"How come the Xuzhou bandit army has become so powerful? It has only been a year. How come the Xuzhou bandit army is like a new army? The number of elite soldiers has suddenly improved a lot?"

Poor General Qiaorui was completely puzzled. In the Zhuyi War a year ago, General Qiaorui had personally fought against the Langya Army, the infantry ace of the Xuzhou Army at the time. He knew that the Langya Army could probably compete with the first-class elite troops of Yuan Shu Army.

Comparable to each other, but slightly weaker than Sun Jian's last group of more than 1,000 veterans of hundreds of battles, and also weaker than the soldiers of Yuan Shao's army and Cao Cao's army that Qiao Rui had seen, they could barely be ranked among the best soldiers in the world.

, so after the war between Tao and Yuan resumed this time, what Qiao Rui was most wary of in terms of infantry warfare was the 8,000 Langya troops under Zang Ba's command.

As for the other Xuzhou infantry, in the eyes of General Qiao Rui, they are just a pile of canine excrement. The Danyang soldiers who can fight hard are not good at cooperating and have loose discipline.

A single soldier fighting a sheep, and a group fighting a group of sheep, are no better than the rabble that Xiao Yuan Sangong built up haphazardly. They are no match for Qiao Rui's elite soldiers. In the battle of Zhuyi, Xuzhou

The main force of the army was divided into Xiang County. Qiao Rui's troops once broke through the Xuzhou army's Suishui defense line. If it weren't for Zang Ba's Langya soldiers who firmly withstood the strong fortifications built in advance with the Xuzhou army, there is no telling who would win in the battle of Zhuyi!

Deputy Director Tao himself admitted this. If Master Yang Hong hadn't shown off his power, causing chaos within Yuan Shu's army, low morale, and unstable military morale, he had also deceived Qiao Rui, an elite soldier, out of Gaohuang Mountain, which was protected by solid fortifications.

The Xuzhou army may not have a sure chance of victory in the battle between Daying and Zhuyi. At the same time, after the battle of Huangshan New Camp, Xuzhou's ace infantry Langya Army also paid a heavy price. If the casualties of the cannon fodder army are not counted, the Langya soldiers and the elite soldiers under Qiao Rui's command

The casualties were almost one to one. So this time the war between Tao and Yuan resumed, Deputy Director Tao naturally regarded Qiao Rui's army as the number one opponent of Yuan Shu's army on the northern front. General Qiao Rui was not too afraid of the Xuzhou infantry except Langya soldiers.

.

Empirical dogmatism kills people. After one year passed, and they also received military training within one year, the Xuzhou army's combat effectiveness was as if it had taken Viagra. It suddenly dumped the Huainan army to Thailand.

, on the battlefield in front of the camp, the Xuzhou army, which was roughly equal in number, was completely suppressing Yuan Shu's army. The soldiers and generals were like crazy, and they just greeted Yuan Shu's soldiers with swords, guns and swords as if they were risking their lives. Every knife and every shot was fired.

It is a dead-end posture with no return. As long as the soldiers of Yuan Shu's army are timid, they will be hacked to death and stabbed to death immediately! If the knife is blunt and the blade is curled, use the handle to hit it. If the gun is broken, use the barrel to hit it. The weapon is useless.

Use stones in your fists, hold the enemy in his arms, roll and wrestle on the ground, bite the enemy's throat and not let go, hold the enemy's eyes and not let go even if his fingers are broken. He is as ferocious and cruel as a wild beast!

While their fighting spirit was high, the Xuzhou army also significantly improved in terms of collective cooperation with the lord. When one person was in danger, the other four members of the same team immediately rescued with all their strength, either blocking for their companions, or encircling Wei to rescue Zhao and killing the enemy. During the melee, another

The team is a unit, relying on each other to protect each other, and is especially good at encirclement and annihilation. Three of the five soldiers in a team are responsible for encircling and annihilating the enemies in the encirclement, while the other two are responsible for perimeter security. Individual soldiers are also

Pay special attention to covering each other. Once this team encounters a large group of enemies, the surrounding friendly forces will quickly come to reinforce them, always maintaining a local strength advantage.

This would be a disaster for Yuan Shu's army. In order to gain time to retreat to the main camp, Yuan Shu's army at the rear launched several counterattacks, but they were quickly overwhelmed by the endless stream of Xuzhou troops. Not only could they not repel Xuzhou slightly,

The army was surrounded and killed again and again by the Xuzhou army, which made the generals of Yuan Shu's army baffled. "Where did the Xuzhou rebel army find so many experienced Dubbo hundred generals? On the chaotic battlefield, Xuzhou

It would be impossible for the thief to convey the order so quickly?"

