Chen Zui's body sank, dodged the bullet in the front, lay on the horse's back, his body suddenly turned to the left, using the horse's head as a cover, and shot his backhand at the coach. There was still some distance between them, and there were soldiers on the left and right of the commander to intercept them, but Chen Zui used a pistol given by Li Chengjing, which had a range and lethality several times greater than the soldier's pistol.

The bullet creeched through the right neck of a soldier, and the aftermath of the bullet swept across the commander's cheek, causing a sharp pain. The coach was shocked, and Chen's second bullet hit again, this time not at him, but at the left foot of the horse under his crotch. The bullet pierced the horse's foot, and the horse fell to the ground, trying to throw the manager out.

The enemy commander was also battle-hardened, and at the moment of the moment, he jumped off his horse, staggered back a few steps, and was embarrassed, but he did not fall. The backhand shot was also aimed at Chen Zui's horse, Chen Zui was lying on the horse's back, and when he heard the horse being shot, he didn't care much, jumped to the left, and rolled away on the ground. A backhand shot hit the enemy commander's eyebrows.

The enemy commander was difficult to resist and fled to the right, and Chen Zui swished several shots, so that he fled from place to place, without any prestige. He was about to hide in the crowd when a bullet suddenly slashed through his left arm, and he shouted and hurriedly reached out to cover it, blood trickling down.

Duan Shaoling got rid of the enemy army, and seeing that Chen Zui's several shots were dodged by the enemy commander, he took advantage of his full strength to dodge, and fired a shot at his left chest, but his skills and reaction were a little faster, and this shot also missed him, only injuring his left arm.

The enemy saw that the commander was wounded, and their morale was discouraged by three points. Chen Zui's morale was great, and under the pain of the enemy commander, he hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat.

The north gate was able not to be breached, and the two of them bravely killed the enemy, injured the enemy commander, and greatly frustrated the enemy's spirit, otherwise the enemy was outnumbered and the situation was worrying. When the two returned to the army, all the soldiers were in awe. The enemy army at the south gate of the chamber had also retreated, and the three armies had gathered in the city, and the deeds of the two of them spread throughout the barracks.

Gaoyang finally held on again, and after rounds of fierce fighting, the whole army was already exhausted, and in the end it was only a slight setback to the enemy, and it was estimated that they would soon have a third and fourth surprise attack. And they are always on the defensive side of the passive, incapable of taking the initiative. The longer it drags on, the easier it is to cut off the city's food and wages, and as soon as the food is cut off, they will really become a battle of trapped beasts.

The three armies discussed for a while, but none of them had a good plan to retreat from the enemy. Chen Zui wanted to repeat the old trick and destroy the enemy's grain and grass, so that they had to withdraw their troops. This proposal was first opposed by Li Chengjing.

Li Chengjing is sure that Yin Jun will not be fooled a second time if he suffers a loss, and the situation is different twice, the last time Yin Jun was in the city, and they took advantage of the terrain to take advantage of it. Now that the Yin army is outside, it is empty on all sides, heavily guarded, and they don't know how to do it when there is a wind and grass, no matter who they send, they will be sent to death in vain.

Chen Zui still wanted to take a risk, but if the generals didn't agree, it was inconvenient to mention it again.

After the meeting ended, Li Chengjing looked at Chen Zui and was preoccupied, obviously not giving up, and said: "It's not that I'm against you, this time it's too dangerous, let's think of other ways." ”

"The Yin army has been frustrated, there will be no more siege within today, let's all go back and adjust it and then find a way."

Duan Shaoling suddenly said: "You guys go back first, there are so many new wounded soldiers in the afternoon, I want to go and see Bao'er." ”

Li Chengjing said: "Shaoling, you have finally learned to take the initiative to care about Bao'er, let's go and see her." ”

When Duan Shaoling arrived at the rescue camp, he was busy inside and out, and Zou Bao'er was assisting in the treatment of the wounded soldiers. Duan Shaoling also helped to carry the wounded together, and it was dusk that all the wounded were properly placed.

Zou Bao'er finally became idle, and was surprised to see Duan Shaoling standing there alone, "Shaoling, why are you here?" ”

"I've been here for a while, and when I see you're busy, I won't bother you. It should be busy today. ”

Zou Bao'er let out a 'hmm' and shook her hand, she had never seen so many wounded people in one day, let alone treated.

"It's okay now, let's go out and talk for a while."

Zou Bao'er was about to go out with him when she suddenly saw his arm, "Are you injured?" ”

Only then did Duan Shaoling see that there were a few cuts on each of his arms, "It's not in the way, it's a minor injury." ”

Zou Bao'er pulled him, "Come here, I'll help you deal with it."

Zou Bao'er finished treating his wounds, and the two walked outside the camp, and Duan Shaoling gave a general account of the afternoon's battle.

Zou Bao'er didn't know anything about the war, only knew that the situation was tense, which meant that more soldiers would be injured or even killed. Subconsciously held Duan Shaoling's hand: "Promise me, you must protect yourself." ”

Duan Shaoling also clenched her hand, "I'll take care of myself, what about you?" Are you really still adapting? ”

"You... Do you care so much about me today? Zou Bao'er's face suddenly overflowed after a tense day.

"You've never experienced this, and of course I'm worried about you."

