Yang Mao was determined to capture the east wall, so after the three towns in front surged up, he immediately sent out the second echelon of reinforcements.
This support army is Yang Mao's own soldiers, that is, his two thousand Taishan veterans.
Jin Xuan, who was twenty-two years old at the time, was already a veteran of the army for three years, and now he was one of the four generals under Yang Mao. The other three generals were Zhang Heizi, Lou Zhong, and Mou Zong.
He is an old man from Taishan Army.
At this time, Jin Falcon was wearing a basin-collared armor, with a majestic appearance and majestic hair. How could he still be the same as the former Guizhou leader?
This is the first battle that Jin Falcon and his troops enter Hebei, and it is a battle that proves the glory of their children from the old Taishan area. They want to tell those children from other states that we, the children of Taishan, are still the roots of the Taishan Army.
Previously, during the battle at Dingting, he, Zhang Heizi, Lou Zhong, and Mou Zong were all left in the wall as a reserve team and never had the chance to go out and prove themselves.
And now?
Golden Falcon stepped on the wet mud, held up a flag, and stared at the location of Yang Mao's Chinese army behind him.
Suddenly he saw a golden camp flag rising in the sky over there, and a green flag rising again. Golden Falcon shouted:
"The Chinese army has issued an order, answer the flag."
Then Jin Falcon and another strongman waved the flag together to respond to the Chinese army.
After doing this, Jin Falcon shouted:
"It's time for us to take the stage. Let us from Taishan Old Camp teach these children of the Fifth Army how to fight in this mountain battle."
The Taishan warriors shouted:
"call!"
Afterwards, Jin Falcon personally led the team and rushed forward with his five hundred armored soldiers.
Yang Mao's two thousand old Taishan soldiers are completely different from the garrison troops under his command. They are truly elite. Many of his officers and personnel can even be traced back to the Wangzhou Peak period, making them an out-and-out veteran army.
Whether in terms of fighting will and skills or armor coverage, they are considered to be some of the most elite battalions among the five field armies.
It is precisely because of the existence of these elite soldiers that the Luyimeng area of Mount Tai has always been stable. Even Sima He of Qi State did not dare to invade easily. They are the real pillar soldiers.
Now, as the Marshal of the Left Army moved south to Fenggao to take over the military affairs in the south, this elite Taishan old battalion could finally make its name in Hebei.
The whole battalion of five hundred armored soldiers lined up in a column of ten men and fifty rows, and trotted up the slope under the cover of the marquee soldiers in front.
On the right side of the Jin Falcon Camp is another elite Taishan force, the Lou Zhong Camp.
Their troops also deployed in a single column and climbed the slopes at roughly the same frequency as the Golden Falcon Division.
Jin Falcon, who was located at the far right corner of the column, was originally going to capture the east wall, but suddenly he discovered densely packed Han soldiers rushing down from the north slope. He immediately realized that the enemy was counterattacking.
Jin Falcon didn't waste time to ask Yang Mao at the rear, and directly ordered to kill the Han soldiers coming from the north. On the right, Lou Zhong also made the same choice as Jin Falcon.
This is the Taishan people’s courage and perseverance, and their courage in narrow roads.
On the opposite side, coming from the north were Zhou Zhong's 1,500 soldiers and Gongsun Zan's 2,000 soldiers supporting them.
These two thousand soldiers were nicknamed mules in the Youzhou Army. It was obviously meant to praise the toughness of this unit, but in fact it was full of ridicule. Because these two units were both disciples from Zhuo County and Guangyang County and formed an army.
A true two-legged mule.
Among the eleven counties in Youzhou, the ones that really have the foundation of large estates are Zhuojun and Guangyang in the inner counties. The livestock here is developed, the farming is dense, and the economy and population are the core areas of Youzhou.
After the two thousand people followed the orders of the Chinese army to move south, they set off without saying a word.
Then he bumped into an old soldier from Taishan who came to support him outside the east wall.
Because the two thousand Han soldiers were on a higher slope, they had a certain advantage in shooting range. They were the first to fire the first round of arrows.
But this round of arrows had almost no effect, and instead made the veterans and military officials in the two battalions frightened.
Why?
Because they found that the Taishan troops coming up from the opposite side did not even move their heads under the rain of arrows.
Under normal circumstances, when arrows whizzed through the heads of soldiers, people would subconsciously shrink their heads and lower their bodies. Even though military orders strictly require soldiers in the military formation not to mess up under any circumstances, most people don't.
Still can't overcome the instinct to avoid.
But what about the Taishan Army on the opposite side? It was as if the arrow did not exist. Only the brim of the flying saucer helmet was used to block the stray arrow. The rest of the situation was without any confusion.
This is an elite soldier who can withstand damage under the rain of arrows and remain unmoved.
