Chapter 175: Slaughter
(Ask for collection)
The mountain bandits of Junozawa have all overlooked a key factor, this season, the north wind is blowing! It was in February that the howling north wind could easily blow away the arrows they had shot into the wind! Even if they were blushing and thick-necked, they couldn't let the feathered arrows they shot out defeat the north wind's block.
Originally, the bamboo bow in the hands of the Juyeze bandits could barely send the feather arrows out one hundred and twenty or thirty steps away, and when they reached that distance, they had lost their strength lightly. Coupled with the wind, their feathered arrows can't even shoot eighty paces!
"Arrows!"
Li Xian, who was riding a big black horse, was at the forefront of the cavalry advancing in parallel, and the horizontal multi-column cavalry formation quickly pressed up with a rumbling battle song. Hearing Li Xian's order, the thousands of cavalrymen in the first few rows pulled out the cavalry bows in their hands, and then sent the feather arrows out. The cavalry bows in the hands of the soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion were far from being comparable to the inferior bows and arrows of the Juye Ze bandits, and it was not a problem to shoot two hundred steps along the wind feather arrows.
At the sound of an order, feathered arrows like flying locusts were thrown over, as if a dense hail had fallen from the sky, and smashed into the queue of Junozawa.
"Shoot!"
Li Xian shot the second arrow first, and at the same time let out a shout. Because the cavalry was too fast, the second round of feathered arrows was changed from projectile to flat fire. If the feather arrows that were thrown down like hail smashed down a lot of gaps in the dense crowd of the bandits in Junozawa, then the second round of flat arrows was like a huge scythe, knocking down the bandits in the front row like they were cutting wheat.
"Shoot!"
When Li Xian's shout sounded, he took the lead in firing arrows again, and following his arrows, the third round of feather arrows shot out and smashed towards the relatively weakest place in the defense of the Ju Ye Ze bandits. The dense feathered arrows that were fired were like a heavy fist, smashing the phalanx into pieces.
Zhang Jin said that he led people to squeeze forward desperately, trying to control the chaotic situation in front. But just when he rushed to the back of the Dingzi camp, he suddenly heard Gao Tianbao shouting.
"Run! The soldiers of the Great Sui are here! We can't stop it, let's run for our lives! ”
Immediately after, dozens of Gao Tianbao's personal soldiers also shouted loudly, Niu Jinda led people back to kill several soldiers of Ju Yeze, and shouted while killing people: "The cavalry is coming, don't get in the way, run quickly." ”
It's messed up, it's really messed up.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Gao Tianbao took his own soldiers and Niu Jinda to get on the war horse, and instead of running backwards, he rushed towards countless elite cavalry of the Great Sui.
"He's from the government!"
Zhang Jin said that his mind stiffened, and he seemed to see the person named Chen Sanqi. In an instant, Zhang Jin said that he understood what was going on, although he thought he wanted to understand, but it was actually wrong. At this time, he had already firmly believed that Gao Tianbao and that Chen Sanqi were both sent by the imperial court, otherwise how could they find out the situation outside Gao Jibo so easily? And why did Gao Tianbao strongly ask to cross the river first.
They have already colluded!
Zhang Jin said that he only felt that his eyes were dark, and his throat was sweet and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. He bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to come to his senses, and then his mind quickly calculated.
I still have more than 20,000 horses on the north bank, as long as I can withstand the first round of cavalry impact, I can take people back to the south bank, after the north bank is broken, there will definitely be no death, but there is no way, if you die, you will die, who called yourself someone else's pawn! I still have 20,000 soldiers on the south bank, and as long as I return to Zeri, I will still be the master of Junozawa!
"Come on, tell the six masters, let him put the officials and soldiers for a while! Tell him that my Yongzi battalion is behind him, and his men and horses can't bear it, so I will personally take the Yongzi battalion up! ”
The pro-soldiers hurriedly squeezed forward, squeezed through the cracks in the people, and found Liu Bai, the sixth master who was struggling to organize the soldiers to form a formation. After listening to Zhang Jincheng's order, a trace of sadness and anger flashed in Liu Bai's eyes, but he quickly covered it up.
"You go back and tell the big boss that as long as there is still a living brother in my Shanzi camp, I will escort the big boss to retreat to the south bank safely!"
