Chapter Eighty-Eight: The South Shore 2
No change
Looking across Makizawa, the huge Daliang Castle towers over the vast snowfield, giving people a majestic vision. This city of more than 100 years has been the center of the world since its establishment, where the Wei State is strong, where merchants gather, where traffic is connected, and where culture is spread. At this time, the embers of this majestic city in the heart of the world were not extinguished, and when the black smoke drifted to the height of the city wall, it was blown to the south of the city by the fierce north wind, and finally spread over Makizawa and dissipated on the south bank of Makizawa.
This is the battlefield where the Qin and Chu cavalry are fighting, and the Xiang division, who was in full swing before, can only gather into a formation at this moment and resist the Qin cavalry's rush by foot combat. Otherwise, once he is divided by Qin Qi, who is several times his own, the result will inevitably be more than lucky.
However, the knights ran out of spears, and they couldn't hold on long without long soldiers. The military formation only relied on some knights who were still able to fight to fight with the Qin cavalry who rushed outside the infantry formation, preventing it from attacking the infantry formation of its own army, which only had a long sword. The corpses are scattered, and the horses are galloping. The Qin cavalry ran around the Chu army, and the Chu army also ran around their own army, and the war horses on both sides trampled on countless snow foams.
More than ten miles away, Xiong Jing, who was speeding up, saw such a scene. Although there were a large number of Qin cavalry, Xiang Liang fought with the Qin people in a step formation, which made him feel angry in his heart. However, thinking that Xiang Liang had come to the rescue of his own army, and there should be wounded soldiers in the infantry who could not retreat, his anger was suppressed again.
"Da Ao ......" Fei Jing's hand pointed to the west, where a cavalry was like the cavalry of the Chu army that had spread out a horizontal formation, stepping on the snow and dust in the sky, and running quickly.
"Yiqu Duck!" Xiong Jing was very familiar with the big flag in the center of the Qin cavalry array, it was the banner of the Yiqu people, and it was the Yiqu Duck sitting in the wide chariot with four horses under the banner. "This Hu Chief!" He scolded severely.
He and Yiqu Yu are also old acquaintances, ten years of Chen Ying's battle Yiqu Yu first arrived in Chu State, and then the two clashed several times, the closest one The two also sat in the same tent and drank. I haven't seen him for ten years, and this Hu chief, who is keen on enjoyment, is still used to fighting in a chariot, which is still luxuriously painted, but the people on it are much older.
"Da Ao?" The cavalry of the Chu army all took the three-headed phoenix flag as the guideline, and the phoenix flag pointed to the north before, which was intended to relieve the siege of Xiangliang. Now a Qin cavalry is rushing from the west, and if the Chu army does not turn to the west, the left flank will be surrounded by the Qin cavalry rushing from the west.
"You lead a group to rescue Xiang Liang." Xiong Jing ordered. The distance between the two cavalry formations was still several miles, but the cavalry formation was not as good as the infantry formation, and soon the cavalry array led by Yiqu Yu would rush forward.
"Yui." Fei Jing rode out on horseback, and a wedge-shaped formation followed him north. When he ran out of three miles away, in the sound of the trumpet, the phoenix flag suddenly pointed westward.
The Qin army rode from the west, and the Chu army naturally had to go west to meet the enemy. Seeing the flag of the Chinese army pointing westward, the cavalry on the right flank accelerated to turn westward, and the left flank reined in the horse from a fast pace to a slow step, waiting for the entire cavalry formation to change formation.
The power of the cavalry lies in the speed, only a few miles away from the Chu army's cavalry array, Yiqu Lu saw that the left flank of the Chu army slowed down, and was unwilling to let go of this opportunity, he stood up from the chariot and shouted to the left and right wings, and the cavalry on both sides suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the Chu army. Xiong Jing couldn't help sneering at this, even if the Qin army was equipped with flax armor, he shouldn't be so arrogant to hedge against himself. He waited quietly for the right flank to maneuver, and when the Qin people rushed a mile away, he ordered the trumpeter on his side to blow the trumpet.
