Chapter 311: Unstoppable 2
"Stop the attack, we can't fight it, we have to try to take it. Similarly, we can't delay here for too long, otherwise it will affect the situation in Zhenning County. Zhao Xun frowned and said.
"By the way, you have any prisoners of the servant army here, ask them about the situation here. Tell them that only by completely defeating the Spirits can they save their families, otherwise, their families will always be in the hands of the Arrows. Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
"My subordinates understand! The subordinates are going to ask! Bao Muyang left in response.
"Damn the Badgers! It's despicable! Li Ruolan said angrily. Then he asked worriedly, "Husband...... Commander, can we attack it? ”
Zhao Xun said calmly: "It's just a pass, how can you stop us and others." ”
Xu Zheng, the lieutenant of the fifth capital, said: "The brothers in the first capital are all cavalry, and they can't give full play to their advantages here, so why don't I let the fifth capital attack!" ”
Zhao Xun pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay!" If you attack, even if you can't take this place, you must make the Yan army unstable. However, don't rush and let your subordinates suffer too many casualties! ”
"Obey!" Xu Zheng took the order and left.
"Wei Dong, the guard battalion also sent two sentinels, act with them!"
Pingshi Mountain is actually not a big mountain, but an uneven hill, but there are too many large and small mountains on it, and there are no trees, so it is called a mountain. More than ten miles on the left side of Pingshi Mountain can be bypassed, but there is a small river on the left, the water is turbulent, and the bridge is destroyed, so this place is the fastest passage to the south.
The 5th capital of 3,000 foot soldiers on the slopes and bare hills that were more than three miles wide, fought with the defenders here, in addition to more than 1,000 servants, the Yan army also joined the battlefield. In an instant, the battle from yesterday to today, coupled with the current fighting, almost all the land was stained red with blood.
Although the fifth is a newly established army, one-third of them are veterans of the original first to fourth capitals, and the rest are also soldiers of the Shunzhou Army and the Black Snake Army, so they are naturally not afraid of battle. On the contrary, due to the new policy and a series of training, their morale was very high, and at the sound of an order, they immediately lined up and fiercely pounced on the large and small cols opposite. The opposing army also reacted quickly, the pennant kept waving, and groups of the army and servant army emerged from everywhere and began to intercept the attack of the Shunzhou army, and the two sides were soon entangled.
"Woo Woo ......"
The archers on both sides began to shoot, their arrows arcing in the sky before falling on each other's heads. The soldiers on both sides skillfully raised their shields, but they did not stop advancing. Some of the soldiers were thus shot by arrows and fell to the ground, and the ground was already parched with blood, and was once again stained red and soaked......
After the rain of arrows, the two armies began to crowd together and start a scuffle. The current Shunzhou Army, like the Huolin Army, is full of horizontal sword weapons, in addition to pikemen and sword and shield soldiers. The scimitars of the past have also been reforged, refining the city's more sophisticated and handy armor. The army is still a scimitar, and in addition, the treasury of the Shunzhou Mansion is equipped with armor and shields. Perhaps because of the long battle, after holding half a pillar of incense, the Yan army gradually began to rout, and the soldiers of the fifth capital pursued the victory, but behind the large and small mountain bags, more Yan Yan troops poured up from time to time.
Because the terrain is uneven, with many high and low slopes and rocks, it is not conducive to the collective combat of the army. Except for the initial fighting, which was a collective rush, there were more scattered melees. The two warring sides will fight from the trough to the top of the mountain bag for a while, and then they will kill from the top of the mountain bag to the trough. The fifth capital occupies the superiority of momentum and body, and the Yan army occupies the steep terrain, and the double shot is very happy. Fortunately, the Yan army is better at horse warfare, not good at defending cities, and not good at this kind of guerrilla warfare-like battle, otherwise the Shunzhou army will suffer. However, now it seems that the Yan Army, which had more troops than the Shunzhou Army, did not have any advantage, and the result was a basic draw between the two sides.
Among them, more than 400 people from the guard battalion under the leadership of Wei Dong taught the soldiers of the fifth capital a lesson, what is cooperation, what is an elite soldier, so that the soldiers of the fifth capital admired. Speaking of the number of enemies killed, they may not be the most alone, but the cooperation between each other was perfect at that time, or three people, or five people, and they really handed over their backs to the robe. The knife rises and falls, cleanly, and with the simplest tricks, put the opponent down. These more than 400 people were on the battlefield and served as teachers for the fifth capital......
