Chapter 15: Siege

Forced to encircle in the narrow sea pond silt, the war horse did not have enough space to speed up, and could not break through the front barrier composed of heavy shields, flying contradictory vehicles, spears, and bamboo spears of the Jiangdong Left Army, and the Dongyu cavalry was forced to choose to dismount and fight, and even piled up the corpses of dead war horses to form a section of the encirclement that shielded the inner line, effectively restricting the Jiangdong Left Army soldiers from interspersing with the inner line.

Nayan sat on horseback, and Tile watched from the top of the sea pond with the reins, trying to find the gap in the enemy formation, but the more he looked, the more cold and desperate he became.

The Jiangdong Left Army formed a three-layer encirclement with armor soldiers, cavalry soldiers and village soldiers, and there was only a buffer of three or four hundred steps between each layer of encirclement.

In the past few days, there have been no less than ten battles and eight battles, and Na Yan is also quite familiar with the tactics of the Jiangdong Left Army.

This Jiangdong Left Army fundamentally abandoned the traditional dense formation, and even the encirclement formed on the inner line at this time was formed in units of 60 soldiers. With three or four flying vehicles as cover, in an array of armor, the weapon ration is also mixed, and the high shield, sword shield, Mo knife, spear, bamboo spear and bow and crossbow are all equipped.

At first glance, it looks very chaotic, making people think that the Jiangdong Left Army is a miscellaneous army that has been put together from all over the world, but only after engaging in the battle can we realize the power of this kind of formation method of long and short and complementing each other from far and near. Such an efficient and layered formation method is also the key to the ability of the 60 pawns to form a formation independently.

Even if this Jiangdong Left Army does not seem to be very proficient in this kind of array drill, but it has the combat courage and will of not weak veterans, even if they try their best to break through one or two armor formations, or rush out of the gaps between several armor formations, they will not be able to scatter the entire inner line encirclement.

At this time, the cavalry deployed by the second layer of the Jiangdong Left Army could be quickly mobilized and rushed to block the breach with superior forces, and even if a few people rushed out, they would be surrounded and killed by the outermost township soldiers.

In this case, even if it drags on, it will be a great test of the physical strength and will of your own soldiers, but only by holding on until dark can you find a chance to break through, but it is obvious that this Jiangdong Left Army does not want them to drag on until dark.

Although it is very difficult to defeat the experienced Eastern Cavalry by attacking the inner line under the sea pond, the Armored Soldiers who occupy the north and south ends of the seawall can use flying vehicles and other combat equipment to compress the Eastern Cavalry inward.

Na Yan looked at the veteran soldiers who had made great contributions to Donghu and were trapped in the silt, with no martial arts, but he couldn't show it, and he shot the Jiangdong Left Army and fell unwillingly, his heart was dripping blood, but there was nothing he could do, and the troops he could lead to the final breakthrough were getting fewer and fewer, and the impact that could be organized during the breakthrough was getting weaker and weaker......

**********

Surrounded by everyone, Lin Jian re-ascended to the seawall, staring at the entire battlefield condescendingly, with a grim expression.

Although the Jiangdong Left Army will have to pay a lot of casualties if it wants to annihilate all the captured troops here, it is difficult to say that an army that does not fight a hard battle can really grow.

Although there were many casualties every time they took a step, the morale of the generals was very high, and they occupied the right time and place, and the Cangnan villagers and even the villagers were encouraged by the situation in front of them, and they all asked to participate in the war on the inner line, vowing to annihilate all the eastern soldiers who owed them deep hatred and blood hatred.

In the entire Cangxian County, there are more than 10,000 young and strong people who have been taken away, and countless people have been killed, broken families, and countless people have died.

With such a sea of blood and deep hatred, in such a good situation, can Lin Lianyan spare his troops and give up the opportunity to completely annihilate the Eastern captives?

Lin Jian looked at the sky, turned his head sideways and asked Ao Canghai: "The soldiers of the first battalion have eaten and drunk enough and rested enough?" ”

"It's time to go into battle!" Ao Canghai untied the knife from his waist, pulled it out and tried it, so as not to freeze.

The first battalion itself is the most elite combat force of the Jiangdong Left Army, all of which are based on the Jianyong of Xisha Island, the elite of Changshan Island and the personal guards brought out by Lin Tie himself.

The soldiers of the Eastern Capture were besieged and pampered for almost a whole day, and the generals of the first battalion rested for a whole day after eating and drinking, and regained their combat strength. In order to launch a final siege against the Dongyu forces before the sky completely darkens, it is natural to transfer the elite of the first battalion to give the most powerful blow.

"My lord, please allow Shang Wang to fight with General Ao to kill the thieves!"

Lin Jian looked back, only to see Sun Shangwang coming up from behind, he cut off the front hem of the robe that was not conducive to running, I don't know where to get a broken leather armor to wear on his body, tied it with a straw rope, and inserted a two-foot-long short knife between his belt.

