Although there were unexpected variables, the battlefield of Xiaozhuang still entered the fifth day of numbing and exhausting in a more tragic daily life.

Projectiles were flying, knives and guns were intertwined, and the blood sprayed by the old and new in the trenches was stained with dark mottles, and some places that had been repeatedly fought over were soft and slippery when stepped on.

But Gu Laosi couldn't take care of these anymore, the auxiliary army and stragglers of the tribe under him had already changed the fifth stubble, and the group of people who initially followed him in the trenches to oppose the war were only the last one.

Even if Gu Laosi, who was able to eat and drink enough and was good at fighting, under the fatigue of getting shorter and shorter between rotations, he was still inevitably injured due to short-term sluggishness.

As a veteran, he could only try to twist his body at the moment he was stabbed, so that the enemy's spear could not be too deadly and would not affect the position of the ribs of simple movements......

The other side seemed to have made up his mind to fill it with his human life, and rows of swords, axes, and tools were lined up in front of the battle formation to supervise the battle, and many officers and non-commissioned officers had already been slashed and killed in battle, because they had not reached the designated position, and ran back.

Groups of them were stripped naked, their hands twisted and pressed to the ground, begging or struggling, and their heads were cut off to warn the soldiers who had been repeatedly attacked.

As a result, these desperate enemy soldiers, forced to burst out with terrible momentum and will, after being killed and wounded again and again, finally rushed into the fourth line of defense, and the last line of defense left on the front line was the weapons of the small village at the top of the platform, and the enemy soldiers projected from the occupied trench could even threaten and kill the people inside.

Suddenly, Gu Laosi was like a conditional shot, hurriedly pressed the nearest soldier, quickly pounced, and then stopped behind him with a bang, and the sound was a large piece of dirt, which was hit by scattered bombs like raindrops, and with those enemy soldiers standing on a high place, all kinds of torn flesh and blood were splashed together, and then splashed on their heads.

But it was the cooled artillery team that went into battle again. These gunners were almost condescending, facing the enemy soldiers who served as trenches, and the most heads were close to radiation.

Therefore, although the killing effect is remarkable, but it is inevitable that there will be many casualties, those enemy bows and arrows and throwing weapons, from time to time will break through the protection of the hand, and hit these gunners, but they have been prepared for this for a long time, just drag away the entity and the wounded to continue to make up, but the kung fu in their hands is not stopped.

Gu Laosi slapped off a piece of intestines on his shoulder, poked his head out again, and saw a number of beaten corpses, and the remaining enemies also retreated back into the trenches they occupied, and it seemed that this round of artillery fire had won them a moment of respite.

But at the foot of the hill, the drums of the enemy were heard as if they were urging their lives, and the overseers were once again given a number of targets for execution, who were frightened by the sound of cannons, and crossed the demarcated line of death in spite of the sound of artillery, and wanted to run back to their own formations and depart

Suddenly, a supervising officer who raised one hand and was about to order another execution suddenly burst out of a blood mist next to the heart armor on his chest, and his body shook and fell to the ground. This is clearly a masterpiece of precision hiding in the trench and not yet removing a certain hunter.

You must know that although the Overseer team is very close to the front line, there are at least two hundred steps or so in a straight line from here, at least Gu Laosi has never seen it, there is a bow and crossbow that can shoot people from this distance.

The slain Overseer seemed to have quite an identity, and his casualties suddenly made the angry Overseer suddenly a little in an uproar, and there was a little confusion and consternation, and many people couldn't help but abandon their duties and surrounded him like a starry moon, and couldn't help but think about something.

And at this time, those soldiers who were being held under the sword and axe, suddenly some broke free, pushed away the suppressed knife and axe hands, and ran back desperately.

It was as if they had taken the lead in making a bad start, and the soldiers who were held down struggled to resist, and some even snatched their weapons with their backhands and slashed and slashed the axe hands away, so that there was chaos in the overseers, some people seemed to continue the execution, some wanted to capture the deserters, and some took the opportunity to turn around and try to get out of the possible range of the firearms.

