Before all the Ning troops who went to war could escape back to the camp, the gate of the Ning army camp was closed first. A large number of Ning troops were trapped outside the camp gate. People beat the gate and made heart-rending shouts and calls for help.
.
The person who ordered the camp gate to be closed was none other than Wei Zheng who hurried back. He could see clearly from the tower that if all his soldiers were put into the camp, they would not be able to close the camp gate even if they wanted to. Feng Jun
They will definitely take the opportunity to attack those who are approaching. Once the camp gate is lost, our camp will be in danger.
No matter how much he couldn't bear it, he could only order to close the camp gate in advance to completely isolate the enemy troops from the camp. Then, Wei Zheng made a decisive decision and issued an order to the general. All the archers went up to the wall of the camp and released arrow formations, no matter it was
The enemy is still one of our own, shoot everyone within thirty feet.
This order was a nightmare for the Feng and Ning armies outside the camp. The thousands of defeated Ning troops and the 6,000 Pingyuan army death squads were the first to be attacked by the Ning army's arrow array.
The defeated army of Ning State was too close to the camp and was hit by the most violent arrows. Even with shields, they could not stop such a dense array of arrows. Just one rain of arrows fell, and hundreds of Ning soldiers turned into hedgehogs. After several rounds of arrows,
After the rain, more than a thousand defeated troops were left alive.
The death squads of the Pingyuan Army were not much better. Since they were death squads, they all went into battle lightly. For the sake of portability, most of them wore armor or not shields. Under the arrow formation of the Ning Army, the soldiers were no longer falling one by one.
Instead, it fell in pieces.
The leaders Nan Ye and Zhan Peng were not spared, and each received several arrows. Fortunately, they were protected by spiritual armor and were not injured. It was the first time that the two of them tried the Ning Army's arrow array. They were horrified and gave orders hastily.
The army retreated and abandoned the attack on the camp.
The six thousand Pingyuan troops abandoned thousands of corpses and retreated in panic back to their own lines.
Nanye and Zhanpeng were like defeated roosters, their heads lowered and they returned to the commander-in-chief Xiao Muqing.
"General, I am incompetent and failed to lead my brothers into the enemy camp!" The two men knelt down on one knee.
Xiao Muqing smiled and asked, "Do you two know who the commander in the enemy camp is?"
Zhan Peng replied: "Isn't it Wei Zheng?"
"Yes!" Xiao Muqing stared at the Ning Army camp in front of him and said, "If it is so easy for you to attack the camp, what kind of famous general would Wei Zheng be?!"
Nanye and Zhanpeng looked at each other and lowered their heads without saying a word. After a moment of pause, Nanye suddenly thought of the injured Wei Xuan and asked hurriedly: "General, how is General Wei's injury? Is his life in danger?"
Xiao Muqing admired Nan Ye's character and felt that this man was kind and kind. He shook his head and smiled and said, "It's just a minor injury. It will be fine after a few days of rest."
"Oh! That's good, that's good!" Nan Ye sighed after hearing this.
Xiao Muqing stopped her smile, straightened her face, and said in a deep voice: "Nan Ye, listen to your orders!"
"The general is here!" Nan Ye was shocked and hurriedly stepped in to salute.
"I will give you five thousand elite troops. Go around to the enemy's northern camp and attack at noon. Make sure there is no mistake!"
"I will obey your orders!"
"Zhan Peng listens to the order!"
"The end is here!"
"I will also give you five thousand elite troops. Go around to the enemy's western camp and attack at noon. No mistakes!"
"Got the order!"
Xiao Muqing issued orders continuously, sending Nanye and Zhan Peng away respectively. Then he mounted his war horse and walked back and forth in front of his own army formation.
He looked around at the crowds of officers and soldiers of the Pingyuan Army in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Our Pingyuan Army was the earliest to be established, has been with the king the longest, and has made the most military exploits. A man must stand upright, and if he doesn't do something, he must do it to the best of his ability.
Well, since we have surrendered to the army, we must strive for the greatest military exploits and the greatest glory. In this battle with the Ning thieves, our army is the first to successfully cross the river and the first to reach the enemy's camp. We must defeat the enemy.
Battalion, our army must also be the first and make the greatest contribution!" As he spoke, he pulled out his sword, grabbed the blade with his other hand, and slowly swung it, then he raised his fist high and blood flowed along it.
dripping from the gaps between his fingers, he didn't even frown, and shouted loudly: "If this battle is not successful, then we will be benevolent. We can only advance, not retreat, even if there is only one soldier left in the battle! If the battle is successful, you and I will
Brothers are drinking and chatting in the enemy camp. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll meet my brothers again in Jiuquan!”
After speaking, he waved the sword in his hand, pointed at the Ning Army camp, and shouted: "God bless our army and make us heroic! Kill——"
"kill--"
A general is determined to die, how can a soldier be greedy for life? Xiao Muqing swore with blood that he would share life and death with all the soldiers. People's blood boiled and they shouted in unison. Before the battle began, their eyes were already red. An army of nearly 100,000 people
Arranged in a neat square formation, without the assistance of siege equipment, they began to approach the Ning Army's camp.
"Wind! Wind! Wind——"
As the Pingyuan Army advanced, they kept shouting, and the sound of weapons hitting shields had already overwhelmed the sound of war drums. The loud bangs shook away the fear of one's own side and frightened the enemy.
