Lord of the House

Vol 11 Chapter 131: Night blood flow

The broken east gate of Huangpi reflects the blazing fire very ugly.

Under the concentrated bombardment of Huaidong's heavy hurling crossbow, the city wall on the east side of Huangpi finally couldn't support it, and collapsed suddenly, opening a section of gaps ranging from several to ten feet wide.

The defenders could no longer defend the city wall, so Sun Jichang retreated into the city surrounded by his own guards.

"Let's withdraw, if you don't withdraw, it will be too late. Baitahe and Xiongjiagang can't last longer?" Ji Shiben came to join Sun Jichang covered in blood, put aside the guards beside him, and walked to Sun Jichang alone, pressing his voice to persuade him. he.

"How to evacuate?" Sun Jichang didn't want to evacuate, but retreating in the dark would only cause the entire army to collapse. It's not that he didn't know what was going on here. If he wanted to keep his troops, he had to hold on until dawn tomorrow, and said, "Hold on a little longer, as long as Meng Anchan sends cavalry to attack from both flanks, they should be able to suppress the Huaidong Army..."

"The two wings of Baita River and Xiongjiagang are in jeopardy. I heard that Shewenzhuang sent people to Xiaonan twice to urge Meng Anchan to send troops, but Meng Anchan did not pay attention. I am afraid that Meng Anchan wants to flee first," Ji Shiben said. "If the two wings can't hold up first, and if Meng Anchan escapes first, we can't outrun their four legs with our two legs!"

"But..." Sun Jichang still couldn't make up his mind.

"It's nothing to worry about," Ji Shiben said, "Could it be that Sun Shuai still wants to keep his troops and horses alive, thank God that you and I can escape..."

The night was dark, and the battle on the battlefield seemed to solidify, and the pool of blood became dim.

In front of the gap in the fence that was torn open by the combination of the bed crossbow, scorpion crossbow, and rushing chariot, the trench bridge car and the folding ladder car made the entry and exit passage. Without exception, before the armored soldiers first broke into the enemy's camp, there were several iron-clad carriages pushed by armor-piercing warriors and rammed into the fragile defense formation organized by the enemy in the camp.

The Huaidong Army covered the carriages with iron armor to guard against the impact of the enemy's heavy armored cavalry. How could the infantry of the enemy camp behind the fence withstand the impact of the iron-clad carriages? But the Huaidong armored soldiers behind the iron-clad carriage saw that the enemy's defense formation was broken, so they decisively rushed out to fight.

The sharp blade sharpened by the fine iron can be easily slashed even by a few millimeters of thick iron armor; dozens of Mo knives are strenuously slashing down from top to bottom, as if dozens of lightning strikes, it is the iron armor defense formation. It will be torn apart in an instant, not to mention the enemy soldiers who are scattered by the iron-clad armor. Immediately, his head was broken and his flesh was split, and blood flowed into a river. Under the Mo Dao formation, the dozen or so enemy soldiers who were lucky enough to escape ran and retreated, but threw their backs to the powerful crossbow that came from the air...

Tore a group of enemy pawns to pieces, and killed them to the point of corpses. When the enemy pawns organized an orderly array to counterattack, the Huaidong armored pawns retreated after covering the iron carriages, and waited for the subsequent friendly troops to continue to stand out. Come, use the tactical action of repeatedly attacking, shrinking and killing again, tearing up the enemy's orderly counterattack on the north shore, and constantly expanding the position on the north shore...

The crossbow array had already pressed against the south bank of the Baita River. According to the instructions of the command flag on the nest car, the archery covered the counterattack array of the enemy pawns. The bed crossbow made of fine iron has a heavier base, which means higher stability and accuracy. Within a close range of one or two hundred steps, shooting the enemy line horizontally is like stringing candied haws. Pierced through the bodies of three or four enemy pawns.

