But Lei Jiang did not dare to retreat, and he could not retreat. If he retreated, the Baihualin soldiers and horses would be saved, but the main army in the valley would be wiped out. Taking a deep breath, Lei Jiang raised the back of his hand and let go.
He kissed his lips. When he raised his head again, his eyes were full of determination. He turned to his deputy general Han Panglu and said, "Old Han, please lead a few people to the valley road immediately and tell the generals to hurry up.
Withdraw from the fight."
Han Penglu seemed to feel something. He grabbed Lei Jiang's arm and shook his head heavily, "No, Brother Lei, it's better for you to inform me. I will lead someone to stay."
"Old Han, stop talking. I am the commander-in-chief and the commander of this army. If I leave, what will my subordinates think? Don't hesitate. If you delay for a moment, you will be in more danger." Lei Jiang pushed
Han bypassed the road and strode out of the military tent.
The rogues came very quickly, all thanks to Zhao Ling's decisiveness. With Zhao Ling as the leader, no one else dared not to rush forward. A large number of rogues rushed towards the temporary base, and it was impossible to form a tight formation in the birch forest.
, they could only break up and fight, which made the rogue bandits' military superiority more vivid. In the blink of an eye, Lei Jiang's troops were entangled with the rogue bandits. Han Panglu gritted his teeth and glanced in the direction of Lei Jiang with his red eyes, and then
He got on his horse and left in a hurry.
In the battle of Baihualin, both sides had no skills to speak of. The infantry formation that the Northern Shanxi Army had always relied on could not be used, and the shields could only resist on a small scale. However, the rogues had a large number of troops and surrounded them in all directions. The soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army could only retreat step by step.
Hua Xi is a farmer, and he has only been in the Northern Shanxi Army for a month. But at this time, he is like a veteran of the Northern Shanxi Army, bravely resisting the attacks of rogue bandits again and again.
The bandits saw Hua Xi's bravery, and more than a dozen bandit soldiers ate their wooden shields and roared loudly, "Come together, kill this bearded man, and avenge our brothers."
For a time, the bandits shared the same hatred. Four brave bandit compatriots had died at the hands of this bearded man, so he had to pay the price. Huaxi grabbed a shield and, like a human bomb, slammed into the nearest bandit soldier. This man
The rogue soldier was unprepared. His chest was hit several times and several ribs were broken. When the others saw this, they suddenly became jealous and rushed towards Huaxi. Several steel knives stabbed Huaxi at the same time. No matter what Huaxi did,
It's amazing, it's still a mortal body, the blood is sprinkled on the thick birch leaves, and after just a moment, it turns into red crystals in the cold wind.
Lei Jiang's troops were retreating steadily, but the birch forest was so big, where could they retreat? Behind him was the exit of the birch forest. Lei Jiang had nowhere to retreat. He vomited a mouthful of blood, raised his hand and slowly took off his helmet.
When he came down, his blood-stained hair was frozen stiff, and his mouth was open, revealing an inexplicable desolation, "Brothers, behind us are five thousand comrades. If we retreat, they will die. We will die."
They can give birth. Tell me if we want to retreat!"
The language was rough and straightforward, without any sense of beauty, but the short sentence was full of emotion and appeal. The surrounding soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army all stared with anger, roared loudly, and some people pulled off their hats.
, smearing the blood on his face, "Never retreat, never retreat, fight to the death, never retreat, kill..."
More than two hundred remnant soldiers, fighting each other, formed two lines of defense. Their eyes were full of bloodthirsty madness, and there was a determination that was not afraid of death. The rogues rushed over, but stopped again. Under the eyes of these officers and soldiers,
Under their gaze, they actually felt scared. What a ridiculous idea. They were clearly about to win, so why were they still scared?
No, this is not surprising at all. People are thoughtful. More rogue soldiers couldn't help but think, if they win this time, what about the next time? What about the next time? Can such an opponent really be defeated? You know, in
There are nearly 100,000 such enemy troops in Shaanxi. Facing such a powerful opponent, is it really possible to capture the city of Xi'an or even the entire Shaanxi?
Zhao Ling also showed a look of horror. What kind of enemies are these? At this time, they can still launch a final charge. But Zhao Ling will not be afraid. He deeply understands that on the battlefield, who is afraid first?
Who will become the ghost under the sword, "Brothers, raise the weapons in your hands, put away your mercy, and charge with me."
"Ha..." The rogue soldiers raised their weapons, and a strong wind raged, and dead leaves fell from the branches. Each leaf was like a cold knife, scraping the men's faces.
The torrents of desperate death collided together, composing a bright red chapter of prosperity.
