Chapter 389 The decisive battle begins
In the spring of the seventh year of Wuping, Northern Qi Dynasty, since the Southern Dynasty attacked Huainan at the end of the sixth year, the Southern Dynasty has been fighting against the Huainan army. Now, Wang Lin is finally about to usher in the first node of the reversal of the entire war...
The sun sets in the west, and the sun has only the last ray of light left. The sky and the earth have dimmed at the same time. There is no longer a place for Chen Jun to stand on the north bank of the pool.
Wang Lin did not stop there. He ordered the soldiers of the three armies to cross the river to the south overnight.
On the north bank of the pool, the sound of horses neighing. Between the mountains and mudflats, you can see a little ignition burning faintly. Only the sound of the army marching in the dark night can be heard.
Wang Lin leaned against the saddle and looked at the map. His eyes were squinting from time to time, "Crossing the river, there is another distance to Jiashan. Xiao Maha was defeated all the way, and it was already the last of his strength. We will take this opportunity to seize Jiashan."
Judging from the map situation, the location of Jiashan is very important. To the north is Zhongli, to the west are Jiyin County and Xuyi, and to the southeast is Shiliang City, which is besieged by the Chen army. Jiashan is just in the center. This is the best place in the entire Chihe River Basin. Whether it is Wang Lin or Wu Mingche, if you want to fight a decisive battle here, Jiashan is a thorn in both sides, and the flesh is thorn in the flesh, so you must pull it out.
Of course, Jiashan is just a general term. In fact, in addition to Jiashan, there are Hengshan, Tuanshan, Zhaishan, Daishan, and Lushan... There are no less than 300 hills with names and surnames, but Jiashan is the most prominent. The mountains here are tilted from southeast to northwest, with undulating hills and continuous mountains. It is a large and prosperous place.
From then on, the Chi River flowed in from the foot of the mountain, flowing through several large lakes, and finally converged with the Huai River from Xuyi. It can be said that the Chi Water is like a link, connecting important towns such as Zhongli and Xuyi.
Then, if you can control Jiashan, which is upstream of the pool, you must attract Wang Lin's attention.
Taking it off and retreating can cover the pool water basin, and advancing can turn into a sharp blade that kills the dragon at critical moments.
The Huainan chess game is about to die, and there are not many places left for Wang Lin to move. Wang Lin only needs to nail the chess piece to death here, and half of the entire battle situation will survive... It is better to take this place as soon as possible!
Wu Mingche is in Shiliang City, but Zhu Hun Daoyu's strength is not enough to last for too long. Although Xiao Mohe was defeated, Chen's combat effectiveness is still very considerable...
He could not imagine what it would be like when Wu Mingche brought troops north and he didn't have a decent trump card in his hand... He had no time to wait or hesitate at all. If he wins, he will live, and if he loses, he will die!
Not only Wang Lin reacted quickly, after Xiao Maha crossed the river and returned to Jiashan, he also issued several orders in succession. One was to order his subordinates to gather again, organize the chaotic scattered soldiers, and restore the original combat order. The other was to let someone go south quickly to report the distress signal to Wu Mingche, informing him that Wang Lin had already left the nest and the decisive battle was right in front of him! At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to step up the construction of camps and city defense.
The camp was less than halfway through the construction. When the morning approached, Xiao Moha heard the report that most of the Qi army had crossed the pool water and set up camp five miles northwest of Jiashan. Then another scout came to report that after a Northern Qi army crossed the pool water, he kept heading straight for the Chen army camp... It was heard that the needles fell in the tent, and everyone's faces were pale and serious.
"It's so fast?" Xiao Mohe murmured to himself.
Wang Lin doesn’t want to give her any way out, right?
He put on his helmet, strided out of the camp, and went straight to a tower.
Under the hazy skylight, countless Qi troops were laid out in their sight layer by layer.
"It turns out that Wang Lin was still holding back before and was waiting for this moment."
Not to mention Xiao Maha, even Wu Mingche did not expect that the Northern Expedition, which was almost certain to be sure, would have taken such a turning point.
The Wang Lin, who had been underestimating and ridiculed by them, had been waiting for Shouyang to lick her wounds and accumulate strength. She only waited for the Southern Dynasty army to penetrate deeper and gained a foothold before she could stand firm.
Now that this knife is about to fall, where will the next knife be slashed?
