Chapter 308: Battle of Jinju (3)

Above the battle array, dust shrouded in the air, swept and swirled like dark clouds in the wind. Streams of iron riders surged in the vast sea of people, like a flood flowing on all sides; A large area in the northeast was in a mess, as if it was in the middle of a busy city, and a flag erected high slowly toppled down, and knives and guns flew in all directions, and there was a scuffle.

In the middle of the rebel great circle, the speed of Shi Yanchao's troops had slowed down. According to his experience, after rushing in the enemy camp for a while, he should turn around and find an empty space to kill, anyway, the majesty has already shaken enough.

But at this time, he found that there was chaos in the rear, the enemy army had collapsed in the east, and countless soldiers of the forbidden army were chasing and killing in the chaos.

Shi Yanchao was still a little at a loss for a while: he was not besieged? It seems that there is no need to rush out, where to rush?

At this moment, from a distance, three groups of horsemen on the left flank swept in from the southwest (the left flank of the forbidden army), and in the dust, only swords and spears were waved and horses' hooves were flying. Shi Yanchao's situation at this time was quite good: there were people attacking together, and there were infantry in the retreat.

He didn't understand for a while why his battle formation of tens of thousands of troops could still be so smooth.

"Attack to the left!" Shi Yanchao didn't think much about it, and raised the spare iron gun presented by his subordinates and shouted. Then he led the heavy cavalry to take the lead, and a large force of horsemen followed, rushing to the west.

Soon the line of sight saw the Tiger Ben Army horsemen besieging an infantry phalanx, arrows flying in the air and spears like a forest.

The light cavalry of the Tiger Army was riding around the phalanx. The enemy infantry was besieged by cavalry, and the archers did not dare to come forward, but only threw indiscriminately into the air in the middle of the formation; The front was full of dense pikemen. The light cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army shot back and forth, and when they saw that there was a gap in the camp that was shot, they drew their swords and rushed forward to try to break the formation.

At this time, Shi Yanchao had already led people to kill closer, he repeated his old tricks, first used a heavy iron gun to charge and throw through the war horse, as fast as lightning violently "banged" to open a gap, and in a moment the heavy iron horse took the opportunity to rush in, and suddenly the saber was condescending to harvest straw in the speed. The heavy cavalry of the left and right soldiers also tore open the gap, and a large number of heavy cavalry rushed up, stabbing and trampling frantically.

Those foot soldiers saw the heavy horses crushed into the middle of the formation like boulders, and few of them dared to stand in front, and they all avoided and dodged, further tearing and shaking the camp.

Shi Yanchao turned to the right side, and when the war horse rushed closer, he slashed down the back of a soldier's head with a knife, and with a "bang", the soldier fell forward with a scream. A moment later, the heavy horsepaw on the right stepped straight on the soldier's back, and the sound of broken bones and deformed flesh made the scalp tingle.

"Poof!" Suddenly, a cherry spear pierced through the neck of a foot soldier holding a spear, and the spear quickly changed direction, and as the horse was sprinting, it was quickly pulled out of the man's neck, and with a flick of the spear, a large expanse of blood flew into the air.

The crowd in front of them collapsed and fled in all directions. When Shi Yanchao looked up, he saw Dong Zunyu, who was wrapped like an iron man, sitting on the back of a galloping horse, stretching his upper body and pulling the bowstring, and shooting down a person with a "snap".

"Dong Zunzhi!" Shi Yanchao shouted.

Dong Zunzhi turned his head and shouted: "The enemy horsemen in the big formation are coming, and I will fight side by side with General Shi!" ”

…… Guo Shaoce stepped forward immediately, a deafening noisy shout rang out, and smoke rose in front of him, making it impossible to see what was happening in the enemy camp. But he knew that Shi Yanchao and Dong Zunzhi's horse army had broken through the Fangyuan front from the left and right flanks; The right-wing Yang Biao Department has torn apart a large area of the opposing camp.

The battle progressed very quickly, Guo Shao couldn't wait any longer, he shouted: "The drums and trumpets are sounding in unison, the trumpets are three long and three short, and the whole army is attacking!" ”

A platoon of trumpeters in the Chinese army puffed out their cheeks, and the whimpering and vigorous trumpets sounded, and all the drums behind them "dong dong" sounded. The sound of drums is like an accompaniment to the acceleration of people, and the roaring hooves of horses are matched by the sound of horses, and a large number of horsemen flock up on both sides. The tiger flags in the middle phalanx were laid flat one after another, "Kill, kill, kill!" The swords were raised high, and the infantry slowly advanced with heavy and orderly steps.

Guo Shao led the Chinese army's personal soldiers and horse infantry reserves to follow. The large number of riders surged forward like the waves of the sea.

At this moment, suddenly a large area fell to his knees in the smoke and dust on the opposite side, and many people around him also knelt down one after another. It was as if a god had thrown a stone in the middle, and the ripples spread rapidly to the surroundings.

"Guo Dashuai is invincible!" The earth-shattering cries of "surrender ......" and "spare ......" resounded chaotically among the large area of enemy soldiers, and countless people knelt in the wilderness, and those who rode and stood there were stunned, and then those on horseback also jumped down and knelt down.

Seeing this, Guo Shao said: "Order Ma Quanyi to drive and concentrate the troops, get out of the way, and the whole army will continue to advance to the riverbank!" ”

The huge semicircle formation seemed to be cut in half, and the soldiers were asked to throw away their weapons and drive them to the middle. Countless infantry and cavalry of the forbidden army flocked to the banks of the Fenshui River.

