Chapter 981 The Last Battle in Pingzhou
Minzhou changed flags, Zhang Aimin announced his surrender to Dingzhou, and pushed Da Chu hard on the back of Da Chu, who had already stepped half of his foot on the cliff. He was dying, and he could only watch helplessly as Zhang Aimin hammered a few more nails into the coffin.

Qu Yongjie's eyes were bloodshot, staring at the map in front of him, Zhang Aimin deployed heavy troops in the Guancheng area, cutting off his way to retreat to Luoyang, and behind him, the 15 blocking troops led by Zhou Tong couldn't stop Lu Dalin and Tian Feng for a long time. He and his [-] troops were in desperate situation.

"General, go to Dingjun Mountain!" Lieutenant General Ma Xieyou stared at the map, "Zhang Aimin is heavily guarding the Guancheng area. There should be a gap in Dingjun Mountain. We just need to speed up and snatch Dingjun Mountain, and then we can retreat through there."

Qu Yongjie looked at the map without blinking, "When did Zhang Aimin surrender to Dingzhou? Since Chen Zeyue placed all Zhang Aimin's Minzhou soldiers in Guancheng, how could he not have thought of Dingjun Mountain, and there would be no troops stationed there? The elite forces of the Dingzhou Army must be stationed. Given the danger of Dingjun Mountain, as long as the opponent seizes favorable terrain and builds a solid position in advance, it will be difficult for us to fight over. What's more, our morale is low now? And the morale of the Dingzhou Army is high. Wang?"

"Then what should we do? There are only two passages, either through Guancheng or Dingjunshan!" Ma Xieyou bit his lip, "There are nearly 10 people stationed by Zhang Aimin in Guancheng."

Qu Yongjie raised his head, "Let's go to Guancheng! Although Zhang Aimin has a lot of troops, but now he has just surrendered to Dingzhou, how high is his morale? Presumably his subordinates are also panic-stricken, not much better than us. Xieyou, the main force is going to Guancheng , but Dingjun Mountain must also send a partial division to go there. If there is an opportunity or the opponent ignores this place, then this partial division will immediately seize the Dingzhou Army, and the army will immediately turn to the direction of Dingjun Mountain."

"The last general is going to Dingjun Mountain!" Ma Xieyou said, "Regardless of whether there are enemy troops stationed there, the last general must take Dingjun Mountain."

"Do your best!" Qu Yongjie sighed: "The situation has collapsed to this point, we can only do our best and obey the destiny!"

In Pingzhou City, after Qu Yongjie led the main force to retreat, Lu Dalin and Tian Feng immediately launched a fierce attack. In less than ten days, the entire Pingzhou, except the county city, was still in the hands of Zhou Tong, and the rest of the place fell. The troops approached Pingzhou City from two directions, and on April [-]th, after Guan Xinglong led the reorganization of the original Guoshanfeng Dongfang Army, they approached Pingzhou City, and Zhou Tong's troops were completely besieged.

After a whole day of fierce fighting, there were dead bodies everywhere in Pingzhou City, and the fierce resistance of Zhou Tong's troops surprised both Lu Tian and Lu Tian. It is the final stubborn resistance with the will to die.

Zhou Tong stood on the city tower with a knife, his body was stained with blood. Now, he is no longer needed as a general to make any overall arrangements. Pingzhou is a big city, and only 2 people are left on the city wall. When will the opponent If he attacked, it would be almost certain that the city would be broken, and he no longer had a reserve team in his hands.

The remaining 2 people are his core troops, all Qinzhou soldiers, who were forced to retreat a few years ago and left their hometown. A few months ago, when they were happy that Duke Wan had finally returned to his hometown, He didn't have a firm foothold, but he was beaten back again, and this time he retreated further and further. Now Qinzhou is thousands of miles away.

"General Zhou, the flag of the Marine Corps entered the opponent's camp today!" A lieutenant came over.

"Has Yunchi Port finally been broken?" Zhou Tong sighed. Since he was besieged in Pingzhou City, he has completely cut off the news from the outside. Since the Dingzhou Marine Corps appeared under the city, it is natural Yunchi Harbor also no longer exists.

"The opponent's Shenwei cannon is also coming!" Zhou Tong smiled wryly, "Tomorrow will break the city!"

"General, the last general wants to take a dangerous blow!"

Zhou Tong looked at him sideways, "You want to sneak out of the city to attack your opponent? Dingzhou soldiers have always been very strict in this regard. Lu Dalin, Tian Feng, and Guan Xinglong are all experienced generals, and they will not leave us such a loophole. of."

"No!" The lieutenant general shook his head, "The enemy's powerful cannons are coming. Once we let them attack the city with cannons tomorrow, we will no longer be able to defend the city. I want to go down at night to lurk, and when the battle starts tomorrow, we will suddenly attack Their artillery position caused them chaos, and General Zhou, you took the opportunity to open the city gates and concentrate all your troops to break through, maybe you still have a chance to find General Qu."

"Why are you lurking?" Zhou Tong's heart moved.

The lieutenant pointed to the piles of corpses lying in the city, "These corpses are our best cover. General, give me 2000 people. This is the only chance. When the cannon fires tomorrow, we won't have even the slightest chance!"

"But in this way, you will have no chance of survival?" Tong Zhou said.

