Chapter 638: Bloody Battle to the End (2)
Right flank of the battlefield.
The 90,000 captives were already somewhat overwhelmed, and under the cavalry of the 50,000 light cavalry of the Huorati Division, the casualties continued to increase, and there was already a rout.
I saw that 50,000 light cavalry of the Huorati Division were constantly rotating around the large array of the captive army, and the dense rain of arrows continued to fall, thinning the large array of the captive army layer by layer.
As soon as the captives rushed up, the light cavalry of the Duohuorati Division scattered in a hurry, ran into the distance, and then again rushed up and shot at a distance, leaving the captives helpless.
Even if there is a part of the cavalry in the captive army, not only is the number limited, but the combat power is also worrying, and it can't resist the 50,000 cavalry ~ superb elite light cavalry.
In an hour, the 90,000 captives suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and the remaining 80,000 people finally couldn't hold on and began to disperse on a large scale!
At this moment, tens of thousands of servant troops were killed, and these servant army iron cavalry were all elite Hu iron cavalry from Mobei, and they were also equipped with a large number of sophisticated equipment, and their combat power was originally better than that of the captive army.
The speed of the servant army's iron cavalry was too fast, and the light cavalry of the Duohuorati Division, which was besieging and killing tens of thousands of captives, had no time to retreat, so they could only meet it head-on, and launched a fierce battle with tens of thousands of servants.
On the battlefield on the right flank, the armies of the servant army Iron Cavalry and the light cavalry of the Duohuo Rati Department who were hedging were constantly fighting, and the tens of thousands of captives who had been defeated were also fleeing in all directions on the battlefield, and the entire battlefield was in chaos, and the tens of thousands of routs even stirred the two iron cavalry armies that were hedging, and the formations of both sides began to loosen up, and gradually turned into a big melee!
In the middle of the Ming army, in the center of the large array of the Longxiang army, Liu Juntao constantly listened to the information sent by the night and the heralds to various battlefields.
"Qi Xian, the left-wing Shaanxi Town is in a rout, and the chief soldier of Shaanxi Town, Niu Linghe, is killed!"
"Qi Qi Bingxian, the Tiger Ben Army has rushed to the battlefield on the left flank, and is blocking the Tartar heavy armored iron cavalry army on the spot, and the two sides are fighting fiercely."
"Qi Qi Xian, the army of Tartar infantry in the middle is rushing into battle, the pressure on all departments of the Tiance Army is increasing, and the battle situation is scorching."
"Qi Xian, the 90,000 captive army on the right has collapsed, and tens of thousands of servant army iron cavalry are fighting with the 50,000 Duo Huo Ti army of iron cavalry!"
When the news came, Liu Juntao's face was frosty, especially when he heard the news that Niu Linghe, the chief military officer of Shaanxi Town, was killed, Liu Juntao was even more murderous.
The head of the military department next to him sighed to the group and said, "Shaanxi Town is finished!" ”
The defeat of the 90,000 captive army was harmless for the Ming army, originally those soldiers and horses were prisoners, and the Ming army was not of the same mind, but was forced to surrender due to the strength of the Ming army, and now it is defeated, and there is no loss of the Ming army's own combat strength.
But the soldiers and horses in Shaanxi Town are different, these soldiers are the regular army of the Ming army, a town of soldiers and horses was defeated, and the chief officer of a town was killed, which is already a big loss of troops for the Ming army!
Liu Juntao pondered for a while and said: "Tell Sun Xu, the chief soldier of Pingyang Town: Stick to the defense line and don't let the Tartar Iron Cavalry cross the Thunder Pond by half a step!" ”
"Order!"
Then, Liu Juntao said: "Order the servant army to entangle the Tartar iron cavalry army on the right flank to buy time for the decisive victory in the middle lane!" ”
"Order!"
At this time, Liu Juntao looked at the battlefield in the middle of the road, and saw that tens of thousands of Tartar foot soldiers were still storming the phalanx of various units of the Tiance Army, but in the face of the equally strong soldiers of the Tiance Army, these Tartar foot soldiers were never able to advance half a step, and the two sides were bleeding each other, just to see who couldn't hold on first!
"Order the Long Xiang army to attack, attack the Tartar infantry formation on the left side of the center, and hit the enemy army at all costs!"
After the battle so far, Liu Juntao finally decided to put the Longxiang army into the battlefield, and first concentrated the main forces of the Tiance army to win in the middle.
Soon, Bai Yuxing, the general of the left battalion of the Longxiang Army, and Tao Jixin, the general of the right battalion, led their troops to attack, and the two led their troops to bypass the middle battlefield that was fighting fiercely, interspersed with the gap between the middle battlefield and the left flank battlefield, and went straight to the army of tens of thousands of Tartar foot soldiers.
10,000 thousands of Longxiang soldiers were killed, and the army stopped at a distance of eighty steps from the Tartar infantry formation, and then the bird gunners began to shoot, and the dense lead bullets continued to wash the Tartar infantry formation, and the Tartar infantry army that was charging was suddenly chaotic, and the entire large array seemed to be hit hard by the waist, and suddenly looked weak.
"God Cannon! Put! ”
Bai Yuxing and Tao Jixin ordered almost at the same time, and dozens of divine gun trucks began to wield, and the dense rockets hissed and rushed into the army formation of the infantry army of the Duohuo Ti Division, and the hundreds of Hu soldiers on the periphery were instantly shot into hedgehogs.
"The whole army comes forward!"
Bai Yuxing roared, led the left battalion and the right battalion of the Longxiang army, which had already loaded their bayonets, to step forward, and after a three-row volley, all the soldiers let out a deafening roar and rushed towards the tens of thousands of Tartar army.
