Text Chapter 121 Broken Ride 1
A brand head rushed back to the main formation, presented the head of Meng He to Yu Zhilong and others to watch, and handed over his general flag and battle halberd.
Yu Zhilong was overjoyed and laughed loudly: "Strong, General Shi!" Fortunately, Jing'an Army! Order, pass this head to our three armies, and cheer for my General Shi! ”
The war drums sounded frequently, and the hearts of the officers and men of the Jing'an Army in the front were greatly boosted. Meng Qingzhi folded Meng He, shocked and mourned, looking at the battlefield in front of him, and unconsciously wept.
Meng He is not only a close branch of his relatives, but also has excellent courage and combat skills, and is a general of Meng Qing's cronies. After losing his three sons and losing his general, Meng Qing was really sad in his heart. The people next to him were also shocked, but when they saw Meng Qing mourning, they all comforted him to mourn, at this time, the fight was at a critical juncture, and the war should be the priority.
However, the blessing of Wushuang is not a single line, not long after, the scout came to report, Tang Wuwei failed to impact the thief army on the flank, and was thrown by the thief army with explosives, thistles, trap horse pits, etc., and many people and horses were damaged, and now a large number of thieves suddenly flew out of the thief camp, and they were fighting with Tang Wuwei!
What a thief still has a cavalry army here!
Meng Qing's eyes were faintly dark, he had almost done his best, and he had received the support of more than a thousand Tang Wuwei, but he still hadn't broken through the formation of the thief army, if these thief horsemen joined the battlefield, wouldn't it be their own life!
"Hurry up and tell the marshal first, please prepare him early!" After a while, a sentence came out of Meng Qing's teeth.
Li Zhenxiong was going to gather some of his subordinates, gallop close to the thief army, and shoot it with arrows, but a large group of thieves suddenly appeared behind him, biting his back and unable to get out.
Wu Side held back for a long time, and now he is like a tiger coming out of the cage, and the blade of the sword is pointed directly at Li Zhenxiong's tail. As for those Tang Wuwei's rear team, they are still entangled with Mingxiong and Ma Rulong's foot soldiers for the time being, and they can't get out for a while. Under the siege of hundreds of pikemen, even if these yuan cavalry rush out, the loss will inevitably be not small!
Before the war, in the deduction of Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi, Wu Side's department was the Jing'an army, and even the Shuntian army's backhand that could win, and it was also the most critical weight.
The mission of Wu Side's department was to completely defeat the Yuan cavalry, expand the results of the battle, and completely defeat the Meng army on the opposite side. As a result, the Jing'an army was able to cooperate with Liu Zhengfeng and others in time to flank the Yuan army.
All kinds of arrangements in the early stage were to create conditions for Wu Side's attack. Ma Rulong once quipped: "Side, whether our brains can be used again depends on your four legs!" ”
Hou Ying smiled and came over: "If you feel that there is a shortage of manpower, my brother can go and tell General Fei that I can transfer me to any hundred households!" "He's greedy for the treatment of the Cavalry, and he always wants to go in.
"Die before it's too late! There are so many foot soldiers in the training, and what is lacking now is the ministers, if you don't work hard, I'm afraid that you won't even be able to mix up with the captain in the future! Qian Zheng patted Hou Ying vigorously on the shoulder.
Above the 100 households in the Jing'an Army are school captains, and then there are 1,000 households, and there are high and low school captains, and these school captains are naturally low-level official positions.
Wu Side knew that he was shouldering a heavy burden, and it could be said that he had the strength to eat milk when he was compiling, which made Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi very satisfied. Now is the time to test the effectiveness of your training.
Li Zhenxiong briefly glanced at the battlefield, and felt that it was not appropriate to turn back and fight with these thieves at this time, and it was better to defeat the thieves' foot soldiers. While riding his horse in a roundabout way, he ordered his subordinates to move closer to him, ignoring Wu Side's troops who were temporarily chasing and intercepting them.
"Assemble, follow me!" As soon as the order was given, the general flag behind him quickly waved and drew a circle continuously, which was a signal for the follow-up people to quickly concentrate on the main general. Now there are all kinds of voices on the battlefield, and if you want to give orders loudly, it is impossible to reach the ears of every soldier.
