Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 10 Winning the Central Plains Section 41
Chapter 10 Winning the Central Plains Section 41 ||
The southeast side of the battlefield.
Deng Sheng's attack was extremely fierce, and he quickly advanced under the cover of the elite cavalry on both wings.
Guo Hua couldn't stop it, and he and the two thousand soldiers were swallowed up by one after another shocking waves in the blink of an eye. They are like trees that have been swept away by a flood, trembling and groaning violently in the raging waves, and they will be destroyed at any moment. Guo Hua was shocked and angry, and commanded the soldiers to form a battle formation and attack bravely, "Kill, kill, kill them, block their ......"
The soldiers were not afraid of life and death, and stepped forward and sacrificed their lives in a bloody battle, but Guo Hua seriously underestimated the enemy's determination to break through, and even miscalculated the enemy's strength, and they were met by the enemy. Although the brave soldiers of the northern frontier fought for their lives and did not retreat, they were drowned and fell in a pool of blood under the continuous bombardment of layers of heavy waves, allowing the enemy to step on their bodies and roar forward.
Guo Hua was surrounded by the enemies who came up like a tide. He had two arrows stuck in his shoulder blades, a bleeding wound on his thigh, and a long wound of flesh that had been struck on his back by an enemy's tomahawk, and a long wound of flesh that had stained his robe red. "My lord, retreat, hurry......" Several of his guards shouted hoarsely while blocking the enemy, "We can't stand it, we can't stand it, you go quickly......"
"Whoever dares to take a step back will be killed." Guo Hua roared angrily, and the spear in his hand plunged into the enemy's chest like lightning, "Kill me, and I won't retreat until I die." ”
There were more and more enemy soldiers, and all kinds of weapons roared down from all directions, and the bloodshed stimulated the soldiers on both sides, and the crazy roars were thrilling. At this time, no one cared about their own lives, and all that was on everyone's minds was killing, bloody killings, as if the terrible howls and severed limbs and stumps flying in the air were the purpose of their own survival.
The long arrow hit Guo Hua. Just as Guo Hua staggered back, a spear suddenly pierced his abdomen, and blood burst out. Guo Hua screamed in pain, grabbed the bloody spear handle, and slashed down with the war knife in his hand, slashing the spear-wielding enemy with a knife. Another spear fell from the sky, and the sharp spear pierced Guo Hua's chest in an instant, nailing him to the ground. Almost at the same time, more than a dozen crossbow arrows pierced the crowd and shot fiercely into Guo Hua's body. Guo Hua's screams fell silent instantly.
The guards cried out in grief and rushed forward one by one. But there were too many enemies, long shields like walls, spears like forests, arrows like locusts, and the enemy soldiers were like wind and clouds, and in the blink of an eye, all the opponents who pounced on them were cut to the ground.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The fierce drums of war exploded, and the enemy soldiers were invincible. In the thunderous killing sound, step by step.
Xian Yuyin's phalanx had not yet been completed, and the alarm horn came from behind the army, and Han Sui's reinforcements came from behind, and at this time, the two thousand foot soldiers who were blocking in front of the formation had been defeated by Deng Sheng, and the army was about to fall into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy.
"Tell Koji-sama and support immediately." Xian Yuyin ordered in a continuous voice, "Put up the banner of the goshawk, please send an elite iron cavalry to block the enemy head-on, and give us time to line up." ”
Liu Bao only has 4,000 people on his hands. In the critical situation that the infantry army was not completed and the enemy army attacked from the front and rear at the same time, he could only ensure the safety of the infantry army first.
"Urgently inform General Koji that the enemy reinforcements are rushing from the southeast of the battlefield, and our army is suffering from the enemy on its back, so please ask him to support quickly."
"The herald is trying to burn the canal, asking him to immediately lead a thousand iron horsemen to block the enemy in front of the army and delay the enemy's attack speed."
"Urgently tell Zuo Da Danghu Lan Rong, my reinforcements will arrive immediately, please be sure to swear to stop the enemy, and don't let the enemy quickly approach the battle formation of our army."
The horn of "Woo Woo ......" sounded rapidly, and a thousand Huns galloped out of the formation, gradually forming a cone-shaped attack formation in the gallop, and cutting diagonally down along the front of the enemy's assault front.