The earth weeps, the fields are sad, where will the lonely soul go? There is no hell, no heaven, because both the land and heaven are prepared for the living. When the Northern Shanxi Army no longer retreats, it is destined to end in a river of blood.
When Lei Jiang fell, what he saw in his eyes was the last scenery, withered birch leaves, gloomy sky, weak sunshine, the first snow in the winter of five years in Chongzhen, it was coming soon, but he wanted to stay forever
Went.
I really want to take a look at the snow here again. The white snow covers the sky and the earth. Who will decorate the vast country and write about the former homeland? Life is dying, for life, for family, for freedom, and for the Ming Dynasty.
.
In the northern valley of Lantian Mountain, General Qian Zheng Changge came to the high slopes and personally directed further offensive and defensive battles. After noon, the bandits seemed to have taken some medicine, and the resistance was very fierce. The soldiers on both sides launched several rounds of attacks and were all beaten back.
, at this time, the rogues had launched a full-scale counterattack on the high slopes on both sides, and there were also a large number of rogue cavalry charging across the valley.
Zheng Changge had a bad feeling in his heart. Are the rogues crazy? As far as he knows, the rogues in the entire Lantian Mountain area only have nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, but now the rogues have invested more than 4,000 troops.
The number of people is still increasing. The purpose of attacking the northern valley road is to attract the attention of the rogue bandits, but no one expected that the rogue bandits would be so crazy and tilt almost all their troops to the north. If anything happens, a feint attack will be very easy.
It could turn into a fight.
Zheng Changge was thinking about why the rogue bandits counterattacked so abnormally. A burst of noise and curses came from the distance, which directly disrupted Zheng Changge's thoughts. He turned around and saw Zheng Changge frowned tightly.
The general-looking man was in conflict with his own bodyguards. Han Penglu worked hard and narrowly escaped death to reach the valley road. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by these indifferent commanding officers and bodyguards, "You bitches, what are you going to do?"
Something big has happened, I want to see Mr. Zheng Qian, do you hear me?"
Hearing Han Panglu's scolding, Zheng Changge had no choice but to walk over quickly and asked with an unhappy expression, "Who are you? This general is Zheng Changge, Commander-in-Chief Qian of the Fourth Battalion of the First Army. If you have anything to say, please just say it.
.”
Han Panglu was shocked, and quickly put away his arrogant attitude, bowed his hands and saluted, "Back to Mr. Zheng Qian, General Han Penglu of the first army, the former general and the commander Lei Jiang were ordered to lead 500 soldiers to garrison in the east.
White Birch Forest. Just two hours ago, a group of bandits came from the south. Their number was not less than 1,500. President Lei Ba had already led his men to resist, but the situation was not good. I hope President Qian would quickly order the withdrawal.
, otherwise the back road of the valley road will be blocked, and the consequences will be disastrous."
Zheng Changge's expression changed and he breathed a long sigh of relief. Now that everything was figured out, no wonder the bandits would launch a massive counterattack regardless of the cost. It turned out that they had already sent people to block the way back. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Zheng Changge didn't hesitate at all.
He immediately issued an order, "Order all ministries to gradually withdraw from the battle. All the fire starters prepared previously are thrown in to block the pursuit of the rogue bandits. Everyone must evacuate to the northeast immediately."
Zheng Changge's order was issued quickly. After receiving the order to retreat, the ministries quickly placed rolling logs and dead grass on the valley road and the hillside. Soon after, a fire broke out in the valley road, forming a long wall of fire. Seeing this wall of fire,
Zheng Guosong screamed angrily, but he still had hope. As long as Zhao Ling led his troops to block the opponent's retreat and delayed for a moment, he could still annihilate the invading enemy.
The battle in the northern valley road was full of too many variables. Zhao Ling finally arrived at the valley road. However, due to the emergence of the Han bypass road, Zheng Changge's main force retreated early, so Zhao Ling still missed. Looking at the messy valley road, where
There were still traces of officers and soldiers. Zhao Ling angrily pulled out his sword and slashed it hard on the boulder next to him, erasing the sparks. "Why is this happening? I worked so hard and so many people died, but the officers and soldiers were left alone."
Ran away."
No one can answer Zhao Ling, just like no one knows whether Wusheng Old Mother exists or not. On the other side, Zheng Changge's main force had been withdrawn to the northeastern station, and then they had time to rest. At this time, Zheng Changge was very dignified.
Unimaginatively, he sat on the ground and gasped. He knew very well that it was a fluke that he could escape this time. If Han Panglu hadn't fought his way out of the siege to send the message, I'm afraid all the nearly 5,000 troops would have died in the northern valley.
Hit.
