Chapter 960: Breakthrough
Wang Xian said and glanced at Hu Sandao and Liu Qianhu and said: "After the battle started, the two of you led two thousand soldiers and horses to lurk in the mountains and forests on the south side, and after receiving the signal, immediately attack from the south of the mountain, and be sure to occupy the top of the mountain in the shortest time!" As he spoke, he pointed to the top of the mountain on the map and said, "Once the top of the mountain is occupied, this seat will attack the enemy on the mountain with you and defeat them in one fell swoop!" ”
"Whoa!" The generals were commanded.
"Everyone, this battle must be won quickly, we have no time to waste!" Wang Xian looked at everyone with resolute eyes, and said in a deep voice: "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and we must overwhelm the enemy from the momentum!" Crush them! The generals couldn't help nodding, Wang Xian was right, the enemy army was not a well-trained army after all, and the battle was all based on blood and bravery. If they lose to them in momentum, they will burst out with powerful combat power, and if they are overwhelmed in momentum, they will be vulnerable!
The battle begins at lunchtime for the enemy army! Although it is a feint, it does not hurt and frighten the enemy, and it will not play the role of attracting attention and mobilizing the enemy army at all! Therefore, from the very beginning, under the urging of Wang Xian, the officers and troops were divided into three ways and launched a fierce attack on the junction of the White Lotus Army's defense line!
Seeing this, the White Lotus Sect troops on the mountain threw down their dishes and chopsticks one after another, ran to their respective positions, picked up the prepared stones and threw them down! Countless large boulders rolled down the hillside, and some officers and soldiers could not dodge, screaming and being knocked to the ground, breaking tendons and bones, and brainstorming at worst!
The officers and soldiers also took advantage of the terrain to shoot bows and arrows at the White Lotus Sect troops on the mountain, and also used guns to shoot! The followers of the White Lotus Sect did not have much military training, and they were desperately throwing stones, leaving their bodies exposed, and as a result, they were shot one after another, killing and wounding...... At this time, the disciples were so frightened that they lay on the ground and did not dare to get up, so naturally the stone was not lost.
Seeing this, the officers and soldiers hurriedly took the opportunity to advance, and when they rushed halfway up the mountain, those White Lotus Sect disciples woke up like a dream, and quickly got up and threw stones down again. The officers and soldiers have already rushed so close, there is nowhere to hide, and they can only grit their teeth and risk death and injury to rush up!
At the foot of the mountain, Wang Xian looked at the battle situation and said with a gloomy face: "If you invest another thousand people, you must break through the first line of defense!" ”
"Yes!" Zhou Yong responded in a deep voice and gave the order.
After a while, a thousand households surnamed Zhao personally led the team into the battlefield! As soon as this vital force joined, the momentum of the official army soared, and after paying a heavy price, the official army finally attacked the first line of defense of the White Lotus Army, and the White Lotus Army was busy handling swords and guns, fighting with the officers and soldiers on the position!
On the main battlefield on the entire eastern slope, screams and shouts of killing rang out!
The top of the mountain is where the main general of this White Lotus Army is! It was Liu Xin, the master of the Linqu Hall of the White Lotus Sect, who led these disciples to stop them, and he was going to die of depression! In his opinion, the troops in his hands are his own capital, and if he fights in Hulukou, his status in the sect will be lost in the future. That's why they chose to take on the so-called blocking mission in this place far from the battlefield.
Who knows, I thought it was just an idle trip, but I really waited for reinforcements from the official army! Looking at the officers and soldiers rushing up all over the mountains, Liu Xin's scalp exploded, so he had to make his subordinates resist desperately! But the offensive of the official army was wave after wave, and there was no decline at all, and finally the first line of defense that he had laid dozens of feet away from the top of the mountain was broken!
Seeing the official army and the White Lotus Army fighting together, Liu Xin felt that a great disaster was coming, as if those wolf-like officers and soldiers would be killed in front of him in the next moment!
"Quick, go for reinforcements!" Liu Jun shouted left and right.
"Good!" A master of incense took the order and shouted to the hundreds of brothers on the mountain, "Rush down with me!" ”
Hundreds of White Lotus Cultists rushed down from the top of the mountain with a howl and joined the battle group! But the official army has already gained a firm foothold, and these hundreds of disciples have joined, and they are only blocking it from the first line of defense! On the slope of the mountain, which is about 100 feet long, the two sides started a cruel tug-of-war! Countless White Lotus Sect disciples fell to the ground screaming, and countless officers and soldiers were killed and wounded on the ground!
"Reinforcements!" Wang Xian under the mountain gave another order and threw in the last thousand people!
Liu Jun stood on a high place, with an unobstructed view, watching the officers and soldiers increase all over the mountains and fields, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry! We're ramping up our troops, too! ”
But after he finished speaking, he regretted it again, because there were only more than 1,000 people left around him, and he said that if he sent it again, who would protect Lao Tzu?! And he has a total of 2,000 descendants, and the casualties are so miserable that the capital is gone! He stopped another incense master who was about to go down the mountain, and said in a deep voice: "Don't move, let those guys from the south come over for reinforcements!" ”
Although the White Lotus army in the south is also under his command, it is Changle Tang's men and horses, and it doesn't matter how many people die to him!
Liu Xin's order soon spread to the southern position, and the hall master of Changle Hall was relatively simple-minded, and when he saw the tragic battle on the frontal battlefield, he did not hesitate to lead a thousand men and horses over to reinforce him.
