Turbulent Times Chapter 1623: The big melee in the night

In the middle of Hanzhong County, on the south side of a mountain range, Cheng Yaojin led 20,000 cavalry from the Wagang Battalion to dismount and fight on foot for more than five hours. There are more than a thousand people, but more than 40,000 people have killed the enemy.

Li Shimin asked Duan Zhixuan to bring 50,000 people, there are still 30,000 people left, and Zhu Can's 60,000 people are less than 40,000.

With such a disastrous ratio of casualties, whether it is Li Shimin, Duan Zhixuan, or Zhu Can, they all bleed in their hearts. This is more than killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred!

Their men and horses were not brought by strong winds, they were all elite soldiers who had spent countless money, food and grass, undergone years of meticulous training, and were eliminated from battles on the battlefield again and again.

Although the strength of the Wagang Battalion has been reduced and their physical strength has been continuously depleted, especially since the gunpowder packs, grenades, and repeating crossbow bolts have been exhausted, such a disparity in the ratio of casualties between the two sides cannot continue to be maintained, and it will definitely continue to shrink, or even remain the same. Even under normal circumstances, when the strength of the Wagang Battalion is reduced to a certain level, morale will inevitably drop, and the morale of the army will be shaken, and then it will collapse directly.

However, even if these things happen, the casualties of Li Shimin and Zhu Can will be great.

However, both Li Shimin and Zhu Can now know that even if the battle has reached this level, even if the losses are heavy, they must persevere.

Moreover, for Li Shimin, it was Zhu Can who was madly attacking the Wagang camp at this time, and he was actually very happy to watch Zhu Can's men and horses consume together with the Wagang camp.

It's just that Zhu Can is not an idiot. After another wave of attacks, Zhu Can suddenly ordered his troops to retreat, indicating that it was time for the Li family army to go up.

Duan Zhixuan, who commanded the Li family's army, snorted coldly, knowing that it is indeed time to go up by himself now, if you don't go up, try, Zhu Can, the ogre king, evacuated with his troops in minutes.

And to be honest, compared to Zhu Can, Li Shimin and Duan Zhixuan want to kill this Far East Army more, because it's too **** difficult. Although the loss is a bit greater, if the 20,000 Far East Army can be killed, and if the 10,000 Wagang Battalion infantry in Qushi City are successfully killed, half of the Wagang Battalion will be gone. The smooth implementation of Li Shimin's next strategic plan in Sichuan and Shu is very important.

Moreover, Li Shimin is very confident that he will pull another force from Sichuan and Sichuan to replenish his troops. He believes that as long as he is given enough time, he will soon make up for this loss.

So, Duan Zhixuan issued an order, and the more than 10,000 infantry under his command formed a dense battle formation again, pushing towards the battle formation of the Wagang Camp.

At the center of the Wagang Camp battle formation, Cheng Yaojin looked solemn, with murderous intent and hatred on his face. The calmness on his face was gone. Looking at the sun in the west, he thought to himself why the **** the sun didn't go down the mountain, and secretly scolded Xu Shiji why the **** hadn't appeared yet.

It is no better than Li Jiajun and Zhu Can's troops who can take turns to rest. The Wagang Camp has been fighting and fighting, and their physical strength is too great. Even the Iron Man can't handle it! What's more, I haven't eaten or drank water all day.

The main thing is that they have run out of grenades and dynamite packs, and not even a lot of fast crossbow bolts left.

Now what they can rely on besides the exquisiteness and power of the battle formation itself is a suit of excellent steel plate armor and spearheads made of fine steel.

Of course, the perseverance forged in the Snake Island training mode in the past six months is also very important. Without this steel-like will and tenacity, the army's morale would have collapsed in the face of this situation. No matter how strong the steel armor defense is, No matter how sharp the tip of the steel gun is, it is useless.

The infantry of the Li family army entered the field again, and the fight was even more brutal than before. As time went by, the ratio of casualties on both sides continued to shrink.

At a certain moment, the sun set in the west, the sky and the earth gradually darkened, and night covered the earth.

Under the night, a fine cavalry of more than 2,000 people approached silently from the valley behind Zhu Jiajun who was resting like a ghost at night.

