Chapter 211: Pursuing Victory
It was only at this time that Xiao Tianjian breathed a long sigh of relief, and after putting away his monoculars, he shouted: "Liu Bao! ”
I saw that Liu Bao, who was covered in blood, rushed over from the side of the wall when he heard the sound and shouted: "The end will be there!" ”
Xiao Tianjian said to Liu Bao arrogantly: "Liu Bao, do you still have the strength to kill with me?" ”
At this time, Liu Bao didn't care about anything, he didn't care about the few battle wounds on his body, and shouted with his chest: "The last general is willing to die for the general!" ”
"Good! Then leave it to the brethren of the barracks to take care of, and the four battalions will go down the mountain with me!" ”
I only heard the hundreds of soldiers who survived the four battalions cheering in unison, and after a short time they gathered under the walled gate, Xiao Tianjian turned over and got on his horse, lifted his big gun, knocked the horse's belly with both feet, and took the lead in killing out of the mountain gate.
Soon after Xiao Tianjian led his troops to kill the Lotus Village, Wang Chengping's cavalry team hiding in the mountains also killed their hiding place and went to the flank of Zuo Guangxian's department, although they only had less than 300 people, but they were the strongest mobile troops on the entire battlefield, and the impact on the battlefield could not be ignored, which made the already exhausted officers and soldiers even more panicked.
As soon as Wang Chengping led his troops to kill, he stabbed a knife into the soft underbelly of the already completely chaotic Zuo Guangxian's officers and troops, and tore a big hole in the flank of Zuo Guangxian's department like rolling soup and pouring snow.
This battle has been fought until the sky is completely dark, it is basically over, the Xingtian army with a small number of troops, the momentum of the rainbow will be Zuo Guangxian nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses to kill a wolf rushing to the pig, all over the mountains and wilderness to escape, the chaotic army Zuo Guang first with a horse, only with a small number of family Ding will escape from the camp at the foot of the Lotus Mountain, all the way without looking back to go straight to the direction of Qinshui County to escape, he set up at the foot of the Lotus Mountain The big camp was also completely controlled by the Xingtian Army.
After the evening, Xiao Tianjian ordered the collection of troops, and handed over the matter of clearing the remnants of the officers and soldiers to Orion to do, and he kept gathering the soldiers together, leaving the barracks and the juvenile battalion to guard the lotus village, clean up the battlefield, and he personally led the remaining second battalion and the fourth battalion, mixed together and killed the Shuangfeng Village in the east overnight.
Just when Zuo Guangxian was defeated in Lotus Village, Shuangfeng Village also launched a life-and-death struggle, Xu Dingguo and Hu Dawei did not dare to slack off after receiving Wu Fu's reprimand, and Zuo Guangxian made the same determination to lead an officer and army that day, and launched the most ferocious attack on Shuangfeng Village after coming here.
Waves of officers and soldiers were constantly filled outside the gate of Shuangfeng Village, and the two of them personally went into battle to supervise the battle, retreating and killing without forgiveness, forcing the officers and soldiers to risk their lives to attack Shuangfeng Village one after another.
And this time, they also took out their old books, and basically filled the elite generals on the battlefield, hoping that this battle could tear apart the Shuangfeng Village and completely solve the stubborn enemies hiding in the village.
At first, Zhao Erdon, who was responsible for guarding the gates of the two villages, and the two battalions of township barracks under the command of Jiang Cheng could still support it, but when the battle reached noon, the attack of the official army was too fierce, after all, the township soldiers were township soldiers, and the level of training was far less than that of the regular army of the Xingtian Army.
So the commander of the village in the command of Li Xuanzhu led three battalions of soldiers, divided the troops to reinforce the two walls, almost the people who can fight, have climbed the wall, and the official army in the Shuangfeng village launched a life-and-death struggle, this battle from dawn almost to dark, Xu Dingguo also sent two strange soldiers, from two seemingly difficult to climb the location of the Shuangfeng village launched two side attacks, if not by the village in the post in time to find out, the Shuangfeng village was almost captured by Xu Dingguo.
Fortunately, many craftsmen in the village are also young and strong people, and in the afternoon, some craftsmen also picked up the guys, and were led by Zhang Chao to reinforce some dangerous places, and held there to the death, so that Xu Dingguo's surprise attack finally fell short, and failed to break through the Shuangfeng Village.
Xu Dingguo's successive offensives were completely repelled by Li Xuanzhu and others, and the official army was almost unable to move an inch in the face of such a wall, and it can be said that it did not achieve any results at all except for paying a large number of casualties.
The whole Shuangfeng village has almost become a human slaughterhouse, countless corpses are piled up layer upon layer under the wall, almost every depression of the wall, are filled with the corpses of officials and soldiers, human blood almost merges into a stream along the slope, and the air is filled with an extremely strong smell of blood, which is disgusting.
