As Wang Xian spoke, he glanced at Hu Sandao and Liu Qianhu and said: "After the war started, you two led two thousand soldiers and horses to lurk in the mountains and forests on the south side. When you receive the signal, you will immediately attack from the south of the mountain with all your strength. You must use the shortest possible time.
Occupy the top of the mountain!" He pointed his finger at the top of the mountain on the map and said: "Once we occupy the top of the mountain, I will attack the enemies on the mountain with you and defeat them in one fell swoop!"
"Here!" The generals responded with a roar.
"Everyone, this battle must be won quickly. We have no time to waste!" Wang Xian looked at everyone with firm eyes and said in a deep voice: "The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. We must overwhelm the enemy with momentum! Crush them!" The generals!
I couldn't help but nod. Wang Xian was right. After all, the enemy army was not a well-trained army. Fighting relied on blood and courage. If they lost to them in terms of momentum, they would burst out with powerful fighting power. If they were overwhelmed in terms of momentum, they would not be able to bear it.
one strike!
The battle started during the enemy's lunch! Although it was a feint attack, it would not attract the enemy's attention or mobilize the enemy's troops unless the enemy was hurt or frightened by the attack! So from the very beginning, the officers and soldiers were urged by Wang Xian.
After moving, the troops divided into three groups and launched a fierce attack on the joint part of the White Lotus Army's defense line!
Upon seeing this, the White Lotus Sect troops on the mountain dropped their bowls and chopsticks one after another, ran to their respective positions, picked up the prepared stones and threw them down! Countless large stones rolled down the hillside, and some officers and soldiers were unable to avoid them.
He screamed and was knocked to the ground, with his muscles and bones broken in the slightest, and his brains bleeding in the worst case!
The officers and soldiers also used the terrain cover to shoot arrows at the White Lotus troops on the mountain, and even used rifles to shoot! The followers of the White Lotus did not have much military training, so they just threw stones as hard as they could, leaving their bodies exposed, and they were hit by arrows one after another.
They were shot, and there were many casualties...Now the believers were so frightened that they lay on the ground and did not dare to get up, so the stones were naturally not thrown away.
Seeing this, the officers and soldiers quickly took the opportunity to advance. When they rushed to the mountainside, the White Lotus cultists woke up from a dream and quickly got up and started throwing stones again. The officers and soldiers were already so close, and there was nowhere to hide.
All we can do is grit our teeth and rush upward at the risk of death and injury!
At the foot of the mountain, Wang Xian looked at the battle situation and said with a gloomy expression: "If we invest another thousand people, we must break through the first line of defense!"
"Yes!" Zhou Yong responded in a deep voice and sent the order.
After a while, a Qianhu named Zhao personally led the team into the battlefield! As soon as this effective force joined, the momentum of the official army increased greatly. After paying a heavy price, the official army finally attacked the first line of defense of the White Lotus Army.
, the White Lotus Army hurriedly wielded their swords and guns and fought with the officers and soldiers on the battlefield!
Throughout the main battlefield on the eastern hillside, screams and shouts of killing could be heard!
The top of the mountain is where the leader of the White Lotus Army is! It is Liu Xin, the leader of Linqu Hall of the White Lotus Sect, who leads these believers to attack. He is depressed to death! In his opinion, the troops in his hands are his capital. In Hulukou
If you lose it, your status in the church will be lost in the future. That’s why you choose to take on the so-called blocking mission in a place far away from the battlefield.
Who knows, he thought it was just a casual errand, but he actually waited for reinforcements from the government troops! Looking at the government troops rushing up from all over the mountains and plains, Liu Xin's scalp was fried, so he had to order his men to resist desperately! But the offensive of the government troops came in waves.
Then there was another wave, which showed no sign of fading, and finally broke through his first line of defense, which was dozens of feet away from the top of the mountain!
Seeing the officers and the White Lotus Army fighting together, Liu Xin felt that a disaster was coming, as if the wolf-like officers and soldiers would kill him in front of him in the next moment!
"Quick, get reinforcements!" Liu Jun shouted to the left and right.
"Okay!" An incense master took the order and left, shouting to hundreds of brothers on the mountain, "Come down with me!"
Hundreds of White Lotus cultists howled and rushed down from the top of the mountain to join the battle group! But the army had already established a firm foothold. The joining of these hundreds of cultists only blocked it at the first line of defense! Both sides were in a long period of time.
A brutal tug-of-war unfolded on a hillside about a hundred feet long! Countless White Lotus cultists fell to the ground screaming, and countless officers and soldiers were killed and wounded on the ground!
"Reinforcement!" Wang Xian gave another order and put in the last one thousand people!
Liu Jun stood at a high place and had a panoramic view. He saw that the government troops were increasing their troops all over the mountains and plains, and he shouted hurriedly: "Quick! We are also increasing our troops!"
But after he finished speaking, he regretted it, because there were only more than a thousand people left around him, and he thought to himself that if he sent more people, who would protect me?! And he only had two thousand direct relatives in total, so the casualties were too heavy and the capital would be gone! So he called
Another incense owner who was about to go down the mountain said in a deep voice: "Don't move, let those guys from the south come over for reinforcements!"
Although the Bailian army in the south is also under his command, they are Chang Le Tang's troops, and it has nothing to do with him whether they die or not!
Liu Xin's order quickly spread to the southern position. The leader of Changle Hall was relatively simple-minded. He had seen the tragic situation on the front battlefield and led a thousand troops to reinforce without hesitation.
