Chapter 16: The Battle (Part I)

(There's one more chapter tonight!) )

It's just that this kind of mixing made the Huaixi Army extremely shocked, and then it was even more crazy, which made Chen Xu's soldiers extremely excited, and then it was even more crazy, because everyone understood that this mixture meant that Chen Xu's army broke into the Huaixi Army's military formation.

Wang Pei was already tired and his arms were sore, and the Huaixi army knew that he was a general, so they surrounded him and his own soldiers in the center, and the fierceness of the Huaixi army made it quite difficult for him to deal with it, and he was already out of breath after cutting a dozen of them. But they had to continue to slash mechanically. When a long lance knocked the weapon handed to him flying, he found that Cao Hua was standing behind him.

Cao Hua smiled at him, but Wang Pei didn't speak, and suddenly threw the blade at Cao Hua, Cao Hua was shocked, but he didn't have time to dodge at all, Wang Pei's knife flew past Cao Hua's ear, and he heard an "ah" sound from behind Cao Hua. Cao Hua turned his head to see that an officer of the Huaixi Army had raised a long knife high behind him, was stabbed to death by Wang Pei's saber, and was shaking his body and slowly falling.

The two had no time to talk nonsense, Wang Pei jumped over and pulled out his saber, and went forward side by side with Cao Hua. As soon as Cao Hua arrived, it meant that the Zhaoyi Army had taken over the task of the Loyal Army. After the two of them took a few steps forward side by side, the spear array of the Zhaoyi Army passed past the two of them, and Cao Hua stopped and said:

"General Wang, please take Brother Chen Xu down to rest, our Zhaoyi Erlang will not let the Loyal Warrior brothers see the joke and lose face."

Wang Pei looked back, and the tower was really under the banner of replacing Chen Xujun with the Zhaoyi Army, so he didn't say more, hugged his fists, and gathered Chen Xu's soldiers back to his own camp to rest. He knew very well in his heart that this battle would not be fought soon, go down and rest for a while, and he would come up again soon, and the credit would only get bigger and bigger. Besides, he was really tired. When he returned, he rubbed his saber and thought to himself:

"The Yongzhen knife is really sharp, and it deserves its name!"

What he used was the Yongzhen sword that he had changed before the war, otherwise although Wang Peixian was conceited and brave, he was afraid that he would not be able to support it for so long in the face of the madness of the Huaixi warriors.

After Wang Pei led Chen Xu's army to attack the Huaixi army formation, Han Gongwu and Gao Xiayu on both sides also waved troops into the Huaixi army formation. The main force of the Zhaoyi Army followed Cao Hua, as the backup of the three armies, step by step, looking at the place where Wu Yuanqing was standing, the large array of officers and troops had begun to press forward, Wu Yuanqing's heart was depressed to the extreme, his temples were bulging, and he could feel the blood from the tiger's mouth flowing fast. From the position where he stood, it can be clearly seen that the officers and troops and their own troops have been fighting together in patches, more and more officers and soldiers have crossed through the middle of this small battlefield, opening up new battlefields, and their own side has begun to launch more and more counterattacks, but they have been more and more oppressed back by the officers and troops, and the troops around Zhang Boliang have become fewer and fewer. Wu Yuanqing tried to calm himself down, but he didn't have any thoughts in a panic. Just after the hour, Dong Chongzhen had quietly left the army, but he had mastered the mysterious 15,000 soldiers and horses. The young general next to him saw that Wu Yuanqing's head was covered with beads of sweat, and reminded in a low voice:

"Young Marshal, General Dong said before leaving, wait for the officers and troops to press forward, and then you can counterattack."

Wu Yuanqing, who was thinking nervously, was startled by the young general, and scolded angrily:

"Bastard, don't I know what General Dong said?"

The people around him were taken aback, and they didn't expect that the young marshal Wu Yuanqing still had such a loud voice. However, the young general's words did give Wu Yuanqing a wake-up call, Wu Yuanqing looked closer, all the way in the official army, spears like a forest, the movements were uniform, and a large piece of blood mist could be splashed out as soon as he entered and pumped, and now he had broken through to the center of Zhang Boliang's front army, and Wu Yuanqing's ears seemed to be able to hear the screams of the Huaixi soldiers. And the place where the Huaixi army was originally lined up is now full of official troops, and the Huaixi army is being surrounded one by one, and then flooded by the black sea of people; Looking into the distance, the flag was fluttering, and the officers and soldiers were pressing over to this side in the dark, and they couldn't see their heads at a glance, but they were all over the place, and this kind of momentum couldn't help but make Wu Yuanqing feel suffocated.

Now, it seems that the official army is really pressed by the whole army, after all, Zhang Boliang is too uncompetitive.

Wu Yuanqing was determined, put his hand on the pergola and looked at it, he couldn't see anything in the sky, and asked:

"How long has General Dong been gone?"

The staff next to him replied:

"General Dong left at one o'clock, and it's three o'clock in the afternoon."

It's been an hour and a half, he should have already launched, and now that the officers and troops seem to have been pressed by the whole army, it's time to fight back. When Dong Chongzhi sees me, he will definitely flatter me for proper scheduling, and if this battle is won, Huaixi will definitely respect me like a father. Wu Yuanqing didn't know why he was still in the mood to think about these things at this time, so he quickly settled down and gave the order for the whole army to attack.

