…
"Pfft~"
"Xu~~"
The two armies were engaged in a brutal and fierce battle.
Yue Shaomu took the lead, and the moment he crossed paths with an enemy, he suddenly thrust out his spear, piercing the chest of the opposing Jin Army cavalry and knocking him off his horse.
"Bang~"
Immediately, the horse's pole moved horizontally, and the pole directly hit the other cavalry's internal organs and displaced them.
As they passed by Changsha, the cavalrymen of the Ruijian camp kept falling off their horses, swallowed by the darkness, and fell into eternal night.
"Die!"
Yang Yong shouted loudly, swung the long knife in his hand, and directly brought a shower of blood, and the armor on his body was soon dyed bright red.
Yue Shaomu and Yang Yong rushed left and right, taking the lead to tear a hole in the enemy's formation, allowing more cavalry with tall backs to file in behind them, and quickly penetrated the enemy's formation.
"Don't be presumptuous! Look at the hammer!"
Guertai was not an incompetent person. He knew that the cavalry on the opposite side had outstanding combat power. Stimulated by blood and death, the ferocity in his body boiled. When he charged with his horse, he directly knocked over the two high-backed cavalrymen and their horses with one hammer.
The general was so fierce, and the subordinates around him naturally had high morale, shouting and fighting with the Beiwei army.
The sound of trampling horses' hooves, the sound of bodies colliding, and the sound of ripping armor came one after another, creating a chapter of fighting under the dark night sky.
Cavalrymen on both sides continued to fall, but the gap was clear at a glance.
A back-wei bodyguard held two ring-headed knives. He turned a blind eye even as the swords flashed sparks on his armor. The sharp blade ruthlessly cut through the armor within sight, drawing out streams of surging blood.
Suddenly a tiger spear hit the chest, and the huge impact directly broke the head of the spear that touched the breastplate and the front end of the barrel.
The wrist of the cavalryman holding the gun was suddenly dislocated, and he screamed and fell off his horse. However, the cavalryman was also pushed into the ground, and his body was drowned by the sound of more iron hooves.
The same scene was repeated in other battlefields. The Han army's cavalry offensive was very simple, relying on heavy protective power to break through the enemy's formation. However, such an offensive could defeat all units that relied on the quality of individual soldiers.
"Yeah~~"
With a loud roar, Guertai rushed over on horseback, aiming the hammer in his hand at the head of a cavalryman with a backbone and smashing it down.
"Bang~"
At this moment, Yue Shaomu's Ma Shan blocked the fatal murderous intention for Beiwei's bodyguard.
Gu Ertai's mouth suddenly oozed blood, and he glared at Yue Shaomu. Just when he was about to lift the hammer to fight back, he suddenly felt pain in his chest, and then there was a harsh sound of metal tearing in his ears.
The next moment, he felt cold inside his body, and the chill became stronger and stronger, and finally it broke out of his body and penetrated from his back.
Immediately afterwards, Guertai's body was uncontrollably taken off the horse. The scenery in front of him flew upside down for about ten steps before he realized that he was about to die.
When Gu Ertai's body was smashed to the ground by Yue Shaomu, his consciousness was also annihilated and turned into a mummy...
An hour later, hundreds of remaining soldiers from the Ruijian Battalion knelt in front of Zhang Gui with Gu Ertai's body.
Watching this loyal subordinate die, Zhang Gui remained silent.
Suddenly, a wounded soldier cried and shouted: "General! Give the brothers a way to survive! Stop fighting!"
As soon as he roared, the other officers and soldiers also started crying: "General, stop fighting. If we continue to fight, all our brothers will be wiped out."
"General Zhang, Lieutenant General Gu died miserably! Please show mercy and give me a way to survive!"
The heart-rending pleas of the soldiers all hurt Zhang Gui's heart.
He knew that this battle had been lost and the morale of the Ruijian camp was gone!
Daikin, it’s over!
He let out a long sigh and said slowly: "Take General Guertai's body away. You guys, go down and have a rest. You can be at your disposal at any time."
After a day and night of attacks, the soldiers of Ruijian Battalion were almost completely killed and injured. The remaining less than 10,000 people had lost their courage and could no longer fight.
However, Zhang Gui did not show any dissatisfaction. It seemed that everything was as he expected.
Not long after, Fuying came to the army and saw the scene of a battalion full of wounded people. He immediately said to Zhang Gui: "Old General Zhang, the battle cannot be fought like this. The Ruijian Battalion is the most elite unit in Daikin. How can you follow the army like this?" The emperor will tell you."
The only person Zhang Gui could rely on in the court was the Ruijian camp.
Now that Ruijian camp suffered heavy casualties, Fuying naturally no longer had to look at Zhang Gui's face. He showed an expression of regret on the surface, but he was so excited in his heart.
Since Zhang Gui had caused so many casualties, Hong Lin would definitely not let him go. Even if he did not die, he would definitely withdraw from the court.
By that time, only the Fu family in the Dajin Army could speak.
Zhang Gui glanced at Fu Ying and said: "General Fu, please report to the court truthfully and say that I, Zhang Gui, am incompetent and have killed tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield. I shall be punished accordingly."
Fuying said hurriedly: "What did General Zhang say? Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists, why bother..."
Zhang Gui interrupted him and continued: "But before I die, I hope General Fu can personally deliver this handwritten letter to the emperor."
As he spoke, he took out a thick letter from his arms.
"Please be sure to report to your Majesty that the Han army has sharp weapons, its soldiers are brave enough to fight, and it is well-armed. All its generals are as good as ten.
Ruijianying cannot win yet, let alone the rest of Dajin's troops? If we, Dajin, do not want to suffer this humiliation in the future, we should follow the example of the Han Dynasty in training new soldiers and purchasing new firearms and weapons.
Establish a new navy, otherwise, within ten years, the countries in Nanyang will inevitably rely on the Han Dynasty to retaliate against our country, Dajin. This is Zhang Gui's last work, and I ask the emperor to think deeply about it. "
Fuying took the letter tremblingly, and seeing Zhang Gui's expression, she already knew what would happen next.
But he didn't stop him, he just sighed and walked out of the military camp.
"Somebody come!"
After Fuying left, Zhang Gui summoned another subordinate.
"What are your orders, General Zhang?"
"Keep this letter well. When the Han army marches north, be sure to find an opportunity to present it to General Yue in person!"
After Zhang Gui entrusted another letter to his confidant, he stared at the sword on the screen in trance...
…
The next day, the Han army camped.
After the last fierce battle yesterday, the two sides stopped attacking each other.
Yesterday's battle, more than half of the Beiwei army suffered casualties, and 200 of them stayed on this land forever.
The entire Han army's defense line was also seriously damaged at this time, and with the help of the people in Lucheng, they began to rebuild the defense line.
Yue Shaomu stood in front of the formation, looking towards the enemy camp, his eyes fixed on the opponent.
At this time, they had run out of ammunition and food, and many bayonets were broken during the fight. If the enemy attacked again at this time, Lucheng would be their end.
However, Yue Shaomu knew that the Jin army would not attack again.
The enemy suffered such heavy losses in yesterday's battle and lost all their energy. The Lucheng defense line has been held.
"Report~~"
Suddenly, Sun Zhong excitedly ran to the front of the formation and said to Yue Shaomu: "Let me inform General Yue that Lu Ziming's troops have returned, and the distance is less than twenty miles!"
Yue Shaomu closed his eyes, sighed heavily, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"We have won. After eight months of fighting in South Australia, we are finally going to win."
