Chapter 57: Fraud

Taking advantage of the hot fighting in front, the auxiliary soldiers and the more than 1,000 surviving sword and axe men who rushed forward behind the phalanx of Chen's commanders pulled the big carts blocked in front desperately backwards, and these hundreds of cars were too obstructive to put them on the battlefield, directly blocking the route of the charge, and this time finally let Chen Jun find an opportunity to pull these big carts away.

After half an hour, it was still the Sui army's foot lance men who had the upper hand, and although more than three hundred people fell, seven or eight hundred people stabbed the other side. Sergeant Chen was a defeated soldier, and he had been fighting with a breath of air just now, but after the fight at this moment, the casualties in the front row continued to increase, and he was forced to retreat constantly, retreating to the vicinity of the original cart, and the entire front was on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, from the rear of Chen Jun, the sound of war drums that resounded in the sky just now suddenly turned into an unfamiliar gong sound, and Lu Guangda was singing!

Wang Huaqiang's face changed, he restrained the steps that were about to walk down the mountain, and looked at the battlefield again, only to see that Lu Guangda's handsome flag had moved to a distance of about 300 steps from the place of battle and stopped.

In the military formation behind him, hundreds of big drums were beaten and resounded sky-high, and the soldiers of the Chen army in front were also inspired by the sound of war drums and the slashing general Liwei of Lu Guangda in front of them, so they gritted their teeth and worked hard until now, but their combat skills and morale were still slightly inferior to the elite of the Sui army opposite, and it was already difficult to continue to fight at this time.

It wasn't until these Chen troops retreated to the vicinity of the original carts that Lu Guangda suddenly raised his broadsword, and the sound of hundreds of war drums stopped suddenly, followed by a noisy and loud gong sound, Mingjin, this is a signal to retreat!

The spearmen of the Chen army in front of them were like amnesty, and the soldiers in the last few rows turned around and ran, but this time they didn't dare to throw down their weapons and armor again, and the soldiers in the front row didn't have such good luck, so they could only grit their teeth and fight with the enemy in front of them for a few more rounds, and when they found a vacancy, they threw down their spears and fled backwards.

Soon, the spearmen of the Chen army retreated again, and turned into a flight, no cover, no counterattack, only a tidal wave of soldiers rushing backwards, and Liu Xiuzhi's general flag was also rolled up early by the flag guards around him, and dozens of Chinese cavalry once again fled back with the tide-like rout.

Yuan Ming finally couldn't help it this time, he raised his sword high, and shouted: "Order, beat the drum to march, and chase and kill the enemy!"

Wang Rengong, the deputy general next to Yuan Ming, is a man in his early thirties, with a big beard, but there is a calm and calm under the rugged appearance. ”

Yuan Ming broke free of Wang Rengong's hand, pointed to the enemy army in front of him, and said loudly: "The enemy army is defeated, not defeated, General Wang, you have also read a lot of military books, will the defeated enemy army not even need a flag weapon in order to escape for their lives like this?" ”

Wang Rengong frowned: "This enemy army is indeed defeated, but there are still many follow-up troops of them, if we pursue now, they will leave the favorable terrain we defend, in case of an ambush or counterattack by the enemy, we may lose." ”

Yuan Ming said sharply: "As long as we work harder, chasing the ass of this rout, they will only disrupt the formation of the enemy army behind, there is a flat ground here, where is the counter-impact, General Wang, if you are afraid, lead a thousand people to defend here, and the others will all rush with me!"

After Yuan Ming finished speaking, he didn't wait for Wang Rengong to speak again, and as soon as he clamped the war horse between his legs, he rushed out directly, and the personal guards around him also swarmed up, and the general flag with the word "member" began to move forward rapidly.

Wang Rengong was so anxious that he shouted behind him: "General Yuan, General Yuan!" But to no avail.

The spearmen of the front army raised their spears with one hand, scattered their formations, and rushed towards the fleeing enemy troops in front of them, while the axemen behind them also went into battle lightly, passing the heavily clad lancers and rushing forward to kill.

