Chapter 8 Survival in a desperate situation
After a day of rest, inside and outside Moling Pass were shrouded in the tranquility before the storm. The temporarily recruited Min Zhuang hurriedly picked up his weapons and mixed with some veterans to climb the city wall. The remaining old, weak and weak women and children used door panels to set up temporary meals not far from the city wall, so that they could promptly let the torn soldiers eat hot food and drink hot soup and get as much rest as possible, because they didn't know when they would go to the front line to continue fighting.
Last night, Ying Guang and Dian Jun and Wei Dong quietly left the city with a thousand cavalry, circled around and arrived in Nuolin when the sky was dawn.
In the early morning, there was a milky white light fog floating in the forest. One by one, one figure was sitting or standing in the fog, eating dry food silently. The horses not far away sniffed from time to time, gently shook their tails, and slowly walked around their knights.
Ying Guang tightened his waist tightly, and the dew on the armor fell down with the movement of his arms, which aroused a little coldness. Xu Sixie had been out for a long time and didn't know how he was inquiring. As a veteran of his scout, Ying Guang was still very relieved about him.
A snoring suddenly sounded around him. Ying Guang looked back and saw Dian Jun sleeping soundly with an axe in his arms against the tree trunk. This mentality was indeed enviable. I remember that before the battle, I was always so excited that I couldn't sleep, and I was always sleepy at dawn. It took me a whole year to get better. By the way, I was lucky. If it were someone else, I guess my bones would be tiring now.
While thinking about it, I heard a slight sound from the sentry, but Xu Sixie ran back with the grass covered in her body.
"Commander, extend this direction and leave the woods. Less than five miles away, the left wing of the Chu army! I just saw that they had already consolidated their troops out of the camp and pressed down to the bottom of the gate. There were only a few thousand people left in the camp, and they were all infantry. We could completely drill through and break into the central camp before they gathered together!"
Xu Sixie lowered his voice and said excitedly, as if he saw himself rushing left and right among the Chu army, as if he was entering a no-man's realm.
"Okay! Complete the army!"
Ying Guang said: "The whole army advances slowly, lying near the edge of the forest, and follow my orders!"
On the front battlefield of Moling Pass, Lu Sushan decided to let go, and sent more than 20,000 people in the first wave, causing the battle to become fierce at the beginning. Countless ladders were erected under the city wall that lasted more than ten miles long. There was no focus, and there were also focus everywhere. The Chu army was constantly attacking the city wall. Minzhuang, who had never been on the battlefield, was also aroused blood. Although it was not an opponent of the well-trained Chu army, they were all fighting to the death. Often, the first one was stuck in the opponent's weapon with his body, and the person behind took the opportunity to pounce on it, pushed the Chu army desperately, and fell from the city wall with a roar.
Meng Wu jumped to the drumstick with his upper body naked, grabbed the drumstick, and turned into a semicircle!
"Dong!"
"Dongdong!"
"Random Old Qin, let me regain my rivers and mountains, and my blood will not flow dry, and I will never stop fighting."
Countless women and children rushed up to the city wall, using their hands and teeth to delay the attack of the Chu army, and gained a fatal opportunity for the Qin soldiers around them.
A white-haired old woman, with her head down, and a Chu army's sword was inserted into her body. However, her hands were still holding Chu army's legs tightly, making him unable to move. She could only helplessly cut off her neck by the roaring Qin army on the opposite side, and he didn't understand why these ordinary people had such amazing combat power.
"Dong!"
"Dongdong!"
"Random Old Qin, let me regain my rivers and mountains, and my blood will not flow dry, and I will never stop fighting."
"There is a great Qin in the west, and it is like the sun rising. The national hatred for a hundred years will be quelled."
Amid the heavy drum beats, fewer and fewer Qin soldiers on the city. The remaining Qin soldiers and the people were still fighting desperately with the Chu army. More and more Chu soldiers discovered Meng Wu who was beating the drums on the platform in the distance, so they all set their bows and arrows in an attempt to shoot the enemy chief and earned great contributions!
The guards stood around Mengwu, desperately blocking them with their shields. If they could not be blocked, they would use their bodies to hit them. The arrows on the platform were like rain, but Mengwu was like a reef on the shore. Under the escort of the guards, no matter how strong the wind and waves were, they would remain unmoved.
The drums keep ringing, and the Qin song keeps stopping!
"Dong!"
"Dongdong!"
"Random Old Qin, let me regain my rivers and mountains, and my blood will not flow dry, and I will never stop fighting."
"There is a great Qin in the west, and it is like the sun rising. The national hatred for a hundred years will be quelled."
"The world is full of trouble, how can I get Kang Ning? Qin has sharp soldiers, who will compete for power?"
Qin songs echoed the world, and the tired Qin army and the people hummed a low war song, plucked up their last strength, fought with the Chu army, and strangled the Chu army's pace.
In the distance, Ying Guang's more than a thousand iron cavalry were already on standby. Listening to the faint singing from Moling Pass, the soldiers were anxious!
"I won, let's attack. If you don't attack, Moling Pass will be broken!" Dian Jun held the axe tightly, and the blue veins in his hand exploded, still not knowing it.
The knights behind could not bear the burning fire in their hearts, and wished they could rush into the enemy camp immediately and sacrifice to the Qin people on the city with the enemy's blood.
Ying Guang was silent, staring at the Lu Shi Shi Shi Shi floating in the distance. He only had one chance to hit him. If he succeeded, he would survive in a desperate situation. If he failed, he would be wiped out!
Until the last reserve team of the Chu army rushed to the battlefield, Ying Guang loosened the tight reins.
