Chapter 201: Bitter Battle
At the beginning of the morning, a Ming Di in the Bai camp under the mountain rushed into the air, accompanied by a sharp whistle, a group of barbarian soldiers rushed out of the camp and forced to the foot of the mountain. Hu He is not in a hurry, Li Qing is the commander of Dingzhou, he is surrounded here, Dingzhou will inevitably send troops to the rescue, but the handsome Long Xiao army is also approaching this side, intercepting reinforcements, if Dingzhou is lonely, then Da Dan Yu will send more tribal troops to participate, this big battle with Dingzhou was carried out in advance, although the winter battle is not good for the grassland, but the commander of Dingzhou Li Qing is in a desperate situation, but the impact of these disadvantages is all offset, as long as Li Qing is eliminated, the resistance of Dingzhou will collapse, and the grassland army will drive straight inNo more obstacles.
The cavalry attack is unfavorable, the current hillside, scattered everywhere boulders, logs, the opponent has dug countless tunnels, only a passage that is not more than a few tens of meters wide is clean, but Hu He will not be stupid enough to attack from here, presumably before that passage, Li Qing has prepared countless surprises for him.
The cavalry dismounted, turned into foot soldiers, held a huge shield, and began to attack, Hu He decided to fight a war of attrition with Li Qing, draining Li Qing's strength little by little, until finally launching a thunderous blow, Hu He felt that he had plenty of time to do this. In the direction of Dingyuan, he has deployed heavy troops, which are enough to resist the rescue of the Dingzhou army, and he doesn't want to believe that Dingzhou still has a stronger combat power than the pro-guard battalion. Li Qing's army will not have too many arrows, when the opponent's arrows are consumed, it is the time when the two armies are close to each other, and at that time, it is the time when he attacks on a large scale, he will fill it with human lives, and he will leave Li Qing on this white mountain.
The contemplative Hu He saw his soldiers approaching the opponent's defense, and then flew down from the mountain to throw spears like rain, striking the giant shield, clanging, the soldiers holding the giant shield were a little overwhelmed, and if the giant shield was crooked, they would be nailed to the ground like a rain of throwing spears.
When they got closer, the soldiers on the mountain stood up, and several people worked together to hold up the wooden and threw it down with all their might, knocking down the attacking soldiers in rows, and often at this time, these Dingzhou soldiers would also be shot down by the sharp arrows whistling down the mountain. But what made Hu He shake his head was that the opponent's armor was too sophisticated, even if it was an arrow, it would not cause too serious injuries, and it would not even affect the opponent's battle.
Holding an arrow in his hand, Hu He sighed, Dingzhou is really rich, this arrow is actually made of iron, and the arrow is triangular, not the flat arrow used in the grassland.
The war gradually entered a white-hot state, the Bai soldiers were good at field warfare, immediately fighting, for this kind of offensive and defensive operations were not so handy, the huge casualties instead aroused the wild surnames of these soldiers, roaring, regardless of the upward charge, relying on the advantage in numbers, slowly approaching Li Qing's first line of defense.
The Dingzhou army began to counterattack, from the specially set aside passage, hundreds of soldiers of the personal guard battalion under the leadership of Lu Dabing and Tang Hu, two sharp soldiers, rushed out, rushed all the way along the gentle slope, and killed the attacking foot soldiers in all directions. Tang Hu's double knives have been cut open, and in this round of attacks, dozens of brothers were left outside in the guard battalion, and it was impossible to come back.
Lu Dabing, who was covered in blood, wiped the blood on his hands and the handle of the gun, and walked up to Li Qing, "Marshal, the barbarian's attack is getting more and more fierce, and the dog is really deadly!" ”
Li Qing smiled, "Soldier, it's still early, and the real bloody battle is still to come." ”
Lu Dabing said with a smile: "Anyway, the soldiers are coming to block it, the water is flooding, and they also want to capture our position?" Dreaming, I just don't know how many days I have to hold on? Marshal, you say, when will the reinforcements arrive? ”
Li Qing shook his head, "What I'm most worried about is this, if Shang Haibo uses all the Dingzhou soldiers to rescue us, presumably the grassland barbarians will also increase their troops here, then, the decisive battle between us and the barbarians will come in advance, which is what I don't want to see, but Bayar is happy to do so, because now he has me as a bait here, and he can attract all the Dingzhou soldiers." If Shang Haibo really did this, we would be attacked even more violently. ”
Lu Dabing's expression changed slightly, "Dashuai, what do you mean?" ”
Li Qing was silent, if Shang Haibo could see through this situation, he should have asked Lu Dalin to gather his troops, go straight to the grassland, suppress Bayar, and prevent him from increasing troops to this side, but if he didn't increase troops to this side, how could he get out of trouble? Relying on Wang Qinian's Qi Nian division alone, he will definitely not be able to break through the defense line that Huhe is waiting for, this time he was careless and underestimated the enemy, he really underestimated the heroes of the world, and let himself fall to the point where he could not advance or retreat, looking at the dense barbarian camp under the mountain, Li Qing really had a feeling of despair.
The shouting of killing under the mountain started again, Lu Dabing rubbed his somewhat sour arms, and walked towards the defense line, this time it was Jiang Kui's turn to counterattack, and he had to take over Jiang Kui's command of the defense line. The bored Li Qing also stood up and walked forward, and several guards hurriedly followed and hugged him in the middle.
