There used to be a fort at the south corner of the mountain col. After it was captured by the Prince's Army, it became the former enemy command post of the Prince's Army.
The top commanders here are Yang Rong and Wu Wei at the moment. Of course, the person in charge of military command is the former Shanxi Taiyuan left guard commander Yang Rong, a veteran who followed the old Jin king on many border battles.
Wu Wei was the supervisor of the army. At this time, he already knew the news about the explosion in the capital, the siege of the Prince's Mansion, and the unknown life and death of Wang Xian. However, he concealed the news and did not even tell Yang Rong. Because of this situation in front of him
The war is so important that it almost affects the entire family fortune of Beizhen Fusi, and it is also related to everyone's life and fortune. When this war is launched, no one has a way out. If this war cannot succeed, even if it is not possible at this moment,
If they die in battle, they will all be charged with rebellion because of unauthorized use of weapons, and their families will be destroyed. Only by winning this battle and achieving the goal of this operation can everyone pass the test, and then we can talk about winning the future.
So until now, Yang Rong didn't know that there was chaos in the rear, but he was paying attention to the battlefield in front of him wholeheartedly.
"Why was the southeast defeated?" Yang Rong keenly saw the changes in the local battlefield.
"Sir, some warriors with ghostly faces and black swords appeared on the other side. They were very powerful. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat to regroup..." the general reported back timidly, and then waited for Yang Rong to get angry.
"Are you sure?" Yang Rong just asked coldly.
"OK." The general's voice became even softer.
"Okay." Instead of getting angry, Yang Rong became excited and said: "They have no cards anymore." He immediately ordered: "Send the Rangers up and attack with all your strength to consume the last bit of their strength."
The "Yes" generals responded and organized their troops to prepare to continue the fierce attack.
In fact, many generals criticized Yang Rong's use of troops. They believed that if Mo Wen had commanded this battle, it would have been won crisply and the casualties would have been much smaller. It would not have been an arduous tug-of-war like now.
But Yang Rong was not moved at all, and Wu Wei's full support for him suppressed all objections. In fact, Wu Wei also had some opinions about Yang Rong, but he remembered that Wang Xian had someone bring a message to him a few days ago, telling him
Perhaps due to his age, Yang Rong's military use was a little too steady, and even looked too cumbersome in people's eyes. But Wang Xian emphasized that Yang Rong should be used with the word "stable" because there is no room for loss in this battle and he would rather have more.
Even if some people die, you can't choose to take risks
It can be said that Wu Wei is the perfect executor of Wang Xian's will, and he stands firmly by Yang Rong's side.
Yang Rong also appreciated Wu Wei's support. Before launching a new round of attacks, he took the initiative to explain to Wu Wei: "I have been thinking about the plum blossom formation in Baiyun Villa for half a year, and I know its advantages and disadvantages very well.
.”
As soon as Yang Rong opened his mouth, Wu Wei was silenced and he listened carefully.
"Its advantage is naturally that it has perfect defense. Without breaking through the outer defense line, no one can even think of getting close to Baiyun Villa. But its shortcomings are also obvious," Yang Rong said immediately: "That is, the troops are divided into five groups and the strength is too high.
Under normal circumstances, there is no problem in being dispersed, but when encountering a large-scale attack like this, they have to deal with five battlefields at the same time. At the same time, they must worry that if there is a breakthrough somewhere, the person in the villa will not be safe, so they must
In the villa, there are enough troops left. The troops are already insufficient, and they are divided into six locations. Therefore, there is a lot of pressure, and there will be insufficient troops everywhere."
"It makes sense." Wu Wei nodded and said, "But the truth seems not difficult to understand. Why do they arrange it like this?"
"The main reason is the restriction. There are many plains near the capital, and there is no dangerous place where one man can guard the gate and ten thousand people can't access it. Ji Gang couldn't put his base too far away from him, so he had no choice but to pick a general and choose this place.
The concealment is very good, but it is not a dangerous position. Of course, they know this, but they can't blatantly build a city. They can only set up many fortifications and artillery secretly... It's just that when these fortifications and artillery don't work
, their fatal flaw is exposed before our eyes.”
"In that case, what reason do I have not to seize this point and fight to death?" Yang Rong waved his hand fiercely to emphasize the tone.
That wave of the hand also brought out the thundering sound of war drums. In the sound of the drums, countless officers and soldiers rushed into the southeast area again.
In the southeastern village, Ji Gang's army had just regained their lost ground. Just as they were sitting down to take a breath, they saw the enemy charging at them again, so they had no choice but to curse and pick up their weapons to face the enemy.
As the saying goes, once again, the second time is familiar. In this second confrontation, both sides skillfully used the terrain to dodge the opponent's crossbows and quickly approached the enemy. After only a brief exchange of fire, the hand-to-hand combat began again.
At this time, the black warriors wearing ghost masks came out again. When they showed the long black swords, they saw the fear on the faces of the soldiers of the Prince's Army. The corners of the mouths in the masks were raised proudly, but the strength in their hands was not
Slightly reduced, the long knife turned into black bolts, ready to harvest lives.
Suddenly, the bodies of several warriors in black trembled violently, their hands tightly covering their throats, their long knives fell to the ground, and then they also suddenly fell to the ground.