The wall of Shuangfeng Village is like a monster that devours life, constantly devouring the lives of the officers and soldiers, no matter how many troops the officers and soldiers invest, they have never been able to grab the wall, as for the door of the wall, it is even more impossible to even think about it, the side of the gate can not let them carry the log to hit, every attack, the officers and soldiers in addition to leaving a large number of corpses, almost can not achieve any results at all.
In this way, Xu Dingguo was also completely deflated, and couldn't help standing outside the Shuangfeng Village, looking up to the sky and sighing, seeing that the sky was dark, he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
But before Xu Dingguo returned to the camp, a worse news came from the east gate, Hu Dawei was in the afternoon battle, angry and corrupt, and finally couldn't bear to go into battle in person, but at the east gate of Shuangfeng Village, he was directly hit by the Xingtian Army's bird gun, and was seriously injured and carried down.
After a day of fierce fighting, the casualties of the officers and soldiers of the Xu Dingguo Department were very heavy, and in one day's effort, he and Hu Dawei lost more than 3,000 soldiers, such a fiasco was a very heavy blow to the morale of the officers and soldiers, and the morale of the officers and soldiers when they collected the troops and returned to the camp can be said to be extremely low, and a team of officers and soldiers carried the corpses of their robes or the wounded weakly, and slowly returned to their camp.
The weather in February is still very cold, after this period of fierce fighting, the officers and soldiers can be said to be not eating and sleeping well, hiding in thin tents at night, one by one is shivering, where is like the soldiers and generals of the Xingtian Army, in addition to the sentry posts left behind, the rest of the people can hide back in the warm barracks beautifully, roast the fire to keep warm, nearly a month of war, these officers and soldiers under the command of Xu Dingguo have suffered countless frostbite, some officers and soldiers even froze their hands and feet, and it is estimated that even if they can go back alive, You will also be left with a lifelong disability.
Xu Dingguo never expected that they had so many troops, and they actually hit their heads in front of a small Shuangfeng Village, and now he no longer dared to despise this Xingtian army, and after returning to the camp, he summoned his generals to discuss what to do next.
The generals have already had the intention of retreating at this time, if they continue to fight like this, they estimate that let alone defeat the Shuangfeng Village, just such casualties, they can't afford it, some soldiers in the officers and soldiers are already dissatisfied with this, clamoring to go back, don't suffer this kind of bird crime here, if they force the officers and soldiers to fight again, then it may lead to a mutiny.
And Xu Dingguo is undecided about this, he is not without the idea of retreating, but it is clear that their current strength is far more than the thief army, if they are so hastily withdrawn, not to mention that Wu Fu can't spare him, I'm afraid the court will not let him go so easily, but don't withdraw the troops, the Shuangfeng Village in front of him is like steel poured iron, no matter how he attacks, it can't be shaken, the morale of the army has now fallen to the bottom, if they continue to attack, there is no chance of winning at all, not to mention that this time they came to Yangcheng locally, The local people fled one after another, giving them a strong wall and clearing the wilderness, so that they basically could not get any supplies in the local area.
The officers and soldiers have always fought not only by relying on the grain and straw supported by the government to sustain them, but in many cases they are more fierce than the exile army, and along the way they basically have to rely on robbing the common people to fill their own pockets, but now they are being dragged here, there are empty villages everywhere, there is no place to rob, and the officers and soldiers who cannot get the benefits have long been complaining, and they have to suffer from the cold here, and they have long wanted to fight it.
So Xu Dingguo couldn't make up his mind for a while, and discussed and discussed, but in the end they didn't discuss anything, so Xu Dingguo had to let his subordinates disperse, and decided to rest here for a few days before contemplating a plan to attack the mountain.
It's a pity that Xiao Tianjian didn't give Xu Dingguo a chance to rest this time, after the next battle of Lotus Mountain killed Zuo Guangxian's department, he immediately led his troops to rush to the aid of Shuangfeng Village overnight, after a rapid march in the middle of the night, in the early hours of the morning, he led the army to the vicinity of Shuangfeng Village.
At this time, the news of Zuo Guangxian's defeat has been brought to Xu Dingguo's camp, Xu Dingguo was woken up by his subordinates in the middle of the night, and after hearing the news that Zuo Guangxian's department was defeated by the Xingtian Army, he immediately panicked, he didn't expect that Zuo Guangxian, such a general, under the command of nearly 10,000 troops, besieged a small lotus village, not only did not be able to defeat the thief army's lotus village, but was broken by the thief army, killing a big defeat.
Xu Dingguo couldn't figure out why Zuo Guangxian was defeated so badly, and the defeated troops of Zuo Guangxian's department who fled back to his camp in Shuangfeng Village were all panicked and couldn't tell the situation of the enemy army, and they all exaggerated the strength of the enemy army and the fierceness of the thieves, so that Xu Dingguo couldn't figure out how many troops this thief army had.
