Chapter 15: Thoughts on the Flames (19)
"What a man!"
"What a fierce general!"
"Wu Yong is only slightly inferior to Li Dujian."
Both the city and the city are secretly praising the fierce generals who wield giant axes and reap their lives in the chaotic army. And just behind this fierce general, the warriors who are also armed with big axes are also wantonly slashing and slashing the enemy troops in the chaos on the battlefield. The gate of Kunlun Pass was open, and a group of officers and soldiers armed with steel knives and axes rushed out.
The entire two commanded troops were reinforcements from Guizhou. Since Zhang Dian sent them out, this group of men and horses has galloped all the way south. He also traveled by boat first, then changed to a foot march, arrived in Pennsylvania in the afternoon of yesterday, and entered the Kunlun Pass at nightfall.
I spent the night resting in Sekijo. After a good night's sleep, looking at the countless military exploits outside the pass, they could no longer bear it. When Han Gang ordered Kaicheng to fight, the impact they erupted from was like a tiger coming out, making the Jiaozhi army irresistible.
The Jiaozhi army that attacked the city has been completely dispersed, and it was killed in front of the wolf-like Song army. When he was about to attack Kunlun, a group of new troops rushed out of the city. And they were all Song State officers and soldiers in red clothes, which made the Jiaozhi soldiers who thought that there were only a few Guangyuan troops left in Guancheng, and their hearts were flustered.
There were also people who were lucky, and several Jiaozhi officers shouted that this was the official army of the Song State pretended to be from Guangyuan, and a team of reinforcements was hurriedly sent from the rear. However, when the two commanded Jingnan troops restored order from the onslaught and slaughtered and formed an array under the city, their identities were beyond doubt.
There was a river of blood in front of the city, and the warriors of the Jiaozhi army who had just rushed to the front and wanted to take the lead in the city were all blocked from retreating, and none of them could escape back. The stumps and severed arms in one place, as well as countless corpse parts that were still twitching, were cleaned up under the city in just half an hour. Blood flowed wantonly on the official road, just like the rain of the previous days, but it was replaced with a bright red.
The strict military formation immediately pressed down the official road, and as soon as the big axe fell, a human life was taken away. The heavy axe was so vicious that even wearing armor and holding a shield could not withstand a blow from above. Split the head and shoulders, cut off the limbs and waist ribs, and when the hundred and ten axes were swung down at the same time, the soldiers standing in front of the formation were immediately crushed, and any resistance of the Cochin army appeared to be futile.
The swords and axes are like a forest, and the slowly marching military formation is like a stone grinder, crushing the enemy in front of it, and the silent but uniform axe swinging forward, not as exciting as rushing and killing in the enemy army. But such an attack can make every enemy soldier's heart cold and lose the will to fight back.
The sound of gold sounded behind the Jiaozhi army, and under the fierce offensive of the Song army, Li Changjie could only choose to temporarily avoid the edge. The Song army was in hot pursuit, slashing and killing the fallen enemy troops from behind, chasing them to the defense line composed of antlers and rejecting horses a mile away from the city.
The defensive line set up by Li Changjie extended one by one to the camp on the small stone slope in the rear. This is a symbol of the insecurity of the Jiaozhi army, and it is also a proof of their fear of the officers and soldiers. However, relying on this line of defense, the Jiaozhi army stuck behind the rejection of horses and antlers, and resisted the fierce attack of the Song army.
A large axe slashed the antlers heavily, and the obstacles tied up by layers of wrist-thick wood were more difficult than cutting people. And the Jiaozhi people, who hid behind the fence and desperately drew their bows and shots, brought a lot of casualties to the officers and soldiers, and made it more difficult for them to clear the obstacles.
In this case, it is necessary to scatter the enemy army with the crossbowmen. There was no need for Han Gang to give an order from behind, the Song army in the back row came up, and they began to shoot at the enemy with the Divine Arm Bow, but the Cochin Archers had a heavy wooden shield as a defense, and the effect of the Divine Arm Bow weakened a lot.
Han Gang watched the battle from the top of the city, squinting his eyes and watching his soldiers meet fierce resistance at the defense line of the Jiaozhi army. When he saw his soldier fall to the ground, his brows furrowed. Turning his head, he called out to a general behind him: "Huang Quan!" ”
"The villain is here!" Huang Quan roared angrily, took a step forward, and saluted with both hands in fists. The battle ahead was stalemate, and the officers and soldiers couldn't open the situation for a while, so it was finally his turn to play.
"Do you know how to speak?"
“…… Yes. Huang Quan was stunned when he heard this, and wondered, "I don't know what the envoy commands?" ”
"Order a dozen more loud ones who can also speak Jiaozhi dialect." Han Gang commanded, "This official will be useful to them." ”
"Ah...... Yes, the villain obeys! Huang Quan immediately ordered his own soldiers to bring the right people up. Most of the people in Guangyuan Prefecture can speak the local dialect of Jiaozhi, and there are many people with loud voices. Han Gang asked for someone who quickly went to the city.