Prior to this, Tao Jixin had already turned over his horse and led more than 1,000 Longxiang soldiers with iron cavalry soldiers to charge, only to see that these more than 1,000 iron cavalry soldiers were like a huge arrow, aiming at the huge gap that the Shenji gun carriage had "smashed" just now, and slammed into it, and immediately tore a huge gap in the army of Tartar foot soldiers.
Seeing this, Bai Yuxing shouted hello, and led the soldiers of the Long Xiang Army to rush straight in, and the bayonets like a jungle continued to harvest life, killing the surrounding Tartar foot soldiers backwards.
As the battle banner of the Long Xiang Army continued to move forward, the battle situation in the middle of the battlefield immediately changed dramatically, and the battle situation that was originally in the midst of anxiety began to tilt towards the side of the Tiance Army.
Liu Juntao laughed and said to the people around him: "This victory opportunity has appeared!" ”
Then, Liu Juntao ordered the Yingyang Army, the Yue Cavalry Army, and the Zhichong Army on the middle battlefield to immediately launch a counterattack, and the whole army pressed on it, crushing the enemy's main force at all costs!
Tens of thousands of Tiance soldiers broke out completely, and all the soldiers had already killed red eyes and began to form a formation to launch a counter-charge.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
On the battlefield in the middle, the Tiance Army's sky-shaking thunder and thunder-throwing cannons continued to exert their might, and the continuous explosions sounded in the army of infantry soldiers of the Duohuo Ratti Division, and the continuous firelight almost began to spread in the Tartar formation, making the army of tens of thousands of Tartar infantry soldiers begin to stir, and even the positions of the army began to retreat continuously.
At this moment, Tao Jixin, the general of the right battalion of the Longxiang Army, led more than 1,000 iron cavalry soldiers to continue to attack, constantly interspersed in the Tartar infantry army, and soon successfully converged with the Yingyang Army, the Yue Cavalry Army, and the subordinate iron cavalry of the Zhichong Army, and nearly 4,000 elite iron cavalry soldiers successfully joined forces in the Tartar army, and in a blink of an eye, they turned into a giant dragon and began to rage.
Under the leadership of Tao Jixin, this iron cavalry army almost swept most of the Tartar array, and the soldiers of the Tiance Army followed up, Bai Yuxing also led the officers and soldiers of the Longxiang Army and the main force of the Tiance Army to successfully converge, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tiance Army directly divided the Tartar infantry into two and began to encircle and annihilate one!
In the distance, the patriarch of the Duohuorati tribe, Bayankla, had a blue face, and as a battle-hardened general, Bayankla knew very well that the battle had been lost.
Even if the two iron cavalry armies on the left flank and the right flank of the battlefield still maintain an offensive posture and occupy a lot of advantages, especially when they have just received the news that the left flank army has killed a general officer of the Ming army, this is the biggest result of the Hu people of all ethnic groups after the Ming army advanced westward.
However, with the rapid deterioration of the battlefield in the middle lane, it is no longer possible to win the entire battlefield.
Among the three battlefields, the middle battlefield is the most important, if the tens of thousands of foot soldiers in the middle battlefield are defeated, then the two iron cavalry armies on the left and right wings will then be surrounded by the main force of the Ming army in the middle, and the defeat of the entire battlefield is only a matter of time!
"Order the 40,000 troops in the rear of the middle army to withdraw first, and order the 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses in front to immediately launch a countercharge!"
The patriarch of the Duohuorati tribe, Bayankla, immediately made a decision, and was ready to sacrifice the 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses who could no longer withdraw to buy time, so that the 40,000 troops in the rear of the army could immediately withdraw and regroup.
However, as the infantry army of the Duohuo Ratti Division began to change formations, Liu Juntao also immediately ordered all units of the Tiance Army to speed up the attack, and at the same time ordered the Iron Cavalry Army of the Tiance Army, which had already joined the division, to immediately raid the retreating army of 40,000 Tartar infantry soldiers.
"Assault of the whole army!"
Tao Jixin roared, led more than 4,000 iron cavalry soldiers to start an accelerated charge, and soon rushed out of the battle formation, directly crashing into the retreating army of 40,000 Tartar foot soldiers.
At this moment, a scene that Liu Juntao and the patriarch of the Duohuorati tribe Bayankra did not expect appeared!
The 40,000 retreating infantry army of the Duohuo Rati Department was suddenly impacted, and the mighty 40,000 troops were directly impulsed by the iron cavalry army of more than 4,000 Tiance Army, and the originally orderly military formation directly began to collapse, and the 40,000 troops fled backwards all over the mountains and rushed to the rear of the Duohuo Rati Army.
Seeing this scene, the patriarch of the Duohuorati tribe, Bayankla, was dumbfounded, and the whole person looked ahead in a daze, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
Liu Juntao seized the opportunity and immediately dispatched the soldiers of the Eagle Yang Army to attack the 40,000 Tartar infantry soldiers who were dispersing, and then ordered Tao Jixin to immediately lead more than 4,000 iron cavalry soldiers to leave the battlefield and directly attack the main formation of the Tartar army.
In just a short time of incense, Tao Jixin led his troops out of the battlefield, and then killed the large array of the Chinese army of the Duohuo Ratti Division, and the patriarch of the Duo Huorati tribe Bayanke suddenly broke his heart when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered the Chinese army to retreat, and the thousands of soldiers and horses who stayed behind the Chinese army hurriedly began to retreat.
However, as the banner of the Tartar Chinese army continued to move backwards, the situation on the entire battlefield began to change dramatically, and the two Duohuo Ti Iron Cavalry on the left flank battlefield and the right flank battlefield suddenly found that their Chinese army began to retreat, and the Chinese army also began to retreat.
