Chapter 669: Hollow Array Group
Wu Sangui listened to Xia Guoxiang's reminder, saw the phalanx group in front of him clearly, and his heart was neutral.
The hollow phalanx of the Wei army was spread all over the field, and once they rushed into the formation, the cavalry would be attacked by firearms and rockets from all directions, which was equivalent to entering a live target in the labyrinth.
As soon as Wu Sangui pulled the reins of his horse, the horse army was about to crash into the Wei army's formation, suddenly turned around and galloped along the edge of the Wei army's formation, wanting to take a detour to see if there was a chance on the Wei army's flank and rear.
Ten thousand war horses trampled the fields to pieces, and the horses galloped across ditches and ridges, galloping along the edge of the Wei army's array.
"Boom!" In the Wei army's array, a cannon was pushed out, the soldiers lit the fuse, and the sparks swished into the medicine room, and there was a loud bang in an instant.
In the hollow phalanx, the cannon body retreated, raising a cloud of gunsmoke, and the cannonballs whistled into the horses, and the beaten man was immediately overturned on his horse.
Gao Yihuan looked at a war horse and fell forward, and the cavalry was thrown forward, with a sneer on his face.
If it weren't for the lack of copper ore resources in the Western Wei Kingdom and the limited artillery equipment, Wu Sangui dared to ride around him, and the Wei army's artillery would have killed these turtles and grandsons a long time ago.
Looking at the several hollow phalanxes on the flanks from time to time, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the array, Gao Yihuan said left and right: "Raise the Great Pillar of the Lonely King higher." ”
"King! The right flank is in! At this time, Bai Wenxuan exclaimed.
Gao Yihuan turned his head to look, and saw that another Guanning iron cavalry, under the leadership of Guo Tuzhuang, had been poured into the hollow formation of the Wei army.
The Guanning cavalry poured in like a tide, flooding the golden mountain, and the phalanx of the Wei army, like a reef in the river, flowed the water of the river and then diverted it, so that more than 10,000 Guanning horse troops were divided into several shares in a moment.
In an instant, on the right side of the main formation of the Wei army, the sound of guns and cannons rang out, and the rising gunpowder smoke was like clouds in the sky, and the scene was spectacular.
The Guanning horse army crashed into a phalanx, the war horse was attacked by rockets, firearms, artillery and earth-shattering thunder, consciously bypassing the front of the phalanx, the horse would not hit the sharp spear headlong, and the cavalry was unwilling to die, the Guanning iron cavalry was divided into two strands by the Wei army like a tide, and the horse rode around the front of the phalanx and poured to the left and right wings.
The diverted horse army poured into the gap between the two hollow phalanxes, and while galloping on horseback, they shot at the Wei army on both sides with the three-eyed guns and bows and arrows in their hands.
At this time, the cavalry that had been diverted poured in from the gap between the two hollow arrays, and a hollow phalanx appeared in front of them.
Guo Tuzhuang had a bad feeling in his heart, but in the gap behind him, countless horse troops had poured in, and the cavalry could not turn around at all in the narrow passage, so he could only pull out the reins of the horse and bypass the front of the phalanx again, and the cavalry behind him poured into the left and right of the phalanx again, and was instantly divided into two strands.
At this time, he entered the gap between the other two phalanxes, which immediately made him feel like he was entering a labyrinth.
Looking at the exit in front of him, a phalanx appeared again, Guo Tuzhuang suddenly pulled the reins of the horse and stopped suddenly, "It's not good, withdraw!" ”
At this moment, there was a suona sound from the phalanx on both sides, and the hollow phalanx on both sides, as well as the hollow array in the rear, burst out at the same time with a volley of firearms, and there were also rockets scurrying and earth-shattering thunder, sweeping the Guanning horse army in the gap between the phalanx.
Looking down from the sky, there were several hollow phalanxes on the right flank of the Wei army, the phalanx in front fired at the same time on all sides, and the phalanx in the back fired a salvo on three sides, the smoke of gunpowder rose, people howled and neighed, and the battlefield was grand and spectacular.
