Chapter 676: The whole army presses up
Smoke and dust rolling, rushing into the sky, shouting and fighting and screaming made the heaven and earth moved, countless soldiers fought the west bank of the Wei River, dumped flags, broken knives and guns, dying people and horses, dazzling blood, spread into a hell on earth, countless big feet, chaotic horses' hooves, let the earth of tens of millions of years, let this thick loess continue to tremble.
The soldiers on both sides have forgotten the reason why they are fighting, and the rest is just an instinct, the instinct to survive, if you don't kill each other, then the other party will kill you, that's all.
The counterattack on the right flank of the Chuang army made the brothers, who had already consumed huge physical strength, see the hope of victory, and once again burst out with unlimited attack power, allowing the footsteps that had been blocked by the official army to move forward again.
The battle formation of the officers and soldiers has begun to loosen, that battle line has begun to become bent, and the spirit of the officers and soldiers fighting in front of the coalition army has also begun to become fearful, and in the face of powerful opponents, they are no longer as fierce and fearless as before, their eyes have begun to drift, they have begun to look left and right, and they have begun to hide behind their companions.
Lu Shi and the others, who were standing behind the formation, saw the hope of breaking through the enemy formation, so they shouted loudly and cheered for their brothers, hoping to take advantage of this time to open the gap in one go, and join the Guotianxing and Dalang who rushed in and were fighting hard, as long as the two sides converged, then this battle, the army would basically be regarded as a victory.
Du Wenhuan and He Renlong have also seen such a scene and the battle situation, but they have seen it, but it does not mean that there is any way to deal with it, the reason is that they have run out of donkey skills, they have no troops to send, they, in order to deal with Lu Shi's attack, in order to trap the intrusive army that has long entered the joint camp, they have done their best, they have sent all their military strength, including the personal soldiers of each person who were originally to cherish and preserve, and they have "mobilized" almost all the masters. Now, the number of officers and soldiers on the entire battlefield has reached almost 100,000.
Of the two battlefields, one must be taken first, and then all forces must be mobilized against the other. It's the way they both see, the only way.
However, although the idea is very good, it is extremely difficult to implement.
Whether it is the attacking army advancing from the opposite side, or the cavalry of the invading army that has already converged and has more than 4,000 people, it is not a bone to gnaw, especially the cavalry of the invading army that seems to be alone in the enemy camp, and their combat effectiveness is even more amazing.
"Now, the key to changing the battlefield situation is to take down the trapped thief cavalry first." Du Wenhuan stared at the battlefield and judged with a frown.
He Renlong nodded in agreement with this analysis. As long as the trapped thief cavalry is taken, then the rescue of the thief brigade will lose the purpose of the first battle, then, their offensive will collapse, at least they will slow down, as long as they slow down, they can leave a period of time for their side to adjust, as long as the soldiers and horses used to besiege the thief cavalry are transferred, then it is not known who will kill the deer, at least, it can be consumed relative to the thief.
As long as the battle reaches the stage of consuming human lives, then, their own advantages will slowly appear, after all, on their own side, human life is the most worthless, and on the side of the thief, not only are not as many people as themselves, the most important thing, everyone knows that Lu Shi is the thief who cherishes the lives of their brothers the most, although he is full of wisdom, although there are countless means, although he has fought hard to create the current situation, but he is not a hero, he was born with a bodhisattva heart in this troubled world, and when it comes to fighting each other's lives, he is the first to give up, it will definitely be Lu Shi.
"But what are we going to do to destroy that gang of thieves?" He Renlong asked a very crucial question. Now, the army besieging the trapped thieves has completely relied on the army composed of the master, they actually don't have much combat effectiveness, or no combat effectiveness, their way to besiege those thieves is just under the big knife of the war team, the trenches dug out around the thief army, and the layers of rejecting horses erected, so that those thieves can't move half a step, it is not easy to do this, and they are still counting on them to destroy the thief army? It's not going to be easy to break up right away.
"yes. It is impossible to destroy them without a new force, but now that we have invested all our combat troops, where else can we find a living force? Du Wenhuan is also at a loss for such a problem.
"How about transferring the Zhang Jiajun who just went up to the front line?" A partial-side general guerrilla saw that the two commanders were at a loss, and immediately came up with an idea. Seeing that everyone looked at themselves like idiots, the general immediately explained: "We used the time that the death squad fought for, behind the blocking array, like besieging the trapped thieves, digging trenches and erecting horse rejection bunkers, as long as the thieves are temporarily blocked, we can draw out the Zhang family army that has just returned to the battlefield to encircle and suppress those trapped thieves." Then he craned his neck to look at the battlefield inside the camp that was still full of smoke, where the smoke and dust were not as dense as they had been, and they did not move as fast as they had been, and it seemed that the cavalry of the thieves had lost the speed and end of their assault, which was a good thing.
