[Chapter 72: The Great Chess Game, in the Game]
PS: This chapter has a lot of words, tomorrow I'm going to Xiamen, and then the day after tomorrow I'm going to Shanghai, there are a lot of things, I may spend about two days on the train, I'm afraid that I won't have time to code words at that time, so I'll write some first as compensation. Of course, when I have time, I will still go to the Internet café to continue coding words! If you can, you will never change! Rest assured, everyone!
Finally, ask for votes!!!
Shen Yun's leisurely days didn't last long, but just a quarter of an hour later, four groups of men and horses from the Yue Clan's cavalry phalanx came to them.
After the gentle slope, the formation of the Yue's cavalry was no longer lined up along the side of the gentle slope, but spread out, in the shape of a gourd, ready to enter the main battlefield from the gentle slope at any time. In this way, Shen Yun and the others did not deviate from the Yue's army at the puddle, but instead rushed towards the Yue's cavalry, which had already lined up the array.
The horses of the Han army have been running at high speed for at least half an hour from the beginning of the Shen period to the present, and the horsepower has been somewhat exhausted, and although the Yueshi cavalry did not carry two or three horsemen as they usually marched, they have not consumed the horsepower, and the horsepower is full, but in just a few ups and downs, they caught up with the Han army.
For a time, the first wave of cavalry battles between the Han cavalry and the Yue's cavalry actually started in the Yue's formation.
The Han cavalry had no choice, and this time they didn't need Zhang Mo or Shen Yun to give orders, they also knew what to do.
"Seek the enemy!" The commanders shouted loudly, and the four-stone bows were opened, and arrows shot at the enemy with a sound of breaking through the air.
The Yue's cavalry did not show weakness, after discovering that there were only more than 200 Han troops who broke into here, their courage was obviously a lot stronger, and the arrow radiation was not inferior to the Han cavalry. Even those Yue's cavalry, who were not ordered to attack and were still in formation, dared to pull out the posture and put one or two arrows on the figure of the Han army. In this way. Shen Yun: They have to be consumed here. It's just two or three wheels of cavalry shooting, Shen Yun heard no less than ten screams, turned his head to look, and from time to time someone in the dense array of Han cavalry behind him fell off his horse, rumbling horse hooves rolled, and the Han army that fell off his horse soon fell silent......
At this moment, they were grazing the edge of the Yue's large array, not daring to get close to the range of the Yue's cavalry's large array, and the Yue's cavalry did not dare to move, so as not to destroy the formation and delay the battle ahead. Only a ranger party can be sent in pursuit. And the cavalry of the Two Thousand Moon Clan, who had been chasing them before, had been chasing with a single horse, so the horsepower consumption was huge, and they were far behind at the moment, but they did not pose a threat for the time being.
"Shen Yun, think of a way! Wait for their cavalry to move. We're going to die here senselessly! Zhang Mo was so anxious that his eyes were red and he yelled at Shen Yun. At this moment, he didn't blame Shen Yun for overstepping his position just now - such a long cavalry formation. On the gentle slope, they rushed out. It's really looking for death. And now, not only did he shoot the enemy, but he could continue to run around in the enemy formation, if Shen Yun could really take them out, this experience was enough to make Zhang Mo brag for a lifetime!
Shen Yun has no way. In fact, Shen Yun was also scolding his mother in his heart! But he didn't scold the Yue's people. It's the director of modern film and television works - damn, what about the other party's boss? In the TV movies in the past, weren't those bosses towering behind the array or in the middle?
Yes, at the most tense moment by the stream just now. Shen Yun just thought of this, and with the idea of shooting people first and shooting horses first, and capturing thieves and capturing kings first, he led people to rush behind the Yue's big array. Of course, at that time, I was thinking more about it, since I wanted to attack the Yue's front row of small soldiers needlessly, it was better to directly attack the enemy's commander Daxu, even if he died, he could disrupt the enemy's formation, right?