"Shoot, shoot intensively......," Deng Sheng looked back and shouted, "Shoot the Huns out to me and kill those barbarians." ”
Suddenly, long arrows rained down, obscuring the clouds and the sun.
Zhang Nan saw from afar that the iron cavalry of the northern frontier was rushing towards the two wings of the army, and hurriedly ordered all units to stop advancing and meet the battle with a "full moon" battle formation.
"Order all departments, form a formation to defend to the death, and drag the iron cavalry of the northern frontier for me, and those who escape from the battle will be killed."
Zhang Nan's army was mainly responsible for feints and containment, but he was worried that he would lose the support of the senior cadres if he advanced too fast, and would be divided and surrounded by the superior Northern Xinjiang Army, so his advance speed was not fast, and it was not too far from his own position.
When Pang De and Captain Fengqing each led an army to kill the enemy formation, they suddenly found that this attack position was very unfavorable to them. If the forced attack is frustrated, the army will not be able to break through the enemy position for a while, and it will be easily flanked by reinforcements from this formation.
"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, tell Feng Qing, don't attack for the time being, first go around the formation and shoot to deter the enemy." Pang De hurriedly ordered, "Raise the banner of the double rabbit and ask Lord Zhang He to lead the army to come to the aid quickly." We need to join forces now to attack, fast, fast......"
Xin Bi looked at the soldiers who fled from the car formation in a panic, looked at the gradually loosening battle formation, and looked at the menacing Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry in front of him, his face was pale, and his mouth was scolding, without the demeanor of a celebrity.
"My lord, the car formation is about to fall, what should we do? Did you ask for help from the tall man? The general of the unified army was panicked and asked in horror.
"You want to die here?" Xin Bi's eyes widened, and he raised his hand at Zi Yu is whip, "If you want to survive, you must break through immediately, and if you want to break through immediately, you must rush out immediately." Now that the Northern Xinjiang Army is not enough to encircle and the troops on other battlefields cannot get out, it is a good opportunity to rush out. If we wait until all the Northern Frontier troops on other battlefields come to support, we will be completely finished, and there will be no chance of escape. ”
"My lord, the facts are in front of us, we have no reinforcements, the army will collapse immediately, and the fleeing soldiers will turn around and run wildly, which will have a huge impact on the Chinese army. Once the morale of the army is weakened, the whole army is about to be annihilated, and it will be difficult for us to fly. Zi Yu spread his hands and said in frustration.
"Don't need reinforcements, I can still block the Northern Frontier Army." Xin Bi gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Either he dies, or I die, fight." ”
Zi Sui looked at the murderous Xin Bi in surprise, with a hint of joy in his eyes, "What countermeasures do you have?" ”
"Where's the oil? Where is the truck loaded with kerosene? ”
Zi Rate immediately understood, "My lord, if there is no fire oil, what should we do at night?" Without oil is equivalent to being blind, and the consequences are unimaginable. ”
"The Northern Frontier Army has rushed in, their iron cavalry is about to come in, the army is about to be defeated, and we will die before it gets dark." Xin Bi looked at Zi Yu coldly, with a mocking expression, "The consequences? What could be worse than total annihilation? What do you keep the oil for? **? ”
Zi Rate was stunned for a moment, "Listen to you, it's burned, it's all burned." "Zi Qi turned around and ran," ordered the various departments, pushed the baggage cart loaded with fire oil to the front, and burned everything that could be burned. Quick, fast. ”
The Northern Xinjiang army attacked the vehicle formation from four directions, and saw that the assault force was about to break through the last obstacle of the vehicle formation, when the enemy's baggage vehicles in front suddenly burst into flames, and the fire expanded rapidly, and gradually became a prairie fire, and then the flames soared into the air, and thick smoke billowed out. The choking smoke filled the entire array of cars in a short period of time.
"Withdraw, withdraw...... Gao Ran was shocked and exclaimed, "Mingjin...... Evacuate ......"
The soldiers who burst into the formation turned around and ran, lest they fall into the fire and lose their lives.
Zi Sui was very excited when he saw the Northern Xinjiang Army retreating, and the horses galloped back and forth in the formation, "Quick, burn the rushing cars and baggage cars in other parts of the formation, ...... quickly."
