Chapter 439: The Battle of Quarrying (8)
"Bang!" Yao Erniu was wearing dozens of catties of iron armor and fell heavily to the ground, the Venus flashed in front of him, the scene had become blurry, and a sharp pain hit him. He lay on the ground, trying to figure out what was going on around him, only to see the shadows of the centaurs swaying and his ears buzzing.
The body was painful and soft, and I couldn't exert any strength. "Ahh A hissing and lung-splitting shout startled Yao Erniu, and he followed the sound to see that a Nan** soldier was curled up on the ground. Yao Erniu was shocked to find that the man was holding a ball of intestines! There was blood on the ground, but the man was not dead, he was trampled on his calf by the horse's hooves just now, and screamed miserably, and then cried out in pain: "Mother, ......"
Yao Erniu's sense of touch suddenly returned. He felt the sand from the horse's hooves, splashing on his face with the strong wind. His scalp tingled, and he struggled with the strength out of nowhere.
"Go away!" A voice shouted, and Yao Erniu was immediately pushed by two companions who also had no horses. His helmet was gone, his hair was in a loose bun, and his cape was like that of a refugee.
A group of chaotic Southern Tang foot soldiers on the side, one of the foot soldiers shouted in a frightened and panicked voice, picked up a spear and rushed towards Yao Erniu. Yao Erniu's hands were empty, the saber was gone, and the spear had been stabbed in the chest, so he grabbed one and grabbed the barrel of the gun, but it was too late, and the head of the spear "clanged" on the breastplate. Yao Erniu felt a pain in his chest, and the plate armor was stunned that it was not pierced! The power of the spear has been used up, Yao Erniu is afraid that he will be stabbed a second time if he doesn't fight back, he stretched out his hand and touched the back of his shoulder, and there was still a short throwing gun on his back.
Yao Erniu grabbed the throwing gun and pounced, screamed "Ahhhh The soldier was also very agile, and he threw away his spear and hugged Yao Erniu's wrist with both hands. Yao Erniu's legs were very painful, and he was unstable and stumbled and pounced on the man. But he was not the opponent of this Southern Tang soldier, he had no strength in his body just after a fall, and his shoulders were even weaker and sore, but he was overturned by that guy; The throwing gun he was holding was held and slowly pressed down on his face!
Yao Erniu's strength to eat milk has been used! But the guy pressed the weight of his body, Yao Erniu couldn't stand it, his eyes were round, tears and snot spurted out together, and he couldn't say a word.
At this moment, his face suddenly became hot, and his face was bloody, and he saw an arrow piercing out of the throat of the person on his body, and even the flesh that was pulled out could be seen clearly. The "coo-......" force disappeared immediately, and the man fell to the ground with one hand on his throat, his limbs scratching and kicking on the muddy ground.
"Ahh Yao Erniu got up from the ground and yelled like crazy, but no one paid attention to him.
At this time, a tall general with an elite horse step was sweeping from behind the Southern Tang Infantry Formation, and the branch just now was shot from that side. That fine horseman is skillful, sharp with swords and guns, and no one can stop the ghost crying god everywhere he goes, rushing left and right like a violent wind! The large flank of the south ** was attacked by the enemy in the abdomen and collapsed in an instant.
…… The tall and fierce man is Shi Yanchao, and after defeating this formation with the friendly forces on the flank, he immediately led the army to attack the southern ** Chinese army.
The tall banner of the Chinese army in the south was fluttering in the air, and a group of horsemen raised their swords and guns to prepare for battle. At this time, he suddenly saw a general on the right side scolding angrily, and led the army straight to Shi Yanchao's right flank.
Shi Yanchao raised the iron spear and pointed to the right, shouting, and the pro-soldiers turned their horses' heads to attack sideways. Shi Yanchao took the lead in throwing the iron gun in his hand at the round-headed man, and everyone also threw the spear forward. As soon as the "ding-ding-box" sounded, several people fell on the opposite side, but the round-headed man turned on all the throwing guns thrown at him.
"Huh!" Shi Yanchao was not afraid, but was interested, and rushed to kill the general. The forwards of the two sides rushed to kill for a few rounds, and Shi Yanchao rushed to kill a few cavalrymen, but failed to kill the general. The general barely supported Shi Yanchao's onslaught, and most of the soldiers around him lost most of them, so he turned around and ran, and shot an arrow with his bow halfway.
But Shi Yanchao did not pursue, turned around and went straight to the South ** Central Army. The third army soldiers and horses in the back also came in a surge, and the military order they got before the war was to respond to Shi Yanchao's onslaught. Not long after, the South ** Chinese army was in chaos, and the banner staggered and fell to the ground.
The southern Shu army is also attacking with a backhand, and a large part of the southern ** camp has collapsed, and the defeat can no longer be stopped.
…… The wilderness at the foot of the Great Yellow Mountain is very large, but the battlefield is only limited to a small area. Thirty or forty thousand horses are rushing and boiling here. The chaotic battlefield was like a flood of debris, and the noise resounded loudly between heaven and earth, and could be heard from afar.
Nan** was besieged by twice the superior forces, among which the most elite men and horses of the Great Zhou army suddenly attacked, and the troops were crushed like a mountain, and even the gods could no longer gather them. By the end of the night, Lin Renzhao, the southern ** striker, no longer existed, and the most people surrendered, and the second dozen miles were chased by the cover of the dead people, some of them scattered and escaped, and it was impossible for this force to recover its strength.
