Chapter 16: The Battle (Part II)
(Nine thousand a day, I admire myself so much!) )
Maybe Wu Yuanqing himself is a general, not a handsome talent, so after the situation is clear, he can make a correct judgment. Compared with the sortie of 1,500 people and the attack of 10,000 rear troops, it was much more appropriate. In the end, these 1,500 people were the elite of a hundred battles, and they were full of physical strength, and as soon as they came up, the Zhaoyi army suffered a lot of losses, and the spear array was also broken through from both sides, and the situation of the Huaixi army, which was already tending to chaos, was stabilized again.
But after all, the main force of the official army has been pressed, and now only Wu Chongyin is left on the tower, Adie Guangyan has already gone down the tower and personally led the Chinese army to press, Zhaoyi's repulsed soldiers and horses saw the arrival of the commander, and they all went around from the left and right sides to the back of the formation to re-form the formation, and Cao Hua walked around Adie Guangyan with a ashamed face. Adie's face was full of approval.
Now, it's the tip of the needle.
Beside Ah Dieguangyan are his own personal soldiers and Wu Chongyin's personal soldiers, who are the elite selected from tens of thousands of troops, no worse than Wu Yuanqing's personal soldiers, and their physical strength is better preserved.
As soon as the handsome banner of Adie's glorious face appeared, the other nearby armies immediately sensibly developed to both sides, leaving the middle battlefield to the commander. A Die Guangyan opened his bow and set up an arrow, pulled the iron tire bow, and shot down the Huaixi Army's "Wu" character handsome flag standing on the dirt slope, and then took off the thick-backed knife, knocked the Huaixi warrior weapon that rushed towards him flying, and used the knife to pick up the person and throw it to the Huaixi Army.
What are you kidding, our manager was the first in the Beiyuan martial arts competition that year.
Such a stunning appearance naturally attracted Wu Yuanqing's attention. It seems that the meeting of the main generals of the two sides on the battlefield is a necessary form, Wu Yuanqing, who saw the banner of the "black" character, immediately turned his horse's head and led his own soldiers to kill Adie Guangyan, Adie Guangyan didn't care about others, led the army to meet him, and after killing a few people, Wu Yuanqing's Yongzhen knife and Adie Guangyan's thick-backed knife finally collided together.
What were the consequences of the collision of a carriage and a tank?
Wu Yuanqing didn't know, but Wu Yuanqing's tiger mouth was numb to his arm. Riding on the mistake of the two horses, Ah Die, who knew Wu Yuanqing's hypocrisy, stretched out his hand and wanted to capture the general immediately, but Wu Yuanqing saw through it, rolled off the horse, and withdrew a few steps, Wu Yuanqing shouted:
"Chief Wu, everyone is a feudal town, why kill them all?"
Adie smiled and said:
"Young Marshal Wu, a certain family is Ah Die, the head of the Jin Shang Dao march."
Hearing that the opposite side was the famous Hedong general Adie Guangyan, Wu Yuanqing wanted to die, but Wu Yuanqing still spoke:
"It turned out to be Mr. A. The manager is indeed brave, but the manager has ever heard that 'the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks; The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden'? General Wu Yong, my Huaixi is invincible, but once my Huaixi is destroyed, has the general ever thought that in the future, it is better for everyone to stop the army, and how about peace and quiet? I Huaixi will inevitably have a generous gift every year. ”
Before he finished speaking, Ah Die's face sneered:
"The turtle in the urn actually dares to rebel against the general, a certain family is here today to capture you!" said that he stepped forward immediately, and naturally Wu Yuanqing's personal soldiers desperately stopped Ah Die's Guangyan and rescued Wu Yuanqing. As soon as Wu Yuanqing got on a horse, Adie Guangyan chased after him again, and the soldiers on both sides got together after a slight mistake.
Although Wu Yuanqing escaped with his life, the fall of the main general and his escape had a great impact on the morale of the whole army, and the battle line in the middle was quickly pushed under the dirt slope, and the two sides were still constantly mobilizing troops in various parts of the battlefield, trying to form a local superiority in troops, but this point was easy for the officers and troops, and it was getting easier and easier, and it was very difficult for the Huaixi army, and it was becoming more and more difficult. The battlefield is centered on the soil slope in a semicircle and compresses inward. Wu Yuanqing, who was surrounded in the center of the battlefield, complained bitterly, looking forward to the appearance of Dong Chongzhi's strange soldiers.
Attentive readers may find that when introducing the arrangement of troops on both sides, it was introduced that the rear army of the official army fought under the banner of Wang Dahai, but now Wang Dahai has not appeared, where has Wang Dahai gone?
In a tent behind the tower, Li Chun was also asking Li Deyu:
"There's news from Wang Dahai's side."
Li Deyu's hand slid on the sand table, slid to the point of his own camp, and said:
"There's no movement here."
Then he crossed the Lu River, slid to the Huaixi Army camp, and said:
"The horse has returned, and the cavalry of Adie Guangyan has lurked here under the leadership of Wuguang."
