Chapter 325: Fierce Battle

The surprise attack on this rainy night, Yuzhang's army was very well prepared, although it failed to completely take the upper line in the shortest possible time, which surprised it, but when the Qinglong knight rushed to the front, more than 3,000 foot soldiers were already lined up in front of the road, forming a dense number of formations. The biggest feature of this formation is that it is dense, the sword and shield are the main defense, the long soldiers are the main attack, and the short soldiers are assisted in the fight, which are closely connected to each other, as if they are one, even if they attack from the side, they only need to turn around to resist the enemy.

It can be said to be a kind of offensive and defensive formation, in the conventional battle formation, its defensive ability is second only to the round formation known as the turtle shell, but the lethality is not small, it is a common formation for infantry to deal with cavalry. Obviously, they also calculated the situation that Nanchang rushed to the rescue, so they were not unprepared. Perhaps they had already sent sentinels to watch and light torches soaked in tung oil from afar to deliver the news, so as to know that reinforcements had arrived.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xu did not dare to slack off, and immediately scolded the green dragon knight for dividing into three columns of men and horses, each forming a conical formation. This formation, in general, looks a bit like an isosceles triangle-like awl, and the front end is led by the fierce general to lead the elite to assault and break through the gap. The flanks, on the other hand, are strong and powerful, allowing them to penetrate the small gaps opened by the elite forwards and attack the enemy in a narrow frontal position, cutting through the enemy formation. It can be said that the cone formation is the formation with the strongest ability to break the formation, but its requirements for the generals and soldiers who lead the charge are very high, if the attack power does not meet the requirements, it cannot rush up, and it will soon collapse by being surrounded and strangled by the enemy formation.

The Blue Dragon Knight, as the elite cavalry of Jingnan's special class second only to the generals, will certainly not have this kind of problem. Therefore, Wang Xu formed a conical formation without any hesitation, but due to the limitation of the terrain, it could not be combined to arrange the formation, so it was divided into three parts. Zhou Zhi led a thousand on the right, forming a formation to attack the opponent's left flank. Dian Wei led 1,000 to the left and attacked the enemy's right flank. And Wang Xu himself led the remaining 2,000 people to attack the middle battle.

The darkness of the night, as well as the rain that kept falling, greatly hindered everyone's view. Although there are still some torches on the castle tower that are stained with tung oil, they can still continue to burn. But it was also blown away. The lighting effect is extremely poor. Fortunately, the soldiers train strictly on weekdays, otherwise I am afraid that they will not even be able to form a good formation.

Wang Xu waved his hand to wipe the stagnant water off his face, squinted his eyes and raised the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Charge!" ”

"Kill!" "Kill!" At the same time, the long roar of Zhou Zhi and Dian Wei also spread throughout the army.

Wang Xu took the lead, Xu Shu and Zhao Yu followed closely on both sides, and behind him were the elite guards. With more than two thousand green dragon knights, he pounced out like a fierce tiger. Zhou Zhi and Dian Wei were not slow on both sides, and almost followed closely to launch an attack.

A moment later, three sharp swords were inserted into the enemy array. Wang Xu was angry in his heart, and his shot was even more ruthless, and the fire dragon spear brought a sharp roar. Shuttle among the enemy soldiers and bring up a rain of blood.

Although Xu Shu, who is a step behind on the right, has not been on the battlefield for some days, her demeanor has not diminished as she was back then, her eyebrows are frowned, her pretty face is full of anger, and her former gentleness is completely gone, and she is indescribably cold. Inheriting the Falling Moon Marksmanship of Xuanwei Dao, he drew a blood-colored arc. Glamorous and gorgeous. It's a pity. Beautiful things are often the most dangerous because they need more nutrients!

Fighting. Wang Xu's eyes are always on Zhao Yu on the left side, although this girl has high martial arts, but after all, she has never been on the battlefield, if there is an accident, it will be really regretful. However, Zhao Yu did not disappoint, as she promised at the beginning, fight bravely, the marksmanship "Fengxue Gun" passed from Tong Yuan's predecessors is extremely powerful, whenever the shadow of the gun flashes, one person will fall to the ground, but Wang Xu is relieved. It's just that it's too dark now, and it's not easy to see Zhao Yu's appearance at the moment.

