Chapter 519 Begging
The Langya Army has arrived at the edge of this fighting field.
Zang Ba stood on his horse, constantly sizing up the situation on the battlefield through the afterglow of the setting sun.
He was still far away before, and he could tell just by the sound that the fight was fierce. But when he really arrived and put himself in their shoes, he could know how brutal this battle was.
He saw a general being surrounded from all sides, and finally died in the car camp. He also saw a general holding a ring-headed sword, jumping into the Taishan Army's formation and attacking, but after a while his limbs were shattered and mangled on the ground.
All the surrounding Langya generals were looking at Zang Ba. They had mixed emotions. They wanted to rush into the Taishan Army's enemy formation immediately and rescue those Xuzhou heroes, but they were also frightened by the Taishan Army's combat power.
Many people were spitting and feeling uneasy.
Yes, Langya generals have not been able to get out yet.
The various expressions of the generals were clearly seen by Zang Ba, which made him more determined in his previous decision.
That is, this battle must be fought, otherwise their Langya soldiers will always be Qingxu's second rate.
If before the war, Zang Ba was still thinking about picking up bargains, then by now his hidden heroic heart had been aroused.
He Zang Ba was also like this. He had thousands of troops, no matter how strong the enemy was, he would fight them to the death even if they met on a narrow road.
But after being a thief for a long time, this person really thinks that he is just a thief.
Since his subordinates are still afraid of the Taishan Army, he must fight the Taishan Army here in an upright manner.
Moreover, the timing chosen by Zang Ba was also quite clever.
He just took a look at the edge and discovered that the Taishan Army was now at the end of its war effort. First of all, they had been fighting fiercely with Chen Dengjun for nearly two hours, and both their physical fitness and combat power were exhausted. In addition, they have a small number of people. Even if Zang Ba has seen another Taishan army coming over, they are still at an absolute disadvantage in numbers.
Zang Ba has been fighting for several years, and his forces include Langya, Beihai, and Donglai. He has a hundred thousand soldiers. However, the four thousand he chose this time are all veterans who have been with him for many years. With a strong army, this battle must be fought. Get rid of everyone's fear.
So Zang Ba raised the iron blade in his hand and shouted:
"The sea is changing, and it's time for heroes to rise up. Are you brothers willing to follow Zang and try the Taishan bandit's blade again?"
Zang Ba has already established supreme prestige in the hearts of Langya people. At this time, his words are more powerful than those of thousands of people. Everyone is excited and they all raise their weapons and shout:
"I am willing to fight again with Kui."
Among them were the nephews of those who died in the battle, and they roared even more:
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
Zang Ba's eyes turned red and he shouted:
"Revenge!"
So, under the leadership of Zang Ba, the Langya troops charged forward.
They didn't have any formation, so they rushed forward in groups of eight. Among them, Zang Ba was at the forefront, followed by the eight generals behind him, all taking the lead.
Leading by example is not only the style of these Langya thieves, but also the basis of their power.
As Zang Ba’s father said to Zang Ba before his death:
"To be the leader of our Langya people, you must first be a warrior, a warrior who can personally lead the brothers to charge into battle and win honors. If you hand over military power to outsiders or minor surnames, your power will be fake. Because like us The Langya people only care about themselves. They only want to get rich, have power, and live a good life, and they have no other pursuits, so you must shoulder your responsibilities and set an example for others.”
Keeping his father's last words in mind, Zang Ba takes the lead in every battle. He himself believes that the destiny of a person like him is to destroy the enemy, either to make the enemy surrender, or to die on the battlefield himself.
Therefore, it is dangerous to be the leader of a group of tough Langya thieves, but this danger also gives them a strong will to fight.
This time they will have a showdown with the Taishan Army.
……
Gao Ya was running in heavy armor, and behind him were 800 fully-dressed armored soldiers, all of whom had finished changing their uniforms at the rear.
After running for a while, Gao Ya couldn't help but curse:
"Hot girl, how did this fight end like this?"
This is just to add fuel to the fire. If the enemy reinforcements come, and if he comes here again, it will be a fight to the death, lining up to fight.
But the problem is, Gao Ya and their condition are not ideal either.
Gao Ya had already been supporting the main force of the southern defense line for several days before. Today, he had to run for a long time to mobilize Han soldiers to pursue, and his physical fitness was not very sufficient.
So when Gao Ya came up with 800 armored soldiers, he did not immediately go into the battlefield, but rested temporarily in the wilderness to the northeast.
It was also in this space that Gao Ya made a rough judgment on the entire battlefield situation.
Now Zang Ba's Langya soldiers have launched an attack, and have directly replaced Chen Deng's army as the main force to attack the front.
Chen Deng's army, which was supported by Zang Ba, also took the opportunity to retreat to the rear to repair and try to reorganize.