What frightened the poor Yuan Shujun soldiers was still behind. In the melee, a group of Xuzhou infantrymen who all used melee steel knives. There were only about 800 infantrymen. Suddenly, they cut in from the front, like a sharp knife inserted into a piece of armor.

The tofu was inserted directly into the front where Yuan Shu's soldiers were densely packed. Any Yuan Shu's soldiers and generals who stood in front of them would only end up being chopped into several pieces by their sharp steel knives! Or even chopped into pieces!

A Yuan Shu military general who was deeply admired by Qiao Rui, in order to achieve meritorious service and the coveted position of General Ya, and to buy time for the main force to withdraw from the camp and hold on, he led his five hundred elite troops to greet him, intending to take these Qiao Rui with him.

The 500 elite soldiers who were all full of praise blocked the footsteps of this group of Xuzhou infantry. However, the star of hope in Yuan Shu's army immediately regretted it, because he immediately discovered that the 800 infantry he encountered were not infantry at all.

But a total of eight hundred lions and tigers!

As soon as the two armies collided, the elite soldiers of Yuan Shu's army at the front were immediately turned into pieces of flesh and blood. Countless elite soldiers of Yuan Shu's army did not even see the appearance of the enemy clearly, and were immediately torn into pieces by the claws of the fierce tigers and lions.

, that is, they were cut into pieces by the steel knife. Countless Yuan Shujun's elite soldiers had just raised their swords and guns, and the steel knife on the opposite side had already struck them at an unimaginable speed, either cutting them in half or killing them.

They disemboweled them, causing them to fall down with incredible despair in their eyes. However, the fierce tigers of the army were merciless. They took a step forward and then slashed out with unparalleled speed, cutting open and cutting the new elite soldiers of Yuan Shu's army.

After the swords and spears of Yuan Shujun's elite soldiers slashed and stabbed out at a speed that they were proud of, these lions and tigers suddenly turned into apes and cunning rabbits, dodging and avoiding with movements that were so fast that Yuan Shujun's elite soldiers couldn't see clearly.

Then he chopped or stabbed these stunned elite soldiers of Yuan Shu's army in pieces. In an instant, nearly a hundred elite soldiers of Yuan Shu's army fell down, but those 800 ordinary Xuzhou infantrymen suffered almost no casualties.

When Hope Star was speechless, the leader of the 800 Xuzhou infantrymen was already in front of him. Several soldiers rushed up to try to stop him, but he cut down two of them one after another with his sword. The third sword followed the trend and was pointed directly at Hope Star.

Star of Hope's chest. Star of Hope woke up and hurriedly dodged, and used his martial arts skills to slash the general's waist with the steel knife in his hand. The general suddenly leaned back to the sky like an iron bridge, and mysteriously and mysteriously let the steel

The knife passed through the abdomen, and his feet were still firmly nailed to the ground until the Star of Hope's posture could no longer lean forward. The general suddenly raised his upper body and slashed the back of the Star of Hope's neck with the palm of his left hand.

There was also a crisp sound of bone breaking on Xing's neck. The cervical vertebrae were shattered. The general kicked the Star of Hope away mercilessly, raised his knife and killed the other enemies. The whole body of Hope was paralyzed.

When Zhixing landed, his face was facing the sky. When he was trampled to death by his own defeated soldiers, he finally saw clearly the three characters written on the military flag carried by the 800 Xuzhou infantry - Fall into camp!

In fact, the martial arts skills of the soldiers trapped in the camp are not fancy or clever. In addition to a few simple evasive movements, they also use four simple moves of cutting, stabbing and slashing with the steel knife in their hands. Only three of them can surpass the elite soldiers of Yuan Shu's army in terms of moves.

Point, move quickly, accurately and fiercely. Each sword swing is the simplest and most direct way to slash at the enemy's fatal vitals. It is so fast that the enemy can't believe it, and it is so fierce that the enemy has no idea of ​​counterattack. He just wants to avoid and parry.

Yuan Shujun's so-called elite soldiers often only feel the flash of a knife in front of their eyes, or a certain part of their body has been separated from the body forever, or their chest and lower abdomen have been pierced and cut open, and the hot internal organs, liver and intestines have slipped out of the body.

.

He saw these soldiers from the trapped camp harvesting the precious lives of their companions like they were chopping melons and vegetables. He also saw these soldiers from the trapped camp who were covered in blood rushing towards him with overwhelming force. Unfortunately, Yuan Shujun blocked the path of the soldiers from the trapped camp.

The generals and soldiers were all in panic. All the generals and soldiers had cold hands and feet and were trembling all over. Countless soldiers turned around and ran away, shouting crazily as they ran. "Madman! Madman! They are all madman! Ghosts and gods! Run! Run!"

ah!"

