Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Eight Long Hate People Are Not as Good as Water (Part 2)
Outside Shangrao City, Xinzhou, the Huainan official army and the rebel army's main formation had been fighting for two days and one night. Countless tangled corpses were paved flattened the fields, and the blood flowing everywhere soaked the gullies.
During this period, countless flags fell down and were taken away by each other, and countless flags soaked in blood and turned into rags were recaptured and erected; however, no matter how many people were killed or injured, the battlefield was fought from the north to the south of the city, and from outside the city to the inside of the city; however, the Huainan military flag holding Chi Yan went out to sea was still blocked from the ochre yellow flag.
In this extremely chaotic battlefield, the left army made Meng Kai try to open his eyes, which were covered in blood, from the noise and shouting nearby, and desperately find the location of the formation; because, before that, he had been dispersed from the formation, and his mount died, and suffered several arrows on his body, but he had no time to pull it off for a while.
Immediately, he rushed towards the government army in front of him with an irresistible offensive, and in a blink of an eye, the enemy's infantry was scattered, and then he rushed backwards without stopping, causing the enemy to attempt to intercept his small group of troops and turn the plan to surround him into vain.
However, these official troops were like endless existences. He dispersed wave after wave, one after another, but still could not find any sign of the rebel army's main formation. The only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that the group of official troops were still fighting for the sky, which meant that they could never take down the Huang Wang's main formation.
However, while his thoughts were flashing, he bumped into a storm of an awesome official army; these fully equipped and uniformed officials all bravely stepped forward and shouted loudly: "This is a thief. Capture the thief! Capture the thief!" Hearing this scream, Meng Qi became more and more annoyed, fighting more and more bravely, like a furious lion, waving his swords and roaring loudly.
A strong enemy general just ran towards him when he suddenly heard his roar, which shocked the horse. Before he could resist, Meng Qi slashed the horse down. He snatched the horse from the horse, and turned his body hard for him to turn around, and then slashed and slashed towards the officers and soldiers of the followers.
After a while, Meng Qi's hands and thighs were stained with blood, and the horse's hooves had long been splattered with blood from the dead and injured. However, more and more official troops were surrounding him, and they seemed to be more and more well-trained.
He went to the east, and the enemies in the east retreated one after another, but the lineup was not chaotic, making it impossible for him to break through. At the same time, the enemies in the west rushed in like a tide. When he returned to his horse to kill the enemies in the west, the enemies in the east came back. He was slightly injured on his body, and only more than 200 soldiers were left, most of them were injured.
The gray smoke at dusk mixed with the yellow dust sank from the horse's hooves shrouded the hilly plateau. Meng Qi felt a little relieved and calmed down because he believed that he would have his own way to break through after it was dark. The soldiers under his command also cheered up, and while fighting, he encouraged his companions around him.
During the particularly long time that the night was making a game, Meng Qi continued to fight so nervously that he could not hear anyone shouting, only the clanging sound of weapons touching weapons, the low and short calls of the injured, the sound of horse hooves and footsteps running behind him.
"Meng Huzi, Feishanhu brothers..."
At this moment, Meng Qi heard a familiar voice calling his nickname again, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. When he looked up at the thick mist, he found that he had already rebelled against the enemy. Xiang Gaozi, the deputy commander of the former navy, immediately looked at him and shouted loudly on the small mound more than ten feet away in front.
In an instant, Meng Qi roared, his bearded hair stood up straight, his eyes almost burst into pieces, and the war horse that was not very obedient under his crotch also jumped forward under his vigorous control.
The officers and soldiers surrounding the front were shocked and the troops dodged to the sides. When he arrived at the mound, Xiang Gaozi did not dare to confront him and had already escaped. He galloped up the mound and did not find Xiang Gaozi. The officers and soldiers around surrounded the mound layer by layer like a tide.
However, the officers and soldiers were already a little afraid of Meng Qi and his subordinates' brave battles, and did not dare to attack fiercely for a while. Meng Qi also let his men take a break and wait for the opportunity to break through the siege.
So this battlefield suddenly became silent in the tense atmosphere shrouded in the dim light.
...........
At the same time, another scene was happening in front of Zhang Lin, the leader of the Huainan Army who was expressionless under the setting sun.
"You are afraid of death and shake the army, causing the troops to encircle and annihilate the thieves to break the formation and escape... We should use military law to treat the rule."
