Chapter 518: The Last Battle
Tieta and Lin Biao are very tired, three days have passed since the last cavalry battle, since receiving the news, it must be before Ye Shaolong arrives with the army, and the pace of the Hebei coalition army must be dragged to death, and the cavalry battalion of Tieta has fallen into infinite exhaustion.
After the cavalry of the 20,000 coalition troops was almost completely wiped out, the four marshals no longer dared to divide their troops at will to pursue and kill the Yejiabao cavalry. Instead, stay vigilant and move slowly.
This made the cavalry of Yejiabao miserable, and when they didn't receive news from Ye Shaolong, they could still look for an opportunity to attack very leisurely.
But as soon as Ye Shaolong's news came, they had to take the risk of attacking. After all, Ye Shaolong's meaning was very clear, and he was not allowed to allow the coalition army in front of him to advance towards Tianjin City.
In the past three days, the Yejiabao cavalry has experienced countless sneak attacks, from the original 9,000 soldiers and horses, but nearly 4,000 were sacrificed in just three days.
Now there are only about 5,000 soldiers and horses left, and one by one they are almost to the limit, and if they continue to fight like this, the entire cavalry battalion will be completely consumed here.
The tower slammed into the trunk of a tree with a fist, shards of bark flew and blood flowed from the tower's fist. He didn't seem to feel the slightest pain, and his face was full of anxiety and sadness.
"Damn, if the big marshal doesn't come again, we'll all be finished." The tower sat limply under the trunk of the tree.
Lin Biao glanced at him, wiped his saber in his hand, and said casually: "The scout horse sent out is almost back, just wait, it's useless to rush." ”
The tower was still very angry, and the cavalry battalion was brought out by him, and I don't know how much effort he put into it. Don't look at his usual big grin, he is always to death when he trains.
But this is why he cares about the soldiers of every cavalry battalion, so he is so strict. An extra drop of sweat in training often leads to a drop of less blood on the battlefield.
Practice has also proved that the tower is right, and now the cavalry battalion has become the elite of the Yejiabao army, and it is the most outstanding unit.
At this moment, it was already afternoon, and the three-day period with Ye Shaolong had arrived, but Ye Shaolong's army had not appeared for a long time, which made Tie Ta very worried.
The cavalry battalion was almost paralyzed, and now facing the enemy's 200,000 troops, there were more dead and wounded in each sneak attack. Tie Ta had an impulse in his heart, he hated having to take Ye Shaolong's orders, and directly took the cavalry battalion away.
Three fast horses galloped in the distance, and the rumbling hooves of the horses attracted everyone's attention, and the tower finally showed a glimmer of hope on his face after seeing the appearance of the comer.
The person who came was the spies who were sent out to find out if Ye Shaolong's army had arrived, and the three horsemen quickly stopped in front of the iron tower. Three tired cavalrymen knelt down in front of the tower, and the captain of them said, "General, the army of the commander is already ten miles away, and he wants you to hold on for a little longer." ”
"Fuck it, the army is finally here." The tower was suddenly shaken, and the whole person finally recovered his spirits.
Lin Biao, who was indifferent just now, also had a smile on his face at this moment, and he was relieved.
These three short days are simply like a year, and the earlier desire to take revenge has been wiped out by the big and small battles of these two days, and now he just wants to take a good rest, and the rest is no longer important.
The tower finally waited for the good news, and happily let the three spies go down to rest first, he came to Lin Biao's face, and said with a smile: "How is it?" Do you have the strength to fight again? ”
Lin Biao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he was silent for a moment and said, "Shouldn't we wait quietly for the arrival of the handsome now?" Besides, the enemy is now stuck in place and no longer dares to move, and you still want your men to die in vain? ”
Tie Ta suddenly sank his face, and said fiercely: "It is precisely because I can't let my subordinates die in vain, so this time I must do the second big, and then hide in the army of the commander to rest." ”
Hearing what Tie Ta said, Lin Biao suddenly realized that in the final analysis, Tie Ta had resentment in his heart and wanted to sprinkle his anger on the enemy.
But think about it, the 10,000 cavalry of the iron tower lost nearly half of them after this battle, so it's no wonder he was distressed. But the whole army was already exhausted and in urgent need of rest, and even those war horses were exhausted.
What is the difference between fighting a big battle with the enemy army in such a state and seeking your own death? After Lin Biao figured it out, he still flatly refused: "No, don't let your subordinates sacrifice more people for a sulk." If you want to take revenge, you have a chance in the future, at least until the soldiers are back to their best. ”
"!"
Tie Ta immediately turned his face and said viciously: "Don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know, the previous commander will let us fight, and one of them is to let you take revenge and get rid of the resentment in your heart." At that time, I didn't have to say anything, but I didn't immediately agree to come out with you. It's good now, you're angry, but it's my turn to chirp. ”
These words came out of his mouth, and the tower began to regret it after saying it, but he didn't want to hold it in his heart like this, he really couldn't hold it back.
Now the cavalry battalion has lost more than half of it, and it is enough to kill 5,000 subordinates, which makes the tower unhappy.
Lin Biao's face suddenly turned blue, indeed, from the very beginning, he had the intention of revenge. At this moment, he was pierced by the iron tower, and his face suddenly became a little unbearable.
But thinking of the cavalry battalion of the iron tower and the terrible price paid for it, Lin Biao couldn't respond to anything. After some struggle, Lin Biao finally nodded and agreed to the tower's request for one last battle.
Only then did the tower turn his anger into joy, and laughed: "This is a good brother, how can I help you, but you don't help me." ”
Lin Biao's face was full of wry smiles, if he had known that this would be the end result, he would not have been so impulsive in anything. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine to take in the world, whether it is to repay the tower this time, or whether he is really guilty, he can't refuse the request of the tower and the cavalry battalion.
He owes this favor, and he has to pay it back for everything, otherwise he will be uneasy in the future!
Immediately after talking about Lin Biao, Tieta began to ask his men if they wanted to avenge their dead brothers.
As expected by the tower, they all readily agreed, and the tower was very happy, laughing and telling everyone to take a break, and an hour later began to fight with all their might.
The officers and men of the 5,000 cavalry battalion responded with a bang, and no one would retreat, even if they rushed up this time, it was very likely that they would never come back, and none of the Yejiabao cavalry said a word.
Lin Biao was very emotional on the side, this is why the cavalry battalion is the best army of the Yejiabao Army. They can avenge their dead comrades at the cost of sacrificing themselves, is there anything else they fear in such a military army?
