Chapter 474: The Battle of Huaiyang (3)
"You should know how powerful the three-bow crossbow is, how big the casualties will be if you are shot for a long time? As long as the position of the snake's belly can hold on to half a pillar of incense, Jiangpu's 50,000 army is almost the same. ”
After listening to Li Jing's explanation, Yang Lin suddenly realized.
He said, "It turns out that you are also gambling? ”
"Fighting a war is a big gamble, it's just a matter of who has more chips and who has less. Don't you know now? ”
"Ugh"
That's a new statement.
Yang Lin was stunned, and couldn't help but smile: "General Li said well." It seems that I will have to change my mindset in the future. Not every battle is absolutely certain. As long as you have enough chips, you can use pawns. ”
"Hey, I said ugly things in front of me, and I lost the battle, but don't blame me."
"Hahaha"
Yang Lin didn't answer Li Jing's words, but he tilted his head and laughed, not knowing what he was laughing at.
.
The battle outside the city has been fought quite fiercely.
As Li Jing said.
Jiang Pu didn't understand the formation at all, just like a wild bull who went crazy, just rushing forward. And in front of him, there were countless shield soldiers, forming some kind of defensive formation, blocking his way.
No matter how brave he was, no matter how many soldiers he had behind him, it would be impossible to break through in a short time.
Jiangpu didn't notice. As he rushed forward, the soldiers behind him were under siege. The head and tail of the snake in a long snake formation quickly swept over, using a three-bow strong crossbow and shooting wildly.
Due to the large number of soldiers using three-bow crossbows, the density of shooting is also large, and the Shu army that was shot was almost all wearing leather armor. They have suffered huge casualties.
Puff puff
The battle never stopped.
It took Jiang Pu a lot of effort to break through the position of the snake's belly and cut Li Jing's long snake array hard.
All the while, he didn't look back.
The 50,000 army behind him had been almost killed by the arrows of the three-bow crossbow. The left and right wings are full of corpses, piled up to form two small hills.
The blood flowed like a river and condensed into a fog.
The pungent smell of blood permeated every corner of the battlefield.
And for these, Jiang Pu only smelled blood, and didn't know anything else.
"The long snake formation has been broken. Aren't you ready to change formations? Yang Lin, who was looking down on the battlefield from a distance, asked Li Jing suspiciously.
"No, you don't."
Li Jing's gaze swept back and forth on the battlefield: "The tens of thousands of troops in Jiangpu are even more stupid than I imagined. They don't even have the most basic ability to resist. In the face of the shot of the crossbow, only know how to dodge. The shield soldiers were so selfish that they only defended themselves, regardless of the lives of their comrades. It was difficult for the pikemen to resist the crossbows. I figured that if I held out a little longer, they would be wiped out. ”
However, Yang Lin's reminder is also correct. The long snake formation has been breached. If you don't change the formation in time, there will be some casualties.
Li Jing thought about it for a while and shouted, "Someone." Go and pass on my orders. All crossbowmen evacuate the battlefield. The battalions scattered to meet the enemy. The rear army of 5,000 formed a tiger wing formation and advanced to the north. ”
"No."
The heralds drove their horses away.
"Tiger Wing Formation?"
Yang Lin was taken aback.
He remembered that after arriving in the new capital, he gave Li Jing the command of the army, and it was only from that time that Li Jing began to train soldiers. It's only been a few days, and the soldiers have been able to master two formations?
This skill of training soldiers is too against the sky!
"As early as when I was in Fucheng, I began to train the 2nd Division, and I am quite familiar with the use of various formations. It's just that all the while, we have used assault guns and grenades, ignoring the use of formations. ”
Li Jing seemed to sense Yang Lin's surprise and explained slightly.
It's just that Yang Lin didn't know that in order to arrange the Tiger Wing Array, Li Jing began to prepare half a year ago, how much effort he put in, and how much hardship the soldiers endured. The so-called ten-year sword casting does not show its edge. Until this moment, there is no chance to show it.
As soon as the Tiger Wing Array came out, the momentum was completely different.
They rose from the rear and charged to the north, completely crushing everything. The tens of thousands of remnants of Jiangpu were defeated and retreated.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye.
Night falls.
The battle outside Huaiyang City has begun to end.
Jiangpu's 50,000 troops suffered casualties after a day of fighting. Just the appearance of the Tiger Wing Array defeated Jiangpu's vanguard from the front, killing more than 20,000 enemies.
The entire battlefield was controlled by Li Jing.
Yang Lin led a team of personal guards and approached the middle of the battlefield, preparing to capture Jiangpu alive.
"General Pei, General Pei asks for help. It is said that more than 40,000 soldiers and horses came out of Mianzhu Pass, and although they were ambushed by General Pei, the casualties were not large. The two sides are currently at war. "The scout is coming.
"Got it"
Li Jingchao glanced at the battlefield, thought for a while, and said, "In another half an hour, Jiangpu will be defeated." We just happened to be in full swing and occupy Huaiyang. If you withdraw to help Pei Yuanqing now, won't it be a failure? Go and tell General Pei that if you can't fight, you will retreat. I don't have the extra troops to help him right now. ”
"No."
The scouts are only responsible for conveying orders, how dare they question Li Jing.
However, giving up the elimination of more than 40,000 reinforcements from Mianzhu was also a big 'loss' for Li Jing. Originally, he attacked Huaiyang to lure the snake out of the hole and weaken the strength of Mianzhu Pass. Now the remnants of Jiangpu are still holding on, and he has to make a choice when he is persecuted.
Compared with the reinforcements that eliminated Mianzhuguan, it was more important to occupy Huaiyang.
The scout left shortly after.
Yang Lin found Jiangpu on the battlefield and defeated him with just one move!
"Tie it up!"
With Yang Lin bursting out, the guards he brought with him tied up Jiangpu Wuhua.
The Shu army, which was still fighting around, saw that Jiangpu was captured alive and scattered in fright.
Yang Lin shouted: "Listen to the Shu army, Jiangpu has been captured alive by me, and if there are any more resistors, they will be killed!" ”
Normally, the generals were captured alive, and most of the soldiers would have surrendered. Because it is pointless to resist, surrender will not be punished by the superiors, and you can save your life.
However, when Li Jing and Yang Lin were in the new capital, they killed more than 40,000 prisoners!
This matter has long been blown to Huaiyang. The soldiers had long been secretly determined that they would not surrender at any time. Surrender is tantamount to seeking death, it is better to fight hard, maybe there is still a way to live!
"Brothers, you can't surrender, and if you surrender, you will die!"
"Have you forgotten the Battle of the New Capital?"
"More than 40,000 captives in Xindu have all been killed by them!"
"Fight to the death! Fight with them! ”
Just when Yang Lin was holding Jiangpu and preparing to persuade him to surrender, the soldiers of the Shu army resisted one by one. None are willing to surrender. This made Yang Lin very angry, and shouted: "Kill! ”
