Chapter 689 Three days and three nights (5)

Seeing the main force of Gui Rong suddenly emerge from the secret, the soldiers of the Vietnamese army in the town were also panicked. Li Ling suddenly tightened the sword on his waist, regretting that he and Chen Daoshou still underestimated the enemy, and actually let them find loopholes and come to the front.

At this time, there were only about 200 soldiers left behind in Desheng Town, but how should we deal with it?

At this moment, many people looked at their main force in front of them who were still fighting in the enemy camp, and Lord Li, who was the highest in this place. At this time, Li Ling quickly calmed down and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, life and death are here! Take out all the bows and crossbows, listen to my orders, and send arrows to greet them!"

Although these imperial guards were frightened, Lord Li still listened to the orders of Lord Li and immediately took action. They picked up the crossbow that had never been used, and headed forward to look at the Guirong cavalry that was constantly approaching outside the town.

Li Ling's eyes narrowed into a line, drew out his long sword, pointed forward, and calculated the distance between the other party and the town. When they entered a hundred steps away, they roared without hesitation: "Shoot the arrow!"

Although I had discussed with Chen Daoshou before whether to use bows and arrows to fight the enemy, and I also agreed with the other party's concerns. However, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. When the town was facing the danger of being broken, some of the concerns were naturally thrown aside. For Li Ling now, it is the most important thing to repel the enemy and defend the town.

Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish... Nearly two hundred arrows flew out, covering the entire line of soldiers that Gui Rong charged. Fortunately, the perimeter of the Desheng Town was not large, which made the enemy unable to completely pull the team away and rushed, so that this round of arrows could find the enemy more easily.

For a moment, the twenty or thirty people who rushed in the front were shot and screamed and fell down with the people and horses. By the way, the cavalry behind could not escape and brought down another group of them. When the cavalry behind reacted, they quickly lifted the reins and jumped up with the horse, a new round of bows and arrows splashed over.

These imperial guards are indeed not as good as Fengzhou soldiers who have been in the northern border for many years in terms of personal martial arts or courage, experience, and so on. However, they also have their own strengths. One is that they are physically strong, and they can use one stone hard bows with both hands, and have long strength. It is not difficult to put at least one or twenty arrows in a row. The second is that they are willing to obey Li Ling's orders. Even if the enemy is coming, as long as Li Ling does not get confused and gives decisive orders, they can maintain a certain combat effectiveness.

So the arrows shot out in waves, and actually blocked the enemy's seemingly fierce attack, blocking them from the town. Moreover, in a short time, relying on the dense rain of arrows, they shot over one or two hundred Guirong cavalry, causing their screams to ring outside the town.

Seeing this effect, the confusion in the hearts of the soldiers disappeared, and Li Ling was also excited and became active, and then ordered: "Don't be aimed at the Guirong people and shoot their horses. If they lose their horses, their combat power will be reduced by 80%! Also, they will be divided into two teams and take turns to shoot arrows, without giving them any chance!"

Li Ling just made a general arrangement, and the following military officers would do the other details by themselves. So soon, the density of the arrow rain dropped a little, but it was endless and there was almost no gap. At the same time, these waves of arrow rain were deliberately pressing down, only calling on the enemy mounts, making the horse's neighing overwhelming screams. Soon a piece of horse corpse piled up, turning into another obstacle to the attack of the Guirong cavalry.

This made Gui Rong even more frightened. Finally, some people couldn't support it and pulled back. First, a few people spread to the entire front line. After leaving more than 200 corpses of horses, nearly 500 people turned around like a stray dog, which shocked the Gui Rong soldiers behind.

Hetu was in the central army and was so angry that he cursed, wishing he could kill a few guys who escaped in the battle to use the military method.

You should know that this time he had formulated the entire strategy of defeating the enemy in detail. For this reason, he tried his best to convince all the troops to cooperate with each other. In order to be foolproof, he even tried his best to build a wall on the river to attract the defenders in the town and then make the troops empty. He led the main force to ambush the troops one step earlier, and once the battle sounded at his own camp, he could forcibly attack the town.

In order to be more secure, and because he felt that the main force in the town would be unable to resist as soon as he left the door, Hetulai also divided the entire team into two parts. The forward was attacking the town with 500 vanguards, and more than 1,000 left were deployed behind, waiting for the main force of the Vietnamese army to attack from behind when they saw this.

As long as the main force of the Vietnamese army really kills the generals desperately to save Desheng Town, they will completely fall into the pocket formation he set up and be wiped out in one fell swoop.

