(Thank you 774488 for the tips and monthly passes of children's shoes, thank you!) )
Although the Jianghuai platoon is infantry, it is both offensive and defensive, and has the longest weapon, the seven-meter rifle. At the same time, everyone had round iron shields that the light infantry were not equipped with, and all platoon soldiers wore two layers of armor.
Possess the spear of the strongest infantry and the shield of the strongest infantry. This is a contradictory combination, but it is precisely because of this that the Jianghuai Army does not have the light mobility and agility of the light infantry, nor does it have the defense power of the heavy infantry to really rampage on the battlefield, and can ride against each other and be invincible in the front.
But even so, when the Wang family's platoon infantry formed a solid half-moon shield array, and took a steady step, stabbing thousands of long lances towards the Wei army array dozens of steps ago, advancing like a hedgehog, it still made the Wei army feel a burst of heart palpitations.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
One step at a time, in this earth-shattering roar, the momentum of the 30,000 platoons of lancers continued to rise, and finally swallowed the tiger and wolf. The seven-meter-long rifle, with a cold light, pierced into the front line of the Wei army in a loud roar, piercing through the bodies of one Wei soldier after another.
Under the intensive attack of the Jianghuai platoon, the Wei troops who received the battle did not fall one by one, but fell one after another. Every time the dense platoon stabbed out, the Wei army could not resist. Although the front formation is equipped with many shields, no matter how strong the shield array is, it is vulnerable in the face of such a dense row.
In front of the Wei army's formation, the air exuded a pungent blood, and the red mist was misty, which was the mist formed by the blood of the Wei soldiers mixed with the rain in the air. Their blood is flowing in vain. The phalanx of the Jianghuai Army was simply an efficient killing machine with both offense and defense. Although the Wei army was full of fighting spirit, the gap in weapons and strength was quite ruthless, and compared to the well-trained and well-equipped Jianghuai ace army, the Wei army coming from the peasant army was really too far behind. Without even breaking through a phalanx, the Wei army had already suffered casualties among the four battalions at the forefront. In front of the platoon formation of the Jianghuai Army. They were left with many corpses and heavy casualties. The blue tide of the Jianghuai army roared against the red front of the Wei army. The slapping is full of holes.
Li Mi, who was watching the enemy in the middle of the Wei army, also discovered this fact. Although he had been prepared, when he saw the Jianghuai army crushing the Wei army's front like this, he still felt a burst of shortness of breath and his face turned purple.
Li Mi waved his hand. The order was given to retreat slowly.
The trumpeter blew the call for withdrawal with a "whin", and the troops from all walks of life, who had suffered heavy casualties, had no intention of fighting again. The ranks retreated from the front line as if the tide was receding. But at this time, a thunderous cry also sounded at the head of the Jianghuai army: "Long live!" ”
The Jianghuai army has attacked in a big way!
The 20,000 Jianghuai light cavalry arranged on the left and right flanks began to march out, and they suddenly advanced. Pounced on the flanks of the retreating Wei troops. Several battalions of Wei infantry were hastily mobilized. Attempt to intercept the cavalry and buy time for the retreating army. But the infantry was really unbeaten, and at the slightest contact, they were scattered and crushed. Without delay, the Jianghuai cavalry caught up with the Wei army that was retreating from Empress Cang.
The forward general of the Wei army ordered the soldiers to stop retreating and resist on the spot, but the Wei army had just been shocked by the momentum of the Jianghuai army. Morale has declined. The Jianghuai cavalry was amazing, and the flash of a horizontal knife was scorching. The entire queue was blue everywhere, like a raging wave, and only the sound of the impact of swords and the friction of iron armor could be heard, and the murderous aura was overwhelming. The overwhelming horse's hooves seemed to trample the entire Wei army on the road, and suddenly, more than 20,000 Jianghuai light horsemen shouted one after another: "Break the formation!" Suddenly the sky fell apart!
The Jianghuai cavalry has been killed in a blink of an eye! They were not afraid of death, and attacked a part of the defensive formation with a dense queue, the momentum was as fierce as fire, and they cut into the camp of the Wei army like a bamboo, spinning violently, quickly spreading to the left and right, and the Wei army's formation line suddenly collapsed. The infantry, which had lost the cover of the formation, panicked and fled to the rear, but they slashed and killed the Jianghuai cavalry in large areas, just like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, unstoppable. …,
The Jianghuai cavalry made a terrible breakthrough, tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry were scattered like water, and the rout rushed the army behind in chaos. The cavalry of Jianghuai was like a storm, under their iron hooves, like a calm ocean being swept up by a whirlwind, the huge Wei army was completely unable to resist, those dense phalanxes collapsed one after another, the ranks began to be chaotic, and the soldiers fled in panic.
On the battlefield of the melee, Wang Xuanying, who had been standing on the high cloud tower behind the formation and watching the formation, suddenly found that the tall cloud tower in the middle of the Wei army on the opposite side had fallen. The purple banner of the Wei army was already moving towards the mountain.
He frowned slightly, and Wang Xuanshu on the side said excitedly, "Big brother, Li Mi has been defeated." You see, Li Mi's Daxu is retreating, and the rout of the Wei army has become a foregone conclusion. ”
Wang Xuanying didn't have much joy on his face, and Wang Shiwei, Wang Shiyun, Wang Shiheng, Wang Shishi and several others on the other side also frowned.
"Something isn't right." Wang Shiwei said.
