Chapter 696: The First Battle Determines the Victory
The soldiers and horses of the two armies stood two miles apart and stood in a formation facing each other, and the generals on both sides were trying to appease the restless horses, and the north wind was still blowing a little painfully on their faces.
Lai Daqian looked at the cavalry formation of the cadre army in strict formation on the opposite side, his face was not happy or sad, and he said to the general next to him, Da Boyi: "Da Boyi, Ben Shuai went to Zhao Junsheng and said, you restrain the soldiers, and you must not attack without Ben Shuai's order!" ”
Da Boyi said angrily: "Dashuai, why bother talking to Zhao Junsheng, just wave your troops to kill him?" ”
Lai Daqian shook his head: "Da Boyi, you still have a lot to learn!" If you look around, the terrain is flat and quite wide, but there is not much open space left for the cavalry to make a detour when the two armies set up their formations, that is to say, this is a hard-fought battle, there is no fancy to speak of, and it is impossible to make tactical arrangements! Wait for me to reason with Zhao Junsheng and make them ashamed, so that they can be demoralized! ”
Da Boyi suddenly realized: "I see, as soon as their morale drops, our army's chances of victory will be greatly increased, and they are handsome and clever!" ”
Lai Daqian took a few retinue knights and galloped to the middle of the two armies, stopped his horse, and shouted to Zhao Junsheng: "Zhao Junsheng, do you dare to come forward to talk about the old days?" ”
Zhao Junsheng smiled indifferently and instructed Chang Kun: "Restrain the soldiers, don't attack easily, and I'll do it when I come back!" ”
"The last general obeys!"
Zhao Junsheng only took Lu Shuang and two attendant knights to fight horses and galloped towards Daqian, stopping fifty paces away.
"Come to Daqian, now that you are raising troops to invade my country's land, you still have the face to come to find a lonely old story? Don't you really want this old face? Zhao Junsheng actually buttoned Daqian's hat first.
The soldiers under the command of Daqian all looked at each other when they heard these words, and many of them looked ashamed.
The white beard who came to Daqian was so angry that he kept trembling, he held back his anger and shouted at Zhao Junsheng: "Zhao Junsheng, you were originally my minister of the Great Wei, and my Emperor of the Great Wei named you a prince and allowed you to establish a country, this is already a great gift, since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the merit is higher than you, and there has never been such an honor, not only do you not want to serve the court and be loyal to the emperor, but you have intensified and been greedy enough, and have continuously violated the imperial court territory over the years to occupy it for yourself, and you are the first person in the world to count the ungrateful people!" ”
Zhao Junsheng was almost so angry when he heard this that a mouthful of old blood spurted out, he couldn't imagine that the mouth of this old guy was so powerful!
"Come to Daqian, you are an old immortal, it is simply a mouthful, the lonely expedition to Dingzhou and Yingzhou is the emperor's will, Du Chao, Du Gui's father and son colluded with the Southern Dynasty, and the lone emperor sent troops to exterminate them, and they all died innocently! My Qianguo pays taxes and tribute to the Great Wei court every year, how have I ever seen you come to Daqian and send envoys to talk to the emperor every year? Buliu Guli rebelled and forced the emperor to death, killed the minister, and led the army to the king, how have you ever seen you come to Daqian to send a soldier? Now this little emperor is set up by the traitor Buliu Guli, as a puppet, the court ministers are all selfish, only caring about themselves, regardless of the life and death of the people, the Great Wei has no imperial atmosphere, and should be annihilated by history. Now our Qianguo is adhering to the will of heaven, people-oriented, and the royal road is prosperous, and Wei should be replaced! ”
"As the saying goes, the king chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king! Since the Emperor of Great Wei cannot rule the world, this world should be ruled by my Qianguo, and now I, Zhao Junsheng, punish the crime on behalf of the heavens, and vow to sweep away the troubled times and return the world to a bright world, long live the Great Qian! ”
Lu Shuang and the others were enthusiastic when they heard this, holding their weapons and shouting: "Long live Daqian!" ”
The 30,000 officers and soldiers in the distance were also so excited that they held their weapons and patted their chests and shouted: "Long live the great cadres, long live the king, long live, long live, long live······
This momentum ······ Come to Daqian to feel that the momentum of the cadres has risen sharply, his face has changed greatly, and when he looks back, the soldiers and horses under his command in the distance are actually a little unstable, he is anxious and angry, and yells: "Okay, you Zhao Junsheng, you actually said that the rebellion of the master is so high-sounding, and the world is afraid that there is no other!" It's useless to talk more, let's divide the victory and defeat on the battlefield! ”
"Lone Zheng has this intention!" After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he shook the horse's head, beat the horse and galloped away in the direction of the main formation.
Lai Daqian also returned to his camp with his entourage knights on horseback, preparing to start the attack.
Zhao Junsheng returned to the formation with Lu Shuang and others, and immediately issued an order, and five thousand heavily armored iron cavalry slowly passed through the gap between the ranks and came to the front of the formation, and the left and right wings were still escorted by light cavalry.