The sound of the trumpet was more melodious than the sound of the drum, and in the melodious sound of the trumpet, Xiong Jing pulled down his mask and began to accelerate, and the knights of the Chu army behind him followed him to speed up. The snow foamed everywhere, the earth trembled under the trampling of the horse's hooves, and the whole horizon also rose and fell with the gallop of the war horse. At a distance of forty paces, the oncoming enemy cavalry fired a dense rain of arrows, which did no harm to the heavy cavalry, and could only injure the lightly protected horses.
Xiong Jing and the Guards Knight were both heavily armoured, and the war horse under his crotch was replaced by a trained heavy horse. The arrows rained down on the centaurs, and they didn't feel anything, and they couldn't even hear a sound. When the horses galloped, the armor of men and horses made a brittle sound, which drowned out the sound of arrows hitting the armor. In the midst of this crisp sound, Xiong Jing aimed at the enemy horseman, and raised his spear little by little.
Yiqulu's luxurious chariot did not rush ahead of the cavalry formation, and after the cavalry formation, although there were many Hu cavalry guards in front of the chariot, he still instinctively sensed the danger. It was not the first time that the cavalry of the Chu army had listed a wedge-shaped formation to attack the enemy formation, he knew the power of this battle formation, and under the anxious words, more Hu cavalry was summoned by him to the front of the car, in a vain attempt to avoid the impact of the heavy cavalry of the Chu army.
"Drive!" Less than twenty paces away, Xiong Jing suddenly accelerated, the cavalry spear in his hand had been flattened, and the shield on the left side blocked most of his body, ready to meet a cavalry soldier on the opposite side who rushed forward with a spear.
Cavalry is a brave class, and each attack kills 1,000 enemies and loses 800 themselves. The decisive battle of cavalry was not about numbers, weapons, but about morale. In most cases, the demoralized side will collapse before engagement, turning the opposing side's charge into a pursuit, or the two sides will stagger and fight each other when they are hedged. There are only very few cases where the real war horse will rush to the war horse, and the riding formation will turn into a hand-to-hand combat.
Yiqulu did not dare to rush in front of the cavalry formation and hid behind the cavalry formation, while the Chu army rushed into the enemy formation under his own leadership. In terms of morale, the Chu army had already suppressed the other party, if it weren't for the fact that the knights and knights couldn't do knee to knees, and there was a gap between the enemy horsemen passing through, I believe that the Qin people would have turned their horses and fled to the rear.
Seeing the enemy horse getting closer and closer, Xiong Jing sneered in his mask, and then his smile quickly froze, because the cavalry spear held by the other party had already pointed downward, aiming not at him but at the war horse under his crotch.
Fortunately, Xiong Jing has not forgotten that his mount has been trained in heavy riding, and the biggest difference between heavy riding and light riding is that the ability of heavy riding to cross obstacles is stronger than that of light riding, so that heavy riding can cross the enemy's rejection of horses or chariots. The enemy horseman's spear pressed down heavily, and Xiong Jingjia clamped his legs on the horse's belly and shouted heavily. The crotch-galloping mount reacted swiftly to the rider's command, and it jumped up as if reflexively aimed at the heavily pressed spear.
The other party didn't expect the war horse to jump and dodge, but he didn't expect that the war horse in heavy armor could be so agile and jump so high, and it was too late to raise the spear in the gallop. With a 'bang', Xiong Jing's riding spear crossed the shield and hit his left chest, the flax armor that could defend against the armor-piercing heavy arrow could not resist the faster and heavier riding spear, Xiong Jing could feel the spear strike the opponent's ribs before letting go, and then pierced into a cavity without resistance.
