As the saying goes, 'those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes', and when you are barefoot, you are fearless, and when you have shoes, you are afraid of losing them and returning to the time when you were barefoot. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hao Ren became more and more cautious in fighting, because he couldn't afford to lose, and his success or failure no longer determined his life and death, but about the large land, people, and cities of the Qingfeng army. There is only this army in the north, and once defeated, the land north of the river will not be able to hold.
Today, Hao Ren sent Geng Zaicheng to lead the army of Badulu into an ambush, and Badulu was not fooled, Hao Ren was at a loss for this cautious and powerful opponent, he studied the map in the middle of the night, and just fell asleep, he heard a noise outside the military tent.
Yu Tonghe, who was in charge of the sentry, wanted to report the military situation, and Chen Da and Fei Champion were not allowed to see him on the grounds that the lord had just slept, and Hao Ren just didn't sleep, so he called Yu Tonghe in and learned the news of Liu Futong's breakthrough.
Didn't you tell Liu Futong to let you keep it? I'm trying to save you on the periphery? ’
Hao Ren wanted Liu Futong to contain and lose Badulu, why did Liu Futong break through the siege, Hao Ren had no time to guess, he couldn't stand it because he took care of it, Hao Ren couldn't see death without help, Liu Futong was destroyed, and Badulu would definitely go south immediately and burn the war to the territory of the Qingfeng army, which would not be of any benefit to the Qingfeng army.
"Order, the three armies assemble and march overnight!" Hao Ren gave the order without hesitation!
At dawn, Hao Ren was deployed with his troops and horses, and thousands of cavalry forwards were personally commanded and rushed to the periphery outside Yingzhou City!
Hao Ren was stationed on the slope of Ma Mountain, the war drums in front were filled, and the sound of fighting shouted by the two sides shook the sky, Hao Ren held a monocular, surrounded by a group of guards, and observed the battlefield outside Yingzhou City.
The bonfire lit on the battlefield has not been completely extinguished, wisps of green smoke have risen from the faint sky, from the city gate to the front of the battle line, the black pressure is full of corpses, Liu Futong oversaw the army fighting to the death, has broken through the enemy's two blockades, advanced the battle line to the third ravine, the main battlefield of the two sides around the three ditches.
The battlefield is extremely tragic, the three ravines besieging the city have been filled in two by the corpses of the Red Turban Army, and the remaining ditch, Liu Futong is in command of the Red Turban Army, rushing forward one after another, and visually, within half an hour, the corpse can fill half of the ravine.
Liu Futong's army was full of tenacity in battle, and in the face of such serious casualties, it was hard to fight to the death, but the hungry soldiers fought in the middle of the night, and it was obvious that they had reached the end of their crossbows, and even if they filled this ravine, they could not break through the enemy's encirclement.
Outside the trench of the third layer, Badulu was densely surrounded by the army, blocking the road of the Yingzhou Red Turban Army.
The first layer of infantry at the front, in close contact with Liu Futong's army, blocked the Red Turban Army from crossing the trench; The second layer of archers, supporting the infantry in front, indiscriminately shot feathered arrows at the Red Turban Army; Thirdly, the dense infantry surrounded the human wall, waiting to take over the battle; Fourth, there were several square military formations, waiting for the Yingzhou Red Turban Army to break through the trenches and chase back and forth.
I have to say that Liu Futong's will to fight is very tenacious, on the one hand, because of the tyranny of Meng Yuan, if he is defeated, he will be slaughtered, rather than starve to death or put down his sword and be slaughtered, it is better to fight to the death, and maybe he can also get a chance of life!
What's more, these famous believers were washed by missionaries with ulterior motives such as Du Zundao with distorted teachings, what 'light will inevitably defeat darkness', 'King Ming was born as Han Lin'er', etc., the soldiers charged, and they were even more dead!
Hao Ren was watching and seeing, the two cavalry behind the enemy, the army formation changed, and they were killing their own army on the left and right!
Answer: Badulu had already fought with Liu Futong all night, and he had long expected that Hao Ren would send troops to rescue, so he had already reserved troops and horses, and the cavalry behind was specially reserved to deal with Hao Ren's soldiers and horses, and left ambush soldiers on the way, Hao Ren deliberately bypassed the main road to avoid the enemy's ambush.
