Chapter 1199: Bloody Battle and Cool Nineteen
Street Pavilion Battlefield.
Night fell quietly, and the fierce fighting that had lasted for a whole day was suspended with the truce between the two sides, and under the confrontation between the two armies inside and outside the city, the battlefield was not cleaned up, and blood and gunpowder smoke were everywhere.
At the head of the city, Deng Zhi's expression was tired, but his eyes were still attentive, staring at the Wei army camp outside the city: "The Wei army has only invested less than 50,000 troops today, and it seems that the Wei army will definitely invest the last main force tomorrow!" ”
"Chief of Staff, in the past two days of bloody battles, the casualties of our soldiers are too great!"
The 30th Division was in charge, facing the main force of the Shang Wei army, and the casualties were the greatest, and even the division commander Xu Miao was also in the chaos of the battle, and was stabbed by Zhang Heng, because of excessive blood loss, his face is still a little pale now.
"It seems that tomorrow's battle, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive!"
Chen Ming, the commander of the 29th Division, narrowed his eyes slightly, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "These two days are just the strong attack of the Northern Wolf Guard, I estimate that tomorrow there will be a battle, and the Cao Zhangbu of the Wei Army in the south will also be put into the strong attack on the Street Pavilion!" ”
Once the north and south are encircled, the street pavilion will be lost.
"You can't let them join forces in the north and south, how is the layout on Longshan now?"
Deng Zhi felt a chill in his heart when he thought of this, and his eyes were a little gloomy, he took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.
Longshan is the peak of the southwest of Jieting, Jieting Town is actually a town established by relying on Longshan, this is his last back road, it is really not good, he can only lead his troops to retreat to Longshan.
But once they retreat to Longshan, there will be a big hidden danger.
Headwaters.
At that time, as long as the Wei army cuts off the water sources around Longshan at the foot of the mountain, then they will definitely be defeated, and they will even be able to take them without much effort, of course, there are advantages to retreating, which can give them two or three more days to support.
"Back to the Chief of Staff, the 31st Division has already built defensive fortifications, and the soldiers are also ready, with the preparation of Longshan now, we can support it for three days!"
A staff officer replied, "We can retreat to Longshan at any time!" ”
"In the two days of the big battle, our casualties are too great, tomorrow's battle, it will definitely be in the face of the main force of the Wei army, I don't have the confidence to be able to stop it, we won't fight this battle!"
Deng Zhi thought about it for a long time, and his fair and somewhat elegant face became decisive and firm: "Tonight, we will give up the street pavilion, and the whole army will retreat to Longshan, relying on Longshan to defend, and we will not be able to hold out!" ”
"Let's take a gamble, within three days, reinforcements will arrive!"
Deng Zhi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to add.
If, after three days, reinforcements arrived, they would have been defeated without a fight.
"No!"
When the generals heard this, their hearts sank, and they looked at each other, and finally strengthened their confidence and nodded their heads.
――――――――――――
Three miles away, the Wei army camp was brightly lit.
Ma Chao's face was a little cold, his tiger eyes swept over, his gaze was like a blade, and he fell on the several fierce generals in the big tent: "Jieting is just a small town, not a strong city, I have 100,000 soldiers and horses, all of them are elites, and they fight by surprise, but they have never been able to take less than one-third of our Wu army, why is this?" ”
"General, the Wu army is now at the end of the crossbow, give us another day, and we will conquer the street pavilion!"
Zhang Heng strode out, his hands arched, and Lang Lang said.
"We'll conquer the Street Pavilion!"
The generals hurriedly stood up and seconded the proposal, and asked for their lives one by one.
In today's battle, the Wu army is already crumbling, as long as they work harder tomorrow, the Wu army will definitely not be able to stop their ferocious attack, and they will win this battle.
"One day?"
When Ma Chao heard this, he squinted slightly: "Okay, General Ben will give you another day, before the sun sets tomorrow, if you can't break through the street pavilion, all of them will come to see you!" ”
"Yes!"
