Chapter 299: (Bloody Battle III)

"Royal..."

"Phew..."

At the beginning of the day, Zhang Lan led the army to attack the right flank of Li Yanqing's front army, and Han Xiao was also woken up early in the morning, and then began a day's battle.

Zhang Lan's subordinates also had a lot of arrows, and the tactics were also old-fashioned, first covered with a rain of arrows, and then the cavalry launched a charge, and after breaking through the gap, the foot soldiers followed, thus breaking this military formation.

The actual situation was completely different under Zhang Lan's assumption, the 2,000 cavalry were basically wiped out in front of the formation, and the 10,000 foot soldiers who followed behind were left with a few thousand of them retreating, exactly the same as the situation of Su Mao on the previous day.

"General, the battalion of the front army has suffered heavy casualties, and I also ask the general to order the left army or the right army to assist in the battle." The former army commander ran to Zhang Lan with a frightened face and asked for help.

Zhang Lan was a servant before joining the army, and had some martial arts, but at this moment, seeing that the 15,000 people in his front army were defeated by the shield array of only 3,000 people in front of him, he was furious, and then ordered: "Pass the order, the left army and the right army will all be dispatched, and the Chinese army will stay behind and kill with this general." ”

"Kill..."

"Archers release arrows..."

"Throw..."

......

Outside Qucheng County

When Song Zijiang and Song Zixian arrived in Qucheng County with 30,000 soldiers, there was no army in the city, and the hundreds of old and weak soldiers who stayed behind looked at the sudden Cheng Dynasty army, and were immediately frightened and abandoned the city.

When the Song brothers rode into Qucheng, they saw the families of some of the soldiers trapped by Zhang Shou, but most of them had already been killed and their bodies were thrown into the sea.

"Mother...", a Donglai soldier knelt on the ground and cried, hurrying slowly, but he was still a step too late.

Song Zijiang caught a servant and asked, it turned out that many of the soldiers and their families who were captured were driven to the beach after arriving in Qucheng, shot with arrows, and the corpses rushed into the sea, even the remaining people were because of the start of the Wanlisha War, Zhang Shou led the army to leave, and he couldn't take care of these people, so a group survived, and the number was only thousands.

"The dog said, Lao Tzu wants to avenge his family..."

"Father, mother, the child will kill the enemy and avenge your old man..."

"The hatred of killing my father is not shared, and I must kill this group of miscellaneous people..."

Before Song Zijiang could launch a psychological offensive, the 30,000 soldiers under his command expressed their hearts one after another.

"General, all my family members have been killed, the hateful old thief Zhang Shou, the red-eyed thief has a blood feud with us, and I ask the general to take me to the Wanlisha battlefield to avenge my family..."

"Please call the shots, General..."

Tens of thousands of soldiers knelt down towards Song Zijiang in unison, and at this moment they were already ready to fly, the anger of the soldiers turned into killing intent, and God took the initiative to defeat the Red Eyebrow Army.

"Zixian..."Song Zijiang turned his head to look at his younger brother beside him and said: "According to the plan of the general, you take 5,000 people to Donglai County to recover the rest of the places, all the red-eyed thieves went to Wanlisha, only Zhang Hong is still in Changyang City, you recover various counties along the way, and then collect materials, and garrison Changyang City, I believe that Changyang City does not have many troops, if you can take Changyang, although you can capture it, you can't take it, stationed on the spot and waiting for reinforcements, you must not let go of a red-eyed thief." ”

"Don't worry, brother, I'll take care of everything."

"Soldiers, we don't share the sky with the red-eyed thief, and we will go to Wanlisha with this general to kill the enemy..."

"Commanded..."

In the second year of Mukden, the fifth day of the seventh month

Li Yanqing led the army to hold out in Wanlisha for nine days, and there was still an hour before it got dark, and then the 20,000 soldiers of the Xiaowu Battalion under his command were now less than 4,000 people left, and most of them were wrapped in bandages, and the corpses on the periphery of the defense line were piled up.

"General, our army has been holding out for nine days, why haven't Song Zijiang and the others arrived yet?" Zhang Xiong was furious, and originally agreed to launch a general attack in ten days, but as a bait, they had held out in the camp for nine days, with more than half of the casualties, but they did not wait for Song Zijiang's reinforcements to arrive.

Li Yanqing's hand holding the spear has been trembling slightly, just to maintain maximum restraint, there is no obvious expression, the battle between yesterday and this morning has made him exhausted, he has not closed his eyes for three days, as long as he closes his eyes, he can definitely fall asleep: "After this general is under the command of the prince, I am grateful to Dade, the prince is eloquent and strategic, and he will definitely be able to top China, and the general has decided to die on this thousand miles of sand, adding a force to the prince's heroic journey." ”

Zhang Xiong is physically strong, and the more he kills, the more brave he becomes, not like Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing's strategic and tactical vision is very high, but his personal bravery can only be average, and if he really wants to put a historical celebrity, it can only be Han Xin, or Li Ji of the Tang Dynasty.

"General system, since Bajun followed the prince, he has been deeply favored by the prince, and now since the general has been full of the determination to die, then the general will also follow the general, kill more red-eyed thieves, and contribute to the prince."

Li Yanqing stood up with the help of a spear, and then ordered: "General Zhang, the front army defense line will be handed over to you, the general is no longer strong, but he can still stand in front of the formation, cheer up the soldiers, if the enemy breaks through the defense line, the general will cherish himself." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xiong hugged his fists and saluted Li Yanqing, but without saying a word, he turned around and left with his personal guards.

Right flank line

There are only about 500 soldiers left under Han Xiao's command, and only two hundred households are still alive with the highest official rank among the generals in the battalion, and the rest are all killed in battle, even him, who is now also suffering from multiple knife wounds, and after being bandaged, he continues to kill the enemy.

Baihu Zuo Sanshan's face was covered with blood, he himself was not injured, but he was also exhausted, looking at the Red Eyebrow Army who had retreated not far away, he put the Yanling knife in his hand that had been blunted on the ground, and took a deep breath: "Lao Qin, it seems that you and my brother will not survive tomorrow." ”

Baihu Qin Han wiped the blood on his face, replaced the Yanling knife that was also blunt, sat on the ground, gasped for breath, took the water handed over by his subordinates, and drank it in a big gulp: "Lao Zhang, Lao Chen, they are dead, Lao Liu was also hacked to death just now, and only the two of us are left who survived this charge." ”

Zuo Sanshan took the water handed over by Qin Han, took a sip and said: "It's been nine days, our battalion has held out for nine days, and the reinforcements haven't arrived yet. ”

"Oh..."Qin Han looked at Zuo Sanshan and said, "Old Zuo, are you so sure?" ”

"Now that our army has held out for nine days, and has run out of food and water, and has attacked day and night for three consecutive days, but has suddenly retreated just now, I am sure that tonight the red-eyed thieves will launch a surprise attack and break us in one fell swoop. Old Qin, do you think you still have the strength to stop it? ”

Not only Li Yanqing, but all the rest of the people have not closed their eyes for three days, the enemy army is fighting in batches, and after the battle, they will rest for half an hour at most, and attack again, if it were not for the overlap of corpses, so that the cavalry could not attack, otherwise they would have been defeated a long time ago.

"Lao Qin, when the battle is tonight, Lao Tzu can't take care of you, you and my brother, we will meet again in the next life..."Zuo Sanshan said with a smile, and after drinking the last sip of water, he got up and went to his own defense line.
