Chapter 533: Who Dominates the Ups and Downs (6)
The right flank of the Han King's army had approached the enemy's position and was engaged in a large-scale battle.
The air was filled with the sound of firecrackers on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the "crackling" explosion of the firecrackle continued. On the battlefield of the smoky front, rows of flashes of light came and went, and the voices of people filled the sky and the earth.
In the infantry formations of both sides, people kept falling from the ranks. On the undulating terrain, corpses can be seen everywhere.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the scene on the battlefield and saw that the main cavalry led by Ping'an was still fighting fiercely with a large number of cavalry of the official army. Although Ping An has few people, it should have gained some advantages; The condition of the left flank of its cavalry was in sight, and the line of battle there was gradually moving north.
When Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at the left rear, he saw that the boundless sea of infantry was moving and spreading, and the Chinese army under the command of Sheng Yong had already begun to advance.
The nearby Hanwang cannon once again "boomed...... and there was a loud bang, and the ground on the hillside seemed to be trembling. Zhu Gaoxu looked at the depth of the enemy formation and found that the effect of the artillery bombardment at this time was slightly worse than at the beginning. The formations behind the enemy were no longer so dense, and the formation was sparse, but there was more confusion in the crowd.
However, there are not many iron bullets left of the Hanwang cannon.
At this moment, Wang Bin rushed up from the north slope with several horses, but saw a few broken arrow feathers stuck in his chest.
"The last general was ordered to retreat." Wang Bin saluted on horseback.
Zhu Gaoxu listened to his voice, observed for a while, and saw that his posture and movements were powerful, so he was a little relieved. Zhu Gaoxu asked: "Wang Dudu's injury, can't anyone die?" ”
Wang Bin coughed: "I can't die!" ”
Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "Okay, the right wing military power is now in the hands of Wang Dudu." He took out the seal and handed it over.
Wang Bin took it with both hands in some confusion.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced back at Sheng Yongjun's movement and said, "We have to get rid of Xue Lujun as soon as possible!" Ping'an drove the enemy cavalry to the north, and the flanks of Xue Lu's army were already exposed; This king is now leading the remaining horse army to flank Xue Lu's army and completely defeat it! ”
Wang Bin hurriedly persuaded: "The last general is willing to attack on behalf of the prince!" ”
Zhu Gaoxu smiled: "Do you have my prestige in the army?" ”
Wang Bin was stunned for a moment and replied speechlessly.
Zhu Gaoxu immediately suppressed his smile and said, "When Wang Dudu saw that our horse team was approaching the enemy's main formation, he immediately ordered the artillery array to stop the shelling. Supervise the infantry in front and attack with all your might! ”
"The last will be ordered!" Wang Bin hugged his fists.
Zhu Gaoxu lifted a cherry gun, shouted, and beckoned the pro-soldiers and horses to rein in their horses and turn to the right. At this time, Wang Bin's voice said again: "Take care, prince!" Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at him and said coldly: "Do your own thing." ”
Wang Bin stared at Zhu Gaoxu and nodded vigorously.
Not long after, Zhu Gaoxu and the others rushed to the front of the cavalry camp on the right rear side, and the rest of the cavalry of the Han Wangjun were all here. He soon ordered the generals to set out, and began to set out north with thousands of horsemen.
The horse teams that were jogging all over the place ran past the grand infantry of the right wing army of the Han King one after another. At this time, some infantry soldiers saw Zhu Gaoxu's banner, and the people nearby also recognized him.
"King Han is here!" Someone shouted.
After a moment, "King Han! The shouts of the King of Han spread far to the west, and people raised their weapons and looked to the right. There was also a shout in the distance: "King Han is our king......" The shouts everywhere seemed to be injected with some kind of invisible power on the tragic battlefield.
Zhu Gaoxu raised his cherry spear, signaled to the soldiers of the infantry army who passed by, and continued to gallop forward on his horse. The surging convoy of horses rolled up dust and mist, moving north as quickly as a torrent of muddy water.
The flanks of the enemy's large array gradually appeared in sight.
Many of the phalanxes were lined with spears and shieldmen, apparently to guard against cavalry on the flanks. However, the continuous shelling of the Han Dynasty's artillery array, as well as the heavy pressure of the large army in front, caused many enemy phalanx formations to show signs of confusion. The middle position of the large array, after being torn apart by artillery again and again, the chaos was even worse at this time!
"Papapa...... The sound of light cavalry shooting behind the Han Wangjun sounded intensively. Bows and arrows from the enemy formation were also thrown, and arrows flew back and forth in the air. The sound of horses' hooves and neighing was deafening and became more and more noisy.
Zhu Gaoxu was on the left side of the horse army, jogging on horseback while watching the scene of the enemy formation. After a while, he noticed that the two large phalanx queues in front of the side were loose, and the gap in the middle was still very large!
Not allowing too much wandering, he raised his gun and pointed diagonally in that direction, shouting, "All the departments in front rush in, don't block the gap that is opened!" ”
He shouted, and the horse rushed diagonally. There was a shout from the soldiers around: "Kill! ”
Countless horses' hooves flew on the ground, and Zhu Gaoxu led a team of horses to take the lead in charging.
The cavalry was extremely fast, and many officers and soldiers seemed to have discovered the target of the Han cavalry, but they were unable to guard against it in an instant. The surging herd of horses soon swept in through the gap in the phalanx!
