Breaking the Game (4)

The cold light reflected on the tip of the arrow formed a straight line with the throat of the Mongolian warrior sixty paces away, and the Mongolian centurion fell in response.

Collecting the bow, lifting the knife, and riding the horse, the three actions were completed in one go, and Chen Hangyan rushed out with his personal guards. The Broken Blade flashed into a blue shadow in the sunlight, pouring snow on the boiling soup, breaking through a hole in the Yuan army. More than 1,000 cavalrymen of the Broken Army followed this opening, and in an instant, cut the Yuan army blocking in front of them into two sections.

The three low-ranking officers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty tried to block the offensive of the Broken Army, and rode their horses to meet Chen Hangyan. As soon as he took a look, he was shot over by Chen Hangyan's guards with a hand crossbow. The other two ignored the life and death of their companions, one left and one right outflanked them, Chen Hangyan hit the horse to meet him, stretched out his knife to slash away the opponent's hard blow, and the broken blade took advantage of the situation and dragged it past the opponent's chest. Immediately afterwards, the blade of the knife was slanted and shouted: "Open!" ”

The spear that had already stabbed him in the chest was crooked and stabbed diagonally into the air. The second horse staggered, Chen Hangyan twisted his body, his arm swept back, and the broken blade caught the wind and swept the back of the opponent's neck.

The head of the Yuan General flew into the air, and his body wearing the uniform of Xia Qianhu was still taken out by the war horse for more than a dozen steps before he shook and fell to the ground. His hands and feet twitched, squirming back and forth in pools of blood.

Chen Hangyan didn't look back, picked up the snowy steel knife, and rushed towards the densest place of the enemy army. The war horse purchased from Da Shi at a high price was as fast as the wind, and with Chen Hangyan's ruthless killing moves, he blew down the new attached sergeant like a weed. The Northern Yuan soldiers did not dare to pair him alone, and when they saw his battle flag, they immediately avoided it to both sides.

The cavalry of the Broken Army infiltrated through the gaps that the enemy had avoided, slicing the already broken formation of the Yuan army even more. The infantry that followed behind lined up to kill, shields, long knives, and crossbow arrows coordinated with each other, pushing the enemy to retreat.

In a moment, the first line of defense arranged by Zhang Hongzheng was broken through by the Breaker Army. After many years of fighting, Zhang Hong, who was accustomed to seeing the life and death of soldiers, gave up the first base soldier Ren Chen Hangyan slaughter, and transferred a large number of archers to the second base.

Chen Hangyan stabilized his position and immediately launched an offensive towards the second line of defense.

Most of his cavalry were born in the green forest. He has always been fearless of death in battle, especially when fighting a tailwind battle, the blood all over his body seems to be ignited by the shouting of killing, turning a blind eye to the casualties that happen around him, and only holding a knife and rushing forward.

At an effective strike distance of one hundred and fifty paces, the new annexed soldiers had only time to fire two volleys. The cavalry had already rushed to the front of second base.

"Raise your gun, form a gun formation!" Zhang Jue ordered loudly, the flag bearer raised the dark red flag, and the drummer saw the flag and beat the war drums with all his might.

In all directions, the drums thundered.

The archer retracted her horned bow and retreated like a tide. The three thousand spearmen behind the line were exposed. The spearmen were half-crouched on the ground, holding the long white wax rod in both hands, and the thick end of the ground was supported by the thin end of the iron spearhead, pointing diagonally forward.

The cavalry was unable to regain momentum and crashed into it heavily.

"Bang!" The earth shook with a bang. The first few cavalry of the Broken Army, with their men and horses, were stabbed into honeycombs, and the blood spurted up like a spring, spurting high against the rising sun.

The second wave of cavalry, however, refused to pull the reins and turn their horses' heads sideways, and ran sideways in front of the spears, gambling that the enemy's bows and arrows would not penetrate their own chain mail, but clamped their horses in the abdomen and crashed into them with the blood of their companions.

The white wax rod broke, and the war horse smashed down like a mountain of cavalry on horseback, and smashed into the body of the spearman. The two of them rolled out a dozen steps on the ground, and when they stopped rolling under the action of friction, they had already broken into a pile of flesh and blood, and it was difficult to distinguish each other.

Another cavalry crashed in along the gap, slashed their horses, knocked down three or four new pikemen, and then fell off their horses and died with their opponents.

The third wave of cavalry was killed in an instant, and the horses' hooves rushed in through the gap opened by their comrades.

Where have the spearmen of the new annex army, who is only equipped with a layer of paper armor, have seen this kind of desperate fighting, and they are cold, and several soldiers shouted, without waiting for the opponent's war horse to rush in front of them, they took the initiative to put down their spears, turned around and ran away.

