Chapter 198: Forcibly Crossing Weishui 5

Gong Du's armor had been cut in several places, two on his chest and lower abdomen, and if it weren't for the high quality of Yizhou's iron armor, he would probably have become the first high-ranking general of the Yizhou army to die since the Huimeng princes fought against Dong. At his feet, the blood had merged into a red pool, countless corpses made his steps stagger, he had to wave the spear in his hand vigorously, and at the same time keep an eye on the ground under his feet, if he was knocked down, then the tide of enemies would surely devour him mercilessly!

"Ah......" Seeing his comrades fall beside him, Gong Du let out an angry roar, and in the thunderous roar, he swung his spear into the wind, and the enemy in front of him fell three more people in a moment, which only slowed down the enemy's offensive slightly, and after Gong Du was exhausted, the Xiliang army rushed up again.

When the Xiliang army eliminated the last archer, and then turned around and killed Gong Du from behind, Gong Du looked at the only remaining 200 or so people around him, and he knew that the last time had come!

"Are you scared, brothers?" Gong Du asked loudly.

"I'm afraid of a bird, it's long enough......"

"There are no soldiers in the Yizhou Army, and there are no retreating soldiers in the Fourth Division......"

"Whoever comes will fight grandpa for 300 rounds......"

"Don't be afraid, the thief will take good care of your ......"

At the critical juncture, the remaining 200 or so people still did not change their true colors.

"I'm lucky to have brothers like you, I just want to say that if we die, let's bury them together, kill them......" Gong Du laughed and rushed towards the enemy, beside him, none of the officers and soldiers of the more than 200 Fourth Division had the slightest hesitation, they firmly followed the footsteps of their division commander, even if they knew that their division commander would lead them to death, but what was there to be afraid of? Even if they die, the division commander will be buried with them, isn't he?

In the blink of an eye, more than 200 people fell nearly half, the fortunate ones were all injured, even Gong Du, someone had a big hole in his right arm with a gun, he had already given up the spear, and continued to attack with a sword in his left hand, although he had no fear of death, but with a trace of sadness in his heart, not for himself, but for these soldiers who followed him......

Just when Gong Du thought that it was the last moment, the enemy army besieging them retreated like a tide, and Gong looked at the enemy army running wildly in puzzlement, and he didn't know why for a while.

"Don't pursue, stabilize the formation!" Gong Du loudly stopped the momentum of the soldier's pursuit, it was not that he was afraid of death, he was really reluctant to sacrifice such a good soldier in vain. Although the enemy army has no heart to fight, bypassing the small remaining position of more than 100 of them, everyone knows that rabbits bite people in a hurry, if these more than 100 disabled soldiers really want to stop the enemy, the enemy army who is running for their lives can swallow them in an instant.

Gong is a fierce general, but after seeing the sacrifice of countless soldiers, he began to become stable, and he secretly thought: "Everything needs to be done according to one's ability, and if you want to be the mainstay, you have to see how strong your own strength is, and let the soldiers die in vain, then it is the same as what the lord said, it is a crime!" ”

When the enemy retreated, Gong Du finally understood why, Gao Shun led 3,000 people to attack Li Le's rear army, once captured, it choked the retreat of the enemy army besieging him, with the strength of the first brigade, and with his fourth division that was coming to the rescue, it was not impossible to completely annihilate the enemy, in view of this, Li Le had to order a temporary retreat, in case of being surrounded.

Li Le saw the opportunity quickly, but was still intercepted by Gao Shun nearly a thousand people, Gong Du looked at the reinforcements surrounding him, and shouted: "What do you see? Lao Tzu can't die, hurry, go up and help, if I lose the people of my fourth division, Lao Tzu will chop you alive......"

The deputy division commander and others who came to the aid did not dare to slack off, and left a team to take care of this group of soldiers who were all wounded, and then shouted and killed the more than 1,000 enemy troops who were intercepted.

More than 3,000 people in the First Brigade plus 3,000 or 4,000 people in the Fourth Division, these more than 1,000 enemy troops were all slaughtered without a meal, Gao Shun learned that Gong Du was wounded, and immediately ordered to escort him back to the south bank to treat his wounds, and he commanded the officers and men of the First Brigade and the Fourth Division to rush towards the enemy troops who had stabilized their formation two miles away.

Gao Shun was only a brigade commander, and his status was below the division commander, but he was also the deputy commander of the First Field Corps, and he had the power to command Gong Du, and Gong Du had to obey his orders, not to mention that he also understood that the severe trauma on his arm made him temporarily lose the ability to fight.

After Li Le restrained the soldiers and horses and stabilized the formation, he immediately began to think about the strategy of breaking the enemy, the Yizhou army had gained a firm foothold, he knew that with his current strength, the first thing to consider was not how to drive the Yizhou army through Weishui, but to think about when to retreat, once the reinforcements of the Yizhou army crossed Weishui one after another, it would be difficult for him to leave. But if he left like this, the responsibility for losing the Weishui defense line would be enough to leave him dead.

