Chapter 1009: Lose both
Chapter 1009 loses both
Finally saw the cruelty of the Slavs, and would rather pay more than 5,000 lives for the sake of a wall of fire. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but Hua Ziqing also understood that it was all worth it, with this wall of fire burning, the Heaven and Earth Wind Thunder Water Volcano Ze Bafang Great Array stopped operating, especially the two formations of water and fire, because they did not stop at the same time, they are now gathered together. This change directly led to the inability of many **** soldiers to deal with it calmly.
Viache is a notoriously old fox, so how could he let this opportunity go? The broadsword was raised high, and more than a dozen crashing trees appeared again, but this time it was more than 2,000 Slavic cavalrymen who were the main attackers, and their goal was directly aimed at the ground near the wall of fire, and behind them were more than 2,000 infantry to open the way, and finally there were more than a dozen crashing trees. The cavalry swept from both sides and squeezed towards the formation. At this time, the ground formation also returned to its original state, the shields were outside, the spears were numerous, and the longbowmen began to shoot, even if the prison was covered, it still could not stop the cavalry from approaching, and these cavalry attracted all the firepower like human shields. The wind gust and the heavenly array all released a rain of arrows, trying to prevent the Slavic cavalry from approaching by killing a large area, and the vast arrow rain was flying, even the Slavic cavalry could not break through, and many war horses were nailed into hedgehogs, but it was this short opportunity, the Slavic infantry approached the wind array with their shields, and they stepped on the corpses of the horses and cavalry, and launched a fierce attack on the wind array. At the same time, the Slavs' longbowmen positions were once again in full swing, and they ignored accidental injuries and suppressed the Ding****. Hua Ziqing's eyes were red, he never dreamed that at this time, the Slavs would be able to suppress the rain of arrows regardless of accidental injuries. Accidental injuries are inevitable, but under such suppression, the collision tree also came to the front of the wind gust.
Don't talk about Hua Ziqing, even Yu Xiaochen can't say anything, in order to defeat the corner of the gossip array, see what the Slavs have done. First, the death squad of 5,000 people lit the wall of fire, followed by the cavalry in front and the infantry in the back, and their task was to kill a way for the ramming wood behind, it can be said that every step of the Slavs was purposeful, one link after another, the cavalry opened the way for the infantry, it was rare to see in a hundred years, but Vyache succeeded. The remnants of the Slavic cavalry began to shrink, the infantry gave way to cover and took cover, and dozens of infantry in thick armor rushed towards the wind gust with the battering wood on their shoulders. I don't know how long the anger has been accumulating in this collision, and with a bang, the shield array at the forefront of the wind array was knocked open with a big hole, and many soldiers were knocked to pieces. Immediately after that, there was another crashing log, and in an instant, the outermost defense of the wind array became fragile, and at this time, the remnants of the Slavic cavalry began to cooperate with the strangulation wind array, and the defense of the large array was peeled off little by little, and there was no front row, and the longbowmen and pikemen were just lambs to the slaughter. Vyache seized the opportunity, and more than 3,000 elite soldiers who had been preparing for a long time began to pounce on him, facing the siege of the city wood and many Slavic soldiers and horses, where could the wind gust withstand it. Once the two formations get closer, the entire Bagua Array will collapse, and when the time comes, it will be no good for their own side to fight.
