Chapter 482: Fighting Eight
Xiao Huaizhong waited with hope for the battle to start with the enemy who were detouring and attacking the mountain ridge. However, in the middle of the night, he still only heard the howling of the mountain wind and no sound of gold and gold. Xiao Huaizhong knew in his heart that things were probably going to be bad.
In the early hours of the morning, soldiers from the former camp who had been attacked during the night attack returned to the army one after another. Less than three or four hundred of the one thousand soldiers returned. Some of the remaining soldiers were lost in the mountains and fields, and some simply did not come back. They were also used as cannon fodder when they came back.
, there is no way to run outside, and Xiao Huaizhong cannot be caught in the mountains. Those who return at this time are all mentally ill.
After Xiao Huaizhong asked about what happened, he couldn't help but curse loudly no matter how happy or angry he was. He thought Yelu Meng was really fierce. But in the end, he didn't even see the enemy and the battle didn't start, so he was the first
He was shot dead by the other party. He simply failed to live up to his expectations. What was even more annoying was that as soon as Yelumeng died, the thousand soldiers turned around and ran away without even resisting.
Xiao Zhengde and other generals stood in the tent with their heads lowered and did not dare to express their anger. They knew that if they said the wrong thing at this time, they would be in trouble. When Xiao Huaizhong was angry, he refused to recognize his relatives. When he was in Xijing, one of his children once
The concubine broke his beloved vase, and he beat her half to death with a cane himself. That was his concubine, and after serving him for many years, she was still no match for a vase.
However, Xiao Zhengde and others still underestimated Xiao Huaizhong's ability to find trouble. Xiao Huaizhong became angry when he saw everyone standing there with their heads down.
"Why don't you speak? Do you secretly despise me? Xiao Zhengde, you have criticized the plan proposed by me before. Now you must think that you are very smart, right?"
Xiao Zhengde hurriedly bowed and said: "How dare you, general? I am also very angry. The plan is so good, Yelv Meng is so disappointed. Otherwise, I would be willing to take others with me to go again."
"What the hell, they've already been prepared and ambushed there, so what's the point of going?" Xiao Huaizhong scolded.
Xiao Zhengde just said it casually, of course he knew that there was no point in going anymore.
"Marshal, don't be angry. According to the general, there are experts in the Song Dynasty's envoy. The combat strategy is very clever. Let's not think of other plans, just an honest and violent attack. The general suggests that there is no need tomorrow.
We should be stingy with supplies, mobilize all six of our cyclone cannons, and use sharpshooters to bombard him for another hour. After that, the general will personally lead the charge. Even if he dies, he will attack him. The general doesn't believe it, they are made of iron.
." Xiao Zhengde said in a deep voice.
Xiao Huaizhong pondered for a while and then said slowly: "I will do as you say. I will dispatch armored cavalry to charge tomorrow. Originally, I didn't want to use armored cavalry, but now I can only use it. Zhengde, you don't have to charge tomorrow, you are only responsible.
During the suppression bombing, take people to clear the ramp. There are too many corpses on the ramp, which is an obstacle to the charge. I want you to clean up all the corpses. There is no need to bring them back for burial. Just throw them directly into the snow valley. Innate destruction,
There’s no need to worry about this.”
Xiao Zhengde felt pity in his heart. Xiao Huaizhong was really a ruthless and cruel person. He didn't care about the corpses of the fallen soldiers and just threw them away. Those soldiers were really miserable. They died when they died. They couldn't even be buried in the ground. Throw them away.
In the snow valley, I am afraid that I will become the prey of wolves, bears, tigers and leopards, and not even the bones and dregs will be left.
"As you command!"
…
On the mountain ridge, in the dim light of the early morning, more than a dozen large trucks were being packed and the soldiers were gently carrying things onto the trucks.
Fang Zian made up his mind
Determined, he decided to evacuate immediately. He originally planned to hold on for one more day and block it for one day. But Fang Zian changed his mind. Xiao Huaizhong's behavior of sending people to detour and attack at night last night gave Fang Zian a warning, which showed that Xiao Huaizhong was very anxious to attack.
Take down the mountain ridge and defeat yourself. After last night's battle, Xiao Huaizhong must have been furious. Continuous defeats will make Xiao Huaizhong lose his mind and launch an attack desperately.
Fang Zian didn't want to fight Xiao Huaizhong here. There were too few people on his side, so he had to rely entirely on three-dimensional cross-fire to block the narrow mountain road to block the opponent's successive attacks. The Jin soldiers also showed their strength. What happened yesterday
The violent bombing has reminded Fang Zian. If yesterday's bombing lasted for half an hour or an hour, the casualties on our side would be unbearable. Yesterday, the bombing only lasted for one stick of incense. With preparations already made,
Dozens of brothers were killed or injured, many of whom were fire brigade soldiers.
Although it is normal for people to die on the battlefield, Fang Zian did not want them to take huge risks here because of his persistence. He also promised them that he hoped to bring them back to the Song Dynasty safely, so he took their lives
Taking risks is the only choice.
In this situation, the Jin soldiers' attack tomorrow will definitely be more fierce. Moreover, it is very likely that there will be no possibility of stopping. Therefore, now is the best time to evacuate. Once the opponent launches an attack, there will be no chance to evacuate.
If you evacuate by force, you will be chased and beaten, and then they will all be buried here.
Although Fang Zian is a person who likes frontal hard steel, he is not a fool or a person who does not know how to adapt. After careful consideration, he issued this order to everyone.
