Chapter 334: The Decisive Battle (8)
Outside the tent, all the soldiers, regardless of whether they were in charge of fighting or not, had already taken up their arms and gathered around the tent, and several guards were assigning tasks to everyone and explaining the situation.
Seeing Xiao Jinwu walking out of the tent, the soldiers hurriedly stopped their work and saluted Xiao Jinwu, Xiao Jinwu nodded to everyone, and said loudly: "Thank you for not giving up at this time, rise up and resist, this commander will live and die with you, and will never take a step back!" ”
His voice was not too loud, but it was clear to all the soldiers present.
"Dashuai is dedicated to the country, and we are willing to follow Dashuai to the death!"
I don't know who said it, and the soldiers immediately shouted in unison, with a little less majesty in their voices, but a little more determination to die.
As the saying goes, adversity sees the truth, the man in the north is flesh and blood, even if he is in a desperate situation, he still fights to the death, Xiao Jinwu is moved in his heart, and his vision is slightly blurred.
"Okay, good, you are all good sons of my northern country, even if it's just for you, it's worth it for me Xiao Jinwu to send this life here!"
He muttered in a low voice, forcibly suppressing the chaotic emotions in his heart, and became resolute again.
At this time, Yuan Shiyuan also walked out of the tent with his sword in his hand, and stood still behind Xiao Jinwu, although he didn't say anything, but the meaning was the same as that of the soldiers present.
Xiao Jinwu nodded at him, and then glanced into the distance, just a few miles away, he could already see the appearance of the enemy, fortunately, they lost a lot of horses in the previous defensive battle, and the current ones were all infantry, otherwise they would have rushed in front of everyone at this moment.
"Still no news of reinforcements?"
Xiao Jinwu asked Yuan Shiyuan again.
Yuan Shiyuan shook his head bitterly, and said indignantly: "Xu Rui Xiaoer mistook my army, he mentioned in several tips that the reinforcements will come, and the marshal will accompany him to gamble, but I didn't expect that the promised reinforcements have not yet arrived, if my Great Wei is dead, he will be the first sinner!" ”
Xiao Jinwu shook his head: "Don't talk about him like that, Xu Rui is a human being after all, not a god, and when the country is in trouble, it is already commendable that he can stand up, and the battle situation is not developing in the direction he expected, his talent is already very breathtaking."
It's just that on the battlefield, everything is changing rapidly, and who can guarantee that there will be no mistakes? Even if Xu Rui doesn't make mistakes himself, what about others?
As long as the reinforcements arrive three hours late because of a heavy rain, it will cause such terrible consequences, and you are also a person who has been in the army for a long time, you should understand this kind of thing. ”
Yuan Shiyuan nodded: "Xia Guan naturally knows that this matter is inevitable, but it is uncomfortable, it is clear that the marshal has done everything for this strategy, and it is clear that the soldiers have done their best, and they are only one step away from victory, but because the reinforcements have not arrived, they still end up losing all the games." ”
Xiao Jinwu smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was as sorry as Yuan Shiyuan, but he was more calm than Yuan Shiyuan, he had done his best in this battle, not to mention that there were no regrets, but almost everything he could did was done, since the destiny was like this, he would not complain.
The enemy's army was getting closer and closer, and everyone had already heard the "rumbling" footsteps, and their eyes were sharp, and they could even see the hideous look on the enemy's face.
Xiao Jinwu gritted his teeth, raised his long sword and said to Yuan Shiyuan: "I didn't expect that you would be such a literati by Ben Shuai's side when I fought to the death, and you should try to hide behind Ben Shuai when we fought for a while, don't die too early, lest Ben Shuai have to be sad for you before he dies." ”
Yuan Shiyuan was provoked by Xiao Jinwu's joke and laughed, and said loudly: "The marshal doesn't have to look down on the lower officials so much, although the lower officials are literati, they have also practiced martial arts, even if they are not as good as the martial saint disciples like the great shuai, it is not a problem to pull one or two cushions, but the big handsome should be careful, you are now wearing a handsome robe, and you will definitely be the target of the public for a while, maybe the lower officials will be sad for the big handsome." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jinwu immediately laughed, a heroic spirit spontaneously emerged, and said loudly: "Okay, since this is the case, then let's have a hearty battle, and finish the last journey happily, and it is not in vain to be a soldier in this life!" ”
"Xia Guan is willing to follow the handsome Huang Quan to fight again!"
Yuan Shiyuan held his sword and shouted.
