Chapter 323: Bloody Battle in the Bamboo Cage
Everyone agreed with a bang, and there was a solemn look on their faces that they looked at death as if they were at home, and in this situation of life or death, no one had any other choice.
Li Yi patrolled everyone with his eyes, and saw that all of them were already blood-stained clothes, and they were all tired from the morning's battle, looking at their bloodstained faces, Li Yi's heart was not a good feeling, these brothers who went to the soup and fought bloody battles with the opportunity to turn around, at this critical juncture, I don't know how much sacrifice they have to pay.
However, there is no real gain without sacrifice and dedication, this is the price of the final victory, and now there is no choice but to move forward.
Li Yi observed the surrounding situation, selected an area with a relatively dense number of enemies, and divided everyone into two teams, one team was led by me and Lin Jue, Lin Ju, Lian Jun and others, and went straight into the battle group to help his side; The other team, led by Zhuang Qian, Yue Chang and others, on both sides of the gap near the mountain road, resolutely outflanked the past, caught the enemy by surprise, or could receive unexpected results.
Now that the assignment had been decided, everyone was in place, and in a deafening shout of killing, our two teams of men and horses swooped down the hillside and fanned out the enemy.
The enemy, who was gradually gaining the upper hand and had almost firmly surrounded our officers and men in front of him, suddenly saw our troops swarming, and for a time they could not make sense of what our army was doing, and the formation was suddenly in confusion. At the moment of hand-to-hand combat, some of the enemy troops fled in a hurry, towards the gap in the mountain road.
I took the lead, rushing to the front side by side with Lian Jun, and with the help of a condescending advantage, I killed one of the enemy soldiers in the lead with one sword, and Lian Jun also exerted the power of the Ze Sheath Treasure Knife to the extreme, and instantly cut down two enemies. The rest of the crowd rushed into the battle group desperately, and a dozen enemies were unable to react, and the corpses were immediately on the spot. On the other side, Zhuang Qian and Yue Chang also made smooth progress, relying on their unparalleled thunder momentum, they quickly dealt with the enemies on the periphery, and the situation on the battlefield had changed significantly. Our previous officers and men were greatly encouraged, and one by one they rose up bravely and launched a counterattack against the enemy, constantly compressing the enemy to the gap.
At this time, a fierce and abnormal enemy officer, who had just killed a soldier in Yunnan, saw Li Yi's team rushing into the battle group, which reversed the situation on the battlefield.
But under the enemy's long-term battle, he was already exhausted, and the Pu knife in his hand was handed to Li Yi, and after being blocked by Li Yi's Pu knife with both arms, he suddenly spun and fell to the ground, and then Li Yi didn't wait for him to react, a windmill-like turn and swept away, and actually cut into his waist horizontally, cutting him into two pieces.
The rest of the enemies had already been frightened by Li Yi's majestic performance, and there were still people who dared to approach him, and the blockers were invincible, and they fled outside the battle circle one after another. Everyone was more imposing, and even Jian Zheng's officers and soldiers who had been tired from the battle for a long time also chased the enemy and slashed and killed, and for a while, the screams in the field were endless, and the enemy was all frightened, and they only hated the lack of two legs, and desperately fled towards the gap.
This continuous and fierce siege and annihilation caused the enemy to leave hundreds of corpses behind, and the rest fled beyond the valley mouth in a hurry. Although the enemy's follow-up forces continued to intensify their onslaught, these newly arrived living forces in Yunnan resolutely held the narrow passage at the mouth of the valley, making it difficult for the enemy to move an inch.
Although after repeated attacks, he was never able to move forward, and finally had no choice but to withdraw from the valley and send more people to find opportunities to infiltrate, and the rest gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
After the war subsided for a short time, Li Yi finally saw Jian Zheng, who was covered in scars. Jian Zheng's eyes immediately turned red when he saw Li Yi's arrival, and this man, who had been fighting bloodily for several hours, choked up and said: "Dashuai, why did you come here in person, it's too dangerous here, you still want to sit in Ningzhou!" ”
Li Yi gently patted Jian Zheng's shoulder, and said with emotion: "There is no problem in Ningzhou for the time being, we will go deep into the city of Ningzhou to annihilate all the enemy troops, and we have captured more than 2,000 people." At present, Pingyang Pass can also withstand this situation. ”
"Aside from eliminating some of the enemies who have infiltrated us, this is the only place that will be the key to our final victory, as long as we hold on to this place desperately, the enemy will have nothing to do. When our reinforcements arrived one after another, holding on to several key routes, the enemy could only look at the mountains and sigh. ”
Jian Zheng nodded and said, "Alas! What the marshal said is extremely true. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fought with the enemy for the valley of this bamboo cage ditch. It's just that our reserve forces are really thin, and we can only hold on to them for a while, and I'm afraid that we won't be able to do it after a long time, so we still plan early. ”
Li Yi nodded gloomily and said: "I have already arranged for reinforcements to be drawn from all over the place, let Master Lin dispatch it in the center, and mobilize all the available troops from all the guards, and strive to complete the soldiers here as soon as possible, of course, the logistics must also keep up as much as possible." ”
"You have been fighting for a long time, and I am afraid you are exhausted. If they are not repaired in time, I am afraid that these fragile screens will not last long. ”
At this time, Zhuang Qian, Yue Chang, Lin Ju, Lin Jue and others, with all the capable officers and soldiers, while resisting the enemy's attack, took the opportunity to carry the boulder, and it took more than half an hour to finally close the valley mouth. The boulder pass was seven or eight meters high, and with the tight defense, the enemy could not take a step forward in a short time.
I can finally catch my breath. The big guys had been fighting bloody battles since before dawn, and now it was the afternoon, especially the officers and men of the Ningzhou battalion who had arrived in advance, one by one, they were tired and tired, hungry and thirsty, and they had no strength at all.
Except for the personnel who took turns guarding Taniguchi, some of them began to simply tie the wounds of the wounded, and the others were lying on the ground, panting heavily, and they had no strength to move a minute.
Although Li Yi's physique is much stronger than all of them, the consumption of the human body by the war is undoubtedly huge, and he has been fighting with knives and guns all morning, almost no respite, even his iron body can't stand it!
Li Yi was about to ask people to find a water source, first moisten everyone's throats and intestines, so that they could have the strength to wait for Ningzhou to deliver food and water.
