Chapter 104: The Fall of Donghuang Town
After several hours of casualties, the Central Army cavalry finally took down Donghuang Town after paying for thousands of casualties. The layers of corpses made the commander Xue Wuman almost unable to settle down.
He saw that most of the defenders were civilians wearing thick burlap clothes. These civilians who had not been trained had blocked them for several hours, causing him to lose thousands of elite soldiers.
"These damn untouchables!" Xue Wuman couldn't help but curse, kicking the corpses that he disliked.
******* When he woke up, he was already lying in a huge pit, and his body was densely filled with corpses, including those of the dynasty soldiers and those of Xing Tu.
At the end of the fierce battle, ******* was knocked out of strength and was regarded as a dead body by the dynasty soldiers and threw them into the wilderness together.
*******All of pain, his arms and thighs were injured, and he struggled to get up in the corpse filled with mosquitoes.
In the dark night, there were silhouettes on Donghuang Town, and the battle flag of Xingtu Army was gone, replaced by the dragon flag of the Dynasty army.
"Ga—Ga—" Several dynasty cavalry rode past, and several ********* were lying on the ground, not daring to make any moves. He did not stand up until several patrol cavalry walked away.
Soon he found the corpse of Rodman, who had several blood holes pierced by a rifle in his chest. Rodman's body was covered in blood, and his body was stiff.
For the commander who had never retreated, ******* gently lowered his body, with grief in his eyes, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were filled with hatred.
The young and brave man who died in battle had his relatives and neighbors, and were full of murderous intentions towards the dynasty soldiers.
*******Put down Rodman's body, imitated Xing Tujun to salute him an unstandard military salute, then gritted his teeth, turned around and ran towards the darkness, he wanted to find Xing Tujun troops, he wanted to avenge his dead brothers!
On the avenue south of Donghuang Town, Che Linlin and Ma Xiaoxiao. In the dark night, a long torch dragon was advancing north. This was the First Corps of the Army led by Lin Chuan and the collapsed troops.
Now more than 20,000 Xingtu soldiers have gathered under Lin Chuan's command. Although they come from different flag regiments, after simple reorganization, they are now obeying Lin Chuan.
Looking at the marching troops rolling forward, Lin Chuan once again found confidence. As long as his troops could successfully deploy defenses in Donghuang Town, he would be confident that he would block more than 100,000 dynasties' pursuits.
"Have the scout sent out? What news is there in Donghuang Town?" Lin Chuan rode on the war horse, looking at the endless marching team, and asked Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan rode his horse and Lin Chuan side by side and replied loudly: "Sir, we had sent scouts a few hours ago, and we should be back soon now."
Lin Chuan nodded and said nothing. What he was most worried about now was that the defenders of Donghuang Town abandoned the city and left. Now the army has run out of food and urgently needs supplies.
"Ga—Ga—" The sound of horse hooves sounded in the darkness, and several outpost cavalry rode their horses to meet them.
Soon, the scout Qingqi, covered in mud, was taken to Lin Chuan.
Before the scout Qingqi stopped the war horse, Lin Chuan hurriedly asked: "How is Donghuang Town? Can the enemy troops be discovered!"
The scouts replied: "Sir, we found the enemy scouts twenty miles south of Donghuang Town. A few brothers died before escaping!"
The scouts' words made Lin Chuan feel sank. In this way, the enemy had arrived in Donghuang Town, blocking their way to retreat.
Lin Chuan continued to ask: "Do you know which unit they are?"
"Judged by the uniform, they are people of the Central Cavalry."
"Okay, you go down." Lin Chuan had guessed without asking that the Central Army's cavalry must have taken a small path to capture Donghuang Town, and wanted to annihilate the main force of the retreating Xingtu Army in one fell swoop.
Sith asked with concern: "What should we do now? We have been blocked from retreating."
"Start up the marching speed, these enemy cavalry are not good at defense, and we still have a chance!"
Hearing Lin Chuan's words, everyone's tense faces relaxed. Now they have 20,000 Xingtu warriors, and it may not be impossible to fight a path of blood.
The remnants of Lin Chuan's First Corps continued to advance northward. At midnight, they encountered the first batch of enemy cavalry.
Xue Wuman, the commander of the Central Army cavalry, knew that his cavalry was not good at defense, so he decided to take the initiative to attack. His 20,000 cavalry under him scattered out from all directions based on a team of thousands of people, preparing to eliminate the retreating Xing Tujun in the movement.
Although Xue Wuman's strategy was very correct, and the elite cavalry of a thousand-man team was enough to attack the infantry that had several times more powerful, he ignored one thing, that is, tens of thousands of troops had gathered under Lin Chuan's command.
In the darkness, when a cavalry unit of a thousand-person team shouted at the forefront of the marching First Corps, Lin Chuan reacted quickly and immediately dispatched troops to reinforce.
The vanguard troops were three thousand Xingtu soldiers led by the Sith. Facing the charge of enemy cavalry, Sith was very calm and ordered the formation on the spot.
Soon the cavalry crashed into the Sith's vanguard force, but beyond the expectations of the cavalry leader, the defeated soldier was not defeated, but was firmly fixed like a nail, and fought with the cavalry.
In the dark night, cavalry were constantly rolling down to the ground. Many Xing Tu soldiers hiding in the darkness swung their swords to cut off the legs of the war horses. The cavalry fell to the ground and were stabbed by several piercing guns before they even got up.
When a thousand cavalrymen felt something was wrong, his troops were already surrounded. The thousand cavalry were soon cut to pieces by the angry Xingtu soldiers, without a single living mouth.
The Xingtu army seized hundreds of war horses and continued to advance. Like the previous thousand people, several cavalry units discovered the advance of the Xingtu army. Before they could meet the rest of the cavalry units, they couldn't wait to rush up. The final result was that the Xingtu army had eaten nothing left.
The Xingtu soldiers who were inexplicably defeated in the Sanggan River are now like angry bulls, wantonly killing the Central Army cavalry in the dark.
In the second half of the night, Lin Chuan already had a cavalry with about two thousand people. Lin Chuan turned defense into attack, and two Central Army cavalry were lured and annihilated one after another.
Xue Wuman, the commander of the cavalry unit in Donghuang Town, was found in the south of the south and was shocked to find out that the Xingtu army had defeated the troops.
He hurriedly sent a messenger to ask the troops to move closer to Donghuang Town, but what made Xue Wuman vomit blood at this moment was that before his cavalry troops could gather together, the cavalry troops of Xingtu army had already appeared outside Donghuang Town.
The Xingtu cavalry threw the heads of dynasty soldiers to Donghuang Town, which seemed to be a rain of people. They fought fiercely overnight and killed more than 4,000 dynasty cavalrymen, which made Xue Wuman's face turn ashen.
