Chapter 256: The Battle to the Death (Part II)

The West Causeway, a half-day bloody battle, is now full of wolf smoke, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Although the Chen army had more than 10,000 strong soldiers and more dangerous villages, the construction had not yet been completed, and the defense itself was in trouble, and there was no resistance under Lu Teng's sudden attack.

After Xiao Maha obtained the military order of Zhang Zhaoda, he led an army to guard the west embankment, and Sun Jin of the ferry port was the horn of each other, and while protecting the west embankment and maintaining the baggage transportation on the back road, he had already set up a defense system with a flat extension of the fence and a ditch along both sides of the avenue.

Xiao Maha is not a reckless man who only knows how to rampage, so Zhang Zhaoda relieved himself to give him the task of guarding against Xidi.

But as large quantities of tooth ships carrying heavy loads of goods were gathered on the west and north shores, the space became less and less available until it was beyond the original defenses. Before Xiao Maha could make adjustments, the Chen army, who was responsible for guarding them, had to move to the horizontal sides of the embankment, and the troops were naturally loosened, and at this time, the new defense system was too late to be constructed, and the Zhou and Liang coalition forces had already launched a fierce attack on Xiao Maha with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses!

Xiao Maha's troops had to rely on the terrain to fight, and because the troops were relatively weak and loose, the lethality to the Zhou and Liang armies was extremely limited for a time. Several of the battalions of the company battalion had already been declared lost, and in case the Zhou and Liang armies attacked, no one knew which direction they might come, and then continued to retreat while continuing to shrink their forces.

The enemy's attack must not be blind, Lu Teng's character is fierce but cautious, and he must have made detailed arrangements before attacking the Chen army, and the situation presented in front of Xiao Maha - the three-way soldiers and horses slowly contracted the encirclement from different directions, and the entire west embankment was already in Lu Teng's palm!

If you only need to consider the situation of the Liang army of the enemy and us, with the courage of Xiao Maha, you may not dare to break the cauldron and fight to the death, but this is not the case. In addition to thousands of Chen troops on the west embankment, there are tens of thousands of people, the west embankment is a big project, the camp to be built, the investment of the people is indispensable. After the defeat of the Chen army, there was already a great chaos on the Minfu side, and countless people were expelled by the Zhou and Liang armies and rushed to this side.

A tidal wave overwhelmed Chen Jun's vision......

All kinds of baggage carts and horses, as well as nearly 10,000 people, pushing, pushing, pushing, crowding, and trampling. At this time, they no longer had half a point of order to speak of, only knowing that the enemy's sword soldiers were behind them, and they rushed towards Xiao Maha's last camp regardless of it.

In the midst of the chaos, even if Chen Jun wanted to dispatch reinforcements and expel the people, it became extremely difficult! The voices of the people were noisy, the orders were incomprehensible, and the generals could only rely on the guards to convey the orders, and the camp fell into chaos. Xiao Maha only divided a small amount of troops to gather the people, on the one hand, he pressed the front line forward, and faced the enemy's troops head-on. If he has the opportunity, he may not be able to smash the pot and burn the village, and fight against the water!

The combined forces of Zhou and Liang did not appear to be chaotic as Xiao Maha hoped to see, on the contrary, they showed extremely strict order, and they could still maintain the order of attack without disorder in the chaotic battle. The cavalry retreated, guarding the rear road, the heavy armor sword and axe hands, sword and shield hands were stubborn, one after the other, regardless of casualties, no matter the formation, no matter how much it cost, they must rush into the defense of the Chen army and destroy the Xidi company camp!

Such a crazy impact made Chen Jun's originally steady shooting and resistance crushed by force! In front of them, everything seemed to have become a scene of the end of the world, under the gate of the wall, full of feathered arrows, piled with dead corpses, the corpses of the people, the enemy, the corpses of our army, the highest place was stacked more than half a person high, the blood of the dead men and dead horses, dyed the earth red, gathered into a dark red stream......

More than 10,000 soldiers who are not afraid of death charge at the same time, which is terrifying, and this scene in front of you is the most intuitive embodiment!

The bones of countless people paved a road to the last line of defense of the Chen army. The armor soldiers who continued to pour in later, directly ignored the bows and arrows fired by Chen Jun, and rushed into the panicked people of the brigade, throwing fire-starting objects everywhere, slashing and killing everywhere.

The people were originally nervous and reluctant to stay behind the weak array on the front line of the Chen army. When the enemy soldiers broke in, the men and horses were all blood-red, wantonly slashed, severed limbs and stumps all over the ground, and the people immediately collapsed, shouting and running aimlessly on the battlefield.

The people who ran around impulsively impulsed Chen Jun's array, who was still insisting. Some of Chen Jun also dropped their swords and fled. Many archers who adjusted their bed crossbows also turned around and fled to the east at this time, and the bank of the river had become a Shura field, and the cavalry teams on both sides of the Zhou army saw the collapse of Chen's camp, and then Lu Teng sent an order, "Gather these people and expel them to the Chen army!" ”

More than 1,000 cavalry and armor soldiers were divided into two roads, one way to chase the rout, all the way to the northeast to outflank the past, the more than 10,000 rout troops, Minzhuang expelled to the side of the Zhou army, in the process, I don't know how many people died tragically under the horse's hooves!