When the "Lahu ......" rider landed, the Yiqu Duck who was sitting on the Yiqu Duck stood on the Yiqu Duck and shouted. As he shouted, Xiong Thorn's five-foot sword was aimed at him. The heavy cavalry behind Xiong Jing smashed through the oncoming enemy cavalry like a sword breaking through a bamboo. At this time, Yiqu Lu's car suddenly turned around, because the turn was too sharp, this luxurious car almost rolled over while splashing a piece of snow foam on the snow, but fortunately, Yiqu Lu was fat enough, this fat man stabilized the car with his body, and then fled under the escort of many Hu Qi.
The left flank of the Chu army had engaged with the right flank of the Qin cavalry, and the right flank of the Chu army did not engage with the left flank of the Qin cavalry because of the turn. The escape of Yiqulu led the entire left flank of the unarmed army to flee, and the Qin cavalry was defeated. The hateful heavy cavalry could not outrun the light cavalry, and after chasing out of a mile, the heavy cavalry had to slow down, and could only watch the light cavalry continue to chase and kill.
"This Hu Chief!" Xiong Jing watched Yiqu go away, and scolded bitterly when he couldn't catch up. On the other side, Yu Fen saw that Yiqu Duck actually ran away, and he also cursed. Scolding and scolding, he had to put in another cavalry lieutenant, worried that one lieutenant would not be able to stop the attack of Chu cavalry, and the precious domain cavalry was also sent.
30,000 war horses galloped on the south bank of Muze, although the number of Qin troops was large, but the morale was no longer there, and the cavalry who fled with Yiqu Yu took the first step to rush their comrades, and saw the knights of the Chu army rushing towards them, and some people involuntarily turned back and ran. Worried about the loss of the cavalry, Yu Fen had to order someone to sound the cymbals and order the whole army to retreat quickly.
The cavalry is not a foot soldier, as long as the cavalry retreats as long as there is no obstacle in the rear, it is easy to retreat, but the speed and endurance of thousands of dragon horses are beyond the imagination of the Qin army, they chase all the way, until the south bank of the chasm is blocked by the 200,000 foot soldiers under Wang Ben's command.
"Hooray! Banzai! Long live ...... "The Chu army that won the first battle was extremely excited, but Xiong Jing, who was once again reported by Daliang City, was not in the mood for victory, and he was shouting at Zhao Bai, who ran sixty miles last night to unseal the news.
"Yu Daao, Zhao Bai is gone." Zhuang Wudi caught up, and he brought another news, "Qin cavalry attacked me with a heavy load, but fortunately I was spared." ”
"This Qin people's plan is also." Without a car, Peng Zong couldn't bump on the horse. The Qin army launched a large-scale cavalry battle here, which was to lure the Chu cavalry to come, and then attack the rear baggage.
"Zhao Bai is the Marquis of Qin, this is all the plan of the Qin people." Xiong Jing pointed to a Zhao pawn in a huge armor. "All the gates of the Great Liang are blocked, and the Qin people did not steal the city gate to enter the city last night, but dragged the rope to climb the wall and enter the city. From this morning, Fang entered the city by the cloud ladder. ”
"How's it going in the city?" Peng Zong asked urgently.
"General, last night the traitor led the Qin people into the city, and set fire to the royal city, shouting that the Qin army's girder had been pulled, and the whole city was in chaos for a while......" The Qin cavalry blocked the south bank to prevent anyone from going to Kaifeng to report the news.
"How's it going in the city?" Zhao Zu may have been frightened, talking all about how he was last night, and didn't answer the question at all.
"The queen mother has retreated to the south of the city, and the north city has been lost." Zhao Shu's eyes were still a little dull, seeing him so sluggish, some suspected that he was the Marquis of Qin's Zhuang Wudi and felt that it was not quite like it.
"How is the State of Wei?" The Zhao army should have been defeated by the Qin army, and Peng Zong immediately asked the Wei state. Before he finished speaking, a banner suddenly appeared under the city wall of Daliang twenty miles away, and a Zhao character was written on the flag.
