Chapter 835: Emperor Onishi Died in front of the array
Chapter 835: Emperor Daxi died in front of the battle
After quickly running to about two miles away from the main formation of the Great Western Army, the Tang Army stopped and began to line up on the spot.
The formation formed by the Tang Army was a matrix battle formation with a width almost twice that of the Great Western Army opposite, with more than 20,000 shield soldiers lined up, and the two rows of sharp and sharp shields were like a temporary steel wall.
Behind the shield soldiers, there are dense spearmen, and on the steel wall built by the shield soldiers, above each shield, there is a 4-meter stainless steel spear with a cold light, like a poisonous dragon ready to attack, waiting for the prey that is getting closer and closer on the opposite side.
The Tang Army's spearmen had three layers, which could ensure that there were enough troops to fill the losses, and the entire formation was very strict and full of awe-inspiring murderous aura.
Behind the spearmen, there are Tang Army auxiliaries holding earth-shattering thunder, these unarmored auxiliaries are actually the killer existence of the Tang Army. Each of them had more than a dozen one-handed sky-shaking thunderbolts hanging from their waists, and they seemed to have no offensive power, but they were actually the Tang Army's biggest secret weapon.
Behind the entire Tang Army's gun and shield battle array, there were two cavalry divisions and two heavy armored marching troops, which were used to protect the security of the flanks.
After the soldiers and horses of the two towns of the Tang Army, Sun Kewang and Ma Yuanli divided tens of thousands of troops and followed closely behind as supplementary personnel.
Seeing that his own soldiers were already in a complete formation, Monk An, the chief general of the Tang Army, who was glad that he had finally arrived in time, did not hesitate to give the order for the whole army to attack.
A large-scale head-to-head confrontation has officially begun.
When all the infantry of the Tang army rushed forward to attack together, the command flag in the Tang army's formation waved high again, and a strange swan horn sounded, Zhang Xianzhong was surprised to see that from the distant horizon, as if magic, the Tang army gathered a huge cavalry team of about 7,000 people, and ran around quickly.
"Your Majesty, the cavalry of the Tang Army is rushing towards the main camp of our army!"
At this moment, the guards next to Zhang Xianzhong, after seeing the dynamics of the Tang Army clearly, screamed in horror.
Zhang Xianzhong's face was pale, his mouth was half open, his eyes were full of disbelief, and his head was blank at this time.
I never expected that the Tang army would be able to rush back at such a critical time, and now, he is going to directly capture the king first.
Zhang Xianzhong even suspected that in such a difficult situation as the battle situation, these reinforcements of the Tang Army were still so calm, and they had been quietly hiding this killing move, until they had played all the cards in their hands, and then they released this winning hand.
What to do?
What the hell is going to do now?!
Zhang Xianzhong's face was defeated, he raised his head to look at his own soldiers who were fighting desperately at the head of the city, and the pain in his heart was like a knife.
If you want to protect all your subordinates and yourself, the only way is to stop the siege and return to the army to meet the enemy.
"Pass on the military order, immediately sound the gold, and let all the soldiers who attacked the city return to their own formations and line up to meet the enemy." After Zhang Xianzhong finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Order!"
Hearing the sound of gold in this formation, and it was so clear, those Onishi soldiers who attacked the city wall almost couldn't believe my ears.
No way?!
Now that he has attacked the head of Langzhong City, he is fighting such a bloody battle with the defenders, and now he has a clear advantage, and his own emperor has ordered a retreat at such a critical time, which is simply ridiculous.
Could it be that my ears misheard?
It's just that the sound of gold is as tight as one, the sound is soul-inspiring, endless, how can you hear it wrong?!
This order to retreat urgently is absolutely true.
The soldiers of the Great Western Army, who attacked the city, were helpless, and everyone's faces were full of unwillingness, so they had to fight and retreat, and retreated from the siege ladder stained with blood and internal organs again. For a time, from the city wall to the siege ladder, the soldiers of the Great Western Army were all in a mess.
Of course, compared to the soldiers who attacked the city, those who retreated the fastest were the auxiliaries who watched from behind, and then those who attacked with siege engines and ramming equipment.
It was a pity that they all had to do their best to carry this huge and heavy siege ram across the moat with great difficulty, and before they could break the drawbridge, they heard the order to retreat, and they were really dejected.
Looking down from the sky, the Great Western Army, which was originally besieging the city on all sides, was like a retreating tide, intensively withdrawing to the west, and there were even many soldiers of the Great Western Army, whose own soldiers were trampled to death because they accidentally fell down.
Seeing that the Great Western Army retreated, retreating to the main formation from the four city walls, the soldiers of the Tang Army defending the city suddenly broke out into thunderous cheers.
