Chapter 169 Partial sacrifice and overall situation
ps: There are only two updates today, but I still ask for favorites and support!
In the past four days, there were 5,000 clicks, 300 recommendations, and more than 30 collections every day. Han, Feng was very touched. Such achievements in streaking were never imagined before. These are everyone’s encouragement to **, Han,
The wind will keep up its efforts. Everyone, continue to support!
"Bang!" Kicked down the enemy in front of him, Qiu Tuwu quickly retreated and swung his sword to block the shot from the side. He turned his wrist and twisted it upward, strode forward, and the sharp scimitar turned into a wisp of fire.
Lightning struck the throats of two Han soldiers.
The bloodthirsty offensive and defensive battle continued on the second day. One after another, the city's defenders fell, and one after another the strong men in the city replaced them. Even the county yamen officials were forced to attack the north gate.
Liang Yongle went to the west gate, and Zhu Biao also dragged his seriously injured body to the east gate.
The corpses under the city were so regretful. The loss for Yifa and his party was not worth it. If they were to charge forward like this now, how could the Han army on the wall resist?
Therefore, Qiu Tukui had no choice but to drag his unhealed body to the city to fight.
The two of them were killed with one knife. Just as they drew their swords and turned around, a young man from the city dressed in cloth came to join them in front. The spear he swung at him flashed coldly in the sun. Qiu Tuyu smiled bitterly, but had no choice but to go forward again. How many of them?
He didn't know whether the young man of the Han army died under his own hands, but he knew very well that he could no longer hold on. Not to mention the unhealed injuries on his body, his endurance had also dropped a lot, and he could already feel the pain in his body.
Fatigue, and the strength in my hands slowly weakening...
The scimitar penetrated deeply into the body of the strong man guarding the city, stabbing him all over. The spurting blood covered Qiu Tuyu's body.
In the eyes of everyone, this Silver Ring Hu General is a bloodthirsty Shura. But in order to defend the city and for the sake of the family in the city, even the king of Shura must be bulldozed.
After being pierced by a knife, the spear in the strong man's hand fell to the ground. He still wanted to stretch out his hands to catch Qiu Tuyu, but he hung down weakly as soon as he reached out halfway. The pain from the long knife caused him to convulse, and his scorched face was too distorted.
It also looked very ferocious.
On the side, a Han army leader watched his brothers fall one by one into Qiu Tukui's hands. He screamed with grief and anger, and struck at him with his Yanling sword.
Qiu Tuwu just turned her body around, and the scimitar in her hand turned into a seductive iron rope, and she kissed the leader's neck...
Zhu Biao saw everything with his eyes, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and he was biting his teeth with hatred. But how could he, who was seriously injured, be the opponent of Qiu Tuwei, his old rival? Now even a second-rate party master can easily deal with it.
Own.
"Isn't Qi Qiuyu here yet?" From the first moment he found out that Qiu Tuyu had arrived in the city, Zhu Biao asked Feng Enjiang to go to Beicheng to call for Qi Qiuyu.
Now, at least forty soldiers and civilians died in Qiu Tukui's hands.
Defending a city is no better than fighting in a battle. For martial arts masters, the power of a city siege is far greater than in a battle.
"Drive by drive..."
Qi Qiuyu was galloping on his horse. Lai Lin Yiqing had thought carefully and planned everything in the city to ensure that the two main roads that crisscrossed the north, south and east could be used to gallop. Otherwise, he could only use his internal energy to use Qinggong to rush over.
With a straight line distance of less than two miles, it was indeed very fast to hit the horse with all his strength. Qi Qiuyu just failed to get away from Beicheng immediately when Feng Enjiang arrived and called, and he was also in a tight situation.
Just when Zhu Biao was still feeling anxious and irritable even though he was at full strength, Qi Qiuyu finally arrived in Dongcheng.
He jumped up directly from the horse, put his toes on the side wall of the stone steps, and landed in front of the city tower in two movements.
"Brother Qi, kill that Yinhuan Hu general -" Zhu Biao shouted with joy.
…………
…………
In the evening, the sun sets in the west.
