of 'eating the king's Lu and being loyal to the king'! Liu Xuan, in today's battle, or you die,

Or I'm dead! ”

Liu Xuan shrugged his shoulders and smiled, and said: "The Lu of the Eater, the matter of loyalty to the King, well said!" But where are your colleagues now? ”

His words made Cen Peng speechless.

According to the agreement, in today's decisive battle, the county army led by Liang Qiuci should have arrived in Xinye a long time ago, but until now, even the shadow of the county army could not be seen, only their Xinye county soldiers were fighting alone. Liu Xuan said quietly: "Now, Zhen Fu is in the county town, Liang Qiu is in Shuyang, and none of the two of them sent troops to aid Xinye, this is your 'food king's Lu and loyal to the king'?" Cen Peng, as the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and those who are confidants die! You see

Look at the current court, is it really the court you want, is it really worth your life for it? ”

"......" Of course not! Cen Peng is not a fool, as he serves in the county government, how can he not see Wang Mang's mediocrity, the incompetence of the imperial court, and the intrigue between officials.

It can be said that the Xinmang Imperial Court has long been rotten to the roots, and there is no cure. But even so, what can he do?

Surrender to the Chung Ling Army? That's impossible at all, don't say that he doesn't go to this level in his own heart, his family is in the county town, as long as he falls, none of his family members will survive, and they will have to be killed by Zhen Fu.

Cen Peng could not allow his life to be based on the death of his loved ones.

He took a deep breath, pointed at Liu Jiu with his knife again, and said loudly: "Don't talk about gossip, don't talk nonsense, in today's battle, I, Cen Peng, will accompany me to the end!" As he spoke, he shook the knife in his hand and turned back to the county soldier's iron bucket formation.

Liu Ji, Deng Feng and the others looked at Liu Ji and said in a gossipy manner: "General, Cen Peng is a foolish and reckless thief with an iron heart, and he has nothing to say!" ”

"Yes, General, give the order to attack! Today, our army is bound to kill all the reckless troops and cut off Cen Peng'er's dog head! ”

Cen Peng said this, trying to persuade him to surrender, it was no longer possible, and the next thing could only be to fight.

Liu Xuan said: "Good words are hard to persuade damn ghosts! Since Cen Peng is so stubborn, then, fulfill him, send, him, on, and on the road! ”

"Kill!" Hearing Liu Xuan's words, the surrounding generals shouted in unison.

"Roar-" The shouts of the generals made the tens of thousands of Chungling soldiers present shout in unison. Next, the Chungling army launched an all-out siege on the iron bucket formation of the county soldiers. In this battle, the two sides fought fiercely. On the county soldiers' side, the soldiers in the front row all held shields in one hand and spears in the other, and while blocking the opponent's attack, they stabbed their spears fiercely at the opponent. It's the same on the side of the Chung Ling Army, the soldiers in the front row

shield, the soldier behind stabbed forward with a spear. At the center of the battle between the two sides, the sound of shields clashing with shields, the muffled sound of spears piercing people's bodies, and the heart-rending shouts of the people were already resounding.

The large-scale battle between the enemy and us, without any opportunism, is to grit their teeth and push forward, fight, advance, and fight again, competing to see whose willpower is stronger and who can consume more. You stab me to death, I stab you to death, the people in the front row fall, and the people behind immediately come forward to fill the position, and the soldiers who fill the position are likely to not even have their shields raised, and they are stabbed through the heart by the spears coming from the opposite side, and then the people behind will follow

Continue to fill in the position.

On the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides fell in rows, and the corpses, shields, and weapons on the ground were stacked on top of each other, mixed together, and the blood gathered in one place and flowed like a river.

Such a battle is an incomparably difficult war of attrition for both sides.

The battle lasted for more than two hours, the two sides fought from morning to afternoon, more than two hours passed, more than 4,000 county soldiers fought until only about 1,000 people remained, and the casualties on the side of the Chung Ling army also exceeded 2,000.

The corpses around the county soldiers' iron bucket formation were no longer covered with a layer on the ground, but had been built up so high. Seeing the sun setting, Liu Xuan ordered the whole army to suspend the attack, let the soldiers rest and recuperate, and readjust their own array. Remove the curves with heavy casualties in front of them in waves, and top the curves that have no casualties in the rear again and again

to the front.

