One hundred and twentieth eight chapters victory and defeat always sometimes
(I have a lot of things to do these two days. I have to participate in an event all day tomorrow. Only one chapter will be released in advance...)
Dong Qifeng!
The twenty people behind Dong Qifeng were all dressed as ordinary thieves, but they were the private elite soldiers of the Cai Mansion that Xu Huai had always wanted to capture but failed to capture.
Tang Xia led a dozen cavalrymen. At this time, he wanted to cut into the enemy's formation from the flank. However, he did not know Dong Qifeng's true face. When he saw a small group of thieves, Kou Buzhan, dared to attack them head on, he was so hunting that he took the lead and stabbed Dong Qifeng in the face.
go.
"Xiao Xia retreats! Tang Xia retreats!"
Xu Huai and Lu Xiong shouted at the same time to remind them, but it was no longer enough. Dong Qifeng smiled ferociously, and his forward body suddenly stopped. He hit Tang Xia's gun blade with his backhand, and then in an instant he hit Tang Xia's gun blade from different angles.
Cutting four swords on the gun shaft, Tang Xia felt that the spear in his hand was entangled with an invisible force.
He was unwilling to abandon his spear and retreat. It was difficult for him to move flexibly while sitting on the saddle. Dong Qifeng's two men on his left and right rushed out at a faster speed. The two long spears were like poisonous snakes spitting tongues, piercing Tang Xia's left and right armpits and chests, and the soldiers and horses on the left and right.
They were all unable to save him, and watched helplessly as the rare young master of Tongbai Mountain was killed by enemy thieves in front of him!
Lu Xiong was still half a step late. He was still ten steps behind, and the sword in his right hand flew out, but was easily knocked down by Dong Qifeng. Twenty people behind Dong Qifeng quickly rushed forward in groups of three, and the sword was shining.
He moved, and with incomparable sharpness, he swooped over the heads of the soldiers who were trying to snatch Tang Xia's body back...
"Master Lu, come here and replace me!"
Xu Huai retreated and retreated, allowing Xu Wukun and Tang Pan to lead the people forward to withstand the swords of Chen Zixiao, Guo Junpan and Pan Chenghu.
He shouted and made Lu Xiong run quickly to take over the space left by his retreat to avoid Xu Wukun and Tang Pan from having another tragedy. He retreated to Zheng Tu, took the short bow, stepped on the stirrup with one foot, and kicked
Half-kneeling to the saddle of the war horse to stabilize his body, he kept taking the feather arrows from Chen Gui's hand behind him, and the random arrows flew towards Dong Qifeng like a violent storm, curbing their crazy speed of harvesting human lives from the left wing.
, helped Xu Sihu stabilize the left wing position.
Xu Huai wanted to suppress the enemy thieves on the left wing with random arrows in his own formation, but he had to expose himself. The thieves' archers in the rear array also opened their bows and shot at him. The arrows were dense like a violent storm, covering him.
There is a "crackling" sound on the wart nails.
In such a violent battle, neither side can last long.
Seeing that Chen Zixiao could not defeat the Huaiyuan soldiers and horses immediately, he argued with Guo Jun. Pan Chenghu naturally lowered his speed and made the soldiers behind him rush forward to fight so that they could get a chance to breathe.
Otherwise they won't be able to sustain it for long.
Dong Qifeng deliberately did not equip his troops with heavy armor in order to disguise themselves and to be able to carry out surprise attacks.
He did not expect that the random arrows Xu Huai shot in the formation were fast, accurate and hard, and the arrows he shot were also violent and ferocious.
Before he took over the shield, an arrow was shot through his leather armor on his left shoulder, forcing him to retreat temporarily; and three people around him were shot directly in the face by random arrows and died in the melee.
The leather armor didn't work at all.
What a terrifying rapid fire of arrows, like a madman.
Dong Qifeng had no choice but to let his men stand firm first. He hid behind the shield formation, his eyes slightly filled with fear that he had not felt for many years.
No wonder Guo Caoling was killed by this man, he was so fierce!
"Yin Peng, don't advance lightly. Keep an eye on that scar-faced thief. If he advances, you come in. If he retreats, you retreat!"
Lu Xiong was coming from the rear to help. Yin Peng, who wanted to lead his troops directly into the enemy's formation, stopped and turned around to see blood seeping out of Xu Huai's right arm. This was caused by the muscle being strained by forcing the bow to be drawn quickly.
I just don't know how serious the injury is.
Although most of the arrows are double volleys and triple volleys of arrows, they can be fired quickly in a very short period of time. In a very short period of time, two bags of feather arrows can be shot into the air in one breath, and the sudden attack launched by Dong Qifeng and others from the left wing can be contained. His right arm must be able to
Even if it's not completely destroyed and it can still hold a longbow, it's already astonishingly strong.
