Chapter 4 Section 55 The Boundary Bridge
Chapter 4 Section 55 The Boundary Bridge
Koji Yi waved his army into the boundary bridge, and Yan Gang, the general of Gongsun Zhan's department, saw that the momentum was not right, and he was afraid that the army would retreat one after another, lose morale, and could not fight again. So he ordered his subordinates to shout loudly and urge the army to attack. All of a sudden, the military flag fluttered and the momentum was immense.
When Koji Yi saw Yan Gang attacking, he gave an order, and his subordinates took a foothold on the north bank of the boundary bridge and shot Yan Gang across the river with archers. Yan Gang was caught off guard and suffered a serious blow, and the overwhelming rain of arrows caused them to fall in rows, and then, Yan Gang's troops had to dodge while retreating, gradually withdrawing from the river bank and retreating beyond the range of the opponent's arrows.
Seeing this, Yan Gang hurriedly urged the horse to come to the bridge, personally restrain the soldiers, and command the battle. Between the reprimands, the declining situation was stabilized, and the soldiers gradually calmed down and gathered on the other side of the river, ready to cross the river again to attack.
Seeing that the chaos in Yan Gang's headquarters was gradually subsiding, Koji Yi knew that something was wrong, so he led 200 archers, taking advantage of the chaos of the enemy army as a cover, and quietly hid to the edge of the boundary bridge. Koji Yi secretly ordered the archers to aim in the direction, and with an order, a hundred crossbows were fired in unison, and Koji Yi shouted even louder, and rode in the lead, rushing across the boundary bridge.
Yan Gang only cared about rectifying the soldiers, and suddenly, he encountered a downpour of arrows and was immediately beaten.
Yan Gang is Gongsun Zhan's confidant general, and he is wearing a unicorn armor from Izumo, and he is also wearing leather armor - the unicorn armor is made of all-metal, and if it does not wear leather armor, it will wear away the skin - this rain of arrows shot from a wooden bow caused him few casualties, however, the horse under his crotch could not withstand such a blow, and with a wail, the war horse fell to death, which happened to suppress Yan Gang's calf.
Without waiting for Yan Gang to pull out his legs, the soldiers led by Koji Yi rushed in, and Yan Gang's army was in chaos. Koji Yi slapped the horse and danced the knife and rushed close to Yan Gang, and cut Yan Gang into two sections with one knife.
Gongsun Zhan's army was defeated, and the left and right wings saw the Chinese army retreating and wanted to come to the rescue. The Koji rebels approached the riverbank, and 10,000 crossbows fired in unison, shooting at the left and right flanks of the Zan army. There are more horses than arrows, and more people than there are bows. After Koji killed Yan Gang, he stopped for a while, and then rushed to the body of the general of Yan Gang's army
side, cut the flag down.
The military system of the Zan army mainly imitated the Izumo army, and in this middle, the 500 Gongsun Jiading trained by Liu Bei played a major role. Gongsun Zhan completely copied Liu Bei's "Legion Order Banner and Military Trumpet", which has nearly 1,000 pages, involving dozens of various flags, hundreds of various military trumpet instructions, and all actions and orders are accompanied by detailed explanations. Gongsun soldiers must be familiar with these contents. No matter how brave a warrior is, if he is not familiar with these regulations, he will not be promoted, but will only be an ordinary soldier forever.
The flag of the Yan Gang Army fell, which meant that the former army was completely annihilated. Gongsun Zhan saw the fall of the military flag in the rear army and knew that the situation was not good. stopped the persuasion of the generals around him, and said angrily: "Today, if you don't win, you will die." Forward, or there is a way to live, and those who retreat are killed. ”
Seeing that Gongsun Zhan had made up his mind to die, Tian Kai, the general of the Zhan army, turned around and went to the front line without saying a word. Seeing this, he also went away generously. Gongsun Chan broke the horsewhip to show that he would never retreat. After this encouragement, the morale of the Zan army rebounded. Under the counterattack led by Gongsun Chan himself, the Koji soldiers who crossed the river were defeated.
