Chapter 1038: Zhu Cihong escapes
On the left flank of the battlefield, the Wei army lined up the infantry army, and after defeating the Ming musketeers, drove the defeated army forward.
Huang Degong did not panic, sent 20,000 elite Wudang troops, detoured through the mountains and forests, and appeared on the flank of the Wei army's musketeers to attack.
Jin Shenghuan saw that the musketeers of the Ming army and the 20,000 soldiers of the Zhou army had already gone to battle, so he no longer had any scruples and ordered the Wei cavalry to attack the main formation of the coalition army.
On the battlefield, thousands of horses are rushing, and the coalition army is in a phalanx, like a grid on a chessboard, and the Wei cavalry did not rush into the field, but chose a corner of the chessboard to focus on attacking, intending to break the small formation first, and accumulate a lot, so that the entire large array was defeated.
The musketeers galloped, and the muskets fired in unison, knocking down the spearmen in front of the phalanx, and then reined in and departed, reloading the pellets in the distance, and charging again.
The coalition army lacked cavalry, and the infantry army formed a phalanx, so it could only be passively defended, and waited until the Wei army came to attack, but the Wei army was extremely cunning and did not charge directly.
On the battlefield, thousands of horses galloped, and groups of musketeers rushed to the front of the phalanx, and left after shooting, the Ming army was constantly shot down, and the Wei cavalry also fell off their horses again and again.
The cavalry of the Wei army continued to be chaotic, the dragoons dismounted and shot at each other, the spearmen on the periphery of the Ming army were lost, and the shock cavalry immediately advanced like a wall, and the horse lance stood up and scattered the coalition phalanx.
The cavalry scattered a phalanx, drove the defeated army to the next phalanx, if it could break the enemy, immediately broke through the formation again, if the impact was frustrated, the shock cavalry pulled out its horse and retreated, never fighting hard.
At this time, the musketeers and dragoons stepped forward again and continued to attack, and the shock cavalry reorganized their formation a little, and when they found an opportunity, they launched another attack.
On the left flank, under the banner of Daxu, the Ming army scout Pegasus delivered the news, "Report, the three formations in the northeast are broken, and the commander of Wu is in an emergency." ”
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Yasukuni, the Marquis of Guangyi has been killed, and the Wujie Army has been dispersed!"
Zhu Cihong clenched the reins of the horse with both hands, looking nervous, and Huang Degong waved his hand next to him, "Let Wang Shangli's 30,000 Zhou troops attack, wandering in the gap of the hollow array, the Wei thief cavalry advances and retreats into the gap, and the Wei thief retreats, then shoots out of the gap." ”
The large array of the coalition hollow array, the Wei army has cavalry and dragoons, that is, it can swing a horizontal array and shoot at the hollow array, or the cavalry can attack, while the coalition army can only be beaten passively.
Huang Degong let the Zhou army swim through the gap of the hollow array, the Wei cavalry attacked, the dragoons dismounted and fired, they filled the gap, so that the hollow array became a horizontal formation, and the Wei army fired, and when the Wei cavalry attacked, they retracted and restored the hollow array.
"Whoa!" The chess and card officer immediately clenched his fists and was about to pull out his horse, when a Ming general rushed over, turned over and dismounted, "Your Majesty, Wang Shangli broke away from the left flank and was transferred away by Sun Kewang!" ”
"What!" Huang Degong was shocked.
Zhu Cihong's expression changed greatly, and he finally couldn't help but speak, "What's the matter?" ”
The general hurriedly said: "The 130,000 Zhou troops on the right flank have trapped the Wei army, and Sun Kewang has also been driven off the high ground, he is eager to recapture the high ground, so he transferred 30,000 Zhou troops." ”
"It's over!" Zhu Cihong's face turned pale when he heard that the Zhou army was surrounded.
The left-wing coalition army was pressed and beaten by the Wei army, and only had the ability to parry, but did not have the strength to fight back, and now the right-wing Zhou army was trapped again, which shows that the coalition army is at a disadvantage on the left and right flanks, isn't it over.
