All the soldiers roared together. They all knew the heavy burden they shouldered. If they could delay for one more minute, they would give their troops one more minute to surround the enemy.
Thousands of Xuzhou troops had to face an enemy that was dozens of times their size, but they were not afraid of life and death and went straight up.
The Jiaozhou Army, which was moving south with great momentum, seemed to have hit a copper wall. All the soldiers at the front were directly killed. Bodies on the ground instantly appeared in front of the contact line between the two sides. Even Shiwu stabbed three Xuzhou Army soldiers to death.
After that, he was forced back directly by several steel knives.
"Fuck, charge me. If you can't kill me, everyone will die here."
Shiwu wiped the blood marks on his horse's shoulder. Although he had killed three Xuzhou Army soldiers in the previous battle, his horse was also slashed, leaving a blood mark.
Knowing his current situation, Shiwu directly wiped the blood on his forehead and swung his gun again to kill him without hesitation.
"kill."
The soldiers and warriors took the lead in the charge, and the soldiers behind him also put aside their fear and followed him to launch the attack.
The two sides fought together again. One side was the Jiaozhou soldiers who wanted to break out of the encirclement, and the other side was the Xuzhou soldiers who were determined to hold off the enemy to create time for the large army. Everyone had reasons not to retreat, so this battle was doomed.
bloody and cruel.
Although the Xuzhou Army was full of enthusiasm and fearless of life and death, with only a thousand men, they were still somewhat powerless in the face of the assault of tens of thousands of enemies. In the end, the Xuzhou Army of 1,000 people was almost completely wiped out, only to clear the battlefield at the end.
Dozens of survivors were found.
Although Shiwu led his men to break through the Xuzhou Army's blockage, they also bought some time for those behind them. At this time, two other Xuzhou troops of 1,000 people also arrived on the battlefield and began to set up a formation to block Shiwu's march south.
.
"Keep rushing."
Seeing that the enemy reacted so quickly, Shiwu could only bravely continue to charge forward, and the soldiers behind him did the same, following him and continuing to advance recklessly.
"Kill, I will stop the enemy even if I die."
The two captains roared loudly together, and charged at the rushing Jiaozhou soldiers without a trace of fear.
The Xuzhou Army's combat skills and combat awareness are much higher than the opponent's, but there are too many soldiers and horses, and it is difficult for the Xuzhou Army to deal with them. Even so, the Xuzhou Army's soldiers are still fearless, like flying
They rushed forward like moths to a flame, fighting the enemy one after another.
After a lot of hard work, Shi Wu finally led his soldiers and horses to break through the defense of 2,000 Xuzhou Army. However, after Shi Wu led more than 20,000 people to break through, the new soldiers behind were once again entangled by the Xuzhou Army, and it was difficult to break through.
Some difficulties.
Shiwu was just about to lead his men back to rescue the entangled recruits, but more than 5,000 Xuzhou troops had already rushed over, and behind them there were visible Xuzhou troops coming at a high speed.
"Fuck, don't worry about the soldiers and horses behind you. The whole army speeds up and flees south."
The current situation no longer allowed him to think too much. If he turned back to support, he would probably be entangled by the enemy. By then, the entire army would be wiped out.
In desperation, he could only cut his losses again, abandoned those soldiers and horses, and continued southward with about 20,000 soldiers and horses, heading towards Linhe.
"Don't worry about them. Stop the soldiers and horses behind them and don't let any of them escape."
Zang Ba also reached the front at this time. Seeing the soldiers and soldiers fleeing with others, he knew that it would be difficult to stop him, so he immediately chose to give up the pursuit and concentrate on encircling and suppressing the surrounded enemies.
Seeing the newly arrived Xuzhou Army, the morale of the trapped Jiaozhou Army collapsed. They now had no hope of breaking out of the encirclement.
"I surrender."
Finally, some people couldn't withstand such pressure, threw their weapons on the ground, and surrendered to the Xuzhou Army in front of them.
"I surrender too."
"It's down."
"do not fight."
One man's surrender caused a domino-like chain reaction. Countless Jiaozhou Army soldiers dropped their weapons, knelt on their knees, and surrendered to the Xuzhou Army.
"General, what should we do?"
Seeing the enemies kneeling on the ground like straw, Zang Ba's personal guard also hesitated. Now these people are already in the urn. If they accept the surrender, the battle is over. If they don't accept the surrender, then all these enemies will inevitably lay dead.
In this land that has turned red.
"These people are also the lord's future subjects. Let's do as little killing as possible. Besides, killing these helpless surrendered soldiers is against justice. I accept their surrender."
Zang Ba glanced at the frightened Jiaozhou soldiers, but in the end he did not give the order to kill.
"promise."
After hearing Zang Ba's order, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The one holding the steel knife was the enemy, but the enemy who put down their weapons was no longer worthy of letting them swing the butcher knife again.
Lu Bu was not stupid either. Although he was facing attacks from Zhang He and Dian Wei at the same time, he was still paying attention to the situation on the battlefield. When he saw the soldiers and soldiers starting to break out south, he knew that this decisive battle was about life and death for them.
I have completely lost,
Now that the war has been lost, even if he can take down the two generals in front of him, it will not help. What's more, he can't defeat the two generals in front of him at all, so the only thing he can do now is to find an opportunity to break out.
