Chapter 69: Engagement
Seeing Ji Ping fighting like this, Duan Xuan's army hesitated, but a cavalry of about 400 people suddenly rushed over.
Duan Xuan is different from Dong Zhuo's other faction generals, and most of his soldiers are Han Chinese from Guanzhong and Liangzhou, but the cavalry that rushed over was all Qianghu soldiers.
Is this cannon fodder for temptation? Or is Duan Xuan out of control?
Ji Ping didn't have time to care about it, but there were only more than 400 people, and he just needed a real deterrent, because he saw that with the attack of this Qiang Hu soldier, Duan Xuan's other departments were already in full array.
Obviously, if this group of Qianghu soldiers wins, I am afraid that Duan Xuan's army will attack immediately.
"Wen Yuan, together with Duan Jin, command the army to suppress the formation, Geng Zhong, Zhu Ao, and Pan Feng, lead the pro-guard battalion to attack with me!"
"Childe!" Zhang Liao exclaimed.
"It's an order!" Ji Ping said, threw the wine bottle, and touched Yin Muyue's forehead beside him: "Wait for me to come back." ”
He whistled, and the red rabbit horse came running from behind him.
Every time he saw such a majestic and spiritual famous horse, Ji Ping's heart was very happy, and he was arrogant, and immediately laughed, Fang Tian drew a halberd a little bit, and jumped on the red rabbit.
Behind him, Pan Feng and Zhu Ao, who were disguised as princes from all walks of life, carried weapons and followed closely.
Geng Zhong, who was guarding in front of the formation, snorted lightly, and the guard battalion quickly got on the horse to line up, this time he already had experience, the horse was slow, and the starting line was in front of the lord Ji Ping, so as not to have Ji Ping rush into the formation alone.
That's the shame of the Guards Battalion.
"Break the enemy!" Ji Ping waved his halberd and rushed out of the array with the guard battalion.
The Qianghu cavalry on the opposite side saw that there were also more than 500 cavalry on Ji Ping's side, roaring and roaring, and rushed over, obviously looking down on the cavalry of the Central Plains.
Looking at the Qianghu enemy generals and the four hundred cavalry who rushed over, Ji Ping's eyes narrowed again, his right hand clenched Fang Tian's halberd, and his left hand picked up the big shield hanging on the side of the horse, restraining the degree of the red rabbit horse, and keeping it in the same column as Geng Zhong and the personal guard battalion.
The two cavalry galloped in opposite directions, and in the blink of an eye, the distance was stretched to sixty paces, and the Qianghu cavalry on the opposite side shot arrows indiscriminately.
Ji Ping snorted coldly, Ping held a shield in his left hand, and blocked a few random arrows that came over, and Geng Zhong and the other guards did not hesitate to return fire with a strong crossbow.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
One after another crossbow arrows screamed out of the air, and the Qianghu soldiers on the opposite side suddenly fell.
The distance between the two sides has been stretched to twenty-five paces.
"Kill!"
Ji Ping shouted violently, threw the shield violently, and threw it at the enemy formation, and the two Qianghu cavalrymen were smashed off their horses.
Geng Zhong shouted with his own guards, each wielding a horse chopping knife, frantically killing the Qianghu cavalry, and the eunuchs were ruthless, which was more terrifying than ordinary people.
At the same time, Ji Ping shouted vigorously, kicked out with both feet, sat down hard, jumped on horseback, dodged the spear stabbed by the enemy general, and then controlled the man, Fang Tianhua Halberd waved violently, and the sharp halberd blade screamed through the air, and the Qiang Hu enemy general and the four soldiers around him were cut in two!
The courage of the soldiers, Ji Ping is so fierce, and the morale of the pro-guard battalion is even greater, and the strength has skyrocketed.
When the tens of thousands of soldiers watching the battle saw this scene, they couldn't help but boil with blood and shouted in unison: "King Shenwu!" King Shenwu! ”
Ji Ping's side, Geng Zhong, Pan Feng, and Zhu Ao, all of them were high in martial arts, and there was a blank in the middle of the enemy formation that could be killed in an instant with a few weapons.
It's just that as soon as the battle was engaged, the general was killed, more than half of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and they were intimidated by Ji Ping's bravery, and the Qianghu cavalry couldn't help but be in chaos.
Ji Ping swept left and right with a Fang Tian painting halberd, and the blockers were invincible, with Geng Zhong, Pan Feng, Zhu Ao and more than a dozen personal guards, like a sharp awl, the enemy formation was penetrated in a blink of an eye!
The red rabbit horse quickly dialed back, and killed from the back of the enemy formation, and formed a flanking attack with the front guard battalion, the front and rear were enemies, and there was no general command, the Qianghu cavalry couldn't help but tremble, lost the will to fight, and hurriedly fled to both sides.
Behind the enemy formation, Duan Xuan and his soldiers all looked pale.
Seeing that the Qianghu cavalry was scattered, Duan Xuan stiffly shouted: "Attack!" ”
He can now see that the traps in this land are indeed fake.
Duan Xuan's remaining more than 2,000 soldiers and horses marched together, and they fought against the Qiang, Hansui, and the kingdom in Liangzhou many times, although their morale fell greatly and they lost the advantage of cavalry running, but they were not afraid to fight.