When this sentence came back to Zhang Jincheng's ears, Zhang Jincheng was already retreating with people. That's right, he won't really take his most elite Yongzi battalion of Ju Yeze to die, Liu Bai will die if he dies, as long as he can block the cavalry of the official army for a while, then it will not die in vain. And the reason why there was a flash of sadness and anger in Liu Bai's eyes was because he was not a fool, and he knew from Zhang Jincheng's order that his Shanzi camp had been abandoned.
"Let me go to my death, and you will run away by yourself?"
Liu Bai turned around and glanced at Zhang Jincheng's back and smiled coldly.
"Brothers, follow me to the flank!"
He shouted, and then led the more than 4,000 people of the Shanzi battalion to the flank. As soon as his Shanzi battalion moved, the exposed gap was immediately filled by the rout of the Dingzi battalion, and soon, the footsteps of the rout caught up with the Yongzi battalion and Qian Lu's Yizi battalion who retreated to the river bank. The mountain bandits of Juyeze, according to the degree of elite, are the first worthy of the Yongzi Battalion under Zhang Jincheng, followed by Qian Lu's Yizi Battalion, and then it should be Liu Bai's Shanzi Battalion.
Liu Bai was originally a group of bandits who gathered people to rebel on Liangshan, but later saw that Zhang Jin said that his power was huge, so he took his men and horses to join him. Therefore, the soldiers and horses of the Shanzi Battalion carried out Liu Bai's orders very thoroughly, they were not pure Ju Yeze's men and horses, and their respect for Liu Bai was more important than Zhang Jincheng. It is precisely because of this that when Li Xian came with the cavalry to kill, Zhang Jin said that he sent Liu Bai's Shanzi battalion to the top.
Liu Bai knows this.
The rout of the Dingzi Battalion cried and shouted to his mother and ran back, first knocking the rear team of the Shanzi Battalion that broke through, and then slamming headlong into the rear team of the Yongzi Battalion. They crowded the men and horses of the Yongzi camp and ran to the shore, and knocked the Yizi camp closest to the shore into chaos. The bandits were completely devoid of formation, and they rushed to the shore like crazy to grab ships. Zhang Jin said that he led his own soldiers to kill more than a dozen defeated soldiers but could not stop them, so he had to run along the flow of people to the other side. Most of the boats that could cross the river were still loaded with soldiers from the south bank, and when they saw the officers and soldiers on the north bank killed, those boats turned around and went back.
There were few boats and many people, and all the bandits of Junozawa were silted up on the shore.
Zhang Jin said that when he turned around and saw Liu Bai's Shanzi camp breaking through to one side, he was immediately angry, but suddenly an idea moved in his mind, and he said in his heart why he was so stupid. He immediately ordered the Yongzi battalion to run east along the river bank and not to accumulate on the river bank. Then he shouted and let the boat row east to welcome him across the river. But before the boats in the river could react, Zhang Jin said that he suddenly found that the soldiers on the south bank were also in chaos.
On the south bank, the cavalry of the two official armies were killed along the river, one left and one right, and the number of people was not large, but the people on the south bank could not see clearly. The two cavalry were like pincers, and the bandits on the south bank were confused when they saw that the north was being raided by the official army, and suddenly the official cavalry came from their side, and they immediately panicked. There is no master on the South Shore! This is the most fundamental reason why the bandits panicked! The six masters have all crossed the river, and the nearly 20,000 horses on the south bank have no one to command at all!
……
……
Li Xian's men actually only had 2,000 cavalry, 3,000 men and horses crossed the Yellow River yesterday and set up an ambush on the south bank, 1,500 people led by iron fangs were ambushed on the left flank, and 1,500 men were ambushed on the right flank led by Dongfang Agni. Just waiting for the chaos on the north shore, they led their troops to kill.
Li Xian's 2,000 cavalry was in a horizontal formation, so it was impossible to see how many cavalry there were from the front. The previous day, he received information from the Flying Tiger secret spy and made an appointment with Niu Jinda on how to break the enemy. Because of Gao Tianbao's help, this battle was actually defeated before the men and horses of Ju Nozawa began.
The two thousand elite armored light cavalry were divided into countless squads by Li Xian, circling back and forth like falcons from behind, driving Ju Yeze's rout backwards while tearing off large pieces of flesh and blood one by one.
"Drive them into the river!"
Li Xian ordered loudly.
