Chapter 246: The North Chase the Sword

The war was imminent, and Wang Hu, who knew that the guilt and blame were forgiven, brought five hundred Xuanwu guards to help Cheng Boxian, so as to make meritorious contributions to the crime. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Cheng Boxian greeted him with a smile and personally went out of the camp to bring Wang Hu and his party into the camp. The qualifications of the Yanwang Mansion are there, although he is the general of the defeated army, but he has guarded the Meituo Lake Governor's Mansion for more than half a year, and has fought more than a dozen battles with the Yan people, and he must be more familiar with the Yan people and the local terrain than himself.

There is such a tiger general at the same level as himself who is willing to obey orders under his command, Cheng Boxian is still very happy, and after he goes back, he can blow it to Zhang Shi, Li Shangdan, Liu Yongzhen and other fools. The crazy tiger is willing to move forward for me, so it can be seen that my general is above you!

"Knock Knock ......"

On the calm Ussuri River, war drums suddenly thundered, and the two armies faced each other in the north and south on the frozen river, and a major battle was about to break out.

On one side is the Tang army with banners waving, strict queues, swords and guns unsheathed, and solemnly waiting in armor, and on the other side is the black water army with chaotic weapons and no queue formation at all.

"General Cheng, you might as well lead the soldiers under your command to charge the battle first and disrupt the opponent's deployment."

"General Wang, don't be impatient." Cheng Boxian talked and laughed, without any tension before the war, and pressed Wang Hu, who was eager to go into battle to kill, and said with a smile: "My Huaxia army has unparalleled bows and crossbows in the world since ancient times. Our army only needs to wait for the Tatars to charge into battle, and then General Wang will attack his troops fiercely. ”

Wang Hu was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, he knew Cheng Bo's method of using soldiers, remembering that he had repeatedly made mistakes in using soldiers, and he was ashamed, and bowed his hand and said: "It's still General Cheng who is thoughtful, and it's still Meng Lang." ”

"General Wang, Miaozan, Miaozan Wuye!" Cheng Boxian laughed, quite proud in his heart, it was not easy to make Wang Hu willing to succumb to himself.

……

"Whew......"

More than 1,000 people were divided into the army formation, and they slowly marched out of the ranks under the leadership of a fierce man who was seven feet tall and armed with a long-handled axe. In the array, like a wolf roaring and a tiger roaring one after another, the people of the Devil used this to boost morale and stimulate their own animal nature.

"It looks like the Devils are going to attack."

Cheng Boxian put away his smiling face and said with a serious expression: "General Wang, after our army's bows and crossbows are fired, I will wave the flag, and I hope that the general will lead his five hundred cavalry to rush into the enemy army and disrupt his army." ”

"General Cheng rest assured, a certain Wang Hu promised not to break the people of the Yan Dynasty today, and vowed not to return to the army."

Wang Hu looked solemn, gave up his hand, turned the reins, and returned to the five hundred horsemen under his command to wait for him.

At this time, the Yan people rushed to the front of the Tang army formation within 90 zhang, Cheng Boxian waved his right hand, and the 1,000 crossbowmen who had already been full of bowstrings fired a volley, and the arrows formed a rain of arrows in the sky, roaring towards the Tang army array.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the soldiers of the Tang Army all prepared their own bows and arrows for 30 expeditions, and in the battle array, everyone was able to shoot salvos for crossbowmen, which made the four Yi frightened.

The whizzing arrows whistled down, and as they ran, they raised their simple shields made of tree branches in their hands to block, and the pace of the charge did not stop, and they rushed towards the Tang army full of spears and spurs.

After all, the shield was improvised by the rough craftsmanship of the Tatar people, and the defensive effect was not satisfactory. What's more, the size of the shield is only the size of the round shield held by the Tang cavalry, and it can only cover the head in the charge, and most of the torso is within the range of the Tang army's arrows.

Seeing the scene of his own warriors being slaughtered by the arrows of the Tang people on the battlefield, Ah Shimu was anxious, and it was really not a good sign that he had killed and injured more than 100 people before the tentative attack of the Tang people.

