Chapter 96 Fierce Battle

Lu Guangda's victory in the flag was like a shot of a heart-warming shot. Not only did Xiao Moha, Fan Yi and other generals be greatly encouraged, but after the news came into the city, Chen Shubao was even more overjoyed and was rarely wise. He rewarded a large amount of money and property from the palace. The front-line soldiers were immediately grateful and had a little more intention to die.

However, Chen Shubao, who had just taken out a large amount of property to reward the soldiers on the front line, realized that the Sui army was not afraid, and immediately stayed in the harem for fun all day. Except for Shi Wenqing and Chen Keqing several people, the rest could not see the emperor at all, and even left Xiao Moha's seventh concubine in the palace for several days.

Baitugang was crowded at this time and it completely became a huge barracks. The 80,000 Chen army first faced the 20,000 Sui army and gained the advantage. Gradually, the Sui army on the opposite side became 40,000, 80,000, and finally became 180,000. After several days of fighting, the Chen army had some casualties, and had turned from 80,000 to more than 78,000.

The most taboo tactics in fighting are to add fuel, but that is when the troops of the two sides are not much different. The Zhongshan camp was built for more than 20 days and it has already become a deep barrier. It is impossible for the 80,000 Chen army to capture the camps garrisoned by 20,000 troops in a short time. The Sui army on the periphery can reach it in just one day or three days. As the Sui army on the periphery increases and gradually exceeds the Chen army, the Chen army can no longer be besieged Zhongshan, but just shrinks and retreats.

Xiao Moha has experienced many battles. Although he was very passionate about Chen Shubao when he went out to fight, he still had a basic judgment on the battlefield situation. The Sui army that reinforced him was clearly armored and neatly formed. He was obviously elite. He sent elite troops several times to attack the Sui army, which had not yet stabilized, and ended in failure. When the Sui army increased to the same number as the Chen army, Xiao Moke knew that it was difficult to win outside the city, so he immediately issued an emergency document requesting to retreat into the city.

However, his emergency documents were not at all in the hands of the emperor, and they were all suppressed by Shi Wenqing and Shen Keqing. Shi and Chen were greatly criticized by Xiao Maha's idea of ​​entering the city and ordered Xiao Maha not to lead troops into the city, and they had to defeat the Sui army outside the city.

Xiao Mohe had no choice but to watch the opportunity to enter the city. When the number of Sui soldiers increased to 180,000, he immediately revealed his intention and used tens of thousands of light cavalry to lay on both sides. Although there was a narrow passage behind Chen Jun, Chen Jun had lost the opportunity to enter the city safely. If he was anxious to enter the city, as long as the Sui army attacked with all his strength, the Chen army would likely lead to the sudden collapse of the entire army.

He Ruobi was defeated for a while at the beginning. Later, in order not to let Chen's army retreat, he had to pretend to be defending himself and hide in the village for two days. As soon as reinforcements arrived, He Ruobi immediately vented the anger he had accumulated for several days on Chen's army. Tens of thousands of troops, under the arrangement of He Ruobi, attacked Chen's army layer by layer. Both sides established a twenty-mile front around the small Baitugang, killing the sky and the earth.

Although Chen Jun was the tall city wall of Jiankang for more than ten miles behind him, he had no choice but to retreat and could only resist it. However, after all, these 80,000 people were rare elite soldiers of the Chen Dynasty. Although the Sui Army had the advantage, it was difficult to win immediately.

The sun slowly rose, which was a rare sight. The winter was warm and shining on the maroon-red land at the boundary between the two armies. These days, this black land was full of blood from the soldiers of the two armies, and even the color of the soil changed.

"Dong!Dong!Dong!" Behind the Sui army, dozens of strong men with shirtless upper bodies and explosive muscles on their bodies waved the mallet on their hands and beat the huge war drum wrapped in cowhide on the twelve sides. The drum sound spread throughout the battlefield. Teams of Sui army infantry in armor moved forward with the rhythm of the drum. With each step moving, the entire ground could clearly feel shaking. These infantry raised their long spears forward, as if a steel forest was pressing towards Chen Jun's position.

This is the second time that the Sui army has dispatched iron-armed infantry. About one hundred meters on both sides of the iron-armed infantry, a group of light cavalry followed slowly in slashes. These light cavalry were flat with horse lances and pointed straight ahead. Once the Chen army's position was torn open by the Sui army, they would increase the speed to the maximum without hesitation, pounce over, and submerge the Chen army's position.

Behind the iron-armored infantry were rows of archers. Their arrows were already on the string and pointed diagonally ahead. Clusters of cold arrows reflected a faint cold light, ready to cover the Chen army camp at any time.

