Chapter 274: Desperate Situation! Please take me home!
Xi shan.
From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside,
Trenches, watchtowers, corpses everywhere.
There are soldiers of the Southern Army and soldiers of the West Mountain, the corpses are piled up like mountains, and the blood is flowing like a river.
Relying on the fortifications built in advance, relying on the ultra-long range of the standard firecracker and the intensive shooting of the three-eyed god gun, the Xishan army has struggled to resist hundreds of attacks by the Ping'an army!
That's right, hundreds of attacks!
Everyone underestimated the determination to step on the West Mountain safely!
Wave after wave of attacks, swept in like a tide of madness, continuous, day and night.
The Xishan army has been completely defeated after a fierce battle so far.
Of the 5,000 ordinary soldiers, more than 3,000 were killed, but only more than 1,000 people remained.
Of the 3,000 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, more than half of them have been lost, and about 1,000 are still sticking to their posts.
Even the 3,000 militia escort team, just under the command of Su Yang, was doing auxiliary work for battlefield rescue and material delivery, and more than 1,000 people were taken away by the stray arrows and turned into cold corpses.
Tragic!
Incomparably tragic!
Even Su Yang himself didn't expect that Ping An would be a madman!
If you don't break the West Mountain, you won't give up!
Everyone saw the determination of peace, and because of it, they fell into despair!
Inside the last line of defense in Xishan, tens of thousands of people and workers gathered.
It's just that everyone's expressions are very numb at this moment, and an emotion called "despair" fills everyone's heart.
Su Yang sat on the ground with a pale face, feeling regret for the first time.
His luck was not very good, in the previous battle on the mountainside, Su Yang was directing the militia team to rescue the wounded soldiers, but a sharp arrow shot at him, straight to his chest, obviously wanting his life.
Even if he was wearing armor, Su Yang was pierced by this arrow, if it weren't for the fact that he turned sideways dangerously and dangerously, avoiding the vital point of his heart, I was afraid that he would be cold now.
Su Yang sat silently on the ground, with strips of cloth wrapped around his chest, and blood was faintly oozing from the strips.
Looking at the desperate look on the faces of the common workers, and looking at a disabled soldier, Su Yang didn't know whether he was right or wrong to do all this.
Xu Xiang and Jia Yi also walked over, both of them were physically and mentally exhausted, and they didn't care about any etiquette, and sat directly next to Su Yang.
"Xu Xiang, Jia Yi, did I do something wrong?"
Hearing his words, Xu Xiang and Jia Yi glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
If Su Yang loses confidence, then this Xishan army will really be over.
After all, he is still a young man, even if he is an immortal, he can't change this fact.
"Childe, you've done a good job."
Jia Yi spoke sincerely, his face fanatical.
Xu Xiang also smiled and said: "Childe, it's true that we have suffered heavy casualties, but the group of miscellaneous casualties of the Southern Army are even heavier!"
This is not a lie, but a real fact.
When Su Yang built the Xishan Fortress, he arranged a large number of defensive measures against the enemy.
From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, according to Su Yang's concept, one after another trench defense lines were dug step by step.
These trench defense lines, for the soldiers of Xishan, each is the hope of survival!
The soldiers of Xishan hid in the trenches, not only to avoid the enemy's arrow rain attack, but also to launch a counterattack.
At long distance, bows and arrows were used with standard firearms, and at close range, they were bombarded with three-eyed eyeballs, which brought a large number of casualties to the enemy.
Moreover, after the first trench was lost, the Xishan soldiers immediately retreated to the second trench to continue to hold on, and once they got the opportunity, they took back the lost trench.
In this way, the entire Xishan battlefield has become a positional war and a tug-of-war.
Where did the officers and men of the Southern Army experience such stubborn resistance, they were directly defeated.
Just to fight for the position at the foot of the mountain, the southern army sacrificed more than 10,000 soldiers, which can be enough to break through the position at the foot of the mountain!
