Chapter 668
Gongsun Kang has launched a surprise attack on Xinchang City, Yang Yi, who led the infantry, kept ordering the troops to speed up the march, in fact, even if he didn't say it at this moment, there was Gongsun Kang in front of him, which of the soldiers was not crazy to advance, just like the Art of War, fifty miles and the profit-seeking army was half to the end, the troops had long been out of formation, and the front and back were several miles apart, but when the front of the infantry was getting closer and closer to Xinchang City, the war drums in the city sounded three times.
With the sound of the drums, the scattered infantry was violently attacked, and for a while shouts rang out, and the sound of killing shook the sky, which instantly alarmed Yang Yi in the rapid advance of the Chinese army. He was completely unprepared for the sudden attack, and he was not born in the army, he panicked for a moment, and he didn't know what to do, and the soldiers on the side saw that the commander was flustered and anxious, and the rear troops had already been in chaos because of the rapid march, otherwise they would not have been attacked by the enemy, seeing that Yang Yi was hesitant, he kept urging: "Yang Changshi, what should I do now?" ”
"What to do, what to do? What do you say now!! Urged by the soldiers repeatedly, Yang Yi had no idea in his heart, made a mess, and replied angrily.
"Yang Changshi, now it is imperative to continue to advance and rush to Xinchang as soon as possible to support the major general, and at the same time organize troops to repel the attack and harass the enemy army." Ling Bing said respectfully.
"I still need you to say, but the situation of the enemy army is unknown, the strength of the army is unknown, if you rashly organize the officers and troops to resist the enemy, wouldn't it be a sheep into the mouth of a tiger!"
"In the long history, the enemy who attacked and harassed was no more than a thousand cavalry troops......"
"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Yang Yi roared angrily, glared at the herald viciously, and quickly organized five thousand foot soldiers to form a formation to retreat from the enemy. He said, well, how can there be an army at this time? It turns out that there are only a few thousand people, isn't this just a tiger to find death? Yang Yi's eyes were full of fierceness, and he thought viciously, but in an instant, he understood it all, this must be the delaying tactics of the Xinchang defenders, otherwise how could there be only a thousand people, so he immediately sent five thousand foot soldiers to meet the enemy, he understood that the infantry dealt with the cavalry. It is difficult to destroy the enemy if there are more men, and if this is really a force that is attacking and harassing for the sake of delay, it is right in the middle of it, and it is enough to send 5,000 foot soldiers to deal with it.
After Yang Yi gave the order, he quickly rushed to the direction of Xinchang, and from the cavalry attack, he began to suspect that the defenders of Xinchang must have expected the purpose of the major general's raid, so they planned to solve the major general in Xinchang in advance, and in order not to have any accidents, they would send cavalry to attack and disturb. made it impossible for him to lead the infantry to support in time, and when he thought of this, Yang Yi couldn't help but sweat for Gongsun Kang, although he was not familiar with military affairs. But they just don't know how to command the battle, and it's not that they can't see the seriousness of the situation and are anxious. Urging the infantry to speed up their march even more.
Originally, after listening to Gongsun Kang's combat deployment, Yang Yi didn't think that he really wanted to go to the front line in person, but only thought about waiting for the major general to capture the Xinchang City Gate. He would be able to easily capture Xinchang City with his army when he arrived, but he didn't expect the current situation to occur. It was completely taken advantage of by the Xinchang defenders that the infantry and cavalry could not arrive at the same time.
Yangyi did not dare to delay, and galloped up with the troops on the official road, and at this time, the fourth drum sounded above the Xinchang City Tower, which was extremely clear, they were getting closer and closer to Xinchang, but with the retreat of the scout troops led by Shiren, the mine army that had been ambushed in front of it in the early morning entered the combat state, watching the Xiangping troops getting closer and closer, they flashed on both sides of the stealth, and straightened the rope that had been prepared.
And the moment they fell, a large group of armored sergeants immediately burst out from the dark shadows on both sides, they had a clear division of labor, only for a moment, their hands raised their swords, and they killed all the fallen foot soldiers, and then quickly formed a formation, and began to slaughter these Xiangping foot soldiers who had no formation at all, and were already tired and panting.
The one-sided slaughter, Yang Yi's face turned blue, and when he finally organized the troops to meet the enemy for a long time, he found that the Xinchang infantry of less than 500 people ran away in a swarm, which made Yang Yi angry, damn it, damn the Xinchang defenders This is delaying time!
Yang Yi was tortured by the Xinchang defenders and completely lost his former demeanor, and advanced, speeding up.
But when he saw that the soldiers dared to sprint because of repeated attacks, they maintained a formation and marched quickly, but this kind of marching speed was faster than that of a snail, and there was no hope of rushing to Xinchang in advance.
Abandon the formation and accelerate forward.
Yang Yi ordered, he didn't believe that there would be an enemy attack this time, but after advancing less than a few hundred meters, the enemy's tripwire appeared again, and like the previous time, dozens of foot soldiers were tripped and fell to the ground under the untouchable defense, but this time, the attacking troops did not kill at the first time, and when the infantry who fell to the ground struggled to get up, they saw the wings shoot arrows all over the sky and shoot at the Xiangping foot soldiers who began to consciously form a formation.
As soon as an arrow flew out, it shot Xiangping's foot soldier on his back, and the ghost cried wolf, although many people used shields to resist, but in an instant, more than 100 people were shot into a hornet's nest.
The second wave of arrows rained again, this time the guarded Xiangping defenders did not suffer large casualties, and attacked the two wings while defending, cautiously, but as before, they had not yet come to the front, and they saw a large group of more than 1,000 Xinchang defenders on both wings withdrew.
Unwilling to face the enemy head-on, he is just constantly harassing and delaying time.
Yang Yi's eyes were gloomy, but he didn't dare to be careless anymore, just slow down, it's better than being attacked again, right? Tens of thousands of foot soldiers formed a phalanx and began to advance, moving forward less than 100 meters, so that Yang Yi had to admire his foresight, only to see that the Xinchang defenders really appeared in front, but this time they were waiting for the battle.
I was proud in my heart, if I didn't form a formation, I would inevitably be attacked again.
Getting closer and closer, under the moonlight, I saw a young general sitting on the war horse before the enemy formation, majestic, holding a machete, the blade is in the shape of a long strip, the blade is similar to the Qinglong Yanyue knife in the shape of a half-moon, but the blade is not drawn, the knife is eight feet nine inches long, weighs fifty-two pounds and three taels, the big knife dances in the air and stagnates, the blade points to the direction of the enemy formation, and Lang shouted: "Gongsun Kang is dead, you don't retreat quickly, and then there is hesitation, you must wait for death and no place to be buried." ”
This sound resounded like thunder in the wilderness, not that his voice was as amazing as Zhang Fei, but the news of Gongsun Kang's death in his mouth was too shocking, and in an instant, everyone in the Xiangping army was restless and in an uproar, but Yang Yi didn't believe the fact that Gongsun Kang was dead, so he hurriedly came out of the crowd and shouted: "Huangkou Xiaoer, who is you, who dares to disturb our army's heart here!" ”
"Who am I?" The young man looked arrogant, looked at the world, and said: "Listen, I am Xinchang Bingcao, and Zong Kai is also!" ”
"Zong Kai? Nobody, since you said that the major general has been killed, then even if I fight to the death today, I will avenge the major general, and all the troops will obey the order, and no one will be left, kill me! (To be continued......)