Guo Tuzhuang only felt that a gust of wind was blowing, and the horse troops in the gap between the phalanxes were like dead leaves on trees, and after a gust of wind, they fell one after another.
The Ma army, which had stopped abruptly in the passage, was blown up by the platoon and the earth-shattering thunder, and hurriedly raised the speed of the horse and continued to move forward, but at this moment, the Wei army array in front of the passage opened fire again.
The Guanning horse army was diverted from the front of the battle again, and the horse army that collided with it was directly stabbed to death by spears.
Guo Tuzhuang's face was full of fear, and he led the cavalry to gallop in the gap, using the bow and arrow in his hand, firing the bow and arrow and the three-eyed gun to fight back, but the firepower of the cavalry was far from being compared with the Wei army.
In an instant, Guo Tuzhuang was desperate, the whole person was about to be driven crazy, and the army of 10,000 was like water entering a sponge, and he didn't know how to get out at all.
At this time, at the edge of the left flank of the hollow array, Wu Sangui led 10,000 horse troops, along the edge of the Wei army's phalanx, and had galloped to the side, but he was disappointed that the side of the Wei army was almost the same as the front, and there were several hollow arrays distributed.
"Lord Wang! Guo Tuzhuang has entered the battle! At this time, Xia Guoxiang, who was galloping, heard the sound of guns and buzzing shouts from the right, and said urgently.
The cannonballs of the Wei army smashed into Wu Sangui like eyes, and from time to time there were clumps of mud pillars around his banner, and the war horses continued to neigh.
Wu Sangui galloped, turned his head to look at the right flank, but only heard the sound of guns and shouts of killing, only to see the blank smoke rising on the hollow array of the Wei army on the right flank, blowing in a burst, the smoke slowly rising, and finally dissipated in the air.
The two armies together had more than 100,000 men, and the battlefield was so vast that it was impossible to see the situation on the right flank with the naked eye.
The Guanning army was galloping, trampled by horses' hooves around it, and the cannon was rumbling, and it was difficult to communicate with the enemy.
Wu Sangui couldn't see the situation on the right flank clearly, and he led his men and horses around the periphery of the Wei army's formation, not to mention the passive artillery, and he hadn't found the flaws of the Wei army, and his heart suddenly became anxious.
Seeing the hollow formation of the Wei army, after listening to Xia Guoxiang's reminder, Wu Sangui also saw some doorways, the infantry army maintained a complete formation, and the cavalry basically had no advantage in the confrontation, especially the hollow formation of the Wei army, once the cavalry rushed into it, unless it was a heavy cavalry specially trained in the charging formation, most of the war horses would not be stupid enough to hit the spear formation, and would choose to bypass the infantry line, so that once the Guanning horse army entered the formation, the target was huge, and it would become the target of the Wei army's gunners.
It is not good to enter the formation, and it is not good to continue to circle around the Wei army's formation, Wu Sangui reined in the reins, gritted his teeth and said: "Xia Guoxiang, you lead five thousand horse troops, dismount and fight, open the way for this king, and push over one by one!" ”
"Foot combat?" Xia Guoxiang's face was shocked, which was equivalent to giving up the advantage of the Ma army.
Wu Sangui gritted his teeth, "The hollow formation of the Wei army, restraining the horse army, this king can't make a move at all, but his various phalanxes are scattered, and it is difficult to get close to each other, you concentrate five thousand soldiers and horses, form a local advantage, break through several phalanxes, and open the way for this king's horse army." ”
Wu Sangui looked at the Wei army, and Gao Yihuan also saw the Guanning horse army on the left flank suddenly stop, he looked over with a clairvoyant mirror, and just saw Wu Sangui's hideous face and sharp eyes glaring fiercely.
"What is Sangui going to do?" Gao Yihuan was taken aback by Wu Sangui's face, so he said viciously: "Hit the flag, take advantage of Wu Sangui's not moving, bomb him!" ”
