Chapter 120, The Crisis of the White Rise 9

Bai Qi watched from a distance and couldn't stop sneering, he knew that an army could best reflect combat effectiveness and discipline on the march, and the most powerful army must be the most silent army, and no one in the team spoke, because the commander's orders were most thoroughly implemented.

At present, this officer army is lax in discipline and elated, which shows that it is not only an arrogant soldier, but also a straggler who does not pay attention to discipline. Defeat them, it's not a problem.

Bai Qi had confidence.

Fang Hu also thinks it's not a problem, it's just that the protagonists have swapped places.

Seeing that the front came to the edge of Weishui, two stone bridges were quietly lying there, the bridge was about thirty steps long, five or six steps wide, the river was flowing quietly, and the mountains and forests in the distance were also peaceful, without the slightest intention of killing.

The 200 cavalry had already begun to go up the bridge, and the hooves stepped on the bluestone, and the sound was crisp and pleasant.

Bai Qi waited, and when the two hundred cavalry crossed the bridge, and about a thousand infantry behind crossed the Wei River, and Fang Hu was walking on the stone bridge, he asked for a bow from the hungry people behind him, and took a sharp glance, and shot the arrow.

With a sharp cracking sound, sharp arrows flew out, hitting one of the cavalrymen's face.

The man heard the sound, and as soon as he raised his head, he was shot by an arrow in the center of his eyebrow, and came out of his head, and the dead body fell under the horse.

This sound of the arrow is the signal of attack.

The sound fell, and the ambushes on both sides of the river bank were launched together.

The army formation on the west bank of the river was the first to rush out, with spearmen in front, shield bearers on the side, and short knife hands in the back, forming a very tight formation, pressing forward, and archers on both sides of the battle formation, constantly shooting arrows at the two wings of the officers and soldiers, trying to compress them together.

And on the east bank of the river, the ambush people also rushed out, and the three breads copied over, and the officers and soldiers were left on the east bank of the river with less than a thousand people, and they were all walking towards the bridgehead, already crowded together, and at this time they were outflanked behind them, and in a hurry, they were about to turn around to meet the enemy, and the hungry people had pressed on them, trapping them firmly on the bridgehead.

Although the officers and troops on the west bank of the river had cavalry, as soon as those cavalry charged, they were blocked by the spear array, and many people were stabbed off their horses.

Fang Hu was squeezed on the bridge at this time, his war horse was full of people in front and behind, and he couldn't move half a step, and as the hungry people rushed up from the front and back, the Ming army began to retreat to the middle, the more people were crowded, he knew that it was not good, the current terrain was too unfavorable, and he had to break through the enemy's position in order to give full play to the advantages of cavalry and soldiers.

He also saw clearly that the number of thieves was not as large as his, so he raised his sword and ordered the soldiers to rush forward, trying to make a gap.

Bai Qi had already expected this move, and he ordered the military formation to remain tightly organized, and those who dared to retreat would be cut off by the rear team. Lei Sheng's overseer team was holding a big sword in the back, and since the hungry people had already formed a military formation, it was very inconvenient to retreat, so they had to move forward.

The sound of killing on the battlefield shook the sky, and blood flowed everywhere. The light and shadow of the knives and guns reflected the blood light, and the eyes of each individual were full of beast-like fierce light, like thousands of tigers and wolves biting together, and the scene was absolutely undaring to look at directly.

Fang Hu's cavalry rushed twice, did not rush out, but was killed and injured a lot, Fang Hu was also anxious, he whipped suddenly, the war horse roared, jumped over the head of the soldier, stepped down several officers and soldiers, Fang Hu knocked away the people in front, and finally came to the front of the battle formation, he is also a fierce general, when he is really anxious, he also dares to go into battle shirtless, at this time he is already red-eyed, and he can no longer break away from the opponent's formation, his two thousand men and horses, were surrounded to death, like a group of sheep to be slaughtered.

He took off his armor and shouted: "Cavalry, follow me ......"

The remaining more than a hundred cavalry shouted in unison and rushed up again. The white spearmen had already gained some experience, and when they saw the cavalry coming again, they raised their spears and stabbed them straight at the horse's head.

Those horses had also gone through this kind of thing a few times, and they hurriedly stopped, and Fang Hu jumped off the horse one by one, shouting: "Cut the horse's butt with a knife, ...... quickly"

The subordinates didn't know why, and they didn't dare to disobey the order, and together with Fang Hu, the knife in his hand slashed wildly on the butt of his war horse.

The horses were in pain, neighing, and rushed forward in desperation.

This situation is very similar to the fire bull array used by Tian Dan, the famous general of Qi during the Warring States Period, of course, it should be called the Crazy Horse Array at this time. These wounded horses were like crazy, freeing their hooves, ignoring the spears in front of them, and desperately rushed into the formation of the White Rising Army.

