Chapter 240: Engagement
Now it is no longer practical to attack the dust pass, and we must give up decisively, and what we want to think about at this time is how to retain our strength to the greatest extent in the battle of the Liufa army, in order to fight back.
"Recall the besieging soldiers! Shield hand forward! Everybody's in line! Full Moon Array Defense! An Shixian stood up from the chariot and kept giving orders, and he had a deeper confusion in his heart.
Isn't Liufa believing in the city? Why did he appear outside the city with cavalry? As far as he knew, the situation in Xiangyin was changing rapidly and was extremely complicated, how could Liu Fa transfer troops to Chenguan at this joint, didn't he want Xiangyin? What the hell is this person doing, he really can't figure it out?
The order was given, and tens of thousands of people lined up in a formation like a crescent moon in the face of the rushing cavalry like a tide. However, the cavalry, both in terms of speed and impact, is superior to all arms, and has been the backbone of the charge against the enemy since ancient times, and An Shixian's army is mostly infantry because it wants to attack the city, only 3,000 cavalry, and the two armies have not yet clashed.
The galloping cavalry got closer and closer to the Mangyuan army, and in the blink of an eye, it was like a snowy blade, with an unstoppable momentum, splitting a dazzling gap in the black-armored Mangyuan army, this gap was tearing bigger and bigger with the influx of cavalry, and finally the cavalry passed through the full moon defense array without any scruples, and the Mangyuan army left a corpse.
"Stabilize the formation!"
Ye Qiqi's face turned a little pale, and he no longer looked indifferent and cold, hissing exhausted, shouting like a madman: "Release the arrow!" Hurry up and release the arrows! ”
As soon as the words fell, a rain of arrows roared towards the cavalry. But it was too late, and the cavalry galloped eastward without looking back, without slowing down the horse, and gradually moving away, the arrows were shot with little effect, and did not cause any damage to the cavalry at all.
An Shixian's expression was gloomy and his face was pale. Liufa! I really underestimated you before......
He didn't know that the leader of this team was not Liu Fa, but Qing Yunfei under Liu Fa, and when Qing Yunfei arrived outside Chenguan City with his men and horses, it was already two hours later. In these two hours, Qing Yunfei followed Liu Fa's order, and after harassing Mangyuan on a small scale, he did not attack again, and took his cavalry more than ten miles away, staring at the Mangyuan army with a tiger's eye, after all, he did not bring many men and horses with him when he went south this time, except for the barbarian people and horses under his command, and some of them were Xiangyin's soldiers and horses
-- The cost of cavalry and war horses is very high, there is no complete certainty, Qing Yunfei does not dare to make senseless sacrifices, he is no longer the indomitable, headless and brainless Qing Yunfei of the past, with Liu Fa for more than half a year, he also adapted to the life of the Han people, and learned a lot of things, reckless, sharp, little by little disappearing.
But after the soldiers and horses of Mangyuan were killed by the Qingyun Fei cavalry for a while, including Ye Qiqi, they all had strong psychological pressure, and now on the horse, An Shixian looked at Liu Fa from a distance, but he couldn't see Liu Fa's appearance clearly, he raised his horsewhip and pointed diagonally, and asked the guards on the side and asked: "Which part of the black oppressive army is it, is it Liu Fa?" ”
The guards on the side were also stunned, between the lightning and flint, they didn't know who was in front of them, the soldiers and horses of Mangyuan were still falling, and what made them aggrieved was that they didn't know who they were facing.
If it is said that it is Liu Fa, this cavalry is like a barbarian, extremely strong, rampage, not afraid of them at all, and the body size is not like the Han people, if it is not Liu Fa, the banner above the head of the leading general is not a willow word, in this southwest, in addition to Liu Fa, who else has such earth-shattering combat power!
"On the other side, General Liufa?"
Ye Qiqi was shocked in his heart, picked up his gun and sent out the troops, the imperial horse walked to the front of the army, looking at Qing Yunfei in the distance, his face was very ugly, just a moment, the soldiers under his command suffered great losses.
Outside the city, the middle ground after the two armies ran was covered with yellow dust. Like a giant demon, he opened his mouth and smiled mockingly at the crowd.
Power, utilitarianism, and the things that the world pursues all their lives, if you look at it in the eyes of gods and demons, may be particularly ridiculous, right?
