Chapter 735: The Decisive Battle Before the Decisive Battle (4)

It seemed that the menacing Qin Wangjun suddenly slowed down when it rushed to the Liang army 200 steps away, which made the Liang army archers who had been waiting in array a little surprised, and many people subconsciously let go of the bowstring, but the Qin Wangjun did not continue to rush forward at all, and the feather arrows flew over and were easily pulled down, or crashed into the shields of the Qin Wangjun's infantry and fell to the ground.

This made Xu Xuanche, who was in charge in person, a little incomprehensible, not only him, but also Changshi Guo Hua and Deputy Marshal Zheng Wenxiu didn't understand what Qin Wangjun was doing.

"Something is wrong? Why don't you take advantage of our unstable foothold to attack us? ”

Guo Hua subconsciously glanced at Xu Xuanche and muttered a question.

"When things go wrong, there must be demons...... The whole army was ordered to be put on alert. ”

Xu Xuanche waved his hand and ordered: "Taking advantage of our unstable footing, the person opposite has let go of such a good opportunity, there must be another plan, come and give the order...... Mobilize all the heavy armor to guard the rear baggage battalion. Zheng Wenxiu, you personally lead the cavalry to respond on the flank, if the enemy comes to attack, listen to my orders! ”

"Whoa!"

Deputy Marshal Zheng Wenxiu answered, strode away and rushed to the cavalry battalion.

"Sun should see!"

Xu Xuanche instructed again: "You go to the front to supervise the battle and tell the archers not to release arrows indiscriminately." If the enemy attacks, fire the bow within 120 paces! Let the spearmen line up in the rear, the enemy will attack, the archers will immediately retreat after three arrows, and the shieldmen and spearmen will form up to make up for it. ”

"Someone!"

He shouted, "Stand up the war drums for me, beat the drums and cheer me on!" ”

"Whoa!"

His own soldiers hurriedly rushed to deliver the order, and in a short time, dozens of huge cowhide war drums were erected. In front of each drum, a shirtless man stood with a heavy drumstick in his hand. Hearing the order, these dozens of people beat the war drums at the same time, the rumbling sound was deafening, and in the sound of the drums, Liang Jun quickly completed the array.

Although they were exhausted, they were all the most elite soldiers of the Great Liang today. As soon as the horn sounded, they quickly changed the array under the command of the low-ranking officer.

"The people on the other side are also in formation!"

Guo Hua pointed to the camp of the Qin Wangjun on the opposite side and said puzzledly: "It seems that there is no intention of attacking!" ”

"No hurry!"

Xu Xuanche calmed down at this time, he looked at Qin Wangjun's side and said lightly: "Anyway, we have to fight, since Li Shimin's soldiers have sent them to the door, let's rush over, although there is still some distance away, but as soon as the war drums sounded, Your Majesty in the city naturally knew that we were back." ”

"What do you mean, wait?"

Guo Hua asked subconsciously.

"Wait!"

Xu Xuanche nodded and said, "Respond to all changes with no change, I want to see what medicine Li Shimin sells in this gourd." If Li Shimin's men and horses just lined up to fight and not attack...... The rumors of Li Shimin's serious injury ......"

"Bluff!"

Guo Huameng reacted, and his eyes were suddenly full of brilliance: "Da Shuai is saying that this team is just bluffing?" Is it just for show? Li Shimin was really injured, and he was extremely serious! In desperation, I will make this appearance! If not, why did the enemy not attack? ”

Guo Hua clenched his fists vigorously and said, "Because the morale of the enemy army is unavailable!" ”

"It's a bit of a possibility, but I still need to be cautious."

Xu Xuanche nodded and said, "The soldiers also need to rest, since he wants to confront each other, then confront each other for a while." If no one in the rear team sneaks up, it can only show that Li Shimin is really bluffing. When the time comes, the army will attack with all its might, and look at the people and horses on the opposite side about 50,000, and I have an army of 160,000, can I still lose? ”

At this moment, suddenly a herald hurriedly rode from behind: "Report! The rear camp was attacked! ”

……

……

Standing in the middle of the military formation, Li Shimin looked at the reinforcements of the Liang army who were pressed by the black pressure on the opposite side and frowned slightly: "It seems that the news from the scouts is good, and the reinforcements of the Liang army are at least 150,000 people." Although they have come from afar, these horses are the elite soldiers under Xiao Miao's command, and they should not be underestimated. ”

"I don't know if I'll be fooled!"

