Chapter 246: The Bottom of the Bloody Valley
Chen Gong looked at the Xiliang army meandering forward on the top of the mountain, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and when he gave an order, the side of the valley exit suddenly shook the sky, don't get me wrong, Chen Gong did not give the order to attack Xu Rong's army, but ordered the two thousand soldiers who were still "teasing" Dong Min to open the formation and attack Dong Min "fiercely".
Dong Min in the valley was protected by thirty or forty personal guards, when he heard the sudden outbreak of the Yizhou army, his heart was already desperate, he knew that his end had come, only five hundred remnants of his life had been completely cut off, he also tried to beg to surrender, but the Yizhou army in the valley turned a deaf ear...... However, to his surprise, although the two sides of the valley were powerful, the attacks were not sharp, and there was a strong thunder and small rain.
There was a lot of echo in the valley, Xu Rong suddenly heard the shouting and killing sound from the front, knowing that Dong Min was still alive, he immediately ordered the army to speed up the march, he didn't want to stay in this valley for a long time, he wanted to join Dong Min immediately, and then hurry to leave this dangerous valley.
When Xu Rong could already see Dong Min, Dong Min also discovered Xu Rong at the same time, he was immediately overjoyed, and excitedly ordered the remnants to rush over, as long as he could meet Xu Rong, he would be able to save the day!
Seeing that the hope of survival was in front of him, the remnants of Dong Min, who only had about 400 people at this moment, burst out with unprecedented fighting spirit, and the ghost crying god rushed towards Xu Rong like Dong Min.
Chen Gong gave an order, ordered the flag to be unfurled, and a dense rain of arrows shot at Xu Rong and Dong Min respectively, which was the crossbow equipped by the Tiger Guard.
Under the dense attack, the Xiliang army suffered heavy casualties, and five or six hundred people fell in an instant, and the rain of arrows also blocked the momentum of the two armies' charge, and the two soldiers and horses had to slow down and advance with difficulty under the cover of shields.
Chen Gong said: "Order Xu Chu to block Xu Rong and Dong Min from meeting, but without the general order, Dong Min's department must not be annihilated, let alone killed!" The rest of the ministries are on hold! ”
Xu Chu, who was stationed between Xu Rong's forward and Dong Min, soon received an order, Chen Gong had already told the plan to the generals and Pan, this very puzzling order Xu Chu understood at this time, so he called for three thousand elite soldiers in his hand to launch all the attacks to Xu Rong's forward, as for Dong Min, he didn't have to worry about it at all, Chen Gong left two thousand people to "entertain".
Condescending, with the help of sharp weapons such as crossbows, Xu Chu's attack received unimaginable results, Xu Rong almost every step forward, he had to pay the price of dozens of people, obviously he and Dong Min were close at hand, shouting and audible, but they always felt so far away from each other!
Xu Rong continued to advance while organizing his troops to storm the high ground on both sides of the valley under the cover of archers. But the situation of the Xiliang army in the back attack is extremely unfavorable, the arrow is often difficult to reach the Yizhou army above the valley, even if it is barely reached, but the lethality has been greatly reduced, and even a bold Yizhou army saw an arrow softly shot at themselves, on a whim, caught it, and actually pinched the arrow in his hand, he was very proud to show his achievements to his comrades-in-arms, and then shot the arrow back to the Xiliang army that was crawling with difficulty in the scolding of the commander......
Chen Gong watched the battle in the valley with cold eyes, because the front was blocked, and the troops behind were still rushing forward, as a result, the enemy army in the valley became denser and denser, and in a short time, nearly 40,000 troops were crowded into a narrow space. At this time, Chen Gong had already received the news that after the five thousand Qiang cavalry stationed at Gukou were "teased" by Li Dian, the reckless Qiang cavalry general was furious and ordered the whole army to pursue Li Dian, and it was necessary to annihilate them all to vent this anger! Li Dian did not fight hard with the enemy, seeing the enemy chasing after him, he commanded the army to turn around and leave, the Qiang soldiers did not know what to do, chased after him, and in a blink of an eye he was led into the distance by Li Dian. As soon as the Qiang cavalry left, the Yizhou army in Gukou immediately laid down a Zama nail formation and firmly blocked Gukou. Chen Gong immediately ordered the ambush to be exhausted, and the enemy army must be completely annihilated.