The horn sounded, and the cavalry began to speed up, and instead of directly chasing after the rout of Junozawa, they pulled back and forth behind the rout like a saw, and with each pull, they could cut off a layer of bloody minced meat. Countless squads of cavalry crossed back and forth and flew horizontally behind the rout, cleaning up the rout behind them like rakes.
There are countless people who have fallen into the water in the rout of Junozawa who have been driven away!
This time it's really over!
Zhang Jin said that he looked up to the sky and screamed sadly, and he actually gave birth to a little bit of death. He had already seen at this time that there were not many officers and cavalry who had been killed! But although the men and horses under his command are ten times that of the officers and soldiers, they are powerless to fight this part. The men and horses under his command have been completely messed up, and if they want to organize it, they will be reborn by Sun Wu and Wu Hou will not want to do it again.
"Big boss, let's go!"
Seeing that the cavalry of the official army was getting closer and closer, his personal soldiers said to Zhang Jincheng eagerly.
"Let's go?"
Zhang Jincheng pointed to the south bank of the Yellow River and said, "The men and horses on both sides are broken, where else can they go?" We can't go back to Junozawa, we can't go back! ”
Syllable!
Zhang Jin said that he was slapped so hard that he was even in a trance.
"It's not dead yet, big boss, you have to take your brothers out to kill! As long as your banner does not fall, we will be able to make a comeback sooner or later! ”
Zhang Jin said that he was beaten to his senses, and when he saw it, he saw that it was Qian Lu, the second in-law who had been honest in front of him.
"You're right, brother! As long as my Zhang Jincheng's banner does not fall, Lao Tzu will be able to make a comeback sooner or later! ”
Zhang Jin said that he was beaten but was rarely angry, but was beaten with the courage to live.
"Kill, kill along the river to the east."
Qian Lu shouted.
The Yongzi Battalion and the Yizi Battalion together had 16,700 people, and although they were chaotic by the rout, the soldiers subconsciously followed the banners of Zhang Jincheng and Qian Lu. When they saw that the flags of the big and second masters began to move east, they immediately followed.
Li Xian couldn't deal with it at this time, and more than 3,000 people from Liu Bai's Shanzi Battalion stood out and ran along the river to the west, while Zhang Jincheng and Qian Lu's men and horses had more than 10,000 people and ran to the east in a large group. Although Li Xian only had 2,000 elite horsemen in his hands, if he chased and killed Zhang Jincheng all the way along the river, he could not really kill him. But now Li Xian didn't have time to chase Zhang Jin, and although the Juyeze bandits in the south were also defeated, they still added up to tens of thousands of people! If these tens of thousands of people had run back to Junozawa, today's battle would have been completely meaningless.
"Order, let the Iron Fang Wolf and Dongfang lead people to drive the rout to the east, and let them run after Zhang Jincheng's banner! They must not be allowed to retreat in the direction of Junozawa! ”
Li Xian ordered loudly.
The horn sounded alternately, and the Iron Wolves on the south bank and Dongfang immediately changed their tactics, and they joined forces, used their speed to stop the bandits fleeing south, and then drove them along the river. When the bandits on the south bank saw that Zhang Jincheng's banner on the north bank was also running to the east, the crowd immediately followed along the river.
Li Xian saw that the south bank had become a trend, put his mind at ease, looked at the direction of Zhang Jincheng's banner, and immediately beckoned people to chase after him. The cavalry used their lances and horizontal knives to bring down Junozawa's routs one by one, leaving their backs to the enemy at the cost of losing their lives. Li Xian rushed forward with the cavalry several times, but was blocked by the crowded rout and could not get close to Zhang Jincheng, Li Xian, who took out his bow and arrows, aimed again and again, and finally gave up because the distance was too far and was completely out of range.
In this battle, the cavalry of the 5,000 Ruijin Battalion only suffered less than 200 casualties, but slaughtered more than 15,000 Juyeze thieves. Among them, five or six thousand people died in the water, killing each other, trampling, the number of cavalry directly killed was more than 4,000, and there were more than 5,000 prisoners of war, Li Xian ordered them to kneel on the bank of the Yellow River, all of them were beheaded!
These prisoners of war, if they wanted to be useless, were released, and soon they became bandits again.
More than 10,000 corpses fell on the banks of the Yellow River, staining the churning sand in the river.
