Text Chapter 125 Vertical and Horizontal 3
After Yu Zhilong led the cavalry to cover up and kill for a round, he saw that the defeated soldiers were scattered and could no longer effectively drive away, so he waved his hand and signaled the cavalry to converge towards him, and at the same time slowed down the horse's speed to let the horse breathe a little.
The letter is dead, and its banner has been abandoned, trampled by horses and routs!
A soldier picked it up and handed it to Yu Zhilong, Yu Zhilong opened it and looked at it, only to see that it was mixed with mud and dust, blood stains, and a few holes and knife marks.
Yu Zhilong smiled and threw it on the ground, as if discarding a rag. At the beginning, a hundred households of the Yuan army were a great figure in their own eyes, and there are more than a few thousand households of the Yuan army beheaded today!
Yu Zhilong finally stopped his horse, reached out and touched his right leg, and felt that his hand was full of blood, but it was a soldier who was slashed in the leg by Dianxin in the fight just now.
Because of the lack of armor, and in order to save horsepower, Yu Zhilong only wore a layer of willow leaf armor on his upper body, and a cloth shirt on his lower body. Even so, there was an arrow that hit the gap between the willow leaf armor in the shoulder, and the arrow went into the flesh for three points, but fortunately it did not hurt the vital point.
Wu Sidee rode over and saw that Yu Zhilong's thigh was bleeding and had soaked through the cloth, so he hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and came to check, but fortunately, there was only a lot of blood flowing, and there was no injury to the bones, and an arrow shot through the calf, revealing a sharp arrow. Wu Side tore off a piece of his shirt and prepared to bandage Yu Zhilong's thighs.
Yu Zhilong cut off the arrow with a knife, then gritted his teeth, grabbed the arrow, used force in his hand, and pulled the arrow out of his leg. Sun Xing tore off another piece of his shirt and stuffed it into the willow leaf armor on Yu Zhilong's shoulder, stopping the blood from continuing to flow.
"My lord, what shall we do next?" Wu Side asked while panting while bandaging it. This Wu Side can be regarded as a lucky general, he has rarely been injured since he joined the gang, and this battle is the same, Yu Zhilong has been injured three or four times so far, and Wu Side was only cut off a shoulder armor by Yuan Qi, and his face was rubbed with a blood mark by arrow feathers, and there was no wound on his body.
Yu Zhilong looked at the Chinese army of the Yuan army, and it was only about two hundred steps away from it now. Presumably, the main general of the Yuan army has found that he has defeated his artillery team and reinforcements, and now he is busy redeploying his troops and putting on a position to deal with himself. Looking at the two wings of the Yuan army again, he found that there was a Biao Yuan riding on the left and right in the distance, Yu Zhilong thought for a while, and said: "Gather all the horses, and let's try to impact the Tartars again." Hearing the loud killing sound in front of the enemy, it is estimated that King Shun Tian has already engaged the enemy in battle, so let's disturb it from behind! ”
Liu Zhengfeng, Yu Shichang led the army all the way forward, and was constantly attacked by the stone cannons of the Yuan army at the beginning, and after getting closer, he also ordered the archers and musketeers who had already been in place to line up and shoot. Fortunately, many simple wooden shields were made before the war, and the troops held wooden shields, which barely protected their bodies, and accelerated their pace under the instigation of the generals to minimize casualties.
Along the way, Yu Shichang and Liu Zhengfeng tried their best to restrain their subordinates, constantly encouraged loudly, and finally maintained the morale of the army.
Liu Zhengfeng gritted his teeth, held his shield, and constantly encouraged himself, as long as he advanced a hundred steps, he could completely fight with the enemy!
As he was rushing forward, Liu Zhengfeng found that the stone cannon on the opposite side suddenly stopped firing, and even the archers and musketeers in the opposite array were running nervously. Because the target on the horse was too big and it was not easy to protect, Liu Zhengfeng and other officers did not dare to ride horses anymore, but led the army on foot. Just now, the Yuan army's arrow rain, fire guns shot in waves, fortunately their side prepared a lot of wooden shields, otherwise the casualties would have been great.
