Chapter Ninety-Four: Hunger and Hunger (2)
Under the defeat of the enemy's leading general Wuhan, with thousands of defeated soldiers, he ran west for more than 30 miles in the desert, and saw that Fanxiang was chasing very closely, and found that he couldn't hide, so he was angry in his heart, so he simply put down his position and prepared to fight.
He saw that Fanxiang and the others were cavalry, so he ordered all the soldiers to dismount and set up a formation. Wu Han is good at a special cavalry infantry combat method: the cavalry dismounts, five people form a group, four of them in front of the foot battle, forming a fish scale arrow formation, one person in the back to take care of the horse, if the victory is achieved, then ride on the horse in pursuit.
Fan Xiang led nearly 800 warriors to chase the Wuhan army, about a stone's throw away, only to see that in the hinterland of the Taklamakan desert, more than 3,000 grassland cavalry of the Wuhan dismounted, holding shields as infantry to form a fish scale array, and hundreds of cavalry from the elite and some of the garrison cavalry that followed, prancing horses and raising swords ready to charge.
This infantry scale and arrow formation method has an amazing combat effect on the cavalry.
The elite cavalry launched the charge first, and the protective armor of the garrison cavalry was not too good, and they were shot off their horses one after another, and the Rui Shi clan was also blocked. Wu Han was overjoyed, ordered the infantry array to move forward, and the elite cavalry launched a surprise attack again, the infantry array fired thousands of arrows, and the war horses without armor protection were shot to death, and many of the war horses of the wall-breaking army were shot in the legs of the horses and could not advance.
Fan Xiang was furious and ordered the Rui Shi clan and the soldiers of the Broken Wall Army to dismount and run on foot with Mo Dao to attack.
Fan Xiang held the Xuanbing Broken Knife in his hand, and rode the Divine Horse Tu Mole Dazi to take the lead in rushing towards the enemy soldiers, and even the people with the shield cut the enemy in two sections, and slashed and killed more than a dozen enemy soldiers one after another. And with the huge impact of the earth mole, the enemy's fish scale arrow array was rushed out of a gap, and the twenty-eight sharp warrior team followed.
The Mo knife used by the elite team is two feet long, and the scimitar of the devil servant army is not long enough. The elite battle array led by Fan Xiang is a three-dimensional, multi-arms organic combat whole, strong bow shooting, horizontal knife close stabbing, Mo knife slashing, among which the role of Mo knife killing array can not be underestimated, hundreds of wall-breaking warriors holding long-handled Mo knives form a battle formation, such as a barrier, such as a frenzy, whether it is to meet the enemy or pursue, it is enough to make the enemy fearful.
In close combat, the sharp soldiers and the wall-breaking army shouted loudly with long knives, marching like a wall, fighting hard, and invincible. Before the devil soldiers could reach the elite team, they were split into two pieces by a knife and a shield, and they were soon unable to parry.
Mei Duoer saw that the enemy's formation was different, so he carefully observed, and then, decisively led the red-clothed thirteen Ying and hundreds of garrison cavalry to suddenly bypass the Wuhan infantry arrow and shield array, quickly detoured, and rushed to the rear of the devil army formation.
After a burst of impact from the elite team, the Wuhan devil foot knights were dumbfounded, they couldn't beat the long knife if they wanted to move forward, and the horses were no longer there if they wanted to escape. The devil soldiers were captured by the elite cavalry, and many of them were taken prisoner.
The leading general of the Beigong Servant Army, Wu Rare, was not in a good situation, and took several personal soldiers to break through the siege of the wall-breaking army and fled to Moxi Micheng, but when he was fleeing, he was shot under the horse by Mei Duoer with an arrow behind the army formation, and rushed forward and slashed the head with a knife.
In the yellow sand of the desert, the heroic shouts of killing disappeared, and the groans of pain also disappeared. A touch of remnant sun is like blood, reflecting the blood and stumps all over the ground in the blood, adding to the slaughter and desolation of the empty desert.
After the first battle, the elite team beheaded more than 3,000 ranks, captured more than 1,000 enemy soldiers, 100 transport vehicles, more than 4,000 good horses in the north, and thousands of ordnance. Under the leadership of the great general Fanxiang, the absolute victory of the 800 warrior team of Jingjie annihilated a 5,000-strong army formation with zero casualties was written into the history of the war in another world by later generations, and was regarded as a classic example of fighting with fewer victories and more long-distance battles for the later armies of the other world.
