Chapter 555 Discount Knife Discount Man
Chen Dingnan and Xiahou Baichuan's men and horses quickly rowed around the ranks of the Northern Barbarians, just like two sharks circling around a group of people who had fallen into the water. There would be two times when the two cavalry crossed each other in a circle, and the Northern Barbarians had no way to deal with such a somewhat scoundrel style of play.
Mr. Xie didn't care about the life and death of the Northern Barbarians at all, he was just resentful of Fang Jie's attitude. In addition, he wanted to entangle Fang Jie, if he could inflict a certain blow on Fang Jie's cavalry, it would be absolutely beneficial for the Great Sui Imperial Court to quell the rebellion. Now that the emperor has reached the point where he is struggling, once Fang Jie's cavalry team of tens of thousands returns to the Central Plains, it will be tantamount to adding insult to injury for the imperial court.
Chang'an City, and even the people of Gyeonggi Province are still singing and dancing in the blindness of the imperial court, but in fact, the entire northwest, southwest, and Jiangnan of the Great Sui are in chaos. It may not take long for this kind of deception to be exposed, and once Gyeonggi Province falls into chaos, the imperial court will not be able to suppress it.
Mr. Xie's mind is all about how to revive the Xie family in Jiangnan, not how loyal he is to the emperor, but now with the strength of the Xie family, he can only rely on the imperial court if he wants to revive. It's not that he hasn't wavered, thinking about whether the Xie family will achieve the same goal if the rebels are attached to it. But this idea was quickly rejected by him, and those who rebelled would not reuse the Xie family because the Xie family's capital was not enough.
And once the imperial court succeeds in quelling the rebellion, those families who secretly support the rebellion will suffer a catastrophe. The emperor had the courage to break and stand up, with the determination to set the Great Sui back for decades or even a hundred years, which was the only chance for the Xie family.
The Xie family was once so brilliant.
In fact, the decline of the Xie family was also caused by the suppression of the Great Sui royal family. No one knows better than the Xie family, who also provided great support to the rebels in the war to overthrow Da Zheng's rule. And because of this, after the Yang family ascended to the dominant position, they began the project of cutting tofu with a soft knife, starting with some weaker families and gradually testing the bottom line of those families.
The Xie family is the flag that was abandoned in this soft struggle between the family and the royal family. When the Yang family first ruled, those families would always make some concessions.
The funny thing is that the Xie family pinned their hopes for the rise on the Yang family instead.
Looking at the panicked reaction of the Northern Barbarians, Mr. Xie was initially expressionless. Even if these Northern Barbarians are dead, he won't care, whether it is to prompt the Northern Barbarians to mobilize troops against Meng Yuan or the other party to relieve them, it is not a bad thing for the emperor. And the other party's mobilization of troops seems to be more beneficial to the emperor from now on.
Although this pure cavalry team under Fang Xie did not seem to have much advantage after returning to the Central Plains, because the pure cavalry could not attack the city, and it was far less threatening than the infantry in the Central Plains. It would not be a waste to let the cavalry dismount and attack the city.
But Mr. Xie also knows that in troubled times, people have the idea of clinging to a certain force to protect themselves. Once Fang Jie's cavalry returned to the Central Plains and won a few battles and showed their strength, it was not difficult to recruit infantry. As long as there are abundant supplies, how can it be too difficult to recruit troops in troubled times?
All he could think of was this, and he didn't even notice the pleading on the face of the Northern Barbarian when he looked at him.
"Sir, if they continue to fight passively like this, the Northern Barbarians will lose more than tens of thousands of horses, if their courage is lost, they will not be so obedient in the future."
A cronie whispered in Mr. Xie's ear.
Mr. Xie snorted, raised his clairvoyance and looked into the distance, and after a while, he finally saw a team of people on a high slope a few miles away, and he snorted coldly and pointed over there: "The vertical son also dares to call the general...... Let the Northern Barbarian King send people to rush over there, don't care how the cavalry stops, just force Fang Xie to withdraw from that high slope, the cavalry under him has no flag command, and mistakes will soon occur on such a huge battlefield. ”
Mr. Xie was right, there were more than 500,000 people in the Northern Barbarians, and the area occupied by the array was extremely large. Between the several cavalry teams of Fang Jie, they all relied on the banner of Xie on the high slope to command. Once Fang Xie is forced to leave the high slope, it will be difficult for the cavalry to win if they lose their command and fight separately in such a large area.