The generals trembled, and their expressions became more determined.
"General, I have a plan!"
"Say!"
"Night attack on the Wu army!"
The military advisor suddenly stood up and said to Ma Chao: "In the battle during the day, the Wu army is estimated to have invested their last troops, after the battle, the Wu army is exhausted, but our department still has tens of thousands of new troops, if we can attack it at night, this battle will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort, maybe before sunrise tomorrow, we will be able to break through the city!" ”
"Night raid?"
When Ma Chao heard this, he groaned for a while: "Frustrated military advisor, you are sure!" ”
"General, I am confident that I can break the city in one night!"
"Good!"
Ma Chao nodded and agreed, his burly body stood up suddenly, and said: "In the first battle of the night attack, a certain family personally went into battle, Zhang Heng, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing, the four of you each led 10,000 soldiers and horses, and followed me to attack the street pavilion at night!" ”
"No!"
The four fierce generals bowed to their heads.
"The others stay in the camp, be careful!"
Ma Chao instructed and said: "We attack them at night, and we must also prevent them from going out of the city to attack them at night, understand!" ”
"No!" The other generals nodded.
"Frustrated military division, the officers and men in the battalion are too tired from the day to fight, and they need to recuperate, and now I will hand it over to you!" Ma Chao was still a little uneasy, looked at the frustration, and said.
"General rest assured, I will do my best, and I will never let the thieves have the slightest opportunity!"
Frustrated, he said in a deep voice.
……
sub-hours.
Under the quiet city walls, the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded heavily.
"Be careful!"
"The Wei army is attacking at night!"
The soldiers trained on the city wall just discovered the abnormality very quickly, but as soon as they shouted out, they saw a sudden rain of arrows erupting, overwhelmingly attacking, and one by one the soldiers fell to the ground and died in wailing.
"Kill!"
Under the city, the light of the torches was monstrous, reflecting half of the sky red, Ma Chao took the lead, led the army, and rushed to the bottom of the city wall in one breath.
"The Wei army actually attacked at night?"
At the head of the city, Xu Miao, the commander of the 30th Division, walked out of the small headquarters and looked at the dense Wei army under the city, his face was iron-blue: "They really know how to choose the time!" ”
The Wei army can really pinch the time, the 29th Division has just withdrawn, and it has begun to retreat in the direction of the west, retreating to Longshan, and now there is only the 30th Division on the city wall, and the defense is the emptiest, so they called.
"Commander, what should we do now?"
"Why don't you immediately send an order to the chief of staff and ask him to send the 29th Division back!"
Several regiment commanders looked at the Wei army under the city like a wave of fire, and they all said in a little panic.
"It's too late!"
Xu Miao calmed down and shook his head: "Even if we retreat, we may not be able to resist the strong attack of the Wei army in an emergency, for today's plan, we can only immediately abandon the city wall and prepare to retreat!" ”
"But the Wei army is already close at hand, even if they withdraw their troops, they will be able to catch up, and they may not be able to hold up the main force to Longshan!" A regimental commander said.
"After I lead a regiment to break here, a few of you, each leading your own regiment, immediately withdraw from the city wall, keep up with the pace of the 29th Division, and retreat to Longshan, there is the 31st Division on Longshan to respond, the speed is fast enough, you can retreat!"
Xu Miao said decisively.
"Commander, you are the Zhang of the first division, if you want to break the back, I will also break the back!"
A regimental commander with a strong body and a fierce face, holding a big knife, said in a deep voice.
His name is Zhu Jin, a young man from the Nanban Zhurong tribe, the first strong man of the 30th Division, famous for his martial arts and bravery, so Xu Miao was personally promoted to the head of the main combat regiment of the 30th Division.
"At this time, don't fight, go quickly, evacuate as soon as possible, and keep the strength of the 30th Division!"
Xu Miao shook his head, he couldn't stabilize the soldier's heart to fight to the death if he didn't break it, he had to take the lead.
"Divisional Commander!"