Normally when I see him ejaculating indiscriminately while all the girls scream, I really don’t feel anything.
No matter how strong the armor is, Xu Huai was exposed to a high place for such a long time, and five arrows from the front and back were shot through the gaps in the armor leaves on his left shoulder, right armpit, etc.
Lu Xiong couldn't tell for the time being how deep Xu Huai's arrow wound was, or whether the arrow cluster was stuck in the armor, but Xu Huai could still hold on at this time, so he couldn't ask these details in front of the generals.
So as not to disturb the morale of the army.
He just took over the command here to give Xu Huai more time to breathe.
However, the rebel army has gathered too many elites in this direction, so they can only return to normal tactical choices, focusing on Chen Zixiao, Dong Qifeng, Guo Junpan, Pan Chenghu and others.
If they move, their offensive must be contained at all costs; if they retreat, this side must seize every opportunity to breathe, reorganize the front line, and bring in more elites from the rear.
At other times, ordinary soldiers can only be allowed to fight on the front line of the battle, wearing out and slowing down the pace of the battle.
They must also hold on here in exchange for Xu Wujiang and Deng Gui to achieve decisive results in the other two directions.
…………
…………
No one can imagine that the decisive battle between the Huaiyuan Township Camp and the Huangqiao Village bandits would break out so fiercely and violently.
The bandits first gathered their elite troops into the main stronghold. After the decisive battle began, they immediately attacked the Huaiyuan soldiers and horses heading northeast with unimaginable violence. Wave after wave of attacks, the front of the soldiers was like a sharp sword.
The sharp blade peeled off the Huaiyuan soldiers and horses in this direction layer by layer and chopped them into pieces.
Xu Xin'an, Yin Peng, Tang Pan, Tang Qing and others had been fighting with Xu Huai for several months. This time they really experienced the brutality of a duel. They all thought they couldn't hold on any longer.
However, in addition to the presence of strong men like Xu Huai and Lu Xiong, the Xiandeng camp built with Xu clan soldiers as the core was stronger and more stable than they imagined.
Swords, spears and shields are so stable in the hands of ordinary soldiers with simple faces.
They can't play such fancy tricks as the second stage of Jin and the third stage of Jin, and their strength can't be said to be extremely strong, but the offensive and defensive consciousness of advancing and retreating together, and living and dying together seems to be ingrained in their bones.
Experts like Chen Zixiao and Dong Qifeng can strike with a sword that weighs more than a thousand pieces. If one person can't carry it, two people will carry it, three people will carry it, a shield, two, three, three or four spears and spears gathered together. Chen Zi
Xiao, Dong Qifeng really dared to risk his injuries in exchange for death?
Xu Wukun, Xu Xin'an, Tang Pan, Yin Peng, Zhong He, Tang Qing and others are not yet top-notch in skill, but there are always one or two groups of three or five people around them, and they have strong offensive and defensive awareness to advance and retreat together, making them
Just like the indestructible black rocks in the splashing torrent, they withstood the bandits' attacks one after another like a violent storm.
Unable to defeat the first camp in one step, the will to resist was difficult to shake. Chen Zixiao soon had to rotate the soldiers on the front line to engage in a war of attrition, fight a protracted war, and slow down the frontal offensive, otherwise they would have to
I can't hold it any longer.
In the two directions from the southwest to Dixi Xiaozhai and the north to Diqianzhai, even if the Huaiyuan Township Camp urgently withdraws some of its elite troops to strengthen the frontal resistance of the First Deng Camp, the Huaiyuan Township Camp always maintains
relative advantage.
The tug-of-war continued until noon. Xu Wujiang personally deployed his troops and was the first to defeat the bandits in the direction of the enemy's front stronghold. The victory was sealed at this moment.
Chen Zixiao and Dong Qifeng could not see the possibility of defeating Huaiyuan's first camp in a short time, and even gave up the direction of Xixiaozhai. The remnant army that was cut off by Huaiyuan's first camp finally rushed to Xuwujiang, and Deng Gui personally led the two troops.
Before the soldiers and horses surrounded him, he resolutely led the remaining rebel troops in the direction of the main village, bypassed Huangqiao Village, and fled directly into the depths of the North Ridge of Tongbai Mountain through the trail west of Huangqiao Village.
The trail leads to the old village of Huaidu. The entrance is very narrow and the terrain is dangerous.
Except for the main battle direction where Xu Huai and Lu Xiong were stationed, the Huaiyuan Township Battalion was also fighting for half a day in the other two directions. Almost all the generals took turns to fight two or three times, and they were all exhausted.
