Chapter 3481: Lower your head and raise your head
Wu Ming was injured all over his body, his left arm had been knocked by a blunt weapon, and he could only hang down to his side. The arrow rod on his calf also made it difficult for him to move. The blood flowing from his chest had already been stained with the battle robe. Almost everyone around him was injured, but even so, he still limped and fought hard in a small area with Wu Ming!
At the feet of these Hussars are blood and corpses, like an insurmountable wall forged by courage and faith!
The power gradually lost from Wu Ming's body, which made him a little dizzy, and even the enemy in front of him began to appear.
There were shouting everywhere, and Wu Ming couldn't tell whether it was the Cao army soldiers in front of him calling or the Hussar soldiers following him shouting. A Hussar soldiers rushed up and fought side by side with Wu Ming and others. He didn't care how many Cao army there were in front of him, and didn't care whether anyone was following him!
Wu Ming and others didn’t know whether they could win or how long they would need to fight here. They just understood one thing, even if they died here, they had to face the enemy!
In his blurred vision, Wu Ming saw a black shadow rushing towards him, unable to see clearly, but the swords and guns in the shadow's hand shone with a cold light in the fire and blood!
Wu Ming twisted his body and dodged the spear from the black shadow, and then tried to clamp the spear with his folded left arm, but found that his injured arm could not use any force at all. He was broken free by the other party, and his body was unstable and almost fell to the ground.
A Hussar soldier beside Wu Ming pushed Wu Ming with his shoulder, causing Wu Ming to restore balance, but he was slashed on his chest by the enemy, pulled out a spark and was cut to the ground.
Seeing the black shadow taking a step, as if he wanted to trample on his comrades beside him, Wu Ming quickly raised his foot and kicked the black shadow's opponent in the lower gear exposed by the step. He immediately bent down in pain, and then slashed the black shadow's neck with a knife, bringing out a bunch of blood!
The Cao army soldier screamed and grabbed the sword in Wu Ming's hand and refused to let go. Wu Ming pulled it hard, but was stuck by the bones of the Cao army soldier. Wu Ming really didn't have much strength and couldn't pull it out, so he had to stir it horizontally. The warm blood immediately splashed and sprayed on Wu Ming's face.
"happy!"
Wu Ming wanted to laugh, but could only let out a hoarse roar. He subconsciously swallowed the blood sprayed on his face. The thirst caused by the loss of blood in his body had completely ignored the stench of the blood. Not to mention blood, if there was a mouthful of mud at this time, he would swallow it without hesitation.
The last little energy he had almost exhausted, and the rest was this kind of survival instinct.
Suddenly, Wu Ming found that the opponent in front of him had clearly rushed in front of him, but he retreated!
The Cao army soldiers clearly showed a look of fear, staring at him as if they had seen a ghost.
Wu Ming's heart moved, he stretched out his tongue, licking the blood stained on his face...
Sure enough, the Cao army soldier took a step back again.
When Wu Ming tentatively stabbed the remaining limbs on the ground with a knife and put them on his mouth and bit them, the Cao army soldier obviously collapsed, shouting, "Ah, something," and then turned around and ran back.
Perhaps the Cao army soldiers were really scared, perhaps because they had fought to the point where the Cao army soldiers only wanted to find an excuse, or perhaps for some other reason. Anyway, a Cao army soldier called a ghost and led the other Cao army soldiers to retreat. After a while, the other Cao army soldiers also retreated one after another, giving Wu Ming and others a rare chance to breathe!
The shaking Hussars stood firm and laughed at the Cao army soldiers.
The soldiers of Cao's army became more and more frightened...
In this short interval, there were gradually more Hussar soldiers rushing up from behind, one, two, and three, and then they formed a queue and formed an array. Wu Ming and others were gradually covered by the newly arrived Hussar soldiers, and then someone brought Wu Ming and others back and bandaged and treated.
『Good man!』
"amazing!"
『Good like!』
Every Hussar soldiers who passed by Wu Ming and others couldn't help but praise him and then walked forward with great pride.
They were proud to have comrades like Wu Ming, and they felt that they would not let down the persistence and expectations of Wu Ming and others, so they raised their heads and went up!