In an instant, the wind array collapsed, and even the ground formation was also implicated, and the two rectangular formations had lost more than 5,000 people before and after, which was basically half disabled. More and more Slavs poured up, and at the same time, Vasilev in the east also launched troops and horses to contain several rectangular formations on the other side, at this moment, the Bagua Array has reached the moment of life and death, maybe in the next second, the Bagua Array will collapse. Zhao Yougong was still calm, even if Yang Zaixing was anxious, he still did not give the order to withdraw his troops. From the mirror, it can be seen that the wind array and the ground array are being rapidly encroached, and even the thunder array has signs of instability, when another Slavic force rushed to the front of the wind array, Zhao Yougong finally ordered, "Shao Lie, lead three thousand cavalry out of the column to strangle, but remember, as long as you cover, absolutely do not fall in love." ”
Yang Zaixing arched his hand, and not long after, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the three thousand ancient town cavalry slaughtered from the long snake formation, killing along both sides of the still burning fire wall towards the periphery. At the same time, several ringing arrows rose into the air, and Hua Ziqing and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. Damn, he can finally retreat, in the face of the Slav mad dog-like attack, he doesn't dare to delay at all, "Brothers, retreat quickly." ”
The wind array contracted to the center, and the other seven rectangular formations were also shrinking, Yang Zaixing's cavalry was killed at the same time, and in the face of the swarming ancient town cavalry, the Slavs were obviously not able to deal with it, and they were killed for a while. Viache saw that his scalp was numb from a distance, and his heart ached, but at this time he didn't dare to say anything about the rain of arrows suppressed, this was not like before, tens of thousands of troops had already gathered in front, half of the cannon fodder army, half of the elite soldiers, no matter how ruthless he was, he would not dare to rain arrows at so many of his own people. Without the rain of arrows to suppress, the Slavs could not assemble to form an effective defensive formation, so they could only be beaten passively. Yang Zaixing is also scheming, he doesn't pursue too much killing, he only stares at the Slavs who are gathered together, and when he sees where an effective formation is about to be formed, he rushes over directly to cut. The Slavs were killed without a temper at all, and Vyache could afford to let it go, seeing that he could not further kill and injure the other party, and lost the hope of annihilating a rectangular array, he simply ordered the withdrawal of troops, and at the same time let the longbowmen prepare to meet the enemy, as long as these Eastern cavalry were hooked over, relying on the huge rain of arrows, no matter how strong the Eastern cavalry was, it would be a target to escape. Without the cooperation of strong infantry, relying on this cavalry alone, you want to turn the tide of the battle?
The Slavic soldiers had long since lost their heart for fighting, and when they were given the order to withdraw, they fled back without looking back. The rise of Hu Weixian's killing, and he wanted to lead his troops to pursue, Yang Zaixing held his spear horizontally, his brows were crowded, "Hurry up, it's too late if you don't retreat." ”
The cavalry of the ancient town is strictly forbidden by order, acting as one, the order is issued, and the retreat to the Chinese army is turned around, but this is the case, there are still dozens of cavalry left by the rain of arrows, looking at the overwhelming rain of arrows behind him, Yang Zaixing gasped, if the reaction is slow for half an hour, the loss will be great. The retreat of the ancient town cavalry so quickly made Viache sigh loudly, but he was not discouraged, at this time, he should take advantage of the victory to pursue, and take advantage of the destruction of the opponent's formation to further cut. At this moment, Vyache had no reservations, and an army of nearly 30,000 people pounced, and at the same time, all the soldiers and horses of Vasilev in the east were pressed up, and in an instant, more than 40,000 offensive troops were thrown in, and at this time, the total strength of the **** was less than 20,000, and more than 17,000 people really maintained their combat effectiveness. The scales on the battlefield seem to be tilting, and the balance is broken. Viache finally smiled a little, and after enduring it for so long, he finally saw a glimmer of dawn.
The eight-sided rectangular array contracted, and in half an hour, the eight arrays were linked, and a huge circular array had been formed, and the internal yin and yang arrays had also changed, and the shield hands moved outward, and the longbowmen were all concentrated here. The round array is naturally not as flexible as the Bagua Array, the lethality is insufficient, and it looks extremely heavy, but there is a little advantage, that is, this kind of thick circular array is full of defense, even if the Slavs occupy an absolute advantage in troops, they can't break through the round formation for a while, and can only tear a little bit on the periphery. A row of shields, a row of spears, the Slavs carried the city wood again, but this time it was not as good as before, the circular array suddenly cracked several openings, the cavalry killed along the gap, and at the same time the rain of arrows threw the rear of the enemy, with mutual cooperation, the Slavs were suddenly killed and retreated, the circular formation expanded, and cooperated with the cavalry to strangle the Slavic soldiers carrying the city log. It's complicated to say, but in fact, the changes are very fast, the Slavs don't have time to react at all, and those Slavic longbowmen can only stare dryly, and the front is densely packed with their own people, and they don't dare to release arrows indiscriminately.
Vyache clenched his fists, eager to go up and fight in person, he thought that the next battle would be very smooth, but he didn't expect the other party to be so difficult. It's not that there is no progress, but the progress is slow, in the face of this kind of copper wall and iron wall defense, you can only peel off the skin from the outside little by little, peel off a layer, the opponent loses a thousand people, and your own side will lose three or four times, this style of play will get to the end, it is estimated that no one can win. Vasilev was already sweating, and when he came to Vyache's side, he said with a worried face, "Grand Duke, it's not okay to fight like this, it's too much of a loss for us to fight like this, even if we can break through the opponent's formation, it is estimated that we will not have much advantage in the end." ”
Vasilev did not want to admit it, but this is the case, and the two sides are already in a standoff situation. If you have the advantage of troops, what's the use, it's not that you still can't tear through the opponent's defense?
