Volume 3 Heroes Silent Heaven and Earth Old 22 The Fisherman I.
Infantry against cavalry relied on only two things, courage and discipline. Deng She's department didn't dare to say "freeze to death without demolishing the house, starve to death without plundering", but with fierce generals like Yang Wanhu in front of the encouragement, and the bright and bright butcher's knife in the prison array, in a short period of time, you can pack a ticket, absolutely nothing.
The sun in heaven is covered by clouds, and the heavens and the earth are darkened.
Deng She's body was splashed with blood, the spear in his hand had already broken the hilt, and he changed the saber in his hand. The whistling wind passed behind my ears, and the bright blood bloomed into petals. The dying screams of the enemy, the numbness of his listening; On the battlefield where the stumps are flying, the horse's hooves are thundering.
"Where is Yang Wanhu?"
Bi Qianniu tried his best, firmly following Deng She's left and right, dodging an arrow shot from a distance, and he hissed and shouted: "Just retreated!" ”
"What time is it?"
"It's almost time."
Deng She was distracted and used for two purposes, and after a little calculation, Yang Wanhu persisted for more than three quarters of an hour, although he had the help of fortifications, it was a rare achievement; He used a thousand men to deal with thousands of iron horsemen, and it was estimated that the casualties were not small, and no matter how embarrassing it was, it would be of great use. The battle continues, the winner is still not clear, "the left flank must be seized as soon as possible!" Deng She always felt that the Yuan army would not send only these thousands of troops to intercept his own army.
"Pay attention to the rear sentry flag, but there is a change, tell me immediately!" Deng She instructed Bi Qianniu, picked up the saber, blocked the spear from the opposite side, urged the horse to turn away, played a sabre, raised the knife in his hand, and cut off one of the arms of the cavalry: "Kill!" ”
Bi Qianniu's spear stabbed out, knocked the cavalry with the broken arm off the horse, trampled the horse, the cavalry shouted twice, spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and died instantly. The flying and fluffy blood blinded Bi Qianniu's eyes, and he wiped it away casually, and also shouted: "Kill!" ”
Dunsher noticed that they had broken deep into the enemy line. The cavalry on both sides were intertwined, and the space available for maneuver was getting narrower and narrower, and if it continued like this, it would not be cavalry, but would become a foot soldier. He immediately made a decision, held his bridle head, and commanded the soldiers who took over him to raise the flag: "To the right, to the right!" ”
With him as the spearhead, Li Jing and other officers were like wedges, galloping iron streams, making a bend, and fighting a bloody road. After all, some people are not well trained, the turns are loose, people are constantly falling off the horse, and people are constantly injured. If the whole of the two sides is compared to a millstone, then the individual cavalry is the grain in between, backlogged and stirred.
As he rushed out of the enemy's ranks, there were not many, only about two hundred. In the open space between the foot soldiers and the cavalry, Deng She led them around, the hooves of the horses flying into the dust, and countless horses neighing.
On his flank, the Yuan army and the red scarf foot soldiers, the main forces on both sides have also exchanged fronts. Deng She swept his eyes, and the chariot array was about to be broken, and the fire and crossbows rained down almost non-stop, pouring down on both sides. He saw the banner of Xu Ren, erected in the midst of the spear array, standing still. Further back, there is the banner of Yang Wanhu in the short-range formation, and finally, the banner behind the palace of Heguangxiu.
Dunshe withdrew his gaze and turned his gaze to the front. Hundreds of meters away, the entanglement of the left flank gradually heated up. The Yuan army invested less than 2,000 troops, and its own army is more than 1,000, and it is estimated that the current casualties on both sides should be about the same, both around 100.
"Within half an hour, this cavalry must be defeated!" If the Yuan army has backup, if it goes around behind the red scarf formation at this time and attacks from both sides, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Dunsher walked in circles as he pounced into the distance. In the case of a roughly evenly matched situation, how to win in the melee between the two compartments? Throughout the history of warfare, in addition to the favorable time and place, an important commonality of the victors is that they always attack the minority of the enemy army with the majority of their own army.
In the middle of the battlefield, there was a small hill on the right, because it was all cavalry, and both armies subconsciously bypassed it.