Liu Zhengfeng observed carefully, and it was obvious that the opponent's shooter was urgently mobilized, and it seemed that he had been transferred to the rear, so that the damage he suffered if he continued to move forward was almost gone!
Seeing that there are no more arrows, firebolts and stones, the morale of the army is lifted!
When there were still dozens of steps or so to go, Liu Zhengfeng ordered loudly: "Order, speed up the pace, let's rush over quickly!" The two soldiers agreed, held their shields to protect themselves, and ran to the left and right to give orders.
Liu Zhengfeng began to meet the enemy here, while Wan Jinhai and Qin Zhanshan were in a critical situation. Tian's righteous army offensive wave like a wave, Wan Jinhai, Qin Zhanshan took out the strength to eat milk to barely support the undefeated, unexpectedly in the side and rear appeared a large number of Yuan horses, the original arrangement of the horse pit, stumbling horses, etc. Although it played a great role, but there were too many Yuan horses, and the follow-up Yuan horses slowed down their horses, avoided these traps, and still rushed over, fortunately, the Shuntian Army cavalry came to support in time, and they were able to support it.
The deputy commander of the Yuan cavalry led people to rush back and forth with the cavalry of the Shuntian Army three times, completely killing the cavalry of the Shuntian Army. They didn't dare to entangle with Tang Wuwei anymore, so they retreated to the periphery to watch.
These improvised cavalry could still have an advantage against unsuspecting foot soldiers, and once they faced off against well-trained cavalry, they immediately revealed their lack of training and confusion. After three hedges, the battle loss ratio of the two sides is more than three times!
If it weren't for the rush to solve Wan Jinhai and Qin Zhanshan, and completely crush the right wing of the Shuntian army, Tang Wuwei would definitely have been chasing and killing these cavalry.
Seeing that the cavalry of the Shuntian Army was far away, the deputy commander gave up the pursuit, immediately turned his horse, and led his subordinates to swim around the periphery of Qin Zhanshan and Wanjinhai, looking for an opportunity to attack the weak parts of the array, and at the same time ordered a soldier with bows and arrows to launch a cavalry shooting.
Yuan Qi is flexible and flexible, constantly teasing Qin Zhanshan and Wan Jinhai, if Qin Zhanshan and Wan Jinhai dare to rashly attack Yuan Cai, they will soon be shot into hedgehogs by the surrounding Yuan Qi horses.
With the cooperation of the Yuan cavalry, Tian Hui's department became even more aggressive, and several strong attacks caused several sections of Wan Jinhai and Qin Zhanshan to be broken through, and hundreds of volunteers rushed in, almost shaking the front!
After a few pillars of incense, Qin Zhanshan couldn't support it anymore, and called for help to Liu Qi in the rear. Seeing that the situation here was critical, Liu Qi urgently ordered Xiahou En's troops to quickly step forward and divide one to drive away the Yuan cavalry and one to support Wan Jinhai. Xia Houen's department is only a thousand people, which can be regarded as the reserve army of the Shuntian army, with the support of these thousand people, Wan Jinhai can barely withstand the fierce attack of Tian Hui's department, but there is really no way to deal with Tang Wuwei, who comes and goes like the wind.
"These soft persimmons are all four-legged, why don't you dare to step forward and do it with the tartars!" Wan Jinhai looked at the cavalry watching from afar, and he was angry.
"Big brother, they are afraid of being killed by the Tartars!" A cronie said indignantly, "If I knew this, I should have let my eldest brother be the head of this cavalry!" ”
"Don't say it's useless, it's a matter of getting these two devils back in front of you!" Another cronie shouted. The second devil is a contemptuous name for the rebels.
"How? Just a little bit of us? Don't forget, there are hundreds of Tartar cavalry out there! Who will deal with them? The cronie who spoke just now said angrily.
Tang Wuwei's ejaculation and impact greatly interfered with Wan Jinhai and Qin Zhanshan's resistance to Tian Hui's department, and he didn't pay attention for a while, and was torn off a piece of meat by Tang Wuwei.
