Even if this is just a hillside with no name, we must guard it!
Because this is the land of the Han Dynasty, because behind it is my hometown.
Another round of arrows came, and the Northern Zhou cavalry's attack was a little slow.
Du Meng picked up a spear lying on the ground and stabbed it forward fiercely, forcing back a Northern Zhou cavalryman in front of him. Around him, more and more Han soldiers were gathering.
The muskets were fired again, and a Northern Zhou general fell from his horse.
A cheer erupted from the shattered Han army formation, and the Zhou people hurriedly tried to rescue them.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Han army slowly retreated up the hillside, firing round after round of arrows, forcing the Zhou people to retreat a little. Otherwise, charging against the enemy's arrows like this, or charging from bottom to top, the losses would definitely be huge.
.
The shields were erected, and the remaining carts were pulled out to serve as supports in the formation. A new line of defense was set up despite repeated calls, and the Han soldiers could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking around, Du Meng felt a dull pain in his heart.
There used to be two thousand Paoze brothers, but at this time, only eight or nine hundred people were still standing on the hillside. In other words, in the melee just now, the Han army even lost half of its troops. Of course, the Northern Zhou cavalry
A heavy price was paid. The broken carts were in pieces, and the ownerless horses were wandering and neighing in the wilderness. There were at least four to five hundred corpses of the Zhou people. It could even be clearly felt that the Zhou people
The team has shrunk.
Of course, the shrinkage of the Han army was even more serious. They only used infantry to fight the cavalry, and when the numbers of both sides were so equal, it was already very gratifying that the Han army could beat the Northern Zhou cavalry at a casualty ratio of two to one.
. This was actually something Du Meng himself could not imagine at first. All the Han soldiers on the hillside were actually prepared to die here when the Zhou people broke into the formation at the critical moment.
Fortunately, the war situation did not become out of control after all.
Almost all of the Han soldiers standing here alive were covered in blood. Du Meng could clearly see that most of the survivors were veterans.
Steel is tempered a hundred times, no matter how much courage and courage these recruits have, they will never be able to compare with the veterans in battlefield fighting, and the casualties will naturally be more severe. But in other words, these veterans present are also the original
He is trained in bloody battles, and as long as he can survive the waves, he must be something special.
War is the cruelest way to screen people.
Du Meng drank several sips of water, moistened his chapped lips, and said loudly: "Brothers, in this battle just now, we have taught these damn Zhou dogs a lesson. Look at the corpses below.
The infantry can also kill their cavalry until they are bloody!"
The soldiers on the hillside looked at each other and smiled.
They didn't even have the strength to cooperate with Du Meng and shout loudly, but they were indeed proud of their fight just now.
"The enemy will definitely launch a more violent attack, and we will fight these Zhou dogs until death!" Du Meng raised his arms.
"Until death," the voices of the Han soldiers were deep.
They don't have that much strength, but they have enough confidence.
The deep voice contained a strong and lingering killing intent, which was telling the Northern Zhou cavalry to regroup at the foot of the mountain.
If you want to take down this hillside, you have to pile it down with your life!
The Northern Zhou cavalry was not in a hurry to launch another attack.
Wang Gui rode his horse and stood at the front of the queue, squinting his eyes.
He had to admit that this little-known Han general surnamed Du could only know this information from the erected flags. Wang Gui might not be considered an expert at arranging troops. Of course, the soldiers under his command also revealed that
It comes from the unfamiliarity with the formation, which means that the Han army, from the general to the soldiers, are actually all cucumbers, one is the cucumber for leading the troops, and the other is the cucumber for formation and fighting.
But it was these cucumber eggs that caused Wang Gui to suffer a big loss.
The battle damage even exceeded a quarter, which is not a small amount.
For Wang Gui, the two thousand cavalry under his command are all elite, and missing one is a huge loss. Now, although the enemy has retreated to the hillside, it is obvious that they do not intend to bow their heads and admit defeat.
As long as the Northern Zhou cavalry launches another attack, they will definitely resist more tenaciously.
In order to guard the grain on the top of the hillside, these Han troops indeed showed a perseverance that Wang Gui had not expected.
In order to prevent the Han army from obtaining these grains, Wang Gui did not feel that he had really won.
"General, we can't fight anymore." Several generals came over, their faces full of bitterness.
Although the morale of the soldiers was high, the losses were obvious here. The soldiers sacrificed their lives, but this time what they wanted to do was not to destroy the damned Southern Barbarians in front of them, but to completely cut off the Southern Barbarians' food routes and attract the main Southern Barbarians to return.
Rescue.
Now if we put all the people on this hill, how can we cut off the grain road?
As long as the Southern Barbarians send a small number of troops and horses, they will not even have the possibility to flee and fight, let alone head-on with the grain transport team.
So now we have to make a decision: fight or leave?
Perhaps Du Meng and others who were already prepared to die at this time would not have expected that although Wang Gui was in an absolute advantage, he was facing a more difficult choice than them. They had nothing to fear or choose. On the contrary,
It is Wang Gui who needs to make a choice.
Looking up at the blood-covered Han soldiers on the hill, Wang Gui felt envious of them for a moment.
I really just want to die like this, cleanly, and leave my name in history.
"Let's go!" Wang Gui ordered decisively.
If he didn't leave at this time, he would be entangled on the battlefield by the Han army, and there would be no chance of retreat.
The Northern Zhou cavalry actually turned their horses around and headed east at this moment. Even Du Meng himself couldn't believe this fact.
Wang Gui, just ran away like that?
"Wang Gui wants to attack the next team. Counting the time, another grain transport convoy should have already set off from Liangjun. If Wang Gui catches up, they will encounter the enemy in six or seven hours without any accident.
!" A nearby leader of the grain and fodder fleet said anxiously, "I'm afraid they don't know what's going on here. Our horses are all used for driving carts. When it comes to running, they will definitely not be able to compare with the Zhou people's cavalry.
!”
Du Meng suddenly gasped.
There is no way to save this person, what should I do?
I'm afraid it all depends on the fate of the next team. I hope they can receive the warning signal from Dai Cai and find a place to avoid it earlier. After learning about Wang Gui's appearance here, reinforcements will definitely come.
Coming soon.
Du Meng didn't think His Majesty would have the guts to let such an enemy's elite wander around the heart of his country.
