Chapter Thirty-Two
Gradually, the two groups of people in Wagang were pressed together, and outside Yang Lin and Ding Yanping also completed the docking of forces, the siege composed of layers of shields began to shrink again, gradually forcing the people in Wagang towards the one who was besieging Luo Cheng and Jiang.
Because Qin Qiong and Zhang Gongjin were not familiar with the changes in the Long Snake Formation, and not all of the people they led were well-trained, some people rushed towards the shield out of fear, and for a while, there was a painful exchange of gold and armor.
The sound of wailing is endless.
"Cut their feet off!" Uncle Wang saw that the situation was critical and hurriedly ordered. Although Qin Qiong didn't understand what he meant, he had no other solution, so he had to give the order.
However, how could the outcome of the matter be as satisfactory as expected? The reason why Wang Bodang gave that order was because he heard Luo Cheng talk about the method of breaking the formation, but the core weapon of the method of breaking the formation mentioned by Luo Cheng was the spear.
The current Wagang soldiers have weapons of different lengths. In addition, most of them are new to the battlefield. When the military order is issued, the attention shifts from the people to the feet of the shield soldiers. Just because of a moment of distraction, countless people
His neck was cut off by the short blade in the hands of the shield soldiers on the opposite side! When some generals on horseback saw that this method was not effective, they stepped forward to rescue them. However, as hooks and locks were thrown out, another
Dozens of people were pulled off their horses, dragged into a shield siege and cut into pieces.
"There!" Xu Shiji pointed to the south and shouted towards Qin Qiong. That is where Luo Cheng is. Now that everyone has been out fighting for a long time, they also know that Luo Cheng is within those layers of fighting, but they don't know where Luo Cheng is at this time.
What is the situation inside?
"Break the formation first!"
Luo Cheng had long forgotten the loud killing sounds outside. At this moment, Luo Cheng could only see the command platform of the Long Snake Formation, which was very close at hand. The soldiers were marching in formation, ranging from tens of thousands to thousands. With such a huge number of people,
Whether it is a pursuit or a siege, it is impossible to mobilize just by the shouts of the people who set up the formation. There must be a place to command the entire army - the formation eye! Once the formation eye is breached, the entire army formation will be as if people have lost their eyes.
, even if the commander has outstanding abilities, it still takes a lot of time to adjust.
The four-legged high platform of the Big Dipper Snake Formation, because it is the starting point of the formation, is now unique in the formation where they are located. Just to prevent the enemy from climbing, there are no stairs on the high platform, and they are only placed when the formation is in operation.
The flag-carrying soldier hung down on it, but for the stability of the high platform, there must be reinforcements between the four feet. At this time, Luo Cheng was stepping on these reinforced crossbars and shot through the bottom of the high platform. Luo Fang and Xue Liang were shocked.
Jiang Song did not give up commanding the military formation temporarily. Jiang Song relied on the space under the high platform to clear the threats from all sides with ease. The wonderful use of the spear, in this small space, plus the crossbar blocking the encirclement of soldiers, was more effective than any other.
Long heavy weapons!
On the high platform, Luo Fang and Xue Liang, who were originally trying to adjust the military formation, had no place to stay as the wooden planks under their feet were being peeled off. They could only go down to fight for their lives, but they were not Luo Cheng and Jiang at all.
Song Song's opponent, who could not compete with Sanhe, was killed on the spot. Yang Lin, who was so shocked that he could only order in pain from a distance: "Go forward at full speed!"
Although Yang Lin was far away, he saw what happened on the high platform. But at this time, he had to order the soldiers to shrink faster, just because he had no time to save his two adopted sons! Nor could he save himself.
Yang Lin raised his right hand to his shoulder and slashed forward. The flag-bearing soldier behind him immediately passed the order back. But without the command of the formation eye, this kind of military order must be spread throughout the army.
It must have taken a long time, and during this period of time, the people in Wagang had broken through the inner shield and joined forces with Luo Cheng and Jiang Song. Although the imperial troops and horses in the inner circle were scattered due to improper command, it seemed that the outer circle was again
A new encirclement situation was re-formed. However, there were two encirclement circles before, but this time there was only one. And this encirclement circle, after Yang Lin and Ding Yanping merged, the formation slowly shrank, so Qin Qiong and others
Looking at the layers of each unit, it seemed that the situation was forming for them to break into the formation for the first time.
"Director Xu, what should we do? If we wait any longer, we will be surrounded to death!" Seeing the encirclement getting smaller and smaller, Cheng Yaojin was the first to lose his composure.
"Stop arguing!" Xu Shiji was not anxious, but what was the point of being anxious? The place where Yang Lin and Ding Yanping were at this time was exactly where the Wagang City Gate was. If he wanted to fight his way back to Wagang, he had to face these two people head-on. But
If they abandon the city and go elsewhere, then this rally will be equivalent to losing its foundation. With the court issuing a wanted order, although everyone in the Eighteen Villages may not be arrested, it will be even more difficult for them to succeed again.
Boom boom boom! Just when Xu Shiji was thinking about advancing or retreating, loud noises came from behind Yang Lin. Ding Yanping, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, knew it was the sound of the city gate being opened. At this time, Wagang opened the city gate.
, it is very likely that the people in the city saw that the situation was not good and opened the door to surrender. Of course, it was not only Ding Yanping who had this idea, but also Xu Shiji, Qin Qiong and others, when they heard the sound of the city gate opening, they felt like
The feeling of falling into an ice cave.
A man deserves to be born worthy of heaven and earth, so what if he dies in battle? But being betrayed to death is so humiliating! At this time, Qin Qiong finally understood the feeling of his father Qin Yi when the army was defeated and the city was destroyed.
