Chapter 665: The Final Battle
Since the appearance of Hu Cai, the cavalry commanded by Yang Hu has not left behind and launched a fierce attack on the coalition infantry phalanx. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
For a time, the dangerous positions of the coalition infantry appeared frequently, and King Qiuzi was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat and kept roaring at his subordinates.
"Archer, shoot!" He waved the saber in his hand and shouted loudly as he pointed at the Yan Army's iron cavalry that was getting closer and closer.
Soon the archers, who had been ready to shoot for a long time, let go of their hands, and then a whoosh sounded, and wave after wave of arrows flew out and fell into the charging ranks of the Yan cavalry.
Countless arrows flew into the ranks of the Yan cavalry, blooming with gorgeous flowers of death, and one after another the Yan cavalry were shot off their horses.
Some were shot dead on the spot, while others fell to the ground with men and horses, and before they could stand up, they were drowned by rolling iron hooves.
The momentum of tens of thousands of war horses moving forward together was really terrifying, and seeing that such a dense rain of arrows could not stop the crazy Yan cavalry from charging, some of the allied archers slowly became agitated, and their hands began to tremble unconsciously.
"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”
Mountains of cheers burst out from the silence, and countless sabers were raised high in the sunlight, like waves rolling over the ground to herald the arrival of a storm that swept the heavens and the earth.
The sound of war drums that resounded through the heavens and the earth suddenly sounded, urging the Yan cavalry to attack more and more fiercely.
Countless Yan army riders rode war horses, held war swords, and chanted slogans to take the enemy on the opposite side.
"For the sake of King Yan, kill!" Yang Hu, Ran Zhan, Xun Guanniang, Yao Yisheng and other cavalry generals, each commanding the cavalry and the two sides of the cavalry fiercely plunged into the coalition formation.
In the long arrows flying all over the sky, the Yan Army's iron cavalry quickly approached the Western Regions Alliance Army like the wind, first countless swishing sounds broke through the air, and countless iron arrows shot out of the crossbow to cut through the sky, instantly drilling into the bodies of the coalition soldiers, splashing countless blood flowers. Suddenly, a unique fishy smell filled the air.
Suddenly attacked, the coalition army was in chaos, and the Yan army's iron cavalry took advantage of the situation to mix with the enemy, making the coalition archers who were originally the most threatening force useless.
"King Qiuzi, what should I do for the future?"
Faced with the precarious situation, the lords of the countries in the alliance could no longer maintain their composure, and they all ran to the alliance leader King Qiuzi to ask for advice.
It's just that at this time, King Qiuzi is also like ashes, where is there any countermeasure.
"The Yan army's iron cavalry can rely on the ability of riding and archery, and the arrows shot are raining down, and the middle ones are either dead or injured; Near, they can advance with sabers and crossbows, and they are unstoppable, and now they can't think of any other way to stop them except for being determined to fight to the death. ”
King Qiuzi's words made everyone murmur in their hearts, and even a few lords began to talk to each other.
King Qiuzi coldly glanced at the lords of the countries who were making small movements, and said viciously: "Now that it is a matter of life and death, if you are not willing to fight to the death, then wait to be destroyed by the Yan Kingdom." ”
The lords of the Western Regions nodded when they heard this, this truth was clear to everyone present, since there was no other way, then everyone had to fight. Anyway, it's a death left and right, it's better to fight, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.
"Kill!" Ran Zhan galloped over, and the sharp saber in his hand quickly slashed out left and right, leaving only a broken arm and stump, and the corpses of more than a dozen coalition soldiers who had been cut down fell softly, and the blood still steaming from the throat flowed out silently, and soon seeped into the sand of the oasis.
The well-trained cavalry of the Yan army formed one small phalanx after another, like a close-knit harvester, and the battle lines formed by dozens of positions one after another were like waves of the sea, surging towards the coalition forces endlessly.
Finally, in the face of Ran Zhan, Xun Guanniang and other Yan generals attacking like a storm, the Shule people in the coalition army couldn't withstand it at first.
Originally, the king of Shule was under the instigation of the former king of Cheshi, and he had the intention of surrendering to the Yan Kingdom, but later due to the destruction of Buddhism, the surrender of Cheng was abandoned halfway.
Now, after several hours of bloody fighting, the Shule people could not see the hope of victory for the coalition forces, and their originally lively minds once again had other plans.
Because the Shule people suddenly dropped their weapons and fled, the originally precarious coalition formation showed signs of collapse.
Xun Guanniang was overjoyed when she saw this, and led the army to attack more and more fiercely, and after a while, she finally defeated the line held by the Shule people, and turned to the position of the central army of the coalition army.
The rout of the Shule army just now had shaken the hearts of the coalition forces, and if it weren't for the desperate restraint of King Qiuzi and other lords of various countries, I am afraid that the army would have collapsed long ago. However, in the face of the increasingly fierce offensive of the Yan army's iron cavalry, the Western Regions Alliance Army felt more and more powerless.
