Chapter 34: Life and Death on the Battlefield

It was the cavalry of the Tongluo Division, compared with the remnants of the remnants who broke through in the Saohe Valley, their strength was relatively well preserved, and the momentum of three or five hundred war horses tapping on the ice was very terrifying.

The Xin'an united soldiers fought with the cavalry of the Tongluo Department several times, and they were the ones they hated the most, and there was a bang when they landed. There were already people who were ready to turn around to face the battle, but without Qin Jin's military orders, they couldn't act rashly.

In an instant, he saw that the soldiers of the Tongluo tribe drew an arc on the river surface and outflanked them, and the soldiers were directly aimed at the rebels of Cui Qianyou's department.

Qin Jin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that these defeated troops of the Tongluo Department were also bullied by Cui Qianyou's department, so they had today's counterattack.

It's a strange thing to have a sense of identity, and it's a rope that has twisted several strands of people who were originally not affiliated with each other. Qin Jin will not let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, "Kick the crossbow, shoot a salvo!"

The rain of arrows rained like springs, cutting through the north wind and smashing fiercely towards the oncoming rebels of Cui Qianyou's troops.

The improvised coalition forces had a sudden advantage, and at first they did catch the remaining infantry of Cui Qianyou's troops by surprise, but under the command and dispatch of the opposing general, this situation was quickly reversed. The cavalry of the Tongluo Department seemed to be sharp, but in fact, their morale had long been exhausted, and under the threat of Cui Qianyou's bow and crossbow, there were quite a few casualties, and their morale was immediately demoralized. The other three or four hundred foot soldiers did not get much better.

In comparison, it was the Qin Jin Division that withstood a powerful offensive, and they successfully suppressed the counterattack of Cui Qianyou's department with the cooperation of the crossbow and the Mo knife hand. Defensive warfare has become what the Xin'an United Soldiers are best at, and several victories with fewer have made them psychologically not afraid of any strong enemy's attack.

Soon, the frontal attack stopped, and the two divisions were facing each other, but the flanks were in full swing.

Qin Jin had always been behind the military formation, and most of his attention fell on the remnants of the Tongluo and Sun Xiaozhe divisions. Obviously, under the blows of Cui Qianyou's troops, the battle line began to gradually collapse, and the cavalry lost its impact and was not even as good as the foot soldiers.

This is not counting, Qin Jin found that a group of foot soldiers of about a few hundred people was rushing towards the ice of Honglu Water in the distance, and it was obvious that these people planned to go around their backs and attack them back and forth.

"Wave the flag, let the two troops shrink the battle line, and merge with our department!" Qin Jin immediately made a decision, without the slightest hesitation.

The flag in the hands of the flag bearer waved again, and the horns whined.

The Tang army's method of communication in the battle formation played a crucial role at this moment, and the first to react were the foot soldiers of Cui Qianyou's department, who immediately gathered together and moved closer to the right rear flank of Qin Jin's department step by step.

The rebels of Cui Qianyou's army immediately filled the gap in the battlefield and surrounded the Tongluo army, intending to kill it.

Although both sides are subordinates of An Lushan, they don't think about the incense at all, and they don't frown when they are killers.

Qin Jin felt a big headache, on the entire battlefield on the east bank of Honglu Water, there were only more than 2,000 people fighting together, and it was not necessarily easy to distinguish the winner for a while, just because the two sides were evenly matched. But now that the soldiers of Tongluo were suddenly under siege, this fragile balance was in danger of being upset in an instant.

But there is nothing they can do, and if they take the liberty of doing something, it will only exacerbate the deterioration of the situation.

Now there are two paths in front of Qin Jin, one is for everyone to get on their horses and quickly leave the battlefield, and the other is to concentrate on defeating the enemy in front of them, and then calmly leave the battlefield. Obviously, there are many uncertain risks in both, and the former can easily get stuck with the enemy and fall into a heavy siege like the Tibetan soldiers of Tongluobu. If the latter is chosen, once the enemy forces are surrounded by superior forces, there is only one way left to fight to the death, and if the enemy soldiers cannot be repulsed, there is only a dead end waiting for them.

Suddenly, a burst of heavy drinking attracted everyone's attention, and they saw that in the Tongluo tribe that was under siege, a strong general of the army poked the iron-clad enemy soldier with the iron halberd in his hand, and actually provoked him alive, and then threw it out. This has been done several times in a row, and one of the captains of Cui Qianyou's department was poked by an iron halberd before he could dodge, and if it hadn't been for his subordinates who dragged him back, I am afraid that he would have been picked to death

At the critical moment, the personal bravery shocked the Cui Qianyou Department in front of them, who did not have a numerical advantage.

"Shoot him, shoot him!"

Immediately someone shouted, and then the cold arrow swished past, the same Luo Fan general did not dodge, the feather arrows of the two stone bows shot on the iron frame, seven or eight out of ten crackled and fell to the ground, only a few drilled into the crack and nailed into the flesh, but this person did not move, as if he was bitten by a mosquito.

A long arrow sank into the front neck of the warhorse, only to hear Herod scream, and the horse fell to the ground with a bang. The general was caught off guard and rolled down on the snow, and the foot guards of Cui Qianyou's department saw the opportunity and rushed up, ready to chop this evil god to death. Unexpectedly, the iron halberd in the other party's hand did not let go, and it was swept out violently and immediately swept away.