Youzhou Iron Cavalry, perennial battle with Xianbei, although the most elite White Horse Yicong was wiped out, but the rest of the cavalry launched a ruthless attack, and the few soldiers who crossed the river were far from being opponents. The cavalrymen with powerful impact and long bayonet spears easily broke the defense line of the archers crossing the river. Once the cavalry rushed close to the archers, the archers who lacked combat weapons were slaughtered one-sidedly.
On the battlefield, the horses neighed, people turned on their horses, and the beach-grabbing troops of Koji fell one by one, and the archers on the other side of the river, concerned about the safety of their comrades, did not dare to shoot arrows at the battlefield where the enemy and me were entangled, and they could not do anything about the one-sided battle that was close at hand.
In a moment, the Youzhou cavalry crossed the river and flew into the Koji Yi army, chasing the ambush shield soldiers from behind, and the cavalry rushed left and right, as if entering a no-man's land.
Yuan Shao's army was in a panic, and Lu Yi didn't know when he returned to the other side of the river and appeared in the army, and the soldiers of Yuan's army were determined.
The battle fell into a stalemate, and the Koji rebels struggled to resist the assault of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, the shield in their hands had been smashed into potholes, twisted and deformed, and their weapons had been replaced from halberds and swords and battle axes. I don't know how many wounds there were on my chest, abdomen, back, and limbs, and blood mixed with beads of sweat oozing out of my armor. It was difficult to breathe in and out, and the scorching air flow went straight to the lungs, and the blood began to clot in the chest.
Fortunately, the bridge over the Panhe River limited the room for maneuver of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, and the Koji Yijun was still struggling to hold on and persevere.
Lu Yi wiped his sweat, looked at the sky, and shouted in his mouth: "It's time, send a signal, order Yuan Tanjun to attack, attack." ”
The horn sounded, and the sound shook all over the world.
The Koji rebel army suddenly separated to both sides, and taking advantage of the cover of the chaotic situation, Yuan Tan's army, which quietly marched to the Koji rebel army, flashed out.
It was originally difficult to fight an ambush on the plain, however, Lu Yi had the courage to use the melee between the two armies to block the sight of the Zan army, so that Yuan Tanjun hurried to the rear of his own army, and he struggled to support it, and after Yuan Tanjun rested for a while and recovered his strength, he suddenly killed.
This is a new force, and the sudden addition of Yuan Tanjun suddenly tilted the balance of victory. The exhausted Chan army was immediately devastated. Koji Yi drove his troops into a big way, rushed across the bridge, and countless people died when the Zhan army fell into the water.
Tian Kai and Shan withdrew to the other side of the river, and urgently persuaded Gongsun Chan to lead the army to avoid, but Gongsun Chan refused to give up.
Tian Kai, Shan Jing, and Zou Dan hurriedly stepped forward to intercept Lu Yi, and the two armies were strangled together, and the situation was chaotic.
"It's time," on the east bank of the Panhe River, about five miles behind the Koji Rebels, there was a high platform, and a general on the high platform put down his binoculars and said softly.
In the center of the high platform, stands a huge flag, with yellow edges on a red background, on a fiery red satin surface, embroidered with black silk with a tiger with teeth and claws, and two wings on the ribs. At the bottom of the flag below the tiger, a jagged lightning sign runs diagonally through the entire flag, and in the blank space on the right side of the flag, there is a line of strong black characters "Momentum is like thunder".
The breeze is fierce, blowing the flag to stretch out, the hunting sounds, the tiger on the flag also has spirituality, looking from afar, as if it is driving the lightning to leap and jump, the end is extremely powerful!
Behind the high platform, 6,000 heavy helmets and heavy armor, even the black iron horses with battle armor on their horses, stood quietly in formation, and the entire army was silent, without a trace of noise.
