Boom~~
The moment the blazing grenade hit the ground, it exploded instantly. The broken shrapnel scattered and fell on the golden soldier, causing a cloud of blood mist to rise immediately.
From morning to evening, the soldiers of Ruijian Battalion braved the artillery fire of the Han army and rushed towards death. Even though they knew that this was a road of no return, they still used their lives to complete a soldier's last mission.
"Brothers, fight them!"
"Kill~"
With a roar, a Jinbing officer took the lead and led the remaining soldiers to rush towards the Han army's defense line, which was close at hand.
This is the closest distance to the enemy today.
However, the dense line of defense formed by barbed wire left him unable to use all his blood and courage.
"Hey~"
He slashed hard at the thorny iron net in front of him, but it was of no use.
The toughness of the iron net removes the power of the blade, and everything it does is useless.
"Puff, puff—"
Suddenly, two bayonets pierced his body. The sharp square pyramid easily broke through the two layers of armor on his body. After the cold sharp blade stirred inside his body, the blood in his body suddenly became bone-chillingly cold.
In the end, he fell straight in front of the Han army's fortifications.
As night falls, the roaring artillery fire gradually subsides, and the noisy battlefield returns to tranquility.
Inside the Jinbing camp, there were moaning and neighing sounds like slaughtering pigs everywhere, and blood was all over the ground, which was shocking to watch.
Gu Ertai couldn't help but twitching. In today's battle, Ruijian camp suffered more than 13,000 casualties.
However, this is not what makes him feel uncomfortable. What is really chilling is that Fuying's 150,000-strong army actually stood still and watched helplessly as the soldiers of Ruijian Battalion went forward to die one by one?
Thinking of this, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he got up and went to Fuying to argue.
"What are you doing!"
Zhang Gui stopped him and said.
Guertai: "Why do those sons of bitches just watch us die!? I want to argue with them!"
"You're not allowed to go!" Zhang Gui said, "The more times like this, the less likely you are to be in disarray. I don't believe Fuying and the others won't feel threatened."
Guertai: "What should we do now?"
Zhang Gui: "Our army is exhausted after fighting fiercely all day, but the Han army is even more exhausted. We should take advantage of this opportunity to attack Lu City in one go!"
"What!? You still want to go!" Gu Ertai opened his eyes wide, "General, are you really planning to kill all your brothers!"
Zhang Gui: "The compensation for the fallen brothers will be paid by someone. What we should do is to fulfill the last duty of a soldier!"
Guertai was silent.
Zhang Gui: "Okay, hurry up and prepare. In an hour, when it gets darker, we will launch the attack."
Suddenly Guertai said: "In that case, General, please allow me to serve as the vanguard of the night attack!"
Zhang Gui was stunned and turned his back to Gu Ertai: "As a deputy general, how can you..."
"General, there is no need to say more. Guertai and the soldiers of Ruijian camp live together day and night. Since I am going to die, how can I be alone? Please help me, general!"
Gu Ertai's tone was decisive, and it was obvious that no amount of persuasion would be of any use.
Zhang Gui was silent for a while and said: "Okay, you go first, and I will meet you in Huangquan later!"
Gu Ertai immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to Zhang Gui, then stood up and left.
On the other side of Fuying's camp, Fuying was holding a roasted lamb leg and devouring it, his mouth full of oil.
The other generals in the tent were also eating and drinking, which was in sharp contrast to the sad atmosphere of Ruijian Camp.
After a long time, a military general said: "General Fu, are we really going to sit back and watch? General Zhang's Ruijian Battalion suffered heavy casualties today. I heard that there will be a night attack. Do we really not send several battalions of soldiers and horses to support it?"
Fu Ying bit off a piece of mutton, chewed it for a while and said: "Zhang Gui's move is just to claim credit in front of the emperor. If we go, what else can we do besides losing troops and horses in vain?"
Military General: "But if the Emperor investigates and punishes us for disrespecting orders, then..."
"What are you afraid of!" Fuying rolled his eyes at him, "To tell you the truth, news has already come from the capital. The emperor has long wanted to negotiate peace with Dongyi. It doesn't matter whether this battle is won or lost. Why add more casualties? "
"Is what the general said true?"
"Of course it's true. This siege of Lucheng is just to gain more leverage at the negotiation table. Why should I lose the lives of soldiers in vain? Wait for a few more days, and when the peace documents from the court are issued, we can all return to the capital to receive the reward. .”
The generals were suddenly enlightened when they heard this, and immediately shouted "Fu General Benevolence and Righteousness".
Fuying drank a bowl of wine, and then said: "Let the soldiers guard the gates of each camp at night, and don't let the young people take advantage of it. After this period of time, everyone can go home safely and reunite with their families." !”
…
As the night deepened, at the Han army's camp, Yue Shaomu asked soldiers at all levels to check the ammunition they carried.
According to statistics, today's fierce battle has exhausted almost all the rifle ammunition in the army, and the artillery has basically failed due to its reduced accuracy at night and the inability of the remaining ammunition to cover the radius of the battlefield.
In other words, the next war will be the most cruel cold weapon war, and this is when the willpower will really compete.
"The golden soldiers will attack tonight. Let the soldiers prepare for hand-to-hand combat."
Yue Shaomu ordered.
"General Yue!"
Sun Zhong suddenly said: "Is it really necessary to fight to the death with the Jin soldiers? Now that the strategic goal has been achieved, it is only a matter of time before the Jin soldiers seek peace.
It is better to lead the troops to withdraw from Lu City and find suitable terrain to deal with the enemy until the last moment! "
Yue Shaomu: "The battle in Lucheng is of great importance. If we defend it, our big man will have an advantage at the negotiating table with Jin. If we lose it, it will be equivalent to losing a bargaining chip.
Wasn't that a tough battle that our Han army fought on the day it formed an army? Even the Hunu outside the Great Wall are no match for us. Is the enemy in front of us more terrifying than the alien cavalry outside the Great Wall? "
Sun Zhong lowered his head in shame.
Yue Shaomu: "Remember your identity and the name of the Han army!"
Then he came to the troops and shouted loudly: "Han soldiers! Now that we have run out of ammunition and food, the enemy will not back down.
Now, I just want to ask you, at this time, is anyone planning to back down? "
"Fight to the death and never retreat!"
"The Han army is mighty!"
"Fight to the death and never retreat!"
In an instant, the mountains roared and the tsunami roared, the sound was overwhelming.
Yue Shaomu nodded happily, and then pointed to the Han flag behind him: "Tell me why our Han army is invincible!"
"Mountains can be pulled up, thousands of currents can be cut off, but I, a bloody man, can never be shaken!"
The shocking slogans, the tragic atmosphere exaggerated, this situation and this scene are the invincibility of the Han army and the courage to rival the world.
With such a strong army, why fear thousands of enemies!
Fight or fight! Even if you are in a desperate situation, you must use your steel body to fight your way out!
…
On the other side, Lu Ziming's troops were speeding up and approaching Lucheng.
"General Yue, hold on! Ziming is here!"
