Chapter 123
Just when the Ming army began to prepare for the breakthrough, the news that the city of Ganzhou was cleared by the Ming army reached the ears of the outer blockers. The commander of the Obstruction Army was shocked, could it be that he was not surrounding the main force of the Ming army, but only a part of it? In this way, when the Ming army that captured Ganzhou turned back, it would become an encircled person.
As soon as he thought of this, the commander of the Obstruction Army immediately decided to settle the Ming army in the encirclement at any cost, and only in this way could the Obstruction Army gather and fight one-sidedly.
In an instant, the commanders of the two armies changed their strategies at the same time, and as a result, the originally quiet battlefield began to boil, and a major war was about to break out.
With the terrible sound of a trumpet, the soldiers of the Obstruction Army began to mount their horses. And the Ming army in the encirclement was not willing to be lonely, and they were also waiting for the day, ready to fight bloodily.
The soldiers of the Obstruction Army began to slowly approach the Ming army, waiting for an order to begin to speed up. And the Ming soldiers were already holding grenades in their left hands and pulling strings in their right hands, ready to throw them at any time. The atmosphere became more and more solemn, and the killing intent spread in all directions.
And at this moment, a different whistle sounded leisurely, and it seemed so abrupt in the silence of the battlefield.
Whether it was the blocking army or the Ming army of Yunyang, they were at a loss to know where the whistle came from and why.
The soldiers of the two armies casually began to look around.
But Yun Yang finally let out a long breath, Xu Shouren is here, and the special operations army is finally here.
Yun Yang immediately issued an order to break through to the northwest, and the soldiers of the Ming army were surprised, and they didn't know why they broke through to the northwest, because Ganzhou was in the northeast, but no one dared to disobey Yun Yang's majesty. The Ming soldiers were ordered to begin to attack in the northwest direction, blocking the depth of the Bu army.
The Obstruction Army was only slowly approaching, and the war horses had not had time to accelerate. And the Ming army charged on foot, and suddenly shortened the distance to which grenades could be thrown, so the Ming soldiers, who had been holding back for half the weather, frantically threw grenades at the enemy in front of them.
The air was littered with flying grenades, and the barrage made the already gray sky darken.
The violent explosion disrupted the offensive steps of the blocking army, causing a wave of confusion in the forward.
The Ming army took advantage of the situation to attack forward, but it was at this moment. The soldiers who came from both sides immediately filled the gap in front of the Ming army. Then the Ming army continued to drop bombs, and the cycle continued, and the Ming army relied on the power of grenades. I was stunned that on this crowded battlefield, I broke through to the northwest for a mile.
But it was only a mile, and the Ming army could no longer break forward, each grenade took the lives of several Obstruction Army, but more Obstruction Army soldiers filled in. The Ming army's front road was cut off.
The commander of the Obstruction Army gave a strict order. This Ming army must be annihilated, and the Bu army will not hesitate to stop the Yunyang Army.
The Ming army, which was blocked by the enemy, began to break through, often dozens of people, carrying more than a dozen grenades, rushed forward to detonate it, but in the wall-like blocking array, the explosion could not even involve a zhang away, and all the qiē were blocked and absorbed by the human body.
The battle raged to the point where the soldiers of both armies began to fall in pieces.
That's when it happened. The sound of horses' hooves began to be heard in the northwest, getting heavier and heavier. Closer and closer, faster and faster.
The sound of horses' hooves hit the ears of every soldier on the battlefield like the sound of death, and whether it was the Obstruction Army or the Ming Army, they all prayed in their hearts that this was their own cavalry.
The sound of horses' hooves like a drum can only be understood by one person on the battlefield, that is, Yun Yang, who has begun to twitch the corners of his mouth, and Yun Yang, who was born with a smiling face, is now smiling even brighter.
The sun was about to set, and in the twilight, the cavalry of the special operations army began to appear in the eyes of every soldier on the battlefield, and the shock was huge and complex.
The front line of the blocking army that blocked the charge of the Ming army like an iron wall began to loosen, even if it was a nomadic from the north with superb horsemanship, even if it was on a horse, but to resist a group of Central Plains cavalry that had been accelerated in a static posture was undoubtedly to death.
The Ming army facing each other will not give the Obstruction Army a chance to turn back and accelerate to meet the special operations army.
Yun Yang ordered to throw away all the grenades he carried, kill all the enemies in front of him, and bleed the blood on his body, which is called "three lights".
The soldiers of the Ming army, who had been surrounded for almost a day, had been holding their breath for most of the day, and the pain of not being able to fight back just by being beaten, only those who had experienced the situation could understand that there was no need for Yun Yang's order, and the Ming soldiers saw the arrival of reinforcements, and they had already launched another strong attack on the blocking army in front of them like a mad tiger.
This strong attack made the Obstruction Army no longer able to resist, the battle was fought with a kind of momentum, a kind of will, seeing that the Obstruction Army had lost the will to continue fighting, although it was still insisting, but as long as the special operations army began to contact, the collapse was imminent.
The commander of the Obstruction Army knew that if he continued to fight, the entire army would be annihilated, so he decisively ordered a retreat to the southeast.
As a result, the Divination Army, which was originally the encirclement party, quickly withdrew the Divination Army on the periphery of the encirclement, so that the Inner Circle Divination Army, which was fighting with the Ming Army, collapsed instantly, turned around and fled, and even didn't care about the knife cut from behind. And the Ming army was so easy to let the enemy in front of them flee and rush forward.
By the time the cavalry of the special warfare army rushed in, at least half of the Obstruction Army had already fled three miles to the southeast, while the other half had been intercepted by the Yunyang Division, and there was no hope of escape.
Yun Yang didn't have time to talk to Xu Shouren at all, so he immediately ordered Xu Shouren to lead the special combat army to continue the pursuit, and never let this army enter the three cities of Su, Gan, and Liang again, and harm the people. And he stayed behind to solve the obstruction and rout of the fleeing soldiers.
The two armies, one in front of the other, pursued and fled to the southeast. After fleeing for an hour, the Obstruction Army suddenly turned and fled north. Xu Shouren was alert that the enemy's target was Liangzhou, and urgently ordered the special operations army to chase after him overnight, and sent a messenger to Yunyang.
The cavalry of the Obstruction Army was superior to the Ming Army in terms of horses and horsemanship, and now as soon as they fled for their lives, they were naturally ahead of the Special Operations Army, and gradually the distance between the two armies began to widen, until the back of the Obstruction Army could no longer be seen in the field of vision.
Xu Shouren still keeps the special operations army in hot pursuit, he is not worried that this obstruction army will escape, Yun Yang sent someone to send a message to Xiang Xun, he is on the side, as long as Xiang Xun can go west to the south of Baiting Sea in time, even if this obstruction army plugs in its wings, it will not be able to escape the fate of the whole army, for Xu Shouren, the most important thing is to rush to Liangzhou as much as possible, in case this obstruction army occupies Liangzhou again, causing unnecessary losses to the people and the special operations army when attacking the city again.
In fact, Xu Shouren's guess was wrong, the Divination Army did not go back to loot Liangzhou, which had been ransacked once, they only passed by Liangzhou City from five miles from the west gate of Liangzhou City, and continued to the north, the goal was to go out of the Great Wall, to Baitinghai to rest, and then return to Divination.
