Chapter 9: The Bitter Battle
The mentality of the two parties is different, the dog chases the rabbit, the rabbit runs for his life, and the dog runs for the prey, with a little less urgency. In the same way, Wei Yinbao and Wang Zhenhu's army is also like this, although Wang Zhenhu's team is interspersed with straight lines, it is still one step slower than Wei Yinbao, not to mention that Wei Yinbao is half an hour ahead.
Lin Yinhan stood on the front line and sighed secretly, he only needed two more thousand soldiers and horses, and another two thousand to flank the Wei legion just now, and even completely cut off their ranks. But it's not a loss to think about it, after all, if there are more than 2,000 people on his side, Wang Zhenhu will not be able to make an offensive, and he will rush away from the enemy with a cone-shaped team and chase the enemy.
Just thinking about it, he suddenly saw the dust and smoke billowing in front of him, and after a while, the scout came to report: "General, Wei Yinbao has come back from killing and is rushing towards us, and the king is chasing after us." In addition, a group of reinforcements is arriving depending on the situation, but it may be later than the enemy. The enemy is still twenty miles away from us, general, please prepare early. ”
"Well, Zhilu Dao, you go down." Lin Yinhan frowned and said, as he said that he rode on a tall horse and shuttled around the position: "Enter the trenches, erect wooden thorns, and prepare the fire hammers and archers." Ready, ready, enemy forces are coming. ”
The warriors were all heroes who crawled out of the mountain of corpses in the sea of blood, and they didn't panic at all when they heard the enemy's attack, but they were excited to prepare for the battle, and the flank attack just now did not make them happy. About an hour later, the army arrived, and the fleeing Merriam-Webster legions, who had been killed all the way, looked a little tired, but they were all undiminished, screaming not like deserters but like bloodthirsty beasts.
Bai Yu hid elsewhere and watched all this with a sneer. He said to himself: "No wonder they all say that wolf soldiers are invincible in the world, it turns out that they are all brainless goods, and they are not afraid of death when they fight stupidly." It's no wonder if it's not amazing. ”
Lin Yinhan commanded the army, he was not completely sure that he would be able to hold out until the arrival of reinforcements, if it was the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, as long as they carried a few waves of attacks, the other party would stop collecting troops. However, the fighting methods of the Gutian Righteous Army and the wolf soldiers are different, they all rush up in a swarm, and let them rush as much as they want. Basically, there is no such thing as repulsion, unless ordered from above, if not ordered, it will be beaten to death. As a general of Guangxi. The only role is not to supervise the battle but to call the soldiers back, just like Wei Yinbao's men just now to attack the defense of the wolf soldiers, if he hadn't shouted to stop, it is estimated that the casualties would be even more serious now.
Lin Yinhan shouted: "Steady! Steady! Two hundred steps. One hundred and fifty steps. One hundred steps, ninety steps, eighty steps! Shoot the arrows! Fifty steps! Firecracker. Thirty steps, then the arrow! Free fire, spearman, spear! The spearman raised his long spear and held it with all the strength of his body, but it did not move, forming a hedgehog-like face and stabbing at the enemy.
Instead of slowing down, the soldiers of Wei Yinbao's side rushed forward with their shields. The spear pierced the crude wooden shield and plunged into the soldier's body. The soldiers in the back did not stop, and continued to charge forward until the spears broke or pierced the corpses. Lin Yinhan shouted: "Stand back, step back!" The axe hand stepped forward to block it! ”
A platoon of soldiers with long knives and rattan armor and rattan shields rushed forward and engaged the enemy, while the crossbowmen, musketeers and spearmen calmly retreated. Bai Yu couldn't help nodding when he saw all this: "It seems that there are still people in Gutian who can train soldiers, this Lin Yinhan is a great general, much stronger than Wang Zhenhu and Wei Yinbao, well, he is a material that can be made." ”
"General, let's go first!"
"Go first!" Hundreds of rattan armor soldiers shouted, and I don't know what happened, one person burned violently, and then one after another soldiers began to burn. It turned out that the rattan armor they were wearing had been soaked with oil, so that they could resist the penetration of the blades, and at this time, the open flames burned violently, and one or two hundreds of people were dyed into a ball of moving fireballs, and they crashed into the enemy with a scream. At the feet of the enemy, the combined action of fire oil and gunpowder ignited a raging fire, blocking Wei Yinbao's army at once, and the vanguard was also ignited, burning along with these rattan armor soldiers.
Wei Yinbao clenched his fists and roared, "Keep attacking, keep going!" In fact, he was reluctant to send his soldiers to death, not because he had a good heart, but even if he escaped this time, he would lose his vitality and lose his vitality, and he was afraid that he would fall from the three-legged momentum to the bottom. What's even more terrifying is Wei Chaofeng beside him, although he is his uncle's own family, but he has always been unwilling to tend to be under himself, if it weren't for his own power, he had turned his face with Wang Zhenhu before, I was afraid that he would have established himself as the king long ago. Now, if he can't break out of the city and is besieged, I am afraid that he will tie himself up and sacrifice himself to the enemy army to ask for merit and reward.
Let's not talk about the rebellion, Wang Zhenhu's pursuers are coming, and the wolf soldiers are also beginning to move forward, I am afraid that this time they will destroy themselves here, and they must rush a bloody road.
Wei Yinbao's soldiers did not disappoint him, even though there was a raging fire in front of them, they did not take a detour like they had just faced the Miao Jiang people, but obeyed the military orders and threw themselves into the sea of fire one after another. Slowly, slowly, the fire was crushed by the corpses! Lin Yinhan had already done the fortifications again at this time, and released the arrows again, and after the rain of arrows, Wei Yinbao was killed and wounded again, and even he himself was shot in the arm by the arrows fired from his back.