Jin Falcon did not make a fuss about the Han soldiers and generals opposite him. He led his five hundred armored soldiers to bypass the Weijun soldiers who were still fighting, and then slanted into the front line of the Han soldiers.
While running, the soldiers of the army began to scatter, but they still cooperated in small formations of five. The Han soldiers were also in a hurry to support them, and they had no time to form a formation before they were killed by Jin Falcon's troops.
The most elite infantrymen in the world belong to the mountainous areas of Mount Tai and Danyang, because the men in these areas are quick and good at walking, and are the first-class young men to walk well.
The armored soldiers are not bad at defense, but their only drawback is their slow speed. Therefore, if you can build an armored army by walking vigorously in the mountains, you can become a first-class strong army.
This is the case with Jin Falcon. In a chaotic battle, his troops don't look like armored soldiers. They run even faster than the unarmored targets of the Han soldiers on the opposite side. How do you think this can be fought?
In less than a moment, the Han army's battalion, which had twice the number of Jin Falcon troops, was defeated.
The retreating Han soldiers fled frantically toward the dense forest on the right. They were afraid of the military law from behind and were unable to defeat the Taishan Army's front. They could only hope to survive in the dense forest.
Golden Falcon watched his subordinates chasing each other northward, and howled proudly:
"I, a descendant of Mount Tai, are mighty!"
But before he finished speaking, hundreds of cavalry suddenly surged out from behind a group of enemy troops. They held their horses straight and charged directly towards the scattered Taishan infantry soldiers.
Golden Falcon was all sweaty and heartbroken:
"Formation! Formation!"
But it was too late. The Han cavalry, which had already completed all acceleration, led by general Zhou Zhong, rolled over the Taishan Army's formation like a tsunami.
Those soldiers who weighed two hundred kilograms were completely out of sight in front of these galloping horses. They were knocked to the ground one after another, and then trampled mercilessly by the horses.
Because they were protected by iron armor, it was not obvious from the outside, but in fact, the chests of these soldiers had been trampled and burst.
This cannot be blamed on Jin Falcon. He did not expect that the leader of the Han army on the opposite side would be so ruthless and would actually use a thousand-man battalion as bait to set up a trap.
And Zhou Zhong's timing in choosing the cavalry battle was superb. The entire cavalry group completed the sprint from behind, and by the time Golden Falcon saw it, they had already rushed in front of him.
At this time, everyone still remembers that Zhou Zhongzhen's position is Yueqi Xiaowei, and he is a real expert in cavalry warfare in the Northern Army of the Han Army.
The two centurions were soon submerged in the wave of Han cavalry. Jin Falcon was unable to stop them and could only form a loose front from one side in a hurry.
But Jin Falcon failed to stop the Han army's Yueqi camp, which caused a lot of trouble for the Weijun soldiers outside the east wall.
Han Hao and Wei Zhong were the first to seize the battle, and the two town soldiers were already involved in the east wall. However, because the Han army resisted so tenaciously, they could not take it down for a while.
This son of Zhou Zhong is really a tiger.
Some people are very ordinary. Even if they are in the princely class and have far more opportunities than ordinary people, they will still be overshadowed by their contemporaries, so that history has forgotten their existence.
But at this moment, on the battlefield of Zhongrenting, his presence overshadowed all the heroes. He proved his existence with his tenacity and perseverance.
After the east corner of the east wall fell, Zhou Zhong asked the crossbowmen to draw their swords and fight Han Hao and others on the wall first. At the same time, Zhao Wei, who had retreated from the dense forest, also led the remaining thousands of people from the north avenue of the east wall.
Entered the wall and fought side by side with Zhou Hui's tribe.
So Han Hao and Wei Zhong fought in a stalemate.
But at this moment, their position outside the wall was overrun by the Yueqi battalion led by Zhou Zhong, directly cutting off the communication lines from outside the wall to the inside.
For a time, Han Hao and Wei Zhong were in trouble internally and externally.
At this time, Han Hao danced the iron rod in his hand tightly. His eyes were covered with sweat and it was sore and burning, but he had no time to wipe it off.
Hearing the sounds of fighting behind the wall, Han Hao screamed sadly:
"Is our old Han going to die here?"
Thinking of this, he once again raised his strength and smashed the iron bucket in his hand to smash the opponent's weapon. But when he was about to smash the head of the opposite Han general, he found that the iron bucket could not be lifted no matter what.
.
Han Hao raised his head sadly, watching the face on the opposite side change from frightened to ferocious, and said with a wry smile:
"Grandson, Mr. Nai is waiting for you below."
After saying that, the opponent slashed Han Hao's neck with a knife.
"when!"
There was a loud sound of gold and iron, which also brought Han Hao back from the edge of death.
Wei Zhong, who was indeed covered in blood, held a knife and collided with the Han general opposite him. With just a few blows, the man opposite him died in Wei Zhong's hands.