Rao is now attacking the city of the Great Western Army began to retreat in a hurry, but the Great Western Emperor Zhang Xianzhong did not expect that the cavalry of the Tang Army would come so quickly.
Among the cavalry of the Tang Army, at the forefront were the more than 2,000 Xuanhu heavy cavalry, like steel tanks, from the Daxi Army soldiers who stayed in the main formation to meet in a hurry, and ruthlessly rushed into the Daxi Army formation that was turning around and lining up in chaos.
Heavily armoured and weighing as much as half a ton, the Xuanhu Heavy Horse, like a terrifying steel beast, rushed into the unsuspecting rogue who was hurrying the nations with a fierce and high-speed attitude, and its impact reached an almost terrifying level.
Countless soldiers of the Great Western Army were shocked by the iron horse and flew all over the sky like pieces of paper, and after crossing a long or short arc in the air, they fell to the ground with a snap, and they were either dead or disabled.
And more of the Great Western soldiers were knocked to the ground by this iron-armored heavy horseman, and then their heads or stomachs were trampled alive by the thick iron hooves that came one after another, and a terrible popping sound sounded on the ground.
The incomparable Tang Army's Xuanhu Heavy Cavalry, in the screams of the rogues, from the fleeing rogue array, with violence and death, ploughed out a bloody road with blurred flesh and blood, covered with broken limbs and wreckage.
The remaining infantry of the Great Western Army stationed in this formation all collapsed when they landed.
They abandoned their weapons, wailed loudly, and even took off their armor as they ran, in order to be able to escape as much as possible in this escape competition.
In the cavalry team of the Tang Army, more than 1,000 flying harriers were immediately divided into light cavalry, like maggots attached to the bones, beasts that kept chasing their prey, and continued to bite and hunt them mercilessly.
"Don't run! You bastards, come back to Lao Tzu! ”
Seeing that his own guards were rushed by the Tang army, and they went to a complete rout, Zhang Xianzhong's heart was as painful as a knife, but he was already powerless.
It's just that Zhang Xianzhong didn't have time to think about it, and the Tang cavalry, which had broken his own infantry, roared towards the 3,000 escort cavalry who were protecting him.
Seeing the Tang cavalry rushing forward, Zhang Xianzhong had no way to hide in a hurry, so he immediately ordered the whole army to attack and fight against the Tang army.
The Tang cavalry rushed all the way at high speed, the overall formation was still very complete, and the black sharp arrows, like a fierce fist, rushed into the escort cavalry that came to intercept them in an instant with a very sharp momentum.
The cavalry of the Tang Army, which was heavily armored and weighed half a ton, made the arrows of the Tang Army's assault, and their impact was fierce, like a galloping tank, and the 3,000 enemy cavalry that had been scattered and had only turned around in a hurry to meet the battle became more and more scattered.
The worst were the cavalry of the Great Western Army that was facing the Tang cavalry, and many of them were killed by the Tang cavalry who rushed forward before they could make a move.
Under the fierce assault of the Tang army, the cavalry of the Great Western Army either fell off their horses screaming, or were stabbed in the chest by sharp cavalry spears, and many were pierced by the Tang Army's cavalry spears or cavalry knives, even men and horses were stabbed in pairs, and the death was very terrifying.
The cavalry of the Tang Army, which was almost twice the number of the enemy army and had a very strict formation, immediately dealt a solid and ferocious blow to the cavalry of the Great Western Army, which was inferior in numbers and scattered in formation.
Immediately, the two cavalry teams were immediately strangled together.
The clanging of swords and slashes, the tooth-aching porphyry sound of cutting bones, the dull pop sound of stabbing into the body of a human horse, the screams of dying and the mournful screams of a dying horse, suddenly resounded.
It's just that in the face of the strong combat power and fierce assault of the Tang cavalry, the cavalry of the Great Western Army, which was hastily put into battle and scattered in formation, although they resisted desperately, were almost in vain.
In this stalemate battle between the cavalry, it can be clearly seen that the wedge-shaped battle formation of the Tang army is constantly squeezing forward and impacting, while Zhang Xianzhong and his subordinates are constantly retreating backwards, and the entire formation is becoming more and more messy.
As the battle between the two armies deepened, the formation of the Tang Army began to gradually change, and the entire military formation of the Great Western Army was gradually swallowed by the Tang Army's fierce and ferocious cavalry formation, and it began to be gradually swallowed by the Tang Army's battle formation in a semi-arc.
The two armies fought, slashing with swords and spears, shouting and shouting, and the cavalry fell from their horses screaming, or their mounts were cut to the ground, and they let out a mournful scream.
This cavalry battle, which had obvious superiority in the Tang Army, quickly showed a one-sided tendency, and the cavalry of the Great Western Army, which had struggled to support, was still struggling to wait for reinforcements. And as the Tang Army spearmen behind came quickly, the whole battle situation became clear in an instant.
