Chapter 72 The Last Madness (Part 2)
Just when the soldiers of Tianxing Army were about to kill Ji Huailiang and others, a dense "swish swish swish" suddenly came from the darkness inside the city wall. Seeing that the Tang army was out of reach, the soldiers of Tianxing Army occupied a large section of the city wall and their vigilance was reduced.
This wave of arrow rain came in a dense way, instantly shrouding Tianxing Army in the arrow rain.
The Tianxing Army's equipment was very poor, half of them had no armor. Even the soldiers with armor were mostly light leather armor, and the iron armor was less than one hundred. Under the blow of a rain of arrows, the Tianxing Army was suddenly in chaos.
The Tang army's reinforcements finally arrived in an emergency and critical moment. The soldiers of the Tianxing Army, who were caught off guard, were repelled by the reinforcements brought by Xu Jingzong.
Seeing that the soldiers of Tianxing Army were retreating step by step, the cooked duck was about to fly away. How could Fan Junzhang give up?
Fan Junzhang ordered all the troops from other parties in the south, north and west to withdraw their feint attacks and concentrate their efforts to attack one point.
In terms of military tactics, Fan Junzhang did not make any mistakes. After all, he still occupied nearly a hundred steps of space on the city wall, and this steep slope could continuously increase troops to the city.
Zhang Huaiwei, who was commanding the battle in the south city, saw the enemy slowly returning. At this time, he finally realized it. He led the Fifth Regiment to the east city at all costs.
At this time, the focus of the offensive and defensive aspects of Shenchi County was concentrated on the Dongcheng City Wall. The Tang army controlled the horse road in the city, while the Tianxing army controlled the steep slope at the gap. The two sides fought fiercely within the city wall of more than 200 steps from the Dongcheng City Gate Tower to the first enemy building.
The personal guards led by Xu Jingzong were actually only more than 100, but they caught Tianxing Army off guard. When the soldiers of Tianxing Army reacted, Xu Jingzong's performance was not much better. In just a quarter of an hour, more than two-thirds of the personal guards of Xu Jingzong were killed or injured, and were compressed by Tianxing Army soldiers in a position of about thirty steps before the horse road.
If you retreat again, you will be on the road below. Once this frontier position is lost, it means that Shenchi County is lost.
Fortunately, Zhang Huaiwei arrived in Dongcheng when Xu Jingzong was about to lose his last position.
This time it suddenly became even more lively. The two sides fought fiercely around the city wall of Dongcheng, which was only 200 steps. Now it has become a tactic of adding fuel to the oil. The wall of Dongcheng became a huge flesh-and-blood mill, swallowing the soldiers on both sides.
Fan Junzhang closed his eyes and seemed to have entered a state of unwavering ancient wells.
Fan Junzhang's deputy general looked at the still-stalemate battle on the city wall and asked in confusion: "Generally speaking, when a team of people loses 10% and a half, a large-scale defeat will occur. If it is an elite soldier, then at most 30%. However, this Tang army has nearly half of the casualties and there is no sign of defeat..."
Fan Junzhang slowly opened his eyes and revealed an astonishing light: "This is not an elite soldier!"
"Not an elite soldier!"
The deputy general said in surprise: "Why is such a well-equipped army not considered elite soldiers?"
As the two sides fought in Shenchi City for more than an hour, the third regiment of the Tang army was wiped out, and the fifth regiment was half-remn. Even the newly drawn fourth regiment also defeated a brigade. In fact, there were only two infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment left in the first Dingyuan Army at this time, and the entire army was more than 1,800. At this time, there were less than 1,000 soldiers who could fight.
Fan Junzhang said: "Since ancient times, surprise attacks will lead to land and then abide by the land. When Cao Cao led 5,000 troops to attack Wuchao, Liu Laozhi led 5,000 Northern Palace troops to attack Luojian at night, using not elite soldiers, but dead soldiers. This army was sent by Chen Ying'er to attack Shenchi. They had no reinforcements and no way out, so they could only fight to the end!"