However, this was not something that could be accomplished in an instant. Among the four ministries that had retreated previously, a large number of grassroots military officials were shot dead by the Taishan Army. Even if there were still remaining troops at this time, they had lost the ability to reorganize.
At the same time, after switching the frontal battlefield to Zang Ba, Gao Ya saw that Chen Deng's large military chariot had turned to the west, where Chen Guang's troops were ascending the defense line.
In addition, the remnants of Chen Deng's troops who had been regrouped in the rear were moving up to the east in a steady stream, which is where Gao Ya is now.
So now the situation is very clear, that is, the enemy wants to use effective force to defeat our own tired troops as soon as possible, and let Chen Deng's troops serve as sniper troops to block the reinforcements from the Taishan Army on the left and right wings.
After understanding the enemy's intentions, Gao Ya quickly made a judgment that Zang Ba's army must be attacked first. Since a fist stretched out first, then crush it.
The first thing is to crush Chen Dengjun's Jianghuai soldiers.
So Gao Ya issued the first military order:
"The whole army drinks three mouthfuls of honey water."
The eight hundred soldiers heard the order and took off the gourd from their waists and took three small sips.
There will be high-intensity exercise in a while, so drink honey water first to reserve energy, because later the battle will be fierce and there will be no time to drink.
On the other hand, they cannot drink too much. Because if you drink too much and then exercise, you will hiccup.
It's okay to hiccup normally, but if you hiccup on the battlefield, you are leaving your life to others.
This is the delicacy of Taishan Army.
Their tactics were summarized from long battles, and they transformed the army bit by bit, creating such a legion that was far ahead of the times.
After completing preparations, Gao Ya drew out her double swords and stepped out:
"Kill!"
All the soldiers took a step together:
"Kill!"
Then Gao Ya took the lead in singing the war song:
"Raise swords and soldiers, exchange for peace, and restore the Qingming Dynasty to the world!"
All the armored soldiers chanted:
"Raise swords and soldiers, exchange for peace, and restore the Qingming Dynasty to the world!"
Until the end, all the Taishan soldiers on this battlefield shouted:
"Raise swords and soldiers, exchange for peace, and restore the Qingming Dynasty to the world!"
For a time, the sky and the earth turned pale.
Many of the Langya thieves who were still fighting bravely felt their hearts tense, and the fear of being dominated was awakened. Many people immediately dropped their weapons and became deserters, and were eventually killed by their brothers behind them.
These people are the latest talents in recent years. When they killed these deserters, they also spit on their corpses:
"You guys are worthy of being called brothers? Kui is fighting in front, why do you have to run for your lives?"
After saying that, he couldn't help but chop the corpses into pieces.
Naturally, these young Langya thieves didn't know what was so powerful about this military song, nor did they know how many heroes the Taishan Army had defeated by singing this military song.
They are new born calves who are not afraid of tigers. They only have eyes for the leader who rushes to kill at the front.
What these people didn't know was that as the Gaoya troops in the east finished singing the military song, their speed became faster and faster, and then they directly hit Chen Deng's military formation on the east flank.
Chen Deng's army, which had been defeated by Taishan's army, was immediately killed and cried for father and mother.
They watched the iron soldiers covered in armor step by step, slaughtering their own robes wantonly with heavy axes, heavy knives, and bones in their hands. Their hearts felt like ice. They cried in Jianghuai dialect:
"I'm dead!"
But the elegant armored soldiers were indifferent at all, and gradually dispersed their formation, spreading their attacks even wider.
They operate weapons at a very stable frequency, keeping their physical energy consumption at a stable rhythm.
This of course requires long-term professional training.
In fact, the armored soldier in Gao Ya's hands belonged to Guan Yu's army. Their training is also different from the officials of other battalions. The officials of other battalions will practice formations and practice five soldiers.
But this formation-breaking armored soldier only practiced one thing, and that was the counterweight training. For them, only physical fitness and explosiveness are what they want to pursue.
But when these sturdy and strong armored soldiers break into the enemy's formation wearing iron armor and carrying heavy weapons, all skills are secondary, and only physical fitness is the only one.
When more and more Pao Ze died under the sword of Taishan Army, when the increasingly mournful pleas for life received no response at all, these Chen Deng's subordinates from the Jianghuai area aroused their rebellious spirit.
The wailing was replaced by yelling. These unique yells in the Jianghuai region profoundly reflect the bravery of the people in this land. They are:
"It will kill your dear mother-in-law to fight with these gangsters."
Another example:
"Xiao Biyang, I'm going to kill you. I'll kill you first."
In this way, the bravery in their bones and blood was fully inspired.
