Chapter 203: Contradictions
Mu Jun never thought that the Jin army, which was only so many people, would dare to fight back, the Mu army was caught off guard, the soldiers in front couldn't resist it at all, and batches of them were cut down to the ground by the Jin army, and the Mu army behind saw it really, and felt cold, and did not dare to fight again, so they turned around and ran backwards.
They wanted to retreat, but the Mu army behind them couldn't see the situation in front of them clearly at all, and continued to press forward, and as a result, this retreat and advance collided together, making the Mu army's camp even more chaotic.
In the narrow canyon, there are nearly 20,000 wooden troops in it, and at this time the front and back are disjointed, clashing, crowding, trampling, and already in chaos.
In this way, it created convenient conditions for the Jin army's rush to kill, and people all used their strength to kill the enemy bravely, frantically chopping the enemy in front of them, and the battle of 2,000 people against 20,000 people formed a one-sided situation on the scene, 20,000 people were beaten by 2,000 people without the power to fight back, and even the battle was not seen on the battlefield, only one-sided slaughter remained.
At this time, Sima Changren, who was fighting outside the canyon, couldn't stand it anymore, and ordered his subordinates to withdraw their troops.
When this wooden army finally withdrew from the canyon, Sima Changren immediately asked the generals who led the troops to be tied up and waited for them to fall, and then he chose another general and ordered him to take another 20,000 soldiers into the canyon to annihilate the Jin army and capture Lin Haotian.
The attack of the wooden army did not stop, the troops of the previous wave had just withdrawn, and the second wave of attacks began.
The Jin army was still repeating the old trick, and put the heavy cavalry on the stone wall, with the heavy cavalry as the main force to resist the enemy, and the others cooperated with the attack behind the stone wall.
However, this time Lin Haotian also kept an eye on it, and divided the two thousand soldiers under his command into three waves, one wave went into battle, and two waves rested behind. When the soldiers who went into battle were tired, they would choose another wave to replace them.
The second wave of the Wood Army's attack was much more ferocious than the first wave, and the soldiers charged more desperately, almost rushing forward without regard for life and death.
At this time, Lin Haotian could only go into battle again, wielding the Xuantie Han Halberd to slash at the endless wooden army around him. to lighten the burden on their own soldiers.
The battle lasted for more than three hours, and after fighting for so long, even an iron man would feel tired, let alone Lin Haotian? He couldn't remember how many wooden soldiers he had killed, and the corpses around him were stacked one after another, and they were so high, and when they reached Zuihou, Lin Haotian's mind and body were already numb, and he just mechanically waved the Xuantie Halberd.
The battle on the battlefield was fought to the point of white-hot. The soldiers on both sides fought desperately, at this time, the heavy cavalry of the Jin army once again exerted strong combat effectiveness, the heavy cavalry stood on the stone wall, like a steel wall, no matter how the wooden soldiers rushed to kill, they could not break through the slightest gap, and the wooden soldiers were stabbed down a group when they pounced. However, knowing that he was dead, Mu Jun was still like a moth to a fire. Fearless madness.
On the ground in front of the stone wall, there were corpses of wooden soldiers, stumps and broken arms, weapons and armor scattered all over the ground, blood gathered on the ground into a small river, wandering and flowing, the whole canyon was filled with the smell of death and the strong smell of blood.
The battle was fought to this extent. Both sides are gritting their teeth and holding up, and now the competition is no longer about combat strength, but fighting spirit, no matter which side appears to be slightly lax, he will be greeted by defeat and death.
The Jin army of two thousand was divided into three waves. Take turns to fight, as time goes by, the three waves of personnel have replaced three rounds, but the wooden army still has no signs of retreating, at this time, the stone wall built up by the Jin army has become useless, because the corpse of the wooden army has been as high as the stone wall, and the wooden army behind it rushes forward to kill, just step on the corpse of his companion can go directly to the stone wall, but even so, the wooden army is still difficult to cross the thunder pool half a step, and is killed by the heavy armored cavalry outside.
The battle lasted from noon to late afternoon, and the exhausted and heavy casualties of the wooden army finally could not hold on, and the whole army withdrew from the canyon, leaving behind mountains of corpses.
After the wooden army retreated, the soldiers of the Jin Army led by Lin Haotian were like deflated balls, paralyzed on the ground and unable to stand up, the bones on their bodies seemed to be scattered, and every muscle was sore and painful.
