Chapter 147: Death Battle
A round of sunrise, two tastes.
The dawn in front of Mu Tong's eyes was thriving, and the thick vitality splashed all directions, and the dawn woke up thousands of living beings, and he couldn't help but feel uninspired and inspired. The joy that turned up from his heart made the 36,000 pores on his body slowly open and close, indescribably comfortable. Zheng Tong is the general of the Yan State and the marshal of the expedition to the south, and all the Yan generals who invaded the territory of Nanli are the only ones who look forward.
The morning glow in Ren Yun's eyes was lifeless, red as blood smeared on the sky, it was this blood, I was afraid that it would not take long for it to spread from the sky to his side and feet, although it had not yet started, but he seemed to have heard the screaming and saw the corpse fall to the ground...... Ren Yan is the prince of Nanli and the king of Zhenxi
In the same early morning, Song Yang and his party had just left Dolan City and were galloping towards the northwest snow top; Zheng Zhuan led a coalition of 2,000 cicada yaksha and 3,000 elite southern fire, and with the help of Mr. Bo, he quietly rushed to Hongyao City in the south of Dayan; The king of Zhenxi was in the south of Nanli, within the boundary of Pingzhou, and ushered in the main force of the Yan army.
The last battle of the Nanli people is about time.
The king of Zhenxi withdrew his gaze from the sky, and turned his eyes to look at the enemy formation in front of him, the vertical and horizontal shield array, bow and crossbow array, sword step, spear step, light and heavy cavalry, and the elite jumping of the left short crossbow and the right long knife without armor...... The Yan Legion from three directions, each of them is neatly organized, each of them is equipped with all arms, and each of them is not visible at a glance!
Dao Ge refers to the sky like a forest, the flag covers the sun like a cloud, and the Yan people are majestic and piercing, destroying people's eyes.
Once upon a time, there were also such male soldiers under the command of the king of Zhenxi. Regardless of the quantity, the elite sons and daughters he trained in Xiguan were not much better than the Yan army in front of him. It's a pity that nowadays...... The prince sighed in his heart and looked back at the soldiers behind him.
Although it cannot be compared with the scale of the Yan army, the formation of 60,000 people is really huge for Nanli today, and it is also a huge area that cannot be seen on the battlefield. But the lineup of the Nanli people... No matter how the king of Zhenxi looks at it, it is a mess.
No matter how straight the soldiers stand, no matter how neatly they line up the ranks, there is still one word in the eyes of connoisseurs: chaos.
The mess is because of the mismatch. In an army of 60,000 people, there are only 1,000 crossbowmen, but the cavalry accounts for more than 40% of the whole army...... Don't talk about the king of Zhenxi, even an inconspicuous little general like Hua Yan can't stand it.
The two armies fought fiercely, rushed and fought each other in formation, and the requirements for the matching in the army were extremely strict.
If it was placed in the past, someone pointed to the Nanli army in Pingzhou and said to Huayan: This is the lineup of your family's most famous marshal, the king of Zhenxi. Hua Yan had to laugh out loud, but now, the impossible has really become a reality and is in front of him.
It's not that the king of Zhenxi doesn't know how to arrange troops, and he can't help it. This Nanli army was not drawn and assembled from the large battalions stationed in various places, it was improvised and cobbled.
The main force of 60,000 soldiers came from two places: one was the scattered squads and defeated soldiers in Nanli, and the other was from the young volunteers who showed signs along the retreat.
No matter how simple the truth is, if the defeated soldiers can escape with their lives, they naturally have to run fast, and naturally the cavalry is the majority, not to mention the youth volunteers, the king of Zhenxi can gather clothes and armor for them, and distribute blades is already commendable, and how can he have the ability to allocate troops, let alone have time to train.
An improvised patchwork army of defeated soldiers and volunteers. In contrast, Hua Yan and his small troops, who were stationed at the White Drum Tower before, were not diligent in training, did not have heavy military affairs, and had almost never been tempered by the war, almost all became the core elite.
Therefore, Huayan's team was arranged to the forefront of the military formation.
The strong enemy is gradually approaching, looking at the military might of others, and then thinking about his own lineup, Hua Yan smiled bitterly in his heart, as for fear...... Even he didn't expect it, he didn't feel very scared, at best he was a little nervous.
