"The last general!"

"I'll give you a thousand cavalry, and you go and attack the flank of the Western Infantry and flank the enemy with Azig!"

"Yes, Great Khan!" He had been watching the battle between his left wing and Liu Chengjun's right wing for a long time, and he was already impatient, so he hurriedly beat his horse and went to the side of the cavalry. www.biquge.info At that time, the Jurchens liked to listen to the commentary "Three Kingdoms", and the guards were compared to "Guan and Zhang", and he led the troops out of battle, but he himself stood beside Huang Taiji, and couldn't help but be a little anxious. At this time, he suddenly heard Huang Taiji calling his name, and hurriedly responded: "The last general!" ”

"You go to the pontoon bridge immediately, urge all the troops not to cross the river in a hurry, let the artillery team cross first, and if anyone does not obey the order, they will be killed!"

"Ahh Ao Bai was stunned, he thought that Huang Taiji was letting himself go into battle to fight, but when he heard this task, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, Huang Taiji saw his thoughts: "Liu Cheng's army is very strong, and you have also seen the shelling of Fang Cai, only my Dajin's artillery team can compete with it." ”

Hearing Huang Taiji say this, Ao Bai was in good spirits, hurriedly answered, jumped on his war horse and went to the river.

After distributing his subordinates, Huang Taiji looked at Liu Cheng's army formation opposite, only to see his stagecoach back and forth, obviously the enemy general is transferring troops, if this battle is compared to a chess game, Liu Cheng has already seized the lead, but I don't know why he only attacked my left wing, the center and the left wing did not move, so wouldn't it be for me to send troops to flank his infantry phalanx? Thinking of this, Huang Taiji summoned his generals and ordered: "If Curb Bilong can enter the battle, then send a large army to follow, otherwise he will hold on and wait for the artillery team to cross the river before discussing!" ”

After the artillery bombardment, the left flank of Liu Chengjun, under the command of Gesang, began to advance and attack, and since the Chinese army did not follow forward, the right flank of these infantry was exposed, and the 1,000 cavalry led by Kupilon made a detour to this side, trying to break these infantry phalanxes from the flank. There were fourteen small phalanxes of these infantry, ten of which were lined up in a horizontal line to fight the Houjin army on the opposite side, while the remaining four, mainly made up of veterans, were located behind the left and right ends, which served as a reserve and prevented the enemy's cavalry from flanking in a roundabout way. The garrison commanding the infantry at the left end was a veteran, and when he saw Houjin's cavalry making a roundabout, he immediately ordered the two small phalanxes at the left end to turn around immediately, and the soldiers lined up side by side, the soldiers in the front two rows crouched down, put the ends of their spears against the ground, and pointed the tips of their spears diagonally upwards, while the back rows held their spears flat, and the arquebusiers crouched at the rear. Suddenly, an iron thorn suddenly grew in the ground, and the tip of the spear emitted a cold glow in the sunlight, which made people shudder. The first few rows of the rear golden cavalry thought that the infantry on the opposite side did not have the cover of the archers, so they reined in their horses and opened their bows to shoot, but the cavalry behind kept coming, they could not see the situation in front, and kept moving forward, and the horses were connected head to tail, pushing the cavalry in front forward, and soon arrived in front of the infantry formation.

Then the garrison gave the order, and the arquebusier, crouched on the ground, rose to his feet and fired a volley at the enemy cavalry that was close at hand, and then the infantry in the front row rushed forward and stabbed the Houjin cavalry with their spears, which were in a mass of confusion and almost forbidden. Although the cavalry of the Houjin also fought back desperately, after all, the space occupied by one cavalry was far greater than that of the infantry, so each Houjin cavalry had to deal with at least five or six spears. For a moment, the spears and sabers of both sides slammed into each other, crackling and crackling, and lead bullets and arrows shot at each other between the spears, taking away one life after another. The formation of the two sides was so dense that dodging was completely impossible, and only the bravest dared to wield their weapons against the spears stabbed in the face. Soon, the rear gold cavalry in the first few rows were killed and wounded, and the corpses of the centaurs fell to the ground, forming a low wall. However, the infantry did not dare to cross this low wall to pursue, after all, they had no cavalry, and once the formation was scattered during the pursuit, they had to let the opponent cut and kill.

He hurriedly ordered his subordinates to use the banner to order the whole army to retreat temporarily, to the rear of the enemy, and wanted to attack from behind, but the infantry commander of Liu Chengjun was very sophisticated, he just ordered his infantry to follow the enemy's roundabout, always aim the tip of the spear at the enemy, and at the same time let the arquebusiers shoot at these enemy cavalry, although the distance was a little far, but at least force the enemy to approach.