Qin Jin secretly smacked his tongue, he couldn't imagine that there was such a brave general in the ancient battle array. Then he sighed again, but it was a pity that this kind of melee with individual bravery was useless in the face of the coordinated united soldiers' gun array.

The battle has reached this point, and there is no way to do it, and both sides are obviously the elite of Fan Yang's iron cavalry, but it seems that they are fighting together in the countryside for irrigation water sources, carrying hoes and sickles.

Qin Jin realized that this was an opportunity to turn the situation around in one fell swoop, and immediately led a whole team of united soldiers with a total of fifty people on their horses and went straight to the melee battlefield hundreds of steps away.

No one expected that Qin Jin would rush over with dozens of cavalry, and at a distance of three or four hundred steps, the four hooves of the war horse were planed, and they soon reached extreme speed. First, a flurry of crossbow arrows shot out indiscriminately, and then it crashed into it with a powerful impact.

Suddenly, Cui Qianyou's department was knocked into chaos and scattered. Although there were many foot soldiers surrounding Tongluobu, they coveted to encircle and annihilate them, and divided the people in all directions, which caused the depth in each direction to be not large, so it was only one impact to crush it.

Qin Jin didn't care whether the soldiers of the same Luo tribe could understand the Chinese dialect, and shouted to himself: "Don't fall in love with war, let the war horses run, follow me, rush out!"

One, two, three...... More and more soldiers from the Tongluo tribe drove their horses to the opening that Qin Jin led his troops to knock out. Nafan killed the war horse, and found an ownerless war horse in the chaotic army, turned over and rushed straight to Qin Jin.

"The grace of saving lives, Wuhu Huaizhong has written it down!"

The battle formation was in a hurry, how could Qin Jin have the kung fu to talk nonsense with the other party, "Hurry up!" Only fifty cavalry rushed into battle, and after losing their impact, it was nothing more than filling them with meat again. In contrast, Qin Jin was more afraid that the enemy soldiers facing each other head-on would take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

Now we can only hope that in the melee, the opponent will not be able to effectively stop the attack, as long as the timing is right, you can calmly advance and retreat.

……

"Report! Li Wanzhong sent people to ask for help! Several remnants of Sun Xiaozhe's troops have rebelled!"

A wave of anger rose in Cui Qianyou's eyes, and it disappeared in an instant.

He knew that Li Wanzhong's subordinates had blackmailed and bullied these remnants, for example, the day before yesterday, they forcibly seized hundreds of war horses from the Tongluo Division, and in the conflict, they killed the brother of the leader of the Luo Division. But this was all done with his acquiescence, and it was already a gift from heaven that the remnants of the defeated army could survive their lives, and the horses, women, and wealth should have belonged to the victors.

Cui Qianyou just didn't expect that this remnant army could still make Li Wanzhong, who has always been brave, suffer a loss.

He glanced at Yuzhou City, "Mingjin collects his troops and postpones the siege!"

The army did not move to the east of Honglu Water, but rested on the spot a stone's throw away from the city of Yuzhou. Cui Qianyou led a thousand guards to the east bank of Honglu Water to quell the chaos. Originally, he didn't need to be the commander of the army to go out for such things, but he wanted to see what kind of virtue and ability the subordinates of the "Lady of the Horse" were, and Li Wanzhong, who had superior troops, was helpless.

Arriving at the west bank of Honglu Water, Cui Qianyou stopped and watched.

I saw that in the midst of the siege, the three remnants of the army had a zigzag shape, relying on each other to fight.

Cui Qianyou blinked his eyes, in disbelief, it was not a battle at all, the battle formation in the shape of a character was clearly rushing to the left and rushing, but Li Wanzhong's subordinates were tired of coping.

Immediately, Cui Qianyou immediately understood the reason. The reason for Li Wanzhong's distress was that he wanted to encircle the other party, but he only had about 3,000 men and horses, and if he wanted to encircle and annihilate a well-commanded military formation, he would inevitably be overstretched.

If Li Wanzhong can concentrate all his strength on one point and strike hard, the opponent will inevitably be unable to stop and will definitely lose the battle. But in this way, the remnants of this rebellion also happened to disperse in a hurry, not to mention that Li Wanzhong was unwilling, even he Cui Qianyou was unwilling.

The three remnants of the army can echo each other from afar, and there must be a very powerful character acting as the commander. Thinking of this, Cui Qianyou suddenly changed his mind, "Tell Li Wanzhong that as long as those remnants are willing to quit the army, this commander can not blame the past!"

……

"It must be a trick, Shaofujun can't be gullible!"

The war was in full swing, and the other side suddenly shouted that as long as the troops were dismissed, they would not be blamed for the past, who could believe that this was not the other party's trick in Huanong?

Qin Jin suddenly noticed the banner that suddenly appeared in the direction of Honglu Water, and the Cui character of Douda was particularly eye-catching. An idea suddenly came to his mind, presumably the conflict had already caught Cui Qianyou's attention. Why didn't he send a large army to directly crush him? On the contrary, he wanted to strike the army and make peace, knowing that with only a few thousand people, it would be absolutely impossible to resist the all-out blow of Cui Qianyou's army.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly shouted from the other side: "Which is the main general?" General Cui intends to meet ......."

As the words landed, the foot soldiers around them spread out, and they saw an iron-clad bearded general stop a stone's throw away under the arch of the army.
