Chapter 441: Facing the Snow Shore of Nakajima
Nangong Ran looked at the anxious expression on Ling Xia's face, and thought that Ling Xia was in a hurry to see that he had robbed him of his credit, looking at Ling Xia's appearance of clenching his fists and stomping his feet at the moment, Nangong Ran's heart rose a trace of satisfaction, what he wanted was this effect, he just wanted to prove that he Nangong Ran was stronger than Ling Xia in front of all the generals and soldiers of the corps, thinking of this, he mocked:
"The surname Ling, will he fight? Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you actually ordered a ban on pursuit? At this time, the Japanese cavalry was trapped in the trap area arranged by our army, unable to play a role, and the rear of the Japanese infantry was isolated, and at this moment it was a great opportunity for our army to pursue and kill the enemy, and a distance of only a few hundred meters could catch up in an instant, but you were cowardly and timid, I really couldn't stand it.
You are incompetent, you will not be confused, the three corps under my command have caught up with each other at the moment, as long as we deal with these infantry of the Japanese Bandits, and then take advantage of the situation to kill the cavalry corps in the trap area, we can take advantage of the city gate when it is not closed to lead the troops to attack the city gate, such a good fighter you don't know how to grasp, it is simply incompetent, a cowardly and incompetent person like you, actually ......"
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Before Nangong Ran's words were finished, suddenly, countless fireballs emitting billowing black smoke were thrown from within the walls of the Japanese Koukou City, and those fireballs were all burning with raging flames, smashing towards the three legions under Nangong Ran's command like a meteorite impact.
Countless soldiers were smashed on their heads and bled out, and many soldiers were directly smashed into pulp, seeing this scene, Nangong Ran was stunned at first, and after coming back to his senses, his eyes showed panic, and he roared with a shocked face; "Retreat, retreat, retreat quickly......"
Although Nangong Ran's side kept roaring and shouting, the battle guards in front couldn't hear it at all, they had been dizzy by those fire bombs at the moment, and they had already been in a mess, and they didn't care about Nangong Ran's orders at all.
Inside the city wall, Nakajima Yukian looked at the battle situation outside the city with a happy face, he had seen the infantry legion break through to the battle guards, and he was worried that the legion would be eaten by the battle guards, so he hurriedly ordered the army to retreat.
At the beginning, he saw Ling Xia's cautious style, and he was a little disappointed, originally Nakajima Xue'an didn't expect the battle guards to pursue the bait he sent, but he never expected that Nangong Ran would disobey the order to pursue the bait, and when he saw the three infantry legions chased by the battle guards, his face was suddenly overjoyed.
Nakajima Yukian stared at the pursuers of the battle guards under the city, when he saw that the decoy legion had withdrawn to a safe area, and the pursuers of the war guard happened to enter the range of the catapult, seeing this, he immediately ordered the catapult to fire, and saw that the three legions of the war guard were smashed into all directions and fled, and he ordered the decoy legion under the city to counterattack the war guards.
After receiving the military order, the three Japanese infantry corps, which had been rapidly retreating, immediately turned to attack, they showed their weapons, and launched an attack on the infantry of the battle guards behind them under the cover of fire bullets. Seeing that he had taken the initiative on the battlefield, Nakajima Yukigan ordered the cavalry at the gate of the city to abandon their horses and support the Japanese infantry corps on foot.
At this time, Nakajima Xue'an urgently needed a victory to boost morale, he knew that he was inferior to the strength of the battle guards, so he didn't plan to fight Ling Xia's army head-on, he only needed to annihilate the three battle guard infantry corps under the city to revive morale, so Nakajima Xue'an wanted to fight fast, and then quickly collect his troops back to the city.
Seeing that his legions were trapped under the city wall, and seeing the soldiers being frantically slashed and killed by the Japanese infantry and cavalry, Nangong Ran felt a trace of chagrin in his heart, he regretted his blindness and impulsiveness extremely at this time, and wanted to slap himself, if he wasn't greedy for merit, if he hadn't disobeyed the military order, how could those soldiers be ambushed?
Although his intestines were about to turn green at this time, Nangong Ran refused to admit his mistake, he rode a war horse, pointed at everyone with a whip, and scolded in his mouth: "What are you all doing in a daze?" Hurry up and send troops to support, don't you see an ambush in my legion? If you dare to see death and not save you, even if I spare you, the Metropolitan Governor of Nangong will not let you go......"
"Master Horse ordered to prohibit pursuit, who made you disobey the order to pursue?"
"If you weren't greedy for merit, how would the soldiers be in danger?"
"Remove your whip for me, or I'll chop off your claws."
"Can't spare us? Bah, what right do you have to say this? ”
"You don't use Nangong Xiongba to scare people, you think we are afraid of him."
"That is, do you think Nangong Xiongba's name can scare us?"
"It's obvious that you are greedy for merit, but you still have the face to stand here and shout?"
"We're not going to send troops, and we're waiting for us to come to our aid."
"Yes, once reinforcements are in range, the pirates will continue to throw fireballs."
"It's not that we can't save us when we die, but we really can't send troops to support at this moment."
Seeing Nangong Ran provoke such a big basket, instead of realizing his mistake, he was arrogant and domineering, and the generals of the corps were all angry, and after Nangong Ran's voice fell, everyone reprimanded Nangong Ran word by word, and some people even pulled out their weapons and prepared to teach Nangong Ran a lesson, but at this time, Ling Xia spoke out and stopped everyone:
"Alright, everyone don't quarrel. The order went down, in view of Nangong Ran's disobedience to the military order, temporarily stripped him of his armor, accepted his handsome seal, relieved him of his position, hung him at the door of the barracks to show the public, and waited for the matter here to be resolved, and sent someone to send him to the Nangong Metropolitan Governor, he is a member of the Nangong family, let the Metropolitan Governor deal with him.
Although Nangong Ran is guilty, but the soldiers are innocent, we must save them, pass on our military order, dispatch three shield soldier legions to meet the trapped infantry, and then send two siege crossbow legions to suppress the Japanese Invaders remotely, the cavalry suppresses the formation, and when saving people, remember one thing, we must not enter the range of the Japanese Kou catapults. ”
After arranging these, Ling Xia silently stared ahead, watching the shield soldiers and crossbow soldiers pick up some of the attacked battle guards back, Ling Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, Nangong Ran's scolding came from behind him.
It turned out that when Yue Qianfeng led the soldiers to deal with Nangong Ran, he didn't expect Nangong Ran to refuse to cooperate, and scolded vigorously, seeing that Nangong Ran was arrogant and unreasonable, Yue Qianfeng was angry and reasoned with Nangong Ran.
Seeing this, Ling Xia walked to Nangong Ran's side with a gloomy face, at this time Nangong Ran was sitting on horseback with an arrogant face, Ling Xia came to him, and dragged Nangong off the horse without saying a word.
Then Ling Xia kicked Nangong Ran wildly in front of all the soldiers of the corps, and after kicking, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then he said to Yue Qianfeng while sorting out his clothes: "Remember, try not to make noise about the things that can be done in the future." ”
After saying this, Ling Xia sighed helplessly: "It's a pity, such a good situation was ruined in the hands of Nangong Ran, after this battle, I'm afraid the morale of the Japanese Kou has recovered." ”
