Chapter 609: Breakout

Yu Wenke thought that he would never regret it, when Yu Wenrui attacked Dayan Lake and lost his troops, Gao Yuan suddenly arrived, this battle has actually failed, since the defeat is irreparable, then, maintaining the vitality is the best choice. Tian Zongmin asked him to dispatch cavalry to launch a general attack, there are only two possibilities, one is to defeat the enemy in front of him and retreat the whole army, and the other is to fight with the enemy, no one can help anyone, he was dragged alive on the west bank, and at that time, as soon as Gao Yuan arrived, he would be defeated one by one.

Cover the retreat of the iron cavalry with foot soldiers, leave the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, relative to the foot soldiers, the iron cavalry is the foundation of Donghu. The foot soldiers can be retrained quickly, but an elite cavalryman does not know how many years it takes.

In fact, an hour later, when Yu Wenke's cavalry began to retreat, he regretted it.

On the east bank of the Liao River, the Eastern Army appeared. A full 3,000 cavalry, when his team had just begun to cross the river, and only a few hundred cavalry, the 3,000 cavalry of the eastern expedition suddenly came out, and there was no suspense in the battle, and the cavalry that crossed the river first was wiped out after a round of killing by the opponent, and now, the ferry has been sealed.

Xu Yuan was much ahead of Yu Wenke in this move, and almost as soon as Chen Bin captured the pontoon bridge, Gongsun Yi's 3,000 cavalry began to cross the river. Compared with Yu Wenke, his reaction was faster.

The task of these 3,000 cavalry was to seal the ferry and leave Yu Wenke's main force on the east bank.

Now, when it was Yu Wenke's turn, he had no choice, he had to attack, attack with all his might, and defeat his opponent when Gao Yuan didn't arrive, or break through.

Things came full circle, and they returned to the original point that Tian Zongmin said.

On his left and right. They were Xu Yuan's First Army and Yan Peng's Second Army.

Yu Wenke chose to attack Yan Peng's Second Army. This is Tian Zongmin's construction, when he realized his mistake, Yu Wenke released Tian Zongmin for the first time, at this time it is naturally not the time to care, Tian Zongmin did not hesitate to propose to attack Yan Peng's second army instead of Xu Yuan's first army, even these days, Xu Yuan has been fighting viciously, and his combat strength is exhausted.

Because of Xu Yuan's First Army, the core part is the former Eastern Army. Although Tian Zongmin is from the Qi State, he is a country that has always had plans against the Yan State. For the characters who can stir up the storm in Yan country, they will naturally have a detailed understanding.

Gao Yuan, naturally, is also the focus of their understanding, it can be said that many major events in Yan Country in recent years are related to this Gao Yuan, Xu Yuan is carrying Gao Yuan's descendants, which is naturally a hard bone that is difficult to gnaw, and Tian Zongmin also knows it. These days, the people who are fighting with him are basically the standing army of Yan State that the other party rescued from the cantonment. In other words, although Xu Yuan's casualties are not under him, his core combat power is still there.

And the relationship between the Yan father and son and Gao Yuan is a little strange now, with more cooperation than confrontation. Moreover, Yan Peng's command is dominated by Hejian county soldiers, and in comparison, these county soldiers. Naturally, it can't be compared with the elite soldiers of a hundred battles under Gao Yuan's command.

Whether they can stand out depends on whether they can break through Yan Peng's defense.

Eating persimmons and picking up soft pinching is naturally the best choice for fighting.

Yu Wentui was ordered to lead the department to cooperate with Tian Zongmin. Containing Xu Yuan, Yu Wenke personally led the three thousand iron cavalry who had not yet had time to cross the river to attack Yan Peng, and there were only one thousand iron cavalry left, which he also had to use to seal the pontoon bridge in case the Zhengdong cavalry on the opposite bank suddenly rushed over.

Under the city of Tongwan, Yan Peng's four thousand Hejian soldiers are in strict formation, and now they don't need to defend the city, but to block the opponent's counterattack, when they heard that Yu Wenke's banner was approaching him, Yan Peng laughed, "Sure enough, I am regarded as a soft persimmon, and it is a good time, so let them see if our Hejian County soldiers are as soft as they think!" ”

Now Yan Peng has 7,000 foot soldiers under his command, of which 3,000 are from the Yan State Standing Army that was rescued, compared to these standing troops, Yan Peng trusts the 4,000 Hejian soldiers in his hands more. Three thousand standing troops were placed on his flanks.

Yu Wenming rushed to the front of the team, and at the moment of life and death, Yu Wenke was already fighting with all his might.

"Bed crossbow, put!" In the formation of the Hejian County soldiers, a roar sounded, and a captain dropped the saber in his hand heavily, and the terrible howl immediately resounded on the battlefield.

"Arm crossbow, ready, put!" Another voice sounded as the bed crossbow swept past the charging cavalry.

The damage caused by the bed crossbow is not large, both sides of the Liao River are a horse and a flat river, this kind of terrain is indeed a more suitable battlefield for cavalry, the formation is very spread, and the lethality of the bed crossbow is very limited.

It was the covering shot of the crossbow that caused a certain effect.

Rushing to within a hundred paces, more than 100 Donghu people fell off their horses.

At this time, the bed crossbow had just twisted the second string, and the arm tension crossbow had already shot a round.