In the melee, the two sides fought non-stop and fought together. Even the lieutenant Xu Zheng, the lieutenant Li Shengping, Wu Shao, and the nine lieutenants were personally killed. The commander of the Yan Army, the general colonel, was also killed with the Shunzhou Army.
"Who's that general?" On a high ground in the rear, Zhao Xun looked at the servant army general who was riding a black war horse in front of him, wielding a spear, and killing all directions, and asked Bao Muyang beside him.
"If you go back to your lordship, that person is Hu Xiang, the commander of the servant army here, the first person in the Shunzhou government army in the past, and no one in the government army is his opponent.
I saw this Hu Xiang, patting his horse to kill a valley, holding up the spear in his hand, and looking for the junior officers of the Shunzhou Army to start. He rode a black war horse, very majestic, very recognizable on the battlefield. His spear is also very lethal, otherwise he would not have been noticed by Zhao Xun. His eyes are also very vicious, and he can always find the location of the officers of the Shunzhou Army, and several commanders, commanders and team leaders of the Shunzhou Army were killed and wounded under his spear. In the places where he passed, the queue of the Shunzhou army was even chaotic.
"Bastard!"
Since the Shunzhou Army opened up contact with the Huolin Army, Han Meng also returned to Zhao Xun's side with the remaining more than 600 soldiers of the personal guard battalion, and as for the heavy armor battalion, Cao Xiong, the lieutenant of the school, was in charge. After getting Zhao Xun's instructions, Han Meng roared, slapped his horse and killed, intercepting this guy who specializes in killing officers of the Shunzhou Army.
Hu Xiang didn't take this guy holding a pair of big iron halberds in his eyes, but as soon as Han Meng made a move, he knew that he had met an opponent, and the opponent's big iron halberd was very fierce and unstoppable. He hurriedly abandoned the target he was going to slash and concentrated, and concentrated on maneuvering with Han Meng.
Since the defeat of the Black Snake Army, the Daqi Danji Department has been congratulated, and the war horses in the hands of the Shunzhou army are no longer scarce, and some good horses have also appeared in the hands of various generals. As the captain of Zhao Xun's personal guard battalion, Han Meng naturally has a suitable mount, a white horse, it is not a problem to carry Han Meng at all, and now, Han Meng also has the strength of his feet.
Since getting this war horse, Han Meng has not been able to fight a good battle, and he has been training the soldiers of the Shunzhou Army with the guard battalion all day long, and he is depressed. Hu Xiang's sudden appearance, he just couldn't ask for it, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them fought for several rounds. In the fight, Han Meng became more and more courageous, while Hu Xiang became more and more frightened the more he fought. Every time the guns and halberds intersected, Hu Xiang's arm was numb for a while, and the other party's strength was too great.
Han Meng saw the opportunity, his left halberd held the opponent's spear, and his right hand swung it out with all his might, stabbing straight through Hu Xiang's heart. Hu Xiang was not an easy person, and after the spear in his hand was locked by the opponent's big iron halberd, he no longer struggled, but instead pulled out a short spear from the side of the horse, fiercely blocking the big iron halberd that Han Meng attacked. Not only that, but his short gun also smashed into Han Meng's chest, but it didn't hit, so he dragged it down and wanted to smash Han Meng's war horse, fortunately, Han Meng's war horse was also a psychic BMW, and he immediately dodged, and the two sides staggered, and then immediately turned around and fought together again.
Han Meng was both happy and annoyed and excited, this Hu Xiang was indeed his opponent, he woke up and opened and closed his hands with a big iron halberd. With a fierce voice, he hit the other party fiercely. Of course, Hu Xiang refused to show weakness, the long spear and the short spear were exquisitely coordinated, one long and one short, as if they were free, and the two sides fought on a mountain bag. But seeing you coming and going, dozens of rounds passed in the blink of an eye, and as time passed, the powerful Han Meng gradually gained the upper hand.
Zhao Xun and others in the rear were watching the battle from a distance, and when they saw this qiē, everyone was secretly surprised, this Hu Xiang turned out to be another fierce general! In terms of strength alone, this Hu Xiang is not as good as Han Meng, but except for Zhao Xun, there is no one in the Huolin army who is stronger than Han Meng. Although Hu Xiang's kung fu is not as good as Han Meng, but Han Meng wants to take him down in a short time, but it is not easy, the two of them go back and forth, the war horse spins back and forth on the hillside, and sometimes the weapons of the two hit the boulder next to them, gradually rising large and small stones, flying out in all directions. And the sound of the two weapons striking each other also made no one around approach, and the ears of the others who were shocked were tingling.
