Chapter 480: Defeat of Du Fuwei
、、、、、、、、、、
At this time, Li Shimin squinted his eyes and looked carefully, but he suddenly realized. He hurriedly reminded Li Yuan: "Dad, have you noticed?" The shields held by these Jianghuai soldiers are all round shields. In this way, there is a large gap between the shields and the shields, which cannot be connected seamlessly like a square shield. ”
"Got it! Those javelins must have been drilled through the gaps between the shields! Li Yuan is also an old treacherous person, and he immediately understood.
However, he was also secretly frightened, because the gap between the round shields was only the size of a fist. However, many of these javelins passed through the gap, which shows that the throwing of these Zhou cavalry is high.
"Shimin, it seems that the ironclad elite cavalry of this Zhou army is really good! If we change our Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers to fight with it, what are the odds of victory? At this moment, Li Yuan had no doubt that Yu Ming would be able to defeat Du Fuwei and enter the final decisive battle. What he is worried about now is whether the Tang army can defeat the Zhou army.
"This ...... It's hard to say! Li Shimin thought for a moment, but still said truthfully: "Judging from the combat effectiveness alone, they are on par with the Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers. But if Yuming only has the means to show, then I think he can still beat them! ”
"That's good!" After Li Yuan heard this, he was also relieved. He really didn't believe that Yu Ming had any other powerful tricks. Javelins, beaded crossbows, Damascus black steel knives have all been demonstrated. Does Zhou Jun still have hole cards?
At this moment, the cavalry of the Zhou army had already launched the first round of javelin attacks. This time, the Jianghuai army had already had the experience of resisting the first two times, so that most of the Zhou army's javelins were blocked, but more than 50 people were still shot and killed. Plus those who were killed by javelins on the first two times. At present, more than half of the Jianghuai army has suffered casualties, but only two of the Zhou army fell from their horses and were slightly injured.
Du Fuwei's face sank like water, he never expected that Zhou Jun would have such a sharp weapon.
"You don't have to stay where you are. If this continues, there will be two more javelin attacks. I'm afraid that the defensive formation will completely collapse. Rush up and kill the enemy! You must not be beaten passively like this! Duvowe shouted.
Then he personally beat the war drums and cheered for his subordinates.
The Jianghuai Army, which was already demoralized, was also inspired to have courage when they saw the lord beating the drum in person. They roared, raised their spears, raised their round shields, and rushed towards the Zhou cavalry.
Yu Ming smiled slightly: "It's too late to think of taking the initiative to attack now!" Shoot the last two rounds of javelins and you're ready to attack! ”
After Zhang Zhongjian received Yuming's order, he waved the flag again and again, and ordered to throw the javelin again.
The soldiers of the Jianghuai Army who were running were even more unable to resist, and immediately became a live target for the Zhou army to throw javelins. Many people were pierced like hedgehogs, screaming and falling like door panels.
When the Zhou army's two rounds of javelin throwing were finished, there were only two of the original six Jianghuai troops left, and their phalanx had long been out of shape, and the overall formation was chaotic and loose.
Yu Ming was waiting for this moment, if Du Fuwei was really patient enough to keep his hoplites still on standby, then after five rounds of javelin shooting, more than half of them would definitely survive.
At this time, he had no better way but to use the advantage of his strength to fight hard with the enemy. At this time, the only way to do this is to charge with heavy cavalry and use the impact of cavalry to override the opponent.
Although he was confident that with the strength of his cavalry, he could definitely rush through the Jianghuai army, whose morale had plummeted, but in this way, the casualties of the Zhou cavalry would also be very heavy. In the ensuing decisive battle with Li Yuanjun, he will have to fight more with less. In this way, the likelihood of winning the final victory will be greatly reduced. This is also the situation that Yuming is most afraid of.
Fortunately, Du Fuwei finally couldn't hold his breath after being hit by rounds one after another. Moreover, in front of everyone's eyes, the Jianghuai Army has been in a situation of being passively beaten, which also makes him really disgraced. As a result, Du Fuwei finally chose to launch a counterattack, so that although he played with momentum, he made his casualties even greater.
"Rush! The enemy's formation has completely collapsed! Victory is at hand! Kill the enemy with me! As Yu Ming gave the order for a general attack, the commander of the Zhou army in the team also shouted with joy on his face. Then he took the lead and led more than six ironclad cavalry to charge the enemy.
After seeing this scene, although he was shocked, Du Fuwei was still undisturbed.
He gritted his teeth, shouted and ordered the flag to be waved by the flag bearer, and asked the officers in the team to command the soldiers in a team of five to form a formation to meet the battle.
But how can Yu Ming let him calmly form a formation. The ironclad cavalry rushed into the enemy's formation, and when they saw that the enemy army was congregating, they rushed there, not giving them a chance to assemble at all.
When Du Fuwei saw that when the sabers of the enemy's heavy cavalry fell, his own hoplites had little resistance power, and often when the sword fell, the handle of the gun was broken, and when the two knives fell, the head flew down, and the number of enemy troops was more than twice that of his own, and the situation became more and more unfavorable to the Jianghuai army......
