Chapter 22 Blocking Bai Wenxuan
"Pedal Pedal ~"
The mighty army of 20,000 under the leadership of Bai Wenxuan marched rapidly in the billowing dust and smoke, and it was only about 3 miles away from Caijiawan at the end of the northwest side. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Report! Checkmate! Enemy forces are spotted ahead! ”
In the middle of the army, a scout rushed to report to Bai Wenxuan, who was in the middle army.
"Oh? Could it be that Chen Shizhen has been breached? ”
Bai Wenxuan was taken aback when he heard this, and asked with a puzzled face.
According to the information explored by the previous spies, the intention of the Yangwu army to attack this time should be very obvious, that is, they want to directly take down Chen Shizhen in one go and crush the resistance of the Ainengqi army.
Or has Chen Shizhen been breached?
No, there are more than 30,000 Ainengqi troops in Chen Shi Town, and even if the combat effectiveness is weak, it is impossible to be defeated by the Yangwu army, which only has more than 20,000 people, so quickly.
"Report to the general, last night the Yangwu army suddenly withdrew from Chen Shi Town, General Ai Nengqi did not know what the plan was, mistakenly thought that the Yang Wu army was going to attack our army, personally led 20,000 troops out of the city to our army direction, this morning was ambushed by the Yangwu army in front of Caijiawan, defeated, only led less than 6,000 remnants of the army to flee to Chen Shi Town. Now except for a battalion of nearly 5,000 Yangwu troops left behind in Caijiawan, the rest of the Yangwu troops have been in hot pursuit."
The scout breathed a sigh of relief and poured out all the information at once.
"Why did you come to report such an important military situation at this time!"
Bai Wenxuan's face was extremely gloomy when he heard this, and it took a while to digest the information, and then he said angrily to the scout who was kneeling on the ground.
At this time, it was close to Shenshi, and nearly two hours had passed since the Yangwu army ambushed the Ainengqi army, and their scouts did not send the news back until the army had already driven to Caijiawan, and this kind of delayed information was completely fatal to the two armies in the battle.
"Back to the general! Since yesterday evening, the Yangwu army has blocked the entire Caijiawan area, and the subordinates have also galloped all the way and rushed back from Shijiaba bypass."
Bai Wenxuan's murderous low words made the scout shrink his neck, and hurriedly defended himself, if he couldn't get Bai Wenxuan's forgiveness now, his head would probably fall to the ground on the spot soon.
"The whole army marches forward!"
In the battle, it was very common for the Yangwu army to delay and block news, and it was very easy for areas with special terrain such as Caijiawan, and Bai Wenxuan was not too harsh on this, so he had to order the army to march forward in formation and prepare to fight against the Yangwu army in Caijiawan.
Bai Wenxuan did not dare to continue to delay, according to the scout, now that the troops in the hands of Ainengqi have lost more than half, the morale of the army will inevitably drop greatly, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the fierce attack of the Yangwu army, he must lead the army to break through the blockage of the Yangwu army in Caijiawan as soon as possible and go to support the Ainengqi army.
Before this expedition, Sun Kewang gave him a death order, and he must assist Ainengqi to resist the attack of the Yangwu army.
Ainengqi has already sent someone to bow down to Sun Kewang, and now the entire Chenshi County is already Sun Kewang's territory, if he loses it in his hands, he will be severely punished when he goes back.
Soon, 20,000 troops came to a flat land in front of Caijiawan.
In front of a long line of low mountain slopes, a well-armed army of black armor was waiting on the plain.
At the front of the army, a mighty general lined up in front of the battle, wearing a helmet of the god of power, wearing a purple and gold beast armor, holding a black ink oolong halberd, and a horse with an armored cloud-maned horse on his crotch, with a fierce and brave spirit, it was Wang Yantong, the captain of the Changfeng Battalion.
