Chapter 326: Long hatred is not as good as water (中

Views:

Outside the city of Shangrao, Xinzhou, the battle between the Huainan official army and the main formation of the rebel army has been going on for two days and one night. Numerous intertwined and disorderly corpses have paved the field, and the blood flowing everywhere has soaked the gully.

During this period, countless flags fell and were snatched from each other, and countless flags that were soaked in blood and turned into tatters were recaptured and erected; but no matter how many people were killed or injured, the battlefield was hit from the north of the city. In the south of the city, he fought from outside the city to the city; however, the Huainan army flag, which was going out to sea with Chi Yan, was still blocked by the big ocher-yellow flag.

In this extremely chaotic battlefield, the Zuojun Envoy Meng Kai tried to open his bloody red eyes with a broken knife, and desperately searched for the position of the main formation from the noise and shouts nearby; because, in Prior to this, he had been rushed out of the formation, and the mount was dead and suffered several arrow wounds on his body, but he had no time to remove it for a little disposal.

Immediately, he rushed to the officer in front of him with an irresistible offensive, and in a blink of an eye the enemy's infantry was rushed to pieces, and then the cavalry who followed him rushed back, too. The enemy's attempt to intercept his small crew and encircle him was in vain.

However, these officers and soldiers are like endless existence. He dissipated wave after wave, wave after wave, and still did not find any sign of where the rebel army was located; the only thing that gave him a little peace of mind was what he saw in his eyes. To the fact that hordes of officers and soldiers are still fighting for days, which means that they have never been able to win the yellow king's main formation.

However, in the midst of his thoughts, the smoke and dust collided with an arrogant army; all the officers and soldiers in full armor and uniforms bravely stepped forward, shouting: "Here is a The thief's head, catch the thief's head alive! Catch the thief's head alive!" Hearing this cry, Meng Cai became more annoyed and fought more and more fiercely, like a furious lion, swinging two knives and hacking while shouting loudly.

A sturdy enemy general had just rushed to his horse, and suddenly heard him roar and startled the horse. Before he had time to parry, he was knocked down by Meng Xi and was taken by him. The mount twisted hard, and then dashed towards the officers and soldiers who followed.

After another moment, Meng Na's hands and thighs were stained with blood, and his horseshoes were already stained with blood from the dead and wounded. However, there are more and more officers and soldiers approaching, and they appear to be more and more well-trained.

He smashed to the east, and the enemies on the east retreated, but the lineup was not chaotic, so that he could not break through, and at the same time the enemies from the west came like a tide. When he returned to his horse to kill the enemy in the west, the enemy in the east came back. He suffered a few minor injuries, and there were only more than two hundred soldiers who followed him, most of whom were also injured.

The gray smoke of dusk mixed with yellow dust from horseshoes covered the undulating plateau. Meng Wei was somewhat relieved and calmed down, because he believed that he would have his own way to break through after the sky was dark. The soldiers under his command also cheered up their spirits and encouraged their companions while fighting.

In the extremely long time of this night, Meng Wei continued to fight so nervously that he couldn't hear anyone shouting. He only heard the clanging sound of the weapon around him touching the weapon, and the low and short call of the injured, behind him. The sound of running horses hoofs and footsteps.

"Meng Huzi, brother Feishanhu..."

At this moment, Meng Wei heard a familiar voice calling his nickname again, and he couldn't help but feel a surprise in his heart; and when he looked up through the thick mist, he found that he had already defected to the enemy's old knowledge-former navy deputy rate Xiang Gaozi, immediately on the small mound ten feet away in front, looked at him and shouted.

Suddenly, Meng Yi roared, his beard and hair stood upright, his eyes were almost cracked, and his untamed horse also leaped forward leaping forward under his strenuous control.

The officers and soldiers surrounding in front were horrified, and the horses and soldiers fled to the sides. When he got to the mound, Xiang Gaozi didn't dare to confront him and had already fled. He drove up the mound, but did not find Xiang Gaozi. The soldiers in the surrounding area surrounded the mounds like a tide.

However, the officers and soldiers were already a little afraid of the fierce and courageous battles of Meng Wei and his men, and for a while, they dared not attack fiercely. Meng Wei also let his men rest for a while and waited for the opportunity to break through the siege.

As a result, this battlefield suddenly fell silent in the tense atmosphere shrouded in faintness.

. . . . . . . .