Behind the Sui army's formation, the two thousand light cavalry that were originally arranged in the rear army as a charge formation also fought out from both wings this time, bypassing the infantry who were desperately pursuing forward, brandishing sabers, rolling up smoke and dust in the sky, and chasing and killing the enemy's rout.

Lu Guangda saw the situation of the Sui army attacking on all fronts, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned his head to the herald and said: "Quick, give the order to the whole army, the axe hand is in front, the infantry army gives way to the passage and let the deserters of the front army enter, the long lance hand is arrayed, and the cavalry on both wings is dispatched to meet the enemy cavalry!"

Lu Guangda turned his head and shouted with all the strength of his body: "Zhong Erlang, killing the enemy and serving the country is today, behead one, reward 100 coins, behead one of the enemy's governors, and promote the governor!" Chen Jun is mighty! Mighty! Mighty!"

All of Lu Guangda's subordinates roared like a tsunami: "Mighty, mighty, mighty!" The momentum was like a rainbow, and the noise shook the sky, and even the earth trembled slightly.

At the same time, Lu Guangda's infantry phalanx quickly let go of four or five gaps two or three zhang wide, a group of strong men with sharp axes rushed to the front of the whole army, the entire infantry phalanx began to march forward in great strides, and the five thousand cavalry on both sides began to move diagonally forward, and the Sui cavalry with smoke and dust met it.

Yuan Ming brandished a big knife, rushed to the front of the whole army, slashed down, and split a Chen army commander who fell behind from his shoulder to his right waist, directly split it in half, and the lower body of the corpse was still running forward, running two or three steps before landing on the ground.

Yuan Ming laughed, today is the coolest battle he has fought since crossing the river, and now this rhythm of chasing and killing the fleeing enemy is the coolest time in his battle, running all the way, he has already hacked six deserters to death, and none of these frightened Chen Jun dared to look back at him.

Yuan Ming yelled at the out-of-breath infantrymen who were running behind him: "Come on, you don't want to make meritorious contributions, do you?" ”

At this moment, Yuan Ming suddenly felt that the earth was shaking slightly, and the sound of tens of thousands of people roaring at the same time suddenly came into his ears, shaking his chest with a burst of qi and blood, this time he heard it clearly, it was the battle cry of Chen Jun on the opposite side before charging!

The weak retreat gong suddenly turned into an earth-shaking war drum, and hundreds of war drums were beaten with the greatest strength at the same time, moving forward quickly, and Yuan Ming's face immediately changed, this is the signal of the enemy's general attack!

Yuan Ming could no longer care about chasing and killing the fleeing enemy in front of him, these people ran all over the sky, so that he couldn't see what was happening behind clearly, and when the enemy army began to attack, he heard the sound was already within two hundred paces, he turned back to the herald who followed him and shouted: "Blow the trumpet, hurry up and line up, the long lance hand is in front, quickly!"

The herald quickly blew his drum horn, but in the earth-shattering drum, it was like a small drop of water into the ocean, and it was so obliterated that even the members could not hear it.

Yuan Ming reined in his horse and ran back, waving his hand at the infantry behind him as he ran, shouting: "Array, array!"

The fighting spirit of the Sui army is still very high, after all, it is an elite soldier trained by He Ruobi for many years, although he can't hear the sound of drums and trumpets, but as soon as he sees Yuan Ming going and returning, the enemy army instantly makes a loud drum and trumpet, and he knows what happened.

The axemen who rushed to the front quickly stopped and formed a straggler, while the lancers behind lined up in a dense array of guns.

Under the leadership of Liu Xiuzhi, the rout of the Chen army quickly passed through the gaps left by the rear support of the own side that was striding forward, while Lu Guangda followed behind the first group of 5,000 foot soldiers unhurriedly, carrying war drums on the chariots and beating as they went, controlling the speed of the march of the own front.

Yuan Ming finally lined up the phalanx of the infantry, stood behind the long-lance men at the front, swept the cavalry on both wings with his eyes, but found that the opponent's cavalry was black and oppressive, and it was already with his own cavalry like a tide, and it was impossible to withdraw at this time, he finally understood that he had fallen into the other party's plan to lure the enemy deeper, thinking of He Ruobi's order to stick to the war, even his intestines were repentant.
