Chapter 558: Equal
What does this glance mean? Mu Suiliu was very unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't attack at all, this is the case, the whole army was wiped out in the hands of Mu Chong, in a certain way, it was Mu Chong who achieved the Ming army.
Mu Suiliu had no choice but to say with a calm face: "General Yao, the left and right wings of the Ming army are about to rush up, see that this posture is to stop the waist and cut off our army, you don't have to be careless, if it really succeeds, I'm afraid the situation of our army is not good." ”
"Fuck it!" Bald Wenzhi looked in the direction of the Beifu Army, and couldn't help but scold with hatred: "What is Tan Daoji doing? Could it be that you have the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight? I haven't done my best so far, it's damn it! ”
It turned out that Tan Daoji saw that there was a cavalry of more than 10,000 people in a horizontal row marching at a medium speed, and he simply put on a posture to meet the battle, which could not be blamed on him, after all, on the one hand, he was restless, and he always felt that the cavalry led by Yao Xun was not the same as the cavalry following behind him, on the other hand, although the Beifu army was elite, it paid attention to planning and moving, and basically would not rush up from the source of hard work, and the Beifu army was based on infantry and chariots as the main combat method, and the cavalry was only used as an auxiliary. Most of the generals of the Beifu Army from Liu Yu and below did not have a strong sense of leading the troops to directly charge and kill with cavalry, not only could not be compared with the Hu people, but even compared with the Ming army.
In addition, Tan Daoji does have a trace of preemptive thoughts, if Hu Cai has the upper hand, he will lead the army to kill with a heart, but the reality is that Yao Huan's menacing 38,000 cavalry did not take advantage, and was actually held back by the Ming army's 4,000 cavalry. Then the Ming army can clean him up with his backhand, and at the same time he is quite hesitant to rescue, because although Xiang Mibu is covering up on the flank of Yao Huan's department, it can be clearly seen that he has not done his best, and most of his attention is on himself. I can't eat and walk around.
Arguably. With Yao Huan's strikers being resisted, the battle situation was in a relative balance, and Tan Daoji was unwilling to break this balance. On the one hand, he was worried that he would be killed by unknown cavalry and picked peaches. On the other hand. The key to breaking the balance lies with Yao Huan and not with him, and only when Yao Huan resists the three-sided siege of the Ming army can he have a chance to win. In this battle, Yao Huan is the main force, he is the auxiliary, he ventures into it, it will only make the more than 100,000 cavalry on the battlefield completely chaotic, in fact, the Beifu Army is the weakest of the three cavalry, the weak brigade, what I am afraid of is chaos, chaos will bring ruin!
Wei Feng fought against 68,000 troops with more than 50,000 troops, although the number was not superior, but his Xuanjia Heavenly Army was formed according to Li Shimin's standards, and it was the elite of the elite, especially the horses were fat, and the occasional friction was also the fall of the opponent's horses.
He Hu's subordinates came from the Helan Department, all of them experienced in a hundred battles, and they were not afraid of death, and the cavalry led by Xiang Mi was mainly based on the original Yan army, and the combat effectiveness of the Yan army was actually very strong, only because of the incompetence of the upper echelons that the Yan army could not please the Wei people, although the number of Wei Feng was small, but it was not left behind for the time being.
Frustration Qu Ji saw through the situation in front of him at a glance, and said slowly: "Tan Daoji must have discovered the traces of Liu Lijiti, for fear that he would be entangled too deeply with the Ming army, so that he could not get out, and Liu Lijiti was suddenly killed, and the Ming army had a pot, and his soldiers did not have the momentum of no return, and the crossbow cavalry of the Ming army may not be able to please him, Tan Daoji is an understanding person, but he can't complain about him, the key to victory or defeat lies here in our army." ”
Yao Xun nodded and shouted: "Order, the Xia army and the Southern Liang army will meet the Ming army on the right, the Wei army will meet the Ming army on the left, and our Qin army and the Northern Liang army will resist the Ming army in front!" ”
"Woo woo~~" The horn sounded sharply.
The fish scale array was broken into three pieces in an instant, the fish head and the first half of the fish chest did not move, still fighting with the Xuanjia Heavenly Army, the second half of the fish chest and the first half of the fish belly, that is, more than 10,000 horsemen of the Xia Army and the Southern Liang Army, rushed towards the He Hu Department, and the back half of the fish belly and the fish tail rushed towards Xiang Mibu!
He Hubu was not afraid, straight to meet up, and fought with the Xia army and the Nanliang army, the strength of these two forces is not much different, they are fish scales to fish scales, the battle is inseparable, Xiang Mi does not contact with the Wei people, because he also has to take care of Xian Enzhuo, and immediately led the department to turn the horse's head and swept towards Xian Enzhuo's department!
The Wei people did not dare to pursue deeply, for fear of falling into the siege of the crossbow cavalry, they reined in their horses' heads, raised their heads to Mi but a submarine dragon, and led the army straight to the flank of the Beifu army, he also saw that although the Beifu army was outnumbered, it was not sharp enough, and it was the weakest of the several cavalry!
The cavalry retracted the formation and rushed to kill, not by the number of people, but by a sharp spirit!
The crossbow cavalry took advantage of the opportunity of the Wei army's hesitation, and rushed forward, which is equivalent to the situation on the right battlefield adjusted one by one, Xian Enzhuo, who was originally playing a defensive counterattack, took the initiative to attack the Wei people, because among several cavalry, the Wei army had the smallest number, and at the same time, the crossbow cavalry of the Ming army had a psychological advantage over the Wei army, and the Wei people repeatedly suffered in the hands of the crossbow cavalry!