Xu Huai, Lu Xiong, Tang Pan, Xu Xin'an and others were all unable to fight anymore - Xu Huai was not seriously injured. Five arrow wounds were caused by arrow clusters being stuck in armor leaves, and they did not penetrate deeply into the flesh. However, he stopped once or twice.
All the while, my muscles were convulsing with severe pain.
In the first camp since Tang Xia, fifty people were killed and more than a hundred injured. Zhong He, Han Qi, Zhou Jianxiong and others were all seriously injured; while in the Huaiyuan Township camp, infantry were killed in this direction.
There were more than 160 sword and shield bearers - more than 300 people died in the Huaiyuan Township camp on the entire battlefield. It can be said that this was the most brutal battle in the bandit rebellion till now.
Of course, the results are also brilliant.
In addition to successfully regaining the Huangqiao villages and opening up the westward passage, they also beheaded Zhou Tian and Niu Guai, two second-class bandit generals, in front of the formation, killing, wounding, and capturing more than 1,200 bandits.
Except for some bandits who scattered and fled into the surrounding mountains, almost four hundred remaining bandits followed Chen Zixiao, Dong Qifeng and others from the west of Huangqiao Village into the depths of Beiling.
This group of remnant bandits is the most powerful in combat.
At present, Xu Huai cannot take the lead in the camp and serve as the vanguard with elite combat forces. Deng Gui and Xu Wujiang do not dare to lightly enter Beiling to pursue the remaining bandits.
After a short rest, Deng Gui and Xu Wujiang gathered 800 soldiers and horses at dusk, planning to march west along the horse road overnight to respond to the prefect Chen Shi. However, the defeated troops from the west brought 3,000 state soldiers to Litang at noon.
News that the stronghold was defeated by Gao Xiangzhong and Zhong Changqing's troops.
Chen Shi, the governor of the state, Zhu Tong, the lieutenant of Biyang County, and other officials did not know whether they were alive or dead.
Even though he expected that the rebel army had the strength to set up ambushes at both ends, Xu Huai remained silent as to the eventual destruction of the state soldiers in Litang Village.
He still did not attend the urgent military meeting convened by Deng Gui. He was injured and stood on the watchtower of Huangqiao Village, looking at the setting sun like blood.
Although this battle was very cruel and the victory could only be described as a miserable victory, it was very necessary.
If not, even if the Huaiyuan Township camp remains stationary, after the rebel army defeats the state soldiers, they will become more aggressive and eager to attack the Huaiyuan Township camp from the east. At that time, a fierce battle will still be necessary to blunt their edge.
This is an inevitable battle.
"..."
Several fast horses surrounded a simple carriage and came quickly from the east. Seeing that the first two knights were Xu Wuliang and Yin Peng, Xu Huai paused and did not go down the watchtower.
Since the establishment of the Xiandeng camp, it has been a smooth battle, but today, in addition to Tang Xia who died directly on the battlefield, another rising star in Huaiyuan, Zhou Jianxiong, was also stabbed in the chest by Chen Zixiao.
Yin Peng and Zhou Jianxiong had a deep brotherhood. Regardless of his own injuries, he rushed to Jinshagouzhai to report the news at noon, hoping to pick up Zhou Jianxiong's parents and rush to see them one last time. However, Zhou Jianxiong had closed his eyes half an hour ago.
Fifty-two people died in the battle of Xiandeng Camp. Counting those with serious injuries, the number was close to half. The Xu clan soldiers accounted for less than half of the Xiandeng Camp, but due to the strong offensive and defensive awareness of the army, in this battle
The battle was also under the greatest pressure. A total of nineteen people died in the battle, and nine people were seriously injured or likely to be left disabled. The casualty ratio was more than half.
Under such circumstances, even if Xu Huai still had some strength left at noon, he had no intention of leading his troops into Beiling to pursue the remaining bandits again. The rural soldiers had the duty to defend the territory, but the bandits came to resist and expel them, but they did not suppress the bandits.
Responsibility.
What's more, even if the Huaiyuan Township Camp is at full strength, if Chen Zixiao and others see the opportunity and lead the bandit army to escape from Tongbai Mountain, the Huaiyuan Township Camp will have no right to cross the border before receiving a call from the prefecture, county or even Lu Si.
combative.
However, Xu Huai had no intention of meeting Zhou Jianxiong and others' parents who came to collect the body. He had to learn to have a heart of stone.
This fierce battle killed and injured five to six hundred people. In the catastrophic disaster that is likely to come in the first year of Jianhe, how many more people will be killed and injured to prevent the entire Central Plains from becoming a horse breeding land ravaged by aliens?
