Chapter 138: The First Battle of the Recruits
"Hatred is crazy, the long knife is directed, how many siblings are loyal to the soul! Why not die to repay your family and country? I couldn't bear to sigh, but I was even more speechless, and my eyes were full ......of blood and tears. ”
The neat and loud military song echoed in the sky, and under the early spring sun, on the snow-capped wilderness, the Sui army of Qiaojun was lined up in a neat formation, advancing with a strict battle lineup. At the forefront were the hoplites of the four regiments led by Ma Sanbao, all dressed in brand-new infantry iron armor, and were the main force of the Sui army in Qiaojun; It was followed by six regiments of light infantry led by Zhu Cang and Zhang Di, all of whom had changed into brand new uniforms and strode forward with bright banners; The archery team led by Li Yi walked last, and more than 120 archers drawn from the ranks of veterans of the New Army, each holding a two-stone longbow in their hands, carrying a rattan quiver, with a solemn expression, and white feathered arrows constantly beating slightly in the quiver.
Chen Yingliang, who was in white robe and silver armor, rode a tall white horse that was extremely forced, and walked at the forefront of the team with great ambition, followed by Qian Xiangmin, a full-time diplomatic liar, on the left, and Yun Da Shaoqing, who was also fully armored, on the right - after the old thing heard the news of the fire of the people's army, he knew that the Sui army was victorious, so he wanted to follow Chen Yingliang to the battlefield to observe and learn, so that he could take over the position of General Zuo Yuwei in the future - from this point of view, Yun Da Shaoqing can still get to this position after the big up, it is indeed not just a flukeAt least I know that continuous learning and accumulation of experience is much better than many modern excellent public servants.
This team is the biggest capital that Chen Yingliang can come up with at present, if he unfortunately loses everything, Chen Yingliang wants to make a comeback, I really don't know what year and month he will have to wait. After most of the night's internal strife and fire, the team of the Mutant People's Army not only suffered a heavy blow in terms of overall strength, but also their morale and body fell to the lowest point, and they didn't even have time to reorganize the queue and meet Chen Yingliang's attacking team in a strict formation.
Hearing the neat military song of the Sui army, and seeing the Sui army marching forward in a strict formation, the faces of countless soldiers of the mutant army turned pale, and the little thieves led by Wang Dazi and Xia Dazhu were all like ashes, and quickly ordered the team to move closer to themselves, ready to assemble and slip away, Fu Gongyi looked desperate, Du Fuwei's face was blue and black, and he ordered with a blue face for a while: "Decree Wang Xiongdan, Ximen Junyi, let them lead the men and horses of the headquarters to meet the battle and block the official army." The other teams continue to besiege Miao Haichao and kill this traitor first. ”
Du Fuwei's orders were quickly executed, Wang Xiongdan and Ximen Junyi, the two right-hand men, quickly led the army westward to prevent Chen Yingliang from marching to buy time for the main force to annihilate Miao Haichao, but what made Du Fuwei angry was that Wang Xiongdan and Ximen Junyi were very loyal to carry out the order, but the soldiers under their command were more unreliable than one by one, not to mention shouting and charging when moving westward, even the speed of the normal march could not be reached, running slower than one another, and the sound of shouting and killing was weaker than one another. Many people were still looking to the left and right with pale faces, looking for directions and roads to escape.
And Miao Haichao's side, seeing the appearance of the officers and soldiers, the Miao Haichao team, which was already completely desperate, suddenly broke out into earth-shattering cheers, and the morale and fighting spirit that had fallen to the extreme level also returned to its peak state, all of them were like chicken blood, blood red eyes desperately slashed and counterattacked, and the mouth shouted endlessly, Miao Haichao kept yelling in the team, "Brothers, resist!" Resist me! Hold on, I'll take you to Chen Tongshou! I'll take you to Chen Tongshou! ”
In front of the Miao Haichao team that re-erupted with vigorous combat effectiveness, Du Fuwei's dream of quickly annihilating the remnants of Miao Haichao naturally came to naught, and the situation on the other side was even worse, when the already exhausted Wang Xiongdan and Ximen Junyi's team met the Sui army team head-on, Chen Yingliang and Yun Dingxing and others stopped at the horse, followed by the Sui army hoplites shouted forward, wielding high-quality horizontal knives and spears to catch the enemy, and launched the first frontal battle with the enemy since the formation of the army.