Suddenly, he thought of something, and rushed to Xin Bi with a horse, and asked worriedly: "My lord, now the fire can stop the enemy, but after these rushing carts and baggage carts are burned to ashes, what can we do to stop the enemy?" ”
"If these things are burned out and we haven't broken through yet, then we will have to wait for death." Simbi sighed and looked up with a wry smile.
Zi Yu looked up at the gradually reddening sun in the western sky, and the joy just now disappeared immediately. After nearly dusk, the Xiliang army was bound to withdraw, they fought for a day, suffered heavy losses, the soldiers were exhausted, and they no longer had the strength to rescue the Yuan army on the right flank battlefield. As soon as the Xiliang army withdrew, the Northern Xinjiang Army surrounded it from all directions, and the army was defeated overnight. It seems that the chance of survival this time is very slim, and there is less luck.
Koji Yi sat upright, crossed his arms, and looked at the sky-high fire in front of him with interest, with a little disdain in his eyes.
Gao Gan, thunder heavy Pegasus came.
Lei Chongxi was overjoyed, dancing with his hands, "My lord, Gao Gan was driven crazy by us, and he even burned the car array to kill himself. Even if the enemy collapses, he will not dare to flee from the northeast. ”
"This fire burns well." Koji Yi smiled and pointed at him, "I'll go to support Boyu (Xian Yuyin), and Zhengqing (Gao Lan) will take five thousand men and horses to defend the northwest direction." I'll leave it to you. ”
Lei Zhong gave his hand to the order, "My lord, is Gao Gan breaking through from the southwest?" ”
"Yes, it's fierce." Ko Yi made a gesture to the horn soldier behind him, "Han Sui's reinforcements have already arrived, and they are fighting fiercely with the Huns." Now Boyu and Liu Bao have been attacked before and after, and the situation is critical, and they have sent people to me for help several times. ”
"Woo woo ......" long horns sounded one after another, and the 5,000 iron cavalry army quickly turned around and galloped towards the battlefield in the southwest.
Gao Ran's face changed slightly, "My lord, since the direction of Gao Gan's breakthrough has been determined, why don't you quickly transfer Zhang He's army to support." Zhang He's army was very close to the southwest battlefield, and they would soon be able to rush to the battlefield to block Han Sui's reinforcements. ”
"It is precisely because the two battlefields are very close that I dare not rashly mobilize Zhang He's army." Koji explained, "Once the high-ranking cadres are blocked in the southwest, they are very likely to break through and take advantage of the weakness of our army's forces in the southeast, and then turn to the southeast to break through. If Gao Gan suddenly changes the direction of the breakthrough, we will be in trouble, and if we are not careful, we may let him escape. Koji Yi shook his head and said, "My purpose is not to kill them all, but to trap the army of high-ranking cadres here, so that none of them can escape." ”
"How's the mid lane battlefield going?" Gao Ran asked again, "If the battle in the middle lane battlefield can end quickly, we can get at least 20,000 reinforcements." With these 20,000 reinforcements, we can not only trap Gao Gan, but also eat all of Han Sui's reinforcements. ”
"It's fast, there are not many enemies on the battlefield in the middle lane, and it won't last long." Koji Yi turned his head to look at the sky and smiled, "They should all be here." ”
The candidate commander of the army attacked rapidly, with 2,000 iron cavalry in front and 5,000 foot soldiers behind, which was overwhelming.
Although Lan Rong had the intention to block, his own strength was limited, and the arrow array of the enemy's infantry army was extremely dense, so he could not get close at all, so he could only fight with the cavalry of the Xiliang people, and fight and walk.
The candidate saw that the Northern Frontier Army in front of him was in a battle formation, with flags like clouds, and a team of iron cavalry ready to go, and he was a little afraid in his heart. He feared that his cavalry would be surrounded by the enemy if they were too far away from the main formation, so he repeatedly ordered the cavalry army to keep a distance from the main formation to ensure the safety of the large army. He came to rescue Gao Gan to break through, and if the rescue failed, he had to withdraw quickly, and he could not be surrounded by the enemy, so he let his 7,000 soldiers accompany Gao Gan to be buried.
"Erect the banner of Feiyun, tell Gao Gan that we have arrived, and ask him to break through with all his strength and flank the Northern Frontier Army with us."
"Command all the troops to attack with a wild goose marching battle array."
