"Report! There is a Korean cavalry attack from the north! β
The Wei soldiers, who were in charge of the vigilance, quickly reported the movement in the north to Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, Zhao Hongrun turned his head to look into the distance, and when he saw the dust in the north, his heart couldn't help but feel cold.
Of course, he understood what the strange dust in the distance meant.
I have to say that at this moment, he is really depressed, because according to his estimates, as long as it takes another half an hour, no, as long as it takes another quarter of an hour, the struggling Korean army on the opposite side will collapse.
At that time, the surprise attack of nearly 20,000 Wei troops here will be able to create a rare victory in a century-when surrounded by more than twice as many Wei troops because of the lack of food, deceive the enemy cavalry, defeat the enemy infantry, and win the final victory of the war.
Zhao Hongrun didn't care about the honor brought by this victory, what he cared about was the soldiers under his command: as long as the infantry led by the three Han generals of Storm Kite, Jin Huang and Feng Ying were defeated, the Wei army could take advantage of the victory and attack Gao Wolf, after all, Gao Wolf's defender "Ma Yin" sent a lot of soldiers and horses from the local area to surround it, in this case, it was entirely possible for the Wei army to capture Gao Wolf.
And this one is very likely.
Once the nearly 20,000 Wei army surprise attack troops under Zhao Hongrun captured Gao Wolf, then the Wei army will be out of the predicament: first, this surprise attack force can survive, and second, the 80,000 Wei troops who captured the city of the eldest son can also hold out until the beginning of next spring with the captured grain.
However, the tenacity of the Korean army here was beyond Zhao Hongrun's expectations, and the speed at which the Korean cavalry rushed to support was beyond Zhao Hongrun's imagination.
"That's just a little bit off......
His eyes dimmed, and Zhao Hongrun could only order the whole army to shrink the formation to prevent the attacking Korean cavalry from loosening the formation.
As a result, the Wei army contracted its formation and switched from offensive to defensive, so that the infantry of the three armies of the Storm Kite Army, Jin Huang Army, and Feng Ying Army, which were about to be defeated, finally continued their vitality.
"Whew-"
With the sound of horses' hooves, thousands of Korean cavalry attacked this side from afar, and when they approached the shrinking formation of the Wei army, they turned a corner and began to slowly run around the Wei army's military momentum.
This is not only to deter the Wei army and reduce the pressure on the Han army infantry here, but also to allow the cavalry to take a breath, after all, the Han general Hua Can, who led this cavalry, rushed over from the east side of Wei Qiu non-stop, and they were actually very tired, and it was difficult to immediately launch a wave of charges against the Wei army.
But even if he was tired, Hua Can, the cavalry general of the Han army, did not lose his hatred for the Wei army in the slightest.
Because in the "Battle of Hyun Castle", the Storm Kite Army killed two generals in that battle, one called "Jangwu" and the other called "Hwachang", both of whom died during the hedging against the heavy cavalry of the Korean cavalry led by them.
It was a veritable death charge, because after a wave of hedging, the heavy cavalry of the traveling horse had almost no losses, and the light cavalry led by the two Han generals of Zhangwu and Huachang suffered a devastating blow and the whole army was annihilated, and even the two Korean generals of Zhangwu and Huachang were inexplicably killed in that charge.
And Hua Chang is Hua Can's brother, so it can be imagined that Hua Can's hatred for Wei Jun is conceivable.
Therefore, even if the rapid march came, it was difficult for the manpower and horsepower to continue, but Hua Can, out of hatred for the Wei army, still barely supported it, looking for an opportunity to wait for the opportunity to break up the Wei army's formation.
Due to the support of the cavalry, the morale of the Han infantry here was greatly boosted, and the decline of the Wei army, which was defeated and retreated, actually launched a counterattack against the Wei army.
This situation made Zhao Hongrun feel unusually tired.
Because even if it is him, in this case, there is almost no power to recover the disadvantage. After all, there are thousands of Korean cavalry, which is a powerful force that can turn the entire battle around.
It seems that the Wei soldiers under his command are also aware of this, so that when Zhao Hongrun ordered the tightening of the defensive line, he seemed to be able to clearly feel that the morale of the soldiers of this Wei army plummeted.
"How can this be......
"Why did the Korean cavalry come so quickly?"
"Our Army...... Our army has not yet defeated this Korean army, and we have not yet captured the high wolf......
At this moment, the Wei soldiers couldn't help but be a little desperate.
And at this moment, Zhai Huang, a veteran of the Wei army, discovered this in time and shouted: "Cheer up!" β¦β¦ Don't forget, our army still has people who must be protected! β
"Who must be guarded?"
γβ¦β¦ His Royal Highness King Su?'
"Yes! And His Royal Highness King Su!'
After hearing Zhai Huang's voice, the Wei soldiers once again clenched the weapons in their hands tightly and lifted their spirits.
Because even if this war is ultimately lost, they still have someone they want to protect, His Royal Highness King Su who will risk his life and die with them!
γβ¦β¦ What a terrible army.'"
Looking at the situation on the battlefield, the tired face of the commander-in-chief of the South Korean army, Storm Kite, has never disappeared.
He felt that he had never seen such a tenacious army in his life: whether it was when he ran out of food and was trapped in Wei Qiu, or when he learned that thousands of Han cavalry were coming, it seemed that no matter how difficult the situation was, he could not shake the will of this Wei army.
