Chapter 63: Battle Outside the City
Bald Jian didn't think about it, and slowly spoke: "What General Qiyan said is reasonable, right now our army really needs a big victory to improve morale, there are nearly 30,000 defenders in Chuzhou City, twice as many as the enemy, we must not let the thieves suppress the momentum, otherwise, the soldiers in the city will be invisibly afraid of the thieves!" ”
After hearing this, Shodgrad also faintly felt that there was some truth in what he said, so he nodded in agreement, but this recognition made him feel empty in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Good! Since you have no objections, then tomorrow you will gather your troops and horses, take advantage of the fatigue of the thieves from afar, set up a battle, everyone go back and prepare well, recuperate, tomorrow's battle must be won! ”
Bald Jian didn't spend a slap on the table, it was decided, and Shodgrad, Qiyan Uji and others knelt down to receive the order, and a trace of courage and determination to be ashamed of tomorrow rose slightly in their hearts!
At dawn the next day, the sun just rose, and the sound of soldiers shaking sounded in Chuzhou City, and a group of soldiers and horses rushed out of Chuzhou City.
The Yuan general Uliang Harisu led 5,000 sword and shield soldiers to rush ahead, Qiyan Uji led 4,000 pikemen to stand around the main array, and after the 4,000 pikemen was 8,000 cavalry led by Shodegrad.
In the center of the big array, there are 6,000 crossbowmen and 2,000 color eye guards led by Vulture Jian Buhua, these two thousand color eye guards are the guards of King Linfen, the father of Vuld Jian Buhua, given by Emperor Yuan, with strong physique, great strength, cold-blooded and murderous, and later followed Vulture Buhua to Yangzhou Road, if it were not for the protection of these two thousand color eye guards, with the ability of Vulture Jian Buhua and not outstanding, he would have been squeezed out and usurped.
As soon as the formation was formed, Bald Jian ordered the drums to fight, and for a while, countless golden drums rang out, shaking the mountains and shaking the sea, making the whole land seem to be undulating and beating.
When Deng Yu received the scout's letter, he suddenly felt a little surprised, he couldn't figure out how he dared to take the initiative to fight with his bald strength and not to spend that it was not so much cautious as it was to be timid!
Could it be that bald and strong don't have anything to rely on? If so, what will it be?
Despite the doubts in his mind, Deng Yu still called left and right, and informed all the troops to lead the army to fight immediately.
Half an hour later, a team of men and horses in the Dazhai of the Broken Army came out with great momentum, the front of the army was 2,000 cavalry led by Dong Qing, and then, the army was divided into two teams on the left and right, like wings, the left team was 3,000 pikemen led by Lu Zhen, and the right team was 3,000 sword and shield soldiers led by Deng Ming.
The 3,000 crossbowmen of the Chinese army were commanded by Li Ke, and the 3,000 cavalry of the rear army was personally led by Deng Yu, but at this time, he stood by Li Ke's side in order to see the situation clearly and control the overall situation.
I saw Li Kehao's eyes squinting slightly, carefully observing the military formation on the opposite side, and said to Deng Yu after knowing it: "Marshal, the formation of the Yuan army is unremarkable, judging from the fact that they take the shield soldiers as the head and the spearmen as the auxiliary, they use the defensive formation, however, I think the two thousand Yuan soldiers with chain hammers in the Chinese army are all strong and powerful, and they must be the support for the bald and strong people who dare to challenge the marshal, and the marshal can order the generals of all departments to pay close attention to this man." ”
Deng Yu felt that what Li Ke said was very reasonable, so he sent a herald to inform the generals in the formation, and sure enough, as Li Ke said, the Yuan army had been beating drums for almost an hour, but they just didn't attack, it seemed that they were waiting for the broken army to attack first.
Deng Yu didn't hesitate much, and the Tiger Wing Liuyun Knife suddenly drew an arc in mid-air, and then a passionate horn sounded in the large array of the Broken Army.