"Order the iron cavalry to return to the flanks of the army."
The candidate urged the war horse to gallop in front of the formation, "beating the drum, attacking, attacking ......"
"Knock knock knock knock......" The drums of the civil war in the northern Xinjiang army were beating. A black "fortress" stands majestically over the field.
Liu Bao was overjoyed, raised his hand and shouted: "Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, order Liu Ming and Hu Yan Yuanjia to retreat on both wings, and order Tu Liao to withdraw quickly." ”
"Tell General Xianyu that I have led the army to support Lan Rong, attack and kill the two wings of the enemy's reinforcements, and ask him to block the enemy head-on."
As the horn sounded, two thousand Huns roared out from the two wings of the "fortress", roaring all the way, killing the Xiliang army.
"Shoot, shoot...... Zhao Heng stationed under the big flag in the formation, and the red command flag in his hand waved repeatedly, "Shoot at will." ”
"......Boom", arrows soared into the sky, flying all over the sky, and the piercing roar was thrilling.
Yuan Jun suddenly raised his shield and galloped all the way, shouting hoarsely to kill even masking the roar of the long arrows.
One hundred steps, fifty steps, thirty steps...... Sergeant Yuan stepped on a corpse that had been hit by an arrow, bravely rushed through the arrow array, and crashed into the strong "fortress".
"Killing" ...... thousands of enemy pawns hit the "shield wall" almost at the same time.
Hundreds of sharp spears pierced the gaps in the shield wall, and hundreds of knives and axes smashed into the shield. The sound of "bang bang ......" is endless, just like thousands of people hammering open mountains and smashing stones, and the momentum is amazing.
"Smash the enemy formation, smash it open......" Deng Sheng ran among the soldiers in front of him, shouting and roaring incessantly. He wants every soldier to see his fearless figure, to hear his resolute roar, he wants to arouse the courage and confidence of every soldier, he wants to lead them out of the encirclement, "Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived." As long as we smash through the enemy line and rush through the enemy line, we can kill it. ”
The morale of the soldiers in front of them was greatly boosted, and Deng Sheng's hoarse screams of excitement and excitement were like the sound of heaven, giving them hope for survival.
The fighting intensified.
The sky-high fire and billowing smoke in the rear made the soldiers of the Yuan army panic, and some people thought that the Northern Xinjiang Army had broken through the rear formation, and the iron cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army was about to step on layers of corpses to kill all over the world, one by one they were so frightened that they were terrified, and the attack speed suddenly accelerated.
At this time, there was no need for the encouragement of war drums, and there was no need for the shouts of superiors at all levels, and everyone tried their best to kill to the front. Break through, as long as you break through the encirclement, your life is your own.
"Kill the ......" In the roar like a tide, 18,000 Chinese soldiers and soldiers rushed forward with the momentum of the river breaking the embankment.
The "fortress" of the Northern Xinjiang Army was like a big ship in the ocean, jolting violently up and down with the earth-shattering waves, as if the ship might be destroyed and killed at any time.
Liu Ming, Huyan Yuanjia, and Tu Liao each led 3,000 men and horses to defend the two flanks of the fortress, and while they blocked the attack of the enemy cavalry, they attacked the enemy's flank with small groups of assault cavalry, and fought back. They are like two strong arms, protecting the "fortress" that is struggling in the raging tide.
But an even bigger storm is coming.
The candidate Xiliang reinforcements quickly approached the battle formation, and their "Yantou" front army rushed through the arrow array and stormed the "fortress" city wall. The intensity of its offensive made the "fortress" that had suffered from the enemy on its back precarious, and it could collapse at any time.
Liu Bao and Lan Rong each led 2,000 cavalry soldiers and launched a crazy "revenge" against the two wings of the Xiliang army. Groups of horsemen were like continuous crossbow arrows, tirelessly and endlessly rushing to kill, which greatly interfered with the attack rhythm of the Xiliang army.
The twin rabbit banners in the "fortress" had been raised five times, but Xian Yuyin still didn't see reinforcements, he was waiting anxiously.
At this moment, the soldiers in the battle array were divided into two, one part blocked the breakthrough of the Yuan army, and the other part blocked the rescue of the Xiliang army, and the troops were seriously insufficient. If it weren't for Liu Bao and Liu Ming commanding the Hun iron cavalry to attack the enemy's two wings at any cost, the battle array would have fallen.
