On the high platform of the Chinese army, the four arrows on his body were like Meng Kai who didn't realize it. He once again swung the smashed knife and spear in his hand, and knocked down, cut down, and pierced the several powerful enemies who rushed in front of him. He flew out with a large canopy of blood and water.
And beside him, he has put on new faces who don’t know the first one, and started to look at the same tired and depressed hands and feet with trembling hands and feet, but still driven by a certain inertia, mechanical and numbness caused the corpse to be laid out. The ramp again climbed up the enemy soldiers.
And the blood-colored barrier that was temporarily piled up with corpses just in front of Meng Kai had become a red-colored death line that they could not surpass under the repeated impact. And Meng Kai, who was soaked in the blood of himself and the enemy, even used the corner of his eye to encourage him in his spare time. These newly made faces said:
"It doesn't matter, just follow me..."
"When I followed the King Butian (Xianzhi), but under Qizhou City, I spent days and nights endlessly dealing with the officials and the army. I only ate a piece of cake and ate a few mouthfuls of snow balls."
"It's not all right now. Just take advantage of the gap and drink a few more sips of tea soup with a handful of fried noodles and sugar cakes. Those enemy prisoners have nothing to eat, and they have begun to kill horses..."
As if confirming his words, the Hedong soldiers who retreated in the distance pushed a wounded horse to the ground in twos and threes, and swung a knife into his chest, abdomen, and neck, and couldn't wait to press his head to fill his head. Drinking the spewing blood, the whole head, face, beard and hair became red and hideous. .
Then, some people simply drew the knife and cut off the bloody meat from the dying horse, and then bit and swallowed it alive, screaming and roaring like a human-shaped beast.
And this cruel and weird ritual and atmosphere, like a kind of crazy plague, quickly spread through the enemy lineup, and let these obviously exhausted enemy soldiers, once again arouse their morale and surplus. Yong, no longer pay attention to lineup and order, and attacked like a raging wave.
What makes the situation even worse is the frenetic offensive compared to the front. Some of the enemy soldiers who have circled the side of the high platform, but under the cover of fierce noise, can be found with their hands in the cover of the high row. All tools, desperately digging up the edge of the platform.
Although it is a large fortress for the Chinese army to command the battle, it has been extra tamped and reinforced from the beginning; but it can't stop the desperate excavation and eradication. Therefore, when it is found on the soil fortress, it is used to fight. , Bows, crossbows, and throwing objects have killed many, but they can't stop the momentum of digging.
Therefore, fortifications and obstacles such as fences and horse-rejection at the edge of the platform quickly broke and subsided and collapsed to varying degrees because of the loss of sufficient support foundation; and then they were arranged on the edge of the platform. The artillery fortress also quickly deformed with the falling soil baskets and sandbags. .
However, the Hedong Army, who was attacking like a tide, suddenly split up, revealing a great general with a large black light armor, holding a large steel axe and slowly picking up his steps forward, staring coldly at Meng. Kai hum said:
"What a thief general, Ann dare to call a certain war!"
"it is good.."
Meng Kai only uttered one word, but the next moment he snatched a short hand gun from the corpse, and slapped it in the middle of the bear-shaped facade; while screaming on the spot, he screamed blood and fell on his back. The steel axe came out, knocked down and smashed into the left and right soldiers.
In the next moment, after seeing the enemy soldiers who retreated from the left and right, they were also shocked. They furiously and furiously closed up with the Taiping army that Meng Kai had snatched from the left and right. They fought fiercely with spears and swords, and became one again There were numerous casualties from falling to the ground and rolling down.
Then, another enemy general rushed forward, and a big hand with a pointed iron rod and a left and a right strike to sweep Wushuang, smashing the countless spear tips and hooks and forks that were pierced out. , Rushed to Meng Kai again and yelled a few steps:
"Thieves who don't talk about martial arts, die..."
At the next moment, Meng Kai, who reached out with a decapitated spear to fend off his oncoming club sweep, shook his body fiercely, and took a step back; then he stepped aside without hesitation, and revealed his back. A small cast-iron cannon with burning remnants and mottled.
Then it turned into a deafening bombardment and a large swarm of smoke. As the smoke swarmed out, there was a fine track of fan-shaped spreading bullets, and a large bloody wind was splashed in these face-to-face enemies in an instant.
And the enemy general even broke the hand that was able to block the half of his body in his hand, as if he was repeatedly whipped by a whip from oncoming attacks, and in an instant he splashed a lot of fine blood between his head, face, shoulders and neck. , And was pushed back and forth out of thin air and rolled down
Looking at the enemy's retreat once again, Meng Kai didn't feel much fortunate. Because this is the last opportunity he has to use. But at least two enemy generals who are not low in status have been replaced. Even if he is inevitably killed in the next moment, he will be compensated
In fact, at this moment of the battle, his legs and feet were numb and dull and almost unconscious and could not move at all. He could only look at maintaining a basic stance. He even did not allow people to move his position for fear that he would fall down the next moment. I can't stand up anymore.
