Chapter 320: Encountering a Field Battle, Reinforcements Missing
Soon after He Xuewu left Yangzhou and returned to Wuxingcheng, a large number of ordnance was transported from Wuxingcheng to Yangzhou. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and Mu Zidu's soldiers and horses and Zhang Xutuo's soldiers and horses were mobilized one after another, and there was a three-month preparation time. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty announced to the outside world that he would drive a personal expedition, commanding 100,000 soldiers and horses, and pointing at the world.
And the first to bear the brunt is of course the Huainan Du Fuwei army on the back of Yangzhou, which has always had friction with Yangzhou left behind Mu Zidu. Most of the main forces of this attack were Mu Zidu's men and horses, so when formulating the battle plan, it was not a fight to fight, so the spearhead was first pointed at Du Fuwei.
"Oh no, oh no, there are a large number of soldiers and horses coming from Yangzhou in the direction of our Huainan." A scout, dressed as an ordinary person, ran in and reported to Duvowe.
"What's the panic, isn't it just that Yang Guang's old boy is not dead? actually wanted to take my Huainan knife, I really thought that my Huainan Army was easy to bully. Someone came to gather people for me, but I thought that I would meet the aftermath of the so-called Great Sui Emperor. Du Fuwei casually picked up the machete on the table, got up and walked out.
After Du Fuwei failed to attack Wuxingcheng last time, he knew that he had suffered from the unstable morale of the army and the mixing of soldiers. Therefore, in the past few years, a lot of time and energy has been spent on military training, and several talented young generals have been promoted. screened out some of the old, weak, sick and disabled, but also tossed out more than 100,000 elites. Coupled with the strong support of Buddhism in the back, it can be said that the recent strength has increased several times. This is also where the confidence of his current speech lies, and the Buddhism has not been idle over the years, it can be said that the blacksmiths from the north and south of the river have been secretly adopted in the mountain temple. Follow the example of the Divine Soldier Villa and build your own blade. After countless money was smashed, it was also a very brilliant achievement.
Hundred forging knives, they have researched them, and they are still conquering thousands of forging knives. It's almost as short as the heat is enough to be built. This has to say that we have the traditional heritage of Greater China, and the ability to copycat can be said to be innate. It can be said that what kind of armor is sold to the outside world by Shenbing Villa, they will become a copycat. I don't know how to innovate at all, and I don't think about intellectual property rights. In fact, this was also fooled by the ecstasy array released by He Xuewu, and now people in the outside world think that Shenbing Mountain Villa is really a hidden sect that has been inherited for thousands of years in ancient times and has a profound heritage. Coupled with the idea that people would rather believe in the good of old things than accept new things, almost all blacksmiths in this world think that the things of Shenbing Mountain Villa are the most perfect.
And now the weapons held by the soldiers under Du Fuwei's command are also these knockoffs, but they also look quite like that. But they don't know that what He Xuewu sells will always be inferior to what they hold. Even if he unconditionally supported Emperor Yang of Sui, the blades and armor he gave away were all eliminated internally by himself over the years. After all, it also takes up space in the warehouse, so it's better to be a favor.
But even so, the equipment of the army under the command of Emperor Yang of Sui is now of the same level as it is today.
The two sides coincidentally encountered each other in this flat and distant clearing, but they did not rush to war with each other, but confronted each other and arranged their troops. If siege warfare is like a meat grinder, then the plain field battle is a battle of life and death.
Because the Huainan Army was born in the south of the Yangtze River and the common people rebelled and rebelled, most of the foot soldiers, although the equipment appeared very powerful after a series of packaging, but the backbone still could not get rid of its own limitations.
However, the 100,000 army of Emperor Yang of Sui was developed from the 20,000 elites brought from the Imperial Forest Army before Yangzhou stayed behind Mu Zidu, plus Zhang Xutuo's tens of thousands of cavalry. These soldiers are all elite soldiers who came out of the sea of swords and blood, and they are not comparable to those rabble. And this time, Emperor Yang of Sui drove the expedition in person, Mu Zidu stayed behind as the rear to be responsible for logistics affairs, and the decision-making general was Zhang Xutuo, the god of war in the army.
Zhang Xutuo is a well-known expert in tough battles and field warfare. What he is best at is the field cavalry charge duel, a hard-fought battle, and he Zhang Xutuo has not been afraid of anyone.
Thinking about this encounter, the Huainan Army, under the command of Du Fuwei, reluctantly put on a decent long snake formation, with spears and shields standing. However, Emperor Yang of Sui waved Zhang Xutuo's command flag, and the cavalry lined up in an arrow array to charge to the death, and the infantry behind followed with shields and machetes.
"Kill." With the shouting and killing sound of Emperor Yang of Sui using his deep voice and using the true qi in his body, the whole army under his command also shouted together. This unison shouted towards Du Fuwei's Huainan army on the opposite side like a sonic wave.
On the Huainan army's side, they were not timid at all, and shouted with Du Fuwei: "Fight." ”
The whole army shouted together, and the whole momentum followed.
Emperor Yang of Sui waved his right hand, and a big drum appeared behind him. He personally played the drumsticks and beat the drums three times. Among the cavalry who were originally ready to attack, three waves of arrows were immediately thrown out and shot towards the Huainan army.
Looking at the oncoming rain of arrows, Du Fuwei hurriedly commanded the Huainan army to raise a big shield to block it. However, as the drums of Emperor Yang of Sui continued to sound behind, the Huainan army had not completely resisted the three waves of arrow rain, and Zhang Xutuo commanded the cavalry to rush over.
Shouts of killing, screams one after another. The Huainan army, which instantly put out a long snake formation, was torn apart by this cavalry assault, and Du Fuwei hurriedly commanded the generals on both flanks to come back to help. I want to surround this cavalry.
It's a pity that the idea is good, but the reality is very cruel. In the field, the infantry encountered the heavy cavalry, and in the case of little difference in numbers, there was only one fate left. That's right, now Zhang Xutuo personally led tens of thousands of cavalry under his command to stage a massacre among the hundreds of thousands of Huainan troops.
Zhang Xutuo's bravery, that cannot be questioned, grandmaster-level combat effectiveness, coupled with a perennial combat career on horseback. Almost all the generals in the Huainan army were not his enemies, and when they got up and fell, they took a life.
"King, the situation is not right, the reinforcements behind us have not come up." At the moment of the original crisis, Du Fuwei was still calm, because he still had a backhand. However, before he could fight back with his own hind hands, a general came to report to him.
"What, how is that possible. Didn't we find out that the other side only sent out these 100,000 troops? And our reinforcements are nearly 80,000 horses, can't we not hear the wind at all? After hearing the news, the current Du Fuwei seemed a little disorganized, and shouted in disregard of his image.