But this time there was no oil and no rattan armor soldiers, so the army surrounded Lin Yinhan, and Lin Yinhan fell into a bitter battle. There are still more than 20,000 dead and wounded in the Wei's army, and Lin Yinhan only has more than 1,000 people left at this time, all of whom are hot-blooded men who bravely kill the enemy and are bloodthirsty, and there is no question of the strength of the army at all.
The soldiers around Lin Yinhan kept falling, and it seemed that the reinforcements would have to take two more pillars of incense to arrive, but I was afraid that I would not be able to hold out at that time. Once the formation is released, it is not impossible to escape from the encirclement, but in this way, the Websterdam army will burrow into the dense forest, and it will be too late to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
In fact, there are only 10,000 people besieging Lin Yinhan now, and the rest are fortified in the back to block the reinforcements and the pursuing troops.
When Lin Yinhan hacked the sixth person to death, the knife edge had already rolled, and a sergeant on the opposite side pierced him with a spear, Lin Yinhan wanted to dodge but it was too late, and when he flashed sideways, a big hole was still cut out of his waist. Swinging the knife to cut off the wooden pole of the spear, but the knife on the right side was cut off according to his head, Lin Yinhan could only use his left arm to clamp the spear, and waved the knife with his right hand to block, and with a click, the knife was broken.
Lin Yinhan's right arm spurted out a large amount of blood, and the armor on his body also broke in response, the wound was not deep, but the flesh was turned outward, and the blood stained the clothes in the armor red, and the half-pulled armor drooped down, very embarrassed. Lin Yinhan looked around, there were less than two hundred brothers, and they were all injured, and some of them had broken arms, but they were still holding on.
"Brothers, it's worth it to be able to fight side by side with everyone in this life, they are all men!" Lin Yinhan shouted.
The soldiers also responded frantically: "May I live and die with the general!" ”
Those who are great generals must have superior force, and the soldiers they lead are all rough people. Rough people advocate violence and strength, so if you want to be an outstanding general, your own skills must not be bad. Even the great thinker Changsheng General Wang Shouren has a good skill of wearing Yang in a hundred steps with one hand, and if you tell the soldiers anything, I am afraid that they will not be convinced. The Ming Dynasty is like this, not to mention the relatively barbaric Gutian Rebels. Lin Yinhan is like this, the military martial arts are superb, a set of fighting methods that sweep thousands of armies with wide opening and closing, and infinite arms are infinitely strong to block and kill people and kill Buddhas.
But after all, Lin Yinhan is not a god, soon his physical strength reached the limit, and the wounds on his body were also increasing, the armor had long been scattered and disappeared, and a spear pierced the ribs behind him, and Lin Yinhan fell to the ground with a snort. Blood blurred his eyes, Lin Yinhan struggled to raise his eyes to see that there were only a few soldiers who were still fighting the trapped beasts, and sighed: My life is over.
The wind was fierce, and one man was like a god, his body was glowing with golden light, and he did not hold a killing blade in his hands, but everywhere he went, the enemy army flew upside down or was shattered on the spot. Who is that man? Lin Yinhan laboriously wiped away the blood that stuck to his eyes with his hands, and was surprised to find that it was Bai Yu who came to save him!
How did Bai Yu come back to save himself? Before Lin Yinhan could think about it, Bai Yu had already swept away the surrounding soldiers, no matter how brave the men in Guangxi were, they were fighting against people, and Bai Yu was obviously not like a person. So, everyone was a little timid, and in an instant, Bai Yu jumped to Lin Yinhan's side, picked up Lin Yinhan and said, "Go." ”
Lin Yinhan grabbed the white feather shirt and said, "Save my brother." ”
"I'll make it, you really think I'm a god, it's good to be able to save you." Having said that, Bai Yu still saved a dying soldier, and he rose into the air one by one, stepping on people's heads and running. The soldier's skull burst on the spot when he was stepped on, and some of his legs were sunk into the dirt, but the middle bone was not damaged.
Bai Yu took Lin Yinhan and a wounded man to a secluded place, at this time the reinforcements had broken through the defense line, but it was too late, Wei Yinbao Wei Chaofeng fled into the desert and fled into the dense forest, even if the army of more than 10,000 people rushed into it, it would immediately disappear without a trace.
Wang Zhenhu beat his chest, Lin Yinhan died, Wei Yinbao and Wei Chaofeng didn't catch any of them, this time the loss is big, although the loss is not small. Wang Zhenhu looked at the battlefield full of dead bodies, imagined the hardships and cruelty of the battle, and hurriedly ordered that Lin Yinhan's dead body must be found and buried thickly.
Just as he was giving the order, a soldier suddenly came to report: "King Qiyu, General Lin is back!" ”
Wang Zhenhu was overjoyed, hurriedly greeted him, took two steps but suddenly stopped, why did Lin Yinhan come from outside, could it be that he ran away? Fleeing from battle is a felony of military law, the law is not merciful, and as a general, he should abide by it, what should he do when the time comes? Cutting off the hair to appease Jun Xing, or to make an example of the hundred, the soldiers are all rough people, they do not suffer from widowhood but unevenness, it is not okay to be unfair, that will cause dissatisfaction and riot, this is not to push the soldiers under his command to the enemy. Hey, no matter, I'll talk about it after seeing Lin Yinhan first. (To be continued......)