After Wei Zhong finished killing the people, he did not continue to pursue him. He turned around and carried Han Hao on his back and retreated to the corner. Then he panted and scolded the blushing Han Hao:
"On your first day on the battlefield, what kind of iron or knife did you use? How neat you were at hitting people before, and how quickly you ran out of energy. If you don't have enough energy, wouldn't you just die on the battlefield?"
Han Hao's face was still red, and he lowered his head and listened to Wei Zhong's scolding. But Wei Zhong's meanness didn't stop, and he mocked:
"Don't you look at your own strength? Captain Xu Huang and Captain Dian Wei both have heavy troops, so do you? What kind of force do they use, but you use force? Losing your life is a small thing, but it is also embarrassing. When I build a monument for you later, you should
What are you writing, saying that you were hacked to death for not doing anything?"
Afterwards, both generals stopped talking, leaving only heavy breathing.
In fact, both of them knew that at this point, their chances of survival were low. Originally, there were probably more than 200 soldiers who followed them into the east wall, but now there are only more than 50 soldiers left.
Form a circular formation around the second general to make the final resistance.
More and more Han soldiers surrounded them, and the soldiers of the Taishan Army fought shoulder to shoulder and face to face.
The crowd became more and more crowded, and there was no place for Han Hao to stretch his feet.
At this time, Wei Zhong handed the Huanshou knife to Han Hao and said seriously for once:
"Let's fight for the last time, but it's a pity that I haven't thought about the inscription yet. I'm really unwilling. By the way, Old Han, you are really unlucky. You know, I had to introduce this girl to you.
.It’s a pity that you are not lucky and have to die here with us.”
Han Hao smiled, took the ring-shou knife that was greasy with blood, wrapped it with a piece of cloth, and said boldly:
"Old Wei, you are wrong. I have been told since I was a child that I am a lucky person. It seems that our girl will still fall into the hands of our old Han. Haha."
After saying that, Han Hao rushed to the front line, and Wei Zhong also opened his bow and arrow and fired at the Han soldiers outside.
This bow had been abandoned by the Han army's crossbowmen, and it was still warm. After Wei Zhong picked it up, he shot four arrows together, capable of killing three people, and kept the last one for his dignity.
Take a deep breath, aim, one arrow. Shake, draw the arrow, another arrow, and then another.
Time slowed down as Wei Zhong breathed, and in the blink of an eye three Han warriors died under his bow.
After touching the last arrow stuck on the ground, Wei Zhong's hand shook for the first time and he failed to grab it. When he grabbed the arrow again, Wei Zhong glanced at Han Hao, who was already among the enemies, and said with shame:
"Old Han, we're scared. It's always easier to die by yourself. I'm sorry. Don't laugh at us, Old Wei."
After saying that, Wei Zhong turned the arrow upside down and aimed at his own throat.
At exactly this time, a commotion came from the nearby wall door.
Just heard a loud shout:
"Xu Huang, a certain family, breaks this wall!"
Then an unusually majestic armored man was seen coming out of the broken wall door with a giant ax in his hand. Behind him, countless armored soldiers jumped into the wall from both sides and charged into the horrified Han army.
The offensive and defensive dynamics are different.
Wei Zhong burst into tears. He silently folded the arrow in his hand and hid it in his arms, and then shouted:
"Wei Zhong, Wei Commandery, break this wall."
Then from the surging crowd in front, a voice broke out:
"Hanoi Han Hao, break this wall."
More people chanted their names, and their morale suddenly reached its peak.
In contrast, Zhao Wei, who had been hiding at the north gate, sighed, "What can I do?", then hid his face and withdrew from the north gate.
Zhou Hui, who was commanding the Han soldiers to encircle and annihilate Han Hao, looked at the incoming Taishan Army soldiers with a pale face. He looked absently in the direction of Luzhou in the south, where his brother Zhou Yu was, and he murmured:
"Brother Yu, I really tried my best, don't blame me."
After saying this, he pulled out his sword and killed himself.
And Zhou Hui didn't know that he was not alone on the way to Huangquan. In addition to his old troops, the head of his father, Yueqi Colonel Zhou Zhong, was hanging on the belt of Xu Huang, the leader of the Flying Tiger Army.
The drama of war lies in the inadvertent change between prey and hunter. When Zhou Zhong used the Thousand Infantry Camp as bait to make a beautiful volley, he also became the prey of Xu Huang, who had been lurking.
When Zhou Zhong was cutting off the military lines between Hanoi and Weijun towns, Xu Huang led the Flying Tiger Army to attack at a galloping speed, and cut off Zhou Zhong's head with just one wrong horse, and then broke the wall with his giant axe.
Saving friendly troops from danger is truly a hero.
In short, in the end, both father and son of the Lujiang Zhou family died in the pavilion on August 11th, the first year of Taiwu.
