Chapter 1311: Twin Cities
Ningnan's 20th Army Corps rushed to the battlefield, but it was standing on the periphery of the battlefield, like a bystander, sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, without the slightest intention of participating in the battle.
Seeing that his own situation was becoming more and more critical, and he was defeated by the Feng Army, while the Twentieth Army was completely ignoring, Fan Ru hated it so much that his teeth itched, and scolded Zhang Tianyi for being cowardly like a mouse, greedy for life and afraid of death.
A staff officer beside him shook his head and said, "Zhang Tianyi has always been brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, how can he be a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Zhang Tianyi can sit in the position of the commander of the corps, there is no backstage, it all depends on his own talent and hard work, if he is as timid as a mouse, greedy for life and afraid of death, he will never have today's achievements.
Fan Ru hated: "Since he is not greedy for life and afraid of death, why has he refused to participate in the war until now?"
The general rolled his eyes and said, "This battle is led by the general, and the message is sent to the 20th Army Corps, so that the 20th Army Corps can send troops to participate in the battle. Once our army wins a great victory, who does the general think will have the greatest credit?"
Fan Ru thought for a moment, and said suspiciously: "You mean, Zhang Tianyi, this puppet, is afraid that I will make the first merit and outperform him?"
"Nine times out of ten. The general said: "People have selfish intentions, and Zhang Tianyi will not be an exception." ”
Hearing the analysis of his subordinates, Fan Ru thought so, and he was even more angry and hateful in his heart, the battle between the enemy and us had reached the moment of life and death, and Zhang Tianyi was still thinking about the issue of merit, and it was really hateful to not save his own soldiers when they saw death.
He pondered for a moment and ordered: "Pass the order, the whole army retreats, and moves closer to the direction of the 20th Army!"
Fan Ru is a good general, but he also has a fatal weakness, that is, he is a great merit, and it is precisely because of his natural greed for merit that he will treat others with himself, and identify the abnormal performance of the 20th Army as competing with his own side, and do not think in the direction that the 20th Army has defected to the Fengguo.
Under Fan Ru's order, the 21st Army Corps, which was struggling to support on the battlefield, all retreated, withdrew from the battlefield, and rushed to the direction of the 20th Army with all their might.
Fan Ru wanted to make this immortal feat of the main force of the Wind Army, but the 21st Army alone could not do this at all, and if he continued to persevere, the whole army would be in danger of being wiped out, so he could only give up the plan to dominate the army, go to join the 20th Army, and then meet the Wind Army with the 20th Army, and all the combat exploits would be equally shared with the 20th Army.
However, he had already planned in his heart, after this battle, he must report Zhang Tianyi's performance to the imperial court, and it is best to give him another hat of collaborator, even if he can't pull Zhang Tianyi off the horse, at least let the imperial court reprimand him fiercely.
When the battle between the two sides was in full swing, the 21st Army suddenly retreated, how could it be so easy to withdraw?
However, to the surprise of Fan Ru and the soldiers of the 21st Legion, the Feng Army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue with all their might, but followed behind the 21st Legion not far away, only making the illusion of pursuit.
The performance of the wind army made Fan Ru secretly happy, it seems that the arrival of the twentieth army still played some role, at least it deterred the wind army, so that the wind army did not dare to chase and kill itself with all its might.
When the distance between the two sides was less than two miles, Fan Ru sent a member of his command to let him take the lead in going to the Twentieth Army, inform Zhang Tianyi, and immediately go out to meet the enemy.
The general took dozens of soldiers and rode to the Twentieth Army Corps.
Looking ahead, I saw that the front of the 20th Army camp was full of artillery, row by row, column by column, I could not count how many, groups of artillerymen, shirtless, carrying boxes of ammunition to the artillery position.
After looking at it, the corners of the general's mouth twitched, no wonder the 20th Army rushed over so slowly, it turned out that the artillery of the whole army was carried over.
