0738 Binh Duong Guo Chan
The narrow terrain between the deep trenches determined that the battle could not be spread out widely, so even if a large number of slaves had poured into the front now, it would be difficult to give full play to the numerical advantage and surround and strangle the Huainan army. Therefore, the battle at this time is limited to the current terrain section.
In addition to the slave soldiers who were fighting with the Huainan army, the rest were racing for time to erect pontoon bridges as passages to pave the way for the people and horses behind.
Such a battlefield environment is still extremely favorable for the Huainan Army. Although the Huainan Army had won many victories before, there were not many real hard battles. In addition, Huainan has not been established for a long time, and the composition of the soldiers is also extremely complex, including the military families of Jiangzhou scholars, the children of Wuzhong families, and there are also many refugees from Huaidi and Tuzhong.
Although the Huainan army is known for its excellent equipment, it has rarely been defeated. When it comes to the quality of individual soldiers, they are not necessarily inferior to the elite of these slave soldiers. However, in all wars, even in fights of as small as thirty or fifty people, the elements of individual martial arts will be weakened, especially when the two armies are fighting against each other and have begun to engage in hand-to-hand combat in a completely disorderly and formational battle, and when the rest have no obvious superiority in any way, it is often the momentum that determines the victory or defeat.
This slave army that is fighting with the Huainan Army is the descendant of the Later Zhao Shihu, whether it is the quality of the soldiers or the use of armaments, it can be said that it is the best of the hundreds of thousands of slave troops, especially the rich combat experience, far from being comparable to the Huainan Army, which has been in the army for less than a year.
They were only trapped by the current terrain, and many military formations were difficult to cooperate, and they could only crowd together like a new army to kill and wound the enemy they faced as much as possible, so they gave up their great advantage.
But even so, the situation was still very unfavorable for the Huainan army. The ferocity and bravery of the slave soldiers in front of them are the only ones they have seen since they joined the army. Often slashing out with a knife, it is clear that the other party has been seriously injured and fell to the ground, but once they ignore it, the seriously injured slave soldier will suddenly burst out and hurt people. Its stubbornness and ferocity made the opponents feel frightened, and they did not dare to slack off for a moment, and even the corpse in front of them made people feel at ease.
The desperate fighting style of the slave soldiers soon made the Huainan army suffer a big loss, especially the slave army spread out on the flank, drawing the bow and shooting, so the Huainan army in the battle line could not open the battle line, and could only shrink and gather as much as possible to reduce the contact surface with the enemy, so as to reduce casualties and get a chance to breathe.
Previously, he was trapped in the terrain, and was frequently shot by the strong bow of the Huainan army, which suppressed the difficulty of the slave army, and he had a lot of hatred in his heart. So when now that there is finally a chance to fight closely, the slave soldiers are also arrogant and tyrannical to the extreme. Some slave soldiers even disliked the armor and hindered their movements, so they simply took off their armor and fought shirtless, so as to compete for more gains. In their opinion, the Jin people are all weak and deceitful, and all the things they feared earlier are now gone, and they are not to be afraid, they are just waiting to be killed!
However, the Huainan Army is not too weak to be attacked, and it can still maintain its non-defeat despite such a difference in the superiority of the enemy and us on the battlefield, and it already has the foundation for a strong army. It's just that the slave army's style of play is too tragic, which makes them accept incompetence for a while, and the enemy is outnumbered, so it falls on the disadvantage.
Therefore, when some of the slave army arrogantly removed their armor, the casualties of the slave army increased sharply, which made the commanders of the soldiers also frightened, and strictly ordered the soldiers not to take off the armor of the enemy. If there were such deeds, although the battle was fruitless, it was only then that the situation was stopped from becoming even worse, so that the besieged Huainan army could not break through.
On the long and narrow front, Guo Yu and the others seemed to rush into the torrent in the river valley, rushing forward arbitrarily. Guo Yuqi was originally a fierce general in the north, and when fighting against the slave army, he often defeated the strong with the weak. If it weren't for the lack of soldiers and support, the fame would never stop there!
Later, since the horse was raised, he guarded more than the side, and there was less of the refreshing of rushing to fight, but his skills did not fall, and now he is in his prime, although his physical strength has dropped slightly from the peak, but the combat experience has been accumulated. This time he personally entered the battle to fight, how could these ordinary pawns be his opponents, the swords and spears in their hands flew over, and there was almost no enemy under the edge, and they were all invincible, sweeping forward like a storm!
His people are strong and brave to fight, burly and strong under the heavy armor, walking a foot, the feet are already full of blood, and the bones are stacked! Even if one or two slip through the net, they will have their own robes and guns to fight fiercely, killing the enemy on the way!
"Here comes the knife!"
A knife slashed the head of the slave soldier in front of him, the blade in Guo Chen's hand was already dull, it was difficult to break the armor, and with a shake of his backhand, he slammed into the chest of a slave soldier with a spear beside him, and then turned around and fished out, and a sharp ring-headed knife fell into his hand again, and continued to slash forward to kill the enemy. Again slashed several enemies blocking in front of him, and finally killed an enemy formation. And the Huainan soldiers who were besieged here saw Guo Yu and others rushing into the battle covered in blood, and they also let out cheers for the rest of their lives.