The bravery and good fighting of the ironclad cavalry of this Zhou army was far greater than that of the Zhang Xutuo Eight Wind Battalion that he had fought before. This army really deserved to have set foot on Goryeo, conquered Silla and Ji, and shocked the elite divisions of Liaodong and the north. Strike fear into the hearts of the enemy.
The Jianghuai army was in a desperate situation, but everyone was red-eyed, flying up and down with spears in hand, and also overturned many cavalry of the Zhou army. However, they are only trapped and fighting now, and they have no power to return to the sky. Now all the Jianghuai army is thinking about is how to try their best to maintain their dignity before defeat and not let others look down on them!
Blood rained down on the feet of the soldiers on both sides, and under the sunshine, in the Acropolis Square of Luoyang City, a tragic and sad battlefield battle map was reflected!
The cold wind blew, and the bloody meaning was still strong. The princes present were all frightened. In the face of the brutal battle results, they finally knew the horror of the Zhou army's iron cavalry.
They all secretly wondered, if they led their army to encounter such a brave and good iron cavalry, and such a well-armed and well-equipped iron horse, how could they win?
A moment later, the main general of the Jianghuai army was beheaded by a general of the Zhou army, and his soul returned to the earth.
And after the death of the main general, the hoplites of the Jianghuai army lost control. I just feel that there are enemy iron horses everywhere.
They gradually woke up from the frenzy of the battle, and there was some fear.
The timid soldiers began to turn around and retreated...... The Jianghuai army is already on the verge of collapse.
Finally, half an hour later, the last infantry of the Jianghuai Army was also cut off by the cavalry of the Zhou army, so that the massacre was finally over!
"The second battle of the second round. Zhou Jun wins! will enter the final decisive battle and compete with the Tang Army for the ownership of Luoyang City! Wang Shichong immediately announced at this time.
Du Fuwei's face sank like water, he never expected that his most elite hoplites, who had always been a sharp weapon against the Sui cavalry, would be defeated by Yu Ming's ironclad elite cavalry so lightly.
"This Yuming! I swear to him! Duvowe roared like thunder. Then he angrily walked down the high platform and left the square. He didn't want to pay attention to Yu Ming or Li Yuan anymore, who won in the end.
At this moment, Wang Shichong said loudly again: "Please ask Zhou Jun and Tang Jun to rest for half an hour, and then start the final decisive battle!" Previously wounded soldiers can also join the battle after a simple bandage, but neither army can be reinforced, and only soldiers who have participated in the first two rounds of battle can be used for the final battle! ”
After that, he glanced at Li Yuan and Yu Ming again and said, "I don't know if King Tang and King Zhou still have to change commanders?" ”
"No change! Or under the command of the people! Li Yuan replied.
"We will not change, and we will continue to be commanded by this king!" Yu Ming said lightly.
"Good! The two princes should take a break. Half an hour later, the decisive battle officially began! The winner will get Luoyang City! Wang Shichong said in a deep voice.
Li Yuan and Yu Ming both nodded, and then returned to each other's armies and began to give a final explanation.
Li Yuan began to discuss with Li Shimin the types and formations of the final battle. Yu Ming, on the other hand, asked the female medics to come up and heal the wounded Zhou cavalry, while replacing their broken weapons and armor. After all, in the last decisive battle, he faced the Tang army with strong combat effectiveness, and the commander was the most outstanding general in the Tang army, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who was the most powerful enemy of the Zhou army.
The half-hour break passed quickly. Tang Jun and Zhou Jun both walked into the square with the sound of horns. And seeing the lineup of both sides, the princes and surnames present couldn't help but say "huh" in surprise.
Because they found that the more than six people who walked into the square of the Tang Army were all elite cavalry, and all of them were wearing dark armor. Holding an extremely sharp saber, like a pack of wolves waiting to be devoured.
The soldiers of the Zhou army, however, all abandoned their horses, each of them carried a long-handled broadsword more than two zhang long, with a shield hanging from their waists, and then walked into the square. Of course, they all carried a finely crafted longbow on their backs, as well as two pots of quiver. It seems that it was intended to engage in a confrontation with the enemy.
Shumeng couldn't help but panic at this time, she frowned, and said to Red Sleeves in a little panic: "Sister Red Sleeves, why did Yu Gong let his subordinates abandon their horses and use infantry to fight the enemy instead?" I heard that the most elite of the Zhou army was the ironclad cavalry...... The previous battle with the Jianghuai Army also showed that the hoplites could not defeat the ironclad cavalry even in this square. Why did Yugong abandon his strengths and fight the enemy with a short time? ”
Red Sleeves blinked a pair of beautiful big eyes at this time, and after carefully observing Zhou Jun's weapon, Fang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I understand!" Why did the husband change to infantry to fight, it turned out that he wanted to use the Mo knife to win by surprise! ”
"Mo Dao? What kind of weapon is that? After Shumeng and Yin Fei heard this, they were both stunned at the same time, and then hurriedly asked.