"My subordinates will go."
Mr. Xie's cronies answered, turned around and went to the side of the Northern Barbarian King in the rear team, only to turn around and hear a big chaos in the rear team, and the mournful shouts of the Northern Barbarians spread far away.
"What's going on?"
Mr. Xie asked.
"My subordinates are going to investigate!"
His cronies urged the horse to rush out, and Mr. Xie's brows furrowed more and more as he listened to the chaos of the rear team.
Just after the two cavalry crossed over in the rear of the Northern Barbarians, the barbarians in the rear subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but before this breath went out, another cavalry rushed over from the back of the team. The two cavalry teams had crossed over once, and after the second crossing, the attention of the Northern Barbarians subconsciously followed the two cavalry, but just when they were negligent, Chen Yishan's five thousand light cavalry stabbed into the Northern Barbarians' rear team like knives.
Suddenly attacked, the rear team of the Northern Barbarians was immediately chaotic.
Chen Yishan was ordered by Fang Xie to kill the barbarians in a straight line, after all, there were more than 500,000 barbarians, and the array was too thick, and it would be difficult to come out once they were trapped. His cavalry first swept away the outermost layers of the barbarians with two rounds of feathered arrows, then brushed across the barbarian array, and slashed off another layer with a horizontal sword.
The time from the time the team cut in to the time of departure was very short, but the psychological blow to the barbarians was particularly heavy.
And Chen Yishan's cavalry quickly withdrew after slashing the barbarians, but before the barbarians could stabilize the formation, Lu Fenghou's 5,000 cavalry came again and cut off a large piece of meat from the barbarian team again.
……
……
Mr. Xie's face was extremely unsightly, and he couldn't help but burst out of anger when he saw the barbarians in the rear team who had lost their fighting spirit squeezing the front team one by one. After the report of his own soldiers, he immediately urged his horse back, and loudly ordered the Northern Barbarian King to order the team to be stabilized.
But the Northern Barbarians' style of play has always been a one-off blow, and when they win, these barbarians can't stop them by screaming and rushing forward, and it is difficult to make them muster up courage when they are at a disadvantage. The chaos in the rear ranks became more and more difficult to control, and even if the Northern Barbarian King ordered them to hold on, it would be useless.
This tactic is very similar to the Mengyuan wolf ride, but there are many differences. It was only at this moment that Mr. Xie truly understood the horror of Fang Jie's opponent. This person, in a short period of time, not only transformed the Black Flag Army into cavalry, but also found a tactic suitable for the current Black Cavalry by improving the tactics of the wolf cavalry.
The cavalry of the Black Flag Army is far inferior to the wolf cavalry, and the skill of killing the enemy on horseback is not as good as that of the wolf horse, so the cavalry of the Black Flag Army has never been in direct contact with the Northern Barbarians, so as not to be swept up by hundreds of thousands of Northern Barbarians. They took the advantage of cavalry speed to the extreme, although their cavalry shooting was not as good as wolf cavalry, but there were too many northern barbarians, the array was too dense, and the feathered arrows could hurt the enemy as long as they were released, so the tactic of slashing and leaving looked a little unorthodox, but it was extremely effective.
The two cavalry of the Black Banner Army in the rear of the onslaught were on the same wheel, one rushed over to attract the attention of the Northern Barbarians, and then the other rolled over from the flank and slashed away. Going back and forth in circles like this, the Northern Barbarians had no strength to fight back. While the rear team took turns chopping, Chen Dingnan and Xiahou Baichuan's two cavalry were still circling around the Northern Barbarian Army, and the Northern Barbarian King wanted to transfer troops from the flank to support the rear team, but as soon as they were mobilized, Chen Dingnan and Xiahou Baichuan took the cavalry to pounce and take a bite.
