Chapter 856: The Great Retreat

More than 5,000 Chai soldiers entered the camp of the Dingguo Army from the bank of the Yellow River under the leadership of Chai Jin, and the night was shrouded, coupled with the tight battle ahead, there was no one to defend the rear camp at all, that is, there were more than 200 people holding on to the baggage warehouse. Chai Jin commanded the troops to go ashore easily, and broke through from the rear to a range of dozens of zhang of the camp without encountering any decent resistance at all, and those sporadic obstacles, except for increasing casualties, did not bring any damage to Chai's soldiers and horses. The alarm of the enemy attack finally sounded, and the **** soldiers stationed in the warehouse first became nervous, because the sound of fighting was very close to the warehouse. No one knows how the rebels came ashore and appeared in the rear of the army, but everyone knows that the first target of the rebels must be grain and grass.

Chai Jin carried the sword of blood, and he didn't know how many **** blockades he had defeated along the way, and his goal was very clear, that is, to take down the grain and grass of Ding**** in one fell swoop. At this time, there was a commotion in the camp, and the soldiers who were still stationed in the camp had taken the initiative to assemble, Fan Wenyuan was busy feeding the horses, as soon as he heard a movement from the west, he threw a dustpan, found a knife and rushed out, and saw the soldiers who were coaxing outside, raised his hands and shouted, "The rebels must attack the granary, brothers, come with me to the granary, and the rebels must not be allowed to take away the grain and grass." ”

In fact, there is no need for Fan Wenyuan to shout, the **** soldiers who have freed up their hands have already taken the initiative to run to the grain and grass, they all know the importance of grain and grass, if the granary is taken by the rebels, what to eat and drink in the future, do you expect the brothers in the north to cross the Yellow River to send food to eat? Fan Wenyuan was sweating profusely, he observed the situation in the granary while running, and as time passed, his heart slowly sank. At this time, Fan Wenyuan looked forward to a fire on the side of the granary, if the rebels burned the granary, then there was still hope, but the granary has not been on fire. Burning grain and grass is a common method, and the rebels do not set fire, so there is only one reason, they have many soldiers and horses, and they have enough confidence to take and hold the granary, how many people did the rebels come? The granary is probably more auspicious, but Fan Wenyuan still rushed over with people stuffy, not far from the granary, and encountered a group of defeated remnants, who all found Fan Wenyuan, and said with a snort, "General Fan, a large number of rebels went to the granary, and the brothers wanted to save it, but they were outnumbered, there were too many rebels, and the granary may not be able to be saved." ”

"Shut up, how many people can stand up, rush over with Ben, and be sure to snatch the granary back!" How important the granary is, Fan Wenyuan knows better than anyone else in his heart. Eighty percent of the more than 60,000 soldiers on the entire south bank eat and drink in the Dongdaying granary, and if the Dongdaying granary falls, the soldiers on the south bank will immediately fall into a situation where there is no food to eat. There are no rations, how can this southern bank defense line be defended, no matter how powerful the soldiers are, without food, it is impossible to continue fighting hungry. Now Fan Wenyuan has gathered more than 300 soldiers, although the number is small, but for the current battalion, it is not easy to gather so many people in a short period of time. When they rushed to the granary, a group of people came to the west, and it turned out to be a group of soldiers from the wounded barracks. After learning that the granary of Dongdaying was attacked by the rebels, the wounded battalion spontaneously organized, and some lightly wounded soldiers gave up their injuries and took up arms and rushed over. At this time, it has reached the most critical juncture, as long as you can take up arms, you should go to support the granary. Everyone knows the situation in the camp too well, because the rebels exerted strong pressure on the front line, causing all the soldiers and horses in the battalion to be put into the front line, the rebels killed from the rear, there were no soldiers in the battalion to defend, and the front-line soldiers could not withdraw for a while, even if they returned to the camp as quickly as possible, it would be an hour later, and an hour was enough for the rebels to do a lot of things.

Seeing so many wounded soldiers rushing over to support, Fan Wenyuan, an iron-clad man, couldn't help but be a little moved, he didn't say anything, waved his hand and motioned the brothers to continue advancing towards the granary. Finally, I encountered the rebels on the periphery of the granary, and these rebels had as many as 500 people around them, and they had temporarily built a defensive line, obviously blocking the **** from supporting the granary. Raising the steel knife, Fan Wenyuan roared angrily, "Brothers, for the safety of the front-line soldiers, we must keep the granary, everyone follow me!" ”

Fan Wenyuan was the first to rush forward, but fortunately, the rebels did not bring many heavy arrows due to their haste of coming, so Fan Wenyuan and the others were not taken care of by the other party's bow and arrows, but the attack was not smooth. The rebels had already responded, so they guarded the narrow aisle, not seeking to quickly repel Fan Wenyuan, but only trying their best to hold back. Dozens of shields blocked the front, and the rebels did not retreat, and the situation was stalemate for a while. Fan Wenyuan was very anxious, he knew that this kind of situation was not good at all, although it was dozens of zhang away, but he could clearly hear the sound of fighting from the granary, and it was obvious that the rebels had attacked the granary.

