Chapter 255: Huayin Road Dangerous Battle Powerful Enemy [5]
The busy and lively county town of Huayin, after a busy night, finally quieted down in the early morning of autumn and August 18. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Zhang Ji and the others in the west had already arranged for the soldiers to have breakfast early.
So in the bleak autumn wind, the rhythmic "dong dong" war drums slowly sounded, and the Xiliang troops slowly lined up under the orders of the leading lieutenants in this exciting and inspiring war drum.
Xu Shu, the commander-in-chief of the Huayin battlefield of the Huafei Army, looked east in the car formation with his sword, but saw that under the bright red rising sun, nearly 100,000 Xiliang troops had already divided their troops.
In front, the white wave generals led their subordinates, holding a wooden shield wrapped in cowhide in their right hands; The left hand is clinging to a blazing torch; But he still had some tattered blades on his waist and on his back.
Zhang Ji in the rear was leading a group of cavalrymen, lining up the formation as much as possible, holding strong bows and crossbows in his hands, and slowly pressing towards his own car formation with the rhythm of the infantry stepping on the war drums.
The slow movement of the 100,000-strong army was like a moment of silence before the storm, which made the soldiers on the entire battlefield look extremely nervous. But the soldiers on both sides also knew that they had no way out.
The troops of Xiliang are because they have a large number of well-equipped warlords behind them; However, the soldiers of Hua Feijun knew that behind them were countless fathers and villagers in that pass, and they would be the ones who would suffer if they retreated.
Xu Shu calmly pressed his sword and looked at the enemy soldiers who were pressed by the black pressure, until the enemy was close to two hundred and fifty steps, he suddenly "Zheng!" He drew out the sword given by Hua Fei himself.
The sword pointed in front of him and shouted: "Milky white front finger, emerald green entourage, azure blue, black two flags - ready!" ”
With his order, all the guards behind him responded in unison, and for a while, the four-color flag of the Chinese army of the Huafei Army moved, and all the leading lieutenants followed the order.
In the voice of the armies, the front of the car formation was sharply erected, the spears were pointed obliquely, and there were countless arrows in the car formation, and the sharp arrows that flashed and killed the cold light were then put on the arrow strings.
"Ready!" Hu Cai, who was in the first team at the same time, waved his knife and shouted loudly. Suddenly, the Bai Bo army suddenly stopped moving forward, but everyone squatted slightly on their knees, and in an instant, the entire shield array appeared more tight.
At this moment, Zhang Ji, who was in the rear army, also glared violently, opened his mouth and roared wildly: "Don't leave any of the enemy behind, launch a general attack on Lao Tzu, kill!" In an instant, the drums of war in the Xiliang army were beating like raindrops.
Hearing this, Hu Cai waved his knife and ordered: "Kill!" At that time, all the troops under his command shouted in unison, raised their shields, and rushed to the ground in the earth-shattering shout.
I want to make a handover with the soldiers of the Hua Fei Army as quickly as possible to avoid the attack of the dense rain of arrows. And Xu Shu, who was standing in the middle of the car formation, was a cold bystander.
It wasn't until the first column of Bai Bo soldiers, under the leadership of Hu Cai, had rushed closer to their own army for more than 100 steps and was about to raise their hands and throw torches, that they shouted in front of the sword: "Xuanhei Flag - Shake!" The black flag behind him waved sharply.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiu had been paying attention to the day before yesterday on the small mountain bag, and suddenly shouted to kill, in the earth-shattering shouting and killing, countless young people in the pass carried stones and sundries, etc., and slammed down hard.
At this time, the Baibo army that was advancing in a dense formation had already crossed the mountain, and the Xiliang iron cavalry, who were only leading their bows and arrows, happened to pass under this mountain.
So under the attack of the dense high-altitude falling objects on the hill, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who were suddenly attacked, were smashed to the head and screamed in a bloody voice, which caused all the troops in front and behind to panic.
"Azure Banner - Move! The shield pushed forward, and the spears followed. ”
Xu Shu took the opportunity to order, the moment to order the flag to the wind to show the three armies of the Huafei Army, the south of Weishui, the north of the Qinling Mountains on the battlefield, the "Bangbang" string exploded, and the "Xiuxiu" arrow flew rapidly; Swords and shields rampage, spears piercing like snakes.