"I knew that I wouldn't have done anything to Zhang Ji, with him in front, it was also his responsibility to lose the line of defense!" Li Le secretly thought, he couldn't help but feel a trace of regret for his eagerness, thinking of Zhang Ji, Li Le couldn't help but shout: "Oh no, Zhang Ji hasn't had time to be escorted to Chang'an......" In line with the idea of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, he immediately called over a pro-named tun chief, and whispered an order in his ear, let him go to send Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew on the last journey, the pro-soldier nodded, and led a dozen soldiers to carry out the order of temporarily eradicating the grass and eradicating the roots, and never suffering in the future.

"I can't leave like this, otherwise Xiangye will definitely not be able to let me go...... But if you don't leave, once you are bitten by the Yizhou army, it will be too late to run...... What to do, what to do? Li Le thought about it secretly, for a long time, and finally came up with a plan, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he gave two orders to a deputy general, and the deputy general took the order and left.

When Gong Du and more than 100 wounded soldiers were protected and sent back to the south bank, the main force of the 5th Division of the 2nd wave of Hou Cheng, 10,000 people, also set foot on the land on the north bank, leaving 1,000 people to cooperate with the soldiers of the 4th Division and the 1st Brigade to clear the remnants of the enemy, Hou Cheng led the way to support Gao Shun.

Gao Shun approached the enemy formation for about a mile and stopped, now that the enemy army has stabilized Chen Xing, and his forces are not superior, he will definitely pay a great price for attacking rashly, which is not cost-effective. And he knew very well that he had basically completed the task, and that after gaining a foothold on the north bank, there would be a steady stream of reinforcements across the river to help, and as long as he waited for the reinforcements to arrive, he could launch a thunderous blow and break through the enemy line in one fell swoop......

"General Gao, the last general was ordered to come to help, please give the general an order!" Hou Cheng stepped forward to bow.

Gao Shun and Hou Chengyuan were Lu Bu's generals and knew each other very well, Gao Shun nodded: "General Hou is exempt!" ”

"Caution, why don't you give the order to attack!" In private, the relationship between the two is very good, and Hou Cheng directly called Gao Shun's cousin.

"The enemy army has been prepared, and I am afraid that the strong attack will cause heavy casualties, my opinion is to postpone the attack and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive and occupy the absolute superiority of forces before attacking!"

Hou Cheng nodded, although Ci is not in charge of the troops, but the real general will never let the soldiers under his command die in vain, the current situation is that the Yizhou army has time to wait, but Li Le is afraid that he will not dare to wait any longer!

"Be cautious, I see that there are a lot of trebuchets and bed crossbows on the river defense, do you want people to move over and let them learn the power of their weapons?"

Gao Shun's eyes lit up, and he said: "Yes, with the attack of the trebuchet, you will definitely be able to easily smash through the enemy's defense line, you go and arrange it immediately!" ”

"Yes!" Hou Cheng immediately said, and then called the men and horses to go back and carry the bed crossbow and trebuchet.

"Newspaper - Enlighten the lord, the first brigade and the fourth division of our army have captured the river defense and are advancing in depth. Reinforcements from the 4th Division have landed...... Gong Du, the commander of the Fourth Division, was seriously injured and has returned to the south bank, and the military doctor is doing his best to treat him! ”

The previous words made Liu Zhang nod uncontrollably, but Gong Du's injury made him feel deeply uneasy, he knew that there were no antibiotics in this era, and a small knife wound could be catastrophic, so he hurriedly said: "How is General Gong injured?" Is it life-threatening? ”

"It is reported that General Gong fought against several times the enemy with inferior troops, and did not retreat until death, and in the end there were only more than 100 people left, and all of them were wounded, General Gong's right arm was stabbed by the enemy's gun, and the wound was extremely deep, according to General Gong's own report, no injuries were made to the muscles and bones, and there was no danger to life!"

Liu Zhang knew the current medical conditions, so he didn't dare to be careless at all, and said: "Order Qin Ye to treat it personally, if ...... Let him do his best, don't pity the medicine money...... "He originally wanted to say that if Gong Du is like that, he will be Qin Ye how he is, but considering the realistic situation, coupled with the fact that Qin Ye has always been conscientious and has saved the lives of many soldiers since the invasion of Jingzhou, and even when he himself went on the expedition, he relied on Qin Ye to regulate his body for him, and he still respected Qin Ye very much, so he changed his mind.

"Yes!"

"Wait a minute, tell Gong Du, rest assured to recuperate my injuries, I still need him to continue to kill the enemy for me!"

"Yes!"