"There are sharp men in Qin, who will compete for power!"
"Crack through! Chime through! Kill me!"
Ying Guang raised his sword and shouted! Dian Jun took the lead, rushed out of the woods and rushed straight to the left wing of the Chu army. The Qin soldiers behind him were not willing to be outdone, screamed and followed closely.
The antlers at the door could not stop Dian Jun's big axe, and were directly overturned to the side. Dian Jun was in front and Ying Guang was behind. The remaining iron cavalry in front blew past like the wind. Before the left-wing Chu army could organize a decent resistance, it was already penetrated.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!"
The sound of warning gongs in the Chu army formation sounded. Lu Sushan never expected that the Qin army would dare to detour behind the back at this time and endure it until he sent the final reserve team that he launched a fatal blow. This mentality and method... Lu Sushan shook his head. The commander's tent had been surrounded by the guards. Behind the layers of shield walls, the crossbowmen had already prepared, and the pale arrows were aimed at the direction of warning. The siege troops sent could not retreat. The Chu army on the front line of the camp had heard that once they retreated, the Chu army on the city would no longer have the will to fight, and this siege would have failed. The most terrifying thing was that the defeated troops rushed to the camp, and the advantages of his hard-working management would be gone.
There are a thousand personal guards around me, all of whom were selected from the army to be one or ten. It takes time for the troops in the battalion to gather with them. As long as you hold on here and keep the flag still, victory belongs to you!
"Carrying a round array!"
"Protection!"
"Clangqiang" The personal guards connected the shields together, and set up long spears to form a wall of iron!
Seeing that the Lu-zi Shishi was right in front of him, but was blocked by dense shield soldiers, the first wave of Qin soldiers hit him head-on!
With a loud "clang", the circular formation was slightly sunken, and then the formation rotated, and the sank returned to its original state. Seeing this, the cavalry behind did not slow down, but gently tilted the horse's head. The cavalry team drew an arc and ran past the circular formation.
Seeing that there were more and more Chu troops rushing to aid around, there was not much time left, Ying Guang gritted his teeth and shouted: "Return the horse's head and drill it through!"
"Old win, look at me!" Dian Jun roared, held a shield in his left hand, raised an axe in his right hand, tightened his legs, and jumped out and rushed towards the round formation.
"Big guy!" Ying Guangda rushed to speed up his troops and followed Dian Jun closely.
The moment the war horse came into contact with the shield, a miracle did not happen. Dian Jun's burly body was thrown high with inertia, and there were dense spear tips below!
In the air, Dian Jun was not panicked, pressing his shield under him, and a loud bang, dust flew. In the dust, a big man jumped up, grabbed a Chu army's neck with his left hand, and a big axe wheel with his right hand, and a bow left and right, which was invincible!
There were iron cavalry rushing forward, and fierce generals attacking behind. The Chu army was in chaos in the round formation, but he could not hear the commander's orders for a long time. The Chu soldiers had to fight each other. They had a brain to approach the commander so that they could act according to the order, but they could not see anyone on the left and right. When they looked closely, they saw that the Qin general who was rushing around in the formation was holding that he was not the commander's hand!
Seeing that the formation was in chaos and Ying Guang had arrived, Dian Jun turned around and saw that a white-bearded veteran stood there steadily under the handsome flag. He couldn't help but roar and headed straight for the man!
Lu Sushan stood under the banner and watched the tall man rushing towards him. The guards around him stepped forward and intercepted him, but saw that the man was ignoring the front and directly knocking him down, and the pursuers behind him cut off and stabbed the gun. The guy resisted with his heavy armor and thick flesh, allowing the flesh and blood to fly across the back without stopping, and was about to approach Lu Sushan!
No matter how brave and calm Lu Sushan was, he was so old that he could be the opponent of this strong man. The guards didn't care about Lu Sushan's scolding and set up the commander and left. The remaining guards stepped forward to entangle Dian Jun and prevented him from taking advantage of the situation to pursue him.
Ying Guang saw Lu Sushan retreating and couldn't catch up with him. He had a light in his mind and shouted at Dian Jun: "Big! Cut the flag of the coach!" He stepped up his horse's belly and rushed towards the coach's tent.
Not long after, thick smoke came out of the coach's tent, but Ying Guang used a brazier for heating to ignite the tent. Outside, Dian Jun had already reached the guard's flag, and the flag guard's bearer fought to the death and was chopped in half by Dian Jun with an axe.
Taking a deep breath, Dian Jun held the axe in both hands, raised it high above his shoulders, and exhaled: "Ha!"
The big axe slammed the wind and slashed heavily, and then he heard a "click" sound!
The Lu-zi Shuai flag, which was more than one person tall, began to tilt. As the flagpole broke, it fell faster and faster. With a loud bang, it hit the ground heavily.
Ying Guang shouted: "The thief Lu is dead, and those who surrender are exempt from death!"
The Qin soldiers suddenly realized, rode on horseback, galloped back and forth, shouting loudly: "The thief Lu is dead, and those who surrender are spared from death!"
"The thief Lu is dead!"
The Chu army was not aware of the situation, but saw the flag of the commander in the camp falling, the commander's tent was in flames, and the shouts of Lu's thief being dead were everywhere. People were panic and had no fighting spirit, and they retreated one after another. The Chu soldiers who had no time to climb down from the city jumped directly from the top of the city, and there were dead bodies below. If they jumped down, they would die. If they didn't jump, they would die. Didn't they see that the commander had been beheaded?!
With one thousand cavalry, you can win the risk and succeed in one blow!
Chapter completed!