Wei Chigong nodded, and said with some concern: "The thirteenth heir attacked the baggage camp of the rear team of the Liang army with 10,000 light cavalry...... It seems that the strength is a little thin. If the raid is successful at the beginning, the light cavalry will be like a bamboo, and this battle will be easy to fight, but if the Liang army is prepared, the 10,000 light cavalry will be mixed in, and it will be difficult to withdraw again! ”

"Not thin!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "And...... Gu didn't give him 10,000 horses, it was 6,000. ”

"Huh?"

Wei Chigong was stunned and looked at Li Shimin in confusion.

"Raid...... The emphasis is on this sudden word, what you want is to be extremely abrupt, and it is useless to have too many troops. There are only more than 20,000 cavalry under his command, how can he spare half of them and hand them over to the thirteenth heir? Although he didn't show anything, didn't he really think that Lone couldn't see it? ”

Li Shimin sneered and said: "The thirteenth heir only stayed in the camp with a few hundred cavalry, saying that he was ordered by Li Daozong, but in Gu's opinion, it was just a lie that could not be put on the table. If he stays, he must have a plan. It's just that Gu still can't see what he's up to...... To use him alone is a last resort. If he makes another meritorious contribution in this battle, it will not be too late for Lone to believe in him again...... If he really had other plans, then the 6,000 cavalry should be given to him by Lone for his funeral. But...... Even if he is defeated, the rear team of the Liang army will still be disrupted. The thirteenth died of immortality, it doesn't matter. ”

"Yes...... In case of the defeat of the thirteenth heir, the morale of the Liang army will be greatly boosted, and when the time comes, it will not be able to stop this side. ”

Li Shimin sneered and said: "If you can't stop it, you will run away, and you will always have to die...... The rest of the people and horses of the lonely general were ambushed in the east of Xiangyang City, the first three armies were defeated, and the Liang army was bound to pursue, and then Xu Xuanche would relax and be careless! The lonely ambush man and horse will be killed from one side again, how can he be invincible? ”

"The ...... of the first three armed forces"

Wei Chigong opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"Most of these people are Han Shicao's cronies, and dying is not necessarily a bad thing for Lone. Today's battle is about to break the cauldron, although the Liang army is tired, but the strength is strong, if he doesn't show weakness first, how can Xu Xuanche be fooled? After a while, you dispatch our men and horses to slowly retreat to the rear, and don't mess up when you retreat! ”

Li Shimin glanced at Wei Chigong and said, "If the rear camp of the Liang army is really defeated, you will lead the army to attack." If the heir is thirteen defeated...... The Liang army will inevitably storm onslaught, and when the time comes, you will lead your troops to resist for a while and then order a retreat, even if the first three armies are all defeated, it doesn't matter! With the determination to put death and live afterlife, there is only one way to go today! ”

Wei Chigong only felt that his palms were full of sweat, and even his back was soaked with cold sweat.

He never thought that King Qin would plan to do so!

"Si Thirteen is a general, but Lone doesn't dare to really use him now. Lone also knew that this was a bit shady...... However, Wei Chi, you should understand that now you can't trust anyone but you. ”

Wei Chigong nodded blankly, but a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. To be fair, he had some appreciation for the Thirteenth Heir. At the most critical moment, taking a few hundred cavalry to kill Han Shixuan requires not only courage, but also accurate eyesight.

The timing is just right, and not just one person can do it.

"Wei Chi."

Li Shimin patted Wei Chi Gong's shoulder and said, "Gu is going back to the rear army, so I'll leave it to you here." Remember Lone's words, it's nothing to die some people. As long as this big victory can be exchanged, what can the people who die more? If the Liang army's reinforcements are defeated, the soldiers and civilians in the city will no longer have the heart to resist. Breaking Xiangyang is just around the corner. The life and death of loneliness are all in today's day. ”

"Minister, understood!"

