Chapter 149: The Battle of Chulu XXXI
"Huh... Hah...."
The general in the fiery red cloak laughed a few times, facing the prince on the grassland, although he was laughing, his eyes were still extremely sharp. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shang Xie, the first general of the Lu State, talked with the monarch on the grassland in front of the two formations. And behind them, the swords and guns raised by the two armies did not show any trace of being put down for a long time, and all of them tensed their nerves, and every muscle in their bodies was ready to explode.
Through the dust that was cut by the wind in front of the battle, the two men drew their weapons and pulled away the distance between them.
In the middle of both armies, the lightly armored soldiers immediately took a big step forward. All archers let go of their hands slightly, and the arrows could be shot at any moment.
In the tense situation, the two men in the center of the formation raised their hands heavily with their backs to their soldiers at the same time, and scolded them to retreat.
"What is so special about the young general from Dayu, I really want to see him!" A cold, heavy sword was lifted by Zadar, pointed at Shang Xie, and said suddenly.
"Do you feel sorry? Presumably, in the rear line of our army, the famous general of the Chu State has already been with him. Shang Xie said calmly, "The two of us are like this, presumably the sergeant in the rear must be extremely nervous." Let's go through the big battles!"
"Isn't General Shang afraid that I will change my mind and cooperate with the Chu State? This is a fatal situation for the Lu State!" Zadar waved his big sword, and the two weapons collided, he lowered his body, and the gaze in his eyes forced over.
"This is also a fatal situation for the Pudan Grassland, the fall of the Lu State, how long can the Pudan Grassland exist?" Shang Xie grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it hard, and the sound of the weapon cutting each other came out sharply. He exerted a heavy force on the horse's back, knocking Zadar's body away from him, "If the Lu Kingdom is lucky to win, your Huangyang tribe still has a chance to survive." The two countries in the west are also counting on your Huangyang tribe to further weaken the power of the Lu State, and this situation is what the Great King wants to see. ”
As the words fell, two war horses carried the warriors on horseback past them, and the dust under the iron hooves rose and fell. The two fought more than 50 times in front of the battle. Zadar gasped slightly, and his braided hair was covered with sweat, "That's it for today! Presumably, the spies planted by the Chu State in your and my armies can't see the reality and the power of our Shang generals." ”
"Heh... I will fight you again as a triumphant. Shang Xie laughed softly, and the heavy sword in his hand "poof" entered the sheath, and he saluted goodbye to the man who looked at him from afar.
This is the number of salutes on the battlefield of the Seven Kingdoms after the Great Han, after the battle, if both of them are still alive, the two who are alive should salute and give a person worthy of your greatest respect.
Zadar looked at Shang Xian, who was performing a farewell ritual towards him, and solemnly pressed the palm of his right hand to his chest, giving his opponent respect in the manner of a man on the prairie.
The two of them each pulled the reins, rode away on their backs, and returned to the front of the battle. The soldiers, who had always broken their nerves and muscles, finally relented when they heard the order to "retreat".
The two armies, leaving archers and some heavily shielded soldiers on guard, withdrew like a stream of water.
...............
The ochre-red stirring tide rushed towards the front that the Chu army had just arranged. The arrows of the three long-range arrows were also shot by the archers of the Chu army standing behind the fence at this moment. The infantrymen who charged forward immediately raised their shields in one hand to cover them, and in the other hand held a broadsword with a barb to maintain their formation and charge forward.
The people in the front row fell, and the soldiers of the Lu State in the back row immediately jumped over the fallen corpses to fill the vacancy, still moving forward. The Chu army, which was less than five thousand behind the fence, turned pale, and they looked at the Lu army that suddenly appeared in front of them advancing with flesh and blood against the dense rain of arrows, and their palms were full of sweat.
Most of them were lightly dressed and rode fiery horses. Originally, it was a cavalry army that flanked and attacked from the flank when the two armies were arranged, but obviously, the Lu side had already arranged for this.
When the two armies met in the shadows, the front of the two formations immediately turned into a battlefield where the warriors roared.
The first one of the Lu soldiers was Zuo Li, who took the lead in jumping over the fence on horseback, and beheaded a Chu soldier who rushed up to defend under the horse with a knife.
Before the official battle between Chu and Lu, on the temporary tower in the rear of Chu State, the commander of the Chu army looked at the battlefield from afar, and noticed that the cavalry placed on the side of the flank was vigilantly discovered by the Lu army and was in a battle to the death, and his expression became ugly.
"He is worthy of being a soldier who won the Battle of Changping!" Guo Ya patted the railing of the tower with his hand and sighed, "If he enters the battle gate, I don't know how many fewer people will die on the battlefield!"
Gu Yue, who was standing behind him, didn't speak, he had always thought that the Youming Legion was famous for its iron cavalry, and the person in command must not be too good in terms of infantry troops. But when he saw Xiang Yiming unknowingly planting the heavily armored infantry sergeant in front of the light cavalry with extremely poor defense today, he had to admire Xiang Yiming in his heart.
In terms of infantry field warfare, this seemingly young general seems to have his own set.
On the top of the tower, with a wave of the red flag in the hand of the flag bearer, the formation of the Chu army towards the front attack immediately slowly gathered in the center, and the heavy cavalry swept out of the rear wing and headed towards the flank.
At this time, he was on the tower of the Youming Legion, Xiang Yiming sat at the table in the center with the sword, facing the dishes on the table, he didn't look at it, seeing that the formation of the Chu army had changed to a more defensive formation, he said slowly to the standard-bearer on the side, "Fight to the right, let General Zuo Li bypass the enemy and return to defense, the enemy is going to really attack." ”
When the solemn-faced standard-bearer heard Xiang Yiming's words, his face showed surprise. Based on his experience, the Chu army showed signs of retreating, and at this time, it was even more important to put on a posture of advancing.
"What are you doing in a daze?" Xiang Yiming saw the flag bearer look back at him, and he scolded heavily. He understood what the standard-bearer was thinking, if his secret teacher hadn't taught him the method of arranging the formation when he was in the Chu State, he might have entered the trap of the past today.
At this time, although the Chu army gathered in the center, the two wings were quietly dispersed. If he ordered his soldiers to charge up, the two wings of the Chu army would immediately disperse, cutting off the soldiers in front of and behind the other sergeants. The order hesitated, and the two wings of the Chu army would immediately converge towards the center, converging into the shape of a sharp blade and slashing into the middle.
This is the famous "Yuanran" big array of the battle gate, and all the willows and flowers happen in an instant.
The standard-bearer on the tower of the Youming Legion shuddered, and he immediately waved the green flag, ordering Zuo Li on the left wing to immediately retreat to the right with Lu Guoshi's soldiers.
The frightened light cavalry of the Chu State who was killed saw the Lu army retreating without hesitation, and they were obviously stunned for a moment.