But what Shen Yun never expected was that the cavalry brigade of 10,000 people was so vast, it was like a boundless sea of cavalry, and in addition, the commander of the cavalry during the battle, Da Xu, was not conspicuously placed in the back or in the middle - in fact, even if Da Xuan was really placed there, Shen Yun would not be able to see it. As for the reason, it's still the same sentence, the team of 10,000 people is definitely not as small and exquisite as in TV and movies, and its scale is so grand that people can't imagine it!
Shen Yun, who realized that he had once again been framed by modern shoddy film and television works, was also so anxious that the tip of his tongue was on fire at this moment, and his head was covered with sweat: he couldn't find the Yue Clan's boss, where could he rush to attract the attention of the Yue Clan's people? Am I going to die here the first time I go to war? No, I can't die, I'm the protagonist!
If Shen Yun could look at the entire battlefield from a bird's-eye perspective like a modern director at this moment, he could find that their Han army was moving rapidly and unconsciously along the gourd-shaped Yueshi cavalry array. And just behind the cavalry array of two hundred paces in front of them, a large silk embroidered with gold thread and a graphic of the moon floating in the sea as the main body stood proudly......
It's really a black humor. It's close at hand, but it's like the end of the world. Shen Yun's gaze swept over and over the enemy array, but he couldn't find Da Xu. Unexpectedly, Da Xuan was less than two hundred steps away from them.
At this moment, the roar of the horns echoed throughout the entire Yue's Great Array.
"Uh......h Woo...... Woo......"
moved, the Yue's great array moved.
Shen Yun looked up at the sky, the sunset had descended to the westernmost point, and the time had arrived.
"Damn, the rebels of the Yue Clan also chose to attack at the time of the unitary!" Zhang Mo could only shoot an arrow with all his strength at this moment, and then watched as the entire Yue's cavalry formation began to move slowly, and then slowly increased its speed, and gradually, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves began to sweep across the entire land...... Shen Yun helplessly looked at the Yue's cavalry that was crushing towards him like a tsunami, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Film and television works kill people!" Where is the mother's Yue's Daxu? ”
At this moment, Pang Tong suddenly waved a big flag, pointed ahead and shouted: "Da Xu, Yue's Da Xu!" Over there! Due to his overexcitement, Pang Tong's voice became extremely sharp, like a eunuch, as if he could penetrate the entire battlefield.
Shen Yun was shocked, stared at it, and sure enough, as the Yue's cavalry began to move, the extremely majestic Yue's Daxu appeared in front of him very clearly!
"Hahahaha, God won't kill me! Brothers, sharpen the arrows, gouge through them! Shen Yun shouted excitedly, but his shouts were quickly drowned out by the rumbling hooves of horses, and he could only rely on Pang Tong to quickly wave the military flag to signal the rally and charge - this is the real time to charge! The Yue's rangers, who were trailing behind the Han army, quickly dispersed after the large array was launched. Submerged in the various arrays, after all, it was extremely dangerous to stand in front of them when the war horses were galloping.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In fact, after the Holy Ancestor Pingliao War (Shen Yun and Fang Cheng's ancestors rose in this battle because of their meritorious service in saving the driver) was almost "beheaded" by Yan Liangwen Chou under Yuan Shao, few commanders would prominently tree the big silk in the array during the cavalry battle.
The cavalry is a class of troops that is known for its speed and strong breakthroughs, and the battlefield of the cavalry duel is so eye-catching, undoubtedly inviting the other party to "take the head of the general in the million army"! And in the Holy Ancestor period, this kind of peerless fierce general grabbed a lot of them, and almost every general who was in charge had this kind of ability and hobby...... So much so that later the Romans learned this lesson, and no longer dared to make the commander of the Great Tree too eye-catching in the cavalry duel!
Of course, in the presence of infantry escort. After all, in the era of cold weapons, the command role of Daxu is irreplaceable.
