Chapter 861: Chaotic War
"Bang!"
The huge stone bullet slammed into the city wall of Lin'an City with the sound of a howling wind, and the violent impact made the entire city wall shake several times. The wolf soldiers holding spears and scimitars on the city had just stabilized their feet, and when the sun was in the sky, more than a dozen stone bullets were violently thrown from the long row of catapults under the city.
"Boom!"
Lin'an City is just a small county town, the thin city wall of less than two zhang finally could not withstand such a violent impact, in a shocking loud noise, the north city wall collapsed first, revealing a huge opening.
"Kill!" Shen Luoyan, who went to the front line to watch the battle on the cloud platform, immediately issued an order to charge.
On the cloud car, a tall and sturdy flag officer immediately waved the Shen Zi Zhongjun Daxu in his hand. The crimson giant Chinese army Da Xuan slowly pointed forward diagonally, and the tip of the big gun pointed directly at Beicheng.
The front finger of the big army, the whole army is attacking!
The Chinese army pointed at the big Xu, and suddenly the slightly smaller left and right sides on the left and right sides also immediately moved. The two sturdy flag bearers, one on the left and one on the right, danced the eight-zhang long Daxu in their hands, instigated the war horses, and began to lead the soldiers and horses on the left and right wings to charge towards Lin'an City under the protection of the flag team.
The three armies are moving forward together!
Following Da Xu's order, one after another the team flags began to wave, which was the most traditional method of attack. The commander commands the left, center and right armies with Daxu, and the deputy commander of the three armies commands all the team flags with the command flag. Each team flag represents a group of soldiers, and when the whole army fights on a large scale, the command system of the whole army is directly divided into three levels: the commander, the deputy commander of the three armies, and the team is positive. The rest of the brigade commanders, captains, generals, etc., were not in charge of command.
Shen Luoyan personally led 50,000 Wu troops, divided into three armies on the left, center and right, and 1,000 teams. Each army commanded more than 300 teams, climbed on the cloud car, and the commanders of the three armies had a clear understanding of the battlefield situation at a glance, and constantly issued orders to the banner soldiers around them. The flag commander kept waving the small flag. The teams below are immediately moving forward according to the order, up and down in an orderly manner, without the slightest chaos.
Feng Wan and Feng Ang rode horses and wielded guns. Looking at the Wu army that was constantly pouring into the city, they couldn't help frowning, they searched for the Wu army for many days without any results. Unexpectedly, now 50,000 Wu troops are killed in front of them in a blink of an eye. and broke through Lin'an City so quickly.
Feng Ang watched the Wu army attack fiercely, the attack was fierce but not chaotic, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.
"Wan'er, these people are brave and fierce, they must be the elite of the Wu army. Let's get out! ”
Feng Wan was also very straightforward. There was no hesitation. Although she looked down on her father in many places, she still believed in him when it came to fighting. After all, he used to be the Twelve Guards General who stood side by side with fierce generals such as Lai Hu'er, Shi Wansui, Yang Su, Xue Shiyou, Xin Shiyou, Li Jing, Luo Yi, Yang Yichen, and Zhang Xutuo. In the southern and northern wars, the old man did fight more battles than he ate salt.
"Retreat! Brothers retreat to Jiankang! ”
A short command was quickly passed on, and one after another fierce Baiyue native soldiers, with the property they had looted all the way, followed their leaders one after another, forming small groups of small troops. Four doors are wide open at the moment. Kill a bloody path and flee in all directions.
Although the Baiyue native soldiers scattered and fled, they were very fierce when they fled, and they did not panic and disperse. On the contrary, after the noisy separation, one by one is like a fish jumping into the sea and a tiger entering the mountains and forests. A gang of three. A group of five, a team of ten. A hundred in a bunch. Everyone carried bags and silver, knives and guns. It's as fast as a rabbit. Along the way, but there were those who stood in the way, they were a burst of fierce killing and slashing, and in the Wu army's formation, they were actually quickly killed out of a bloody way, and most of them had already fought their way out of the encirclement.
On the cloud car, Shen Luoyan was also very surprised to see this scene. Originally, she thought that this brute army, which had no military discipline at all, should be crushed with a single blow after being surrounded. But at this time, she had already seen a little bit of fame.
…,
Although the native soldiers have no military discipline, they are not a rabble. Looking at the way they marched and broke through, they were a well-trained army. At the moment, he also put away his contempt, and calmly ordered: "The whole army will pursue them, bite them, maintain the formation, and drive them to Jiankang!" ”
Shen Luoyan did not let the troops pursue with all their might, but let the troops maintain a formation and pursue, hanging them all the way, even if he did not let them go, but he was not in a hurry to pounce.
"Pass my order to Sun Shihan and Chen Dang, the two generals, and order them to immediately tighten the encirclement in the direction of Jiankang City from the southeast and southwest. Sun Shihan was in the southwest, Chen Dang was in the southeast, and the main palace was due south, and our three-way army was encircled and encircled, cooperating with the attack of the three marshals Shan Xiongxin, Du Fuwei, and Li Zitong. Be sure to annihilate all Jiangdong Chen troops in one fell swoop! ”
"Yes!" The messenger turned on his horse and sped away.
Guazhoudu, Jingkou City, Lishan.
