Kai Fu Han

Chapter 137 The decisive battle with Zhishan 3
The defeated soldiers, who were just trying to survive, no longer recognized any of their relatives.

The coalition infantry formation in the middle did not dare to step forward to block it. They could only shout at the defeated troops and run past both sides of the infantry formation, leaving an infantry formation in the middle to meet the impact of the two infantry formations of the Xinghan Alliance.

The two infantry formations following the broken troops only had three rows left, and the crossbowmen stood in place loading arrows.

The infantry formation of the Xinghan League had sword and shield bearers in front, spearmen at the back, and three rows of infantry rushed forward quickly.

"Draw a short gun!!"

Liu Xinang ordered.

The pikemen in the last two rows handed their long guns to their left hands, and with their right hands took out the short guns from the gun pouch behind their backs and held them in their hands (when their arms were drooping, the tip of the gun faced backwards).

After the front row of swordsmen and shieldmen withstood a wave of arrows, the Xinghan League infantry formation approached about ten steps from the coalition's middle square formation. The second row of spearmen was less than fifteen steps away from the coalition's formation.

Continuously advancing, the three rows of infantry have opened up the distance between them, ensuring that the long gunners can stretch their bodies and throw short guns.

"Prepare!"

After hearing the order to prepare, the spearman will raise the lance above his head and behind him (after raising it, the tip of the lance will advance).

"projection!"

After the projection order, the two rows of long gunners projected the short guns in their right hands forward with all their strength.

The short spears projected are very powerful and heavy. At a distance of about fifteen steps, the short spears of ordinary soldiers can penetrate the shields of the swordsmen and shieldmen in the front row of the coalition infantry square. The short spears of the warrior officers can even penetrate the soldiers behind the shields. through.

The defense of the coalition infantry formation was directly disrupted by this wave of short guns.

"Hand-to-hand combat!!"

Liu Xinang pulled out his long sword, raised it high, and shouted loudly.

The two rows of pikemen immediately held their spears in both hands, rushed a few steps, rushed past the guard of the sword and shield hands in the front row, and stabbed the long spears in their hands towards the enemy's chest.

Then the melee began.

The Xinghan League basically maintained a three-talent formation of one sword and shield soldier and two spear soldiers to ensure that orderly organization was maintained in the chaotic close combat.

After entering the melee, the two rows of crossbowmen who followed had filled their quivers with arrows again. When they advanced to within twenty steps of the melee battlefield, they pulled the cocking rod and started shooting freely.

The coalition soldiers not only had to deal with the melee attacks of the Xinghan League soldiers, but also had to be careful of the hidden arrows of the crossbow archers. Attacked by both sides, the coalition soldiers, who were not elite in the first place, began to be shaken and defeated.

When the two armies in the middle started fighting, the infantry formations on both sides of the Xinghan League also marched to the flanking infantry formations of the coalition forces. The coalition infantry formations on the flanks had been dealing with the harassment of the Xinghan League cavalry battalion. With the addition of an infantry formation, they were immediately fighting on two sides. status.

The coalition infantry facing the Xinghan League infantry formation wanted to adjust their formation, but the coalition infantry facing the cavalry battalion was unable to move. The originally tight formation was torn apart by itself.

Seeing the opportunity, the cavalry battalion directly formed a forward formation and rushed in through the gap in the coalition infantry formation.

At this point in the battle, the three-county coalition forces were close to being defeated across the board. The soldiers on the battlefield who were torn apart by Xinghan League soldiers from all walks of life did not know their generals and could not control their troops.

The rout started from the contact point between the two armies and spread towards the rear until the entire line was rout.

"Let the newly recruited militiamen go see the blood and accept the prisoners." Seeing that the victory was determined, Liu Xinqi arranged for Luo Cheng next to him.

After hearing the order, Luo Cheng turned back, entered the recruit camp behind, and began to assign tasks to each recruit general.

After a while, the new soldiers were led by the veterans. In a small team of ten, they began to chase and gather the fleeing coalition soldiers.

The Penglai Defense War finally ended victoriously.

Liu Xinqi breathed a sigh of relief.This Penglai defense battle not only demonstrated the bravery and unity of the Xinghan League, but also caused very few casualties, which is considered the best result.

"You continue to organize and clean up the battlefield."

Liu Xinqi arranged for Luo Cheng.

"Okay, once the prisoners are taken, we'll start cleaning up the battlefield."

Luo Cheng replied.

"Send the cavalry to chase west to see if we can catch those officials." Liu Xinqi made the final arrangement.

……

June 29, the lobby of the Xinghan League headquarters.

Liu Xingang, director of the Military Selection Department, was reporting on the previous day's battle situation.

"In this battle of Zhishan, 400 combat personnel from our side and 300 combat personnel from the third-line coalition participated."

"A total of 300 enemies were annihilated and 700 were captured. Huangxian County Lieutenant, Laiyang County Lieutenant and Dengzhou Tongzhi were captured. The Yexian County Lieutenant escaped but could not be captured."

"We lost 150 people and injured 540 people, including 160 people seriously injured."

"Seized [-] tents, [-] horses, weapons and knives..."

When Liu Xinqi heard that there were so many seriously injured people, he opened the system and checked. Last time, the system counted all the population of Penglai into the Xinghan League's sphere of influence. This victory did not increase his reputation.

And now a general card has a thousand reputations, which is too expensive.

You can only withdraw the general card from the person who has attached the general card and use it to save people.

With this in mind, Liu Xingang has reported to the end:
"I wonder if the alliance leader still has the magic power to cast a spell? It will be used to save these seriously injured soldiers."

"No, but it can be drawn from soldiers who have already cast spells, and it can be done immediately after the meeting." Liu Xinqi replied.

Then Liu Xinqi arranged the work for the next few days.

The Martial Arts Department counted the merits of each person in the Battle of Shizikou, the Battle of Mafushan, and the decisive battle of Zhishan in the Penglai Defense War, and will hold a commendation meeting later.

Zhou Xinyuan, Director of the Ceremony Department, is responsible for preparing for the collective funeral of soldiers who died in the Penglai Defense Battle.The location is still Red Rock Mountain at Baishi Bend, and the time is July [-]nd.

When they set out to plunder the Liaodong Peninsula, they promised to give one-third of the rewards to the soldiers who participated in the battle. This reward only included gold, silver, grain and other property seized, and warships, population, etc. were not included.

Arrange the Logistics Department Liu Lisheng to be responsible for statistics of the seizures in the battles of Liaodong Peninsula, Mafushan and Zhishan.One-third of the total amount will be taken out and divided among the officers and soldiers participating in the war according to their ranks, and the logistics personnel will be paid according to five points of the officers and soldiers participating in the war.

Liu Lizhen of the Military Management Department was responsible for recruiting and training the new army. He first replenished the gaps in the navy and infantry who were killed in the Penglai defense battle as soon as possible to ensure the establishment of 5000 naval personnel and 600 infantry and cavalry personnel.Then recruit enough 2000 recruits based on the existing recruits and start recruit training, which lasts for two months.

……

After the meeting, Liu Xinqi went to the wounded barracks and mobilized 160 seven one-star army infantry soldiers. He took back the general cards on these people and gave them to the 160 seven seriously injured soldiers.

Recruiting a general card now has [-] reputations, and recharging one possession requires [-] reputations. Recharging is much more cost-effective than recruiting.

While visiting the wounded soldiers, they also inspected the environment of their residence. Although it had reached the standards of a field hospital according to Liu Xinqi's requirements, it was still far behind a formal hospital. A formal hospital needed to be built as soon as possible to provide the wounded with better care. Heal the environment.