"Indeed, although the Wei army is all from mud legs, these Wei troops in Luokou are the real elite in Li Mi's hands. With such a confrontation between the two armies, it is impossible for the Wei army to be defeated so easily, which is too abnormal. Wang Shiyun also said.
Wang Shiheng also agrees with the views of the two brothers, "If something goes wrong, it is a demon, and it seems that Li Mi is playing a trick." ”
Putting down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, Wang Xuan pointed to the battlefield with a few uncles, "Li Mi is indeed playing a trick, Li Mi was defeated so quickly, it was completely out of our expectations." You see, all of our light horsemen on both wings have gone out to attack Li Mi's wings. And our platoon half-moon phalanx has also changed, and now it has changed into a two-sided Xu line formation, directly inserting into Li Mi's rear army and rushing straight to the Chinese army. And our 30,000 light infantry have all stepped forward, and the front ones are already about to catch up with Li Mi's Daxu. ”
When several people heard this, they all picked up the clairvoyant mirror, looked at it carefully, and after a closer look, it was indeed as Wang Xuanying said. Li Mi's army was routed on all fronts, and the Jianghuai army pursued on all fronts. Now Li Mi's army is defeated, and the whole army is scattered, and what they are pursuing is also in an early formation.
"It's not good, Li Mi is cheating, we are in danger." Wang Xuanying's face changed, and his face turned pale.
"Quick, immediately give the order, the whole army will stop the pursuit, and the platoon soldiers will immediately form a half-moon formation on the spot to defend, and the light cavalry will retreat on horseback to protect the two wings of the platoon soldiers. The light infantry formed a formation behind the platoon and prepared to meet the enemy!! Wang Xuanying shouted loudly.
"Yes!" Although the heralds on the side did not understand why King Zheng issued this order when the situation of the Jianghuai army was good, they did not hesitate and immediately sent the order downward.
"Woooooo The trumpets of the Jianghuai army sounded again.
The Jianghuai army, who was vigorously attacking the Wei army's formation and harvesting the lives of the Wei soldiers, was a little dazed when they heard the horn, and they all knew what the order conveyed by this horn was, but they still didn't understand it. Jiang Huaijun hesitated and slowed down the pace of the charge, and slowly formed a formation with his comrades around him with a puzzled look.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a strange scene on the battlefield. The Wei army in the south was in disarray, and the Jianghuai army in the north was no better, and the scattered cavalry and infantry did not even have a neat phalanx.
"Hopefully, it's still too late!" Wang Xuanying looked at the mountain in the distance, his face was pale, and his voice trembled and muttered to himself.
Li Mi stood on a hillside, his face sinking like water. One after another heralds came to report, "King Wei, most of Li Junxian's troops have collapsed, and more than seventy percent of them have been lost. ”
"King Wei, the entire army of Liu Heimin's left front army was destroyed, and General Liu Heimin's life and death are unknown."
"King Wei, the right front army under General Hao Xiaode is gone."
The more Li Mi listened, the more annoyed he became, and his nails had sunk deep into the flesh of his palms.
"King Wei, the time is almost up, give the order!" Shen Luoyan stepped forward and said loudly, according to the plan, we have to wait for a while, and it is best to bring the Jianghuai army over a little more. But now, the soldiers of the Wei army can no longer distinguish between fraud and real defeat, and if it drags on, maybe the fraud will become a real rout. …,
At this moment, there were bursts of horns from the rear formation of the Jianghuai army on the opposite side, and Li Mi's face changed when he heard it.
"Urgently pass on Lone's military order, let Wang Bodang, Xie Yingdeng, Meng Haigong, and Xu Yuanlang immediately lead 40,000 elite cavalry to attack and defeat the Jianghuai army in one fell swoop!"
"Woooooooooooo ~”
The horn of the Jianghuai army to stop the pursuit had just stopped, but the horn of the Wei army on the mountain sounded again. This time, the horn of the Wei army was extremely passionate and the blood was boiling.
In the noisy horn of the Wei army, in the small valley at the foot of the eastern mountain of Pishan, a group of men and horses suddenly appeared.
In the rain and fog, the fiery red Weizi flag fluttered with the war horse. Behind the countless cavalry in fiery red armor rushed straight towards the rumbling hooves, the first two generals, each with a banner behind, on the Great Wei Shangzhu State, Langya Gong, and the right Wuhou general Wang. On the other side, the Great Wei Shangzhu State, Lu Jungong, and Zuo Xiaowei General Xu.
Wang Bodang and Xu Yuanlang each led 10,000 elite horsemen, and rode out from the valley in the east to kill the Jianghuai army.
Wang Shiheng, who was on the cloud tower behind the Jianghuai army, exclaimed, and the clairvoyant mirror in his hand fell into his hand. He exclaimed, "It's over, Li Mi, this kid is actually hiding all the way here, and the time that appeared at this time is so tricky, my Jianghuai Army is in trouble." ”
At the front end of the cloud building, Wang Xuanying's face did not change, and he said lightly, "Li Mi was defeated, deliberately lured us into pursuit, and led us to scatter the formation. Order, platoon soldiers form a circle to defend! ”
As soon as the voice fell, only to hear another muffled thunderous sound from the west, I saw that in the vast rain and fog, in a valley at the foot of the west side of the mountain, another cavalry and ten thousand horses rushed forward. On the banner raised high by the former army, one of them reads the Great Wei Shangzhuguo, Xia Jungong, and the right Xiaowei general Xie. On the other side, it is written on the Great Wei Shangzhu State, the Song County Gong, and the Xiangcheng Taishou Meng.