Xu Chu, He Man, and Yang Ren were the three generals, and they took the lead in waving their blades and rushed straight into the chaotic enemy formation, and they killed the Baibo army when they landed.
At this moment, Xu Shu, who knew that his army was insufficient, waved his sword and ordered, the black flag behind him was quickly closed, and many young men on the mountain bag quickly ran down the mountain bag and disappeared into the car formation.
On the other side, Zhang Ji has been in battle for a long time, but he is also anti-emergency. As soon as he saw the chaos of his army, he hurriedly swung his knife and roared: "Shoot Lao Tzu with arrows and shoot these damned thieves!" ”
With this order, all the Xiliang iron horsemen roared loudly, and poured the sharp arrows in their hands forward, regardless of the enemy, and the arrows were like rain in the sky above the melee between the two armies.
Seeing this, the soldiers of both sides of the battle hurriedly held shields for protection, and hurriedly shook their spears and blades to parry in the dense sound of "clanging", and the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides was relieved immediately.
Xu Shu took the opportunity to wave his sword and shouted: "After the sword and shield are broken, the archers will cover, and the army will return to the battle." The guards behind him shouted in unison.
So the armies moved according to the order, and the shields on their faces resisted the rear army, and the spearmen turned over and returned, and the enemy army was reluctant to chase after them, and they were waiting for them with arrows.
Zhang Ji saw that the enemy and our army were divided into two parts, so he hurriedly waved his knife and roared: "Stop releasing arrows!" ”
"Stop releasing arrows, stop releasing ......" The guards beside him heard the voice, and roared in unison to give orders, and immediately stopped the sharp arrow attacks of his subordinates.
Zhang Ji sent an order to the front army in a hurry, ordering Han Xian and others to take advantage of the enemy's ambush that had retreated, and quickly reorganize the army to continue to attack the enemy's chariot formation under the cover of the cavalry's arrow rain.
In fact, without his orders, Han Xian and the others had already reorganized the army. After hearing Zhang Ji's order, Han Xian and others ordered the troops under their command to relight their torches and prepare to continue to attack the enemy.
Xu Shu's side saw the fierce arrow posture of the other party, and knew that this time he must not let the young people come forward to put out the fire, otherwise the young people in Guanzhong will die under the enemy's arrow rain.
However, he also knew that if he didn't let the young men help put out the fire, once the enemy army rushed into battle, it would be difficult to deploy manpower to extinguish the fire when he was short of troops.
Then this chariot formation will also be burned by the fire, and if a large number of enemy cavalry charge again, I am afraid that I and the army will die without a place to bury.
Thinking of this, he knew that the position was undefendable, so he immediately ordered the 10,000-strong army to be divided into two, and urgently asked people to go to the front of the army to teach Xu Chu and Yang Ren the secret plan.
Then he ordered Xu Chu and Yang Ren to lead 5,000 mixed soldiers to take charge of the break, but he led the other 5,000 troops to urgently cover the young men in Guanzhong who came to help, and retreated sharply in the direction of Huayin County, which was more than 50 miles away from here.
After Xu Chu and Yang Ren got Xu Shu's orders, they only commanded the army to release a rain of arrows to stop the enemy when the enemy attacked the front of the formation, but after countless bright red torches came into the air, they quickly led the 5,000 elite soldiers to retreat.
At this time, the fire burned all the woods, and the black smoke came out. Xu Chu and the others happened to ride the sassy northwest wind to the southeast, blowing the black smoke and leaving quickly and safely.
When the Bai Bo army shouted and slaughtered into the car formation, they saw that the formation was already empty, only the thousands of flames were burning fiercely.
So Han Xian and others hurriedly ordered the army to extinguish the fire, and Zhang Ji led the cavalry to arrive after learning of the situation, knowing that the enemy army must not dare to retreat because they saw their own strength.
Nai hurriedly ordered the Bai Bo army to quickly clear a passage, but he and Qubei led a large number of extremely fast cavalry, whistling and dust, and rushed in the direction where Xu Shu and the young men left. (To be continued.) )