The "......boom" ballista rang out, and the enemy soldiers who rushed into the battle formation fell to the ground with a miserable howl. However, the enemy, who had repeatedly broken through the battle formation and been killed repeatedly, had learned a lesson, and this time they concentrated the three strongmen to continuously attack the breakthrough. The Northern Frontier Army has a lot of ballistas, but it takes time to load the arrows, when the ballistas placed in the front of the blocking attack shot out all the sharp weapons in the stomach in a short period of time, they found that the enemy on the opposite side was still rushing in, not only was the gap not blocked, but it was getting bigger and bigger.
Xian Yuyin was shocked, and hurriedly ordered Zhao Feng to support with three hundred soldiers, and be sure to kill the enemy out of the battle formation. But there were too many corpses in the gap, piled up like a mountain, and the enemy soldiers stepped on the corpses and roared, and no matter what method the northern Xinjiang soldiers used, they could not plug the gap. Zhao Feng was red-eyed, and led the soldiers to fight bloodily with the enemy soldiers on the corpse pile.
Deng Sheng once again concentrated the two tuns of men and horses and launched a fierce blow to the gap in the battle formation. The gap suddenly widened, and more enemy soldiers rushed into the battle formation, melee with the soldiers of the northern frontier. In the blink of an eye, a section of the "city wall" collapsed. The soldiers on both sides were entangled and killed flesh and blood.
The ballista is loaded, but cannot be fired. In a hurry, the soldiers of the chariot battalion jumped out of the chariot formation one after another and fought fiercely with their swords.
The soldiers in the northern frontier became fewer and fewer, and the already frantic enemy completely lost their minds, often at the expense of two or even three people in exchange for one of the other's heads. Zhao Feng fell, and although he had killed more than a dozen enemies, he was finally unable to parry the flying weapons and fell on top of the high pile of corpses.
Xian Yuyin was furious, and personally rushed forward with a hundred guards, "Kill, kill them for me." ”
The battle formation in northern Xinjiang is crumbling.
"Drumming...... Drumming ......" Deng Sheng roared excitedly, "Tell Lord Gao that we have torn apart the enemy formation, ask him to charge, launch a charge, completely destroy the enemy formation, destroy it......"
"Knock knock knock ......" all the war drums of the Yuan army were beaten in turn, and the huge drums shook the entire battlefield like a landslide and cracked the ground, and the earth-shattering killing sound set off a storm like a tsunami and rumbled across the entire battlefield.
Gao Gan smiled, looked up at the blood-colored sunset in the west, and waved his hand vigorously, "Order all departments, fight bravely to kill the enemy, fight bravely to kill the enemy......"
More than 20,000 people were like a rainbow, surging, and struck down with a thunderous blow.
The people of Xiliang saw the battle flag of the Yuan army moving rapidly, and heard the deafening charging war drums resounding through the heavens and the earth, and their morale suddenly boosted, and the attack became more and more fierce.
Under the repeated heavy blows of the enemy troops in front and behind, the northern Xinjiang battle array gritted its teeth and swore not to retreat.
Xian Yuyin hurriedly ordered the soldiers on both wings of the battle formation to support the front formation, and asked the Huns to protect the two wings of the battle formation with heavy troops. Under the attack of the enemy army in front and behind, the range of activities has become smaller and smaller, and gradually become a "long snake" array, the iron cavalry has lost its depth, the casualties have gradually increased, and they are complaining about suffering. The enemy may take the opportunity to rush through the iron cavalry, unify the infantry battle formation, and break through directly from both flanks of the battle formation.
Liu Bao was in a dilemma, and he would never make a decision. If you don't protect the two wings of the battle array, the battle formation will quickly collapse due to the loss of the strong support of the two wings. But if the troops are transferred back to defend the two flanks of the battle formation, and the iron cavalry cannot block the enemy in the narrow battlefield, "Reinforcements, I need reinforcements." ”
The loud sound of ......the horn suddenly sounded from the northwest of the battlefield, and then an army of iron cavalry rushed out and killed the enemy's flank.
Koji Yi finally came with the Xianbei people to support.
"Blow the trumpet, attack quickly, attack and kill quickly......" Koji Yi took the lead and entered the enemy formation at a gallop.
