Chapter 30: Betrayal
This was a chain reaction, the appearance of the first deserter drove a whole platoon of soldiers around him to flee together, and the soldiers in the front row, who were already in a state of war and retreated while fighting, couldn't care about anything at this moment.
The soldiers in the front row were already frightened, so they simply threw away their weapons, knelt on the ground, and raised their hands in surrender, while the soldiers in the back rushed to the back.
Wang Huaqiang threw away the longbow in his hand, used his best strength, and shouted at the surrounding soldiers: "Pursue with all your might, don't pick up the weapons and armor on the ground, quickly, defeat the enemy army, just this move!" As he spoke, he quickly kicked the butts of two croppers who were stripping dead men on the ground.
Wang Huaqiang's words full of vigor and majesty spread all over the battlefield at once, and the croppers all raised their knives and guns or farm tools in their hands, shouting and rushing forward, and the black-clothed soldiers under Wang Hua's division also stopped harvesting on the spot to repay the merits, and chased the defeated soldiers of the Chen army all the way.
The archers and veterans on the northeastern heights also rushed down, and the archers who had finished shooting their arrows all abandoned their bows and drew their swords, like tigers in the mountains, and crashed into the enemy's rear army from the side, while the veterans rushed straight towards Wang Huaqiang.
Wang Huaqiang said to Uncle Fu Quan: "Uncle Fu Quan, you still have to take good care of these prisoners, now that the enemy army is in chaos, the front army has broken up the formation of the Chinese army, I will lead people to completely defeat them in one go." ”
Uncle Fu Quan said energetically: "Wang Dudu, we have all obeyed you this time, we will do whatever you say, don't worry!" By the way, the second son wants me to pass the word, he is waiting for others in the high ground, he can't come now, this place is completely handed over to you, receiving the army is the first priority, remember!"
After he said this, he turned to the Chen soldiers who knelt in front of him, and there were more than two hundred soldiers: "All untie my trouser belts and tie each other's hands, which one is loose, don't blame grandpa's knife for not knowing anyone!"
Wang Huaqiang has no intention of continuing to entangle with these hundreds of captives, and now the enemy army has been defeated, but there is still the possibility of reinforcements coming, and it is necessary to eliminate these 3,000 Chen troops before the enemy's next batch of reinforcements comes, so that it is possible to continue to hold on.
Wang Huaqiang thought as he ran forward quickly, wearing thick leather armor, sweating profusely in this cold winter night.
The front has fallen into a scuffle, Chen's central army lined up a shield wall, but it still can't stop the rout of the front army of its own side that is rampage like a rhinoceros, and the black-clothed Grim Reaper led by Wang Huashi is leading more than 800 croppers to attack all the way, and when they see the earthy yellow Chen army, they are slashed.
From a distance, Wang Huaqiang only saw that the chief general of the Chen army was riding a tall horse, surrounded by his guards, waving the big knife in his hand, and screaming wildly.
Wang Huaqiang sneered, this guy's target is even more conspicuous than the former army commander in front, and he is still riding a horse, presumably it is that Liu Yitong.
As long as you copy the legend of the previous Divine Bow, shoot him with an arrow, and the enemy's Chinese army will collapse, and the battle will be won.
Thinking of this, Wang Huaqiang stopped, and pulled out the longbow and wolf tooth arrow from the body of another guard beside him, for some reason, his heart began to beat violently, and his left eyelid also began to beat wildly.
But Wang Huaqiang didn't have time to think about it now, all the standard bows brought by the strong men in Guanzhong this time were about two stones. He held his breath, tied up his horse, bent his bow and arrows, and the bowstring slowly pulled to his squinted right eye, and in his left eye, there was only Liu Yitong in a red robe and bright armor all over his body.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Wang Huaqiang's mouth, as long as his hand was loosened, the enemy general would fall off the horse again, but at this time he heard a dense whistling sound, which was the sound of thousands of arrows breaking through the air, and Liu Yitong in his eyes suddenly had an extra arrow on his neck, and he planted the horse directly.
Before Wang Huaqiang's mouth could be closed, he suddenly felt that his left arm was numb, as if he had stung a scorpion heavily, and then the guards around him threw themselves to the ground, and the sound of sharp arrows entering his body and screams kept echoing in his ears.
