Chapter 583: A Horseless Knight

The distance of four or five miles was not far for the vehicle-mounted heavy Changlin army, which had fully completed the preparations, and the whole army spread out two miles wide and began to move in the direction of due south.

The Changlin army suddenly moved forward, and the most shocked was the Wujie Knight.

There was a commotion in the formation, Hu Zun turned his head left and right to look at the mood changes of the surrounding military officials, and Biqiu Xing's mind had already decided: "Pass my order!" ”

Hu Zun and eight thousand men will drive their horses closer, and they saw the horsewhip in Biqiu Xing's hand pointing diagonally to the gentle slope in the north: "The headquarters of the Metropolitan Governor is coming, and the high ground here is related to the flank of our army, and the Beifu must not be occupied." Here, our army can advance or retreat, eat dry food to rest and relieve strength, and kill the enemy after a full meal! ”

As Biqiuxing said, a thousand-strong Ba Yi Li Hu division in the Qiang Qiang coalition army on the opposite side is moving towards this slope...... It's just two legs, where can four legs run fast?

As if in order to intercept and prevent the warriors of Li Hubu from seizing the high ground, more than 3,000 martial knights turned around and headed north, trampling on the ground dried at noon, and quickly rolling northward accompanied by dust.

On the high ground of the light chariot army, Xiahou Shang wore gilded bright light armor and face armor, standing on the watchtower to watch the changes in the battle situation.

The high ground that can be seized by dividing thousands of troops, but Biqiu Xing pressed it up with all the cavalry.

What is this trying to do?

Xiahou Shang smiled when he saw it, and said to Wang Zhong beside him: "I look at Wu Qianyongliang's army, like a local chicken and tile dog." Wei has no one to do, making this shaft famous. ”

Wang Zhong's eyes moved with the Wujie knight, and he was cautious and didn't want to get into trouble: "Don't underestimate it, I'm afraid it's Wu's treacherous plan." The knight of Wujie is its foundation, and now the retreat of the army has the fact of preserving combat power. This unit is stationed on the slope and has the ability to supervise the war. ”

Xiahou Shang still laughed, and his tone was confident: "The old general only knows that Wu is resourceful, but he doesn't know the details of Biqiu's prosperity. ”

Smiling casually, Xiahou Shang was in a good mood, staring at Guo Chen's more than thirty rides.

Although it is a fine cavalry, no matter how sparse the Qiangqi coalition army is, it is not difficult to gather a miscellaneous cavalry force of 1,000 people.

How did the more than 30 horsemen rush through this rabble?

It is difficult to rush over, and when hedging, Guo Chen's more than 30 horsemen were determined to die, but waves of miscellaneous horses rushed head-on, and there were constantly knights who were picked off, or the horse's speed fell and stopped due to the impact, and in the blink of an eye, they were cut off the horse by a large number of miscellaneous horses.

In the end, only six knights broke through alive, and all of them were wounded, so they did not dare to stay and rushed towards the high ground of the light chariot army.

There was a temporary repair in front of the high ground to facilitate the entry and exit of the chariots, and the six horsemen threw off the pursuers and fought along the slope.

Wang Zhong smiled embarrassedly when he saw this: "Qiang is useless, Wu Zhen has to be forcibly conscripted into the army, and I don't know what he thinks." ”

Xiahou Shang didn't provoke the mistakes in Wang Zhong's words, it was obviously just a nonsense when the situation was right and there was nothing to say, there was no need to hold on, and said according to Wang Zhong's wishes: "Go and see, what the person who came said." ”

"Yes."

Wang Zhong wanted to say something to express his position, but Xiahou Shang had already raised his head to see the battle situation in the distance, and Wang Zhong couldn't disturb Xiahou Shang's interest, so he walked down the wooden ladder.

The gate of the camp was not closed, but five anti-assassination chariots were placed...... Whoever dares to charge up the horse slope will be able to rush down the horse slope one by one.

The light chariot army also occupied the high ground and had rudimentary fortifications, and at this moment the bows and crossbows were lined up in the cracks of the fence, aiming at the Qiangdi coalition army that surrounded the camp below the slope.

Wang Zhong climbed to the gate of the village and lowered his head to examine it carefully, Guo Chen's right hand was cut off from his wrist, and his own rider was tying his arm to stop the bleeding.

His face was pale and stained with blood, Guo Chen looked up at Wang Zhong, and his tone was sincere and full of hope: "General Qingche!" The knights of Wujie came to solve the difficulties, and asked the general of the light car to overcome the difficulties and send troops to help the battle! ”

Wang Zhong couldn't bear to be sarcastic and irritate Guo Chen, and pointed to the high slope due west with his arm: "Guo Jun, the Wujie knight has also gone up the mountain to defend himself, and I am afraid it will be difficult to accept my subordinates to go down the mountain to participate in the battle." ”

Guo Chen was a little unconvinced, turned his head to look, and saw that the slope due west was already full of dust, and the arrows were sparsely released on the slope, trying to seize the shield cover of this slope, and retreated alternately.