Li Qing lifted a first-grade bow, stretched out his hand to remove a guard in front of him, pulled the bow and put the arrow on it, aimed at a barbarian in front of him, and shot an arrow with a whoosh, wanting to kill a barbarian to vent his anger, but Li Qing's archery was really not flattering, but this arrow was a little higher, and the barbarian's fur hat flew far away, but the person was not injured at all, "Phew!" Li Qing spat fiercely, he was really unlucky, he stuffed his teeth when he drank cold water, this was less than fifty steps away, and he actually missed, this arrow method is too stinky.
Seeing that the handsome man made a fool of himself, several guards opened their bows and arrows at the same time, aiming at the barbarian who had just escaped and was scared out of a cold sweat, and before he came back to his senses, several sharp arrows whistled in, and Li Qing's guards used armor-piercing arrows, piercing the barbarian and falling to the ground.
Li Qingyi was so excited that he walked back again, holding his knife and watching the barbarians roar and attack.
One day passed in the repulsion of several attacks of the barbarians, and on the mountain, there were few arrows left in the hands of the Dingzhou soldiers, and tomorrow, I am afraid that there will be a tragic white-edged battle.
"General, today we have lost hundreds of brothers in one day, and some of the wounded may not be able to survive." Jiang Kui walked up to Li Qing and said in a low voice. "The medical officer with the battalion has been told of the medicine, and now he can only watch the wounded and have nothing to do."
"Let's go, take me to see the wounded, tomorrow, tomorrow the battle will probably be more intense." Li Qing took a deep breath. "There will be more soldiers dead and wounded."
In the middle of the night, a black cavalry ghostly rushed towards Baishan Mountain, and this unit was the special brigade secretly established by Li Qing in Dingzhou.
A considerable part of the special brigade is not from the Dingzhou army, but some martial arts experts recruited by Qingfeng from the rivers and lakes when it was formed, and then selected a group of particularly outstanding soldiers from the army to form such a thousand troops, from the beginning of the team, Qingfeng used the power in his hands to equip this army with the best armor and the sharpest weapons. Later, after Li Qing took over the command of the special brigade from Qingfeng, after seeing the terrifying power of this team, he spared no effort to support the needs of this team.
The armor of the special brigade is the whole Dingzhou only officers are equipped with all stainless steel plate armor, the protective surname can be much stronger than the iron armor, more importantly, it is much lighter than the iron armor, which also makes this army even the horses are also clothed with armor, Li Qing wants to engage in the idea of the iron horse finally realized to a certain extent, this army is a simple version of the iron horse, although there is not such a strong impact, but the soldiers' mobile and flexible surnames are greatly enhanced, which is much better than the iron horse.
The sabers of the special brigade are all made of stainless steel, that is, the kind of steel used by Li Qing himself, and each knight is also equipped with a bayonet gun, a crossbow, and a hand crossbow that shoots five shots in a row has not yet been fixed in the Dingzhou army, but the special brigade has been used for a long time. The bayonet gun is not an ordinary stabbing and shattering, but an all-iron product specially tailored for these team members, and only these thousands of selected soldiers can withstand the huge shock force of the sprint on the horse, and the long-term and rigorous training has also made them know more about how to avoid this danger.
It is precisely these that give Shang Haibo a little confidence to let this army sneak into the battlefield and snatch the commander out, as for the others, Shang Haibo basically has no hope, he can only do his best and obey the fate of heaven.
The captain of the special brigade is a martial arts expert recruited by Qingfeng from the rivers and lakes, named Wang Yan. The weapon he is good at is actually a rare meteor hammer, the power is infinite, after polishing in the army for a long time, the original habits of the rivers and lakes have disappeared, replaced by a rigorous military style, after Li Qing took over, he wanted to take him down to reduce Qingfeng's influence in the special brigade, but after observing for a period of time, I found that this person really has the potential to become an excellent officer, and because of his personal martial arts, he has accumulated a lot of prestige in the special brigade, so this matter will be stopped, It's just that he has been equipped with a deputy from the personal guard battalion to restrain him.
At this time, Wang Yan led his special brigade with grass, horses, and even the horses' hooves were thickly wrapped in a layer of soft cloth, and they quietly sneaked on the grassland. The intelligence officers of the Department of Statistical Surveys had provided Bayar's Intelligence Department to him in advance.
At this time, Wang Yan was frowning and looking at Bayar's defense map, "It seems that the only way to forcibly rush to Baishan Mountain is to surround Baishan Mountain." Wang Yan said angrily, "This is the defensive area of the Red Division, and the combat strength of the Red Department is not as good as the Wolf Running Army, so we will break through the mountain from here." ”
"General Wang, it's easy for us to rush up the mountain, but how to go down the mountain, I believe that once we break through the defense of Wolf Run, Huhe will definitely prevent us from breaking through again!" His deputy, Li Shengzhi from the Guards Battalion, asked.
Wang Yan fell on his head, "I don't know, after going up the mountain, it will be commanded by the marshal, what the marshal says, we will do!" ”
"Ready to go! Give the brutes a hard blow and tear through their defenses! Wang Yan shook the meteor hammer in his hand.