Thousands of years ago, they were able to use Xu Man's genus to repeatedly injure the Zhou people in the Central Plains, giving these pretentious Central Plains people a little barbarian shock. Thousands of years later, the barbarians in the Jianghuai Jidian area are still the best soldiers in the world. They have shouldered the last line of defense of Chinese civilization countless times, blocking the barbarians from the north.
And here, these Jiangbei people, who still have unruly and rough blood flowing in their bones and blood, showed for the first time in front of the Taishan Army what it means to fight to the death.
Three or two of them screamed and rushed up, hugging a Taishan Army armor and twisting it to the ground. Even though someone had been stabbed into the abdominal cavity with a knife, they still held on tightly, giving Paoze a chance to fight back.
People have their own reasons for wanting to die, whether it is for righteousness or for last resort interests, but this is not the case for these Jianghuai people who are determined to die. They can't live, so they just want to die, just to have a breath.
With so much passion, even if the enemy is strong and we are weak, it will only end in one lifetime.
Gradually, the armored soldiers of the Taishan Army felt more and more pressure. From time to time, someone was dragged to the ground and then stabbed to death in various ways.
Therefore, Gao Ya, who was charging at the front line, decisively asked the officials on the side to blow the trumpets and regroup.
In this way, amidst the melodious sound of the horn, the armored soldiers scattered near the battlefield reorganized in twos and threes. They formed a square formation with elegance as the core.
This square formation has a long front and narrow depth in order to form a longer striking surface.
While the Taishan Army was forming formation, the Jianghuai soldiers on the opposite side tried to continue their attack, but were beaten to death by the waiting armored soldiers.
After Taishan's army formed a formation again, Chen Deng's remaining troops on the right wing finally collapsed.
They roared and flew from the friendly Langya army's position next door, disrupting the Langya army's defense line.
But the tenacious resistance of these people really worked.
Compared with the elegant and vigorous advance on the right-wing battlefield, Guo Mo, who was sniping from the front, was at the end of his rope.
After defeating most of Chen Deng's army one after another, Guo Mo's army was actually at the end of its war effort.
But who would have known that just when they were just one step away from a great victory, the enemy's reinforcements arrived, and they came to take over and attack him in turn.
In such a high-intensity battle, Guo Mo's casualties were increasing, but now the entire defense line was crumbling.
Even Guo Mo's eyes were red from the killing, and his arms could no longer lift the iron spear. But even so, he gritted his teeth and persisted until Zang Ba suddenly rushed in front of him.
Guo Mo knocked Zang Ba off his horse with just one blow, and then the soldiers beside Zang Ba fought back like crazy and saved Zang Ba to the back.
Guo Mo's warrior Gao Su had already been bleeding from his wrists, but when he saw the enemy general falling from his horse, he still rushed forward like crazy, but in the end, Zang Ba was rescued by the opponent.
Another brave general, Guo Mo's nephew Guo never resigned, and left the team directly. He was about to pursue him with a knife, but he was thrown to the ground by Zang Ba who had already woken up. Then he was hit by the Langya thief behind with a giant The ax smashed his head.
Seeing the tragic death of his nephew, Guo Mo, who had already spent a lot of money, screamed and then fell to the ground.
On the other side, Zang Ba, who had narrowly escaped, retreated into the formation and began to dispatch Langya soldiers to besiege Guo Mo's remaining troops.
At this time, the entire battlefield is becoming more and more chaotic because it is getting late, and there are more and more you among me, and I among you, the teeth of the dog are intertwined.
From time to time, someone would appear to be Paoze from a distance, but only to find out they were enemies face to face, and then there would be another burst of bloodshed.
After reaching this level of killing, both the Taishan Army, the Langya Army, and the Jianghuai Army have reached their limit, and they are all holding on to their last breath and struggling to survive.
It was only then that the fierce sound of horse hooves coming from the north and northeast broke the fierce battle.
At this time, both sides on the battlefield were expecting their own reinforcements to come this time.
As a result, two cavalry teams came.
One team came from the north, holding high the banner with the word "Guan"; the other team came from the northeast, holding high the banner with the word "Cao".
They came from two directions and saw each other.
But at this time, no one dared to move.
Until it gets darker and darker, and the sound of fighting becomes fainter and fainter.
The battle in the hills outside Mount Tai finally came to an end.
As a native of Jianghuai in a broad sense, my view of the people in my hometown is just like what I describe in my writing, which is just two words: "to make people angry".
To be angry, you can get into a fight over a disagreement, and to be angry, you can do anything without even thinking about it.
After all, as a place that has produced elite soldiers in the past, the people must be tough and brave. It seems that the background of living here is abuse and violence.
But only after leaving your hometown and returning home every time, you can feel that the roughness here is so vital. It is a reality that is more infectious and more representative of the face of life than all the refinements.
