Chapter 492: Heavenly Divine Soldiers
Yuan Shang was in a frenzy of fighting spirit and shouted: "Blow the horn, the whole army will attack!" β
Woowoo woo β
The sound of the horn of slaughter suddenly sounded, drowning out the sound of the surging Yellow River.
Yan Liang, who was arrayed on the flanks, waved his sword and shouted: "Cavalry, crush the enemy with me, and revive the majesty of my secluded and iron cavalry." β
Yan Liang rode his horse and danced his knife first, and the two thousand dark and iron horsemen behind him surged up, carrying the momentum of the sky and the earth cracking, and rushed towards the landing Soviet army.
In the battle of the Southern Expedition last year, the invincible Youhe Iron Cavalry was defeated by the Soviet army in successive battles, with heavy casualties and loss of dignity.
Today, these warriors are holding their breath, trying to wash away the shame that hangs over their heads through a rare victory.
Cavalry sorties.
Yuan Shang had a gun in his hand, pointed his gun at the Soviet army, and shouted: "Infantry army, frontal crushing, drive the enemy army down the Yellow River!" β
The order was handed down, and 18,000 troops of Yuan Army marched out in formation, like a torrent of bursting embankments, overwhelmingly rushing towards the Soviet army.
Yuan's infantry and cavalry had all sorted, intending to annihilate the half-crossing Soviet army on the river beach in one go.
This battle, even if only thousands of Soviet troops were killed, was enough to boost the morale of the army.
Zhang He looked at the enemies coming from both sides, and the word "sure enough" immediately came to his mind.
He had expected that Yuan Shang would not let him cross the river so easily, and he would definitely have heavy troops, waiting to give him half a crossing and attack him, and the facts in front of him proved that his worries were not superfluous.
Although his brows were furrowed, Zhang He did not have a trace of fear, drew his sword in his hand, and shouted: "The soldiers who have landed, don't panic, let me form a formation to prepare to meet the enemy!" β
When the order was laid, the elite Soviet soldiers tensed their nerves, raised their big shields, raised their spears, and prepared to meet the enemy's rush with the determination to die.
The Soviet army had just lined up, and in the flank direction, Yan Liang's 2,000 iron cavalry was like a torrent of steel, rushing towards it as a vanguard.
Yan Liang waved the big sword in his hand, charged forward, and shouted: "Today is the day of revenge for our secluded iron horse, brothers, kill all the enemies for meββ"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Two thousand enemy horsemen roared angrily, and in the blink of an eye, with the momentum of the sky and the earth cracking, they collided with the shield array of the Soviet army.
The sound of broken shields, broken guns, torn flesh and bones, and the screams of men and horses suddenly rose up, drowning out the sound of the surging water of the Yellow River.
Yan Liang charged forward, and the blade passed over, shattering and overturning the oncoming Soviet army's hand shield knife, and broke out of the formation unstoppably.
The Youhe Iron Cavalry rolled in, and with a powerful impact, it broke through the shield array of the Soviet army in a blink of an eye.
The Soviet army is too small, half of the men and horses have not yet landed on the beach, and there are less than 3,000 people, how can such a fragile shield array block the impact of the enemy cavalry.
The Soviet flank shield formation was broken and the situation was critical.
Zhang He frowned deeply, didn't talk too much nonsense, and immediately urged hundreds of soldiers to fill the gap.
At this moment, in the frontal direction, 18,000 enemy foot soldiers had been forced by Yuan Shang to roll and crash like a tide.
The loud bang sounded again, and the splatters of blood rose into the air, like a waterfall flowing backwards, staining the sky overhead.
Under the collision of several times the infantry troops, although the frontal shield formation of the Soviet army was not broken, it was rolled back step by step, and was soon forced to the river.
If you retreat further, there will be the rolling Yellow River behind you, and there is no way to retreat.