Lin Haotian rested for a moment, then stood up, looking around at his own soldiers and counting the number of people.
After a battle, the original two cadres and more than 500 soldiers suffered more than 500 casualties, only more than 1,000 people remained, looking out, the corpses of the wooden army have been piled up on the stone wall, if the wooden army launched a fierce attack again, I am afraid that it will be difficult for their side to hold on.
Lin Haotian couldn't give his brothers much time to rest, and not long after the battle ended, he immediately organized manpower to build another stone wall about ten meters behind the stone wall.
Thanks to the abundance of time this time, the soldiers were able to carry larger stones and make the stone walls higher and stronger.
Finally after all these pre-war preparations were handled, Lin Hao handed down the order, and all the soldiers could rest.
Hearing Lin Haotian's words, most of the soldiers couldn't hold on any longer, and fell to the ground one after another, not even having the strength to take off their armor, and slept with their clothes.
The soldiers can sleep, but Lin Haotian doesn't dare, although it is not suitable for attacking at night, but who knows if the wooden army will make a sneak attack, he sat on the stone wall outside, looking at the piles of wooden army corpses in front of him, and silently wondered what Sima Changren was doing now.
With Sima Changren's arrogant character, he must be furious now, and the number of Mu troops under his command is so large that he can't defeat more than 1,000 people on his own side, how can he stand it? I'm afraid that Sima Changren may not be able to hold the battle until the next day.
Thinking of this, Lin Haotian's eyes flashed with a green and faint light, with thousands of people to resist several times, dozens of times his own enemies, even if he has the advantage of geographical advantages, a whole day of fierce fighting, the personnel must be exhausted, if he is Sima Changren, he will never give the other party a whole night of rest, even if he does not take advantage of the night to sneak attack, he must make continuous harassment, so that the opponent is not at peace.
If he can still think of this, will the eldest grandson Yuanhong not think of it?
Lin Haotian took a deep breath, his eyes rolled, and he already had a plan in his heart.
His estimate was not wrong, Sima Changren did have plans to sneak attack in the middle of the night, but his Jihua was disrupted by the Jin army that suddenly arrived.
The first to arrive was the first army of the first Jin country, and the more than 70,000 men and horses were coming with a strong momentum and momentum, directly blocking the southern road of the wooden army.
Before the Mu army could make corresponding countermeasures, an army of more than 70,000 people from the north rushed to the north, which was the second army led by Bi Wu.
Lin Haotian failed to arrive at his own ambush site, was caught up by the cavalry of the Mu Kingdom, and was forced into a death valley, and the spies of the Jin Kingdom immediately passed the news to the two armies.
When the commanders of the two armies, Ding Feng, Bi Wu, and Ling Wuya, heard this, their faces suddenly changed in fright, where did they dare to delay, and urged the soldiers under their command to rush to the Absolute Valley Mountain, and approached the wooden army from the north and south respectively, and formed a flanking attack.
If it were someone else, in the face of these many sudden enemy troops, he would definitely panic and be at a loss, but Sima Changren was very calm, unhurriedly assigned troops, strictly guarded his own camp, and sent several spies to bypass the Jin army and return to his own camp, asking the Zhou side to send troops to help.
In Sima Changren's view, the Jin army can launch a flanking attack on his own side, and he can also flank the Jin army, as long as Zhou Fang leads his own army to arrive, he and he can flank the Jin army in the south from the north and south, first attack this wave of Jin army, and then turn the spearhead and concentrate Liliang to deal with the enemy in the north.
Only he designed it well, but Zhou Fang did not act according to his military orders.
In Zhou Fang's view, if he led his army north to reinforce, his own camp was empty, and he would inevitably be attacked by the Jin army in Liaodong City, and if the camp was lost, all the materials, ordnance, grain and grass would be destroyed, which would be a fatal blow to his own army that fought deep in Jin. In addition, if he goes north, he will directly face the first and second legions of the Jin State, and these two legions are the most powerful in the Jin army.
Due to these two considerations, Zhou Fang felt that it was the best policy to hold the camp steadily, and although he received an order from Sima Changren, he did not lead the army north for reinforcements.
At this time, the contradiction between the generals and commanders of the wooden army was prominently reflected, which also caused the wooden army to fall into passivity. (To be continued......)
