XVI. Corps combined attack
"What? Lu Xiang, Zhu Ling and other generals were killed, and the enemy broke the formation with thousands of horses? Zhang He, who got the news, finally changed color on his face.
"The command of our army is out of order, the formation is in chaos, the soldiers are fighting separately, a large number of torches have been found a mile away, obviously He Chen has been covered up for the Chinese army."
"Immediately ordered Zhao Rui's cavalry to go out of the battle, cut off the opponent's main army, and ordered Lu Kuang to lead 10,000 soldiers to support the battlefield, so that Zhang Tong was ready to reload the halberd warriors and rush to the battlefield with this general." Although Zhang He's dispatch is decent, there is still an obvious gap in experience compared with the first general in the late Wei period, if he can consider the difficulties of the battlefield more comprehensively, and have all the preparations for He Chen's famous special forces, the battle situation is definitely not like this.
"By the way, have General Wen Chou's reinforcements come up?"
"General Hui, he is already halfway there, and he is expected to join the battlefield in an hour."
"Okay." Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and He Chenshi's shocking counterattack made him feel a little overwhelmed.
The progress of the battle situation was somewhat unexpected to him, as soon as Zhao Rui's cavalry was dispatched, it was intercepted and killed by Lou Gui's 5,000 cavalry halfway, and the two armies began to fight. Before he came to his senses, Hu Chuquan led 10,000 Hun cavalry to roar, and the Hebei army, which had been ravaged by Zhao Yun's "Fierce Iron Cavalry", was almost chopped vegetables and melons, and rushed to the ground in an instant, nearly 10,000 soldiers who lost their command system, under the Hun Iron Cavalry, like ripe spring peaches, were still picked. If it weren't for Cen Bi, the vanguard of Wenchou, who led thousands of cavalry to the battlefield to support him first, he was afraid that Huchuquan would be able to swallow tens of thousands of soldiers in a battle. When Zhang He led the heavily armored halberd soldiers to the front-line position, the outer battalion had already turned into a sea of fire, illuminating the entire camp, and countless soldiers with clear banners and bright clothes were caught and killed.
The loud sound of the conch horn came from far away wave after wave, and the sound of war drums throughout the sky and the earth stirred up the water all night. Wearing beige light armor, unified sword and shield, and stabbing soldiers, the state army, a group of five, a team of ten, a group of 100 people, and a group of 1,000 people, under the command of General Qu, kept pouring into Dazhai like a tide. All the Hebei Army, although there are quite a few people, feel like a light boat in the sea, in the turbulent waves, there is a possibility of capsizing at any time.
The ground was already full of corpses, and in the skyrocketing fire and thick black smoke, each of them had a strange way of dying. Some of them had arrows stuck in their backs and fell straight to the ground; Some are facing the sky on their backs, clutching the spear in their abdomen with both hands, and their hands are full of crimson; There are also shoulders, stomachs, slashed with knives, stabbed with guns, and so on, and there are even heads full of messy hair, and the whole body does not know where to fly. Most of their death expressions were hideous, and their bodies still had residual warmth, and their blood was steaming with bursts of heat.
Zhang He's body was a little cold, although Lu Kuang had already led the soldiers to join the battlefield, but the entire defense line still could not organize an effective defense, and it was obviously chaotic, and was divided into dozens of large units by tens of thousands of soldiers and states, fighting separately. From this aspect, it can be seen that the Hebei Army is small in terms of team rate and large general, and its organizational and command ability is superior to that of the state.
Seeing that the men and horses on the other side were retreating step by step, and the defense line was becoming more and more compressed, Zhang He finally couldn't sit still, pulled out his knife casually, turned to the deputy general and said sharply: "Lead, you come to command the army." ”
"General, let your subordinates lead the troops up, and you still have to command the various military departments." He is not very old, only about 278, but he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he is a very good general. Among Yuan Shao's generals, aside from the four court pillars, there are not many who can really leave a legacy in history. Ju Yi, Zhu Ling, and a few people are recruited. After the defeat of Guandu, Gao Gan wanted to be involved, and after the latter learned the news, because he was separated from Yuan Shang, he took refuge in Cao Ying, and since then he has begun to shine in the glorious footprints of his life. Whether it is to appease Wuhuan and Xianbei, or to break Kebineng, or to guard Yanmen for more than ten years, it is definitely a big sword for foreign races in the history of the Three Kingdoms. His exploits were by no means lost to Tian Yu, who was also known as the first general in northern Xinjiang under Cao Ying.
"Zi Jingxiu has to say more, on-the-spot response, scheduling matters, military trumpet orders, you are not losing to this general, now the thieves are strong, the front line is in crisis, and General Wen's reinforcements have not yet arrived, if the general leads the Qu Department forward, it will inevitably inspire the soldiers, the three armies will take the lead, and you don't have to say anything about it."
"Zhang Tong, Euphorbia, follow General Ben."
…… He Chen led the Chinese army, and only the remaining Qu Department and 40,000 soldiers around him had already pressed the border on all fronts, burning the flames of war to Zhanghe's defense village.
"Report ......, General Zhao picked more than ten generals from Yuan's battalion and set fire to dozens of battalions."
"Report ......, General Lou's cavalry and Zhao Rui hedged, and the battle was anxious. King Huxian sang and marched forward, even beheaded several generals of Yutong and Wang Hai, and the light cavalry of Yubi was defeated and retreated, and the Hun cavalry bit their tails and chased directly. ”
"Report ......, Hao Bi was hit by more than ten arrows in his body, and he has been rescued, and his life is in serious danger......
