Chapter 552: The First Encounter That Doesn't Distinguish Between Victory and Defeat

After the guards corps and the trapping camp of the Broken Army arrived at Gongyang City, the capital of Xiangzhou Prefecture, they rested in Gongyang City for five days, and during these five days, the Eastern Barbarian Army entrenched in Hedong County and Yumen County of Xiangzhou still did not make any major moves, obviously did not take the initiative to attack the Broken Army.

Wang Ben, the commander of the Guards Legion of the Broken Army, discussed with Gao Shun, the commander of the trapped camp, and decided to leave one cavalry brigade and three infantry brigades of the Guards Corps in Gongyang City to guard against the Eastern Barbarian army, which was dominated by the Qingyi people, and divided his troops to attack the strategic place of Gongyang City, while the main force of the Guards Legion and more than 100,000 people in the trapped camp marched directly to Hedong County.

Although after the Qingyi sent another 500,000 troops to Xiangzhou, the Broken Army entered the Guards Corps and the trap camp in Xiangzhou, and was already at a disadvantage in terms of troops, but Wang Ben, Gao Shun and other generals of the Broken Army, in the face of the superior Eastern Barbarian Coalition Army, did not have the slightest fear, and the idea of the invincibility of the Broken Army had completely penetrated into the hearts of these generals of the Broken Army.

When Wumeng Ergu, the king of the western Qing Yi tribe, learned that the Broken Capture Army was violently rushing towards Hedong County, he immediately dispatched 800,000 elite troops of the Qing Yi Tribe, as well as 100,000 troops of the Guxi Tribe, and 100,000 troops of the other twelve tribes combined, totaling a million troops, and gathered in Luotang County, the westernmost part of Hedong County, ready to meet the upcoming Broken Army.

On February 15, 430 of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Guards Corps of the Broken Army and the 740,000 troops of the trapped camp, and the 1 million Eastern Barbarian Tribes Allied Army dominated by the Qingyi Nationality, encountered near the county seat of Luotang County.

On the afternoon of 15 February, in the county office of Luotang County, Tusiguo Jiwusa of the Guxi tribe suggested to Wumeng Ergu, the king of the western part of the Qingyi tribe: "King Wumeng, now that the Broken Prisoner Army is building a camp more than ten miles away from Luotang County, why don't we take the opportunity to test the reality of the Broken Prisoner Army?" ”

Wumeng Ergu, the king of the western part of the Qingyi tribe, smiled slightly and said: "Guoji Tusi, are you a little unconvinced by the great achievements of the Broken Army?" ”

Guxi Tusi Guo Jiwusa immediately said: "I don't have any doubts about the strength of the Broken Army, but the millions of troops of the Broken Army cannot all be elite, maybe the Broken Army troops who entered Xiangzhou have only average combat power, and even if the Broken Army troops more than ten miles away are all elite, our allied forces of all ethnic groups may not be able to defeat them, and the armies of our various ethnic groups gathered here are also elite, elite to elite, and it is not certain who will die!" ”

The western king of the Qingyi tribe, Wumeng Ergu, nodded and said: "I also want to see how powerful the Broken Army is, hearing is false, seeing is believing, let's let the armies of all ethnic groups compete with the Broken Army on the battlefield!" ”

When the Guards Legion of the Broken Army and the Trapping Camp were building a camp, hundreds of thousands of Eastern Barbarian troops rushed over, and Wang Ben, the commander of the Guards Legion who learned that the Eastern Barbarian Army took the initiative to attack, immediately smiled and said to Gao Shun, the commander of the Trapping Camp: "Brother Gao, the Eastern Barbarians came just right, you and my brother will weigh what the Eastern Barbarian Army is capable of!" ”

Gao Shun immediately said: "General Wang, we are willing to fight in the camp, and we will meet the Eastern Barbarians for a while." ”

Wang Ben and Gao Shun then gathered the four cavalry brigades of the Guards Legion, as well as all the soldiers in the trapped camp, and greeted the hundreds of thousands of Eastern Barbarian troops without showing weakness.

The armies of the two sides were about two miles apart, so they set up their own positions, and the Eastern Barbarian army was obviously much more than the Broken Army, but almost all the Eastern Barbarian tribes were infantry, and there were no formed cavalry units at all, while the Broken Army had four cavalry brigades, almost 160,000 cavalry troops.

At the signal of Wumeng Ergu, the king of the western part of the Qing Yi tribe, a fierce general of the Qing Yi tribe urged the horse to come to the front of the two armies, "Listen to the broken army on the opposite side, our Qing Yi tribe invaded Xiangzhou of the Jin State in order to retrieve the two princesses who were robbed by the Jin people, and they don't want to be the enemy of the Broken Army. ”

At this time, there was also a general on the side of the Broken Army who urged the horse to come to the front of the two armies, "Eastern barbarian, don't make any excuses, you have the ability to let the horse come!" ”

The people of the Great Jin Dynasty have always called the people of the Eastern Barbarians as the Eastern Barbarians, and there is a contempt in Liu Ji, you must know that the various ethnic groups in the 100,000 mountains have never called themselves Dongban.

