Chapter 770
Seeing his own soldiers shouting and charging forward to kill, Qiu Zhen was also excited. He turned to look at Tang Yin, who was excited and beaming with joy, and smiled secretly. Sometimes the tactics the king came up with were really unexpected, magical and mysterious.
He cleared his throat and asked, "Why doesn't your Majesty let the new army take the lead?"
"New army?" Tang Yin still looked forward and said without looking back: "They should forget it! It's okay to let the new army beat the drum. If we really let them charge into the battle and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, they won't be able to count on it. Instead, they will It will damage the morale of our army and increase the enemy's prestige!" After saying this, he turned to look at Qiu Zhen and said with a smile: "We have to rely on our Feng Ren brothers to fight with real swords and guns!"
He looked away, then looked at Xia Yufu, and asked with a smile: "Miss Yufu, am I right?"
"Huh!" Xia Yufu snorted coldly and turned her head away, as if she didn't even bother to look at her.
As a Ningren, but in Fengying, Xia Yufu's psychology is very complicated. She doesn't want to see Ningren die, and she doesn't want to see Ningguo lose. However, she vaguely doesn't want Tang Yin to lose. Now even she I couldn't tell which side she was leaning towards, so I could only use an indifferent attitude to cover up my inner conflicts and panic.
Tang Yin said: "Miss Yufu, there is no need to worry about my safety. I will not fight in person this time."
"Damn you, I've said it hundreds of times, I don't care about your life or death at all, and you should stop saying such boring things." If she kept repeating it like this, she would take it seriously. Xia Yufu was in a very bad mood, her face and neck were red and she yelled at Tang Yin.
Although Xia Yufu and Tang Yin were often seen arguing, Qiu Zhen still felt extremely uncomfortable. His face darkened and he said coldly: "Miss Yufu, please pay attention to your words and attitude!"
Xia Yufu, who was on the verge of going crazy, immediately turned her finger on Qiu Zhen and asked angrily: "Why don't you let your king pay attention to his words and attitude?"
Qiu Zhenda frowned and wanted to speak. Tang Yin reached out and pulled his arm and whispered: "Forget it, women are like this. There are always a few days in every month where they are in an extremely bad mood. It's understandable."
Xia Yufu and Qiu Zhen were stunned for a moment, and then understood what Tang Yin meant. Qiu Zhen shook his head, smiled, and stopped talking. Xia Yufu's face turned even redder, and she stared at Tang Yin with almost naked eyes, as if she wanted to pounce on him and bite him.
Tang Yin sighed softly, changed the subject, and murmured: "Ning Guo has so many talents, let's talk about Jiqiao Villa. It is incredible that Yan Chu didn't win over him and use them in the army."
Qiu Zhen smiled and continued: "It is Yan Chu's stupidity that will help the king and achieve great things!"
Xia Yufu rolled her eyes and couldn't help but vomit: "Your Majesty will not force your own people like bandits and robbers. This is the difference between a gentleman and a robber!" In Xia Yufu's eyes, Yan Chu is a handsome gentleman. , is a noble and holy monarch, and the Feng Kingdom is no different from a den of thieves. From Tang Yin to the ordinary soldiers, they are a group of barbaric bandits.
Tang Yin blinked, laughed loudly, and said: "Gentleman and robbers? This is a good metaphor! In a peaceful and prosperous age, a gentleman is naturally better than a robber, but in a troubled world where the weak and the strong prey on the jungle, the gentleman is a sheep, and the robber is a wolf, and the wolf will not eat it." Sheep, you are violating the laws of heaven, and even God cannot tolerate you."
Xia Yufu's delicate body trembled with anger, and she held it in for a long time before scoffing: "Here's nonsense!"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "Only by saying it obliquely can a false idea become a right idea!"
"..." Xia Yufu was speechless and turned her head away angrily, no longer looking at him.
Tang Yin was quarreling with Xia Yufu leisurely, but the Crouching Tiger Temple opposite had turned into a mess.
Ning's soldiers were no longer interested in fighting, and the people were just waiting for the order to retreat.
Not only did the soldiers want to run away, but General Ning also had no fighting spirit. The generals around Lin Han gathered around him and looked at each other. One of them said: "Sir, we... better... let's retreat first! Judging from the current situation, Crouching Pass cannot be defended no matter what, and only temporary evacuation can preserve strength..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Han interrupted: "Retreat? Where else can we retreat? After Wohu Pass, there is no danger to defend, and the local army of Yunkou County behind us has already moved south. You wait Are you asking me to return to the capital?"
One sentence made all the generals blush and lower their heads.
Lin Han sighed bitterly and said: "It can be said that we are the last barrier of the capital. The king, the ministers in the court, and the people of Quanning have all pinned their hopes of resisting the wind army on us. If we don't fight, If we retreat, how can we survive in this world? We can only fight to the end in a bloody battle. If we are here, Crouching Tiger Pass will remain, and if Crouching Tiger Pass dies, we will die with them!"
His words greatly moved the generals. They looked at each other, took a deep breath, and said in unison: "We swear to advance and retreat with you, live and die together!"
"Okay!" Lin Han looked around emotionally at everyone around him, clenched his fists, and said decisively: "Even if the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, even if the city wall collapses, even if we block it with our flesh and blood, we can't stop it." We must keep the Feng Army out of the pass!"