Under the fire of the bed crossbow, any level of sophisticated iron armor is pale and powerless. Only the iron plate with a thickness of three points (one tenth of an inch) on the side of the Huaidong Army's iron-coated carriage can block the bed crossbow at close range. shooting.

The crossbow array effectively covered the flanks of the armored **** array that broke into the enemy camp, and the scorpion crossbow threw thousands of kerosene tanks into the depths of the enemy camp on the north bank in a short period of time.

The residue of smoldering coal is mixed with kerosene to become a combustion product with excellent performance. If the can is broken or the kerosene is spilled, even if it is on the sandy soil, the fire can burn roaringly, and the wooden fence walls, tents, and war sheds are stained with this kind of oil, and they must be burned to ashes, otherwise it will be difficult to put out.

The heavier the twilight, the more aggressive the fire on the north bank, which also provided enough lighting for the Huaidong Army soldiers who broke down their camps at night.

Under the fierce attack of the Huaidong Army, the defenders' counterattacks seemed abrupt and weak, unable to effectively kill the Huaidong Army that had broken through, and even less able to break up the rock-solid Huaidong Army formation and push back. , just pointless accumulation of casualties.

The corpses lying all over the ground and the pools of blood accumulated in the low-lying ground were like a small lake, so that the guards could no longer suppress the fear and despair in their hearts, and could only look at the grassy **** behind the camp. On the grassy **** behind the barracks, the supervising teams carrying knives and axes were like a gulf, cutting off their hope of escaping. As long as the defenders retreated within the vigilance range of the supervising team, they would be ruthlessly slashed and killed.

If they rushed out, they would die, and if they retreated, they would die. Countless defenders retreated to the narrow area on the north side of the gate, and a long and shallow trench provided them with a fragile protection, preventing the Huaidong Army from rushing forward like tigers and wolves. The defenders behind the trench looked pitifully at their leader.

Their leader looked desperately at the dark night sky in the north, waiting for the iron armored cavalry to emerge from the night sky behind the grassy **** like a stream of iron.

In the face of the resolute intrusion of the Huaidong Army and the incomparably powerful weapons of the Huaidong Army, unless the cavalry deployed in the second line resolutely rushed forward, the guards behind the Baita River alone would not be able to recover. line of defense. Once the second long trench is broken through by the Huaidong Army, there is no longer any obstacle to stop the Huaidong Army from interspersing and rushing in depth...

Chen Zhu stood in front of the nest car, holding the saber on his waist, looking at the battlefield on the north bank of the Baita River:

In the middle section of the enemy's Baita River defense line, on the front line that was more than ten miles long, he had put in nine battalions of the 30 battalions in his hand, and had successfully broken eleven gaps and defeated the enemy in Baita. The three battalions on the north bank of the Tahe River formed eleven channels for sending troops to attack in the depths of the northern line.

Chen Zhu had to keep abreast of every meticulous sign and sign on the battlefield at all times. Although he was ready to attack in depth, he had to be patient and wait for Yu Wencheng and Zhang Gou to cut into the enemy's line of defense. , in order to attack in depth, so as to make the enemy have no ability to counterattack at all, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties.

"The enemy in Huangpi is defeated, the enemy in Huangpi is defeated..." Several cavalry and galloping came to report the news that the enemy in Huangpi, Chen Jichang, had been defeated.

Without the need for Yu Wencheng to send someone to deliver the letter, Chen Zhu looked to the northeast and could see that the speed of Yu Wencheng's men's penetration into Huangpi City suddenly accelerated, which was a sign of the defeat of the enemy in Huangpi City.

"Fuck!" Chen Zui was very dissatisfied that he was not the first to defeat the enemy, he spat at the night under the nest car, and ordered in a hoarse voice, "Notify Li Baidao and tell him to kill Laozi, he I can't kill the enemy so much, and tell him to carefully skin him!"

The war drums beat like rolling thunder again, shaking the earth and the mountains. The soldiers of the second line nine battalions on the south bank of the Baita River heard the drums and shouted together, crossing the Baita River to join the first line of soldiers. , launched a final attack on the defenders who had shrunk to the narrow area on the north side of the camp...