The general on the high platform waved his hand, and the 6,000 heavy cavalry silently raised the four-meter spear, and as the general's hand on the high platform fell, the 6,000 spears slammed into the ground.
"Thunder" - 6,000 voices roared from the visor, and at that moment, the heavens and the earth seemed to tremble, and the light dimmed.
Lei Qi, this is the Lei Qi who has been following Yuan Tan.
Koji Yi has always been wary of the thunder cavalry, so he put Yuan Tanjun behind the formation and guarded the thunder cavalry. However, Lei Qi never made a hostile expression, and the development of the battle situation forced Lu Yi to invest in Yuan Tan's army to repel the last crazy counterattack of the Zan army. At the same time, in order to guard against the thunder cavalry, Koji Yi's main formation was still on guard by the river after it was withdrawn.
The timing was just right, the timing was just right for Koji Yi to invest in the new force, and the timing for Gao Shun to decide to assault was also just right. The main force of the enemy army has crossed the river to fight, the new force has been put into battle, the tired army has not yet recovered its physical strength, at this time to launch an attack, the rescue of the soldiers crossing the river is difficult to reach, after the bitter battle of the Koji Yi Honjin is simply impossible to resist the world's first impact of the thunder cavalry assault.
Gao Shun turned over his horse and, under the service of the soldiers, put on his battle helmet and raised his spear aloft - "Thunder".
"Thunder" - 6,000 soldiers echoed in unison.
Immediately, the drums of war slowly sounded - rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble. The sound of drums shook the soldiers' hearts, like bloodthirsty roars from the soldiers' flesh and bones.
"Thunder", Gao Shun slammed the spear in his hand and urged the horse slightly.
"Thunder", the soldier echoed, and the rolling iron flow moved slowly.
The horses' hooves rumbled, and the black-clad and black-armored cavalry gradually increased their pace. When he got closer, he could already see Yuan Jun's frightened face. Gao Shun flattened the spear and held the barrel tightly with his right arm.
The spears were flattened one by one, and in a moment, the thunder cavalry turned into a moving steel forest, and Tarzan rushed towards the Koji rebels like a crush.
Confused, flustered, frightened, frightened, and desperate, Yuan Jun's expression changed as Lei Qi seemed to press slowly and methodically. A soldier of the Yuan army couldn't stand the pressure, let out a tearing roar, threw down his weapon, turned his head and ran away without distinguishing things.
"Strike", Gao Shun issued the final attack order, and suddenly, like a giant hand, he pushed hard, and the seemingly quiet 6,000 thunder riders suddenly turned into an angry volcano, like magma rushing, roaring forward.
People are like hungry tigers and horses, and the ferocious mine cavalry crashed into the rear formation of the Koji Yi, like a giant hammer hitting an egg, only a blink of an eye, penetrating the weak Koji Yi army formation, the paper-like rear army was shattered, the soldiers scattered and fled, and the Lei Cai pursued and killed along the way.
The changes in the rear formation were quickly teleported to the other side of the river, to Koji Yi, who was fighting with Gongsun Zhan.
