Chapter 331: Camp Death Battle 2
To the sound of murderous drums, Yuan Jun shouted and pounced on the battlefield.
Zhou Tai swept a glance at the approaching Yuan Jun with a long knife, looked back at the soldiers beside him, and said loudly: "Brothers, this is the last line of defense, if it is broken through by the enemy, we will be slaughtered, I don't want to die, presumably you don't want to, so I ask you to never let the enemy pass in front of you unless you fall!" ”
A tun commander said with a smile: "Commander, don't worry, these traitors are a bunch of soft eggs, if they want to break through our defense line, unless there is another 100,000 troops, otherwise such a small number of troops is not enough for us to kill in one day!" Brothers, everyone said yes! ”
Someone immediately responded: "Yes, it's okay for Yuan Jun to harm the common people, when they meet us, it means that their death time has come!" ”
"Kill them without leaving a piece of armor behind, let them know how powerful we ......"
The Shu army's defense line was excited.
Zhou Tai nodded, very satisfied with the soldier's state: "Yes, everything is good......
Yuan Jun quickly rushed to the front, Zhou Tai raised his bow and aimed at a Yuan Jun marquis and shouted: "Release the arrows ......" The shout was issued at the same time as the arrow, and the Yuan Jun Marquis on the opposite side fell to the ground in response.
At the same moment, the sound of bowstrings on the Shu army's position was endless, and one after another feathered arrows galloped out and went straight to the Yuan army in front of them.
The Yuan army had already been on guard, and the sword and shield men immediately raised their shields to cover, but hundreds of Yuan soldiers still fell under the arrows of the Shu army.
The archers of the Yuan army did not show weakness, and attacked the Shu army under the cover of the sword and shield hands, and at the same time, some of the Yuan army's bows and arrows climbed the earthen fortress and condescendingly launched a fierce attack on the Shu army lying on the earthen wall.
The Yuan army howled and rushed towards the earthen wall, and the Shu army immediately returned the color, vowing to block the enemy army, and in the first instant, all soldiers fell, including the Yuan army and the Shu army......
Soon, the Yuan army rushed under the earthen wall, and the planks collected from the fence of the Shu army immediately set up the earthen wall, and one after another the Yuan army stepped on the planks and ran forward, seeing that victory seemed to be in sight, the Yuan army cheered.
Obviously, Yuan Jun was happy too early, only to see that the Shu army was not in a panic, and the soldiers in front of the earthen wall picked up the swords, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons around them.
The earthen wall that fell into hand-to-hand combat, whether the Shu army or the Yuan army, the archers were already unable to intervene, and both sides raised their bows and arrows at the same time and pointed diagonally forward, taking and throwing arrows to attack the enemy's rear formation.
Zhou Tai slashed left and right with a long knife in his hand, guarding a "passage", only a moment of effort to have five results, a chief saw that the situation was not good, pulled the Yuan soldiers who continued to rush up, and commanded seven or eight soldiers in his hands to use spears to stab up under the earthen wall, don't do not dig the earthen wall only one person high, even if the Yuan soldiers are holding the ring head knife, they can also catch the Shu army above, not to mention that they have a spear in their hands. Zhou Tai poked his head out, wanting to cut down the enemy troops below, but saw several cold stars stabbing at his face quickly, and quickly retracted his head, although he escaped a catastrophe, but in the face of seven or eight spears, once he showed his head, he was afraid that he would either be killed or injured, so he had to shrink down and wait for Yuan Jun to send him to the door.
Yuan Jun saw that Zhou Tai did not dare to show his head, and one Yuan Jun immediately rushed up with a shield and stepped on the plank, followed by several Yuan Jun.
The soldiers of the Yuan army were getting taller and taller step by step, and seeing that half of their bodies were higher than the earthen wall, Zhou Tai suddenly exhaled and slashed violently with the knife in his hand. On the battlefield, you must be vigilant at all times, otherwise you don't know when your head is cut off, this Yuan Jun is not the first time to set foot on the battlefield, of course he understands this truth, after hearing Zhou Tai shouted, he immediately sensed the danger, and hurriedly put the shield pestle in front of him.
The wooden shield is not a big problem to block the attacks of ordinary soldiers, but this time this Yuan soldier met Zhou Tai, who was the world's first-class fierce general, the cold blade slashed, the Yuan soldier was shocked to find that the shield in his hand had always been extremely strong, and saved his life several times The shield that he used as a talisman was broken into two pieces as if it was defeated, and his chest was broken along with the shield, Zhou Tai's knife not only cut his shield, but also disemboweled, "bang", and the internal organs were mixed with red blood and spilled on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Tai took advantage of the Yuan Jun below to dodge the gushing out of the internal organs, and stabbed into the chest of the second Yuan Jun on the wooden board, with a loud cry of "ho ......" in his mouth, the long knife was flicked, and the sharp blade directly cut the Yuan Jun's jaw into two pieces, and the tip of the knife came out of his mouth and flew into the air with the tip of his nose.
Seeing this, several soldiers of the Yuan Army immediately raised their guns and stabbed them. As soon as Zhou Tai slashed back, only the barrel of the gun was left in the hands of the three Yuan soldiers, but the head of the gun that killed and injured the enemy was gone. At this time, Zhou Tai had no time to deal with the other spears, so he hurriedly bent down and shrank back.
The same scene kept appearing on the entire front, in order to avoid the weapons stabbed by the Yuan army from the bottom up, the Shu army chose to curl up, not to fight hard with the Yuan army under the earthen wall, but to aim the weapons in their hands at the place where the wooden plank was placed, as long as the Yuan army showed its head, it would be attacked fiercely immediately, the Yuan army attacked for nearly half an hour, but none of the Yuan soldiers could gain a firm foothold on the earthen wall.