At the same time that Chen Gong ordered the whole army to attack, Xu Rong, who had been secretly vigilant in his heart, looked at the dense army of his own side, and immediately understood the enemy's sinister intentions, they kept Dong Min to attract him to jump into the ambush circle, which was not unexpected by him, but when he walked into the ambush circle as the enemy expected, the enemy did not attack all, just to block him and Dong Min from converging, which once made him puzzled, he even thought that the enemy was not determined to annihilate himself, but just wanted to drag himself here, and the main force sneaked up on Yiwu. But now he knew that no, the enemy's purpose was always on him, and the reason why he did not order the whole army to go out was only because the enemy thought that he had too many people, and if the 38,000 men marched in five long columns, they could almost fill the entire valley, and the entrance to the valley was also in his own hands, once the enemy attacked with all his strength, although he would inevitably suffer heavy losses, most of the rear army could still retreat safely, and obviously, the enemy did not want to leave regrets, what they wanted was total annihilation. The enemy took advantage of the fact that he had to rescue Dong Min, kept Dong Min to attract himself to attack forward with all his strength, and at the same time arranged for the elite to block his advance, and now the entire valley is now like a funnel, but the small opening under the funnel was blocked by this elite, and as a result, his tens of thousands of troops were all stuffed into a small funnel......
"It's so vicious......" Xu Rong sighed in his heart, he didn't have time to order the rear army to retreat, and the shouts of killing that made him desperate already sounded on both sides of the valley......
After receiving the order to attack with all their might from Chen Gong, Dian Wei and Yonghong immediately ordered an attack, determined to take revenge, Zhang Fei let out a thunderous roar, and shot his bow at Xu Rong, who had never let him out of his sight since he appeared......
"General be careful...... Xu Rong's lieutenant guarded Xu Rong loyally, and saw that an arrow suddenly shot at Xu Rong in the mountains, he warned while jumping up from his horse and jumping towards Xu Rong.
I only heard the sound of "poof", followed by a crisp sound of "dang, dang" made by the iron utensils and the gravel of the valley.
Xu Rong turned around and saw his lieutenant lying on the ground motioning, a stream of red blood gushing out of the lieutenant's heart......
Xu Rong jumped off the saddle and helped up the already exhausted lieutenant and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Zhang Fei above the valley took a "bah", obviously he was very dissatisfied with the missability of this arrow, but soon he regained his happy mood, maybe this is God to let him kill the enemy? After that, Zhang Fei kept throwing the bow and arrow into the valley, but he no longer aimed at Xu Rong, he wanted to leave Xu Rong at the end, he wanted to see with his own eyes the fear and remorse in Xu Rong's eyes when he knew that he would be cut off his head!
In the valley, the Xiliang army rubbed shoulders and turned around, and it was a difficult thing to turn around, and suddenly encountered a fierce attack by the Yizhou army, and suddenly suffered a large number of casualties.
The roaring logs and rocks on the top of the mountain, the arrows of the cold light, and the scorching torches kept killing and injuring one Xiliang army after another, and at the same time, they also completely disintegrated the fighting spirit of the Xiliang army, they cried, screamed, and ran around with their heads...... They can't help but reveal their instincts as human beings, and they forget to fight back!
Xu Rong put down the body of the deputy general and said loudly: "Retreat, everyone retreat to the valley, there is someone behind to answer, as long as you rush out, you can live ......"
When more than 100 Xu Rong's personal guards shouted in unison to the ears of the first person, alive, this simple word became the only wish of tens of thousands of Xiliang troops in the valley, they comforted themselves and turned their heads and ran, they just wanted to live!
Responsible for interception is Yonghong, his 20,000 troops have been dispersed, only 3,000 people in his personal control, don't look at only 3,000 people, but the barbarians raised by poor mountains and bad waters are born to be the best warriors, after the strict training of the recruit training camp, the combat effectiveness is even more terrifying, in the strong army such as the forest of Yizhou Army, the discipline of the 15th Division is not good, but the combat effectiveness is obvious to all, except for a few troops such as the Tiger Guard Division and the First Independent Division, there are really few troops who dare to boast that Haikou is better than the 15th Division! And the barbarians who used to make a living by gathering and hunting seemed to have a murderous character in their hearts, and when they received the order to attack with all their might and prevent the enemy from escaping, they immediately shouted excitedly, and under the command of Yonghong, the officers and men of the 3,000 15th Division formed a qualitative and invisible wall, and the Xiliang army that desperately broke through the siege was hit on the head and bled on this wall, but none of them were able to escape.
After hundreds or thousands of Xiliang troops fell under the hands of these 3,000 officers and soldiers, a barrage dam was built at the bottom of the valley as if a corpse had been built, and the hope of the Xiliang army breaking through was even slimmer!
