Chapter 283: Bloody Flying Tiger Valley (II)
At Feihuyukou, the officers and men of the Daimyo Mansion fought extremely fiercely with the guards of the Liangshan Manor, and the improvised walled wall was already riddled with holes, and the corpses on the ground in front of it were piled up like mountains and rivers of blood, and the battle had reached a white-hot level.
Li was established in the rear of the camp of officers and soldiers, and his eyes were so red that he was almost dripping blood. He couldn't have imagined that 5,000 people would take turns attacking that thin line of defense, and in more than an hour, more than 1,000 people would be killed or wounded, and it would be difficult to advance an inch. He knew that Zhang Jing would not last long in the back, seeing that the sky was dawning, and if he did not break through before dawn, he would have no chance to escape, so he ordered viciously to several generals around him:
"Press all the manpower on it, the lord doesn't believe that those people are all beaten with iron!"
On the defense line of Liangshan Manor, the continuous high-intensity battles, the members of the two battalions were also extremely tired, and the casualties gradually increased.
Sun An had already entered the front line to participate in the battle in person, and when he saw the officers and soldiers on the opposite side assembling again, he knew that this might be the last hard battle, and whether he could survive it depended on the next half an hour, so he stood in front of the formation and shouted:
"Brothers! The officers and men are already dying, but their dying blow will be very fierce, our first and second battalions are the oldest teams in the manor, and we must not live up to the expectations of the petty officials, and we must not lose the face of the Liangshan escort. ”
"A good man has made a name for himself, right now! Do you have the faith to hold this pass? ”
"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”
As soon as Sun An's voice fell, a warm response immediately sounded on the battlefield, and his morale was suddenly boosted. At this moment, crowds of officers and soldiers poured in like a tide again.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Suddenly, the shouts of killing on the position of Liangshan Manor rang out like a shocking sound.
However, the combat effectiveness of the officers and men who fought to the death was also very amazing, and under their crowd tactics, the Liangshan defense line was full of dangerous situations. On the position of the second battalion, the captain Zhang Erqiang stood at the head of the platoon, he was red all over his body at this time, and he had become a bloody man, but he was still shouting the assassination order hoarsely, commanding the whole team to fight to kill the enemy. But at this time, a charge of the officers and soldiers opened a gap in the middle of the defense line, and the defensive formation was immediately a little messy, Zhang Erqiang was anxious when he saw this, and saw him shouting to the deputy next to him, "This is handed over to you!" Immediately led a few people towards that place.
At this time, he suddenly found that there was a situation on the defense line of the second battalion, and was about to order the reserve team to go up, but he saw Zhang Erqiang with a few people struggling to kill him, only to see that he was like a mad tiger, the gun was like electricity, and he stabbed down several people in an instant, and the surrounding team members were stimulated by it, fighting for their lives one by one, and in a moment, the open gap was slowly blocked.
This kid has finally matured! Sun An looked at this scene and couldn't help but say with relief. This Zhang Erqiang has always been a seedling he is optimistic about, but his personality is too stubborn, and he often offends people. At that time, Sun An was worried that he would not be able to get over it and would give up on himself, so he talked to him specifically for this reason. However, after observing him, he found that he was slowly changing, so he was sent to the officer training camp, and this time he returned to the camp before the war, and was mentioned in the position of captain. Today is his first battle as captain, and now it seems that his performance is qualified in both command and combat.
Just when Zhang Erqiang blocked the gap in the defense line of the second battalion, the position of the first battalion was in danger again. After Yu Sheng led people to the rear to block reinforcements, Liu Tang took on the heavy responsibility of command alone, and this battle was also his first battle after joining Liangshan Manor, so he attached great importance to it. The first battalion had 300 people taken away by the victory, so the mobile force was relatively small, and when the battle reached dawn, Liu Tang basically had no reserve force on hand. Under the frantic attack of the officers and soldiers of the Daimyo's Mansion, the defense line of the first battalion was also in danger, and at this time, seeing that the position of the second team was almost unbearable, I saw him running and shouting loudly among the wounded soldiers:
"Is there anything else that can move?"