"Yes! Sir!" All the generals responded in unison.
The generals' determination to die was inspired by Lin Han. They led the Ning army to withstand the Feng army for a while with their momentum, but how could it last long? The difference in military strength and overall strength between the two sides is so huge that it cannot be balanced by willpower.
At the large gaps in the north and south of the Wohu Pass city wall, the two sides launched a fierce fight.
First, the Ning army stood in the gap, falling one group and filling in another group. Although they fought tenaciously, they were still defeated by the ferocious Feng army. Not long after, the Feng army occupied the gap and prepared to charge into the pass. At this time, the defenders inside the pass launched a desperate counterattack, stepping on the corpses of their companions and pushing them up regardless.
Under the Ning Army's completely lifeless and almost suicidal tactics, the Feng Army who occupied the gap in the city wall was pushed back. The Ning Army reoccupied the gap, and then the Feng Army organized a fierce counterattack and retreated from the Ning Army. The two sides repeatedly competed for gaps in the city wall, and the battle evolved into the most brutal tug-of-war.
In this kind of battle, there will be no real winner. Basically, the enemy will die one thousand, and I will lose eight hundred. No one can benefit. The competition is about who has more troops and who has the most stamina.
The Feng Army was accustomed to such brutal battles, but the Ning Army had never experienced it before. After all, they were local armies, not the central army that often participated in large army operations.
As the battle intensified, the casualties on both sides continued to soar. The gap in the city wall was built more than one meter high, but it was not built with stones, but with the corpses of fallen soldiers from both sides.
The first one to collapse was Ning Jun. The officers and soldiers of the Ning Army who participated in the battle were stunned and frightened by the tragic and extremely cruel battle in front of them. They looked at the mountains of corpses and the roaring enemies with red eyes on the opposite side. They smelled the disgusting smell of blood. One after another, the Ning Army seemed to suddenly He yelled and ran around like he was insane.
At such a critical and tense moment, one deserter can affect the fighting spirit of a group of people, and a group of deserters can weaken the morale of the entire army. Ning's army quickly evolved from the collapse of a single soldier to the collapse of the entire army.
The army was defeated like a mountain.
Taking advantage of the defeat of Ning's army, the Feng army broke through the gap in the city wall and rushed into Crouching Tiger Pass. At this point, the offensive battle between the two sides completely turned into a city-wide melee.
At this point in the battle, Ning's army could no longer resist. Groups of soldiers were separated and surrounded by the Feng army in the rout. Some were completely annihilated by the Feng army, some surrendered, and some were still making the final effort to trap the beasts. fight.
At this time, Lin Han on the city gate was completely desperate. As the commander-in-chief of the garrison, how could he not know that his side's defeat was now determined? He was unwilling to accept it and did not dare to think about it any further. He did not know that he had lost his bed. What else can Ning Guo of Huguan rely on to resist the wolf-like and tiger-like Feng army?
"The enemy is coming. Brothers, protect me!"
The heart-rending shouts of the surrounding Ning soldiers finally brought Lin Han back to his senses. He turned around and looked around. There were more than a hundred Ning soldiers covered in blood gathered around him. Looking to the left and right, two Ning soldiers gathered around him. A large number of wind troops surged up from both sides, and they were all covered in black and countless numbers.
"Sir, what should we do now?" Lin Han has always been the backbone of his soldiers. In critical moments, people naturally put their last hope in him, hoping that he can lead them and find a way out.
But where does Lin Han have any ideas at this time? He twitched the corners of his mouth a few times, revealing a wry smile. He said nothing, but silently drew out his sword, separated from the crowd on his side, and walked towards Feng Jun step by step. He used practical actions to tell the surrounding Ning Army officers and soldiers that they would rather die than surrender in a last-ditch effort with the Feng Army.
It's a pity that Lin Han is not a military commander, but a civil servant with no power.
When he walked towards Feng Jun, people saw that he was wearing a general's helmet and a general's armor. They took a few steps back with concern. However, seeing that he had not put on his spiritual armor for a long time, Feng Jun gradually became bolder. , one of the soldiers roared, and rushed towards Lin Han with a spear. With the momentum, the spear stabbed Lin Han in the lower abdomen.
Lin Han had no experience in fighting. When he saw the enemy stabbing him with a spear, he subconsciously swung his sword to block it. His sword struck the spear, but he did not bounce the spear away. With his little strength, he struck the spear. How could he possibly block the full blow of the strong soldier Feng?
A squeaking sound was heard in the helix of the ear, and Feng Bing's spear pierced Lin Han's stomach deeply. The latter did not expect to stab a Ning general so easily. He turned around and shouted excitedly: "I killed a thief." "General..." If he knew that the person he stabbed was actually Lin Han, the commander of Ning Army, he would probably go crazy with joy.
However, the soldier Feng did not remain excited for too long. He was cut into two pieces by Ning Jiang who came to his senses and rushed forward with a sword. Ning Jiang stretched out his hand to support Lin Han, who was softening, and shouted urgently: :"grown ups……"
The spear hit by Lin Han was so heavy that his intestines flowed out along the wound on his stomach. His face was pale and his eyes were unfocused, but his blood-soaked mouth still said intermittently: "Kill... kill the enemy... I'd rather die than die." drop……"
