Behind was a brigade of Hun cavalry shouting to catch up, and their two thousand people rode the snatched war horses and galloped towards the river, "Brothers, there are still more than twenty miles to arrive, I have arranged the boats to meet over there in advance, come on, everyone!" Bai Yunfan's head began to drowsy, and this famous general, who had been drinking blood on the battlefield for many years, suddenly felt that death was so close to him.
"If I am unfortunate enough to walk in front of my brothers, you must not be impulsive, if you can get rid of one by one, you must not fall in love." Whether he could hold on to it or not, Bai Yunfan had no bottom in his heart, and for the first time, he felt weak and helpless. "Guys, I'm sorry."
He suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, and the red liquid flowed down the steel-whiskered stubble at the corners of his mouth to his neck, and his handsome face in the moonlight was full of sickly weakness.
"My lord, at our current speed, we will soon be able to make it to the river."
"Take care, my lord! This little injury is a fart to you, I want to ...... back then.
Some of the soldiers after the break suddenly stopped to fight with some of the cavalry who were chasing the ground, and Bai Yunfan smiled bitterly: "Old Man Ning is a well-known fox, since he carefully laid this cover for me to get in, how could he be so kind to let me go home." ”
Everyone was silent for a while, everyone was in the same mood, but they didn't know what to say. A young officer suddenly sang in a low voice: "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green. The evening breeze is full of willow flutes, and the sunset is ...... outside the mountain"
Because he was riding on a horse, his singing voice was intermittent, sometimes high and sometimes low. But it infected everyone present, and everyone couldn't help but hum along: "The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, half of the acquaintances." A pot of turbid wine is full of joy, don't dream cold tonight. ”
The singing voice was low and euphemistic, if it was not as complained, all the soldiers were in a violent spirit. This song is a testimony of Bai Yunfan's brotherly affection, his subordinates can basically sing it, and at this time, he suddenly revisited every trace of the past, Bai Yunfan's mood began to relax like everyone, and his originally exhausted body was instantly filled with infinite strength and fighting spirit, and a domineering spirit that defied the world and who else was filled with the Bai family army again.
"Drive!" Bai Yunfan slammed the war horse down with the back of his sword, and the troops suddenly accelerated like sharp arrows off the string, leaving the chasing Hun soldiers behind them in a blink of an eye. A few minutes later, a large number of Hun soldiers passed by, leaving behind the corpses of 2,000 men and horses, including more than 100 troops from China.
Bai Yunfan's surprise attack on Dingbian City this time was unsuccessful, but instead took five or six thousand top-notch elite soldiers, at this time, the blood of the unrewarded ambition seemed to be boiling, and the frustration and hatred were intertwined in the depths of his heart, and he had fallen into a state of semi-madness. And everything is just like Bai Yunfan said, the opponent who came from Zhang Chu from afar is an old fox, and he does things in a dense and meticulous way. Just when the Bai Jiajun finally bypassed the last mountain beam, and when the river was already in sight, Bai Yunfan suddenly saw a big banner reflected by hundreds of torches in front of him, and under it was a goose wing-shaped defensive formation formed by countless people and horses, and it was Ning Yuan who he didn't want to see the most.
"Lord Bai, it's been a long time!"
Ning Yuan hugged his fists on the horse for a long time, and his handsome face under the firelight showed a rare smile, which was a reward for his opponent and the most ruthless blow psychologically. Ning Yuan continued to smile: "I'm really sorry, this road doesn't seem to work." ”
Bai Yunfan suddenly felt dizzy, a rare trace of red appeared on his pale face, and a mouthful of blood gushed out of his heart, which he forcibly swallowed. "Old God Ning, Yun Fan is really admired, hahaha!" He raised the spear in his hand and pointed at his opponent from afar: "Since Bai has mixed up with this, he has nothing to say for a long time, come on!" ”
This valley is like an alley, the Xiongnu army has stubbornly blocked the retreat, and there is no suspense in this war. Ning Yuan's face sank, and he decisively ordered: "Kill all of them, and leave no one behind!" ”
Geng Chengzhi finally broke through Mr. Ning Da's defense line and successfully withdrew to the city of Jiezhou. His casualties were not small, almost half of the 40,000 heavy cavalry he brought out, nearly 10,000 infantry and elite cavalry also died, and of course, they also destroyed more than 2,000 cavalry of Mr. Ning Da.
Mr. Ning Da did not stop there. At the same time as Geng Chengzhi broke through the defensive line, he withdrew the troops responsible for blocking the attack, and at the same time replaced a new group of main forces, giving another feast to the defenders of Jiezhou City.
After all, it is an alliance between the two armies, and the main generals of all parties have a little selfishness, that is, to try to let the allies contribute more, and on his own side, if he can sacrifice less, he will sacrifice less, so he avoided Geng Chengzhi's sharp edge and put him back in the cage, followed by a dark onslaught, so that Xie Zhou's side had no time to take care of other things.
