Chapter Seventy-Eight: Reinforcements Arrive
Just when Wu Song was fighting with Hu Tu's own soldiers with his sword, the Eight Banners cavalry rushing to the rear also rushed to attack the Jinyi Guard Formation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The impact of the fast-running cavalry was amazing, carrying a huge impact force to impact the camp of the Jinyi Guards at once, and some of the retreats were not timely, and the Jinyi Guards holding crossbows fell under the swords of the Eight Banners Cavalry.
Fortunately, in the woods, the military formation of the Eight Banners Cavalry was disrupted, and it was impossible to carry out a dense charge, otherwise I am afraid that more than half of the Jinyi Guards would be killed and wounded after a wave of impact.
"Kill!"
Seeing that the Eight Banners cavalry rushed out of the formation at once, the vulture bones holding two large embroidered spring knives jumped out, knocking a rushing war horse to the ground, and the Eight Banners soldiers who fell to the ground just wanted to get up and were killed by the embroidered spring knife in the hands of the vulture bones.
Swing the long knife and rush left and right!
The vulture bone was like a humanoid tank and rampaged against the onrushing cavalry, and the embroidered spring knife in his hand continued to reap the lives of the soldiers of the Eight Banners.
On the other side, Sima Yu was much gentler, dodging the oncoming cavalry while fighting with the surrounding cavalry.
These Eight Banner cavalry are all extremely fierce, and most of them have already entered the realm of body refining, and some of them have even entered the middle and late stages of body refining, and Niu Lu Ezhen Hutu is the peak strength of body refining.
In the face of the attack of so many fierce Eight Banner cavalry, even with the force of Wu Song, Wu Tu Gu and Sima Yu, the situation could not be opened for a while, and the entire battlefield fell into a brutal fight.
With the passage of time, there were constantly Jinyi guards killed, but in a quarter of an hour, 198 Jinyi guards had killed more than 120 people, and plus the more than 30 Eight Banner soldiers shot by the crossbow before, the entire Eight Banners soldiers only suffered nearly 100 casualties, and most of these people still died under the knives of Wu Song, Wutu Gu, and Sima Yu. The other Jinyi Guards were always suppressed when facing the Eight Banners soldiers.
However, as the battle continued, the role of the war horse had disappeared, and all the soldiers of the Eight Banners had abandoned the war horse and started a hand-to-hand battle with the Jinyi Guard.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
Seeing that with the force of Sima Yu and the three of them, they were gradually stabilizing the situation, and a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded behind Hu Tu and the others again.
"Drive, the whole army is running!"
The armor-clad Zhenglanqi Niu Lu Ezhen Bach also led his 300 warriors to arrive and charged at Sima Yu and them.
Bach was the commander of the other Niu Luzheng Blue Banner cavalry stationed in Wanglong County with Hu Tu, and after receiving the news of Sima Yu's landing, he also rushed from Yunfeng Town, the southernmost town in Wanglong County, non-stop.
"Kill!"
The arrival of reinforcements suddenly boosted the morale of the tired soldiers under Hu Tu's command again, while the morale of Jinyiwei was slightly reduced, and even the expressions on the faces of Sima Yu, Wu Song and others became solemn.
"Bell~"
"Ah~"
"Retreat up the mountain!"
Seeing this, Sima Yu immediately blocked the big knife in the hand of a soldier of the Eight Banners, slashed it to the ground with a horizontal knife, and then pointed to the other direction of Tuanshan and ordered loudly.
After a quarter of an hour of hard fighting, nearly two-thirds of the Jinyi guards have been killed and wounded, and now that the other party has reinforcements arriving, it is very likely that they will really have to explain here today, so they have to order another retreat to the people of Tuanshan Village.
For today's plan, Sima Yu and the others had to rely on the mountains and forests to delay for a while, and wait for Huang Jingtian to lead the guard battalion to arrive, otherwise even the bravery of Wu Song, Wutu Gu, and Sima Yu could not change the situation of the battle, and I am afraid that in the end, they had to escort Sima Yu to escape.
Now that so much time has passed, Huang Jingtian and they should be almost there.
Hundreds of miles outside Tuanshan Village, a black-armored army slowly appeared, which was the guard battalion led by Huang Jingtian.
"Blow the trumpet, and the whole army will accelerate its march!"
Huang Jingtian, who was straddled on the war horse, saw Sima Yu and them who were in a critical situation at the foot of the regimental hill at a glance, and immediately ordered.