The five thousand Xianbei people were like a tiger descending from the mountain, and in the earth-shattering roar and the panicked screams of the enemy, they opened their bloody mouths and bit down in one bite.
The high cadres were not afraid, and the overseers attacked. When Sergeant Yuan saw the arrival of reinforcements from northern Xinjiang, he went even more crazy and attacked desperately. Deng Sheng personally entered the northern Xinjiang battle formation and led the personal guards to sacrifice their lives in a bloody battle.
Liu Bao categorically ordered that the main force spread out on both flanks of the battle formation to block the enemy's breakthrough, "Tell General Xianyu to ask him to hold on, be sure to hold on." ”
Seeing that the Northern Xinjiang Army was supported by iron cavalry, the candidate hurriedly ordered all units to advance on all fronts, striving to break through the enemy position in the shortest possible time and rescue the army of Gao Gan.
For a time, the war drums were vigorous, the horns were excited, the flags were flying, the war horses were neighing, the arrows were like clouds, the sound of killing was like a tide, and the army of foot soldiers went forward one after another, forgetting to die, and the columns of iron horses were flying, rolling up the bloody sky.
The whole battlefield boiled over in an instant.
Xian Yuyin screamed loudly, and staggered back to the front surrounded by the guards.
"Kill me, leave me alone, I can't die yet." Xian Yuyin gritted his teeth, and pushed away the soldiers who were guarding him, "Kill me......"
"My lord, kill an iron cavalry ......from the west" Zhao Heng, who was standing on the baggage cart, suddenly exclaimed, "My lord, quickly pull up the banner of the green wolf and tell the soldiers of all departments that there are enemy cavalry attacking, and enemy cavalry attacking......
Xian Yuyin was shocked, stood up with his gun slammed, and looked into the distance, "Whose army is it?" Who is it for? ”
"Killed from the west, there are ten ** all of them are Han Sui's reinforcements." Zhao Heng was so anxious that he waved his hand again and again, "My lord, let's fight, let's fight." ”
Xian Yuyin roared angrily and smashed his fist on the wheel, "Beat the drum...... Fight to the death, fight to the death......"
Several Lingqi soldiers were in a hurry, and they were about to pull up the green wolf banner, "Slow, slow......" Zhao Heng screamed again, "I saw it wrong, I saw it wrong, it was our iron horse, it was General Leizi's iron horse, and the Qiang people ......" He jumped off the car excitedly, and rushed to the front of the Lingqi soldiers, "Quick, change the flag, change the Feiyun flag, and tell the soldiers and soldiers to arrive, block the enemy, surround the enemy, and ...... quickly." Hurry up ......"
Xian Yuyin's heart suddenly let go, and he was about to give an order, but he felt the figure in front of him shaking, dizzy, and fell to the ground.
Lei Zi, Tie Yue, and Nie Xiao led an army of 10,000 into the battlefield with overwhelming momentum.
Lei Zi led his army to attack Yuan's army head-on. Tie Yue led the army to the front of the battle formation. Nie Xiao hated Han Sui extremely much, and led the Qiang people to the rear of the battle array, aiming at the candidate Xiliang Army and roaring down.
Wang Mo and the iron cavalry were on the flank with the infantry army to attack and kill the Huns, and he bore the brunt of the attack by the iron cavalry of the northern frontier. In the fierce melee, he was cut off his horse by the fierce northern frontier cavalry, and his head was in a different place. Nearly 1,000 cavalry of the Yuan army were swept away by the iron cavalry of northern Xinjiang, and only a very few of them fled into the infantry formation, running wildly with the panicked infantry fleeing.
Tie Yue and the three thousand elites were like an iron cone as heavy as a thousand pounds, and they pierced down fiercely along the front line of the northern Xinjiang battle array, and the blockers were invincible. The front army of Yuan's assault, which was attacking like crazy, was immediately divided into two, one part turned around and retreated to the main formation, and the other part was driven into the battle formation. Deng Sheng and nearly a thousand soldiers fell into a desperate situation, in front of which is the Northern Xinjiang car formation that has not yet been broken, and behind is the strong Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry, the only way to escape is to advance, as long as you kill the Northern Xinjiang battle formation, you can escape with Han Sui's reinforcements. "Kill, we've been killing the past......" Deng Sheng didn't hesitate at all, and the Overseer continued the bloody battle.