Wei Chigong nodded and tightened the lance in his hand.

……

……

The cavalry swooped directly from the flanks to the sound of rumbling war drums, and the soldiers of the baggage battalion in the rear of the Liang army were suddenly in a mess. They are at the back of the line, and it stands to reason that they are the safest. But who would have thought that the tens of thousands of horses in front of Qin Wangjun were just a disguise, and the knife that really stabbed them was on their side!

"Archer!"

He Shan, the Lang general in charge of the detention camp, shouted loudly: "Array! Salvo! ”

The soldiers scrambled together to send the feathered arrows out, but the first round was not a salvo at all. Scattered feathered arrows were shot out from a hundred and fifty paces away from the enemy cavalry, and occasionally the feathered arrows hit the enemy but could not hurt their lives. What really showed its power was the second round of salvo fire from the archers, this round of feather arrows was far more dense than the first round, and the feather arrows were like locusts flying in the sky, and the black pressure pressed towards the cavalry of the Qin Wang's army.

The cavalry at the front was smashed head-on by feathered arrows, and there were hundreds of people who fell off their horses. The cavalry behind could not dodge and collided again, and the sound of people neighing and horses immediately resounded over the battlefield. The soldier who fell to the ground before he had time to stand up was hit by a horse that came from behind, and was trampled into a puddle of flesh in a short time.

If he does not kill someone, the horse will crash into it, and even he may be trampled to death.

"Kill the past and set the camp on fire!"

The thirteenth shouted loudly, and then pulled the mask off. He flattened his lance and drooped slightly, its blades reflecting an eerie color in the sunlight.

With a pop, the lance picked an archer away before he had time to retreat. The blade easily tore through the archer's thin leather armor, then sliced the heart in two. The corpse that had been ejected by the horse's lance fell into the camp of the spearmen behind it, and it was poked into a thousand holes in an instant. The corpse hung from a spear like a lamb to be roasted.

"Kill!"

The light cavalry of the Qin Wangjun stabbed into the gun array of the Liang army like a fast knife, because there were not many people and horses in the baggage battalion, this gun array seemed a little thin, although the speed of the cavalry of the Qin Wang army was reduced a little, but there was no doubt that the thickness of this gun array would definitely not stop the cavalry from stepping into the formation.

Just when the thirteenth and his cavalry were about to penetrate the enemy's formation, a horn suddenly sounded from the Liang army's baggage camp. Then another rain of arrows came over, much denser than the previous feather arrows! Not only the cavalry under the command of the thirteenth heir, but also most of the remaining spearmen of the Liang army were also killed by feather arrows! The covering attack, although tragic, successfully forced the speed of the cavalry of the Qin Wang Army to a halt.

After two more volleys of archers, three boxy formations slowly approached this side.

Hei Thirteen, who had already lost more than a thousand people, saw the three phalanxes, and his eyes instantly widened.

"Heavy infantry!"

The cavalry who had been forced to stop let out a wail, and everyone's faces became ugly!

The light cavalry, which had lost its speed, faced the hoplites who had already been arrayed...... It's tantamount to waiting to be slaughtered! The general commanding the Liang army must have been ruthless, and he was willing to slaughter the hundreds of spearmen on his side, and he also wanted to stop the speed of the cavalry of the Qin army.

The expression of the thirteenth heir was solemn, and he had never been solemn.

"General, what should I do?"

He Ping asked in a low voice.

Si 13 shook his head: "It's not our soldiers, there's no need to feel distressed!" Let the cavalry divide into three teams, each with a thousand men to attack a heavy formation, and the others all go around and set fire! He Ping...... Remember, let our brothers be at the rear, and no one is allowed to rush forward without my orders! ”

"!"

Hei Thirteen spat a mouthful of bloody spit and scolded: "Only give me five or six thousand cavalry, Li Shimin, your heart is really fucking ruthless!" ”

PS: Today's two more, the burn is a little dizzy, it is the most critical time, and in this state can not code qualified text. If you don't burn it tomorrow, let's explode again when your brain is clear. I don't ask for anything, I don't want to update it, I don't have the face to beg.
