Chapter 52: Victory and Defeat (1)
The ancients said that one blow of energy, then decline, and three exhaustion, this is indeed not bad at all. When the two armies fight each other, it is often a matter of who is more tenacious and who can fight for a long time. At this time, the Daijun Army was certainly tired, and the Youzhou Army Jin infantry team that was fighting against the Daijun Army was actually even more embarrassed.
This time, the Youzhou Army intercepted Lu Yao's headquarters and dispatched a total of 14,000 Xianbei soldiers from the Duan Department and the Youzhou Army Headquarters. Among them, in addition to the elite guards who accompanied Wang Jun, the Youzhou Army Headquarters was mainly led by two military masters, Yang Fei and Mai Zeming, with a total of about 5,000 people. At the urging of the Xianbei Governor, these 5,000 people sacrificed their lives to storm the front of the Daijun army, and were put down one by one by a dense array of arrows and spears like leeks, and suffered extremely heavy losses.
When Yang Fei took his own soldiers to the Chinese army to find Wang Jun to appeal, this army was completely under the control of Mai Zeming. He checked the losses of his subordinates, and it was almost forty percent less. Many troops were even killed in the battle as a whole from the head of the team. Even for the fierce Youzhou army, such a loss is too tragic, Rao is Mai Zeming's deep temperament, and he is secretly angry. However, those Xianbei people's supervising officers dared to point fingers and urge him to continue the onslaught. Seeing that Mai Zeming's attitude was perfunctory, those Xianbei people gradually became rude, and even pointed at the tip of Mai Zeming's nose and uttered many humiliating words.
It took some words to persuade a few Xianbei officers to retreat, and Mai Zeming's personal soldiers were already angry. One person said angrily: "Xianbei dog is really not a thing, and we Youzhou Army are regarded as the object of arbitrary drive?" Thanks to the patience of the military masters, otherwise I will definitely take them down and clean them up!" ”
Mai Zeming is a disciple of Youzhou Jiangmen, his father and ancestors are all high-ranking officers in the imperial court, and his family is quite prestigious in Fanyang and Yanguo, and he has always regarded himself very highly. Now that he is being reprimanded by Xianbei people in public, his prestige as the commander of an army is simply gone, how can he not be angry? His thin face was clouded, and after a while, he reluctantly said in a deep voice: "Hu'er is naturally vulgar, let's not care so much, the general will uphold justice." Now...... We still need all of you to work together to defeat the enemy with me. ”
In front of many soldiers, the words are like this, but since the Xianbei people are unwilling to send their own troops, why does Mai Zeming have to fight for the lives of the Jin people. If you follow the command of the Xianbei people, even if you win this battle, you will have to fold all the old foundation of the Youzhou Army here. Anyway, Yang Fei had already gone to the Chinese army to plead on his own, and after a while, the general would have a decision. Thinking like this, Mai Zeming still urged the troops in his mouth, but in fact, he secretly recruited the officers who were close to him to tell him that the departments did not have to move too fast, and if they were to defend the law on behalf of the county army, they would withdraw after shouting.
was planning to preserve his strength, and suddenly heard a commotion in the direction of the Xianbei brigade in the rear. Everyone turned around and looked behind them together, only to hear that the noise was getting louder and louder, and the Xianbei cavalry team, which was originally neat and orderly, gradually became restless. After a while, the noise became louder and louder, and it seemed that many Jin people were shouting hoarsely: "Xianbei people have rebelled!" Xianbei people are reversed! They're going to kill the Jin people! ”
The soldiers around Mai Zeming changed color. The Hu and Jin clans in the Youzhou army originally had a knot in their hearts, and when the whole army was a little restless, that shout was like a little spark on the dry grassland, and suddenly turned into a raging flame and rose into the sky, stirring everyone out of control. After a while, I don't know who was the first to make a move, and I saw that many Xianbei and Jin people in the formation, who were originally close to the stop, had actually begun to slash and kill each other!
"Fuck! Xianbei dog really didn't have a good heart! One of the soldiers roared and drew his sword.
Some people shouted in despair: "The Xianbei people have rebelled!" We're done! ”
"Don't panic! Don't panic! At this time, Mai Zeming calmed down. Regardless of personal likes and dislikes, with Mai Zeming's decades of experience in the army, he would never believe that the Xianbei people would launch a rebellion at this time, let alone that with Wang Jun's control over Hu'er, he would be unprepared for this. He immediately shouted loudly and ordered his soldiers to draw closer to him. No matter what happened in the rear, the entire Youzhou army was in chaos right now. Even in a place far away from the Chinese army, the Xianbei cavalry looked at the Jin soldiers with more and more fierce eyes, and the Jin army, which was about to enter the battle, was even more hesitant and immediately stopped advancing. At this time, any superfluous command is meaningless, the only thing that can be done is to shrink the troops, prevent the possible reaction of the Daijun army, and stabilize the situation first!
It's a pity that the Daijun Army will not give him a chance to stabilize the situation.
"Kill!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
In the formation of the Daijun army, the shouts of killing sounded like an unstoppable tsunami.
