Text Chapter 126 Vertical and Horizontal 4
Liu Qi sat on the horse at this time, staring at Yu Shichang and Liu Zhengfeng in front of him, his heart pounding. The two wings were also killing at this time, and it was conceivable that they were fighting bloodily.
Although he has been a Kou for many years, it is the first time he has seen such a bloody battle. Not only Liu Qi's face was ugly, but several henchmen such as Bai Qiu and Fat Toutuo gathered around Liu Qi, and their faces were also pale.
They saw clearly in the back, every time the stone flew down in the air, there would be soldiers killed or injured, and even one smashed on Liu Zhengfeng's side, a soldier's brain burst on the spot, the stone remained undiminished, continued to jump, rolled to the rear, and knocked down two or three people before it stopped.
If it deviates a little further, Liu Zhengfeng will be killed!
As for the rain of arrows flying down in waves, the shield shot sounded, even if Liu Qi and the others were hundreds of meters away, they could feel the terrifying sound of arrows entering the shield. In the later period, the fire roared, and in a cloud of smoke, there were many Shuntian soldiers who fell.
I am afraid that there were more than 200 dead and wounded soldiers along the way.
If you ask yourself, Liu Qi can't do what Liu Zhengfeng and Yu Shichang are not afraid of life and death.
Don't look at every time Liu Qi and others compete for floating wealth, divide women, and make the most trouble, but there is no other person's toughness on the battlefield. Maybe it's really true to the old saying, the richer you are, the more afraid you are of death!
Liu Qi has more than three, more silver, more women, and more brothers. During the Yuhai period, in addition to Yu Hai's department, Liu Qi had the most men and horses and the most adequate supplies. Of course, this has a lot to do with the ruthlessness of their gang, every time they rob floating money, almost every time they leave, the rooms are empty, and the chickens and dogs are not left.
However, there are many people and horses, not necessarily strong combat effectiveness, especially when thinking about which packages in the silver two, the soldiers of the department are often brave and fearless when fighting a good battle, rushing to the front line, once they encounter hard stubble, they are often patrolling behind.
Liu Zhengfeng put him in the back this time, and he also understood that this person couldn't fight a tough battle, and putting him in front would only be bad.
When Wan Jinhai and others were in a hurry, Liu Qi naturally transferred Xia Houen over, leaving only himself to look behind the formation.
"Big brother, this battle is so bad, can we have a chance of winning?" Bai Qiu asked in a low voice.
"Yes, big brother, it seems that this situation is not good! Now it's just us, if we can't stand it in frontβ" Fat Tou said.
The first few cronies were also distracted. At this time, the dust on both wings was flying, and the shouts of killing were clearly audible, and the fool also knew that the Yuan army was attacking in a big way. Not only do these people have little confidence in themselves, but they also have in the other people who are fighting.
A few days ago, they swore a lot of lofty ambitions, but now they saw that the Yuan army was strong and strong, the offensive was menacing, Liu Zhengfeng's troops were losing troops all the way, and Wan Jinhai and others were constantly asking for help, and they couldn't help but start to be timid in their hearts. If it weren't for the good news that Yu Zhilong had captured the flag and resisted Tang Wuwei, several cronies would have begun to retreat.
Liu Qi was conflicted in his heart, looking at the left and right and the front, there was a sound of killing everywhere, if this situation continued like this, he would have to play. Just now, Liu Zhengfeng once again ordered that this battle could not be retreated, and all departments must go all out to move forward in order to have a glimmer of life. Liu Qi must quickly follow him and join the battle against Ye Xian as soon as possible.
"Let's take a look at the situation on the wings, and if there is any change, report it quickly!" Liu Qi commanded left and right.
Liu Qi's family assets are all in the city, and now he has tied the most valuable things to the cart, he has made up his mind, in case the war situation is unfavorable, immediately return to the city and take these belongings out of the city, or go south, or west, if it is really not possible, he will enter the mountains again as a bandit.
