Chapter 1787: The Battle of Shouchun (68)

Ji Ling was originally a fierce general, and now he is relying on Lujiang City, but also the four sides of the building, the Xuzhou army that he is targeting, none of them can survive three rounds, most of them are almost just on the city tower and were directly killed by the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand, such a killing method, ruthless and fruitful, there will be no superfluous action, and he also strives to be fatal with a knife, not only can save physical strength, the key can share the pressure for the defenders.

It can be said that there is a place for him, it is equivalent to erecting a wall, watching the Xuzhou army just climb the battlement, just a head, the three-pointed two-edged knife instantly appeared in front of the enemy, such a scene to the morale of the encouragement is huge, for a time the morale of the Lujiang defenders is high, shouting to meet the attack, almost a short time, on the Lujiang city tower, the screams come and go, but this time there is no Lujiang defenders, all of them are Xuzhou army, among which the Xuzhou army fell from the city tower is the most.

The screams came and went, and the fierce battle did not stop, although there was a fierce wall, but the radiation area of this wall was limited after all, in other directions, the battle was not like a one-sided slaughter on this side, but it was unusually tragic, the bravery of the Xuzhou army made the Lujiang defenders pay a great price of casualties, although they were also fighting bravely to kill the enemy, but the gap between strength and ability, in front of the Xuzhou army that attacked like a tide, was vulnerable, and the Xuzhou army charged wave after wave, so that they had almost no respite, But with the presence of Ji Ling, although the battlements are captured from time to time, they will soon regain control.

This is the real cruel and tragic siege warfare, and the battle between square inches often requires countless lives in exchange.

The price paid by the Xuzhou army made Zhang Liao a little distressed, looking at such a crazy Lujiang defender, he can be sure that the first attack was an illusion, not the normal level of the Lujiang army, of course, it can never be the normal level of the Lujiang defenders now, more precisely, they played a long time, which definitely played a role, but morale is not the same at the defensive and offensive levels.

If Lujiang's troops are on the offensive now, then with their high morale, they may really be repulsed, but they are now on the defensive, and there are many options for opening their jaws, of course, the best choice is to suspend the attack, so that their morale begins to fall before attacking, and at that time, they will not be as brave as they are now when they fight against the Lujiang defenders under normal circumstances.

The Lujiang defenders who have changed to the real level of their ability are at most average now, and the Xuzhou army is fighting with them, and the damage will be much smaller.

It's just that the command is not here now, and in the hands of Zhang Jaw beside him, Zhang Liao's current idea, if he is the main general, he will definitely implement it immediately, but at this time he can only suggest, but when he saw Zhang Jaw's expression, he smiled bitterly, because what he saw on Zhang Jaw's face was excitement.

He couldn't figure out why Zhang Jaw was getting more and more excited about such a tragic decisive battle at this time, under such a big loss?

Zhang Jaw understands what it means to know the times as a Junjie, but now, it is clear that the opponent is very weak, but it has become a showdown that Qihu is quite now, Zhang Jaw is dissatisfied, it is dissatisfied with this army, and he has already had a defeat experience, if he retreats like this, then whether it is to this newly formed army or to Liu Lan, he can't explain it, since this is the case, then he must take advantage of this battle to inject this army into the military soul of the Xuzhou Army fighting tenaciously and fighting to the death, since this is the case, then let the fierce battle become more fierceand see who will have the last laugh.

A newly formed army, soldiers drawn from three different troops, their composition is very mixed, but there is one thing they will more or less retain some of the traditions of the former troops, the good ones agree with the bad ones, so now Zhang Jaw is to inject them with a new military soul through this battle, which only exists in the military soul of the Xuzhou army.

Fight to the death!

Such a military spirit, perhaps with the fighting spirit or even the combat attribute to describe more appropriate, such a combat attribute, originated from the Youzhou Turret cavalry, since Emperor Guangwu passed on every turk knight soldiers, a full two hundred years, two hundred years, Youzhou Turquoise cavalry and foreign battles have created countless brilliance, and they are supported only by the four words of this death battle.