Soon, the battle situation also changed rapidly, how could only three thousand foot soldiers stop four thousand green dragon knights? The three armies marched in unison, slaughtering into the enemy's formation, and there was no one to stop them. A few generals had the courage to come over to block it, but they were recruited by Wang Xu and others, and they were quickly killed.

After a while, the Blue Dragon Knight had already finished a round with great momentum, but the enemy army was camping with his back to the city wall, so it was impossible to rush through. Seeing that he was about to break through, he turned around and went around the ground to kill back.

Seeing this scene, the enemy generals who were supervising the battle at the head of Shangyu City also frowned, and couldn't help but ask the deputy beside him. "Captain Chen, this Wang Xu really lives up to his name, and the combat power of the soldiers under his command is too strong. My Yuzhang 3,000 elite soldiers formed several formations, but they were forced back and forth by them in less than a quarter of an hour, and none of them were together, if you don't think of a way, I'm afraid it won't be long before you will be defeated! ”

When the lieutenant surnamed Chen next to him heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and sighed: "Wang Juncheng, there's no way!" It has been almost four hours since our 7,000 soldiers raided Shangyu, and although the 1,000 defenders were defeated and retreated, they refused to give up on the line of the south city gate, and the number of our troops killed was nearly 2,000 under the condition of absolute superiority. Although there are only more than 300 people left on the other side, looking at the appearance of the decisive death, they will definitely not be able to take it in a short time. Now we can only hope that the 3,000 soldiers outside can block for a while, as long as all the soldiers defending the city are strangled, they can fight and retreat, and use bows and crossbows and fortifications to suppress the opponent, so as to close the city gates. At that time, Shangyu was really won. ”

Hearing this, Wang Juncheng suddenly sighed: "Hey! In this battle, my eldest brother's plan was seen through by the other party, but the other party also miscalculated, and I didn't expect that most of the soldiers and horses were really stationed in our Haiyang County, so that the guide became the key to this battle. If we take Shangyu, cut off Wang Xu's back road and supply lines, and then the eldest brother will send out Chaisang again and defeat the 10,000 people in the north, then this battle will be our Yuzhang victory. If we can't take it down, and we have been exposed, it will be really a big deal, and there are only 3,000 people in Nanchang City now! ”

"yes!" Captain Chen also nodded worriedly, and then couldn't help but glance back at the south city gate, and couldn't help but sigh: "A mere military Sima has such courage and loyalty, facing an army several times his own, falling into a decisive situation, still fighting bravely, refusing to surrender, the Jingnan army is really terrible......"

The worries of the two soon became a reality. If he used 4,000 of the most elite Qinglong knights in Jingnan to fight against the enemy's 3,000 foot soldiers, and Wang Xu couldn't take it, then he should really go away and take refuge in a foreign land.

Four rounds of fierce charges in succession, the enemy formation of 3,000 people was about to collapse, and no one could capture it. It's just that the Blue Dragon Knight who was trapped at the South City Gate was obviously about to be unable to support it, and seeing this, Wang Xu made a decision immediately. Ordered Dian Wei and Zhou Zhi to continue to attack back and forth. And he led his two thousand green dragon knights to rush in the direction of the city gate.

Although the enemy army in this section was the most dense, Wang Xu couldn't take care of it so much, and after reorganizing the formation a little, he yelled and killed it.

Fortunately, the enemy army has been frightened by several rounds of charges, and there are no brave generals who can match Wang Xu's side, feeling the iron cavalry charging forward, although he still stubbornly blocked. But it was obvious that he was very afraid, and he didn't dare to rush forward and rush back. Besides, its formation has been rushed a little messy, so the speed of the breakthrough is not slow.

Wang Xu's mighty armor also lost its luster at this time, and it was stained with blood. The cold face was even more dirty, and the rain, sweat, and blood were mixed together, except for the eyes of God. It's almost impossible to see clearly. But the big red robe flying in the wind and the conspicuous fire dragon spear still made everyone follow him closely, becoming the most powerful symbol. Wherever they passed, the enemy troops avoided one after another, and if they retreated too late, they would definitely be picked up by the fire dragon spear, and there was no luck.

