Chapter 54 Stone Bridge Attack and Defense 4
(Today is Monday, please don't hesitate to leave the red ticket! Thank you, brothers! How do these chapters look?)
Those military generals who were a little sulking just now because they didn't get the first place to fight, they were all cold. Just now they were unfair about He Renlong's arrangement, and now no one was dissatisfied with He Renlong. They were secretly happy. Fortunately, they didn't click on them just now, otherwise In that case, I'm afraid it's them who will be carried back horizontally now.
He Renlong's face was as heavy as water and looked at Lv Pin, who was covered with blood. He was carried back from the front by his own soldiers and put it in front of him. Lv Pin's face was very pale, and there were blood stains from the corners of his mouth. His eyes were slightly open, but his eyes were already scattered. The wound on his chest was still slowly bleeding out. But Lv Pin has already let go.
He Renlong silently turned over and got off his horse. He bent down and looked at Lv Pin's face lying down. First, he reached out and probed his nose, and then reached out to Lv Pin's face. He gently closed his slightly open eyes. He straightened up and waved his hand to the soldiers who carried Lv Pin back. Several soldiers cried and took Lv Pin's. The body was lifted down.
" Xing Tianjun! Xiao Tianjian! I, He, remember you today! This revenge will not be avenged. I swear not to be a man! Bai Youliang and He Fang, I ordered the two of you to lead 300 soldiers each, and transfer another 200 auxiliary soldiers to set up a pontoon bridge from both sides of the big stone bridge, forcibly cross the Wanzi River, and envelop the two wings. Today, I vow to destroy this criminal army here!
The rest of the people, rest on the spot, and wait for my order! Get ready to attack again!" He Renlong gritted his teeth and squeezed these words out of his teeth fiercely.
The two generals under his command immediately clenched their fists and took orders. They quickly walked down and began to dispatch the generals. The officers and soldiers who were shouting to kill just now were dumb. The artillery that had been fighting with Xing Tianjun were also withdrawn, and Lv Pin's generals, after this battle, were basically disabled. Four Hundreds of people lost nearly 20% on the stone bridge, and even the main general Lv Pin was killed on the stone bridge, so that the morale of this man has fallen to the bottom. In a short time, they can't be used, so they can only be arranged to rest after the battle for the time being.
After this first battle, the officers and soldiers on He Renlong's side threw down the bodies of nearly a hundred officers and soldiers on the stone bridge. Some of them were not dead. They were lying in a pool of blood and wailing. Several crows in the sky were crouching and hovering, as if they wanted to fall down, but they were not afraid, but they had also been The smell of blood attracted so much that I didn't want to leave, so I had to hover in the sky and wait for the opportunity to have a full meal, which made the battlefield much more desolate.
On the west bank of the river, they looked at the defeated officers and soldiers and made a shocking cheers. Many officers and soldiers stared at the Xingtian army on the other side of the Wanzi River and cursed one after another. However, compared with the time when they came just now, the morale of the officers and army fell a lot, and no one regarded the Xingtian army on the other side as The mob looked at it.
A group of Xing Tianjun's soldiers came out from behind again. Under the command of the officers, they quickly ran to the big stone bridge, cut off the heads of the dead officers and soldiers, stripped off their armor by the way, picked up their weapons, and piled up the stripped bodies on the stone bridge, forming a corpse wall. It blocked the way of the officers and soldiers. If the officers and soldiers still want to attack the stone bridge, they must climb over the corpse wall and climb through the corpse. It is estimated that even those old soldiers under He Renlong will be scared.
When cutting the heads of these officers and soldiers, some injured people had not yet died. Looking at someone coming, they pleaded for mercy, but their forgiveness did not work at all. Instead, they attracted the thieves to come closer and cut off, completely ending their pain. Some injuries The soldier knew that he was not spared, so he cursed, and the shouting and curses filled the stone bridge. Many voices stopped abruptly, which made people feel uncomfortable. Some officers and soldiers even cursed in the battle, scolding the ancestors of the Xingtian Army.
He Renlong looked at the scene on the big stone bridge with a ferocious face and gritted his teeth. Even his beard on his jaw trembled slightly because of anger. Xing Tianjun was really arrogant to the extreme. He actually cleaned the battlefield and slaughtered the wounded soldiers in front of them. It was clearly insulting their officers and soldiers. However, because the other side had artillery to control the battlefield, the officers and soldiers were newly defeated, and they did not dare to send people to fight for the bodies of their own officers and soldiers on the stone bridge. They could only watch the thieves arrogant.
"Aight at the stone bridge and fire for me! Scatter them!" He Renlong angrily pointed to the direction of the stone bridge and gave orders to his generals.
A rumble of artillery sounded in front of the officers and soldiers. Several shells suddenly landed near the stone bridge. Some shells simply landed dozens of steps away from the stone bridge, stirring up a piece of earth and stone, while some shells fell directly into the Wanzi River, stirring up a column of water, but because the distance was too far, it was nothing at all. No one fell on the stone bridge, so there is no need to talk about the damage caused to the members of the Xing Tianjun who are cleaning the battlefield.
The soldiers of the Xing Tianjun who cleaned the battlefield laughed loudly at the incompetence of the officers and soldiers, and took things and heads back behind the earth embankment on the west bank of the river.
