Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 3567: When the army is defeated, the mountain is turned against the current

Shen Qingzhi gritted his teeth and patted his body, which was already in a state of dilapidation. Two large pieces of shoulder and arm armor had fallen off, and the entire piece of leather on his body was also cracked. Most of the fighters who climbed the ladder changed into light leather armor, and did not use a large shield. This equipment is no different from suicide when using this equipment to fight an armored cavalry."

Shen Tianzi said sternly: "At least we still have dozens of heavily armored sergeants here, and there are a lot of shields scattered on the ground. As long as we rush to the edge of those wooden armored organs and take advantage of the cover of these siege machines, Even if we all die in battle, as long as we can cover as many of our comrades as possible to withdraw from the long encirclement, it is worthwhile. When the battle is favorable, everyone wants to rush forward, but now the adversity is unfavorable. At this time, someone has to cut off the back cover, and sacrifice is inevitable. We usually receive the great kindness of the slave brother and the great Jin country. Now is the time to give up our lives to serve the country, Xang Er, if you don’t want to go, I won’t force you. , don't be afraid of death, come with me!"

As Shen Tianzi said that, he picked up the two big axes stuck on his back, and strode towards a wooden armoured manipulator who was about a hundred paces away from him.

And more than 30 sergeants in heavy armor also followed behind Shen Tianzi and ran forward. More than 100 sergeants in broken leather armor and short soldiers watched directly. Shen Qingzhi, these people are all subordinates of Xanthium. There were 500 people before the siege just now, but in an instant, there are only this number of people left. More than half of them have wounds on their feet. Even if they were still bleeding, it was too late to bandage them, and Shen Qingzhi's order would decide their life and death.

Shen Qingzhi gritted his teeth: "The third brother is right, everyone wants to run away at this time, but in the end, no one can escape, there is a distance of three miles from the city wall to the Changwei, and 20,000 to 30,000 people are crowded together to escape like this. If we trample the iron cavalry to death, even if we sacrifice, we can buy time for other comrades in arms. In front of the rushing iron cavalry, there is no big difference between armor and no armor, heavy armor or leather armor, as long as we make good use of the wooden armor mechanism People's cover may not be able to survive, I will not force you to go back to fight with me, if you want to fight, come with me, if you don't want to fight, go back, and collect the corpses for us after the fight!"

As he spoke, he picked up a short lance of more than three feet from the ground, and shouted: "Third brother, Xanthium is here." He ran forward, and all the sergeants behind him followed him and killed him. , and none of them ran in the direction of the long circle. There was a peculiar scene on the battlefield. Two or three thousand Jin troops were running backwards like a tidal wave. Only two or three hundred people, like a wave in the sea, went in the opposite direction with them and turned to face them. The more than 30 units in front of them, like the reefs in the turbulent waves, are approaching desperately.

On Wulong's mouth, the muscles on Tan Shao's face were beating gently. Beside him, more than a dozen military academies were all pale, and the five literati who had been writing fast and writing before, holding the pen His hands were shaking. After all, from attacking the top of the city, it was almost a victory, and the city collapsed in an instant. Tens of thousands of the most elite soldiers were buried under the ruins. This kind of visual impact and psychological impact The shock at the top even made Tan Shao, who had experienced hundreds of battles and climbed out of the pile of dead countless times, was speechless for a long time.

Tan Hezhi shook his head in disbelief and murmured, "How could this happen, how could this happen? Why did this indestructible city wall collapse in an instant? How many times we tried digging tunnels and burning wood to trap the wall without success. How did these Yan Jun do it?"

Tan Shao let out a long sigh and closed his eyes: "They didn't bury the pillars in the tunnel and burn them, but buried the pillars in the wall. Did you see the burnt wood? It turns out that the Yan army had already dug in the root of the city wall. Hundreds of holes in the wall were then supported on wooden pillars. Using the method of burning pillars, hundreds of wooden pillars were ignited at the same time, and the entire city wall collapsed in an instant. They even deliberately controlled the time and waited for the main force of our army. When attacking or approaching the city wall, the attacking troops within twenty steps are almost all crushed under the rocks!"

Tan Hezhi gritted his teeth: "I knew earlier that they should use a ram to attack the roots of their city walls, and these walls can be directly smashed through!"

Tan Shao shook his head gently: "We tried tunnel warfare before, but we couldn't dig it at all. Who would have thought that they would start digging the wall from the root of the city wall to trap the city, whether it's black robe or Murong Town, really? Ruthless man, not only our army's tens of thousands of soldiers, but also their own two or three thousand defenders at the head of the city have also given up, this time, I really have nothing to say."

Having said this, Tan Shao gritted his teeth: "But now is not the time to sigh, now our army is defeated like a mountain, the enemy's iron cavalry is about to rush out, and now our army is completely disorganized, almost all If you want to become someone's fish, no matter what, you have to block the enemy's iron cavalry charge as much as possible!"

Speaking of this, he said sharply: "The order, the cavalry sent by A Shou to support, a thousand people under Suo Miao are now lining up to fight against the enemy cavalry."

Tan Hezhi said urgently: "No way, Shao Shuai, now that our army has collapsed, and the cavalry of General Suo and his cavalry has been broken up, it is impossible to organize an effective counterattack. Moreover, their number is not enough, only more than a thousand people. There are tens of thousands of cavalry that can't stop the enemy army."

Tan Shao gritted his teeth: "Central Army Guards, come with me, and move the flag forward. At least I didn't cause chaos here. Now if no one else can stop the enemy's counterattack, we are the only ones."

A military official suddenly shouted: "Shao Shuai, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com You see, we have a small group of men and horses rushing forward, it seems that we are going to use the wooden armor to defend. The leader, the leader seems to be Shen. Tian Zi, General Shen."

Tan Shao's eyes widened, and he rushed forward with a stride. He fixed his eyes and muttered to himself, "It's Tian Zi, it's Tian Zi. At this time, it's Tian Zi who can save his life."

Tan Hezhi's voice was trembling: "But, but they are only two hundred people, no shields, no chariots, no horses, not even bows, what can they use to stop the enemy's thousands of horses?! "

Tan Shao gritted his teeth, grabbed the banner with the word "Tan" written on it from behind, and shouted, "We must not let our brothers sacrifice in vain and fight alone, all those who can hold weapons, join us. I'm here, beat the drum, go down the mountain, and attack the enemy!"

Tan Heyi pulled out his waist knife and followed behind Tan Shao, ready to run down, Tan Shao stretched out his left arm to block him, and said solemnly: "Hezhi, you stay here with the clerk, I If you can drag it in front of you, you can quickly organize and regroup your troops, and once you have formed a good formation, one team will be put back into the battlefield for me, and the enemy cavalry must never break through the West City!"