Liu Chengjun was behind the right flank.

After Hazar led the armored cavalry back to the battle, some of the servants of the army had already stepped forward to lead the horses. He had an arrow wound in his leg, and he bled a lot, and he fought on horseback for a long time, and he was already hungry and thirsty, and on his horse he neighed and cried, "Kill with thirst, get water!" ”

The servants hurriedly helped him off his horse, brought him buttermilk, and a doctor came forward to remove the arrows for him, and scrubbed the wound with strong wine, and applied ointment to bandage it. Hazar put half a bag of buttermilk in her stomach, rested for a while, and regained her spirits. At this time, a military official arrived quickly and said in a loud voice: "Gesang Nayan has an order, order you to lead the armor and cavalry to attack and cover the flank of the infantry team!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Hazar hurriedly got up, received the military order, and a servant had already sent the new horse, he limped to the horse, climbed on the war horse with some difficulty, held a bow in one hand, and held a spear in the other, and said to his soldiers: "The morale of the eastern captives has declined, and you will fight with my infantry army head-on, and you will be able to take the head of the enemy general and get rich!" ”

Everyone had already recovered a lot, and they responded in unison, they got on their new horses, carried spears and bows, and went out of the military formation, and then lined up in a sharp and arrow formation, and rushed towards the Houjin cavalry led by Kupilon. Seeing the enemy cavalry coming, he hurriedly ordered his own cavalry to turn around and meet the battle. On both sides were veterans of many battles, and instead of shouting for their courage like a new soldier, they clenched their weapons and saved their strength to prepare for the fight. For a while, only the sound of hooves was heard like thunder, and the armor soldiers struck each other, but the other sounds were gone.

When the two teams of cavalry came into contact, the initial line of contact remained level, which showed that neither the Suppilon side nor the Hazard side could tear through the ranks of the other side. The sound of swords clashing, spear shafts slapping, and flesh being chopped together was a mixture, and blood stained the armor and blades that were still good, staining everything a dark red rust color. Both the killer and the slain remained silent, spending every effort on the fight, only letting out a short scream before they died.

As the battle progressed, the battle line gradually became distorted, twisting at one moment, twisting back at one moment, breaking into several strange crowds at one time, but forming a new curve at one moment, which represented the death of dozens, if not hundreds, of people.

According to the habits of the Jurchen warriors at that time, he was dressed in two iron armors, holding two-handed long-handled broadswords, and broke into the enemy formation with more than ten Goshkha, relying on his own armor thickness, he did not pay attention to the swords and arrows on the left and right in addition to the spears stabbed in front of him, but only brandished the two-handed long-handled broadsword weighing thirty catties with both hands. In the blink of an eye, he broke into the enemy's formation, and his Goshha hurriedly followed, brandishing a knife and spear to slash and slash, and unexpectedly opened a gap in Liu Chengjun's formation. Seeing this, the armored cavalry on the opposite side was afraid that it would break through the formation, so they hurriedly besieged it from three sides, and for a while they slashed with swords and spears. Dressed in two layers of iron armor, he was not seriously injured despite several hits, and he was killed with a long-handled broadsword in both hands, cutting down several people in a row.

He hurriedly abandoned the big knife, stretched out his hand and pulled the man from the horse, pulled out the short knife at his waist and stabbed him in the face a few times, and the opposite man went limp. He killed the man, asked for weapons from Goshha behind him, and when he looked back, he found that seven or eight Goshkha who were following him had been besieged and hacked to death. Fearing that he would be besieged by the enemy, he hurriedly drew his sword from the waist of the man who had just been killed, and struck his horse and retreated to his own formation. Suppilon returned to his own phalanx, took his weapons, and led a dozen of his own soldiers into the enemy's ranks. The Mongols around him saw that he had been beaten so much, covered in blood, and they didn't know how many of them were enemies and how many were their own, and they couldn't help but be a little frightened, and they said: "This person must be blessed by the gods and Buddhas, otherwise he would have died a long time after so many blows, how could he still rush and kill so repeatedly?" ”

The cavalry of the two armies rushed to each other several times, and neither could break through the opponent's formation, and both manpower and horsepower were extremely consumed, and after several times, the intensity of the battle gradually decreased. The two armies are like two exhausted beasts, although neither is powerless to kill the opponent, but neither is willing to give up and entangled. At this moment, Liu Cheng's Chinese army heard the sound of a horn, and Ji Bilong subconsciously looked at the place where the sound came from, only to see that the Sulu ingot Daxu decorated with gold and white horsehair began to tilt forward, obviously, this is a signal that the enemy is going to attack.