Zhang He was furious and shouted: "Brothers, there is the Yellow River behind us, we have no way to retreat, we can only fight to the death, fight for me!" β
The Soviet soldiers who were put to death were all aroused to fight to the death, brandished the big swords and spears in their hands, and frantically attacked the enemy several times their size.
The Soviet army, which was fighting on its back, for a while, was able to withstand the onslaught of several times the enemy!
The south bank of the Yellow River.
Su Zhe looked into the distance, faintly saw the line of the Dutou River beach, the blood mist rolling, and heard the sound of killing rumbling.
Everything was in his expectation, Yuan Shang really couldn't resist the temptation of meritorious service, and deliberately let Zhang He go ashore, wanting to give him a half-crossing attack.
Pang Tong beside him said sarcastically: "Yuan Shao's sons are really like dogs and dolphins, they can't hold their breath at all, if Yuan Shao is not dead, it is simply intolerable." β
Su Zhe sneered: "Then let's start by cleaning up his son, at this time, Wen Yuan should also arrive." β
He looked away from the battlefield at the ferry and toward the lower reaches of the north shore.
The dust and mist are rolling, covering the sky and the sun, and an iron cavalry army of 5,000 people is rolling in from the downstream direction, and a big banner with the word "Zhang" is flying like the wind.
Zhang Liao, it was Zhang Liao who led his cavalry corps to kill!
This is Su Zhe's strategy.
Zhang He's troops and horses were not to capture the ferry, but to deliberately show weakness to Yuan Shang, inducing Yuan Shang to give up the beachhead and take the initiative to let Zhang He's troops cross the river.
And just yesterday, Su Zhe had ordered Zhang Liao to lead the iron cavalry to run to Baimadu downstream overnight, from there to smuggle across the Yellow River, and then extend the north bank all the way to the Liyangdu battlefield.
His time calculation was exactly the same, and Zhang Liao really arrived at the critical moment.
Su Zhe looked at the rolling dust on the north shore and sneered: "Yuan Shang, you are also beyond your strength, your son Yuan Shang can't fight me, do you think you can, taste the divine power of my iron horse." β
In the direction of the north bank, Zhang Liao rode his horse like the wind, led five thousand iron horsemen to kill, and suddenly crashed into the back of Yuan's army, and killed them in a blink of an eye.
"Third son, the big thing is not good, we have the Soviet army behind us to kill!"
The screams of his own soldiers sounded in his ears, and Yuan Shang turned back suddenly, and sure enough, he saw countless Soviet iron cavalry rolling from behind, and in the blink of an eye, his men and horses had been torn apart.
Yuan Shang's face changed greatly, and he was filled with endless surprise, and shouted in a trembling voice: "What's going on, why did an enemy cavalry suddenly appear?" Where did they come from? β
Yuan Shang was stunned, Yan Liang changed color, and the 20,000 Yuan soldiers and soldiers also fell into a panic in an instant.
They were fighting hard and retreating, almost being pushed into the Yellow River to cross the river, but they were all overjoyed when they saw their own cavalry killed, and their fighting spirit was wildly ablaze.
Zhang He, who was stained with blood, looked at the cavalry of his own army who were killing in all directions, his face was full of surprise, and he suddenly came to his senses, and exclaimed: "No wonder Duke Chu dared to let me lead such a few soldiers and horses to forcibly cross the river, it turned out that he had secretly sent cavalry to attack the Yellow River a long time ago, and Duke Chu really deserved to be the head of the Nine Wonders, this kind of resourcefulness is simply unparalleled!" β
The ecstatic Zhang He, with his fighting spirit raging, brandished his blood-stained sword, shouted: "Brothers, our cavalry reinforcements have arrived, fight back with me, and take Liyang Ferry!" β
The morale of the Soviet soldiers was like a frenzy, the roar shook the sky, brandished their blades, and slaughtered the enemy soldiers who retreated in panic.
The tide of victory and defeat is reversed!