"Bang! Bang......" The messy sound of fire rang out on the right. From time to time, Zhu Gaoxu heard the screams of the soldiers behind him, and fell off his horse with a "plop".
Today, after the infantry of the officers and troops suffered continuous artillery bombardment, the phalanx was sparsely arranged and very separated; A cavalry column led by Zhu Gaoxu broke into the depth of the enemy camp without directly charging into the formation!
In a few moments, under the roar of the horses' hooves, he heard loud moans and noises not far away. A chaotic phalanx appeared in front of him, and on the ground lay some people wounded by artillery.
"Kill!" Zhu Gaoxu shouted, and led his own soldiers and cavalry to rush away.
The chaotic formation of the officers and troops completely failed to organize a dense defense line with long weapons. A herd of horses rushed up, and many enemy soldiers turned around and avoided with frightened faces and instinctively. The cavalry then entered the formation, swords and spears waved around them, and screams abounded.
Zhu Gaoxu hasn't gone into battle with a real knife or a real gun in person for a few years, but at this time, he still feels quite comfortable with a cherry spear condescendingly rushing to kill. He killed two people in a row from behind the two infantrymen, and another shot stabbed out diagonally, and with a "clang", he suddenly stabbed an iron round shield, and the head of the spear was broken!
He threw away the barrel of his gun, and with a "swish" he pulled out the saber on his back, and the mount had already rushed some distance, and he slashed down sideways, and with a loud "clang", the knife slashed at the iron helmet of a soldier, which was cracked and the soldier fell limply.
More cavalry from behind rushed in all directions.
"Kill ......" Zhu Gaoxu heard the sound of dense footsteps and shouts of killing, and turned his head to see that an infantry phalanx behind him, holding dense spears, was advancing forward.
Zhu Gaoxu waved his horse knife and shouted, "Go left!" ”
He immediately left the place with his army and made a detour to the left. As long as the cavalry can still run, they will never gnaw hard bones easily!
The cavalry poured out to the south, and saw a group of cavalry of the Han Dynasty on the left front, fighting with the infantry phalanx; Zhu Gaoxu immediately led his army to kill the flank of the enemy's phalanx.
"Bang!" Suddenly, there was a bang. Zhu Gaoxu felt a pain in his left chest, and then he realized that more than ten steps away, an enemy soldier was holding a bronze handcuff against him, and the mouth was still smoking.
His body trembled, and Chen Dazhui beside him exclaimed: "Lord Wang! ”
Zhu Gaoxu used a force on his left arm, feeling that he still had strength, and suddenly guessed that the armor blocked it and the wound should not be deep. He ignored Chen Da Hammer and immediately scolded: "Death!" "Kick the horse and kill the general.
The soldier took a departed torch and took a step back in a panic. In an instant, Zhu Gaoxu had already scattered several people, ran to the soldier, and stabbed him sideways! He heard a muffled snort, and after pulling the knife off the enemy's chest, Zhu Gaoxu felt a heat on the side of his neck, and blood sprayed on his head.
"Ahh Suddenly, an enemy soldier rushed up with a knife in both hands and shouted, Zhu Gaoxu struck it with a knife, and then swung it outward, with a terrible cracking sound, and the enemy soldier fell out on his back, and the blood beads on his neck sprayed into the air.
"Kill ......" Chen Dazhui and the others shouted loudly, desperately slashing and rushing in front of Zhu Gaoxu. The other two cavalrymen had been staying on both sides of Zhu Gaoxu, and they didn't kill much, and they were always looking left and right, always ready to block the gun...... After all, the riches of the royal governor are there.
But after a while, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt a "clanging" sound on his helmet, a pain in his left back, and the chain mail inside was shot through, and a cold arrow was hit in the place where the armor failed to wrap it! An arrow was also shot in his breastplate, but it didn't pierce his cold-forged armor.
The rider beside him, who was about to block the gun, was also hit by an arrow and screamed in pain. The big flag next to Zhu Gaoxu is too popular! Bows and arrows on all sides are looking for ways to beckon this way.
"Resist the flag!" Zhu Gaoxu scolded, his left arm was now almost useless, and the wound was in severe pain as soon as he pulled it hard. With so many cavalry around, sometimes the arrow is completely unlucky.
Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his face, and stared at a group of Han king's army and horses blocked by Tian Kan not far away, trapped in the infantry, several knights were besieged from all sides, some people were pulled off their horses, and there were neighing and desperate screams from the crowd.
must not show the side of fear of death at this time, Zhu Gaoxu showed fierce anger, shouted with a heavy knife in one hand, chased the running foot soldiers, and cut people when he saw them! The surrounding soldiers and elite horsemen all performed desperately, and Zhu Gaoxu's horse team was unstoppable, coming and going in the crowd, and after a while, it swept through a number of scattered phalanxes.
In the south, the Han King's right-wing army infantry was in large formation, and the soldiers also seemed to see the fierce and vertical Han King's army and horse team in the enemy formation; In the distance to the south, there were earth-shattering shouts again. The officers and troops were in deep chaos, and the vast crowd was in turmoil.
In the rear of the official army in the north, many disorganized routs had already run through the large formation, and were spreading up the hillside one after another. There were even some horsemen chasing after the rout, but those horsemen were the officers and soldiers themselves; The Han army did not rush to the rear of the large array.