The afterglow of the setting sun shrouded Lianping County, and the red light made the city, which was already a mountain of corpses and sea of blood, even more bloody.
The setting sun is like blood!
Zhu Biao sat quietly at the head of the east city. He didn't move a single weapon in today's battle, but his heart was heavy and excited compared to when he narrowly escaped death in the Battle of the Queen.
Hu Qi finally retreated, and the rippling dust headed north...
The Han army's formation at forty miles.
Wu Hengfei gathered Zhuang Bingling and Huang Shenggong. Opposite him was Ji Zou, who was chasing after him. No one was winning this battle. Every advance and every retreat was a draw.
"Wu Hengfei, congratulations on acquiring a good general!"
"Haha, my great man's blessings will last for thousands of years!"
"Huh huh, a thousand years? It depends on whether you can live up to the expectations or not. Let's just say goodbye. You and I will meet again in the future -"
"See you later——"
The thundering hooves of the horses left to the north, and Chong'an County finally returned to calm on the Yandong battlefield.
Wu Hengfei didn't even lead his troops and turned around to rest. His stern eyes swept over Huang Shenggong and Zhuang Bingling, and then without saying a word, he led tens of thousands of soldiers to set foot on the road back north to Yancheng.
After seeing Hu Qi's formation, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Hu Qi, who fought for two days under Lian Ping City, didn't get the slightest advantage. He could only fight with the defenders in the city and lose both sides.
But comparing the military strength of both sides, Hu Qi's losses were much greater than those of the Han army.
Discounting Huang Shenggong, Zhuang Bingling's casualties in the fighting here were only about 25,000 for the Hu Qi who were originally more than 30,000. Wu Hengfei weighed the 15,000 soldiers under his command. The pressure was not light, but it was not overwhelming.
live.
The army moves south, and Juyan City's defense is empty. He must quickly return north.
Dejected, heavy-hearted, or perhaps even more depressed, two generals Zhuang Bingling and Huang Shenggong returned to Lianping City with less than 6,000 soldiers, infantry and cavalry like defeated roosters.
Looking at the corpses piled up high outside the city, looking at the mourning flags all over the city, the exhausted soldiers covered in blood, Ding Zhuang who was wrapping his wounds silently, and Zhu Yunhua who was hanging his arms, he was seriously injured.
Zhu Biao, Zhuang Bingling, and Huang Shenggong, who were still worried about the punishment after the war, suddenly felt an endless sense of shame in their hearts.
These are all caused by my own pursuit of credit. Fortunately, the city was not lost. If the city was lost, all the people in the city would be killed. Even if you kill yourself ten times, you will not be able to undo the consequences!
Zhuang Bingling and Huang Shenggong were in despair...
Wu Hengfei didn't say a word to them before leaving, but that doesn't mean he will never say a word. It's just that this battle didn't cause too serious losses. Even Pingcheng was not lost. The consequences were not a big hole that could not be made up. Although the second general
I still have to take responsibility, but I'm not in a hurry now.
Because the war is not over yet, it is not time to reward and punish according to merit.
————————Anji County dividing line————————
Anji County.
At the foot of the county city, Cui Tong, who was covered in blood, his people were blood men and his horses were blood horses, looked at Xu Xu's headquarters riding into the city with a miserable face.
Two thousand men and horses, Huang Shenggong's troops who were put into Anji County had two thousand men and horses, but what about now?
Are half the people still there?
He has 2,000 men, plus another 3,000 cavalrymen from the cavalry school captain. The 5,000 cavalrymen cooperate with the more than 10,000 infantry in the county. The nine county towns are all impregnable, not to mention the guards, but there is no big crisis.
Hu Qi had the initiative and had no choice but to wander around the countryside.
However, as soon as Juyan City was ordered to do so, the five thousand cavalry relying on the city had no choice but to take the initiative and start brutal field battles with the Hu cavalry who were three or four times their size.
This is a very stupid order, but they can only obey it.
The sacrifice of a small part may be for the victory of a large part. Soldiers must understand this truth.
In just a few days, after only six or seven contact battles, Cui Tong's subordinates were left with only this many. The other one also suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, Anji County received a new military order today, otherwise Cui Tong might be single after two or three small battles...
