Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 843
"fire!"

The night was getting thicker and darker, but in the mountains, layers upon layers of Shu troops kept coming out like ghosts and ghosts, and they rushed straight at Wang Hou in the light of the fire.

Fortunately, at this time, the light infantry and cavalry of the 4000-strong gunpowder unit of the rear army are no longer unprepared for defense. They also chose a gentle mountain to retreat there. The thick Wei army formed a long-range defense formation for firearms. This is not an encirclement Inside, the Shu army had no choice but to redeploy manpower to attack, which happened to be the target of the Wei army.

In front of the army formation, the logs that were hastily chopped down and tied together burned cracklingly, the fire illuminated the pitch-black night, and the red-eyed Shu army rushed over on the slope regardless of their care, watching them rush to the fire In the middle, the light infantry commanded General Zhonglang, and Jiang Fugui, Jiang Yiqu's grandson, suddenly let out an ugly roar.

Hundreds of tiger squatting cannons crackled like beans, and at the same time, thousands of double bows and crossbows were also fired out densely. Beside the fire, the black shadows of the Shu army groaned like Like being electrocuted, the body twisted violently twice unnaturally, and then rolled down the mountain, but also limp on the ground, turning into warm corpses one after another.

However, the Shu army obviously knew that the hillside guarded by this light infantry was the key to tonight's annihilation battle. The wooden shield, and even a few people held up the small wooden sign made of woven branches, and continued to charge forward.

Originally, the reloading of the tiger squatting gun was slower than that of the flintlock gun. Even if it was a strong crossbow, its penetration power was not as strong as that of a firearm. It was nailed to the wooden shield with a clatter. Wudang Flying Army braved the artillery fire and rushed to the front.

"Kill!"

With a buzzing sound, he pulled out the ring-head knife, grinning with Liaodong's standard expression, Jiang Fugui personally launched a charge, followed behind him, the soldiers in the front row gave up the tiger crouching cannon, and began to fight hand-to-hand with their knives. Amidst the sound, the front line was suddenly slashed into a mess again.

For night combat training, the Liangzhou Legion has to train once a night almost every week. In hand-to-hand combat, the elite infantrymen wearing mail armor and a small buckler on their left arm are obviously superior. Wang Hou saw it with his own eyes. One of the light infantrymen of one's own side dexterously dodged the knife that the Wudang Flying Army barbarian chopped down like a mountain top, and the sharp ring knife in his hand was gently raised upwards. Then, amidst his panic-stricken screams, he twirled and stumbled into the lit fire.

Immediately afterwards, there was another extremely shrill scream.

For a while, his subordinates were not at a disadvantage, but even so, Wang Hou was still worried, staring at the mountain road under his feet. Since half an hour ago, the screams and fighting sounds have become smaller and smaller, gradually returning to silence , Immediately the Shu army began to gather troops to attack itself.

Although it took more than an hour from afternoon to dusk, some of the subordinates still escaped from the south, but it was just a drop in the bucket. The silence on the battlefield meant only one thing, that is, the [-] subordinates of his former army had been established by Zhuge Liang. wiped out.

Not to mention his feelings for his own troops, but Wang Hou followed the elite soldier policy, and every elite subordinate was trained with almost the same weight of copper coins. This was enough to make Wang Hou tremble with heartache. In any case, his The Liangzhou Corps was disabled.

Now Wang Hou really had the urge to slap himself twice, and at the same time imitated Augustus and yelled at himself twice: Bastard!Return my army!
However, just as Wang Hou was feeling sour like vinegar-soaked peanuts, after the trough in the afternoon, the battle situation gradually turned to Wei Jun's side again, mobilizing troops in the dark night, even Zhuge Liang did it very reluctantly , can be mobilized to attack the Wei army outside the encirclement, the vitality is extremely limited, and in the burning of the battlefield, in the mountain road illuminated by the fierce fire, suddenly the extraordinarily rough roar sounded again, and the footsteps were heavy and dense. , Another team of Wei Jun carried the banner and rushed to the battlefield shouting.

It was the Liaodong Third Mixed Brigade that had been serving in Guanzhong right after the Liangzhou Corps set off. It was also the brigade general Wang Aobai who charged with his own sword. The battlefield on the hillside, beside the fire, also joined the hand-to-hand slash with extra viciousness.

Even if they were Sinicized, it didn't conceal the sturdy character of these Mohe people, especially after undergoing extraordinarily rigorous training. In terms of combat effectiveness, they far surpassed the Nanzhong Barbarians, the same safari people, especially those who entered the Liaodong Military Academy. After advanced studies, Wang Aobai, who replaced Wei Yan, was really a killing machine. He roared and swung a specially made heavy and lengthened ring-shouldered knife like the Liaodong Windmill Mill. The heavy blade, as long as you hit it, you will be fine. Wudang Feijun also had to lay down an arm and a thigh.

With the addition of this new force, the Shu army who had raided the slope obviously couldn't stand it anymore, leaving hundreds of corpses behind and hurriedly retreated into the dense forest.

The bloodiness of this day can be regarded as gradually dissipating into a peaceful and dead silence as the Shu army retreated.

In the dense forest at night, even though nearly [-] soldiers were still on the battlefield, Wang Hou sensibly did not order a counterattack, and stationed the remaining [-] Liangzhou Corps and the [-] mixed brigades that followed on the left and right hillsides. He was really beaten into a frightened bird. All night, he burned wood non-stop, lit a huge bonfire, and defended the left and right wings of his regiment.

That night, no one slept well, and in the dense forest to the south, the hustle and bustle of the Shu army lasted until the middle of the night, and then it became quiet. I don't know if Zhuge Liang is satisfied with today's victory.

And in the early morning of the next day, the morning light had just shone clearly in this mountain valley, and Wei Jun had already set foot on the road in a rage again.

This time, Wang Hou was very vigilant. With 500 light infantry, he also mobilized some specially trained leading soldiers with beacon fire. They are currently roaming and surveying on both sides of the army's marching road. They will take the lead in marching ten miles. Immediately lit the wolf smoke to warn the army behind.

In the rear, the Liaodong Cavalry Regiment, which had been commanded by Zhao Yun, also followed. The narrow mountain road could only be arranged in a row of four, and the whole army moved forward cautiously again.

Looking at the miserable appearance along the way, Wang Hou's old tears almost didn't flow down!