Come to participate in this 'last battle', even if you don't say it on your lips and try not to think about it in your heart, how can you not have the consciousness of 'sending to death' in the depths of your consciousness? Knowing that he was going to die, of course, it was not because the last 60,000 warriors were fools, the soldiers wanted to repay the country and the righteous and brave to take revenge, but more importantly, there was another reason for serving the country and taking revenge: Yan was brutal.
It can be seen only from the massacre set off when the Yan people fought all the way: if you live for a while today, you will be bullied for a lifetime in this life!
Perhaps it was because he really committed a great sin in a previous life that caused such a great tribulation in this life? Rather than this, it is better to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation...... Now that we have the determination and consciousness to die, everything has become simpler, and the only thing that is missing is the burial.
If you can pull one or two Yan soldiers to jump into the Yellow Spring together, it will be perfect!
When he was thinking wildly, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and the king of Zhenxi led the generals of the army to patrol on horseback, and the old man was expressionless, his eyes were cloudy, and he could not see his emotions at all, and the only difference from the past was that his lips were buzzing when he was patrolling, and he did not know what he was silently muttering.
Hua Yan looked at the prince's mouth, carefully investigated the shape of the mouth, and finally realized after a while, the old man kept nagging three words: melon and child.
After the patrol here is completed, the Yan army over there enters the battle.
With the order of the Chinese army, the army of Yan Kingdom stopped, and the roaring footsteps that were originally filled with heaven and earth and filled with the ear drums of the Nanli people dispersed.
The world that suddenly quieted down was only depressed and suffocated.
Before the official start of the war, the two sides always have to say a few words, especially Dayan and Nanli are both Han countries, and the rules on the surface are also very particular, and they can't fight directly without saying a word like a barbarian fight. However, from the beginning of the war at Zhiqiao Pass to the present, the pre-war cheering has become a fixed pattern.
The Nanli people will scold the Yan people for being greedy and untrustworthy and offending other countries;
General Yan persuaded the enemy soldiers to surrender, saying that after the battle and during the battle, as long as the Nanli soldiers threw the blades in their hands to the ground, they would be regarded as surrendering, and the Yan soldiers avoided the sword by detouring the sword to ensure that they would not be harmed again. This is the usual rhetoric of the Yan people, it seems that it is indeed quite 'humane', if the Nanli soldiers want to surrender before the battle, the commander of the army and the overseer team are not vegetarians, and they will definitely let the heads of the soldiers fall to the ground to set an example. But after the melee began, no generals, no superintendents could control the small soldiers, and when the time came, as long as he left the sword and the Yan people, he would not kill him again, and naturally his life was saved.
But this is just a rhetoric that shakes the hearts of the enemy's army, and Emperor Yan has already clearly ordered it to be passed on to the Southern Expeditionary Army: leave no living mouth in the battle, and no young and strong people in the past......
Nanli Lord Dayanke, according to the rules, because the Nanli people shouted first. King Zhenxi took a few steps forward with his horse. There was no sergeant with a loud voice around the old man, if he fought alone, the king of Zhenxi was not inferior to Song Yang before the 'dead and alive', and he naturally practiced advanced internal skills, and when he spoke, the sound shook the audience, and the horsewhip in his hand pointed to the Yan army in front: "Yan pawn listen, as long as you put down the blade in your hand in the battle, you can live." ”
After shouting, the prince turned his horse's head and came back, and the Nanli soldier behind him was stunned at first, no one expected that this time the prince did not scold the Yan thief, but robbed the other party's rhetoric.
Originally, the 'lines' of one person and one sentence, the king of Zhenxi told Yan Jun's words, so what should Yan people say?
Soon, the Nanli soldier burst out laughing, and his heart was much more tense and soothed.
Yan Coach Mu Tong didn't expect this to happen, his brows furrowed, and he sneered: "Then there's nothing to say, let's fight!" Immediately, the Chinese army ordered the flag to wave, and the horns rose from the Yan army's formation, and the whole army screamed and shouted, and the Yan people began to march and launch an offensive.
