Chapter 1871 The soul of the army is immortal
After a day and night of fierce battle, the Jinqi Camp blocked the Wu army's hundreds of attacks and always firmly held the last line of defense in Shiting, making the Wu army unable to cross.
But the price was also extremely heavy. The reduction of personnel in the Jinqi Battalion was very serious. Nearly 70% of its troops were killed or seriously injured, and less than 30% of them were still fighting. Moreover, after fierce battles, most of the soldiers had exhausted their physical strength. No one could be made of iron and copper. They also needed to eat and rest. However, the Wu army's attacks came one after another, and they did not give the Wei army a chance to breathe. In continuous battles, let alone rest, they did not even have time to eat dry food and drink water.
Moreover, in order to resist the crazy attack of the Wu army, Zhang Tong had already pushed all the reserves, and the fire-headed soldiers, baggage soldiers and horses were all incorporated into the battle sequence. The cavalry camp gave all their money, and it was only in exchange for a day and night of persistence.
But this is really at the end of the power. Although the Wu army has suspended the attack in full swing, Zhang Tong knew that the brief calm caused a greater storm, and it was almost dawn. There is no doubt that after dawn, the Wu army will launch a larger attack, which will also become the last battle of the Jinqi Camp in Shiting.
Zhang Tong took a deep breath. Since it was the last battle, let him fight vigorously. Due to the limitations of the terrain, the Jinqi Battalion was originally a cavalry division, but it was used as infantry. This obviously made the Jinqi cavalry, who were usually used to training and fighting on horseback, feel quite uncomfortable.
But this is also helpless. If the Jinqi Battalion wants to complete the blocking mission, it must give up its immediate advantage and rely on the dangerous terrain to fight position defense. Otherwise, a round of impact will be very good. However, no matter how powerful the more than 10,000 cavalrymen are, they will never be able to defeat the 100,000 infantry of the Wu army. If there is no position defense to block the Wu army, the Wu army will probably have fled long ago.
But Zhang Tong is also very clear about the current situation. If the Wu army launches a large-scale attack after dawn, the final line of defense will definitely not be able to defend. Instead of fighting with the Wu army on the position until death, it is better to just let go. Although the Jinqi Camp is not one of the main forces of the three major cavalry of the Wei army, they also have their own dignity and glory. As cavalrymen, they die on horseback, which is their greatest honor.
Seeing the horses being led over, the cavalrymen suddenly shone with a strange brilliance in their originally decayed and dim eyes, as if they were drinking a dose of heart-boosting medicine. The fatigue and listlessness were swept away, radiant and energetic.
Zhang Tong said loudly: "The men of Jinqi Camp, this is your last battle, heroes and cowards. In this last battle, I would rather die standing than live on my knees! Pick up your weapons and ride your war horses, so that these Wu Gou know that Jinqi Camp is invincible. Even if none of us can survive today, the military spirit of Jinqi Camp will be immortal and will last forever!"
"The military soul is immortal! It is immortal!" The powerful cavalry jumped onto the horse's back one by one, waved swords and guns, and roared loudly, shaking loudly, shaking the sky.
Zhang Tong looked to the position of the Wu army to the north. At this time, the sky was getting brighter. The Wu army teams at the foot of the mountain had begun to gather. The mountains were covered with dense crowds, like locusts passing through the border, filling the entire valley.
It is estimated that the Wu army has no patience and time to spend it any more. The scale of the Wu army's attack this time is unprecedentedly huge, far exceeding the previous hundreds of attacks. It seems that the Wu army has come out this time and put all its troops into the attack.
They also saw the urgency of the situation, and at the same time they felt that the Wei army had reached the point where the lights were gone, so they decided to try their best and open the Shiting's defense line as quickly as possible.
Compared with the Wu soldiers with thousands of cavalry, the lineup seemed much smaller, but Zhang Tong had no hesitation in his eyes, just as calmly when Zhang Liao faced 100,000 Wu soldiers with 800 people.
Although Zhang Tong has been living a leisurely life in his childhood, lying on the merits of his ancestors, the blood of warriors flows in his bones. This battle will surely be Zhang Tong's battle for himself, proving that he is definitely not a three-generation official who is just waiting to die.
Zhang Tong slowly pulled out the saber. In the morning glory, the blade was shining with cold light, which was breathtaking. Zhang Tong recalled that he and His Majesty Cao Liang were together in the palace as Yulinlang. At that time, he was still standing side by side with Cao Liang and called his brothers. At that time, they were young and in their prime. In a blink of an eye, twenty years of change of life and change of things, but Zhang Tong never forgot this memory that was sealed in his heart.
"Your Majesty, being able to be brothers with you is the greatest honor in my life. I hope that I will still be your brother in the next life!" Zhang Tong said silently.
Although Cao Liang was just as unknown as him at that time, not everyone was qualified to be brothers with Cao Liang. Zhang Tong remembered that in the Yulin Army, only he and Cao Liang had a close relationship. They had a very shallow relationship. I am afraid that Zhang Tong would never have dreamed that his colleague and brother would be able to ascend to the position of the Nine Five Lord in the future. This matter alone would be enough for Zhang Tong to blast for the rest of his life.
But the more this happens, the less Zhang Tong dares to relax. If the world knows that His Majesty’s former brother was a person who was greedy for life and fear of death, it would be a shame for His Majesty’s wisdom.
In this battle, even if Zhang Tong fought his life, he would never fall into his reputation for a lifetime. He raised his saber high and shouted loudly: "Kill!" He took the lead and rushed down the hillside and rushed towards the dense Wu army.
More than 5,000 strong cavalry also followed Zhang Tong tightly and rushed down the mountain with a rainbow of momentum.
The Wu army and the Jinqi Battalion fought for a day and a night, and basically did not see a single war horse. Naturally, in their subconscious, they regarded the Wei army as infantry. Moreover, the Wei army almost fought and retreated, and had never launched such a large-scale counter-charge. Therefore, when the Jinqi Battalion rushed towards them, all the Wu soldiers were confused.
Originally, the Jinqi Camp was condescending, but at this moment, thousands of horses galloped and roared, and there was a momentum of Mount Tai pressing the top. Before the Wu army could react, the Jinqi cavalry had already reached the forefront and covered them up. They were as powerful as the road, killing the Wu army, and fled in a panic.
Originally, the cavalry had a natural advantage in fighting in infantry and cavalry. In addition, due to the limitation of terrain, the Wu army could not have deployed too many people at once. The Jinqi Camp swept across the road with a high-level view, showing the advantages of the cavalry to the fullest.