"Big brother, we have a family and a business, and we can't compare to these singles! Besides, Yu Zhilong was scheming, and he hid so many people in private from everyone, just afraid of bad intentions. If it weren't for the Tartar coming over this time, there's no guarantee he wouldn't have thought about it! Bai Qiu couldn't forget the humiliation he had suffered in Tian Lie's house, and from time to time he said some bad things about Yu Zhilong in Liu Qi's ear.
Liu Qi nodded and looked at the left flank, where the flags were chaotic and noisy, and the messenger had reported that Yu Zhilong personally led the Jing'an army cavalry to fight against Tang Wuwei, and so far there has been no victory.
"Let's see how the battle develops, tell the brethren to cheer up and beware of the Tartar cavalry outflanking!" In the final analysis, Liu Qi was still worried that the Yuan cavalry would suddenly appear on his flanks or in the back, in case he was blocked on the battlefield by the Yuan army, and he would not be able to retreat at that time, but he wanted to cry without tears!
Liu Qi and the others were in their hearts, and Yu Shichang shouted at this time, and pounced on the Yuan army on the opposite side first.
They finally began to meet the enemy, the Yuan army on the opposite side was in a strict formation, under the order of officers at all levels, they raised their spears diagonally, stepped forward in unison, drank one step at a time, two steps at a time, hundreds of spears stood in a forest, the tips of the spears were like frost, and the red tassels were like blood!
After these layers of Yuan army, more than a dozen steps away, there are hundreds of Yuan troops ready to go!
He also stared at the front army first, and no longer cared about the changes in the rear formation. With hundreds of archers and firecrackers, plus the Ministry of Letters, even idiots can stand there and resist a few pillars of incense!
Moreover, he had urgently ordered Tang Wuwei on the left flank to immediately come back to help, and when the time came, it would be good if these hundreds of thieves could escape from a small half.
However, Gu Kai looked back from time to time, looking around uncertainly. Seeing that Gu Kai was so uncalm, he was even more disdainful in his heart.
What Ling Yexian didn't expect was his archers and firecracker team, and the Ministry of Letters and Letters did not stop Yu Zhilong, who was the "forward" of the rout!
As for the Tang Wuwei on the left flank, when he received the order to retreat, there were many soldiers with sharpened wooden ends pouring out of the thief army, and they were lined up on the road of the Yuan cavalry charging with simple wooden guns, compressing the space for the Yuan cavalry to move, after all, there was a large quagmire in the distance, and the Yuan cavalry had to take the old road if they wanted to return to the aid as soon as possible!
These improvised spearmen of the Wan, Qin, and Xiahou divisions more or less slowed down the speed of Tang Wuwei's reinforcements, and some of the Yuan cavalry were unaware for a while, and were actually stabbed off their horses with random guns, and then were struck and killed by the Shuntian army.
Of the 1,000 Tang Wuwei who had originally divided their troops to the left flank, only half of them were able to return safely!
After breaking several Yuan troops in a row, Yu Zhilong gathered the crowd again, to see that there were more than two hundred, at this time everyone had blood on their bodies, after a pursuit and slashing, although the people and horses were a little panting, but the momentum was quite sufficient, and they could still fight.
They fought with Tang Wuwei several times before, and then drove the Yuan soldiers to rout in succession, and successively defeated the archers, the fire gun team and the Dianxin Department, and the Yuan soldiers and generals killed along the way were no less than 400 people, and now the men and horses were weak, so they had to dismount for a while.
Everyone gasped for breath and dismounted and barely moved their hands and feet. Some of them were so tired that they simply sat on the ground, unable to get up for the time being. Not only are the soldiers sweating, but even the war horses are foaming at the mouth!
Yu Zhilong Wangwang was also the first, hundreds of defeated soldiers had already lost their armor and rushed there, and at this time, they also found that the rear formation had collapsed, and they were urgently mobilizing left and right, preparing to organize the defense line again.
The distance here is only two hundred steps, Yu Zhilong and others have faintly heard the shouts of Liu Zhengfeng's troops to fight the enemy, the original front of the Yuan army is quite heavy, after Yu Zhilong's rush to kill, attracting a large number of Yuan soldiers, directly causing the pressure on Yu Shichang and others to be greatly reduced!
