Volume VII The Bloody Battle in the Southwest

Chapter 3 Tiger Ben's Bloody War Quells Rebellion

Section 9 The Battle of the Five Armies (4)

Seeing that the rebels of the three routes had been killed, Liu Yunwei immediately roared: "Beat the drums of war!" The phalanx in the back row of the large array rushed to the two flanks to defend, and at the same time ordered the cavalry battalion under the Tiger Battalion and the Longxiang Iron Cavalry to attack, delaying the offensive of the rebels in the south and north! Artillery array ready! Give me a fierce bombardment of the extravagant Chongming department in the east, and defeat the extravagant Chongming department first! ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The majestic war drums sounded loudly in the large array of the Hanwei army, and dozens of heralds rode their horses through the large array, conveying Liu Yunwei's general orders in a timely and accurate manner, and sending the situation and reply letters of the various departments of the army to Liu Yunwei.

After a while, more than 1,700 iron cavalry soldiers of the Tiger Battalion killed the rebel reinforcements coming from the north, and Guo Yi also led the Long Xiang Iron Cavalry to rush south, and launched a charge against the 20,000 rebels led by An Bangyan. At the same time, the Hanwei army's large array also began to change, and the two infantry phalanxes in the back row began to move, one left and one right took over the defensive positions of the two iron cavalry armies, firmly guarding the two wings of the Hanwei army's large array. Thousands of soldiers from the two baggage battalions of the Chinese army drove to the rear of the large array, and the soldiers picked up their weapons one after another and guarded the back of the army as reserves.

At this time, Edward's ugly voice came again, echoing in the sky above the artillery array of the Hanwei army: "The big Buddha Lang machine is ready!" Preparation! Put! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"Reload the artillery! Preparation! Put! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

A total of 50 large Buddha cannons in the Hanwei army artillery battalion began to roar, and the 10,000 rebels in front of the large array were suddenly hit by fierce artillery fire, and dozens of hot cannons smashed into the rebels' phalanx, which immediately beat the morale of tens of thousands of rebels sharply, and the entire phalanx also became crumbling.

Seeing this, Hao Chongming, who was in command of the formation, was very anxious, and immediately sent guards to supervise the battle, and at the same time ordered the army to speed up the march, striving to rush to the front of the Hanwei army's large array in the shortest possible time, and engage the opponent in a short battle!

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

After another round of fierce shelling, tens of thousands of rebels finally rushed to a place two hundred steps away from the Hanwei army's main array under the strict supervision of Yu Chongming, and the rebel soldiers who rushed to the front could even see the faces of the Hanwei army's gunners.

At this moment, the sixty Tiger Venerable cannons in the Hanwei Army Artillery Camp began to wield their might. This time, Edward ordered the gunners to load all the Tiger Zun cannons with scattered shells, and the dense scattered shells fired by the salvo of sixty Tiger Zun cannons formed an impermeable wall of death in an instant, and wherever this wall of death passed, the nearby rebel soldiers all screamed and fell to the ground, at least hundreds of rebel soldiers were hit by the cannons, and the charge of the entire rebel phalanx suddenly stalled. The rebel soldiers who died on the spot were very lucky, but those rebel soldiers who had not lost their breath for a while were not so lucky, and could only lie in the blood and bear inhuman pain.

The surrounding rebel soldiers who were lucky enough to be hit were all frightened when they saw the scene in front of them, and their morale was suddenly greatly discouraged, and the morale of the army was greatly moved, and the momentum of the army's charge slowed down, and even many rebel soldiers began to dodge.

Suddenly, there was a swan whistle from the Hanwei army, and the gunners retreated one after another. Immediately afterwards, more than 3,000 soldiers of the Hanwei Army with well-armed birds rushed up and began to form a formation less than 100 paces away from the rebel phalanx.

Seeing this, Yu Chongming's scalp was suddenly numb, the 10,000 army under his command had already suffered hundreds of casualties, and the army was already moved, if it was beaten by the sharp fire array of the Han Wei army, there would be no need to fight this battle, and the army under his command would definitely retreat!

"Disband the phalanx! Dissolve the phalanx! The whole army charged, killed and fought with the officers and soldiers in hand-to-hand combat! Yu Chongming immediately made a decision and immediately ordered the army to launch a fierce attack.

At this time, tens of thousands of rebel soldiers also discovered the Hanwei army bird gunners who were forming a team in front of them, and they all knew the strength of the other party, and after hearing the order given by the main general, they all went crazy and charged. Under the wild rush of tens of thousands of people, its momentum was not inferior to the iron cavalry charge, and in a blink of an eye, it rushed to the front of the bird gun array, and the two sides were only more than 20 miles apart.

"Put! Three rows of volleys! Put! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

After an earth-shattering loud noise, the front of the Han Wei army was suddenly enveloped in a thick cloud of white smoke, and the strong smell of gunpowder smoke filled it, making it impossible to breathe. The soldiers of the Hanwei army could no longer see anything in front of them, and could only hear the screams of the rebel soldiers one after another in front of them, as well as the muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Zhao Kaishan and Wang Zhi stood in the middle of the formation and stared at the front tightly, both wondering if the blow just now had already routed the rebels.

Suddenly, many dark shadows appeared from the smoke that had not yet dissipated, and then countless rebel soldiers who had already gone crazy rushed out of the smoke belt and slammed into more than 3,000 bird-swordsmen. For a time, more than 3,000 bird-screws of the Hanwei Army were caught off guard, and many soldiers fell in pools of blood.