Once upon a time, the Storm Kite thought that the alien races on the northern plateau were the biggest threat to their enemies in Korea, and their Korean failure to dominate the Central Plains and win the world was all because of the relationship between those aliens in the northern plateau.
But at this moment, the violent kite was convinced that the Wei army in front of him was far more terrifying than the alien army on the northern plateau.
"Finally caught up with ......."
Glancing at the cavalry of the Hua Can Army who were slowly riding their horses around Wei, the tense face of the violent kite relaxed slightly, and a faint smile appeared, and he muttered, "It's a pity, Wei Gongzi Run...... In the end, you lose. β
Having said that, Storm Kite still admired Wei Gongrun, a strong enemy who was far younger than him.
Because of this strong enemy, this young genius, almost turned the tide of the battle.
You must know that during the siege of Weiqiu, there were about 30,000 infantry and more than 20,000 cavalry in the hands of the storm kite, but they were actually forced to the edge of the cliff by nearly 20,000 Wei infantry who were trapped by food, and even if there were not thousands of cavalry who came to support from afar, the Korean army could not even guarantee the victory of this battle.
Storm Kite knew very well that if the Wei Gongzi Run on the opposite side also had a cavalry in his hands, this battle might end in a different ending.
At the same time, in the center of the Wei army's gate array, Wei General Sun Shuke didn't care about defending the area he was responsible for, came to Zhao Hongrun's side, and clenched his fists and pleaded: "Please retreat Your Highness!" β¦β¦ The last general and others will break off for His Highness and resist the Korean army. β
"Retreat? Where to retreat? Wei Qiu? Or Taihang Mountain? β
Zhao Hongrun glanced at Sun Shuke with a calm face, he knew very well that with thousands of Han cavalry of the Huacan army beside him, he had no way to evacuate at all, unless he abandoned the 14,000 surviving Wei troops here and left them behind.
But looking at the Wei soldiers who are still holding their positions at this moment, how can Zhao Hongrun be ruthless?
"Don't say anything that displeases the king!"
may have a premonition that these people like Zongwei Zhou Pu would speak and persuade him, Zhao Hongrun took the lead in opening his mouth to block the topic, and then, he calmly looked at the cavalry of the Huacan Army who was staring at him, and said calmly: "When this Han cavalry approached our army, it did not immediately launch a charge and break up our army's formation, which shows that the other party is coming in a hurry, and the horses are tired...... In other words, our army still has a chance! β
But that's the way it is, but Zhao Hongrun actually doesn't have a bottom in his heart - is there still a chance? Is there a chance to withdraw Wei Qiu?
You must know that before sending troops this time, the Wei army had eaten all the food, even if it could withdraw to Wei Qiu, what could it do?
"Or else...... The whole army presses up, and a gamble?'
It may be that he was affected by the thousands of troops who rushed to support the Korean cavalry, so that Zhao Hongyun couldn't calm down and calmly analyze the battle situation, and hesitated in his heart.
And at this time, the guards beside Han Jiang Storm Kite inadvertently saw a faint fire in the direction of the high wolf.
After the guard rubbed his eyes and took a closer look, he saw that in the distance to the southwest, several cavalry were faintly approaching.
"General, general......" The guard swallowed and reminded the kite.
"Huh?" Storm Kite glanced back, and his happy expression suddenly froze on his face, obviously he had also noticed the change on the high wolf's side.
At this time, those cavalry rushed desperately, rushed into the Korean army, came to the tyrannical kite, and shouted urgently: "General, the Wei army has attacked the high wolf, and the high wolf is lost!" β¦β¦ Right now, this Wei reinforcement army is heading straight here! β
"Wei Jun?" Storm Kite frowned, frowned and asked, "Which Wei army?" β
"It's the 'Northern First Army' of the Wei State!" The rebuke said urgently.
"Northern First Army?"
Storm Kite was stunned, and had little impression of the Wei army that the rebuke had said.
It's no wonder, who let the "Northern First Army" do nothing during the last Northern Frontier Campaign, where is it worth remembering the tyrant kite? Even if he wanted to remember, he would only remember the strong armies of Wei like the "Su Wang Army", "Northern Second Army", "Third Army", and "Wei Wu Army".
Suddenly, the guards beside the storm kite exclaimed: "General! β
Subconsciously, the storm kite glanced up at the southwest direction, and then he was shocked to see that in the distance in the southwest direction, a large black oppressive army appeared at some point.
You can vaguely see two flags floating in that army, one with the words "Northern First Army" and the other with "Wei and Huan Wang Xuan".
"Oh no......
The violent kite who reacted secretly said that it was not good in his heart.
At the same time, in the ranks of the Wei army in the distance, Zhao Hongxuan, the younger brother of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and the king of Huan, was sitting on a war horse standing on a dirt slope, looking at the battlefield in the distance ahead.
"Caught up with ......"
With a long breath, Zhao Hongxuan raised his finger to the front and shouted: "The target is directly ahead, the whole army is assaulting!" β
"Oh-"
Tens of thousands of Wei soldiers of the Northern First Army raised their arms and shouted, and rushed towards the Korean army in the distance.
"Brother, hold on a little longer...... I'm coming.'"
Seeing his corporal rushing towards the battlefield in the distance, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan involuntarily clenched the reins.
Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers.
Brotherly love, blood is thicker than water!