"The generals obey orders!" Hao Ren snorted coldly, and the whole army was solemn: "Hu Dahai presses the left, Geng Zaicheng presses the right, block them!" ”
"No!" Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng two generals commanded, each of the headquarters of 2,000 cavalry, rolled up two lines of dust, rushed down from the hillside, after a round of crossbow arrows, two teams of cavalry and the enemy cavalry took over, for a time, the sound of killing shook the sky, people neighed on their horses!
On the left side, Hu Dahai opened the mountain with an axe, slashing and chopping, like a tiger going down the mountain, swinging an axe and sweeping a piece!
On the right side, Geng Zai became a mountain opening knife, slashing and killing, like a dragon coming out, cutting it with one knife and knocking down a piece.
Under the leadership of the two generals, the two cavalry were extremely brave, and before the cavalry that rushed up was encircled, they resisted the cavalry on the left and right, and a gap of dozens of meters wide flowed out in the middle!
"Yu Tonghe obeyed orders, interspersed through the gaps, did not entangle with the enemy, and went directly to meet Liu Futong!" Hao Ren ordered again!
Yu Tonghe received the order, with 2,000 cavalry, with crossbows in hand, rushed down the hillside, along the gap between the two armies, directly rushed to the enemy's infantry formation, and from time to time the crossbows wanted to shoot flat on the left and right sides, and shot the enemy soldiers who were ready to encircle to ensure the smooth flow of the road ahead.
Yu Tonghe's equestrianism, in the Qingfeng army, is one of the best hands, he led the most elite cavalry in the Qingfeng army, is the cavalry from Chang Yuchun, among which there are a hundred Chang Yuchun's apprentices, righteous sons, known as Xiao Chang Yuchun, Yu Tonghe takes the lead, enough to be three feet faster than the horses of the little Chang Yuchun behind him!
The enemy saw that the two cavalry did not block Hao Ren's army, and the third heavy infantry hurriedly turned back to resist, but was there still time?
Yu Tonghe's front hooves of a war horse were raised, and he instantly stepped into the enemy's infantry formation, a sabre, flying up and down, like chopping vegetables and melons, and the heads of the enemy soldiers killed were rolling.
Behind Yu Tonghe, a hundred small Chang Yuchun, a hundred long-handled assassination weapons, like a dragon out of the sea, stabbed out of the spear flowers, like a starry spot, one shot at a time, and there were 1,800 cavalry behind to kill, instantly tearing apart the enemy's infantry formation.
These two thousand cavalry are the elite of the elite in Hao Ren's hands at present, the trump card of the trump cards.
The infantry was killed and scattered, Yu Tonghe did not pursue, let them scatter and flee, the cavalry of the commander's department, along the straight line, directly rushed forward, more than 100 steps away, and arrived in front of the enemy's archers.
The archers who were busy shooting the infantry in front of them hurriedly turned around and shot arrows, but there was still time there? The cavalry had already rushed closer, and the archers had no weapons but bows, and they had no ability to resist if they wanted to!
Yu Tonghe only cut down two helpless archers, and the archers were already running in all directions, and the heavy infantry at the front did not expect the cavalry of the Qingfeng army to be so fast, and they had to turn over and take over the battle, running directly along both sides of the trench.
Yu Tonghe rushed to the front of the ditch, waited for the war horse, the war horse roared, the front hooves were in the air, he waved the saber left and right at this moment, and gave orders to his subordinates, the cavalry was divided into two ways, chasing and killing the infantry fleeing from Meng Yuan, and shouted to the Yingzhou army in the trench: "Brother of the Yingzhou army, my lord sent me to the rescue, let Prime Minister Liu quickly break through!" ”
But Meng Yuan's infantry was overwhelmed by two thousand cavalry, trampling on each other, and suffering countless casualties! The Mengyuan cavalry is not stupid, after a period of chaos, they found that the trench in front of them was a life-saving place, and they didn't care how deep the trench was.
Yes, the Yingzhou Red Turban Army suffered too many casualties, and they had already killed Red Eye, and when they got such an opportunity, they just wanted to kill happily! Now when I saw the reinforcements, it was like being beaten with chicken blood, and one after another, the Red Turban Army climbed up from the trenches, brandishing spears, catching a Mengyuan soldier, and not giving up without poking it into flesh.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Yu Tonghe's cavalry broke through the obstacles in front of the Yingzhou Red Turban Army and opened a gap for Liu Futong to break through, but he heard Hao Ren's horn of the Chinese army whimpering and gave the order to retreat!
Because there are two teams of enemy cavalry, attacking from the flank, they want to open the gap in Yutong and counterattack! A fierce battle in Yingzhou kicked off according to such a situation!
