Chapter 69: Left-hand Tactics

The night in the west is like paint, and occasionally two or three lanterns on the boat are shaking, which are not visible, and there seems to be no abnormal movement.

Just a short time later, another soldier from the eastern battalion came over on horseback to ask for instructions, before their own troops left the camp to outflank, the two sneak attack teams withdrew to the northeast, did they pursue?

Qian Wenfeng was taken aback, and sharply ordered the East Battalion to hold the battalion, and never attack without an order!

Qian Wenfeng was still not at ease with the western camp, and walked to the wall and looked westward. No, the ship's lights, which were still visible, were also extinguished, and the west became pitch black.

Qian Wenfeng motioned for everyone to be quiet and listen to the movements of the West. It was so quiet that there was hardly a sound coming from the West.

The more Qian Wenfeng thought about it, the more uneasy he became, turned around and grabbed a Duyu Marquis, and ordered him to rush to the shore of Taihu Lake immediately to carefully inspect the fleet and the Xida Camp for abnormalities.

When the Marquis of Du Yu turned around to leave, there was a sudden sound of an emergency alarm gong from the west, and many torches were lit on the two large ships leaning on the shore.

Seeing the warning signal, Qian Wenfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and urgently ordered the entire Chinese army battalion to be on alert, and the western battalion to rescue the fleet.

Soon, the West Battalion sent soldiers to report that a big ship had discovered that there were enemy water ghosts digging boats, and had sent their own water ghosts into the water to fight.

Qian Wenfeng breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and ordered the Chinese scouts to search and advance to the front of the camp to prevent the enemy from raiding the Chinese army.

Twelve scouts proceeded, past the fire in front of the camp, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Yesβ€”" Screams rang out one after another, and in an instant there was silence again.

Sure enough, there are enemy troops ahead! Qian Wenfeng's heart tightened and ordered everyone to enter the battle state.

However, after the twelve scouts never returned, there was a deathly silence in front of them.

Qian Wenfeng looked at the west uneasily, but the lake was quiet at this time, and the big ships were shaking their torches to show peace, so it seemed that the Jiangyin army was just harassing on the lake.

Qian Wenfeng, who breathed a sigh of relief, ordered the soldiers of the two capitals to leave the camp and push the fire forward.

Two hundred soldiers formed an impenetrable shield formation, and moved forward tremblingly. Arriving at the fire in front of the camp, a soldier turned away from the shield and reached for firewood.

"Whoosh"! A sharp arrow pierced through the air and landed exactly at the soldier's wrist. The soldier was in pain, shook his hands violently, but forgot to cover his body, and two sharp arrows that followed mercilessly pierced his throat and left hand, and the soldier convulsed a few times and fell to the fire, sparks burst from his hair and quickly spread throughout his body.

The frightened soldiers of both sides all stopped.

The head of the capital in the west had an idea, and ordered the shield array to continue to move forward, until it was moved to the front of the fire, and then he sent someone to draw firewood from behind the shield array and throw it forward. The soldiers on the east side immediately followed suit and began to move forward.

The match arced in the air, and just as it was about to fall, a sharp arrow struck, pierced the match, brought it back, and struck the top of the shield.

At the same time, a louder and stronger vibration sound came.

The head in the middle of the shield array was shocked, and he slammed one side of his face to the ground, listening intently.

"Retreat! Enemy cavalry! They all jumped up and ran backwards.

The shield array immediately went into disarray, and the soldiers rushed backwards, and they were bitten to the ground by the attacking arrows.

Qian Wenfeng's face had already changed, and the moment the shield array in front of him was withdrawn, he shouted loudly: "Close the camp gate!" Close! ”

A group of guards rushed forward to cover Qian Wenfeng's retreat in the middle of the formation.

"With the camp gate passage as the center, surround the enemy for me!" Qian Wenfeng hurriedly walked away in his robe, and at the same time did not forget to give instructions loudly to deal with the enemy.

When the soldiers of Liangdu who left the camp saw that the camp gate was about to close, they suddenly became desperate and rushed towards the camp gate with wild shouts.

Behind them, a row of five horses, five rows in a row of heavy armored cavalry, armor in black armor and clothes in black, rushed towards the camp gate like night devils. Everywhere the horse's hooves passed, the soldiers who were unfortunate enough to be touched were either knocked away, cut down, or trampled under the horses' hooves, and the screams came and went.

The fastest Wu Yue soldiers had already pounced on the rough wood of the camp gate, but the soldiers behind the camp gate had already evacuated in a hurry, and one soldier actually cried, hurriedly jumped on the wood, and quickly climbed to the top of the bar.

In the next moment, the soldier was hit by the Jiangyin army heavy cavalry in the front row at the same time with a battalion gate wood, and the whole person was broken together with the camp gate wood, and at the same time there was a loud "click" sound, and the soldier's screams that shattered his eardrums were not over, and the person was completely out of breath.