Tang Wuwei slowly gathered into hundreds of people again in the gallop, and on the way to Li Zhenxiong's U-turn and counterattack, a layered sequence was gradually formed again. These skilled soldiers have taught Wu Side a good lesson in his future training.
"Ready, put the bow and arrow first, and then step on the thief army!" This time, Li Zhenxiong hissed wildly, getting closer and closer to the Jing'an army, and the Yuan cavalry a hundred meters away shot arrows with bows one after another, and countless arrows pierced into the array like meteors. Immediately afterwards, the Yuan Rider threw out the hand axes in the cloth bag.
Part of the shield commanded by Mu Chun was concentrated in the battle with the Meng family's army, and the other part was transferred to the front facing the Yuan cavalry, but because the number was too small, it was difficult to form an effective protection, and after two rounds of arrow rain and a round of hand axes, dozens of people were knocked down in the array. Fortunately, Yuanqi is already close at this time.
Li Zhenxiong was proud, and suddenly found that the opponent's swords and spears squatted down one after another, revealing the two columns of archers behind him!
This is a team of archers specially organized by Yu Zhilong, equipped with many improvised and simple bows, with a range of only 100 paces and a damage distance of about 50 steps, so there is no way to shoot against the Yuan cavalry. However, when the Yuan Cavalry rushes closer, it can be powerful.
"Put!" A hundred households rushed to the road.
"Hum-" The taut string of arrows suddenly loosened, and a hundred arrows flew towards the oncoming Yuan Cavalry.
"Let's go—" Another hundred households slowed down a little, and then ordered. In the back row, a hundred arrows "buzzed" and had to fly.
Just now, the Jing'an soldiers were shot down one after another, and now it's Tang Wuwei's turn!
One after another, the Yuan cavalry fell on the way to the charge, and in just sixty steps, at least forty Yuan cavalry fell off their horses with a wailing. Most of them were just wearing leather armor, and at such a close distance, the speed and accuracy of the arrows shooting at them were surprisingly fast and accurate! It's hard to dodge and block them all.
Yu Zhilong once said: When a soldier first learns archery, it is inevitable that his accuracy is not good, as long as the number of arrows is large enough in a short period of time, relying on the density of firepower can still have a killing effect.
Li Zhenxiong was lucky to have a layer of iron armor on top of the leather armor, and a layer of iron skirt on the outside of the war horse, although he was shot with more than a dozen arrows, most of them were flying, and two of them were already weak after penetrating the armor, and they could hardly hurt him.
After the archers fired three rounds of arrows, the Yuan cavalry was already close and had to quickly retreat to the Zhilong banner to stand by. The Jing'an sergeants in the first few columns stood up to greet them.
Almost a copy of Wan Jinhai's flank, a large number of Jing'an army foot soldiers were rushed and flew, and the Yuan soldiers and Jing'an soldiers fell in the tragic fight. However, because the commanders at all levels of the Jing'an Army are sound, and the soldiers have more or less received infantry and cavalry drills, although the battle is bloody, many soldiers can still support it, and although the formation is chaotic, it has not collapsed! But the Yuan Cavalry paid a lot of losses on the way to the charge.
Looking at the Yuan cavalry who came out of the formation in twos and threes, Sun Xing nervously held the handle of the knife and looked at Yu Zhilong.
This place is too close to the front formation, less than a hundred steps, and the Yuan Cavalry will soon be able to discover the main general of the Jing'an Army here.
"What, are you scared?" Yu Zhilong glanced at Sun Xing with slanted eyes and asked casually.
"The last general is not afraid of the Tartars, but he is worried that General Fei will be injured by the enemy." Sun Xing raised his neck and said loudly, "The safety of the general alone is related to the life and death of thousands of soldiers in our department. ”
"Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why bother to return the body of the horse leather. We have already decided to fight to the death against the Tartars for the people of the Han family, and this life has long been put aside by me. Since ancient times, the battle of national fortune has killed and injured millions. The general died in a hundred battles, how many people can return! Today, I am fortunate to be on this battlefield with all of you, and I am even very lucky. My personal life and death are not a pity, if unfortunately die here, it is also my wish, I hope that the people who survived after the war will remember my words, and do our will, and have knowledge in a certain underground, and the wish is enough! ”
Yu Zhilong stared at the tense battle situation in front and on the flanks, and said slowly word by word.