The battle was extremely fierce, the **** stubbornly resisted, and the Slavs could not advance an inch. Zhao Yougong is well aware of the current situation, the Slavs have a temporary advantage in strength, but this advantage is very subtle, it is only twice as much, and it is far from reaching the crushing advantage. On the battlefield, the advantage of troops is actually very special, if one side has ten people, the other side has twenty people, the side of twenty people is likely to win easily, but once the number of people is tens of thousands, the so-called double force advantage is not so obvious. If Vyache now had 80,000 elite soldiers in his hands, even if he had ten guts, Zhao Yougong would not dare to fight like this. When the number of people reaches a certain advantage, there will be a qualitative change, and in the face of a huge advantage, any formation trick is a floating cloud. Precisely, Vyache did not have so many troops, but this situation gave him the illusion of an advantage. It seems that the Slavs are on the offensive, but Zhao Yougong is not worried at all, just need an opportunity, and these Slavs will turn into a group of local chickens and dogs.
"Report, Your Highness, the pressure in the northeast rectangular formation defense area is too great, and the rain commander asks for reinforcements" Hearing this news, Zhao Yougong's eyebrows moved, and the corners of his mouth curled, "Bai Xing and Fran obey orders, the long snake formation goes out to fight, go around the circle formation, and be sure to expand the defense circle by twenty zhang." ”
Bai Xing and Fran's subordinates belonged to the Snake Formation of the Chinese Army, and they had not participated in the war, so it can be said that they were strong and strong, and they were ordered to lead the troops to the battle quickly. The pressure on Yu Xiaochen's side was indeed very high, Vasilev's soldiers and horses were constantly torn like vicious dogs, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Bai Xing and Fran coming to help. White Star led the troops to kill, and with the arrival of this new force, Ding **** launched a fierce counterattack in the northeast, and the Slavs could not react, and they were beaten and retreated. Bai Xing did not fall in love with the battle, but cooperated with Yu Xiaochen to expand the defensive belt, leaving the aisle, Yang Zaixing's cavalry killed again, and after resting for an hour, this cavalry showed its edge again, and they slaughtered those Slavs who were attacking fiercely along the periphery of the circular formation. Serial horses with infantry protection, the Slavs once again saw the power of the cavalry in the ancient town, the first to suffer is Vasilev's soldiers and horses, the lack of cavalry, there is no rigorous infantry formation to block, where to stop the sharp chain of horse cavalry, Yang Zai was excited to take the lead, leading the cavalry to sweep the leaves in the autumn wind and plough the periphery of the circular formation, many Slavic soldiers were killed with cold courage, I don't know who roared, the tide receded.
Taking advantage of the Slavs' retreat, the entire circular array unanimously expanded outward, and it was directly expanded by thirty zhang. Seeing this result, Zhao Yougong smiled with satisfaction, and Vyachek's face darkened, and he fought hard for a long time, but the encirclement did not shrink, but expanded. How could such a thing happen in a strategic space of tens of zhang?
Vasilev was very distressed, this attack, the soldiers and horses under his command suffered the most serious losses, because their location was the counterattack point of the Easterners, and the retreat was not timely at that time, and they were cut down by the Eastern cavalry and suffered heavy casualties. When it came to this part, Viache could only order a retreat if he was unwilling, and more than a dozen commanders were also disgraced, and no one was pleased after the battle on this day. But in fact, it was the Easterners who won, as long as the Easterners could hold on, they didn't need much victory at all, and when the Vladimir side had a result, the army galloped to the aid of the Suzdal River, and the Slavic warriors could only admit it.
For the Slavs, not being able to take the army of the East is a failure. Of course, Zhao Yougong's side is not comfortable, in the face of the crazy attack of the Slavs, he lost more than 10,000 in one day, and the number has been sharply reduced to more than 13,000 people. After a few days, the fierce battles were repeated, and it can be said that both sides were defeated, and the south bank of the Suzdal River was definitely stained with blood, and the bones were all over the plain. In the evening, the two sides ceased fighting, and many soldiers returned to the camp, but they fell to the ground and did not want to get up, they were really tired, everyone tensed their nerves, and once they relaxed, the fatigue filled their bodies.
Zhao Yougong was also exhausted, lying on the couch and napping, but he didn't dare to really fall asleep, the more this time, the more careful he been. (To be continued.) )