It can be said that this time Hetura had a great appetite. Not only did he want to take over Desheng Town, but he also wanted to swallow the Vietnamese army in one bite. Of course, in order to achieve his goal, his arrangement was indeed detailed enough and he also received support from many people.

But the final result was completely contrary to his expectations. In the camp, the Vietnamese army only continued to charge after being exposed, but had no intention of returning to the town to help. What made him even more unacceptable was that the town's defense was so strong that they actually relied on the dense rain of arrows to repel the vanguard's attack.

Of course, if you really want to find a reason, Hetulai could say that he was not careful that the Yue army would actually take out bows and arrows, and there were such a large number of bows and arrows. You must know that in the previous battle, they did not even release a single arrow.

But now it is impossible to solve the problem. For him, the only way out is to break through the town, so he hesitated, quickly bit his teeth, pulled out his scimitar, slammed the horse forward, shouted: "We have no choice anymore. Kill, take down the town, and seize the food. Kill me, and if there are those who retreat, kill me, don't worry!"

Hetulai said this to both the leaders of the tribes beside him, and to his own tribes. The latter understood it, and immediately shouted and followed, pulled out his knife, shouted and yelled, and cut off the deserters who had just run to the front of him.

This movement really worked, which made everyone feel terrified, and they had to follow them. The retreating Guirong cavalry were forced to turn around again, the entire army was united and rushed forward fiercely again, vowing to step onto this small victorious town into a flat ground.

"Kill--" With a scream, more than a thousand Guirong cavalry rushed over with fierce momentum.

In this way, the mere 200 soldiers guarding the town seemed too thin. The arrows they shot could only shoot over dozens of people in the front, but the cavalry behind did not even reduce their speed. They stepped on the blood and limbs of the tribe and rushed into the town.

"Young Master, let's retreat..." Seeing that the enemy was about to rush into the town and his family was powerless to resist, Li Moyun shouted anxiously.

Li Ling's face was calm and he did not move at all, and said in a deep voice: "No! Since I am the chief general of this army, there is no reason to retreat at this time! Once we retreat, we will have to die. General Chen will come soon. As long as we persist for a while and block them, we will not only survive, but also protect our food and supplies! Follow me and kill!"

With a loud shout, Li Ling no longer had the gentle appearance of being before. He waved the sword in his hand and rushed forward without hesitation. Seeing this, Li Moyun was so scared that he was trembling, but his steps had quickly followed, holding his sword by his young master, and he had to keep him safe no matter what.

As the saying goes, soldiers are the courage of generals, and generals are the soul of soldiers! It is also said that generals are in a nest. When the generals are not afraid of life and death, they will take the lead in charge, and naturally they will infect subordinate soldiers. For a moment, the imperial guards who have never fought with the enemy before were all red, and they have no panic in their hearts. Some of them are just the ambition to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. They roared and followed Li Ling forward. After a few steps, many people rushed before Lord Li, who was a civil servant, and collided head-on to the Guirong people riding on their horses.

In an instant, a fierce battle broke out, shouting, screaming, jingling... All sounds filled the entire town and the entire night sky.

Although the number of left-behind Vietnamese soldiers was limited, their morale outweighed the Guirong people. At the moment of fighting, they could even push the enemy forward. It was not until this momentum was exhausted that the battle situation fell into a stalemate and gradually disappeared.

Li Ling's side, facing the enemy from three sides, he could only wave his long sword to block the scimitar that was constantly attacking. After a few strokes, his arms were numb and his hands were a little weak. Although his mental power could be aroused for a while, in fact, his body was still too far from these fierce grassland warriors.

If Li Moyun hadn't been standing by the side, he would have been dismembered by random swords. But even so, he was still in danger at all times. Li Moyun's martial arts skills were so good that he could not take care of everything among thousands of troops. So, while he slashed the enemy who rushed to the front of him with one knife, a scimitar went around him, hitting the waist of Li Ling who could not dodge.

After a sudden attack, Li Ling snorted and his body was thrown out. He felt that his internal organs were shattered by this, and then a large mouthful of blood was spurted out. The little bit of hand-paced practice at home was really useless on the battlefield.

"Young Master-!" Li Moyun was so scared that his souls and seven spirits were about to dissipate. While screaming loudly, the knife in his hand turned into a stream of light. He killed all the Gui Rong soldiers who wanted to rush to cut off Li Ling's head. The man rushed to the front and hurried to see Li Ling's situation.

Li Ling landed on the ground, thumped for a few times, but couldn't get up, but he still tried hard to shout, "I can't die!" Because he was still wearing that armor, although he had hurt his internal organs, he had never had any real worries about his life.
