Chapter 3: Sweeping away the chaos and making meritorious contributions

Section 3 The Tiger Pounces on the Rabbit (II)

Just when Wu Xing led the soldiers of the trapping army to fight the army of thieves, the four frontal attacking phalanxes of thieves suddenly divided the forces of two phalanxes and killed the left and right flanks of the Hanwei camp respectively. I saw that the army of 60,000 thieves was divided into three torrents, and the 30,000 armies of the two phalanxes were still fighting with the soldiers of the trapping department, killing each other inextricably; The thieves of 15,000 men and horses each killed the two wings guarded by Li Tianhao and Zhao Kaishan respectively, and in an instant, the large array of the Hanwei camp was attacked on three sides, and the bloody battle became more fierce in an instant!

When Li Tianhao saw the army of more than 10,000 thieves killed, he immediately shouted excitedly and shouted: "Brothers, copy the guys, open the meat!" ”

More than 4,000 soldiers of the Vietnamese cavalry department were also full of fighting spirit, shouting "ten thousand victories" in unison, and the entire phalanx was as solid as a rock and as imposing as a rainbow.

In the blink of an eye, the army of 15,000 thieves collided with the soldiers of the Yue cavalry department, and the two sides went back and forth to kill each other in the dark. A machete in Li Tianhao's hand flew up and down, killing the surrounding thieves to the point of turning people on their backs, killing and injuring them; And the soldiers of the Yue cavalry department also formed a formation to kill the enemy, firmly blocking the army of thieves, the soldiers in front fell in a pool of blood, and the comrades behind did not hesitate to wave the sharp blades in their hands to go up. Under the continuous attacks of the thieves, the soldiers of the Vietnamese cavalry always held on, and the battlefield on the left flank of the Hanwei battalion gradually formed a stalemate.

And the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Department who stuck to the right flank of the Hanwei battalion were also in the midst of a bloody battle, Zhao Kaishan and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Department fought together, and the front of the battle was already covered with the corpses of the thieves, blocking the already crowded battlefield. Under the leadership of Zhao Kaishan, many of the soldiers were tall and strong, and the weapons they used were spears and halberds, heavy knives, sticks, etc., and these fierce soldiers always followed behind Zhao Kaishan and were at the forefront of the phalanx; It was these powerful soldiers who caused the most serious casualties to the thief army and blocked the thief army's sharp offensive.

And the soldiers of the Feiyu Department led by Lu Ying have always shot arrows one after another to kill the enemy, providing fire support for their comrades who are fighting the enemy on three sides. However, as time passed, the physical strength of the soldiers of the Flying Feather Division continued to decline, and the rain of arrows fired at the army of thieves gradually became thin, and finally Lu Ying had to order the archers to stop shooting in order to recover their strength.

The battle lasted for most of the hour, and the thief army never failed to attack the Hanwei battalion array, but suffered huge casualties under the blows of the thousands of headquarters soldiers, and the thief army that attacked the right flank of the Hanwei battalion was even defeated for a time.

Liu Yunwei saw that the morale of the thief army had begun to decline, and the huge casualties had made the thief army unsustainable, so he ordered Wang Dangdang to lead the soldiers of the Zhichong Division to support the left wing Li Tianhao's army, and take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack; ordered Gao Hongguang to lead the soldiers of the Yingyang Division to support the right wing of Zhao Kaishan's department, and take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack; ordered Lu Ying to lead the soldiers of the Feiyu Division to converge with Wu Xing's trap and defeat the enemy in front of him; At the same time, he ordered Wen Poyu's Changshui Department to lead the iron cavalry soldiers to go straight into the thief's main formation, and hit Zhao Zhenren's location fiercely, striving to kill the enemy general!

Liu Yunwei said to the heralds: "The moment the war drums of the Chinese army are beating, it is the time for the soldiers of all departments to counterattack in an all-round way!" ”

After the thousands of central parts waved their flags to confirm that they had received the order, Liu Yunwei immediately ordered all the war drums of the Chinese army to be beaten, and suddenly the mighty war drums resounded throughout the battlefield, and the soldiers of the thousands of headquarters of the Hanwei battalion, under the leadership of their respective superiors, launched a fatal blow towards the army of thieves!

With Lu Ying's order, all the archers of the Flying Feather Department struggled to shoot the last two rounds of arrow rain, and then Lu Ying led all the melee soldiers of the Flying Feather Department to rush forward, and more than 3,000 angry soldiers and the soldiers of the Trapping Department lined up to counterattack together, killing more than 20,000 rogue thieves who were attacking head-on; And Jiang Wentian also saw the opportunity quickly, and led two hundred strong crossbowmen to mix in the counterattack soldiers, constantly shooting and killing the thieves' generals at all levels, and it didn't take long for the thieves' command to be paralyzed. At this time, Wu Xing saw the opportunity to lead the soldiers of the extermination array to break into the rogue array in one fell swoop, and the cold horse chopping knives and heavy spears harvested the lives of countless rogue thieves, and instantly killed the frontal army of rogue thieves and fled; Seeing this, Lu Ying hurriedly led the remaining soldiers and horses to pursue the victory, and the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion had already established a victory on the frontal battlefield!