"This person is good, he should be captured alive! If I use it, I'm a fierce general! Zhao Xun looked at Hu Xiang, who was fighting with Han Meng, and said with emotion.
Without Zhao Xun's orders, Wei Dong, who was on the battlefield, also noticed the general of this servant army, and he led the soldiers of the personal guard battalion to try to cut off the opponent's retreat.
However, the large army of servants who were cowering on the mountain behind reacted quickly, and immediately sent a receiving force to fight with the guard battalion, and at the same time raised the flag of retreat. Hu Xiang shook a shot, got out of the battle circle, and immediately led the troops to turn around and retreat, and retreated after fighting, and retreated to Pingshi Mountain again. In the end, Hu Xiang successfully led the troops to retreat to Shiliang Mountain, and condescendingly suppressed the pursuing troops of the Shunzhou army, and the Shunzhou army had to retreat.
Looking at Pingshi Mountain from the rear, the Yan army and the servant army on it were nervously preparing to prevent a large-scale attack by the Shunzhou army. Even the large crossbow machine can be clearly seen, it seems that the Jing army is still very concerned about the defense of the Shunzhou army, and if the Shunzhou army launches a strong attack, it will inevitably lead to heavy casualties. If the defenders on the mountain are not resolved, the Shunzhou army will suffer even worse casualties if they want to pass through the official road in the middle. In fact, from the height of Pingshi Mountain, there is nothing special, but under the background of a plain on both sides of Pingshi Mountain, this place will seem so dangerous, there is a small stream on it, and there is no need to worry about the problem of water source.
The best way to deal with the enemy in Pingshi Mountain is to make a detour, and then besiege them on the north and south sides, not to mention whether the terrain in the south can be in the north, or besiege on both sides, which is enough to make them worry about their food. The terrain is good, but it is not conducive to logistics transportation. Hiding in the mountains, the most they could do was to last for the rest of the month, and after a month, if no one sent them rations, the defenders here would have to eat grass. In other words, the Shunzhou army only needs to cut off their connection with Shunzhou City, and the enemy army here will gradually wither like a melon with a cut vine, and the Shunzhou army can surrender without a fight.
If you don't have time to think about it, this method is worth trying, passing through the left side, detouring to the south, and trapping these indigo troops. It's a pity that the Shunzhou army doesn't have so much time to spend here. Once too much time is spent here, there will be accidents in the south of the Fire Lin Army and the west of the Tiger Force. In case of any change in the Wei Prefecture Army, that is the real fatal thing. In addition, because of the strength of the Huolin Army, Zhao Xun also hoped to take Shunzhou Mansion and Weizhou Mansion as quickly as possible, resulting in an established fact. These places were all taken back from the hands of the Tatar people by themselves.
When the fifth capital was withdrawn, the faces of several captains and lieutenants were not very good-looking, and only Zhao Xun's face was as usual. The day passed like this, and Zhao Xun greeted everyone for dinner with a calm face.
Today's dinner was quite good, it was brought by the gentry of the nearby towns, it was delicious, the portions were sufficient, and it was much better than the daily barracks meal. It turned out that the squires in these places were eager for the Shunzhou army to defeat the Yan army. Compared with the Yan Army, the Shunzhou Army didn't know how much better it was.
No progress was made during the day's fighting, and no one had much appetite, and the place to eat was sullen. Xu Zheng couldn't help but say, "My lord, otherwise, let's launch a strong attack!" ”
Wei Dong also said: "My lord, as long as we work hard, we should be able to take this place." ”
Zhao Xun didn't make a decision, but just kept beckoning everyone to eat. Seeing this, everyone had to eat silently. Everyone knows that if there is a strong attack, the casualties will be not small, which is why Zhao Xun ordered to retreat before.
"This is just the beginning, don't rush!" After eating, returning to her big tent, Li Ruolan said softly on the side.
Zhao Xun pulled Li Ruolan over, hugged her in his arms, and said with a smile: "What? Worried I can't afford to lose? How could the defenders stop the advance of the great army? ”
"I knew there was nothing you couldn't solve!" Li Ruolan said comfortably, being held in Zhao Xun's arms at the moment was so relieved and stable.
