Chapter 227: The Battle of Martial Arts 12
Zhou Cang looked at Xiliang Jun, who was climbing up quickly, couldn't help licking the corners of his mouth, and said secretly: "It's finally my turn to play!" ”
Wu Ming next to him didn't have such a mood, the reason why he fought was nothing more than to repay Liu Shu's kindness, he himself was not very keen on killing, of course, once he killed someone, he was also a butcher, because he needed to protect Liu Zhang's safety, risking his own life, let alone others?
The black-faced Zhou Cang shouted in a thunderous voice: "Brothers, they usually say that they are tiger boys, and now the time has come to prove themselves, the lord is in Dazhai, I ask you, do not let an enemy step into the camp, if anyone goes wrong, don't blame the ruthless military law!" ”
"The lord humiliates the ministers to death, general, please rest assured, these little miscellaneous fish want to offend the lord, unless we are all dead......" said a tiger guard in a long voice.
Zhou Cang shouted "Okay" and said, "To have this kind of determination, what are we?" Tiger Guards! What are the responsibilities of the Tiger Guards? ”
"Defend the lord and kill all the enemies......" all those who heard Zhou Cang's words shouted in unison.
"Good...... Let's give a good welcome to these two-legged animals! ”
"Kill...... Kill...... Kill ......," the Tiger Guards shouted in unison.
In a moment, several enemy soldiers climbed the earthen wall where Zhou Cang and Wu Ming were, and they didn't even stand firm, so Wu Ming smashed three heads with an iron shovel and knocked an enemy soldier down the earthen wall with a shield. Zhou Cang was not to be left behind, and the long knife in his hand cut off two heads in a row, and the remaining two enemy soldiers were divided into corpses by the Tiger Guards.
Once things start, they tend to deteriorate quickly, although Wu Ming and Zhou Cang led the Tiger Guards to quickly kill these enemies, but in the blink of an eye, countless enemies continued to climb the city wall.
"Kill ......" Zhou Cang shouted angrily, and put the long knife barrel into the chest of an enemy soldier, and when he pulled the knife, he couldn't help but look at Wu Ming, why? It turned out that Wu Ming had just eliminated four enemies, and he had only killed two, and he was a little unconvinced.
However, he saw Wu Ming's left hand shield protecting his body, and his right hand swinging the iron shovel into the wind, smashing the three enemy soldiers to the earth wall with only one blow.
"What a perverted ......" Zhou Cang muttered, dispelling the idea of competing with Wu Ming.
The Tiger Guards are all brave and well-equipped, although the Xiliang Army is constantly reinforced, but this kind of refueling tactic is to make the Tiger Guards' hearts bloom, it turns out that military merits can be obtained so easily!
The iron wall of the tiger guards shouted mercilessly harvesting the lives of one enemy after another, they even gave up the blow to the Xiliang army outside the wall, and at the same time gave up part of the earthen wall, let the Xiliang army climb the earthen wall, and then pounced on it like a wolf to fight with the enemy.
A moment later, the Xiliang army had already paid nearly a thousand casualties, while the Tiger Guards suffered minor losses......
Li Yan can't remember how many enemy soldiers he stabbed to death, he only knows that the honor of him and the first division can only be redeemed with the blood of the enemy, he took the soldiers who survived the 3,000 catastrophes with absolute courage and firm faith, and they did not let an enemy stay alive on the earthen wall for more than five breaths, and the blood had already dyed the blood red of the earthen wall they were responsible for, and on both sides of the earthen wall, the dry sand sucked the blood, and more blood gathered into a stream......
The first division fought hard with the enemy with the determination to die, although it caused heavy casualties to the enemy, but it also paid a huge price, and half an hour later, Li Yan had to transfer 1,000 reinforcements.
The greatest result of the battle, and the fewest casualties on their own side was still the center as the enemy's main attack direction, defending here is the 1st Independent Infantry Brigade trained by Gao Shun. Gao Shun trained this unit with the purpose of training the strongest soldiers in Yizhou, and he was determined to build this unit into a force that was both offensive and defensive. Every soldier in the army was personally selected by Gao Shun, and after rigorous training, like a big wave washing sand, he washed away the soil, and only real gold could stay and become one of them.
These soldiers who cooperated tacitly cooperated with each other on the battlefield, and did the realm of attacking without attacking and defending without defending in martial arts, Xiliang Army soon found that it was necessary to use ten to one, or even a higher price to kill and injure an enemy soldier, and this battle damage was unacceptable even in the offensive battle!
……
After more than an hour, Gao Shunqing knew that if this knowledge continued, the two-zhang high earthen wall was likely to be broken through by the enemy, and it was time to end today's battle!
