Chapter 240: The Brave Are Invincible

Seeing that his soldiers were killed by the first army, the crying father and mother, and the army was defeated, the Zhou side urgently sent a war overseer army to shoot all the soldiers who retreated.

In the passive, Zhou's iron bowl military law played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army, the soldiers of the wooden army were afraid of the Jin army, but they were more afraid of the war army behind.

With the appearance of the Overseer Army and the killing of the soldiers, the Mu Army, who was about to be mad by fear, completely fell into a state of madness and launched a fierce counterattack against the Jin Army.

The counterattack of the wooden army was somewhat unprepared, and the soldiers who advanced to the wooden camp were forced back to the wall.

Then, Ding Feng personally climbed the wall regardless of the danger and commanded the soldiers of the whole army to fight, and the first army immediately launched a second round of suppression and stormed the interior of the wooden camp.

The battle has been fought so far, and it has completely become a hard-nosed confrontation between the tip of the needle and Maimang, without any stealing shortcuts, all relying on their true strength.

On the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides fell row after row, you died a thousand, I died eight hundred, the corpses on the ground were spread layer after layer, and the blood had dyed the blood red of the wooden army camp.

Now, it was extremely difficult for the Jin army to push forward every time, trampling on the corpses of countless companions and enemies.

When the battle between the two sides became stalemate, Ding Feng once again used his own death squads.

The number of soldiers of this group of the First Army was not large, only 2,000 people, all of them were lightly armed, shirtless, with a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, passing through the crowd of their own soldiers and plunging into the camp of the wooden army.

Two thousand death squads slaughtered into the wooden army, like a tiger into a wolf pack, and cut down people when they saw them. In the blink of an eye, two thousand people became red, and their bodies were stained red with the constant spray of blood.

Under the impact of their savagery, madness, and deathlessness, the originally neat wooden army camp was in chaos and had no choice but to do so. The wooden army could only concentrate its forces to deal with the death squad of the First Legion that had rushed to kill recently, so that the overall formation was even more chaotic.

2,000 people, surrounded by more than 100,000 people, did not hold out for long, and finally all died under the chaotic blade of the wooden army, but with their containment, the Jin army pushed the camp of the wooden army more than 30 meters away, and won enough space for the entry of the soldiers behind their own side.

Zhou Fang, who was supervising the battle, was already sweating in the rain at this time, and he couldn't figure it out. Why is the combat effectiveness of the First Legion so strong, even he can't help but wonder if the soldiers who make up the First Legion are still not human beings, if someone stands up at this time and says that the First Legion is a group of devils and monsters, he will definitely raise his hands in approval.

Although the other side has tens of thousands of people left in the battle, and his side still has more than 100,000, looking at the situation on the battlefield, he can still judge that his defeat is decided, and there is no other way. He could only mobilize all the Ning troops from other parts of the camp and work together to block the first army's charge.

With another 50,000 people of the wooden army rushed over. Its total strength had reached 200,000, but even so, the wooden army did not have an advantage, and only in a short time it was on par with the First Army.

Just as Zhou Fang was thinking hard about the time to break the enemy, a spy suddenly came to report that a Jin army appeared in the north and west of the camp. The number of people is unknown, and they are now rushing towards their own camp at full speed.

Hearing this, Zhou Fang's head buzzed, and he almost fell to the ground on the spot, he had just gathered the soldiers from all over the camp in the southern camp. The North Camp and the West Camp were attacked by the Jin Army again, where did this come out of the Jin Army, how can this make itself good?

Now Zhou Fang has no idea at all, it's not that he is incompetent, it's not that he is not in good command, it's that the battle of the First Army is too strong, and it can't be handled by a 100,000 or 200,000 wooden army.

There is no time to think too much, the lives of more than 200,000 soldiers are tied to his thoughts, Zhou Fang made a judgment in the shortest possible time, this battle can no longer be fought, if the Jin army breaks through from the north camp and the west camp recently, his own side will be annihilated.

He made a quick decision and ordered the whole army to retreat and retreat to the inner camp.

The large camp of the wooden army is divided into the inner camp and the outer camp, and the area of the inner camp is not large, and the 200,000 wooden army has to retreat into the inner camp, and even the tents inside have to be dismantled and vacated. Of course, Zhou Fang did not plan to stick to the inner camp anymore, but to abandon the camp and flee, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, as long as the people did not die, there would be a chance to fight back.