Zhao Junsheng said to Lu Shuang: "Remember, the use of heavy armored iron cavalry must use light cavalry to protect the left and right wings, if the heavy armored iron cavalry has no light cavalry cover before rushing into the enemy's military formation, once the enemy cavalry is diagonally inserted from the two wings, it will definitely interrupt the charging rhythm of the heavy armored iron cavalry, and when the time comes, let alone kill the enemy, trampling on each other and killing can make the heavy armored iron cavalry all finished!" ”
"Also, before using the heavy armor iron horse, be sure to check the terrain, if it is around a river beach, lake beach or swamp, it is best not to use it, the soft ground can not bear the weight of the heavy armored iron horse, once the heavy armored iron horse falls into the mud, it will completely lose its attack ability and protection ability, only the part of being slaughtered! In the rugged terrain not only heavy cavalry can not be used, even the combat effectiveness of light cavalry will be limited, command cavalry combat, must choose an open terrain place, especially light cavalry, once the loss of detour space is limited to maneuverability, so the choice of battlefield is very important, can not be led by the nose of the enemy general! ”
"The heavy armored iron cavalry must maintain a dense formation when charging, so that it can give full play to the maximum power of its group charge!"
This is all experience, Lu Shuang recorded it in his heart without missing a word.
At this time, Chang Kun hit the horse and hugged his fists and said: "King, the soldiers are all ready, ready to attack at any time!" ”
"Win or lose, this time it's a hammer deal, this terrain makes it impossible for the cavalry on both sides to make a detour, so they can only resist head-on, pass the order, and prepare to attack!" Zhao Junsheng ordered.
Chang Kun nodded, raised his hand to the herald and shouted, "Prepare to attack!" ”
"Prepare to attack—"
"Prepare to attack—"
Orders were passed on one by one, and there was only the sound of wind on the battlefield at this time, and orders quickly spread to every corner of the battlefield.
Zhao Junsheng saw that Lai Daqian's side had already launched at this time, and immediately grabbed his spear and shouted: "Attack-" Hit the horse first and rush forward.
"Attack—"
"Attack—"
"Rush—"
"Kill—"
Row after row of horsemen rushed out, and at first they began to hold the reins in one hand and the spear in the other, which was much longer than the spear, and the spear was flat in the hand, and the head of the spear gave off a glittering cold light.
"Knock ······"
"Woo-woo-woo-" The rumbling war drums and the desolate sound of horns sounded in the rear of the military formation, and the officers and men of the cadres and soldiers only felt that the blood in their bodies was boiling when they heard these two sounds, and they instinctively yelled and rushed towards the enemy at an accelerated speed.
The combined forces of the two sides had 45,000 cavalry, and such a large-scale engagement was extremely rare, and the cavalry moved as fast as a dense network of ants.
"Boom ······" The front cavalry of the two sides collided together, and suddenly countless people turned on their backs, blood splattered, and stumps and broken arms scattered in all directions.
The heavy armored iron cavalry appeared strongly, and the enemy cavalry rushing towards the opposite side was killed and wounded in one face, and the Chinese army that came to Daqian was crushed in a few breaths, leaving only a place of horse corpses, human corpses and countless swords, guns, swords, and halberds where the heavy armored iron cavalry passed.
"Kill, kill, kill-" Zhao Junsheng, like the rest of the cavalry, roared while killing the enemy, in such a battlefield, no matter who would be affected, he followed everyone to roar and fight with all his strength until the last trace of strength was used up.
"Puff ······" The spear in Zhao Junsheng's hand kept stabbing out, stabbing six or seven times a second, taking away several lives each time, and the blood of the enemy kept splashing on his body and face.
It has been several years, Zhao Junsheng has not fought like this, and on such a battlefield, he can exert his force to his heart's content, and vent the negative emotions that have accumulated on weekdays.
It seemed that only a moment later, Zhao Junsheng felt that the front was empty, and it turned out that he had already killed the enemy army.
Some of the remaining enemy troops in the enemy army were standing alone on the battlefield at this time, and they reflected it, screaming and turning around and fleeing.
"Order, the heavy armored iron cavalry is divided into two parts, and charge towards the rear of the enemy's left and right flanks respectively!"
Under Zhao Junsheng's order, the heavily armored iron cavalry completed the turn as fast as possible, and killed the rear of the enemy's two flanks in two separate positions.
"Kill—"
The enemy cavalry, who were fighting with the cavalry on the left and right flanks of the cadre army, found that their rear was under attack, and immediately became confused.
"Chase-" Zhao Junsheng yelled, grabbed the spear, and killed four enemy cavalry who fled from his side, and led the cadres and generals to chase and kill the enemy army all the way.
After the formation of a large-scale rout, Lai Daqian could no longer control the situation, and the wounded him, under the escort of the generals and the second son, fled in the direction of Pingcheng with the remnants of the defeated generals.
Zhao Junsheng led the generals to chase after him in the rear, and he couldn't keep chasing after him at other times, but at this time, Zhao Junsheng had no scruples, and the courage of Lai Daqian and his soldiers and horses had been completely crushed head-on, where was the courage to fight back at this time, and they didn't have time to arrange an ambush.
Lai Daqian looked back, and found that there were fewer and fewer cavalry behind him, and the cadres were chasing after him in the rear, so he immediately said to his second son: "If we go to Pingcheng, the cadres will chase all the way to Pingcheng, and then your eldest brother's 3,000 men and horses will be crushed. ”
Laiti turned his head to look, and saw that the cadres were closely pursuing behind, and there were constantly routs being killed, so he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Yes, father!" ”