A few days ago, Su Lie and Feng Wan's father and daughter besieged the city to send reinforcements, and annihilated 10,000 Wu troops in one fell swoop. After only a few days, the blood on the plain at the foot of Lishan has not been washed away, Chen Feng, who hurriedly returned from Jiankang City, led 10,000 Chen troops to rush back to Jingkou and set foot on this blood-stained land again.
Most of the 10,000 Chen troops were infantry, hurrying all the way.
"Flutter!"
Suddenly, a burst of birds flew away in the forest on Lishan.
Chen Feng in the Chen Army Formation frowned, raised his hand and said, "Stop advancing!" ”
"Governor, what's going on?" The adjutant general stepped forward and asked.
"The birds in the forest are frightened, this is a sign of ambush! This is a time of tension and we have to be careful. Immediately send a team of light horsemen to reconnoiter in the forest! The whole army paused its advance and prepared for battle. Chen Feng said.
The emperor over there suddenly ordered them to return to Jingkou, and the Wu army was nowhere to be seen, and Chen Feng had to be a little more careful.
The 10,000 Chen troops stopped advancing at the moment and quickly changed their formation in front of the mountain, from a long snake formation on the march of the battle to a phalanx of infantry spears waiting for the enemy.
"Woohoo!"
As soon as the small group of knights who had gone up the mountain entered the forest, a moment later they had already galloped back, and feathered arrows flew out behind them.
"Report, Governor, Wu Army ambush found in the forest!" Light Ride Rapid Returns.
As soon as his words fell, countless birds in the forest were startled, and in a huge shout of killing, countless Wu troops wearing red robes had already rushed out from the edge of the mountain forest.
"Array!"
"Meet the enemy!"
"Archer ready!" Crossbowmen prepare!
"Pikemen prepare!"
"Shieldmen prepare!
Orders one after another rose in the Chen army's array, although these 10,000 Chen troops were not the elite of the Chen army, but their equipment was allocated according to the regular government army. Long-range crossbowmen, archers, mid-range javelinmen, mine-throwers, and close-quarters shieldmen, spearmen, and axemen. It is completely the standard Chen Army's field combat system, relying on strong and sophisticated equipment, although these are mostly second-level units of the township soldiers and militia groups, but the combat effectiveness is still not to be underestimated.
"Crossbowman, fire!"
When the Wu army rushed to within a hundred paces, the Chen army, which was in full array, took the lead in attacking.
Countless crossbow arrows flew up into the sky and turned into dark clouds, and then the next moment they whistled and turned into a rain of arrows.
One after another powerful arrows fell, hitting one Wu army after another. Wu Jun was constantly nailed to the ground by arrows during the charge, and some unlucky ghosts even directly hit several arrows and became hedgehogs.
After a charge of thousands of light infantry in front, another force rushed out from the edge of the forest. This time it was a well-equipped light cavalry unit, and the Marshal of the South Vietnamese Army, Li Zitong, rode his horse slowly out of the forest, looking at the light infantry who kept charging and falling, and there was not much pity in his heart.
These light infantry were poorly armed, and most of them had a spear or a horizontal knife in their hands, and they did not even have a piece of iron armor on their bodies. These people don't have much training, they are basically soldiers who are replenished before each war, and to put it bluntly, they are cannon fodder. At the beginning of each battle, it is used to impact and consume the enemy's weapons.
…,
"Boom!"
The long sword was unsheathed, and Li Ziyong pointed forward with a cold face: "The cavalry is outflanked on the left and right flanks, and the armored infantry is attacked!" ”
"Kill!" The real main forces of the Vietnamese army began to attack.
At this time, the thousands of light infantry who were cannon fodder finally rushed to the front of Chen's army after half of them were killed and wounded.
"Change formation! Gun array! ”
There was another shout, and the well-trained crossbowmen retreated, while the soldiers with shields and spears in the back quickly stepped forward. In a moment, a formation had already changed, turning one phalanx into a tortoise hedgehog formation.
"Thorn!"
"Drink!" Countless pikemen roared in unison, and one by one spears stretched out from the shield array, and in an instant, the little ghosts on the countless spears shone with a little light, shining Wu Jun's eyes, and the spear pierced Wu Jun's body!
"Stab again!"
"Hah!" The pikemen in the first row had not yet withdrawn their spears, and the pikemen in the second row had already screamed and stabbed the second shot.
Bayonet, collect the gun. Collect the gun, stab the gun.
Rows after rows of Wu light infantry fell into the formation, and the corpses were piled up piece by piece, and soon a circle of corpses was piled up outside the formation. Most of the 5,000-strong South Vietnamese light infantry in the first wave of attack, with the exception of a small number of arrows still lying on the ground, had already died under the long-range crossbows and close-quarters guns, and the spearmen, mine-throwers, and axemen had already been wiped out before they could even strike.
Li Zitong on the edge of the mountain and forest had an extremely ugly face, he didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of this army, which Shen Luoyan called just the second-line miscellaneous reserve army of the Chen army, was so strong. However, after only a slight loss of consciousness, he immediately regained his composure.
No matter how strong the Chen army is, they only have 10,000 people. And he had 20,000 horses on this trip, not to mention, he was just here to drag down this Chen army. His real purpose was to attack Kyoguchi Castle. Over there, he had 30,000 horses, while there were only 10,000 Chen troops in Jingkou City. As long as he dragged this support soldier and waited until Jingkou City was captured, no matter how powerful the Chen army was, it could only be a turtle in an urn.
"Pull the catapult up and trap them!"