It was dark, and Zhang Chujun slowly retreated several miles and began to rest. They thought that Mr. Ning Da would not attack the city again, but they didn't expect that another group of troops would appear in just half an hour, and Mr. Ning Da's siege strength gradually strengthened with the deepening of the night, and he seemed to be determined tonight, and he must take Jiezhou City.
"This guy is crazy!" Geng Chengzhi ordered the defenders to leave a gap for the enemy soldiers to enter, and then sent a dense thunderbolt to cut off the reinforcements of the siege infantry, Geng Chengzhi shouted: "The sixth defender withdraws, and the sixth blocking team prepares!" ”
The infantry of the defending army retreated as they fought, and their dense bows and arrows killed some of the enemy troops who had just rushed up, effectively protecting the retreat of the other armies. After they left the city, they rested on the spot as the commander had arranged, waiting for new orders.
A gap in the wall was found in the distance, and the besieging troops immediately rushed in frenzy.
They were greeted by a dense barrage of thunderbolts and rolling logs, but many of the soldiers still climbed to the top of the city and rushed into the city.
Quan Daiyu led his subordinates to engage in street battles with the enemy forces who had slipped through the net.
After all, it was night, and no matter how bright the torches were, they couldn't see too far away, and Mr. Ning Da never dreamed that Xie Zhou would dare to put the siege army into the city and then fight behind closed doors. Geng Chengzhi applied the theory of ground defense proposed by Xue Yiran in the competition to select generals for attacking the Xiongnu that year, and Bai Yunqi put forward the theory of defense in order to deal with the considerations: use long-distance weapons to fully kill and injure the enemy, and use the opportunity of the enemy to climb the city wall to fully kill and injure the enemy. Then abandon the walls and fight for every inch of land with the enemy, taking advantage of the favorable conditions of familiarity with the terrain to defend.
Of course, this time, they put the ideas that Bai Yunqi didn't dare to say back then into reality. After letting the enemy into the city, use a strong bow and crossbow to deal a fatal blow first, and then destroy them one by one after they are broken into pieces. Such a defense can minimize the attrition of one's own equipment and casualties of troops. They put in a part of the enemy army in an orderly and planned manner, and then slowly eliminated them in a purposeful and organized manner.
Mr. Ning Da finally sensed that something was wrong, and first ordered the sergeant to suspend the siege.
There was finally a moment of silence in the city of Jiezhou, but the war in the city continued. Quan Otomo led his troops to clear the remnants of the troops entering the city, and each group of people killed carefully searched for their swords, guns, arrows and crossbows to replenish their own consumption. Even if you shoot arrows, as long as you can use the land, you must pick them up again and use them for the next time you defend the city. Although their way of fighting to nurture war seems dangerous, it is actually the most effective way, which fully verifies the correctness and feasibility of Bai Yunqi's theory back then.
Ning Yuan frowned, scolded with hatred in his heart, and ordered his heavy cavalry to charge again, and Duanmu Ming on the Xiongnu side also cooperated with the offensive of the allies. Outflanked again from behind.
Their originally relaxed and happy mood had cooled down in the face of the reality that repeated charges were ineffective or even heavily damaged, and they began to seriously examine the terrain and reacquaint themselves with the opponent in front of them.
This dead-end terrain is indeed beneficial to them. Because of this locking the two ends and hitting the middle, the opponent has almost no possibility of escaping; But it was also extremely disadvantageous, because such a long and narrow terrain could not create a siege situation at all, let alone give full play to the advantage of the rapid charge of the heavy cavalry, and the soldiers who could really face the Chinese army were always those thousands of people, who were like small boats swaying in the wind and rain. Shake it hard, shake it hard, but it just doesn't sink.
Bai Yunfan didn't plan to run away at all, their goal was only how to kill and injure more enemies, their bet was their life, and of course they didn't hesitate to fight for more chips. To put it bluntly, it is. Killing one is enough, killing two earns one. But they should have earned more than ten each by now, and it stands to reason that the consumption is almost exhausted, but they are still so energetic that there is almost no damage, and this kind of confrontation makes the coalition forces who seem to have an absolute advantage quite annoyed.
Bai Yunfan looks relaxed here, but in fact, he also knows his own suffering. First of all, they suffered greatly due to the lack of physical strength and consumption and supplies, and after a night of rapid marching and more than a day of fighting, each of them had reached the point of collapse, and now only firm faith and determination to die could support them. When they knew that they could not break through, they took the initiative to form an optimal defensive phalanx, firmly nailed in the middle and let the enemy collide, that is, they insisted that Qingshan would not relax, and the opponent was really helpless for a while.