If someone looked carefully, they would find that the hooves of the two thousand fine riders were wrapped with some kind of special cotton pads, which could greatly reduce the sound of the horses marching.

On the other side, under the cover of the night, five hundred figures kept sneaking into the woods behind the hillside where the resting personnel of the Li family army were, their figures flickered, and they leaped two or three feet away, but no sound came out. It shows that these five hundred people are real masters.

At a certain moment, a firework shot straight into the sky from the south, followed by a harsh sound of piercing through the sky.

The officers and men of Zhu Jiajun and Li Jiajun were stunned for a moment, but their expressions changed immediately.

Hundreds of fist-sized objects suddenly shot out from the dense forest behind them, evenly spreading and falling on the cavalry of the Li family army who were resting.

At the same time, hundreds of grenades were also thrown from the valley behind Zhu Jiajun who was resting on the other side.

"Boom, boom, boom..." A series of explosions came from the resting team of Li Jiajun and Zhu Jiajun, followed by screams.

Almost at the same time as the screams sounded, more than two thousand elite cavalry rushed out of the valley behind Zhu's army, and directly rushed into the mourning Zhu's army.

That's right, these two thousand people are the more than two thousand horse thieves from the Death Valley led by the Snake Island dead man Mad Bird outside the Devil Pass. Excellent cavalry, and the whole body is equipped with excellent and advanced weapons of the Far Eastern Army.

On the other side, 500 experts of the Special Forces rushed out of the forest directly in a special battle formation, and rushed into the messy Li Family Army.

If there are only these two groups and there are only 3,000 people in total, although the enemy is in chaos with a sudden grenade attack in the dark, and then the surprise attack can kill a large number of enemy troops at the beginning, but because of the strength of the troops There is too much difference in the number of people, wait for Li Jiajun

After reacting with Zhu Jiajun, they will soon surround them. Of course, if they kill a wave and run away immediately, the possibility of success is very high.

But looking at it like this, neither the two thousand horse thieves led by Mad Bird nor the five hundred special forces masters thought of killing a wave and retreating immediately.

Of course they are not for death, nor are they dead soldiers.

Because, while they were still firing grenades, the sound of galloping horses came from the south.

Xu Shiji led 10,000 cavalry, divided into five groups, each with 2,000 horsemen, suddenly rushed out from five directions to the south, and charged directly at the more than 10,000 infantry soldiers of the Li family army who were besieging Cheng Yaojin and the others.

Duan Zhixuan and Zhu Can, who were on the battlefield, had already turned extremely ugly, and they kept yelling loudly and gathering their personnel, but because of the sudden incident, the dark sky, and the fact that their troops had fought for a day, they appeared Out of fatigue state, so the effect is not good.

Whether it is Duan Zhixuan or Zhu Can, they are naturally not rookies leading the army for the first time. How could they not send spies and sentries around? All were dispatched, and they cooperated with the Special Forces and the Military Intelligence Office to kill all the sentries and spies sent by Zhu Can and Duan Zhixuan, so that they did not have time to send back information.

Moreover, Xu Shiji's timing was just right, because if they suddenly appeared during the day, first of all, they would be easily spotted, and secondly, the enemy would react quickly.

But it's different at night. Not only can they cover up their figures, it is convenient for sneak attacks, and it can also prolong the enemy's reaction time.

Of course, such a thing would be difficult to succeed without the cooperation of a large number of grenades, because it is difficult to cause huge chaos to the enemy in an instant.

Besides, they came out suddenly from three directions at night. Because of the limited field of vision, the soldiers of Zhu Jiajun and Li Jiajun couldn't see how many people from the Far East Army were coming. In addition, the noise of the explosion was not small, so they would instinctively magnify the incoming attack. The strength of the Far Eastern Army will even be infinitely enlarged, which will shake the morale of the army and cause some timid soldiers to flee.

On the battlefield, as long as there is a soldier fleeing, it is like a gap in the embankment of the river. If the general cannot kill the fleeing soldier immediately and block the gap, the river will immediately burst and flee The trend will expand in a very short period of time.

The first to be defeated was Zhu Can's men. Their morale was already low. When they entered the camp where they were bombed, someone howled loudly: "We are surrounded by the Far East Army, run away!"

"If you don't escape, you will die."