At this time, Wang Xian had no soldiers to send, but even if he had soldiers, it would be useless. Because the total number of troops on both sides in the entire frontal battlefield is as high as seven or eight thousand, it is close to saturation.
Beside him, Qian Dahai, the commander of these officers and soldiers, saw that his subordinates had suffered heavy casualties, and anxiously urged: "My lord, can you send a signal?!" ”
Wang Xian shook his head slowly and said in a deep voice: "Drumming!" ”
Several snare drums rumbled, urging people to forge ahead! When the officers and soldiers heard the sound of drums, the offensive became more fierce, although the terrain was at a disadvantage and the number was not superior, but the enemy troops killed were defeated and retreated!
Seeing that his side was a little unstable, Liu Xin was frightened at this time, and continued to shout: "Increase troops, continue to increase troops for me!" ”
Liu Xin's cronies also saw it, they had never seen such a huge, chaotic and cruel battle scene, and they had no way to judge the situation on the battlefield, and they didn't know that when the official army compressed the formation of the White Lotus Army to a certain extent, the resistance would increase greatly, and it would be difficult to advance an inch! And with today's saturated battlefield density, it is futile to increase troops......
Without thinking about it, Liu Xin's subordinates once again issued an order to Shannan to transfer troops. At this time, the hall master of Changle Hall was already on the frontal battlefield, and the person in charge of the southern position was a incense master, and he didn't dare to be self-conscious, so he transferred the only 1,000 people out of 600!
Wang Xian saw the emptiness of the southern position for the first time, so he waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Send a signal!" ”
That Qian Dahai had already become an ant on a hot pot, and when he heard this, he hurriedly ordered someone to shoot a firework into the sky! .
The fireworks bloomed on the top of the mountain, and Hu Sandao and others, who had long been impatient, immediately rushed out of the southern mountain forest and attacked the mountain as fast as possible!
On the southern hillside, the remaining four hundred White Lotus Sect disciples were shocked, and the incense master was stunned for a while! Seeing that the official army had rushed halfway up the mountain, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to resist, and then asked for help from the main peak!
The southern slope of the hill is much steeper than the front, and in many places you even need to use your hands and feet to climb up, if these four hundred White Lotus Sect disciples are like a rainbow and desperately use big stones to block them, it is very likely that they will be crushed by the two thousand officers and soldiers! However, the leaders of these White Lotus Sects were not there, and the main force was withdrawn twice, and the rest of the people were already extremely weak-hearted, seeing the officers and troops rushing up all over the mountains, these disciples only knew that they were afraid, and completely forgot to resist!
Just a few symbolic stones, and the disciples began to retreat! I don't know who led the first, but soon everyone ran to the main peak, and it seemed that that there was a safe place!
Seeing this, the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted, and Hu Sandao laughed and said: "Sons, chase after you with your ass!" He jumped up from the hillside, and chased after the fleeing White Lotus Army!
In fact, Liu Xin saw the official army rushing out of the mountains and forests in the south for the first time, attacking the empty Shannan! Even if he is a fool, he knows that he has been tricked, so he hurriedly gave the order hoarsely to let the army that had just been transferred back!
However, before he had time to make adjustments, the position in the south had been lost, looking at the hundreds of routs desperately fleeing to his side, followed by the officers and troops who were pressed by the black, Liu Xin couldn't help but have black eyes, and he lost the courage to continue to fight with the officers and soldiers!
But he didn't dare to quit easily, because he had made a military order! Thinking of the murderous words before leaving, Tang Tiande's murderous words, 'I can't hold the line of defense, come and see you!' Liu Xin was frightened. He knew that the father and daughter surnamed Tang could do what they said, and if they just fled back like this, their heads would definitely be separated!
"Hold on! Resist me! Liu Xin was in a dilemma, so he could only let his subordinates stabilize their positions first.
However, the White Lotus Army, which had just rushed over, was scattered by the rout soldiers who had escaped, and Hu Sandao and others followed closely with their blades held high, just chopping melons and vegetables!
The White Lotus Army couldn't hold their position, so they had to turn around and run, but they would not run to the top of the mountain anymore, but fled directly from the back mountain......
Seeing that the official army had rushed towards the top of the mountain, Liu Xin was completely dumbfounded, and the incense master on the side hurriedly persuaded: "Boss, let's run quickly, otherwise we will let the family make dumplings!" ”
Liu Xin looked at the officers and troops who were getting closer and closer, and then looked at the two armies that were still fighting fiercely in the east, completely threw the bullshit military order behind, and stomped his feet: "Run!" After speaking, under the protection of a group of cronies, he fled to the back mountain!
This guy is also quite righteous, and before going down the mountain, he didn't forget to let people shout to the brothers who were fighting in front of him: "The wind is tight, pull it!" "But to be honest, it's very unwise to shout this voice at this time, everyone runs away, who will block the enemy for you and buy time to escape?
Sure enough, hearing this, the White Lotus Army, which was still fighting with the officials and soldiers with a bloody and brave spirit, turned around and fled for their lives! Many people fled quickly, and in a short time, they surpassed Liu Xin and the others, who were one step ahead! Looking at the officers and soldiers who were getting closer and closer behind him, the frightened Hall Master Liu finally understood that sometimes good people can't do it!
Fortunately, the official army took advantage of the situation to cover up for a while, and Wang Xian was worried that he would be ambushed, so he soon withdrew his troops!