Under the mobilization of the Zhou side, the wooden army retreated to the inner camp in batches, and 200,000 people were crowded into the small inner camp, crowding people from person to person, and it was difficult to find a gap in the middle.

Zhou Fang did not pause for a moment, and immediately issued another order, the whole army boarded the warship, went south along the Wang River, and first escaped from the attack range of the Jin army.

On land, the wooden army can't beat the Jin army, and it can't outrun the Jin army, but on the water, Zhou Fang is full of confidence, if the Jin army doesn't chase and kill, it's just that, if they dare to chase and kill, they will have no return.

The 200,000 men were not to be completed in a short period of time, and the 50,000 wooden troops were stubbornly defending the walls of the inner camp to create as much time for their companions to evacuate as possible.

However, the 1st Legion, which stormed the Wood Army's camp, soon found a large offensive weapon in the battalion - trebuchets.

The First Legion gathered all these weapons that had just been used against itself in one place, and in turn used them to attack the inner camp of the Wooden Army.

The walls of the camp are not as strong as the city walls, where can they withstand the attack of the trebuchet, the stone thrower directly throws the boulder into the inner camp and smashes the wooden army inside.

There were too many wooden troops, and they were crowded together, and they saw the boulders falling overhead, but there was no way to dodge, and for a while, the screams and shouts in the inner camp were everywhere, and the soldiers of the wooden army who were smashed into flesh could be seen everywhere.

Ding Feng didn't know what was going on in the inner camp, but when he heard the movement inside, he could guess that he was not far from ten.

At this time, he no longer ordered the soldiers to storm the inner camp and increase their own casualties, but instead ordered the whole army to release arrows into the inner camp, and the trebuchets and other objects should not stop, and they could shoot as many crossbow arrows as they could, and throw as many stones as they could.

His order can hurt the wooden army that retreated into the inner camp, the wooden army that can squeeze into the ship first is lucky, and those who can get on the ship in the future are like being in hell, and the crossbow arrows and boulders left by Zhou Fang to the first army are too many to be used up.

Under the continuous impact of the crossbow arrows, the wall has become full of holes, and you are also nailed to death and wounded in the back, and the arrow rain of the first legion falls into the inner camp one after another, and the crisp sound of the arrow piercing the steel armor is endless, and the most fatal thing is the boulder thrown in by the trebuchet, which can not be prevented, blocked, and cannot be stopped, and the pieces of wooden sergeants are broken into a ball with shields under the smashing pressure of the boulder.

Throughout the battle, the only place where Zhou Fang's improper command may have been the hasty retreat to the inner camp, which just confirmed the correctness of Ding Feng's combat policy, using tenacious combat effectiveness and hard willpower to oppress the opponent, and the opponent took the initiative to make mistakes.

When the wooden army escaped from the camp by warship, and then looked at the inner camp, the corpses were all over the place, piled up into mountains, and the blood collected and flowed to the bank of the river, dyeing the banks of the Wang River red for several miles......

In the end, the battle ended with the evacuation of more than 100,000 remnants of the defeated soldiers led by Zhou Fang, if you just count the casualties on both sides, you can't see who is the winner, the casualties of the first army in this battle are more than 50,000, and the casualties of the wooden army are also more than 50,000, it seems that the losses on both sides are comparable, but the first army successfully captured the Jiangxi camp, opened the east gate of the wood country in one fell swoop, from Jiangxi County and then west to Xiangyang, the capital of the wood country, the wood country has no danger to defend, this strategic value is immeasurable.

Zhou Fang fled south by boat, only to walk ten miles, just happened to meet the Fourth Army that had crossed the Wang River, at this time Lin Haotian had already received the battle report from the front spies in front, and the knowledge Zhou Fang was invincible and fled, for this enemy who ran to his nose, how could Lin Haotian let go of a good opportunity to beat the water dogs.

He ordered his soldiers to escort the Mu army prisoners, and all the captured Mu warships were parked in the middle of the river to intercept the Zhou Fang and others.

Of course, it was impossible for them to intercept Zhou Fang's hundreds of warships with a dozen or so broken warships, and Lin Haotian's intention was also very simple, disgusting Zhou Fang.

The result was also as Lin Haotian expected, the more than ten warships he arranged did make Zhou Fang very disgusting. (To be continued......)