Many horses were stabbed to the ground and kicked with their hooves, but some of the horses still rushed into the army formation and disrupted the army's formation. And the hungry people were also trampled on a lot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Hu commanded his men to pounce into the military formation, taking advantage of the gap opened by the war horses to fight with the hungry people.

When Bai Qi saw this, he hurriedly ordered to blow the horn and change the formation.

Before the spearmen could hear the horn, they had already thrown down their spears, drew their short knives from their waists, and fought with the officers and soldiers, because there was a warlord behind them, and these people did not dare to retreat, so they could only grit their teeth and stiffen up, and cut their opponents to death first.

Thousands of people are scuffled together, and everyone knows that this is the moment to play with life, and whoever is not afraid of death will not die.

But after fighting for a while, Bai Qi saw that his men and horses were gradually unable to contain the officers and soldiers.

When it comes to combat effectiveness, no matter how bad the officers and soldiers are, they are better than these hungry people, most of the hungry people are used to hoes, how can they use knives and guns? Just two or three days of training didn't work at all. Now they are only fighting against the official army with a bloody breath, and once the official army breaks through the encirclement, as long as a few rushes back and forth, these hungry people will collapse.

Bai Qi must not let this kind of thing happen, these horses are the foundation of his foothold in the troubled times, and they are also his only hope.

So Bai Qi walked up the dirt slope, still holding a bow and arrows in his hand, and he calmly looked at the chaos in the array, and a pair of eyes like goshawks in the sky, looking for a hare among the grass.

Finally, he found Fang Hu.

Fang Hu had already stripped off his shirt, so it was not difficult to spot. At this time, he was wielding a big knife, fighting with the hungry people in front of him, and four hungry people had already died under his knife, so Fang Hu became more and more brave the more he killed, his eyes became redder and redder, and his body was splashed with blood.

He really looked like a mad tiger, but in his white eyes, he was nothing more than a hare.

Bai raised his bow and set up an arrow, aimed at Fang Hu's head, and shot an arrow at the bowstring.

At this time, the array has become a pot of porridge, shouts, screams, and the sound of weapons hitting each other are endless, and the sound is blocked, where can Fang Hu hear the sound of the bowstring, he is killing sexually, only to feel a strong wind blowing in his face, as soon as he looks up, before he can see clearly, a strong arrow shoots from the bridge of his nose, straight through the back of his head.

Fang Hu's whole body was shocked, and he crashed out, and died immediately.

The soldiers around him were taken aback, and when they looked up, they saw a person standing on the high slope in the distance, holding a bow and arrow, majestic and majestic, and with the demeanor of a general.

Lei Sheng saw that Fang Hu had fallen, and under great joy, he looked up to the sky and shouted: "The official and army lord will be shot to death, the lord will be shot to death, everyone will kill ......."

The supervising team under his command also shouted, the voice became louder and louder, and more and more people shouted, the officers and soldiers listened to it, and began to panic, some people saw it, Fang Hu was shot down by an arrow, and some people didn't see it, but after not seeing Fang Hu's voice for a long time, they knew that it was not good.

The morale of the officers and soldiers suddenly disappeared, and they began to look around, looking for a way to escape.

Bai Qi saw it clearly, and ordered: "The military formation is reorganized and pressed forward." ”

The hungry people were ordered, some resisted in front, and many more regrouped their formations, raised their spears, and began to move forward step by step.

At this time, the officers and troops were in chaos, and without cavalry, the weapons in their hands could not stop the spear phalanx.

Eventually, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers collapsed, and they began to scatter and flee, the roads between the front and back were blocked, and the officers and soldiers began to jump into the river.

The people on the bridge jumped down one after another, the bridge was empty, and the officers and soldiers in front and behind were forced to the bridge again and continued to jump into the river, so there was a spectacular scene on the Weishui River, like dumplings, countless people jumped down. Those who jump down first are unlucky, and as soon as they come up, they are thrown into the water by those who jump down later, and those who don't know how to swim struggle in the river, and those who know how to swim go down the river and float eastward.

Bai Qi showed no mercy and ordered his men to shoot arrows along the river, throw javelins, and kill as many officers and soldiers as possible.

As a result, countless officers and soldiers were shot in the river, and their corpses floated all over the river.

Those who did not jump into the river, when they saw that the Lord was about to be killed, the brigade collapsed, and they stopped fighting, put down their swords and guns, sat down on the ground, and surrendered.

Bai Qi let out a sigh of relief, he knew that if Fang Hu hadn't been shot to death in this battle, it would be really difficult to win.