However, when the city gate opened, only one figure appeared. The figure let out a roar, and then saw a giant object being thrown out quickly. Wherever the giant object went, people fell on their backs, and the sound of cracking bones could be heard. The sound of cracking bones was heard all the time.
The sound of heaven and earth shaking was enough to make those who heard it tremble with fear. When Yang Lin and others saw clearly what it was, everyone was stunned, for no other reason than that it was actually a tree about four feet long.
10 feet, iron-clad door bolts on all sides!
"Judging from the sound of the bolts falling to the ground, this door weighs at least four to five hundred pounds!" Ding Yanping shuddered just thinking about it.
"Brother! Shixin is here!"
At the Wagang City Gate, as soon as Yang Lin and others reacted, Luo Shixin had already rushed out holding another door bolt, and then threw the bolt forward fiercely, heading straight for Yang Lin.
Even though Yang Lin had experienced many battles, he was a little frightened when faced with such a heavy object. However, the bolt wood was already in front of him and he was unable to resist, so he could only dodge sideways. But after dodging, he heard the sound of cracking bones.
When the sound rang, Yang Lin also immediately
His body swayed and he fell. However, when the bolt tree flew behind him, it was already at the end of its momentum. When it was about to fall, it hit the rear hip of Yang Lin's mount. The mount could not bear the weight of the bolt wood and was immediately crushed.
The horse's legs and Yang Lin naturally fell.
"Brothers! Fight back to the stronghold!" Seeing this opportunity, Qin Qiong immediately shouted and led the crowd straight to the city gate to kill the general.
"Old boy, don't run!" Luo Shixin roared at the city gate. He broke through the soldiers' obstruction with the door bolt and ran straight to Yang Lin. He saw that the door bolt was about to fall on Yang Lin's head.
"Shixin, stop!" Qin Qiong rushed over and shouted loudly in time to stop him. Yang Lin, who was already waiting for death, turned his head to look at him in shock.
"Brother, he is a bad guy!" Luo Shixin held up the door bolt and landed on Yang Lin's head, but fortunately he did not smash it down.
"Shixin, come back with me!" Qin Qiong didn't say much, just ordered. No matter how unwilling Luo Shixin was, he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to turn around and leave.
"The thieves should leave!"
Because Yang Lin was attacked, the imperial army and horses were in chaos for a while. Fortunately, Ding Yanping had been on the battlefield for a long time. Seeing that everyone in Wagang was about to retreat from the city, he immediately led his troops to rush over, intending to cut the Wagang army into two sections and stop them.
He returned to the city. However, although everyone in Wagang was eager to retreat to the city,
, but the retreat was not completely unorganized. Xu Shiji had arranged it in an orderly manner. In addition to Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Shan Xiongxin who took the lead in the charge, there were also Wang Bodang, Zhang Gongjin, and You Junda in the middle to provide support. At this moment, Ding Yanping
What Feng faced was Luo Cheng and Jiang Song, who were responsible for cutting off the rear.
"Who are you?" After several fights, Ding Yanping was also forced off his horse by the two men. Shocked by the opponent's proficiency in marksmanship, Ding Yanping asked. However, no one spoke to the two people opposite. First, Luo Cheng was afraid.
He was exposed because of his voice. Secondly, Ding Yanping was Luo Cheng's adoptive father. Jiang Song didn't know how to deal with it for a while. It wasn't until everyone in Wagang was about to retreat into the city that Jiang Song saw that Ding Yanping was still entangled, so he had to make a decision.
Decide.
"I'll do it!" Jiang Song rushed out and aimed a shot at Ding Yanping, which made Ding Yanping feel happy. Before, he was fighting two people alone and could not show the power of his two guns. Now facing one person, he has
Defeat your opponent with absolute certainty.
However, as soon as he took action, he saw that the other party only responded with a call and a shock, and the spear was pierced directly into his lower abdomen. Fortunately, the other party did not kill him, but immediately put the gun away after injuring his flesh.
Only then could he save his life.
"He actually knows how to break the double spear!" Ding Yanping was still frightened, but he could only cover the wound and watch the other person retreat.
——-——
"Wentong, what are the casualties of our army?"
Yang Lin at the foot of the city looked at his generals with anguish in his heart. Thinking back to many years of military service, his Beidou Long Snake Formation had gone through countless battles and was always invincible. However, he did not expect that now it would turn over in a small village.
How willing he was to break the boat!
"Reporting to my adoptive father, our army did not suffer many casualties, half of them were wounded, but..." Wei Wentong looked at the vicissitudes of Yang Lin, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"What's wrong?" Yang Lin looked up at Wei Wentong and realized that there seemed to be a few less familiar figures around him.
"Reporting to my adoptive father, my eldest brother, my second brother, my eighth brother, and the eleventh brother were killed in battle, General Ding was injured, and more than half of the entire army was wounded. Moreover, when the two armies were fighting, the enemy sent a group of people to surprise our rear camp, and the food and grass were destroyed.
destroy!"
"Pfft!" Yang Lin couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. The only remaining thirteen Taibos of the Yang family actually lost four more in this battle! How could he not feel heartbroken? What was even more heartbreaking was that,
We paid such a heavy price for this battle, but we still lost!
According to his prediction, although there were some casualties on his side, the losses in Wagang Village were not much better. As long as the team could be reorganized, with the numerical advantage and the guarantee from the rear, he could still encircle Wagang Village again.
.But now that our own food and grass have been destroyed, the advantage in numbers has become a disadvantage. With the consumption of soldiers and wounded, let alone another siege of Wagang, I am afraid that we will not be able to last for three days!
Chapter completed!