If you look at whether a team, an organization, or a group has hope, you can see the people at the bottom of this group. If these people have smiles on their faces and their heads are raised, then they are mostly full of vitality and vigorous. On the contrary, if they all lower their heads, shrink their necks, and look listless, even if they don’t collapse, they will not be far away.
The soldiers of Cao's army are now all lowering their heads and shrank their heads.
Even though Dong Zhao changed from an order to a plea, they still lowered their heads.
In life, everyone has time to ask for help.
But most of the time, people pray to the superiors.
It's like ancient humans praying to the gods.
Dong Zhao has not prayed for many years. Even when he worshipped his ancestors and emperors in Shandong, he was just a formality, not a prayer. Because when he was very young, Dong Zhao knew that it was better to seek others than to seek others. He studied hard, recited scriptures, and mastered knowledge, so that one day he could become an official.
When he becomes an official, most of the time, others come to ask him, and he only needs to be responsible to his superiors. The superiors will not need Dong Zhao to pray, but only need Dong Zhao to do things, solve problems, or solve the people who have problems.
Dong Zhao has done a good job in all these things.
So Dong Zhao once thought that he didn't have to ask others for help, but only needed himself.
So Dong Zhao looked down on those who begged him, thinking that if he had known this, why should he have been? If he wanted to not ask for help, why not work hard? He thought that those who begged were lazy, stupid, and incompetent, but at this moment, Dong Zhao turned his begging eyes to the lower-ranking people, begging to his men and those ordinary Cao soldiers...
Dong Zhao prayed that these Cao army soldiers would suffer more, endure them again, persevere, sacrifice and sacrifice. He completely forgot how indifferent he ignored him when a lower-ranking man asked him for his place.
Before, he said that he had submitted an order and everything was arranged by the superiors. He was just the handling staff. He was also very innocent and helpless. If you have any questions, please go to the superiors.
Now, his order cannot give him any help. Only these "guardians" in front of him are his real support!
Unfortunately, most of his "supers" were not caring about it before, and even those "supers" who only existed in the numbers in his books were avoiding his prayers and looking at him indifferently, just as he was also looking at these "supers" so indifferently back then.
"The Hussars are all ghosts, evil ghosts! If you can't fight, you can't win..."
Seeing this, Dong Zhao's guards responded somewhat so that they would not be too embarrassed.
"Ghost?! Nothing is there?!" Dong Zhao was in tears, "It's all human beings! It's all human beings!"
"Isn't it all the rumors before that the cavalry is the reincarnation of an evil ghost, and cannibalize the heart and liver..."
"Yes, I really saw them eating people!"
"A sip of human blood will make you more force, and a bite of human flesh will make you feel better!"
"Yes, I really can't beat it, I can't beat it!"
『…』
Dong Zhao closed his eyes and shook it in pain.
He knew the rumors, but before that, he felt that there was no need to explain, and even felt that such rumors were conducive to rule and the unity of Shandong.
But now when he wanted to explain, he realized that it was too late.
The shrill shouts from other areas of Zhongtiaoshan Camp and the cheers of the cavalry soldiers came here at the same time, and reached Dong Zhao's ears, which also made the Cao soldiers around him look at each other.
A guard next to Dong Zhao finally couldn't help but fall to the ground: "Military advisor! These cavalry troops are all reincarnated by evil spirits! We can't stop them, we can't stop them! Military advisor, retreat... Let's take advantage of the fact that we can still escape now!"
Dong Zhao was furious and stepped forward and kicked the kneeling guard to the ground, "The lord entrusted me with a heavy responsibility! How can you retreat lightly! If you insult the morale of the army again, you will be killed at your head!"
The guard was kicked and didn't stand up. He just lay on the ground and still howled, "It's not that I can't wait and do my best! Military advisor, look at how many of our brothers died?! It's not that we don't fight, but that the cavalry is too cruel!"