The Third Army Corps of the Northern Frontier Front was a pure cavalry corps, although there were also a lot of infantry because of the heavy grain and grass escorted. However, the main battle was still completed by cavalry, so when the Sixth Army of the Yue clan decided to launch an offensive at the time of unitary, it hid Daxu on the right flank of the cavalry array. It was not raised until the offensive began. Command the whole army to advance.
The sudden inrush of Shen Yun's Han army was obviously unexpected by the commander of the Yue Clan, and their decisive charge surprised the commander of the Sixth Legion of the Yue Clan, Srivesson!
Yes, the commander of the Sixth Legion of the Moon Clan is called Srivenson, a typical Westerner name. And he is in fact a Westerner as well. Srivenson, a rising aristocrat in the Gallic province of the Roman Empire. Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-four years old and is employed by the Titans of the Asian Province. Huuske. Governor Mano came to the Yueshi to guide the "rebellion" of the Yueshi people. The plan of action for the encirclement of the Third Army and the unitary attack was the work of Srivinson.
This Srivenson family is a new aristocrat who started by business, and has a great demand for business interests. This is also the reason why he wants to help Mano set off a storm in Dahan. Srivenson attended a military academy in Rome for a few years, but instead of continuing to serve as a soldier after graduation, he chose to travel in business. This is not unrelated to the cultivation of his family and his personal character. In his opinion, the Han Empire dominated the East for thousands of years and monopolized almost all the most profitable goods in the world, which was simply an unforgivable sin for Western merchants. As for war, the conceited Srivinson thinks that the battlefield is just another mode of business – an idea that echoes that of the modern Western business tycoons – and that war is nothing more than that of the calculations of gains and losses.
At least in the previous calculations, Srivenson accurately grasped the initiative in the war. Whether it was a sneak attack in the early morning or a unitary attack, he grasped the core initiative of this "commercial operation" with human life as the capital. The Han army on the opposite side seems to be very strong, but it is still pressed and beaten by him, a general who is a merchant, and Srivenson is very proud of this!
But this pride was smashed at the moment when the two hundred Han troops suddenly rushed straight towards him!
"These Han soldiers are all crazy, what are they going to do?" When Srivenson looked in horror at the reverse charge, and sliced through the Yueshi cavalry in front of him like a blade cutting butter, and rushed towards him with great vigour, Srivenson was already so frightened that he couldn't sit still on his horse, and shouted vigorously: "Stop them, stop these madmen!" Hurry up, get on! ”
Shen Yun had the idea of a final battle the moment he decided to go straight to Da Xu, he had to cut into the array of the Yue Clan's cavalry with the sharpest posture, and then rush up as fast as he could, cutting down Da Xu! For this reason, he asked Zhao Xin and Fang Cheng to act as sharp edges side by side with him, and rushed forward in a state of death!
Before the battle, the planning was very complicated and chaotic, but when it came to the actual battle, everything was so simple again: crossbows, bows and arrows, and finally riding knives, standing up for arrows, charging low, and slashing at the speed of horses to kill any enemy who dared to stand in your way - it was that simple!
At the moment of initial contact with the Yue's cavalry, Shen Yun thought that he was going to die, countless arrows fell on his body like raindrops, most of them were blocked by the cavalry armor on his body, but there were still many arrows shooting into his body from a tricky angle, Shen Yun only felt a sharp pain in his waist, abdomen and arms, but he gritted his teeth and let himself ignore these.
He continued to breathe heavily, lowered his body, and placed the round shield under the neck of the beast. Stop the deadly rain of arrows for it, and you can't care about other places. At the same time, he wielded the riding knife in his right hand, constantly pulling out the knife flower, and no matter what reaction the opponent had, the riding knife was instantly swung out and slashed at any visible part...... In fact, Shen Yun couldn't observe the position of his chopping and whether it was right, he only knew that he had to knock down all the enemies in front of him...... At this moment, Shen Yun suddenly understood why many cavalrymen liked to use heavy weapons such as maces, because in the melee. It is true that the damage effect of riding knives is not as effective as that of clubs.