Xian Yuyin fainted, and it was Zhao Heng who temporarily replaced Xian Yuyin's command. The first order issued by Zhao Heng was that all the troops in the front line retreated, withdrew into the car formation, and defended the formation. Before the troops could completely withdraw into the car formation, Deng Sheng rushed up with nearly a thousand soldiers. "Shoot, shoot me......" Zhao Heng gave an order, and dozens of ballistas exploded. Deng Sheng was hit by seven arrows, and he still ran a few steps with his sword high before falling to the ground. Most of the nearly 1,000 Yuan soldiers died, and the rest of them were all broken, so they turned around and fled.
After seeing the arrival of the second batch of reinforcements of the Northern Xinjiang Army, the candidate knew that the opportunity for Gao Gan to break through had been lost, and immediately issued an order to retreat. By the time Nie Xiao's army arrived, the Xiliang people had already broken away from the rear of the Northern Frontier Army and retreated two hundred paces. At this time, Liu Bao and Lan Rong commanded the Xiongnu army to outflank from both flanks, cutting off the candidates' retreat, and Nie Xiao followed the Huns and surrounded the two wings of the Xiliang people. The people of Xiliang were surrounded on all sides, and there was no way to escape. The candidate erected the banner of "Double Rabbit" and asked Han Sui for help, and at the same time commanded the army to break through. Liu Ming and Hu Yan Yuanjia then led the army to kill, and more than 10,000 iron cavalry surrounded the candidate Xiliang army.
Yuan's army was hit hard by two reinforcements from northern Xinjiang in a row, suffering heavy casualties, a steep drop in morale, and a discouraged army. Just when they were gradually losing control and about to collapse, the Northern Frontier Army suddenly stopped attacking. The horns of retreat sounded one after another, and the iron cavalry of the northern frontier retreated like a tide.
Gao Gan took advantage of this rare opportunity and ordered the army to quickly withdraw to the chariot formation, meet the rear army of Xinbi, and then think of a breakthrough strategy.
"Dangdangdang......" The sound of the golden gong resounded throughout the battlefield full of corpses.
On the battlefield in the southeast, Zhang Nan's army was attacked by the infantry army of northern Xinjiang. Originally, Zhang He and Pang De wanted to defeat this pinning army, but the position of Zhang Nan's formation made it impossible for the Northern Xinjiang Army to exert all its strength. In order to prevent their army from being pinned down by Zhang Nan, so that Gao Gan seized the opportunity to break through from the southeast, the two immediately sent half of their men to attack together.
The forces of both sides were almost the same, and neither had the intention of inflicting heavy losses on the other, so the battle was fought carefully and boringly, but soon the tide of the battle changed. First, a fire broke out in the rear of Yuan's army, and Zhang Nan thought that the Northern Xinjiang Army had broken through the defense of Xinbi, so he was very panicked and almost ordered to retreat. Later, Yuan's army was attacking like a tide and could break through at any time, and Zhang Nan was worried that he would be dumped by Gao Gan, so he hurriedly ordered the army to retreat while fighting and move closer to the southwest. At this moment, Yuan's army suddenly sounded the golden gong and retreated on all fronts, which made Zhang Nan, who did not know the situation, panicked and hastily ordered the withdrawal of the army.
Seeing that Zhang Nan's battle array was in chaos, Xu Yan and Feng Qing, who led the army to attack, were suddenly overjoyed, and without hesitation, ordered the army to attack fiercely. Feng Qing led the iron cavalry to break through the enemy formation and kill the Chinese army directly. Zhang Nan was shocked and fled in panic under the protection of his guards. In the chaos, he panicked, ran head-on into Fengqing, and was killed by a spear. The lord was killed, the enemy army immediately collapsed, and thousands of Yuan soldiers rushed to flee to their own formation. The battle was attacked, the situation became even more chaotic, and the army was panicked and lost their fighting spirit.
Han Sui's expression was grim, and he stood on the hillside with his hands in his hands, silently looking at the battlefield in the distance.
He had to accept the fact of defeat. First, Ma Chao and Jiang Feng fled back with more than 2,000 people. More than 5,000 Xiliang elites on the middle battlefield were killed, Han Sui's son-in-law and Xiliang general Yan Xing was also killed, and Ma Chao's subordinates Wang Rong and Yang Fei were also killed.
