Chapter 1063 Fight again at the right time

The Western Wei Dynasty deployed nearly 50,000 horses on the back road, of which 20,000 were stationed on the upper reaches of Suishui River. The Shaozhou Army led by Yang Guo had nearly 10,000 soldiers and stayed in Chexicheng to the north of Guzhong Road. As for the 20,000 division brigade led by Yang Zhong, they first marched to Lishan on the west side of Qinshui River.

Although the areas arranged by the three groups are relatively close, their respective tasks are slightly different. The men and horses stationed at Suishui were naturally to protect the safety of waterways and supply lines. Yang Guo was mainly responsible for guarding against incoming enemies from the Northern Qi Dynasty. As for the men and horses under Yang Zhong, they were the main force responsible for attacking Jianzhou.

Yang Zhong has not officially marched towards Jianzhou yet. When he received the news sent by Yang Guo and learned that the enemy army had indeed marched here to attack and had already established a foothold in Lengkou Valley, he did not dare to neglect it. Even if he led two thousand elite soldiers to come straight to the place where Yang Guo blocked the enemy's army.

The distance between the two places was not too far. It only took Yang Zhong and his party more than an hour to arrive at the camp outside Lengkou Valley. After hearing the news, Yang Jue hurriedly greeted him. After seeing Yang Zhong, he said a little embarrassedly: "I don't want to let the thieves seize power today... There are about three to four thousand thieves in the mountain valley. They are all brave and fierce. They are led by Hulu Mingyue, the son of Hulu Jin. The thieves are fighting for their lives to attack. Our army's formation It was not strong enough and was attacked by thieves, so we had to retreat here and fight again."

Although he was waiting for work and still had superior strength, he retreated under the fierce enemy offensive. Naturally, Yang Gu felt quite embarrassed.

After hearing this, Yang Zhong did not criticize Yang Guo too much. Instead, he went straight to the front line of the battle between the two sides. He stood in his own battle formation and looked inward for a while, carefully taking a look at the distribution of the enemy troops in the mountain valley.

When he heard the neighing of a large number of war horses in the mountain valley, Yang Zhong frowned slightly, slowly retreated to the camp, and said to Yang Jue and others: "Since the thieves are here, they have their own way to fight dangerously." The determination to fight to the death is not limited to being trapped in the valley and nuisance me. I am currently gathering my strength, and I will definitely break out soon. Once I get out of here, it will be a big harm, and I need to kill it as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, Yang Jue's face became more and more ugly. He took a deep breath first, and then said: "It is the general's fault that he failed to keep the thieves away from the mountains and wilderness. I will personally supervise Erlang to fight to the death. We must annihilate the enemies here!"

"The soldiers here are tired from fighting for a long time. Let's retire for the time being. Since I have led my troops here, I can't just watch and attack first. Please Yang Shaozhou distributes armored soldiers to the left mountain pass to prevent the thieves from escaping and fleeing. disaster."

After watching the battle for a period of time, Yang Zhong could already tell that Yang Guo's troops were slightly inferior to his opponents in terms of equipment, skills and fighting spirit. After all, Yang Jue's troops belong directly to the local garrison state army, and the input of Bafu resources they can obtain is relatively limited.

In other combat environments, there may be some means to offset these differences. However, in the current battlefield where the terrain is long and narrow and the troops are in close contact, the only thing that matters is the hard quality of their respective soldiers. The Shaozhou Army will inevitably be dwarfed by them.

Hearing what Yang Zhong said, Yang Jue looked ashamed again: "Everything here is within the bounds of our responsibilities. I am grateful to Mr. Anlu for coming here to plunder the formation, but I really don't dare..."

"They are all obeying orders from above and serving the country. There is no need to subdivide each other!"

Before Yang Guo finished speaking, Yang Zhong waved his hand and said, and immediately returned to the camp. He ordered the soldiers to remove the armor, swords and other weapons from the horses, and then put on armor and armed themselves in the camp.

Not long after, two hundred heavily armored soldiers, including Yang Zhong, were fully equipped. The other sergeants were also armed in light armor or semi-armor. Then, under the command of Yang Zhong, they took up positions outside the mountains and valleys to defeat the dangerous fortresses. place.

After Yang Jue saw this, he quickly arranged for his own soldiers to cooperate with the defense parties and set up a wide encirclement outside the mountain valley.

After all these things were prepared, Yang Zhong held a sword and led a group of heavily armored soldiers towards the entrance of the mountain valley with a steady pace. The officers and soldiers of the Qi army in the mountain valley also noticed this development of the Wei army, and immediately reported the situation to the valley and asked for strategies to deal with the enemy.

At this time, Hu Luguang also woke up. Although he only experienced a short period of sleep, his spirit had recovered and his injuries had been properly treated. Although the pain was unbearable, fortunately, it did not affect his movements too much. Impact.

After learning that the enemy had invested heavy armor to attack, Hu Luguang took a moment to observe with the support of his general, and his mood could not help but become a little solemn and nervous. There is no wood or stone that can be moved flexibly in this mountain valley, so it is difficult to build a line of defense in a short time.

At present, the only way to temporarily avoid the enemy's sharp attack and consume the opponent's manpower is to lead some of the war horses in the valley forward to block the entrance of the valley. Although the war horses would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, at least they could avoid a direct collision with the enemy.

So Hu Luguang drove hundreds of war horses forward to occupy the valley space, and at the same time had people dig ravines behind the horses in an attempt to impose certain obstacles on the enemy.

"Take me as a target and go straight into the valley!"

Yang Zhong did not order his troops to line up and completely block the valley passage. Instead, he headed into the valley in a column of three people.