"I can!"
Immediately, one of the team members responded to the call, only to see a thick gauze wrapped around his left arm, covered in blood.
Liu Tang saw that he was the deputy captain called Ren Chongyuan, it turned out that he was serving in the first battalion, and I heard Yu Sheng say that this kid's name was given by Mr. Wen for him, and he took the meaning of Ren Chongyuan, so he remembered it very deeply. However, this young man is competitive, training has always been very serious on weekdays, and today's battle is also very brave, so he was stabbed in the left arm just now, and just came down to bandage, and when he saw that there was a task, he immediately stood up again.
"It's good, and you deserve a good name from Mr. Wen."
Liu Tang praised it, and then rushed into the position of the second team with more than a dozen lightly injured people who stood up one after another.
Sun An, as the commander-in-chief of the position, has been paying attention to the situation of the first battalion, and when he leaves, he is equivalent to serving as the commander of the first battalion, he would rather the second battalion be more bitter than let the first battalion be disabled, otherwise he will not have the face to face the old brother of the first battalion in the future. At this time, he also sensed the danger of the first battalion, ordered Ma Lin, and immediately brought dozens of people to support.
However, the addition of dozens of people, although it temporarily stabilized the position, after all, it was a drop in the bucket, and after a while, the defense line was in many places. Just when the danger was born, there was a neat running sound outside the valley.
"Brother Katsu is back!"
Sun An wielded his iron sword and was rushing to the front of the battle, but as soon as he heard the familiar footsteps, he immediately knew that the old brother was back. Sure enough, the sound of a gong immediately sounded behind him.
"Brother Sun An, this place is handed over to me, you just have to go back to the second camp."
"Brother came just in time, what's going on over there?"
"I slaughtered a hundred, and the others all ran away."
While speaking, Ji Sheng had already led people to the front of the battle, and with the addition of more than two hundred new forces, the front immediately became stronger, and even the morale increased a lot.
Let's say that Luan Tingyu led the eighth cavalry battalion to pursue the officers and soldiers, but was blocked by the 3,000 people led by Zhang Jing in the middle of Feihuyu, and several attacks were stubbornly forced back. He was greatly annoyed, so he personally took the lead in the charge, but after all, the officers and soldiers were several times larger than himself, and several attacks were unsuccessful. I didn't feel that half an hour had passed, and seeing that the follow-up battalions were about to arrive, Luan Tingyu couldn't help but be anxious thinking that he was fighting independently for the first time, but he couldn't get all the results.
At this time, Huang Xin said on the side: "There are only two reasons why the officers and soldiers are fighting to the death, one is that the general is supervising the battle, and the other is that they heard that the valley mouth is blocked and there is no way to retreat, so they desperately resist. As long as you kill that general and give them another way to live, they will not fight to the death. ”
Luan Tingyu saw that it made sense, he immediately observed the position of the officers and soldiers, only to see that the place where the firelight gathered, surrounded by a cluster of people, thinking that it must be the place where the generals with the troops were located, he frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly had an idea, and immediately ordered Huang Xindao:
"There must be a place where the enemy generals are, stay in our team to raid over, if it can succeed, Brother Huang will shout to his brothers, those who surrender will not be killed, then the main general will be killed, and the army's morale will be unstable or can succeed."
"How can the Lord leave lightly, and I will lead the team to attack."
Huang Xin heard that Luan Tingyu was going to take the risk, but he didn't agree. But Luan Tingyu was willing to let him, so he immediately selected a hundred brave veterans, taught them face-to-face, and then collected the spears of the whole battalion, formed a triangular offensive formation, and personally took the arrows, riding horses to attack the officers and soldiers. When he arrived in front of the officers and soldiers, he saw Luan Tingyu shouting:
"Throw guns!"