"We fell for the trick. The Far East Army we fought for a day is the bait."

If these shouts were heard before, no one would believe them, but at this time they are easy to believe. Even if there is doubt, the effect has actually been achieved at this time.

Because, people would rather believe in things that are related to life and death than believe in nothing.

So, in a very short period of time, the Zhu family's army unexpectedly began to have a large number of people fleeing in all directions. This tendency of fleeing and howling loudly would soon affect the Li family's army on the other side, and the army's morale was suddenly shaken.

However, the more than 10,000 Li family troops who besieged Cheng Yaojin and them began to be defeated immediately, because they were not only pierced directly by the five Wagang camp cavalry, but also turned into enemies on both sides, led by Cheng Yaojin The morale of the 10,000 horsemen was like a rainbow without his orders, and the attack intensity increased instantly.

When the other two waves of troops began to rout, even though the 10,000 cavalry led by Zhu Zhixuan had the power to encircle and kill the 500 special forces experts, their minds were already confused, and the five hundred special forces experts formed strange formations from time to time. The battle formation formed a whole, and sometimes formed a group of ten people into a small formation of fifty people.

……

……

It's night, and there are movements of wild beasts in the rolling mountains.

Crossing the woods and mountains, the winding stream between the darkness, the most primitive fighting caused by human beings is taking place in a mountain forest, and clusters of torches gather or disperse, spreading crazily towards the front.

The sound of shouting and killing tore through the night sky.

"Kill"

Waving the roaring torch in his hand, Duan Zhixuan is not an ordinary person. When he shouted loudly at the critical moment and decisively increased the reward to a hundred taels of silver per head, the Li family's army, which was also in chaos at the edge of the forest, finally Some morale and fanatical courage were mobilized. Under the leadership of some generals, they roared loudly to strengthen their courage. Some of them went to siege and kill the 500 special forces experts, and some of them rushed towards this side. The cavalry brought by Xu Shiji was in an attempt to regroup the infantry of the Li family army who had begun to flee.

When crossing the abrupt boulder in front, a soldier of the Li family army rushed too fast and had no time to dodge. , one of his companions stepped on his back and killed the enemy in front of him. While the flames roared, the Li Family Army soldier on the ground saw the head and arms of his companions flying back, feeling at a loss.

Screams, shouts, and the sound of sword clashes, in the melee of tens of thousands of people at the front, was as intense as boiled thick porridge. Crowd rushing with torches. There were the soldiers of the Li family's army rushing forward in a mess, and naturally there were fifty special operations teams who were killing in an orderly manner through the hillsides and forests, like a constantly changing and retreating curve.

At this moment, it is naturally difficult for the fifty special warfare teams to completely block the round-robin attack of tens of thousands of soldiers from the Li family army. The more than 2,000 elite cavalry led by them just need to buy time.

Besides, at this time, among the 500 masters of the Special Forces team, there are ten masters who have broken their achievements.

The speed of killing is very fast.

Among them, a thin middle-aged man with two wind-throwing scimitars in both hands was the worst. After killing nearly a hundred people, he attracted a master of the Li family army and a group of his own soldiers. , and blocked it abruptly.

The origin of this thin young man has always been a mystery. Even the Military Intelligence Department of the Far Eastern Army has not found out yet, but after training in the Snake Island Concentration Camp, there is no problem with his loyalty to Wang Junlin.

His strength is naturally not as strong as Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba, but he is definitely the fastest kill in this kind of melee, or he is most suitable for melee fighting on the battlefield. Amidst the ferocity and treachery of his saber techniques, he swung the saber very fast. And there is also an air of calmness in it. Those who pounce on them are often cut off and decapitated before they can react.

The second only to this thin middle-aged man in killing speed is a tall, short, black-faced man with short hair and a frightening look in his eyes a little above the mountainside.

He is a master of rivers and lakes, but no one knows where he is, and no one knows where he comes from, because he is a mute, and this man was picked up by Nie Xiaoyu.

When Nie Xiaoyu subdued Li Jing, he chased and fled a lot of places. Once he saw this mute on the road for the first time, without any reason, he took him to Snake Island and taught him personally. a week.

A lot of people in the Far Eastern Army are very curious about this matter, because the mysterious owner of Snake Island, the legendary sea monster, rarely teaches others himself.

