Chapter 3695: Rescue from desperate situation arrives
Shen Linzi laughed loudly and said: "Third brother, we brothers can fight side by side today. If we all die here, our journey in this world will not be in vain. Our death in battle is enough to wash away the shame of being thieves in the past!" "
Shen Tianzi gritted his teeth, grabbed Shen Linzi's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Linzi, don't say such things, it's not the end yet, everything has a chance, the commander-in-chief will not leave us alone, Brother Ashao Let us fight on our own, just to delay as much time as possible until the reinforcements arrive!"
Shen Linzi murmured to himself: "Can it really be delayed until then? What if..."
Shen Tianzi said sternly: "Nothing is wrong, Lin Zi, we are the soldiers of Brother Jinu, the invincible Beifu Army. We have repelled three attacks of the enemy cavalry, and we will definitely be able to repulse the next one, and the next one." , hold on tight and don’t think about other things!”
Shen Linzi nodded vigorously: "Yes, the flag is still there, and hope is still there. Third brother, look at Brother Ah Shao's handsome flag, it is still there..."
As he spoke, he pointed to the high-flying flag with the word "tan" in the direction of the Chinese army, more than a hundred steps away. However, following his finger, suddenly, more than ten long spike arrows shot past the flagpole. The rope above broke in response to the arrow, and the big blue flag fell down all of a sudden. Shen Linzi's smile froze on his face, and he could no longer speak, while the sound of iron hooves from all directions sounded. People all over the place poured into the central phalanx, which began to become chaotic because the commander's flag fell to the ground!
Tan Shao was standing in the middle of the central square formation. This was a temporary high platform that was temporarily built on three chariots. It was only a little over ten feet in diameter. It was about a little over ten feet above the ground. A tall flagpole was just like that. Standing in the center, at this moment, the handsome flag with the word "tan" fell to the ground on one side. Three or four guards were busy holding the rope, trying to raise the flag again. , after all, the handsome flag is related to the morale and hope of the entire army.
Within a radius of fifty steps, the last thousand or so heavily armored warriors of the Chinese army were desperately guarding the last line of defense. In the surrounding smoke and dust, countless armored cavalry were making a full-scale assault. From time to time, there were foreign troops. The warriors in the circle were thrown into the air by the powerful impact and fell into the formation. However, as long as they could stand up on their own, they would struggle to run towards the front again.
The more than two hundred archers in the formation, following the orders of their respective captains, kept shooting arrows in the direction of the attack to support them. Outside the formation, the arrows shot by the enemy cavalry fell like raindrops. In the central open space, almost every arrow would knock down one or two archers. The guards holding wooden shields waved their shields desperately to resist the enemy arrows falling like raindrops. Provide cover as much as possible.
Curses, shouts of death, and screams, accompanied by the roars of the barbarian riders in the outer circle, and the whinnying sounds of the horses hitting the shields and stalling, rang out together. Gradually, the barbarians spoke in blunt Chinese. He shouted: "If you don't fight, you won't die! If you don't fight, you won't die!" And these waves of sound came from all directions, like a stormy sea, shaking the hearts of everyone in the phalanx.
Tan Hezhi's face turned pale. He held the blue flag he picked up from the ground and cried: "Brother, the flag has fallen. This, how can this be good?"
The muscles on Tan Shao's face were shaking gently. He looked around, closed his eyes, shook his head and said: "We have resisted and fought as much as possible. Now the enemy's bows and arrows can directly attack here. If we think about it again,
It is no longer possible to rely on square formations to defend. Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to fight to the death."
As he spoke, he snatched the blue flag from Tan Hezhi's hand and directly put the flag on the halberd in his hand. The small branches on the side of the halberd were hung with flags. Tan Shao raised it high.
The euphorbia let the handsome flag flutter in the wind, and he shouted: "My sons, serve the country with all your loyalty, and you will die without regrets!"
All the sergeants looked back at the big flag at the same time, gritted their teeth, and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Serve the country with all your loyalty, and you will die without regrets!"
Tan Shao suddenly jumped off the commander's platform, raised his halberd, and shouted: "Disband the formation, fight out, fight with the Hulu, kill..."
He was about to rush forward, but he only heard a loud sound of drums and horns from the north. Hundreds of drums were beating heavily, and a large flag with the word "zhu" could be vaguely seen even through the smoke.
, the vibrations when hundreds of chariot wheels rolled over the earth were like a slight earthquake, and a familiar and powerful voice, which was greatly enhanced through the large iron horn, went straight into Tan Shao's ears: "Brother Shao
Don’t worry, Lingshi is coming!”
Tan Shao was stunned at first, then turned to face with ecstasy, and laughed loudly: "The reinforcements are coming, the reinforcements are coming, it's a big stone, it's a big stone, haha, I knew someone would come to save us, He Zhi
, send the order quickly, hold firmly, and hold on to this last section. As soon as the enemy cavalry retreats, I will fully pursue them!"
As he spoke, he tore off the handsome flag hanging on the big halberd and raised it to the flagpole himself: "beat the drum, beat the drum, let all the troops continue to hold firm and wait for my command!"
Less than seventy steps away from the Tanshao handsome flag, Murong Zhen's white beard was gently swaying in the wind. He looked at the blue handsome flag rising again, and also looked at the shield wall in front of him.
, the more than a hundred cavalrymen who retreated again, their bodies covered with arrows, murmured to themselves: "God's will, is this God's will?"
Murong Ping rushed to his side and pulled out an arrow shaft from his left leg. Blood arrows flew up. The two servant guards quickly sprinkled Marching Styptic Powder on his injured area while Murong Ping yelled.
Said: "Your Majesty, why do you want to withdraw your troops at this time? As long as I charge twice more, no, one more time, I will definitely be able to break open Tan Shao's turtle shell!"
Murong Zhen shook his head and said: "The enemy's chariot troops have already arrived. If we continue to attack these infantry formations, we will only be attacked from both sides. While the enemy's infantry has suffered heavy losses and needs to reorganize, we must first fight the enemy."
The chariot troops, otherwise, if they get in front of them, we won’t even have the distance to attack!”
Murong Ping spat out a mouthful of bloody spit and gritted his teeth: "Damn Wu'er, where did these stupid chariots come from?!"
Murong Zhen gritted his teeth and said: "The enemy tanks came from the direction of Beicheng. There were one hundred and thirty tanks in the first batch, and there should be more in the back. But these are pure tanks without the cover of infantry and cavalry. Ah
Ping, you take the two thousand cavalry who have been resting here and defeat this leading chariot first. If a chariot rushes here, come to me with your head raised!"
Murong Ping's eyes flashed with excitement: "Okay, then I will leave this place to the king. My nephew will go and kill the enemy general named Zhu now!"
Murong Zhen said in a deep voice: "Don't underestimate the enemy, attack their wheels, that is the weak point of the chariot!"