"There is still no chance to defend the city!" The lieutenant smiled and said, "If you can exchange 2000 people for the main force to break through, it will be worth it!"

Under the city of Pingzhou, in Lu Dalin's big tent, there was a relaxed atmosphere. Tian Feng, Guan Xinglong and the main generals of various ministries gathered here. Inside the big tent, it can be said that there are a lot of stars, any one of them is very famous, compared with Luoyang As the rivers and rivers went downhill, famous generals fell one after another, and Dingzhou's thriving momentum was fully evident.

Lu Dabing, the commander of the Red Cavalry, Guo Quan under the command of the Fengli Division, Buyangu under the command of the Feiling Battalion, Li Feng under the command of the Yizhou Battalion, Xiong Dehai under the command of the Hailing Battalion, Jiang Heiniu under the command of the Ruijian Battalion, and Wei under the command of the Stormy Bear Battalion. Xin, Zheng Zhiqiang, the commander of the Marine Corps, Chang Liqing, Xiong Jihai, Li Shanbin, He Ping, Liang Yi, Zhou Shuwen, etc., everyone was talking and laughing. Then he swung straight forward, chasing and beating Qu Yongjie's buttocks.

"After this battle, Luoyang will no longer have the energy to fight us in a large-scale battle, so we can only defend the surrounding areas of Luoyang. We have to work together and take down Pingzhou City in one go. Qu Yongjie wants to retreat from Minzhou, but he doesn't want Minzhou to surrender to us. This is the last mobile force in Luoyang. We have to hurry up, otherwise Chen Zeyue will eat up in Minzhou Qu Yongjie, we don't even have to drink soup!"

Tian Feng looked at Zheng Zhiqiang with a smile: "General Zheng, the first battle tomorrow will depend on your navy's artillery."

Zheng Zhiqiang stood up, "Don't worry, General Tian, ​​the Shenwei cannon will enter the position tonight, and at the beginning of the siege tomorrow, everyone will see the power of the Shenwei cannon!"

"The city of Pingzhou is tall and thick, and the Shenwei cannon can't blow down the city wall for a while. It is more used to suppress the defenders on the city. The attack on the city depends on infantry! Which general will lead the battle tomorrow?" Lu Dalin asked. road.

"The last general is willing to go!" Xiong Dehai, Wei Xin, Jiang Heiniu, Guo Quan and others suddenly stood up, staring, refusing to give in to each other.

"I, Wei, is the oldest, so I will do my part!" Wei Xin said triumphantly, stroking his goatee. "When it comes to field battles, Mr. Wei is not on par with you, but when it comes to defending and attacking the city, Mr. Wei is much better than you."

Xiong Dehai chirped, "Old Wei, you are a well-known master of the tortoise style. You are a veteran when it comes to defense, but now we are attacking. When it comes to offense, who is as strong as my Hailing camp? The dangerous land of the blade was also captured by our Hailing Camp, just Pingzhou City, no problem. You should rest! You are all old bones, so don't get tired."

"What kind of nonsense is this!" Wei Xin was so angry that his beard grew tall, "Xiong Dehai, don't look at you as a brash brat, do you dare to challenge Old Wei with me?"

Jiang Heiniu stood up slowly, "I said, what are you two fighting for? This striker position must be mine. I think when my sharp key camp became famous, the Hailing camp and the violent bear camp were the two of you. They are all gone. When it comes to veteran qualifications, who is better than me? Of course it is me, Lao Guo, Lao Guo, shut up, even though you are a general of Hussars, this military rank is higher than mine , the number of people under my command is also more than mine. Apart from the two generals and General Guan Xinglong, you are the only one in this account. How dare you jump out and fight for credit with us? You are tired of eating big fish and meat, so this little broth will let you How about giving it to us?"

Just as Guo Quan was about to speak, he was pushed back by Jiang Heiniu. Although Guo Quan is now high-level, in terms of veteran qualifications, he is really far behind Jiang Heiniu. When Jiang Heiniu was a general, he was still Guo Quan. A small school lieutenant, the Dingzhou Army can easily grab a handful, and sat down sullenly.

Zheng Zhiqiang was funny. He had never seen this kind of competition for the opportunity to be a forward. He was a Marine Corps. Anyway, when he was going to go ashore to fight, he couldn't compete with him.

Others in the tent, such as Chang Liqing, Xiong Jihai, Li Shanbin, He Ping, are not qualified to join in, they just stand aside and watch the show.

"Okay, let me see it this way!" Lu Dalin also had a headache, these generals were all fierce and fierce, and all of them had a lot of military exploits, so it was indeed difficult to choose. "In Pingzhou City, there are no more than [-] to [-] defenders. The opponent does not seem to be planning to break out of the siege, and we can't do any tricks to encircle the three ques. Tomorrow, when the cannon is fired, the four cities will attack at the same time. How about the gate attack? If the big guys want to compete, whoever enters the city first? Whoever puts the battalion flag on the tower first will be the first to take down Pingzhou City, how about it?"

Tian Feng and Guan Xinglong would definitely not agree to this kind of peace-making method in normal times, but now that Pingzhou City is really vulnerable, the two also acquiesced to Lu Dalin's method, seeing the battle step by step As the battle is about to end, the bigger the battle, the less chance the generals will have to make contributions. It is not good to offend anyone at this time.
