Chapter Seventy-Three: The Man Turns on His Back
In the wilderness of Yangxiang, the fighting is full of devastation.
After all, the formation was still chaotic, and the warriors with Liaodong strong crossbows and sandalwood heavy bows shot the white horse Yicong into a sieve under the rain of arrows, but more of the white horse troops broke through the barrier of the rain of arrows, and in the personal guards under Dian Wei, people turned on their backs.
The young general who commanded the white horse Yicong was extremely skillful in commanding the soldiers and horses, and even let the Yanbei generals see a little shadow of Gongsun Zan outside Yangle City, even if the Yanbei army suddenly charged and forced the two armies to fight, but they were not surprised, and immediately led the Yicong cavalry to rush into the military formation, and under the alternation of cavalry and swords and spears, the cavalry formation seemed to be like a wave of overlapping infantry formations that were twice as large as them.
Although there were only more than 1,000 cavalry, they were rampage at the edge of the army formation, forming a state of the overall situation with fewer enemies and more enemies, and the front line with more and fewer fights, and in a moment the forward curve impact composed of more than 600 foot soldiers in front of Dian Wei was crumbling.
"Hold your ground, don't panic!"
Dian Wei held a long banner in the battle between the two armies was very conspicuous, and the roar of pacifying the soldiers continued to come out of his mouth, but it was obscured by the collision of men and horses on the battle formation, wailing and hissing, except for the nearest soldiers, it was difficult to affect the battle formation in the slightest.
The terrible cavalry rushed to kill with the momentum of daring to die, and all that could be done in front of the current guards was to use the mantis arm as a car, and there was no way to continue. The sharp spear pierced the solid armor, but it was also broken by the iron armor, and the broken spear of the crack was blocked by the leather armor worn by the warrior of the guard, and the strong impact caused the spear shaft to break in the knight's hand, and the debris flew all over the sky.
Although the good armor of the guards was able to save their lives under the spear, the powerful impact also caused a terrible sound of muffled cracks and broken bones in the samurai's chest, and the body flew a little more with the tremendous force of the spear shaft, and then was slammed into the air again by the galloping horse.
The dust has settled, and life and death are unknown.
The knight on the horse was not much better, the great force of the spear shaft was fed back into the arm, although the rider had cast the wooden spear earlier, but the overturned broken spear smashed into the rider's chest, the high saddle could not remove the terrifying force, and the single stirrup did not have the slightest effect, and the rider was smashed off the horse in an instant.
Then, for the cavalry rushing behind him, he trampled in the dust.
Yan Bei's ring knife swung lightly to the left and right, and he ordered in a low voice: "The left flank feints, and the right flank disturbs the enemy's flank!" ”
The front song slowly collapsed, but Yan Bei gradually felt joy in his heart. White Horse Yoshiko relied on the impact power to barely cause a one-enemy two-enemy record, but as the samurai's front slowly collapsed, the battle line became longer and longer, so that the cavalry lost its original advantage after scattering, and if you wanted to kill one, you had to exchange the life of a cavalryman...... These white horse Yicong are like moths to a fire in Yanbei's eyes!
As soon as the general order was issued, the left and right sides marched rapidly, the left flank quickly approached the white horse Yicong, attracting the enemy's attention with a small number of soldiers and the peripheral cavalry, while the right flank infantry waited a little far away from the enemy, forming a deterrent to the enemy.
The generals of the White Horse Yicong had apparently found that the Yanbei army was pinning their hopes on losing their mobility and being trapped in the formation, and it was difficult to break away from the line when they were alarmed, and just as they shouted and the cavalry retreated, Dian Wei had regrouped and led the Qianqu to rush forward again, and the soldiers were ordered to leave them behind.
"Yan, see how you escape!"
Dian Wei led the crowd to charge out, Yanbei would not miss the opportunity in the rear, and ordered the left and right soldiers to wave the command flag, and ordered the soldiers on both wings to outflank him.
The short battle made Yan Bei know very well that the cavalry under Gongsun Zhan who wanted to dismount him was obviously an elite who had been in battle for a long time, even if it was not inferior to the white horse army that was broken by him under Yangle City back then, and even a little stronger.
The elite of the elite, such an old soldier, even if the soldiers and horses of Yanbei are assembled, there are only six thousand, and Gongsun Zhan's subordinates think the same. Because of this, as long as the pro-guard warriors did not suffer too much damage, they would kill as many Yanbei as they came. If Gongsun Zhan's subordinates lose these mainstays, how can they maintain their vitality in the increasingly fierce competition in the future?
The formation of slowly closing the encirclement has been completed, but Yan Bei's heart can't relax, but he is a little excited. Although he still didn't say a word on his face, the hand holding the ring knife was clenched tightly, and his eyes were staring at the chaotic battlefield like an eagle.
With the louder and louder fighting sound of the Chinese army in the previous song, the enemy cavalry was slowly pressed by the foot soldiers on both wings, and they couldn't get out for a while, and the battle was going on thinking about the appearance of Yanbei's imagination. The cavalry lost room to maneuver in the battle formation, and the increasingly narrow battlefield made the surviving white horse cavalry crash into one place like headless flies, crowded and trampled.
At this moment, the small group of cavalry in the battle formation attracted Yan Bei's attention.
Nearly 1,000 white horse troops stopped the chaos from the inside, except for the cavalry on the front line to resist the guards under Yanbei's command, the cavalry inside was divided into two groups, one group gave up the enemy in front of them, regardless of casualties, charged towards the edge of the enemy army on the left and right flanks, almost in a life-for-life posture to block the footsteps of the guards to encircle, and then more cavalry withdrew from the gap in the two wings like flowing water and left the battlefield.
Yanbei took a cursory look, there were 600 cavalry who escaped from the battle formation, including not only a large number of white horse cavalry, but also more than 100 foot soldiers who could not get on the horse, followed by the cavalry stepping out of the smoke and dust and dragged away from the battlefield, and suddenly the white horse Yicong on the battlefield formed an empty circle line, which was broken by Yanbei's subordinates almost instantly.
If this is a rout, at this moment, it is a good time for northern Yan to send troops and horses to pursue and expand the results.
Unfortunately, this was not a rout, the enemy cavalry who fled from the battlefield after a hundred paces, the hundreds of foot soldiers did not hesitate to turn around and charge, and rushed back to the guards who chased to the front.
The cavalry, which had regained control of the maneuver, took advantage of this opportunity to swim back, and the casualties of the pursuing foot soldiers were nearly 30 in a matter of moments, and the casualties continued to increase under the rain of arrows.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment again, and Bai Mayi took advantage of the hesitation of the pursuing soldiers to pull out dozens of foot soldiers and galloped towards Zhuo County.
"Don't chase it, bring the captives here!"
Yan Bei couldn't stop his subordinates from continuing to pursue, this unexpected encounter made Yan Bei feel pressured, and he desperately wanted to know who the young general who was leading the enemy army was...... Although his people were young, they crossed the route of several large armies and attacked the main formation of the Chinese army directly, attacking more with less, although they did not cause many casualties to Yanbei's subordinates, but the decisiveness and bravery shown in the battle formation cannot be underestimated.
Gongsun Bogui's subordinates, when did there be such a young general?