They are all old soldiers, and they all know that although the cavalry is born to be the nemesis of the infantry, once the cavalry loses its speed, the combat effectiveness is actually not as good as the cavalry, especially in the large array joint camp, those who have been fighting for a long time and have been exhausted by the cavalry, in front of the infantry who are more than them, there is absolutely no chance of winning, at this time, it is a good opportunity to solve them.
In fact, this partial general's proposal is indeed a good proposal, at this time, tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, this is indeed a good way, although the two walls are crumbling, but the wall on the bank of the Wei River can still hold out for a while, as long as the battle in the joint camp is resolved, then the side of the Wei River will be strengthened, and the battle situation will develop in their favor.
However, He Renlong's words completely dispelled everyone's delusions.
"So, once we break away from the thieves, what do we use to withstand the overwhelming rain of arrows from the thieves? That endless artillery bombardment? ”
yes, when it comes to the overwhelming rain of arrows? The endless artillery bombardment, everyone rose from the bottom of their hearts, and made themselves feel boundless cold from the inside out.
Yes, the current situation is that countless soldiers have exchanged their lives for the sake of mixing with the thieves and mixing them together, so that the thieves' fire and arrows have to stop because of the fear of accidentally injuring themselves, without the slightest bit of power, and once they get out of the way, then there will be another one-sided slaughter, if that scene appears, then the collapse is already a foreseeable result.
Now, the officers and soldiers have taken out all the methods they can think of and can come up with, and there is no more way.
For a while, the court officials and generals standing on the high observation platform were all speechless, so everyone could only look at the rolling battle group at a loss, and in their hearts, they all expected a miracle to appear, and a miracle to save this Ming who was already in a thousand holes.
The battle is still continuing, the shouting and killing on the battlefield is no longer loud and loud, filling the battlefield sky, only the howl of the wounded, only the sound of swords and guns colliding, only the muffled sound of swords and guns entering the flesh, but this is not the battle is nearing the end, but it is a more tragic performance on the battlefield, because all the people have no strength to shout, and the rest is only gritting their teeth, red eyes, you stab, I shoot a desperate fight, at this time, it is the most painful time.
The loosening of the official and military front made Lu Shi, who had always been nervous in his heartstrings, secretly breathe a long sigh of relief, especially when he saw the scene of his soldiers and brothers suffering heavy casualties, Lu Shi's heart was dripping blood, and he couldn't help but order to stop the attack.
However, now that the large array of officers and troops has been loosened, now, as long as the last strength is added, this battle can be completely won.
In fact, in the hands of Lu Shi, there are still the last two new forces, one is the student army, which is called the child soldiers in the army of thieves, and the other is the 20,000 new forces of masters tightly held in the hands of the third uncle, they have long been eager to try, and they have long wanted to join the war group.
Child soldiers? Lu Shi would never be willing to invest until he survived, although those children had pushed Wang Jian and Zhang Xiao to come to fight several times, although the training level of these children was definitely not inferior to that of their uncle.
In fact, if it wasn't a last resort, Lu Shi still didn't want to mobilize the master to fight, the master is the master, not a real soldier, although they have all gone through the simple training of each village, but, after all, there is no actual combat experience, once they are put into battle, their losses will be huge, it will be more than worth the loss, such a takeover, is what Lu Shi does not want to see anyway.
However, they are now needed, and they can also be invested, after all, in a pursuit battle that is about to begin, the casualties will be minimal, and Lu Shi also saw his own shortcomings, that is, in such a big battle with the official army, his own troops are obviously insufficient.
Now, he is facing only half of Shaanxi, when the official army transferred the elite east to the King of Qin, the local government hurriedly transferred the second-rate people from all over the country, or the coalition composed of people and horses who did not enter the stream, once they will go east in the future, or go south, then, what they are facing is not the poor people and horses now, the Ming Empire can mobilize tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of elite troops to deal with themselves, really at that time, all strategies are no longer useful in the face of absolute strength, Only a strong army is fundamental, and at this time, it is necessary to pull these future soldiers onto the battlefield, so that they can see blood in this pursuit battle without much damage, so that they can quickly become a strong army with combat effectiveness.
At this time, as long as the last straw on the camel's back is pressed, this war related to the fate of the whole of Shaanxi will be over.
The official army wants to turn the tables? Unless there is a miracle, but, at this time, can a miracle happen?
No, it's too late.
