Chapter 266: The Battle of the Trapped Beasts
After Lan Ziyi and Li Guangzhong brought these three hundred soldiers converged, they finally had the strength to protect themselves, and the group rode their horses to the side of the formation, and along the way they also gathered a lot of stragglers from the Jihu battalion who had just scattered and fled, and when they returned to the formation, Lan Ziyi and they actually had a team of nearly 1,000 people.
After Lan Ziyi led the team back to the battle, it didn't buy enough time for Qi Rongxun back and forth, and the main force of the infantry led by Qi Rongxun was still a mess.
Originally, Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun's plan was for Lan Ziyi to block the thieves in the back and prevent the thieves from landing on the shore.
But now Lan Ziyi just ran to the back and missed his head and was wiped out by the thieves, and now the thieves are going down the river and directly threatening the main force of the infantry led by Qi Rongxun.
The two thief phalanxes that were fighting with Qi Rongxun when Lan Ziyi left just now were already on the verge of collapse, but now that Lan Ziyi rode his horse back, the two thief phalanxes were still fighting with Qi Rongxun, and the morale was quite high, which could almost be described as desperate for death.
According to the plan, Qi Rongxun should have let go of these two bandits in exchange for time to regroup, but now the two armies are still fighting, and the back road of the thieves has been released by the official army.
According to the ratio of the two armies that are now fighting, if the thieves do not send reinforcements, and the thieves really have no intention of sending reinforcements, the two small formations of thieves who are now fighting will definitely be wiped out, but the elimination of these two phalanxes of thieves will not bring any help to the situation, because time is not on the side of the officers and soldiers, the officers and infantry are still in a mess, but the ships of the thieves have moved to the river on their right flank.
Lan Ziyi frowned at the bad situation in front of him, he didn't want to see Qi Rongxun again, because if it weren't for him Lan Ziyi being wiped out by thieves in the back, Qi Rongxun would not have fallen into such a dangerous situation.
Tao Zhuhu did not observe Lan Ziyi's mood fluctuations, he leaned over to Lan Ziyi and said:
"With the current situation of our cavalry, even if we join Qi Rongxun's array, it will not help, but it is the infantry cavalry that fights together to make people have a headache, in my opinion, we should detour behind the thieves, and after impacting the thieves' formation before the thieves' reinforcements land on the water, cooperate with Qi Rongxun, and there is a chance of winning from both sides."
Li Guangzhong nodded in agreement:
"Wei Hou, I agree with Da Lang's opinion, now our cavalry is the only force that can move quickly in the whole army, this is the strange that the art of war says, only by making good use of this strange can we defeat the enemy."
Lan Ziyi's thoughts were pulled back by the two of them again, and the grim form forced him to have no time to think about all kinds of troubles caused by failure, but before returning to his senses, he remembered Wei Qionglou's depressed appearance when Dangyang won a miserable victory, and Lan Ziyi at that time really didn't have a backache when he stood and talked.
Lan Ziyi looked ahead with the reins, did not look back, he said:
"Big brother is right, we have to raid the thief formation from behind, no matter how bad it is, we have to raid the flank of the thief formation, and it is the next strategy to attack from the front.
But there is one more thing to add to the eldest brother's arrangement. β
Tao Zhuhu asked:
"What does the young master think is missing?"
ε °εδΉ says:
"But the artillery of the Divine Machine Battalion."
Tao Zhuhu and Li Guangzhong changed their eyes when they heard this, and Li Guangzhong asked:
"Is Wei Hou trying to make the Shenji Battalion open fire at the same time as the raid? This is too dangerous, if Wei Hou launches a surprise attack from the back of the thief array, he will charge towards the muzzle of the Shenji Battalion, and at this time, the cannon will be injured by mistake. β
ε °εδΉ says:
"Qi Rongxun is very skilled in the firearms of his subordinates, he knows where he can hit with a bombardment, as long as he calculates the distance of our impact in advance, he can avoid accidental injury.
And now there is not much time left for us, so many infantry brothers under Qi Rongxun are still in the melee, how easy is it to reorganize? Since it was impossible to reorganize, the Shenji Battalion would not be able to organize a dense salvo, and it would be difficult for one or two guns to have any impact on the thieves by sporadic firing.
Besides, our Northern Army also practiced tiger squat artillery to fight with cavalry when acting, which is feasible, right, big brother? β
Saying that, Lan Ziyi looked back at Tao Zhuhu,
Tao Zhuhu touched his chin and thought about it, nodded to Lan Ziyi, and said:
"That's all there is to it."
Lan Ziyi received an affirmative reply, nodded at this peach chasing tiger, and then ordered:
"All the sergeants come with me!"
Li Guangzhong saw that Lan Ziyi had made up his mind, and there was no possibility for him to change it, so he had to follow Lan Ziyi to turn the horse's head, but Li Guangzhong was still unwilling to mutter:
"But we're not the Northern Army."
Lan Ziyi heard Li Guangzhong's complaints, but Lan Ziyi did not pursue them, the battle situation was unfavorable, and it was understandable to complain.
Tao Zhuhu followed Lan Ziyi to rein in the horse and ordered to the soldiers behind him:
"You! Go to Qi Hou to report the news. β
At this time, Lan Ziyi turned around and said to Tao Zhuhu:
"Big brother, don't find someone else to do it for you, I want you to go to Qi Hou to communicate in person."
Tao Zhuhu asked:
"But what will Wei Hou do after I'm gone?"