"Jin Guo's child, don't take advantage of your tongue, today my Corgi Baode will take your life!"

"Dongmanzi, I'm still afraid that you won't succeed!"

Xin Wenli, whose force value is as high as 97 points, then waved an iron lance to fight with the Qingyi fierce general Corgi Baode, Xin Wenli is currently the brigade captain of the First Cavalry Brigade of the Guards Legion, and this time he came to the front of the two armies, and it was Xin Wenli who took the initiative to ask Wang Ben, the commander of the Guards Corps, to fight.

Xin Wenli and the Qing Yi fierce general Corgi Baode had just fought for less than ten rounds, and Wang Ben, the commander of the Guards Legion, urgently said to a puppet bodyguard sent to him by Liu Ji: "Liu Yun, go to the front of the two armies and change General Xin Wenli back!" ”

It turned out that Xin Wenli had been completely suppressed by the Qing Yi fierce general Corgi Baode in just a few rounds, so Wang Ben was in such a hurry to send Liu Yun, a puppet bodyguard with a force value of up to 105 points, to replace Xin Wenli, you must know that Xin Wenli can be regarded as a general of the Guards Legion, and Wang Ben didn't want to lose a general just after fighting with the Eastern Barbarian Army.

After Xin Wenli fought with the Qing Yi fierce general Corgi Baode, he was also shocked in his heart, because the general of the Qing Yi tribe on the other side was definitely above him in martial arts, and Xin Wenli could even be sure that this Qing Yi general must have the strength of a peerless general or close to a peerless general, so Xin Wenli immediately had the heart to retreat in his heart.

Xin Wenli is not a reckless person, and since he is not an opponent of others, there is no need to hold on.

After Xin Wenli and Corgi Baode made another mistake, Xin Wenli did not turn his horse again and rushed to Corgi Baode, the fierce general of the Qingyi tribe, but directly retreated to the main formation of the broken army.

Corgi Boyd saw that Xin Wenli had fled, and did not pursue him, according to the distance between the two, Corgi Boyd was chasing, and he couldn't catch up.

"The courageless Jin Guo child, it turns out that he only has such a little ability!" Corgi Boyd grabbed the reins of the war horse under his crotch, and the long knife in his hand was horizontal, and he yelled with contempt.

Soon, the puppet bodyguard Liu Yun urged the horse to rush to the front of the two armies, and did not say a word of nonsense to Corgi Baode, and directly waved his knife to fight with Corgi Baode.

After Xin Wenli returned to the main camp of the Broken Army, he was a little embarrassed and said to Wang Ben, the commander of the Guards Legion: "Marshal, I didn't expect the general of the Qingyi Clan to be so fierce, Wenli has embarrassed our Guards Legion!" ”

Wang Ben waved his hand and said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, not to mention that fighting generals in front of the two armies is just a way to improve morale, and the new general does not have to worry about it." ”

Just as Wang Ben was talking to Xin Wenli, a deafening cheer suddenly sounded on the side of the Broken Army, and Liu Yun, a puppet bodyguard with peerless military strength, cut off the head of the Qingyi fierce general Corgi Baode with a knife in just seven rounds.

On the side of the Eastern Barbarian Army, Wumeng Ergu, the western king of the Qingyi tribe, saw that the general under his command, Corgi Baode, was killed by the new general of the Broken Army in seven rounds, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

You must know that Corgi Baode can be regarded as Wumeng Ergu's henchman, and his martial arts are also very strong, but he didn't expect to be killed so easily by the new general of the Broken Army, and then Umeng Ergu sent a Qingyi fierce general, hoping to kill Liu Yun and avenge Corgi Baode.

It's a pity that the second Qingyi fierce general who urged the horse to fight still didn't hold out for ten rounds under the puppet bodyguard Liu Yun, and was almost split in half by Liu Yun with a knife.

Next, Wumeng Ergu, the king of the western Qing Yi tribe, sent two more Qing Yi generals, but like the first two Qing Yi generals, they did not go through ten rounds under the puppet bodyguard Liu Yun.

Later, in front of the Eastern Barbarian army, Tusi Guo Jiwusa of the Guxi tribe hesitated for a moment and said to the western king of the Qingyi tribe, Wumeng Ergu: "King Wumeng, this fierce general of the broken army in front of the two armies is really too powerful, and if you continue to send people up, if you don't make it, it will still be sent to death, so it is better to let our warriors of all ethnic groups attack!" ”

Wumeng Ergu, the king of the western part of the Qingyi tribe, sighed and said: "It's a pity that my younger brother Wumengtuda did not enter Xiangzhou of the Jin Kingdom with the army, otherwise where could this fierce general of the Jin Kingdom be so rampant!" ”

Umengtuda is also the son of the Qingyi Tusi Wumeng Ago, known as the first warrior of the Qingyi tribe, but because Wumengtuda is young, he was not named the king of the Qingyi tribe by Tusi Wumeng Ago, and now Wumengtuda leads the most elite 5,000 Tusi guards of the Qingyi tribe.