The cavalry of the Broken Army, which had successfully broken into battle, deflected their horses' heads and charged the pikemen of the new annex army diagonally. As soon as the gap was opened, the hedgehog-like array of guns immediately lost its effect. Rows of white wax rods fell to the ground, along with the arms and fingers of the new annexed soldiers.

Chen Hangyan carried a knife and rushed into the archers of the new annexed army. Just now, at the moment when the war horse collided with the enemy's formation, he jumped high with his superior riding skills. He relied on armor specially equipped for officers to save his life, but his mount was killed in front of both armies. The feeling of humiliation made him crazy, and he attacked even more ruthlessly, and anyone who stood in front of him, whether he turned around and fled or stood up to fight, was chopped into two pieces by him. His own soldiers chased after him desperately, catching attacks from the flanks and from behind.

"Whoever stands in my way, die! Die, die! Chen shouted like a madman, and there was no one under him. His figure was already far more powerful than ordinary people, and at this moment, his armor and face protection were stained with blood, and he looked more like the reincarnation of a killing god. The archers, who had only horned bows and short knives in their hands, were scattered by him, holding their heads, and scurrying around like foolish roe deer hunted without a goal.

With this escape, the formation of the new annexed army was even more chaotic, and even the long knife men who were ordered to step forward to meet the enemy were disrupted by their own people. The soldiers of Chen, who had been cheapened, quickly stabilized their positions, attacked in groups under the leadership of junior officers, and firmly locked the victory in their own hands.

Two pillars of incense, Zhang Hongzheng's second base was broken again. Annoyed and angry, he personally rushed up with the guards and broke off, only to barely block Chen Hangyan, and did not let his own team completely collapse.

Chen Hangyan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately reorganized his troops and horses and stormed the third base of the Yuan army. Lu Shikui, who was in charge of the third line of defense, learned from the experience and lessons of the first two lines of defense, doubled the thickness of the front of the third line of defense, and more pikemen and archers were transferred by him. And between the queues of pikemen and archers, four rows of Pak swordsmen were stuffed as buffers. Who would have expected that Chen Hangyan would suffer a loss and learn once, and the third charge would not take the cavalry as the protagonist, but with the shield bearer as the front team and the archers as the core, and slowly pressed up.

After the shieldman blocked the new annex's not very accurate and powerful shot, the crossbowmen of the Breaker Army immediately burst into force, and rows of crossbow arrows swept over like a wind. Shoot down pikemen who don't have a large area of armor in batches.

Lu Shikui realized that the situation was not good, and quickly sent a signal to the spearmen to retreat. But behind the pikeman, the Pak knife hand, who was accustomed to meeting the enemy in a dense formation, had never practiced this kind of interspersed cooperation, and as soon as the pikeman retreated, the formation of the Pak swordsman immediately became chaotic. Seeing this, Chen Hangyan on the opposite side waved the flag and ordered the shield hand to make way of the gap. Hundreds of war horses that had been waiting for a long time rushed out of the rear formation, braved the rain of arrows, and stepped into the new annexed army.

Chen Hangyan did not charge with the team this time, but stood in the middle of the army, responsible for coordinating and commanding the overall situation. But the military general who served as the tip of the cavalry's spear was even more fierce than Chen Hangyan, riding on a fat Mongolian horse, and what he was holding in his hand was actually an iron shovel more than four feet long and not very sharp. Few people can move this kind of weapon weighing more than forty catties, but it was danced like a windmill by that big man. Once the new sergeant is smashed by it, even the human weapon will fly upside down.

The shouts of killing shook the sky, and the drums of war were like thunder.

Lu Shikui stood under the handsome flag, and the armor on his body was soaked in cold sweat unconsciously. He suddenly had some doubts about whether he had done something wrong, and he should not have been ordered by Zhang Hongfan to put Chen Hangyan and his subordinates in.

The combat effectiveness of the Broken Army in front of him and the Song Army in memory cannot be compared at all. Both the morale, and the abilities of the junior officers, far surpassed any army he knew. The new annexed army under his command was inferior to the Han army, and even the Tanma Red Army and the Yuan Army could not be compared.

Judging from today's and past several battles, Chen Hangyan is still not out of the category of fierce generals, brave and brave, but not very flexible in using soldiers, and still likes to take the lead like a horse thief when fighting. Doing this, although it can boost morale to the greatest extent, the negative consequences are also obvious, as soon as the battle situation begins, the soldiers' scheduling, the formation changes, and the commander can not interfere immediately.

