Chapter 446: Mandate of Heaven (3)
Zhang Shumo never dreamed that he was just joking with the drummer who went to the battlefield for the first time, and actually triggered a large-scale battle. If there is a regret medicine in this world, I will never do such a stupid thing again.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, and the cavalry on the right flank of the Yan army has been in close contact with the left army of the Jing army. Who knew that Shen Lang suddenly ordered, and the Jingguo army launched a chariot to encircle his left flank.
This chariot is a common siege machine on the battlefield, but the difference is that its front is full of spikes, which will immediately pierce a hole if it hits it.
Now, Shen Lang used this chariot to connect the city with a barrier, blocking the left flank of Jingguo's army. At the same time, five halberders were placed on each chariot, which were specially used against the cavalry. Obviously, he had prepared for a long time, planning to protect the left and right wings with chariots, and then confront Yan Guo head-on with his infantry.
Although Zang Zhuo saw through Shen Lang's intentions, how could the charge of thousands of troops stop when he said it? But Zang Zhuo immediately reminded everyone: "Bypass each other and go behind them!" ”
After all, the cavalry that could rush to the front had no time to turn around, so they could only crash headlong into the neatly arranged chariots, and immediately turned on their horses.
The Jingguo soldiers on the chariot immediately used their halberds to harvest the lives of the fallen soldiers.
Some of the Yan cavalry, which reacted quickly, turned around in time and rushed towards the rear of the enemy. From time to time, these people looked back at the battle situation, and when they saw their teammates who were knocked on their backs, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough to turn around, I'm afraid I would be lying on the ground now.
Just when these people were rejoicing in their hearts, a group of light cavalry suddenly appeared on the opposite side of them, and it turned out that Shen Lang had already made arrangements. He didn't let Cao Yun charge with the cavalry, in order to hunt and kill these fish that slipped through the net.
These Yan cavalry, who were fortunate enough to transfer and let go, were soon cut leeks by the Jingguo light cavalry who had been prepared for a long time, and the right flank of Yan State was defeated for a while.
Zang Zhuo originally thought that he could save his life by letting his cavalry go around behind the enemy, but he didn't expect that the other party had already prepared. But now he also understands that now he can either crash into the enemy's chariot or hedge with the opponent's light cavalry to fight to the death. Anyway, you have to choose one, so naturally you have to choose a hedge with a higher winning rate!
After making up his mind, Zang Zhuo waved the weapon in his hand and said to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, follow me to crush the light cavalry of the Jingguo dog thief!" ”
With Zang Zhuo's order, the cavalry behind adjusted their direction in time and rushed towards Jingguo's light cavalry.
And Shen Lang showed a contemptuous smile after seeing Zang Zhuo's decision, and said lightly: "Sure enough, when people are in the most dangerous times, their thoughts often don't pass through their brains!" ”
After speaking, Shen Lang waved his hand and said to the herald: "Pass my order, and the chariot will meet the enemy!" ”
With Shen Lang's order, the soldiers of Jingguo's left army immediately began to act. The soldiers, in groups of twenty, pushed up the chariot and approached the flank of the Jingguo cavalry.
Being forced by the Jingguo chariot like this, the Yanguo cavalry immediately messed up. Many people took the initiative to avoid it, but they collided with their own companions behind them, and while they fell to the ground, they also tripped the cavalry behind them. As a result, many Yan cavalry died under the iron hooves of their comrades.
And because She Zhou had already played a battle just now, he was arranged by Zang Zhuo to be the queen of the palace this time. She Zhou, who was at the rear, saw the battle situation in front of him and immediately made up his mind.
In order to resist the impact of the cavalry, the people of the foreground fixed their chariots to the ground. Now that they push the vehicle, they can't hold it in place, so now is a good time to charge the vehicle!
She Zhou, who had made up his mind, couldn't care about Zang Zhuo's order, and immediately yelled at his subordinates: "Everyone follow me to charge the chariot, and I'd rather die than retreat!" ”
After speaking, She Zhou took the lead and rushed over.
And Zang Zhuo's side also realized that he had fallen into a trick, and the other party obviously expected that they would choose to hedge against the Jingguo cavalry, so he had already thought about it.
But there is no turning back from the start, and it is too late to turn around now, anyway, it is already like this, only by sacrificing one's life can there be a glimmer of life.
So Zang Zhuo also launched a ruthless attack, and unconsciously accelerated his speed and rushed to the front of the team.
Zhang Gui had been following Zang Zhuo when he was charging, and when he saw Zang Zhuo suddenly become ruthless, he understood that he was on top. But in the current situation, Zang Zhuo is the pillar of all cavalry, if he has three longs and two shorts, I am afraid that the battle on the right flank Yan Guo will be defeated.
Thinking of this, Zhang Gui shouted at Zang Zhuo: "Kill Jing Gou, why do you need General Zang to do it, Zhang Gui is willing to be a pioneer, and he will not leave a piece of armor to kill Jing Gou!" ”
After saying that, Zhang Gui sped up, rushed to the front of the team, and soon, smashed into the enemy formation.
The cavalry of the two sides finally exchanged hands, and a silver spear in Zhang Gui's hand danced like a tiger and a tiger, and more than a dozen enemy soldiers died in Zhang Gui's snatching in an instant.
However, Jingguo's chariot forced the charging route of the Yan cavalry into a narrow straight line, and compared to the Jingguo cavalry that was fully spread, the Yan cavalry had no numerical advantage, so they soon fell into passivity, relying on the ruthlessness of the soldiers to fight.
She Zhou, the last of the team, didn't know the situation in front of him, but he knew that the people in front of him must be uncomfortable, so he led his men to rush to the Jingguo chariot phalanx at full speed.
She Zhou saw the opportunity, directly gave up the war horse, and jumped onto one of the opponent's chariots. Although there were five enemy soldiers on the chariot, She Zhou was very confident in his martial arts, and fought five enemies in a confined space, and within a few moments there were five more corpses on the ground.
She Zhou's men were encouraged, either following She Zhou's example and jumping into the chariot, or rushing towards the enemy's cart soldiers, after She Zhou's troops were so disturbed, Jingguo's chariot finally stopped harassing, and the Yan cavalry also got room to charge.
Shen Lang didn't expect the Yan army to respond so quickly, but after the killing of the chariot array, the Yan cavalry had already suffered a lot of losses, and this achievement had already made Shen Lang very satisfied.
So Shen Lang immediately ordered the chariot to retreat to the side of the infantry phalanx, so as not to cause greater losses. At the same time, Cao Yun was ordered to lead light cavalry to harass the Yan cavalry, not seeking victory, as long as they were dragged down. Because in Shen Lang's view, it is the Chinese army that can really distinguish the winner from the loser!!
Thinking about it this way, Shen Lang still looked at the infantry who were charging scattered on the left flank of the Yan army: What tricks are they doing? These are infantry and not cavalry, how can they charge at such a distance? When they run in front of our army, will they not have the strength to become a lamb to the slaughter?
Just when Shen Lang was puzzled, a Jingguo hound suddenly ran to report to Shen Lang: "Report to the general, I just got the news that there is a cavalry hidden behind the soldiers who are charging scattered on the left flank of the Yan army, they set off late, I think they don't want us to find out!" ”