At the same time as he was secretly angry in his heart, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, there was no artillery in the Wind Army at all, and now that he was assisted by so many artillery, it was easy to defeat the Wind Army.
When the general and his men approached within 100 meters of the camp of the 20th Army, they saw countless soldiers pouring out of the artillery position in front, the first row of soldiers squatting on the ground, the second row of soldiers standing upright, and the two rows of soldiers brushing the ground with firearms.
Before the general could understand what was going on, the general of the 20th Army had already swung his sword forward and shouted, "Shoot—"
The soldiers below don't care how many they are, they don't care who they are under their guns, and they just carry out the orders of the superior generals. With the order of the general, the two platoons of soldiers pulled the trigger in unison and fired at the front.
Bang bang bang!
A long column of gunfire erupted, and a long column of smoke rose. Looking at the dozens of people who came on horseback, most of them fell in an instant, some of them were shot, some of them were shot, some of them were shot on their horses, and they fell and rolled on the ground.
After firing a shot, the soldiers in the first two rows immediately retreated, and the soldiers in the back two rows filled forward, still the first row squatting, and the second row standing upright.
"Don't fire, don't fire, we are our own people......" Seeing that more than ten people were shot and killed by the 20th Army at once, the generals and the soldiers under their command were anxious and angry, and shouted loudly in front of them.
The soldiers, who were already ready to shoot, did not shoot immediately, but turned their heads to look at the general. Without a moment's hesitation, the latter continued to swing his sword forward, shouting, "Keep shooting!"
Hearing the order, no soldier hesitated, and everyone pulled the trigger again.
After this round of volleys, none of the dozens of soldiers who ran over could still sit on horses, dozens of horses were all knocked down, and dozens of soldiers, some were killed on the spot, and some were still squirming and struggling on the ground.
The general was covered in spirit armor, but the spirit armor was also full of bullet marks, and he got up from the ground with difficulty, and as he ran forward, he waved his hand again and again, and roared: "We are our own people! Don't fire! We are all our own people——"
"Shoot!" the general of the 20th Army swung his sword forward as if he had not heard the general's words.
A new round of salvo fire came, and hundreds, thousands of projectiles flew towards the general, and the projectiles hit the spirit armor, clanging, and the sound of the projectiles piercing through the flesh and skin was endless.
In an instant, the general was covered in blood mist from head to toe, he couldn't hold on any longer, his legs were weak, he knelt on the ground, he used the spirit sword to support his crumbling body, and said intermittently: "We are all our own people......"
Bang bang bang!
No one listened to him, and he was answered by another volley. The general's body has been beaten into a blood sieve, his head and body are full of blood holes, and his kneeling body has also fallen head-on.
The situation on their side was also clearly seen by the officers and men of the 21st Army who came later, and the people were all at a loss, and the second monk was puzzled, not understanding why the 20th Army suddenly opened fire on their side.
The 21st Army was still moving closer to the 20th Army. Seeing that the main force of the 21st Army was close to a mile away from his side, Guan Ji, the deputy commander of the 20th Army, came to the artillery position and directly ordered the artillery commander: "Immediately shell the incoming enemy!"
"This-" The artillery commander was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, it was obviously the 21st Army Corps on the opposite side, how could he shell his own people?
He just hesitated, Guan Ji waved his hand suddenly, and shouted: "If you don't obey the order, take it immediately, from now on, this deputy marshal will directly command the artillery!"
Following his order, two personal soldiers immediately walked up behind Guan Ji, and when they came to the front of the artillery master, they couldn't help but pick him up and drag him to the side.
The artillery commander finally reacted and shouted: "General Guan, Brother Ji, I ...... What did I do wrong?"
"You go down to rest first!" Guan Ji raised his head to the artillery commander who was dragged away, and shouted to the artillery generals present: "All listen to my generals, and immediately shell the enemy!"
The top bosses who have a deep personal relationship with Guan Ji have all been taken down, and where do the remaining generals dare to hesitate, people shouted one after another, and the general's order was conveyed.
"Reload—"
"Reload all—"
"Ignition!" "Shoot!"