Everyone was surprised at first. Their morale was like a rainbow. The opponent was being calculated to death, but Mr. Fang wanted to evacuate. They didn’t know what he was thinking. However, they did not argue or even ask why. Because Fang Zian had completely let them know.
I am convinced that since Mr. Fang has made a decision, all you need to do is follow his orders. It must be the right decision.
Only Zhang Ruomei asked in a low voice: "Husband, I don't know if my brother and the others have enough preparation time. The people I sent back are still on the way, and my brother and the others don't know yet."
Fang Zian whispered: "Even if we stick to this place, we can only stay for one more day. All the Eight-Character Army needs is to mobilize personnel and materials to prepare for the battle. One more day or one less day is actually not important. The speed of Jin Bing's action
It's not fast. We will be behind for three to five days, which is enough. Besides, even if we evacuate, I will let them stay for half a day. But this half day is to prepare for ourselves to distance ourselves. We can set up more roadblocks on the way.
There are many ways to slow down their march. You don’t have to worry."
Zhang Ruomei nodded and said, "Okay, just listen to your husband."
Everyone started to pack the truck, but Zhao Gang received an order from Fang Zian, asking him to take 20 people and stay on the ridge. Fang Zian's order was that after dawn, Zhao Gang took the 20 brothers left behind and stayed on the mountain ridge.
Wandering on the mountain ridge fortifications, they must be seen by the other side. They can even yell and humiliate the Jin soldiers. The purpose of this is to make the Jin soldiers not know that their own troops have evacuated. They dare not rush up rashly, and will only return the favor.
Use the old method of shooting arrows and throwing stones to suppress them. Once they start bombarding them indiscriminately, Zhao Gang and others can quickly leave on horseback.
The purpose of this is to delay the opponent's time and give the evacuating team time to distance themselves. The second purpose is to waste the opponent's arrows and other materials. Then
The stones thrown by these cyclone cannons are all specially made. After they are hit, they break into pieces and cannot be recovered. It is impossible for the opponent to march with many of these stone bullets weighing a hundred kilograms. Each one is missing. Every time one is missing,
After that, fighting against the Eight-Character Army will be less of a threat.
Zhao Gang fully understood what Fang Zian meant and chose twenty soldiers with loud voices and good swearing skills to stay. Fang Zian left twenty horses for Zhao Gang and the others under the south slope of the mountain ridge, and then left them in the dim light of the early morning.
Among them, he led the convoy to leave quickly.
After dawn, the soldiers in the front camp of the Jin soldiers heard the loud shouts and curses from the enemy on the mountain ridge. Zhao Gang and the twenty remaining soldiers stood on the fortification wall and yelled and cursed, scolding the Jin soldiers for shrinking and not daring to attack.
Their commander was incompetent and his army of tens of thousands could not defeat a few hundred people. They used every word to be cruel and heartbreaking. In the end, they even unbuttoned their pants and took out their stuff to urinate on the golden soldiers at the foot of the mountain ridge.
When Xiao Huaizhong received the report, his face was ashen. He was determined to take down the mountain ridge today and cut these clowns into pieces. He immediately sent an order to mobilize all six cyclone cannons. During the erection and assembly of the cyclone cannon, the Chinese armor
The cavalry battalion also slowly arrived. The strong archers also arrived again. For a time, the narrow mountain road under the mountain ridge was crowded with elite Jin soldiers. This time Xiao Huaizhong was bound to win.
When the sun rose over the mountain col, the cyclone cannons were all assembled. Thousands of strong archers approached the slope. Following Xiao Huaizhong's order, the cyclone cannon was fired, and the strong archers began to fire arrows. When the stone bullets hit the ground, they splashed.
In the smoke and dust, Xiao Huaizhong saw the figures of the enemies who were yelling and cursing at the top of their lungs, and sneered at the corner of his mouth.
"Give me non-stop bombardment for an hour. I want them to know the consequences of offending me, Xiao Huaizhong."
This bombardment really made the sky above the mountain ridge darken. The cyclone cannon threw dozens of stone bullets, all of which hit the mountain ridge. The strong archers missed the quiver six times, and many people could not even draw the bow string in the end.
The strength was gone, and the whole arm was shaking. During this period, Xiao Zhengde and his men rushed up to clean up the hundreds of corpses on the ramp and cleared the ramp. Then, five hundred heavy armored cavalry appeared.
These five hundred armored cavalry are a small part of the 10,000 iron pagodas in Daijin. As a large army going out, if there are no iron pagodas accompanying the army, it will not stand out. Although it is really practical to carry these five hundred iron pagodas into the mountains.
It's a joke, but Xiao Huaizhong brought them here anyway, and he actually wanted to use them today. Before entering the mountain, Xiao Huaizhong never expected to use these heavy armored cavalry. It can be seen how angry Xiao Huaizhong was and how much he hoped to win this battle.
The battle should have ended long ago.
The armor shone in the sun, and the heavy armored cavalry, all wrapped in iron armor, began to charge up the slope. Their speed was not fast, in fact they couldn't get up fast. They couldn't get up fast on flat ground, let alone
It's uphill. However, when the armored cavalry rushes, it immediately gives people an overwhelming momentum and feeling, making people feel that everything in front will be crushed.
The armored cavalry did it. They rushed directly to the ridge in full view of everyone. The Jin soldiers who were waiting for the opponent's attack were dumbfounded. There was no counterattack at all, and there was no battle. The armored cavalry just rushed into the ridge.
in the smoke and dust.
Xiao Huaizhong suddenly had an ominous premonition. He was worried that he would be ambushed by the other party again. He thought that the other party must have prepared vicious means. So he gave a loud order.
Chapter completed!