The screams were endless, and the angry blood was like water on the sprinkler head, spilling out endlessly, both human and horse blood. The wounded horses were even more furious. Rampage, several horses even crashed into Shen Yun. But after a few growls and kicks from the Beast. These frightened horses all began to rush in other directions - Shen Yun finally understood why it was called the Rui Beast, in the herd, it was always the well-deserved king!
"Ahh Shen Yun swept a cavalryman off his horse with a blunt riding knife, but was hit in the back by a riding knife sticking out from the side, although the riding armor blocked and did not hurt the muscles, but the huge force still made Shen Yun feel that his eyes were dark. It's like dying.
"Shen Yuanrang, right flash!" A burst of shouts reached Shen Yun's ears. It's Zhao Xin!
Shen Yun didn't even think about it, instinctively leaned to the right, and a spear with countless blood and flesh sticking to it poked out from under his right arm. Pierced straight into the neck of the Yue Clan's cavalry who had just slashed Shen Yun. "Poof" hot blood spurted out of the opponent's throat, Shen Yun was spraying straight at his head, the other party's eyes widened in disbelief, the hand holding the knife was released, and he wanted to cover the bleeding throat, but Zhao Xin suddenly exerted his strength and pulled out the tip of the gun, and the other party suddenly shook and rolled off the horse......
"Shen Yuanrang, Da Xuan is a hundred steps ahead, kill!" The spear in Zhao Xin's hand shouted loudly.
Shen Yun's originally fainting feeling was sprayed by Fang Cai's hot blood, and he instantly came to his senses. Looking around, Zhao Xin on the right side played to the extreme, a little cold came first, and then the gun came out like a dragon, rushing left and right, there was no enemy under the gun, and it was unstoppable. However, the variety of weapons and arrows from all directions made him look like a bloody man and an arrow target. But even so, the war horse under his crotch still did not lose its speed, and still rushed to the front line! On the left side, Fang Cheng fell into a bitter battle, the riding knife in his hand had long been abolished, he kept drawing arrows with a riding bow in his hand, and the horse stock and the back of his body had taken an unknown number of hits, and the riding armor was deeply dented in several places! The only fortunate thing is that the war horse under his crotch has not lost its speed, and is still crashing through all obstacles and moving forward desperately!
As for behind him, Shen Yun didn't dare to look back. This is a decisive impact, the three of them are sharp forwards, fighting so hard, it stands to reason that there should be support behind the left and right, but now apart from the three of them, Shen Yun can't feel the existence of other robes at all...... Are they all dead? Just the three of us?
An inexplicable grief and indignation filled Shen Yun's chest, "Ah!! Shen Yun looked up to the sky and roared, he threw away the riding knife that had been curled, picked up the round shield as a weapon, and desperately smashed the knife and axe stabbed by the enemy in front of him, and then clamped his legs hard, and the spur pierced deeply into the body of the Rui Beast, the Rui Beast was in pain, the person stood up, hissed loudly, and the sturdy hind legs suddenly exerted force, and actually broke away from Zhao Xin and Fang Cheng in an instant, and rushed forward fifty steps away!
Shen Yun's eyes widened angrily, and he raised the four-stone power bow that was covered with blood and meat scraps, which looked a little slippery and difficult to hold, and pulled it full, "whoosh", like a meteor, and an arrow as fast as lightning shot towards the big pole with Shen Yun's anger at the moment!
Something shocking happened, the flagpole that was as thick as an adult's arm, and needed to be supported by three people, was actually broken! The clattering sound of wood cracking seems to be able to penetrate the entire battlefield!
Da Xuan slowly fell, and the surrounding Yueshi cavalry inhaled at the same time, and a sound like a whale swallowing spread throughout the battlefield, and in the next second, the screams were also like a tsunami tide, sweeping across the contact surface within a radius of ten miles.
"Da Xuan is down!"
"Legion Commander!"
"Defeated?"
……
All kinds of voices filled the middle of the battlefield, and all kinds of thoughts echoed in the hearts of the soldiers who couldn't see Daxu.