The king of Zhenxi turned around, looked at his son again, stared for a moment, and then suddenly laughed: "Hand in hand, go to Huangquan together, stay in the Senluo Treasure Palace, and see the lord of Hades, let's talk in advance, when the time comes... No one is allowed to kneel to him! See what he can do to me! ”
Nondescript pre-battle reprimand, laughing vigorously, the king of Zhenxi waved his hand: "Beat the drum and letter cannon, the children will follow me into the army!" ”
With the order to deliberately requisition gunpowder and artillery in advance, Mo said that Nanli only had 60,000 men, and with their reserves, it was enough for an army of 20 times larger and a million people.
The loud cannon horn was earth-shattering, and the last large-scale Nanli army followed behind the prince, charging chaotically - knowing that he would die, before he died, he only wanted to pull a few Yan soldiers to accompany the burial, and after his death, he was determined to see Yama and not kneel down.
Charge, messy ridiculous, messy might, messy resolute!
The two armies fought each other, fought and fought viciously, but the Yan army did not know, and the people of Nanli could not see it, when this side of the world was filled and filled with many terrible sounds such as roars, screams, weapons exchanges, horns, war drums and cannon orders, and swelled as if it was about to burst, the edge of the southern wilderness, which had been trembling and trembling dozens of miles south of the battlefield, suddenly quieted down.
After a long silence, a monster taller and stronger than the northerners, but with a collapsed forehead and a protruding jaw that looked more like an ape, carefully burrowed out of the forest, from tentative steps to gradual speed, and finally trotted all the way to the Nanli outpost, which had been garrisoned and now deserted.
The ten-man watchtower, which seemed to be no match for a monster as a low wall, climbed it with a few vertical leaps of his hands and feet, and then squinted his eyes and looked hard in the direction where the rumbling sound had occurred.
At the same time, there were more than 100 ape-like monsters out of the jungle, but they did not go up to the sentry tower, but only half-crouched in the clearing, looking up at their fellow people on the sentry tower.
The battlefield and the sentry tower are dozens of miles apart, and the monster can't see what's going on in the distance with all his might, but it doesn't matter, the most important thing to survive in the depths of the dense forest is not a pair of sharp eyes, but a sensitive nose, the monster simply closed its eyes, turned its back to the sky, and sniffed hard again and again.
This smell is a whole day.
The noise of the battlefield in the distance never stopped, but the monsters were used to hearing it and no longer felt terrible, and the vigilance and fear on their faces at the beginning gradually dissipated, and in one day, there were countless people who walked out of the mountains and forests, filling up the open space between the sentry tower and the mountain forest. This is only what can be seen, and I don't know how many are still hidden in the forest, out of sight.
The moon hangs high. In the night, a pair of eyes flashed with a faint light, and all the people did not move, did not make a sound, and quietly watched the people on the sentry tower.
Finally, the monster on the sentry tower moved, and the smell of blood wafted over, turning into the thick greed on the ugly face. Jumping off the tower, it didn't join its fellow clans behind it, but ran in the direction of the battlefield.
On all fours, it does not run fast or slow, it is not a stupid and brainless beast, it has intelligence, it knows that its prey is still far away, and it needs to conserve its strength during the attack. In addition, it is worth mentioning that in the entry and exit of the watchtower, it picked up a hat and helmet that the soldiers dropped when they evacuated, and put it on the top of its head, but unfortunately the head helmet was small, and the helmet fell off after running a few steps, and it had to stop and pick up the helmet several times, and then it finally got impatient, and with a wave of its claws, it easily ripped the hard helmet made of iron sheets.
As soon as they moved, the mountains and forests trembled again, shaking the heavens and the earth unstable!
……
Hua Yan felt that he was going crazy! Killed mad in the vicious battle, and at the same time surprised by his own luck to go crazy, from the fierce battle that began yesterday morning, has been fought for more than a dozen hours now, and now it is the red sun in the sky, and it is noon in the turn of the day.
In the melee, the Yan people did not follow the routine of the night truce, one side did not stop, the other party simply put life and death behind a long time ago, then know how to fight!
In his memory, it should have been yesterday afternoon, Hua Yan only felt that the back of his head sank first, followed by the pain in front of him, he didn't know who hit him in the head, and he didn't know anything as soon as his body was weak. He still thought he was dead, but when he woke up, the sun was dazzling and painful, and the surrounding killing sounds shook the sky, and Hua Yan realized that he was just fainting.