Still a little unconvinced, Guo Chen went to see the original station of the Wujie Knight, which was empty and ...... anything There are a lot of abandoned horse manure eggs.

Guo Chen looked back at Wang Zhong, who looked helpless and silent.

In the pre-war planning, the Eastern Front Army would definitely be defeated; This is the last position that Wang Zhong held onto; Gathering the Qiangqi coalition army, how can it contain the enemy army of 20,000 or 30,000.

But the situation developed more than expected, and the Eastern Front Army was indeed finished, but the Qiangqi coalition army also simply reversed and surrounded this place.

Coupled with the main force of Ma Chao's department who supervised the battle on one side, in other words, Wang Zhong still dragged the planned ...... here Enemy soldiers.

In this case, the light car army was forced to go down the mountain to participate in the battle...... It's just too much.

As far as the horse slope on the high ground is concerned, it is decided how many light car troops come out and how many people die, and it is a meaningless battle at all.

Unless there is a strong offensive force to respond, the situation can be opened, and the inside and outside should be combined and the center should blossom.

Guo Chen endured his grief and indignation, and looked up at Wang Zhong: "Now that the battle situation is not going well, what does General Qingche think?" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor should raise his army and attack Chen Gong's main formation."

Wang Zhong gave a pertinent opinion in as calm a tone as possible: "This is the only chance. The more it is delayed, the more the armies think of a way out, the will to fight collapses, and they will collapse by themselves! ”

Guo Chen looked back at the battlefield again, and could already see that after the Changlin army advanced, it successfully blocked behind the Wuhuan knights' formation, and was forcing the Wuhuan knights to fight to the death.

After hesitating, Wang Zhong walked away from the gate of the village, Wang Zhong didn't say anything, Guo Chen drove his horse into the camp, walked along the passage to the mountain beam behind the village, walked around the mountain beam, and was able to bypass the ravine in a roundabout way...... Directly appeared on the high slope where the Wujie knight was located, and he could continue to detour around to Wu Zhen's main formation.

The Changlin Army Front, with a strength of more than 4,000, is a heavily armed force, but it is not fully rearmed...... This kind of luxury configuration is not very practical at the moment, and it lacks value for money.

Thus it was a hoplite composite force, consisting of a thousand men of super-heavy infantry, wearing basin-collar armor, or two layers of armor; There are 1,000 men of two-crotch armored infantry and nearly 2,000 lightly armed auxiliary troops.

This armor matching ratio is close to the three guards of the Beifu pro-army.

The only task of the 2,000-strong auxiliary light infantry is to send the super-heavy infantry to the battlefield and ensure that the super-heavy infantry can join the battle with the best physical fitness.

And now, this super heavy infantry has begun to assemble, and only heavy melee combat can break through the other heavy infantry phalanx.

Xian Yufu and Zhang Xiong met, and to Zhang Xiong's surprise, in this case, Xian Yufu actually smiled...... Could it be that the Metropolitan Governor has another plan, but he doesn't know it?

Pressing the doubts in his heart, he heard Xian Yufu smile and said: "The Wujie knights retreat, I expect that the enemy's cavalry will definitely go around the formation and cut off my way back." If this is the case, the majority of the Metropolitan Governor will cover up and kill from behind, and it can be broken with one drum! ”

Zhang Xiong also glanced at the Wujie knights on the retreating slope to the north, which was a cavalry army that restrained Ma Daixiao's cavalry; The retreat of the Wujie knights meant that Ma Dai's cavalry could be put into use.

While thinking about it, I saw that the cavalry in the low ground in the south began to move, and attacked in a roundabout way from the east; The seven battalions of cavalry in Beifu also moved eastward to occupy the positions left by the Xiao cavalry. As long as you stay here, you can continue to contain each other with the martial knights who have come back.

The terrain here is slightly higher, so you can clearly see the scene of the front-line fighting, and you can also see what happened there in Tian Xin.

The green umbrella on the car where Tian Xin was located had been burned by the rocket, and only the umbrella bones remained; And Tian Xin himself was there with a stray arrow, fighting back with a bow, and every shot would take a life.

In many cases, an arrow often hits the front door and dies instantly, and it will also pierce the second person, so that the surrounding Wuhuan knights on foot hold shields to cover them, and the intensity of the attack decreases.

The entire two-mile-wide battle line has killed many horses, and the Beifu shield array has been broken, but the Wuhuan knight has become a panting Wuhuan foot knight.

Strangling together against each other, it seems that there are constant casualties, but such casualties are acceptable.

If one side is the first to rout, the side that loses the cover of its companions will have a sharp increase in casualties in a short period of time.

They are all veterans of war, so they naturally know the terrible consequences of turning around and fleeing.

If you can insist, no one will be willing and dare to retreat; Xian Yufu did not dare to replace it rashly...... Fortunately, Zhang Xiong's Changlin army was close and could rush into the fight, gradually withdraw the Wuhuan foot knights, recuperate, and wait for a new combat opportunity.
