Volume VII The Bloody Battle in the Southwest

Chapter 1 Divide the army and fight the traitors in three ways

Section 12 Unexpected Fierce Battles (2)

Seeing that the 3,000 officers and iron cavalry in the distance were rapidly sweeping, he was immediately horrified, and hurriedly mobilized a thousand pikemen to bypass the battlefield where the battle was raging, and reached the front of the attack of the 3,000 dragon cavalry, wanting to use these 1,000 lives to delay the attack speed of the official army and the iron cavalry, and create time for the main army to annihilate the 2,000 officers and soldiers who were already surrounded in the formation.

Soon, Liu Yunwei looked at the thousands of rebels who had lined up with guns in the distance, his eyes were full of contempt, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Turn around!" The whole army is marching to the right! ”

"Woo~~~" The low horn sounded, and the army of Longxiang Iron Cavalry immediately changed its formation.

The three thousand dragon cavalry soldiers immediately turned to the right front, and the three thousand brave knights and the three thousand horses of the divine horses galloped through the front of the battlefield in unison, leaving only a thousand stunned rebel soldiers in the smoke and dust that covered the sky.

And extravagant also saw this incredible scene on the battlefield, in his memory, it seems that only the Hu people on the northern grassland will have such exquisite riding skills, and there will be such elite iron horses! When did the Ming Dynasty have such an elite army of iron cavalry?

Without having time to think about it, he hurriedly ordered the 1,000 pikemen to rush to the right flank of the battlefield, and at the same time mobilized 800 pikemen again to urgently reinforce the right flank. However, Xuan Xiang then saw an even more desperate scene: he saw that the 3,000 iron cavalry of the official army in the distance turned again, and the 3,000 iron cavalry army suddenly turned to the left and rushed towards the rear of the battlefield, killing the weakest weakness of the rebels' defense!

"Reinforcements to the rear! Soldiers, follow me! ”

Extravagant roared loudly, his voice was no longer like a human voice, and he immediately led more than 2,000 people around him to rush towards the rear of the battlefield, and at the same time urgently ordered the 1,000 or more pikemen mobilized before to rush to the rear to reinforce. However, the three thousand dragon cavalry led by Liu Yunwei came too quickly, and the rebel soldiers who rushed to the rear of the battlefield could not gain a firm foothold before they ran into the fierce iron cavalry army head-on.

"Kill! Speed up the charge! ”

Liu Yunwei rushed into the crowd of rebels, while struggling to kill the surrounding rebel soldiers, while roaring loudly, as if a killing god descended from the sky, the surrounding rebel soldiers saw Liu Yunwei's terrifying appearance, they were all frightened and avoided from afar, and they didn't dare to come forward to intercept at all.

And then the three thousand dragon and iron cavalry soldiers who entered the crowd were no better than Liu Yunwei, all of them were like man-eating tigers, killing the rebels was like chopping melons and vegetables. The 3,000 iron cavalry was like a huge stone crusher, crushing the rebels who had not had time to form a dense formation from end to end, leaving only dead bodies everywhere and routs fleeing in panic.

Extravagant looked at the iron cavalry army as if it had entered a no-man's land with a horrified expression, and a thought immediately came to his mind: "This battle is over!" It's time to find a way to escape! ”

As a result, Hao Xiang immediately ordered the remaining thousands of troops to be divided into three, and 2,000 soldiers and horses were assigned to continue to drag the 2,000 infantry Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers led by Guo Yi, and 3,000 soldiers and horses were assigned to entangle the Longxiang Iron Cavalry led by Liu Yunwei; And Hao Xiang himself retreated to the northwest with more than 1,000 people who could still command, preparing to flee into Dajian Mountain. As for the remaining soldiers, extravagance has completely given up.

At the same time, Liu Yunwei, who was leading the army to charge, also noticed the movement of the rebels' soldiers and horses, and immediately shouted: "The rebels want to flee!" Hasten! Kill the enemy general! ”

While giving orders, Liu Yunwei searched for the flags of the rebel generals in the chaotic battlefield. But the big melee of 10,000 people, not only the scope of the battlefield is very large, but also the people shouting and neighing are very noisy, the scene is extremely chaotic, and there are swords and swords everywhere, and people and horses clashes, how easy is it to quickly find a flag in such an environment?

Liu Yunwei looked around, and there were people fighting to the death everywhere, and he couldn't tell which flag was the rebel general's flag. In desperation, Liu Yunwei had no choice but to continue to lead the army to charge and kill the rebels, so as to end the battle in the shortest possible time.

Just when Liu Yunwei was struggling to kill the enemy, Guo Yi also led two thousand Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers and two thousand rebels who came to stop the attack. The total of 4,000 armies on both sides no longer had a formation to speak of, and they were all fighting together for their own battles, which was completely a life-and-death chaos, and the scene was very bloody.

