Chapter 506: The Moment of Decisive Battle
p
"Order: Let the Mo swordsmen step back and the spearmen go ahead!"
"The whole army contracted its formation, and the longbow carried out a covering shot."
With Wang Zhen's evil order, the Mo Dao hand, who was still ravaging Hu Lu just now, suddenly retreated.
The spearmen formed a formation again, and at the same time, the arrows in the sky were overwhelmingly covering Hu Cai.
Sharp arrows continued to fall from the sky and accurately shot into Hu Qi's body as if they had eyes.
It's not that Wang Zhenwei doesn't want to continue to use the Mo Knife Hand, but the Mo Knife Hand has an Achilles heel - poor continuous combat ability.
And the reason why this is the case has a lot to do with the heavy equipment of the Mo Dao Hand.
In order not to cause the Mo Dao hand to be defeated due to exhaustion, Wang Zhenwei had to replace him early.
However, the Mo swordsmen completed their mission, and they successfully defeated the heavy armored cavalry of the Wei army, intimidating the enemy.
At the same time, the battlefield was deterred by Mo swordsmen, and the Wei cavalry finally mustered up the courage to charge again.
With the sound of trumpets and trampling on the corpses of his companions, Hu Qi was dense like locusts, launching wave after wave of charges.
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves resounded over the entire battlefield.
Soon the Wei cavalry crashed headlong into the spear matrix of Hexi, as if the tide was crashing on the rocks, and blood overflowed.
Under the fierce impact of Hu Cai, the large array of the Liaodong Army shook slightly, and then returned to normal.
Immediately, spears quickly stabbed out and strangled Hu Lu.
In an instant, blood splattered in front of the two armies, and stumps and broken arms could be seen everywhere.
"Kill!"
In the battle array, Wang Zhongde, Xue Tong, Xue Wei and other Hexi generals all turned into fierce tigers, slashing left and right.
Driven by generals at all levels, the Hexi infantry relied on the formation and desperately blocked the impact of the Wei army.
……
Since the start of the war, it was the Wei general in the city who had the most complicated feelings.
At the beginning, he didn't take the 30,000 Hexi foot soldiers into account at all.
thought that with 30,000 invincible Wei army iron cavalry, they could easily encircle and kill the other party.
However, after the war, he realized that things were not so simple.
The Wei army's iron cavalry suffered setbacks one after another, and was never able to break through the Hexi army's large array.
Originally, he thought that Tuoba Lie would arrive in time and assist Yu Liyan in defeating the Hexi army.
Unexpectedly, the left and right are not visible.
Seeing that under the continuous attack of the Mo swordsman, the Wei army's iron cavalry gradually showed a state of collapse.
Seeing this scene, Uncle Sun Jian, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, could no longer sit idly by and decided to go out of the city to help the battle.
Then the city gate was opened, the drawbridge creaked down, and Shusun Jian took 10,000 Wei soldiers out of the city and killed the rear army of the Hexi army.
When Wang Zhenwei saw the Wei army leaving the city, he not only did not feel a trace of panic, but quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yecheng is a famous heroic city in the world, even if there are only 10,000 Wei troops in the city, but for Hexi, if you want to capture Yecheng in the future, you will have to pay a great price.
On the contrary, if the Wei army in the city was lured outside the city to be destroyed, Yecheng would become within reach.
What's more, Li Xian had already reported to him, saying that Li Wei in the city intended to surrender to Hexi and was willing to dedicate Yecheng to Hexi.
Now that the Wei army is all out of the city, it will be more convenient for Li Wei to act.
Wang Zhenwei expected it well, from the moment his uncle and grandson built the city, Li Wei had secretly instructed his henchmen to prepare to launch a mutiny.
……
"Kill......"
The soldiers on both sides of the battlefield, who were fighting together, were startled by the Wei army's foot soldiers who suddenly left the city.
Except for a few people in the know such as Wang Zhenwei, Yu Liyan, and Wang Zhongde, most of the ordinary soldiers have changed their faces drastically.
Whether it was the Hexi people or the Wei people, they temporarily stopped fighting and set their eyes on the people who came.
After a while, when the banner of the Wei army appeared on the battlefield, all the Wei cavalry suddenly let out a shocking cheer.
There were even some Wei cavalry who shed tears of excitement, believing that their side was decided.
Even if Yu Liyan knew all this, when he saw his uncle and grandson, he was still quietly relieved.
The cavalry of the Wei army was unable to take down the Hexi infantry for a long time, and lost the heavy cavalry, and it was almost exhausted.