The commander of the Tiger Ben Army made the above generals rush back to the Chinese army one after another and go to the largest Tiger Fang Banner. At this moment, a crowd in one place shouted, "Win! Victory ......" Then the soldiers on the entire battlefield shouted, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Guo Shaowei was not in the Chinese army, and he was riding back from the chaos everywhere. This southern ** is very powerful, but the situation it faces is a little worse; Only the Third Army and the Crane Control Army, the Horse Army, and those who rushed straight to the front suffered casualties.
The generals congratulated one after another. Guo Shao reviewed the battlefield and said: "This time it was quickly won, and the battle of quarrying has been won ninety percent!" Although there were 40,000 or 50,000 people in Huangfu Jixun, he missed the opportunity, and no matter how many people there were, they could not play a key role in this campaign. ”
Zhang Jiankui laughed and said: "Let's fortunately fight with Guo Dashuai, if we are in Nan** Middle School, but we will be unlucky!" ”
Guo Shao turned his head and glanced at the corpses that were being cleaned up in the distance, as well as the embarrassed wounded soldiers who were holding him, and he was noncommittal at the moment. He said: "In order for the generals not to make mistakes, at least some casualties can be reduced." Lin Renzhao didn't make any mistakes, and it was difficult for anyone to do better in his position...... That's it! There is still one last step left in this battle, so you will boost your morale, gather your troops and horses before noon tomorrow, and clean up the emperor's succession in one go. ”
Guo Shao breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
Gao Yanyu and others rode towards this side, and when Guo Shao turned his head sideways, he hugged his fists and said loudly when he saw him far away: "Fortunately, Guo Dashuai rescued in time!" ”
Guo Shao waited for him to approach and praised in public: "The facts are in front of me, I didn't mistake General Gao's character." Lin Renzhao's group of men and horses will be brave and sharp, which can be called elite; In order not to reveal their whereabouts, our army rushed to 21 miles, which took a lot of time, and General Gao withstood the offensive before this, and his achievements cannot be questioned! ”
When Gao Yanyu heard these words with a clear attitude, the look on his face completely showed his excitement.
Guo Shao glanced at him, and then said what Gao Yanyu wanted to hear the most: "General Gao has proved the loyalty and courage of the Jiannan Army with his military exploits, established his position in the imperial court, and will not distinguish between him and the Great Zhou Forbidden Army in the future; Whoever dares to question General Gao's loyalty is to provoke infighting with ill intentions. ”
Gao Yan hurriedly saluted: "Quan Nai Guo Marshal rescued in time, and the last general will not dare to take credit." ”
Guo Shao also rewarded the commander who rushed to the front and achieved the results of the battle, and everyone knew that these things would be used as evidence for meritorious deeds in the future...... Refer to the experience of the Battle of Shu.
From the beginning of the day, the troops and horses were reorganized and the scattered people were reorganized into an army.
……
Huangfu Jixun learned in the morning that a large number of enemy soldiers suddenly appeared on the Shipo Mountain southeast of the quarry, and there were many flags in the mountains and forests.
He then temporarily sent scouts to Shipo Mountain to investigate the truth, but the scouts did not ambush on the mountain road, and Huangfu Jixun was even more afraid. A general said that the enemy soldiers who had already been discovered rushed to the east of Lin Renzhao's troops; Lin Renzhao's troops are in crisis, and they are too late to rescue, so they should immediately attack the quarry ferry, where the troops are relatively empty, to save the defeat.
Huangfu Jixun was afraid that he would be attacked by the flank after the fight, so he still stood still. By the end of the night, he knew that Lin Renzhao had been defeated.
At this time, he realized that the enemy soldiers facing Fu Lin Renzhao in the east would return to besiege him, and he had already begun to retreat. But the timing was a little short, and the next afternoon, Zhou's horse team was already miles behind him! The speed of maneuvering left him dumbfounded.
The main force of more than 40,000 troops in the south could not advance or retreat, and Huangfu Jixun wanted to divide the palace and gave up attacking the quarry ferry, and the main force broke through the abdomen and retreated from the Zhou army and horse barracks. After a night, when he was deployed to start the action, he suddenly found that the Shu army on the east side was also moving closer to the middle.
The main force of the south ** faced the river and was besieged on three sides. Huangfu Jixun sometimes wants to break through, but the direction of the breakthrough is uncertain; Sometimes they want to concentrate their forces on a decisive battle with a large army. There was no way to defend the battle, the generals were at a loss and chaotic, and the number of horse troops on the north road of the Zhou army was thin but unstoppable, breaking through the periphery of the southern ** camp; The main general, Huangfu Jixun, saw that the advance of the Zhou army was unstoppable, regardless of the large number of reserve troops around, and fled from the Chinese army in a hurry, and more than 40,000 people fell into a state of paralysis of the military order for a while, and all the troops were defeated in just one day!
The Zhou army was surrounded by three roads, but the number of people was not as large as that of Huangfu Jixun. After the defeat of the south, a large number of people broke out, but after losing the camp, they could not confront the Zhou army's horsemen, and on the way to escape, they were pressed by the cavalry to cover their backs, and often thousands of chaotic infantry could not resist the charge of a hundred cavalry; A large number of infantry could stab the pursuing horsemen to death as long as they surrounded them, but no one wanted to return to fight to the death, and the soldiers were all desperate to flee for their lives. Those who surrendered are difficult to calculate, and dozens of miles are full of wounded soldiers and corpses.
The battle of quarrying, Nan** came violently, but it ended in absurdity and bleakness. Huangfu Jixun fled to Jiangning Mansion almost alone, and his remaining large number of rebellious soldiers had been left behind by him.