The timing waited for no one, Yu Zhilong felt that his throat and eyes were dry, big drops of sweat were flowing down from his forehead and temples, and his clothes were almost soaked, clinging to his body. He looked at the soldiers around him, and everyone was the same.
You can't stay here for long, and the figure of Tang Wuwei who came to support can already be seen in the distance on both sides. Although he divided his troops first, it seemed that Liu Zhengfeng was still under a lot of pressure, and he had to come up with an idea quickly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have crushed the rear of the Yuan army, destroyed the artillery team, and routed the rear of the enemy, and now, King Shuntian and others are fighting a bloody battle with the enemy and urgently need reinforcements! I intend to attack under the banner of the main general of the Yuan army, if I can kill and injure its main general, I will be able to shake the heart of the Yuan army, and today's victory or defeat is in one fell swoop! It's just that this battle is dangerous, life and death are unpredictable, I don't know if you are willing to fight with me? Yu Zhilong said hoarsely, "If you don't want to go, you can also form a team by yourself, rush back to the left flank of our army, and support General Zhao Shi, which is also a credit, and I will never pursue it!" β
After hearing this, the soldiers couldn't help but look at each other on the ground, which was also bold for Yu Zhilong! The lone army went deep behind the enemy, and successively broke countless enemies, and now the people are tired and tired, and they have to take the main general of the Yuan army!
"The subordinates are willing to follow the general, life and death together!" Wu Side and Sun Xing came out of the ranks, knelt down on their knees, and solemnly clasped their fists at Yu Zhilong, saying word by word.
"I wish to live and die with the general!" There are dozens of old soldiers who have come out and knelt down one after another, and on the battlefield, hot-blooded men are the most easily motivated.
Seeing this scene, the remaining hundreds of soldiers finally made up their minds, knelt down together and saluted: "I am willing to follow the general and live and die together!" β
Yu Zhilong was overjoyed, helped everyone up one by one, and laughed loudly: "I have all the brothers If this is the case, why worry about the big thing!" He thought for a while and said: "The Yuan army in front is all foot soldiers, and it is not as fast as our army, so it will not dare to take the initiative to meet the battle, and the rout of the army will inevitably make the rest of the enemy army timid. β
"The cavalry is the pillar of the Jing'an army, my lord has an order, and I, Wu Side, am willing to be the forerunner! Today is the battle for the fame of our cavalry! Please also ask the general to look at it from the back. Wu Side kowtowed heavily, tidied up his clothes and armor, tied it tightly, picked up a spear on the ground, and turned over on his horse. His knife had already cut many gaps, and he should not use it, but simply discarded it.
Wu Side had the idea of being a striker, but Yu Zhilong still decided to keep pace with him, before the war of the three armies, the anger could not be vented, the generals are now willing to live and die with themselves, the road ahead is treacherous, Yu Zhilong of course does not want to be the queen.
Everyone was enthusiastic, and after a simple tidying, they got on the horse, slightly increased the speed of the horse, and went straight to the banner first.
At this time, Yu Shichang's department had already begun to contact and fight with his front, and the two sides were in full swing. I also thought that the morale of the other party under his continuous blows would be greatly affected, even if there was no rout, at least the army's disarray was indispensable, but Yu Shichang and others came all the way with casualties, and once the two armies clashed, they immediately killed like crazy.
Yidu Road underestimated the courage of the Shuntian soldiers to fight to the death for the sake of their families' lives!
Finally received the enemy, the surviving soldiers of the Shuntian Army vented the anger and hatred in their hearts to the opponent in front of them, Liu Zhengfeng and other generals knew that they must take advantage of this precious opportunity to break through the defense of the Yuan army as soon as possible, otherwise if the Yuan cavalry outflanked from both wings, they were flanked in front and back, and the Chinese army would collapse!
They didn't know that the Tang Wuwei on both flanks had withdrawn.
"Go and urge Liu Qi again, let them hurry up and come over to help!" Liu Zhengfeng saw that it was difficult to break through the forward line, so he went back to urge Liu Qi.
