Chapter 457(2/3)
Yang Xuan, who had experienced the battle with Beiliao, could calmly watch the changes in the current battle situation.
Zhou Jun is very fierce.
Waves of waves rushed forward.
Nan He said: "If those people in Chang'an who look down on Southern Zhou come to see this battle, I think it will scare their courage!"
"There is no shortage of warriors in the Southern Zhou Dynasty!" Lin Feibao expressed a rare opinion.
Bai Xiong thought so too.
"One wave after another, it should be like a wave, rushing up wave after wave!"
This was the method he prepared for the Tang army.
"The Tang Army was tired from afar, and Zhang Huan wanted his men to rest for a few days, but I never got what he wanted! In a hurry, the exhausted Tang Army soldiers were able to withstand it at first. Look at the sun..."
Everyone looked at the sky, their eyes stung by the sun wanting to cry.
"This is a rare hot weather. Our army can adapt to it, but the Tang army may not."
"This is the right time!"
"Looking around, it's quite flat. It's most suitable for large groups of people to fight. This is a good location."
"Behind us is Yongzhou, after Yongzhou is Yingshui, and Bianjing is right behind Yingshui. We have no way to retreat! We can only fight to the death with the Tang army. This is harmony!"
Bai Xiong's voice was loud, "I have the right time, the right place, the right people, and all the people in my hands. How can I not win this battle?"
He saw with satisfaction that the faces of his generals turned red, and confidence grew in their hearts like weeds.
The two sides continued to attack each other's array, and the Tang army broke through from time to time, only to be squeezed out by the Zhou army again.
"Who said Zhou's army was weak?"
Zhou Zun looked solemn, "In order to protect his wife, children and home, a coward will become a warrior. The government should not underestimate the enemy!"
If the central government does not underestimate the enemy, then the preparations for this southern expedition will be more detailed, the troops will be more abundant, and the food and grass will be more.
Zhang Huan squinted his eyes and looked forward and said: "You can't retreat even one step at this moment. Warn all the troops. The generals will be in front. If the main general dies, the deputy general will come up. The deputy general will die in battle and the others will come up."
"yes!"
"This is a battle of wills, we can't take a step back!" On the opposite side, Bai Xiong also ordered the same.
At the front, both sides continued to throw their troops into the front line like a meat grinder.
The people who had just rushed up to kill were turned into corpses in an instant.
A sergeant of the Zhou army howled and shouted: "A'niang! A'niang!", while wailing, he turned around.
"Kill him!"
A general shouted sharply.
Arrows flew towards him, and the sergeant fell to the ground, with a look of relief on his face.
"Aunt..."
Amid the murmur, a foot stepped heavily on his face.
Those eyes gradually lost their luster.
The sun moved slowly towards the top of the head, and the grass in the area was drooping, unable to withstand the blazing heat.
However, more than 200,000 people from both armies were fighting risklessly.
"It's so tragic!"
Chang Mu was shaken when he saw it.
The same was true for Zhou Zun. As the head of the Zhou family, he could ignore life and death. But when the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people appeared before his eyes, he suddenly found that some of his views had changed.
"This is what it looks like when the country is in chaos."
Chang Mu nodded, "Historical books record what it was like when the world was in chaos. Killing people filled the country. But what does killing people mean? When I think about it, I can see the corpses everywhere. After looking at these today, I know that this is called killing people.
wild."
"Our army is a little tired." Zhou Zun discovered this problem.
Zhang Huan also saw it.
Bai Xiong on the opposite side also felt it.
"The Tang army is tired!" Bai Xiong smiled and said, "Continue to attack."
The Zhou army burst out with surprising fighting spirit, and every sergeant rushed to kill them bravely. The Tang army on the opposite side could only parry for a while.
"Breaked through!"
someone exclaimed.
Yang Xuan saw that a gap had been opened in the left wing array by the Zhou army. Dozens of tall and powerful Zhou army soldiers were widening the gap. Once successful, the subsequent Zhou army would flood in like a flood.
Zhang Huan's eyes moved.
This is the critical moment!
Who dares to ask for help?
No one avoided his gaze.
Yang Xuan raises his hand!
Zhang Huan glanced at him and said, "Yang Xuan!"
"The official is here!"
"Stop the gap."
"Take orders!"
Yang Xuan rushed over with his infantry.
Zhou Zun looked at him and whispered: "Zitai takes care of the overall situation."
"He has the air of a general." Chang Mu said, "At this time, he is a guest general and does not need to stand out."
If you can take the initiative to ask for help, there is no doubt that you are generous.
The warriors of the Zhou army were rejoicing in their breakthrough, and someone shouted: "The enemy is coming."
Yang Xuan rushed forward with his guards.
The shadow of the gun danced, and the two warriors in front spun and flew back.
A big man rushed up, waving the iron rod in his hand, and the strong and fearless soldiers of the Zhou army who were wearing heavy armor were beaten to the point where their bones were broken and their muscles were broken, and they howled incessantly.
Uda, with his guards behind him, shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
These were all sharp archers, and a wave of arrows killed the following Zhou troops.
The gap is blocked.
"Why!"
Zhou Junzhongjun let out a sigh.
"Who is it?" This was the best opportunity since the war started, but it was successfully blocked by the Tang army. Bai Xiong was inevitably a little disappointed.
A general said: "It's Yang Ziqi!"
"Yang Xuan?"
"That's right, some of his men were big men, armed with iron rods, and they killed so many warriors in Zhou Dynasty!"
Bai Xiong narrowed his eyes and watched, and the trusted general beside him said: "The Tang army is tired, but its will is tenacious. Our army has been attacking for half an hour, and its morale is gradually declining. If we continue... we are afraid that our strength will not be enough!"
This is how an army fights. When the morale rises, then the morale is like a rainbow and they charge all the way. But when the morale drops, the general has to assess the situation and make the most advantageous choice.
"How about stabilizing first?" the general said, "withdraw a section first, then reorganize the team, and rest for a while. We will look at the movements of the Tang army before making a decision. If something is not right... I think it will be okay to fight again another day."
Tang Jun's tenacity also exceeded Zhou Jun's expectations.
Bai Xiong shook his head, "If we retreat at this moment, Zhang Huan dares to risk the risk of the army being scattered and attack with his entire army, ending this battle with a chaotic battle."
"It's too risky!"
"Don't forget, back then Zhang Huan was clamoring to destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then use all his strength to deal with the existence of Beiliao. This kind of people, even if they have been dormant for many years, when the opportunity arises, the blood in their bones will drive them to do something
Make the craziest choices.”
Bai Xiong shook his head, "I have an army of more than 100,000 in my hands, and Bianjing is behind me. Any decision must be made with great caution."
The general smiled bitterly, "This is like fighting with shackles!"
"Who says it isn't?"
Bai Xiong's eyes became more gloomy.
News came from Bianjing the day before yesterday that the New Party...that is, the New Deal faction impeached Peng Jing and Fang Chong, saying that they were responsible for the loss of troops and generals and the loss of three states since the beginning of the war.
Fortunately, the emperor knew that the morale of the army could not be shaken before a battle, so he suppressed it forcefully.
To be continued...
