Chapter 272: Trapping Gusu [4]
The only thing that made Prince Friends happy was that the Chinese army's military vehicles did not suffer too much loss, and the Chinese army has always been the main force, and the Chinese army has the strongest strength. Therefore, at the battlefield of the Chinese army, there were a hundred military vehicles charging the Han army.
In the opinion of the prince, this hundred military chariots were enough to penetrate and disrupt the battle formation of the Han barbarians. In the war at that time, the battle formation was penetrated and disrupted, which meant defeat. This is because there were only a few professional soldiers in the war at that time, and most of the soldiers were civilians in peacetime and soldiers in wartime. But is the battle really as optimistic as it seems to the prince?
"Put !!" The black bear roared like a beast of prey.
The first row of infantry all crouched down, the second group of soldiers half crouched, and the third row of soldiers stood up straight, but they all had one thing in common, they all held crossbows. As soon as the command sounded, the soldiers immediately pulled the trigger, and the crossbow bolts shot out with lightning speed.
At this time, the Thunderbolt Hall in the rear also projected boulders, although the accuracy of the Thunderbolt cannon was speechless, but Yang Zilu did not necessarily need to hit the enemy. It only took one block to block the road, then it was enough to make the troop vehicles have to stop, disrupting their formation.
It is not for nothing that military vehicles once became the mainstream of the battlefield. Although they were hit by crossbows and boulders, 50 of the 100 troop chariots still survived, and they were like 'pawns' on the chessboard attacking the enemy with no indomitable progress.
"Rejection of the !!" The black bear is no longer than before, and after a lot of war, he already knows when and what method to use to deal with the enemy, instead of blindly rushing and fighting.
The Han infantry immediately picked up the spears on the ground, the first group of soldiers held a round shield in front of them, pierced one end of the spear into the ground, and pointed diagonally at the military chariot, the second and third rows of soldiers raised their spears horizontally, and the fourth row of soldiers put their spears on the shoulders of the soldiers in front. A forest of steel thorns was formed in front of the Wu army.
"Drive! Drive! Wu Jun's driver waved his horsewhip vigorously, they had no choice, and from the moment the military chariot appeared, he made a living by charging into battle. They are not flexible enough, and they cannot calmly retreat like cavalry, and then look for fighters. Therefore, even if the name knows how to charge forward and die for a lifetime, they still have to charge fearlessly.
The war horses were whipped by the death force of the driver, and they could no longer care about the spears and thorns in front of them, and they were galloping wildly with all their strength. The horses' hooves trampled the earth, causing a slight shaking, as if the earth trembled at their charge.
But in the face of such a mighty situation, the Han army did not move at all, because since Yang Zilu swore an oath, they had already made up their minds to fight to the death with the Wu army. As Yang Zilu said, with the current military rations, even if they escape, it is impossible for them to escape back to Zhejiang, not to mention that the ships in Zhejiang have been scuttled. Now the only thing they can do is fight to the death!
"Gale! Gale! Gale!!! ”
I don't know who shouted first, in the Han army's infantry battle array, there was a neat roar, fear was dispelled in this roar, and the battle spirit was condensed in this roar.
"Great Wu Kingdom! Victory !! "The Wu army is not to be outdone, maybe they are not as many as the Han army, maybe their voice is not as loud as the Han army, but their fighting spirit is no worse than that of the Han army.
Even Yang Zilu couldn't help but feel a little respect for the Wu soldiers on the opposite side, and the rise of Wu was not without reason. Also two hundred years later, it is not by chance that a man named Xiang Yu, with 8,000 Jiangdong disciples, swept the world.
Although the chariots were brave, their sacrifices did not break through the Han army's defensive line. However, the Han army was not comfortable, and we paid more than 300 dead and wounded for this.
"It's time to end this war!" Yang Zilu glanced at the battlefield and turned around to get off the lookout.
"Lord? What happened to you? Hou Xiong asked in surprise.
Yang Zilu got off the lookout, took the helmet handed over by the soldiers of the Yulin Army, put it on his head, and said in a deep voice: "Go to war!" ”
"It's too dangerous! Lord, you should command the soldiers here! When Hou Xiong heard this, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly climbed the wooden ladder while persuading.
"The widow is the king of the Han Kingdom! A widow cannot even have the courage of a small soldier! Yang Zilu said as she waved her hand. Two soldiers of the Yulin Army immediately stopped Houxiong.
"Lord! The son of a daughter can't sit down! Hou Xiong struggled hard, straightened his neck and shouted hoarsely.
But Yang Zilu turned a deaf ear, got off the military vehicle, and turned over on the horse.
Yang Tugou rode his horse to Yang Zilu's side, Yang Zilu glanced at Yang Tugou and asked, "Are you also here to persuade the widow?" ”
"Nope! The minister asks the lord to allow the minister to hold the flag for the lord! Yang Tugou was on horseback, bowed to Yang Zilu, and said with a solemn face.
"Good! Yang Tugou, today it is up to you to hold the flag for the widow! Yang Zilu said in a deep voice.
