Chapter 719: This battle is a decisive battle
One by one, the battalions were pulled out and formed on the plains. 1 - Huge and neat steel phalanxes were formed in an instant, covering the entire plain of Black Stone Beach. The Wei heralds rode between the phalanxes and shouted, "Ready! The Wei infantry raised their spears in unison, and the top of the phalanx was covered with a cold flash of steel.
Wang Bodang, Meng Haigong, Xu Yuanlang, and Xie Yingdeng each led a cavalry, commanding the cavalry to mount their horses one after another, and on both wings as a reserve for counter-attack, rows of raised spears and horizontal knives were as bright as snow, like a dazzling band of light, and the dust fell on the helmets and shoulders of the cavalrymen.
There was a thunderous sound of hooves, and the earth shook slightly. The black-pressed cavalry group is rapidly approaching, like waves, like a tsunami, the outline like clouds and fog, and it is becoming clearer and clearer, the black-pressed formation, holding long knives and guns, and the dust splashed by thousands of horses' hooves, flying all over the sky, that might, as if the whole army is stepping on a cloud, flying on the ground! Just like the demon that appeared in the legendary hell, he rode the clouds and swallowed all the people and things that dared to stand in its way!
"Hold your ground!" Liu Heimin, the infantry general of the former army, roared, and the herald rushed over and shouted: "First row, squat!" The soldiers rested the poles of their spears on the ground, pointed their spears forward, and bent down to meet the enemy. The officers shouted in their ears: "If you don't want to die, cheer up, if you have enough seeds, as long as you don't die, you will be promoted and make a fortune today!" ”
"Hold your ground!" The herald gave the order again. The soldiers who obeyed the orders nailed their feet to the ground even more firmly, clenched their spears tightly, and everyone's hearts were pounding. After more than ten days of melee fighting with the Jianghuai platoon and lance soldiers, the Wei army basically learned the dense infantry formation of the Jianghuai platoon and lance soldiers. Although the Wei army did not have the more than two zhang long lances of the Jianghuai platoon soldiers, nor did they have their iron shields and double-layer armor. But countless dense spears were set up in front, and they also formed an extremely fierce spear array.
Facing the rushing cavalry group, the teeth of the soldiers in the front row involuntarily made a "gurgling" sound, and their faces turned pale. At the back of the phalanx, the overseers formed by Li Mi's personal guards were already carrying horizontal swords, pulling out their bows and arrows in a row, and the bright arrows were aimed at the backs of the soldiers in front.
The cavalry group is closing in at an unbelievably high speed! In the blink of an eye, get closer! You can see it, the cloud-like banners, the dense swords and guns, the hideous faces of the cavalry, the white gas spewed out of the nostrils of the horses, the soldiers and horses galloping forward, like a storm, like a raging hurricane, swept in a dense formation, thousands of surging!
The wind blew away a cloud of smoke and dust, and Wei Bing's vision became clearer. Suddenly, a terrifying voice shouted in the phalanx: "Oh my God! That's not the JAC Army! That's the Hebei Army! All the phalanxes in the front were in chaos, and the soldiers shouted regardless of military discipline: "It's the Hebei Army!" The Hebei army is coming! "Oh my God, run, we're going to die!" One after another, the soldiers shouted with trembling voices, and even several people ran out of the queue, and the officers in front stopped them shouting: "Don't run!" Whoever runs will be killed! "Stop! Stop for Lao Tzu! ”
"Kill!" The expressionless officer waved his hand, and the guards began to shoot arrows, and the fleeing soldiers fell down screaming one by one, but there were more and more soldiers screaming in the front army, and the morale of the army became more and more unstable!
Li Junxian, a former army general, rode on a horse and shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid! This is the JAC army in disguise! Don't be afraid, get back in line! ……”
A huge shout suddenly burst into the sky, drowning out his words, "Long live the broken army." The Hebei light cavalry roared wildly, "Glory belongs to us" There is no longer any doubt, this is the battle cry of the most elite army under the command of Chen Pojun! …,
The earth is cracking, the sky is falling!
For Chen Pojun and the Liaodong Army and Hebei Army under his command, the Central Plains has long had their legends, and for them, Wei Bing has a fear from the deepest part of his heart! They will not forget that a few years ago, it was they who leveled Goguryeo in Liaodong and defeated the strong army in the northeast. The original broken military camp of 3,000 people finally swept the entire Liaodong, and the Goguryeo powerhouse, which had hundreds of thousands of troops and countless mountain fortresses, was completely wiped out. Legend has it that in the first battle of the Liaohe River that year, Chen Pojun and his Liaodong Army slaughtered nearly one million Goguryeo allied troops in the first battle, and the entire Liaohe River was blocked by the corpses of the allied troops. Legend has it that since then, all the fish in the Liao River have red eyes, red like blood.
Millions of Goguryeo people have been completely wiped out since then.
Chen Pojun, the reincarnation of the legendary god. The Hebei Army, the legendary god and ghost cavalry, they will breathe fire and eat people. Legend has it that they not only possess the fire and thunder of the sky, but also have a demon cavalry from hell and are invincible in night battles.
This fear from the heart reached a higher peak after the Wei army was defeated in successive battles at Luokou, especially after the Hebei army occupied Xingyang and other six counties in only a few days, and captured more than 200,000 soldiers and horses.
