Chapter 240: Capture the thief and capture the king
In the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, Chen Kefu can't see the situation of the entire battlefield at all, he needs a pair of eyes to command for him!
Li Benlei and several other generals at the head of the city visited the town to observe the enemy army for Chen Kefu, and guided them through the heralds on the Diao Tai with flags.
After receiving the finger promotion to the east, Chen Kefu yelled, "To the east!" East! ”
One roar after another was passed backwards, and the heavy cavalry began to gradually move eastward.
The heavy cavalry, guided by the head of the city, basically broke through the gap between the enemy along the way. Although there were still a lot of soldiers and horses along the way, it was not enough to stop the heavy cavalry attack.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves kept ringing, and the hooves of all fours flew and the earth flew. Under the guidance of the banner of breaking the army, the army went all the way to the east and was invincible!
"Marshal, the ironclad cavalry of the Sui Army has appeared!" Gao Jianwu said to Yizhi Wende with a worried face.
The ironclad cavalry is so strong that it is simply unstoppable, and if this continues, the first two sides who will not be able to hold up after a day of fighting are likely to be the coalition forces. Gao Jianwu had never fought with the ironclad cavalry, but he also knew that Chen Pojun, the commander of the Sui army, dared to attack the 80,000 people of Yizhi Wende with 1,000 ironclad cavalry, so the combat effectiveness of this cavalry can be imagined.
Echiwende's brows furrowed, and his eyes were full of angry fire. The road is narrow, and the narrow road meets!
Eulji Mundeok was originally a general in the Goguryeo army and has always been known as a master of the art of war. Especially since Sashui annihilated the 300,000 Sui army, his personal honor has reached the top level and he has become the military god of the Goguryeo people. But it was when he was a dignified military god and led 80,000 light horsemen to the north, preparing to build another feat like Sashui. This damned Chen Pojun appeared, and a thousand cavalry broke through his 80,000 cavalry, causing him to be flanked by the Sui 200,000 army and annihilated. And it was this person before, a few days ago, he just killed his own brother Yizhi Wude. The hatred of the country and the family came to my heart in an instant.
"But with only a few thousand ironclad cavalry, does he really think that he is already invincible in the world?
Did he think that his cavalry, with iron armor, would really be invulnerable? If he doesn't come out, he can live for a while and a half, since he can't wait so much, and rushes out to die, then Ben Shuai will fulfill him.
Passed on the commander's order, and transferred 10,000 light cavalry to General Golin into battle, so as not to entangle them. The four generals of Tiaokejin, Yuanhu, Gao Rong, and Ezhi Zheng each unified 10,000 infantry and 20,000 slaves, and gave me a big shield.
The spear array surrounded it on all sides. Ben Shuai has already seen that Chen Kefu's handsome banner is among the cavalry, and Ben Shuai wants to capture him alive! ”
Gao Jianwu's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "The handsome man is really easy to arrange, as long as he is surrounded on all sides, no matter how strong he Chen Kefu is, he will have to be captured alive." At that time, even if Liaodong City cannot be captured today, as long as Chen Kefu is caught, then Liaodong City will be defeated. ”
The last reserve troops of the Goguryeo coalition army were dispatched, and by this time, there were several thousand men and horses around them in addition to the Eulji and other large armies. The entire coalition of more than 200,000 troops and more than 300,000 slaves have all spread over the battlefield of Liaodong City like ants.
The light cavalry of 10,000 people in the city galloped towards the heavily armored cavalry under the leadership of the Liao general Gao Gao Lin, and behind them were 5,000 cavalry under the command of Tie Da'an. Fifteen thousand light cavalry, although unable to compete head-on with the heavy cavalry, can control and entangle them, and buy crucial time for the infantry to surround them.
The city heads on all sides continue to tear and kill, and the sky is ashamed of the night.
The wind is howling, the horses are neighing, and countless flags are flying!
"Dashuai, turn south!" The heralds shouted in unison!
Chen Kefu did not hesitate and immediately ordered to turn south. At this time, the entire heavy cavalry had already smashed into the vast crowd of the enemy army, and he couldn't see clearly where there was a way to live and where to die.
At this time, he unconditionally believed in General Li Benlei, who was guided by the city head.
Fifteen thousand allied cavalry arrived, but they only saw puffs of smoke and dust from a distance. The Sui army's heavy cavalry turned, not to mention entanglement, they didn't even see the noon shadow.
"Keep chasing!"
The hoplites advanced all the way, leaving all the coalition soldiers in their way vulnerable. One after another, the soldiers and slaves fell on the iron hooves, and along the way, under the guidance of Li Benlei, the entire hoplite cavalry specially sought out the small soldiers and horses that had been gathered, and the large number of slaves.
Again and again, the attack was defeated and scattered one by one. In particular, most of the slaves were only held by a small group of Goguryeo, and they were rushed by the Sui army, and all the slaves scattered in all directions. ,
With Li Benlei's guidance, the tens of thousands of coalition soldiers and horses could not surround the heavy cavalry at all, and every time they opened a large net to surround them. But in the end, the heavy riders could always calmly rush through those gaps.
After nearly half an hour, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and tens of thousands of slaves of the entire coalition army were tired of running, jumping up and down, tired and almost out of strength. Gao Jianwu and Ezhi Wende's faces were getting worse and worse, and they finally saw that although this heavy cavalry seemed to be constantly rushing left and right, there was no half-nod order. But until now, they have always been able to escape before their soldiers and horses are encircled.