The enemy troops originally guarding the entrance of the valley have retreated inwards, and the first ones to be attacked are the crowded and restless horses. These war horses were already frightened, and the fatigue caused by crossing the mountains and ridges had not been completely eliminated. At this time, they were driven to the front of the valley, and they suddenly became more difficult to control, and they rushed out of the valley noisily.

"die!"

Yang Zhong shouted loudly, and slashed the war horse in front of him with the sword in his hand. The blade fell straight from the horse's neck. The horse fell directly to death on the spot. The horses beside him were frightened by this and immediately neighed and fled to the left and right. I dare not go straight to the truth anymore.

Although the war horses are quite understanding of human nature, they are not as good as human cognition after all. They still follow the biological instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding harm. They followed the sides of the heavily armored team and galloped out of the valley. Even if there were war horses rushing towards them in a panic, Most of this team could not escape the fate of being killed on the spot. Although it had a certain impact on the forward speed of Yang Zhong and his group of heavily armored soldiers, it was not to the extent that it was difficult for the blocked team to move forward.

Soon hundreds of war horses galloped past. At this time, the Qi army soldiers in the valley had already lined up at Linjian, hoping to use the several feet of terrain difference between the valleys here to block the enemy.

In the previous battle, Hu Luguang's overdraft was too great. Although his energy had recovered slightly now, it was difficult to wear armor and go into battle, so he could only dispatch the soldiers in the rear and supervise the battle with swords.

Soon, the heavy armor of the Wei army advanced to the front of the enemy's formation. Facing the enemy's sabers, Yang Zhong and his left and right soldiers slashed with their sabers. Several enemy blades were directly split open, even if there were sharp blades falling on him. , it just made a clanging sound on the armor, but did not cause any damage.

On the contrary, when the fallen sword was slashed upwards, several enemy soldiers were unable to avoid it. Their leg bones below the knees were directly cut and broken, and they fell to the ground screaming.

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Because the enemy formation in front was too dense and the terrain was higher, Yang Zhong could not climb up for a while, so he stood under the giant rock and continued to slash and kill with his sword against the enemy's arrows.

Soon the huge rock was covered with thick plasma and became more slippery. The corpses of the Qi army soldiers who were killed above continued to slide down from the top of the rock and piled up into a slope of flesh and blood at the bottom of the rock.

Yang Zhong and others stepped on the enemy's corpse and climbed up the rock. As soon as they gained a stable footing, two long branches from the opposite side hit him in the chest. Yang Zhong was not afraid of this at all. He half-turned his upper body and used his back to bear the blow of a long stick. After receiving the blow, he twisted his waist and turned his arm to slash the saber in his hand, but the blade was slightly blocked. , and instantly cut the two enemy generals in front in half on the spot!

"The Zhuguo is mighty!"

When the soldiers who climbed up the mountain behind saw Yang Zhong's bravery, they all cheered loudly, and Yang Zhong also gave a rare laugh. He pointed his sword forward and shouted: "The thief is ahead, don't stop with the sword! Kill!"

The heavy armored infantry is an almost unsolvable force in the mountains and fields where it is not easy to move and change formations. Especially the elite soldiers of the government led by Yang Zhong, the leading general in North Town, the fighting power they unleashed at this time was by no means inferior to the elite soldiers of Heyang selected by Hu Luguang.

Yang Zhong's fighting style is steady and solid, even if he uses force to destroy people, it gives people a sense of oppression that is difficult to resist. If Hu Luguang led his team to capture the mountain valley before, it was all based on the soldiers meeting in a narrow road and fighting bravely without fear of death, then at this time, the heavily armored soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty led by Yang Zhong seemed to have no emotions at all. Killing machine.

From the mouth of the valley into the valley, from the horse group into the enemy's position, the heavily armored sergeants following Yang Zhong on the left and right sides had taken several turns, but Yang Zhong still advanced with a steady pace and a gentle rhythm, swinging his sword to kill the enemy.

"No more retreat, no more..."

Seeing that the mountain valley that he had risked his life to capture was taken back by the enemy's advance, Hu Luguang felt internally burned and extremely anxious. Even the wounds that had been bandaged and treated before were oozing blood again. . His current condition was no longer suitable for fighting, and he could only shout over and over again to order the soldiers to hold the battle line.

However, the manpower was limited after all. At this time, Yang Zhong had already led his team into most of the mountain valley, and was less than ten feet away from the rear formation where Hu Luguang was. He and the team behind him were like iron drills deeply pierced into cheese. , the forward speed is so steady that it makes people despair.

When the Qi army officers and soldiers who had been bravely rushing to kill the Shaozhou army before faced such an enemy, they couldn't help but feel frightened and chilled in their hearts. They no longer dared to stand directly in front of the enemy army and evaded to both sides.

After advancing a few meters further, Yang Zhong stood still and shook the plasma off his sword, then raised his hand to point at Hu Luguang, who was not far away, and shouted in a deep voice: "Hulugu, kid, don't leave!"

"Dog thief..."

When Hu Luguang saw this scene, his eyes were split open, and he wanted to go forward and fight Yang Zhong for life and death. However, not to mention that his current physical condition did not allow it, and the soldiers on his left and right couldn't help but support him. He stepped back and said, "The thieves are fierce, please stay away from the sharp edge for now, keep this useful body, and fight again when the time comes!"

After hearing this, Hu Luguang's face was full of bitterness. At this time, his own battle formation in the valley had been penetrated by many people and was in chaos. Behind him was the rugged mountains. After exiting the valley, he lost the ability to reorganize the formation. For him, he really had no choice but to fight another day.