"Shoot!" Yu Wenming bent his bow and arrows, swishing three beads in succession, and behind him, there was also a rain of arrows, falling towards the lineup of Hejian soldiers who were already less than a hundred paces.

The second round of bed crossbows was fired, and some blood grooves were plowed out from the lineup of the Donghu people's impact, but the Donghu people's counterattack also came at the right time, and dozens of Hejian soldiers turned over and fell.

"Bed crossbowmen, spear wielding, step up!" The lieutenant shouted angrily. The soldier, who had no time to shoot the bed crossbow again, picked up the spear that had been placed on the ground and began to stride forward.

"Arm open crossbow, elevation angle forty-five, partition!"

In the captain's roar, the first wave of impact finally arrived, without any fancy scenes, the cavalry and horses with men and horses, and bombarded the spear array of the forest, and the first wave of attacking war horses were all covered with blindfolds, and the galloping of the war horses was all controlled by the knights, in order to worry that the war horses could not rush up and hit at the last moment because they were afraid of the spears on the opposite side.

The knights were clearly prepared, and the moment the horses had just collided with them, they had already jumped up, and their hands were full of heavy blades, spears, broadswords, iron rods, and hammers, and they were not afraid to die against the spears that pierced in the air.

The spears were like a forest, the blood was like a fountain, and most of the Donghu cavalry who flew up were stabbed in mid-air, but the long weapons in their hands had also fallen. Everywhere they fell, there was chaos.

Yu Wenming was lucky, also because the armor on his body was excellent, and his own kung fu was also a lot higher than other Donghu soldiers, he was lucky not to be poked to death, but only opened a few small holes in his body.

As soon as he landed on the ground, without the slightest pause, he threw away the broadsword in his hand and drew the scimitar at his waist, in such a dense queue, the short blade was obviously much more effective.

He roared and swung his scimitar and charged forward, met by a group of sword and shield soldiers.

The first four rows of lineups, in an instant, were chaotic.

Yan Peng finally changed color.

He has not fought a war of this intensity and this scale, unlike Xu Yuan, who has been fighting with the Donghu people for several years, and is quite familiar with the road of the Donghu people, and can deal with it calmly, Yan Peng has fought a big battle in the first half of his life, which may be the battle with Gao Yuan in Baokang and Yingkou, and he was captured alive, and now the Donghu people are fighting to the death, which makes him a little shocked and distracted, and it is this shock and loss of sight that he missed the best opportunity to change the formation.

When Tian Zongmin dealt with Chen Bin's onslaught, he immediately gave up the first few rows of soldiers, and effectively reorganized a new round of defense, if it weren't for the large gap between his soldiers and Chen Bin's soldiers, Chen Bin would not have been able to break through the opponent's defense. And Yan Peng, although he has a family background, he is indeed a good general, but in the first match, he faced such a dangerous scene, but his adaptability was insufficient. The slightest hesitation made the Donghu people insert too deeply, and at this time he wanted to reorganize the second line of defense, but it was too late.

In an instant, the defense line of the Hejian soldiers led by Yan Peng was in danger, and resisting this cavalry group charge and blocking the first wave of offensive was the most crucial point, because the first wave was full of dead soldiers, and when they rushed over with unstoppable speed and the consciousness of death, it was indeed difficult to resist. And at this time, it is the most test of the commander's adaptability.

At this point, Yan Peng really can't compare with Xu Yuan, Chen Bin and others who have been on the battlefield for a long time.

Yu Wenke didn't expect it to be so smooth, he was overjoyed, and immediately changed the formation, and the cavalry all over the mountains and fields were transformed into a sharp arrow formation in an instant in the sound of the terrible horn, and inserted it into the gap dug out by Yu Wenming.

"Not good!" In the flank position in the distance, Yan Yao was shocked, "Commander Yan's formation is about to be chiseled." The whole army is ready to attack! "Yan Yao is Yan Peng's uncle, and he was placed in this army as a division commander, but the deputy division commander is a general of the former Yan State Standing Army, Luo Weiran.

"Behind the army commander's formation, reorganize the defensive line!" Yan Yao shouted loudly.

"No, it's too late!" Compared with Yan Yao, Luo Weiran's eyes were obviously more vicious, "The army commander, we can't stop it, we don't have time to reorganize the front, at this time, it will also be collapsed by the opponent, division commander, cut off their tails, it's difficult to clean up as much as you want." This Donghu army could not be stopped, but their follow-up troops could not be let through. ”

"Fart, we have to annihilate all the Donghu troops, if we let go of their main general, the governor will blame them, who will bear it?" Yan Yao shouted.

Luo was stunned for a moment, but immediately straightened up again, "Division commander, in this way, we will definitely lose miserably and intercept their tails." is the only option right now. ”

"Do you dare to disobey the order, believe it or not, I'll kill you right now?" Yan Yao shouted angrily.

Luo Weiran took a deep breath and glanced at the battlefield, that is, with these few words, more Donghu soldiers had already entered the array of Hejian soldiers, and the formation had been dispersed.

"Offended, Commander!" Luo Weiran gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Pass on my military order, and the whole division will change into a triangular formation and press towards the rear of the enemy." ”

"You dare!" Yan Yao was furious, his hand had just touched the waist knife, and his back had been topped by several spears, these three thousand were all composed of the standing army of Yan State, Yan Yao's side, there were only a dozen pro-soldiers, but at this moment, they were all restrained.
