Chapter 906: Killing on All Sides
The emergency situation faced by Beiying happened so suddenly and unexpectedly. Moreover, the Persians who rushed in with shouts were all strong men of great height and strength, and they were especially fierce and invincible.
Almost immediately, the Han troops defending here began to suffer heavy casualties. The military forces on this side are already relatively weak, and once they are in such an unfavorable situation, it will be very difficult to gain the initiative. What's more, the enemy they faced was so ferocious.
The huge stone balls that the Persians rolled down brought about the burning of the fire. Several baggage storage facilities were also ignited, and flames rose and were difficult to control. The Han generals in charge here were furious, and if the defeat of this battle was started by him, he and his subordinates would become sinners through the ages, and they would never return to the Han realm again.
Perhaps, the only thing to do at this time is to work hard. The fireworks are intertwined, the sound of killing is shocking, and the two sides are close to each other, and it is the most brutal killing of each other from the beginning. At this moment, there is no need for those strategies and tactics, it is purely a contest of strength and courage.
However, to the surprise of the Han soldiers, their opponents were very different from those of the past. Not being afraid of death is only one aspect, the most terrifying thing is that everyone is like a crazy tiger, and the force sinks. And it seems that he has lost the pain, and as long as he does not hit the vital part, no matter how bloody he is, he still moves forward bravely, entanglement and fighting, until he dies of blood.
It is undoubtedly a nightmare to meet such an opponent. Even the heroic and warlike Han army had to be forced to retreat again and again, always in a defensive position. It is difficult to regain those lost advantageous positions in a short period of time.
The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and victory or defeat is often just because of a momentum that preempts people. However, a few thousand dead soldiers broke the strong barrier of the Han army camp. The Persian princes and nobles, who had taken command of the battle in an all-round way, were overjoyed, and all they had to achieve was nothing more than this situation.
The Persians immediately adjusted their operational disposition. 20,000 warriors were quickly reinforced, and they began to enter the northern camp of the Han army on a large scale from the breakthrough at the foot of Luojia Mountain in the northwest. Such a force has greatly exceeded the strength of the Han army defending here. The Persians, who had the upper hand, seemed to have victory in sight.
On the other hand, in the face of overwhelming attacks, the Han army guarding was struggling to support. Although many of their comrades died in front of their eyes, all those who had knives in their hands still wanted to use their own strength to redeem their decline. However, with the arrival of reinforcements from the Persians, this all became desperate.
The general of the North Camp guard looked up to the sky and sighed. He listened to the earth-shattering shouts in the distance, and knew very well in his heart that the last line of defense under his feet might soon become a place for them to shed their blood.
The general gritted his teeth and gave a death order to his men. From this moment on, everyone is not allowed to take a step back, the honor of the Han Empire is borne on everyone, even if it is difficult and dangerous, it must be maintained.
Just as a great wave meets a solid rock, the first wave of the fiercest battle takes place at this time. However, in just half an hour, the blood flowed like a river, soaking the earth. The North Camp Guard was martyred, and nearly a thousand soldiers died with him.
Guo Qicheng, who rushed to support on the order of General Su Jian, finally came one step too late. He also had the experience of fighting side by side with the North Camp Guards several times. Seeing his death with his own eyes, I couldn't help but be shocked and angry. Immediately shouted, the sword light bloomed, killed several people in a row, and launched a fierce fight with the Persian warriors.
More than 20,000 Persians rushed up like a tidal wave. The Han army was unable to stop their attack in the unfavorable situation of the first battle. After more than half an hour, the continuous casualties continued to retreat, and even Guo Qicheng, who led the army to support, was seriously injured and almost died.
Much of the North Camp soon lost control. Su Jian, who received the news, was about to send troops and horses to support again, but at this moment, the frontal attack suddenly began again. Obviously, the combined attack of the Persians had waited for the best opportunity, and how could they let it go!
Su Jian, who felt the huge pressure, had to send someone to convey the emergency order, so that the Han army in the fierce battle in Beiying could see the opportunity to act. If the situation is irreparable, then it is necessary to preserve its own strength and do not have to make unnecessary sacrifices.
In fact, even if he did not make such a decision, the Han army would no longer have the ability to turn defeat into victory and drive out the Persians who had come in by surprise and suffered heavy casualties.
Shouting to kill and shake the sky, the army is fighting. From the beginning of the hour to nearly noon, but in only half a day, the Persian offensive launched from the northwest and then due west finally came to fruition. The Han army of the Soviet Construction Army, which was forced to shrink, was already under the dangerous encirclement of the Persians.
