Watching the camp on the opposite side set up for rest, Li Jackal, the captain of the Jackal Camp, began to take command. Thirty thousand soldiers entered the fortifications and began to defend. Among them, 10,000 archers supported the rear and sent a team of 100 people to prepare to destroy the previously built embankment.
At the rear trench, Lieutenant Li Lang of Langying Camp led 30,000 sword and shield soldiers to respond.
Three miles away on both sides were the Tiger Camp and the Leopard Camp, each leading 20,000 cavalry to interfere with the enemy and wait for opportunities to move, just in case. Inside the city, Zhou Keyuan and Ji Changkong were stationed to provide unified control.
"I don't know what's going on now?" Ji Rufeng said to Zhou Hanbei in the city. "We shouldn't be able to fight tonight. They just arrived and they are exhausted." Zhou Hanbei responded.
For some reason, Zhou Hanbei felt a little excited at the moment, maybe thinking about going into battle to kill the enemy, and the blood in his bones began to beat uneasily.
At this time, in the camp of Dahuang, the vanguard general Tuoba Hong was Zhou Keyuan's old rival. They were both masters of the Mysterious Realm. The Five Mysterious Realms were to store Qi in the body and refine the five internal organs. The five internal organs corresponded to the five elements. Only by mutually reinforcing each other could one know the mysterious secrets.
However, Tuoba Hong was able to refine the four internal organs of Qi, and Zhou Keyuan was so mysterious and perfect that they were probably close to reaching the next level.
"What's going on on the other side now?" Tuoba Hong asked.
A man who looked like a lieutenant replied, "Currently, none of the spies we sent across the river have come back. We only know that the other side has built a defense with about 20,000 to 30,000 people."
After listening to this, Tuoba Hong lowered his head and thought. It's just wishful thinking for so many people to stop me from crossing the river. I just don't know what their back-up plan is. "Tell them to quickly build the pontoon bridge, and ask the archers to be ready to shoot on the other side at any time."
.”
"Yes." The captain clasped his fists and retreated.
Early on the next morning, the sound of Dahuang soldiers rushing and killing resounded throughout the river, and one after another they carried the pontoon bridge and built it into the river.
The West Wind Army here is waiting in a tight formation. Why don't they use archers to stop them from building a bridge? Because it's not within the shooting range, then why not shoot from the front, because there are also archers on the opposite side, and there are more people than us. You go and enter their shooting range, that's all.
People don't deliver food to them.
We can only wait for them to build a bridge and rush over. The infantry will step forward to block the bridge and fight them in close combat. Then they will not be able to shoot for fear of shooting one of their own.
Li Jackal was waiting, ready to charge and kill at any time. It didn't take long for the river to be more than 50 meters wide. At this time, people started to go ashore in Dahuang.
"Kill, the archers will wait for orders, the rest will charge with me." Li Jack raised his spear and took the lead.
"Kill, kill these sons of bitches." Some soldiers shouted.
At this time, the two armies were in close combat. "Pfft", Li Jackal shot each one down. More and more enemy troops came ashore, and more and more people joined the battlefield. "Back off, I!" Li Jackal moved forward with his gun drawn horizontally.
He pushed it, pushed hard, drew out his spear, and swept five or six people into the river with a powerful and heavy sweep.
People kept falling down in other places, and some people fell into the river. The West Wind Army also went crazy and started working on it, because there were not many pontoons, and there were about thirty of them, and each one could carry five people abreast, which meant that there were not enough people to get ashore at the same time.
Two hundred people.
But they couldn't handle the large number of them. At first, because they got ashore first, some people opened the way to buy time for the people behind, so there are currently nearly a thousand people fighting on the shore.
Blood dyed the river surface and its banks red. The West Wind River was quickly filled with brutal killings, and shrill wails resounded throughout the world, as if it had fallen into purgatory on earth.
Li Jackal's breathing was a little rapid. There were too many people, and he was covered in paint. Blood was flowing continuously. He gritted his teeth and insisted, "Brothers, hold on, it will take a while." Li Jackal screamed while stabbing.
road.
"Hey, don't worry, boss." A soldier next to him said, knocking down a man.
One man was hit by a knife, "I will kill one of you even if I die," and after saying this, he fell down with the enemy.
Situations like this happen everywhere.
"Ming Jin, withdraw the troops." Dahuang No. 1 Colonel said.
After retreating, this wave was considered to have been defended. Li Jack quickly ordered a retreat, counted the casualties, and immediately arranged for personnel to bandage the wounds. "Boss, the casualties have been counted." A soldier lowered his head and said.
"How much?" Li Jack gritted his teeth and asked.
The soldier swallowed more and said: "More than 2,100 people died, more than 600 people were seriously injured, and more than 900 people were slightly injured."
"His grandma's." Li Zhen patted it hard, and blood oozed out from the freshly bandaged wound, "Where's Dahuang?"
"About five thousand people." Xiao Bing said.
At such an hour, we could only fight more than 26,000 people, and there were more than 290,000 on the opposite side. This was really difficult to defend. Li Jack immediately made arrangements to send the seriously injured soldiers back first.
Then the archers were asked to prepare for battle, the centurion was ready to stand by, and the combatants had to eat and rest.
