Chapter 671: All or Nothing

The 5,000 Guanning army rushed to the Wei army array, because of the distance, the two adjacent phalanxes could not be supported by firearms, so they could only fire artillery bombardment.

Wu Sangui led a 5,000-horse army, cruising on the left flank, and the phalanxes on both sides did not dare to move, for fear of messing up the formation and suffering a cavalry raid.

In this way, it is equivalent to more than 1,200 Wei troops, facing 5,000 Guanning troops, but Guanning iron cavalry is powerful, and foot combat may not be possible.

Infantry combat requires the coordination of formations and soldiers, although the Guanning army has also practiced, but after all, it is not an infantry army, and the equipment is different from the infantry army.

The three-eyed gun in Guan Ningjun's hand can be released far away when riding and fighting, and it can be smashed close to people, but in foot combat, it is a little chicken.

Xia Guo fought with the Wei army's infantry army, and knew the strength of the Wei army's infantry army, with the scattered front of the Guanning army, I am afraid that if he did not rush forward, he would have to be killed by the Wei army.

At this time, he roared angrily, and dozens of cavalry behind him drove nearly a thousand war horses and rushed towards the Wei army's array.

The horse's hooves trampled on the ground and splashed a piece of dirt, and the deputy lieutenant in the Wei army's formation saw the horse's head surging, and the momentum was terrifying, his face changed, and he hurriedly shouted, "Put rockets, change into a horizontal formation." ”

Clouds of gunpowder smoke immediately rose from the Wei army's formation, and the rockets screamed and shot at the rushing horses, and the war horses were startled by the rockets, and there was no cavalry to control them, and when they collided with the front of the Wei army, they neighed and ran to both sides.

At this time, the Wei army's phalanx was rapidly changing formations, the left and right divisions, like two doors, a column of soldiers close to the front did not move, and then the side soldiers rotated on this axis, and the soldiers on the left and right sides immediately connected with the soldiers on the front to form a line, becoming a horizontal formation, and a division behind them, then turned back on the spot, and then marched forward in unison to strengthen the defense of the front.

And at this moment, the horses scattered, revealing the Guan Ning army behind.

"Impact!" Xia Guoxiang reined in his war horse, pointed his sword forward, and shouted at the Guan Ning army behind him.

The commander of the Wei army's array also drew his sword and roared, "Release!" ”

The sound of "bang, bang, bang" and the explosion of "boom" sounded at the same time, and the Wei army fired a volley of fire from the front, and the earth-shattering thunder was thrown, and the Guan Ning army, which rushed to the front, was immediately beaten backwards and fell, and the corpse was blown upside down.

The front of the Wei army was filled with smoke in an instant, but at this moment, the Guan Ning army, wielding a war knife, had already rushed out of the smoke and dust and approached closely.

The spearmen in front of the Wei army roared angrily, and they held their spears to meet them, and the Guan Ning army who had just rushed out was stabbed in the abdomen one after another, and his body was pushed back into the smoke and dust.

A Guan Ning soldier rushed out of the smoke and dust with a knife, and was stabbed in the abdomen by a spear of the Wei army, and the Wei army had time to draw the spear, and a Guan Ning soldier rushed up again, cutting down the Wei soldier with a knife, but then a bloody hole appeared in the chest and died on the ground.

In an instant, the two armies roared and fought together, the Guan Ning army was holding a war knife, a three-eyed gun, and some were holding a long horse lance, and the strength was four times that of the Wei army's array, but the Wei army's spears were in formation, and the fire guns were shot behind, and the earth-shaking thunder was thrown, and the Guan Ning army was killed, and they did not show their defeat.

As soon as they saw each other, the dismounted Guan Ning army did not get a bargain, and the spearmen of the Wei army had to receive the impact of the horse army, most of them were equipped with heavy armor, and the swords and arrows were difficult to hurt, they held spears and stabbed in formation, so that the Guan Ning army that ran into them were stabbed into holes.

The Guan Ning army, who was holding a war knife, couldn't cut the Wei army, and was stabbed to death one after another, and compared to the spear, what was more troublesome was the hand throwing thunder.