Liu Chengzhongjun.

"Dongyu is really tough and durable!" Lu Boqi looked at the fierce battle between his left wing and the right wing of the Houjin, he was already dumbfounded, although Liu Cheng used the cooperation of various arms to seize the lead, but the right wing of the Houjin army not only blocked his own onslaught, but also sent cavalry to counterattack, trying to detour the flank of the left wing infantry, and was inseparable from the reinforced cavalry. After he partnered with Liu Cheng, he also came to the battlefield in person, but compared to the battle in front of him, the ones he experienced in the past were simply not worth mentioning.

"The elite accumulated over decades is naturally not simple!" Liu Cheng looked as usual, as a traverser, he may be the person in the world who has the highest evaluation of the enemy army in front of him, even higher than Huang Taiji himself. After all, Huang Taiji himself did not know that in the next hundred years, his descendants would not only conquer the Central Plains, but also expand the territory of the empire to the north to the Outer Khing'an Mountains, the Altai Mountains in the west, the Seven River Valleys, and even the roof of the world such as Tibet was also included in the territory. From the point of view of military technology, the current Eight Banners Army can only be said to be average, but its organization is tight, the military discipline is strict, and the speed of learning new technologies is very fast.

"What are you going to do?" Lu Boqi asked cautiously.

"I only attacked one way before, just to wait for it to be tired, and I have already ordered all the armies to take turns to eat, and now it should be about the same!" Liu Cheng looked back at Chesang on the side, and saw that the other party nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, beat the drum, order the armies to move forward, the cavalry team dismounts and leads the horses, and when the infantry team opens the gap, they will get on the horse and rush to kill!" After giving the order, Liu Cheng shouted to Hao Shaoqi on the side: "Shake the flag, you come over to put on armor for me, I was going to supervise the battle." ”

"Yes, sir!" Hao Shaoqi answered, and hurriedly took a new black iron armor from the side, which was the armor that Liu Cheng often wore when he went into battle. Liu Cheng raised his arm so that Hao Shaoqi could tighten his belt for him, and smiled at Lu Boqi: "Lord Lu, I went to supervise the battle in front of the battle, and I will bother you here!" ”

Lu Boqi was also infected by the atmosphere at this time, and bowed his hand and said: "General, go and kill the thief with confidence, I am waiting for good news here!" ”

"Good!" Liu Cheng was already wearing armor at this time, jumped on the war horse brought by the guards, and said loudly to the guards beside him: "Everyone, all the elites of the East Thieves are here, and they will be destroyed today, don't worry about your children and grandchildren!" "I said it again in Mongolian.

Those who stayed with Liu Cheng were either the elites selected from the northwest towns of Yansui, Ningxia, and Xuanda, or the pride of the sky selected from the north and south of the desert, although there were only more than a thousand horses, but they were all the choice of the moment, the heroes of ten thousand people, hearing Liu Cheng say this, they responded in unison: "I am willing to fight to the death for my lord!" ”

"Okay, today you will not live up to me Liu Cheng, and I will not live up to you tomorrow, if you get rich, you should share it with you! If you break this oath, you should be so arrowed! With that, Liu Cheng took out an arrow from the quiver and broke it in two pieces and threw it on the ground. Then he marched forward in battle, surrounded by the knights, and Hao Shaoqi followed closely behind with the Sulu ingot.

The offensive of Liu Chengjun's central front began with artillery bombardment, and this time it was 12 twelve-pounder guns that were fired, which was the largest caliber and longest-range of Liu Chengjun's field artillery. Limited to the technical conditions at that time, this kind of artillery could not be as flexible and mobile as the six-pounder and three-pounder guns of the cavalry battalion, so Liu Cheng arranged his position on the central front, although it could not strafe Houjin's position from the side, but it could maximize its fire range. The whistling lead bullets fell into the ranks of the Houjin army, splashing a cloud of blood, but these tough and strong soldiers remained unmoved, and the gaps that were opened were quickly filled by the personnel behind. After a few shellings, Liu Chengjun's infantry began to move forward slowly, protected by a small amount of cavalry on either side of the infantry team, while the right flank also began to advance, but it fell a little behind the Chinese army.