"Too weak, really too weak." On the contrary, the soldiers in the trapped camp headed by Gao Shun all commented on Yuan Shujun's so-called elite soldiers in their hearts, "Not even the Qingzhou soldiers in Cao's bandit can compare.

, not to mention the Flying Bear Army, the Xiliang Cavalry and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that we encountered before. Even the elite soldiers in the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan's team are much stronger than these Huainan soldiers. To defeat such an enemy, there are

What brilliance is there?”

With this idea in mind, the trapped camp continued to advance forward, easily killing groups of enemies blocking their way, and forcefully opened a gap in the dense group of troops in front of Yuan Shujun's camp.

, the Xuzhou rear army led by Chen Dao took the opportunity to attack, widening the gap while frantically slashing and killing the Yuan Shujun soldiers who were in a mess, and rushed towards the open gate of Yuan Shujun's camp like a tide. Seeing this situation, the poor bridge

While General Rui was dumbfounded, he immediately understood Tao Ying's evil intentions - to use this elite group of abnormal infantry to clear the way, rush directly into his own camp, and knock over his own camp in one go, making himself suffer these days.

The fortifications built were in vain!

"What should we do? Do we need people or a camp?" After understanding this, poor General Qiaorui had only two choices left. One was to abandon the troops outside the camp to defend the camp with all his strength, and the other was to take the risk of accepting the defeated soldiers back to the camp. But he hesitated.

After a moment, Qiao Rui made up his mind and shouted an order: "Fire the arrows! Fire the arrows immediately! Close the village gate! Close the village gate immediately!"

Although Qiao Rui's choice was helpless, it was very wise. If he continued to take risks and accept the defeated troops back to the camp, once the Xuzhou army invaded the camp, it would be difficult for Yuan Shu's army to withdraw across the Huaihe River, not to mention that the pontoon bridge on the river had not yet been repaired.

The only way to cross the river is by boat. Even if the pontoon bridge has been repaired, the narrow pontoon bridge cannot pass through all the troops of Yuan Shu's army in a hurry. The losses suffered by Yuan Shu's army will only be greater and more severe. Instead, he chose to give up the troops who had no time to withdraw to the camp.

As long as the well-fortified camp is defended, Yuan Shu's army can calmly transfer precious military supplies across the river. It can also use pontoons and boats to transfer more Yuan Shu's soldiers to the south bank of the Huaihe River, leaving more guards for the future Huaihe River defense line.

army.

It's a pity that although Qiao Rui's choice was wise, after a volley of arrows was fired from Yuan Shu's army's camp, the thousands of Yuan Shu's defeated soldiers who crowded outside the camp were in bad luck. Xuzhou was behind them like a wolf and a tiger.

The army slashed and killed fiercely, and in front of them were the dense bows and arrows of their own companions. They were attacked before and after. Countless people were hacked to death and stabbed to death by Xuzhou soldiers, and countless others were shot to death by their own bows and arrows. With no way out, these poor soldiers of Yuan Shu's army

In addition to crying loudly, they also rushed desperately to the narrow camp gate, trampling and crowding each other. Countless people were trampled to death by their companions. Countless people fell into their own trenches filled with sharp stakes and were stabbed to death.

What's worse is yet to come, because the gate of the camp is already crowded with his own defeated soldiers and the defenders. The camp gate cannot be closed at all. When Qiao Rui urgently ordered to use the gate-stopper and the sword car to push back his defeated soldiers, he could not advance or retreat.

In order to survive, the soldiers of Yuan Shu's army simply drew their swords on their own soldiers. They also tried their best to hit, push and cut down the fences of the camp, and opened the way forward for the Xuzhou army without any reward for their hard work.

There was a loud "bang", and something happened that made Qiao Rui desperate. The originally very strong camp gatehouse could not withstand the collision and hacking of his defeated soldiers, and it collapsed in a shaky state. Not only could the gate of the camp no longer be closed, but the camp gate could no longer be closed.

The archers on the archery tower also fell into the dust together, killing and injuring many of their own soldiers. The archers who fell to pieces were also trampled to death by their own defeated soldiers without exception. They were trampled to pieces. Seeing this scene

, the Xuzhou army was of course cheering, but Qiao Rui was completely desperate, "It's over, it's impossible to hold on!"

With morale boosted, Xuzhou's army of course charged more fiercely. The overwhelming enemy camp took the lead in rushing into Yuan Shu's camp. The rear troops led by Chen Dao rushed into the camp in an endless stream. Song Xian and Hou Cheng on the left and right flanks.

It was like driving sheep, driving the defeated soldiers of Yuan Shu's army to attack the fence of their own camp. They used the corpses of Yuan Shu's soldiers to fill up the trenches, and also used the corpses of Yuan Shu's soldiers to drown the sharp antlers behind the trenches to resist the horses, and then used these Yuan Shu's soldiers to attack

The fence of the camp was used to resist the bows and arrows shot from behind the fence. A river of blood flowed in front of the camp gate. Corpses piled up like mountains. Inside the camp, the sound of killing was loud and fire broke out everywhere.