Lying on the cold frozen ground, Wang Huaqiang's brain was spinning rapidly, and he saw that the arrows in front of him were like flying locusts, pouring down into the crowd of people who were fighting with torches, whether it was the soldiers of Chen's army or the people of his own side, they were swept to the ground one by one like cutting wheat by this rain of arrows.
Since neither side had an iron-clad shield, there was almost no resistance under the attack of this rain of arrows, and the two sides invariably stopped fighting each other, brandishing their weapons to block the incoming arrows in the air.
Wang Huaqiang finally understood on the ground that this rain of arrows came from the river in the west, and in the thick fog, the warships on the river did not shoot any lights at all, and they shot at the fire on the shore.
Wang Huaqiang watched his subordinates screaming and being shot into hedgehogs by the rain of arrows like flying locusts, his heart was dripping blood, at this time he didn't care about crushing the enemy army in front of him, he jumped up from the ground all of a sudden, and shouted loudly: "All extinguish the torches and retreat to the high ground, quickly!"
As soon as he heard this, several guards who were blocking the arrows beside him immediately threw the torches in their hands into the river, and the enemy and us on the bank of the river also followed suit, and in the blink of an eye, the riverbank here of the original Chen army and the Chinese army became pitch black.
There was a gong sound on the high ground in the distance, and Wang Huaqiang knew that it was Wang Xu, Uncle Fu Quan, and others who took the risk to indicate the target for themselves, and hurriedly ran there. With the darkness of the firelight, because the target of the attack could not be found, the bow and arrow attack on the river also came to an end for the time being, and the situation of arrows raining down just now stopped temporarily.
Wang Huaqiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked up, and saw that the enemy's rear army, which was more than 200 paces away, did not extinguish the torches like himself, and all the bows and arrows of the enemy turned to them to greet them.
Wang Huaqiang ran for less than two steps, and heard someone next to him shouting: "Second brother, second brother!" When he turned his head, he saw that it was his eldest brother Wang Huashi.
I saw that Wang Huashi's whole body was stained red with blood, and on the leather armor on his chest, two or three deep knife marks were shocking, one of which cut through the armor, and even the skin and flesh inside were cut out.
He had an arrow shaft stuck in his right shoulder, and he had obviously been hit by an arrow just now, but he cut off the tail of the arrow with a single sword, and continued to fight.
Wang Huaqiang instinctively asked, "Big brother, don't worry about your injuries." ”
Wang Huashi said hatefully: "It's okay, I was trying to kill, but I was attacked by Dog Day from the river, and the brothers broke more than half, what should I do now?" ”
In this case, he could still see his relatives, Wang Huaqiang was pleasantly surprised, but soon he realized that he was still on the battlefield and was not out of danger, and by Wang Huashi's side, Ma Laosan and Liu Changshan, who were disheveled and unbearable, also rushed over, and all three of them stared at him anxiously.
Wang Huaqiang pointed to the place where the gong sounded, and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic now, pack up the brothers who can still move, retreat to the high ground, and then find a way." ”
Liu Changshan's tears were about to fall, just now this rain of arrows, his brothers, who did not have any protective gear, were shot down more than half of them at once, less than three hundred people could move, and two or three hundred injured people were lying in a pool of blood and rolling, his eyes were red, and he roared: "The brothers who are still on the ground and can't get up, just throw them down and send them to death?" ”
Wang Huaqiang's heart was also dripping blood, but he realized more clearly that he was now the boss, and he said coldly: "This is a military order, all those who can move, go to the high ground, brothers who can't move, wait until they come down and then save them, quickly!"
Liu Changshan's tiger eyes were full of tears, he stomped his feet fiercely, turned around and shouted: "Brothers, listen, all the people who can still move go up the high slope, quickly!" As he spoke, he picked up one of his legs, was hit by two arrows, crawled on the ground, and carried him on his back and ran with great difficulty towards the high ground.
Ma Laosan had already turned around and ran away when Wang Huaqiang gave the order for the first time. Wang Huaqiang glanced at the dark river surface fiercely, and also turned around and stepped forward, suddenly only heard a terrible wind blowing, Wang Huashi roared, and the huge force pushed Wang Huaqiang to the left, he pounced forward and fell to the ground.
When Wang Huaqiang raised his head from the ground, he saw Wang Huashi standing quietly in place, a bloody lance was piercing out of his chest, he stared at Wang Huaqiang, with a line of blood dripping from his mouth, and shouted with the greatest strength: "Run!"
