Chapter 692 Three days and three nights (eight)
Yesterday during the day, in order to force the Vietnamese army to take the initiative to attack and achieve a plan to change families, Guirong built an earth wall on the river to cut off the water source of Desheng Town.
Judging from the subsequent results, their goal was achieved because they did successfully capture Desheng Town, and even Li Ling, an important official, was captured by them. So next, they had a further plan to completely annihilate this Vietnamese army.
But during this period, they obviously forgot that the river was still cut off, or in their opinion, such trivial matters were no longer related to the overall situation. After all, as long as tonight and the winner was decided, they did not plan to stay in the town for long. The river kept flowing, and what was the matter like that when the Vietnamese army occupied the upstream?
But they didn't know how terrible it was that they ignored - using earthen walls to cut off the river does not mean that the river water has completely stopped flowing. On the contrary, because of this obstacle, the originally calm and gentle river water has accumulated terrible power, a force that is enough to destroy the entire town and destroy the people and things inside.
When Chen Daoshou led his troops to retreat and entered the former Guirong Camp, he not only took over their ragged tents and other objects, but also took over this killing weapon. After two days and one night of accumulation, the river water was about to pour out from both sides of the straits, but it was only after the efforts of the soldiers that they blocked it back.
Yes, when the Guirong people were busy repairing the fortifications in the town, the Vietnamese army, which seemed to have done nothing, were actually busy. They were repairing the river embankment and controlling the river water within the river channel. What they did was to simmer Desheng Town tonight!
Chen Daoshou is not that easy to retreat. Even if the other party threatened Li Ling, he retreated because he knew that he did not have the upper hand in the face of his own. In fact, although he had a friendship with Li Ling, he was not as good as giving up his business for him. In his eyes, as long as he could win and kill the enemy, sacrificing Li Ling was nothing.
So at this moment, he made the decision to plunder the wall and release water and rush the town without hesitation. And when this order was really implemented, there was another dispute in the town, which gave him even more confidence.
The river rushes down, like being locked in a cage for a long time, and finally being able to display the beasts that can be used, mercilessly destroying all the wooden fortifications in front of the town, and even rushing many of the Gui Rong soldiers hiding behind, screaming in surprise.
In just a short moment, Gui Rong's arrangement here was destroyed. The soldiers who had not had time to gather were running around, and together with the people, they had no idea how to deal with this disaster.
At this moment, a greater movement sounded from the front, and hundreds of Vietnamese troops finally took advantage of the situation and shouted, launching a frontal attack on the enemy again. This time, with a big water opening, their front was completely smooth. The originally fierce Guirong cavalry all ran around like headless flies, all of which became their pursuit and slashing targets.
When they rushed into the town, the enemy could not show decent resistance, so they were destroyed and killed. Until they rushed into the center of the town, they encountered more than a hundred tribal warriors led by Hetura himself. Their momentum of progress was stopped, and then another close-killing battle.
When the Dayue government army came again, the people who were already obedient finally inspired a last bit of fighting spirit and turned around without hesitation and slaughtered at the abominable enemies. Not long ago, their friends, their relatives, and even fathers and sons were killed by these abominable barbarians. Now it is time to take revenge and make them pay the price.
Although these people have no weapons in their hands, when they completely let go and pounce on them desperately, their fists, hands, feet, heads, and teeth have become weapons that can attack the enemy. They either go against two or three people or five or six people, as long as they are given a chance, they will give the enemy the most fatal damage.
Some Gui Rong soldiers just pulled out their swords and were held tightly by others. Then more people rushed forward, punched and kicked, and bite their necks. In just a short moment, they could lose the power of fighting and even die directly.
The battle continued in such a chaotic but cruel way. The Vietnamese army was fighting for their lives, the Guirong people were fighting for their lives, and even the people were fighting for their lives.
When all this fell into Li Ling's eyes in the forest, he was a little dazed. He had never thought that the battle would be so direct and cruel. Then, a sensational aura rushed straight to his head, wishing he could join in this melee and kill all the invading Guirong people with everyone.
Fortunately, Yang Chen and Yang Zhen, who was injured, were still awake while escaping into the forest while taking advantage of the chaos, finally grabbed Li Ling: "Sir, the situation is chaotic at this time, so it is safest to stay here. Our responsibility is to protect the food and supplies, but killing the enemy is the responsibility of the border army."