In the Xiongjiagang camp, Shewenzhuang looked at the Huaidong Army coming in like a black tide in the night. He was like an ordinary old man, leaning on the handrail with his thin hands, and there was no strength in his body.

"Sun Jichang escaped, and Meng Anchan also started to escape, and there was no cavalry to help. This is a real defeat..." Ma Wenchengyun, the former governor of Zhejiang and Fujian Province, walked up to the watchtower and said.

"Oh!" She Wenzhuang was not surprised at all by such news. In his opinion, it should have been so, but he responded calmly, as if he did not see the Huaidong Army coming in like a tide.

"Let the Governor go, if you don't leave, it will be too late." Wen Chengyun said.

"I'm old and can't run anymore. Rather than dying in the chaos of the army and leaving my corpse in the wilderness, it's better to stay and watch the last night quietly," Shewenzhuang said calmly, "Let's go. "

"If the governor doesn't go, what will Cheng Yun do?" Wen Chengyun stood on the top of the watchtower with Shewenzhuang and asked, "Does the governor still want to see the eldest miss, Song Fu, and Donghaihu?"

"Maybe." She Wenzhuang said.

Wen Chengyun saw the Huaidong army rushing up like a tide, turned his head to see the collapsed soldiers behind him like a tide, took off the saber from his waist, threw it aside, and ordered the loyal and steadfast soldiers downstairs: " If you want to go, go, if you don't want to go, take off your armor!"

"Great Governor, keep the green hills, don't be afraid of running out of firewood!" Zhou Meishan, the captain of the waiting school, shouted unwillingly and unyieldingly towards Wanglou.

If you haven't heard of it, Shewenzhuang stands on the watchtower, staring at the dark night of the distant sky like a dead heart.

Zhou Meishan lay on the ground and kowtowed a few times, turned on his horse, and followed him to the depths of the night in the north with a dozen cavalry. A fence rushed over.

Several warriors carried big axes and slashed at the flag of the King of Fujian in Shewenzhuang~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The high flag erected under the night seemed to symbolize the last line of defense in Eastern Hubei and the last of the dozens of defenders. A spiritual pillar completely collapsed at the moment when the handsome flag was cut off, and the surrounding mountains and fields revealed thunderous cries.

****************

The shouting set off a wave after wave of sound, which spread directly to the camp of Zhaohu Mountain.

"Breakthrough across the board!" Lin Bie put down the charcoal in his hand and looked at the battlefield in the distance through the curtained camp gate. The bursts of shouting made people so excited and excited.

"It's a breakthrough across the board," Gao Zongting said, "Huangpi, Baitahe, and Xiongjiagang have all been defeated. There is no news from Hanjin and Tiemenshan, and it will be similar if they come. Zhao Hu and Su Pinxiao have already led their troops to go there. Hanjin went away..."

Lin Bie put down his sleeves, and said to Zhou Pu behind him: "You can let the riding camp out, but you don't want to go. Tell Zhao Bao and the others that the stone city is the limit, and the riding camp should not be in a hurry to chase north. , I want them to repeatedly tear up the enemy forces that may be organized before Shicheng and Huangpi..."

In order to effectively kill and chase the enemy, cavalry had to go into battle. Although Zhou Pu was itchy, he also knew that he should not be competing with the young generals below for some military exploits, and spread his hands and sighed: "The further down we go, the more people like us will become. It's useless."

"How could it be?" Lin Fu laughed and said, "The empire is going to rise, and the battle on the battlefield is only a small part; if it's useless, it's also very interesting to hug two girls to sleep and give birth to a few babies. He said to Gao Zongting, "I'll go to sleep first, and leave the rest to you, Cang Hai, Master Fu and Duke Song. I'll talk about leaving for Shicheng when I wake up..." My QT room is open. !