It's just four words, but the deep meaning it contains is very profound, because if they take a step back, then Hulu's iron hooves will invade their homeland along Liaodong, along Lulongsai, along Daijun, and Shanggu, so every soldier sticks to the bottom line for their homeland.

And inherited the tradition of the Turks on both sides, was perfectly inherited by Liu Lan and Yang Guangda, not only the dragoon army and even every Xuzhou army has this distinctive characteristic, and among these people, Zhang Jaw, who joined later, also became one of them, but the army he is now commanding, there is the first Moling Army in Taiwan, Zhang Liao's Yanzhou Army, such a mixed army of dragons and snakes, although after more than half a month of training, has begun to take shape, but they lack the real fighting attributes and spirit, and now they are among them, Perhaps most people are thinking about retreating, and there is no point in continuing to attack.

But this time when you encounter stubborn resistance and retreat, then next time, next time you will also retreat, this is like a habit, in the face of difficulties are used to retreating, when there are difficulties in the future, you will subconsciously choose to give up, and there is no longer the determination and courage to face difficulties.

And this is definitely not in line with the fighting spirit of the Xuzhou army, this battle can be lost, he can accept defeat, fiasco, but he can't accept the defeat of the nest, defeat will be defeated like a man, upright, stand up to the sky.

Therefore, Zhang Jaw not only did not express anything now, but was also a little excited, because he felt that the Lujiang defenders were a grinding iron stone, a good steel warrior, and they would definitely be tempered!

Maybe it will be a little cruel, because it means sacrifice, but he is more shameless than stealing life without courage, either standing and dying, or living forward, the creed of the Xuzhou army is only this one.

If the first battle was lost, Zhang Jaw chose to retreat because of helplessness, because of the overestimation of the troops, because of his own gains and losses, then after having a defeat experience, he would never allow the same thing to happen again, all the troops were killed, and even he himself was willing to accept military law, but if he was allowed to lead such a soft army to continue fighting, he was shameless and even more disdainful.

It is said that the soldiers are bearish, and the bears are in a nest, and the insistence of the open jaw allows the Xuzhou army to move forward, they launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on Lujiang, under the brave and crazy butcher's knife of the Lujiang army, they resisted to kill the city tower, and the unfavorable situation was mixed back little by little, and the fierce battle fell into a white heat.

Lujiang began to be tightened everywhere, and even Ji Ling himself couldn't withstand such a crazy attack of the Xuzhou army, and once he even proposed that Liu Xun let his troops come up to help, but Liu Xun didn't, in the final management, he still used the two thousand reserves he had reserved, if this reserve force was eliminated, then he could only accept Ji Ling's proposal, but now he would not agree, this is not a distrust of Ji Ling, but a distrust of the defeated army, and the point of them coming up is not much.

"Hold on, brothers, hold on to me!"

Liu Xun was shouting loudly, he wanted to boost the morale of the soldiers, so he even chose to go into battle in person and began to counterattack the Xuzhou army with Ji Ling.

This is his last effort, leading by example, hoping to have an effect, but the battlefield confrontation is like this, when their morale is at its highest, they failed to repel the Xuzhou army in one go, then when they are exhausted, they should have thought that it would be such a result first.

The fierce attack of the Xuzhou army, like the tide, rose and fell, and the Lujiang defenders did not have a moment of respite, but at the moment when the Lujiang River became precarious, Zhang Jaw blew the horn of retreat, which gave the Lujiang defenders a rare respite, but the purpose of Zhang Jaw choosing to retreat was to achieve his goal, of course, more importantly, he saw that the enemy's reserve was replenished, and there was no need to continue the crazy attack.

This army has been tempered, their temperament has changed, imperceptibly, maybe many people may not be able to see it now, but from their eyes, they clearly see the eyes like beasts, such eyes, can eat people!

Although he withdrew, but the attack on his troops stopped, he just used a special way, wheel warfare, first of all, Zhang Jaw rearranged the troops, divided the 50,000 people into ten teams, each team of 5,000 offensive squads, led by a captain, a team of drums attacked, Wenjin retreated, when they retreated, the second team continued to attack Lujiang, so ten troops continued to attack Lujiang in a continuous cycle, the purpose of which was first of all not to give the Lujiang defenders any respite, because their defenders were not many, But it can also ensure that its troops have enough time to rest and recuperate, killing two birds with one stone.