Zou Bao'er leaned on his shoulder boldly, "You take the initiative to care about me so much, I suddenly feel that there is nothing to be afraid of staying here." ”

Duan Shaoling pondered for a moment, "It's not easy to fight this battle right now. ”

Zou Bao'er didn't ask any more, but said: "With a few of you here, I believe that nothing will be difficult for you, and we will definitely be able to leave here safely." ”

The two talked, and before they knew it, at eight o'clock, Zou Baoer first went back to the rescue camp to inspect the injuries of the wounded.

"I came back so late, and we had a great conversation."

Duan Shaoling just smiled faintly.

Chen Zui said: "You hurry up and rest for a while, we will go out later."

Duan Shaoling said: "You haven't given up yet, do you want to act privately?" ”

Chen Zui explained: "Going out of the city on a starry night is conducive to investigating the military situation, and now we know very little about the enemy, so we are so passive. Don't worry, I won't act in vain against military orders, just the two of us, will I go to death? ”

"You didn't rest just now, go get some sleep first, I'll call you before twelve o'clock."

They are battalion commanders, and today they have made war exploits, and they still have the privilege of going out of the city gate. The soldiers defending the city were about to open the door for them, when the dark shadow on the ground flickered, and another person came.

"I knew you wouldn't give up."

"Cheng Jing, don't get me wrong, we're just going out to find out about the military, we'll be measured."

Li Chengjing said: "If you want to inquire about the military situation, it happens to be together." ”

The three of them first rode out of the city, and when they were about to approach the enemy camp, they dismounted and walked on foot, slowly approaching the enemy camp along the side path. Under the lights, I saw that the enemy camp was connected like a bull's-eye, and there were soldiers patrolling in the middle of each floor, and the water inside and outside the triple encirclement was impassable, and it was difficult to find the location of grain and grass, let alone burn grain and grass.

The three shook their heads and returned disappointed.

Chen Zui said: "You can't burn their grain and grass, and it is impossible to raid, and it is even more disadvantageous to delay the fighters, so you can only pour all your troops to fight against them." ”

Li Chengjing said: "I don't approve of this, the enemy is outnumbered, and there is no chance of winning if you fight hard." Gao Yang really can't hold it, we can temporarily abandon Gao Yang and save our troops. The Yin army occupies Gaoyang, and the next step will be to attack Nanwu, we will gather the forces of Gaoyang and Nanwu, and then fight to the death with the Yin army, the chance of victory is much greater. ”

Duan Shaoling said: "I agree with Cheng Jing's opinion, temporarily avoid the edge, retreat as advance, the more proud the enemy, the easier it is for us to counterattack." ”

The Yin army didn't give them much respite, and only after a day began to attack the city again, for five days in a row, more than ten times. However, under the leadership of Commander Wang, under the stubborn resistance of Chen Zui and others, Gaoyang was never broken. However, everyone knew that their side was now at the end of the crossbow, and if the Yin army continued to attack, it would be able to hold out for three days at most.

Now it can only take Li Chengjing's retreat to Nanwu.

After five days of continuous fighting, the two armies entered a brief period of armistice and recuperation. At twelve o'clock in the morning of the sixth day, the army took advantage of the darkness and went out of the city overnight. Just out of Gaoyang for more than ten miles, suddenly the two-sided Yin army came to cover up. Li Chengjing hurriedly urged Duan Shaoling to lead the men and horses to escort the medical staff and wounded soldiers to leave first, and they stayed behind.

Duan Shaoling put the overall situation first and protected them first.

The Yin army was anxious to attack the city for several days, and found that they were going to flee to Nanwu in the starry night, fearing that the battle situation would be unfavorable to their own side once the two sides met, so they poured out tonight to annihilate them all outside the city, and the two armies clashed again outside the city.

Chen Zui and Li Chengjing were not sure about tonight's battle, the two thought that they could live and die together, and they were in the midst of gunfire, and they were also fearless in their hearts. The officers and men of the three armies also regard death as home, no matter how strong the Yin army is, it is difficult to annihilate them in one fell swoop, and the two sides are in a bitter battle.

There are always many Yin soldiers, and they are elite, and after a long time, Li Chengjing and them are slowly at a disadvantage. Just when they decided to fight to the death, an urgent report came from the Yin army's camp, the camp tent was on fire, the fire was spreading, and the food and salary were probably not guaranteed.

Yin Jun was already in control, but suddenly heard the bad news, and the army's heart was in turmoil. Li Chengjing's side also thought that tonight would be more auspicious and less auspicious, but unexpectedly, the situation underwent a shocking reversal, and her morale was shocked, and she suddenly gained back a little upper hand.

The Yin army could no longer care about annihilating them at this time, if the grain and grass were destroyed, they had to retreat, and hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat and return to the camp.

Chen and Li couldn't guess who would go to Yin Jun's camp to set fire, it would never be Commander Liu of Nanwu, Nanwu's troops were still being held back by Yin Jun at this moment, otherwise he would have come to the aid of Gaoyang. Thinking of this, they were worried that Duan Shaoling would encounter enemy troops, and they had no time to care about the person who set the fire, so they hurriedly chased after them.

Commander Liu received Li Qiyu's order that night, and the whole army was also rushed to Gaoyang overnight to rescue. I never thought that the army would be ambushed by the Yin army as soon as it left the city, so I had to temporarily retreat into the city. However, Yin's army has been stationed outside Nanwu since that night, pinning down Nanwu's army and teaching them not to send troops to help.

Commander Liu led his troops out of the city several times to engage the Yin army, but the main force of the Yin army never confronted Commander Liu head-on, but they could not get rid of it, and Commander Liu was also thinking hard about the best way to break the enemy for many days.