There is no suspense about the outcome of the battle, almost armed to the teeth, the heavy infantry of the Sui army, relying on sophisticated equipment, can rest assured that they can boldly pick up their knives and bayonets, and focus most of their attention on killing the enemy, and the soldiers of the mutant army who are only wearing tattered clothes must be careful to dodge the official saber and gun, and at the same time, it is difficult to hurt the officers and soldiers wearing iron armor with tattered horizontal knives and simple spears in their hands.
The dense rain of arrows roared in the sky and drew countless arcs of beautiful seconds, along the parabola over the head of the Sui army, spinning and falling into the ranks of the mutant army behind, the thin armor on the soldiers of the mutant army could not resist the piercing of these good wolf tooth arrows, and they were shot in the chest by the feather arrows one after another, screaming and falling in a pool of blood, and many soldiers were directly pierced through the body by the feather arrows, and the blood rushed back and forth and nailed to the ground, and the death was even more miserable.
The second round of arrow rain came, more soldiers of the mutant army wailed and fell to the ground, and the rear team that was taken care of by the bow and arrow was also in chaos, many soldiers fled in all directions with screams, holding their heads and running for their lives, although Wang Xiongdan and Ximen Junyi tried their best to stop it, but there were too many deserters, and they couldn't restrain it at all, and then the soldiers of the mutant army in front also fled, and the officers and heavy infantry drove straight forward, slashing and killing the fleeing enemy, Wang Xiongdan and Ximen Junyi saw that the defeat was decided, so they did not insist, and immediately led the team that could still be restrained to flee backwards, After only a few moments of fighting, the mutant army sent by Duvowe to intercept and block the attack had already collapsed.
The ranks of the mutant army on the battlefield of the camp began to be in chaos, although they still had almost ten times the strength of the official army, but their most elite soldiers had already suffered heavy losses in the previous fire, and the remaining soldiers were also mostly wounded, their bodies were greatly reduced, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. Although the remaining auxiliaries and civilians were numerous, they were poorly equipped, and their morale and fighting spirit were even lower.
The morale of Miao Haichao's team was more vigorous, seeing that there was hope of survival, the surrounded Miao Haichao team not only killed the enemy and retreated, but also directly attacked Du Fuwei's flag formation very frantically, constantly shouting the slogan of capturing Du Fuwei alive, and was determined to take Du Fuwei's head as a meeting gift for surrendering Chen Yingliang, Du Fuwei's main force was forced to resist and could not put all its forces into the frontal battlefield.
Du Fuwei did not think about retreating eastward immediately, but Du Fuwei, who already had a lot of battlefield experience, knew very well that once he ordered a retreat, the demoralized self-army team would immediately collapse, and then the Sui army team could chase his ass like a duck and easily slash and kill, and a large number of soldiers would also take the opportunity to flee from their own team alone, the losses would be even more heavy, and their situation would be more dangerous, so Du Fuwei had no choice. He could only grit his teeth and give the order to meet the battle with all his might, hoping to retreat a little bit from the small number of officers and soldiers, and then calmly flee for his life.
Du Fuwei soon began to regret his decision, with the addition of the official army to the battlefield, his team soon fell into the dilemma of fighting on two sides, the front was the heavy impact of the heavy infantry of the Sui army, and behind it was the red-eyed Miao Haichao team rushed and beat violently, and the front and back were in a hurry at the same time, and there were feather arrows on the head that kept falling, killing Du Fuwei's main descendant team crying wolf and howling, and the corpses were all over the field.
Originally, Du Fuwei also wanted to count on the friendly team to impact the flank of the Sui army and share some positive pressure for himself, but after the order was delivered, Du Fuwei was extremely angry to see that Wang Daji, who ranked third in the strength of the Mutant Army, was the first to run east with his team, and he was the first to evacuate the battlefield without righteousness. Immediately afterward, several thieves immediately led their team away, and ran faster and faster one by one, just like when they used to fight against the wind and grab the results.
