Chapter 395: Life hangs by a thread

Leizhou, Tanmu County. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

was originally an inconspicuous small city, but it became the focus of the entire Leizhou battlefield.

It seems that overnight, the small town that was still prosperous quickly withered, dilapidated, and became lifeless because of the war. The most prosperous commercial street is almost in ruins.

The neat bluestone pavement, the smashed potholes, and the pools of blood gathered. The gutters on both sides are piled with corpses, which are simply covered and no one is buried.

The shops with carved railings and paintings were charred by the fire, and the walls were broken and ruined, and wisps of green smoke were still emitting.

Everything tells the cruelty of war.

Under the orange sunset, Cao Di stood above the city, his brows furrowed.

For a day and a night, the siege lasted for a whole day and a night.

The Shanhai City South Route Army, which was trapped on the street, still stuck to its position, as solid as a rock.

Cao Di tried various tactics, such as fire attacks, cover-ups, surprise attacks, night attacks, and water cuts. It is useless, the enemy army hiding behind the improvised fortifications is like the undead, and the tenacity is amazing.

Let you sword and fire, I will not move.

The northern part of Leizhou formed an alliance, and the crisis in the north was suspended, but at the same time, it also meant that his lord was a demon and could not attract enough allies.

The north and south of Leizhou are equivalent to being divided and fighting separately.

In the face of survival, no one can be noble.

The Fireworks Demon begged the Northern Alliance to reinforce Tanmu County first, concentrate his forces, and break the army all the way. The reply was: Then simply send the southern allies to Qiantang County.

The fireworks demon was speechless.

Not everyone has such a mind and strategic vision as him. Before they have completely reached a dead end, most people will only focus on the immediate interests and dare not make a desperate bet.

In a whole day, only two territories joined the Alliance of Central and South Africa, and 10,000 troops were transferred.

The fireworks demon asked someone to bring a message, there will be no more reinforcements, let's fight!

Cao Di did not dare to wait any longer, and launched attacks on the enemy army again and again. He knew that the cavalry troops of Shanhai City were rushing to Tanmu County day and night.

The tenacity of the Southern Route Army exceeded Cao Di's expectations.

Cao Di couldn't imagine how a female general would tame a group of hot-blooded men so strong. The scales of war have begun to tilt in favor of the Allies.

"Someone!"

"In!"

"Order: Withdraw troops. The army repaired overnight, recuperated, and launched a general attack tomorrow. ”

Cao Di is like a gambler who has lost red-eyed, and decides to make a desperate bet.

"No!"

With the rapid sound of "clanging bells", the allies retreated like a tide.

"Whew!"

Fan Lihua breathed a sigh of relief.

"General, looking at the enemy's position, there shouldn't be another night attack tonight." It was Liao Kai, the commander of the Second Brigade of the First Division, a veteran of Shanhai City.

Fan Lihua nodded and said, "Even so, don't take it lightly. ”

"Understood!"

"Call Zhao Yan, it's time for him to play!"

"General?"

Liao Kai was shocked, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"General Luo has sent a letter, and reinforcements will arrive before noon tomorrow."

The Military Intelligence Department made use of the communication network set up by Hummingbird to make miraculous achievements and send key information early.

"Great!"

Liao Kai was excited, the hard days of the First Division were coming to an end.

"Go ahead!"

Fan Lihua waved her hand.

"No!"

Zhao Yan is also a veteran of Shanhai City, serving as the brigade commander of the First Brigade of the First Division. His subordinates, all of whom are sword and shield soldiers, are also the absolute main force on the battlefield during the day.

The 1st Division of the Huben Regiment has been able to hold on to the present, and the officers and men of the 1st Brigade have made great contributions.

Compared with Liao Kai's cleverness, Zhao Yan is a pure fierce general.

When he rushed over, the armor and helmet were full of bloodstains, and even the Tang knife in his hand was still dripping blood.

I don't know, I thought it was a demon crawling out of hell.

The soldiers around him did not have a trace of fear, but cast eyes of awe and adoration.

Ordinary soldiers, the most admired is such a fierce general.

"General!"

Zhao Yan grinned and saluted.

Fan Lihua nodded, unmoved by Zhao Yan's dress. Although she is a woman, she does not let her eyebrows be shaved, and she has also waded through the sea of swords and fires.

This posture can't shake Fan Lihua's mind at all.

I have to say that this concentration alone is enough to suppress the men of the First Division. Even Zhao Yan, in front of Fan Lihua, did not dare to be presumptuous.

"Go down and trim it, select five hundred elites, and act according to the plan at night, there must be no mistakes."

Zhao Yan's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Understand, I promise to complete the task!" ”

"Remember, your trip is related to the success or failure of the entire battle, and there must be no mistakes in the slightest."

Fan Lihua solemnly instructed again.

"General rest assured, if there is the slightest mistake, Zhao Yan will come to see him."

Fan Lihua nodded, waved her hand and said, "Go down and prepare!" ”

"No!"

Zhao Yan saluted again and strutted away.

