Chapter Seventy-Six: The Rear Army
Under the twinkling stars, the battlefield of death is illuminated by light.
The ground was littered with broken flags, corpses of servants, discarded knives and spears, and arrows sunk into the dirt. The blood flowed along the ground, and quickly solidified under the cold wind, but the cold wind blew the smell of blood even stronger.
The battle is getting fiercer.
Soldiers fight for survival, but they must forget about death.
Those who fear the death are very likely to die faster on the bloody battlefield.
It's a funny and ridiculous contradiction.
"It seems that it can't be stopped. In the south of the battlefield, Luo Tingyu shrugged helplessly and said to Wu Feng.
Defeat and annihilation are not a concept.
Wu Feng and Su Can cooperated sincerely, and indeed thwarted Gu Taineng's several breakthroughs, and inflicted a lot of damage on Gu Taineng's troops.
However, the rear army led by Gu Taineng has been watching the battle in the rear in the early stage of the operation, and has never been put into the battlefield, and has more energy, and most of them are veterans of a hundred battles with strong combat effectiveness.
So after a tug-of-war, now they will have to watch Gu Taineng lead his troops out of the encirclement and join Long Aotian's forces.
"The enemy's casualties are several times greater than ours. Such results are enough. Wu Feng comforted.
From the beginning, he had no hope of annihilating the Shenxiao Army in a single battle.
Su Can, who was on the other side, had already ordered to give up the interception. In the bloody battle of the Sanhe Army led by Su Can and Li Xun before, the physical consumption of the soldiers was already extremely great, and now it is indeed unstoppable.
Gu Taineng led the army north, preparing to meet the breakthrough of Long Aotian.
"But ......" Wu Feng showed a somewhat ruffian smile: "We can still do one vote in the end." ”
When Gu Tai can break out of the encirclement, the troops will inevitably be elongated, and the troops at the end of the palace will become a weak link.
And if Gu Taineng wants to take over Long Aotian, he must also be ready to sacrifice the troops behind the palace.
However, whether it can be successfully swallowed depends on the ability of Wu Feng and others.
Luo Tingyu also laughed: "Have a good time, of course it's excellent." ”
Wu Feng stood on a small mound, quietly looking down at Gu Taineng's department like a long snake rushing out of the encirclement and winding north.
"Everyone, with the determination to die, break off the queen for General Gu!" Lin Han raised his voice.
Lin Han led four hundred people as the palace army of Gu Taineng's department.
He is more than fifty years old, a veteran of the Shenxiao Army, and one of several generals who have followed Gu Taineng for many years, and has extremely rich combat experience.
At the same time, Lin Han has a wide range of contacts and has a very good popularity. From Qianzhong in the west, Jiaozhou and the South China Sea in the south, and Jiangdong in the east, Lin Han can be said to have made friends everywhere in the south.
In the army, Lin Han was also very loved by the soldiers.
Every time he followed Gu Taineng to fight, Lin Han took on the task of the queen of the palace.
Gu Taineng is already a rear army, and as the rear team of Gu Taineng's department, it should be the easiest, only need to enter the battlefield at the last moment, and killing people is like cleaning the battlefield.
However, since the battle was defeated, then the troops of the queen of the palace would have to bear the greatest danger.
Of course, Lin Han was also mentally prepared for this.
He looked at the soldiers beside him.
They are all veterans over the age of thirty and have fought under Shenxiao for many years.
They are fathers, husbands, and sons, and almost everyone has a small home in the South.
But they must now do it without turning back. On the battlefield, everyone is just a tool for killing, and if they don't kill with their own hands, they are killed.
The so-called "killing one is enough, killing two earns one".
"Boys. Lin Han said slowly: "Don't think much about what is behind you. Everyone knows that Shenxiao will never treat the family members of the donors badly. ”
These words are plain, but they contain the deepest sorrow.
There are fathers and sons on the battlefield, there are brothers, but husbands and wives are rarely seen.
It's not because women can't go to war, but because when men die in battle, there are women who can struggle to support a broken home. If the women also die in battle, the orphans left behind will be left unsupported.
There was silence in the array, and no one answered.
But everyone's countenance became unusually resolute.
Difficult perseverance, but always bursting with the most powerful strength.
Veterans tend to be serious and unsmiling. They don't want to laugh on the battlefield, because when they laugh, it may prove that they have completely lost their fighting spirit, and they feel that being slaughtered by the enemy is only a relief.
Whether it was Lin Han or the soldiers under his command, everyone was ready to die.
Maybe half a day ago, they were still the so-called "veteran oil", thinking about grabbing a ticket after this battle, and playing a few flower girls to vent their pent-up lust for many days.
However, as long as the mission is clear, each of them will lock their selfish desires to the deepest part of their hearts, and even their families and loved ones will forget for a while, bury their fears, and turn into invincible warriors who regard death as their home.
Since they were appointed queens, it was the duty of soldiers to obey.
But in the same way, they have to pay a lot of money for the Divine Temple Army.
Because they are veterans personally brought out by a generation of overlord Long Zhanye, they carry the glory of Jingzhou men on their shoulders. The scars on their bodies are the most dazzling medals.
Veterans don't die, they just wither.
Wu Fengcheng looked to the east and found that Su Can's movement had become sluggish.
It's like a giant snail wriggling.
Chasing down the troops behind the palace is no easier than besieging a large group of enemy troops.
Generally speaking, everyone in the Royal Highness Army has a heart to see death as home. If you want to completely annihilate them, you will have to pay a lot of money.