After Wang Junlin heard about it, he couldn't help asking Nie Xiaoyu once, and Nie Xiaoyu said: "This man is definitely a good killer, and he can be trained to be a killing machine."

Wang Junlin doesn't know how Nie Xiaoyu saw this, but in the current battle, this dumb man has proved Nie Xiaoyu's vision with facts, and the killing speed at this time is only slower than that of a thin middle-aged man Little by little, the latter had already killed one hundred and thirty two people during the half stick of incense, while the mute had killed one hundred and twenty-eight people.

At first glance, his saber technique looks like the well-known Five Tigers Broken Soul Knife in Jianghu, but upon closer inspection, he finds that it is different, because after being trained by Nie Xiaoyu, his saber technique becomes simpler, In other words, the trajectory used by each knife is the fastest and the shortest.

The strength of each knife is the most economical, and even in most cases, while dealing with ordinary Li Jiajun soldiers with a fatal knife, no extra power will be wasted. Only when facing masters of the same level, can he not guarantee that he can do this with every knife.

In this way, relying on his seemingly unrefined sword skills, as well as his brute force and inhuman calmness, he killed the enemies who rushed in front of him one by one. In the end, almost all the soldiers of the Li family army consciously avoided him, and then they were easily blocked by him and killed easily. It wasn't until a general of the Li family army led a group of stronger personal soldiers that they entangled him.

Mute and thin middle-aged men are good at killing, but they are not the most suitable for fighting on the battlefield.

In fact, the most suitable person to fight on the battlefield is a big man with an iron spear. This big man was originally a lone thief who was good at black and white. Because of the indiscriminate killing of innocent people, he was captured on Snake Island by masters sent by the martial arts guild. After the cruel training personally arranged by Nie Xiaoyu, he has successfully transformed from the role of a lone thief into a killer and a dead soldier. But the marksmanship he learned from a foreigner is the most suitable for use on the battlefield.

At this time, when more enemies rushed up from here, a queue of sixteen or seventeen people roared in front of him. With a stab and a retraction of the iron spear array, the bodies of the two soldiers of the Li family army in front were smashed. Pierce through, and then the second round of simultaneous stabs, the soldiers of the Li family army rushed forward.

One of the generals of the Li family army, who is good at martial arts, is holding a shield. He jumped up fiercely and bumped into his gun, the big man shook his hand casually, pushed the shield with the iron gun in his hand, then let out a loud breath, stepped forward, and directly hit him with his own figure, fiercely sticking to the shield. Mountains!

In the chaotic battle formation. Not many people would run to appreciate the magnificence of the moves. Only the torn apart shield flew out. This general of the Li family army was one of the few brave officers in the Li family army. At this time, he spit out blood and flew into the air. At the same time, there were many soldiers of the Li family army who were knocked over, and they fell to the ground at the same time. The bloodthirsty gun array of the big man has stabbed towards him frantically.

………

………

The burly man who used the stick to the mountain glanced at the thin middle-aged man not far away. His chest rose and fell violently, like a bellows. Although he did not kill the most people, he guarded the largest area. Therefore, his style of play consumes more energy and internal strength. At this time, he calmed down the turbulent blood in his body, and at the same time looked around, scanning other places that needed help.

In martial arts competitions, the emphasis is on being invincible, and the principle of murder and assassination is to kill with one blow as much as possible. But this kind of large-scale fight is different, one move is used, and it will be fought to the end. Once it works, the rest will be handed over to the brothers around him.

At the other end of the field of vision, the Li family army holding torches, some three, three, five, five, ten or twenty, are still rushing towards this side. People fight in the mountains, in the grass, and in the streams.

As the sky completely fell into darkness, after Duan Zhixuan sent nearly ten thousand cavalry to temporarily block Xu Shiji's side, the remaining thousands of people continued to besiege and kill the five hundred special forces experts, and the intensity continued to rise.

Although the special forces are all masters, they don't even have any pressure against two or three thousand people. Easy.

At this time, the mouth of the valley, the field, and the edge of the hillside forest seemed to be three battlefields, but they had already begun to mix together, and the battlefield where tens of thousands of people were fighting was already quite chaotic. But as long as you watch it for a long time. Something will become clear.