At this time, the wind stops and the rain stops. The sky has also shone brightly. As you get closer to the city gates. Wang Xu could already see the battle situation at the city gate clearly, and took a cursory look. There were only about 200 people, and all of them were injured. The guard Su Fei held a pointed double-edged spear and stood in front of all the soldiers, perhaps because the war horse had unfortunately died, so he was just fighting on foot. The armor on his body was torn, and there were two broken arrows stuck in his right shoulder and left forearm, and he didn't know how serious the injuries on his body were.

But even so, it was still difficult to hide the high-spirited momentum on his body, taking the lead, blocking the passage of the city gate, and fighting bravely. The voice that had been a little hoarse was still encouraging everyone to persevere. It's a pity, perhaps because the injuries on his body are too serious, every time he repels an enemy attack, the pointed double-edged spear in his hand will be unstoppable on the ground, supporting his already overwhelmed body. When the enemy pounced on him again, he gritted his teeth and raised his spear to fight again.

In the face of the persuasion of the lieutenant general and colonel of the enemy formation, he laughed wildly: "Su Fei is deeply favored by General Wang, and he swears not to surrender!" Swear to death...... No ...... Hahaha......"

The roar in that desperate situation, the sound boomed in the sky, and the people were terrified.

Seeing this scene from afar, Wang Xu burst into tears, and an inexplicable sadness went straight to his brain, and his eyes instantly swelled bloodshot. Worried that Su Fei would not be able to stand it, he also roared wildly: "Su Fei, hold it up to Lao Tzu!" ”

It's a pity that Su Fei was already in a daze at this moment, and he couldn't hear the roar from afar, so he just laughed wildly and killed the enemy.

But Xu Shu, Zhao Yu, and those green dragon knights behind him burst into tears in an instant, and they broke out when they were stimulated by this......

The green dragon knights were not driven, but they also spontaneously burst out and roared: "Don't give up on life and death!" "Life and death will not give up!" "For the sake of the dead brother, kill ......"

In an instant, the momentum rose not by a star. Everyone fought bravely, one by one, and the enemy retreated, and the formation began to rapidly disorganize at a speed visible to the naked eye. A moment later, they had rushed outside the South City Gate. Without any hesitation, he followed Wang Xu into the siege and rescued his comrades trapped in the passage of the city gate.

Worried that the enemy formation would be stabilized again, Wang Xu, who rushed in, was in danger, and Dian Wei and Zhou Zhi, who were responding outside, also did their best to fight bravely and rush the enemy formation to pieces. Soon, Wang Xu also completely occupied the south city gate, and after Xu Shu continued to rush into the relatively empty city with a thousand soldiers and horses, he turned around and cooperated with Dian Wei and Zhou Zhi to strangle the soldiers outside.

At this time, the enemy saw that the general trend had gone, and the formation was chaotic, where did the brave Blue Dragon Knight still have the fighting spirit, and the number of casualties increased sharply under the rush of several sides. In less than a quarter of an hour, the whole rout, and Wang Juncheng and Chen Xiaowei, who were watching the battle from the city tower in the distance, saw this, knew that the general trend had gone, and shook their heads with a sigh. Although he was unwilling, he quickly escaped from Dongcheng accompanied by the guards.

Seeing this, Wang Xu ordered Zhou Zhi to lead two thousand Qinglong knights to pursue, while he commanded his soldiers to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded. The healer in Shangyu City was not having a good time, and he spent the night in fear amid the shouts of killing, and before he could relax down, he was quickly taken away by the Blue Dragon Knight. Not to kill them, of course, but to let them rescue the wounded.

In order to save manpower, if the enemy was seriously injured and obviously could not be treated, Wang Xu also ordered to give a pain directly, so as to save more people to rescue his own wounded. It's just that the Qinglong Knight, who was angry in his heart, almost saw that the damage of Zhongcheng DΓΉ was also directly killed with a knife, and only those who were slightly injured were spared, after all, they still didn't dare to disobey Wang Xu's order too much, but the treatment was obviously very bad. In this regard, Wang Xu also opened one eye and closed one eye, pretending not to know.

Although the battle passed, he gradually calmed down, understanding that the battlefield was like this, and there was nothing wrong with the opposing soldiers. But now, after all, hostilities, there are some things, and you have to consider the feelings of your own fighters. Moreover, it is reasonable to save more manpower to save one's own brothers, and one can save one of the seriously injured. Even if they are crippled and can no longer fight, Wang Xu will give them a stable home, so that their descendants can live well and spend the second half of their lives in peace as compensation.
