The essence of Qiu Fu's marksmanship is to lead the attack while defending. He was impatient at the moment and looked sharp when he fired his gun, but in fact he had lost the essence of his marksmanship.
Zhao Tianlin, a veteran on the battlefield, has been fighting for half his life. He may be intimidated by Qiu Fu's fierce offensive at first, but as time goes by, he will naturally be able to see that Qiu Fu's spear skills are nothing more than appearances.
Qiu Fu's marksmanship was like a snake coming out of its hole, provoking its head, but Zhao Tianlin suddenly gathered his strength and used his sword, slashing the snake within seven inches.
The force of the knife was like a turbulent wave, unstoppable. This knife completely blocked the way forward for Qiu Fu's marksmanship. The snake was beaten seven inches, and was in a dilemma.
Qiu Fu was not a master of adaptability, but his bravery was better than chance.
Zhao Tianlin's sudden change of sword made it difficult for him to parry, and he could only roll on the spot, narrowly avoiding the sword.
But Qiu Fu's right arm was still scratched by Zhao Tianlin's sword energy, and the arm armor was broken and dripping with blood.
If Qiu Fu had hesitated just a moment longer, his arm might have been separated from the person.
He was injured by the sharp sword energy, but Qiu Fu didn't even have the energy to cry out in pain now. There were only more than a thousand soldiers and horses from the Yongguo Camp left around him. Behind them were the flames that were burning more and more intensely. Their bodies In front are the elite soldiers of the Guards Battalion of the Longwu Army.
The reinforcements on the hill were blocked by crossbows, and only two or three of the ten people survived. As the fire grew stronger, their support would become even more difficult. The speed of support could not keep up with the speed of death of the soldiers around Qiu Fu.
The scope of activities of Qiu Fu's troops has been reduced to a very small area by the more than 7,000 troops of the Longwu Army. It seems that it is only a matter of time before they are annihilated.
Zhao Tianlin still felt that it was not enough, so he decided to add fuel to the fire on this basis.
"Brothers opposite, I am Zhao Tianlin, the deputy commander of the Longwu Army. You should have heard of me! I, Zhao Tianlin, joined the army as a young man and followed Taizu, King Kaiping and King Zhongshan in the north and south. I also have a somewhat unworthy reputation. I know, None of you are the main culprits of King Zhao's rebellion. You are just in the land of Yanyou, and you have no choice but to rebel. This governor is not a ruthless person. I assure you here that as long as you put down your weapons, the court will only punish the first culprit. We will not pursue your treasonous crimes!"
In the current situation, Zhao Tianlin doesn't think these soldiers of King Zhao's army still have much fighting will. As long as they use the right methods to persuade them to surrender, not to mention asking all the soldiers to put down their weapons, it is still easy to break the opponent's determination to fight to the death. .
Sure enough, after Zhao Tianlin's shouting, some movements appeared in the remaining Yongguo camp.
The Yongguo Camp was formed by warriors who gave birth to girls. This was something Zhao Tianlin did not expect, but precisely because of this, this group of people was not so loyal to King Zhao.
It was only because King Zhao defeated the Jurchens and gathered the Jurchen tribe that they served under King Zhao.
These people attach importance to profit but despise righteousness, fear power but not morality. For these girls, it is natural to pay for work, but now that other people can offer higher prices, they are naturally willing to do things for others.
Although Zhao Tianlin did not give them more military pay or better treatment, he made an offer that they could not refuse at this stage - to live.
For these girls, nothing is more important than living.
Now that Zhao Tianlin has made a condition that he will no longer pursue the case, and he made it under desperate circumstances, this will make people think about it.
If Zhao Tianlin said something like this before the two armies faced each other, then the soldiers of Yongguo Camp would not care about what you said at all.
But it was different now. They were in a desperate situation. There were thousands of elite soldiers of the Longwu Army in front of them, and there were raging fires and hills blocking the road behind them.
It is really rare to have a way out in this situation.
Many Yongguo soldiers are already considering whether to surrender to ensure their own survival.
Qiu Fu was anxious after listening to Zhao Tianlin's words. He knew the composition of the Yongguo camp better than Zhao Tianlin. These real women were barbarians. Although they were brave and good at fighting, they were not as loyal as the soldiers and horses of King Zhao's army.
Being in a new place, Qiu Fu felt that he wanted to surrender, let alone these Jurchens? !
Zhao Tianlin must not be allowed to continue to confuse the public with his evil words, otherwise he will have no way out.
"Brothers, don't listen to these demonic words to confuse the public. We have killed so many soldiers of the Confederate Army, and our hands are already stained with the blood of the Confederate Army. How can the Confederate Army let us go!? The only way to survive is to fight to the death. Ours There are 200,000 troops on the outside. As long as the inside and outside cooperate, the Confederate army will be defeated! Brothers, follow me and kill!"