After there was a problem in the supervising team, according to the order, those formations that were driven to the field naturally slowed down or even stopped, and took a little breath, and the offensive in full swing on the front line also produced a big pause.

Han Tai's face suddenly became gloomy, and his personal guards had already rushed forward to suppress some of the chaos.

But the consequences have already been done, and it is not easy to take advantage of Yu Yong to advance to the offensive in front of the last line of defense, but because he failed to get enough reinforcements, he had to leave behind a piece of corpses again and retreat from under the parapet.

A moment later, the members of these overseers also became the targets of execution in a complicated gaze, and it was Hankook's personal guard who took over their duties.

At this time, an officer with a somewhat gray face hurriedly walked to Han Tae's side and reported in a low voice

"The lookoutposts in Jiashan and the frontier reconnaissance have all found traces of large-scale marching and mobilization behind the enemy's formation......"

Reinforcements coming? ，

Looking at the smoke and dust, the horses are full of horses and flags. The lookout post in the small village couldn't help but shout loudly first, and then quickly spread throughout the entire position, and even the position of Gu Laosi could also see the smoke and dust rising behind the hillside

On the entire position, there was a thunderous roar of joy, and the enemy troops who were preparing to continue to attack the fifth formation were also a little shocked and confused.

In one go, he recaptured the third and fourth day defense line, and pursued until the second defense line was mostly filled, and then stopped and retreated, and consolidated on the spot.

The air was still thick with the smell of blood, mixed with the smell of smoke and fire, and I walked on the trench, full of tired figures sitting or lying down, and saw that I tried to stand up and salute, but could not help but be tired and exhausted, and the two trembling soldiers.

The distant enemy formation was only a little back that disappeared far between the hills, and I was not sure enough, so they gave up, and ended the costly attack with a decisive end.

Isn't this really a trap, or a trick to lure the enemy in? I even thought hesitantly.

However, with the report of the scouts who followed the trace, there was no place to hide soldiers or ambushes along the way, and I completely sighed, and finally forced the other party to retreat, even if it was in a short period of time, betting on probability is really uncomfortable.

"Zi gradually, good job......"

I said to Zhao Long beside me, because this "reinforcement" was brought by him on order.

"Fortunately, I have lived up to my mission......"

He saluted me.

In addition to the riders and vanguards in the front, who are still said to be tall and neat, the team behind is a little crooked and miserable, and some people even sit on the ground after stopping, refusing to get up.

And the cavalry was similar, except that the front team was literally riding on horses, and the back were all people pulling horses and dragging branches on the ground. Most of Xu Ran's rapid advance was dragged out like this.

A few days ago, fortunately, there were a lot of gains, and there was a lot of surplus armor and weapons, and I was going to use them for trading and cash, but now it is more than enough to arm all the people who pull people to pull people.

Seven or eight thousand reserve soldiers were increased all of a sudden, but the quality and quality of these soldiers really didn't dare to compliment, after all, they were recruited on the spot, although Zhao Long worked hard to pick out the better ones, but compared to them, they were a cut behind the boss, even those in Runzhou and Jiangning, they were more decent than them.

After all, as a soldier of the feudal town, at least there is a chance to have a full stomach, but these people are generally malnourished, their bodies are thin and thin, and they need a considerable amount of time to recuperate before they can become qualified soldiers, otherwise according to the intensity and requirements of my training syllabus, they will die if they don't get it right.

At present, it is arranged at the head of the city, pretending. This adventure was pulled out, but it reflected Zhao Long's means and courage as a veteran soldier, although it was only more than ten miles away, but the team did not disperse like this.

Fortunately, this tactical deception has finally worked, otherwise I would have been dragged to the end here.

Then it was to abandon the position, which was no longer of much value, leaving only a handful of mobile men full of flags and bluffs, and retreat to Mapu City to rebuild the defense line and redo the plan.

The news of the collapse of the western defense line seems to be ironclad.

The first group of defeated soldiers got only vague things, only conjectures and all kinds of exaggerations in panic.

