1429 Bloodbathed in the rising sun

The harsh winter climate of Hebei is a big test for many Wang Shi soldiers. Although it took a long time to prepare for this final counteroffensive, it was inevitable that all kinds of cold materials on the front line would be urgent, and in order to relieve the pressure on logistics, some plans for continuous troop reinforcement had to be suspended.

Fortunately, although the climate was cold, there was no heavy snow for several days, which saved the soldiers from the suffering of the snowstorm. And this day is also beneficial to the defenders of the Karma Kingdom, and there is no restriction on the movement of the cavalry because of the snow problem, and the benefits of the time for the Karma side are even greater.

The Wangshi Great Array kept advancing day and night, although the speed was very slow, but the momentum was very firm, although as it approached more and more Xiangguo City, the resistance from the Xiangguo Kingdom was greater, but because the Qiang army could not shake the foundation of the Great Array, it could not completely stop the approach of the Wang Division.

Although the battles are becoming more and more frequent, they are all small-scale regional battles, and the advance of the Wang Division seems to be hard, but in fact, because of the deployment of the dogs' teeth, more than half of the troops can always be kept to recuperate in turns, and the consumption of pawn power is much smaller.

However, the scale of the cavalry of the Kingdom of Qian is not small, which is always a hidden danger for Wang Shi. Although the Eight Formations of the King Division are powerful, they are more focused on defense and lack of offensiveness. If it really talks about the combat effectiveness in the field, it is still not comparable to the cavalry army of the Qiang Kingdom.

At this point in the war, the gains and losses of each city and place had become unimportant, and the elimination of the living forces that were still resisting the kingdom had become the primary military goal.

However, the Karma army did not go out of the city to fight a decisive battle, and attacked the eight formations of the Wang Division, and there was no heavy snowfall, which prevented the Karma army from going out in the city.

At present, all he can do is to maintain the advance of the main force, and at the same time, with the conditions that the cavalry strength of the Wang Division is also replenished, as much as possible in the front battle.

However, the cavalry, as a high-mobility clutch group, can be defeated or easily, and it is also difficult to increase the number of enemies killed, and in such an engagement, the cavalry strength of the king division is inevitably lost.

However, things seem to have finally taken a turn for the better, since a few days ago, both the frequency of attacks and the number of fighters have increased significantly, and the attacking army is no longer limited to the frontline of the guerrilla, there is no shortage of attempts to rush into the formation to wander around, obviously groping for the specific situation in the big array.

However, the efforts of the Qiang army in this regard were destined to be in vain, there were many changes within the eight formations, and the camp layout changed almost every day, and even the main general of the Wang Division, Xie Ai, even the battalion owners of the various armies did not know how they were laid out.

For each battalion, they don't need to think about the layout of the surrounding camps, they just need to accept the orders of the Chinese army and be able to implement them. This is a matter that practice makes perfect, even if there is some jerky in the early stage, with the actual combat training during this time, the cooperation is becoming more and more flexible.

This move seemed to show that they had had enough of the torment of boiling warm water, and planned to launch a decisive battle with a large army. This was naturally good news for Wang Shi, after all, their main target was not the Xiangguo City in front of them, but the troops of the Qian army stationed in the city.

Xie Ai was not lacking in excitement about this, he had been waiting for such an opportunity to be able to annihilate the enemy on a large scale, because he not only stationed himself in the Chinese army, but also ordered to slow down the pace of advancement, so that the soldiers in the front line could raise enough combat strength, and at the same time, some of the killing methods in the large array were also arranged, just waiting for the army to attack.

The battle began at a meager dawn in the morning, there were still cold stars hanging in the sky, and several of the military forts in the south of Xiangguo City suddenly opened their doors, and with the sound of drums, iron hooves came out, trampling and crushing the thick frost on the ground.

As soon as they left the city, they rushed straight to the Jin army camp a few miles away, each looking for a target, and launched a fierce attack.

At this time, the sky will not be bright, and the long-distance vision will still be limited to a certain extent.

Ma Qiu's choice to launch a general attack at this time is also a long time to weigh, although the night attack can weaken the Jin army's large array to a greater extent, but the night attack has higher requirements for itself, the Jin army camp is intricately arranged, there are many killing tricks to appease, the troops can not be coordinated, in this case, the attack will be doubled.

At dawn, the light is weak, the Jin army's peripheral camp can not be coordinated and defended, the sudden attack can be broken individually, and when it is dawn, the first battle is victorious, and it can also inspire the morale of the army to the greatest extent, so that the soldiers realize that the Jin army's strong camp is not enough to trouble, and then plan the general attack The effect is naturally the best, and the chance of victory is also great.

Although he was forced out of the battle, Ma Qiu also had great expectations for this battle, and the forward five thousand men and horses each attacked a battalion, and he also personally sat in the rear, and the rear troops were assembled, ready to put their forces into the battlefield at any time. Although he can't do Xie Ai's strong control over the whole army, he has been an old enemy for many years, and he has come to the battlefield to watch and command, and he has no lack of intentions to compete with Xie Ai.

