Chapter 279: Breaking the Game (3)
"Boom~"
Outside Xianshi City, more than 70,000 Qiang cavalry were waiting in front of the formation, and in the distance in front of them, there was a dense rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and in the thick dust and smoke rolled up, a torrent composed of more than 200,000 grassland cavalry rolled in the direction of Xianshi City.
"Father, here they are!"
Looking at the dense grassland cavalry on the horizon in the distance, Yao Xing said to Yao Chang, who had a stern face.
Among the three men and horses engaged in the battle with the Chinese army, the Qiang cavalry led by Yao Chang suffered the least losses.
Xianshi City is located in the east of Gongzhou, adjacent to the Tuojiang River Basin, a branch of the Yangtze River, Yao Chang led the Qiang cavalry to besiege Xianshi City, the main purpose is to prevent the Chinese army from Xianshi County to besiege the Qing army outside the city of Huangshi, so the battle between the two armies is the most "mild", after more than half a month of fighting, 80,000 Qiang cavalry still have more than 70,000 people.
"How are they prepared?"
Sweeping away the Qiang cavalry waiting behind him, Yao Chang turned around and looked at the Eight Banners cavalry formation on the edge of the mountain forest on the left.
There are about 30,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners on the edge of the mountain forest on the left, and the general who leads the army is Ao Bai, who has no way to escape, and they have rushed here yesterday to join Yao Chang and them.
Judging from the news he received, if he hadn't killed Haoge in the battle yesterday, I'm afraid the Qing army might not have been defeated so quickly, the grassland cavalry under Sima Yu
I'm afraid that it will not be able to wipe out the more than 100,000 Qing troops outside Huangshi so easily.
"Ao Bai has already sent a message, they are ready, as long as their father gives the order, they will attack the enemy from the flank!" Yao Xing replied respectfully when he heard this.
"Pass the order down, attack!"
From a distance, looking at the steppe cavalry that was getting closer and closer, Yao Chang's face froze, slowly raised his right hand, stopped in the air for half a moment, and then waved his order vigorously.
"Woo woo woo~"
"Pedal Pedal ~"
The horn sounded quickly, and the army formation composed of more than 70,000 Qiang cavalry slowly started.
"Kill!"
The speed of the cavalry slowly accelerated, and finally rushed forward quickly, and more than 70,000 Qiang cavalry spread out quickly rushed towards the grassland cavalry in front.
"General, they're already on their way!"
At the edge of the mountain forest on the left side of the Qiang cavalry, in front of the more than 30,000 Eight Banner cavalry formations, the general under the command of Ao Bai, Long Duo, was a little impatient.
"Wait!"
Aobai, whose face was sinking like water, raised his hand to stop him.
"Father, the Eight Banners cavalry under the command of Ao Bai has not yet been dispatched!"
In front of the rushing Qiang cavalry formation, Yao Xing, who got the news, reported to Yao Chang angrily.
"This traitor is really unreliable! Leave them alone! ”
Yao Chang's face suddenly became angry when he heard this, and he shook his hand to urge the horse to speed forward.
Although Ao Bai promised him to enter the army in time just now, but now that the army has been launched, even if Ao Bai goes back on his word, he can't control it.
"Kill~"
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
"Ahh~"
Two huge cavalry torrents collided fiercely on the land outside Xianshi City, countless arrows continued to fall from the sky, and the continuous shouts and screams of killing resounded throughout the battlefield.
"Respect the sky, the cavalry battalion is dispatched!"
At the rear of the grassland cavalry formation, looking at the battlefield where more than 300,000 cavalry were fighting together tragically, Sima Yu waved his hand to Huang Jingtian with a calm face.
Yao Chang, the founding king of the Later Qin Dynasty, his ability to use cavalry was top in the entire Five Dynasties and Sixteen Kingdoms period, although Sima Yu had more than 280,000 grassland cavalry, but he did not dare to underestimate it in the slightest.
"Whoa!"
Huang Jingtian quickly took the order when he heard this.
Soon, the remaining 5,000 heavy cavalry of the cavalry battalion slowly lined up in the rear of the battlefield.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
"Boom~"
Heavy cavalry weighing hundreds of kilograms continued to rise and fall on the ground, forming a huge steel array like a rushing steel torrent rushing towards the fierce battlefield.