After they persuaded him, Li Ling calmed down a little, but he looked at the melee not far away and was still a little anxious: "You guys say, can we really win this time? Also, will the bandits on the Jinzhou Green Forest Road that I had been worried about before appearing at this critical moment?"
"Sir, don't worry too much. At least there should be no other soldiers nearby now. We have an absolute advantage in the town. I think it won't take long to make Gui Rong collapse!" Yang Chen gave his own judgment. As for some basis, it's hard to say.
But the subsequent development proved that what he said was indeed reasonable. As people continued to fall, and as Gui Rong and the others found that they were about to fall into the vast ocean of the Great Vietnamese military and civilians, they were really scared. So, these people, which were just temporarily pieced together, scattered and did not go head-on with the Vietnamese army, avoided the people who continued to rush towards them, and turned around and ran out of the town.
This is like a domino. When the first domino falls, it will form a chain reaction, bringing dozens or hundreds of dominoes behind it to fall down together. When the morale of the Guirong people is bleak, they no longer care about anything else. They are all just rushing to escape from the town and fleeing to the dark plains like a stray dog.
If you are lucky, you can still ride a horse to escape. You can use this to distance yourself from the enemy and finally escape to save your life. However, if you are less lucky, you will be chased and killed after leaving the town and eventually die in constant attacks.
As for Hetulai and others, they also collapsed in a hurry in the midst of these consecutive changes and collapses and escaped. When Chen Daoshou wanted to organize the troops to pursue him, he found that even their shadow could not be found.
So in the end, all he could do was to clean up the entire town and kill all the Guirong people he could meet. This time, they didn't even want half of the prisoner, just to vent their anger to kill the enemy.
When the sky was brighter and the sun shone, the small Desheng Town had already spread everywhere, blood flowing, penetrated with the river water, almost dyeing the entire ground red.
It was not until this time that it was confirmed that the battle ended with the victory of the Vietnamese army that Li Ling, under the escort of the Yang brothers, returned to the town with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
This time they came back, they immediately attracted the attention of the military and civilians in the town. Chen Daoshou even left everything behind when he heard the news and hurriedly came over: "Mr. Li, you have to make it easy for me to find it. I am really afraid that you will have something in the chaos..."
His words were considered sincere. Although this sneak attack from the water was to trap Li Ling in a sense, it did not mean that he did not care about the safety of the high-ranking official of the court. Li Ling could understand his decision and smiled and said, "I am finally in danger this time. To be honest, I have to say that thanks to you for launching the attack in time, otherwise, Yang Chen and Yang Zhen, brothers, I, would be attacked and killed by them."
After Li Ling's brief description, Chen Daoshou realized that the chaos in the town was caused by them. This made him feel a little more moved and he looked up to the three of them. In such a situation, he still wanted to live in death, which shows how tenacious Li Ling and the others are.
After saying everything he should have said, Li Ling remembered something more important: "By the way, have you found his whereabouts by Li Moyun who has been with me?"
"He was recovering from the house there. When he found him, he found that he was seriously injured..." Chen Daoshou said in a solemn tone. Li Moyun's condition was indeed very bad. He had fought all his battles to protect Li Ling before, but Li Ling was not injured, but he was seriously injured and bloody.
Afterwards, he was arranged by Gui Rongren for a good life. If he hadn't had a strong foundation, he would have died of serious injuries. Then when chaos arose in the town, he wanted to find Li Ling's whereabouts, so he fought several times in the chaos, causing his injuries to be even more injured. If Chen Daoshou hadn't led his troops to kill him in time, he would have been afraid that he would have died under the siege of the enemy.
Hearing this, Li Ling didn't care about anything else, and immediately rushed to the room over there, slammed open the door. He saw Li Moyun, who had just been treated with a wound, was sleeping on the bed like a rice dumpling. He leaned forward and took a closer look. After confirming that he had no worries about his life, he breathed a sigh of relief before he rushed in, and then saluted Chen Daoshou, who followed the door solemnly: "Thank you, General Chen, for saving Mo Yun!"
"Mr. Li doesn't have to be too polite. This is my duty. To be honest, I admire Brother Li and I very much for a good man like Brother Li. If you can save him, you will naturally save him." Chen Daoshou looked at Li Moyun with appreciation. As a general of the border army, what he values most is such a loyal and righteous act.