The entire Guards Battalion is an elite hoplite in the positioning given by Sima Yu, and each soldier is equipped with iron helmets and heavy armor, divided into heavy armor shield soldiers, heavy armor spearmen, and heavy armor broadsword soldiers to deal with different formations and different types of troops.
However, no matter what kind of soldier it is, he has a heavy armor, so the entire Guards battalion can't move fast.
"Woo~"
With the sound of whimpering horns, the Guards battalion quickly moved in the direction of the battlefield.
"Lord Ejin, local reinforcements have arrived."
The appearance of the Guards battalion immediately attracted the attention of the Qing army, and Bach's personal soldiers reported to him.
"The whole army withdraws, line up!"
Looking at the Guards battalion that was rapidly approaching this side, Bach decisively ordered.
With the force of Sima Yu and others, it may take a lot of effort to kill them, and the other party's reinforcements have arrived, in order to avoid being attacked from both sides, Bach had to order the withdrawal of the Eight Banners soldiers who were besieging Sima Yu and others.
"Bach, why do you withdraw your troops!"
Hutu, who had been stimulated by the huge losses, saw that Bach had ordered the withdrawal of troops, and immediately came to Bach's side angrily and questioned him.
"Hutu, their reinforcements have arrived!"
Bach pointed to the approaching Guards Camp Road.
"Withdrawal"
Hu Tu came to his senses when he heard this, and looked at the guards battalion who was rushing to say with a gloomy face.
As a veteran of the battlefield, although Hu Tu was angry at this time because of the huge damage to the soldiers under his command, he did not lose his mind, and it was obviously not good for them to continue fighting at this time.
Immediately, the remaining 400 Zhenglan Banner cavalry were quickly assembled under the leadership of the two, and then quickly retreated to the plains outside the mountains and forests.
Bach and Hutu, who had withdrawn from the mountains and forests, did not leave with their troops, but instead set up a position on the flat ground outside, looking ready to enter the battle at any time.
"Array!"
Huang Jingtian on the side of the Guards Battalion also quickly observed the movement of the Eight Banners Cavalry, and immediately ordered.
In such a flat terrain, it would definitely be a disaster to let this elite Eight Banners cavalry charge into battle wantonly.
"Array!"
The military order soon spread throughout the army, and the formation of the guards battalion quickly changed from a rapid march to a state of in-situ defense, and rows of iron shield soldiers quickly stepped forward to form a shield formation in front, and sharp spears emerged from the gaps in the shield array, forming a dense gun formation.
The two armies were waiting for each other from a distance of thousands of meters, and at the same time, Huang Jingtian sent a group of soldiers to Sima Yu and them to protect his safety.
"It's Jingtian, they're here! Let's go, let's go and meet them."
Seeing that Hu Tu and they had retreated, Sima Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and looked at the soldiers of the Guards Battalion who were quickly coming this way.
Soon, Sima Yu and the others came to the military formation of the guards battalion under the escort of the soldiers of the guards battalion.
"The subordinates are late, and please ask the lord to surrender!"
Huang Jingtian, escorted by dozens of personal soldiers, quickly came to Sima Yu's side, turned over and dismounted, and pleaded guilty.
At this time, in addition to Wu Song and Wu Tu Gu, there were less than 30 brocade guards left around Sima Yu, and most of them were already covered with colors, even Wu Song, Wu Tu Gu, and Sima Yu also looked a little embarrassed.
It seems that if the guard battalion arrives a little late, I'm afraid that Sima Yu will be in danger, and Huang Jingtian can't help but be afraid when he thinks of this.
"What a crime to respect the sky, this encounter with the enemy army is really unexpected" Seeing this, Sima Yu hurriedly helped Huang Jingtian up.
Huang Jingtian is really no wonder this time, if he really wants to blame, he can only blame himself for being careless, and he acted rashly before he found out the situation.
"I'm afraid their reinforcements are also coming, I didn't expect this decisive battle to come so soon"
Looking at the Qing army waiting on the opposite side, Sima Yu couldn't help frowning.
Before the spies came to report, they said that there were still large troops coming behind Hutu and them, and it was estimated that the 10,000 slave troops stationed in Wanglong Town, plus a Niulu cavalry under Bach, all the Qing troops in Wanglong County were here.
The decisive battle with the Qing army in Wanglong County was much earlier than Sima Yu had originally estimated.