The 2,000 soldiers led by Su Can, most of them middle and lower-level officers and leaders of wealthy clans, all had a pro-Su Can stance and were Su Can's henchmen.
In Su Can's opinion, this is already his own team.
At this time, Su Can's department was also very tired, and of course Su Can didn't want his team to work hard and suffer from consumption.
His abacus, of course, was to wait for Wu Feng to fight hard and destroy the enemy's formation, and then he would come to pick up the cheap and collect the head.
However, there are also many people under Wu Feng's command who he brought back from the grassland, or recruited from his territory around Wancheng, and belong to his own team.
If he caused his own army to suffer heavy casualties in order to eat Lin Han's person, he would undoubtedly not be able to accept it. If the opponent is allowed to flee calmly and is not annihilated, it will inevitably increase the enemy's morale.
Wu Feng's eyes swept and he looked at Ji Hongyan next to him, only to see that the girl's sea-blue body had been stained with blood.
Even though she is covered with steel armor, she also shows that her towering breasts are pressing, as if her have risen.
A woman with such a big chest generally doesn't have a very good brain. Although Ji Hongyan belonged to Su Can's party, he probably wouldn't have thought of it for a while.
Before, she had a big battle with Gang Yuanxin, one of the young generation of Shenxiao Dao and one of the left and right masters, and only had a draw, and her face was not too good-looking.
"Chick. Wu Feng called in a low voice: "Do you still have the strength to fight?"
Ji Hongyan glanced at him with slight annoyance, and snorted: "It won't be a problem to fight for another three days and three nights." ”
"Okay!" Wu Feng high-fived and said, "I will hand over the most elite two hundred people to you as the striker and launch a central breakthrough against Lin Hanbu!"
For the broken rear troops with a small but solid formation, it is a very effective means of attack to insert elite soldiers into it, make its formation collapse, and then calmly annihilate it.
"Piece of cake. Ji Hongyan said proudly, looking proud, like a peacock on the screen, and like a bright phoenix.
Wu Feng quickly ordered twenty chiefs and ordered them to take their troops to launch an assault with Ji Hongyan.
Ji Hongyan raised his spear and led the soldiers to kill the enemy like a blue whirlwind.
Suddenly, treasures of gold and silver were thrown out like raindrops and fell in front of them.
Someone looked greedy and wanted to pick it up.
Ji Hongyan roared angrily: "Whoever dares to pick one up, this girl will be killed with one shot immediately! Annihilate the enemy, all the gold and silver treasures are everyone's, are you still in a hurry?"
The phoenix's eyes were so powerful that the soldiers of the Divine Hall did not dare to move.
No one dared to pick up the gold, silver, and jewelry.
Seeing that the strategy of harassing the enemy with gold and silver failed, Lin Han and the others did not show a look of frustration.
Boom Boom!
Dozens of gunshots rang out, and in the middle of the sharp stroke, someone was shot and fell to the ground in an instant, and died bloodily.
Among this small army behind the palace, there were dozens of iron gunners.
Snipers are difficult to train because of the high recoil of iron cannons and low hit rate, and it is much more difficult to achieve a high hit rate than archers.
However, if you want to get started, iron cannons are actually easier than bows and arrows.
What's more, it is also shooting troops moving at high speed, of course, it is not easy to hit. However, the huge sound of the iron cannon when it was fired, the splashing of fire after the hit, and the explosion of blood and even brains were undoubtedly much greater than the psychological shock of the bow and arrow.
For a while, among the elite soldiers behind her, some of them showed fear on their faces.
Ji Hongyan flew with a spear in his hand, and actually smashed a bullet in rapid flight to the side, and roared angrily: "What are you afraid of? No matter how you die, it's a pile of dirt, what's there to be afraid of? If you don't want to die, you will desperately kill the enemy!"
As he spoke, he had already rushed to the front of the enemy formation, picked up an iron spear that was almost the thickness of a bowl, and smashed it down, smashing an iron gunner who had not had time to retreat into the formation into a meat patty.
Ji Hongyan's bravery made the tired soldiers once again inspire their fighting spirit and charge up with her.
"Sons, hold on!" Lin Han ordered in a vicissitudes of life and magnetic tone: "No matter what, the enemy can't be allowed to break through the line!"
A thick and dense shield array was in front of the formation, and the power of the thick formation was condensed. The soldiers urged the power of the formation with their will to die, resisting Ji Hongyan and the elite soldiers of the Shentang Army behind her.
The eyes of the Shenxiao veterans are bright and condensed, and there are vicissitudes but no tiredness. Everyone's pupils were spewing with murderous aura.
Like a great wall, it lies between heaven and earth. Everyone stepped on the nine grounds, the sky above their heads, although the Great Wall is condensed of flesh and blood, but it is better than iron and steel.
Ji Hongyan originally wanted to rush into battle alone and destroy the enemy army like he did in the first battle of Anxiang City, when he attacked the main part of Jiuzhong Cishi in Yannancang, but he was blocked by a row of gable-like iron shields, and he couldn't move as if he was stuck in a quagmire.
After all, Ji Hongyan does not have the super cultivation like Bai Junlang, although he has a body of blood bravery, but if the enemy is not afraid of death, it will be difficult to use blood bravery.
"It's time for us to attack. Wu Feng said to Luo Tingyu, and as soon as he beat the command flag, the remaining troops quickly dispersed and outflanked Lin Hanbu from both sides.
The central breakthrough supplemented by the outflanking of the two flanks is an extremely effective mode of combat when occupying the superiority of forces.