Unfortunately, none of Lei Jiang and the hundreds of soldiers stationed in the birch forest were spared, and they all became victims of the rogue bandits. If there is any good news, it is that after a bloody battle, most of the energy of the rogue garrison in Lantian Mountain was lost.
Attracted to the north. After this battle, the First Army could no longer launch a surprise attack on Lantian Mountain, nor could it continue to attack the north. Zheng Changge glanced at the northwest and said, "General Zhou, there is only so much that I can do."
Now, whether you can withdraw or not is up to you."
Zheng Changge also wanted to continue attacking Lantian Mountain, but the mission of the First Army was to confuse the rogue bandits. This time they stormed the valley road, and in the battle of Baihualin, the First Army had already lost nearly two thousand soldiers. In the northern valley road, Zhao Ling saw
Looking at Zheng Guosong in front of him, he couldn't say anything. Zheng Guosong couldn't blame Zhao Ling. Zhao Ling's troops had already appeared behind the valley road as scheduled, but by all calculations, Zheng Changge's decisiveness was missed, and there was no way he could do it at all.
Retreating without hesitation is not something everyone can do.
In order to organize this counterattack, too many troops were invested. Due to the storming of the valley road, a total of nearly 4,000 soldiers were lost. Now the Lantian Mountain garrison is in a semi-disabled state.
"Send a message to King Chuang. The strength of Lantian Mountain after the battle at Gudao was greatly damaged. We urgently need to replenish our troops. Otherwise, our department cannot guarantee the defense of Lantian Mountain." Zheng Guosong was a little scared. The battle at Gudao brought a series of impacts. First of all,
It's the southern defense. There are loopholes in the overall defense. The lack of troops cannot be supplemented by strategy. What's more, the First Army is blocked in the northeast and can attack again at any time. It doesn't dare to move troops to the south. Speaking of which, we need to ask for reinforcements at this time.
It's a bit embarrassing, but compared with face, military affairs are more important. He has already requested reinforcements. If King Chuang does not send reinforcements, then if something goes wrong, Zheng Guosong will not be responsible for him alone.
Zheng Guosong asked for reinforcements, but Gao Yingxiang had no time to take into account Zheng Guosong's request at this time. Since noon, the rogue army launched a fierce attack on Xi'an City again, encircling it on all sides, using ladders and trebuchets. This time the offensive was more powerful than
Yesterday it was even more fierce. In order to get Xi'an, Li Gao Yingxiang tried every means, even using a ladder and a trebuchet together. The accuracy of the trebuchet was very inaccurate, and the rogue soldiers used the ladder to attack the city, leaning against the city head.
Being so close, it is not surprising at all to be accidentally injured. Now, after the continuous cleaning by trebuchets, the inside and outside of the city wall are filled with a stinking smell. Faced with the cow dung soup, no one on both sides can be spared. Fortunately, Gao Yingxiang still has some conscience and did not use stoning on a large scale.
Block, otherwise the rogue soldiers will really yell at you.
Under the indiscriminate attack of the rogue bandits, Chen Qiyu and others could only order the soldiers to resist tenaciously. Rolling logs, kerosene, and boiling water were all thrown out. The rogue bandits suffered heavy casualties, but the crazy rogue soldiers still did not
Stopping the attack, groups of people rushed up. Officers and soldiers are also human beings. Faced with this mad dog-like fighting style, the number of casualties rose linearly. Hong Chengchou's face was black and blue, and his left arm was tied with a thick
Thick bandages, "Supervisor Chen, the bandits are so damn crazy. They are stepping on the corpses and rushing upwards. They are piled halfway under the city."
The mountain of corpses is such a terrifying scene, but it is actually happening under the city of Xi'an. After the bandits died, the living people directly piled the corpses under the city, and piled them up little by little, forming a city wall of corpses.
This mountain of corpses has piled up to a certain extent, and the ladder can reach the top of the city. The terrible bandits, they are the demons crawling out of hell.
Looking at the sky, it was already evening. In another half hour, the sky would darken completely. Chen Qiyu finally nodded heavily, "Let's shrink our defenses first. There should be movement over there in Lantian."
Before Gao Yingxiang could get angry, the head of the bodyguard hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, urgent report from Lantian Mountain."
Gao Yingxiang groaned angrily. He just glanced at it and almost couldn't breathe. He was suffocated and his hands were trembling. The letter fell lightly to the ground. After a long time, Gao Yingxiang suddenly raised his foot and lifted his hand.
The captain of the guard kicked him to the ground, "You idiot, why didn't you tell me such important news earlier? Lantian Mountain requested reinforcements, but I didn't know until now that it's all over. I'm afraid the main force of the Northern Shanxi Army will come from Lantian Mountain."