"Oracle!"
The Northern Barbarian King shouted at Mr. Xie with an anxious face: "What should I do!" ”
She asked.
Mr. Xie's anger was in full swing, and when he heard the shout of the Northern Barbarian King, he was even more angry, he urged his horse over and pointed at the Northern Barbarian King and shouted: "I have brought you so many benefits and led you out of the wilderness, and now you need your courage to show you, but you ask me what to do?!" ”
He pointed to the place where Fang Xie was and said loudly: "Send people to attack over there, the leader of the enemy will command the cavalry with a flag on that high slope, as long as the leader of the enemy is killed, this Han team will be finished!" ”
"The Divine Messenger ......"
The Northern Barbarian King hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't we withdraw first......
"Retreat?!"
Mr. Xie was furious: "At this point, you said that you would withdraw from the army? Have you forgotten what I said to you so quickly? I have come to recognize you as the king of the northern barbarians on behalf of God, and I can also take back your golden scepter on behalf of God! If you still want God's protection, don't tell me the word "retirement"! ”
"Yes......"
The Northern Barbarian King looked at the golden scepter in his hand, hung his head and replied, "Everything obeys the orders of the divine envoy." ”
When she lowered her head, her eyes flashed not only with fear, but also with resentment.
The Northern Barbarian King sent two of his right-hand men to break away from the large array with about 50,000 Northern Barbarians and rush towards the high slope where Fang Xie was located. At the moment when he saw the Northern Barbarians divide their troops out, Fang Xie immediately ordered his own soldiers to wave the flag. Behind him stood a line of pro-soldiers, holding flags of several colors. Each color of the flag corresponds to a cavalry team.
After the banner was waved, Zhuge Wuyun and Liu Xuri, who had not been dispatched, immediately rushed out from behind the high slope with 20,000 cavalry. They didn't care about the tens of thousands of northern barbarians rushing towards the high slope, but rushed over with the body of this barbarian and slammed into the front of the northern barbarian queue. At this time, the northern barbarians had just divided their troops, and the already loose array in front of them became even more chaotic.
The moment 20,000 cavalry cut in from the front, the Northern Barbarians were completely panicked.
Zhuge Wuyun brandished a long lance and used him as a sharp arrow to poke into the barbarian team in one go, this time it was different from the tactics of Chen Yishan and others before, he did not slash and leave, but directly killed into the barbarian team. The 20,000 cavalry were divided into four teams, and the four sharp knives pierced into the barbarians in panic, constantly widening the tearing holes.
The more the cavalrymen killed, the more excited they became, and the swords were bloody.
"Kill through!"
"Black Flag Army, forward!"
Several generals took the lead in shouting, and the long-lost blood of the cavalry erupted out of their bones. In the face of 500,000 barbarians, how magnificent were they when they shouted the slogan of killing?!
This bloody scene completely stimulated the murderous spirit of the cavalry of the Black Flag Army. The results of months of training were fully displayed at this moment, and although they were still not as good as the Wolf Rider, they found a suitable opponent, the most suitable opponent, and the Northern Barbarians made them extremely confident.
When Zhuge Wuyun and Liu Xuri led the cavalry to kill from the front, Fang Xie asked people to wave the banner, and Chen Dingnan and Xiahou Baichuan immediately took 10,000 cavalry back from the flank, and rushed the 50,000 barbarian formation from behind.
40,000 cavalry, 500,000 barbarian soldiers in a mess.
Fang Jie, who was standing on the high slope, put down the clairvoyance, and the corners of his mouth picked: "Let's go down too...... Originally, I just wanted the soldiers to recover some murderous spirit, and I didn't plan to do anything to these barbarians, but since someone wanted to use the barbarians as knives, they discounted the knife first, and then discounted the person who held the knife. ”
He beckoned, and the white lion jumped from a distance and fell beside Fang Xie in a chaotic manner, Fang Xie turned over and pointed forward, and the lion immediately roared and rushed out under the high slope. Like a white streamer, the momentum is violent.