Su Jian, who personally killed the enemy with a horizontal sword, wiped the blood on his face, and could no longer tell whether it was the enemy's or his own. If you count from the beginning of the expedition to the Huns, he is also a veteran of the battlefield. For so many years, I haven't encountered such a difficult situation.
The Persians are completely insane! The dead light that rushed up in front of him, and the one behind rushed forward and pounced one after another. Even he, who had never been afraid on the battlefield, felt his sword-wielding hand tremble a little. This is a terrifying momentum, and the soldiers of the Han army can not be afraid of sacrifice, but if they slash and kill each other face-to-face with a group of beast-like guys, they will undoubtedly be at a psychological disadvantage. And such an invisible influence will inevitably be related to the outcome of the war.
"Pass my orders, assemble the whole army, and defend the last line of defense! There must be no further step back. ”
Su Jian slammed the sword in his hand into the ground and shouted loudly, using this as a boundary. In any case, it can't be refunded. If his position is lost, then it is really possible that the momentum is gone, with irreparable and serious consequences.
You don't have to think about it to know that Li Ling, who is defending in the south direction, is definitely not in a much better situation at the moment. The entire Han army camp was attacked from three sides at the same time, and they could only fight each other, and no one had the time and ability to support anyone.
Perhaps, the life and death of the Western Expeditionary Army will be a crucial battle here. All the officers and men of the Han army who are aware of the situation no longer have any luck mentality. With their flesh and blood, they blocked round after round of frantic attacks of the Persians. Blood stains the earth, fighting for life.
General Su Jian's guess was not wrong at all. While he was in a bitter battle, Li Ling was facing a much more difficult situation than him.
The Persian princes and nobles chose to attack the target, but there was still some emphasis. The Persians, who had seen the power of the Wyverns, considered them to be the most difficult enemies to deal with and the most to be eliminated. Therefore, the dead soldiers who launched an attack in this direction were even more ferocious.
The Persians, who had concentrated almost half of their strength, had a clear goal, they wanted to take advantage of the favorable situation that the Han army could not exert the power of cavalry, and effectively kill and injure its combat effectiveness. Even if they can't all be annihilated this time, they will be mortally wounded.
To that end, they are well prepared. And the biggest weapon of killing is fire attack. It must be said that the Persian prince was very smart, and he quickly learned the essence of the Han army to help the war with fire. Moreover, it is ingenious that not only those powerful fireballs have been prepared in Luojia Mountain. In the direction of the main attack in the south, he also has something that he thinks is very powerful.
The former Persian Empire had a large cavalry corps. Although it has been wiped out now, there are still many war horses in many horse breeding bases. And this time, the large number of war horses that were collected no longer need to be used to charge into battle, they have a greater use to be used.
Thousands of horses were driven to the front before tens of thousands of Persian warriors attacked, and then the hideous Persians lit the blankets on their backs with torches, which were soaked in black fire oil and ignited. Soon, the frightened horses rushed straight towards the Han army camp with a long neighing and a ball of flames.
It is estimated that before using this method, the Persian prince probably had heard of the legend of the horse stepping on the company's camp. Therefore, he really wants to use his mind to make a more powerful legend. It's just a pity that he didn't know the whole story, let alone understand how strong the defensive line laid by the Han army was.
Relying on the favorable topography of Luojia Mountain, those large fireballs played a huge role and achieved the expected success. But here, if you want to break through the camp in the flat area south of the Han army camp, it is destined to be difficult to do so.
The galloping situation of thousands of horses is indeed very spectacular, and the momentum is even more unstoppable. The Persian princes and nobles, who had watched from above, watched as the moving flames formed a sea of fire, and all obstacles swept through. Those trench antlers were of no use at all. They couldn't help but burst out laughing. Surrounded on all sides, the goal of breaking through will be achieved immediately, and the Han army has become a lamb to be slaughtered, and it is impossible to escape.
However, the wild laughter immediately stopped. Because they saw from a high place that the sea of fire was still more than ten zhang away from the Han army, and they could no longer advance. The galloping horses crowded together, and in the midst of countless heart-palpitating screams, the place began to burn and boil.
"Your Royal Highness, it seems that we miscalculated this move. It is said that the Han army had something called barbed wire, which could be used for effective defense, and it was probably they that blocked the advance of the horses. ”
Someone next to him suddenly remembered and hurriedly reminded him. The Persian prince was tempted to draw his sword and cut this hindsight. However, at this time of emergency, we should not care about these things for the first time. He then ordered that the 40,000 Persian warriors who had already been ready to fight did not have to wait, and directly launched a strong attack on the defensive area of Li Lingbu.
"In addition, let the 10,000 dead soldiers who went around the river immediately attack from the east...... Hum! Can't think of it, right? That's my best move! ”