Du Yuhou, who was in charge of the Huainan Army, declared loudly.
"Please ask for trouble, let me follow the redemption army before the army."
Immediately, a general with a dirty face pressed into the mud with his arms pressed against the dust, begging loudly and being dragged down without mercy, and then ended abruptly with a shrill howl.
In the temporary execution venue, more than a dozen new and old people were cut down, and they were also carrying all kinds of ferocious deaths and distorted heads of various colors. It was obviously the result of the execution of military law in front of the formation in just two days.
“Forgiveness…forgiveness…forgiveness”
At this time, another general walked to Zhang Lin with a trembling face and bowed without raising his head.
"Although the battle lasted for several days had already attacked the front team that destroyed the thieves, defeated the left wing and dispersed the right wing, the remaining central and rear wings, the remaining central and rear wings fought against the walls. The men of each army tried their best but failed to break it."
"Since you have done your best, it's okay now. Huang Ni's headquarters is already in a battle for trapped beasts in a cage. It will only last soon after the wings are gone."
However, Zhang Lin's expression relaxed a little and said to him in a wide voice.
"You can slow down the momentum a little, so that the soldiers can retreat and rest for a while... I will order someone to replace you and so on."
"Come here, I'll order the surrendered troops to go into battle again, and then order the Turkish troops and the rural soldiers in the army to suppress the formation..."
After the general retreated, Zhang Lin ordered again.
"Du Bing, isn't this too hasty?"
Another confidant next to him said hesitantly. As the supervisor of the formation, he had seen the miserable appearance of the surrendered army being beaten by the old comrades who were burning in anger in front of the formation.
"It's okay. The purpose of this generation is to tease the thief's formation. It doesn't require much damage, but it can make Huang Ni's troops unable to live for a moment."
Zhang Lin is confident.
"With the Turkish troops as a buffer, and then the team blocked the periphery, and set up the flaws and waited for the opportunity. How long can the thief last?"
"Report that the surrendered troops were defeated when they came out of the battle and had already retreated and fled back."
After the call was sent down and the fight broke out for a long time, I heard someone coming to report it.
"Let the troops of the United Kingdom Army that were under the ranks to implement military laws on the spot... and drive them back... the people waiting for this team also leaned forward..."
However, Zhang Lin continued to order without any surprise.
Then another general rushed over and shouted loudly.
"Reported that several surrendered troops mutinied as soon as they arrived in front of the formation and were fighting with the Tumen Army. The thieves fighting under the city took advantage of the situation and came to kill them."
"It's a good time... These thieves surrendered soldiers have no loyalty and righteousness, and it is common to repeat themselves..."
However, Zhang Lin was not angry but said happy.
"Now, it happened to be a bait for me in front of the formation, and the Huang Ni soldiers who had turtled and formed a formation were brought out for me. I passed the order to go and put out the stoppers, and ordered the wait-by-time crossbow soldiers to start blocking the array. The horse stomping teams were ready to attack..."
As the flag swayed and spread the military orders, rows of blocking vehicles with vertical baffles and sharp blades emerged from the military formation. Surrounded by many armored spearmen and crossbowmen, they slowly advanced and squeezed upwards in the direction of the defeated earth groups.
Let the defeated soldiers who were stopped shout, cry and beg, and not continue to push forward, expose, knock down, and hang up their bodies, leaving traces of red of varying thickness.
Then the dense arrow feathers that followed immediately also shot them into the ground with the thieves fighting behind them without any difference. Then, from the gap deliberately left by the two wings of the tides of the chariot blocking formation, two fully-clopped cavalry sped out like arrows, and in a few breaths, they rushed into the thieves attacking the array.
A large group of infantry followed closely and faced the majority of the thieves who were trying to come to meet and support when they saw that the situation was not good, completely partitioned and divided them.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Lin vomited a breath of depression that had been accumulated over time. Although he looked calm and natural on his face, as if everything was in a plan, in fact, the tenacity and difficulty of these thieves and stubborn parties were beyond his initial expectations.
He originally planned to drive straight in front of the formation and annihilate Huang Chao's formation in one go, but under the cost of blocking and delaying the thief team, he still failed to make Huang Chao's middle formation line up to fight. Then he personally supervised the battle and hanged out a reward pattern. Many parties took turns to siege and siege for a long time, but it was difficult to get what they wanted.
