Chapter Ninety-Six: Engagement
"Your Highness......" Fei Mu heard Yuan Zhao call his name, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "General Yang has a point, just let the cavalry charge into battle, there is no depth, it is tantamount to throwing yourself into a dead end." ”
"Is there no one who does not die in war?" Yuan Zhao said nonchalantly, "Could it be that our brigade came here and withdrew without letting go of a single fart?" ”
"Your Highness, there will definitely be a war today, let's come here like this today, firstly, to let the defenders of Vortex Yang see us, and secondly, to test the combat effectiveness of the Liang army." Yang Zhao said unhurriedly, "But you can't rely on cavalry alone to impact the Liang army's formation. ”
"Then how is Imperial Envoy Yang going to fight?"
"The formation of the infantry attacking the Liang army from the left and right flanks, the cavalry is cruising behind, if the soldiers in the middle of the Liang army try to support the two wings, the formation will inevitably be loose at this time, and at that time, it is the time for the cavalry to rush straight to the middle."
"Hehe, as long as it's not a trip for nothing, then I'll leave it to you to arrange, and this king is here to watch Imperial Envoy Yang's military skills." Yuan Zhao leaned on the backrest and stretched hard.
"Fei Mu, you lead the cavalry." Yang Zhao ordered loudly, "Who wants to take the infantry to take the lead?" ”
"Teacher, students are willing to make meritorious contributions!" Li Changjun stood up first.
Yang Zhao looked at him and said lightly, "The sword and gun have no eyes, you have to be careful." ”
"Teachers rest assured that students will take the lead and sacrifice their lives for the country."
"Donate?" Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows, "You are still useful to my Great Wei, and it is best to survive." ”
"General Yang, on this occasion of charging into battle, how can there be no poor monks." Huitong also stood up, "Let's go with this Li Gongzi." ”
Yang Zhao nodded, "Okay, then the two of you will lead a team of infantry to attack the right end of the Liang army's formation." As for the left......"
Before he finished speaking, an extremely arrogant voice sounded, "General Yang, you specially called Young Master Ben, it won't be for us to come and see the excitement, right?" ”
Yang Zhao hurriedly turned his head to look over, only to see a young man with white powder on his face, heavy eye shadow and bright red lips walking towards him - this was the "White Rakshasa" Su Gu Zongyin he specially invited to help this time.
"Oh, it's the young master from afar." Yang Zhao said with a smile.
"General Yang, leave the left side to us," Su Gu Zong Yin shook his neck and shook his wrist, "It's time for Young Master Ben to move." ”
"Since Young Master Su Gu took the initiative to ask for battle, then there will be labor." Yang Zhao readily agreed.
"Master Hua, let's go." Yin Chao of the Bone Sect said a one-eyed veteran who was closely following behind him. This veteran is Hua Shun, although he followed behind the Su Gu Sect Yin, but for Yang Zhao who was standing in front of him, he never looked at it directly, and he didn't even salute Yang Zhao when he left, completely ignoring his existence.
Obviously, Hua Shun heard what Yang Zhao did to his brother, and he was extremely disdainful of him in his heart.
According to Yang Zhao's arrangement, the Wei army began to act.
The infantry lined up in several phalanxes and marched methodically towards the Liang army's defensive line.
When they came within range of Liang's bows and arrows, they immediately raised their shields to defend against Liang's stormy arrows.
Although people kept falling to the ground with arrows, the Wei army still maintained the rhythm of advance and did not panic.
Under such a rain of arrows, it can be maintained that the formation is tight, which shows that the Wei army has also undergone strict training, because once the soldiers are flustered and the formation is loose, they can only wait to be shot into hedgehogs.
The Liang army's arrows covered the sky, and waves of whistling continued to cross the Wei army's heads, and after many soldiers who were hit by arrows fell along the way, the Wei army finally advanced to a distance of only twenty paces from the Liang army's defense line.
The charge has just begun!
The Wei army shouted wildly, and according to the established plan, it attacked both ends of the Liang army's formation with great ferocity.
They cut the ropes that connected the vehicles and threw their bodies violently at Liang's heavy shields, hoping to break through a gap.
They are like waves constantly lapping on the embankment, swift, furious, and powerful! Even if you are crushed after the violent collision, you still go forward and follow suit, at any cost!
Not to be outdone, the Liang army held their ground, did not back down a single step, and met the surging enemy with dense spear tips and sharp blades.
And those Liang army crossbowmen behind the fence were even more condescending at this moment, firing dense and fierce arrows like flying locusts at the Wei army crowded in front of the formation.
Blood splattered, and the two sides crowded together, desperately stabbing each other's fiery chests with the cold iron blades in their hands.
The battle was fierce and stalemate, but the Liang soldiers did not panic, even if they were attacked by the Wei army at both ends, the Liang army in the middle still stood tall, firmly maintaining the integrity of the defense line.
Wei Fang saw the intention of the Wei army, which was to exert pressure at both ends and force the soldiers in the middle to support, and he shouted to the soldiers under his command, "Brothers! Be sure to hold steady and don't leave your position! Steady! ”
"It's not a way to go on like this, you can't break through the defense line of the Liang army." The White Rakshasa Bone Sect Yin, who was supervising the battle not far away, looked at the melee in front of him and said to himself.
"There is no loosening in the middle of the Liang army, so it can be seen that the pressure at both ends is not enough." Li Changjun, who was in charge of the attack at the other end, looked a little worried.
"The poor monk will go in person," Huitong, who was standing behind Li Changjun, spoke, "Someone must personally lead the soldiers to charge into battle." ”
"Master Huitong is right," Hua Shun, who was standing behind the White Rakshasa, said approvingly, "I'll leave it to the old man here, and I'll set an example for these juniors!" ”
White Rakshasa nodded slightly, although his tone seemed as flat as water, he still admonished, "Master Hua, be careful." ”
Here, Li Changjun also bowed down to greet Huitong, "There is Master Lao, the sword has no eyes, take care." ”
Hua Shun and Hui Tong raised their weapons and strode towards the place of battle.
Hua Shun came to the back of the team of the Su Gu family who attacked the left end of the Liang army, slashed the big knife in his hand, and shouted, "Children, show your momentum, the old man will rush to kill the enemy with you!" ”
"It's Daddy! Daddy is here! Hearing Hua Shun's voice, the soldiers of the Su Bone family all showed happy expressions on their faces, and they all made way for Hua Shun, and there was a burst of cheers at the outbreak, and their morale became high.
Although these soldiers of the Su Bone family are all arrogant and fierce outlaws, they are obedient to Huashun, a veteran, and Huashun loves and cares about them on weekdays, so they are affectionately called "Daddy" by these soldiers.
Huashun's imminent battle made the morale of the Su Gu family burst out, and they launched an even more crazy and ferocious attack on the Liang army; On the other end, Huitong also raised the morale of the Wei soldiers, and they followed Wei Tuo's iron rod and attacked the Liang army's defense line with a more violent attitude.
Liang Jun, who originally seemed to be at ease, was a little flustered at the moment, they didn't know why Wei Jun suddenly broke out with such a violent momentum, even in the face of death, it seemed that he had no scruples.
The Liang army at both ends was a little unbearable, at such a critical moment, did the Liang army in the middle still not go to support?