Boom Boom Boom –
In an instant, the artillery position was like a frying pan, and the guns of one door after another spewed out clusters of flames, and one after another shells shot out of the barrels, roaring in the air, and smashed into the camp of the 21st Army.
The officers and men of the 21st Legion, who were running forward, were stunned and stupid at this time, and the people all stopped and raised their eyes to the sky, only to see black dots whizzing over their heads, and then smashing into the center of their own camp behind them.
Time seemed to stand still, the scene was silent for a few seconds, and then, the rumbling explosions were continuous, and the center of the 21st Army camp seemed to be turned upside down, nothing could be seen, everywhere was dust that had been shaken up, everywhere was filled with gunsmoke, and the screams and wails that came from it did not seem to be made by humans.
This is just the beginning, the artillery of the 20th Legion, like bursting beans, is non-stop, round after round of shells smashed into the camp of the 21st Legion, and the continuous explosion sound made the ground tremble.
The ferocious artillery bombardment of the 20th Army Corps made the 21st Army Corps dizzy, and the disaster was that at this time, the Wind Army attacked from behind the 21st Army Corps.
At this time, the 21st Army, which had no fighting spirit, was still the opponent of the Wind Army, and the soldiers in the rear could only be forced to run forward, but soon, they ran into the area covered by the artillery of the 20th Army.
It has become a living hell on earth, the ground is full of craters, stumps and broken arms, and the corpses of the soldiers of the 21st Army are everywhere. And the new ones who ran in quickly became part of the corpses all over the ground.
The artillery bombardment continued endlessly, and the wind army attacking from the rear became more and more ferocious, and the middle and rear armies of the 21st Army were beaten to the point that there was no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the ground, and the army was almost completely annihilated.
The former soldiers were not in the range of the artillery, and the people continued to run.
They were less than a hundred meters away from the 20th Army Corps, and they were greeted not by the artillery of the 20th Army, but by the infantry phalanx of the 20th Army. Zhang Tianyi personally led the troops into battle, commanded the infantry phalanx, and fired at the oncoming remnants of the defeated generals.
This is not a battle at all, but a one-sided slaughter.
The soldiers of the 21st Regiment ran forward and were knocked down a group, and the corpses on the ground were stacked on top of each other, all covering a thick layer. The scene can be described as a mountain of corpses and a river of blood.
The horrific shelling finally stopped, and in this shelling the Twentieth Army had exhausted all the shells of the whole army. What followed was the encirclement and annihilation battle between the Twentieth Army and the Wind Army.
The Twentieth Legion was in front, and the Wind Army Legion was behind, besieging the remnants of the Twenty-first Legion in the middle.
The ensuing battle completed a one-sided situation. The 21st Army of Ningnan, a full 100,000 soldiers, failed to run away from a few people in the end, and was basically wiped out in this battle.
Even Fan Ru, the commander of the 21st Army, died tragically under the fire of the 20th Army.
This battle was the famous Battle of the Twin Cities, and it was also an important battle that decided the fate of Ningnan.
In this battle, the 300,000 troops arranged in the southern front in the south of Ning were almost wiped out, the 21st Army of the main army, the whole army was annihilated, the commander of the army was killed, the 20th Army of the main army, the whole army defected to the country of wind, as for the 13th Army Corps, it did not participate in the war at all, since it was scared away by the Wind Army, the 13th Army ran all the way to the north, and when it passed by Gaoyang and Jiuzhen 2 City, it did not stop, and fled to the north of Jiangling County, and the frightened 13th Army Corps stopped.
The Battle of the Twin Cities broke out too quickly and ended too quickly, and in just one day, the southern front arranged by Ningnan in Gaoyang and Jiuzhen completely fell.
The Wind Army was menacing, all the way north, it looked as if it was pursuing the Thirteenth Legion, but in fact, the pursuit of the Thirteenth Legion was just a pretense, and the real purpose of the Wind Army was to take Tianjing by surprise.