One halberd forced Dian Wei back, and then the second halberd turned into a bolt of lightning and stabbed directly into Dian Wei's throat.
Seeing Lu Bu's halberd coming from Fang Tian, Dian Wei immediately rode his carriage and retreat without thinking. At the same time, both halberds came out to block. Zhang He, who was next to him, did not hesitate and stabbed Lu Bu directly with his spear.
"kill."
Lu Bu seemed to have anticipated the reaction of Dian Wei and Zhang He. Fang Tian drew his halberd in a circle in the air and struck directly at Zhang He's shoulder.
Seeing Fang Tian drawing a halberd and slashing at him, Zhang He immediately waved his gun to resist, but Lu Bu used Xu Huang's move and knocked back Dian Wei with another halberd. Then the red rabbit horse channeled his spirit and led him back.
Retreat violently.
"Fuck, Lu Bu wants to run away."
Seeing Lu Bu's actions, Dian Wei and Zhang He immediately understood that they had been fooled. Lu Bu's series of operations were intended to force them back and create opportunities for themselves to evacuate.
Although both of them were also among the best horses, facing the king of horses, the Red Rabbit Divine Horse, it had the upper hand and it became impossible to catch up.
After chasing for a while, they could only watch Lu Bu getting farther and farther away from them, and they could only eat ashes behind the extremely fast speed of the red rabbit horse.
"It's really unlucky. I won't pursue it anymore."
After chasing for a while, Dian Wei took the lead and gave up the pursuit, because there was no point in pursuing him anymore. He could no longer catch up and it would only be a waste of energy.
"Hey, what a mistake, I actually let this guy run away."
Zhang He also felt resentful for a while. Although the previous battle had a decisive result, it would be the best if he could capture Lu Bu. However, this big fish has now escaped, which is really hard for him to accept.
"Let's go, let's go to the front first to see the result of the battle."
Dian Wei glanced at Zhang He, then turned his horse and ran towards the battlefield, while Zhang He followed closely behind Dian Wei and rode with him.
It was almost time when the two arrived at the main battlefield. Except for those who were still resisting, there were Jiaozhou soldiers kneeling on the ground and surrendering everywhere.
"Junyi, you are here to help announce the capture of the prisoners. I will report the results to the lord. Don't let him worry."
Seeing that the outcome of the battlefield was decided, Dian Wei did not stop and rode directly towards the main formation of the Chinese army.
"My lord, Dian Wei is back."
Dian Wei walked for a long time, passing through the obstacles and finally came to Yuan Shu's side.
"how's it going?"
Yuan Shu was in the rear, a little far away from the battlefield, and it was still late at night, so he didn't understand the situation in front of him at all, but since Dian Wei was here, the situation should have been decided.
"My lord, the soldiers and soldiers led the men to break through, and nearly 20,000 soldiers fled south with them. The remaining soldiers and horses were either killed in battle or captured. We won."
Dian Wei directly told the results of this night attack,
"good."
Hearing Dian Wei's words, Yuan Shu couldn't help but applaud. He must know that although the enemy's soldiers and horses are not as many as his own, they still have nearly a hundred thousand troops. They can defeat them without mobilizing militia groups. This also shows that his soldiers are capable of defeating them.
The level of eliteness, and since the Fuchuan garrison has been defeated, this also indicates that there is no one in Jiaozhou who can resist him.
"Lord, why did the enemy choose to flee south?
They should know that our cavalry is in the south, what is his plan?"
At this time, Tian Feng frowned next to him, with a trace of thought flashing in his eyes.
"You mean that the enemy has not given up yet. The reason why they chose to go south is because they want to reoccupy Linhe and then use Linhe as a basis to continue fighting against us?"
Yuan Shu was naturally very smart. When Tian Feng said this, he immediately understood what the other party meant. This was to remind him that the enemy still had not given up and definitely wanted to continue fighting.
"Well, that's what I mean. Besides, there aren't many defenders in Linhe right now. If the enemy attacks rashly, I'm afraid they won't be able to resist."
Tian Feng nodded. There were some things that he couldn't say directly, so he could just guide them.
"Well, we have to defend ourselves. We will immediately send people south to inform the defenders there to defend carefully."
Yuan Shu also understood the importance of the matter. Now that the enemy had collapsed, it was time to end all hopes of the enemy.
"Lord, I don't recommend this."
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Tian Feng shook his head and gave the opposite answer.
"Why?"
Yuan Shu glanced at Tian Feng and couldn't help but twist his brows into the character "Sichuan".
"My lord, Zilong only left a mere two thousand soldiers and horses in Linhe, and now Shiwu has brought at least twenty thousand soldiers and horses southward.
They are now a dead force. As the saying goes, a sad soldier must win. Faced with their only chance of survival, they will definitely fight like a trapped beast.
Faced with such an enemy, no matter how brave two thousand cavalry are, it will be difficult to withstand the enemy's attack. Not only will it fail to stop the enemy, but it will also cause losses to soldiers.
Instead of doing this, it is better for us to abandon Linhe, give them hope first, and then let the defenders of Linhe go south to Fengyang to join Zilong, and trap the enemy in Linhe.
When our army moves south, we will completely surround and annihilate the enemy in Linhe City."