Guangyuan soldiers with different heights, shortness, fat and thinness lined up in front of Han Gang, and Huang Quan gave an order to Han Gang: "The villain has brought everyone up, and please send the envoy." ”
"You interpret and let them shout." Han Gang gave a concise order, and without waiting for Huang Quan to wake up, he turned to the battlefield in the fierce battle and shouted to himself: "Li Changjie! ”
"Li Changjie!" Huang Quan was stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted the name of the enemy commander in Jiaozhi dialect, and followed him, that is, more than a dozen soldiers with loud voices shouted in unison, spreading Han Gang's words to every corner of the battlefield, and even suppressed the sound of fighting on the battlefield: "Li Changjie!" ~~~”
Whether it was the Jiaozhi soldiers or the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, when they heard the roar of the heavens and the earth, their hands slowed down. The main master, who was called by name, also raised his head and looked at the city from afar.
"Three thousand officers and troops have arrived at Kunlun Pass." Han Gang said.
"Three thousand officers and troops have arrived at Kunlun Pass!" It was still Huang Quan's translation, and the soldiers yelled.
The faces of the Jiaozhi soldiers, who were already deeply afraid of the Song army, turned pale, Li Changjie's eyelids jumped, and he shouted coldly: "There are really three thousand, and it should be killed at this time!" ”
Han Gang continued to let people spread: "The 700 soldiers who crossed the mountains and forests and attacked Pennsylvania have all been wiped out!" ”
Li Changjie gritted his teeth: "Nonsense! ”
Dozens of Jiaozhi battle flags were hung upside down on the head of Kunlun Pass at this time, like a slap in the face of Li Changjie, who was still arguing.
"The day before yesterday in Hengzhou, you had another 7,000 troops defeated by our official army, and the main general Li Jue had already been given the head!"
The name of Li Changjie's confidant and favorite general is known to everyone in the Jiaozhi army. And in order to boost morale, Li Changjie did not stop his generals and colonels from revealing to the soldiers the news that Li Jue led the army to attack the rear of the Song army. The hope of victory is all in Li Jue, which Jiaozhi soldier does not say this name three times a day. When the Song army reported the names of the people, it was like a thunderbolt hitting their heavenly spirit cover on a sunny day. At the same time, one by one, the heads were hung from the city, from left to right, and there were hundreds of heads.
Li Changjie's face turned pale, and the soldiers in front of him and behind him looked back at his face.
"You are already at the end of the day, return quickly......" Han Gang paused for a moment, was full of energy, and shouted angrily: "You can avoid death!" ”
"Hurry down and avoid death!"
"Hurry down and avoid death!!"
"Hurry down and avoid a !! death"
The roar echoed in the mountains, the soldiers were stunned, Li Changjie shook on the horseback, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out.
He clung to the saddle, trying not to pass out. Facing the generals who surrounded him in despair, he reluctantly spoke, "Withdraw the army!" ”
Han Gang stopped, and Huang Quan immediately came up and asked, "Yun Envoy, Daddy, did they really win?!" ”
"No, I'm lying." Han Gang replied crisply, making Huang Quan look dumbfounded.
Han Gang did not receive good news, but the battle flags of Jiaozhi were hung upside down at the juncture, and the heads were also hoisted, and it was enough to deceive the unstable Jiaozhi people.
Li Xin and Huang Jinman had already fought with the Jiaozhi Li Jue Division, but the first encounter was only a small victory, and instead of annihilating the enemy army, they retreated to a village.
However, from the mouths of the captives, Li Xin and the three of them had already grasped the general situation of the partial division they led, especially the names of the Jiaozhi generals, and passed them to Han Gang. This, combined with the battle flags and heads captured in several victorious battles before, was enough to further shake the hearts of the enemy.
When the Song army rushed out of Kunlun Pass, the Jiaozhi army had already wavered. When Han Gang made people shout through Li Changjie's plot and punctured the most desperate hope, even Li Changjie himself couldn't suppress the army with a floating military heart.
The morale of one side has risen sharply, and the morale of the other side has plummeted, and the result has been doomed. Han Gang's lie became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel, and the already panicked Jiaozhi soldiers even wiped out the last hope, where is the courage to fight hard?!
Li Changjie had already decided to retreat, and the troops left behind were under the command of his henchmen. The Cochin soldiers who stayed at the forefront even drew their bows and shot arrows, and the movement from the rear also made them have no intention of resisting. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Jun shot again and again. The ropes connecting the horses were cut, and the scattered barricades were immediately pulled to the side of the road. The Song army was unstoppable, and several lines of defense of the Jiaozhi people were broken through by them one by one.
"Huang Quan!" Han Gang called the name of the general.
"The villain is here!" Huang Jinman's son was very sure this time that Han Gang would not let him find a soldier with a loud voice by calling him by name.
"You take a thousand soldiers out of the city, after passing the small stone slope, you will take the lead below, stop when you reach Dayangling, and beware of the counterattack of the thief army!"
Huang Quan clenched his fists heavily: "The villain obeys!" He turned like the wind, went down the city, and led his troops into attack.
Finally won! Han Gang thought that thanks to Li Changjie's greed, he broke 100,000 with 1,500 elite soldiers, this victory can be regarded as brilliant, and it can be regarded as revenge for the blood feud between Qinzhou, Lianzhou and Yongzhou.
However, the real war has just begun, and the Thang Long Province on the banks of the Phu Ra River is the last decisive battle.
The sea of blood is deep, and the people will be repaid tenfold!