This army originally numbered more than 500 people, but after being besieged and fighting fiercely so far, less than 300 people can still stand. In such a short period of time, the damage has been nearly half, the slave soldiers are surrounded by the left and right, and at the same time there are flank shots, within this small area, it has become a place where the corpses are buried, and the four sides are desperate, and the ferocity of the slave soldiers leaves no room for brutality, and only a death battle can temporarily keep alive for a while. In the battle, there are already corpses as high as half a zhang here, and the left and right trenches are full of stumps and broken arms!
Such a tragic battle is almost like a nightmare, and if it continues any longer, I am afraid that the soldiers will collapse even if they do not die. At this time, seeing Guo Yu and others breaking off the fence and rushing into the battle to rescue them, some people couldn't help but cry with joy, and blood and tears flowed on their faces.
"Don't slack off yet! Those who can still fight, kill the enemy with me! ”
Guo Yu didn't have time to comfort these soldiers who had fought hard to support him, and led the crowd to pass through quickly, continuing to devote himself to the fight. As his troops dug through several slave battle formations, more and more soldiers gathered behind him, so the pressure on the slave army increased. Although they are brave and brave to fight, they may not be afraid of death, so everywhere they originally fought fiercely, there are gradually soldiers who retreat, no longer directly being the more fierce and fierce the Huainan army, and gathering more and more.
This front, which was originally lost by accident, was withdrawn little by little, and Guo Yu entered the fierce battle for nearly half an hour, killing all the way to the riverside. Looking at his bloodstained march step by step, he directly penetrated an entire battle line! And in the process, more than 1,000 soldiers also gathered around him, and as for the rest, they were either seriously injured and unable to rescue them for the time being, or they were already lying on the ground.
And the slave army on the opposite side, naturally, also paid an extremely tragic price, although they thought they were brave and capable of fighting, but when the fight was coming to an end, they were also killed by Guo Yu's people, and they didn't even dare to step forward.
Zhang Jackal was leading the overseer in front of the first trench at this time, and he didn't care about it when he saw Guo Yu leading the crowd into the battle bravely, and he wanted to rely on his own people to cover and kill a brave general in the enemy camp.
But this battlefield environment is really not conducive to large-scale deployment of troops, seeing the opponent's momentum gradually growing, vertical and horizontal, he gradually has a sense of awe-inspiring in his heart, especially seeing that the soldiers in his department are extremely injured, it is even more heartbroken, and he ordered his heart to rush into the formation, but he didn't expect to be killed by the opponent within a few rounds, and he couldn't help but be more anxious.
Although Zhang Jackal was also able to emerge because of his martial arts before, as the number of positions of power and the public increased, he gradually stopped fighting in person, and his skills were inevitably slack. Moreover, he is the confidant of the King of Zhongshan, in charge of tens of thousands of people, his life is already precious, and there is no need to rush into battle to invite the future wealth, and it is not worth personally fighting with the nameless generals of the Southern Army.
Seeing that the other party was gradually uncontrollable in the battle array, and several soldiers under his command who were known for their martial arts and bravery were all killed, Zhang Jackal had a headache, and he gradually had the intention of retreating. The current breakthrough is already good, and the next step is to fight steadily and fill in the trenches that have been fought for, so as to create an open environment for the army to arrange troops.
However, the king of Zhongshan, who was watching the battle in the back, did not give an order for a long time, and Zhang Jackal did not dare to order the retreat of the troops on his own initiative, so he could only organize the soldiers who were killed and retreated to arrange a formation on the second front and put on a posture of being about to counterattack. However, this kind of narrow and long battlefield environment is not conducive to the laying and investment of battle formations, and it is a battlefield situation of fighting generals.
The bravery of the general in the enemy camp, Zhang Jackal saw it in his eyes, and he was not confident enough to think that he would be able to cut the opponent straight down when he was down, even if he planned a counterattack, he could only use his life to fight to besiege and kill the opponent on this unfavorable battlefield.
Zhang Jackal was a little entangled here, and finally a messenger from the King of Zhongshan galloped into the battle, but he did not explain the tactical problem, but only ordered to inquire about the name of the other party's general. Although Zhang Jackal had jealousy in his heart, he could only make people shout and ask in front of the formation.
Killing the slave army of this entire front, Guo Yu and his followers were also exhausted at this time, at this time some soldiers were busy re-erecting obstacles such as wooden fences destroyed by the enemy, and the rest were sitting on the ground, fighting for this small amount of respite to recover their strength.
At this time, hearing the shouts in the enemy formation, Guo Yu squeezed out a smile on his tired face, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Tell them, Pingyang Guo Yu, the butcher's knife has been sharpened for a long time, and Ji Long will be slaughtered here!" ”
