Chapter 426: The soldiers of Liangzhou died without regrets
Since the first battle.
The Wei army in the southern chamber launched many attacks one after another.
But because Liangzhou soldiers have sky fire and thunder, and there is also an arrow formation.
Often, before Nanshi Wei's army could rush forward, the army formation responsible for the charge would suffer heavy losses and had to be withdrawn and replaced.
At this time, the words "river of blood in the canyon" are no longer enough to describe the brutality of the war.
At the mountain pass, the corpses of Wei Jun from the South Chamber of Commerce that had not been cleared were piled high on top of each other.
The blood has long since gathered into a river, flowing to low-lying areas.
Arrows covered almost the entire ground, and there was no place to set foot in many places.
After such a bloody battle, Nanshi Weijun was completely frightened by the sky fire thunder.
After that, they stopped attacking and instead blocked the only entrance and exit of the mountain col, building fortifications to trap the Liangzhou soldiers.
Their purpose is already obvious.
That is to trap the soldier in front of him alive.
This time, Li Chengqian came with the attitude of sneak attack.
Although he asked the soldiers under his tent to bring food, it could only last for more than ten days.
It took them nearly twelve days to get here through the Daxianbei Mountains, and almost all the food was eaten.
Even the last dry food in the hands of many soldiers was eaten up.
If next, they cannot successfully break through.
Then if the enemy attacks again, they will have to fight hungry.
But the current situation is really embarrassing.
Because the Liangzhou soldiers were struck by sky fire and thunder, Nan Shiwei was unable to break into the valley to fight with the Liangzhou soldiers.
However, because the number of Liangzhou soldiers was too small, they were unable to break through the defense line of the Nanshi Wei army from the front, so they had to spend time with the Nanshi Wei army here.
After these days of fighting, the Liangzhou soldiers were already numb.
Some soldiers dragged their tired bodies to places that were not covered by the arrows of the Wei army in the southern chamber, and scattered them. The arrows from everywhere were gathered together.
Now they are in an isolated and helpless state, with no resources to waste. If they gather one more arrow, they can cause one more damage to the enemy.
Li Chengqian, Changsun Chong, Cheng Huailiang, and several captains gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"Most of the soldiers in the army now have nothing to eat."
"This is an extremely critical period for us and a challenge for each of us."
Li Chengqian raised his eyes and looked at the surrounding mountains and the Nanshi Wei soldiers who were building fortifications, and said, "There are only two roads in front of us now."
"One is to lead the army to fight out from here before the enemy has organized and completed the defense fortifications."
"The second is to find a skilled brother to find a place to crawl out, and find a way to find a large force so that they can come and rescue us."
"Of course, no matter what it is, we must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to wait for our compatriots to collect the corpses for us after the war is over."
Hearing this, one of the thousand captains said in a loud voice: "If we ask brothers to come over for support at this time, I am afraid that we will lose face to my grandma's family. So I think that if we fall into the hole dug by ourselves, we will have to do it."
Climb out by yourself, if His Highness wants to break through, we are willing to be the vanguard."
"That's right."
Cheng Huailiang also said: "If we fall into our own pit, we have to climb out by ourselves. If His Highness wants to break out, I, Xiao Cheng, am willing to be the vanguard and rush to the front of the army."
"Listen to what you are saying, don't I, the chief culprit who dug the hole, want to break into the battle alone?"
Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said, "But what you said makes some sense. Huai Liang and Brother Chong will go to collect food and drink for the whole army in a while. We must ensure that everyone can eat, even if it is just a few bites."
After saying this, Li Chengqian looked around at the crowd and said
: "Now the order is given. The whole army will rest for an hour. After one hour, the whole army will break out."
"Everyone must remember that this breakout will be a breakthrough at any cost. It will be as powerful as a tiger at one go, then it will weaken again, and three times it will be exhausted."
"Even if we all die on the way to charge, we can't turn back once. Do you understand?"
"clear……"
Everyone agreed in unison and immediately went down to prepare.
An hour later, the Liangzhou soldiers who were trapped in the canyon reorganized their army and began to march towards the mouth of the canyon.
This time, the defending party changed from Liangzhou soldiers to Nanshi Wei army.
The scene that happened to Wei Jun in the South Chamber also began to play out in the Northwest Army.
The Liangzhou soldiers who rushed to the front of the military formation were first hit by the enemy's dense arrows.
More than a thousand Liangzhou soldiers were hit by two waves of arrows before they came into contact with the enemy, and nearly 30% of their soldiers were lost.
At this time, in the canyon, Liangzhou soldiers who were shot into hedgehogs and fell to the ground unwillingly...
But at this point in the war, the soldiers on both sides have become numb from fighting.
At the beginning, the archers of the Wei army in Nanshi would also aim deliberately.
Later, the archers of the Wei army in the southern chamber simply took out their arrows and fired.
Nowadays, even they are unwilling to look into the valley.
I'm afraid that the Shura field in the Buddhist scriptures is inferior to the scene in this valley.
But the war has only just begun.
Soon the arrow formation of the Liangzhou soldiers also began to rise from the camp and fell into the formation of the Wei army in the southern chamber.
This is completely a war of exchanges. You kill me, and I kill you.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the number of dead on both sides exceeded a thousand.
None of these people walked off the battlefield, and none of them turned around and ran away. Whether it is the Nanshi Wei Army or the Liangzhou soldiers, they are all elite troops that are rare in this world.
But at this moment, it is dying step by step in such a war.
Under the urging of the captain, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty almost stepped on the corpses of their comrades and charged forward.
Not to be outdone, the Wei army in the southern chamber fired their bows and arrows at the charging Liangzhou soldiers.
But now, Liangzhou soldiers have rushed close enough.
At the same time as they fired their arrows, the arrow array of Liangzhou soldiers also arrived.
In an instant, the muffled sound of weapons breaking armor and the screams of soldiers after being hit by arrows could be heard from both camps.
In terms of archery, Nanshi Weijun was from a hunting nation and his archery skills were outstanding.
As for Liangzhou's soldiers, they were not inferior because of the existence of Li Chengqian, a training fiend.
The archers from both sides were shooting at each other, and it was really a point-to-point confrontation.
As the distance between the two sides gets closer, the casualties on both sides also increase.
On the Tang Dynasty, every step forward would cost several or even dozens of people.
In just a hundred steps, the first charge was reduced by almost 70%.
And watched as his brothers fell to the ground one after another.
A centurion rolled and crawled up to the centurion.
With tears on his face, he begged: "General, our army is exhausted, and the enemy's army is waiting for work and has barriers. It is really difficult for our army to compete. Retreat quickly. If you don't retreat, all our brothers will die..."
"Stop farting with me!"
The captain gritted his teeth and said: "There are only fifty steps left. As long as we advance these fifty steps, our army can break out of the encirclement..."
"As long as our army can break through the encirclement, what if I die in battle?"
At this time, he also raised his sword: "Liangzhou Army, nine deaths without regrets! Kill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and rushed into the battlefield, his desolate back looking tragic...