When Cangxian fell to Cangxian City, Sun Shangwang's wife and eldest son who had just come of age were taken away, his parents were useless because of old age, and his infant son was killed on the spot by the Dongyu people, and his younger brother's family of six people were also killed and plundered, only his twelve-year-old second son and his fourteen-year-old nephew hid in an empty pigsty for two days before escaping, and it was not far from the destruction of the family.

In the past few days since he returned to Cangnan, he ran for the Jiangdong Left Army with a deep hatred for the Dongyu, and contacted the township soldiers who were still sticking to the Cangnan Wuzhai Village.

"No," Lin Jian refused Sun Shangwang's request to go into battle to kill the enemy without hesitation, and reprimanded in a cold and ruthless tone, "Those who go into battle kill the enemy, aren't others contributing to killing the enemy?" How many thieves can you kill when you go into battle? If you stay and help me coordinate in the middle, so that the people who go into battle will suffer fewer casualties and kill more thieves, isn't it to avenge the blood hatred of your family? ”

Sun Shangwang is also very effective in strategizing, running and liaison, and communicating with Cangnan Township, after this battle, his reputation in Cangnan Township will also rise to the peak, how can Lin Jian let such a talent go into battle and sacrifice it casually?

Sun Shangwang's eyes were red, and he refused to give in, and said: "I have been running for adults for a few days, can't I get the opportunity to go into battle and kill the enemy?" ”

Ao Canghai glared at him and said, "You want me to help you kill a few more people, just say it!" No matter how verbose you are, they tie your hands and feet and go to the battlefield, but no one can take care of you. ”

Sun Fengyi patted Sun Shangwang's shoulder comfortingly, and said, "What the adults say is reasonable, don't be tough......"

Sun Shangwang exhaled painfully and remained silent. Lin Jian sighed softly, waved his hand and asked Ao Canghai to go down and lead the first battalion of generals to move forward to carry out the final strangulation of the Dongyu soldiers in the encirclement......

***********

When they broke out of the encirclement from the southwest at night, Na Yan and Na Tuzhen were covered in blood, and there were less than 200 cavalry behind them, and everyone else was annihilated, even if they were injured, it was impossible for the Cangnan villagers who had a deep hatred for them to live.

Na Tuzhen, a warrior who had personally commended Yeji Khan, was full of no less than twenty or thirty arrows, and he only fought with the last martial arts and still rode on horseback with a big sword in his hand to fight back and forth.

Na Yan wanted to cry out loud in his heart, the elite of the four hundred kings' tent who was regarded as the pride of Donghu was almost exhausted, such a serious injury, even if he broke out of the encirclement, and waited for it to be released in one breath, it would be impossible for Tuzhen to live again.

At this time, it could not be said that they had broken out of the encirclement, and the pursuers of the Jiangdong Left Army were chasing from all directions, and they were not afraid of the chaos that the night might bring, and vowed to annihilate them all.

With his memory, Na Yan knew that there was a frozen river not far ahead, and if he broke through the river, the horses under their crotch still had some strength left, and they might be able to break out of the encirclement.

Na Yan stabbed the horse with a knife, this is not the time to spare the horsepower, only to open the distance can be safer, there are thin clouds in the sky, but the reflection of the snow can also provide enough light, this is a good thing and a bad thing, regardless of whether there is a road, listen to the direction of the pursuers, and give more than 200 horsemen to flee to the southwest, until a long causeway black shadow comes out in front of him, Na Yan is in a better mood.

Na Yan didn't stop, and rode up the river embankment, and several riders jumped on the river ice before him, but the sound of the river ice breaking sounded like the last devastating sound in his ears, and he didn't have time to restrain his horse, and followed the momentum towards the river where the river ice cracked, and the cold and biting river water drowned half of his body in an instant.

Na Yan gave up struggling at this moment: the cunning Jiangdong Left Army, they tried their last strength to fight their way out of the encirclement from the southeast, waiting for them is still a deadly trap.

With Nayan and Natuzhen rushed out of the encirclement, more than 200 people rode in the chaos of the night, most of them could not restrain their horses and planted into the cold and biting river, the cold and biting river quickly drained their last physical strength, and most of them did not have the strength to climb out of the ice hole, even if they climbed out and waited for them, it was the fate of encirclement and annihilation......

******************

In offshore areas, the salinity of the river water in these areas is increased due to the low and shallow river water in winter, which makes it more difficult to freeze than fresh water. Lin Jian mobilized the villagers of Cangnan to chisel through this section of the river ice, although it was re-frozen in the severe cold after nightfall, but the ice layer that was frozen at the beginning was not enough to support the cavalry to pass, but most of the cavalry who froze to death in the river could not figure out the reason for this.

Ao Canghai led a team of soldiers to climb the river embankment, thinking about what Lin Jian said to them most often, no traps, to completely surround and kill more than two hundred thieves who refused to surrender and did not lose their fighting spirit, I don't know how many casualties will be added.

Ao Canghai guarded the river embankment, commanded the soldiers to surround and kill the last stubborn resistance and divided a few piles of remnants, and the cavalry took advantage of the light of the eyebrow moon and snow to kill those scattered enemy horsemen everywhere, killing the character, no one was willing to have a thief escape from under the nose of the eye.