Then Liang Xing and Ma Wan fled back with more than 3,000 people. Han Sui was furious at the escape of the two, and his emotions were out of control for a while, and he almost killed them.
The Qiang people also returned. Han Sui didn't scold them, this was the time to employ people, and some things would be talked about back in Chang'an. Liang Xing and Ma Wan were furious, and the responsibility for the defeat of the right-wing battlefield and the siege of the senior cadres was all put on their heads. Chang Chang and Ink Rope argue that after they were ambushed, they wanted to return to the battlefield immediately, but they got lost. Liang Xing laughed angrily, "If you get lost, I will grow wings and fly." ”
While several people are arguing with each other, the scout Pegasus returns. The situation on the battlefield on the right flank suddenly changed, reinforcements from northern Xinjiang came one after another, Gaogan failed to break through, and the candidates were surrounded, and they urgently asked for help.
Han Sui's emaciated body shook a few times, and his face showed a look of pain. He barely stabilized his mind, and his gaze swept over the faces of Ma Chao and the others one by one, "How many reinforcements does the Northern Frontier Army have?" ”
Ma Chao thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "Judging from the current situation, Pang De's army must have all arrived in Guanzhong, and we have seen these 30,000 iron cavalry, followed by the army of the Huns Dadan Yu Liu Bao." In addition, the scouts said that the army that blocked the breakthrough of Gao Gan was the Youzhou army, and they saw the battle flag that was fresh in silver. If the Youzhou army can rush thousands of miles to Guanzhong, then we cannot rule out the possibility that Xu Rong will transfer troops from Jizhou and the Central Plains battlefield into the pass. ”
"There are at least 35,000 people in the hands of senior cadres, and the main force is Yuan Tan's Guanzhong army in the past, which is very strong, and if the Northern Xinjiang Army wants to surround them, it is impossible to have more than double the strength." Liang Xing shook his head in frustration, "In this battle, we fell for Xu Rong." I thought that I would win the game, and the army of 90,000 was enough. Who knew that Xu Rong had quietly hidden more than 100,000 troops in Zheng Baiqu. This battle was unjustly lost. ”
Han Sui ignored Liang Xing and turned his head to look at Ling Ru, "If the strength of the Northern Xinjiang Army on the right flank battlefield is enough to encircle Gao Gan, then when Gao Gan breaks through, the Northern Xinjiang Army will not be so embarrassed, and it will not wait until the army on the battlefield on the middle road arrives to support the situation to stabilize the situation, so we still have a chance to rescue Gao Gan." ”
Ling Ru's face changed drastically, "My lord, by all means, it's better for us to withdraw our troops immediately." The army of the high cadres has no food and grass and may collapse at any time. Once Gao Gan's army collapses, the Northern Xinjiang Army will be able to free up its hands to deal with us with all its might. My lord, they have an army of more than 100,000 people, and we have suffered heavy losses, and the senior cadres are about to be defeated, we have no strength to compete with them, so let's withdraw our troops. ”
"Sir, let's rescue the candidates and withdraw the troops." Ma Chao bowed down and said, "Gao Gan can't be saved." Before dusk, we must withdraw our troops, otherwise there is a high risk that they will be wiped out. ”
Liang Xing and Ma Wan also dissuaded him repeatedly.
"Sir, the place where the candidate is besieged is on the edge of the battlefield on the right flank, only a few hundred steps away from the main force of the Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry. Once the reinforcements were trapped on the battlefield, they might ...... "Chang Chang didn't want to take risks, so he spoke bluntly and advised Han Sui to withdraw now."
A hint of anger flashed in Han Sui's eyes, "Even if the Northern Frontier Army has more troops than us, we still have a chance to rescue the candidates and rescue the senior cadres." He looked at the crowd and waved his hand vigorously, "We are tired, and the Northern Frontier Army is also tired. Whoever has more courage and perseverance will be able to achieve the final victory. ”
"Your Excellency, please think twice......"
Ling Ru wanted to persuade him again, but Han Sui stretched out his hand to interrupt him, "Urgently tell Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Han Yi, Cheng Yin, and Li Kan, and let them hold on until dusk." Without my order, who dares to jump to after 1/2|