Finally, not long after the Shule people fled, some Shanshan people abandoned the coalition forces and fled to the rear. This became the last straw that crushed the coalition soldiers, and the coalition soldiers who were still fighting threw away their weapons and fled in all directions regardless of the order.
"It's over, it's all over!" The tired and dusty King Moaned weakly.
……
When the battle of the cavalry encircling and annihilating the infantry of the coalition army was about to come to an end, the infantry of the Yan army was still stubbornly sniping the combined attack of the cavalry of Wusun and Yuban.
Large bed crossbows were lined up in three rows in the middle of the phalanx, winding, firing, and firing in a continuous cycle, and the rain of arrows continued to pour forward. There were even some crossbowmen armed with individual crossbows, under the cover of spearmen, taking advantage of the gap when they stopped, to shoot at the Hulu cavalry, and immediately shot the cavalry of the Western Regions who rushed to the front of the formation.
Seeing that he could not break through the Yan army's front for a long time, the king of the palace was no longer willing to let his subordinates die in vain, and he strongly recommended that the king of Wusun withdraw from the battlefield and return to Wusun.
"My tens of thousands of cavalry have not stopped besieging regardless of casualties, but they have not even been able to tear apart the infantry phalanx of the Yan army, which shows that the Yan army has made sufficient preparations before the battle, and this battle cannot continue like this!"
The king shouted endlessly, so that the dilemma of King Wusun finally made a decision: he planned to withdraw to the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains first, and wait for a few days to find out the situation of the Yan army before fighting.
However, at this time, the scout urgently reported: the Yan cavalry had defeated the allied infantry and was outflanking the cavalry!
Hearing this, King Wusun's face sank, and he had to abort the evacuation plan, and shouted and ordered: "The cavalry of the Yan army is coming!" Good! Right in the hands of this king! The order was given, and all the capable fighters got on their horses and immediately faced the Yan cavalry. ”
Between the orders, King Wusun flew on his horse and personally led the remaining 30,000 cavalry to kill the galloping Yan cavalry like a hurricane.
Looking at the distant King of Wusun, the face of the king was cloudy, and it was said that he should gather his subordinates to accompany the king of Wusun. But he knew very well that the defeat of the Western Regions Alliance in this battle had been decided, and now it was just a matter of sending him to death. But if you evacuate here, once the main force of the coalition army is completely annihilated by the Yan Kingdom, who else will be the opponent of the Yan State in the entire Western Regions at that time? He will forever lose the opportunity to enter the Western Regions.
According to the pre-war deployment of 'upper and lower horses', the Yan Army's iron cavalry was responsible for dealing with the infantry of the coalition army, and once it succeeded, it would immediately return to help, cooperate with the infantry and then destroy the cavalry of the Western Regions.
Yang Hu, who was in charge of commanding the cavalry battle, really lived up to expectations, and finally broke through the coalition army's large array before the coalition cavalry broke through his own infantry phalanx. Later, he left Xun Guanniang and himself to clean up the mess, and ordered two generals, Ran Zhan and Yao Yisheng, each commanding 6,000 cavalry to kill the two wings of the cavalry in the Western Regions from the north and south.
Under the blue sky and sunshine, tens of thousands of iron horsemen on both sides of the enemy and us filled the grassland like boundless waves, roaring to fight to the death. The soldiers of the two armies spread out endlessly, on one side were the coalition cavalry in disheveled clothes, and on the other side were the Yan army iron cavalry dressed in neat dark paper armor, which could be easily identified at a glance.
Most of the Yan army's iron cavalry are the main forces that have experienced battles and even participated in the war of annihilation, and they have been tempered for a long time, and they are commonplace to fight fiercely. It is also the tradition of the soldiers of the Yan Army who are happy when they hear the battle, and they are flying and shouting on the battlefield, but there is no fear of life and death.
Ran Zhan and Yao Yisheng were divided into two huge battle groups, each wedged into the two ribs of the coalition cavalry, and the divisional wedge, encirclement and division were exactly the tactics that the Yan army's iron cavalry was good at.
"Kill Hu, kill Hu!" On the battlefield, the Yan army's shouts shook the heavens and the earth, since the elimination of Hu Zheng, the Yan army is becoming more and more powerful, there are few opponents in the world, it is rare to meet the enemy who dares to fight with the Yan army head-on, and can not help but arouse the blood in the hearts of the soldiers.
Each of them was murderous, and the troops were clearly smaller than the coalition forces, but they showed more courage, killing 30,000 Hu cavalry and retreating.
At the same time, the infantry of the Yan army also took advantage of the situation to surround it, so that the Yan army gained a decisive advantage in the entire battlefield. (To be continued.) )