Only another quite powerful Xia Da worm did not run, and took the team to the north in a roundabout way, there seemed to be signs of outflanking the official army according to the order, Du Fuwei was of course overjoyed when he saw this, and he also opened his mouth to praise a few words of Xia Da Worm's righteousness enough friends, but before the words of praise were finished, the herald who went to the herald had already rushed back, and reported with a crying voice: "King Yudu, the Xia leader said that he found that there seemed to be signs of official and military activity in the north, and he was afraid that the official army would attack our flank, so he took his team north to meet the enemy!" He also said, please rest assured, King Du, even if he fights until there is only one soldier left, he will defend the flank for us! ”
"These shameless dogs!" Du Fuwei beat his chest and scolded, and said in annoyance: "When Lao Tzu asked them to join the team, they should reorganize their team and kill all of them!" ”
No matter how much you regret desperately pulling people around but not reorganizing the team, it's useless, after a few big thieves take the lead, the rest of the little thieves in order to preserve their strength, all of them immediately pulled their teams to the east or south, leaving the Du Fuwei team that has been greatly injured to support it, the advantage of the crowd is not only greatly reduced, but the morale value is also surging downward, almost close to the bottom, and the morale of the Sui army and Miao Haichao's team is getting higher and higher, and the team is more fierce and strong.
Of course, Du Fuwei is not without the slightest chance, if he can quickly kill the remnants of Miao Haichao's team, then he can free up his hands to deal with the Sui army of Qianjun, which is still a new recruit, and may not have the strength to fight. However, the truth is very cruel, with the escape of the big and small thieves, there has been a huge loophole in the encirclement of Miao Haichao's team, Miao Haichao can not only kill the encirclement at any time, but also contain a large number of Du Fuwei's troops, Du Fuwei does not want to quickly kill Miao Haichao, it is difficult to quickly get rid of Miao Haichao's containment.
As the battle continued, the enemy continued to escape, and the self-army ranks continued to advance and the baptism of blood, the four regiments of Sui hoplites under Ma Sanbao had overcome the nervousness and fear of the first battle, and the confidence and courage accumulated little by little, and the courage and swiftness between the charges and kills became more and more fierce, not only defeating Du Fuwei's troops, but also beginning to try to attack the enemy's most dense Du Fuwei banner formation. Du Fuwei tried to divide his troops several times to copy the flanks of the Sui army's heavy infantry, but he was quickly repelled by the Sui army's heavy infantry ferociously wielding swords and guns, and did not receive the slightest restraining effect.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yingliang, who had retreated to the light infantry team to command the battle, was of course overjoyed, and Yun Da Shaoqing next to him was directly dancing with his eyebrows, and kept urging Chen Yingliang: "Big nephew, virtuous nephew, isn't it time to order a general attack?" Let our light infantry also go up and charge, and we should be able to win in one fell swoop. ”
"Don't rush, wait." Chen Yingliang replied like this every time, because first, Chen Yingliang did not have many cards to play in his hand, and he must leave the light infantry as a reserve, and second, Chen Yingliang hoped that the heavy infantry could get more actual combat training and become the trump card in his hands to break the enemy.
Chen Yingliang's wishful thinking did not last long, seeing that his main combat force was constantly being consumed, and there were still a large number of reserves on the official and military side, and the hope of victory was already very small, in order to preserve the strength to continue to jump, Du Fuwei finally made a difficult decision, ordered: "Mingjin, retreat to the east, and if you continue to fight, Lao Tzu's capital will be gone!" ”
"Wait!" Fu Gongqi drank the herald in time, and said to Du Fuwei: "Brother Du, we are already a tired army, but the official army still has thousands of fresh troops. In order to reduce our losses, we must leave behind a reliable army to contain the ranks of officers and soldiers for us and buy time for retreat. ”
Du Fuwei, who already had a lot of battlefield experience, nodded, looked left and right, and finally fixed his gaze on the most reliable Kan Liang, and asked, "Kan Liang, would you like to lead a thousand troops to our royal palace?" ”
"Godfather, please rest assured, my son will definitely block the pursuers for you." Kan Liang replied with his fists clenched.
"Then please." Du Fuwei nodded, and commanded again, "Come back alive, it doesn't matter if the army is gone, you yourself will come back alive for me." ”
After quickly arranging the affairs of the palace, the golden gong sounded, and the Du Fuwei team, which still had six or seven thousand people, began to retreat, and at the same time, Chen Yingliang decisively issued a general attack order, personally led the light infantry to launch a pursuit, and a battle of escape and hunting began. The army of the people, which was still outnumbered, retreated eastward like a tide, and the few and elite officers and soldiers of the county were like dragons going out to sea, uniting under Chen Yingliang's handsome banner, rushing straight to the enemy group, and the shouts shook the sky and the earth, and the momentum was unparalleled.