At the same time, another scene was happening in front of the expressionless Huainan army chief Zhang Lin in the front battlefield where the setting sun was slanting like blood.

"You are greedy for life and fear that death will shake the front of the army, so that the army that encircles and annihilates the grass thieves breaks out of the formation... When ruled by military law..."

Du Yuhou, who was in charge of supervising the formation of the Huainan Army, declared loudly.

"Please also ask for trouble, and let me follow the example of the redemption army..."

Immediately, there was a soldier with a gray head and face pressed into the dust with his arms folded back, shouting aloud to be dragged down mercilessly, and then stopped abruptly in a miserable howl.

As for those who accompanied him in the temporary execution site, a dozen new and old ones were cut down, and they also carried all kinds of hideous and distorted human heads. Obviously, they were all in these short two days. The result of the former military law.

"Forgiveness...forgiveness...forgiveness marks incompetence,"

At this time, another general walked tremblingly in front of Zhang Lin, whose face was iron-looking, and he arched his hands without daring to lift his head.

"Although the days of war have defeated the grass thief’s front team, defeated the left wing and dispersed the right wing, but the grass thief’s remaining center and back lines are leaning against the wall and fighting fiercely... The children of all armies did their best It couldn't be broken either..."

"Since Er et al. have done their utmost, it's generally fine now. Huang Ni's grass thief headquarters is already a battle for trapped beasts in a cage, and he will only fall short after his wings are exhausted."

Zhang Lin's expression was somewhat relaxed, and she spoke broadly to him.

"You can slow down a little bit, so that the soldiers can retreat and rest for a while. I will order someone to take over for you..."

"Come here, let those descending troops go into battle again, and then make the tutu and township soldiers in the army the oppressive battle..."

After the general retired, Zhang Lin ordered again.

"Dubing, is this too hasty..."

Another confidant next to him will make some hesitations. As a superintendent, he has seen the miserable appearance of those descending troops in front of the formation, beaten by the raging old comrades.

"It's okay. The purpose of this generation is to tease the grass thief's main formation. It doesn't require much damage, but it can make Huang Ni's department uneasy for a moment..."

Zhang Lin is a confident way.

"Using the native soldiers as a buffer, the troops in this formation will block the periphery, and they will be sent out with flaws. How long can the grass thief last?"

"Report, those descending troops broke out when they touched the enemy, and they have already fled back..."

After the order was passed down, the fighting sounded for a while, and then someone came to report.

"Let the army of the army of the opposing formation implement the military law on the spot... drove them back... the people waiting in the formation also leaned forward..."

Zhang Lin continued to give orders without any surprises.

Then another general galloped up and shouted loudly.

"Report, there were several descendants who mutated right before the battle, and they were fighting with the local army... the grass thieves facing the city took advantage of the momentum to cover up and kill..."

"Come well... this generation of grass thief has no loyalty at all, and repetition is a common thing..."

Zhang Lin was not angry but rejoiced.

"Now just before the battle, they feed me and call out the Huang Ni soldiers who are in formation. I send my order and launch the blockade, so that the standby crossbowmen start to block the array... The Mabu teams are ready to attack. ."

As the banner was shaken and spread, rows of vehicles with vertical baffles and sharp blades emerged from the army formation, and surrounded by many armored spearmen and crossbowmen, they swiftly faced those. In the direction of the collapsing earth group, it slowly advanced and squeezed up.

Let the rout and defeated pawns who were stopped clamor, cry, and plead, and don’t continue to push forward for what they are moved, pierce, knock down, pick up their bodies and leave, leaving behind. Strips of red traces of varying thickness.

Then the dense arrow feathers that followed immediately shot them to the ground along with the grass thieves who were fighting closely behind them. Immediately, from the gaps deliberately left by the two wings of the car-blocking formation, two well-dressed spirit riders galloped like arrows, and after a few breaths, they rushed into the grass thieves who had attacked the array.

Another group of pawns followed them and faced those who had met and supported most of the grass thieves who were trying to come in a bad situation, and completely cut them off and separated them.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lin spit out a long-standing depression. Although his face is calm and natural, it seems that everything is in the process, but in fact, the tenacity and hardship of these stubborn gangsters is beyond his original expectation.

He had planned to fight in front of the battle and wipe out Huang Chao's battle in one go, but under the desperate block and delay of the grass thieves' front team at all costs; he still fell short in making Huang Chao's middle formation complete the lineup to meet. Later, he personally supervised the battle and offered a reward, and it was difficult for him to take turns to besiege for a long time.

