Chapter 32: The True Hero of Long Xiang Tears (8)
Everyone saw that it was An Chong who asked for battle.
Although An Chong's current military position is not high, his martial arts are recognized by the Xin Er army, and this person is not a simple fighting general, but also has brains. Xin Er said in his heart: "I tried the Qin formation twice, first with a feint attack with cavalry, and then with a bow and crossbow to shoot from a distance, but in vain, and then, it should be tried again with close combat." An Chong is martial, clever and clever, and can adapt to changes, he takes the initiative to ask for help and is willing to rush into battle, I might as well let him try. Then he said, "A hundred people are too few, I will give you two hundred armor soldiers, twenty armor horses, if you can impulse the Qin array, remember the merits." β
The merit, second only to the miraculous feat, is already the highest combat merit that the generals can get in normal times.
When An Chong heard this, his spirits were greatly lifted, and he said: "Please wait here for Ming Gong, Chong will go back when he goes!" Looking back at the Qin array in the north of his eyes, he said with confidence, "At most half an hour, Chongbi will be impulsively captured by Ming Gong!" β
These words fell into Xin Er's ears, and somehow, I thought of the story of Guan Yunchang's warm wine and beheading Huaxiong, in terms of size alone, An Chong is similar to Guan Yu, but his Sogdian Hu people, blue eyes and white skin, and bearded face, but they are completely different from Guan Yu. Suppressing this sudden association, Xin Erzhuang's words of peace and admiration, stroked his mustache and smiled: "Then I will wait here to watch Sima fall into battle!" β
After taking the military order of Xin Er's transfer of troops, An Chong selected 200 brave soldiers and 20 armored cavalry, and without much delay, he led them out of the battle.
Xin Er raised his eyes to look at it.
β¦β¦
Qin Formation Army.
Lu Ming, Ji He and others immediately noticed An Chong and other foot riders who came out of the battle.
Ji He looked at it and said to Lu Ming: "General, this must be a young man to attack my formation twice to no avail, so I want to move my formation with a dead soldier." It is advisable for the general to give an order, strictly order the soldiers, and when they rush into battle, those who welcome them are not allowed to retreat, and those who do not welcome them are not allowed to move without permission, and those who violate the order are to be killed. β
"Those who welcome them are not allowed to retreat", it is easy to understand. If the soldiers who meet the battle retreat, then the formation will be confused, which is equivalent to the "formation" moving, so it is not allowed to retreat. "Those who do not welcome them are not allowed to move", which means that the soldiers who did not meet the enemy, that is, the soldiers who did not attack the direction such as An Chong, they were not allowed to leave their respective combat positions without permission,ββ this is in case there are that warlike soldiers, seeing the enemy coming, maybe they can't help it, get out of their own position, and fight in the past, if this happens, it will also mess up the formation.
Lu Ming immediately turned Ji He's suggestion into a military order and conveyed it, which was the same as the military order of the previous road, and also added a sentence to this order: "Even if the enemy's position is not strong, the soldiers elsewhere are not allowed to go to the aid without orders, and they have their own generals to send troops to help." β
An Chong and the others were moving very fast, and not long after the order was passed down, Lu Ming and Ji He saw that they had approached the front of the main formation.
Although Xin Er's previous two temptations seemed to be very "fair" to the Qin army's eastern and western formations, and none of them fell, Lu Ming had already vaguely felt that Xin Er's main attack direction must be his eastern formation, and looking down at the small army of Long soldiers who came out of the Long formation, they didn't care about the Yao Tao formation in the west, and just rushed to his eastern formation, which confirmed Lu Ming's judgment.
Although the direction of Xin Er's main attack had been clarified, just when An Chong and the others were about to arrive, Lu Ming still subconsciously glanced west at the two formations of the enemy and the enemy in the west.
In the Qin Formation and Long Formation in the west, a total of five or six thousand soldiers from the two formations of the enemy and us were quiet, and there was no one in the isolation zone between the two formations.
β¦β¦
The Qin army is in the west.
Fu Zi'an, who shot and killed Peng Linian, a fierce general under Tian Ju's tent, complimented Yao Tao with admiration, and said: "Ming Gong is like a god, Xin You's two attempts have been fruitless, and he has no choice but to choose warriors to force General Lu's formation and fight with General Lu's formation in close combat, in order to try to move his position again." He looked at the western formation of the Longbing soldiers on the opposite side and said, "I don't know if the Ko Ming Sect will also send troops to rush my formation?" β
Through the number on the banner, Yao Tao, Fu Zi'an, Zhu Fatong and others already knew that it was the koji ball department that was arrayed opposite them.