The 1,000 army led by Kan Liang blocked the pursuit of the Sui army's heavy infantry, and tried to divide the troops to contain the pursuit of the Sui army's light infantry, as a result, the two regiments sent by Kan Liang also played a more or less role, in the case of insufficient troops, Chen Yingliang did not dare to let the new army team divide the troops to pursue, and chose to order the enemy to be defeated and then pursued with all his strength, as a result, after taking two pillars of time, although Zhu Cang, who took the lead, successfully shot the enemy's leading general, the two regiments of the enemy quickly collapsed, and were quickly cut down by the Sui army. However, the main force led by Du Fuwei still took the opportunity to open up the distance from the light infantry of the Sui army.
Finally seized such an opportunity to let the army exercise, of course Chen Yingliang would not give up lightly, and personally led the light infantry team to chase seven or eight miles away, taking advantage of the situation to hack to death and wound a large number of soldiers of the Changing People's Army, and successfully made almost every soldier stained with blood and touched blood, but what puzzled Chen Yingliang was that the heavy infantry team led by Ma Sanbao was far superior to the other party and had an archery team to help in the battle. Seeing that Du Fuwei's brigade never collapsed, and still tried to follow Du Fuwei's commander's banner, in the case of insufficient troops, Chen Yingliang decisively ordered Ming Jin to let the light infantry team stop the pursuit and reorganize the team.
The great demon king Zhu Cang, who was killing sexually, ran back and asked Chen Yingliang why he stopped pursuing, Yun Da Shaoqing also asked the same question, Chen Yingliang said very calmly: "We have few soldiers, and we don't have much experience, the enemy is defeated but not defeated, retreat but not disperse, it is enough to prove that the enemy's commander is still effectively controlling the army, and Ma Sanbao has not caught up, once we pursue too far, the front and back are disjointed, it is possible to turn victory into defeat, it is better to accept it when it is good, and grasp the results in your hand." ”
Yun Da Shaoqing, who was learning to fight, nodded, keeping Chen Yingliang's words firmly in mind, Zhu Cang was a little unconvinced but did not dare to refute, at this time, the scout sent to investigate the situation in the rear also rushed back to Chen Yingliang, bringing back the news that Ma Sanbao was still fighting fiercely with the enemy, Chen Yingliang was surprised when he heard the news, and immediately ordered to return to the main battlefield of the division and come back to check the situation in person.
Hurriedly returned to the main battlefield to take a look, the situation was really as reported by the scouts, although the Sui army's heavy infantry had surrounded the team behind the palace of the people who were only more than 100 people left, and Miao Haichao's team was also helping the Sui army team to surround and beat the enemy, Du Fuwei's army behind the palace was still desperately resisting. Chen Yingliang was even more surprised when he saw this, so he resolutely ordered the slogan of surrender and not killing to shake and blow the enemy's will to fight.
Miao Haichao ran to Chen Yingliang and knelt down to ask for surrender, Chen Yingliang put his hands on his hands, comforted him with kind words, and promised to accept the surrender of Miao Haichao's remnants. At the same time, after the soldiers of the Sui army shouted the slogan of surrender and not killing, there were indeed many soldiers of the mutant army who saw that there was no hope of breaking through and threw down their weapons and knelt down to surrender, but Kan Liang, who was holding a long knife in his hand, still led twenty or thirty people to fight endlessly, and also showed that he was brave and unstoppable, so that many Sui heavy infantry wearing iron armor were killed and wounded under his sword.
Chen Yingliang had never seen Kan Liang, of course, he hurriedly asked Miao Haichao about his identity, Miao Haichao truthfully introduced Kan Liang's name and identity, and said: "I heard that this Kan Liang is a native of Linji in Qi County, and he defected to him when Du Fuwei raised his troops, and he is the most powerful general under Du Fuwei. ”
"Slap the slap! Mo knife! The famous Datang Mo knife! The nemesis of the nomadic cavalry! Chen Yingliang scolded a dirty word in his stomach, and then became greedy, and said in his heart: "Lao Tzu's command, but there is a shortage of such a person who is good at using the Mo knife, seeing that this guy is so tenacious, he must be a loyal and reliable person, if he can get him over, he can not only have a reliable general, but also train an infantry with a Mo knife, specializing in restraining the enemy cavalry, one stone!" ”