At the same time, on Ji Ping's side, thousands of recruits were filled with righteous indignation when they saw Duan Xuan's army pressing towards the "Shenwu King" who was fighting alone, and I don't know who shouted: "Swear to follow the Shenwu King to the death, fight!" ”
"Fight! War! War! Tens of thousands of recruits roared at the same time, and the voices soared into the sky in waves.
Seeing that the morale was available, Zhang Liao was overjoyed and ordered: Beat the drums! Sortie!
He and Duan Jin rushed to the front with more than a thousand veterans, and began to charge with tens of thousands of recruits.
After Ji Ping's painstaking efforts to skillfully create the situation, now that thousands of recruits have retreated from fear, more anger and fighting spirit, Zhang Liao believes that as long as Ji Ping, the king of Shenwu and their veterans, do not retreat, thousands of recruits will not retreat.
Hearing the earth-shattering drum sound again, and seeing countless armies rushing over, Duan Xuan's face changed uncertainly, and in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the military power was reduced, except for the Battle of the Yellow Turban, there were very few battles in which more than 10,000 troops were invested in a battle.
Moreover, Fang Cai Ji Ping said that Dong Zhuo was dead, and the Kwantung princes had already entered the army, so there was no need for him to fight a senseless hard battle here.
If Dong Zhuo really died, this battle would have no meaning to him, and even if the Kwantung princes took over the Son of Heaven, he might be regarded as a thief.
Just when he was thinking this, Ji Ping, who had killed the Qianghu soldiers in the battlefield, also shouted: "Duan Xuan! Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the later general Yuan Shu has made a detour to the west to enter Wuguan to welcome the Son of Heaven, the Duan family is loyal to the martyrs, and Duer intends to rebel! ”
He knew that Duan Xuan in history was not so loyal to Dong Zhuo, especially after Dong Zhuo's death, Duan Xuan even attached himself to Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven and attacked Li Dao Guo Yan.
Sure enough, Duan Xuan heard Ji Ping's loud shouting, and he was even more hesitant, even the soldiers he accepted began to hesitate and commotion.
At this moment, behind Duan Xuan's army array, a group of men and horses appeared, rushed towards Duan Xuan's rear formation, and at the same time shouted in unison: "On the orders of the Son of Heaven, come to punish Dong Zhuo, why don't Duan Xuan descend early!" ”
"Gaishun?!"
Seeing this team, Ji Ping was overjoyed, and he knew the leading general, and it was Gai Shun who he first arranged to ambush Dong Zhuo in Xin'an!
"Simmer!"
Ji Ping roared and took the lead in charging with the guard battalion.
Gai Shun appeared at the most critical time, and now that they are fighting from both sides, Ji Ping doesn't believe that there is any chance for this simmer!
Over there, Duan Xuan saw his own front and back attack, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Cloth round array!" ”
The soldiers of each department moved according to the order of the flag, and the pikemen and shield soldiers were staggered, and they were arrayed in the outermost part of the line, divided into three columns, forming a circle of tight defense. Within the pikemen are the archers, drawing the bow and pulling the string. In the middle is the Chinese army, including the Golden Drum Banner, which carries out overall command.
The remaining 600 cavalry took cover on the perimeter, countering the circle of pikemen and archers.
The circular formation is a circular defensive formation, which is not suitable for attacking and raiding, but now facing front and rear attacks, Duan Xuan had to choose this formation, facing the enemy on all sides, and fighting to the end.
Seeing that Duan Xuan still did not surrender, Ji Ping's color changed slightly, and he shouted to the raiding guard battalion: "Divide the troops, I wish Ao to take the Flying Shadow Department to break the cavalry with me, and the Ghost Shadow Department surrounds the guerrillas and shoots the enemy with crossbow arrows!" ”
The personal guard battalion was divided into two parts, one followed Ji Ping to meet the enemy cavalry, and the other was under the leadership of Geng Zhong, with crossbow arrows and guerrilla formation.
"Ghost Shadow Department, Column Goose Formation!" Geng Zhong immediately ordered.
The geese marching array is a special tactic of crossbowmen, Geng Zhong has specially trained ghosts, and the formation is like a flock of geese flying, with the wings swinging out, and the advantage is to increase the density of crossbowmen's frontal long-range crossbow arrows.
The weakness of the wild goose marching array is that the charging ability is not good, if it encounters a cone formation, it is easy to break through the Chinese army, and the whole army is in chaos.
But now that Duan Xuan has adopted a circular defensive array, Geng Zhong has ordered the ghost shadow department of the pro-guard battalion to scatter with a wild goose marching array, which is the most appropriate.
At the same time, hundreds of Zhang Liao's subordinates in the back also rushed over, combined with Ji Ping, and rushed towards Duan Xuan's cavalry.
The fight begins again.
In the middle of the simmering circle, the scribe sighed: "General, come down." ”
Duan Xuan's face was hesitant, cloudy and uncertain.
The scribe hurriedly said: "Zhongming, there is an enemy behind you, Xin'an will definitely be lost, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo is really dead, today's battle is hopeless, why let the soldiers die, and ruin the reputation of my Duan family." ”
