Chapter 696: Battle of Jiguan (3)

"Back to the general, I have already followed the major general's instructions. Every time after a battle, the elite soldiers will be selected and organized separately." After speaking, he paused for a moment and continued: "Currently there are about 8,000 soldiers. There are about a thousand soldiers at the ninth level, about two thousand at the eighth level, and five thousand at the seventh level."

"Be prepared. If the general's prediction is correct, the Sizhou Army will launch an all-out attack today." Jiang Jian said softly;

"The general has not accepted the order." The young general was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, cupped his fists and saluted, then turned around and walked out of the pass.

"Generals, listen to the order and send the army to prepare. The enemy will attack soon. In today's battle, I am invincible!" Jiang Jian saw that Jiang Jian had already left the pass to make preparations, and turned towards the generals around him. shouted sharply;

"Kill, kill, kill..." Everyone responded in unison.

There were originally 30,000 troops in Jiguan, but they had suffered more than 10,000 losses in the past few days of fighting. These days, Jiang Jiandu has been sending all the injured soldiers to the camp behind the pass, and at the same time, he has sent soldiers from inside the pass. The Chinese army dispatched some soldiers to guard the barracks. Such things were normal in the eyes of others, and the other generals who were not dealing with Jiang Pei didn't notice anything unusual.

In fact, what they didn't know was that after these injured soldiers entered the barracks, some of the soldiers who had reached the seventh level or above were placed separately and treated as best they could, while the other soldiers were treated as ordinary wounded soldiers.

Not only that, most of the soldiers Jiang Jian mobilized from the pass every time were soldiers who had reached the seventh level or above after fighting in the war.

Jiang Jian was originally a relatively outstanding talent among the Jiang Pei people. He was less than forty this year. He could be said to be one of the few generals under Jiang Pei. He had a close relationship with Jiang Shan. This time, he was ordered by Jiang Shan. , a group of elite soldiers were gathered for him. So in the past three or four days, Huangfu Chaobo was training troops and generals, and Jiang Jian was also training troops.

In the past few days, although nearly 10,000 Jiguan soldiers were lost, less than 4,000 were actually killed. Among the more than 6,000 injured soldiers, those who reached the seventh level or above were arranged by him to be placed alone, and then Use various medicines obtained from Jiangshan to heal them as much as possible. Not only the wounded soldiers, but also nearly half of the seventh-level and above soldiers in the pass were selected by him for various reasons.

At present, there are probably more than 16,000 soldiers in the pass who can fight. What Jiang Jian is doing now is to try his best to use these soldiers to delay time and let Jiang Jian bring these eight thousand elites to Jiang Shan.

You know, although Jiang Pei is the governor of Hedong, he does not have many elite soldiers at hand. That's why Jiang Shan came up with the idea of ​​using Jiguan to kill two birds with one stone. Since he was consuming the strength of others, he could also accumulate elites for himself. As expected, within a few days, Jiang Jian had Jiang Jian gather nearly 8,000 high-level soldiers.

In fact, it is not that the wars in the past few days have allowed so many soldiers to reach high levels, but that there were many high-level existences among the 30,000 soldiers, and Jiang Jian and Jiang Jian used various reasons to move them to high levels. Just gather them all up. Of course, there are still some soldiers who have risen a lot in level through the past few days of fighting, especially some archers, who have risen the fastest.

Not long after Jiang Jian made arrangements, the Sizhou army's attack on the opposite side had already begun.

As the war drums of the Sizhou Army's central army sounded, the overwhelming stones fell on the wall like clouds, and their number was far greater than the previous days' attacks. Seeing this situation, the generals on the wall were all frightened, secretly thinking that Jiang Jian was indeed right. Sizhou Army seemed to want to complete its victory today.

As Jiang Jian expected, the battle entered a fever pitch as soon as the battle began. The Sizhou army attacking today was obviously several percent stronger than the soldiers of the previous few days. As soon as the battle began, although precautions had been taken, the Sizhou Army almost gained a foothold on the wall.

Fortunately, with Jiang Jian's reminder, the generals on the wall had already made some mental preparations. Seeing that the posture was not right, they immediately sent their guards up.

Only then could the defense be stabilized.

However, it is only barely stable. As a last resort, Jiang Jian ordered soldiers and horses from another school to be transferred from the city. At this time, where Huangfu Chaobo's army was in the middle, Zhao Yun also saw the situation at the top of the city. Following his order, the soldiers from the other school who had been prepared quickly moved towards the wall.

The leader this time was Dian Wei, who was unparalleled in foot combat in the Sizhou Army, and the ones guarding him were a hundred Tiebei Camp soldiers. Each of these soldiers had the strength of more than a hundred soldiers in the ordinary army. .

With Dian Weiyou joining in, Sizhou's army quickly occupied a position at the top of the city. The soldiers from the Tiebei Battalion who followed quickly climbed up to the top of the city. Several siege ladders guarded the top of the city, and others However, people were guarding Dian Wei, constantly expanding the area to both sides.

Seeing this situation, the Hedong Military Academy Captain in charge of the city immediately led his men to attack Dian Wei. Who knows, before he made two moves, Dian Wei was split into two halves, and his entire internal organs were destroyed. It was scattered everywhere in the city.

After killing the enemy general with one sword, Dian Wei became even more like a fierce god possessing him. His body was covered with flesh and blood, and he stood at the top of the city with his two halberds raised high, shouting loudly: "Chen Liu Dian Wei is here, who can come forward and die!"

At the same time, Dian Wei's violent shouting also attracted the attention of the soldiers on the side. After everyone heard Dian Wei's voice, they immediately closed their doors and shouted from everywhere: "General Dian has entered the city, kill him!"

"kill..."

"kill..."

For a while, the whole battlefield was filled with shouts of killing.

At this time, Huangfu Chaobo, who was in the central army, also saw the situation on the top of the city. Seeing this, Zhao Yun immediately ordered the army to follow up quickly.

Soon, the sound of thunderous drums rang out from the central army.

After receiving the military order, Su Zhi and Yang Feng quickly led the soldiers of Longxiang Camp to attack the top of the city.

The changes on the top of the city also quickly attracted Jiang Jian's attention. Seeing this, he immediately sent several other lieutenants to lead the troops to stop them. Unfortunately, they were no longer facing ordinary military schools, but Dian Wei and Tiebi Camp. After several leading lieutenants were killed by Dian Shen like cutting melons and vegetables, no one in the Hedong Army on the top of the city dared to face Dian Wei, the killing god.

Seeing this, Jiang Jian knew that he was powerless to save the situation. So, he carefully ordered the soldiers to prepare to retreat. But he forgot one thing: morale should be boosted but not let down, especially now that he is facing a peerless warrior like Dian Wei.