Dang--
A brave Tianxing Junior general swung the mace in his hand and smashed it on Zhang Huaiwei's head. Zhang Huaiwei held the horizontal knife tightly in his hands to block it. With a harsh golden sound, Zhang Huaiwei's hand was empty. The horizontal knife in his hand was actually smashed away.
The Tianxing Army School rushed towards Zhang Huaiwei excitedly. Zhang Huaiwei subconsciously pulled back, but stepped on the air. If Zhang Huaiwei had not seen him as soon as possible, he would have rolled down to the city like a rolling gourd. Zhang Huaiwei took a breath of air conditioning. At this time, he had retreated to the stairs of the downhill. If he retreated again, the Shenchi would have lost.
Seeing that the last position was about to be lost, the morale of the Tianxing Army soldiers, which had the absolute advantage, was greatly boosted. More and more Tianxing Army rushed up to the city wall. Looking around, the city wall was filled with Tianxing Army soldiers, and roughly estimated that there were more than a thousand people.
Zhang Huaiwei looked at the soldiers beside him with a strong look of fatigue, and his heart was filled with helplessness.
He had no knowledge and had no ambition to be a marquis and generals.
He is just an ordinary person.
If I die, what will Yan Niang do? If I retreat, with my own relationship with Chen Ying, Chen Ying will not use his head to correct the military law. Whether Chen Ying will be favored by personal gains, Zhang Huaiwei is really not sure about this.
At this time, Zhang Huaiwei became nervous.
However, at this moment, a group of people emerged on the streets of the city, including men, women, elderly, weak, women and children. Unexpectedly, the crowd saw Yan.
At this time, Yan was actually wearing a bright red wedding dress.
Zhang Huaiwei said intimately: "Why is she here?"
After all, Yan is the wife of the county magistrate, and her knowledge is much better than that of fighting the little people. Now she has committed herself to Zhang Huaiwei. If Zhang Huaiwei abandons the city and runs away, Yan is not sure what will happen to him, but she is very clear that she will definitely be the target of the people's anger. If she cuts her with one knife, it will definitely be a cheap one. The most ideal way to die is to be red, and the body is to ride a wooden donkey around the city for three days.
So, thinking of this, Yan put on the wedding dress he bought for his daughter and walked to the battlefield. She needed to give Zhang Huaiwei enough courage.
Yan looked at Zhang Huaiwei and said, "General Zhang, you have tried your best. The bandits are just asking for money. We, the people of Shenchi, have prepared the wealth and the woman's Rouran's chest..."
When Zhang Huaiwei saw Yan's family, he had originally wanted to deflate and suddenly had an inexplicable force in his heart. Zhang Huaiwei shouted: "Brothers, when will our Dingyuan Army be so successful that even women look down on us?"
The originally exhausted Tang army soldiers suddenly started to roar!
"Woman's soft breasts? What does this mean!"
"Damn it, bullshit!"
Zhang Huaiwei yelled: "Is it because our first Zhe Chong Mansion that even women look down on us?"
"You can't let a bandit step onto the city!"
"Kill, kill! Let these bandits come and go!"
Amid the Tang army's roar, there were living people who kept falling and dying, and some had become dead before they even landed.
Yan appeared under the city, and all the men were ignited with anger. They straightened their backs and squeezed out all the strength of their bodies. They would rather take off their strength than let women look down on them.
Below Zhang Huaiwei, the soldiers of Dingyuan Army launched an absolute counterattack against the Tianxing Army soldiers on the city wall. Faced with the swords and arrow rain of the Tianxing Army soldiers, the soldiers of the Tang Army did not dodge, but just held up their shields to rush forward! Some were shot through their heads by arrows but not dead for a while, and some were cut off their arms and left with breath, but they were still bursting out with the last force to crawl forward and roll forward! It seemed that the dense formation of the Tianxing Army was not hell, but heaven!
One person fought hard, ten people were invincible. But Zhang Huaiwei now led all the soldiers of the First Zhechong Mansion to fight hard and launch a mad attack.
At this time, Zhang Huaiwei's eyes were red.
He only had one thought left, attack, attack, attack again!!!