"Quick! Get out of the way! ”
"Get out of the way!"
In the tremor of the earth, the steppe cavalry who were fighting with the Qiang cavalry avoided one after another.
"Boom!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The strong cavalry that was entangled with the grassland cavalry couldn't avoid it at all, and the steel torrent composed of 5,000 heavy cavalry of the Xiao cavalry battalion instantly poured into the Yao Chang army formation, and countless Qiang cavalry were crushed to pieces in the violent collision for the first time.
5,000 heavily armored cavalry rampaged through the military formation, directly killing a bloody path in Yao Chang's army, and dividing the entire Yao Chang army formation into two.
"Kill!"
The steppe cavalry that bypassed on both sides also followed closely, quickly poured in from the blood path, and began to encircle and kill Yao Chang's army with the grassland cavalry on the left and right.
"General, the strength of the heavy cavalry of the Huaguo Army is too strong, if we don't make a move, Yao Chang and them will probably be defeated!"
Looking at the heavy cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion who were rampaging in the formation of Yao Chang's army, Rondo suggested to Ao Bai with a worried face.
The situation on the battlefield is indeed not optimistic, if there is no external force to join, Yao Changjun, who is already at a huge disadvantage in terms of troops, may not be able to hold out for long.
"Yes! It's time to make a move! ”
Looking at the situation on the battlefield, a complicated look flashed in the eyes of Ao Bai, who had been silent, and finally sighed.
"Pass the order, target Yao Changjun, and the whole army will be pulled out!"
Pointing to the back of Yao Changjun with his right hand, Ao Bai ordered in a cold voice.
"What?"
"Yao Changjun?"
As soon as Aobai's military order was given, all the generals of the Eight Banners Army around were stunned, and looked at Aobai one by one suspiciously.
"Now that the defeat is decided, do you all have to follow Yao Changjun to die! I have decided to take refuge in China, and today's battle is our close hand! ”
Ao Bai pulled out the big knife at his waist, pointed at Yao Changjun from afar, and shouted loudly.
"Kill~"
After speaking, Ao Bai ignored the reaction of the surrounding Eight Banner Army generals, and took the lead in leading the guards to the front.
"Kill!"
Thousands of elites under Aobai's command also followed the clouds, and immediately followed the entire army, and the 30,000 Eight Banners cavalry quickly followed Aobai and killed Yao Chang's army.
"What are you doing?"
"Traitor!"
"The Qing army has defected!"
The Qiang cavalry generals located at the rear of Yao Chang's army looked at the rushing Eight Banners cavalry, and their expressions changed drastically, and they shouted and cursed one by one.
It's a pity that all this can't stop the rushing Eight Banners cavalry.
"Kill!"
"Ahhhh
The Qiang cavalry, who couldn't reach it, never thought that their backs would be attacked by the Eight Banners cavalry, and they paid a heavy price in an instant, and countless strong cavalry were killed and fell off their horses.
"The Qing army has defected!"
"Retreat!"
This blow of the Eight Banners Cavalry was like the last straw that overwhelmed Yao Chang's army, and the Qiang cavalry, which had been crushed by the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the grassland cavalry, was completely chaotic.
"Poof!"
"God will kill me!"
"Father!"
"Father!"
Yao Chang, who was fighting hard in front of the military formation, received the news, a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth, and he died in anger on his horse.
"Our army, please surrender!"
When the two brothers Yao Xing and Yao Chong touched the tip of Yao Chang's nose, which was already silent, they finally lost the will to resist and led the army Sima Yu to surrender.
On July 13 of the second year of the emperor's reign, Sima Yu, who was entangled in the defeat of the Qing army outside the city of Huangshi, led the troops to approach the city of Xianshi again, and the battle outside the city of Xianshi, the general of the Qing army, Ao Bai, led 30,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners to mutiny on the spot, and the Chinese army together to attack Yao Chang's army, Yao Chang died on the spot, and the two brothers Yao Xing and Yao Chong led the remnants of the Qiang cavalry to surrender to Huaguo.