"Can't retreat!" Dong Zhao howled, and the stable aura in his daily life disappeared. "There are still thousands of elite soldiers in Zhongtiaoshan camp, with bows, arrows and equipment in place, and the top and bottom are united to protect the Central Army camp! At this time, the Cavalry Army was at the end of its strength. As long as we withstand the current wave of Cavalry, by dawn, the Cavalry Army had to retreat on its own! Now we can only fight to the death, fight to the death!"
When everyone heard that Dong Zhao was so generous, they did not look excited, but were just indifferent and silent.
"Ah?" Dong Zhao looked around, but saw everyone's expressions, and begged again, "Just hold on! Again..."
Dong Zhao's words were interrupted by the howling of the messenger who came in a hurry, "No! No! The cavalry army broke through the central camp! The cavalry army broke through the central camp! Our army was dispersed! Dispersed!"
This shrill shout suddenly came down like a gust of cold water, pouring the only little flame of hope in everyone's hearts through the light!
The yelling sounds in the distance are getting louder and closer!
The guard lying on the ground rolled up, knelt down and hugged Dong Zhao's legs, "Military advisor! It's no longer possible! You must make a decision early!"
The guard didn't hold him too hard, but this time Dong Zhao didn't continue to kick him. After a while, Dong Zhao sighed to the sky and burst into tears, "I'm sorry lord! I'm sorry lord!"
...
...
Just when the order of the Zhongtiaoshan camp collapsed and the morale of the army was declining and retreating, Cao Cao stood on the bank of the river and faced Zhang Liao and his troops.
Countless burning torches piled up on the battlefield, and the flames swayed, reflecting the rivers and rivers on the side, making them look particularly desolate.
The shouts of killing echoed in the night, mixed with the surging sound of the river, making this originally ordinary night unusual.
The soldiers of Cao's army kept mobilizing in the night, and teams of people filled in, while the injured and dead soldiers were also carried down like flowing water.
Compared with the Zhongtiaoshan camp, soldiers directly under Cao Cao's headquarters will always be treated better.
The stone cannons originally set up on the earthen plateau to surprise the cavalry army were not large because Cao Zhang and Liu Fu were defeated too quickly, and the assembly was not carefully enough, so that half of them had fallen apart due to high-intensity projection.
No one goes to practice, and there is no time to practice.
All the craftsmen gathered at the remaining stone cannons and fired stone bullets desperately.
Read the Error-free version in 69 Book Bar! 6=9+ Book_Bar's first release of the novel.
In the night, although there was a guide to the fire, the stone cannon was really not accurate. The stone bullet shot out could only be a rough range. No one knew whether the stone bullet fell, whether it hit the cavalry, or fell on the heads of Cao's own soldiers.
From the afternoon, part of Zhang Liao's army arrived here and began to fight with Cao's army.
Many of the horses set up around have been destroyed, and many of the trenches dug out were only half dug.
Cao's army did not have enough time to complete the arrangement.
Lao Cao was helpless, but there was nothing he could do.
Unlike Zhongtiaoshan Camp and Tongguan Camp, the battlefield here is not selected in advance, but is determined only after the current situation. In addition, the amount of manpower under Cao Cao is now much worse than before, and the captured civilians and labor service in Shandong are basically squandered.
It is already very good to be able to build this way in a short period of time.
However, for the Cavalry Army, such defense is obviously not enough.
Under the fire, the Hussar soldiers broke through here like a torrent, and rushed towards them. The three-colored flags appeared in the night, fluttering with blood and fire!
The arrows and crossbows of both sides intertwined in the night, as if they were not exhausted.
Since the death battle, the Cao army has known that if the cavalry rushed to Cao Cao's central army, whether it was chopped down Cao Cao or the flag of Cao Cao, it would mean the complete collapse of Cao Cao. The general is the courage of the army and loses the main flag, which will not only lose the authority to dispatch and command, but will also cause the morale of the entire army to collapse and order.
If Cao Cao could not guard this place, it would mean that he could not guard the last few floating bridges, and the last retreat of Zhongtiaoshan Camp would be cut off!
Cao Cao defended the center line, and Cao Hong attacked on the side line.