Xiao Maha didn't have time to think about it. The Qi army had formed an attack array, and the layers of soldiers were advancing in an orderly manner, causing a huge psychological pressure and visual impact. They seemed to be integrated with the shadow of the mountains, and the earth shook when they were in action.
The soldiers on the watchtower began to tremble with their bows. No matter how well-trained they were, they were always instinctively afraid when facing this situation. It had nothing to do with whether you were a veteran or a new recruit... Immediately afterwards, the generals of Qi army heard the roar of exhausted people outside the city, "——Control, fire!" A huge black cloud rose from their heads, and locusts shot down densely like them.
On the village wall and the watchtower, everyone subconsciously lowered their bodies and hid behind the city wall and the village railings. This was the only way to avoid the Qi army's shooting. Several Chen army generals also grabbed the two messengers and shouted loudly: "There are two more troops on the left fence to make up for them. This is the last batch of reinforcements, save some money... The shield soldiers and crossbowmen all went up to me, hurry!"
"The clan is rushing to the battlefield!!"
"Where is Bu Jia? Push it up!"
...
After half a day of battle, the battle was so dark.
Xiao Mohe stood on the tower, looked far away from the railing, leaning forward slightly, staring at the defense line in front of him with a serious expression, and issued decisive and cold orders. Before the deep trough at the entrance of the Chen army's camp, countless Chen army and Qi army collided heavily. The red-armored Chen army and the black-armored Qi army staged the most cruel close-range battle in the era of cold weapons, bleeding and drifting, and mourning.
"The tower on the right was smashed by the Qi army's thrown car. Our crossbowmen have lost control of the commanding heights of the right wing!", "Report, the right wing is defeated!", "The right wing has been dispersed by the Qi people. Please help!"
Several commanders flew over and shouted all the way.
Xiao Mohe's face changed and he looked to the right wing. The tower on the other side had been smashed by stones. The right army soldiers who came out of the camp to fight had already collapsed. A few bowmen stood on the walls of the village. Facing the purposeful shooting of the Qi people, they could not play a role in suppressing them. Instead, they were seriously injured... Xiao Mohe looked in the other direction without hesitation:
"What's wrong with the Central Army?"
"The central army has stabilized its position and is oppressing forward."
"Send the order, all the 12 archers behind the Central Army will go to the wall of the right army to let the civilians build the building as soon as possible. If they fail in half a day, they will be killed." Although Xiao Mohe was timid and cautious in the court, when he arrived at the battlefield, his ruthlessness was fully demonstrated. Xiao Mohe, who was a young man who joined the army to kill the enemy, was naturally not what Wang Lin called a scornful man.
"General, the other side has been shooting for more than half a day. The archer's fingers have cracked and are bleeding and can't bear it anymore." A general looked embarrassed. Xiao Mohe swept over with a cold look. The man immediately stopped and took the order with his fist... The Qi army's central army, Wang Lin also said expressionlessly: "If you break the spear, use a knife, use a knife, use an axe, and have no choice but to scratch it with your nails. If you bite with your teeth, you will tear a bloody path for me. What I want is victory, not an excuse."
"Don't tell me what Chen Jun is so powerful. You have been fighting with them for most of the day, so you have seen it? Will they scream in pain if they shoot an arrow, and will they bleed if they slash? To put it bluntly, they are all humans. If we want to win them, we must not only use people, but also be more fierce and cruel than them. We can only be trained as soldiers. Tell them that they are not allowed to retreat, and those who retreat will be killed!"
Deputy General Murong Zian immediately knelt down and took the order away. Not long after, the crossbowmen on the right wing camp of Chen's army were shot and killed by the Qi army. The Qi army gained some space and advantages and increased their efforts to slash and kill the Chen army. But after a while, several times the crossbowmen were repaired from the central army. Chen's reaction was full of strength and slowly pressed the front line back...
Such confrontations are happening constantly in every part of the battlefield, and everyone is sweating and passionate in their own position.
The Chen army compressed into a group, hoping to condense into a force of sad soldiers. Relying on the unity and cooperation of the army, relying on its wisdom or courage, gradually accumulating into a victory bit by bit.
Although the Qi army performed slightly inferiorly, it also showed an unreserved hedging posture from the beginning, like a sharp steel knife, slashing hard at Chen Jun’s weakest place.
Cut the leather and bones together!
At this time, there is no need for both coaches to elaborate on it, everyone has already understood:
This is the beginning of the decisive battle!
Chapter completed!