When Sun Xing and the others heard this, they couldn't help but feel excited, and they all bowed in front of Yu Zhilong's horse, and wept: "The general is not afraid of death, and his subordinates dare to fall behind?" We will swear to follow General Fei to the death, and we will not be willing to give up if we do not destroy the Tartars! ”
Seeing that Mu Chun, Zhao Shi and other troops had alleviated the crisis ahead, Yu Zhilong ordered: Zhao Shi himself retreated here to preside over the defense of the Jing'an army.
Zhao Shi didn't know why, so he hurriedly turned back with his personal guards, and when he went, there were still more than ten people in his personal guards, and only six or seven people came back.
Seeing Zhao Shi's abdomen bleeding, Yu Zhilong was shocked, dismounted and picked up his armor to carefully examine the wound, only to see a palm-long gap from the ribs to the chest, almost deep bones. The intestines were almost cut out by the enemy generals.
Zhao Shi simply tore his shirt and bandaged it, and continued to fight. The blood has dyed the clothes by this time.
"How could Brother Shi be so reckless, and his injuries were so serious, that he couldn't come down for treatment?" Yu Zhilong said anxiously, "Hurry up and pass on Langzhong!" ”
Zhao Shi laughed: "Kill happily today!" What do you do when you come back? I don't know why the general passed on so-and-so here? ”
Yu Zhilong pointed to the flank, where the Yuan cavalry was gradually killing through the infantry formation, and began to gallop sideways, fighting with the infantry on the platoon. "I intend to personally lead the remaining cavalry to defeat this fang, and ask Brother Shi to sit here and plan for me!"
As soon as Yu Zhilong's words came out, Zhao Shi, Sun Xing and others were shocked, and they all advised: "The soldiers everywhere in our department are all serving the dead, why is General Fei like this?" Just wait a moment and you'll be in for a good turn! And the general is the backbone of the Jing'an army, if there is a mistake, it will not be because of a small loss! ”
Zhao Shi hurriedly stopped: "Why do you need a general to go out in this matter, a certain talent, I am willing to go in person!" ”
"Brother Shi, don't be impatient, since you have been injured, you should be here for me. Now that all units of the Shuntian Army have reached a life-and-death crisis, if the Jing'an Army cannot break through the enemy in front of it as soon as possible and support the army, it is difficult to predict the results of today's battle. Yu Zhilong disagreed, "Shicai has received the battle report, the Chinese army has begun to meet the enemy, the right flank has shown decline, the situation is urgent, and our department cannot help but win a decisive victory here as soon as possible!" ”
At this time, the battle reports of the rest of the Shuntian Army had already been transmitted, and Yu Zhilong briefly said to Zhao Shi, ordering him to stick to his own position and encourage the morale of the army. Zhao Shi insisted on attacking on his behalf several times, but Yu Zhilong did not allow it.
The rout of the right-wing Wan and Qin troops was so fast, largely out of Zhilong and Zhao Shi's expectations. I thought that even if I couldn't win, I would at least be able to hold on for a while. Once the right flank is defeated, the Suncheon army really has no reason to win.
"Brother Shi, I will personally lead the cavalry team to fight with the Yuan cavalry on the flank, and then go straight to the rear of the Yuan army, destroy the stone cannons in the rear, and respond to the Shuntian King! As long as the enemy army is defeated and retreats, there is hope for success in this battle! ”
"The general is going, be careful, if things are not harmonious, retreat quickly! After all, we still have a city to defend. Zhao Shi sighed, this was the last step in the plan.
"Brother Shi, don't worry, I volunteered unpaid, how can I give up easily? If the timing is wrong, you will be careful. ”
Zhao Shi was helpless and accepted the order.
Just now, Tang Wuwei charged for the first time, and dozens of war horses left behind on the battlefield were collected by the soldiers of the rear team of the Jing'an Army, and they were all concentrated here at this time. Yu Zhilong did his best to guard, took a team of sharp soldiers, turned over his horse, and went to join Wu Side and meet Li Zhenxiong.
