Chapter 1183 1184 [A little awe-inspiring energy] (9)

The Lingzhou left guard front army of 2,500 people, under the command of the commander, faced the vanguard army of Xiwu.

Like two torrents suddenly colliding on the flat Gaoyang Plain, Xu Shiji, one of them, was carried forward by the flow of people. He could only hold the spear tightly with both hands and stare straight ahead.

From the very beginning, the battle turned into extremely brutal hand-to-hand combat. People kept falling down in front. Xu Shiji was gasping for air, and his heart was beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

The long spear and horse formation was originally used to deal with the impact of the Xiwu cavalry, but this time the opponent did not send cavalry to charge into the formation for some reason, but instead used infantry to confront the enemy head-on. The formations of the two front armies continued to tangle during the battle, and gradually became a criss-crossing battle.

War situation.

There was a vast expanse before his eyes, with iron and blood intertwined and contending.

He saw the spear in the hand of a comrade on the right front being blocked by Wu Jun. The opponent strode forward and stabbed the soldier's lower abdomen with a steel knife. He twisted his wrist and the blade stirred in his lower abdomen. Such a noisy battlefield

On the top, Xu Shiji seemed to hear the miserable howl from his comrade, but the shouts stopped abruptly the next moment. He saw the comrade exerting his last remaining strength, holding the enemy's shoulders with both hands, and opened his mouth to slam into the enemy's throat.

Bite it down.

Xu Shiji recognized this man. He was originally a veteran of the Guping camp. On the southern battlefield two years ago, Ning Zhong and Lu Min organized two battles, but they were defeated by Zhang Qingbai. Guping's army lost more than half of its troops.

So after

Lai Guping Camp was abolished and downgraded to Guping Military Town. This old soldier named Zhou Lin was lucky enough to survive two disastrous defeats. After entering the Lingzhou Left Guard, he often taught life-saving lessons to recruits like Xu Shiji

experience.

Xu Shiji once thought that this was a veteran who was not doing well all day long, but once when the two were chatting on vacation, Zhou Lin said something that he remembered vividly.

"So many brothers are gone. In fact, I miss them very much."

When he said this, there was a solemn look on his face that was different from before.

At that time, Xu Shiji asked carefully: "Brother Zhou, have you ever thought about quitting the army and returning to your hometown to live a stable life?"

Zhou Lin smiled, looked at the starry sky in the east and said: "Go home? My home is in Dongqing Mansion. It was the place that was most severely attacked by the Xiwu cavalry more than ten years ago. Seven of my ancestors died at the hands of the Xiwu beasts.

Thirteen people. After taking Hucheng, the Western Army became stronger and stronger, and the tragic situation never happened again."

He paused and said nonchalantly: "Someone has to work hard."

Memories of the past flashed through his mind. Xu Shiji raised his hand and wiped his face. Without looking at Zhou Lin's fallen body, he gripped the spear and rushed forward.

"kill!"

When the spear pierced the body of a Wu soldier, Xu Shiji felt his whole body trembling. He didn't know why he had the urge to cry.

The wind blew loudly in front of him, and Xu Shiji ducked subconsciously. He could even feel the opponent's steel knife passing over his head, almost hitting his helmet.

Another spear rolled out from the front and directly penetrated the Wu Jun who was sneaking up on him. Then Qian Huai roared and forcibly picked the man up, and then hit the Wu Jun who was rushing in front with his backhand.

Xu Shiji jumped up and followed Qian Huai's footsteps and bravely moved forward.

At this moment, he no longer hesitated, only the word "fight to the death" came to his mind.

Not only were new recruits like him who were on the battlefield for the first time, but there were also many veterans of the Western Army who were born in the vast land of Lingzhou like Zhou Lin and Qian Huai. They had heard countless stories about the tragic past told by their elders in their families. In Lingzhou,

Under the command of Qi Jian, the commander of the Zhou Zuowei, the vanguard of the Western Wu North Route Army was driven back step by step.

The momentum is like a rainbow!

…

When Xie Lin arrived at the front army camp, the battle that lasted less than an hour had ended. Sun Qianqiu, the vanguard general and the infantry commander, stood dejectedly in the tent, lowering his eyebrows and saying: "General, the last general has no

Won the first victory, request military law!"

There was silence in the tent.

As all the generals know, in the military meeting before crossing the Beitiao River, Xie Lin had already made it clear that the next battle must be won but not defeated. Although no one can be invincible, this was the case in this opening battle.

He was anxious, and finally took the initiative to withdraw his troops to avoid Liang Jun, who became more and more courageous in the Vietnam War. Naturally, Sun Qianqiu needs to bear the responsibility.

Xie Lin said calmly: "Are these more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the other side the main force of the Longbow Camp?"

His expression was quite calm, and there was no anger in his eyes. Sun Qianqiu couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and said in a deep voice: "General, the general has been observing the strength of the enemy's vanguard. They must be the old soldiers retained by the Longbow Army.

They are definitely not new recruits recruited in the past six months."

The rest nodded one after another.

Although Sun Qianqiu apparently lost this battle, he was after all Xie Lin's most valued infantry commander. In the decisive battle on the northern front two years ago, Sun Qianqiu led the army to cut off the rear, and not only successfully covered the main force when they were defeated.

He retreated without being completely wiped out, which can be said to be a great achievement.

Xie Lin was silent for a moment and said slowly: "The Longbow Army has a total of 40,000 troops, of which nearly 40% are new soldiers. These people can only be used for defense. Taking the initiative to attack will inevitably cause chaos. I have ordered you to lead the vanguard in advance.

The attack is just to see the opponent's strength. Since the enemy's commander has sent out longbow veterans to fight from the beginning, and the strength of the two sides is about the same, victory or defeat is not important, so I will not punish you."

Sun Qianqiu knelt down on one knee and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, General, for your forgiveness!"

"Get up."

Xie Lin waved his hands calmly, walked to the simple sand table, looked at the sign of the Longbow Camp and said: "The enemy's thoughts are not difficult to guess. The reason why we want to use the main force to fight this battle is simply to strengthen the morale of the army and boost morale.

, just hold on to the military city. Furthermore, if the opponent is sure to eat your vanguard army, there is absolutely no way that they will only send tens of thousands of old soldiers to fight, and they will definitely go all out."

Zuo Xiao, the captain of the cavalry, echoed: "What the general said is absolutely true. Liang Jun seemed to have won a battle, but it also revealed that they are strong on the outside and weak on the inside. Then our army pressed forward in a big way, and at the same time let the cavalry attack from the flanks to attack Liang.

Within the country, we must first eat the opponent's limited reinforcements, and then we can work together to capture the Longbow Camp."

Xie Lin nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Zuo Xiao."

"The end is here!"

"Lead the troops and horses under your command and secretly go eastward from the south of Longgong Camp, echoing Xiao Qianshan's troops. Once Liang Jun sends reinforcements north, you and others will cut off the opponent's retreat and attack together."

"The last general takes command!"

Xie Lin thought in his mind that judging from the current battlefield situation, the only thing Liang Jun relied on was the strong Longbow Army City. In addition, the situation on the entire northern front was already very clear.

Liang Guo's Longgong Camp has no reinforcements and nearly half of its own recruits. It has become an essentially isolated island.

After thinking again and again, he finally made up his mind and said: "When Zuo Xiao leads the army to the predetermined position, the army will move forward to attack Longgong Army City!"

All the generals said in unison: "Obey the order!"