"Fuck it!" Tan Daoji scolded angrily: "The persimmon picked up the soft pinch, didn't it?" Outflanked by the whole army! ”
"Woo woo woo~~" The horn sounded, the Beifu army accelerated the speed of the horse, fan-shaped encirclement to Xiang Mibu, how can the Beifu army not work, after all, there are 30,000 troops, which is twice as much as Xiang Mibu, it is really surrounded and there is absolutely no good fruit to eat, Xiang Mi led the army to the periphery, and the cavalry on the flank seized the opportunity to hang the saber on the horseback, took out the bow and arrow and shot in the direction of the Beifu army!
Although they won't turn around and shoot back, it's no problem to shoot on both sides, whoosh, after a rain of arrows, hundreds of Beifu troops have fallen from their horses!
This can make Tan Daoji's throat smoke, but there is no way, his own cavalry is not as flexible as the Ming army.
In this kung fu, the crossbow cavalry raised the crossbow machine while running, and the raindrop-like short arrows splashed on the Wei people, the short arrows were much more powerful than the feather arrows, although the Wei people were in a tight formation, but under the three-sided shooting, there were still nearly a thousand horsemen planted to the ground!
It's also a pity that Xi Enzhuo didn't grasp the fighter plane and rush to kill, otherwise a few more times, the Wei army would collapse directly.
Yao Xun looked at the cold sweat, he didn't expect the Ming cavalry to be so fierce, hand-to-hand combat is not only not weaker than himself, but also the tactics are flexible and changeable, the tacit cooperation between the teams, and they actually grasp the initiative on the battlefield.
Holding the initiative does not mean that you have the upper hand, but if you can't get it back, sooner or later the morale of the army will be shaken.
Bald Wenzhi looked behind him and proposed: "General Yao, it is better to urgently summon Liu Liqi to come in advance, or you can win the game in one fell swoop." ”
Yao Xun hesitated: "Liu Liqi is still forty or fifty miles away, can he be summoned over in time?" An hour later, the Ming army's fleet should have arrived, not only did it not work, but its whereabouts were exposed in vain, and it could no longer be a surprise soldier. ”
The generals think about it, in fact, at this time, the loss is not large, at most three or two thousand more than the Ming army, but they are always unwilling, because in the proud pure cavalry engagement, they actually suffered some small losses.
Yao Xun thought for a while and ordered: "Please tell General Tan to hide your secrets in a hurry at this time, otherwise we will die and have no place to be buried!" ”
"Yes!" A personal entourage rushed to the end of the Beifu Army not far away.
After a while, perhaps Tan Daoji understood that the immortal battle was no longer possible, and the Beifu army relied on the large number of people, and the troops were divided into two routes, one way to join forces with the Wei army to wash the Enzhuo Department, and the other way to fight alone to the Mibu!
At this time, the situation on the battlefield has changed again, because Xian Enzhuo's department is a crossbow cavalry, which is suitable for long-range combat, and it is obviously inferior to hand-to-hand cavalry in close combat, but it is impossible for the Weifeng Department and He Hubu to rush to support for the time being, so they can only spread out in formation, dodge and shoot at the same time, and they themselves are also suffering heavy casualties!
On the contrary, Xiang Yabu alone against the Beifu army had the upper hand.
The battle was fierce, with a sergeant falling from his horse and dying at every moment, and it was a matter of perseverance, and whoever was the first to defeat one of the other side would be victorious.
Everyone was red-eyed, with only enemies and comrades in front of them, completely forgetting that time existed.
I don't know how long it took, "General Yao, look! Mu Suiliu suddenly pointed at the water in the distance, and everyone followed!
There are small black dots on the river, obviously the Ming fleet, the distance is about ten miles, it takes a moment to arrive, if their side has the upper hand, they can use this time difference to hit the Ming army hard, but the fact is that they are in a battle, and they are still slightly at a disadvantage.
Mu Suiliu glanced at Yao Xun and tried to say: "The reinforcements of the Ming army are coming, General Yao, it is better to collect the troops." ”
Yao Xun actually had the intention of retreating, but he still asked: "Our army has been entangled with the Ming army, if he takes advantage of the situation to chase and kill when he retreats, won't he be crushed?" ”
Mu Suiliu pondered: "The last general thinks that the Ming army does not have the heart to fight to the death, his main purpose is to prevent the Huailing army from crossing the river, and the death battle with our army is because it is entangled together and has to do it, so we retreat suddenly, he should not pursue, otherwise, he will fight with him to the death, or you can also lead him to Liu Liti and annihilate him in one fell swoop." ”
"Hmm~~" Yao Xun nodded and said, "Order, the whole army retreats." ”
"Woo woo woo ~ ~" The horn of the retreat sounded.
"Huh~~" Li Zhu stabbed a Qin soldier to death with one shot, turned his head and asked loudly: "King, can't you beat us and run away?" This is a great opportunity to chase after victory! ”
Brush Brush Brush! Wei Feng stabbed several enemies to death in a row, turned his head to look, although the enemy retreated, but not a bombardment of retreat, but a battle and retreat, obviously Hu Qi has rich experience in how to get out of the battlefield, and many of his own soldiers have been scarred, forced pursuit, maybe there is a possibility of losing both.
Wei Feng shook his head and said: "The dog is in a hurry and jumps off the wall, this is not the time for a decisive battle, and we don't know if there are other ambushes, if he is led to an ambush or the whole army is defeated, he wants to retreat, so he has to retreat." As he spoke, he said to the left and right: "Order, retreat!" (To be continued......)