~~~~~~
On the battlefield, the Wei army rode on foot, violently impacting the left wing of the coalition army, and on the north side of the high slope of the right flank, the Wei artillery team was holding the barrel to its heart's content, unscrupulously bombarding the 130,000 Zhou army that could not advance or retreat, and the coalition army was already at a disadvantage.
Under the high ground, less than 20,000 defeated Zhou troops, plus 30,000 mobilized people, a total of 50,000 people, regrouped, ready to launch a counteroffensive, recapture the high ground, and rescue the main force of the 130,000 Zhou army.
As long as the high ground is recaptured and the coalition forces are reunited, the battle will have a chance to turn around.
Sun Kewang's palms were sweating, and he watched the soldiers rush towards Gao Po in a frenzied manner, eager to raise his knife and attack it himself.
At this time, as the Wei army occupied the high ground, Gao Yihuan also moved Daxu forward, leading 10,000 horses to join the 40,000 Wei army and guard the high ground.
On the battlefield, the Wei army already has the advantage, but whether it is the more than 100,000 Zhou Ming coalition troops on the left flank or the more than 100,000 Zhou troops on the right flank, they will not collapse in a moment and a half.
The artillery continued to bombard, and on the huge battlefield, a canopy of dirt was raised, and people were constantly being swept away by the air waves, and the shouts and killings of the two armies on the battlefield were overwhelming, reaching up to the sky.
Sun Kewang rode on horseback, jumping like thunder, shouting, "Hurry up and rush up for me." ”
If the Zhou army could not recapture the high ground, the 130,000 Zhou army would be annihilated sooner or later under the artillery bombardment of the Wei army and the strangulation of the infantry army, which made Sun Kewang extremely anxious.
At this time, under the Wei army, Chen Mingxia suddenly raised his finger and said, "Your Majesty, look! ”
Gao Yihuan followed the prestige, and the scene in front of him immediately made him smile, and the Ming army on the left flank was captured by the Wei army, and saw that there was no hope of victory, and finally retreated.
When Sun Kewang was anxious about the battle situation, the sound from the flank made him tremble, and he turned his head suddenly, Zhu Cihong and Huang Degong led the Ming army and rushed towards Shaoguan.
In an instant, Sun Kewang's eyes almost flew out of his sockets, "Xiao Zhu, who is a straight thief, actually ran away first." ”
In this battle, Da Zhou came to save him, this deflated calf actually ran first, and Sun Kewang was miserable, and the 130,000 soldiers of Da Zhou have not been rescued.
"Ahh~" Sun Kewang looked up to the sky and roared, his heart was extremely crazy, and he couldn't wait to kill Zhu Cihong.
The attacking Zhou army, seeing the rout of the left flank, one of the 150,000 Wei troops went forward to cover the defeated army, and the other was interspersed with the rear of the right flank, wanting to cut off the rear of the right flank, and the panic and uneasiness immediately spread.
Gao Yihuan saw a fierce cavalry, did not chase the Ming army, but galloped around the high ground, directly inserted into Sun Kewang's rear, pulled out his war knife excitedly, and shouted loudly: "The whole army is raiding, kill me!" ”
On the battlefield, the Wei army's trumpets and drums sounded in unison, and the rapid and loud attack signal drowned out the sound on the battlefield for a while.
The Zhou army that attacked the hillside was driven down the hill by the Wei army, and fled like a tide, and the defeated army hit the main formation of the Zhou army.
In a moment, the battle line, which could still be held, completely collapsed, and the coalition soldiers fled south in an orderly manner.
Sun Kewang lay on his horse, running forward, looking back, seeing that his army had become an ownerless lonely soul, his eyes were full of hatred, "Gao Yihuan and Zhu Cihong actually joined forces to trap me, I am not finished with you!" ”
The 300,000 Wei army, the final harvest on the battlefield, the 130,000 Zhou army was blocked under the high slope, and under the attack of artillery and the Wei army, it completely collapsed and surrendered in pieces.
Xu Heihu and Jin Shenghuan led the army and launched a ruthless pursuit and killing ~~~~~~ against the fleeing coalition army