Not long after, on the embankment on the west bank of the river, a row of wooden sticks appeared. One or several grinning heads were picked on each stick. After seeing these heads, the morale of He Renlong's officers and soldiers plummeted, and they became nervous one by one.
Xiao Tianjian stood on the embankment, looked at the situation of the officers and soldiers on the other side, and said with a smile, "I guess He Renlong is going to be angry!" Let's see what they do next! Pass the order and let the brothers seize the time to rest. This battle has just begun, and it is far from the end! It is expected that He Renlong will never give up!"
"General, He Renlong has suffered such a big loss. It is expected that he will not attack the river in a different way. The Wanzi River is not much water now, and there are many places for them to cross the river nearby. And the general, please see that He Renlong's department is retreating. It seems that the soldiers and horses are being rearranged. We have to guard against it!" Shi Ran looked at the officers and soldiers gradually retreat and seemed to be making some adjustments, so he said to Xiao Tianjian. As a sentinel, he naturally knew more about the terrain in this area than Xiao Tianjian, so he reminded Xiao Tianjian with some worries.
Xiao Tianjian stared at the other side of the river. He really saw the signs that He Renlong's soldiers and horses were being mobilized, so he nodded and said, "Shi Ran is right. We really have to guard against it!" Well, send two scouts to explore north and south along the river bank. Once you find that the officers and soldiers are trying to cross from the two wings, they will immediately return! Let's make other arrangements!"
Soon after, the two scout teams immediately left the Great Stone Bridge and drove along the west bank of the river in two directions.
He Renlong did not delay too much. At present, because of the urgent order of Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, he must rush back to Longzhou City before Longzhou City is destroyed. If it is delayed, he, his deputy general, will end up. Therefore, although he was frustrated in the battle just now, he also broke off his subordinate generals and his army. The morale hit a lot, but after a little adjustment, he once again sent a general and led 500 elite soldiers to drive in the direction of the Great Stone Bridge.
This time, it was obvious that He Renlong learned a lot and didn't dare to be so big. Instead, when he sent this group of men, at the same time, the cannons in the general were transferred to the front, covering the cannon with several shields, and forcing them in the direction of the Dashi Bridge first.
And gradually bring the artillery closer to less than 200 steps on the east bank of the river, so that these guns can effectively reach the formation of the Xingtian Army on the west bank of the river.
The attacking team of generals slowly drove in the direction of the stone bridge behind these artillery. Compared with the last swaggering rush, they became much more cautious. The proportion of knife player was increased in the military array. At the same time, they also carried several temporarily modified shield cars, which also followed the artillery. Gradually advance towards the stone bridge.
After watching the movements of the officers and soldiers of He Renlong, Xing Tianjun in Hexi immediately began to get nervous and began to mobilize according to Xiao Tianjian's order.
According to the terrain on the west bank of the river, Xiao Tianjian ordered Huang Shengqiang to transfer the two Furang machine guns to the north side of the bridge, which enhanced the firepower here. At the same time, several nine-headed birds were moved to the road facing the bridge and placed on both sides of the road, so that these nine-headed birds could go straight to the bridge. At the same time, they sent soldiers at a rapid speed. Several nine-headed birds built a simple cannon-fire bunker to avoid being injured by the artillery of the officers on the other side.
Compared with the tiger squat gun, Xiao Tianjian attaches great importance to the large gun of the nine-headed bird, which is not lower than the tiger squat gun. To some extent, he prefers to use this nine-headed bird. The reason is very simple. Although the nine-headed bird's pipe is relatively thin and the body tube is relatively long, and the number of loaded is not as good as the tiger squat gun, but it is expensive here. The guy is more convenient to carry than the tiger squat gun. The range is far more than the short and thick tiger squat gun, and the accuracy is also higher. Its function is a bit similar to the war defense cannon of later generations. It can be directly used for the most cutting-edge combat to provide accurate strikes for the army. The power is not too small, so in the narrow area, a few nine-headed birds are concentrated and fire at the same time. It can often have a good killing effect.
So this time, all the nine-headed birds in his general were concentrated at the bridge, just to block the stone bridge. The first battle just now also tested this effect. The team of officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the nine-headed birds. The two fierce shocks were hit back by these limited number of nine-headed birds, and they watched The enemy general was also knocked to the ground.
Therefore, Xiao Tianjian also attached great importance to the protection of these nine-headed birds. Xing Tianjun's firepower is not He Renlong's opponent. Fighting for consumption is to die. If He Renlong loses, he can ask the court to supplement it. If he consumes it all, in addition to grabbing, in the current situation, rely on himself. It is impossible to make up for the loss! Therefore, Xing Tianjun must use good steel on the blade, and pay special attention to his protection.
And He Renlong obviously still uses the old-style war mode. Although the officers and soldiers also realize the importance of artillery for field warfare and equip the army with a lot of artillery, most of these artillery are old-fashioned gun trucks, which are suitable for fixed shooting, but it is very inconvenient to exercise. The gunner who uses the gun will not be pressed to the front, at most to provide limited fire support to the attacking troops.
In this way, Xing Tianjun can occupy a certain firepower advantage in a limited area, which is also the reason why Xing Tianjun dares to fight head-on with He Renlong in Dashiqiao.