"Divisional Commander!"
Several regiment commanders looked at Xu Miao's figure with tears in their eyes, unwilling to leave.
"Mother-in-law and mother have never been able to work on the battlefield, retreat!" Xu Miao drank.
"No!"
Several regiment commanders could only grit their teeth and lead the main force of the 30th Division to withdraw from the city.
"Sons, block them for me, keep the main seed for our 30th Division, kill!"
Xu Miao directly led a regiment of soldiers to defend the city.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
A regiment of soldiers only supported for less than half an hour, and the fierce Wei army broke through the city, and all the soldiers were killed.
"The city is broken!"
"Into town!"
The street pavilion finally broke the city, Ma Chao was a little happy, but he was also a little puzzled: "How could it be so easy to enter the city?" ”
They had been attacking for less than half an hour.
Moreover, there were very few soldiers of the Wu army defending the city, which made him feel a little uneasy in his heart.
"Did you find the main force of the Wu army?"
"Nope!"
Several generals shook their heads and said, "The street pavilions are empty, and the Wu army broke through at night, but for the time being, they have not found the direction of their breakthrough!" ”
"General, we've caught one alive!"
"Bring it up!"
Several generals brought up Xu Miao, the commander of the 30th Division.
Xu Miao, who was covered in blood, stuck to the last moment of the city wall, watching the soldiers under his command die one by one, he was outnumbered, his heart was like ashes, and he wanted to kill himself at the head of the city, but he was captured by Zhang Heng and Yang Qiu.
"Who are you? Where are the other Wu soldiers? ”
Ma Chao looked at Xu Miao and asked in a cold voice.
"Phew!"
Xu Miao glared angrily and gave him a mouthful of spit.
"General, this person is the commander of the 30th Division of the Ninth Army of the Bashu Army of the Wu Army, Xu Miao!" Zhang Heng took down the military card on Xu Miao's chest, looked at it, and said.
"Divisional commander?"
Ma Chao's eyes lit up: "It's a big fish, say, now the main force of the Wu army has broken through in which direction, you name it, I will spare your life, if you don't say it, I will spend a few hours at most, and I can know!" ”
"Don't you think what I'm going to say!"
Xu Miao said coldly.
"Whew!"
Ma Chao's eyes were cold, the saber on his waist suddenly came out of the sheath, the cold light flashed, and a sword slashed Xu Miao's left arm, and said coldly: "Don't you say it, I have a way!" ”
"Ah!!!h
Xu Miao hugged the broken arm, rolling all over the ground, blood splattered all over the ground.
"General, it seems that he is a hard stubble!" Liang Xing said: "If you don't say this, it's hard for him to say it!" ”
"Give him treatment, I want him to survive, a division commander, but it's a big bargaining chip, and also, you immediately send scouts, within an hour, I must know where the main force of the Wu army is?"
Ma Chaohu's eyes glared coldly, and he said word by word.
"No!"
The generals felt the chill on Ma Chao's body, and couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly took the order.
"General, look, it's not good!"
Suddenly, a trembling voice rang out.
"What's wrong!" Ma Chao felt a chill in his heart.
"It's on fire, it's on fire in our camp!"
The soldiers at the head of the city suddenly turned around and looked at their barracks a few miles away, which had become a fire at this moment, and one by one the generals suddenly shouted: "It must be the Wu army that raided our camp!" ”
"Is this so possible?"
Ma Chao turned around, and his gaze became gloomy.
He led the army to the south to attack, and the soldiers and horses of the Wu army have been in the street pavilion, and the positions on both sides are hedged, how did the Wu army unconsciously bypass their main force and raid their own camp?
He couldn't figure it out.
What he didn't expect was that it was not the Jieting Wu army that raided his camp at all, but a yellow bird from the Xianbei tribe who had been following them!
"General, how are you doing now?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Pass my military order, all soldiers, return to help immediately!"
Ma Chao watched the fire in his camp become more and more ferocious, and said word by word. (To be continued.) )
