Chapter 997: Mai Tie Staff Goes into Battle
Before the words of the sledgehammer warrior fell, another boulder weighing more than ten catties rolled in the air, as if it had eyes, and smashed it on the head of this sledgehammer warrior, turning him into a puddle of blood and mud at the same time, it also smashed the pontoon bridge that had just been erected into pieces, and broke it off, and more than a dozen corpses were swept by the turbulent Liaohe River and turned over in the river, fluttering, and finally flowed into the distance and disappeared!
At the moment when the bridge was connected just now, Mai Tie Staff punched his chest armor fiercely, and roared angrily: "Good! But before he could put his hand down, the pontoon bridge that had just been connected was smashed and interrupted, and his hand stayed in the air, and the joy on his face suddenly turned into surprise, and then he became angry and unbearable, and stamped his foot hatefully, and scolded: "Straight thief! ”
Wang Shichong's face was gloomy, his premonition was very bad, his intuition told him that today he was only afraid of dying no matter how many people died, it would be difficult to win, there would be no such coincidence in the world, two stones just smashed in the same position, the score was exactly the same, and the same pontoon bridge of the same bridge was broken, this may be the instruction of God in the dark, he shook his head and said: "General Mai, it seems that the weather is unfavorable today, and if you want to attack again, I am afraid that it is against the sky, or collect the troops first, and fight again on a certain day!" ”
Mai Tiezhu's eyes widened, and he said sharply: "General Wang, what did you say?" Do you want me to put an end to the lives of more than 2,000 brothers in vain? Our people are still on the other side, and the backup is about to be picked up, as long as we work harder, we can rush down, how can we give up halfway! ”
Wang Shichong was serious and shook his head: "General Mai." You will not be able to fight out of dismay. Now the whole situation is extremely unfavorable for our army. Look at the wind! He pointed to the big banner with his hand, not only did it no longer flutter to the east, but even faintly raised it to the west, and he saw that the face of the wheat iron rod changed.
Wang Shichong said: "The direction of the wind has changed, and now our army is about to face a headwind, and the enemy's bows and arrows and trebuchets and range will increase. The situation with our army will become extremely unfavorable. Moreover, the enemy army has obviously been prepared for a long time, and has a countermeasure to our army's bridge-building attack, and they have not yet adopted the fire attack that I am most afraid of, but I am afraid that if our army continues to blindly attack, the losses will only be greater. ”
Mai Tiezhu's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "General Wang, is it possible to attack the next day?" ”
Wang Shichong shook his head: "At least slow down, you can think of a way." There are still too few pontoon bridges in our army, only three. Moreover, after going ashore, he only used his shield to defend the front, and he was careless, and did not raise his shield in time, so that he was killed and injured by the opponent's bow and arrow, and the loss was so heavy. But we also know the configuration of Goguryeo's troops, they are completely placing tens of thousands of archers in front, and the next time we move the catapult forward and directly bombard their camp for a hundred steps, we can kill and injure a large number of Goguryeo's archers and break his tactic. ”
Mai Tiezhu shook his head, and his eyes almost erupted with fire: "No, the Supreme has given me the position of a pioneer, and I have to be worthy of the trust of the Supreme, besides, so many loyal and brave soldiers have sacrificed their lives for the country on the other side, how can I let them sacrifice in vain?!" ”
He turned his head, pointed to the second echelon of the three thousand Sui troops who were rushing from the two pontoon bridges to the opposite bank, and said loudly: "And my attack order has been issued, the second wave of soldiers has rushed over, and it is impossible to retreat now, no matter what, I will not give up halfway!" ”
When he said this, he stuffed the handsome staff in his hand into Wang Shichong's arms, turned around and left, Wang Shichong grabbed Mai Tiecane's hand, and was almost taken two steps forward by him, Wang Shichong said urgently: "General Mai, you, what are you doing?" ”
Mai Tiezhu gritted his teeth: "If the impact is not smooth this time, I will personally lead the team to launch the third wave of impact, General Wang, you are a person sent by the Supreme, and you also have the responsibility of supervising the war and supervising the army, so you are here to take charge and command the overall situation, my old Mai is also a soldier of the Great Sui until death, even if it is a bloody battlefield, you must be worthy of the Great Sui!" ”
When he said this, he broke free of Wang Shichong's hand fiercely, and walked forward with his head held high, Wang Shichong's heart was bright, Mai Tiecane was a loyal and brave person, and it was far more intelligent than the rough appearance, since the moment he came to give the order, he understood in his heart that Yang Guang let him be the vanguard, that is, he must either win or die, and he must not be defeated and returned, and now the battle is like this, if he himself does not take the lead in rushing into battle, not only will it be difficult to boost morale, but Yang Guang will never let him go after he returns.
Mai Mengcai, who was holding the Lingqi in his arms, screamed: "Father! He didn't care about taking the Lingqi in his arms anymore, and was about to rush forward, but he was turned around by Mai Tiecane and glared at him fiercely, his eyebrows were raised, and he was angry.
Mai Tiezhu said sharply: "Military Academy Mai Mengcai, what is your duty now?" ”
Mai Mengcai's lips moved: "The last general, the duty of the last general is to pass the military order and defend the general." ”
Mai Tiecane's tone softened a little, but still revealed a sternness: "Now the military situation at the front is urgent, I was going to go to the front line to supervise the battle, but I didn't ask you to go over, so you must stay here and follow General Wang's orders, when my Mai Tiecane is not there, General Wang Shichong is the supreme commander here, you all have to follow his orders, understand no!" ”
More than a dozen military academies, including Mai Tiecane's other two sons, Mai Zhongcai and Mai Jicai, all claimed in unison with mixed feelings.
Mai Tiezhu looked at Wang Shichong, and said earnestly: "Okay, this place will be all handed over to you, if I personally impact and can't win, you can give a golden order, to the Supreme, it can be regarded as an explanation." ”
Wang Shichong's nose was sour, although he had been planning for many years, but deep down, he really didn't want Mai Tiecane, an old friend for many years, to fold in the Liaohe, but he also knew very well that in this matter, he was powerless, he barely squeezed out a smile, and pretended to smile very easily: "Don't be so serious, isn't our army already standing on the other side, Lao Mai, you just need to supervise the battle, send as many troops as possible, after the situation is stable, and then consider the past, the main general will personally take risks It is a taboo for soldiers, Don't force yourself too hard. ”
Mai Tiecane laughed, picked up his own black and heavy iron rod, and ran forward without looking back: "Xingman, if I can come back alive, I will not get drunk with you!" (To be continued......)
