The stalemate between the two sides was shorter than Lei Yuan expected.
Although both armies had gone through a long journey, there was no difference in physical strength...even the Wu army might be better. However, the sudden appearance of the Lei clan tribe in Lujiang brought a heavy psychological blow to Zhou Tai himself and his subordinates.
This is like the two hostile two people. One of them thought that the other party had no power to fight back, so they sometimes insulted, sometimes beaten up, jumped up and down, and were very proud. They didn't expect that the other party, who was originally silent, actually fought back... The fight back was extremely fierce. Within a few strokes, the fist of the casserole hit the tip of his nose. Although he didn't know if he would be beaten to death on the spot, his aura was so low that it was indescribable.
Not to mention that the Lujiang Lei family members all fought bravely and had a three-fold advantage in military strength.
So Lei Yuan, with his entourage and his troops, began to move forward amid the cheers of the entire army.
Lei Yuan was already a very experienced warrior. On this battlefield shrouded in a turbulent and bloody atmosphere, he always maintained a calm observation and judgment. He stared at the central military position where Zhou Tai was, and could see that the troops were getting weaker and weaker. This was because Zhou Tai kept drawing soldiers from the central military to fill the front line to maintain the front line. However, the troops on the front line were constantly damaged like the melting ice and snow in the scorching sun.
The Wu people were almost unable to withstand it. What he had to do now was to pound the fist that was aimed at Zhou Tai's nose and pound it down hard.
Lei Yuan did not hate Zhou Tai. He understood that the hostility between the two sides was due to the irreconcilable conflict between Xuande Gong and Wu Hou, and was not a personal grudge. But Lei Yuan had to deal with it as a personal grudge.
Zhou Tai must die!
At this time, Zhou Tai's team had less than 300 combat-ready troops left, and their troops were on the verge of exhaustion.
The shouts of killing are getting closer.
He wiped the rain on his face and continued to look down at the gentle slope. Wherever he saw, countless enemy soldiers wearing leather or iron armor, holding long and short weapons, were rushing towards the top of the gentle slope with the banners of "Guo", "Deng" and "Ding", like a tiger coming out of a thorn, and were closer to the top of the gentle slope at every moment.
Zhou Tai knew that those few banners represented several camp Simas in the Lei family. He always thought that those people were just local tyrants or thieves, and they must not be compared with the Tiger Ben of the Eastern Wu. Now he knew that he was wrong. Those people were excellent officers, and they were all first-class, regardless of battlefield command or their own courage.
Under the command of these officers, the Lei clans of Lujiang advanced along the body of the Wu army in blood. Looking down from where Zhou Tai was, it seemed as if the entire gentle slope was trembling and was about to collapse!
"General, Lei Yuan led his headquarters!" A subordinate said tremblingly: "The brothers in front cannot stand it!"
Zhou Tai nodded. This subordinate followed Zhou Tai for many years and had experienced many battles. Zhou Tai had not heard of him so nervous and panic for a long time.
In fact, everyone around them was panic, so they didn't notice that not only Lei Yuan's headquarters began to move forward, but the cavalry team that had originally surrounded the edge of the gentle slope also began to accelerate gradually.
This is the last blow to the Lei family.
If your own troops are insufficient, if you draw hands to the front, the impact of the cavalry on both sides will be unstoppable. If you draw hands to the sides... it will be meaningless. Once those cavalry teams start to attack, they will be as powerful as a scattered sea of ​​force, which is not something that a small number of infantry can bear.
The defeat has been decided.
Zhou Tai could feel that the soldiers around him were looking at him. They were filled with frustration in their sight, and they also hoped that they would lead them to victory as many times in the past. But this time there was nothing we could do.
He regretted it a little. Since the Battle of Chibi, Wu Hou's power has expanded greatly. He followed Zhou Lang, Huang Gongfu and others to expand his territory, and in the blink of an eye he captured several counties. During this round of expansion, he had almost never encountered any real obstacles. The so-called local tyrants in Jingnan could only kneel down and beg for mercy under the power of Wu Hou; and Xuande Duke... Xuande Duke was humble and polite most of the time, and had no intention of confrontation.
It can even be said that in every conflict with the subordinates of Xuande Gong, once we are tough, the other party will inevitably retreat. Perhaps because of this, I have become more and more accustomed to showing tough methods this year. Although the Lei family in Lujiang quickly controlled Lexiang a few months ago, I did not really pay attention to them, nor did I learn from the lessons of that failure.
The Lei family in Lujiang is a rebellious Haowu family in Huainan. Their style of conduct is very different from that of Xuande Gong's gentle and flexible way... Obviously, Xuande Gong put them in Lexiang to use the fierce methods of these people. However, he was still immersed in his inherent habits, which is the fundamental reason for the evil consequences today.
The result was a bit tragic, beyond my own expectations. The victory and victory results were over again and again, and the military career of more than ten years will come to an end.
Zhou Tai suddenly felt guilty. He was born in the Han family and was just a brave man. For many years, Wu Hou trusted himself, promoted himself, and constantly granted important tasks and power. But now, he wasted his life here, and even his subordinates... I let Wu Hou down!
Zhou Tai gritted his teeth and took a few steps forward.
He saw that the soldiers were still persevering in the array ahead. These were all real elite soldiers. They never knew what retreat was or what failure was. But in fact, they were just retreating, and the front was getting thinner and thinner.
"Kill Lei Yuan, kill him." Zhou Tai said.
"What?" the subordinates asked.
"If you continue to consume this, there will be no chance." He said in a deep voice: "Only by killing Lei Yuan can you win! We have to rush once!"
At this time, he no longer knew what to say to boost morale, but he looked around and saw his own guards surrounding him. Everyone held their weapons tightly and responded in unison as before: "Abide by the order!"
Zhou Tai turned around, looked at Lei Yuan, who was coldly under the big flag, and began to run.
A "whizz" sound flew past his face. This was the Lei team who discovered the team trying to counterattack and began to concentrate on shooting arrows. Zhou Tai raised the big sword in front of him, half bent over, and rushed forward quickly; behind him, muffled and screamed continuously.
"Continue to shoot!" Guo Jing said.
As the subordinate whom Lei Yuan trusted the most, Guo Jing has always assumed heavy responsibilities. The same is true when fighting on the battlefield. At this moment, he is responsible for the frontal offensive. On the one hand, he constantly smashes the Wu army's resistance like an iron hammer, and on the other hand, he can also flexibly mobilize troops to coordinate the attacks on the left and right wings.
This cavalry commander under King Chen, who was known for his bravery, is now in a stable command and gradually becomes a general. Even though Zhou Tai and his guards broke through the blockade of arrow rain at the cost of more than 20 casualties, they could not resist Zhou Tai's fierce assault and began to retreat, Guo was not panicked. He immediately mobilized his troops to attack from both sides, and his pace of advance did not stop.
