Chapter 291: (Counterattack)

"Lord Wang, the red-eyed thief has retreated, about five miles away from the village, and is cooking on the fire."

Shangguan Yin Feng looked tired, he led the cavalry to rush and kill before, although he was not injured, but the cavalry battle was indeed too physically exhausting: "The real white-knuckle battle is really not what the novel is written..."After saying to himself, he looked at Huang Wei who came to report: "Chen Tong expected that we were tired and hungry, so he blatantly burned the fire to cook, it is estimated that he will order an attack tonight, and the order will go down, the whole army will quickly bury the pot and cook, and take time to rest after eating, it is estimated that there will be a fierce battle tonight." ”

"Lord Wang, the houses in the north of the village have suffered serious losses, many of our troops have been burned to death, and many soldiers have been wounded, if the enemy attacks again tonight, the last general is worried that the north of the village will not be able to hold it."

Liang Xi's words are not unreasonable, the village is not a township, let alone a city, relying on the support of the city, it can be held out, but now it is on the unobstructed plain, the distribution of roads and rivers around the village makes the defense in all directions different, and the defense in the north of the village was originally built on the surrounding houses, and now the houses have been burned down seriously, relying on the terrain and the resistance of the Red Mei Army is a little weak.

"Abominable Chen Tong..."After greeting Chen Tongzu for the eighteenth generation, Shangguan Yin Feng couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's this king who is too light on the enemy, in other words, this king is too proud." ”

Since the general of the Xiaocai raised his army, Shangguan Yin Feng really suffered a loss because he was chased by Li Yanqing's Liaobei cavalry to Tangyin County during the Anyang War, and he even felt powerless with more than a dozen people to kill the enemy, and once again it was the battle in the two realms of the town of Hell a month ago, although he was at a disadvantage, but Mao San and others, who still killed with their own courage, could not completely take the underworld.

It can be said that Shangguan Yin Feng, who must win every battle, suddenly felt a trace of powerlessness tonight, a trace of powerlessness that could not be used against Chen Tong and other tens of thousands of Red Eyebrow troops: "Maybe it is really the enemy army that has suddenly become smarter, and the wisdom of this king is still at a low level, which makes the opponent see through his thoughts..."

This sudden self-criticism made the generals under his command a little overwhelmed, and Huang Wei took the lead and said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates are willing to order two thousand cavalry to attack the enemy from the front, and Lord Wang can retreat first." ”

"The last will go..."

"The last general is willing to be a cover, please retreat first..."

At this moment, Shangguan Yin Feng felt a burst of warmth in his heart, at least the comfort he got when he felt a little weak, he thought in his heart, if it was Yin Lihua or Shen Lihua at this moment, no matter how bad it was Liang Yan, Liang Xin, or even Murong Xue, he could make himself much more comfortable.

"Hmph..."Shangguan Yin Feng snorted coldly, and all the generals were a little at a loss: "This king attacked Zhuangzhou at night with 8,000 hussars, and even entered the Jia Fu camp alone, only with the Song brothers, more than 100,000 people surrounded the surroundings, and he was not frightened at all, and now this king has hundreds of thousands of troops, and he is powerless just to be frustrated in this Shahua Village, and he Chen Tong looks up to this king too much, and in front of you, it also seems that this king is too bad..."

"I don't dare," the generals said with their fists clenched and bowed their heads.

"Pass the order, the positional battle consumes the living force, it is obvious that Chen Tong is transferring troops and sending generals, and he wants to be caught off guard by this king in Shahua Village, maybe this guy is deliberately depleting, and waiting for the follow-up army will not necessarily..."Shangguan Yin Feng looked at the generals and said: "Since Chen Tong looks up to this king so much, then this king can't live up to him Chen Tong." ”

"Please show the prince..."Huang Wei took the lead and asked.

Shangguan Yin Feng pointed to the map behind him and said: "The water source in the village is sufficient, collect the grain of each household in the village, hoard it all in the center of the village, build rammed earth low walls in the north and west of the village, use it for the musket team, and dig more horse pits. ”

"Lord Wang, our reinforcements?"

Facing Fan Wenhui's question, Shangguan Yin Feng raised the corners of his mouth and said: "Li Chengdong and Cheng Qingzhi are only eighty miles away from us, the cavalry is instantaneous, and the foot soldiers can arrive in one day, Cheng Qingzhi is not a fool, Chen Tong mobilized troops to surround us on such a large scale, just to wipe out all of us here, but this scale is too large, and the sentinels of the Western Route Army must know the situation, so this king pressed all the treasures on Li Chengdong and Cheng Qingzhi, this battle depends on whether they can react." ”

"Kill..."

"Block them..."

"The prince has an order, the brothers who are alive in this battle will be rewarded with ten gold, ten silk horses, and all the brothers, fight bravely to kill the enemy."

"Roar..."

"Shoot the arrows..."

On June 16, at three o'clock, after a day and a night of fighting, Shangguan Yin Feng also looked a little tired, sitting in the big tent in the village and listening to the generals' reports.

"Lord Wang, the north of the village has fallen, and the earthen wall made of rammed earth has also collapsed, fortunately, the brothers of the Shenji Battalion desperately blocked the attack of the Red Mei Army, but the casualties of the musket team still reached 100 people."

"The west end of the village has suffered heavy losses, all the houses have been burned down, and now our department has built a low wall with rammed earth to block the red-eyed thieves, with nearly two thousand casualties, and our department now has less than two thousand soldiers left, Lord Wang, can you make the next step."

"The battle in the east of the village is not big, but it was attacked by a powerful rain of arrows and spears, and more than 1,000 people were killed in an hour, and now there are less than 1,000 people.

The next step of the report general is to ask Shangguan Yin Feng on the side, whether he can choose to retreat at the last moment, the infantry can now fight less than 5,000 people, but there are still 5,000 cavalry, if it can't be stopped, you can also let the cavalry cover, retreat first, and then rush to Li Chengdong's headquarters.

Shangguan Yin Feng frowned and looked at the generals, all with tired looks, many generals and battalion generals were injured, that is, Fan Wenhui's hands were wrapped in bandages, and now these people asked these questions, but as the lord, he couldn't help but answer: "The casualties in our department are serious, but the Red Eyebrow Army is also not small, and the pressure in the north of the village is the greatest, so the musket team is all in the north of the village, and it is because of the existence of the musket team that it has blocked several onslaughts of the Red Eyebrow Army, and it has now been a day, according to the time If Li Chengdong receives the news, We'll be there tonight. ”

"Please show the prince, will our army launch a counterattack tonight?" Huang Wei, as Shangguan Yin Feng's old subordinate, is most familiar with his lord's combat methods.

Looking at the generals, Shangguan Yin Feng nodded: "Chen Tong must not have imagined that this king, who was stubbornly guarding Shahua Village, would launch a counterattack tonight after holding on for a few days, our army was exhausted, but the Red Mei Army also did not have a good rest, ordered, Huang Botao, you order, the musket team will take out all the spare ammunition, take the Shenji battalion as the vanguard, and use firearms to open the gap in the north of the village, this prince will lead the cavalry to make a detour from the east of the village to attack the north of the village, Huang Wei, you lead the rest of the foot soldiers to assist Huang Botao to launch an attack from the north of the village, Liang Xi, Fan Wenhui, The two of you will go out from the west of the village, try to make a big noise, and if you can defeat the Red Eyebrow army in the west of the village, go to the north of the village to support. ”

"At the beginning of tonight, launch a counterattack."

"No..."
