Chapter 251: Bloody Battle of Huanggongling (4)
"Thunderbolt! Give it to me! ”
Sun Xu saw that the thieves who came to block him were at the end of their crossbows, and not only suffered heavy casualties but had already begun to retreat, so he began to counterattack.
Hundreds of mine-throwers in heavy armor rushed forward, followed behind the retreating army of thieves, and threw one after another earth-shattering thunderbolts into the bandit brigade.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The sound of explosions sounded one after another, accompanied by one fire after another, the thieves and horses were killed and wounded, and there were screaming wounded and damaged corpses everywhere, and the remaining more than 10,000 thieves collapsed on the spot, and tens of thousands of thieves and thieves poured all over the mountains and fields towards the southern slope of the Huanggong Mountains.
Seeing this, Sun Xu laughed, and led the army of the Yanzhou Mansion Zheng Barracks to advance again, rushing towards the Beijing camp phalanx.
At the same time, Dai Jingkui, a staff general who was holding the phalanx, stood on the high ground, seeing that thousands of Yanzhou Mansion soldiers and horses had easily defeated 20,000 thieves, and his heart was also excited, and he smiled at the soldiers around him and said: "With Liu's guerrilla soldiers and horses, we will definitely win this battle!" ”
As he was talking, he saw that the tens of thousands of thieves besieging the Beijing camp phalanx began to scatter, and many thieves fled back, bringing back the news that the official army reinforcements were extremely strong, and the morale of the army collapsed by itself in an instant!
"Hold on!"
The leader of the thieves who led the army still wanted to stabilize the army and then send troops and horses to block the reinforcements of the official army, but the thieves and soldiers under his command were already in a big mood, and even many thieves began to retreat on their own.
"It's over!"
The leader of the thieves saw that the reinforcements of the official army had been killed, and this attack could be said to have failed, so he ordered the whole army to retreat, preparing to go back to ask Deng Maoqi for his guilt.
At this time, tens of thousands of thieves began to retreat, and when General Dai Jingkui saw this, he seized the fighter plane and immediately ordered more than 10,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp to immediately pursue and bite the retreating army of thieves.
At the same time, General Dai Jingkui issued an order, ordering the Yanzhou Mansion Barracks to directly flank the flank of the thief army.
For a time, the southern slope of the Huanggong Mountains was surging, and the three armies were entangled like three dragons, and a fierce battle began.
At this time, Sun Xu had already led his troops to occupy one side of the battlefield, and was storming the left flank of more than 70,000 defeated bandits.
And the general Dai Jingkui also led his troops to kill, is biting the back of the thieves for a fierce attack, although the soldiers of the Beijing camp suffered a lot of casualties, but after all, it is a strong army in the Ming army, at this time in the face of the thieves who have been defeated, the soldiers have roared and launched a charge, forming a formation into the bandit formation, and completely disrupting the already scattered bandit team.
"Stop them! Hold the back! ”
The leader of the thieves roared hoarsely, and tried to stabilize the situation and retreat slowly, but to no avail, at this time, tens of thousands of thieves were attacked from both sides of the official army, and they were defeated in a blink of an eye, and fled back towards Deng Maoqi's main formation in the north of the battlefield.
It didn't take long for Sun Xu to lead his troops and the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp to converge, and the two sides occupied the side of the southern slope of the Huanggong Mountains and began to regroup.
At this time, General Dai Jingkui thought that the two troops and horses would join forces and chase after the thieves' routs and kill directly at the thieves' main formation.
But Sun Xu thought about it for a while, and then dissuaded: "General, now our two armies are exhausted, especially the soldiers of the Beijing camp, who have suffered a lot of casualties, so let's be cautious." What's more, although the thieves here have been defeated, there are still tens of thousands of thieves in their own formation, and the situation of the Mongolian iron cavalry in the east is unknown, so we still guard the southern slope of the Huanggong Mountains! ”
Hearing this, General Dai Jingkui pondered for a while, looked at the tired soldiers of the Beijing camp around him, and then sighed and said, "Okay! The order goes: the whole army retreats and returns to the Huanggongling position to garrison! ”
"Order!"
As soon as the herald ran to deliver the order, General Dai Jingkui and the commander Sun Xu saw a team rushing back in a hurry. The Mongolian iron cavalry in the east is surrounded by a large army of thieves and cannot rush out, please ask the general to rush to the aid immediately! ”
"What!"
General Dai Jingkui was taken aback when he heard this, he never expected that thousands of fierce Mongolian iron cavalry would be surrounded!