Wumeng Ergu, the king of the western Qing Yi tribe, then turned his head to look at the hundreds of Qing Yi generals under his command, but these Qing Yi generals lowered their heads one after another, not daring to meet Wumeng Ergu's gaze, for fear that Wumeng Ergu would send him up to die.

Seeing the performance of the generals under his command, Umeng Ergu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then Umeng Ergu ordered loudly: "Dugu Menghe, Ming Songerdun, you two 10,000 troops will attack immediately and break through the battle formation of the opposing army for this king!" ”

The armies of various nationalities in the 100,000 mountains are almost no different from the nomads of the grasslands, and the establishment is divided into 10 people, 100 people, 1,000 people, and 10,000 people from small to large.

Soon, the 20,000 troops of the Qingyi clan rushed to the large formation of the Broken Army, and the troops that formed the large formation of the Broken Army were all the elite of the trapped camp, and the 160,000 cavalry of the four cavalry brigades of the Guards Legion stayed behind the various infantry battle formations of the trapped camp.

The combat effectiveness of the Qingyi army is quite good, and the two 10,000 troops who fought in the battle can be described as fearless of death against the attack of the infantry battle formation in the trapped camp, but in front of the soldiers in the trapped camp equipped with iron armor, shields, spears and strong crossbows, these two 10,000 troops of the Qing Yi nationality are like waves hitting the rocks, although they stir up bursts of waves, but they have no way to deal with the infantry battle formation that is as stable as a rock in the camp.

Wumeng Ergu, the king of the western part of the Qingyi tribe, saw that the two Qingyi 10,000 troops attacked the infantry battle formation of the Broken Army with no effect, and immediately invested another 80,000 troops, but unfortunately after fighting for a long time, there was still no effect, and the 100,000 troops of the Qing Yi people put into the attack suffered heavy losses.

Umon Ergu immediately decided to let the 100,000-strong team retreat, and Wang Ben, the commander of the Guards Legion of the Broken Army, saw that the troops of the Qingyi Tribe's attack on the trapped camp were about to retreat, and immediately ordered the four cavalry brigades of the Guards Regiment to attack, pursue and kill the defeated soldiers of the Qingyi Tribe, and take advantage of the situation to attack the Qingyi Clan's large array.

After the four cavalry brigades of the Guards Corps attacked, they killed many retreating Qingyi soldiers, but these four cavalry brigades encountered very big trouble when they chased the defeated Qingyi soldiers and attacked the infantry battle formation laid by the Qingyi people.

The soldiers of the Qing Yi nationality are equipped with a long weapon, and the long wooden pole is equipped with an iron hook with a blade, which can be cut and pulled, and the iron shields and crossbow arrows equipped by the Qing Yi soldiers brought very large casualties to the cavalry of the Broken Army.

In addition, the Qingyi soldiers are not afraid of death, as a result, the four cavalry brigades of the Guards Legion have attacked several infantry battle formations of the Qingyi Nationality several times in a row, but they have not defeated a single infantry battle formation of the Qingyi Nationality, and the commander of the Guards Legion, Wang Ben, saw this situation, so he had to order the four cavalry brigades to stop the attack, and at this time, the four cavalry brigades of the Guards Legion have lost thousands of cavalry.

On the side of the main formation of the Broken Army, Gao Shun suggested to Wang Ben: "The army of the Qingyi tribe is all infantry, it is better to let the trapped camp attack directly, the cavalry of our four cavalry brigades does not seem to be able to find the weakness of the Qingyi infantry battle formation." ”

Wang Ben frowned and said: "The Qingyi clan is worthy of being one of the two powerful clans in the 100,000 mountains, and it does have some ability, the infantry battle array of the Qingyi clan is the same as the infantry battle array of our broken army, which specializes in restraining cavalry, it seems that the only way to let the trapped camp attack and try to break through the infantry battle array of the Qingyi tribe." ”

Gao Shun then personally led 50,000 soldiers to attack the Qingyi clan's large array, and as a result, the attack of the trapping camp, although it brought huge losses to the Qingyi army, but the trapping camp itself also suffered very large casualties, and finally did not want to let the trapping camp lose too much Guards Commander Wang Ben, issued an order to the trapping camp to stop the attack.

Wumeng Ergu, the king of the western Qing Yi tribe, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the infantry of the Broken Capture Army retreating, and not only did not give the order to pursue, but immediately led the Qing Yi army and other armies of various ethnic groups attached to the Qing Yi to retreat to the county seat of Luotang County.

In the first battle between the Broken Army and the Eastern Barbarian Coalition Army, the two sides could be said to be evenly matched, and neither the Broken Army nor the Eastern Barbarian Coalition Army had an absolute upper hand.