And Wang Dangdang and Wang Bo led more than 4,000 soldiers like tigers out of the cage, and pounced on the army of thieves on the left flank. At this time, the thieves on the left flank suffered very serious casualties after a bloody battle, and the number was only about 10,000; And the Zhichong Department and the Yue Cavalry Department together, the number of soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion is also around 10,000, and in terms of troops, it is already on par with the army of thieves, and in terms of morale and combat power, the soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion occupy an absolute advantage! I saw that Li Tianhao, Wang Dangdang, and Wang Bo each led their soldiers into the thief array, and successfully divided and surrounded the thief army that had lost their fighting spirit, and then the three began a bloody encirclement and annihilation, and the battle on the left flank of the battlefield entered a white-hot battle.

And on the right flank of the Hanwei Battalion's large array, Gao Hongguang was waving the steel spear in his hand, and there was not a single living thief soldier within a radius of ten steps! And the soldiers of the Eagle Yang Department have also joined the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Department, and are launching an overwhelming offensive towards the army of thieves on the right flank. I saw Zhao Kaishan rushing to the front with two hundred soldiers with heavy weapons, Zhao Kaishan would kill several thieves and soldiers every time he stepped forward, and the Kaishan axe in his hand had already cut out a gap, but it was still wielded by Zhao Kaishan. There was a splash of blood between the swords and swords, and countless rogue soldiers fell at the feet of Zhao Kaishan and other soldiers, and then they were trampled into minced meat by the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion who charged angrily.

Among the counterattacking armies, the happiest were the Changshui soldiers led by Wen Poyu, who saw more than 4,000 Changshui soldiers running in a row and 10,000 horses, crossing a huge arc on the periphery of the battlefield, bypassing the entire battlefield, and rushing towards the 90,000 army of the thieves. The seemingly distant distance, under the full speed of the war horse, in an instant, more than 4,000 iron cavalry soldiers rushed diagonally into the three phalanxes in front of the thieves, Wen Poyu led hundreds of horse lance cavalry like boiling water poured on the ice, instantly wiped out a large part of the three 10,000 large array. And with the continuous charge of the iron cavalry soldiers behind, the three rogue phalanxes were still constantly collapsing, and in less than a stick of incense, the 30,000-person array of 45,000 rogue thieves completely collapsed, and countless rogue soldiers fled frantically in all directions, screaming one after another.

Seeing that the counterattack launched by the various thousand headquarters was very smooth, Liu Yunwei couldn't help laughing, and said to Huang Fuming beside him: "I still think that when the battle situation is unfavorable, I will use those four artillery pieces to bombard the rogue array in order to turn the tide of the battle, it seems that I overestimated the strength of these rogues." ”

Huang Fuming looked at the magnificent battlefield, and his heart was very shocked, this was the first time in Huang Fuming's life that he had personally experienced such a life-and-death battle, and it was also a battle for the ages with 200,000 participants! It's just that Huangfu Ming never expected that the Hanwei camp would win so smoothly.

"If the general's command is determined, and the soldiers move forward bravely, the defeat of the thief army is also a hit." Huang Fuming said from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Yunwei smiled and was about to speak, but suddenly saw that in the thief's main formation, Zhao Zhenren's main banner moved quickly towards the back, and the 30,000 people who had not yet entered the battlefield at the end of the thief also retreated; Although Wen Poyu's Changshui Department defeated the three large arrays of thieves in front of them in one fell swoop, tens of thousands of thieves who fled in a hurry had already blocked the front of the Iron Cavalry soldiers. Wen Poyu had to angrily order to kill the tens of thousands of defeated soldiers in front of him first, otherwise the formation of the Changshui soldiers would be disrupted by the rout. For a while, Wen Poyu was unable to pursue Zhao Zhenren's troops.

Seeing this, Liu Yunwei said angrily: "This Zhao Zhenren is really as strong as iron, there are still 100,000 of his soldiers on the battlefield, and he gave up when he said he gave up?" The determination to retreat was made so quickly, which shows the determination of this person to kill. If this person is not removed, the scourge of thieves will not be quelled! ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei sent someone to call Lu Ying, who was charging to kill the enemy, back to the Chinese army, and ordered him to take charge of the overall situation and command all departments to encircle and suppress the army of thieves. And Liu Yunwei himself led two thousand dragon cavalry to rush out of the Chinese army's large array, bypassing the chaotic battlefield and killing directly to Zhao Zhenren's department who was retreating.

"The whole army accelerates, assault! Assault! Kill the Thief Head! Liu Yunwei roared angrily, and the two thousand Longxiang Iron Cavalry warriors also roared angrily: "Wan Sheng! Kill! "The two thousand soldiers were like two thousand fierce tigers, desperately rushing towards the headquarters of Zhao Zhenren, who still had three large squares of 45,000 people, and caught up in less than a stick of incense, and the two sides were only less than two hundred steps apart!

Liu Yunwei saw the location of Zhao Zhenren's flag, grabbed the horse's belly with his feet, pointed the armor-piercing steel gun in his hand forward, and roared loudly: "Where the thief is located, the meritorious service of my generation!" All the soldiers will follow me to kill the enemy and quell the chaos! Kill! ”

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! The two thousand iron cavalry soldiers roared angrily, and they all rode up their horses to follow Liu Yunwei, launching a deadly charge towards Zhao Zhenren's department. I saw a huge cone-shaped array aimed at Zhao Zhenren's department, and then drilled down in one fell swoop, and the army of thieves under Zhao Zhenren's department suddenly turned on their backs, and their momentum was stagnant.

Thousands of horses galloping, full of fighting spirit!
