Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Fierce Duvoy
The shape is pressing, and the Su Guards have to fight without a fight, and once they retreat, the consequences are unimaginable. Chen Ling gritted his teeth and gave the battle order. The war drums sounded, and the 8,000 large array of the Su Guard Army was launched as a whole, and the speed was not fast, but the formation was neat and uniform step by step, and the Jianghuai Army on the opposite side pressed over, and the army of the Su Guard Army was mighty and powerful.
On the other hand, the Jianghuai army on the opposite side was chaotic, and the black pressure was not in formation, and the 40,000 or 50,000 troops rushed forward overwhelmingly and chaotically.
When the distance between the two armies approached the position of 100 paces, the drum beat changed, the Xiaoguo army stopped its pace, and the formation was slightly reorganized and ready for battle, and the army formation was smashed.
Chen Ling is not stupid, 8,000 people will definitely suffer a loss against 40,000 or 50,000 people. Although the Su Guards are well-trained and have superior weapons and equipment, they can't stand the large number of opponents after all!
Therefore, Chen Ling planned to take advantage of the bow and arrow advantage of the Su Guards to shoot and kill the enemy troops on the way of the Jianghuai army's advance, deplete their vital strength, and hit their morale.
The armies of the two sides entered the range of bows and arrows, and the bows and arrows of the Xiaoguo army were fired at the running Jianghuai army, there was no need to aim at all, the crowd was too dense, and a round of bows and arrows was more than a thousand arrows.
The Jianghuai army was extremely poorly equipped, with only a few shields and three rounds of arrows, and the Jianghuai soldiers turned over on their backs and the front army was suddenly in chaos.
Just when the Jianghuai army was in chaos, the cavalry of the Su Guard Army was dispatched, and they rushed out from the gap between the two wings of the infantry formation and killed the Jianghuai army.
For the chaotic infantry, the cavalry is really a deadly class, and the cavalry of the Su Guard Army rushed into the chaotic army and slashed for a while, and suddenly the stumps and arms were broken, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere, so it was not tragic.
The front army of the Jianghuai army could not stop the torture and killing of the cavalry of the guards, and the momentum at the beginning was consumed a lot by the arrow array, and then after the cavalry rushed to kill, the soldiers of the Jianghuai army were suddenly killed, and some people turned around and ran to crowd with the Jianghuai army behind, which made the scene more and more chaotic. The Jianghuai army, whose morale was hit, was chased by the cavalry of the Su Guards and fled, and the army fell into confusion and soon collapsed.
The first Jianghuai army was defeated, and the army of forty or fifty thousand was defeated by the army of eight thousand of the Su Guard. Looking at the retreating soldiers, Du Fuwei was furious.
Originally, Du Fuwei was determined to win this battle, but he didn't expect the Jianghuai army to be defeated in a battle, how could Du Fuwei be willing?
Du Fuwei was furious, turned his head and said to Fu Gongyou: "Gongyou, you are pressing the formation behind, no matter who attacks this time, as long as you retreat, there will be no mercy!" Forty or fifty thousand horses were defeated by thousands of troops, and they should be shameless? This time, I went into battle in person, and I don't believe that I can't take Chen Ling's talent. ”
Fu Gongyou was shocked, grabbed Du Fuwei's arm, and said eagerly: "Chief, this is the first battle, don't worry." It's too dangerous for you to go into battle in person, let's attack again and take a look, our Jianghuai soldiers and horses will consume them more than him, and the Sui army will not be able to stop it in the end. ”
"No, I have made up my mind, you don't have to persuade me. If you can't take Chen Ling's 8,000 men today, it is better to break up early. Such an army is really frustrating, and this situation must be changed, and success or failure depends on it. ”
Du Fuwei was not just brute force, he selected the most elite members of the Jianghuai army to form a guard, called "Shangzhao", with a strength of 5,000 people.
Du Fuwei took these recruits as his own soldiers, usually very pampered, but the requirements were also very harsh, every battle must be recruited as the vanguard, after the war to check the scars on each person's body, if the wound is in the back, immediately beheaded, because that means that they retreat from the battle.
Every time he was victorious, Du Fuwei rewarded the whole army with the looted assets, and if his men died in battle, they would be buried with the property of the deceased and even their wives and concubines.
It is precisely because of this guard that Du Fuwei has won a lot of battles. Du Fuwei's reputation in the Jianghuai region grew, and the small rebel armies from all walks of life in the Jianghuai region were rushed to join him, and the counties surrendered one after another.
Du Fuwei reorganized the Jianghuai army to attack, and the army attacked first, and Du Fuwei led 5,000 guards to line up in the middle. It was impossible for him to allow his guards to suffer from the attrition of Sui arrows, and it would not be until the melee that they would suddenly join the attack.
It was still the previous routine, the Sui army shot the attacking Jianghuai army with bows and arrows intensively.
The Jianghuai army lacked sufficient defensive shields, and many of them held wooden planks in their hands as protection, and their equipment was rudimentary. Especially with this dense formation, the mortality rate is extremely high.
Behind the formation, Fu Gongyou's broadsword team pressed the formation, and the soldiers attacked forward with a hard head, fighting huge casualties and finally approaching the front of the Sui army.
The cavalry of the Sui army was dispatched, and the sound of galloping horses' hooves knocked on the hearts of the soldiers of the Jianghuai army. The soldiers of the Jianghuai Army, who had experienced a cavalry attack, could not help but be afraid in their hearts, and the formation of the Jianghuai Army once again fell into chaos.
The cavalry that had just begun to charge was indeed unstoppable, and anything they touched under the huge impact force would be knocked away, and the cavalry splashed a blood mist, and the infantry could not stop it at all.
However, with the killing and pursuit, the speed of the cavalry will gradually slow down, and the Jianghuai army has a numerical advantage, and it is almost impossible for more than a thousand cavalry to kill the Jianghuai army, unless the Jianghuai army collapses on its own.
Seeing that the time had come, Du Fuwei shouted: "Sons, kill the enemy with me!" ”
"No, kill the enemy! Fight the enemy! ”
With Du Fuwei's order, the 5,000 guards rushed up murderously past the chaotic Jianghuai army.
I have to say that the timing chosen by Du Fuwei was very good, the cavalry of the Sui army was blocked by the dense soldiers of the Jianghuai army, and the speed was already very slow. At this time, the 5,000 men and horses led by Du Fuwei arrived and rushed into the battle like a tiger descending from a mountain.
"Kill!" Du Fuwei took the lead in joining the battle formation, and the big knife in his hand flew up and down, quite fierce. There was no opponent everywhere he passed, and he did great damage to the Sui cavalry.
Du Fuwei's 5,000 guards formed a small torrent, which severely damaged the cavalry of the Sui army, the war horses were blocked, and the cavalry no longer had the impact force they had just begun.
This is a very dangerous situation, the stalled cavalry is dead in front of many Jianghuai troops, and the Jianghuai army, which has an absolute numerical advantage, will definitely tear these cavalry to pieces.
Just as Du Fuwei's fresh force rushed forward fiercely and scattered the cavalry of the Sui army in one go, one of the Sui generals on the opposite side found that Du Fuwei was the leader, and took advantage of the chaos to shoot an arrow at Du Fuwei, trying to kill the leader of the Jianghuai army.
This arrow was really accurate, and it just hit Du Fuwei.
Du Fuwei was also very good, he didn't care about the arrow on his body, pointed at the Sui general who shot him, and roared: "If I don't kill you, the arrow won't pull out!" ”
Du Fuwei no longer cared about the arrows on his body, and rushed forward fiercely despite the pain......