Almost half of the materials and people mobilized for the Northern Expedition were buried here! In the smoke, Xiao Maha stood on a high place, his face was already blank, this place has not been lost, but it is only a matter of time or time, there are only hundreds of soldiers left around him, and they are still following him to resist desperately. The enemy's horses galloped not far below, and these people rushed left and right, without discipline, only about destroying and destroying, only about creating more chaos and burning more military assets! Few people pay attention to this.

The Xidi camp has been destroyed, this place has no meaning at all, the meaning of the existence of the Xidi company camp is to break the embankment, and now all the facilities have been destroyed, even if Chen Jun still exists, what can he do?

Xiao Maha has been standing on it in a daze, like a sculpture, watching this frenzied tide destroy everything around him, watching several pontoon bridges burn and fall......

On the battlefield, there was a lot of mourning, and the bloody battlefield was fertile, and he did not support it until the moment when the reinforcements arrived.

This battle is a great humiliation for someone Xiao's life! Xiao Maha looked up and sighed, this good man who couldn't blink an eye in the midst of the army now had a few tears in his eyes: "The West Causeway has fallen, a certain crime is also, a certain general has the trust, and now that he has failed so much, how can he go back to see the general?" After speaking, he was about to draw a knife and kill himself, but was quickly stopped by the guards.

"Generals, don't, keep a useful body, and only then will you be able to atone for your sins in the future!" , "A gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late......"

It's easy to say that this is how Xiao Maha was persuaded to die. Xiao Maha was still worried, "The West Causeway has fallen, Lu Teng will inevitably turn around and attack the Chinese army camp, most of the Chinese soldiers and horses will be dispatched, and the general is seriously ill again......" The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, pacing back and forth, "How is this good, how is this good!?" ”

Chen Junzhongjun, above the watchtower, Zhang Zhaoda also received the news of the fall of the West Embankment, and the atmosphere suddenly seemed to freeze. Zhang Zhaoda stepped over step by step, the huge coercion almost made the sentinel of the herald unstable, Zhang Zhaoda didn't say anything, and patted him on the shoulder: "The old man already knows, you go down to rest first......"

When he turned around, he sat back down, and the light hit the side of his face, and the hollow eye socket was black and dark, bottomless, and made people fear from the bottom of their hearts.

"Lu Teng, if you want to seek death, the old man will fulfill you! cough cough ......"

Zhang Zhaoda was angry, coughed violently, his face turned red, and he started to shoot the case.

"Summons! Ordered Fan Yi to return to the army, Cheng Wenji led more than 10,000 troops to attack the western front, and Sun Jin came to the aid to exterminate Lu Teng! If you don't cut this fang, you won't give up! ”

Gao Lin and Xiao Cong faced Fan Yi's military might, although they had an advantage in numbers, they were no match in the end, and the formation of the army began to be torn apart after a long battle, and the army had a tendency to collapse. Just when they were in despair, Fan Yi suddenly retreated, gathered all the soldiers and horses to return to the Chinese army, and then, the sound of the generals and drums came from the camp of Chen Guozhong's army, and Xiao Cong's face was shocked: "What is Chen Guo going to do?" ”

Gao Lin stroked his gray beard and said, "It is estimated that the general has succeeded, and Chen Guo wants to gather soldiers and horses to find the general to fight to the death." ”

"Then we're going to support ......"

Gao Lin shook his head, "No need, our family is almost empty in this battle, and Jiangling is weak...... At this time, Zhang Zhaoda should also react, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not fight Jiangling, our little force can't help, we still retreat to the city and wait and see. ”

……………………

A big battle had just stopped, and a general behind Lu Teng couldn't help but whisper: "General, the west embankment has been broken, do you want the sons and daughters to rest?" In one day, we killed 3,000 enemies and lost 800 ourselves, and that's all we have. It's getting late, so let's attack again tomorrow,"

Lu Teng turned his head and looked at him coldly: "These tens of thousands of sons, will the sharpness be exhausted?" ”

His tone was cold, and the generals around him didn't dare to answer.

Lu Teng snorted coldly and turned his head, his complexion was like iron, and his voice was sonorous:

"Now we are almost exhausted, and in the corner of Gangneung, our military resources will be exhausted. How can we defeat the enemy, but by virtue of this indomitable spirit! If you don't take advantage of this sharp spirit to destroy Zhang Duyan's rat generation, do you wait for Chen Guo's army to come over?

"As long as we defeat Zhang Zhaoda and the army of Chen Guo's Northern Expedition in the front, the whole army will be terrified! Liang...... Gangneung, there will be a glimmer of life! ”

He raised his hand and pointed sharply to the east:

"We are in full swing, and we want to completely defeat Zhang Zhaoda while maintaining this momentum!"