In an instant, a hundred spears flew towards the place where the flames gathered, and a large number of people fell in response to the target. The camp of officers and men suddenly seemed to have been hit by a bomb, and for a time they screamed incessantly and became a mess.
"Kill!"
At this moment, Luan Tingyu seized the opportunity and stabbed in with a hundred cavalry like a sharp blade.
It is said that after Zhang Jing was left by Li Cheng, he knew that life and death were unpredictable tonight, although he blocked several attacks of Liangshan's team, but he didn't feel that it had much effect, he only hoped that Li Cheng's side would open the exit as soon as possible and retreat as soon as possible, otherwise he would have no possibility of holding when Liangshan's reinforcements arrived. Therefore, while constantly sending people to Taniguchi to inquire about the battle situation, he also protected himself tightly and kept it for his life.
However, to Zhang Jing's surprise, his move just exposed where he was standing. When he saw that Liangshan's team had gathered again, he said that he was the same as before, but unexpectedly, these people were unusual, and they threw a spear at the place where they were standing.
Zhang Jing was stunned, and then was pierced through the chest by a spear, and he was suddenly nailed to the ground by a huge inertia, and in his last consciousness, he thought: These people are crazy! I don't even want a weapon to save my life.
Luan Tingyu was stunned by the officers and soldiers, and led the hundred horsemen to tear apart the opponent's camp. At this time, Huang Xin led hundreds of people to follow up quickly, shouting neatly.
"The Lord will be dead! Those who descend will not be killed! ”
The death of the commander deprived the officers and men of a backbone, and the shouts of the Liangshan team made them shake again, and with the continuous expansion of the gap in the position, the confidence of the officers and men also continued to be lost. In the face of the blade-like cavalry, no one was willing to fight with their lives, and only a moment later, Luan Tingyu led the eighth battalion to plow the positions of the officers and soldiers in half and came out through the formation.
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
In the majestic shouts of the Eighth Battalion, looking at the defense line that had been torn apart, the desperate officers and soldiers no longer had the will to resist, and for a while they put down their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for surrender.
At this moment, in the valley behind, the fire was incessant, and the horses' hooves were dense.
It's dangerous! Fight for some and be seen as a joke by the brothers. Luan Tingyu secretly screamed in his heart that he was lucky, so he left Huang Xin to lead people to hand over the prisoners, and he immediately led his troops to the valley, he knew very well that the war there must be more tragic.
At the mouth of the valley of Feihuyu, the sky was already bright at this time, and the formation of the troops on both sides was already clearly visible. Li Cheng rode on horseback, looking at the opposite side, there were only more than 1,000 men, and his 5,000 soldiers could not be broken after attacking for an hour, and he couldn't help but scold his subordinates for being incompetent.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the valley, Li Cheng turned his head to see that it was the person he sent to monitor the position over there, and he knew that Zhang Jing was finished, and he seemed to have heard the footsteps of the pursuers, so he couldn't care about anything else, concentrated all his manpower, and rushed desperately to the defense line in front of him.
After an hour of intense hard fighting, the two battalions of the Liangshan infantry were also more than half killed and wounded, and they were exhausted. Ji Sheng and Sun An stood side by side, watching Li Cheng personally participate in the attack, and knew that the brother on the other side had already opened the passage, and this guy couldn't wait.
So they shouted loudly together: "Brothers, the little officials will immediately bring people to support, and everyone will hold on for the last quarter of an hour." ”
"Hold on to the last quarter of an hour!"
At one time, the positions of the first battalion and the second battalion shouted continuously, and the remaining people rose up and sacrificed their lives to fight.
However, the dying officers and men were also very terrible, and under their all-out attacks, the defense line of Yukou was crumbling and full of loopholes.
Just when the position of Liangshan was about to be breached, the sound of horses' hooves in the valley was suddenly heard, and then a continuous piece of horses' heads came out of it.