Lei Bo sent the supervising team forward again, and if they did not retreat, the supervising team went up with a knife, and more than a dozen bloody heads stimulated the hearts of the Yuan soldiers, and they rushed towards the Shu army with crazy shouts.
The Shu army did not have the slightest timidity because of the madness of the enemy, as Zhou Tai said, this is their last line of defense, if the enemy breaks through, then it will inevitably die in the end, in this case, it has to be put to death and reborn.
A Shu soldier was stabbed in the rib by Yuan Jun, and the blood flowed profusely, but Yuan Jun did not give him time to bandage his wounds, and two Yuan soldiers stepped on the top of the earthen wall with ring-headed knives. Several comrades-in-arms around this Shu soldier have all been killed in a round of onslaught by the Yuan army just now, he is the only survivor, the price is that he is injured in the ribs, the Shu soldiers who are filling the position are coming, if these two Yuan soldiers are allowed to jump off the earthen wall, a little containment, there will be more Yuan troops into the killing Shu army array, he thought of Zhou Tai's order - unless you fall, you are absolutely not allowed to let the enemy pass in front of you, a bleak smile suddenly appeared on his face, I saw him throw away the weapon in his hand and jump up like a tiger, His arms stretched out like eagles, and before the two Yuan soldiers could react, he rolled off the earthen wall with one in his hand.
The frantic lifting of this Shu soldier caused a small confusion in the Yuan army below, and after they reacted and split the body of this Shu soldier with a knife, the Shu army that filled the position had arrived, blocking the Yuan army's advance......
This battle lasted from after lunch until sunset, and the Second Fleet of the Navy suffered nearly 3,000 casualties, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
Seeing that the sky was dark, Lei Bo ordered people to collect the wreckage of the fence of the Shu army, and lit more than a dozen piles of flames in the camp.
The soldiers on both sides fought fiercely for a whole day, and their physical exertion was already very serious, but they had to endure hunger and fight with the enemy.
The left flank of the battalion was garrisoned by Ma Dai, and they not only had a complete fence defense, but also the same earthen wall connected to the Zhoutai defense line, but since the battle, Lei Bo had not sent a single soldier to attack except for a small number of soldiers to monitor him, which could not help but make him a little depressed.
Eager to fight, he saw that Yuan Jun had no intention of doing anything to him, and considering that Zhou Tai had fought for a whole afternoon, not to mention the huge casualties, and the soldiers were still hungry, he sent someone to ask Lu Su, hoping that Lu Su would agree to him to lead a part of the soldiers to support Zhou Tai. Lu Su agreed to his request without hesitation, but asked him to leave a strong guard against the Yuan army in case the Yuan army sneaked up. Ma Dai gladly complied, leaving 1,000 soldiers to defend, and personally led the remaining 3,000 men to support Zhou Tai.
Zhou Tai, who was covered in blood, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ma Daiden, he was feeling struggling, and he was still thinking about whether to ask for help, but he didn't expect the reinforcements to arrive.
With the addition of the 3,000 troops of the Ma Dai Army, the momentum of Yuan's attack was immediately contained.
The two sides fought for another hour, until the sky was full of stars, and the generals of the Yuan army had the courage to ask Lei Bo that the soldiers were no longer able to fight, hoping to withdraw the troops for the time being, and then make the final battle with the Shu army tomorrow.
Lei Bo also knew that it was impossible to break through the defense line of the Shu army today, not to mention that he had already broken through the Shu army camp, and the demise of the Shu army was a foregone conclusion.
Lei Bo couldn't give up the half of the enemy camp that he had fought with great difficulty, and called Zhu Sheng, the general of Zhonglang under his command, and ordered him to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to garrison the Shu camp, and repeatedly warned him to be vigilant, if the Shu army attacked, he must resist desperately, and wait for him to send troops to support. Although Zhu Sheng felt that it was too dangerous to be stationed under the nose of the enemy camp, he looked at Lei Boyin's eyes, and swallowed the words of refusal to his mouth.
After the two sides dismissed, in view of the hot weather, if the corpses of the dead were not dealt with in a hurry, they would rot and fester, breed mosquitoes and flies, not to mention, and easily cause plague, so the Shu army shouted to Yuan Jun according to the custom, hoping that the other party would agree to collect the corpses of their own soldiers.
Lei Bo did not object, and each of the two armies sent 500 unarmed soldiers to collect the bodies of their own dead.
It took more than an hour to collect the bodies of the dead.
Soon, a majestic fire ignited at the same time in the formation of the two armies not far away, and the smell of burnt paste in the air attracted the wild wolves and vicious dogs in the distance, and bursts of wolf howls and dog barking sounded in the sky from time to time.
Lu Su, Zhou Tai, Sima Lang, Ma Dai, Ling Cao, tens of thousands of soldiers and people stood solemnly in front of the flames, quietly watching their comrades in the fire being devoured......
Until the flames were extinguished, only a pile of dry bones remained of the comrades in the fire, and no one moved a footstep.
After cooling, everyone stepped forward to silently collect the bones for the soldiers, put them into the pottery urn, and after each piece of bones was collected, the clerk stepped forward and solemnly wrote the names of the fallen soldiers, the number of the troops and the place of origin on the pottery urn.
On this day, the Shu army lost a total of 3,644 casualties, of which the remains of 38 were not found, and more than 3,250 were wounded, a reduction of more than one-fifth.
Yuan's army lost more than 7,300 people killed and more than 5,000 wounded, just one day, not counting the direction of Shucheng, the troops in Lei Bo's hands suffered a quarter of the casualties, which is not tragic.