In the Dahuang military camp, Tuoba Hong frowned when he saw the casualty statistics, but didn't say much. After all, the terrain was like that, and he couldn't be blamed at that time.
"Arrange the treatment of the wounded, and then find something to build a pontoon bridge." Tuoba Hong gave the order expressionlessly, "No matter what method is used, I will see a bridge that can pass a thousand people built within one day." The school captain took the order.
Go down and make arrangements.
At this time in Xifeng City, Zhou Keyuan and others also received news, "In just one hour, more than 3,000 casualties occurred." Ji Changkong looked sad, and Zhou Keyuan was expressionless, as steady as a mountain. Don't panic at this time, don't affect the army and the people.
.
"What did the capital say?" Zhou Keyuan asked.
Ji Changkong wiped the sweat from his face and replied, "They will transfer 200,000 imperial troops over there and 150,000 from the north to be divided between us and Wufeng City. The east and south cannot be moved, for fear that someone will take advantage of the situation."
"Hey, this is the only way. Daxia promised us that it would be mid-September, and we can't delay it until then." Zhou Keyuan said, minding his own business.
Fortunately, Dahuang only attacked once on the first day, because they had to collect materials to build a pontoon bridge and give the West Wind Army time to rest. Early in the morning, they saw Dahuang starting to build a new pontoon bridge. This time, Li Jack asked them to come first and join the archers.
range, start shooting indiscriminately.
"Archers, prepare." Li Jack shouted, and after ten breaths, "Fire the arrows..." Ten thousand archers, listening to the shouts of charging from the opposite side, sharp arrows whizzed past, and arrows flew past like a rainstorm.
His armor penetrated his uniform. Screams were heard everywhere, and blood was splashed in the air.
After two rounds, I am afraid that six or seven thousand people were killed, but the enemy troops were not afraid of death and still came like a tide. "The archers fired another round, and the swordsmen and spearmen were ready to follow me." Li Jack shouted.
, "After the archers finish shooting, they change into close-quarter weapons and rush over immediately to block it."
"Brothers, charge!" Li Jack took the lead to set an example and followed the enemy to fight together.
The swordsmen met, and the blood-red eyes of a pair of murderers flashed with hatred on their ferocious faces. The smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger in the air. Corpses were everywhere on the ground, and blood flowed into rivers.
"You son of a bitch, die for me," a soldier yelled.
The entire shore was filled with the sounds of swords clashing and roars.
Both sides were furious, and the brothers around them kept falling. Some were crying and killing people, and some were madly rushing into the enemy's formation, rushing in desperately.
Seeing more and more people coming ashore in the wilderness, Li Jack ordered the embankment to be blown up. He saw a loud arrow flying into the sky. After a while, there was only a "bang" and the earth was shaking.
"Retreat from behind, let's cut off the rear." Li Jack shouted.
"Boss, you go first, we'll stop it," the soldier beside him shouted.
"Why do I want you to cut off the rear? This is an order. Those of you behind should retreat quickly." Li Jackal, covered in blood, pulled out a spear from the enemy's body and shouted. "Hurry up, or it will be too late."
Only then did they realize that otherwise the flood would come and everyone would die.
Dahuang's army was in panic. What was going on? How could they feel the ground shaking? They saw that the enemy's rear kept retreating, while the front was still resisting desperately.
No, looking at the flood rolling in from the distance, it looks like a herd of frightened wild horses, unstoppable.
"Run quickly, the flood is coming"
"Fuck, you guys are crazy."
"Damn it, you are so shameless."
There were shouts and curses everywhere, but they did not resist, dropped their weapons and started running away.
The Great Desolate Army, which had not yet crossed the river, also began to retreat. Tuoba Hong clenched his fists, and the veins on his temples wriggled like earthworms, looking very angry.
"Zhou Keyuan, you old man, I have nothing to do with you." Tuoba Hong roared in a low voice, "When the city is destroyed, I will take your life to avenge my son."
At this time, the raging flood was mixed with trees, and gravel rushed down from the upper reaches, constantly rushing into the already turbulent river. While the rumbling sound was lapping the shore, it also shocked the onlookers to the maximum extent.
Heart.
Tragedies were everywhere, many people were washed away unknown to where, and their bodies could not be found. Watching the remaining soldiers of the West Wind Army retreat, they were unable to pursue them and could only watch from a distance.
By the time they all retreated to the second line of defense, the Wolf Camp garrison, everyone was covered in wounds, their blood had dried up, and their weapons were missing. They were all listless and their eyes were dull.
Li Lang looked at them like this, his eyes turned red, and he suddenly asked: "Where is your boss? Why do you only have so many people?"
None of the soldiers answered him, they all looked at a loss.
"Boss, boss..." Wow, a soldier burst into tears,
"Boss...in order to...break off our queen, he...wuwu...sacrificed."
"We can't even find the body..." Another soldier said
This cry made many people cry. With this retreat, only less than 6,000 people could come back. Of the 30,000 people, less than 6,000 could come back.
Li Lang's eyes were wet and he secretly swore in his heart that he would avenge his elder brother. "Arrange people to treat the brothers first. After that, send the brothers home and notify the city." He turned his head, wiped his eyes and said: "In
Send some brothers to look for any survivors." This chapter has been completed!
