Chapter 1473 Life and Death Defense Line
Since the toad soldiers can take on such a function, they themselves know the arduousness of this task, as long as they are dispatched, they will inevitably be attacked by enemy archers.
They had already had such psychological preparation in their hearts, so in the face of the rain of arrows, the shrimp toad soldiers did not have the slightest fear, and still moved forward bravely.
After filling in the pit, they still pushed forward and pounced on the open trench.
Since the launch, the cavalry has been in the limelight, and the infantry has not broken through the city of Hezhou for several days, and the infantry is facing great pressure.
The distance is closer, and the casualties will naturally be more, Gu Liangchen's cavalry corps waited quietly, although the cavalry group and the infantry group had private contradictions, but at this moment, seeing the shield soldiers and shrimp toad soldiers of the Tianshan Mountains as if they were going home to fill the road, the cavalry was also amazed in their hearts, Gu Liangchen suddenly raised his sword and shouted: "The infantry is mighty, the infantry is mighty!" ”
Thousands of cavalry behind him immediately raised their swords, the swords were like a forest, a crescent moon had floated in the sky, the moonlight on the edge of the sky shone on the swords, the cold light was dignified, and they shouted in unison: "The infantry is mighty, the infantry is mighty!" ”
At this moment, they admired from their hearts, and encouraged the infantry soldiers who paved the road in front, and the infantry heard the cavalry shouting like this, and their morale was even more boosted.
Chu Huan watched the shrimp toad soldiers desperately fill in the trenches, but he also sighed a little in his heart, secretly thinking that the Tianshan Army was really not a group of rabble, and today's battle seemed to be really fierce.
Pei Ji looked solemn at this time.
In the frontal direction, whether it is the cavalry or infantry of the Tianshan Mountains, the main force has gathered here, Hou Jingang led tens of thousands of cavalry, unfolding more than ten miles long, after an order, it has rushed straight down from the soil slope, like a flood tilting.
There was no trench dug in the valley of taming, but there was a visit to the horn pile, and after the cavalry who rushed in front swooped down, he waved his knife and cut the horn pile, trying to remove it, although many of the horn piles were damaged, but there were still many cavalry who were tripped by the horn piles, and the people turned over on their backs.
It's just that the cavalry of the Tianshan Mountains is like a flood, and the morale is in full swing, the sheep's horn piles can't resist at all, and the cavalry who rushed into the valley quickly rushed to the vicinity of the dirt slope here, and Pei Ji had already ordered the archers to use arrows to do the first round of attacks, among the horse team, from time to time there were cavalrymen on their backs, but the battle line of more than ten miles long, everywhere was full of Tianshan cavalry, in the sound of fighting, blood stained loess, corpses were all over the ground, the cavalry sprinted, it was indeed very spectacular, and their mobility was beyond the reach of the infantry, just a moment, there were already soldiers rushing to this sideto climb upwards.
The war horses of the cavalry of the Tianshan Mountains, mainly the northwest horses, are full of endurance, and the climbing ability is really not weak, and soon many cavalry climbed to the edge of the wooden fence on the slope, and cut it with a knife, wanting to cut the wooden fence, as long as it can open a gap, it is like breaking the embankment, and the cavalry behind can flood in.
The frontal defense of the Xiguan army was of course prepared, knowing that this side was a bitter battle, and when the cavalry rushed closer, the archers had already retreated to the back, and the Xiguan pikemen with spears quickly stepped forward, and when the cavalry rushed up, slashed the wooden fence with a knife, the pikemen had already poked out their spears from the gaps in the wooden fence and stabbed at the Tianshan soldiers.
Inside and outside the wooden fence, there are people who are pressed by black, Jin Ge fights, and the sound of fighting is everywhere inside and outside.
Because of the geographical situation of the Horse Taming Valley, the cavalry of the Tianshan Mountains had no way to directly cross the wooden fence wall, and they had to cut through the wooden fence and kill the gap.
In fact, the horse farm itself has no strategic value, the purpose of the Tianshan Army, of course, is not to occupy the horse farm, but to break through the defense line and kill into the horse farm, so that the cavalry gallops across the horse farm, and the Xiguan army is considered to be brave, in the horse farm, the infantry cannot be the opponent of the cavalry in any case.
As long as the cavalry breaks into the horse farm, then the level of combat strength is judged at the moment, unless the Xiguan army has no choice but to surrender, it will evolve into a brutal massacre of cavalry against infantry.
Similarly, for the Xiguan army, there is no way to retreat in the horse farm, of course, they also know that once the cavalry breaks into the horse farm, the only thing they can rely on now is the barrier of the wooden fence wall, and they can only use this only barrier to fight to the death with the enemy, because with this barrier, the advantage of the cavalry can not be fully wielded, and the infantry can completely fight with the cavalry here.
The sound of killing shook the sky, Zhu Lingyue had already seen his cavalry rushing towards the horse farm like a flood, and he also heard the sound of fighting from the north and south directions, and the situation of siege on three sides had been completely formed.
This is a battle related to the belonging of the northwest, and Zhu Lingyue knows very well that in today's battle, no matter who wins, he and Chu Huan will have one of them become the veritable king of the northwest.
Although the Tianshan army occupies an obvious upper hand, but this low-key and cautious governor of the Tianshan Mountains still has a solemn expression, one hand always holds the hilt of the war knife at his waist, looks ahead, and looks at the past in the north and south directions from time to time.
"Lord Governor, the cavalry has charged!"