The Yan people and the Nanli people had already fallen tens of thousands of corpses, and there was no enemy to make up for him before, and no companions came to help pinch them, so General Hua Da lay there and slept greatly on the battlefield. This kind of experience, this kind of luck was unimaginable before, so that Hua Yan, who woke up and figured out the course of the matter, his first reaction was: Sleep on the battlefield at dawn, this incident is enough for Lao Tzu to brag for a lifetime.
But then he reacted again, if he wants to brag about it, he has to live... Not necessarily, when I got to Huangquan Road, it was still majestic to talk about it! Hua Yan shook his hands and feet, moved his shoulders and picked up a knife casually, got up, and felt quite comfortable after sleeping......
The scale of the Yan army is far superior to that of Nanli, and a group of soldiers take turns to replace them, and they can withdraw and rest after fighting for two hours at most, a standard wheel warfare style; Nanli people are also changing, but there has been no rule since late last night, and the number of people is not enough, how to replace them? Since then, the military formation has been completely scattered.
But to the surprise of the Yan people, even if the Nanli people have been chaotic and collapsed, they still do not flee and still fight to the death, it is not easy to completely exterminate them, and the battle that can be solved at dawn at most in the regular time has been dragged by the Nanli people until noon, and they are still fighting!
How many of them are left? Twenty thousand? Or twenty-five thousand?
How many more people have we died? Forty thousand? Or fifty thousand?
Mu Tong couldn't sit still, this is not a city attack, let alone an evenly matched fight, but a battle that must be won by a world of advantages and disadvantages, winning is deserved, no merit, and casualties must not be large, the simplest truth, ten people fight three people, win but there are only seven or even six people left, this is a big deal!
Nanli still has 20,000 people, so does Yan Shu need to die another 20,000 to end the battle? Mu Tong gathered his generals, and he needed a new tactic that could quickly break down stubborn enemies while reducing casualties. At this moment, a soldier suddenly hurried over, saying that the scouts who had been swimming behind the enemy army had discovered a large herd of wild beasts in the south.
Mu Tong didn't know why: "What beast?" ”
Before the soldiers could report carefully, a sudden hiss spread from afar...... What kind of cry was that, 10,000 or 100,000 voices that were so sharp as knives converged together, and all of a sudden, the sky was split, the ground was split, and the ear drum went straight to the bottom of the heart, making people tremble, so that Mu Tong's hands couldn't help but tremble.
Fear comes from instinct, just because the roar of the south is full of the ferocity of the southern wilderness and the unknown of nature, so that people have no way not to be afraid and not tremble.
When Ikuban approached the battlefield, he stopped tiptoeing and hiding, and all the monsters roared loudly, sprinting with all their might, and pounced on the flesh and blood delicacies in their eyes!
Everyone couldn't help but stop the fight in their hands and turn their eyes to the south. Immediately... The eyes are torn.
The beast that suddenly broke into the sight and was instantly covered with eyes covered the sky, like a dark cloud, rolling and pressing the top.
What they saw was only a large group of monsters, but what they couldn't see was the scale that seemed to fill the sea, and the soldiers who were fighting didn't know that when the forward of Ikuban rushed in front of them, the torrent they formed was still in the mountains and forests at the end, and had not yet passed through the border outpost.
There is no need to report or describe, just one glance at Mu Tong can understand the horror of Shengfan, and they come so abruptly, and they are as fast as the wind when they sprint, how can they give the Yan people time to calmly withdraw their troops? Mu Tong immediately decided: "Pass the flag order and the Nanli people, the murderous thing is killed, and the two armies should temporarily stop fighting and fight together to resist the monster." ”
The message of the banner swing came out, and it was exchanged for the thunderous laughter of the king of Zhenxi, and the old man didn't use the flag language of Raushzi, and responded directly: "Dream!" ”
Following the prince's loud order, seven words shook the battlefield: "Ignore the life, kill the thief!" ”
The remnants of the defeated army agreed to the promise, and the sword in his hand was bloody, completely ignoring the Shengfan who was rushing more and more, and killed the enemy with all his heart.
Hua Yan in the formation seemed to be really suffering from madness, dancing and giggling, he used to be the commander of the southern frontier outpost, although he had never met, but he also dealt with every day. He had always been very afraid of the monsters in the forest, but now he felt quite proud, as if he had raised these creatures......