Seeing this, Zhao Kaishan was furious, and hurriedly ordered all the birdmen to retreat to the Chinese army to rest, and then ordered the two infantry phalanxes in front to go up and start a bloody battle with the rebels.

As soon as the words fell, Wang Zhi roared and led his fifty soldiers to rush forward. Most of the bird-gunners in front had already retreated, and thousands of frantic rebel soldiers were in hot pursuit, and soon collided with the Hanwei army formation that had rushed to support. In an instant, the frontal battlefield was filled with murderous sounds that stained the earth with blood.

Just when the front of the Hanwei army was engaged in a fierce battle, on the left flank battlefield, more than 1,700 iron cavalry soldiers of the Huben battalion also collided with the 15,000 rebels in front of them, and the two sides started a fierce battle.

I saw that the cavalry battalion led more than 1,700 iron cavalry soldiers to rush all the way, rampage in the rebel formation, and only used one charge to kill the rebel array, and intercepted the 15,000 rebels who were charging. But correspondingly, the 1,000 and hundreds of iron cavalry soldiers were inevitably encircled.

One of the leaders of the rebel army kept shouting loudly, commanding his army to besiege the Iron Cavalry of the Tiger Camp from all directions, wanting to kill all the more than 1,000 Iron Cavalry in front of him by virtue of his absolute superiority in strength.

However, the reality is always much more cruel than imagined.

It was already a miracle that the rebels, whose formation was already scattered, were able to surround a thousand or hundreds of elite iron horsemen while still being able to charge and kill them with all their might. You must know that in such a plain area, elite iron cavalry can often break through several times, or even ten times the infantry phalanx, not to mention the more than 10,000 rebels who have no formation to speak of.

As a result, under the gaze of the rebel leader who was almost about to burst into flames, the iron cavalry soldiers of the Huben battalion continued to rush left and right, and on the battlefield as if they were in no man's land, the rebel soldiers along the way were either killed one after another, or fled in all directions, and could not be stopped at all.

"Someone! Pikemen assembled! Rush with me! ”

The rebel leader couldn't sit still, and if he continued like this, his army of more than 10,000 people would be scattered. So, the leader hurriedly summoned all the pikemen around him, and rushed towards the army of iron cavalry in the distance. After the time of the half-pillar of incense, the rebel leader led his army to stop directly in front of the Iron Cavalry.

"Dense formation! Raise the spear! ”

Hundreds of rebels raised their spears one after another, and suddenly formed a dense "jungle" in front of the Iron Cavalry Army of the Tiger Battalion, blocking the way of the Iron Cavalry soldiers.

In an instant, the dozen or so iron cavalry soldiers who rushed to the front did not have time to slow down, and slammed into the spear array, killing even the men and horses on the spot. The rebels' spear formations were also knocked down and killed by a dozen people. Seeing this, the thousands of iron cavalry soldiers behind tightened their reins and slowed down, trying to continue to charge from the side, bypassing the rebels' spear formation.

Seeing that the charging speed of the Tiger Battalion Iron Cavalry was inevitably contained, the rebel leader was immediately overjoyed, and immediately shouted loudly to order the surrounding rebels to besiege him.

All of a sudden, the situation of the Iron Cavalry of the Tiger Battalion became extremely dangerous.

On the right flank of the Hanwei army's array, Guo Yi led the Longxiang Iron Cavalry to also fall into a bitter battle. Although the Longxiang Iron Cavalry has 5,000 elite soldiers, and its combat power is far beyond the ordinary Iron Cavalry army, An Bangyan's subordinates who are fighting against the Longxiang Iron Cavalry are also brave.

After An Bangyan received an urgent letter from Yu Chongming, he immediately pulled out most of the army under his command, and the 30,000 army dispatched 20,000! Moreover, the 20,000-strong army is still the old team that An Jia has worked hard for so many years, and many of the rebel soldiers are Tusi wolf soldiers recruited by An Jia from Guangxi, and their combat power is very considerable.

The moment Guo Yi led the Long Xiang Iron Cavalry to charge into battle, he felt the strength of An Bangyan's troops. Five thousand heavily armed iron cavalry could only rush into the rebel array for more than 100 steps, Guo Yi wanted to lead the army to rush in some more, but found that he couldn't rush in anyway, the speed of the iron cavalry army dropped in a very short time, and the casualties of the iron cavalry soldiers also increased sharply.

"An Bangyan's department is specialized in iron riding!"

Guo Yi looked around, most of the rebels under An Bangyan's command used spears, halberds, javelins, crossbow arrows, and many people used hooks and sickles and maces, all of which could cause huge damage to the Iron Cavalry Army! Moreover, the formation of the rebel army under An Bangyan's department is also far tighter than that of the extravagant Chongming department, and the 20,000 rebel soldiers are almost crowded and crowded, and the entire large array can be said to be impenetrable!

"Rush out! Rush out! ”

Under the leadership of Guo Yi, Long Xiang Iron Cavalry fought desperately out of the rebel array, and after running hundreds of steps, he began to regroup. At this time, Guo Yi looked at the rebel brigade that continued to rush towards the Hanwei army's large array in the distance, and his heart was full of unwillingness, but he could not lead the Long Xiang Iron Cavalry to attack the rebel formation head-on.

"What to do!"

Guo Yi's heart was full of entanglements and worries.