The leader of the "hidden weapon" black-clad warrior was immediately shocked. He was not afraid of crossbows and artillery, but he was afraid of these darts and flying knives, because this meant that the other party was also a master of martial arts - his black-faced warrior took off his frightening mask.
, they are just some masters with knives...and because they are mass-produced, their level is not very high...The reason why they were able to cut melons and vegetables for the first time was actually more because they scared the other party.
Sure enough, when the remaining ghost-faced warriors came into close combat with those seemingly ordinary enemies, they found that they had met their opponents. Those guys who used strange weapons such as eyebrow sticks, mandarin duck hooks, and three-section whips were actually able to withstand them.
Their 'three-axe',
After seeing the ghost-faced warrior slashing three times, he continued to attack again... Wang Xian's martial arts masters laughed loudly and said: "So it's just like this."
When the masters of the Rangers switched from defense to attack, it was the turn of the black-faced warriors to be frightened. A ghost-faced warrior was struck in the face by an iron whip. Amidst the screams, the wooden mask with green face and fangs was broken into pieces, revealing a flowing face.
Face full of blood...
At this time, the prince army also understood that those ghost-faced warriors were just ordinary people, not even as good as the masters on their side. Immediately, their morale was boosted, and they rushed towards the enemy with twice the ferocious momentum... They had to use practical skills.
Action washes away the shame of the defeat just now.
But Ji Gangjun's mood hit rock bottom. Soon he couldn't hold on any longer, leaving more than a hundred corpses, dozens of them ghost-faced warriors, and retreated back uncontrollably.
So much so that standing on the observation deck of the villa, one can clearly see the southeastern defense line collapsing at a rapid speed.
"The situation is not good, Lao Wang, there are too many of them..." Li Fuchun's hand couldn't help but tremble even if it was held on the railing. What he saw in front of him was the two armies fighting, but in his mind
It emerged clearly that the villa was breached, the man was kidnapped, and he was either killed by Wang Xian's men or torn into pieces by the angry Governor Ji.
"The other party also came up with a trump card," Wang Qian sighed: "Your ghost-faced warrior doesn't seem to be that amazing either..."
"Stop making sarcastic remarks and send troops as soon as possible." Li Fangchun yelled nervously, like a gambler who lost his sight. He had already abandoned his original principles to the Kingdom of Java: "I will pay another two hundred."
"Report" had not finished speaking, but immediately someone came to report: "Beicun will not be able to withstand it anymore."
Wang Qian hurriedly turned to the north, leaned on the fence and took a look. Sure enough, his defense line on the Beicun side had been forced back to the south corner of the village.
A feeling of despair arose spontaneously. Wang Qian roared like a trapped animal, turned to Li Fuchun and said: "Don't let your people go to the southeast. Go to Beicun to support."
"What about Southeast?"
"Three hundred were transferred from Nancun..." Wang Qian sighed dejectedly.
"You're not guarding Nancun anymore?" Li Fangchun asked in surprise.
"I can't care anymore..." Wang Qian held on to the railing and said sadly: "It just depends on luck. I hope they are as you said..."
"Is one missing among the three?" Li Fuchun asked in a low voice.
"The possibility is very small..." Wang Qian slowly shook his head.
Yang Rong's command post was due south, so they noticed it as soon as Nancun's troops were mobilized.
"That's great," Wu Wei said excitedly, "They have mobilized troops from Nancun again."
"Yeah." He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then Yang Rong decisively ordered: "Reserve team, attack." He threw the last two thousand soldiers and horses into the battlefield.
The two thousand soldiers could no longer hold back any longer. After receiving the order, they went down the mountain like tigers, howling and rushing towards Nancun.
In the compartment, Wang Qian's eyes darkened when he saw the prince's army rushing down from the mountain. He quickly held on to the railing to prevent himself from sitting on the ground without being able to support himself.
"It turns out, Lao Wang, you are right..." Li Fuchun was even more frightened and sat down on the ground. "They all blame me, they all blame me..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Wang Qian composed himself and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and get the man on his horse and break out from the west. I'll buy you time..."
"Old Wang..." Li Fangchun's heart warmed up when he heard this, and he looked at Wang Qian with tears in his eyes: "If I can see you again alive, I will apologize to you again."
"Go..." After Wang Qian finished speaking, he drew his sword and said to the more than a hundred guards around him: "Let's go to Nancun with me."
These were all his soldiers. Although they knew they would die, they still followed Wang Qian to the south without anyone saying anything.
"Let's go in quickly." Li Fangchun stood up holding his men's arms. After slowly going downstairs, he felt that his legs were not so weak: "Go pick up that person first.
"Yes." His subordinates let go of Li Fuchun and followed him toward the backyard.
The backyard was full of warriors dressed in black and wearing long swords. Of course, at this moment, they were not wearing the cumbersome ghost masks... These warriors were patrolling with full vigilance, and there were as many as five hundred of them.
When they saw Li Fuchun coming, the warriors bowed and stepped aside. Layers of defense were peeled off layer by layer, like an onion, and finally a small courtyard was revealed... The person in the small courtyard was the one being guarded by the five hundred warriors.