At this time, Wang Xian had no troops to send, but even if he had troops, it would be of no use. Because the total strength of both sides on the entire frontal battlefield was seven to eight thousand, which was close to saturation.
Beside him, Qian Dahai, the commander of these officers and soldiers, saw that his men suffered heavy casualties and anxiously urged: "Sir, can you send the signal now?!"
Wang Xian slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Drumming!"
Several military drums rumbled, encouraging people to advance! When the officers and soldiers heard the drums, they attacked more fiercely. Although they were at a disadvantage in terms of terrain and did not have an advantage in numbers, they killed the enemy and retreated steadily!
Seeing that his side was somewhat unable to stabilize its position, Liu Xin was frightened and continued to shout: "Add more troops, keep adding more troops!"
Liu Xin's cronies were also confused. They had never seen such a huge, chaotic and brutal battle scene. They had no way of judging the situation on the battlefield. They did not know that when the official army compressed the White Lotus Army's formation to a certain extent, the resistance would increase greatly.
It’s difficult to advance even an inch! And with today’s saturated battlefield density, adding more troops is futile…
Without thinking, Liu Xin's men once again issued an order to mobilize troops to Shannan. At this time, the leader of Changle Hall was already on the front battlefield, and the person in charge of the southern position was an incense master. He did not dare to act on his own, and actually sent only
Of the remaining 1,000 people, 600 will be allocated!
Wang Xian immediately saw the emptiness of the southern position, then waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Send the signal!"
That Qian Dahai had already become an ant on a hot pot. Hearing this, he quickly ordered someone to shoot a firework into the sky!
Fireworks exploded on the top of the mountain. Hu Sandao and others, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately rushed out of the forest to the south and attacked the mountain as fast as possible!
On the southern hillside, the remaining four hundred White Lotus believers were shocked. The incense master was stunned there for a long time! Seeing that the officers and soldiers had rushed halfway up the mountain, he quickly ordered his men to hold on, and then asked for help from the main peak.
!
The hillside to the south is much steeper than the front. In many places, you even need to use your hands and feet to climb up. If these four hundred White Lotus believers are so powerful and try their best to block them with big rocks, they will probably suppress the two thousand officers and soldiers! However, these White Lotus believers are very likely to push down the two thousand soldiers.
The leader of the cultists was not there, and the main force was taken away twice. The remaining people were extremely guilty. Seeing the officers and soldiers rushing up all over the mountains and plains, these believers only knew how to be afraid and completely forgot to resist!
After just throwing down a few symbolic stones, the believers began to retreat! I don't know who took the lead, but soon everyone was running towards the main peak, as if that was the safe place!
Seeing this, the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted. Hu Sandao laughed and said: "Boys, catch up with your butts!" He jumped up from the hillside and took the lead to catch up with the fleeing White Lotus Army!
In fact, Liu Xin immediately saw the army rushing out from the mountains and forests in the south and launching an attack on the empty Shannan! Even a fool knew that he had fallen into a trap, so he quickly ordered the troops who had just been transferred back to go back!
However, before he had time to make adjustments, the position in the south had been lost. Seeing the hundreds of defeated soldiers desperately fleeing towards him, followed by the heavy army of officers and soldiers, Liu Xin couldn't help but his eyesight turned black, and he was gone immediately.
The courage to continue fighting with the army!
However, he did not dare to retreat easily, because he had issued a military order! When he thought of Tang Tiande's murderous words before departure, "If you can't hold the line of defense, come and see us!" Liu Xin was frightened. He knew that Tang Tiande's murderous words
The father and daughter can do what they say. If they just run away like this, their heads will definitely be separated!
"Hold it! Hold it!" Liu Xin was in a dilemma and could only let his men stabilize their position first.
However, the White Lotus Army that had just rushed over was scattered to pieces by the defeated troops who had escaped. Hu Sandao and others behind them followed closely with their swords raised and howling, chopping melons and vegetables!
The White Lotus Army couldn't hold their position, so they had to turn around and run away, but they would not run to the top of the mountain anymore, but directly escape from the back mountain...
Seeing that the officers and soldiers were already rushing towards the top of the mountain, Liu Xin was completely dumbfounded. The incense owner on the side quickly advised: "Master, let's run away quickly, otherwise we will have others make dumplings!"
Liu Xin looked at the officers and soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and then at the two armies still fighting fiercely to the east. He completely threw all the bullshit military orders behind him and stamped his feet: "Run!" After saying that, he stood in the crowd of his cronies.
Under protection, escape to the back mountain!
This guy was quite loyal. Before going down the mountain, he did not forget to ask someone to shout to the brothers who were fighting fiercely in front of him: "The wind is tight, pull it!" But to be honest, it was unwise to shout at this time, so everyone ran away together.
Who will stop the enemy and buy you time to escape?
Sure enough, when they heard this sound, the White Lotus Army, which had been fighting with the officers and soldiers with a bloody courage, immediately turned around and ran for their lives like ice and snow! Many people ran away very fast, and soon they were overtaken
Liu Xin and others were the first to take the lead! Looking at the officers and soldiers getting closer and closer behind them, the frightened Hall Master Liu finally understood that sometimes good people cannot do what they want!
Fortunately, the officers and soldiers took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing. Wang Xian was worried that he would be ambushed, so he quickly retreated his troops!