This way of attacking is absolutely amazing, even Zhang Liao secretly applauded in his heart, there are not many troops of 5,000 people, but it is enough for Lujiang to deal with it with all his might, so that they can completely contain the defenders of Lujiang, so that they can't move, they can't rest, but as long as they have a moment of relaxation, these 5,000 people have enough strength to take the city tower in one fell swoop.

And don't forget that there is also a rushing car, but whether the effect of rushing can be effective, it depends on Liu Xun's determination to guard the Lujiang River, if he is determined, then he can completely seal the city gate, we can't get in, he can't get out, and look at the situation when the car hits the city gate, this probability is very high, but their current siege method is to encircle the three queyi, so Zhang Liao feels that Liu Xun is more likely to seal the north gate and leave the south gate, but if he turns to attack the south gate now, let Liu Xun seal the south gate, then Lujiang City will be difficult to capture in a short time, The soldiers will defend to the death, and the gains outweigh the losses.

To put it bluntly, now that Zhang Jaw is attacking so fiercely, it is actually putting pressure on Liu Xun, as long as the defense line in his heart collapses, he gives up defending the city and chooses to evacuate, this battle will be simple, and the wolf riders will let them leave safely from the south gate, and then turn them into prisoners or even corpses one by one.

The consumption of the wheel war on the defenders of Lujiang is obvious, the defenders have become extremely difficult, they are about to be paralyzed, in this way, Lujiang City will have to be captured sooner or later, seeing that Lujiang is in danger, Ji Ling put forward his own suggestion for the third time, his troops must come up at this time, otherwise they will fight to death on the tower of Lujiang today.

"But ......" Liu Xun wanted to insist on it in the end, but was directly interrupted by Ji Ling: "It's nothing, can't you see the current situation, if you continue to consume like this, do you think Lujiang can hold it, do you want to die here?" He said that he passed down an order directly, and the Shouchun army that came with him began to climb the city tower one after another, and at this time he couldn't take care of it too much, so he guarded it today, and then thought about other things.

Liu Xun wanted to say that there was no point in saying anything, and finally nodded slowly, which was regarded as a response.

Although the Shouchun army is a remnant of the defeated army, their morale is low, but now the morale of the Lujiang defenders is also low, everyone is half a catty, no one affects anyone, they are all confused, full of worry and fear for the future, looking at their performance, Ji Ling and Liu Xun's eyes are dark, they are now powerless and helpless, but there is no way, can hold on for a moment.

Straw for the soldiers, try it and die in the end, but what if you survive?

Raise your head for me, if you don't want to die, you will kill the enemy for me, otherwise when the Xuzhou army attacks it, it will become a fucking ghost, if you just give up like this, that's good, the knife in your hand is still underground, Lao Tzu stands with you and does not resist, waiting for someone to cut off Lao Tzu's head, but if you still want to live, or go back to see your parents, wives and children, you will kill Lao Tzu, kill the Xuzhou army, and return to Shouchun!

After Ji Ling killed a Xuzhou soldier on the top of the city tower, he found that the soldiers around him were hiding far away, and few people dared to come up, he was angry, turned around and yelled, and this roar, Daigo empowerment general, there were some soldiers with confused eyes before, and suddenly there was a fine light in his eyes.

It was done, and there was a chance.

Liu Xun and Ji Ling both had such a thought in their hearts, they saw hope, at this moment hope seemed to come back again, they yelled to kill the Xuzhou army, and because of the addition of the Shouchun army, the effect of the wheel war of the Xuzhou army was greatly reduced, at this moment not only the Xuzhou army can be corrected, but the Shouchun army also began to follow suit, so that the wheel war of the Xuzhou army completely lost its meaning.

The army was able to get a good rest, and even Ji Ling, whose physical strength had been exhausted, also got a chance to breathe, and began to recover, and even drank water and ate cakes, full of water and food, and next, see how Lao Tzu hacked you birdmen to death one by one!

Ji Ling took a sip and said.