A horn sounded, and a thousand armored cavalry gathered under the banner of Yang Zilu. Polished slippery plate armor that sparkles in the sun.
"Let's go!" Yang Zilu didn't do much encouragement, and from the exposed eyes of the armored horseman, Yang Zilu had already seen a strong fighting spirit. All Yang Zilu needed to do was order them to attack. And there are only two ways to stop them from attacking, everyone is killed, or all the enemies are defeated, otherwise even if only one enemy is resisting, they will fearlessly charge.
The soldiers in front had already removed the corpses and the remains of the military vehicles, revealing an exit fifty paces wide.
Seeing that the Han army on the opposite side suddenly revealed such a big gap, Prince You couldn't help but be at a loss. looked at Shou Yuyao and asked, "General Shou, what do you say the Han barbarian is doing?" ”
Shou Yuyao's eyes flashed with a fierce light and said: "Prince, no matter what tricks the Han barbarians play, it's fine!" This is our chance! The minister will go down and lead the elite soldiers to advance lightly! ”
"Good! But General Shou should be careful! Prince You didn't know what to do now, and when he heard Shou Yuyao say this, he nodded. Anyway, now what Shou Yu Yao says, he listens to everything.
Shou Yuyao immediately ordered the mobilization of 1,000 elite light infantry and launched a charge against the Han army. At the same time, he did not forget to order the Wu army to charge, and the Wu army was probably afraid of the thunderbolt artillery, and the formation was scattered and the charge was launched in a loose formation.
The 1,000 light infantry led by Shou Yuyao rushed first, but when they came to the gap, everyone was stunned. In front of them was not a gap, but a torrent of steel.
"Quick! Defend in formation! "Shou Yu Yao still has some skills in the end, otherwise he would not have been left by his husband to assist the prince. But in front of him were a thousand armored horses, could he really hold back? And with a thousand light infantry came to resist.
"Kill !!" Yang Zilu couldn't help but tilt slightly when he saw the corners of his mouth hidden behind the mask of the 1,000 Wu State light infantry, revealing a sneer that no one saw.
The spear easily pierced the body of the light infantry of the Wu State, and the iron hooves smashed the Wu soldiers who hit the ground and trampled them into meat sauce.
Wu Jun was stunned, they didn't know where this thousand metal monsters came from. The sword slashed at them, only to splatter a spark and a piercing metallic clash of metal. The arrow hit them, leaving only a white lead, and then bounced away.
The armored cavalry is like a hot knife, cutting through the solidified butter body, and easily slicing it.
The light cavalry on both sides of the Han army has also slaughtered the two wings of the Wu army, like a pair of iron fists, and like iron pincers, from the two wings straight into the Wu army's middle army, killing the Wu army soldiers in a big mess.
"Kill!" The two of them roared as if they were killing gods, covered in blood, roared, and led the infantry to divide the Wu army from the road opened up by Yang Zilu, killing the Wu army's formation in chaos.
"Drums! Beat the drums! The prince was already at a loss, and just blindly ordered the drums to beat, as if the drums could defeat the enemy.
But he didn't want this drum to attract a killing god, so he listened to the drum and shouted: "The big Han Yu Lin Lang will be endless!" The enemy general has reported his name! ”
The prince dares to report his name! Seeing that the other party was covered in blood, Changge was hanging a little bit of minced meat in his hand, and he didn't know how many people he had killed. was so frightened that the prince's soul was scattered, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
The prince hurriedly ordered the soldier on the chariot: "Quick! Fast! Go back to Gusu City! ”
The driver hurriedly drove the military vehicle to turn around, and was so angry that he shouted, scolding: "People like you are the commander of the Wu army!" What a shame! ”
The prince covered his face with a sleeve robe, ashamed! However, between honor and life, Prince Friend undoubtedly chose the latter. The escape of the prince friend made the morale of the Wu army generals, who were already demoralized, collapse immediately.
Wang Zidi was originally fighting with Mang Gao, but suddenly saw that the soldiers around him were scattered, and someone shouted: "The prince has run away!" Run, everybody! ”
The prince couldn't care about the recklessness, and hurriedly turned his head, only to see the handsome flag constantly moving backwards, obviously the prince had fled. Reckless and distracted by the prince, you can't miss the opportunity! Mang Gao immediately took the opportunity to pick up the waist crossbow hanging from the saddle and pulled the trigger on Wang Zidi's neck.
Wang Zidi only felt a sudden pain in his neck, and it was a lot more difficult to breathe, so he reached out and touched his neck. But he found that he didn't know when there was an extra arrow on his neck, Wang Zidi's eyes widened, and he shook a few times on the military vehicle, and Huo Ran fell down from the military vehicle.
Mang Gao immediately shouted excitedly: "The general is dead!" Don't surrender yet! When! ”
After saying that, he rushed out and cut down the flag on the military cart, and the morale of the Wu army, which had collapsed, immediately turned into no morale, and many Wu soldiers were horrified, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Surrender!" I'm willing to surrender! ”
