Chapter 114: Yiwu County, Yanmen County

With Zhao Wei's inspection speech, Zhao Wei's military spirit slowly stabilized, and the soldiers began to have optimistic hopes for the outcome of this battle. At the same time, at the other end of the battlefield, Chai Huaixing also held a pre-war mobilization meeting with his division commanders.

"This is the first time that our Eighth Legion has formed an army, and it depends on whether it is a wolf or a dog. If we win, we can get the glory of victory, and if we lose, we will never be able to raise our heads in front of other colleagues! Once the battle begins, you'll have to fight for me, and we're waiting for the news of our victory! Chai Huaixing stared at the five division commanders under him and said.

All five division commanders returned to their respective ranks and began to execute according to the pre-war plan. As the main force of the vanguard, it was naturally the mixed division, because there was no need to worry about the threat of cavalry, this time the mixed division did not line up in a phalanx, but was composed of Mo sword soldiers standing in the first two rows, and musketeers standing in the back three rows of a long snake formation.

Two cavalry divisions outflanked on both sides, and the three infantry divisions all formed a long snake formation in front of the front, slowly pressing towards Zhao Wei's department. Zhao Wei looked at Chai Huaixingjun in front of him and laughed dryly twice and said, "It's just a matter of making a fool of yourself, the brothers will follow me to defeat them." With that, he took the lead and rushed to the Chai Huaixing army in front of him.

There is no turning back when the bow is opened, and these people in Zhao Weibu are also outlaws, and there is absolutely no ambiguity when it comes to gambling on their lives. They all knew in their hearts that they would either fight to the death and fight for a bright future, or they would sit on Haixin Mountain and sit back and wait for death after running out of grain and grass, so at this time, they also shouted and followed Zhao Wei to rush to the mixed division in front of them.

The mixed division saw that the enemy army began to attack, so it stopped its position, and the Mo knife soldiers in the front two rows knelt on one knee and formed a knife forest with the Mo knife in their hands, which was used to block the output of the enemy army in front of them to attack the musketeers in the three rows behind. The soldier in charge of observing the distance of the enemy in the rear of the musketeer team raised the flag in his hand, signaled the musketeers in the first row to raise their guns and aim at the enemy in front of them, and then gave the order to open fire when the enemy entered the firing range.

With the loud sound of the musket and the rising smoke, Zhao Weibu rushed to the front of the row of soldiers to the ground one after another, Zhao Wei was lucky, a projectile hit his helmet a little more sideways, forming a ricochet, into the brain of the soldier next to him. After being shot in the head, the soldier collapsed to the ground without even snorting, turning into a corpse.

Zhao Wei was shocked by the impact of the projectile, and his head was tilted, and he stumbled under his feet, but fortunately, the pro-soldiers next to him supported him, so he did not fall. At this time, the charge of Zhao Weibu's group had evaporated the last trace of reason in people's minds, and the fallen soldiers only made a few waves and then stopped making a sound. When the houses of people were huddled together to carry out a group charge, they were no longer influenced by the will of the people, and no matter how heavy the casualties were, they could not stop the onslaught of this army.

This also made Chai Huaixing's musketeers only shoot five rounds before they could only insert their bayonets into their guns and prepare for melee combat.

The soldiers of the Zhao Guard Department in the first row were hugged by the people behind them and hit the blades of the Mo Dao soldiers with frightened eyes, and were pierced by the sharp Mo Dao Soldiers, and the blood suddenly sprayed on the Mo Dao soldiers in the first row, dyeing the armor facing the enemy red. This is also the helplessness of every Mo knife soldier, he is often at the forefront of the war, the blood stain on the armor will accumulate a lot after each battle, at the beginning, these Mo knife soldiers will also cherish to wipe it clean after the war, and then simply give up the treatment, let the blood stain dry itself, this habit also made them later nicknamed the Red Armor Army, but these are all later words, not to mention it for the time being.

At this time, there were at least three or four corpses strung on the blades of each Mo knife soldier, which made the Mo knife soldiers miserable, but they couldn't put down the Mo knife in their hands and let the enemy attack, so they could only endure the sour numbness of their arms and carry the Mo knife. Zhao Weibu in the back row saw that the corpse in front of him had buried the blade of the Mo knife, so he rushed to climb the mountain of corpses in front of him, stepped on the armor of the Mo knife soldiers in the front row and climbed through the knife forest prepared by the Mo knife soldiers, and directly pounced on the musketeers in the back row who had already loaded the bayonets.

The battle directly entered the climax for a while, nearly 10,000 people shouted to kill the entire battlefield, although the musketeers only had the muskets with bayonets in their hands to use, but at this time, with the help of prior training, every three people formed a battle group to support each other, so although the number was at a disadvantage, but there were no big casualties.

The other four divisions had also completed the defense operation, and after hearing the sound of firecrackers indicating that the encirclement had been completed, the Mo Dao soldiers threw down the Mo knives with the corpses in their hands, picked up the weapons of the dead corpses and began to join the battle group.

When the sun just reached directly above, Zhao Weibu could no longer support it, and his morale collapsed. Chai Huaixing commanded the Third Division, which did not have much loss, to take advantage of the situation to attack the cottage and completely destroy the foundation of Zhao Wei's department. Zhao Wei was stabbed into a sieve with bayonets in the chaos, and the rest of those who surrendered were locked up in Tucheng waiting for the verdict one by one.

"Yang Guang has already set off?" Li Wenyuan asked Qiu Niang.

"I've already set off, and I'll be able to reach Yanmen County in a few days." Qiu Niang nodded affirmatively.

"Well, transfer the Fifth Army to besiege Yiwu County and set off immediately, but let Cheng Yanjin pay attention to the scale of the siege." Li Wenyuan ordered.

"Can really happen what you said?" Qiu Niang said half-incredulously.

"Definitely, just wait." Li Wenyuan said with a smile.

Li Liang was sitting in the county guard mansion of Yiwu County at this time, holding the white hair on his head with both hands, looking at the subordinates who were silent in front of him and said, "Everyone, I just want to ask you, when will Yiwu County be lost?" ”

Li Liang turned his head again and asked the Turks in the room, "When will the Great Khan's army arrive?" ”

After listening to the translation next to him, the Turk said: "The army of the Great Khan is already on the way, and you need to hold out for another five days, King Khan." ”

"Five days? So long? Li Liang asked with a bitter face.

"This is already the latest army, otherwise the King of Khan would have abandoned this broken city and returned to the grassland with us, so there would be no need to be so frightened, even if he Li Wenyuan has the ability to reach the sky, he would not dare to fight us on the grassland." The Turks said disdainfully, they didn't have to be polite in the face of Li Liang, who had been defeated again and again.

Li Liangqi's face turned blue, but he could only swallow this breath and said to his subordinates: "Didn't you hear? Five days! I don't care what you do! I just want you to hold the front line for five days! ”