After saying that, Qiu Fu held up his iron spear and charged towards Zhao Tianlin.
Originally, the soldiers of Yongguo Camp were still thinking about how to surrender, but now the general rushed forward with a spear in hand. When they saw this, their blood boiled up and they all jumped up!
They are originally brave people with simple minds. To put it bluntly, they have strong muscles but no brains.
Now the general was encouraged and took the lead in the charge. They were all so excited that they could not help themselves, waving their swords and charging at the Longwu Army.
Carrying blazing fire, rushing towards an enemy army several times larger than yourself, this scene is quite tragic!
…
——
While the fierce fighting continued inside Longwu Military Camp, the outside of Longwu Military Camp became a flesh and blood mill.
Wang Cong, the temporary commander of King Zhao's army, knew that Qiu Fu's troops had attacked Zhao Tianlin's troops from the rear as planned, but that direction was a hill and it would be difficult for the cavalry of King Zhao's army to deploy. If there was no support and response for a long time, the battle situation would be unfavorable. . Even if he could not defeat the Long Wu Army in a short period of time, he should still send troops and horses to respond to Qiu Fu.
Thinking of this, under the command of Wang Cong, the offensive of King Zhao's army became more fierce.
At the same time, Wang Cong also sent an elite force to break in from the northwest corner, where the defense was currently weak, and attack in the direction of the sounding arrow, hoping to get in touch with Qiu Fu's department.
It's just that the current defensive blockade of the Longwu Army is also extremely tenacious. It seems that they don't consider whether they can continue fighting tomorrow and continue to hedge against the elites of King Zhao's army.
The two sides fought until the sky was dark and blood flowed like rivers.
The bright red blood formed bloody streams on the land of Sanjin, seeping into the sand.
The offensive of King Zhao's army became more and more fierce, while Long Wu's army began to slowly retreat.
After all, Zhao Wu is not a veteran like Zhao Tianlin. This Longwu army can be used like a finger in Zhao Tianlin's hands. Relying on the favorable location of the camp, it can easily withstand the attack of King Zhao's army, which is twice his own, making it difficult for Wang Cong to cross the thunder pool.
But Zhao Wu couldn't do this.
The seemingly simple battle formation command requires not only familiarity with the art of war, but also rich battle formation experience.
Zhao Tianlin went through four dynasties, conquered the south and the north, and it can be said that he fought for most of his life. The ordinary battle formation command has been engraved in Zhao Tianlin's bones. Although the judgment of the battle situation cannot be as accurate and without deviation as that of Yang Qingyuan who has a plug-in, there is no fallacy on the whole.
Therefore, in his hands, Wang Congkong had a military advantage but could not make full use of it, and could not get any advantage.
But Zhao Wu was different. Although he was also from the orthodox Sixth Army, he had only been a Zhonglang General for a few years. Although he was later promoted due to military merit and led an army of his own, he was still a little immature in command.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was still in a relatively peaceful and tranquil state on the whole. Although there were occasional frictions at the border, there were not many real large-scale wars.
Only twice in five years.
One was the Battle of the North launched by the Seven Princes and the Four Khanates, and the other was when Hou Jin was defeated from invasion to the destruction of the country.
Zhao Wu only participated in the Jinyang defense battle and did not have rich battlefield experience. It was not easy to achieve this step.
And he didn't show off. After a short battle, Zhao Wu had realized that the enemy general was experienced in using troops and he was no match for him, so he chose to actively abandon some of the peripheral positions he had occupied during the counterattack and set fire to some of them. Camps concentrate most of the troops at important nodes.
As a result, the points he needs to defend are greatly reduced compared to the original, and the power of defense is more powerful.
Wang Cong, who was facing Zhao Wu, also noticed the ambiguity in the opponent's general's mobilization of troops and defense arrangements. Zhao Tianlin was not in command now.
This greatly increased Wang Cong's confidence, and he once again waved his troops to attack.
The situation between the two sides is now at the final moment of balance. If Wang Cong can penetrate the Longwu Army's camp first and join Qiu Fu, he will be able to cooperate inside and outside, blossom in the center, and instantly disrupt the Longwu Army's formation. At that time, the Longwu Army Just a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
If Wang Cong was blocked by Zhao Wu and unable to join forces to attack the Longwu Army's rear camp, then today's war would have to end there.
At this moment, Wang Cong didn't know that Qiu Fu, as the commander of the army, dared to risk his own life and sneak into the enemy's hinterland. If he knew, he would definitely attack the Longwu Army at all costs.
But unfortunately, he didn't know that Qiu Fu didn't carry a commander's flag, and the signal arrow couldn't convey such a complicated message.
The information gap meant that Wang Cong didn't know what was going on inside, so he still chose the safest way to attack.