The door of the Huaixi Army camp was closed, and Wuguang, who was dressed in civilian clothes, said to Song Chao, a general under the command of Adie Guangyan, who had just arrived:
"The two generals, the junior generals, have been observing here for two days. This morning, 30,000 men were sent from the camp to Xiaoluhe, and not long ago another 3,000 men were sent out (Wu Yuanqing transferred 1,000 more), and now although the battalion is full of flags and patrols, there are only about 2,000 troops among them, and they are all old and weak, and they can be broken with one drum. ”
When the Song Dynasty heard this, they praised Wuguang a few words, and then five thousand iron cavalry suddenly appeared outside the Huaixi army camp. The large camp of the Huaixi Army was built with an earthen wall, and the many years of victory experience made the soldiers in the camp extremely relaxed, and even the rejection of horses was so-so. When the 5,000 cavalry of the official army suddenly appeared on the road in front of the camp in the dim sky, the defenders thought that Dong Chongzhen's mule cavalry had returned. When the defenders in the camp found that it was the official army that appeared, the Huaixi army on the earthen wall was suddenly in chaos, and the sentry on the watchtower shouted:
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
but was shot down by an arrow. As soon as the panicked Huaixi army formed a formation under the drive of the officers, the rain of arrows flew over, and the Huaixi army behind the earthen wall fell in rows, and the Song Dynasty took the lead and kicked open the camp gate of the Huaixi army, and then the elite cavalry of Adie Guangyan began a one-sided massacre.
In less than a moment, the 2,000 defenders of the Huaixi Army were either dead or surrendered. The Song Dynasty immediately rushed to the front of the Huaixi grain camp, and said to the old and weak soldiers of Huaixi who knelt on the ground:
"The heavenly soldiers of the imperial court have arrived, and Huaixi will be flattened immediately. The Son of Heaven is benevolent, and he does not want to kill more evil, so he will let you go, and you can do your best to take food from the grain camp and bring it to your family. ”
The old and weak people in Huaixi still couldn't believe it when they heard this, and the Song Dynasty urged it again, only to get up tremblingly and move food, and at that time, there were veterans who knelt down in front of the Song Dynasty's horses, willing to serve the officials and soldiers, and were persuaded away by the Song Dynasty one by one.
The veterans scattered and fled, and the Song Dynasty ordered:
"Set fire, burn the camp!"
Wuguang had already received orders to rush to the official camp with 4,000 cavalry, and the remaining 1,000 cavalry galloped across the empty Huaixi camp, throwing torches into various tents. In a short time, a fire rose in the camp, and the light of the fire reflected the sky. The Song Dynasty was very satisfied with his results, and turned his horse and led a thousand cavalry to the direction of the official army camp.
As soon as the Song Dynasty left, there were Huaixi soldiers who had just escaped from behind the grain camp and entered the camp to grab food.
Deng Liujin, the guard of Yuncheng, looked at the fire in the camp and was dumbfounded!
Wu Yuanqing, who was surrounded on the dirt slope, looked at the fire in the direction of his camp, dumbfounded, and the Huaixi army was like ashes.
But the officers and soldiers on the battlefield were jubilant. Wang Pei excitedly reported the news to Li Chun, who immediately walked out of the tent and climbed the tower to lookout.
And in the official and military camp on the north bank of the river, the fierce battle has begun, and the muffled thunderous sounds sounded one after another, which shocked Li Chun's spirit.
Dong Chongzhen arrived outside the official camp with his 15,000 soldiers and horses at an early time. At the beginning, as he expected, there was no resistance from the official army, and the sentinels of the official army fled, which couldn't help but make Dong Chongzhi hesitant, and secretly thought that he would return to the Xiaolushui battlefield after the war, and he would try to catch one or two generals of the official army, so as to exchange for his brother-in-law. Before arriving at the camp, the Henan officials and soldiers guarding the camp really couldn't help, and closed the camp gate, and there were many rejection horses in front of the camp gate. Dong Chongzhi snorted coldly, the camp is much stronger than the previous two days, and he can't see the reality inside, but no matter how strong the camp is, can it play a role if it falls into the hands of the instigators?
Dong Chongzhen, who was originally worried about the stubborn resistance of the official army, now regrets bringing so many people here, and he already knew that he would leave 5,000 for Wu Yuanqing, the timid one. However, Dong Chongzhen was not worried, because he believed that no matter how bad Wu Yuanji was, he would be able to support him to go back to attack the official army, and he would soon be able to burn the official army's camp and go back.
The confident Dong Chongzhi brought the army to the camp gate with a stone's throw away, but the mutation still happened unexpectedly to Dong Chongzhen. Hundreds of Huaixi soldiers who rode horses or mules to the camp dismounted and moved away from the rejection of the horse, and after moving the rejection of the horse, the Huaixi officers and soldiers swaggered to open the camp gate, but before they reached the camp gate, the camp gate fell by itself. Not only did the camp gate fall, but also a large area of fence and wooden wall fell down.
Of course, this is not because there was already a tofu scum project in that era, in fact, if it were not for the war, many buildings of that era could have been preserved to modern times, and this large battalion could have been preserved for at least a few decades, and the reason why they suddenly collapsed was because there were people behind the wooden walls.
Dense people, dense rain of arrows.
A dense rain of arrows flew out of the camp, and hundreds of Huaixi soldiers were caught off guard, and before they could even scream, they were shot to death on the ground, along with their mules and horses, in front of the camp of the official army.
A large flag was erected in the battalion:
The general of the right military guard of the Tang Dynasty and the former soldier and horse envoy of the guard
Wang Dahai's arrogant laughter came from the army:
"Dong Chongzhen, this general has been waiting for you here for a long time, quickly dismount, no, get off the mule and die!"
In front of Dong Chongzhen, there were guards densely embroidered with leopard print uniforms, and there were as many as 1,000 armor soldiers in the middle of the guards, and what they held in their hands was the legendary Mo knife!