Lan Ziyi replied:
"I have so many brothers here and General Li here, it will be fine,
On the contrary, the situation is now worrying, and it is difficult to protect the morale of the army, what if the brothers who are fighting hard there see that I am leading the cavalry away from them, and the morale of the army is scattered? You have to let someone with weight go over, and now that the second brother and the third brother are not here, you have to go with the eldest brother! β
Tao Zhuhu thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case, so he turned his horse head to Qi Rongxun's side, and at the same time did not forget to tease Lan Ziyi
"Young master, don't lie to me to send me to death, I will lead someone to run away first."
Lan Ziyi looked at Tao Zhuhu, his eyes were firm and sincere, and he said:
"My brothers and I don't want to be born on the same day, the same month, the same year, but we want to die on the same day, the same month, the same year, if you want to go to Huangquan, I will definitely be indispensable."
Tao Zhuhu listened to the laughter of "Ha", galloped away in the middle of the horse formation, and shouted to Li Guangzhong and them before leaving:
"Guard, good young master! We'll see you soon! β
Li Guangzhong clenched his fists and said:
"Don't worry!"
Watching Tao Zhuhu turn around, Lan Ziyi and Li Guangzhong also rode their horses and led the team to the right flank of the thief.
It didn't take long for Lan Ziyi to leave, and the boats on the river opened fire here, and this time they shot at the main force of the infantry of the officers and soldiers who were fighting on the shore
+++++++++++++++
Qi Rongxun is commanding the soldiers to fight with the thieves in the formation, such a one-sided battle is meaningless, and it wastes the precious time that Qi Rongxun urgently needs, but Qi Rongxun has no choice, these thieves in front of him are determined to die, so they can only annihilate them all,
Qi Rongxun heard the sound of Lan Ziyi and the thieves fighting behind him just now, and as soon as Qi Rongxun turned around, he saw the skyrocketing fire, and at a glance, Qi Rongxun knew that Lan Ziyi and his Jihu camp were over.
The form is very grim, although Qi Rongxun doesn't have to worry about his back for the time being, but without the Jihu Battalion, the officers and soldiers have no flanks, and the thieves can attack Qi Rongxun in all the ways they want compared with the strength of the official army and the thieves, and now there are thieves and sailors on the river, Qi Rongxun judged that the thieves should land directly from his right flank to attack,
Looking at the soldiers next to him, Qi Rongxun's heart was even more cold, except for the Shenji Battalion, which had been assembled after being replaced just now, the other soldiers were still fighting in the dogger's melee, and their morale was declining at a speed visible to the naked eye, at this time Qi Rongxun didn't even have the confidence to organize defense.
Suddenly, a soldier of the Shenji Battalion shouted in the back row:
"Look! Over there are our cavalry! β
Qi Rongxun looked back when he heard this, and sure enough, after the smoke and dust, a large cavalry team came not far behind Qi Rongxun's array, it seems that Lan Ziyi did not die in the attack of the thieves just now,
When the other soldiers heard that there was their own cavalry, the soldiers rushed back, and their morale was all uplifted, and they fought harder against the thieves.
It was a good thing to revive morale, but it didn't last long, because the cavalry who came back from the Jihu battalion did not return to Qi Rongxun's side, they quickly ran towards the bandits, and saw that the direction of the Jihu battalion soldiers was to the right flank of the bandits, which was the only gap in the bandits' front, Mo Feilan Ziyi thought......
The infantry officers and soldiers who were still fighting watched the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion go away in a daze, and suddenly a sergeant beside Qi Rongxun lamented:
"Lan Weihou is running! Lan Weihou fled with someone! β
Before the pessimism shouted by the soldier could infect others, the general of the Shenji Battalion stepped forward and lifted the sergeant's helmet and gave him a big ear scraper.
The Shenji battalion general scolded:
"What are you talking nonsense about the bitch? Wei Hou Gong is loyal to the country, there must be other plans for this outing, you shake the army's heart here Believe it or not, I will behead you! β
Under the reprimand of the commander of the Shenji battalion, all the sergeants immediately shut up, and a possible collapse of the army's spirit was stifled in this way.
Qi Rongxun walked up to the battalion general, looked at him and said:
"I thought there was a gap between the general and the Marquis of Wei, but I didn't expect you to trust him so much."
After glaring at the nonsense sergeant, the Shenji battalion general said to Qi Rongxun:
"Young General, you are too honest and don't know how to be flexible, I fought with Lan Ziyi because I wanted to fight for your profits, don't let him calculate you, but this is not to say that I doubt Lan Ziyi's ability to lead the troops and his courage, although this person is young, he is a hero, and it can be seen from his gestures that he will never leave us and run away first."
Then the battalion general leaned into Qi Rongxun's ear and lowered his voice and said:
"Even if Lan Tartar really runs away, can you let this matter spread in the army?"
Qi Rongxun suddenly realized when he heard this, and nodded,
At this time, a hurried sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and Tao Zhuhu shouted loudly on his horse:
"Don't panic, the guards and marquis will attack behind the thieves, and they will send me to inform Qi Hou, asking the Shenji Battalion and the Jihu Battalion to attack at the same time, and attack the thieves on both sides."
When the army saw Tao Zhuhu coming over to deliver the message in person, they were immediately relieved, and Qi Rongxun and the Shenji battalion general also put their hearts back in their stomachs.
But it is an indisputable fact that the officers and soldiers have lost control of the battle situation, and in the roar of the soldiers here, Qi Rongxun turned to look at the river, only to see the fire meteors rising from the river, Qi Rongxun opened his mouth and scolded:
"Damn demon thief, do you want to stone your own people to death together?"