The granary of Dongdaying has become a devil's hell at this time, and the tragedy of the battle is far beyond Fan Wenyuan's imagination. The **** soldiers knew the importance of the granary, so they all blocked the door of the granary and fought to the death. However, Chai Jin was well prepared, and the two crashing trees cooperated with each other, and finally stepped on the wooden gate, and when the granary gate was destroyed, the commander of the granary, Hagelun, ordered to retreat to the fence outside the gate five zhang to defend. Near the fence, more than 200 **** soldiers bravely and fearlessly blocked the crazy attack of the rebels, they had the body to resist countless knives and guns, one fell, the other made up, Chai Jin was already shocked by the **** in front of him, how did these soldiers who were not afraid of death exercise? There were more than 200 people, but it dragged on for half an hour, which was really terrifying. Chai Jin's ferocity was also slowly aroused, in the end, Chai Jin is also a person in the rivers and lakes, and his body has the character of a Jianghu person, seeing that he couldn't attack it for a long time, he scolded with a knife, "A group of waste, so many people can't take that bit of thieves for so long, it's really a shame." Huan Zhang, the people who led you up with me, Lao Tzu wants to see if these thieves have three heads and six arms? ”

In fact, the rebels can't be blamed for not being able to attack for a long time, the terrain in front of the granary fence is narrow, and it can't give full play to the advantage of troops at all, plus Hagellan's bloody battle, so he persevered. Chai Jin personally led the troops into the granary, and led the pro-army team composed of Jianghu people under his command to pounce, and the situation was suddenly reversed. Hagelen was seriously injured and fell, and no one could command the defense, Fan Wenyuan's soldiers and horses were dragged outside again, and the defense line that the granary defenders had worked so hard to support was broken through in an instant. Without the protection of the fence, the rebels broke through very smoothly, and in the face of the rebels who had far more troops than themselves, the **** soldiers resisted to the death, and they were inevitably destroyed after all. The one who can guard the granary must be a veteran of the battlefield from Dayangtan who has undergone countless experiences. Many of them are from Guanzhong, and they have experienced first-hand how their families lived a good life step by step under the rule of King Qin, and they know how reliable His Royal Highness King Qin's promises are, even if they die in battle, their families will receive a part of the pension every month, and future generations will be taken care of accordingly. The granary is crucial, and death is going to die here. Bai Jingfeng is thirty-one years old this year, and it has been seven years since he entered Dayangtan, and he has grown from a twenty-four-year-old young man to a veteran in his thirties, which is a rare fortune. The year before last, Bai Jingfeng, who was the deputy commander, returned to Dayangtan at the request of General Zhang Gong, picked up the whip of the instructor, and stayed in Dayangtan for two years. If it weren't for General Zhang Gong's accident, if it weren't for the menacing Chai family, maybe Bai Jingfeng would still be teaching those batches of recruits in Dayangtan. In order to go to the front, Bai Jingfeng abandoned the position of commander and preferred to be a veteran guarding the granary. Hagellen died in battle, Bai Jingfeng became the last reliance of this remnant army, watching more and more rebels pour in, Bai Jingfeng tore off a piece of cloth, tightly wrapped the steel knife with his right hand, and faced those bright knives and guns, he stood up straight, his eyes were full of madness, "Great Qin, never die, never die, His Royal Highness King Qin, Wan Sheng, His Royal Highness King Qin, Wan Sheng!" ”

There were only a dozen remnants of soldiers behind them, and they supported each other and shouted out with their last strength, "Great Qin, never die, His Royal Highness the King of Qin...... Wansheng ...... Wansheng! ”

In a troubled world, heroes are needed, maybe this is crazy worship, but only Zhao Yougong, the king of Qin, brought a glimmer of hope to the suffering Guanzhong and the suffering Great Song Dynasty. Who made the Song people straighten up again, and who made the Great Song regain their backbone? It is him, for His Royal Highness the King of Qin, even if he dies in battle, he still has no regrets, and it is the glory of a lifetime to be a soldier of His Royal Highness the King of Qin in this life, and perhaps thousands of years later, future generations will still be proud of it. Because, after all, this group of people will create a miracle and lead an era.