"Report, Lord Governor, the cavalry has encountered a trap and lost a lot of men and horses!"
"Report to the Governor, the cavalry has stopped attacking, and the infantry has rushed forward."
"The shield soldiers have covered the shrimp toad soldiers filling in the trenches!"
"Report, the first trench has been filled, and the second trench is approaching!"
"Report to the Governor, the Xiguan Army has fierce arrows, and our army has suffered a lot of losses!"
The continuous battle reports kept coming, and although Zhu Lingyue's expression remained unchanged with each battle report, his eyes changed at any time.
"Xuantong, when do you think we can lay down the racecourse?" Zhu Lingyue suddenly turned his head to look at Sheng Xuantong beside him.
Sheng Xuantong is the commander of the infantry and the brain of the Tianshan Infantry Group, who has followed Zhu Lingyue for many years, is loyal, and is one of the few trusted subordinates of Zhu Lingyue.
The main cavalry force led by Hou Jingang attacked from the front, while Sheng Xuantong and Ming Ji, two infantry heavyweights, followed Zhu Lingyue's side and pressed the formation behind, ready to attack at any time.
"Zhu Du, although Chu Huan is cunning, but in this situation, he can't play any tricks." Sheng Xuantong is full of confidence, "Zhu Du came with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, Hou Jingang, Di Renjie, and Gu Liangchen all have the courage of ten thousand people, they are first-class generals, our army is besieged on three sides, and the Xiguan army is already the end of the strong crossbow, and it won't last long!" ”
Zhu Lingyue sighed lightly: "I hope so." Then he smiled and said: "Xuantong, it seems that you have a high opinion of Hou Jingang!" ”
"Zhu Du, if you want to be loyal to Zhu Du in the end, you must distinguish between public and private." Sheng Xuantong said solemnly: "Hou Jingang is arrogant, and the last general is indeed a little unaccustomed to it, but today's battle is related to the great cause of Zhu Du, although the last general hates Hou Jingang, but this person is really brave, Zhu Du is already smart!" ”
When Zhu Lingyue heard this, he stroked his beard and smiled: "We work together, this battle will be won!" ”
Hou Jingang is indeed brave, he waved his sword, commanded the cavalry to rush forward one after another, although he saw that many of the cavalry who rushed up to break through were stabbed to death by spears, but at this moment the entire cavalry array has been pushed to the edge of the wall, and the Xiguan army is in short contact, but there are soldiers who fall in front, and there are cavalry in the back in an instant to make up for the fight.
The cavalry fought against the spears that came out from behind the bars, and on the other hand, they slashed the bars as much as they could, and as long as they could cut them down, they could storm in.
But the Xiguan army obviously knows this, and does not give the other party a chance to destroy the wooden fence at all, the narrow openings in the middle of Mulan, sometimes there are five or six spears pierced out at the same time from top to bottom, the cavalry has three heads and six arms, no matter how brave it is, it is also difficult to resist, many people are poked to death by random guns in an instant, and the gap is like a trap, waiting for the arrival of the Tianshan cavalry.
At this time, the men and horses on both sides took the wooden fence as the benchmark, the internal and external gathering, although the horse taming valley was full of Tianshan cavalry, but the cavalry in front could not be killed, and of course the back could not be squeezed, a wooden fence, plus the Xiguan soldiers behind the wooden fence, for a time it was like an insurmountable moat.
The soldiers on both sides concentrated on this line to fight, the neighing and screaming, the shouts of people and the neighing of horses were intertwined, bloody and cruel, but extremely spectacular.
"Xuantong, do you know that there is one thing that the governor admires Chu Huan very much." The earth-shattering sound of fighting reached Zhu Lingyue's ears, and Zhu Lingyue suddenly sighed.
"Oh?" Sheng Xuantong asked, "What does Zhu Du mean?" ”
"Backbone!" Zhu Lingyue said: "Compared with Xiao Huanzhang, Chu Huan has much backbone. At the beginning, the governor did not have the help of the Northwest Army, and Xiao Huanzhang had also been operating in Beishan for many years, but he was begging for perfection from the governor's committee, which seemed to be forbearing, but in fact, the governor knew that if Chu Huan hadn't come to the northwest, Xiao Huanzhang would only be in the hands of the governor, and he couldn't turn over the wind and waves. But Chu Huan knew that the Tianshan Army and the Northwest Army were joining forces, and he would definitely be defeated in Xiguan, but this person still raised the battle flag and fought with the governor. If he does not choose to resist and submits to the Governor, the Governor may not give him a way to live. ”
Sheng Xuantong said with a smile: "It's just young and vigorous, I don't know how thick the sky is, I'm afraid that Chu Huan will regret it now!" ”
Zhu Lingyue sighed lightly: "I hope he doesn't regret it, I hope he can fight until the last moment, killing a hero is much better than killing a coward!" ”
The battle was fierce, not only the frontal attack and defense were brutal, but the north and south sides were also in close contact at this time.
The shrimp toad soldiers paid a heavy price, five or six hundred people, most of the dead and wounded, and finally filled out a broad road for the cavalry behind, and the Tianshan cavalry was already ready to wait, the horn sounded, the shrimp toad soldiers who completed the task under the cover of the shield soldiers, have begun to retreat backwards, and the Tianshan cavalry, which has been waiting for a long time, has been preparing in formation, and when the infantry retreats, in the sound of the horn, Gu Liangchen's war knife pointed forward, people shouted horse neighing, and the cavalry charged like a tide.
