Chapter 143: The Battle of the Hidden Sun (6)

Left flank of the combined forces of the Mechu Coalition.

Not surprisingly.

The Cheguang cavalry of the Chu State was quickly defeated by the Wei Han cavalry, which was not enough to drive away the Wei Han cavalry, but only delayed the speed of Wei Han's attack.

If discipline is sufficient, they can immediately regroup and relaunch an assault after retreating in a defeat, but these cavalry from low nobility have retreated far away, and it will take some time to regroup.

The commander of the Wei-Han coalition army rubbed his hands excitedly, and he could feel that the balance of victory had tilted in his favor.

Although even if the left flank of his side retreated, it still did not delay the battle for long, but the melee of the infantry on the left flank could still be seen through the smoke of gunpowder, and the Wei and Han coalition forces were not at a disadvantage.

In the battle on the right flank, those Cheguang cavalry of the Chu State who looked fierce were routed, and there was no possibility that they could regroup and attack in a short time.

Only a part of the Mojia cavalry on the left flank was still cooperating with the infantry attack, but he believed that those cavalry were already on their way to support Chen Cai's division.

He only discovered the fact that the Mochu coalition had quietly increased its troops to the right flank, but the number of additional troops was not large, it seemed to be only five or six thousand, and he was sure that it was not enough to crush his left flankβ€”at least not until he had defeated Chen Cai's division.

What he saw in his eyes now was that his cavalry and chariots had begun to attack Chen Cai's division, and the fighting soldiers were already fighting with those Chen Cai's divisions.

And not far behind, ten large infantry formations formed a Pythagorean shape, and were pressing over with a kind of overwhelming momentum.

At this time, the battle situation was already quite clear, and it could be seen from the side of the Mochu coalition army, in this case, if those Mojia cavalry on the left flank did not rush to support, the collapse of Chen Cai's division was almost inevitable.

Chen Caizhi's division on the left flank of the Chu army could no longer hold on.

The previous bombardment had greatly eroded their morale, and the failure of their own cavalry counter-attack had exacerbated this unease.

The dense phalanx of the Wei State came in an overwhelming manner, which brought this uneasy atmosphere to a climax.

Dressed in leather armor and armed with short swords or short ges, the Wei soldiers rushed into the chaotic array of artillery bombardment, cavalry assault and chariot assault, and the two large formations at the front could no longer support it.

The musketeers of the first large formation of 1,500 men had already collapsed, and the remaining foot soldiers continued to shrink into the already dense phalanx, as if there were enemies on all sides.

Treading ......

The Wei and Han cavalry in the distance attacked again, and an iron bullet happened to fall into the almost crowded phalanx, and with a few pops, it smashed out a trail covered with blood and short limbs.

"Defeated! Can't hold it! ”

"Run!"

Facing the cavalry that was getting closer and closer, I don't know who shouted first.

This cry was like the roar of the first wave that crashed against the cliff at high tide, and soon caused a wave like a low tide.

The several phalanxes, which had long been crumbling, could no longer hold on and rushed backwards, while the few squares that had been hit less before were still holding on, but there was also chaos.

The main general of Wei Han, who had been watching this side from a distance, almost jumped off the chariot he was observing, and his excitement was overflowing.

"In this battle, our army has won!"

"Order the Chinese army, assemble to the right!"

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and for the Wei and Han coalition forces, the collapse of the first phalanx of Chen Cai's division means that the fighter plane is coming.

The infantry movement is slow, and it must be readjusted in order to seize the weakness of the Mochu coalition army and expand the results of the battle under this rare opportunity.

He wanted to continue to stick to the Chinese army of Chu with the Chinese army, concentrate the main force on the right flank, and completely envelop the Mochu coalition army from the flank, so as to defeat it in one fell swoop.

The drums sounded, the flags flew, and the remaining phalanxes of the Wei and Han coalition forces, which had been holding out, began to move, and the Chinese army of Wei and Han began to march with drums.

In the formation of the Chu army.

The breath of the Great Sima of the Chu State also became rapid, and after raising the telescope and repeatedly confirming that the reserve forces of the Chinese army of the Wei and Han coalition forces began to move, he exhaled a long breath.

"He's finally moving! He finally moved! ”

He said it three times in a row, something he had been looking forward to since the beginning of the war, and now it has finally happened.

Wei Han's large array of foot soldiers moved slowly, and it was almost impossible to break through when he stood still, but once he moved, it meant exposing holes......

There is no great army in the world that can maintain a perfect formation when maneuvering on the battlefield, even the now recognized strong army Xihe Pawn and Sishang Yishi are impossible, there is no doubt about this.

And once it moves, it is almost impossible to regret it in the future and want to readjust, because it is Wei Han's infantry array.

The collapse of Chen Cai's division, as he expected, the great Sima of Chu was ready to give up Chen Cai's division from the beginning.

For the sake of this victory, he could give up those elite Cheguang cavalry just to buy a little time; You can give up the newly trained Chen Caizhi just for the final victory.

Because...... He is the great Sima of the king of Chu, and he is the great Sima used by the king of Chu to centralize power and fight against the three tribes of Qu, Jing, and Zhao.

In the previous battles, he was not against the weak chickens of Dongting Cangwu, or an army like Wang Ziding that would have been defeated without the support of Wei Han, and he had never really fought against the three Jins, the great enemy of Chu for hundreds of years.

What kind of results the new army of the king of Chu can achieve is equivalent to how much resistance the king of Chu can have to change the law.

He was waiting for the Wei-Han coalition army to move, as long as he moved, he would have a chance, especially the mobile reserve force of the Chinese army.