After receiving Fu Zi'an's flattery, Yao Tao was a little complacent, and said firmly: "Today, the Longbing soldiers are fighting in the field with our army, and the Xin Department is the main force. The surrender led by the Ko Ming Sect is nothing more than a strong momentum for Xin You, and it is expected that he will not send troops easily. β
Fu Zi'an thought for a while and said, "What Ming Gong said is very true! If he dares to send him to attack our formation, he will inevitably be beaten by us, which will affect the Xin array and cause the soldiers of the Xin array to be demoralized. In this way, even if he has the heart to send troops, he really does not dare to send troops. The admiration for Yao Tao in his tone became more and more full.
Yao Tao is not very old, not much older than Zhao Xing, only in his early twenties, although he is wise, but in the end in the unique "vigor" of young people, or in other words, "good performance" is not exempt from vulgarity, he touched the black and soft beard under his chin, while comfortably enjoying the admiration of the older generals, while looking at the Lu array in the east that was about to fight with the Long soldiers, and occasionally looked at the koji array opposite his eyes to see if there was anything unusual.
There is no difference in the formation of the koji ball club.
β¦β¦
Koji in the formation.
Koji Qiu looked at An Chong and the other foot riders who came out of the eastern formation and attacked the Lu formation, with a serious face, and ordered Bing Bo, Qu Nanhu, Qu Nan Jianri and other generals who were waiting on his side, and said: "You are ready for a sudden battle. β
Bing Bo asked: "The general has not yet sent an order to call me into battle, Lang Jun, why are you preparing now?" β
Koji Qiu pointed at An Chong and the others, and said: "The conquest has already tried the Qin formation twice, but it was all fruitless, especially the Lu formation, which was as stable as Mount Tai in these two attempts, and there was no chaos in the slightest - the soldiers of its formation were indeed captured by Qin Zhirui!" If you can't impulse Lu Zhen's position this time, then there is no other way to do it, so there is only one way to attack. Although the direction of the main attack is in the Lu Formation, Yao Taobu's combat strength is not bad, and we have to firmly contain them so that they cannot support the Lu Formation. Therefore, I tell you to prepare now. β
Bing Bo and others are all fighting generals, rushing to kill the enemy, one by one are good players, but in the prediction and grasp of the whole battle trend, it is far inferior to the koji ball, after listening to the analysis of the koji ball, everyone suddenly woke up, loudly promised, and returned to the headquarters to prepare for the battle.
The generals dispersed, and the koji ball became independent.
He gently rubbed the hilt of his sword, continued to look at An Chong and the others for a moment, and then looked at the Xin'er General Banner raised high in the eastern formation, the red flag was waving in the wind, and it was very conspicuous in the sun.
Koji Qiu thought in his heart: "The gains and losses of Longxi are not only related to the great plan of the young book and me to recover the Central Plains in the future, to recover this county, Guanzhong and the Central Plains can be mapped, but also to the survival of my Dingxi. The civil strife in Wei, Pu Mao and Meng Lang have taken advantage of the gap to attack, Pu Mao can be called the British lord of the Hu people, Meng Lang was compared to the Qin people as the pipe of today, they personally led the troops, even if they can't defeat Murong and He Hun in a row, take the Wei land, let alone open up the territory and expand the territory, waiting for their battle tentatively, Pu Mao and Meng Lang will free up their hands, with the people of Guanzhong and the Central Plains, and fight their Hu and Tang 100,000 soldiers, and then attack me, I will die in the west!
"In today's battle, there is only victory, no defeat!"
β¦β¦
An Chong rode his horse with the twenty armor soldiers, and the two hundred foot soldiers followed behind, approaching the east side of the Lu array.
Entering the range of arrows, Lu array of arrows rained down.
However, relying on the thick armor, An Chong and the others did not deliberately avoid the arrow, but only accelerated the speed of progress.
Like a whirlwind, and like a raging fire, these more than 200 steps rushed to a distance of less than 100 steps from Lu Zhen.
An Chong whipped his horse, facing the shield of the Qin array and the spear that stood out from the shield, and charged ahead with the twenty armor horses.
This twenty armor horses, people are strong men, horses are good horses, people, horses are all iron armor, far away is already majestic, near more shocking, just like a piece of iron float, between running, the ground is shaken, the armor is bright, reflecting the sun, Yao people's eyes. However, the soldiers in the front row of the Qin array seemed to have not seen it, and as they approached, they were still unmoving, their shields were still walls, and their spears were still like forests.
The armor cavalry, no matter which country in the north and south is a valuable asset, of course, it cannot be wasted in useless battles, so this charge of An Chong and the others is really the same as the charge of Lan Baozhang, it is just a feint. Seeing that the Qin array was not moving, and when it was about to collide with the lance, the twenty-armored cavalry obeyed An Chong's order and turned and retreated.
But An Chong did not return.