After the annihilation of the Ainengqi army, it was the Changfeng Battalion under Wang Yantong who was responsible for staying in Caijiawan, and the Changfeng Battalion suffered the least loss in the Caijiawan ambush, and the set of armor and weapons on his body was rewarded by Sima Yu when he opened the mansion and built the government.
"Wang Yantong, the captain of the Changfeng Battalion under the command of General Yangwu, is here, who dares to come and die!"
Looking at the Baiwen Election Army slowly coming in front of him, Wang Yantong, the captain of the Changfeng Battalion, jumped out on a single horse, waving the oolong halberd in his hand, and the thunderous shouts resounded in all directions, and the cloud-maned horse under his crotch seemed to feel the master's desire to fight, and kept beating back and forth with a snort.
"Houliang famous general Wang Yantong!"
Looking at Wang Yantong, who was showing off his martial arts in front of the Changfeng Camp, Bai Wenxuan had a calm face and muttered solemnly.
With the continuous rise of the Yangwu army under Sima Yu, the prestige of the two famous generals of the Later Liang Dynasty, Wang Yanzhang and Wang Yantong, has already resounded throughout Yongzhou, especially the prestige of Wang Yanzhang, the captain of the Shaoshan Battalion, is even more terrifying, and countless enemies have been killed under the gun.
Wang Yantong, who is also a martial artist in the God Refining Realm, although his reputation is slightly inferior, but his bravery is also terrifying, Bai Wenxuan boasts that his ability is far from his opponent, and there is no one under his command who can resist Wang Yantong.
"The front army is attacking!"
Knowing that he was invincible, Bai Wenxuan would not be stupid enough to step forward and be beaten, and directly ordered the front army to attack.
"The front army is attacking!"
Wei Shengdeling, the former general of the army under Bai Wenxuan, immediately led the 3,000 army under his command and began to attack.
"Drink! Drink! ”
In the neat cheers, 3,000 soldiers moved in unison and pressed towards the Changfeng camp.
This time, in order to ensure that Chen Shixian is foolproof, Sun Kewang's 20,000 troops rationed to Bai Wenxuan are the elite of the army, most of them are the remnants of the original Western Army, which have been on the battlefield for a long time and are not weak in combat effectiveness.
"Gutsless rats! Yun Xuan, you immediately lead the troops into battle! ”
Seeing this, Wang Yantong sneered lightly and preached to Sima Chuyun of the Changfeng Camp on the side.
"Yes!"
Chu Yunxuan, who had been promoted to Wang Yantong's deputy, stepped forward to receive the order.
With 2,000 soldiers and horses, Chu Yunxuan immediately led his troops to battle.
"Array!"
Under the leadership of Chu Yunxuan, the 2,000 soldiers of the Changfeng Battalion quickly set up a crane wing formation and killed the 3,000 enemy troops who came to kill.
"If you want to swallow us, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it! Kill! ”
The two armies gradually approached, looking at the two thousand Changfeng Battalion soldiers who spread out on the two wings, a trace of anger flashed in Wei Sheng's eyes, and he raised his spear and walked up.
In the face of a larger number of opponents, Chu Yunxuan actually ordered his soldiers to set up a crane wing array used to encircle and annihilate and assault, obviously not taking them seriously, and wanting to defeat and annihilate the 3,000 men and horses under his command in one fell swoop, this contempt made Wei Sheng angry in his heart.
"Crossbowmen! Shoot the arrows! ”
Hundreds of crossbowmen under the command of Chu Yunxuan's troops quickly jumped out under the cover of the shield infantry, lined up in an arc in front of the formation, some holding longbows, and some holding crossbow arrows and began to shoot at the attacking enemy.
Because it takes a long time to train a qualified archer, in addition to the Shaoshan battalion, there are still a lot of qualified archers in the entire Yangwu Army battalion, and in order to make up for the lack of archers, Sima Yu specially issued a lot of crossbow arrows for each battalion to equip the stronger soldiers and use them as long-range troops.