"I'm willing to follow the handsome Huangquan to fight again!"
All the soldiers present were moved by the two and chanted in unison.
Xiao Jinwu nodded, looked at the enemy army only a stone's throw away and shouted, "Come on, kill!" ”
Looking down from above, the army of the Southern Dynasties is like a monstrous wave, slamming at the empty Chinese army camp with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and the hundreds of people outside the tent are not even a reef, at most a few fragile shells.
It is conceivable that when the huge waves hit, these fragile shells may be submerged and crushed in an instant.
However, Xiao Jinwu was not afraid and had already put life and death aside.
The enemy is getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye he has rushed into the camp, past the messy barracks, and rushing towards the Chinese army, everything seems to be a foregone conclusion.
"Report!"
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from behind Xiao Jinwu, and everyone turned their heads in a daze, it turned out to be the last herald who had gone to the handsome tent to report before.
Xiao Jinwu thought that he slipped away timidly, but he didn't expect to appear here.
"Report, a large group of people and horses have been found in the northeast of our army, and I don't know where they belong!"
As soon as these words came out, it seemed that the entire battlefield instantly fell silent, and everyone looked at this herald in a daze.
The herald repeated this sentence again, and Xiao Jinwu finally came back to his senses.
"The Northeast, there should be no enemies in the Northeast, is it ......?"
He was shocked in his heart, and before he could say the final conclusion, the guards in front of him suddenly shouted: "Dashuai, the enemy has arrived!" ”
Xiao Jinwu suddenly turned around, only to see that the enemy army had rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army, engulfing himself like a tide.
"Woo woo!!"
The majestic trumpet sounded suddenly, but this time not in the enemy's ranks, but behind the camp.
"It's the clarion call of our army, the horn of attack, reinforcements have arrived!"
Yuan Shiyuan immediately heard the meaning of the horn and was immediately overjoyed.
However, Xiao Jinwu had no time to answer his words, and the temporary defensive line formed by hundreds of soldiers was almost immediately broken down by the enemy, and Xiao Jinwu was already fighting with the enemy, and he could not be distracted at all.
And after Yuan Shiyuan said this, he was immediately overwhelmed by the enemy, and he had to deal with four or five soldiers at the same time, so that he had no possibility of distracting him at all.
"Woooooooooo
The horn grew louder and clearer, and at last a cavalryman emerged from the woods behind him, followed by a second, a third.
But in the blink of an eye, countless cavalry rushed towards it, as if another torrent had collided with the enemy.
"The last general is An Chengren, the forward general of the left guard of Longxiang, who led 10,000 cavalry to aid Marshal Xiao, and General Liu Yi led 150,000 southeast troops to follow, and he will arrive immediately!"
A black-armored general leaped into the ground on horseback, shouting as he charged.
"Reinforcements, really reinforcements, reinforcements have finally arrived!"
Yuan Shiyuan wielded a long sword to force the enemy back, crying with joy, unable to overcome himself.
How strong the cavalry charge is, even if the Silent Annihilation Army is powerful, it is impossible to shake the cavalry with infantry, not to mention that the Silent Annihilation Army first fought with the left guard of the Chinese army for three hours, and then rushed towards the Chinese army with all its strength, and it was already exhausted, and its combat effectiveness dropped very badly.
In just a short moment, the Silent Annihilation Army was caught off guard by the cavalry of the Northern Dynasty, and the enemy near the tent had been forced back by the powerful cavalry, and the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty who were still alive were all killed for the rest of their lives, as if they were in another world.
Seeing that the impending catastrophe had melted in an instant, no one could help but want to cheer loudly.
However, Xiao Jinwu saw all this in his eyes, but he was not happy and worried, he never thought that the so-called reinforcements would be Liu Yi's army stationed in the southeast, no wonder Xu Rui mentioned the reinforcements several times was vague, if Xiao Jinwu had known the inside story, he would not agree to anything.
The reason is very simple, Liu Yi's army is transferred from the southeast to the southwest, and the movement must be huge, and King Wuling has so many eyes and ears, even if he is dull, he will immediately find out.
As long as Liu Yi's army leaves, hundreds of thousands of elites of the Southern Dynasties far away in the Northern Qi can take advantage of the situation and take the capital directly from the east, so that their bitter battles on the Western Front will become meaningless.
"Xu Rui, Xu Rui, what are you thinking? And General Liu, how could he accompany Xu Rui to mess around? ”
Xiao Jinwu looked at the reinforcements in front of him and was anxious.