Now there has been a sudden increase of 10,000 foot soldiers, which has greatly increased Yu Liyan's confidence.
Unlike the further increase in the morale of the Wei army, the Wei army could not help but be disappointed when the Hexi soldiers looked at it.
Even the joy of killing the heavy cavalry of the Wei army was diluted a little, and everyone became worried.
After fighting with the Wei cavalry for so long, although they blocked the opponent's impact, the Hexi infantry had already suffered heavy casualties.
Originally, there were more than 30,000 people in the army, but now only two-thirds are left, and almost all of them are wounded.
In addition, the Wei infantry did not seem to be as threatening as the cavalry, but because they were not bound by horses, their tactics were more flexible.
They can easily entangle with the Hexi people and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Sure enough, after 10,000 Wei army foot soldiers pressed on, the Hexi army's position suddenly became precarious.
Originally, it was not easy for 30,000 foot soldiers to fight against the 30,000 iron cavalry of the Wei army, but now 10,000 foot soldiers have been added, which suddenly put the Hexi foot soldiers in crisis.
But Wang Zhenwei was not in a hurry, and continued to calmly command his subordinates to face the battle.
With the sound of the high and majestic war drums, Xue Wei and Xue Tong each commanded their troops and quickly killed the rear army.
When the war drum of the alarm had just sounded, Shusun Jianbu had already approached the position of the rear army in Hexi.
Although the rear army is all elite soldiers in Hexi, they are all well-trained and well-armed.
But the Wei army came too fast, and before the Hexi soldiers could react, the Wei army infantry had already rushed up.
The rear army was fiercely attacked by the enemy, and for a time it could not resist and retreated again and again.
Xue Tong and Xue Wei saw that it was difficult to stabilize their positions, so they immediately took the soldiers of the guards to go up.
They all knew that they could not retreat at the moment, and the front army had not yet been broken through by the Wei army at this time.
If the rear army retreats, the position of the Chinese army and the central army will be disrupted, which will cause chaos in the whole army.
When chaos is combined, the command of the army will fail, which will inevitably lead to the rout of the entire army.
At that time, let alone defeat the enemy, I am afraid that there will be no chance to even break through and escape.
Xue Tong and Xue Wei roared angrily, opening and closing the war knives left and right in their hands, splitting several people in a row.
The soldiers of the guards followed the two closely, and everyone gathered together, as if a bundle of sharp arrows were shot at the same time, and they were invincible.
"Kill, kill the enemy......"
"Blocking ......"
"Brothers, kill back, kill back......"
Xue Tong kept shouting loudly while fighting hard, and the soldiers who guarded the tun echoed loudly, and the sound shook the four fields.
Later, the sergeants were gradually inspired by Xue Tong's bravery, and they followed closely behind Xue Tong and rushed forward heroically.
Suddenly, the soldiers of the enemy and us fought fiercely, and the shouts of killing were deafening.
Under the desperate resistance of Xue Tong, the Wei army's infantry finally contained its violent offensive, and the situation gradually fell into anxiety.
The war continued, and the enemy and us had begun to engage each other in close combat, and the Hulu and Hexi people were intertwined with each other.
Under the siege of the enemy on all sides, the Hexi Army's position was finally lost, and a considerable number of enemy troops were pouring in from various gaps.
"Kill"
Wang Zhen roared viciously and slashed to death a Hu Lu who had just rushed up, and was immediately splattered with blood into a bloody man.
Before he could wipe the blood off his face, another Hu Lu tried to sneak attack, but he was split in two with a backhand.
Cutting all the way, even he didn't remember how many Hulu he had killed, and the armor on his body had long been soaked in blood.
And the continuous slashing even made his arms tingle.
"Let the crossbowmen join the fight!"
Seeing that the defense line was becoming more and more dangerous, Wang Zhenwei waved his long knife and gave orders in a loud voice.
After receiving the order, the crossbowmen immediately drew their horizontal swords and lined up to kill them.
Crossbowmen are rarely directly involved in combat, but they are not lacking in fighting skills.
Usually participate in hand-to-hand combat training, otherwise Hexi would not have issued them horizontal knives.
The crossbowmen finally stabilized their position a little, allowing the defenders everywhere to take a breather.
The two sides had been fighting for more than a few hours, from morning to afternoon.
At this time, the Hexi Army was gradually at a disadvantage, and the casualties were getting heavier and heavier.
If you want to recover the decline, you can only rely on reinforcements, but where are the reinforcements of the Hexi Army?
At this moment, Tan Dao Jiqin led 20,000 cavalry to quietly surround him......