The fool can also see two things when he stands in this position, one is that the towers of the officers and troops are still standing tall, and the other is that the banners of the officers and troops under the towers are still flying high, and on the plain, although there are many flags on both sides, the banners of the two armies can still be seen at a glance. And the reason why the fool can see it is because the fool does not know and is afraid. Wu Yuanqing is not a fool, he will be afraid. The tension on the battlefield in front of him made him even notice that the officers and soldiers were surging up in the dark, and he didn't notice that the handsome flag had not moved. If the handsome flag has not been moved, how can it be considered that the whole army has pressed it.

If the whole army is pressed, it should be Wu Chongyin standing on the tower, not Ah Dieguang Yan and Wu Chongyin, and Ah Dieguang Yan will lead the main force to kill. Now the two are still on the tower, and the two have seen the dispatch of the Huaixi Army.

Dou Yi, who was standing beside the two, exclaimed:

"The two commanders, the Huaixi Army has moved in a big formation, and it seems that the whole army is going to fight back."

Sure enough, more and more Huaixi soldiers and horses poured out from behind the dirt slope on the opposite side, and Ah Die's Guangyan looked at it with the naked eye, and there seemed to be several different flags, and Ah Die's Guangyan and Wu Chongyin couldn't help but feel refreshed. The general commands the battle, the key to victory or defeat is whether the opponent can find the flaws, and then seize the opportunity to launch a decisive battle, now the opponent has been mobilized on a large scale, the formation has been chaotic, the flaws have appeared, regardless of the other two places, at least the time has come to decide the victory or defeat on this battlefield.

I'm not afraid of him going out, I'm afraid of him sticking to it.

On the tower, a new banner was raised. Two brigades of the Wuning Army were outflanked from the left, and the other two brigades of Gao Xiayu's Sixth Army were outflanked from the right. The 3,000 Guards moved forward, and the rear army of the 40th Army of Zhaoyi formed a central assault group, and marched on the left and right. Chen Xujun, who had just withdrawn, protected the prince and the Chinese army.

The soldiers of the Sixth Army, who had been waiting for more than four hours, stood up from the ground one after another, Yao Ziyuan put the steamed buns in his hand into the dry food bag, and said loudly:

"It's the first time for our old Yao to be a rear army, so I feel that being a rear army has the benefits of being a rear army. No, we have eaten two meals, and the Huaixi Army didn't even touch our hair. ”

The officers and men of the Sixth Army laughed. Yao Ziyuan turned over and said:

"After all, laughing and laughing, it's the mule and the horse that comes out for a walk. The sons and daughters were full of wine and food, and Hugh was going to call the brothers of Chen Xuzhong's military army to look flat. ”

"General, where can it be?"

A small colonel replied in a loud voice. Others chimed in. Yao Ziyuan was very satisfied, so he stopped stimulating, and when the soldiers and horses of the two brigades were assembled, he pulled out the Yongzhen knife and said:

"Give it to Lao Tzu!"

As soon as Chen Xu's soldiers sat down, they saw the order, Wang Pei put down the half-bitten steamed buns, and was about to gather the army, Gao Yu rushed over with his horse and said:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, and after Chen Xu finishes eating, he will go to the Chinese army to escort him."

Anyway, the station is close to the river, looking for a piece of clean water, and after checking to make sure that there is no poison, the local materials are taken, the ice cubes are chiseled, and the Huotou army boils hot water. Buckets of hot water were placed in front of Chen Xujun, and there were baskets of bowls on the side. After the war, Chen Xu's soldiers were covered in sweat, their cotton clothes were tightly attached to their bodies, and they were comfortable when they drank a sip of hot water. The prince's love moved many Chen Xu soldiers, and they asked to enter the garrison immediately to protect the prince, and later Li Chun sent Wang Ya to make Chen Xu soldiers feel at ease.

In such a short period of time, the scope of the battlefield has expanded by more than two miles, anyway, the river surface is frozen, and the river surface can also be used as a battlefield, the battlefield has crossed the Xiaoyin River, and the scope is still expanding. More than 70,000 soldiers on both sides were strangled together, but they were still tactically standardized, outflanking, anti-outflanking, assault, counter-assault, centripetal, encirclement, the color of the land where the former Huaixi army stayed had changed to red, and above the red, were officers and soldiers wearing black military uniforms. The spear array commanded by Cao Hua has been changed to a battalion, and Wu Yuanqing's Chinese army is facing up, Zhang Boliang's front army on the Huaixi side has retreated to the left and right of the Chinese army, becoming the left and right wing, desperately resisting the attack of the Xuanwu army and the front army of the Sixth Army, while the Huaixi rear army has been bypassed from the flank of the Chinese army, trying to relieve the huge pressure on the front from the side, but it was attacked by the Wuning Army and the second brigade of the left and right of the Sixth Army. The officers and soldiers had an advantage in numbers and weapons, and there were often bloody scenes on the battlefield in which Yongzhen swords cut off the Huaixi soldiers with their weapons and people. The Huaixi Army's counterattack had no effect except for the initial retreat of the left and right flanks of the official army. Now, the battlefield has moved more than two miles to the side of the Huaixi Army, and the advance of the official army has reached the front of the dirt slope where Wu Yuanqing is located.

When the official army was killed, Wu Yuanqing calmed down, perhaps because he understood his situation. Seeing that it was really not a problem, Wu Yuanqing took out the Yongzhen knife hanging from his waist and shouted:

"Follow me!"

He jumped on his horse and rushed out, and behind him were 1,500 elite veterans of Huaixi who had experienced a hundred battles and were not afraid of death. The veteran originally despised the cowardice of the young marshal, but now he found that the young marshal had a rare shadow of a marshal, so he shouted and followed Wu Yuanqing to kill on his horse.