This phalanx is a small group of five people, a small team of ten people, and a large team of 100 people. Once it is running, everyone is responsible for the double responsibility of defense and attack, and when they get to the middle of the formation, they get a short rest, and even have the opportunity to get some dry food and water from the enemy, and then go inside to eat and drink while resting, and at the same time do not forget to refuel their comrades:
"Good! The angle of the big lid is sharp enough, and you can hang one after slaughtering one. ”
"Well, this kick of the ass dad is really amazing, I remember last time I just asked you to calculate like this, but that Hun kid seems to be even worse."
"Ha, old glans, you guy slaughtered someone, even if you don't care, why do you want to cut off his life? Wood has a little cock, what will people do in the future......"
……
Another charge passed, and there were a dozen of them lying down smiling. They didn't forget to tease their teammates before leaving:
"I still have half a catty of Xinghua Village here, the second child continues!"
"Brother Big Scar, I owe you five taels of silver to pay you back now, let's clear it now, don't bother me in the future."
"Brothers, my wife's body is not clean, whoever dares to beat his idea will have to flower willows, don't blame me for not reminding you."
The last one to speak was a killer, who was hit by an arrow to protect Bai Yunfan, and then closed his eyes contentedly after slashing and killing more than two dozen cavalrymen in succession.
Bai Yunfan glanced at the silver glittering Sumu River under the moonlight, and seemed to have heard the sound of rushing water in his ears. The spring snow melts and pours from the upper reaches of the Sumu River, and the water level is so high at this time of year that no amount of troops can help them as long as they can get on the boat and go down the river. But now that the Sumu River is around, this close distance has become an impassable distance, is this really providence?
The operation of the formation made him temporarily to the edge of facing the Hun soldiers, and a few heavy cavalry suddenly appeared around him, and several soldiers on the periphery were immediately scattered, and the spear flashed with a cold cold light, and he didn't even have the strength to raise the knife, so he had to try his best to block the long knife on the right, and at the same time turned sideways to give way to the vital point, and felt a cold right leg. More than a dozen guards rushed over together, barely resolving the crisis in front of them, but two people also fell. The formation here was suddenly a little scattered because of the departure of some personnel, and the Hun soldiers obviously noticed this, and several cold arrows flew over with a whistling sound.
"Boss, be careful."
"Lord Bai! Hide! ”
Bai Yunfan smiled bitterly, and could only try his best to destroy the war horse and flash to the side, while swinging his knife and slashing at the enemy on the opposite side, "This should be the last person I can kill, goodbye brothers!" At this moment, he knew that he could no longer escape the call of death, and at the same time as he took out the knife, he closed his eyes peacefully, and a trace of regret flashed in his heart: "Thousands of calculations, I never dreamed that I would be hit by an arrow, and it was a poisonous arrow, otherwise, I would definitely be able to lead them to rush to the river and successfully escape." ”
Two black shadows suddenly flew around him, and they were the elite killers that Wu Ming had worked so hard to train. When he saw Bai Yunfan's danger, he immediately left his position and came over to protect him.
On the Huns' side, several cold swords flew in, and this time the target was them, but the two killers didn't see it at all, and they still shot to block the dark arrows flying towards Bai Yunfan, and at the same time they became hedgehogs.
The defensive position on this side was in disarray, and immediately more than a dozen people were scattered and isolated by the enemy army, and they were quickly digested in the chaos. Bai Yunfan immediately went crazy! With the last of his strength, he shouted:
"Brethren! I Bai Yunfan has been in the army for many years, and I can't imagine that today I have become everyone's tiredness. Apologies! Two lines of tears unconsciously flowed out of his tiger's mouth, and he looked at the great rivers and mountains in front of him again, as well as the comrades-in-arms who were reluctantly fighting for his safety and were still fighting to the death, and suddenly made up his mind: "Bai Rui listens to the order!" I order you to lead your troops to break through the siege, and then wander among the mountains, forests and grasses, and strive to join forces with Your Majesty as soon as possible. After I die, I will not be able to fight, and those who violate it will be killed! ”
After speaking, he suddenly turned his long knife and stabbed it towards his heart. The people around him never dreamed that he would commit suicide, and when he reflected it, he couldn't stop it, Bai Yunfan broke out of the camp before he died, and galloped towards the heavy cavalry of the Huns, and the corpse was quickly trampled into a pulp by the chaotic horse, and a generation of famous generals disappeared.
Bai Rui is also one of the old generals of Baifu, and he is also a man who would rather bend. Bai Yunfan's suicide once again ignited everyone's desperate fighting, and the rock-solid phalanx was formed again, and the overall strength was suddenly strengthened a lot, and they slammed into Ning Yuan's camp under the protection of the formation, and rushed forward with lightning speed.
The country is picturesque, how many heroes at one time!