But the junior officers of the Broken Army were much stronger than the Colonels of any army. Those colonels who may be the head of the brand (ten) and centurion can actually adjust the formation and advance speed of the soldiers while fighting, and even after the main general falls off his horse, or the nearby centurion dies in battle, he can quickly gather the nearby soldiers around him. And those soldiers, like veterans who have fought all their lives, know how to protect themselves when they encounter unexpected situations, and how to get closer to the highest-ranking generals in the vicinity.

Commanding such an army, even if Chen Hangyan is a madman, he will not easily lose the battle. Moreover, when Chen Hangyan was charging in front of the array, there was obviously someone in the Broken Army who replaced him and coordinated the overall situation.

If Chen Hangyan is still east of the Zhangjiang River at this moment, Lu Shikui can guarantee that he and Zhang Hongzheng can rely on the terrain to block Chen Hangyan for another 20 days.

But on Zhang Hongfan's order, he and Zhang Hongzheng put Chen Hangyan in, and they also wanted to create the illusion that they were invincible, and they fought and left, leading Chen Hangyan to the vicinity of Yong'an and into the encirclement arranged by Zhang Hongfan and Dachun. In this way, the task is too difficult.

First of all, without the protection of the river, Lu Shikui and Zhang Hongzheng's troops could not stop the captivity army at all. The feint defeat has been beaten into a real defeat, and it is about to move closer to the rout.

Secondly, with the combat effectiveness of the broken army in front of him, even if he entered the encirclement, Lu Shikui was not sure that he could block the exit of the encirclement. As long as Chen Hangyan finds out that he has been deceived, or no longer cares about the lives of Wen Tianxiang and others, he can completely lead the men and horses to break out of the encirclement and kill wherever he wants.

Moreover, this is still under the condition that Chen Hangyan is eager to save people and does not bring artillery with him.

What would happen if Mrs. Xu, who confronted Li Heng in the Chaozhou area, abandoned the city and rushed desperately with artillery? Lu Shikui's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt that his future was bleak.

"Kill, kill, slash those who retreat, slash those who retreat!" Zhang Hongzheng's hoarse shout came from not far away, drawing Lu Shikui's sight. Looking at it closely, the third line of defense was about to be unsecured again, and Zhang Hongzheng, who had just recovered his breath, took his own soldiers to plug the gap. However, the newly attached sergeants who retreated were unwilling to turn around and fight again, no matter how Zhang Hongzheng shouted, and even hacked a few defeated soldiers one after another, he couldn't stabilize the defeat.

"Come on, beat the drums, bring my gun over!" Lu Shikui gritted his teeth and shouted viciously.

"Yes!" His own soldiers froze for a moment, it had been several days since he had seen the boss go into battle in person, and the shock on everyone's faces was hard to hide.

"What, bring a gun. If defeated, will the Breakers let everyone go? You have killed so many people and burned so many villages! Lu Shikui shouted, and jumped on the war horse.

Several pro-soldiers woke up like a dream and hurriedly carried over Lu Dashuai's iron spear.

Lu Shikui held the gun in his hand, shook it, pointed the tip of the gun in the direction of the Broken Army, and shouted, "Brothers, follow me." They are all Fujianese, and they don't share the sky with everyone! ”

With that, he took the lead and rushed towards the general of the Broken Army who was holding an iron shovel.

This sentence is more ruthless than Zhang Hongzheng's hundreds of words to supervise the war. Lu Shikui's personal soldiers were close to protect the safety of the marshal, and at the same time spread the words in their throats, "Brothers, kill, Chen Hangyan has come back to take revenge." Revenge for the Fujian people is coming! ”

The Yuan soldiers, who were pushing each other and retreating, heard the shout, and suddenly turned around and followed Lu Shikui to kill him.

The fighters on both sides fought together again.

A captured sergeant knocked the weapon of the new annex that had been placed against him into the air, and stepped forward to capture the prisoner. The unarmed sergeant refused to surrender, bent down to pick up a broken arrow, and pounced on him screaming.

The Breaker soldier leaned sideways, swinging his sword. The new sergeant fell to the ground, and before he died, he threw a half-cut arrow and smashed it on the breastplate of the Broken Soldier.

The broken arrow struck the plate armor, sending a string of sparks. The broken sergeant was stunned, and he didn't know when the new attached sergeant, who had always been weak, began to become so brave.

The battle began to stalemate, and Lu Shikui and Zhang Hongzheng were leading their own soldiers to plug the gap everywhere. While blocking, the rumors that the captive army will kill the captives to take revenge spread.

The Yuan army, which had already shown signs of defeat, suddenly received strong reinforcements, and its morale gradually recovered. The new annexed army, the Han army, the Tanma Red army, and a small number of Mongolian warriors cooperated with each other, forcing the soldiers of the Broken Army to retreat again and again.

