Gao Gan's army attacked in both the southwest and southeast directions of the battlefield. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xie Xuan and Wang Zhong had just led the army to the blocking position, their foothold was not stable, and the battle formation was not lined up, and if they rushed to meet the battle, they would be severely damaged.
Xie Xuan hurriedly ordered: "Quick, pull up the goshawk banner, and ask General Dian Wei and General Cao Xing to immediately send elite cavalry to block and kill the enemy army, and buy time for me to build a formation." ”
Then he said to Wang Zhong: "General Wang, please bring two thousand elites to take the lead in meeting the enemy, blocking the enemy's assault front army in front of the formation, and preventing them from approaching the formation." ”
Wang Zhong agreed, beat his horse and galloped away in front of the formation.
………………
"Drumming, drumming...... Ordered all departments to speed up the formation. Quick, quick......"
Dian Wei and Cao Xing, who had already arrived at the designated position, saw the "goshawk" banner erected in the infantry array, and immediately ordered the captains Liu Ming and Yuan Jia to each lead 2,000 elite cavalry to attack the enemy's two wings, and ordered the captain Lan Rong to lead 2,000 cavalry to slowly advance to the middle battlefield to block the enemy's reinforcements. The two of them each lined up on the left and right sides of the Youzhou Army with 1,500 cavalry soldiers to help the Youzhou Army quickly build a formation.
The horn sounded for a long time, and Liu Ming and Yuan Jia each led their men and horses, roaring all the way like two hurricanes, and quickly killed the enemy formation.
………………
Wang Mo saw it from a distance, and with an order, the five thousand elite horsemen were divided into two and roared to meet them. The two sides immediately became a mess.
Deng Sheng's assault front army and Wang Zhong's Youzhou elite collided head-on. Sergeant Yuan was red-eyed and sacrificed his life to fight.
At this time, if you want to survive, you have to kill it, and you have to kill it quickly. The longer it is trapped, the more obvious the advantages of the Northern Frontier Army are, and the slimmer the hope of survival.
Although the Northern Xinjiang Army now has more troops than the Yuan Army, its advantages are limited, and it does not trap the absolute grasp of the Yuan Army, and it is even more difficult to completely annihilate it.
However, once the Northern Frontier Army won victories on other battlefields, reinforcements continued to arrive, and the advantage in strength became greater and greater, then Yuan's army was doomed.
Sergeant Yuan was in the place of death, and if he wanted to put him to death and survive, the only way to escape from the cage was to break the cauldron and step on the opponent's corpse.
The war drums of the "knock ......" charge were like overwhelming thunder, sweeping across the battlefield one after another.
The earth-shattering sound of "kill, kill, kill......" drowned out all the sounds on the battlefield, and it broke through the arrows in the sky and soared straight into the sky like a stone splitting cloud.
Deng rose to the forefront, rushing to the forefront. The generals of all departments forgot about life and death, and led the soldiers who had fallen into madness to fight bravely, advancing step by step.
The army led by the senior cadres followed closely, and the teams of fierce soldiers stared at the bloody battlefield, ready to support at any time, and cut down all the enemies who stood in the way of survival to the ground.
Zhang Nan led the army out of the car formation, and pounced on the opponent with a fierce momentum, completely in a desperate posture.
………………
Yang Ye and Hao Zhao's army had just arrived in the southeast of the battlefield, Yang Ye heard the drums in the enemy formation like thunder, the enemy troops swarmed out, hurriedly let Hao Zhao oversee the army in formation, and he rushed to the front with a team of personal guards.
Xu Rong and Xian Yuyin had already lined up the army and were ready to attack before the enemy army reached the blocking position.
Yang Ye glanced at the rushing enemy for a moment, turned his head and said to Xu Rong: "The rebels are trying to survive, and they look very fierce, but have you noticed it, this is a containment army, and the direction of Gao Gan's breakthrough is not here." ”
"Their formation is very chaotic, and it really doesn't look like the main assault force." Xu Rong took a closer look and said with a smile, "It's best for us to defeat them quickly, so that we can hit the morale of the enemy army hard." ”
"I'll stay here, and you and Xian Yuyin will command the cavalry to cut up diagonally from the enemy's flanks and cut it off at the waist." Yang Ye raised the horsewhip in his hand, pointed ahead, and said easily, "Nine thousand cavalry is enough." ”
Xu Rong asked, "What about you?" Did you then kill the enemy army that surrounded it? ”
"Yes, there's no need to line up." Yang Ye waved his hand and said, "I command the army to surround from three sides, and I will definitely be able to completely annihilate the enemy army." ”
"Alright, let's get out first." Xu Rong arched his hand at Yang Ye, and then said to Xian Yuyin, "Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet...... Sortie, sortie ......"
Zhang Liao saw that Gao Gan led the army to break through the siege, and immediately ordered Lan Yu, who was deployed in the northeast of the battlefield, to attack the enemy formation, asking them to quickly tear apart the enemy's vehicle formation and open an offensive channel for the cavalry.
Lan Yu and Wang Ling each led an army of 8,000 and launched an attack on the enemy formation at the same time.
Liu Shao only had 10,000 men, and all of them were new soldiers brought from Nanyang, so he was seriously inexperienced in combat. When they saw the Northern Xinjiang Army attacking from all directions and pounced like tigers, many soldiers were so frightened that they fled from the car formation.
………………
Ma Chao led the army in a bloody battle, gradually highlighting the encirclement.
Now Huang Zhong's army could not move and stopped on the battlefield. Han Xian's army was already arrayed, but Ma Chao led the army to break through to the southeast, and it was too late to change the formation to intercept it.