Stability was originally Wang Cong's biggest advantage in using troops, but now it is his biggest disadvantage.
…
In the rear of the Longwu Army, the soldiers around Qiu Fu already had 300 infantry, and 500 strong crossbowmen were holding on to the top of the hill. The continuous arrows kept the Zhao Wang rebels climbing up the hill at bay. There is no place for a cone to stand on it.
Qiu Fu's left arm, which had just been stabbed, was simply bandaged with a cloth strip, but it could not completely stop the bleeding. The intense battle between him and Zhao Tianlin caused the blood to slowly seep out from the cloth strip.
Zhao Tianlin and Qiu Fu each stood holding swords and guns, both breathing heavily.
Although Qiu Fu is a master of the Yuanhua Realm, his blood is constantly being lost. If he is a master who is good at acupuncture in the world, this is not a problem at all. He can easily stop the bleeding with just acupoints.
But Qiu Fu is a master in the military, and the martial arts he practices are all about killing enemies on the battlefield. The martial arts of tapping acupuncture points will not be of much use on the battlefield. The military doctor accompanying the team might be able to do it, but Qiu Fu definitely couldn't. The loss of blood made Qiu Fu feel like he was running out of energy.
Zhao Tianlin is old. Although he has no external injuries or bleeding, at his age, his energy and blood have already begun to wither. There is not much difference in a short-term battle, but over time, his energy will be difficult to sustain. .
The two of them are in the same state now.
"Are you going to die with Qiu Fu?! Now put down your weapons and surrender to avoid death!? If you continue to fight against the trapped beast, you will have no choice but to be buried with Qiu Fu!"
At this moment, the remaining people in the Yongguo camp had almost given up hope. Now that Zhao Tianlin once again offered to surrender to avoid death, it was even more irresistible.
This is a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation. How can these Jurchens give up? !
After a brief hesitation, the first steel knife was thrown to the ground.
"Bang!"
"jingle!"
"when!"
More and more weapons fell to the ground and collided with him. Among the remaining three hundred people, more than two hundred people put down their weapons and chose to surrender.
Even if Qiu Fu glared at everyone, he could not change this result at all.
People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team.
He originally wanted to kill people to establish his authority and prevent the troops from surrendering, but the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in Zhao Tianlin's hand intentionally or unintentionally locked Qiu Fu, making him dare not act rashly.
If he really dared to reveal his flaws in order to kill a surrendered soldier, in the next moment, Zhao Tianlin's sword would strike at his head with the force of wind and thunder.
When all those who surrendered put down their weapons and squatted aside with their heads in their hands, there were only eighty-three people left beside Qiu Fu.
There were only about a dozen Jurchens among them, and the rest were Qiu Fu's personal guards.
Qiu Fu clenched the spear in his hand. He hesitated in his heart. He knew that he could survive if he surrendered.
But his dignity and pride, as well as the trust of King Zhao Zhu Kai, and the kindness of knowing him, did not allow him to do this.
His battle has come to an end!
"Zhao Tianlin, do you dare to fight me alone?!" The iron spear in Qiu Fu's hand was pointed directly at Zhao Tianlin.
Zhao Tianlin was stunned when he heard this, then laughed and said, "General Qiu, are you not clear-headed? I have been fighting with you until now, but can someone help me!?"
Qiu Fu was also stunned, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have asked another stupid question before he died.
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword in Zhao Tianlin's hand made a soft sound. The sword had sensed the murderous intention of its owner and was eager to drink the blood of the bandit leader.
"Qiu Fu, I will give you one last chance. Now put down your arms, surrender, and accept the court's trial. I will protect you from death!"
Qiu Fu's fingers holding the spear began to turn white due to excessive force and excessive blood loss.
"Stop talking nonsense, we don't know until the end whether you will die or I will die!"
Zhao Tianlin also knew that Qiu Fu could not surrender.
"In that case, let me give you a ride myself!"
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword is full of true energy. This spear weighing 108 kilograms moves like flying in Zhao Tianlin's hands. The green dragon on the sword seems to be soaring into the sky.
Zhao Tianlin's swordsmanship once again changed to the Spring and Autumn swordsmanship when the two of them just fought. He was gathering momentum and energy while drawing out and retracting his sword.
Swords and guns exchanged hundreds of times, Zhao Tianlin kept stepping forward, and Qiu Fu retreated steadily.
In an instant, Qiu Fu felt as if the wind had stopped. The slightly squinted eyes of Zhao Tianlin in front of him suddenly opened. There seemed to be a shadow behind him, with a beautiful beard and a face as heavy as a jujube, holding a long knife.
This sword has the power of a thousand feet, and it moves suddenly.
The cold light flashed, and the gun was shot to death!
The arrogant enemy will eventually become ashes! (End of chapter)
