Chapter 383: The Battle of Liangzhou 1
readx; Everyone was amused by this scene, and for a while they left a sword behind them. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info just when everyone was laughing, unconsciously it had reached a dangerous distance very close to Tuyuhun. The rough and loud voice of the herald came from the middle of the army: "The whole army stops advancing, and rests in place for half an hour!" ”
Although Wei Hong, Cheng Chumo and others are not ordinary, they must also obediently obey orders, pull the reins tightly, stop their mounts, and rest in place. In fact, the main thing is to let the war horse rest, after all, it has been dozens of miles, if the war horse is exhausted when it is time to charge and fight, it will be a big deal. Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the voice of the herald sounded again: "The whole army listens to the order, Qin Huaiyu leads three thousand cavalry, breaks away from the army, and attacks the enemy formation from the right flank; Li Dejian led 2,000 cavalry to attack the enemy from the left flank. The remaining soldiers and horses, facing the enemy head-on, accelerate in turn, and attack with all their members! ”
After receiving the order, Qin Huaiyu and Li Dejian led their troops to break away from the main army and gallop away in two directions, left and right. Since it is necessary to attack from both flanks, it is necessary to move on a longer route than the main army, so as soon as it is separated from the main army, it is to advance at full speed. The main force switched from jogging to medium speed, and finally sprinted at full speed. As soon as the speed of the main force was raised, a black and strong tooth general ran to Wei Hong's side and yelled at Wei Hong: "Sir, the chief manager has an order, ordering you to slow down, guard the rear with the chief manager, and command the battle!" ”
Wei Hong was still wondering just now, thinking about when Wei Zheng would call himself to the rear, he couldn't really think of himself as a general and shoot to the front line, right? At this time, when he heard the report of the tooth, Wei Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and accelerated to the side of the main army with all his strength with a sword from the east, then slowed down, turned the horse's head, and ran towards a phalanx of soldiers of a thousand people in the rear. When he arrived, he found that tents had already begun to be set up at the scene, after all, Wei Zheng had to command the operation in the rear, and a temporary command center was indispensable. As for the 1,000 people who stayed to guard the headquarters, although it was a bit much, it was also a helpless move, after all, Wei Zheng, as the soul of the entire army, must ensure that nothing goes wrong, and beware of the enemy's trick of 'capturing the thief and capturing the king first'.
After a short time, the camp tent was built, the cavalry lined up on the periphery, Wei Hong tied the horse and came east with a sword to enter the tent. Wei Zheng was the only one in the huge tent, and at the door of the tent, dozens of heralds stood neatly, and Wei Zheng's orders could be conveyed to the battlefield in front at any time.
Time passed bit by bit, and after about half an hour, the herald on the battlefield in front reported that the main force had exchanged hands with the enemy, and the cavalry led by Qin Huaiyu had also launched an attack from the right flank, and Li Dejian's 2,000 cavalry had not yet arrived. The 9,000 main cavalry that met the enemy head-on, in the first wave of charge, completely tore apart the enemy's formation, but rushed into the enemy's interior. The cavalry led by Qin Huaiyu on the right side was ambushed by a tripping horse and suffered heavy losses.
After getting the news from the front, Wei Zheng frowned, looked at the strategic map in the center of the tent, and after a moment of silence, Chong Weihong asked, "Is this kind of loss reasonable?" ”
Wei Hong stood on the other side of the strategic map, looking at Wei Zheng face to face, although his face was also very solemn, but his tone was quite relaxed: "If you go back to the old pavilion, this kind of loss is indispensable, after all, Tuyuhun is not muddy, even if there is no cavalry, it will never be captured." As for the stumbling block, it only had a certain effect on the right-wing Qin Huaiyu's department, although there were some losses, but it could only play a role once, and it could not continue to play a role, so there was no need to worry. ”
Hearing Wei Hong's remarks, Wei Zheng nodded worriedly, his eyes were firmly fixed on the strategic map, and he didn't say anything more. While Wei Hong and Wei Zheng were waiting for the return from the front, the battle ahead had already fallen into a state of anxiety. The 3,000 army led by Qin Huaiyu was ambushed by a stumbling horse rope and lost nearly 600 horsemen, which can be described as a heavy loss. And because of the stumbling rope, the cavalry charging at full speed had to slow down, and the charge that should have been played could not reach the power, and they were deeply surrounded by the enemy, and it was extremely difficult to support.
Compared with the tragic situation of Qin Huaiyu's department, Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin, who were facing it head-on, were much easier and smoother. After the main force succeeded in dividing the enemy camp into two, Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin respectively led a large force of cavalry to rush back and forth in the enemy formation, and the 30,000 enemy troops killed by the 9,000 cavalry were in a hurry and were tired of coping. Just when the enemy and us were fighting inextricably, the 2,000 cavalry led by Li Dejian finally arrived at the battlefield and invaded from the left flank, but because the enemy's formation had been disrupted and everywhere was full of soldiers from both sides, Li Dejian decisively gave up the charge and ordered the cavalry under his command to form a long formation and carry out a carpet attack on the enemy from the left flank.
In the battle of Horsehair Mountain, Qin Huaiyu was the most seriously injured, if he hadn't been temporarily rescued by Wei Hong, I am afraid that he would have died in Huangquan. In this battle of Liangzhou, Qin Huaiyu once again fell into the most dangerous situation among his brothers. A large number of enemy troops launched a counterattack offensive against Qin Huaiyu's troops, often one cavalry had to deal with two or three people, and this kind of battle with fewer enemies was obviously unfavorable to the cavalry, coupled with the weakness of the cavalry in the chaotic battlefield, which made Qin Huaiyu's troops even more disadvantaged.
"Where are the heralds?" Qin Huaiyu swung away the enemy's incoming spear with a sword, pressed his body on the horse's back, rode the horse basically two steps forward, and violently slashed the enemy attacking him to the ground. When the thirty cavalry surrounded Qin Huaiyu in the middle to prevent the enemy from approaching Qin Huaiyu again, Qin Huaiyu called out to the heralds.
A thin and small soldier rushed to Qin Huaiyu's side on a tall horse, clasped his fists and saluted: "What did the general call me!" ”
Seeing that the herald finally came, Qin Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his subordinates in danger, did not dare to delay more, and shouted at the herald: "Pass my order, report to the commander, our unit has lost more than half of it under the enemy's counterattack." A large number of enemy troops are attacking our department, so quickly let the chief send additional support! ”
The herald was ordered to leave, and after a while, he appeared at the rear command post, turned over and dismounted, ran with both legs, and entered the handsome tent directly without reporting, knelt on one knee, and said profusely: "The commander, General Qin's headquarters, encountered the enemy's joint efforts to surround and kill, and has lost more than half of it, General Qin asks the commander to send additional support to the right wing!" ”
Hearing this, Wei Zheng suddenly stood up from the ground, his face shocked, and said in disbelief: "How long has it been fighting?" Qin Huaiyu's department has already lost more than half? The whole 1,500 cavalrymen dismounted and stretched their necks to let the enemy soldiers cut down one by one, and they had to cut down for some time! (To be continued.) )