In such a war of attrition, the side with more people naturally has a huge advantage.

On the side of the Chungling Army, you can change it one by one, but the county soldiers can't change it at all, and some songs, originally five hundred people, have been fought to less than fifty people.

The battle has reached this point, and the remaining more than 1,000 county soldiers are on the verge of despair. More than a dozen soldiers walked up to Cen Peng, knelt down on one knee in unison, intervened to give salutes, and choked up with tears: "General Cen , there are only more than 1,000 brothers left in our army, and the Chungling army ...... There are nearly 10,000 people, and we ...... this battle We have

Beat it down! At this time, Cen Peng, covered in blood, couldn't tell which ones were his own and which were the enemy's, he poked the three-pointed two-edged knife on the ground, held the knife in one hand, looked around at the many soldiers kneeling on the ground, and asked: "You guys, do you want me to go."

Surrender of the thief? ”

"General Cen!" One of the soldiers raised his head and said with tears streaming down his face: "It's not that we are greedy for life and afraid of death, but we want to find a way to live for the remaining brothers!" ”

As he spoke, many of the soldiers standing around him began to cry, and then one fell to one knee.

Cen Peng looked around at everyone, sighed softly, and said, "Get up!" Wait, get up! ”

"General Cen!"

"The brothers who can hold on to the present are all good, your duties have been fulfilled, you want to find a way to live for yourself, there is nothing wrong with it, now, you can go and surrender to the rebels, I will not stop you." Cen Peng said softly.

His voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear.

When everyone heard this, they all showed surprise on their faces, raised their heads one after another, and looked at Cen Peng excitedly. A soldier hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "General Cen, what ...... What about you? ”

"Me?" Cen Pengle was happy, he narrowed his eyes, turned his head to look north, at this time, he really hoped that the banner of the county army could suddenly appear in his field of vision, but unfortunately, it was a delusion, and it was even more extravagant.

He said faintly: "We have different responsibilities, you can descend, but I must not descend!" In this battle, there is no chance of winning, and if you can fight so far, it is all for you! ”

Hearing this, the faces of the county soldiers changed greatly.

Cen Peng continued: "My duty to defend the city has been fulfilled, and the next step is to break through to the outside. If there are brothers who are willing to surrender to the rebels, I will not stop them, and if there are brothers who are willing to break through with me, we will fight the rebels again today! ”

Everyone who was originally kneeling on the ground stood up one after another, looked at each other, and then everyone intervened in unison to salute, and said in unison: "I am willing to follow the general, fight to the death, and break through to the outside!" "Obviously they are in a desperate situation, obviously they are all newly recruited recruits, but when Cen Peng decides to break through, even if people only see a glimmer of hope for success, no one has chosen to quit and surrender, and people are willing to follow Cen Peng to the death.

Fight to the death with the Chung Ling army.

This is Cen Peng's personality charm and strong appeal.

In the evening of the same day, when the sky gradually darkened, the Chung Ling army had not launched an attack, but the county soldiers began to counterattack first, and the county soldiers led by Cen Peng chose to break through to the north.

This battle was fought until it was dark, and in the end, Cen Peng really fought his way out of the encirclement of the Chungling army and successfully broke through, but the more than 1,000 county soldiers who followed him, in the end, there were less than 100 people left.

In the Battle of Xinye, more than 4,000 county soldiers were wiped out, and only Cen Peng with less than 100 people was lucky to break through and flee all the way to the north.

Although he failed to capture Cen Peng in the end, he successfully captured Xinye, which was enough to make the officers and soldiers of the Lingling Army excited.

At present, the six counties of Caiyang, Tongling, Dengxian, Chaoyang, Huyang, and Shandu captured by the Chungling army are not as important as a new field when they are taken together. Taking Xinye, is equivalent to taking the southern hub of Nanyang, attacking and retreating, and laying a material foundation for the Chungling army, Xinye County, is to have grain, to have people, to have minerals, and then, the Chungling army can be completely self-sufficient, producing various strategic materials.