Fan Xiang led the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, clean up the capture, and suddenly saw a scout soldier galloping from the direction of Jingjue City in the east, and when he came to the front, he turned over and dismounted, and said: "Report to the general, today I found that there are 10,000 troops of the Beigong Eastern Expeditionary Army, the Southern Expeditionary Army and the Western Expeditionary Army each marching towards my Jingjue City, respectively, led by the general of the Beigong servant army under the tent of Shi Hu, the general of the Southern General Murong Ling, the general Yin Xu, and the general of the Western Left General Murong Shao, led by Wu Yuan, the purpose of the march is unknown. The three armies have joined forces in the middle reaches of the Zddo River to form a coalition army, and they are now coming along the Zdunhe Valley, less than 150 miles from the east gate of our Jingjue City. Please, General, decide!"
"Okay, got it, you go back quickly, and then probe and report again. ”
"Whoa!" the scout stood up, mounted his horse, and galloped eastward.
According to the situation, Fan Xiang felt that the garrison of a thousand-man army in Heiyou Mountain was not a powerful support force in itself, so he decided to withdraw the thousand-man team to Jingjue City, leaving only a hundred-man team to garrison.
Fan Xiang ordered the commander of the former Black Oil Mountain garrison to take the remaining 500 soldiers to escort prisoners, ordnance, horses, and 100 transport vehicles full of oil back to the city. Each soldier of the 800 clan brought one more captured northern horse, and before he had time to rest, he came with Fanxiang in a hurry.
For about half an hour, the team bypassed the swamp and entered the Elite City through the West Gate.
From west to east, through the city, out of the east gate, five miles outside the city, only to see the elite beggar army flag rolled, it was Fan Kun who led the troops to patrol on a low hill. Then he longitudinated on the earth mole god horse, galloped to the post, only to see the endless flat grassland under the hill, ten miles away, the flags are dense, the war horse neighs, the south, west and east of the Beigong servant army is stationed here.
This is a formidable huge army, the number of the Beigong Servant Army's three-way alliance is far more than the elite rebel army, and the armies have always been invincible across all countries, and they do not put the newly built thousands of elite beggar troops in their eyes, which is very arrogant.
The three improvised coalition armies had a dispute before the battle, and none of the coalition generals were willing to attack the city first. This led to a fatal flaw in the coalition formation, where the three coalition forces were too loose to support each other.
The commander of the East Road is a close general of Shi Hu, the commander of the East Road, and what this person is best at is the attack and combat of light troops, and the formation of a defensive formation while marching will suffocate this anxious son; Yin Xu, the general of the South Road, is a relatively good general, and at this time he and his son Yin Yan led his troops in the rear position on the left side of the left forward. The father and son are both battlefield masters who can be called generals, especially Yin Yan, who is good at managing the army and treating soldiers, and is very loved by the soldiers;
The three generals were not attached to each other, but Yin Yan was quite sensible, and suggested that the three armies be divided into the first three armies of the left and center, with Rhino as the front army and Wu Yuan as the middle army, and he would lead the left army by himself, and first send a team of 1,000 people to go out of the mountains to fight in order to explore the reality of the enemy's military formation. The Rhino Storm advocated that the whole army should attack immediately and concentrate all the way to attack the east gate of the Elite City. Wu Yuan relied on his own estimation and thought that as long as he grasped the main force of the Elite Army, slowly advanced the troops in parallel, and formed a formation to defend himself, he could destroy it in one fell swoop, but this was wishful thinking, in fact, at present, he did not even know the specific location of the main force of the Elite Army, but only judged a general direction.
General Rhino was noncommittal about the division of the three armies.
Wu Kite then led the Chinese army and ordered to form a formation and move slowly. Rhino Storm is known as the "fierce general" of the three armies in the servant army, has a good kung fu, and is not afraid of death. Now, this fierce general can't control his own ** to win, and he strides forward, and the distance between the Chinese army and the left army is too much, and there is a disconnect, leaving a gap of several miles in the middle.