"What?" Lu Yi looked at Gongsun Chan who was clearly visible on the opposite side, and said unwillingly: "Give me some more time, give me some more time, as long as I work harder, I will kill Gongsun Zhan, and then I will return to the army to fight Liu Bei again, and our army will win a complete victory." ”
The small colonel of the report took the reins of the horse and hurriedly said: "General, the thunder cavalry advance has reached the river bank, once the other party refuses the river to block the attack, even if our army wins, it will not be able to advance or retreat." ”
Ko Yi was shocked again: "100,000 horses, can't stop 6,000 cavalry, impossible!" Order the soldiers to resist for a few more moments, our army is already victorious, wait for me to return,"
The young colonel did not relax the reins of the horse, and persuaded him: "General, Lei Cai is wearing heavy armor, even the horses are wearing full armor, and there are metal sharp thorns on the horse's forehead, and our army's bow and arrow are difficult to hurt. Lei Cai's spear pierced several soldiers, and after destroying the front line of our army, he was relying on the sharp thorns on the horse's forehead to rush and trample on our soldiers, who had never seen such a fierce monster and were in a panic. If the general does not return to preside over the overall situation, after the collapse of our army, even if the general wins here, it will not help. ”
Koji Yi regretted: "100,000 soldiers, although there are many battles, how can there be 80,000 people left, as long as I can block the thunder cavalry for a while, block it for a while, I can end the battle here, and return to the army to meet the thunder cavalry with a victorious army." Is it really impossible to support even a moment's effort? ”
The junior colonel was silent, nodded with tears, and Ko Yi immediately decided: "Withdraw the army, and the whole army will meet the thunder cavalry." ”
On the bank of the Pan River, Gao Shun rushed to the edge of the boundary bridge, suddenly reined in his horse, raised his spear and shouted: "The whole army stops, form a formation." ”
The subordinates were eager to try: "General, there are more than 30 pontoon bridges, our army is divided into six thousand people, and each thousand people can be divided into five pontoon bridges. ”
Gao Shun looked at the generals who didn't know the height of the sky, and said decisively: "The cavalry crossed the river and looked for death by themselves." The order was that the divisions should take the brigade (about 1,000 men) as units and rush along the river, and the 1st and 2nd brigades would rest here as reserves and prepare for another battle. Tell all brigades that it is strictly forbidden to step on the pontoon bridge and pursue until it reaches the river. ”
Koji returned to the army and stopped slightly on the other side of the river. Gongsun Zhan's army has been crippled and is unable to pursue, in order to prevent accidents, Lu Yi sorted out the army by the river and monitored Gongsun Chan to sort out the remnants of the army.
On the other side of the river, the soldiers of the Yuan army kept wailing, and the rumbling thunder cavalry pursued the Liyi soldiers along the river, and the Liyi soldiers who had nowhere to escape rushed into the cold river water, and the corpses floating on the river were everywhere, and the sound of dying struggles, screams of pain, and cries for help from the drowned sounded together.
Koji Yi hurriedly mobilized the remnants of the archers and held on to the river: "It's not the river, they don't come by the river." "Koji Yi was at a loss, the cavalry could only advance slowly on the bridge, and the cavalry, which had lost its impact, encountered archers, and could only be beaten. Once the heavily armored Lei Cavalry crossed the river, it fell into the trap of Koji Yi.
However, Gao Shun actually did not cross the river, and Lei Cai even stayed away from the soft land on the river bank, only rushing back and forth on the river embankment, so that the attack and defense were easy to attack, no matter where Koji Yi mobilized infantry and prepared to cross the river, Lei Cai would rely on his horse to be fast, like a wolf smelling meat, running from all directions to block Koji's attack.
Koji Yi gradually felt that there was nothing he could do, and organized eleven charges in a row, all of which were repelled by the thunder cavalry one by one. On the other side of the river, the soldiers of the Yuan army gradually fled, and the resistance became weaker and weaker. Our army relied on the boundary bridge to defeat Gongsun Zhan's army, and now, Liu Bei also relied on the boundary bridge to intercept and kill our army. If the time drags on any longer, once Gongsun Chan has sorted out the remnants of the army, he will also begin to flank our army, and today, my Liyi will be buried in Panhe. ”
The situation was in a crisis, Koji Yi made a desperate bet, divided the army into three groups, the middle two ways attacked the Gao Shun army, and the other road was delayed, and when the thunder cavalry and the soldiers were entangled, he personally led the last elite to go around the pontoon bridge farthest from the battlefield and quietly cross the river.
"It finally worked." Koji Yi was secretly happy in his heart, and there was something to do, so he gathered his soldiers and fought again.
