Chapter 1061: Unless It's Your Corpse
Kuah Chau. [Lots of good]
Xingpingbo, Gao Jie, the commander of the Qin army, had never felt so cold as today, it was all May, but under the drizzle for dozens of days, the damp and cold breath still drilled into it from the cracks in the iron armor. In the camp behind him, the wails of the wounded soldiers came with the night wind, and the sound of fierce fighting at the beginning of the year made him upset for a while.
After a night's rest, not only did he not regain his energy, but his body was even more sore.
It was already past midnight, the sky in Jiangbei had not yet opened, and before dawn was the darkest period of the day, and the whole sky was like a black cauldron buttoned down, making people breathless. But the camps of the enemy and our armies in front of and behind him were brightly lit.
Tens of thousands of lanterns and bonfires illuminate the heavens and the earth for dozens of miles near the camp in Guazhou
。
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and human blood, which not even the night wind and cold rain could wash away.
In the far north, the enemy was tired from fighting, and although no large numbers were dispatched, the offensive continued. Looking at the past from here, you can still vaguely see the bloody corpses everywhere in front of the deer barricades, fences, horse rejections, low walls, and dock forts, including authentic Jiannu, Mongolian soldiers and Jianzhou Han Eight Banners. Countless rushing cars and crashes fell to the ground, burned to the ground.
Thinking in the light of the fire, the fierce Jiannu held a shield and carried a ladder, and rushed forward one after another, storming the defense line of Guazhou that he had arranged for a long time.
Such an offensive has been going on all day, and Jiannu has dispatched a total of more than 10,000 people this time, perhaps more. Judging from their banners, they are the ten Niu Lu of the Zhenghuang Banner, and there are many Han troops, and the leader is the Qing army general Bai Yintu.
Their own troops know best that since the Battle of Guide, Xuzhou has been lost, and the Qin army's morale has been lost, and they don't know how long it will take to recover. At this time, go out to the field and take the way of death.
Therefore, under Sun Yuan's suggestion, Gao Jie built strong fortifications in Guazhou early, and needed to be able to survive the attack of Jiannu for a few more days.
With Guazhou here, Duoduo could not attack Yangzhou with all his might, so this place naturally became the preferred target of Jiannu, which was expected by Gao Jie. It's just that he didn't expect the enemy's attack to be so fierce, and he fought fiercely for a whole day, and in the end, he directly came to attack the city with an ant, which was simply filled with human lives.
Jiannu pulled out one fortress after another, gradually extending the formation forward, and a large number of Qin soldiers died on the battlefield. [txt full works download] all day, Gao Jie didn't know how many hundred-man teams he sent out, but as soon as he went up, he collapsed in an instant, and when he was sent to the back, there were no soldiers to send.
The huge Guazhou is already leaking everywhere.
If it had been a field battle, the soldiers would have dispersed long ago. Fortunately, it was a defensive battle, and everyone had no way out, coupled with the harsh military law, they were finally still persistent.
But...... How long can it last......
Maybe it's the next moment, maybe it's going to last a day, right?
Gao Jie didn't count in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to sleep now, so he put on a raincoat and climbed the lookout and looked to the north blankly
。
Everywhere there was the sound of drums and the terrible sound of bull horns, and the Qin soldiers who were desperately defending responded to the enemy with feathered arrows and small cannons. The hot oil kept pouring down from above, and with the screams, the smell of burnt skin and flesh blew in the wind, and the Chinese wanted to vomit.
In the firelight, there were strange-shaped corpses in the distance, densely spread on the ground.
Flowing wounded soldiers were carried down from the front and passed under the lookouts.
Gao Jie's side stood beside the officials and generals of the Qin army, since Gao Jie accepted the imperial court's recruitment, the Qin army has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, what kind of battles have not been fought, and there are many vicious battles. But in general, on the battlefield, once the battle does not go well, in order to preserve his strength, Xing Pingbo finally left the battlefield with the main force and found a safe place to rest. It's the first time I've encountered a battle like today, where I fought so hard and squeezed the last bit of strength in my body so desperately.
Seeing the tragic situation of the troops, everyone's faces changed, among them, Gao Jie's nephew Li Benshen was even more pale, trembling all over, and muttered: "We can't fight like this anymore, we can't go on like this, at most, one day at most, our Qin army will have to lose everything." ”
When he started, a general was bold: "Chief soldier, what kind of battle is this, the brothers can't hold it, today and one day, 600 people from our department pulled up, and when they came down at night, only about 200 people were still standing...... Chief officer, no! Speaking of the back, his voice suddenly became hoarse, and tears suddenly came out of his eyes: "These are all old brothers when they were in Shaanxi, chief military officer, we only have two or three thousand such old brothers in total, so it is difficult to throw them here, so we can leave some blood and bones for us!" ”
Gao Jiehuo turned his head and stared at the subordinate fiercely, his gaze like a knife.
The general couldn't stand it, lowered his head, and only reached out to wipe his eyes.
