Chapter 229 Bloody King Mandu (12)
The bloody battle continued. Soon, the generals sent by Li Keyong were either killed in battle or seriously injured, and those who were still strong still plucked up their last breath to fight the Qi army that was in front. The offensive power of the Hedong Army was almost exhausted. From daytime to late at night, no matter how high the morale of the Hedong Army was, after all, people were not iron-clad. After a fight, the energy consumption of people was ten times hundred times that of usual.
Although there is dry food and water, the Hedong Army took turns to fill the stomach in the battle formation. However, until now, the retreating people are extremely weak, and the soldiers are shaking one by one, and they can't even pull them up. Some people even made heavy sleeping sounds in the pile of corpses. Until now, people are already numb. After the adrenal hormones subside, they are exhausted.
Although the Hedong Army had a advantage of nearly 100,000 against the Qi army, and as the attacking side, it was even cheaper to concentrate troops to attack. However, the Qi army was known for its good defense. Breaking through their layers of camps was really a reward for their lives, and the casualties were twice as high as those of the Qi army.
Moreover, the sacrifices and consumption of the Hedong Army are all the most brave soldiers! Those who can participate in attacking the Qi army camps do not just pull a soldier up. They also have various guardians in heavy armor and run forward, fight with the Qi army face to face, and fight hard with the Qi army, and fight hard to find a way out, only the most elite soldiers in the army. These soldiers are all chosen by one in a hundred and are truly worthy of fighting men.
Fill now, the elite Hedong Army troops that can be used for such assault have become extremely decayed, with more than half of the casualties. Although the dozen or so elite Hedong Army banners are still standing there, there are very few elite Hedong Army soldiers who can stand up under the banner and wait for the next attack!
The noise roared for the hundreds of drums in the middle of the night. The sound of golden drums now became weak. The sound of fighting on the battlefield that had been quieter came from afar. The dozens of Hedong Army generals who retreated were all covered in blood and flesh, kneeling in front of Li Keyong, all of them hanging down. Some of them were injured to the extreme, and they were kneeling there, blood sprinkling oil from the cracks of the armor leaves. Their bodies could not be shaken, as if they could be at any time. Li Cunxiao's identity was only under Li Keyong, and he knelt on one knee with his sword in his tone as if he was covered in blood: "Father, retreat, attack again tomorrow, attack again tomorrow! The men are all gone! All these elite soldiers are dead. Who else can we rely on to continue the bloody battle with the Qi army in the future? Retreat and take a breath and stabilize our camp. If the Qi army cannot capture Bianliang, let the Qi army fight with Zhu Wen for another time!"
Li Keyong just looked at his adopted sons with a cold face and said coldly: "I can't defeat the Qi army tonight. Do we still have a chance?"
"If we fight all these children, we will have no future in Hedong!" Li Cunxiao seemed to have taken the initiative and shouted loudly at Li Keyong.
Facing the roar of the general Li Cunxiao, Li Cunxiao was not angry and said lightly: "I have Hedong when I am here."
Li Cunxiao was also saddened by his children's injuries at this time. You should know that the few personal guards of the Hedong Army that were pieced together and rebuilt now are not fully established.
Li Cunxiao stood up suddenly and pointed at Qi Junying Pan opposite him: "What if I take down the camp in front of me and rush to Huang Chao's central army camp? There are also elite soldiers and generals led by Huang Chao and a strong central army camp! Father, do we still have the strength to attack again? Do we still have the flesh and blood of our children to fill it? If we really think about Hedong, let us have some bones and blood for Hedong!"
He also pointed to the Qi Jun camp opposite: "Gather our last little bit of blood and fight from Chang'an to the present. In fact, the world is so big, why have we ever been afraid of who we, Hedong Army? In fact, what we need most is to preserve the last power and retreat smoothly to Hedong. After ten years of life, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were in hand, so how can we become kings? Since the command of the army, why did we fight for the family's fortune for this ruined Tang Dynasty? It is already in front of us that the Tang Dynasty's luck can only be snatched back by our lives!"
Li Ke's chest was undulating, but his tone calmed down: "Can Bianliang be saved for the time being without repelling the Qi army? You and I know that the Tang Dynasty is just a stagnant. When the Qi army rests, the Tang Dynasty will no longer have the power to resist. It can only watch Chang'an fall again, watch Li become a slave of Huang Chao, and watch the Tang Dynasty collapse so much that there will be no thoughts! Tang Dynasty, with me, I cannot perish!"
The Hedong Army kneeling in front of him sounded a whimper, and everyone seemed to be stabbed by a needle, remembering the prosperous scene of the Tang Dynasty in the past. Only Li Cunxiao woke up from this heavy atmosphere and looked up at Li Ke's banner. He saw on the chaotic battlefield, the Hedong Army fought desperately with its wings to maintain a path under Li Ke's banner, and the figures of the cavalry from the brigade appeared in sight.
The firelight painted their figures lightly or darkly. First, a knight blew with a horn, and the tone became lower and lower, crashing into everyone's heart. These knights were the far-reaching cavalry of the Hedong Army. When the fierce battles were at the forefront, it was not time to use these elite heavy cavalry.
These Qinghua knights are the eyes and ears of the entire army. They must cover the entire battlefield and use them to explore the situation of the enemy surrounding them. Although these knights are all strong soldiers and can fully fight against the battlefield, the Hedong Army has never thought of throwing these too precious heavy cavalry into the flesh and blood grinding wheels attacking the Qi army camp!
Li Ke smiled faintly and moved his hand back. His personal guards had already brought a bag of armor and put a layer of heavy armor on Li Ke Yong. Another personal guard carried a long-handled gun and stood silently beside Xiao Gan: "No matter how I plan, no matter how a certain family wants to find a way out for the Tang Dynasty, I can only defeat Huang Chao. This person can be seen clearly. As long as we work harder and kill him in front of his central army camp, Huang Chao no longer has the courage to die in the bloody battle! I went to fight in person to break the Qi army camp. Whoever is willing to follow the footsteps of a certain family will follow!"