This time because of the reduction of troops and the lack of ammunition, the soldiers of Xishan were evacuated again after a fierce battle, but they also left more than 8,000 people in the southern army!
The bloody battle of Xishan, the results of the Yan army, is undoubtedly extremely brilliant!
With 8,000 soldiers against 40,000 troops, instead of being defeated in the first battle, nearly 20,000 enemy troops were killed and wounded!
If you count the two Yan cavalry before, the Xishan Yan Army has already killed and injured 30,000 Yan troops!
What a glorious result?
Let's ask the generals of the world, who can do this?
The record is here, and no one can question Su Yang!
Xu Xiang changed his words and sighed: "Childe doesn't have to think about it, the horse leather shroud died on the battlefield, this is the fate of every soldier, and it is also their highest honor!"
"To be honest, let's become famous in a fight, haha, who mentions me in the future, you can't give us a thumbs up?"
"Even if the brothers die now, they will only die with a smile, and there is no regret!"
Su Yang still didn't say anything, he couldn't understand the thoughts of these ancients.
Human life is at stake, and it is not so despicable.
Jia Yi saw where Su Yang's heart knot was, so he smiled and said: "Childe, right and wrong, it's not just a matter of what one person says."
"If Childe is really restless, you might as well ask these soldiers, I believe Childe can get the answer."
Hearing this, Su Yang's eyes lit up, and he gradually regained some brilliance.
He got up and walked out, and Xu Xiang and Jia Yi also hurriedly followed.
The three of them came to the outside trench, where the last warriors of the West Mountain were stationed.
Wounded or unwounded, all the young men are here now, including the Xishan militia.
When they saw Su Yang for the first time, all the soldiers stopped what they were doing, and bowed to Su Yang feverishly.
"I've seen Childe!"
Su Yang waved his hand.
"Hurry up and eat to replenish your strength."
"I'm just coming to see you, leave me alone."
Su Yang walked into the trench, and his mood became more and more complicated.
He heard a suppressed cry, and followed it to a soldier.
No, this can't be called a soldier, because he is still a child, and he looks like he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is indeed just a child.
Fifteen or sixteen years old, at this age in the future, what are you still doing?
Reading and learning words at school?
Or is it a love affair at school?
Anyway, they won't be like the kid in front of them, rushing to the front line of the battlefield.
"Childe...... I...... I just ......"
When the child saw Su Yang, he immediately wanted to get up and salute in a panic, but as soon as he stood up, blood immediately gushed out of his abdomen.
Seeing this, Su Yang immediately held him down, then squatted down and helped him cover his wound hard, but the blood still gushed out from his fingers, staining the whole strip of cloth red.
Wounded, and seriously injured.
With the current level of medical care in Daming, this child ...... Can't live.
No, he is not a child, but a real soldier.
"It's okay, you bear with it a little longer, it'll be fine." Su Yang said with red eyes.
The soldier knew that he was hopeless, so he smiled at him miserably, and said a little weakly: "Childe, I ...... It's okay. ”
"If it weren't for Childe...... We're just afraid...... It's been dead for a long time. ”
Everything Su Yang did for Xishan was seen by everyone, so even if he died, they were not qualified to blame Su Yang.
On the other hand, if it weren't for Su Yang leading them to resist desperately, they might have died in the chaos long ago.
"Childe...... We...... Are there really reinforcements? ”
"Yes." Su Yang held back his tears and smiled, "There will definitely be, even if you don't believe me Su Yang, you have to believe His Royal Highness King Yan!" ”
The soldier smiled hard and said, "I believe it...... Son. ”
"Childe...... Please ...... one thing"
Su Yang nodded hurriedly: "You say, I will definitely do it."
"Childe, please...... Take me home...... Burial ......"
"Okay, where is your home, I'll send you back." Su Yang was filled with grief in his heart.
"My family...... It's ...... Xi shan...... ...... under your feet"
At the mention of Xishan, the soldier's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed, and he died of anger.
Su Yang looked at this soldier in a daze, and he didn't know when he burst into tears.