Wang Shi had long been prepared for the offensive of the Karma army, especially the battalions on the front line were in the most dangerous area, almost unable to disconnect, and they were on guard all night.

The front line of the king's division was laid out, and 300 people formed a small battalion by themselves, as the front line of the advance, there was no solid and stable camp, and most of them formed formations with various chariots, forming a corner with each other, and each controlled the surrounding range of several miles.

After many days of fighting, the Qian army also had a lot of understanding of the layout of the outer camp of the Wang Division, and once it broke into the firing range, the team was easy to disperse in the field, and the formation was extremely scattered to offset the strong bows and arrows of the Jin army.

This preventive effect was immediate, and although Wang Shifeng's counterattack was timely and swift, most of the arrows fell into the wild, and the lethality they could cause was very limited.

Although some knights were shot and dropped during the rush of the Karma army, it was inconspicuous in this scattered formation, and the vast majority of them rushed through this most dangerous death zone.

And in the process of rushing in, their formation gradually condensed, especially in the front position, dozens of pawns stared at the fierce car formation of the Jin army in front, and after rushing into a certain distance, many people suddenly turned over and fell off their horses, some were picked up by the rear knights, and some rolled to the ground, and then curled up and crawled.

Those horses without knights, the momentum is still rapid, the horse's eyes are blindfolded, there is no idea what the road ahead, such as rushing, the whole horse body hit the antlers that look extremely hideous and reject the horses, the huge momentum brought a huge impact to the front, and even the chariots were directly knocked over, so that there was a gap in the defense line.

The Jin army's armament is too strong, and the barracks are like hedgehogs with sharp thorns, and if they want to smash it in a short time, the only way to do it is to be so tragic and swift.

Seeing that the strikers had burst into blood from all directions, Ma Qiu's eyes couldn't help but have a trace of compassion, if it was possible, he would not be willing to use such a tragic offensive method, but Zhang Hedu was pressing step by step, and there was not much time left for him.

Moreover, Xiangguo maintains such a large scale of cavalry, the consumption of grain and grass is also massive, and the supply assistance that Xindu can provide is also getting less and less, if it continues to drag on, even if these war horses do not die on the battlefield, they will inevitably be slaughtered for food, and they will really not be able to raise them.

Such a tragic attack was indeed effective, two of the Jin army camps were directly shaken out of the obvious gap, Ma Qiu caught a trace of the fighter, quickly raised his hand, and suddenly rushed out of the rear two thousand cavalry teams, rushing towards these two battlefields!

Between the small camps in front of the Wang Division, each of them was divided into horns and three talents, and in the two small camps that were rushed out of the gap, the soldiers were already completely exposed under the iron hooves of the Karma army, although they were still shooting back with bows and crossbows, but the arrows of the Karma army also poured in, and the casualties began to rise sharply.

There were even cavalry cavalry rushing to the breach, brandishing spears and halberds to stab left and right, and soon the entire camp was drenched in blood. But the battalion sergeants did not flinch, although they did not have the chariot to shelter, but they still had iron armor and steel swords, the camp was narrow, not suitable for the cavalry to attack vertically and horizontally, the soldiers of the Wang division formed their own array, fearless to die and swung their swords to pounce on the cavalry of the Qiang army that poured in from the gap.

At the same time, the two camps that formed horns against each other also began to shoot with strength, and the soldiers and soldiers who were surrounded in the front camp began to fall down in large numbers, and one of the camps used long poles and cymbals to pull the corpses of the dead soldiers and horses in battle, and in a very short time, they built a terrible wall with these flesh and blood, and once again filled this gap!

But there was no such good luck in the other camp, the battalion owner bore the brunt of the battle and died, without the guidance of the order, and the battalion did not organize a battle formation to counterattack in time, as the soldiers continued to pour in from the gap, they could only fall into a bloody melee.

Although the other two horn camps were rescued, the effect of the rescue gradually weakened as the Qiang army gradually rushed into the camp behind the chariot formation.

Ma Qiu quickly sensed the advantage of this battlefield, and once again waved his hand to send a thousand cavalry to help, and sent three thousand cavalry before and after, not only to capture this small battalion with only 300 people garrisoned, but also to take advantage of the situation to uproot the surrounding Jin army battalions, and continue to expand the results on this basis! The Jin army camp is twisted and twisted, once a corner of the camp collapses, the impact will definitely affect the whole situation!

Of course, the Jin army's counterattack means will not be to the mutual coordination between the camps, the battlefield disadvantage here is obvious, the rear camp sounded a rapid drum, not far away all the way Wang Division cavalry has been fully equipped, a full two thousand troops rushed straight into the battlefield, the rear road of the Qian army galloped to the aid of the thousand cavalry, by this road Wang Division cavalry directly rushed to the flank, cut off the waist.

At this time, it is only more than half an hour before the start of the war, the fish white in the eastern sky is still a line, and there is only a little change in the hidden cold stars on the canopy, but the battle on the battlefield has become extremely fierce, and the time for ordinary people to savor a cup of tea has already been more than a thousand soldiers spilling blood on the battlefield, and it is destined not to see the rising sun that is about to come out!
