This is not something difficult to understand. No matter the intensity of training or morale of the Han army, the people of Linyi cannot compare with it. This army, tempered by the blood and fire of the great war, is incomparable to these turbulent forces in front of them.
The enemy has no fear at all.
To deal with such a rabble is not to fight, but to steal heads.
The mentality of the Linyi people is obviously different. For them, the Han army is a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general, and the Han Dynasty is the Celestial Kingdom far in the north. The Celestial Kingdom cannot be invaded rashly. This time the Celestial Kingdom comes directly.
The crusade made them even more fearful and uneasy.
In terms of morale and mentality, they naturally cannot compare with the Han army. It is reasonable for them to collapse after being at a disadvantage.
After all, looking at the whole world now, no army has begun to pay attention to the ideological education of the army like the Han army, strengthening the court's control over the army and improving the army's loyalty to the court ideologically rather than purely materially.
As a result, the army lost more than 30%, and most of the troops were unable to fight anymore.
But the Han army is definitely different.
The current Linyi people can only be regarded as ordinary troops, and naturally they cannot reach the height of the Han army.
After Fan Fanzhi realized that he was likely to be surrounded by Han troops whose numbers were smaller than his own, he finally reluctantly issued an order to withdraw his troops.
The left and right wings of Lin Yi's army had completely collapsed, and the eight or nine thousand men of the Chinese army retreated in disorder onto a hill on the north bank of Xiangshui that should be part of the remnants of Hengshan Mountain.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Luo Yi and Qi Xin stood side by side at the foot of the hill. Looking at the people arrayed on the hill, Qi Xin said helplessly: "It's not that easy for us to rush up now."
The mud slides down the hillside. If people want to rush up the hillside, they have to go against the water and mud, making it difficult to move. However, if the people on the hillside want to defend, they are inherently condescending and naturally have the upper hand. More importantly, now they are united in Fan Fan
The people around Zhi Zhi must be Fan Fanzhi's die-hard cronies, and they are very likely to be willing to fight to the death for Fan Fanzhi.
Therefore, Luo Yi and Qi Xin were actually not very willing to compete with Fan Fanzhi at this time.
"How long do you think he can last?" Luo Yi asked back.
"As the king of Linyi, I should be able to sustain myself for a few days." Qi Xin said with a smile.
"Wait until the sky clears up." Luo Yi polished his horizontal knife in the rain, "Wait until the sky clears up."
Qi Xin subconsciously glanced over to look at him.
Luo Yi's smile became a little ferocious: "After the weather clears, it will be the anniversary of his death."
The wind and rain are far less rapid than before.
The continuous wind and rain that lasted for many days has finally come to an end.
Qi Xin raised his head, and the raindrops falling on his face had become smaller.
A gap opened in the dark clouds in the distance, and a ray of sunshine poured down.
The heavy rain turned into light rain, then into sun rain, and finally gradually dissipated.
The sun that belongs to the south and exists regardless of winter or summer casts its scorching rays on this land. Countless water directly turned into steam at this moment, covering the mountains and rivers outside Lu Rong City in mist.
Looking at the mountains and rivers that have just been baptized by blood and fire, it also envelopes every soldier on both sides.
The navy chased the deserters for two or three miles. At this time, they were gradually withdrawing their troops. If we really talk about running on this land, or to be precise on the rainy swamp, the navy guys who hang around on the ship every day are really
They were no match for the Lin Yi people, not to mention that the Lin Yi people were frightened and insisted on running away, but the navy officers were thinking that Fan Fanzhi had made a great contribution here. Their mentality was different, so chasing and escaping were naturally different.
, so it makes sense that there aren’t many gains.
Now the navy has surrounded the hill from the north and west sides.
Fan Fanzhi was already unable to escape.
"What a sunny day." Luo Yi stood up, his sword sharply sharpened.
The billowing steam made the place look more like a big steamer. All the soldiers subconsciously opened their clothes and looked towards the hills.
It's windy there, it's cool there, and there's not even steam rising there.
Qi Xin also realized something and looked at Luo Yi with slightly narrowed eyes.
"Attack!" Luo Yi pointed his sword forward.
Under the hill, the sound of killing shook the sky.
On the hill, the liver and intestines were torn apart.
The horizontal knife opened up a Linyi man in front of him. Du Fuwei's footsteps stopped, and Fu Gong also leaned on his back. There was blood on the clothes and armor of the two men, but it didn't seem to be their blood, otherwise they would
I don’t have the ability to go all the way here yet.
More than a dozen Lingnan soldiers escaped from the crowd and gathered around them.
Twenty or thirty feet away, Feng Xi was leading several musketeers to shoot desperately at the Linyi people who were rushing towards them. Even they knew that the advantage of the enemy's huge number could not be compensated by using muskets, but it was better than nothing.
Most of these soldiers who have been injured already have no ability to charge forward. It is better to play a supporting role than to watch helplessly from the sidelines as the brothers of Paoze fall under the enemy's sword and axe.
Du Fuwei gasped for air and looked around.
He didn't know how many people he had killed, how long he had been fighting, or how long the blood-stained road was, but he knew that there were only so many brothers Paoze left around him, and the two hundred who entered the wall
Many Lingnan soldiers and a dozen more skilled musketeers fell, and the remaining men were not even a fraction of their original value.
This should be the biggest loss suffered by the Han army since the beginning of the southern expedition.
And this loss was only for this group of soldiers and horses. Outside the wall, the main force of the Han army was also trying its best to launch an attack on the mountain stronghold.
Less than fifty steps away from the main entrance of the village, one could clearly hear the sound of the charging car slamming into the village gate. Unfortunately, the Han soldiers who were standing outside the village wall and pushing the charging car desperately against the enemy's arrows did not know this.
, there are four or five large pieces of wood inserted horizontally inside the village gate as door latches, and a large number of Linyi soldiers are standing behind the gate.
It was impossible for the small ram that was transported up the mountain with difficulty to be qualified for such a task. The sacrifices and efforts of the Han army soldiers were actually in vain.
The ones who really have hope of solving the current predicament are Du Fuwei and the other Han soldiers who have already entered the Linyi camp.
But their numbers are getting smaller and smaller.
"If I have two hundred more people, I will turn this place upside down." Du Fuwei cursed.
Fu Gong brandished a knife and forced away a Linyi man who came forward. He laughed and cursed: "We are almost turning people upside down now, and you are still in the mood to think about this."
"How long do you think we can hold on?" Du Fuwei asked instead.
Fu Gong's movements paused slightly, but he soon regained his agility and sent the knife horizontally into the chest of the already bullied Lin Yiren.
He did not answer Du Fuwei's question, but Du Fuwei already knew the answer when he saw Fu Gong rushing into the crowd again.