Wu Yuan, the general of the Chinese army, saw that his army was tightly arrayed and that it was noon, so he ordered the three armies to bury the pot and make rice.
With regard to the understanding of the Beigong Servant Army, although Fan Xiang is not confident, he also has some experience. The constant real-time military information from the scout army has given him a certain understanding of the coordination, combat power and command ability of the leading generals under the hill. At this time, Fanxiang is like the book of war: "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." ”
At this time, the rhino rebel army was prominently exposed in front of the three armies, while the remaining two armies were several miles behind the flank of the rhino rebel army, leaving a large gap in the middle.
All of this is seen by the fragrance on the hill, and the real general is manifested in the strategizing. The two armies intersected, and the military plane was fleeting, and that was enough, and the huge gap between the enemy forces had become a sharp knife in his hand.
Fanxiang chose the moment when the army raised fire to make food, and the military order was to use the smoke of the enemy army as a signal.
The battle began, and Fanxiang commanded the army to slowly approach the Rhino Storm Army first, making it look like they were about to attack this advancing army.
The rhino rebel army is in full array, and in the midst of the rolling flags, the swords and guns are like a forest, and they are extremely majestic.
At this time, if the elite beggar army really attacked the rhino rebel army first, it may not be able to take advantage, because the number of elite soldiers is small at this time, and the soldiers and weapons of the rhino rebel army are famous for their courage and excellence in the Beigong servant army.
Fan Xiang did not adopt this method of strong attack, he commanded Fan Kun to lead a thousand troops in front of the rhino riot army into a gun and shield array, clamoring and feintting, and when the attention of the rhino riot army was attracted by the elite army in front of him, he led the eight hundred clan as a surprise army, from the right flank of the battlefield to attack the Wu Yuan Zhong army.
The light cavalry slanted through the gap.
Caught off guard, the soldiers who were preparing to eat were run over by the elite team that blew like the wind, and when they came back to their senses and gathered to resist, the elite team had already swept through the Chinese army, leaving only a mess and a large number of soldiers who were injured or killed by arrows. Wu Kite urgently ordered the sergeants to beat the drums and encourage the sergeants to surround and annihilate the elite team, but the terrain around the Elite Oasis is really wide and flat, and the Chinese army generals are in a hurry, how can they stop this brave army that is like a wild rush?
When the left army turned around and ran in the chaos, the elite team was long gone, leaving behind countless corpses and hoof prints.
Fan Xiang took this team out of the Chinese army and saw the left army
Rushing, the formation was chaotic, so he waved his knife to the left, longitudinal Tumole Divine Horse, and penetrated the tail wing of Yin Xu's left army from the rear wing.
Yin Xu's left army went out to the Chinese army, was killed by Fan Xiang from the tail wing, and in a hurry even the most basic military formation could not be formed, and was quickly divided and defeated by the elite team, Fan Xiang led eight hundred warriors to rampage in Yin Xu's left army, as if entering a no-man's land, only to see that the mountains were full of soldiers of Yin Xu's left army who were fleeing.
Wu Kite Zhongjun has just been hit hard, at this time and see the tragic situation of Yin Xu's left army, the morale of the Chinese army has begun to waver, Fan Xiang is surrounded by thousands of troops, seeing that the enemy's army has been depressed, so he shouted, led 800 warriors straight into the big tent of Wu Kite Zhongjun Palace. Wu Kite rode in front of the big tent, and was commanding the armies to fight, when he suddenly saw a young general riding a strange beast, waving a broken knife in his hand, and came straight to himself, hurriedly raised the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Who is coming?"
"Qinggang Mountain Doutian Fan Xiang is also!"
Fan Xiang shouted, and the prancing horse swung his sword forward, and went straight to the martial kite without hesitation. Seeing the fierce and vicious situation, Wu Yuan didn't have time to think about it, so he raised the spear in his hand and came to meet it. Fan Xiang's crotch under the earth mole god horse rushed very fast, in a blink of an eye, it was already in front of the Wu Kite horse, seeing the Wu Kite with a gun, did not talk, fit and jumped, left the saddle, pounced on the Wu Kite, the broken knife in the air cut a blue cold light, the knife light passed, the Wu Kite was already separated. Fanxiang landed on the ground, grabbed a step, lifted the head of the martial kite from the ground, put the earth mole on his body, held the head of the martial kite, galloped in the middle of the army, and shouted: "Those who descend live, and those who do not descend die!"