As soon as Li Jixun's big array collapsed, the army was immediately defeated like a mountain, and the immortals couldn't stop, and the soldiers and horses in the array were in a mess and rushed to flee to the riverbank. Most of Guo Shao's troops also lost their formation in the pursuit and attack, and once the army lost its camp and wanted to regroup and regroup, it would be almost impossible for a while.

So the battlefield was out of control at this time, but the forbidden army was chasing and killing frantically, and the enemy soldiers were running around. The situation cannot be reversed.

…… The bowstrings crackled and crackled, and the chaotic hussars pursued as fast as they could, shooting at the moving deserters as they pursued. Heavy riders also swarmed behind. Most of the cavalry of the Zhou Dynasty had only one horse, and their long-distance maneuvers were slower than the infantry, but they ran fast on the battlefield, leaving the infantry far behind.

The yellow dust that permeated the dry wilderness was like a raging flame, and countless running foot soldiers seemed to be running in the fire. No one on the battlefield knows who is which group of people, they are all running around, and there are only personal soldiers left around the general, and no one can command the current army.

The ground was full of dead and wounded rebels, and the cavalry trampled over the corpses of the wounded without mercy. The contact surface of the battlefield is limited, and many soldiers have not been killed once until now, so they only have to run along. So people scrambled to catch up and kill a few people to meet the anticipation of walking thousands of miles.

Approaching the river, the scene became even more brutal, and countless soldiers and horses were squeezed to the water's edge, becoming more and more dense. Many people fell into the river and struggled in the icy biting water, some with their heads up and breathing heavily, and some were washed into the middle of the river and drowned. The soldiers in armor couldn't float, and Li Jixun was a person north of the Yellow River, most of whom couldn't do water, and countless people drowned.

There are only three pontoon bridges on the river, one of which has been overturned, and some people are clinging to the boats that built the pontoons to survive. More people looked at the pontoon bridge and couldn't squeeze through, and there were people all around.

The cavalry swept in, and the crowd panicked, and more people were squeezed into the water. Some people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but they were soon overturned and trampled by the dense crowd of their own people, and the screams and beheaving for mercy shook the sky by the river, and the mountains on the opposite bank echoed the noise here.

At this moment, suddenly a fire flashed in the north, and the rebels turned their heads to look, and the two pontoon bridges were on fire together, and no one knew how they were burned. Despair was written on everyone's faces, and some were already on their knees crying.

One of the rebels shouted, "Don't squeeze! Drop your weapons and beg for mercy! "It's already defeated, just surrender and pick up your life."

Suddenly, a group of freshly armored cavalry rushed towards the horses, and the yellow flag fluttered in the wind. Guo Shao's voice shouted: "Brothers, stop on the spot, our army has won and killed many people to no avail!" ”

Another general shouted: "The general of the Chinese army ordered, stop the slaughter, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded!" ”

The horsemen roared past, and everywhere they went, the Praetorian soldiers stopped, looking up at the flag. The rebel rebels suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted, shouting in a mess, and there was a faint amount of nonsense such as "bodhisattva's heart".

Guo Shao ran to the riverbank, looked down at a large number of defeated soldiers on the ground, and said loudly: "You are all the people of 'China', coerced and coerced by traitors, and all of them are not guilty; ”

"Xie Guo is handsome and gracious!" The crowd shouted wildly.

Guo Shao pointed his sword at the person who was still fluttering in the river: "Save people." ”

He looked up and saw a group of horsemen moving away in the mist of dust and fog in the valley on the other side of the river. Guo Shao had nothing to do, because the pontoon bridges were burned down, and he would not be able to send troops to the other side of the river for a while.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a roar of horses' hooves in the north, and the horsemen of Jinju City came out.

There were a lot of people in this battle, but it lasted less than two hours, and the sun had not yet reached mid-heaven. Guo Shao rode his horse to the north and soon saw Xiang Gong and Murong Yanzhao.

"General Xiang, General Murong." Guo Shao took the lead in greeting with his fists on the horse.

The two returned the salute together and said that they would meet Guo Dashuai, they looked at Fenshui, and said to Gong Gong: "Guo Du checked...... Finished fighting? ”

Guo Shao said: "Li Jixun's troops are vulnerable to a blow, and they will collapse in one blow. ”

Murong Yanzhao, who had a bearded face, glared and said: "Guo Du is fast in checking and using soldiers, and the general has to admire the five-body throw!" ”

Xiang Gong laughed: "I had already guessed that Guo Du would send reinforcements, but I didn't expect it to be so fast." ”

They turned over from their horses, and Guo Shao stepped forward and patted Xiang Gong's shoulder: "I don't dare not remember the kindness to General Xiang back then, how can I not save him when he dies?" ”

"It's not enough to worry about the little things!" Xiang Gong looked excited.

Guo Shao turned his head to look at Murong Yanzhao: "You have made a great contribution to defending Jinzhou with weak troops, and I will ask the Queen Mother for credit when I return to the court." ”

Murong Yanzhao hurriedly thanked him and asked, "When will Guo Du Dian leave from Tokyo?" Guo Shao said: "September 12." Murong Yanzhao was stunned: "From sending troops thousands of miles to defeating Li Jixun, it took less than half a month before and after!" ”

"Hahaha......" Guo Shao was not modest, and immediately raised his head and laughed proudly.

After the integration of the Tiger Army, Guo Shao was very satisfied, and the overall combat strength was not reduced due to the integration of the Iron Cavalry, but was sharper because of the most elite cavalry, a large number of war horses, and resources.

He suddenly felt that he was very powerful and full of self-confidence, and immediately said: "Now it's Li Chongjin's turn to take in!" ”