On the contrary, several generals he sent to the battlefield were defeated by Huang Chao, the leader of the battlefield. Even the veteran Ma Keji, who was good at Ma Zhan, was seriously injured in the formation, and for a while, he was allowed to rush left and right and was unstoppable.
So he could only take measures to advance in two units together, split a part of his troops to continue to surround and trap Huang Chao's central army, and sent some elite soldiers and two thousand new forces sent by the imperial center to cooperate with the ambush on the periphery to defeat and annihilate the divided thieves one by one.
Therefore, as his strategy came into effect, although these thieves fought very bravely in the melee, they were in a difficult terrain due to relatively few people and horses, and were in a difficult terrain, and the lack of people and horses was very serious. They were soon divided into many parts by the official army's array, and they fought each other and could not take care of each other.
Huang Chao was surrounded at first and was able to take the initiative and search for opportunities to kill the officials and retreated several times. However, because the number of thieves was at a disadvantage, he was unwilling to fight to the end with the official army of a certain direction and quickly turned back to attack those troops that had not yet stood firm.
Although this can kill more officers and soldiers, it also gives Zhang Lin many opportunities to continue to mobilize troops and organize forces to counterattack. So later, as most of the officers and soldiers got used to this rhythm, the initiative he controlled in front of the formation was gradually lost;
As he rushed around and continued to rescue the troops surrounded by the government army, the space that could fight active was gradually compressed by most of the government army that had been closed, and he had to give up the remaining rescue targets and retreat under the city wall to stand firm.
Therefore, he could only give up his previous plan to achieve success in one fell swoop, and patiently slowly concocted the Huang Ni headquarters that had been surrounded by tens of thousands of people; although during this period, the troops he arranged on the periphery had already broken and annihilated, and several other thieves who came to rescue and meet; but as time went by, their advantages and advantages would only be more and more biased towards the Huainan Army.
In fact, except for the territory that was restored by the Huainan Army in the north, whether it was Quzhou under the jurisdiction of Xuanshe Observation Envoy in the east or Jianzhou under the Fujian Observation Envoy in the south, they were already under the control of the official army; and there were only Qianzhou and Hongzhou areas in the southwest, which were still in the southwest, where there were still some thieves in the activities of thieves, but they could not have become a climax.
At this time, a noise and fighting came out in front of the formation where the torch was already clear, and then someone hurried to report it.
"Reporting to the attack, many thieves and cavalrymen rushed out under the west wall of the city, with yellow flags and big flags hidden... "
"Okay, it's wonderful to escape. Su Kewang, the military commander of the camp, Sun Dingbang, and Zhang Ziyi are there?"
Zhang Lin, who was wearing a pillow and waiting for the dance, couldn't help but stand up on the leaning rope bed and laughed a few times, then called out.
"The thief has entered the throne. You have received great grace from the country. I hope to kill the thief to repay the emperor."
"If we can capture Huang, Shang and other giant thieves, and offer them to the captives, the upper part will release the worries of the nine levels, and the lower part will boost the spirit of the military and civilians, the country will not be stingy with the rewards of the marquis. If we dare not fight effectively, a thief will miss the net, so that the Duke will have the right to give it to the front line, and we will never be tolerated!"
The three generals Su Kewang, Sun Dingbang and Zhang Ziyi, who were appointed as soldiers and horse envoys in the camp, almost rushed to answer in unison: "I am willing to be the military order!" Then they flew onto the horses and drove away with the remaining horses in the camp.
At this time, the night had already covered the inside and outside of Xinzhou Prefecture, but there were still fierce battles in many places, with the sound of shouts and killings shook the earth.
Especially on the other side of the city, another Huainan general, Liang Shimao, disguised himself as a thief to help, and took the opportunity to attack the city and cut off his retreat, and was attacking and killing and eliminating the remaining thiefs entrenched in the city.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Lin couldn't help but sigh.
"This battle is over, and the court and the Lord Ling should be able to sleep peacefully..."
At this time, Gao Yue beside him also read a song "Send the General to the Pass to Counterattack" quite appropriately.
"Many people in the world rely on their martial arts, so who is a true hero?
If you want to destroy the Yellow Turban Thief, you must rely on the Black Spear.
It refers to the stars worry about the national economy, and the qi is the wise and the wind is the sky.
Tomorrow will be the best, and Qijun will be the best."