And the heavy ride will be east and west, and the next will be ...... In the charge of the north, this Sui army made its own side closer and closer. Seeing that there were still more than a thousand steps to rush to this side at most, Gao Jianwu shouted, "Not good, Marshal, the purpose of this Sui army's heavy cavalry is not to impact the soldiers and horses under the city." Their goal is us, and they must have someone watching and guiding them, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to escape our encirclement again and again! The two glanced at each other, and suddenly appeared, I don't know when the Sui army held on to the various cities in Liaodong actually erected one platform after another. Even from a distance of more than ten miles from Liaodong City, they could clearly see that there were soldiers waving flags on it.
His face changed in unison, and he sighed in his heart, careless.
"That's right, it seems that the standard-bearer on the platform at the head of the city is the herald, and there are people at the head of the city in Liaodong who are watching and guiding them. Their goal is definitely the handsome banner of Ben Shuai. Otozhi Wende's face sèyīn sank.
Among the three armies, the handsome flag is very important, and once the handsome flag falls, morale will inevitably be greatly lost. Especially on the battlefield that has been fought for a whole day now, if the banner of the coalition forces suddenly falls, the already exhausted coalition soldiers may even collapse.
Huang Ge, the young patriarch of the Heishui Mòhé clan on the side, couldn't help but look ugly when he heard that the heavy horse was coming towards them. Now under the banner of Shuai, only 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 Goguryeo infantry are left. With such a few people, he didn't believe that he could stop the fierce ironclad cavalry.
"Dashuai, or let's avoid the edge for the time being, and move the handsome flag back!"
Gao Jianwu glanced at Huang Ge with disdain, "Shuai Qi is the courage of an army, and it can only advance and not retreat during the war!" As soon as the handsome flag retreats, the morale of the army will inevitably be greatly discharged, and this way to defeat is also! "Passing on the commander's order, General Gao Lin quickly retreated to the commander's banner, and the four generals Kejin, Yuanhu, Gao Rong, and Yizhi led their troops to surround the commander's banner on all sides. In addition, send someone to shoot down the heralds on the platform at the head of Suicao City to cut off the connection between the city head and Chen Kefu's children. ”
At this time, it is no longer possible to retreat, and Ezhi Wende is also a ruthless person. simply ordered to directly use himself as bait to attract the arrival of Chen Kefu's heavy cavalry, and then directly encircled Shuai Qi with other soldiers and horses. Without the guidance of the city head, he didn't believe that Chen Kefu could escape his palm this time. "Marshal, we only have 8,000 people, I'm afraid we can't stop that ironclad cavalry!" Huang Ge looked unwilling, eight thousand people resisted this heavy horse, he was not sure. More importantly,
Of these 8,000 men, 3,000 were his mòhé cavalry, and whether he succeeded or failed, he would be pushed to the front line at that time.
One by one, the cavalry was ordered to run quickly on the battlefield, and the orders of Etozhi Wende were quickly spread to the ears of all the generals.
With the command of Eji Wende, the coalition army under the city mobilized a large number of archers to focus on attacking the heralds on the city. Under the suppression of the dense rain of arrows, the last one died, and Liaodong City and Chen Pojun completely lost contact.
"Vice Marshal, what now? , , Li Jie and other generals have already seen that Yizhi Wende's handsome banner has become a trap, and countless soldiers and horses are stretching their nets towards the handsome banner. If at this time, Chen Kefu continued to break through to Yizhi Wende's handsome banner, it would really be a headlong into a trap.
"Deputy marshal, let me take the rest of the cavalry out of the city, and I'll go pick up the marshal back!" Zhang Jin, Chen Feng, Chen Lin and other generals of the Chen family said anxiously.
Marching Sima Maoxi gritted his teeth and said, "The marshal must not allow any mistakes, send all the cavalry out of the city, and take the marshal back." This sentence did not seem to be asking the deputy marshal Li Benlei.
Before Li Benlei could speak, Chen Feng, Chen Lin, Zhang Jin and other generals had already turned around and rushed down to the city.
Chen Kefu's heavy cavalry was still charging, and the handsome banner of the Liao people was not far away. The purpose of the heavy cavalry out of the city is very simple, to capture the thief and capture the king first, just to cut down the banner of the coalition army, and force the Liao people who command the battle to retreat, then the entire Liao army besieging the city will inevitably be in chaos.
As soon as the banner fell, the allied army, which had lost its command and had been fighting for another day, would no longer be able to fortify the city.
"Marshal, the herald in the city was shot by the Liao, and he can't get in touch with the deputy marshal!" Jin Wuxi sank, and only the last bit of afterglow was left in the sky.
The cold wind blew up Chen Kefu's cloak, he raised the corners of his mouth, and sneered softly, did he finally reveal the secret of their flag command? I looked up at the Liao Shuai Banner, which was less than a thousand paces away, and the thousands of allied troops who were desperately forming in front of the Shuai Banner. He said loudly, "The banner of the enemy's coalition forces is just around the corner, and success or failure is here!" Brothers who broke the barracks, cut down the banner and beheaded the commander of the Liao army! The glory belongs to us, and the broken barracks will win! Kill! "Kill!"
In the afterglow, the heavy cavalry did not hesitate for a moment, with billowing smoke and dust, carrying the rumbling thunder, all the cavalry bowed their bodies, flat-ended horses, in order to make a final charge!
Some people say that it is inconvenient to read large chapters, so I will now change it to a chapter of 3,000 words! Hehe, ask for a ticket!