The situation was over, and poor General Qiaorui had no choice but to quickly send out men to prepare the ferry and transfer as many soldiers as possible across the river. However, General Qiaorui soon received another report that made him furious. The rear camp

Seeing that the defeat was certain, Chen Kai, the defending general, took the lead in grabbing a boat to cross the river to escape. This caused the troops in the rear camp and the boatmen and sailors to completely lose their military morale. They rushed to get on the boat and cross the river. Now the ferry is on the north bank pier.

Almost all of them had been robbed, and they all crossed the Huaihe River and fled back to the south bank without being fully occupied.

In anger, Qiao Rui could only send his confidants across the river to deliver an order, ordering the guard of Zhongli City on the south bank, Wang Lun, and Chen Kai to behead immediately. He immediately organized sailors to sail across the river to assist the main force on the north bank to move across the river. At the same time, Qiao Rui

He went into battle in person and led the last three thousand elite soldiers under his command - the first to move! Qiao Rui knew the value of these elite soldiers very well. In order to leave some seeds for the future, Qiao Rui could only take the lead in fleeing for his life and try to save more.

Elite force. As for the remaining rabble, Qiao Rui can only buy time with their heads.

Zhongli guard Wang Lun did his best to do his duty. When Qiao Rui organized the last elite to rush to the ferry dock, the fleet sent by Wang Lun was about to dock at the dock, but the Yuan Shu army in the front camp could not withstand the charge of the Xuzhou army.

, have also rushed to the ferry shore to escape. Seeing the ship approaching, without waiting for orders from the bridge, the elite soldiers, auxiliary soldiers and militiamen rushed forward to grab the ship. They did not hesitate to kill each other and trample and squeeze each other in order to get on the ship.

During this time, countless soldiers fell into the water, and countless boats, large and small, were sunk by too many soldiers. Countless soldiers of Yuan Shu's army rolled and struggled in the river, drifted with the current, and disappeared into the depths of the waves. There were countless corpses floating in the river, and cries resounded on both sides of the Huaihe River.

Even Qiao Rui's boat was almost sunk by his own defeated troops. Qiao Rui personally used his sword to drive off the soldiers who were rushing onto the boat. However, these soldiers clung to the side of the boat and refused to let go. The ferry continued to sink, and Qiao Rui continued to sink.

Rui was forced to have no choice but to order the soldiers on the ship to cut off the fingers of the soldiers who climbed the side. When the soldiers raised their swords and dropped them, blood spattered and severed fingers flew around. Countless severed fingers twitched and rolled down the deck, leaving a thick layer on the deck.

, the owner of the finger fell into the river with his hands full of blood, and was swallowed by the river while crying in despair.

It rained continuously all night, but at this time, the Xuzhou army had already arrived near the pier. The Yuan Shujun soldiers crowded on the pier had no intention of resisting. They just desperately grabbed boats to cross the river and swam across the river. The water of the wide Huaihe River became a mess.

, the boats full of soldiers struggled to cross the river, and the soldiers swimming across the river floated together with the dead bodies, and the dense crowd almost covered the river. When the ferry on the bridge struggled to reach the south bank, another huge Xuzhou fleet came downstream.

Riding the wind and waves, rowing the boat quickly, heading towards the Zhongli battlefield in a mighty manner - Tao Ying had already made up his mind to defeat the enemy in one battle, so naturally before that, there was an order for Xie Yan to go to the Zhongli battlefield to cooperate in the battle.

"Set the ships on fire quickly! Set the ships on fire quickly!" Seeing the Xuzhou fleet approaching, Qiao Rui naturally yelled and ordered the fire ships that had been prepared to dispatch, but Wang Lun next to him wiped his sweat and said: "General, this

The situation is that our fire ship cannot be released. Let alone the fact that the fire ship cannot leave the dock, even if it is released, it will be difficult to reach the enemy ship. Also, we do not have enough sailors."

The bridge was stunned for a while, and when he turned back to look at the situation on the river, he saw that the pier on the south bank was indeed blocked by large and small ferries, and the fireboats tied to the shore were not allowed to enter or exit. At the same time, the middle of the river was also full of ferries and swimming boats for his own defeated soldiers.

Soldiers, even after the fire ship was released, could not maneuver flexibly, so they successfully approached the enemy ship and set fire to the ship. In despair, poor General Qiao Rui sat down on the muddy river bank, opened his mouth and said only one sentence, and then

Blood spurted out, "It's over, the Huaihe defense line is over!"
Chapter completed!