Gao Changgong's cavalry numbered about 5,000 people, and although the 10,000 cavalry of the Xiliang people suffered heavy losses after a few hours of hard fighting, and even Yan Xing was captured, they were all the elite of the Xiliang army, and there were still more than 3,000 people struggling to support them.
Gao Changgong and Huangfu Li both thought that the people of Xiliang were sleepy and lacking horses, and the Northern Xinjiang Army had an absolute advantage in strength, and it should be no problem to surround Ma Chao, but who knew that these Xiliang people were tenacious, and they fought for their lives one by one, and they actually rushed out from the flank of the battlefield.
Gao Changgong was furious, and he and Huangfu Li each led an army, taking advantage of the physical strength of the war horse to outflank them again.
………………
In the open field, three cavalry armies rushed like arrows from the string. The three armies first went hand in hand, and then the northern armies on both flanks gradually overtook them, and quickly cut diagonally, and the force was combined.
Ma Chao's eyes were about to split, his whole body was lying on the horse's back, and his feet kicked the horse's belly, but the war horse really couldn't run, and his speed was getting slower and slower.
"Big brother...... You see...... The Northern Xinjiang Army ......" Ma Dai's frightened cry made Ma Chao's heart tremble, and he subconsciously stood up from the horse, raised his current look, and saw that between the distant sky, a cavalry army rushed out.
Ma Chao's mind was in a mess, and he even thought that his eyes were dazzled. But the clear-cut army told him that all this was true.
Ma Chao was shocked in his heart: Could it be that the army of high-ranking cadres has collapsed? Annihilated in such a short time? How many northern cavalry did Li Yi bring into Guanzhong?
"Meng Qi, turn around, turn around quickly......" Pound shouted at the top of his throat, and his cry was particularly terrifying.
Ma Chao was awakened by Pound's voice, and hurriedly shouted: "Turn around, blow the trumpet, turn around...... To the west, to the west......"
Ma Chao shouted loudly, and at the same time used all his strength to pull the reins of the horse, and the war horse stood up in pain.
Probably because he was too tired and exhausted, the hind legs of the war horse could not support the whole body, and he fell to the ground with a "boom".
Ma Chao's eyes were dark, and he was so angry that he almost fainted.
The people of Xiliang didn't wait for the horn to sound, and they had already begun to turn around and run wildly.
Ma Chao got up in embarrassment, the battle helmet fell somewhere, and all the wounds on his body burst out, so painful that he bared his teeth and cracked his mouth, and opened his mouth to scream.
"Big brother......" Ma Dai circled the horse and ran back, so anxious that he yelled, "Big brother, go quickly." ”
The war horse felt the shaking of the ground, and was frightened and frightened, and even neighed, turned over and stood up and ran.
Ma Chao was startled, the spear was stationed, his body flew into the air, and he fell crookedly on the horse's back, followed by a punch and scolded.
The war horse neighed miserably, suddenly exerted force, and its four hooves flew away.
………………
The horn sounded wildly, and the hurried voice was full of anger.
The Northern Frontier cavalry turned around sharply.
Gao Changgong and Huangfu Li were so angry that they trembled all over, and they wanted to kill them immediately and chop them to pieces.
At this moment, Huang Zhong's army was arrayed in the north of the battlefield, Han Xianam's army was in the south of the battlefield, Gao Changgong and Huangfu Li's cavalry had already chased to the southeast of the battlefield, Ma Chao suddenly turned to the west, and no army could stop him, and he rushed out of the battlefield before his eyes.
The unwilling Gao Changgong and the Huangfu Li overseers chased after each other, relying on the speed of the war horse to cover all the way, and the Xiliang people who were chasing after them cried and shouted for their father, hoping that their father and mother would give them a pair of legs.
………………
Li Cunxiao and Gao Zhong slowed down the march of the army.
The situation on the battlefield in the middle is clear at a glance, and the battle is nearing the end at this moment, although the Xiliang people have escaped from the encirclement, but the losses are too heavy and they have lost their combat effectiveness.
After the battle on the middle battlefield was over, the armies of Gao Changgong and Huangfu Li could immediately move to other battlefields to fight, and the Northern Frontier Army had completely controlled the battlefield situation by this point.
"We can go back." Li Cunxiao waved his hand at the horn soldier behind him, and smiled at Gao Changgong, "Order the army to return immediately, lest Gao Gan run away." ”
"If Gao Gan runs away and makes the lord lose face, our life will be sad in the future." Gao Zhong turned his horse's head and laughed loudly, "Go, go, don't delay any longer." ”
………………
"Stop the pursuit...... Stop the pursuit......" Gao Changgong tightened the reins of his horse and shouted wildly. The war horse raised its front hooves in pain, raised its neck and neighed wildly.
Gao Changgong was half-hung in the air, wielding his halberd vigorously, shouting: "Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, don't chase it anymore......"
The front hooves of the war horse hit the ground, and it rushed several steps before it stopped panting.
"Woo woo ......" a long horn sounded in the air, and the sound of the horn carried the excitement of victory, but also full of anger and dissatisfaction. In the case of victory, the Xiliang people were allowed to break through, and the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang were still unwilling.
"Tell the lord that the battle on the middle battlefield has ended, the various departments are rapidly regrouping, and the army can be put into the two flanks at any time, please give the lord an order immediately." Gao Changgong pulled off his battle helmet and raised his wide sleeves while wiping the sweat from his face while shouting in a hoarse voice.
The herald shouted in agreement, and galloped away in the direction of the city.
The soldiers of the northern Xinjiang raised their weapons and cheered, and the roar like thunder resounded through the field.
