Volume 4 Southwest Raiders Chapter 280 The First Battle of Hezhou City (Final)
Hearing the drum will advance, and the sound of gold will retreat.
This is a military rule that every non-commissioned officer who enters the army for training will remember after the first training.
No one can disobey this most important order in the army, otherwise it will be a serious violation of military law and should be beheaded!
As the most elite and most knowledgeable officers and soldiers in Yuzhou and even the entire Sichuan and Shu today, everyone knows the importance of this one.
Therefore, when the big camp behind him suddenly sounded the sound of dangdang gold, whether they had noticed it for a long time or were still bent on chasing and killing the enemy, the Vietnamese soldiers suddenly stopped at this moment.
Sun Ning was just about to open his mouth and roar, but after hearing this timely sound of gold, he was also stunned, and then he was overjoyed.
I'm really worried about it, but there is a veteran general like Yan Hu in the back, if it is bright today, he can naturally see the situation ahead, how can he let the army crash into the dangerous road?
This signal to withdraw the troops came at the right time.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Japanese battalion reflected the results of many days of training, and together with the sound of gold, they all stopped, assembled on the spot, reunited into a team, and then exterminated the lone barbarians around them one by one.
Sun Ning also quickly retreated at this time, returned to the army, and also gathered with Xiao Qian, who was also chasing and killing the enemy and fighting separately, she was still a little unhappy: "Why do you suddenly have to withdraw your troops?" ”
"Because if we continue to fight, it will be against us!" Sun Ning smiled, then turned around and ordered, "Order, the army slowly retreats, keep a distance from the enemy!" ”
Now that he has given another order, he will be much more calm, and his subordinates will pass on His Majesty's orders to every brigade, every outpost, and every soldier.
Just as the whole army was about to retreat slowly, suddenly in front of him, one man did not retreat, but advanced, and took a few steps forward, and then, under the surprised gaze of everyone, he saw that he had raised a bow.
Nie Long, after hearing the sound of Mingjin, was also stunned.
He knew that this was the wisest decision, but he was still a little unwilling, the target was more than thirty steps ahead, maybe he could kill it behind him and kill it as long as he rushed.
But now, he is about to stop and return to the camp, won't this low-hanging fruit fly?
In his frustration, he suddenly caught a glimpse of several archers beside him who wanted to retreat, and his heart suddenly moved, and he immediately stepped forward to grab their bows and arrows from the two archers.
Those subordinates were all stunned, and they all exclaimed: "Nie Sentinel......"
Nie Long didn't have time to pay attention to them, because the target took advantage of this time to run forward for a long time, and it was already fifty paces away, and it was really too late to make a move.
Therefore, he ignored the exclamations of his subordinates around him, and disregarded the discipline of the army, and instead of continuing to move forward after Mingjin, he held the two bows in his hands and wound the arrows, and rushed forward at the same time, taking advantage of the situation to raise the bow and aim forward.
"Bah——!"
With a loud shout, the two eight-bucket bows were actually pulled by him at the same time, his eyes gathered, and completely landed on the target's vest, and then decisively let go of his fingers.
"Uhh
The sharp arrow quickly left the string, rushing forward in the air, and the constantly rotating arrow seemed to be able to tear apart the air in front of it.
In almost three or five breaths, it had crossed a distance of fifty or sixty paces, and then suddenly fell again, reaching the back of the target's heart.
"Patriarch be careful!"
It wasn't until the arrow flashed on its own side and nailed to the back of Xiong Dare's heart that many barbarians around him screamed in horror, some people pounced on him, and some people brandished weapons to help him block.
But it was too late.
Because this arrow came so fast and so powerful, almost at the moment when these people raised their voices to warn, the arrow had already entered the bear daring vest.
There was a pop, and his figure suddenly stagnated, and his footsteps stumbled a few times, his body stiffened, screaming, and the person was already planted straight ahead......
It wasn't until he screamed that the barbarians in front of him came back to their senses and turned around, and then they were horrified to see that an arrow had emerged from the patriarch's chest, and there were still a few drops of blood on it.
"Patriarch......" Everyone was horrified, and hurriedly rushed up, picked up the person and carried it on their shoulders.
At this time, the Vietnamese army was still not far behind, they didn't dare to stop, they didn't care about inquiring about the patriarch's injury, they took people, and continued to move forward, until they really joined the reinforcements out of the city, they were relieved, and after putting the people down, they hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.
But at this time, Xiong Dare had already been seriously injured and unconscious, his face was colorless, and even his breathing became extremely weak.
This time, the blow to the barbarians was even more severe.
Xiong Dare as the master of the five departments of the bear, has always won everyone's trust and respect, and now his injury naturally made everyone feel a deep fear, even the new reinforcements out of the city, did not have the courage to continue fighting, just stood there in a daze, watching the Vietnamese army slowly retreat from a distance.
At this time, the Vietnamese army had already put on the most suitable position for withdrawing troops, and retreated slowly but firmly, seeing that the barbarians had no intention of chasing, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, as they stopped and gathered, many soldiers felt the fatigue of their whole bodies, and those who were injured also felt bursts of pain on their bodies, and some people only felt that they could not even hold their swords and guns.
Before, because of the homeopathic pursuit, under the stimulation of adrenaline, all the soldiers forgot about their pain and exhaustion, and even felt that they could still enter Hezhou and fight the enemy for a day and a night.
But now, they know that they are not beaten by iron after all, and under the fatigue, they are already at the end of their strong crossbows.
If that barbarian force really rushed over at this time, they really didn't know if they could stop it.
Fortunately, the enemy also seemed to be afraid of his own might, and after receiving the defeated army, he also stopped, but avoided a bloody battle.
Eventually, as the Vietnamese army retreated to the camp, the barbarians also returned to the city.
When the time came to noon, under the sun, outside the city of Hezhou, there was only a corpse lying horizontally, and the blood of Bobo flowed and gathered everywhere, and it actually became a red stream.
The battle, which began with a surprise attack in the middle of the night, has finally come to an end.
The Japanese camp used this hard-fought victory to declare its own strength.
Not only has their own confidence been quite boosted, but also those barbarians no longer dare to despise the Dayue official army, and they who retreated into the city at this time may regret their decision to take the risk of attacking.
However, for the Vietnamese army, this victory is certainly worth celebrating, but the problems that exist should not be underestimated.
Therefore, when he returned to the barracks, Sun Ning only changed his clothes, and quickly called several important generals to his tent for a post-war meeting......
