Horse on the World

Chapter 716 The Battle of Zunhua ([-])

From the moment the flower of life blooms, it will inevitably slowly walk on the road of withering. The difference is that during this process, some are extremely brilliant, leaving an indelible image on the world, and some are indelible. But quietly, at the end of life, silently fell into the dust, turned into spring mud, and began to reincarnate again.

The people of Quanzhou who are fighting for life and death with the elite troops of Minzhou in Zunhua are like these lives that will never leave a mark in history, using their own blood and life to delay the opponent's progress.Perhaps many of them regretted it at the end of their lives and wanted to choose another life path, but when they took the first step, their lives were no longer in their own hands.Maybe many years later, this war will be written in the history books, but it will always be the commanders of this war that will be remembered by future generations. For those who soaked this land with their own blood , maybe it's just the four words Quanzhou Yimin.

In the three-day bloody battle, under Xu Kexing's deliberate battle, more than half of the [-] young men who arrived in Quanzhou earlier were killed or injured, and more died than injured. These civilians who had never received any military training fought on the battlefield. The ability to protect is almost equal to nothing.The outer positions have been completely lost, and the remaining [-] people who crawled out of the blood and fire all retreated to Zunhua City. In three days, Xu Kexing successfully captured the enemy by killing the enemy and killing his own people. An army with splayed claws and bloodshot eyes.

After a few days of killing or witnessing people killing people, in the eyes and hearts of these kind-hearted people in Quanzhou, there is only human instinct left, to survive and kill their opponents.

Within a few days, Long Xiaotian added a lot of white hair to his head. Standing on the top of the city tower, looking at the people above and below the city, who were shrouded in hatred, his heart was extremely bitter. He knew that this battle was over. After that, regardless of victory or defeat, the whole state will be profoundly changed.

"General Xu, the two of us will be stigmatized forever." Long Xiaotian said in a low voice.

"For the millions of people in the whole state behind us, for the crops that are about to be harvested in the fields, and for the great cause of the lord, let the stigma be forever!" Xu Kexing seemed to be hard-hearted, "Didn't an ancient person once said that you can't go down in history, just let it be stigmatized forever , Hahaha, we can be regarded as fulfilling our wish!"

There are dead bodies everywhere outside the city, and the stench is pungent. The hot weather makes the remains of the war dead decompose in a very short period of time. Scavenging birds fly from the sky in black, scrambling to peck. I don't know where they came from. Groups of wild dogs, tilting their heads, tore at the corpse vigorously, biting the bones with a creaking creak, staring at a pair of blood-red eyes and barking at the sky from time to time, but the sound was not like a dog.

Under the city of Zunhua, it has become a hell on earth.

In the distance, the sound of drums was rumbling, and another round of attack was about to begin. There was an immediate commotion in the city. Countless people who were lying or sitting got up in an instant, rushed to the front of the wall, and stared ahead. It was completely filled up, and the outer fortifications that Long Xiaotian had painstakingly managed were all gone. The next moment, the final siege battle would begin.

The flesh on Qian Duo's body was reduced, and the tight armor finally fit him better. The gourd hammer, his hand weapon, had already been discounted in the battle outside the city. It made him feel distressed. Beside him, there was a young boy with a green face. This boy who was nervous to pee before the war was wearing a Minzhou soldier's armor at the moment, with a scabbard sword hanging from his waist. His childishness has long since disappeared, replaced by a strong hostility. In the past three days, he has killed more than a dozen enemies, and he has also witnessed dozens of familiar people fall on the battlefield. , he learned that stabbing with a gun can kill him all at once, he learned how to slash there with a knife, the enemy's armor defense is the weakest, he no longer vomits, and he can even sit on the enemy's corpse, eating sesame seed cakes, and learned a lot After the battle, he stripped off the enemy's armor and happily gave it to his companions.

Compared with Qian Duo, Tian Chong's appearance is much worse. Qian Duo has a huge body. Speaking of which, his target on the battlefield is much more obvious than Tian Chong's. , there are no less than ten scars on his body, although they are not fatal, they still have some influence on the action. Seeing that the flesh has lost a lot, and it looks much stronger than before, Tian Chong's eyes are moving up and down. , obviously very puzzled.This bastard, his martial arts are not as good as his, his body is not as flexible as his own, and his battlefield experience is not as rich as his own. Why is he not injured at all?
Tian Chong was indignant.

"Le Buping, come, have a drink!" Waved a hand and threw a leather pouch to the young man beside Qian Duo.This is a bag of bad wine, and I don't know how much water is mixed in it. Anyway, it smells like wine, but it tastes very dull after drinking it. Although Long Xiaotian has raised a lot of supplies, there is not much wine after all. And a small amount of spirits is used for medicine, it is absolutely impossible for them to drink.

The young man took the wine bag, took a sip, and snatched it from Qian Duo face to face, "Leave some for me!"

Lying on the wall, Tian Chong looked at the advancing enemy army, and spat out, "Damn, it's endless, hurrying to reincarnate!"

Le Buping raised a pair of indifferent eyes, glanced at the distance, then lowered his head again, took the wine bag from Qian Duo's hand, raised his neck and took a big gulp, then sat down and carefully looked at the pile of iron that was given to him. The gun head is fitted with a wooden handle.