Sun Xu also frowned, and said secretly: "It stands to reason that these Mongolian Tatars should be able to get out even if they can't win, how can they fight like this!" ”
"Herald! The whole army immediately marched east to help! ”
As soon as General Dai Jingkui's words fell, he saw another team running back at night.
"General Qiyu! The Mongolian horse team was surrounded and annihilated by thieves! At this time, tens of thousands of thieves are coming from the east! ”
Hearing this, General Dai Jingkui's face was extremely ugly, he lost thousands of iron cavalry in the first battle, even if he defeated the army of Deng Mao's seven divisions here, it was just a miserable victory on the side of the military department, and it was fortunate not to be punished by the military department!
"Bastard!"
Thinking of this, General Dai Jingkui couldn't help but scold those Mongolian Tatars, what a good defeat battle, it turned out to be like this!
"Pass the order: the whole army immediately retreats, sticks to the position on the southern slope of the Huanggong Mountains, and prepares to meet the army of thieves!"
Sun Xu also hurriedly sent someone to report the news of the annihilation of the Mongol Iron Cavalry to Liu Juntao, and at the same time led the Yanzhou Mansion Barracks to retreat along with the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Battalion, preparing to meet the army of thieves on the southern slope of the Huanggong Mountains.
At the same time, Liu Juntao was also shocked to receive the news of the annihilation of the Mongolian iron cavalry, if the thieves succeeded in capturing thousands of war horses, it would not be long before the thieves could form a horse team of thousands of people, and then the situation would really get out of control!
"The thieves must be severely damaged in this battle!"
Liu Juntao secretly made up his mind, so he ordered Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu to immediately lead their troops and horses to launch a counterattack, and defeated the tens of thousands of thieves in front of him within half an hour.
After that, Liu Juntao prepared to concentrate the soldiers and horses of the Yanzhou Mansion Qi Barracks, the front and rear camps of Yushan Town, and the Iron Cavalry Battalion, and invited tens of thousands of troops from Deng Mao's seven divisions.
Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu were also shocked when they received the order, and they ordered to start a counterattack.
I saw that hundreds of mine-throwers from the two battalions took the initiative to attack, and a burst of earth-shattering thunder smashed over, instantly killing and wounding the thieves and horses.
Immediately afterwards, the two battalions of swordsmen and horses rushed forward in formation, and thousands of elite birdmen pushed over in a neat horizontal formation, and thousands of birdmen were already loaded with bayonets and ready to start hand-to-hand combat.
At this time, President Liu Youfu and President Liu Youcai rushed to the front with the guards, and the two laughed excitedly, as if they were not going to fight, but to go to the banquet.
And Fan Jing, the commander of the rear battalion of the Yushan Town Guard, had a cold face, holding a long knife in both hands and leading his troops to charge in formation, and took the lead in rushing into the thief formation.
"Kill!"
The general Fan Jing roared, and together with the more than 400 soldiers in the department, the knife fell, and countless dazzling knife lights flashed, and the surrounding thieves were immediately cut to the ground, clearing the way for the bird guns behind him.
In less than half an hour, the tens of thousands of thieves in front of them completely collapsed, and they fled back towards the main formation of thieves in the rear, which looked spectacular from a distance.
Seeing this, Liu Juntao ordered the whole army to stop the pursuit and reorganize the formation on the spot.
At this time, Liu Juntao led the Yanzhou Mansion Strange Battalion in the center, Zhang Xiaojun led the Yushan Town Guards to the left, Yan Hu led the Yushan Town Guards to the right, and Zhou Zongsheng led the Yushan Town Guards Iron Cavalry Battalion to stand by.
After the soldiers of the fourth battalion finished arranging, Liu Juntao gave an order and led more than 23,000 soldiers to advance and kill the main formation of Deng Mao's seven divisions.
Deng Maoqi looked at the tens of thousands of defeated soldiers on the middle and west roads, his heart was burning with anger, he roared loudly, and commanded his soldiers and horses to stop the rout, so as not to impact the main formation.
"Let these bastards go to the back and regroup to prepare for the enemy!"
Deng Maoqi worked hard for a long time before he gathered up the rout troops on the middle and west roads, with a total of more than 120,000 soldiers, and re-formed in the rear of the 50,000 fresh troops.
At this time, Deng Maoqi saw Liu Juntao's troops and horses slowly approaching, and his eyes were full of fierceness.
At this moment, Deng Maoqi learned that the soldiers and horses on the East Road had won, and he had also gathered thousands of iron horsemen of the official army!
For a while, a glimmer of hope rose in Deng Maoqi's heart: "Perhaps, I can gather and annihilate the officers and troops here in this battle!" ”
