Chapter 29 Pioneer Pan Zhigang
Early the next morning, Wang Da led 5,000 cavalry to Pan Zhigang's camp not far away, Wang Da sent a small team of people to scold the formation, all kinds of ugly words were scolded, but no one came out to meet the battle.
Wang Da, who was already a little obese, was angry and wiped his sweat on the horse, watching the time pass little by little, if the agreed time was delayed, it would be a matter of military law! Wang Da was ruthless and ordered a lieutenant general beside him: "You, take five hundred people to attack the enemy camp!" ”
The lieutenant general was obviously reluctant, this was obviously going to be cannon fodder! But the order of the army could not be violated, and in desperation, he beckoned and began to charge with five hundred men.
Pan Zhigang was watching the battle with a clairvoyant mirror on the watchtower in the camp, and behind the closed camp gate, there were neat cavalry queues, and from time to time there were war horses snorting, as if they were also waiting for the upcoming battle.
When the lieutenant's 500 cavalry was still fifty meters away from the camp gate, there was still no movement in the camp, and even the archers guarding the camp did not draw their bows.
The lieutenant general who rushed to the front of the team was thinking that something was wrong, and suddenly a falling force knocked him off his horse, there was a trap! Then the cavalry charging in the rear did not have time to restrain their horses, and they also followed in the footsteps of the lieutenant general. Even if some of the quicker reflexes grabbed their horses, they were knocked into the trap by their companions who were charging quickly behind.
At this time, I saw Pan Zhigang wave his right hand, and the flag commander next to him waved the flag in his hand, and the archers on the camp pulled the bow in their hands to the full, and threw it out indiscriminately towards the sky, and the target was the small cavalry regiment that had been out of formation.
Wang Da, who was in the distance, was heartbroken when he saw this situation, but there was no way to retreat, and he waved his big knife and shouted: "The whole army charges!" As soon as his legs clamped the horse's belly, he rushed out first.
Pan Zhigang stood on the watchtower and looked at the situation outside the camp, turned around and gave a brief explanation to the flag commander beside him, then got off the watchtower and rode to the front of the team.
The five hundred cavalrymen outside the camp gate were still struggling under the double attack of traps and arrows from the air, and the lieutenant was the worst of them, who was being dragged back by several soldiers with shields.
The flag commander of the guard tower in the camp changed to another command flag and waved it fiercely in the direction of the camp gate, only to see that several soldiers guarding the camp gate began to slowly open the camp gate.
Pan Zhigang threw the spear dragged on the ground into the air, and after riding a horse and spinning in place, he firmly held the spear falling from the air in his hand and shouted: "Kill! ”
The cavalry who had been ready to go also followed and shouted, and then began to charge the cavalry, after the horse speed was slowly raised, and the five hundred cavalry in the trap were already close to the ruler, and the archers in the camp at this time had already stopped shooting arrows, but all got off the camp, changed into infantry equipment, and began to organize the formation, preparing for the sweeping work after the cavalry charge.
The trap, which was not too deep, had been filled with war horses and cavalry at this time, Pan Zhigang took the lead and rushed to the position of the lieutenant general without hindrance.
The remnants of 500 men were defeated, and in the face of the neatly formed charging cavalry of at least 3,000 people, the result can be imagined. When Pan Zhigang was only a few meters away from the lieutenant general, he jumped on his horse, and several infantry with shields on the opposite side were either frightened to dodge, or were hit by the jumping war horses and flew out.
But it wasn't over yet, Pan Zhigang's eyes widened, his face was hideous, he shouted, picked up the lieutenant general with the spear in his hand, and then threw it forward. Then the lieutenant was completely trampled into a pulp under the iron hooves of the three thousand cavalry...
Originally, the vanguard army brought by Pan Zhigang this time was the elite of Hanzhong Mansion, all of them were carefully selected, and the riding skills were naturally not enough, and the combat quality was far from being comparable to Wang Dajun.
Moreover, Pan Zhigang's vanguard army was angry in their hearts, they were originally at home for the New Year, but they were tossed by Niu Guiyi, and after the Lantern Festival, they had to go to the front line to fight.
Among the men and horses brought by Wang Da, the fighting quality was originally a cut short of the elite of the capital of Shannan Province, and the defeat of the 500 people just now greatly reduced their morale, and the barbaric scene of Pan Zhigang just now was even more terrifying!
In fact, there is no point in fighting to such a point, and Wang Da is doomed to failure. In fact, the 3,000 people led by Pan Zhigang suddenly changed their formation and became two columns when they were about to contact Wang Dajun, and the two columns were divided into three small columns. But they help each other, rely on each other, and complement each other.
Each column was led by a fierce general, like a sharp knife, tearing open gaps in Wang Dajun's formation, and after rushing into the enemy's formation, the two large columns continued to change their formations, trying to advance in three directions: left, center, and right.
After a charge breakthrough, the cavalry regiment of 3,000 people was divided into 30 cavalry regiments of 100 people at this time, and each cavalry regiment was responsible for an angle.
After the original first charge, Wang Dajun's formation was already scattered and unpresentable, only a group of desperate guards gathered around Wang Da. Wang Da looked at the army he had brought, and shouted angrily: "Waste! Rubbish! Kill me! Resist! Resist their charge! Can't so many of us hold them back! ”
It's a pity that the war does not depend on the number of personnel, as the saying goes, the defeat is like a mountain, Wang Da has lost 500 people in the first battle just now, and Wang Da lost even more defeat in the second charge! In fact, his anger and rebuke are just to show the fear in his heart.
Just as he rode around in the same place, looking at the enemy cavalry everywhere around him, and didn't know what to do, he only heard a voice in his ear: "Death to the horseman!" Then he felt a chill in his heart, and then he felt as if he could fly, and he could no longer hear any sound in his ears, but his eyes still reflected the familiar and unfamiliar hideous face just now, and then he felt himself fall heavily on the ground, and then he lost any consciousness.