Qinzhou, Guoshanfeng camp, the huge barracks is empty, all the troops that Guoshanfeng can send have been dispatched, only [-] soldiers are left to guard Xingyuan, the long-planned Qinling campaign Starting from Guan Xinglong's jumping horse Xiaoaihe, a huge plan to smash the defense line of Qinling Mountains matured here. After reporting it to Li Qing, Li Qing modified it and used his body as bait to increase the biggest chance of winning. Possibly, right now, the defenders of Huting were successfully mobilized, Yu Xiaoaihe's combined army was destroyed, Jiang Heiniu and Buyangu blitzed Huting, and Wang Qinian's army secretly mobilized in the early stage raided Anfu Temple, suppressing the defenders there. Everything is under control, and within a few days, the Qinling defense line that Zhou Tong placed high hopes on will be torn apart, turning from a whole into several disconnected and isolated strongholds, which will never become an obstacle for the Dingzhou army to attack.

But at this moment, a terrible news came that the Minzhou army made a large-scale invasion and raided Qingyang.

Guo Shanfeng was almost mad, his eyes were bloodshot. No one knew the situation in the whole prefecture better than him. In order to fight the battle of Qinling, he dispatched almost all the defenders in the prefecture. Even the five thousand regular troops couldn't get together, so I did all the calculations, but I forgot about Zhang Aimin in Minzhou.

If Quanzhou fell, the results of the Battle of Qinling would be gone. Not only would he not be able to attack Xingzhou, but he would be forced to withdraw his troops and counterattack Quanzhou.

"Shang Canjun is really not so old and spicy!" Guo Shanfeng murmured, his bloodshot eyes stared at the map, but even if he saw flowers, he couldn't see a supporting army for no reason.

As soon as Shang Haibo made a move, he hit the soft threat of the Dingzhou Army. The Dingzhou Army estimated in advance that the Minzhou Army would not be able to recover its combat power within two to three years, so it could not be said to pose a threat to Dingzhou, but the intelligence showed This time when Minzhou's vanguard general was Liao Bin, Guo Shanfeng understood that when Shang Haibo left Beijing, he must have quietly incorporated Liao Bin's troops into the Minzhou Army, with Liao Bin's [-] soldiers It is not impossible for Minzhou to restore its combat power.

"When he left Beijing, he had already decided to fight Qingyang!" Guo Shanfeng said to his staff: "The Qinling campaign we launched just happened to be his best footnote! He is indeed my teacher!"

"General, be careful!" The staff around him hurriedly stopped him.

Guo Shanfeng shook his head, "There is nothing to say. Even if Shang Haibo betrays and becomes my enemy, I should not forget that he taught me the original art of war. The bandit has become today's general in command, thanks to his painstaking cultivation."

The staff smiled wryly, now that Shang Haibo has become a taboo in Dingzhou, if this is known to the Internal Affairs Department of the Overwatch Council and reported to the lord, it will inevitably make the lord unhappy.

"Send an order to General Wang Qinian. Within three days, he must take down Anfu Temple! Then, with the Tianlei Camp as the vanguard, rush to the rescue of Quanzhou, and tell General Wang that even if the horse is run to death, within ten days, he must give I'm going to Zunhua." Guo Shanfeng said without a doubt.

"Buyangu, Jiang Heiniu, after capturing Huting, immediately marched towards Xingzhou, forcing the Xingzhou defenders to not move lightly."

"Report to the lord, after the Yaque Ridge passage is opened, please return to Qinzhou to take charge of the overall situation."

After issuing several orders in a row, Guo Shanfeng stepped down from his big case, reached out and pulled out the mace that had not been used for a long time, and waved it a few times.

"General Guo, you?" The staff immediately understood what Guo Shanfeng meant.

"I will personally lead two thousand soldiers in Xingyuan to help Zunhua immediately." Guo Shanfeng said awe-inspiringly: "You stay at Xingyuan, and if you have official documents, sort them out and present them to the lord. I think the lord will send them within three to five days Will return to Qinzhou."

"Over the general, let's wait until the lord returns to Qinzhou to make plans. Now that the army is fighting in front, there is no general in Xingyuan to command, how can we make it?"

"The battle order has been issued, and the goals to be achieved are clear to all generals. What else do I need to do? Am I here to be a spectator?" Guo Shanfeng laughed, "Zunhua is not only three or five days, but even one day. Can't wait!"

Holding the mace, he walked out of the big tent. A moment later, the sound of golden drums was heard in the barracks, and two thousand soldiers stood in formation, one on two horses.

Guo Shanfeng jumped on his horse and said loudly to the two thousand soldiers: "On the way, change horses without changing people, eat, drink, sleep, everything will be resolved immediately!"

Under the city of Zunhua, the Minzhou army rushed up the city wall for the first attack. After a hand-to-hand fight, Tian Chong was kicked out again, and Tian Chong was stabbed again, dripping with blood. , this damn fat man was fighting desperately like him just now, but he lost a few strands of hair, and was shaved half-bald, God, how can this be human!
The soldiers tried their best to throw the enemy soldiers who died on the city to the city, lifted up their brothers, and formed a row under the city.After uncovering the corpses of several enemies, one body squirmed a few times. Everyone was startled, and when they drew their knives to slash, they found that this person turned out to be very happy.

Standing up unsteadily, Le Buping was obviously still a little confused, took a deep breath, and suddenly said, "It smells so good, General, I'm hungry!"

Everyone stared at him dumbfounded, Qian Duo and Tian Chong retched at the same time, you bastard, this scent is the scent from the hot fat poured down from the city to cook the enemy.

"You can do it, you can do it!" Tian Chong gave Le Buping a thumbs up.