On the contrary, several generals he sent to the battlefield were successively defeated by Huang Chao, the pioneer who galloped on the battlefield. Even the veteran of the horse war, Mark Ji, was also seriously injured in the battle, allowing him to rush from the left to the right. And unstoppable.

So he could only take two parallel measures, split a part of the troops to continue to encircle and trap Huangchao's Chinese army, and send a part of his elite soldiers and two thousand fresh troops sent by the court center to cooperate with the peripheral ambushes, one by one. Rout and annihilate the other divisions of the grass thieves.

Therefore, as his strategy came into play, although the grass thieves fought very fiercely in these melees, they were ten, but due to the relatively small number of people and horses, they were in the unfavorable terrain in chaos, and the people were starved and the horses were scarce and the damage was very serious; It was quickly divided into many parts by the army's array, each fighting each other and couldn't care about each other.

And Huang Chao, who was under siege, was able to take the initiative at first, looking for opportunities to kill off the official army many times. However, because the number of grass thieves was at a disadvantage, he was unwilling to fight to the end with the officers and soldiers of a certain Xiang, and quickly turned back to attack the unsteady troops.

Although this can kill more officers and soldiers, it also gives Zhang Lin many opportunities to continue to deploy troops and organize forces to counterattack. So later, as most officers and soldiers got used to this rhythm, the front initiative he held was gradually lost;

As he rushed to the west and continuously rescued the crowds of people surrounded by the official army, the space for active fighting was gradually compressed, and the majority of the closed army was gradually compressed, and he had to abandon the remaining rescue goals and retreat. Hold back under the city wall.

Therefore, he could only abandon his previous plan to accomplish the task in one fell swoop, and he patiently concocted the tens of thousands of Huang Ni headquarters that had been encircled; although during this period, he had arranged for the outskirts. Destroyed and annihilated, several other grass thieves came to rescue and converge; but as time goes by, the advantages and advantages will only be more and more biased towards the Huainan Army.

In fact, apart from the territory restored by the Huainan Army in the north, both Quzhou under the jurisdiction of the Xuanshe Observatory in the east or Jianzhou under the jurisdiction of the Fujian Observatory in the south are already under the control of the officers and soldiers; There are still some signs of grass thieves in Qianzhou and Hongzhou, which are going down to the southwest, but they can't make it into a climate.

At this time, there was once again a clamor and clamor of fighting, and then someone hurried to report.

"Reported for the attack, just now many grass thieves and pawns rushed out from under the west wall of the city, with the flag of Huang Ni and the big buns hidden in them..."

"Okay, great escape, where is Su Kewang, Sun Dingbang, and Zhang Ziyi?"

Zhang Lin, who was wearing a pillow all over his body, couldn't help but straighten up on the leaning rope, laughed a few times, and then called by name.

"The grass thief has entered the middle of the trap. You are deeply graced by the country. I hope you can kill the thief in order to repay the saint."

"If you can catch Huang, Shang and other giants, present them as prisoners, release the nine-fold worries, and revitalize the military and the people, the country should not hesitate to grant the reward. If you dare to fight ineffectively, one thief will slip through the net and make the public. I have given it expediently in front of my own formation, and I will never tolerate it!"

The three generals Su Kewang, Sun Dingbang, and Zhang Ziyi, who were the officials of the battalion soldiers, almost rushed out of the line to answer in unison: "Gang be the order of the army!" go with.

At this time, the night has enveloped the inside and outside of Xinshu Prefecture, but fierce fighting is still going on in many places, and the shouts of killing are shaking the world.

Especially on the other side of the city, another Huainan general, Liang Shimao, pretended to be a grass thief who used the descendant as a forerunner, and the army who broke into the city by breaking into the city and interrupting their retreat was attacking and purging the entrenched Where is the remnant grass thief in the city.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Lin couldn't help but sigh.

"After this battle is over, Chaotang and Ling Gong will have a good night's sleep..."

At this time, Gao Yue, who is beside him, also read the song "Send the General into the Pass to Discuss Thieves" quite appropriate.

"The world relies on martial arts, who is the true male.

If you want to destroy the Yellow Turban thief, you must rely on the black man.

Refers to the star worrying about the country's plan, looking at the air and knowing the sky.

Tomorrow will rise above the clouds, and Qi Jun will make his first contribution. "