Bows and crossbows have their own advantages and disadvantages in ranged weapons, and although bows and arrows are not as powerful and ranged as crossbow arrows, they are far faster at firing and reloading than crossbow arrows.
Therefore, in the battle between the two armies, crossbowmen are more effective when attacking enemy heavy infantry and cavalry, and archers are more effective against group charges and defenses of light and heavy infantry.
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
"Ahh~"
The arrows that fell from the sky and the crossbow arrows that came from the flat filled the air densely, opening their mouths of blood to the soldiers of the Weisheng Division, and constantly splashing blood rain in the military formation, killing or wounding one soldier after another.
"Kill!"
The dense rain of arrows and the death of their teammates could not frighten these battle-hardened soldiers, who still bravely charged forward under the leadership of Wei Sheng.
"Gun array! Surrounding! Kill! ”
The distance of more than 200 steps was approaching in an instant, carrying the attack of the rain of arrows, after losing hundreds of soldiers, the two armies finally met in a short battle, Chu Yunxuan decisively ordered.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The archers and crossbowmen in the front row quickly withdrew into the formation, and began to change their spears and broadswords under the cover of the shield infantry, while the shield infantry in the front row raised their spears one after another, and began to shout and press in several rows.
This Changfeng Battalion, which has just been formed for only a few months, has already transformed from a new recruit to a fierce division under the accelerated effect training of props such as training fragments used by Sima Yu.
"Kill!"
"Ahh
"Ahh
"Ahh
The two armies quickly collided together, and the soldiers of the Weisheng Department who were charging in front of him fiercely charged at the gun and shield array of the Changfeng Battalion under his leadership, and as soon as the people in front fell under the guns, the soldiers in the rear had already stepped on their corpses and charged again.
Fierce melee combat begins!
"Drink!"
One of the hundred generals under Wei Sheng's command jumped into the gun shield array with a single step, stepping on the corpses of the soldiers under his command and the iron spears in the hands of the soldiers of the Changfeng Battalion.
"Kill!"
"Ahh
As soon as he stepped into the formation, before he could attack, he immediately died under the guns of the soldiers of the Changfeng Battalion who were quickly surrounding.
However, just as he attracted the attention of many soldiers of the Changfeng Battalion, several soldiers followed by him crossed the wall of the gun shield formation and entered the formation.
"Kill!"
The soldiers of the Changfeng Battalion, who had eliminated the hundred-man general, once again distanced themselves from the soldiers in the front row, and attacked in unison with their guns.
Struggled to resist, and soon they were all buried under the gunfire.
The same scene continued to be staged on the battle front, under the calm command of Chu Yunxuan, who was located in the Chinese army, the front of the 2000 Changfeng Battalion soldiers slowly pushed, constantly killing the enemy troops who launched the attack.
"Ah~"
The screams came and went, but in half an hour, the 3,000 Bai Wenxuan troops who were not afraid of death finally couldn't resist the slaughter of the Changfeng Battalion's gun and shield array, and after losing hundreds of people, they were forced to start retreating.
The gap in equipment and training has made Bai Wenxuanjun always in a situation of being passively beaten.
"Up!"
The advance of the front army was unfavorable, and Bai Wenxuan had to send reinforcements again, and the 2,000 soldiers under his command pressed again.
"Zhang Ying! Go for reinforcements! ”
"Yes!"
Seeing this, Wang Yantong also ordered his subordinate Zhang Ying to lead 1,000 people to reinforcements.
The whole battle lasted for 1 hour before it ended, and under the tough resistance of Wang Yantong's Changfeng Battalion, Bai Wenxuan sent tens of thousands of people to break through the defense line of the Changfeng Battalion, and was firmly blocked on the plain of Caijiawan.
After a tough battle, the Changfeng battalion lost more than 400 people, but killed more than 2,000 Bai Wenxuan's army, and the battle loss of 1:5 made Bai Wenxuan have to stop the attack.