The war knife in Guo Yi's hand had already been cut off, and he was holding a spear and stabbing each other with the rebels. The extreme fatigue of his body made Guo Yi feel powerless, and he finally killed the rebel soldiers in front of him. After that, Guo Yi looked at the surrounding situation, and saw that although the surrounding Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers no longer had a formation, they were still able to cooperate with each other in groups of three or five; But those rebel soldiers had no cooperation to speak of, and they were fighting with all their blood, as if they were a group of street thugs. In this way, although the two sides were equal in numbers, the Longxiang Iron Cavalry was still able to gain the upper hand and gradually won the victory.

Guo Yi was overjoyed when he saw this, so he mustered up his fighting spirit again, and entered the battle group with a gun, and for a while, a bloody storm rose again around him.

This battle has become extremely fierce, but both Liu Yunwei and Guo Yi have already understood very well in their hearts that the thousands of rebels in front of them are already at the end of their strengths, and the reason why they can still fight with Long Xiang Iron Cavalry in a stalemate is completely due to the rebels' superiority in strength. But as time passed, these rebels suffered huge casualties in the face of the fierce offensive of the Longxiang Iron Cavalry, and the superiority in strength could not last long, and the rebels would completely collapse at any time under the blows of the Longxiang Iron Cavalry.

At the same time, Hao Xiang took advantage of the chaos with more than 1,000 subordinates to quietly leave the battlefield, and the team of men and horses rushed desperately towards the Dajian Mountain in the distance, and some of the rebel soldiers who were physically exhausted screamed and fell down, but there was no chance to get up again, and they were immediately trampled to death on the spot by their companions behind them. And Lu Xiang was already as yellow as wax at this time, and there was only one thought in his heart, that is, to escape into Dajian Mountain! As long as you can survive, there is still hope!

In this way, the extravagant army ran all the way with this subordinate who didn't even have the courage to look back, and more than a thousand people miraculously ran out of the road for several miles in just a moment, and those rebel soldiers threw their weapons, armor and other items to the ground, and they were really embarrassed to lose their armor!

At this time, Liu Yunwei had already led the Iron Cavalry Army to completely defeat the 3,000 rebels who stayed behind to block it, except for the more than 1,000 rebels who were killed by Long Xiang's Iron Cavalry soldiers on the spot, the remaining more than 1,000 rebels were all dispersed on the spot. Liu Yunwei only sent 500 iron cavalry soldiers to scatter to chase and kill those rebel routs, and then prepared to lead more than 2,000 iron cavalry soldiers to support Guo Yi's troops.

At this moment, Liu Yunwei was very pleasantly surprised to find that a panicked shout suddenly erupted from the battlefield that was fighting fiercely in the distance; Immediately afterwards, Liu Yunwei saw more than 1,000 rebels scattered and fled, and Guo Yi held a knife in one hand and a rebel soldier's head in the other, and led his soldiers to start a great pursuit.

Liu Yunwei laughed when he saw this, and said: "Haha, this Guo Yi is really brave, it seems that it is really condescending to give him a thousand presidents!" ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei also led the army to join the pursuit, and a battle of life and death turned into a massacre in an instant. Within a two-mile radius around the entire battlefield, there were thousands of fleeing rebel soldiers, and the five thousand dragon cavalry had also scattered in all directions, chasing the enemy in all directions, not giving those rebel soldiers a chance to escape.

It was a full hour before the fleeing rebel soldiers were largely annihilated. However, when counting and killing, Liu Yunwei was very angry and found a situation: the rebel commander and thousands of rebel soldiers took advantage of the chaos to escape!

"These bastards, they're pretty fast! Give me chase! Wherever that rebel general fled, I had to chase him! Liu Yunwei roared angrily, kicked a round shield next to him away, and then slammed it to the ground, stirring up dust.

Guo Yi persuaded on the side: "General Town, in this battle, we have annihilated at least 6,000 rebels and captured more than 1,000 people, which is already a complete victory. Even if the rebel commander escaped, the number of troops around him would not exceed one or two thousand, and he was already a group of lost dogs, so he would not be able to make a big climate, so let the defenders of the surrounding cities clear them. Commander, I think we should go south as soon as possible and join forces with the army to attack Zitong City. ”

Liu Yunwei thought for a moment, and then said very angrily: "No! This rebel general was able to detect the whereabouts of our Longxiang Iron Cavalry in advance, and was able to use 10,000 troops against our 5,000 elite Iron Cavalry for such a long time, causing us hundreds of soldiers to suffer, how could we easily let him go! Judging from the situation of this battle, this rebel general definitely has some ability, not to be able to eat a bag, if the rebels under his command are stronger, this battle may be repeated or not necessarily! So, I must not let the tiger go back to the mountain! ”

Guo Yi saw that Liu Yunwei insisted on his opinion, so he asked: "Zongzhen, then where are we going to chase that rebel general?" ”

"Great Sword Mountain! That rebel general will definitely flee in the direction of the Great Sword Mountain! After speaking, Liu Yunwei pointed at Guo Yi and said, "You lead two thousand soldiers to stay and wait for me, and at the same time take care of the prisoners." I led the remaining more than 2,000 soldiers to chase in the direction of Dajian Mountain! ”

"Order! Be careful, too! ”

"I know. Let's go! The whole army goes north to Dajian Mountain! ”