The defeat in the melee with the Jianghuai army only made the Wei army a little defeated, but the fierce record of the Hebei army made this army, which had been defeated repeatedly and had a shadow in its heart, completely panicked. They didn't expect that what they were in front of them was only more than 10,000 Hebei cavalry, what they thought of was the 100,000 Jianghuai army that defeated them in a battle not far behind, and the Hebei army that was rumored to have swept through Xingyang and other six counties like falling leaves in the Mid-Autumn Festival and captured more than 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Wei State.
Many of the infantry phalanxes collapsed under the onslaught of the Hebei cavalry, and the soldiers, who no longer paid attention to the order, scrambled to drop their weapons and turned to flee. The scattered soldiers were like the water that opened the floodgates, like the waves of a river, and the crowds were surging, and they suddenly broke the supervising team behind. There was a clamor everywhere: "Run! Run! "It's dead!" People scattered and fled, trampling, squeezing, rolling, colliding, throwing white weapons to the ground, and discarded flags everywhere. In an instant, the array of the former army vanished and ceased to exist.
Li Mi held the long sword still dripping with the blood of the deserters, and stopped the useless shouting, at this time there was no more power to save the rout of the army. He quietly watched his 60,000 army rushing across the plain in front of him, watching groups of routs running in front of him, watching the Hebei cavalry laughing loudly behind them, driving away wantonly, and seeing the banners of the Wei army being trampled all over the ground.
Shame, before the confrontation, the 60,000-strong army collapsed without a fight! What is Luokoutan in comparison?
His disciple and confidant general Wang Bodang ran over panting: "King, the Hebei cavalry has been killed, let's quickly retreat!" Li Mi turned his head to look at him, silent, his gaze away from the battlefield of killing, and cast his gaze into the vast sky.
Wang Bodang thought that he had not heard, and repeated: "King, let's withdraw!" Stay in the ......"
"Blow the horn of the offensive charge, and the whole army will attack!" Li Mi's eyes were gloomy and his face was pale, and he glanced down at the letter in his left hand, and there was a rare resoluteness in his eyes. "Defeat after defeat, retreat and retreat, we have no way back. This battle is a decisive battle! We will fight to the death and never retreat! ”
Wang Bodang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Mi in confusion, "King Wei, at this time, we are still in a desperate situation, we still have two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and we can fight again in the future!" ”
"Pass the order, fight to the death, and never retreat!"
The order was conveyed, whispers rang out in the ranks, the soldiers exchanged heads, and everyone was passing on the words: "Fight to the death, never retreat!" No one knows why, but at this time, in the face of the fierce Hebei army, all the Wei troops rose to the desperate heart of jumping over the wall. The Wei army knew very well that the rout at this time was the target of the slaughter of the Hebei light cavalry. It's better to fight to the death, at least die happily. …,
However, this order seems to have come a little late. Before the Wei troops on the left flank could receive the order, their phalanx had already been trampled by the hooves of the Hebei cavalry, and the defeated left wing soldiers scattered and fled in panic. Qin Qiong led the cavalry of his headquarters to pursue the victory, and then charged with the Chinese army, and the battle was quite fierce. Qin Qiong and others unexpectedly found that the resistance of the Wei army was quite tenacious, and the Chinese army did not flee as quickly as the previous army. The Wei army in the middle firmly held its position, and put on the spirit of a deputy to compete with the Hebei army.
This surprised Qin Qiong and the others, but although Qin Qiong and the others received the order to drag Li Mi, for Qin Qiong and other fierce generals, a real and hard-fought battle was not what they were afraid of. With the orders of Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, and Luo Shixin, the Hebei light cavalry roared one after another, and the Hebei army was rampage, as if entering a no-man's land, they were striding forward, although the Wei army was already trying its best to resist, but tens of thousands of successive defeats The Wei army, which had long lost its sharpness, could not stop the impact of the 15,000 elite Hebei light cavalry.
The Hebei cavalry laughed wildly, brandishing the new swords of new equipment and slashing wildly, their impact arrows had already cut deep into the middle of the Wei army, and the momentum was like a red-hot knife cutting people through frozen lard. Under the back and forth of the Hebei cavalry, the soldiers and horses of the Wei army fell down one after another, like the wheat waves in autumn being harvested by farmers.
"King!" Liu Heimin rushed in front of Li Mi, "The Hebei cavalry is too fierce!" Their armor is strong, and their weapons are extremely sharp, and the brothers in front of them can't stand it, so give the order to withdraw! ”
Looking at the noisy and chaotic battlefield, Li Mi shook his head.
"King, this is not a war, this is suicide!"
"Hold on, our reinforcements are coming, and victory is at hand." Li Mi's face was pale, but his voice was surprisingly calm.
The generals looked at each other, where are the reinforcements? If you count on the 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yanshi City, even if they receive news from the battlefield, it is impossible for them to arrive so quickly for a while. What's more, the Hebei cavalry on the battlefield now is just the vanguard of the Hebei Army, and there are still 100,000 Jianghuai troops behind it, as well as the Hebei Army led by Chen Pojun and Li Jing.
Before they could express their doubts, a faint black shadow appeared on the northwest horizon, accompanied by a muffled sound like thunder coming from the sky, the sound of a large horse's hooves. The shadow was growing more and more obvious, and it was rapidly expanding, and it was already clear that this was a new army that had joined the battle, numerous in number, and all of them high-speed cavalry!