The Chen army's position was full of murder. This was the fifteenth day of the battle between the two sides. As time went by, the Sui army's huge manpower advantage was increasingly reflected. Faced with the Sui army's daily attack, even the iron man would be exhausted. At first, the Chen army could still maintain counterattack. Now the Chen army has basically lost its ability to counterattack, and they are even unwilling to consume more physical strength, because if the battlefield reaction is slow, the next time the enemy attacks, they may die, and they can only wait quietly for the enemy's attack.

As the Sui army moved step by step, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer. Everyone subconsciously held the weapons in their hands and silently waited for the upcoming fight.

"Shoot the arrow!"

"Buzz, buzz." The sound of bowstring trembling sounded, and countless feather arrows flew out of the Chen army's camp, blocking the entire sunlight by half.

Facing the densely packed arrows flying in the sky, the advancing Sui army ignored them at all. They were all wearing thick iron armor. Unless they hit the eyes or the tiny junction of the iron armor, such feather arrows would not pose a threat to them. Of course, if it were replaced by a siege, even the thick iron armor would be useless when facing the attack of the crossbow.

"Zheng, zheng." The arrows fell among the advancement of the armored infantry of the Sui army. When they found the sound of metal colliding, sparks flew everywhere. The falling arrows bounced to the side. Occasionally, the sound of flesh entering the flesh. Such arrows were not deep into the flesh and could only stagger on the Sui army, and could be pulled out with a little force.

"Shooting arrows!" Seeing that the first wave of arrows was useless, the Chen army did not stop shooting arrows at all. Their purpose was not the heavy armored infantry of the Sui army, but the Sui army archers following the heavy armored infantry. This war was held at the doorstep of the Chen army. Although the Chen army's equipment was not weaker than the Sui army, it was not comparable to the Sui army in terms of heavy armored infantry. The southern water network was densely covered with sergeants, and the soldiers could not fight in heavy armor. Faced with the attack from the north, they mostly rely on the natural barrier of the Yangtze River for defense. The iron armored infantry was not only expensive, but also useless. The Chen army naturally would not be equipped. Now the two sides are fighting decisively outside the city. Yesterday, the Chen army suffered a great hardship on the iron armored infantry of the Sui army.

"Swish! Swish!" This time, countless sharp arrows passed over the armored infantry of the Sui army and fell among the Sui army archers behind the armored infantry.

"Bo, Bow, Bow." The sound of arrow feathers entering the flesh came, and the Sui army archers following the iron armored infantry finally suffered a significant loss. Nearly a hundred archers fell down, and their blood flowed out and seeped into this land that had been fed with blood.

"Retreat! Stop!"

The archer following behind suddenly stopped, took a few steps before standing again. The iron armored iron soldiers in front were still moving forward slowly, and the two sides gradually opened the distance. The archers of the Chen army fired again, but this time their arrow feathers could only fly to the gap between the iron armored infantry of the Sui army and the archer.

"kill!"

As the two sides got closer, the armored infantry of the Sui army finally advanced to the front of the Chen army formation, thousands of people shouted in unison, and the entire battlefield was clearly heard.

"Kill!" Chen Jun did not show any weakness. He quickly retreated with a point in front of him. He replaced the spearmen and heavy big knife hands. Although the armor of the Sui Army was strong, it was not as strong as invulnerable as swords and guns. If he used great force, he could always pierce it. The big knife weighed dozens of kilograms. Even if it could not be cut open, it could still shake people to death.

The iron-armed infantry is inconvenient to move. The best way to resist the iron-armed infantry is of course the deep trenches barriers. However, after such a long attack, the ravines in front of Chen's camp have long been filled. At first, Chen's army sent people to dig the trenches every night, but now they no longer have so much energy to do this work. Knowing that the opponent dispatched the iron-armed infantry, they could only rely on their lives to fill the holes.

"Zheng!Zheng!Zheng!" Countless weapons intersected, and the same weapons stabbed into people. The Sui army could pierce a big hole in Chen's body with just one pierce, but the Chen army had to use all their strength to pierce the Sui army's body. One corpse fell down, and the casualties on both sides were disproportionate. However, the Chen army still resisted the advance of the armored infantry of the Sui army.

"Shoot!" Before we knew it, the archer who had just stopped in the Sui army followed again. In an instant, countless feather arrows flew to Chen Jun camp.

"Swish! Swish!" The arrow feathers fell into the dense formation of Chen Jun, and the casualties caused were difficult to estimate. The heads of Chen Jun, who were still densely packed just now, suddenly became sparse.

"Kill!" The armored infantry of the Sui army immediately advanced, rushing the thin line of Chen's army into pieces, opening a big gap.

"Kill!" The Sui army light cavalry on both sides immediately launched an attack on the gap like a shark smelling blood.