The left army and the rest of the Chinese army saw each other, and the morale of the army was lost, and they all hesitated.
Under the loss of the army's morale, the former army of the rhino storm turned back and saw that the Chinese army and the left army had collapsed, and the fierce spirit was completely dissipated, and the sophisticated equipment was useless. The elite team that had just defeated the left army and the central army had already penetrated directly into the flank of the front army of the rhino storm.
Under the combined attack before and after, the resistance of the front army of the rhino storm instantly turned into a rout, Fan Xiang took the opportunity to launch a pursuit, and nearly two thousand elite teams were divided into several three-star teams, attacking from all sides, and thousands of horses were divided, engulfing thousands of people. In one fell swoop, more than 24,000 enemy soldiers were beheaded, the Beigong Third Route Coalition Army was annihilated, the East Road General Rhino Storm and the West Road General Wu Yuan were killed, the South Road General Yin Xu and his son Yin Yan, and more than 4,000 Beigong servants were captured by the Elite Beggars.
In this battle, the generals of the coalition army did not cooperate and refused to fight the forward, this state has already committed a taboo in the soldiers, and then the combination of the three armies is not close, which gives the elite begging army an opportunity. Van Xiang skillfully exploited this weakness, first luring the enemy's salient with a small force, and then storming its negligent Chinese army, after defeating the Chinese army, stirring the left army's formation, and finally flanking the prominent front army, thus winning the victory in one fell swoop.
In this battle, the elite righteous army won a complete victory. All the soldiers who participated in the war were promoted according to their merits.
Although the scale of this battle was small, it was the first truly great victory in the other world, which shattered the myth of the invincibility of the Devil Army, lifted people's hearts, and at the same time gave hope to the people of this other world who were alone on the spiral arm of the galaxy. For a time, the currents of thought such as capitulationism, escapitism, and appeasementism, which were all in the rage, gradually converged, and heroism and iron-blooded doctrine gradually began to become the mainstream of otherworldly thoughts.
From then on, the Beigong servant army regarded Fanxiang and the "Elite Twenty-Eight Elites", "Thirteen Heroes in Red" and "Exquisite Broken Wall Army" led by Fanxiang as evil gods, and no longer dared to despise this Western Regions rebel army, and Fanxiang became famous.
When the army returned to the city in victory, they were welcomed by many people along the way, and Mei Lingfeng, the king of excellence, personally led the generals to the east gate to greet them. Since then, the reputation of the exquisite ancient city has spread far and wide, and some homeless people or small groups of rebels have come to visit it day by day. The number of citizens of the city gradually increased, and the military strength gradually increased.
The more than 4,000 captured enemy soldiers who were willing to join the rebel army were transferred to various battalions, and those who were unwilling to join the rebel army were given travel expenses and allowed to return home on their own. In addition to a very small number of hundreds of captives who were unwilling to join and just wanted to go home, the total number of soldiers in the ranks of the Righteous Army increased by 4,600 soldiers, plus the 1,000 soldiers of Fan Kun Surrender, so far, the total number of the Elite Righteous Army has increased to more than 10,000 brave soldiers, which is also a large military force in the entire Anti-Japanese War in the entire other world at that time.
Yin Xu and his son Yin Yan were impressed by Fanxiang's benevolence and commanding power, and they were also willing to join the Elite Beggar Army and become a rare commander of the Elite Righteous Army.
Afterwards, Fanxiang held a war summary meeting, and made a comprehensive analysis of the performance of these elite teams on the battlefield, pointed out the shortcomings and excellent performance of this battle, emphasized the importance of seizing fleeting fighters in the process of operation, and the strategy of improvising according to the development trend of the war, especially praised Mei Duoer for seizing the favorable fighter in this war and eliminating the rear military force of the enemy army in Heiyou Mountain, which laid a good foundation for the total annihilation of the enemy army in Heiyou Mountain in this campaign。
The proud smile on Mei Duoer's face naturally hung on her face for several days, so that every time she saw Fanxiang, she smiled, like a big child, without a proper shape.