The two armies confronted each other quietly on the snow-filled plain outside the city, but the battlefield of 10,000 people was silent, just a strong murderous aura that could not be breathed, with the surging yellow dust, gradually spreading and solidifying on the empty plain. This is a large-scale confrontation between the two armies, the array of the two armies stretches for dozens of miles, and there is no end in sight, although the confrontation has not yet begun, but the rich murderous aura is like the yellow dust in front of them, overwhelmingly pressing on everyone's hearts.
Under the expectant eyes of the generals, Qingyunfei casually carried the mace iron rod, dialed the horse forward, and the horse leisurely stepped into the front of the army, and then raised his head and slowly looked at the opposite side.
The battlefield was silent, only a breeze blew by, slowly blowing away the yellow dust between the two, and Ye Seventeen's gloomy expression became clearer and clearer.
"Qingyunfei, my name is - Qingyunfei!"
Qing Yunfei stood on the ground with the mace on his shoulder, splashed a trace of snowflakes, and a thunderous sound, Ye Seventeen's three words, resounded under the city!
"I haven't heard of it!"
Ye Qiqi dusted off his body and replied without raising his head, looking very disdainful.
"Well, I'll let you remember!"
Qing Yunfei didn't say much, just nodded, and then waved his hand.
Everything is ready, the war drums suddenly sounded, the formation of the two armies has been formed, only to see the vast plain on the yellow dust in the sky, the figures are building, the phalanx of swords and swords faintly form two huge formations, the soldiers of the Mangyuan are very dense, the front tip is thick and the back is thick, like a huge awl, pointing directly to the position of the Chinese army of Qingyunfei, the forward is armed with spears, and the two sides are protected by shields, the formation is quite rigorous, seamless.
The thousands of troops who surrendered also obeyed Qing Yunfei's orders, divided the soldiers under their command into three routes, and faintly surrounded the soldiers and horses of Mangyuan, if the army of Mangyuan City is like a sharp sword, the army under the command of Qingyunfei is like an all-encompassing scabbard, and the direction of the two armies is just to incorporate this sword into the sheath. All things are born and restrain each other, and the battle of the army does not rely on a clever formation, but on the proper command of the generals on both sides. Sometimes the sword is too sharp, and the scabbard may not be able to hold it.
The low horn sounded, and its voice was like a sob. It seems to have played an elegy for the soldiers who are about to die in this war in advance, adding a bit of desolation and sadness to the murderous battlefield. Immediately after that, the drums of war were beating, and the drums were marching in, and the sound of the drums was the order to attack. In front of the phalanx at the forefront of the Central Route Army, a deputy general with a bearded face drew his sword and shouted violently: "Killing thieves and making meritorious contributions is today!" ”
"Kill!"
The soldiers under the command of Qing Yunfei shouted loudly, the sound shook the sky, and a pair of eyes turned red, staring at the enemy on the opposite side with awe-inspiring fighting spirit. In the shouting of killing, the archers in the rear formation stepped forward, their strong bows pointed diagonally into the air, and shot the arrows that had already been placed on the strings upward. Although the bow and arrow is a long-range strike weapon, the disadvantage is that the number and strength of the blow are slightly insufficient, and in the interval between the enemy's charge, they can only shoot three arrows in a row at most, and then they quickly turn sideways and give way to an open area between the phalanx, so that their soldiers can charge easily. The drums of war beat more and more rapidly.
The three-way army raised its spear at the same time, the general pointed the sword at the enemy's formation, and suddenly slashed the sword in his hand, the red order flag shook rapidly, and the army was like an arm, and tens of thousands of people rushed to the enemy at the same time, getting closer and closer, and finally like two meteorites that swept across the sky at high speed, with the faint wind and thunder, they collided fiercely together, bursting out of a dazzling spark. The huge war machine began to operate, and to the sound of the earth-shattering war drums, the two armies began to fight each other fiercely and brutally.
I have to say that the physical fitness of the barbarian soldiers is better than that of the Han people, although it is a cold winter, but the soldiers and horses of these barbarians are full of blood, and some even take off their clothes and armor, and rush to the top bare-chested.
"Kill!"
Bing Ge beat his shield, and a group of death-defying troops rushed towards the soldiers of Mangyuan like thunder, and there were more soldiers and horses in Mangyuan than Qingyunfei, but a few days of siege had already made the soldiers of Mangyuan powerless and could only resist stubbornly.
Nangong was angry and stood at the head of the city, looked at Qing Yunfei, looked at Jiang Baiyan beside him, and said simply: "He, not bad!" ”
Only he is qualified to say such a thing, the God of War in Southern Prison, admiring Qing Yunfei, which can make him proud even if it is not a glory for Qing Yunfei!