The staggered vans moved sparklingly, and when the front and rear vehicles were aligned, the chains connected to the vehicles were suddenly lowered. In the next moment, thousands of Daijun cavalry poured out from the road between the chariots, and even directly lifted the reins of the prancing horses and stepped over the top of the side vans! They are like mighty torrents, rolling up huge waves to break all obstacles, surging in the vast land; Like a raging fire, it breathes scorching flames and burns enemies who dare to resist to ashes!
This is the opportunity that Lu Yao has been waiting for; It is the opportunity that Lu Yao has done his best to create. At this time, the whole army of Daijun cavalry assaulted, and it was easy to be the one!
Youzhou's infantry were always on the offensive, so they were very close to the Daijun army. The Daijun cavalry, who were charging at full speed, came to them in an instant, leaving them barely time to react.
With a loud "bang", Liu Yao, who rushed to the forefront, waved a long lance and knocked the helmet of a Youzhou officer deflated, and the head under the helmet suddenly became sparse, red blood and white brains splashed everywhere, and after crossing an arc, it sprayed like raindrops on the faces of the soldiers of the Youzhou Army who were stunned.
"Kill!" The Daijun cavalry who followed him shouted in unison, piercing into the Youzhou Army's array like sharp blades.
Over the years, the Youzhou army has followed behind the hussar general and the history of the Youzhou assassins, wantonly slaughtering the defenseless Li people and the weak court officers and soldiers, and proved that they are the strongest soldiers in the world with countless brilliant victories. But at the moment they were scared. They had fought fiercely, and they were already feeling exhausted; However, the Xianbei cavalry, which they relied on and feared, had become chaotic, and no one could tell whether they were friends or foes. And the enemy army, which had been fighting with them for an hour without losing the slightest, launched a powerful counterattack at the most suitable time!
When the contemporary county cavalry rushed over with long knives and lances, the sense of fear instantly crushed them!
I don't know who started it, and the array of Youzhou Army's foot soldiers collapsed suddenly. They abandoned their weapons and fled backwards in a desperate attempt to escape. When the cavalry of the modern county pursued them, some of them immediately fell to their knees and surrendered; Occasionally, a few brave men tried to resist, but they were immediately cut off. As soon as the troops in front collapsed, the routs fled in all directions, disrupting the ranks in the rear. Countless people shouted and neighed, and the smoke and dust were billowing, only to see the soldiers of the Youzhou Army wearing their heads, fleeing like driven beasts.
Mai Zeming gritted his teeth so hard that blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. Why did the Xianbei cavalry, who had followed the general for many years, suddenly riot? Why did the mighty and invincible Youzhou Army become so weak? How is this possible? How can it be! Don't...... Is this providential? Mai Zeming felt dizzy, and his body on the horse was shaky.
Brightly armored, he was too conspicuous at this point, and the Daijun archers noticed Mai Zeming, and a row of long arrows flew from the side, knocking down several cavalry clustered around him, and one of them hit the flank of Mai Zeming's mount. The horse screamed, staggered a few steps, and then fell sideways, crushing Mai Zeming's left leg under the horse. Several of his own soldiers rushed forward and dragged him out, and someone shouted in his ear: "Commander! Warlord! What to do? ”
Mai Zeming shook his head, trying to focus his blank gaze in front of him: "What? ”
A pro-soldier couldn't contain his anxiety, so he held Mai Zeming's shoulder and shook it vigorously: "Commander, you said, what should we do?" ”
Mai Zeming sneered, he mentioned the last bit of spirit, raised his hand and slapped the pro-soldier: "What else do you ask!" Run! ”
Mai Zeming is definitely an experienced general, and his judgment is always so accurate, but not necessarily in time. Just as he was shouting to his soldiers, a group of Daijun cavalry rushed from the spurs, and the first knight on a cyan strong war horse looked at Mai Zeming and the others with contempt, and reined in his horse's head.
The knight looked very young, with high cheekbones, a brow as cold as iron, and a gray-white scar on the left cheek, which even in the shadow of the forehead, felt that his eyes were terrifyingly bright. His attire was no different from that of ordinary Daijun cavalry, wearing a heavy iron armor with a sword hanging from his waist. He lifted a lance upside down in his right hand, manipulated the reins freely with his left hand, and rode his horse around Mai Zeming and the others, and with the movement, the blood stained on the lance fell to the ground.
Mai Zeming's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably twice, and large strands of hot sweat suddenly appeared from his forehead, but his hands and feet became cold. His own soldiers were also pale with earthy faces, and some tried to reach for their waist knives, but were immediately stopped by their companions with grinning expressions.
The knight quickly lost interest in Mai Zeming, raised his hand to block the sun, glanced in the direction of the Xianbei people in the distance, and then urged his horse forward. At the same time, he waved his hand to signal his subordinates to hurry up and follow, and said loudly, "Don't pay attention to these miscellaneous fish. Hurry up, let's kill the Xianbei people! Go catch Wang Jun! Go and catch Duan Jilu's family! ”
About two hundred horsemen came out of the battle one after another, and followed closely behind the young knight. Hearing the knight's order, they responded violently, shouting in unison: "Kill the Xianbei people!" Catch Wang Jun! Catch the land of the road! ”