"Chen Shuang can't do it, I still have to go!" Chen Hangyan, who was coordinating the overall situation in the back, said to himself, threw the command flag and arrow into the arms of a short military general beside him, and reached out to pull the reins of the horse.

"General Chen, no! The prime minister has an order that officers above the battalion level are not allowed to engage the enemy in person! The short general hurriedly stopped and shouted loudly.

"Come on, your brother Zeng Huan has never stopped me. If the prime minister had this order, wouldn't he have said it earlier! Chen Hangyan turned over his horse and said as he rushed forward: "Brother Zeng, the command belongs to you." Anyway, you are the commander of the staff, and you can fight as much as you want! ”

After that, he knocked his legs on the horse's belly, and flew forward with the soldiers of the Guards Battalion.

"You!" The staff commander, known as the Zeng Brothers, blushed, gritted his teeth, and raised the command flag high.

"Boom!" The war drums on the side of the Broken Army rang out like thunder, and several reserve units heard the drums and killed them at the same time.

The situation took another turn in an instant, and the Yuan army fought for half a day, and the people were sleepy and tired. The morale that had just been stimulated by the fear of the other party's revenge quickly fell again. No matter how much Ren Lu Shikui and Zhang Hongzheng were encouraged, they couldn't be inspired.

Chen Hangyan opened a bloody path in the crowd and went straight to Lu Shikui.

Among the generals of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Lu Shikui, who was in charge of exterminating the rebel armies in various places, was very brave, and an iron spear once killed many heroes in the rivers and lakes. Today, in order to save the endgame, he resorted to all his methods. An iron spear makes it like an oolong, elusive. In a moment, two or three cavalry of the Broken Army had already been knocked off their horses, and the soldiers who followed him were also pretending to be mighty, constantly beating and scolding, and invited the cavalry of the Broken Army to fight nearby.

Lu Shikui became more and more shocked the more he fought. If you don't meet the enemy in person, you don't know that there is such a big difference between the equipment of the broken army and the equipment of your own soldiers. Lu Shikui stabbed a small colonel of the Broken Army off his horse with an iron spear with his own hands, and just when the soldiers around him were about to cut off the head of the small colonel, the little colonel who had been shot in the left chest rose from the ground and retreated into the crowd under the protection of the two soldiers.

Monkey armor, only the best iron monkey armor produced in the Western Regions has this protective effect. But Lu Shikui knew that the other party was not wearing it. Although the monkey armor was strong, it was too heavy to wear and even the arms were inconvenient to extend, so it was not at all suitable for light cavalry. However, the armor worn by the cavalry of the Broken Army is like a combination of the legendary chain mail of the Western Regions and the Ming Guang armor of the Tang Dynasty. In particular, the pieces of belly and chest protection should be the best iron (steel) from the gloss. But iron has always been expensive, and even the Mongols are only willing to use one on the blade to build weapons, and few people are willing to spend such a large price to wear it on their bodies?

Even if it is ordinary iron armor, in the Northern Yuan army, in addition to the Mongolian army, whether it is the Han army or Tanmachi, it is only worn by the personal guards of the main general and generals above the centurion, and ordinary soldiers only have leather armor to protect themselves. As for the new annexed army, it is already good to have paper armor to block the arrows, and many people do not even have the most basic protection.

With such a difference in equipment, it is no wonder that the morale of the soldiers under his command cannot be raised. Put yourself in the soldiers' shoes and think about it, when they see that the blow they are determined to get has only caused a small injury to their opponents. And when the opponent slashed down, but cut his partner in half with a weapon, how big the impact was in his heart.

Where did Wen Tianxiang conjure up the iron, even if he had iron, where did he get the time to make so many irons piece by piece?

In addition to armor, there are also war horses. In Lu Shikui's memory, there is no place in Fujian that can produce horses, not only Fujian, but also the entire Great Song Dynasty since the Trembling Abyss Alliance, there has been no good horse to ride. The Mongols, Western Xia, and the Tibetan tribes agreed not to sell good horses to the Song people, and even through the tea and horse trade, they only provided inferior horses for pulling carts.

But where did Chen Hangyan get so many war horses? Can you assemble a cavalry of no less than two thousand, and all the mounts are good horses of three or four years old?

Suddenly, Lu Shikui felt a chill in his heart, and when he stabbed the iron spear in his hand, he instinctively fell on the horse's neck.

A wisp of wind swept his back, overthrowing one of his guards under his horse. Lu Shikui raised his head and saw that he was more than fifty steps away, Chen Hangyan bent his bow and arrows, and looked at himself coldly......

In an instant, his face was covered in cold sweat. Lu Shikui grabbed the stirrup and flew out. The yellow huss under the crotch neighed, and a person jumped up, and the second arrow shot by Chen Hangyan hit his neck and went straight to the feather.