However, even with this excitement, he was able to stay awake, and after taking a few deep breaths, he ordered: "The prepared second-line foot soldier turned to the formation!" The artillery turned the muzzle and took the second-line infantry as the left flank! ”

This was compared with Wei Han's time, and what the Great Sima of Chu relied on was that the formation of the new army of Chu was easier to maneuver, and it was possible to redeploy the defense of the left flank before Chen Cai's division completely collapsed.

In addition to mobility, it also lies in the particularity of the new army system of the Chu State: a thinner front means more reserve second-line reserves under the equal-length front.

Wei Han's already small reserves have been moved, which means that once the left flank of the Wei and Han coalition forces collapses, even the Chinese army will not be able to organize a defense, after all, the movement speed of the large array is much slower, and it is too late to readjust the deployment.

The Great Sima of Chu State jumped on the chariot and looked at the right flank of the Mochu coalition army, and the key to victory or defeat in his heart is up to you.

The right flank of the combined forces of the Mechu Army.

The foot soldiers are still fighting, and it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.

With the help of the north wind and gunsmoke, the cavalry of Shu Prisoner Mi and others had already appeared in the rear of Wei Han's left flank.

The brigade commander in charge of commanding these cavalry was listening to the suggestion of the prisoner, and several brigade-level cadres next to him were also listening.

Shu Prisoner Qi pointed to the direction where the banner of the main general was erected high in the distance and said: "The Wei and Han Great Array has moved, and it seems that Chen Cai's division can no longer hold it." At this time, there was no cavalry on Wei Han's side that could drive us away, and there were no two phalanxes that could withstand our onslaught. ”

"The main general of Wei Han is still in the Chinese army, we might as well rush straight to the Chinese army and behead the enemy general. Even if it doesn't work, the Wei and Han armies will be chaotic. ”

"If we can't rush down, we can also go straight to the flank of the Chinese army, and once the Chinese army is defeated, the left flank of Wei and Han will be defeated."

"Although the order is for me to attack Wei Han's left flank, but the fighter plane is difficult to find, if it hits the left flank, although Wei Han's left flank is defeated, it will still take time for the army to sweep, it is better to go straight to the main general of the Chinese army."

When several officers heard this, their eyes lit up.

That's true.

Now it seems that the Wei Han Great Array has moved, and there is no longer a force in the entire Wei Han army that can stop their cavalry.

Their cavalry could not break through the motionless formation, and if Wei Han's cavalry chose to counterattack, it might also be sticky.

But now, there is no power to restrain them.

Rushing straight to the main general, as the prisoner said, winning is a miracle in the world, and it should be the first merit in this battle.

No, it's a big deal to withdraw to impact Wei Han's left flank, and now the two sides are scorching, as long as they rush slightly, Wei Han's left flank can collapse.

It's all about the good and no harm.

The fighter plane was fleeting, and several people voted in an instant, and they were extremely excited.

Two and a half cavalry brigades, eight portable brass cannons dragged by pack horses, and five hundred foot knights, this is a force that cannot be resisted unless two or three phalanxes form a formation, even if the cavalry of the Wei and Han coalition forces is still there, they cannot stop it, this is their self-confidence.

With an order, the Mo cavalry, who had been in ambush for a long time and had been waiting for the change of the Wei and Han army formations, began to move towards the place where the main general of the Wei and Han army was.

The eyes of the prisoner were extremely hot, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the location of the main general of Wei Han, he was sure that there were only a small number of chariots and the elite infantry of the young man.

Even if the impact fails, what can it do? As far as Wei Han's heavy phalanx wants to catch up with them, it is a fool's dream. When Wei Han's cavalry came back to help, even if those Wei Han cavalry didn't stick to Chen Cai's division of Chu State now, when they came back to help, they would be enough to break away from several Wei Han phalanxes that were already scorched.

By the time they had advanced to seven or eight hundred paces, the Wei and Han coalition forces should have discovered their movements, and the main general became flustered, but the drumbeat remained unchanged.

The prisoner said in his heart, the drum sound has not changed, it must be because he doesn't want to cause confusion in the army's heart, but the nearest infantry phalanx is still a hundred steps away from there, and it is moving to the right, even if he returns to help, it will not help at this time.

At this time, in the formation of the Wei and Han armies, the main general of Wei Han had a gloomy face, raised his sword and fell, and killed a few close servants who were shouting loudly and panicked just now, and shouted: "Those who disturb the morale of the army in a big victory, kill!" ”

He was shocked in his heart, and muttered in his heart: "He used the entire Chen Cai's division as bait? The cavalry of the Mo family went around to the back? ”

In shock, he took a look at the situation on the left flank of the Chu army, and said coldly: "Your left flank has collapsed, how long can your Chinese army hold on?" The winner is yet to be known! ”

In exchange for his cronies, he advised: "You go and give the order in person, and the two phalanxes suddenly turn to return to help, and do not make a noise." ”

Pointing to the two nearest phalanxes, the cronies took the order.

Looking at the surroundings, there are still 500 elite soldiers, dozens of chariots, hundreds of elite soldiers, and hundreds of nobles and slaves, adding up to more than 2,000 people, and they may not be able to fight.

And there is no need to win, only need to delay for a while, once the foot soldiers come back, these hateful Mo cavalry must retreat. Even if one's left wing collapses, then it is nothing more than a left-wing for left-wing battle.

At this time, there is no need to panic, and a counter-attack needs to be launched, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, and it will cause chaos on the entire front.

On top of the chariot, he summoned the nobles around him and said, "Eat the king's fortune, and be loyal to the king." The state is at this time. The enemy's left flank has been defeated, the victory and defeat have been divided, and the Mojia cavalry is nothing more than a battle of trapped beasts, and our army will win. Everyone, break my enemy! ”

There are hundreds of elites around him, as well as some nobles' slaves, as well as some nobles' dead guards, these are the most elite forces, and they may not be able to fight back and win.