"Lao Wan, this is not a matter, let's ask King Shuntian for troops again!" Qin Zhanshan rubbed his arm and said. The two of them have been carrying Tian Hui's department on the right flank, the casualties of his subordinates are not counted, Tang Wuwei and the Shuntian Army cavalry fight, the two of them understand that the battlefield duel, their own cavalry is not the opponent of the Yuan cavalry at all, simply complaining that the cavalry team does not make efforts, it is useless, originally more than 700 horses, a few rounds of rushing down, barely half of the people who survived!
The advantage is that Tang Wuwei also suffered a lot of losses, so that the Tartars have no intention of directly attacking him for the time being.
But this kind of harassment and impact also made them unbearable, if it wasn't for Xia Houen to catch up, the two would probably have to withdraw their troops!
"King Shuntian has already begun to engage the enemy, and the battle is now raging there, and retreating at this time will only give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of!" Xia Houen disagreed, now the battle is in full swing everywhere, entangled with each other, how can it be withdrawn!
Wan Jinhai looked around the battlefield and looked at Liu Zhengfeng's Chinese army from afar, although it was only some black spots and could not see the specific situation, but thinking about the blows they received along the way, now that they finally had the opportunity to meet the enemy, it was clear that they would not retreat easily
"This battle is already a life-and-death situation, since King Shuntian has personally pressed it, it is impossible to withdraw it without separating the victory or defeat with the Tartars." Wan Jinhai muttered, "Now that the big guy has no other ideas, he ordered all the brothers to kill one and earn one!" As long as the Tartars are repulsed, Lao Tzu will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and the reward will be doubled! ”
Qin Zhanshan and Xia Houen looked at each other, and the original battle plan was to fight if they could, and retreat if they couldn't, but strive to kill and wound the Yuan army as much as possible before retreating. Now this plan can't keep up with the changes, this is a battle to win!
"What about Yu Zhilong? Why hasn't there been any movement yet? Qin Zhanshan asked anxiously.
"Just now, General Wing Fei came to report that they were fighting a full-scale battle with Meng Qingbu, and a Yuan cavalry was also rushing to them! General Fei's cavalry team has also been dispatched, and they are still entangled with the Yuan cavalry! A pro-soldier replied from behind.
"Why are they so slow? It belongs to him Yu Zhilong's soldiers! Even their cavalry was at their disposal, and the plan was for them to counterattack first and defeat the Yuan army! Xia Houen said angrily.
This is too inauthentic for Yu Zhilong, not only does the cavalry he formed refuse to be allocated to the Chinese army for unified use, but also secretly expands his subordinates. Everyone thought that he was more than 2,000 horses, but they didn't expect that after the whole army lined up in the end, nearly 4,000 people poured out of Yu Zhilong's barracks!
No wonder Yu Zhilong dared to take the initiative to ask for help and take on the important task of making the first breakthrough of the left wing!
The big war is imminent, and several leaders are not good at complaining, and Yu Zhilong's scheming makes these people frightened. If it weren't for Yu Zhilong's care for everyone all the way, I am afraid that Liu Qi would lose his face on the spot!
In fact, this matter was somewhat wronged by Yu Zhilong, and the hidden strength was the suggestion of Zhao Shi, Xie Lin and others, and Yu Zhilong did not have this mind at the beginning.
Most of the extra 1,000 soldiers were composed of the original quarrying and people who heard the news from the surrounding area.
Yu Zhilong has been leaving them in the quarry to practice later, one reason is that it is relatively secretive, and there are too many people inside and outside Linqu City, it is difficult to ensure that there are no spies from Yidu City, and he has recently recruited a large number of soldiers, and he is also worried about mixing in many people with ill intentions.
Yu Zhilong trained many pikemen, originally to deal with the Yuan army's foot soldiers. Unexpectedly, after having Tang Wuwei, he happened to deal with these cavalry. Wan, Qin and other departments also formed a lot, at this time, seeing that the Yuan cavalry was fierce, Xia Houen simply transferred all the pikemen of the three to the direction of the Yuan cavalry impact.
Fortunately, Tang Wuwei's arrows are not too many, and the Yuan cavalry equipped with bows and arrows is not more than a few hundred households, many of which are also lost on the way to the charge, after more than a dozen rounds of arrow rain, although the Shuntian army was shot down by hundreds of people, but Tang Wuwei's arrows are basically exhausted, and there is only one way left.