If you want to build an elite army, it is indispensable to have a general who can win the hearts of the army and be good at using soldiers, and the more brave and courageous generals like An Chong and Bing Bo, the better.
The role of the fighting general is used at this time.
People are all flesh and blood, especially in the current battle situation, with a mere 200 paces of horsemen, to rush the opposite side of the strong formation of thousands of people, even if the soldiers dare to fight again, may also be nervous, at this time, it is necessary to lead the general colonel to rush to the front, not only to rush to the front, but also to open a gap in the enemy formation in front of the front, in order to inspire and inspire the courage and fighting spirit of the soldiers participating in the battle.
An Chong is very clear about this.
Therefore the twenty horsemen retreated, but he did not retreat.
I saw An Chong hang the riding lance on the side of the horse, take the iron mallet in his hand, urge the war horse, do not reduce the speed,ββ the horse he rode came from the Taima camp in Dingxi, after a long period of training, unlike ordinary war horses, seeing shields, long lances and other obstacles, will not obey the master's orders, stop on their own, or divert around the ,ββ people, horses in one, An Chong crouched on the horse, looked at the tip of the spear of the Qin array in front, waved the iron mallet, and the two enemy lances in front of him were suddenly crooked, and then, the war horse wearing iron armor collided with the enemy shield blocking the way.
The horse weighs more than 1,000 catties, plus the weight of horse armor, people, and human armor, 2,000 catties, and with the help of the inertia of running, the impact force is quite large.
The shield of the Qin Array that was hit by An Chong's mount, the shield hand behind it couldn't withstand this momentum, and was immediately knocked backwards and thrown far away, and with it, he knocked down the rifle and crossbowmen who were listed behind. The axeman stood far away and was not touched. The shield-bearer fell to the ground, his chest sunken, and his mouth spitting blood, and he was no longer alive. According to the usual training, the axeman picked up his shield and, together with the foot lance and crossbowmen who got up, hurried forward; At the same time, the shielder who was knocked over to the left and right of the shield player also moved closer to the gap and quickly adjusted the formation; Nearby lancemen and crossbowmen all stabbed and shot arrows at An Chong and his mounts.
After hitting the shield, the speed of An Chong's horse had decreased, and he could not run, and in an instant, his people and horses were hit by dozens of arrows, and they lost the thickness of the armor, and these arrows could not penetrate; The stabbing lance, because its lance is narrow and long, has strong penetration, and a long lance pierced An Chong's left rib, but it was not deep. An Chong looked back behind him and shouted loudly: "Enter!" β
When the two hundred soldiers heard the order, they all raised the speed of running to the fastest, shouting and rushing over.
β¦β¦
The position of An Chong and the other fierce battles was to the east, and Yorixu was the Chinese army of LΓΌ Zhen.
As the main general, Lu Ming needs to show his composure at this moment, and he said contemptuously: "I really don't know whether to live or die!" Looking at the left and right, he commanded a general, and ordered, "Take its head!" "The general who was ordered was none other than his younger brother Lu Wu.
Lu Wu promised.
Lu Ming called him closer, taught him in person, and said: "The general who broke through my formation, although I don't know who it is, but since he was sent out by Xin Youzhu, he must be a fierce general in Dingxi. After you go, don't fight him, for I will give you a hundred crossbowmen, with armor-piercing arrows, enough to penetrate his armor. All you have to do is shoot him. β
Lu Wu is Lu Ming's younger brother, of course he will not let his younger brother take risks, he has a plan.
LΓΌ Wu led 100 crossbowmen and 100 armor soldiers to rush to An Chong and others to attack.
β¦β¦
At the right time, on the entire battlefield that covered a wide area, the four main generals of the enemy and us, as well as the enemy and our soldiers who did not engage in the battle, all focused their eyes on the size of the land where An Chong and the others fought with the soldiers of the Qin formation.
The eastern formation of the Long soldiers, Xin Er concentrated, and watched the battle situation.
Seeing that An Chong was unstoppable, after knocking over the shield of the Qin army that was blocking in front of him, he seized the opportunity and immediately led the two hundred armor soldiers to enter the Qin array. Arrows, lances, hammers, knives and axes, a scuffle between the enemy and us. The sound of shouting and killing spread all over the battlefield. Although he can't see the details, Xin Er can also expect that at this time, there must be flesh and blood on that small battlefield, and it will be tragic.
The Qin array from a small gap, like a ripple on the surface of the lake, in An Chong's first step, gradually expanded, the small gap extended to both sides, as long as a little while, until An Chong and others killed enough space to move, galloping not far away Twenty armor cavalry, can join the battlefield, at that time, can make this gap, ripples, into a whirlpool, shake the Qin army's eastern formation.
At this moment, he suddenly saw that the soldiers of his own army who were fighting fiercely, like the sea at low tide, turned from attacking to retreating.
