A junior colonel said quickly: "Once our army's two wings are too casualties, Luo Zheng will inevitably launch a fatal blow." The last general thought that when two teams of archers were mobilized to help the spearmen protect the two wings, they could suppress the attack of the Luo Zheng cavalry. ”
Duan Xuan was slightly silent, and then he broke off: "Order, transfer two teams of archers over!" ”
"Yes."
Some heralds responded loudly and quickly passed down military orders in flags.
Soon, the army stopped advancing, and the archers, who had been arrayed in the front and rear armies, immediately transferred a thousand men each, supplemented to the left and right flanks, and lined up behind the spearmen.
The army set out again, continuing to move slowly.
Two miles away, a hill is covered.
Luo Zheng and Jia Xu stood solemnly across their horses and were watching from afar.
"Duan Xuan has changed formations!"
Jia Xu took a breath and said in a condensed voice: "With the cooperation of the longbowmen, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our army to take advantage of it again." In order to prevent our army from attacking from the front, Duan Xuan arranged the remaining spearmen in the front except for the two wings, and in addition to the sword and shield soldiers in the rear formation, there were only 1,000 archers, and it was time for the heavy cavalry to assault. ”
Luo Zheng let out a heavy 'um' sound, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Order, heavy armored cavalry assault!" ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers were ordered to answer the order loudly, and the order was immediately passed down in the language of the flag.
Soon, a cavalry of more than 3,000 people circled around the rear of Duan Xuan's army, swinged out in a fan shape, and slowly pressed up.
Zhongjun, Duan Xuan looked back and stared a few times. I couldn't help but feel a shadow in my heart. Although the cavalry that went around the rear did not show any intention of attacking, it always made him feel uneasy.
"General, what does Luo Zheng want to do?"
Some of the little school looked puzzled. He asked with a puzzled expression.
Duan Xuan just wanted to shake his head, but suddenly remembered to carefully ask Yang Ding about the defeat. The cavalry who fled back described the details of the process, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and he shouted: "Stop, stop and line up on the spot, and prepare to meet the enemy." ”
"Uh, yes!!"
The herald was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly passed down the military order in flag.
At this moment, the desolate and passionate bull horn was already sounding in the rear of the army.
I saw that the more than 3,000 cavalry biting behind immediately began to accelerate. Among them, 500 cavalrymen, with their horses wrapped in black iron armor, broke away from their main formation and rushed straight to the rear of the army from the northwest corner.
By the time it was less than 100 paces away, it had already increased the running speed of the war horse to the limit.
The sword and shield soldiers and longbowmen who were protecting the rear stopped for the first time, and when they were in formation, the sword and shield soldiers raised their shields, trying to withstand the charge of the cavalry with their thin shields, and the archers opened their bows and arrows, and the longbows were already full like the moon.
At the same time, the spearmen and a thousand longbowmen guarding the left flank were also regrouped at the first time, because five hundred cavalry were assaulting from the north-western corner. The position was about where the sword and shield men in the rear and the spearmen on the left flank met.
Even ordinary soldiers could see the intentions of this cavalry at this moment.
That is, to completely separate the rear and the middle army, and then break through the rear army.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Seeing five hundred cavalry rush into eighty paces. The commander of the army did not hesitate any longer, and immediately yelled.
In an instant, a wave of black and oppressive arrow rain immediately swept up from the left corner of the rear formation and the rear formation of the left wing, and the archers who were lined up at the junction of the rear formation and the left wing released their arrows at the same time, and after thousands of arrows crossed a distance of dozens of zhang, they fiercely shot at the heads of the heavy armored cavalry who rushed over, making a clanging and crisp sound, but they did not even shoot over.
Such a result immediately made everyone's eyes widen in disbelief.
Duan Xuan, who was watching from the Chinese army, also turned pale. A heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
"Quick, get the baggage truck over and block it!"
Duan Xuan's forehead was full of green tendons. I couldn't care about my demeanor anymore, so I opened my voice and yelled.
"Yes."
Only then did the herald come to his senses. Hurriedly closed his mouth and quickly passed the military order in the language of the flag.
At this time, the five hundred heavily armored cavalry who were charging in a conical formation had already slammed into Duan Xuan's main formation, and from the position where the rear formation and the left flank were connected, they slammed into it, directly collapsing Duan Xuan's army formation.
The rear and left flanks were suddenly in chaos and almost collapsed.
The 500 heavy armored cavalry charged unabated, not seeking to kill the enemy, but only rushing forward in one go, and soon chaotic the formation of 2,000 sword and shield soldiers and 1,000 archers in Duan Xuan's rear formation, mixed into a pot of porridge.
The three thousand cavalry that followed also burst in fiercely, slashing and killing the chaotic Duan Xuan soldiers, the severed limbs and the heads splashed with blood flew up one after another, and the terrible screams were like sharp knives, stabbing Duan Xuan's heart fiercely, making Duan Xuan's face turn from blue to white, and then from white to red, and he couldn't help but squirt a mouthful of old blood.
From a distance, it was as if an oval-shaped flatbread had been cut off with a blunt knife, and the piece in the back was cracked into pieces, and if it continued to spread, it would inevitably affect the whole.
Five hundred heavily armored cavalry quickly rushed out from the place where the right flank and the rear of Duan Xuan's army converged.
The 3,000 cavalry continued to rush inside, preparing to cut through the rear formation in one fell swoop and break through Duan Xuan's army.
At this time, dozens of baggage carts were driven over, and they were blocked in a row, and the cavalry who rushed to the front collided with the baggage vehicles, and immediately a group of people turned over on their backs, and dozens of horses were stabbed over by the spearmen who pounced.
The sound of three long and one short horns rushed into the sky in an instant, and the momentum of the charge of the three thousand cavalry stopped for a moment.
"Withdraw!"
As soon as the commander of the army roared, the three thousand cavalry immediately turned their horses and fled away.
On the high post.
Luo Zheng said regretfully: "Duan Xuan is worthy of being a battle-hardened general, and his reaction is not slow at all, although he successfully broke through the rear formation, he failed to affect the two wings and the Chinese army. If General Ben had 2,000 heavily armored cavalry, he would be able to penetrate Duan Xuan's two wings and the Chinese army in one fell swoop, and there would be no need to work so hard. It's a pity, it's a pity! ”
Jia Xu said with a smile: "The confrontation between the two armies, the battle between the troops, mainly depends on how the generals transport the troops and deploy the formation, Duan Xuan is indeed not comparable to Yang Ding's young and vigorous stupidity." However, no matter how much Ren Duan struggling, it is difficult to change his disadvantages. As long as our army seizes the opportunity to keep bleeding Duan Xuan, within ten days at most, even if Duan Xuan can move the battalion to near the water source, the soldiers under his command will inevitably collapse because they can't withstand this endless pressure, and even if Sun Wu is resurrected, it will be difficult to return to the sky. ”
Luo Zheng nodded happily and said, "Let's go, it's almost noon, let's go and let the soldiers fill their stomachs first, let Yan Xing lead the three thousand cavalry to keep an eye on it first, and pounce on Duan Xuan to bleed some blood at every opportunity, don't let Duan Xuan's army have a chance to breathe."
