Chapter 193: Bloody Battle in the Canyon

In the Later Song Dynasty, after that conversation, Yuan Mowei ordered the expulsion of the former Shu envoys and the Qi envoys, and sent the general Wei Song to personally lead 50,000 Song troops to camp on the Song and Shu borders.

Acting like this means that the Later Song Dynasty has a clear attitude and vows to live and die with the Ye State.

At the same time, in the gorge of the former Shuhe Hebei County, the Liantian Camp of the Northwest Army had been besieged by nearly 50,000 Qi troops for more than three days.

The Northwest Army has never slackened off a large amount of grain and grass, and will only carry three days' worth of dry rations at most, but now that three days have passed, many soldiers have eaten up dry rations.

If they can't break through, then they will have to fight hungry next.

In the past three days, the Qi army also rushed into the valley countless times, but it was useless, the arrow array of the northwest army was sharp, and often before the Qi army rushed to the front, the army formation responsible for the charge would be killed and wounded, and had to withdraw to rest.

After failing to make progress in the assault for one day, Dong Haoyu directly ordered the whole army not to attack, but to block the mountain pass and build fortifications in the mountain pass.

Dong Haoyu also understood that since he couldn't attack it, he would trap this Northwest Army alive inside.

The current situation is that the Qi side cannot break through to the valley, and even the Tianying cannot break through from it.

At this time, the canyon can be described as a river of blood, the corpses of the Qi army that have not been cleaned up at the mountain pass are stacked on top of each other, and the blood has long been gathered into a river, flowing to the low-lying places, and the arrows cover almost the entire ground, and there is no place to put your feet in many places.

After these three days of fighting, even the soldiers of the Heavenly Camp have become numb.

Some of the soldiers dragged their tired bodies to the places where the arrows of the Qi army could not reach, and gathered the arrows scattered everywhere.

Now that they are isolated and have no resources to squander, they can inflict one more kill on the enemy by gathering one more arrow.

Chu Haojie and several thousand commanders gathered in the canyon to discuss countermeasures.

Chu Haojie scribbled a map on the ground,Said:"Now most of the soldiers in the army have no food and drink,Now for us,It's an extremely critical period,It's a challenge for each of us,Now the Qi army has begun to build fortifications,The purpose is to trap our army completely in this canyon,So our army must break through here before the enemy's fortifications are built,Otherwise, when the time comes, Chu Hou comes,It can only help us collect the corpse。 ”

One of the commanders said in a shocking voice: "I have long had enough of this bird's anger, if the general wants to break through, my army is willing to be the vanguard." ”

Chu Haojie nodded,Said:"In our Northwest Army,Every soldier is good,I'll go and collect food and water for a while,To ensure that everyone can eat,Only by eating can you have the strength to fight,Now the order goes down,The whole army rests for an hour,After an hour,The whole army breaks through,This breakthrough will be a breakthrough at any cost,Everyone listen to me,One drum is like a tiger,Then decline,Three and exhaustion,Even if you die on the way to the charge,You can't go back once,Do you understand?"

"Understand ......"

Everyone said yes in unison, and immediately went down to prepare.

An hour later, the Liantian battalion, which was trapped in the canyon, regrouped, and the whole army began to march towards the valley mouth.

This time, the defending side changed from the Liantian camp at the beginning to the Qi army.

The scene that happened to the Qi army before also began to be staged on the side of the Northwest Army.

Nearly a thousand horsemen, when they rushed to the front of the enemy's army, there were less than 500 people left, and you could see the ownerless war horses everywhere, and you could see the war horses that were shot into hedgehogs everywhere.

At this point in the war, the soldiers of the Liantian camp were numb, and the soldiers of the Qi army were even more so, and at the beginning, the archers of the Qi army would deliberately aim and shoot arrows.

This time,Chu Haojie's order is to break through at any cost,Liantian Battalion's cavalry fell one row after another。

In such a war, even if he is not directly shot by the opponent's arrows, as long as he falls, there is no possibility of getting up again, because as long as he falls, his own comrades who follow him will step on his body.

Later, the archers of the Qi army simply drew their arrows and shot them out, and people were almost reluctant to look into the valley, where the scene could already be described as hell on earth at this time.

However, the war had only just begun, and soon even the arrow array on the Tianying side began to rise from the cavalry camp and fell into the military formation of the Qi army.

It's a war of swaps, you kill me, I kill you.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the number of dead on both sides had exceeded two thousand, and not a single one of them had left the battlefield, and none of them had turned around and fled.

Whether it is this Qi army or this Tianying army, they have all shown extremely strong war resilience.

At this time, whether it is the Qi army's side or even the Tianying side, they are all red-eyed at this moment, and they are all hateful.

At the urging of the commander, the people stepped on the corpses of their comrades and charged forward numbly, but the speed was noticeably slower.

Because the ground was so slippery at this time, it was either a pile of corpses or a muddy ground soaked in blood.

The Qi army was also in full swing, and the archers of the Qi army put up their bows and arrows and fired a salvo at the charging Liantian camp.

At the same time as they shot the arrows, even the arrow array of the Heavenly Camp arrived, and suddenly there was a muffled sound of blades breaking through armor and the screams of the soldiers in the middle of the two camps.

However, now, Lian Tianying has rushed to a close enough distance, and in terms of archery, Lian Tianying, who has been fighting against the desert barbarians all year round, is obviously much more powerful than the Qi army.

Thousands of Liantian Battalion cavalry fired arrows at each other as they charged forward, and the Qi army suffered far more casualties than Liantian Battalion.

In an instant, Lian Tianying was more than 100 steps closer to the position of the Qi army.

It's just that these are bought with blood and life.

On the side of Liantianying, a centurion watched his brothers fall to the ground one after another, and almost crawled to the front of the commander, and pleaded: "General, withdraw, the enemy army is waiting for work, and they are all foot soldiers, our army is all cavalry, and now the terrain here is no longer suitable for cavalry combat, the general quickly withdraws." ”

"You don't fart. ”

The commander grabbed the armor of the commander and shouted: "If you can't rush over, you have to rush for me, and if you die, you will die on the way to charge, and the one who dies is called a martyr, and if you withdraw, you are a deserter, if you want to escape, Lao Tzu will be the first to kill you." ”

At this moment, an arrow flew over and hit the centurion in the back of the heart, only to hear a pop, and the blood-stained arrow poked out of the chest of the centurion......

The centurion was still carrying the centurion's armor, but his body had softened, his pupils began to dilate, and he grabbed the commander's arm tightly, and his mouth opened and closed: "General...... To the brothers...... A way to live...... ......."