"Tom!"

"Tom!"

After the continuous muffled loud noise, the first two rows of Southern Tang heavy cavalry crashed into the camp gate one after another, and the thick rope between the trees of the camp gate, which could no longer bear it, broke first, and the thick logs flew into the sky one by one. By the time the third row of heavy armor rushed over, the camp gate had already been opened.

The last two rows of heavy cavalry immediately pulled the reins of their horses, tried their best to separate one left and one right, and rushed towards the Wu Yue soldiers on both sides of the spear forest, followed by the Southern Tang cavalry in the horse, at the gate of the camp divided into three ways, the cavalry on both sides respectively charged along the route of the heavy cavalry, and the cavalry in the middle followed the middle row of heavy cavalry and rushed straight towards the position of the central military tent.

The impact of the heavily armored cavalry in a fully equipped state was amazing, the horses collided with the shield array, the shield array collapsed, collided with the gun array, the spears flew wildly, collided with the soldiers, and the human body flew up, a scene of panicked horses.

A soldier in the middle of the middle row of heavy cavalry who was rushing wildly shouted: "Remove the breastplate!" He threw the large shield of his left hand behind his back, and the man leaned down, grabbed the cuirass of the horse with his right hand, and pulled the live buckle from the horse's neck with his left hand, and took the cuirass off, and the other four heavy cavalry did the same.

"All turn left!" The soldier in the middle yelled loudly as he yanked the reins to his left, and the painful horse struggled to move to his left.

The five heavily armored cavalry slowly drew a large arc and turned to the Wu Yue soldiers on the east side!

"Stop them! Shoot them down for me! Qian Wenfeng, who had retreated to a high platform of the Chinese army, was shocked and pointed in the direction of the heavy cavalry and shouted urgently.

Wu Yuezhong's army, which was originally lined up in several layers of shield arrays to meet the impact of the enemy's cavalry, was a little overwhelmed at once, and only a few archers found an opportunity to make a move, but Liao Liao's several arrows did not hurt those Southern Tang heavy cavalry and the light cavalry that accompanied the turn.

When they were about to collide with the Wu Yue soldiers on the east side, the heavy cavalry, who had been gathering momentum for a long time, followed the order of "throwing", and at the same time threw the horse cuirass that had been removed, and the cuirass rolled twice in the air, and successively collided with the Wu Yue soldiers who had no time to set up the shield array, smashing the already untidy queue even more chaotic.

The heavy cavalry, which was still full of momentum, slammed into Wu Yue's soldiers fiercely, and immediately rushed out of several bloody paths.

"Turn left! Left! The heavy cavalry continued to rotate to the left in obedience, bringing down a large number of Wu Yue soldiers, while the light cavalry that followed cut down and knocked the Wu Yue soldiers who had escaped the first wave of shock to the ground.

At this time, the Southern Tang cavalry on the west side of the battalion, which had slowed down the impact speed, also began to turn left, and gradually continued behind the left-hand cavalry in the center, and the deadly black whirlwind became thicker and stronger. The Southern Tang cavalry on the east side, which had been attacking in the southeast direction and had already rushed into the range of Wu Yue's camp tents, also began to slow down, and at the same time turned to the left, bypassed several camp tents, and stormed out again, merging into the arrow-shaped northward assault cavalry team.

The Southern Tang cavalry, which was supported, became even more violent, and the wind swept northward, quickly knocking all the obstacles in front of it away. The Wu Yue soldiers on the east side, who were completely out of array, were like headless flies, not knowing where to run in order to avoid the cavalry everywhere.

Qian Wenfeng was so angry that he let Liao Liao's hundreds of Southern Tang cavalry crisscross his military camp in a big circle, and the battle was too hot, and he immediately shouted: "Stop them, stop them!" ”

However, the Southern Tang cavalry at the front had already rushed to the gate of the camp again, and all the cavalry with heavy armor unloaded were in one place, and the impact was extremely amazing, how could they stop it? The horses' hooves sounded, and the cavalry quickly rushed out of the barracks.

Qian Wenfeng looked at his own soldiers who had fallen all over the place at the scene, and then looked at Liao Liao's more than ten remnants of the Southern Tang Dynasty and injured horses, and shouted loudly: "Chop the wounded soldiers of Xiao Tang into minced meat for me!" ”

The Wuyue soldiers, who were full of evil fire, rushed forward and cut the Southern Tang cavalry who were injured and fell to the ground into meat sauce.

Qian Wenfeng, who was angrily ordering his subordinates to tap the battle situation on the scene and reinstall the camp gate, suddenly reacted, and quickly looked in the direction of the east and west camps, and a cold sweat broke out in his heart, would Li Jingda take the opportunity to sneak attack the two battalions?