"Damn it, withdraw! Evacuate! Srivenson suddenly let out a hysterical scream, and then no longer did anything else, pulled the horse's head and galloped the horse. All that filled Srivinson's mind now was Shen Yun's eyes full of anger. What filled his ears was Shen Yun's roar and the "click" sound when Da Xuan broke......
"They are madmen, utter madmen! Damn, it's good that the arrow didn't shoot me, it wasn't me! Srivenson clutched his helmet tightly, lowered his body and attached himself to his horse, clamping his horse's belly hard, but still the horse rushed away from his own array and ran backwards without his life.
"Run!" The Yue's cavalry in the rear was stunned for a moment, and then quickly followed the footsteps of their own commander. The entire Yue Clan's right flank retreated on almost all fronts, leaving only a few dozen horsemen standing alone in the mountain of flesh and blood!
Is this a win?
Shen Yun looked at the fleeing Yue Clan cavalry and looked around in disbelief. The cavalrymen of the Yue Clan, who were still bravely shooting arrows, stabbing and slashing at them, were all galloping away like lost dogs at this moment.
Is this a defeat like a mountain?
For the first time, Shen Yun really felt the horror of the chain reaction of the cold weapon battlefield, none of the Yue clan people who had fled in defeat dared to stop at all, even if the Han soldiers who were still standing now were exhausted and had no strength to fight again, they did not stop and release an arrow and cut down the idea of a knife......
Looking at the others who were also confused, Shen Yun smiled instead. Zhao Xin is alive, and Fang Cheng is also alive. Pang Tong, who had been holding the military flag high and was now panting like a dead dog, followed Zhang Mo's side, and the two of them didn't even have horses, just standing on the ground, holding the military flag with both hands, with a confused look of incredulity. Zhong Lisi was riding a horse, and a dozen cavalrymen were surrounding the banner, surrounded by dozens or hundreds of enemy corpses and mourning horses that had lost their owners......
The sunset is about to set, and the orange sunset is sprinkled here, reflecting the dragon flag full of war!
Including Shen Yun, the first battalion of the first song of the special compilation department of this battle killed 180 people, and 45 survived, of which 45 were seriously injured and none of them were slightly injured!
It can be said that after this battle, they can be regarded as truly graduated!
But the battle is not over.
The right flank of the Yue's cavalry formation was defeated, but its front army and left flank were actually already in the woods ahead, encountering the second town of the front division of the Third Army, and when Shen Yun was charging into battle, a big battle broke out there. And the battle situation is not inferior to here, and even surpasses. Shen Yun shot an arrow to break the enemy's army and forced back the Yue's right flank army. And in the woods, a group of Yue's cavalry also rushed into the Han army array, and also shot the town commander of the second town of the former division of the Third Army on the spot! The town marshal died in battle, and the second town suddenly collapsed!
At the same time that the right wing of the Yue clan was running backwards like a lost dog, the Han army also began to rout, and on the battlefield where tens of thousands of people were fighting, both armies were retreating! This kind of scene is unique!
What is the reason why the commander of a town was actually shot dead on the spot? It's very simple, Zhen Shuai Chong is too forward! Unlike the commander of the Yue clan, Sri Vinson, who hid behind the right flank and hid Daxu, the commander of the second town led his troops to rush up after the heavy cavalry broke through the enemy army in the middle, wanting to regain Chagan County in one fell swoop, but at this time he found that the Yue people had already spread out a dense line in front and were launching an attack. At this time, the town marshal immediately ordered the troops attacking on both flanks to withdraw to the town marshal's station, and he led the troops to meet the cavalry that had already attacked the Yue clan...... In terms of courage, Srivenson could not catch up with the commander of the second town of the Han army in a thousand miles. But the results of the debate ...... Srivenson is at least alive, and the Yue's cavalry only collapsed and did not hurt their bones, but the Han army can't even hold this small hill.
In this battle, the Yue's cavalry broke through the defense line of the second town of the front division of the third army of the Han army, and approached the big tent of the third army legion! (To be continued......)