The decisive charge is a fight to hell, Bai Jingfeng knows that he will not survive, and the people behind him will not survive, they will not or watch the granary fall into the hands of the enemy. Too many rebels surrounded them, and one by one the **** soldiers fell, and in the end, only the scarred Bai Jingfeng remained, leaning on a wooden stake, and a Shuanglong military flag fluttered on the stake. More than a dozen remnants, the shock brought by their sworn charge was strong, everyone thought that Bai Jingfeng and these people would surrender, but who knows, they will resolutely choose death, especially the smile on Bai Jingfeng's face, it looks so incomprehensible and so weird.

Chai Jin separated the crowd and strode up, he looked up at the Shuanglong Army Banner over there, and then at Bai Jingfeng, who had no more life, and said earnestly, "Brother, your bravery has won respect, you are worthy of being a **** soldier, now, let's descend, I believe that even if Zhao Yougong is here, I won't blame you." Also, what's your name? ”

"White... Scenery... Peaks, under the military flag, there has never been a coward... Hehe..."Looking at the distant night sky, Bai Jingfeng thought of the bloody battle under Wuzhou City back then, when the military flag fluttered over Wuzhou City for the first time, Ding **** stood up, today, how could he fall in his hands Bai Jingfeng? An ordinary veteran, a proud man from Dayangtan, he leaned on the military flag and did not move away until he died.

The rebels took the granary, but for some reason, they didn't feel a trace of happiness, they seemed to see the future, with such a group of heroic soldiers, the road to the middle of the pass would become extremely difficult. The battle of the granary was over, Chai Jin immediately divided his troops to rush to the outer defense line, and saw Huan Zhang personally leading the troops over, Fan Wenyuan knew that the granary had been controlled by the rebels, and he tried to calm himself down and gave the order to retreat. The granary is not there, and it will be a senseless casualty if it continues to fight.

With the fall of the granary, the rebels swarmed in and occupied a large part of the camp area in the East Battalion, and Chai Keyan was already sitting in the tent of the East Camp to command the battle. It was only a matter of time before the eastern battalion fell, and almost at the same time, the main force of the rebels, who had received the news, gathered all their troops and horses in the eastern defense area, and the western front and the central line stopped the attack. This is that the rebels stopped attacking, and the soldiers stationed in the middle and western defense areas were not happy at all, because they knew that the rebels were doing it on purpose, they were going to regroup, cooperate with the soldiers and horses in the north to break through the eastern defense area, and when it was dawn, they could attack directly from the east.

In the camp, a group of grizzled generals gathered, and Pang He had a gloomy face, almost like a cannibal. The East Camp fell, all the grain and grass were taken away by the rebels, everything came too fast, and there was no time to react. At this moment, as long as you have a brain, you can feel how dangerous Ding ****'s situation is, Guan Sheng just rushed back, and said a little unwillingly, "General, let the last general lead the troops to the eastern front, we may not be able to stop the rebels if we increase the troops on the eastern front." ”

"No, tell everyone, no one should reinforce the Eastern Front, this is a military order, whoever dares to disobey will be dealt with by military law" Pang He stared at a pair of red eyes, extremely terrifying, no matter how heart-wrenching the situation was, Pang He did not lose his reason. It is absolutely impossible to increase troops on the Eastern Front, at this time to increase troops on the Eastern Front, Chai Keyan must not laugh and go crazy, the grain and grass are gone, and all the soldiers and horses stationed on the Eastern Front must face the situation of having no food. The rebels did not need to capture the Eastern Front at all, they only needed to continue to increase the pressure, at most only two days, and the defenders of the Eastern Front would collapse if they had no more food to eat. Therefore, at this time, it will not help to send many people to the Eastern Front, and the most important thing now is how to withdraw the defenders of the Eastern Front.

At this time, Xiao Yue and Hu Yanzhuo, who were stationed on the eastern front, were also doing the same thing, and the first thing Xiao Yue did was to send people to rush back to the rear and inform Pang He not to send reinforcements. The rebels pressed over with heavy troops, but they were not in a hurry to attack, and their intention was obvious, that is, they wanted to attract more **** soldiers to the Eastern Front.

Retreat has become a big problem for Xiao Yue, an army of nearly 14,000 people, how easy is it to withdraw under the heavy surveillance of the rebels? (To be continued.) )