"Report ......, Zhao Ya will continue to repel the Hebei offensive, and Dazhai will be as stable as Mount Tai."
"Report ......, Wen Chou's 30,000 foot soldiers joined the battlefield after about half an hour, the Zhangshui upper stream was brightly lit, and Jiang Qi's 30,000 troops swam across overnight, ready to support Zhang He."
"Report ......, Zhang He joined the battlefield with his own department. The enemy's strength was greatly strengthened, and the intensity of the counterattack was greatly increased. ”
"Report ......, Zhang He led the big 'Euphorbia' to assist the shield soldiers, and our army's advance was blocked......"
"Hmph, Zhang He finally couldn't help it?" He Chen snorted lightly, his face was full of complicated expressions, on the one hand, the battle situation has entered the most critical moment, if Zhang He can be defeated in one fell swoop, the defeat of the Hebei army is decided, even if Wen Chou and Jiang Qi join the battlefield, it will be useless. But on the other hand, He Chenda likes this famous Hebei general who is known for his dexterity and fickleness in commanding troops, if he can take it in, it would be the best, but the sword on the battlefield is ruthless, I am really afraid that if I am not careful, this fierce general will be damaged and will disappear from then on.
"Zhang Xiu, Ji Ling." He Chen put aside a distracting thought and shouted in a deep voice.
"No." The two generals responded to each other's backs.
"Zhang Xiu's main attack, Ji Ling's main defense, and wiped out the 'halberd soldier', known as the first halberd soldier in Hebei. As for Zhang He, he will do everything possible to capture him alive, in case it really doesn't work, life and death will depend on his fate. In the end, He Chen ruthlessly ordered that he could not let his soldiers sacrifice in vain for Zhang He alone.
"Understood." The two generals rode out of the ranks, and each yelled: "Divine sword (gun) guard, up." ”
There is no bloody oath, no passionate slogans, only the sound of heavy and neat footsteps rubbing against the armor, a thousand heavy folding shields engraved with wolf head patterns, and a thousand iron piercing guns with a cold light, in the soldiers' marching forward, with a monstrous murderous aura and suffocating momentum, began to trot towards the front of Dazhai.
Soon, the two centaurs entered the big village where fireworks were billowing and the sound of killing shook the sky.
All the soldiers looked at these two majestic and mighty divisions, and almost at the same time, their spirits were greatly boosted, and their morale skyrocketed to the point that they almost overflowed. The reason why they will not retreat and why they are full of hope for victory is that their lord with unpredictable skills, lord with thorough means, and several special regiments under his command that are invincible and invincible. Now that the two men and horses of the heavy shield and the sharpshooter have been dispatched, does this mean that the lord has won this war and holds the victory again? Each warrior, with a look of envy, respect, and even some adoration on his face, automatically backed off the way so that the two centaurs could quickly get to the front line. Then there was no need for military orders at all, and they spontaneously formed a formation, followed closely behind these two centaurs, and rushed forward without hesitation.
The soldiers who were fighting fiercely in front of them automatically got out of the way and opened up a new battlefield.
This is the influence, cohesion and appeal of the division of a hundred battles.
The Hebei soldiers and Zhang He both looked at these two corps with different weights with some surprise on their faces.
Such a tall shield, except for defensive battles, can rarely be seen pushed onto the battlefield, although these soldiers are not many in number, but they must be infinitely powerful. The shield covered two-thirds of their bodies, and with the shiny black armor on their heads, they all protected their heads tightly, leaving only a pair of murderous eyes, which was a complete pile of iron shells.
Zhang He looked back at the same heavily armored halberd warriors under his command, and couldn't help but feel arrogant, this should be the most forbidden "Divine Sword Guard" under He Chen, right? Then see if it's your shield or a halberd today. Thinking of this, Zhang He suddenly sneered and shouted: "Zhang Tong, get a Pu knife in your hand." ”
"No." Zhang Tong instantly understood Zhang He's intentions, the other party put the heavy shield first, and it must be to prevent his own euphorbia, if he still hedged at this time, he would undoubtedly be a big fool. On the contrary, it is the Pu sword soldiers with round shields, which give full play to their dexterity and light strengths, and under hand-to-hand combat, the clumsy and slow weaknesses of the heavy shield warriors may be exposed.
Zhang He's plan must be described as clever, either you abandon the shield, or you will be surrounded by tricks. But it's a pity that he met He Chen, who is not only good at individual combat, but also good at mixing special forces.
Zhang Tong led thousands of Pu sword soldiers, rushed up with a roar, the momentum was extremely amazing, even in such an unfavorable situation, Yan and Dai soldiers were still brave and fierce.
"Standing shields", all shield soldiers insert folding shields into the ground almost at the same time, erecting a strong fortress. Between every two shields, only a gap remains.
"Thorn." At the same time, Ji Ling's words fell, and Zhang Xiu's shouting sounded. The "sharpshooter guard" hidden behind him stood up with a long iron spear, squatted down in the front row, and accelerated in two steps trotting in the back row, up and down two rows, countless spears on the left and right, without looking at whether there was anyone outside or not, what was the situation, and stabbed out of the gap in the middle of the shield.
"Ahh The Pu Dao soldiers, who rushed to the front, reacted a little slowly, and those who were in a bad position were almost pierced by iron guns on the spot; Even if some of the Pu Dao soldiers have already raised their shields, but under the powerful defense-breaking skill of "Piercing Piercing", even the wooden shield is directly pierced, and the dead can no longer die.