Dong Qing, who was in the front army, heard this, raised the nine-ring sword and led the two thousand cavalry of the Broken Army to rush out, and at the same time, the soldiers and horses on the left and right wings of Lu Zhen and Deng Ming also began to rush and kill, following behind Dong Qing's cavalry.
In the large array of the Yuan army, Wuliang Harisu saw that the army finally began to attack, and immediately shook his spirits, and ordered five thousand sword and shield hands to pose a huge shield wall, and the four thousand pikemen led by Qiyan Wuji also moved, grabbing the spears in their hands, and as for Bald Jian Buhua, he shouted orders repeatedly, so that six thousand crossbowmen could put their bows on their bows and arrows, ready to shoot at any time.
"Dada! Dada! Dada! ”
Soon, Dong Qing, dressed in pitch-black battle armor, appeared in front of the five thousand sword and shield soldiers led by Wuliang Harisu.
Dong Qing looked at the iron wall in front of him composed of shield walls, his eyes showed a dazzling light, only to see Dong Qing suddenly pull the reins, and actually rode his horse to leap into the air and fall to a shield wall.
The sword and shield soldiers who formed the shield wall did not expect Dong Qing to have such a move, and his face was so frightened that he quickly scattered and fled.
With a 'boom', Dong Qing's horse under his crotch fell to the ground in shock, rolling up a cloud of dust, and the surrounding Yuan saber shield hands immediately raised their big knives to kill Dong Qingwei.
Seeing this, Dong Qing's expression was indifferent, the nine-ring knife flew rapidly, as fast as lightning, and he saw that a few knife flowers accompanied by blood and screams continued to bloom around Dong Qing.
In just a few breaths, the more than ten sword and shield soldiers who rushed in fell down with their necks covered, and the rest of the sword and shield soldiers in the encirclement saw Dong Qing so brave, and they were afraid, and they didn't dare to step forward.
Dong Qing's sharp eyes burst out with bursts of fierce light, slammed the horse's belly, and rode his horse to gallop wantonly in the chaotic army, the nine-ring knife waved non-stop, cutting when he saw people, and sweeping when he met people, like an unstoppable sharp cone, wreaking havoc in the Yuan army tide.
It didn't take long for the two thousand cavalry led by Dong Qing to arrive, because Dong Qing had already opened a breach from the barrier composed of Yuan sabers and shield soldiers, and the two thousand cavalry of the Broken Army entered with this gap, constantly widening the gap.
Wuliang Harisu commanded his subordinates to fill this gap with a strong voice, but it was too late, only to see two thousand cavalry spears of the Broken Army rush forward, charge quickly, stab to death the Yuan saber and shield soldiers who rushed around one by one, and then drove straight in, constantly rushing towards the abdomen of the Yuan army's large array.
"Quick, surround them! As long as the momentum of these enemy cavalry is contained, they will become tigers with their teeth drawn and left to be slaughtered by us!! ”
Uliang Harisu shouted again, and as his order fell, thousands of yuan of saber and shield soldiers immediately formed a huge fishing net and surrounded the cavalry of the Breaker Army.
And at this moment, Lu Zhen and Deng Ming's troops killed, and these two soldiers and horses were like a pair of huge wings, pounced on the sword and shield soldiers of Wuliang Harisu, killing the Yuan army sabers and shield soldiers in a big chaos.
And with the arrival of Lu Zhen and Deng Ming's army, the sword and shield soldiers of Wuliang Harisu could not form a joint encirclement of Dong Qing's cavalry at all, only to see Dong Qing leading the cavalry of the 2,000 broken army to rush faster and faster, and soon met the 4,000 pikemen led by Qiyan Wuji.
Qiyan Wuji had been carefully observing the battle situation, and he found that if it weren't for Dong Qing's superb martial arts and bloodthirsty bravery to make a breach in the iron wall of Wuliang Harisu's sword and shield soldiers, the two thousand cavalry of the Broken Army would never have broken through to his defense line so easily.
Qiyan Wuji pinched his trembling legs vigorously, held his breath and concentrated, and commanded his pikemen to form a formation to block with a solemn face.