After losing two generals one after another, the enemy army was dragged out in a chaos and killed dozens of people. They regained their order and lineup again, but they were lifeless and resolutely attacked.
However, more roars resounded on the city head behind them, and turned into a trajectory that whizzed and danced over the top of the high platform, and bombarded the clusters of flesh and blood in the nearby enemies with more precision. Fly; For a time, all the blazing offensive enemies were beaten to a halt.
There were more whistles and horns, emerging from behind these Taiping soldiers who stood firm on the platform, and gradually overwhelmingly overwhelmed all sides with the torn fighting, shouts, and roars from the Hedong Army.
Therefore, in other directions beyond their vision, five of the six broken gates in Linfen City reopened from the inside; and one after another, a new force came out; although they were also covered in robes and armors. There is no shortage of wounded people.
At this moment, Meng Kai took a long sigh of relief, and dropped his eyelids no longer wanting to move; then, amidst the exclaims on the left and right, he just stood upright and passed out. Allowing the soldiers around him to rush off the base like a torrent, rushing to join the counterattack.
However, this was outright bad news for the Hedong Army, which had reached the final juncture.
"Brother, it's not good, Juro (Li Cunzhen), who is responsible for suppressing the south of the city, has already left the battlefield without authorization..."
"Manager, the Li Jun envoy in the west of the city was assaulted by a large thief army in the city, and it can't stop the defeat and retreat"
"Marshal, the city (Li Sizhao) can no longer count on it, we must go..."
In the devastated and chaotic camp under the city, Li Siyuan (Miao Jilie), who was completely clothed and personally approached to greet him, was desperately intercepted by the left and right, ignoring his yelling and turning his head back. Just go.
Shi Jingsi was responsible for clearing the way for him by grabbing a big sword, cutting all the people and things in the field of vision to the ground, abruptly rushing him away and escorting him out of the camp, when he met a group of people who were already prepared. Mounts.
Li Siyuan (Miao Jilie) then questioned in a sorrowful voice:
"Kiu Lang, why bother to come here? If I fail to ask the thief, it is also disadvantageous to seize the river. Even if I lose the army, how can I face to see my father again, but I am here..."
"Because of this, elder brother, please be sure to protect your useful body..."
Shi Jingsi, in the white robe at the end of the bloody water, hissed with pain on his face:
"Now that so many brothers are trapped here, the corresponding relatives of the family can only rely on the older brother to take care of them!..."
"In the past, it was my big brother's decision, now it's my turn to do my best for the big brother..."
As he said this, he stretched out his hand to take Li Siyuan's general flag, and did not hesitate to stab the horse's buttocks with the tip of the knife hilt to provoke his pain and gallop away; then he turned around to face the Taiping rider who was outflanking the horse. , Roared imposingly:
"This formation is here, An dare to fight with me..."
—I am the dividing line —
"Has the battle of Linfen ended?"
When Zhou Huaian received the report, it was two days later.
"The formation has cut more than 20,000, and captured 30,000 today. Armored flag sticks preach that there are countless grains. There are more than 5,000 war horses alone, and more than 30,000 pack animals and meat animals, cattle, horses, donkeys and mules?"
"Our army suffered more than 10,000 injuries, of which more than 3,600 were killed in battle, more than 5,100 were seriously injured, and more than 3,900 slightly injured? Loss of equipment and gun vehicles...
Then he paused and arrived
"... the loss of equipment and the proportion of severely wounded people are so large, it seems that it has been a fierce battle."
Zhou Huaian frowned when he saw the final review book attached to the summary of the battle gains and losses and experience and lessons.
"What is this Ge Guomei doing? Did you lead the troops alone and learned how to deal with these vain things?"
"Can't we solve the problems in the battlefield in a down-to-earth manner? If it is purely out of considerations of military tactics and strategic direction, what needs additional consideration?"
"Is the system of the Taiping Army not enough to guarantee that the relationship and basic rights and interests of the upper and lower members of the army cannot be spread out, but should we worry about and entangle these things
"Isn't the standard for judging right and wrong to seek truth from facts? When did it become a set of secretly speculating about each other regardless of the trace (process and result) of the heart (motivation)?"
"Even if he has made mistakes and negligence in his judgment on the battlefield, it should not be me who needs to be forgiven first, but Meng Kai as the person involved... Let him and Meng Kai rewrite an additional report together. ." (End of this chapter)