Guan Ningjun was crowded in one place, and when one was thrown, four or five people were killed in an instant, which made people feel terrifying.

At this time, when Xia Guoxiang saw this, he immediately commanded urgently, "Go up with a horse lance." ”

Guan Ningjun woke up like a dream, and several leaders immediately raised their horses and stabbed forward.

The horse lance is a weapon of cavalry warfare, the length is better than the spear, the Wei army formed a tight formation, unable to dodge, the spearmen in the front row were stabbed in the abdomen, and the body was immediately pushed backwards, the formation appeared loose, and was pushed out of a depression.

At this time, Wu Sangui's horse army was cruising outside the formation, and his face gradually showed an anxious look, looking at the battlefield from time to time.

"Lord Wang, it's not good! Frontal infantry retreat! Zhang Guozhu, the general of the Guanning Army, suddenly shouted.

Wu Sangui turned his head to look and saw that the Guanning infantry army had been surrounded by the Wei army's infantry on three sides, and Wu Zhimao was retreating one after another.

If the battlefield does not turn around, it is only a matter of time before the Guanning infantry army is eaten, or it is defeated.

Originally, Guan Ning's infantry army had been defeated by the firecracker, and when he saw Wu Sangui taking the lead in the charge, he rushed straight to the Wei army, and then returned to the light.

Now the Wei army is still there, but the Guanning Iron Cavalry has not made progress, and the morale is gradually gone.

The strength of the Guanning army was already less than that of the Wei army, and now Wu Sangui's 5,000 soldiers and horses have not joined the battle group, and the situation of the fighting Guanning army is quite bad.

If Guan Ning's infantry army is annihilated, Gao Yihuan will have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, then Guan Ning will be defeated, and he will lose very badly, the infantry army and Guo Tuzhuang on the right wing will be finished, and in the entire battlefield, only the five thousand horsemen behind him have a chance to escape.

For a while, Wu Sangui had the urge to pull the horse away, but he couldn't bear such a loss.

If Guan Ning's army was defeated so badly, even if he fled back to the city, he would not be able to hold Chengdu, and Sun Kewang would block the way to the south.

Sun Kewang promised not to attack the Guan Ning army for the time being, but seeing that he was defeated so badly, he would definitely not mind capturing him, and then killing him to avenge Zhang Xianzhong, and use his head to boost the morale of the Western army.

The terrain of Sichuan is closed, and the road out of Sichuan is not in the hands of the Guanning army, if defeated, Wu Sangui will become a turtle in the urn, and he will die in the attack of many parties.

At this time, he looked at the battlefield, and suddenly saw that Xia Guoxiang had shaken the first phalanx of the Wei army, he immediately pulled the reins of his horse and shouted angrily, "Follow this king!" ”

Wu Sangui looked gloomy, made a mistake with his teeth, and galloped up with a horse lance.

Five thousand elite horsemen galloped wildly, the horse army took the bow and arrow, raised it high on the horseback, pulled the bowstring to a full circle, and released an arrow in the gallop, the arrow flew over the head of Xia Guoxiang, shot at the Wei army front, a flying locust fell, and the soldiers of the Wei army were hit by arrows one after another.

"Kill!" Seeing this, Xia Guoxiang roared, stepped forward, stabbed a Wei army to death, tore the defense line open, and the Guanning army broke through the first thousand-man formation, and the soldiers poured into the melee.

The war horses galloped, the horse army broke in, and nearly 10,000 Guan Ning troops mixed with infantry and horses, and directly crashed into the second phalanx.

At this time, Bai Wenxuan had already arrived, and the two thousand soldiers and horses reinforced by the rear were already on the way.

Wu Sangui led the Guan Ning army and killed directly at the main formation of the Wei army, Gao Yihuan snorted coldly, "Looking for death, since you have entered the formation, don't think about leaving." ”

Gao Yihuan saw Wu Sangui's desperate bet, obviously running for him, he was a little nervous, but at the same time, he was a little nervous, but at the same time, he immediately raised his hand and pointed at Wu Sangui, and shouted loudly, "Who gave the Lone King Wu Sangui's head, and he was crowned the Marquis!" ”