That night, under the cover of night, Zhao Yan led the most elite five hundred sons of the First Brigade to slip out of the back door of the shop that had been quietly opened a long time ago, and disappeared into the night.

The Allies, because they were ordered to make repairs, were unaware of all this.

**********

June 5th, early in the morning.

The battle of Leizhou ushered in the most critical day.

Early in the morning, the Allies regrouped.

The 50,000-strong army, pressed on the whole front, launched a continuous attack on the enemy's position.

The commander of the Allied forces, General Cao Di, gave a death order before the battle: this attack must only succeed and not fail.

All the soldiers, either die on the battlefield or step on the corpses of the enemy, there is no third option. Those who dare to retreat will not be forgiven.

For this reason, Cao Di deliberately formed a team of supervisors to follow behind the army. Anyone who dares to retreat, regardless of the reason, regardless of military rank, will be directly killed.

The bloody military order made the hearts of the Allied soldiers tremble.

This time it's really going to be broken, and if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The shouts of killing one after another, gathered together, and Tanmu County was shocked. The earth-shattering murderous aura, like a red cloud, shrouded the sky over Tanmu County and did not disperse for a long time.

Out of sight, Luo Shixin was leading the second division of the Longxiang Army on the way.

Suddenly, out of the intuition of the general, Luo Shixin raised his head and looked in the direction of Tanmu County in disbelief, and his heart throbbed. He faintly felt that an awe-inspiring murderous aura was enveloping the city.

This is never a good thing!

Luo Shixin patted the war horse and said loudly: "The whole army has it, speed up!" ”

"No!"

**********

Cao Di walked up to the castle tower again. This time, he did not go to the command seat, but came to the war drums, took off the drumsticks, and personally set up the war drums to cheer for the officers and men of the whole army.

The rumbling sound of war drums echoed through the city, stirring up bursts of echoes.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

To the beat of the drums, 50,000 Allied troops attacked from both ends of the street at the same time. On the rooftops on both sides, dense archers emerged at the same time, aiming at the positions of the Southern Route Army.

The battle of life and death has officially begun!

The position of the Southern Route Army.

Fan Lihua is still so heroic and sassy, and her upright posture is the greatest comfort for the soldiers.

"General, they're attacking!" Liao Kai walked over.

Fan Lihua's face was expressionless, this brigade commander always likes to say something meaningless. She didn't look back, and said lightly: "Zhao Yan's side, is everything ready?" ”

"At three o'clock in the morning, the hummingbird sent back the news, and it was all right!"

"Okay." Fan Lihua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Tell the soldiers below to stick to it until noon." ”

"No!"

For the 1st Division of the Tiger Legion, this was the most difficult battle.

Because the lone army was deep, the supplies of the 1st Division did not keep up. The soldiers had nothing to eat, so they could only boil the rice they found temporarily into a pot of porridge.

Even the water used to boil the porridge was dirty water scooped up from the drain.

The soldiers had no medicines. Because there were so many wounded, the medicines brought by the military doctors had been exhausted. Now I can't even find a piece of clean gauze.

Even so, the sons and daughters of the 1st Division are still high-spirited.

Because their generals eat the same porridge and drink the same dirty water as them.

With such a general, the sons and daughters regard death as home.

Under the pressure of the Allies, the 1st Division was defeated one after another.

For this, the Allies also paid a heavy price, with hundreds of casualties for every step forward. It is unimaginable that in positional warfare, the ratio of casualties on both sides is close to 1 to 5.

Thinking of the enemy's fragile logistical supply, as an opponent, Cao Di had to be in awe.

This is a group of hot-blooded men worthy of awe, a real elite division.

Although there were heavy casualties, Cao Di's expression became more and more relaxed. The balance of war is once again tilted in favor of the allies, as long as the enemy army can be annihilated, no matter how big the price is, it will be worth it.

Cao Di raised the drums of war and continued to cheer for the whole army. The rumbling war drums are the biggest horns.

The further back they went, the battle became more and more tragic, and the two sides were short-handed and red-eyed.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, outside Tanmu County, there was a sudden rumbling sound of horses' hooves.

Cao Di at the head of the city trembled in his heart.

Not good, how could the enemy's reinforcements arrive so quickly? According to normal calculations, it will not be until at least five or six o'clock in the afternoon before reinforcements arrive?

Time is pressing, and Cao Di can't afford to think too much.

Fortunately, he is an experienced general.

Cao Di knows that when you predict what situation is the most unfavorable, it is often the most likely to happen. No matter how bad you predict the battle will be, it will be so bad.

Therefore, Cao Di arranged a garrison of more than 2,000 people near the city gate as early as possible.

With this army guarded, it is absolutely difficult for the reinforcements of pure cavalry troops to break through the city gate in a short time and enter the city to reinforce the Southern Route Army, which is already in a desperate situation.

As long as the Southern Route Army is captured before the reinforcements break through the city, the battle situation will still be under Cao Di's control.

Cao Di, have this confidence! (To be continued.) )