After a long time, Gao Jie said coldly: "Don't you have about 200 people left, you slept all night, and then sent them at dawn." If it's gone, you go up. In this battle, a certain thing is to fill it with human lives. ”
"Chief Officer......" The general cried out sadly, and paused, "Come on, I'll give my life to the Chief Soldier later." With that, they all ran down the lookout.
Li Benshen relied on the fact that he was Gao Jie's blood relative, and said boldly: "Uncle, there is really no way to fight anymore, or retreat?" ”
"Retreat, where to retreat?" Gao Jie smiled coldly, and his eyes fell on the battlefield in front of him again: "So many people have died, this retreat, won't their sacrifices all be in vain, and Sun Yuan's arrangements won't all be in vain?" ”
In the distance, Hu Maozhen's troops were fighting, in the light and shadow of the bonfire, a large number of people **** their upper bodies, bags of sand and bags of defending equipment were transported to the battlefield, the rain and sweat on their bodies were rolling brightly in the firelight, and the officers and small officials were shouting the password hoarsely
。
From time to time, a raindrop of feathered arrows swept a row of figures to the ground, and the men scattered in a hurry, and then were driven up by the soldiers with weapons.
"Boom" A large group of firelight suddenly burst open, a low wall exploded in sight, and a large group of soldiers and civilians standing on the wall instantly flew into the air, and blood and flesh were scattered all over the eyes, but it turned out that Jiannu had buried a large amount of explosives under the wall.
A pointed wooden stake whirled and swirled towards the lookout under the action of the impact, and suddenly, there was a great chaos above, some people hurriedly fell down, and some people pounced on Gao Jie: "Protect the chief officer!" ”
"Get out of the way!" Gao Jie pushed away the guards hanging on his body, staring intently at the stake.
Fortunately, after flying some distance, the stake landed under the lookout and pinned a wounded soldier who was carrying it to the ground.
The wounded soldier was not dead for a while, looked at the stake stuck in his chest in disbelief, and was confused for a long time, and then cried out like a beast, stretched out his hand that had been burned out of the white bones and clung to the stake: "Kill me, kill me!" ”
The sound was terrifying.
On the lookout, an officer couldn't bear it, drew his bow, and shot an arrow down, and the cry could not be heard.
Li Ben shouted hoarsely: "Chief Soldier, you believe in Sun Yuan so much, he is not our Qin Army but Lao Tzu, why should you believe him?" We have made so many enmity with him, I am afraid that Sun Thief will wish that our whole army would be destroyed! Withdraw, the army will be gone. ”
"Slap" slapped him in the face.
Gao Jie's face was hideous: "What are you yelling at, are you still a man?" That's right, it's possible that our Qin army will all be lost here, but so what, it's still the same sentence, even if you want to withdraw, where can you withdraw, if you lose Yangzhou, Nanjing will not be protected, and without Nanjing, our Ming Dynasty will die. Others can surrender to Jiannu and be traitors, but I, Gaojie, can't. That's right, I'm not a good person, but don't forget, I'm a Han, I don't want to be a slave of Jiannu, I don't want to be a traitor
。 In the same way, Sun Yuan could not be a traitor, and I believe that his reinforcements will come. ”
Li Benshen cried: "Reinforcements, reinforcements, where are they!" ”
Gao Jie slapped him again, and roared in his throat: "Get down, take your men and horses to Hu Maozhen immediately, and don't come down until this battle is over, unless it's your corpse." Flee and escape, I remember that you seem to have been on the run since you led the troops, and you haven't fought a serious battle, and our Qin army's face has been lost. If it weren't for the fact that you were someone's own nephew, I wouldn't know how many times I would have looked at my head? ”
"In the past, so-and-so could spoil you and protect you. Can ...... now Fuck you, if you don't win this battle, you will die in this melon island, who cares about you, get out! ”
Li Benshen was slapped twice by Gao Jie, and the corners of his mouth were drawn blood: "Chief Officer, Chief Officer." ”
"Get out of here, or military law will be ruthless."
After drinking Li Benshen, all the generals saw Gao Jie's tough attitude, they all trembled and did not dare to speak, and they all accompanied him to stand on the lookout to watch the battle.
I don't know how long it has been, but the sky has turned slightly white.
Gao Jie seemed to have just noticed everyone's appearance, turned around, and glanced at everyone coldly: "Why, I still want to stay here, I'm sorry, I didn't prepare breakfast for you." Go back to control the troops immediately, and say that if you can't wait, it will be your turn to go up. The troops are gone, you guys. You're all gone, some-and-so, until the last soldier. ”
Driving away the generals, the rain was still falling, fine and dense, and bitterly cold.
Gao Jie clung to the railing, trying to poke his head north.
A new day is coming, and with the strength of my Qin army, we will be able to support it until tonight.
Is this the last day of someone's life?
Gua Chau, Gua Chau...... In the Ming Dynasty, Gao Jie dedicated the last drop of blood to you. Not because of loyalty, not because of fame and power, not because of promise.
I just don't want to shave my head like Hong Hengjiu and prostrate in front of aliens.
How can a man be a slave to others when he crisscrosses the heavens and the earth?