Inside the Ning Army camp. Wei Zheng stood on the tower, looking at the Feng Army pressing over from outside the camp. His brows furrowed deeper and deeper. In the Feng Army camp, the flags of the Pingyuan Army that could be seen everywhere also made Wei Zheng feel unusually dazzling.
Even the back of my spine started to feel chilly.
As the saying goes, a person's name is like the shadow of a tree. As the strongest army in the Feng Kingdom, the Pingyuan Army has long been known to the Ning Army. The opponent that the Ning Army least wants to encounter is the Pingyuan Army who has a fierce style and fights without risking his life.
On the battlefield, fearing the enemy can only increase the chance of defeat. Wei Zheng knew this. He took a long breath, cheered up, and issued an order: "The whole army is ready, the enemy is nearly thirty feet away, shoot arrows!"
The herald agreed and immediately conveyed the message to Wei Zheng's generals.
Outside the enemy's range, the Pingyuan Army's advance was slow and unhurried. It mainly used momentum to oppress the opponent and put psychological pressure on the enemy.
Xiao Muqing is not a commander who is good at scheming, nor does he agree with taking advantage of opportunities on the battlefield. His style is steady, and his principle is to first ensure that he does not make mistakes, and then use a strong and tough style of play*
Force your opponent to make mistakes, allowing you to seize the opportunity and kill the enemy with one strike.
It is precisely because of his style that the Pingyuan Army was good at fighting hard battles.
As the Pingyuan Army gets closer and closer, the atmosphere on the battlefield becomes more and more tense. The solemnity of the eve of the war weighs on everyone's heart. The Pingyuan Army, led by Xiao Muqing, has given up fear, but the soldiers of the Ning Army are tense.
Nervous, many soldiers' hands holding weapons were trembling.
"Fire the arrow——"
"Fire the arrow——"
Seeing that Feng's army had advanced thirty feet, the Ning army's camp was filled with shouts of firing arrows.
Buzz - A black cloud composed of arrows soared into the sky in Ningying. The screams combined into a dull roar. The dense rain of tens of thousands of arrows drew perfect arcs in the air.
, fell into the camp of the Feng Army.
Ding-ding-dang-dang-pounce, pounce, pounce-the sound of arrows hitting shields and the sound of armor breaking into flesh were heard at the same time. The plain soldiers seemed invisible to the rain of arrows in the sky. They held up their shields and continued to shoot with eyes wide open.
Move forward. The brothers in front were shot down by stray arrows, and the soldiers behind didn't even blink. They seemed to be emotionless machines. There was only one thought in their consciousness, and that was to move forward! It seemed that there was only one way to stop them from moving forward, the end.
their lives.
The Ning Army's arrow arrays were fired one after another, and the soldiers of the Pingyuan Army fell one after another. However, the overall camp did not slow down, but was still accelerating. People stepped on the corpses of their comrades and moved forward. There was no fear in their hearts, but congestion.
Full of anger, his bloodshot eyes became increasingly scarlet.
An attacker with less than 100,000 people attacks a defender with nearly 200,000 people. No matter which army it is, this is like a suicidal attack. However, on the battlefield at this time, the morale of the Pingyuan Army is completely intact.
Overwhelming the opponent, the Pingyuan Army's phalanx was like a moving steel fortress. It might be able to open a gap, but it could not stop its advance.
Braving the rain of arrows from the Ning army, the soldiers of the Pingyuan army stepped on the corpses of their companions and advanced to the front of the Ning camp.
After arriving at the base of the village wall, a ladder was set up, and the soldiers of the Pingyuan Army began to swarm up with steel knives in their mouths.
Due to the limited number of ladders they brought, most people could not get close to the ladder. Pingyuan sergeants immediately set up human ladders and let their companions step on their own bodies to rush into the Ning camp.
The battle between the two sides officially began.
On the wall of the village, Ning's army shot arrows downwards, while outside the wall, Feng's army shot arrows upwards. Arrows from both sides kept flying through the air, devouring the lives of soldiers on both sides.
At this time, no one is absolutely safe. A living life can be shot in the vital part by a stray arrow in the blink of an eye and turn into a cold corpse.
No one is lucky at this time. In the bloody and inhumane killing, dying in battle may be a kind of relief.
Wei Zheng has been on the battlefield for a long time and has experienced countless big and small battles. But facing such a crazy plain army, he suddenly felt helpless. Two hundred thousand versus one hundred thousand, even in a head-on battle on the plains, he should be stable.
*Win the roll, but now, with the camp as cover, he still felt guilty.
The Pingyuan soldiers seemed to have turned into beasts, using all available methods to climb up the wall. However, as soon as they climbed up, they were killed. The corpses outside the wall were spread all over the ground.
At that time, the Pingyuan Army collected the corpses of their brothers and piled them into mountains, allowing people to climb up by stepping on the piled corpses.
As the battle continued, the corpses piled up by the Pingyuan Army had accumulated to the same level as the wall of the Ning Army's camp. The soldiers below no longer needed to climb. They could just step on the corpses of their companions and run up the wall. The battle had reached this point.
, both parties have entered the most difficult stage. No matter which side relaxes first, a disastrous defeat will follow.
The Pingyuan Army fell into a state of complete madness. No matter how many soldiers were killed, the wave after wave of strong attacks showed no sign of slowing down. However, the Ning Army, which had a geographical advantage and a large number of people, was afraid of attacking first. Facing the murderous wind,
People felt fear deep in their hearts. The Ning army on the wall was gradually retreating, and more and more Pingyuan troops were coming up.