For example, the Northern Army dispatched 100,000 horses, and the cavalry filled the field like a cover of the sky and the sun, and so on, which was obviously frightened by the untruth.

Otherwise, it is to repeat a few sentences such as "the headquarters is finished" and "everyone has not run out ......".

Your sister, the western part of Haozhou is a continuous mountain and river, not so easy to pass, if you can casually pull over 100,000 horses at once, then this battle of Xuzhou does not need to be fought at all, everyone packed up and went home to sleep.

But as more and more defeated soldiers appeared on the west side of Yongcheng, we finally got a little more detailed information from the mouths of the middle and lower officers who were glazed or lost their souls.

Although there were warnings and notices before, it is obvious that these two centaurs located in the western part of the state still failed to play their due role, to say that their geographical shape is better than my side, although there are not many mountains, but there are the lower reaches of the water and the surrounding swamps, as a natural barrier and buffer, it is quite advantageous for the defenders, with only a small number of troops and sentry posts, you can supervise a large area

The Yunlin Army stationed in the local area is also the background of the front-line troops, one of the more than a dozen border towns along the southeast road, but when fighting Chuzhou, as the first hand in the battle to capture Shanyang, it was badly damaged, so it was the turn of the outer line to rest, which was filled with a large number of new soldiers who had not been replenished for a long time on the spot, with six battalions.

The Jiangchuan Army, on the other hand, is a typical second- and third-rate local army with only four small battalion heads with uneven equipment and soldiers, so it is arranged to be in the area of Qiaoxian County, which is located in the rear of the position.

Such a double-line arrangement, not to mention foolproof, at least it is well organized, quite powerful. It's a pity that the problem lies in this neglect of the enemy.

After receiving the report, as the officers of these two units, they summoned their subordinates to announce it to some serious extent, but the officers who were a little slack, but it was not so easy to take matters seriously, and after receiving the order, they just routinely instructed their subordinates to strengthen their precautions, but they did not explain the specific content, nor did they really inspect the defense, or guide them to consolidate the front in this way.

Instead, most of them managed to gather at the station in True Source City, to be in the company of the looted goods, and were busy instructing their relatives to do business (I naturally have a share of the credit here).

As a result, nearly 3,000 men and horses of the first two battalions and two regiments of the Yunlin Army stationed on the front line of Luyi County were scattered by the enemy attacking from Chenzhou almost immediately.

In the words of these routs, those large groups of men and horses suddenly appeared on the east bank of the lower reaches of Caishui, and even the people patrolling the periphery issued a warning whistle, and the defensive ground built along the river was lightly breached and the sheep were released.

Then these fierce northern soldiers, with these routs in their tails, rushed to the gate of the Yunlin Army stationed in Zhenyuan City, and the local garrison, even a small half scattered in the place, in the name of sentry food, scraped, but when they blocked the city gate with their own soldiers, trying to collect and suppress the defenders of the deserters, after being slashed and killed on the spot, the rest of the people lost their fighting spirit in a chain reaction.

All kinds of charging and chasing are the only impressions of the process of these routs fleeing non-stop.

The other Jiangchuan Army, which was in the southwest of the second line of defense, was said to be in better condition, but it was also surrounded by enemy regiments in Qiao County, and it was trapped in the lonely city waiting for foreign aid. Therefore, although the enemy army still has some distance, except for a large whirlpool river on the edge of the city of Maozhou, there is no obstacle in the terrain of a horse and a flat river.

When these people fled, they didn't even have time to destroy the bridge on the whirlpool. The two regiments I placed in Yongcheng were always in the vicinity of several hundred men, and some even began to rob the place, and were killed on the spot.

The teaching team led by Han Liangchen had already rushed to the direction of the state city, mainly to see if the state city was still there, and by the way, to see if it could destroy the bridge to cross the river on the whirlpool water, so as to buy some time.

The pacesetter regiment then set off in one step, but it carried more carts and supplies, mainly used to contain those scattered routs on the spot, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, these defeated soldiers can be used to some extent in my hands.