"Beat the drum, order rockets to shoot at the trench, cut off the enemy's contact, send an order to the whole army, kill and wound the enemy in the trench with all your might, and be sure to destroy everything!" Gao Shun said loudly.
"Order!"
The sound of the Yizhou snare drum changed again, and after a quick triple hit, there was another blow after a short wait, followed by a second hit.
The Yizhou army, which was fighting endlessly, listened to the sound of drums in their ears, and many people couldn't help but have a hint of joy on their faces.
The reserves under the earthen wall quickly carried torches and oil onto the earthen wall. The crossbowmen hurriedly took the rockets they had prepared, soaked them in oil for a short time, lit them on the torches, and then aimed them in the direction of the trench and projectiled countless rockets towards the trench*.
An astonishing scene appeared, as soon as the small rocket fell into the trench, a large cloud of smoke immediately rose from the trench, followed by flames that soared into the sky!
Obviously, this is not something that a small rocket can cause, it turns out that since the trench was dug, because the river water could not be introduced, the defensive courage was greatly reduced, and the battle was about to be faced with a huge disparity in strength, how could we hold the camp? Liu Zhang thought about it for a long time, tried to think of many methods, but they were not very effective, and finally he thought of the method of fire attack! He ordered people to collect a lot of tung oil and other fire-causing things, but thinking that the fire attack was too cruel, it was not used, until Dong Zhuo led the army to come, Liu Zhang knew that this was not the time for the woman's benevolence, and ordered people to take advantage of the night to dump tung oil in the trench, in order to cover up the smell of tung oil, Liu Zhang had already taken precautions after the battle with Li Dao a few days ago and ordered to leave part of the corpses of the Xiliang army in the trench when cleaning the battlefield. In the past few days, the smell of rot has always permeated the entire camp, and the defenders have complained a little, but fortunately, this bit of bitterness has not been eaten in vain, and it really concealed the Xiliang army, and a rocket suddenly caught Dong Zhuo off guard!
There were a lot of Xiliang troops in the trench who had fallen under their feet before (there were also some treacherous people who took the initiative to lose their footing), and they were a little lucky, but they finally didn't have to work hard, and they were safe! Who knew that bad luck would fall from the sky, and heaven would turn into hell in an instant! The fire instantly burned them into burning people, and the terrible sound overwhelmed everything......
The Xiliang army immediately realized that something was wrong, turned around and fled, and even those Xiliang troops who had already climbed the earthen wall jumped under the earthen wall without saying a word and attacked the Yizhou army? I'm sorry, who still has that mind? The back road is going to be cut off, and if you continue to fight, isn't that self-defeating? But a flame several feet high is also a path of death, and no one can run through the two-foot-long, rickety ladder under its rage!
The Xiliang army, who turned around, looked at the flames that rushed to the sky, and invariably stopped, looking at the soldiers who were struggling and wailing in the flames, and everyone had a huge sense of fear. Death may not be anything in the eyes of these Xiliang soldiers whose hands are stained with blood, but how can they die! This kind of being burned alive by the fire in front of them is definitely the most cruel way to die in their eyes, and there is no one! Looking at the robed brothers whose faces were covered by the flames, Xiliangjun couldn't help but feel a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and some people couldn't bear it in their eyes, and gave them a happy moment with bows and arrows.
Soon, it was discovered that some places had not yet been engulfed in flames, and there were even ladders on top of them! At this time, the small ladder is the only way to survive, and no one can care about humility at this time, scrambling to squeeze up the ladder, and many people even fight. But the result of the scramble can only be worse, as the story goes, when a crab catcher catches the first crab, he will cover the basket tightly so that the crab does not escape, but once he catches the second one, he never needs to close the basket again, because every crab rushes towards the exit. But the mouth of the bamboo basket is very narrow, and only one crab can be allowed to pass through at a time. So when one crab climbs to the mouth of the basket, the rest of the crabs will grab it with large pincers and eventually drag it down. When another crab climbs up on its companion, the other crabs pull it down as well...... Although the mouth of the basket was always open, not a single crab was lucky enough to escape from its cage. The situation is the same now, don't you see that the soldier who takes his selfishness to the extreme is like the crab in the fisherman's basket? In the midst of your struggle, there are very few people who can escape, and Gao Shun even saw a Zhonglang general who wanted to show his majesty and let himself pass first, but was stabbed in the back! In the battle for survival, no one was willing to let anyone, and many people were pushed into the trenches, and even the ladders for escape were pushed into the trenches. Immediately, there was a wise man who was overjoyed, and jumped under the trench without hesitation, and then ran up the ladder with pain in pain, and escaped in a blink of an eye. The slow response immediately followed suit, but when there were many people in the trench, it was a crab basket!