A Tang Army spearman armed with a 4-meter stainless steel spear ran all the way here, and everyone was already out of breath, but he was still a hundred times more energetic, and his morale was like a rainbow. They shouted and rushed quickly, completely cutting off the rear road of the cavalry of the Great Western Army, and completely outflanking them from front to back, so that this group of enemy cavalry, who had been struggling to support, quickly fell into a desperate situation of being completely surrounded.
A sharp steel spear, like a flying poisonous dragon, roared and stabbed fiercely, and the rogue cavalry, men and horses, were stabbed by the spears one after another, one cavalry after another screamed and fell from their horses, and one after another the war horses neighed and fell to the ground.
The battle was fierce, the fighting was not stopped, the people shouted and the horses neighed, and in this sudden battle of encirclement and annihilation, the Tang army completely gained the upper hand in a very short period of time, and the whole battle has already shown a one-sided trend.
"The whole army obeys the order, you must hold on, you must hold on!"
Seeing that the cavalry had been completely surrounded by the Tang army, and the number of people fighting against him was getting smaller and smaller, Zhang Xianzhong, the emperor of Daxi who led the army to fight, felt the horror of imminent death for the first time, and let out a cry of almost despair.
At this moment, a sharp riding spear, like a poisonous snake flying from the sky, pierced his throat at once, and the sharp and sharp head of the spear pierced through the back of his neck.
Zhang Xianzhong's shout stopped abruptly, his eyes widened, his mouth snorted, and he subconsciously grabbed the cold hilt of the gun, as if he wanted to pull it out of his throat.
And the Tang cavalry on the opposite side who took his life, sneered, shook his right hand, and quickly pulled out the cavalry spear, and a terrible hole appeared in Zhang Xianzhong's throat, and blood spurted out wildly.
The emperor of the Great Western Kingdom, like a stake, rolled silently from his horse, smashing up a large patch of viscous blood and mud, and never moved again.
Zhang Xianzhong, who fell to the ground, could feel that his life was leaving as quickly as flowing water, his whole body was rapidly becoming lighter, and his consciousness began to blur.
At the moment when life and consciousness were about to die together, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly recalled the whole process of starting from rebellion, to sweeping the Ming Realm, to establishing Daxi, and finally being stabbed and killed by the Tang army outside this Langzhong City.
Grandma's, Lao Tzu has lived a vigorous life in this life, and all the blessings he deserves to enjoy are exhausted, and he is worthy of this life to die like this.
No one saw that the Emperor of Onishi, who started as a thief, actually pulled a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
A generation of heroes finally came to the end of their lives at this time.
Seeing that the emperor of the Great Western Kingdom was killed by the Tang cavalry in front of the battle, the enemy cavalry next to him screamed in mourning, and the entire formation became more and more scattered, almost out of control.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
The cavalry of the Great Western Army, which was hit by the enemy, screamed in mourning and resisted with great difficulty for a while, and finally completely collapsed.
A very small number of cavalry began to urgently break through and escape, while more cavalry of the Great Western Army howled loudly and threw their weapons on the spot, raising their hands and begging for mercy, looking very pitiful.
It's just that in this chaotic battlefield, the scattered enemy army is extremely difficult to control, and the Tang army is in a hurry to cross the river to fight, and it simply has no ability and time to collect the prisoners, so the red-eyed Tang cavalry and spearmen are still roaring like beasts, mercilessly trying to kill all the remaining cavalry of the Great Western Army.
In the end, the Daxi cavalry, which had less than 200 cavalry, fought to the death to break out of the encirclement, retreated to the pontoon bridge in embarrassment, and was extremely lucky to save his life and escape.
The remaining more than 2,700 Onishi cavalry were all killed by the wolf-like Tang army on this battlefield like a Shura slaughterhouse.
At a glance, the entire empty outskirts of Langzhong in the west is like a slaughterhouse, and the ground is covered with the corpses of enemy soldiers and the corpses of war horses.
This long and winding river of blood, winding and long, is red and dazzling, making people's hearts palpitate.
On the entire battlefield, there was still Wang Shangli, the general of the Chinese army, leading all the siege infantry, still resisting stubbornly. Having withdrawn from the siege with difficulty, they did not know what was going on in their own formation now, and they were desperately trying to open a way from more and more Tang infantry, and rushed desperately towards their own formation.
At this time, in front of Wang Shangli, a cavalry suddenly rushed in, led by the cavalry, holding a spear high, and on the tip of the spear, there was a bloody and blurred head.
"Enemy troops, listen! Emperor Zhang Xianzhong has already killed our army, and you will not surrender early, let alone when! ”