Similarly, Zhang Liao of the Cavalry Army marched on the middle line, Zhu Ling and Ma Yue attacked from the flanks, and the two sides fought in the wilderness at night. There were fighting battles of all sizes everywhere between mountains, rivers and earth plateaus. One of the two sides was desperately trying to break into the central army formation that defeated Cao Cao, and the other was desperately trying to block the advance of the Cavalry Army.
This kind of night battle has always been the most tragic death fight.
Due to insufficient light and the limitations of communication methods, the formations of both sides cannot be controlled, and it is nothing more than fighting for people and exchanging lives for life!
The casualties of soldiers on both sides were soaring rapidly. Before the final end, no one could know how many people would fall in this night's desperate melee!
Cao Cao had already visited the front line in person, standing under the banner of flying flags, with dozens of drums beating around him deafeningly.
The generals of the Cao army's military academy were snatched away in blood and passed by Cao Cao.
Many Cao's generals took their last breath in front of Cao Cao.
Many of them are Cao Cao's fellow villagers, Cao Cao's clan members, and soldiers whom Cao Cao followed when he started his rebellion.
Cao Cao watched these military generals die and injured, and tears rolled down his eyes, but his head was still high, his short body stood straight, and his red and black cloak rolled in the cold wind, like endless sadness.
Another wave of attack by the Cavalry Army was carried by Cao's army, but the soldiers on the Cao army's front were also in ruins.
The remaining soldiers desperately pulled their wounded comrades back, but were stopped by the military commander in Cao's army.
The remaining military academy generals were Chen Liu, and they were the core of the Cao army.
The military academy was also full of wounds, with wounds on his face, hands and legs. Some were wrapped in cloth strips, while others were not available for bandage. They cracked like babies' mouths, and their flesh was squirming. They didn't know when the helmet fell, their hair was disheveled, and they cried and begged.
The military academy in charge also felt unbearable and turned around and looked at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao lowered his head slightly and walked up to him.
The retreating military academy fell to the ground with a thud and cried bitterly, "Lord! Lord! The boys have tried their best! They have tried their best! Two hundred subordinates are only less than eighty! More than half are gone! None! Let them retreat and take a breath! Lord! These are all good men, so good boys!"
Everyone around Cao Cao focused on him.
The sound of fighting, ramming, screaming, and drumming around the surroundings seemed to be to completely cut, stir, grind, grind this area of ​​the world, and the lives of people in this area until they were powdered!
Cao Cao walked to the retreating military academy, helped the retreating military academy up, then straightened his head, bent down deeply, and bowed to the ground!
"Lord! The lord is not allowed!" The retreating military academy quickly avoided it.
Cao Cao pulled him and walked to the retreating remnants. "You are all heroes! You should be worshipped by Cao!"
Cao Cao bowed again.
The remaining soldiers who were crying gradually stopped howling and whining, and looked at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao raised his head, but shed tears, "I'm not sad for all the casualties, all the injuries? Some of you are my fellow villagers, some of you are my old acquaintances for many years, but now you are buried in this loess river! How painful! How painful!
Cao Cao beat his chest, "If you are fighting for Cao, don't say you are going to retreat and rest, you will retreat immediately, and you will admit it! But it is not right now! You are fighting for the fortune of the Han Dynasty! Fight for the future of the country! Fight for the Central Plains of Shandong, for your hometown! Cao can retreat, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the country of the Han Dynasty, how can you retreat?! How can you retreat?!"
"Cao here swears! Regardless of life and death, parents, parents, wives, and parents! As long as you have a bite of food, all parents and wives will have a bite of food! As long as you have a robe, all parents and wives will not be afraid of the cold!"
"The great Han fortune and the future of Shandong are all in your hands!"
"If you will die in this battle, then you can take the lead! Cao will come afterwards!"
"If you don't die in this battle, then you can protect your luck in Shandong and enjoy wealth and prosperity! Benefit your descendants!"
"This oath!"
『Heaven and earth can be seen!』
The retreating principal exhaled a long breath and kowtowed in front of Cao Cao, "Lord! Subordinate...good goodbye!"
Cao Cao stepped forward, took off his cloak, and put it on the military academy with his own hands, "Don't let the people in Guanzhong see me as no heroes in Shandong!"
