Chapter 268: Wanderer
Zhou Yu looked at the surging army, and the brows that had been constricted all this time finally relaxed.
As the sun set, a black line appeared on the northwestern skyline, and at the same time, a dull thunderous sound came through the ground. Zhou Yu was about to lead the army into the city, when he suddenly saw such a scene, he couldn't help but be stunned, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart. After looking closely, the black line soon turned into a black wave, surging and surging all over the mountains. Zhou Yu's eyes widened, and he hurriedly ordered: "All soldiers and horses are ready to fight!" At this moment, Zhou Yu didn't care about how the enemy suddenly appeared here.
The army that was originally preparing to enter the city hurriedly reorganized its formation on the spot and prepared to meet the onslaught of the opponent.
Half an hour later, an army of 100,000 rode horses and came to the front, leading the leading general, wearing a three-pronged purple and gold crown, wearing Tang Ni chain armor, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, and straddling the charcoal red rabbit horse, it was Zhang Lang. Following Zhang Lang was the most elite 100,000 Long Tao troops under his command. Everyone was dusty, with tired faces, and even the horses were a little sluggish, and it was evident that they had traveled day and night for a long time. How could they have arrived so quickly? It turned out that after Zhang Lang completely defeated the Karasuma people in Bingzhou, he captured more than 100,000 war horses, and obtained more than 80,000 war horses from the horse farm in the official camp of Bingzhou.
Zhang Lang ordered 20,000 turquoise cavalry to be on guard, and ordered the other armies to dismount and line up to prepare for battle.
The army of 100,000 was immediately busy.
Zhou Yu saw the opportunity and decisively ordered all the infantry to attack alive. Sun Jianjun shouted violently, surging towards Lu Bujun like a torrent of broken embankments, people and horses were like a tide, banners were surging, and the cold light penetrated the sky.
Zhang Lang squinted his eyes, and personally commanded 20,000 turquoise cavalry to meet the battle, and 20,000 turquoise cavalry held horse lances to raise smoke and dust in the sky and collided head-on with the enemy wave. In an instant, people shouted and neighed, swords and soldiers collided, and the soldiers on both sides fell off their horses one after another, the scene was extremely hot, and it felt like two huge waves suddenly colliding together, thrilling.
Zhang Lang took the lead, wielding the Fang Tian painting halberd with both hands, whether the enemy was a soldier or a general, no one could stop him, a red rabbit rode through the dust, the enemy soldiers fell one after another like harvested wheat, and he saw him alone in the middle of the enemy army to open a passage, the enemy army was shocked inexplicably.
Sun Jianjun's cavalry was no match for Long Tao's cavalry at all, and in just a moment's time, the cavalry led by Zhang Lang defeated Sun Jian's cavalry head-on, but Sun Jianjun's infantry wave surged up immediately. At this time, Zhang Lang's assault cavalry had lost their speed and fell into the tide of enemy soldiers, one by one they were hooked off by the opponent's hook and sickle, and some fell off their horses because the war horse was stabbed down by the other party.
Zhang Lang beheaded two enemy generals in a row, and then pulled the reins of his horse and shouted: "Retreat!" At this time, the main force of the Long Tao army has been completed, and the infantry battle formation is on both wings, but the Chinese army is an army formation composed of 20,000 armored iron cavalry, and the men and horses are all covered and heavily armored like a mountain peak.
Zhang Lang rode back to the Chinese army and turned the horse's head.
At this time, Zhou Yu's cavalry rushed up and launched an attack on the Long Tao army's military formation. Zhang Lang smiled coldly and raised Fang Tian's halberd. The two wings of the infantry army, the crossbowmen and the strong crossbowmen immediately prepared.
Nearly 10,000 cavalry troops approached quickly, surging, roaring like thunder, looking at the crazy faces, Zhang Lang couldn't help but feel some admiration.
The Fang Tian painting halberd in Zhang Lang's hand was pressed down violently, and when the infantry formation was neutral, ten thousand arrows were fired together, and the dense arrow rain covered the sky and the sun like flying locusts, and in the blink of an eye, the enemy cavalry who was rushing towards him turned on his back, just like the turbulent waves suddenly appeared countless ripples. However, the strong crossbow only had time to shoot once, and the wave of enemy cavalry quickly came to a very close distance, and the crossbowmen immediately sent out a dense rain of arrows, and the wind-like rain of arrows caused great losses to the enemy cavalry! However, this did not stop the enemy charge!
The wave of enemy troops fiercely crashed into the infantry defensive line, and the violent impact rumbled out, like a storm crashing on the shore, countless cavalry fell to the ground suddenly, and the subsequent cavalry slammed into it without hesitation! The defensive front was hit by the opponent's strong impact in many places, and the tower shield hand tried his best to resist, and some cavalry knocked through the tower shield hand and leaked in, but was soon cut to the ground by the horse slasher in the formation!
The speed of the enemy's impact finally disappeared, and nearly 10,000 cavalry were huddled together. The shield front immediately separated, and tens of thousands of horse-chopping swordsmen roared and killed like the enemy's soldiers, only to see the horse-chopping long knives flying like snow waves, Sun Jianjun's cavalry was cut to the ground one by one, and Sun Jianjun's cavalry fought hard, but the opponent was heavily armoured, and their long knives could only stir up some sparks when they hit it! The horse chopping knife hands are lined up to break into the wall, and the more than two-meter-long horse chopping knife in his hand is like the sickle of a harvester constantly harvesting life, Sun Jianjun's cavalry is brave, but in front of him, this kind of war machine that is heavily armored to the teeth seems powerless! In the screams one after another, there were more and more corpses of people and horses on the ground, and the blood stained this grass all red!
The cavalry of the Long Tao army outflanked from both wings, and at this time, the cavalry of Sun Jian's army was on the verge of collapse, and it collapsed in an instant under the impact of the cavalry! The remnants of the defeated army will retreat to the east!
At this time, Zhou Yu had already led the main force to retreat. It turned out that he ordered 10,000 cavalry to make a decisive charge in order to buy time for the army to retreat, and although the losses were heavy, he succeeded.
Yan Xing rode his horse and rushed to Zhang Lang, and said excitedly: "General, chase it!" ”
Zhang Lang looked at the retreating army in the east of the sky, frowned and shook his head, "Don't chase anymore!" Command the army and enter the city at once. "No."
Zhang Lang didn't want to pursue, but he couldn't pursue, firstly, when the enemy retreated, he was not in order, and secondly, Long Tao's army had been on the road for so long day and night, and there was not much strength to chase the enemy at all, and he was afraid that the rash pursuit would outweigh the losses!
The army marched into the city of Hanzhong, which was full of corpses. Zhuge Liang and others led more than 10,000 remnants of soldiers to greet them. Zhang Lang hurriedly dismounted, helped Zhuge Liang up, and saw that this sergeant was also wearing armor with blood stains, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and patted him on the shoulder, "Hard work!" Zhuge Liang shook his head.
Zhang Lang didn't see Wu Yi, and hurriedly asked, "Where is General Wu?" ”
"General Wu was seriously injured in the battle and is recuperating in the palace." Zhang Lang hurriedly ran towards the mansion. saw Wu Yi lying on the bed covered in bandages. When Wu Yi saw Zhang Lang, he became excited and wanted to sit up, but Zhang Lang hurriedly came to the side of the bed and held him down: "Don't move!" Wu Yi said with great sadness: "General, the Pingnan Army is almost over!" ......" then began to cry.