Since the war between the Tang people, the various divisions of the Black Water Warrior have not fought a battle with the dignified array of the Tang people. Wang Hu, who had fought before, was not a general who fought positional warfare in the middle of the rules, and pursued a quick battle, often rushing when he saw the enemy, so that he was defeated by A Shimu and introduced into the ambush circle and was defeated.

The battle in Houxu was either a siege of the city or an attack on the Tang army camp, so that A Shimu and a group of Meng'an and Mouke had never seen the Tang army fighting in formation. At present, he has encountered Cheng Boxian, an opponent who is fighting in a daze, so that no conspiracy can be used.

lure the enemy deep, but the Tang army does not pursue; The cavalry harassed, and the Tang army sent sharpshooters to respond on the periphery of the military formation; Ambush? Not to mention that the Tang army followed closely and maintained a half-day travel distance, with an unobstructed view within a few miles on both sides of the river, there was no difference between setting up an ambush and not having it?

The people who launched the charge finally rushed through the death line of the Tang army's arrow array, and were fearless in the face of the Tang army's gun array, waving the weapons in their hands and screaming towards the array of guns.

"Thorn!"

Cui Yi, the captain of the pikemen, shouted, and the soldiers held the spears in their hands and stabbed out at the rushing elbows, instantly piercing through dozens of fierce deadly musketers. The pikemen didn't have time to think, so they hurriedly drew their spears and stabbed them out in unison, repeating the same action until they were killed, and then another person behind them made up for it.

On the tranquil Ussuri River, there were shouts of slaughter, and steaming red blood flowed on the crystal-smooth ice, and one corpse after another fell on the ice with unwilling eyes, allowing their full blood to flow on the white ice and exude a strange light.

"Kill ......"

The pikemen of the Tang Army roared wildly, and their momentum was no lower than that of the Tatar people who howled and rushed at their guns with hideous faces.

The blood-dripping spears in the pikemen's hands did not stop for a moment in the roar, and each time they stabbed out, they would take a small step forward, leaving behind the corpses in their wake. In the process of advancing, from time to time, someone was killed by the fierce and fearless Tatar people who broke into the formation, and fell on the ice in shock.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the Tang army's spear formations were killed and wounded, and the hundreds of corpses of their clan could not make the fierce Yan people move by the tragic image in front of them, and they still rushed towards the Tang army's spears without hesitation in their howls.

The main generals of the two sides were always watching the situation on the battlefield, compared to the anxious A Shimu and his subordinates Meng'an and Mouke, Cheng Boxian and the generals under his command showed a faint smile in their solemn expressions.

"When the time comes, wave the flag and order Wang Hu to lead his troops to battle."

The development of the battle situation is beneficial to his side, and after Cheng Boxian made a plan in his heart, he ordered the flag soldiers.

"Whoa!"

The flag bearer who got the order waved the Xuandi Phoenix Flag in his hand, and Wang Hu, who was always waiting for the battle order, saw it, waved the long-handled broadsword in his hand, and pointed forward: "Xuanwu Wei killed ...... with a certain person."

"Kill the ......" the five hundred Xuanwu Guards roared in unison, waving the weapons in their hands, clamping their legs between the belly of the horse, and followed their main generals to rush out of the military formation, and the people who broke into the front of the Tang army were slashed and killed.

The remnants of the hundreds of Tatars were slaughtered in an instant, and the remnants knew that they were invincible, so they turned and fled.

Wang Hu stabbed several people in his hands, and the depression accumulated in his heart since the defeat was greatly revealed, and he saw that his opponent A Shimu was still unmoving. Wang Hu slapped the back of a knife on the horse's buttocks, and when the mount learned of its master's intentions, it neighed, and without hesitation, he stepped on the ice on his four legs and rushed towards the Yan Ya army array.

The Xuanwu Guards cavalry followed closely, and the two thousand horseshoe nailed to the horseshoe accelerated and stepped on the ice with a majestic thumping sound.

As soon as Xuanwu Wei rushed past, there was a slight sound, and cracks appeared, as if a little more force would shatter in an instant.

"It's not good, the whole army retreats."

Seeing that the cracks in the ice continued to expand to the soles of his feet, Cui Yi was shocked and hurriedly ordered the pikemen to slowly retreat.