The fighter plane is fleeting, and you must not hesitate when you are in battle. Deng She didn't think about it anymore, made up his mind, looked back on his side, and those who could kill with him were all brave people. At a glance, I saw a hundred officials, with a long body and a round waist, riding a thin horse, and a fat man riding a thin horse, ridiculously dignified.
Deng She remembered that this person was quite brave, and asked, "How many people have you killed?" ”
The hundred officials replied, "Five people were stabbed with guns, and three people were stabbed with swords." "I listen to the accent, but it's a southerner.
"Good man! What's your name? ”
"The last general, Liu Yang."
Deng Shedao pointed to the hills and said, "Give you a hundred people, do you have the courage to go and occupy it for Lao Tzu?" ”
"Fifty is enough."
"What a Southern Barbarian!" Deng She looked up to the sky and laughed, turned the saber, made a shallow cut on his arm, wiped the blood, smeared it on his face, and said sharply: "Today's battle to the death, I am invincible!" Order: Liu Yang, lead 100 people, seize the hilly area within half an hour, take the horse as the array, disconnect the front and back of the tartar, without my order, you can't retreat a step! ”
Many of Liu Yang's subordinates are still fighting in the battle, but he has his own acquaintances, and he selected a hundred people with courage and strength, and shouted: "Fight to the death today, I am invincible!" The general fights to the death, and we wait for the mortal enemy. "Draw your sword together, slash your arms, and wipe your face with blood. All of them are murderous, hideous as ghosts, and turn their horses away.
"Wave the flag and come with me."
Deng She rushed into the enemy formation for the second time, and they only turned around the periphery twice, and the speed of the horses was fast, like sharp swords, and they pierced straight into the center of the Yuan army. This time, he no longer charged to kill the enemy, and focused mainly on his own army in the converging array, so he rushed out, killed, and rushed in again, and in a short time, more than 400 people gathered.
There was a lot of chaos in the array, Bi Qianniu's eyes were quick, and he said, "General, Liu Yang has arrived!" ”
Deng She looked at it, Liu Yang's fat figure was very recognizable, and the red scarf banner was erected in the hilly area. There was no one in the hilly terrain, and half of the hundred and ten men dismounted, took cover, pushed their mounts to the front, joined them in a line, and quickly nailed them into it.
There were many soldiers and soldiers who had been killed in the battle earlier, as well as many dead horses and corpses, and they covered each other, pulled them over, and put them together. The commander of the Yuan army discovered this change at the same time and guessed Deng She's intentions. The situation of the melee was slightly quiet, like a wave crashing on the shore, and waves of Yuan troops changed the direction of attack and swept the hilly area instead.
No one would allow the enemy's nails to be inserted in such an eyesore place.
"He can't hold on for long,...... "Deng She looked far and near, more than 500 red scarves and more than 1,000 troops were fighting and fighting, and they could never be transferred out again, and if they were readjusted, they would lose their fragile balance, not an advantage or a disadvantage, but only a re-entry into chaos."
More than 400 people, which is enough. Deng She raised his saber: "In the past, he killed me like grass; Today I will kill him like grass. Wouldn't it be good to you, all the armies! ”
"Ho!"
Courage and cowardice are plotting, strength and weakness are in the potential. If you seek to succeed, you will be brave; If you lose the momentum, the brave will be cowardly. Deng She did his best to build momentum, not to mention, and as his own manager, in fact, as the king of Guanbei, he charged into the front line, you must know that on the battlefield, the role of the commander in the lead is very large.
Although he was not familiar with the cavalry, he was famous; Second, Li Jing, the chief general of the cavalry, has been following his war horse, and has invisibly played a positive role.
Therefore he was angry, and all three armies were angry.
"Kill!"
"Kill!" Thousands of horses' legs let go, the ground trembled, and the clouds melted. The scorching sun returned to the sky, Dunshe attacked from the southwest to the northeast, and the afternoon sun was hanging in the west, and the dazzling light shone on the armor of the enemy, piece by piece, like a sea of metal.
Deng She's eyes closed slightly, and his heart was overjoyed. They have their backs to the sun, and they are still affected; Not to mention that the Yuan army was facing the sun, and under the galloping speed, it must have been affected more.
That's the time.
The scorching sun hangs in the western sky, and it looks coldly at the human war that has never been broken for thousands of years on this vast land. At this time, the battlefield is divided into two parts, one large and one small. In a large area, the cavalry against the foot soldiers, the Yuan army has broken through the chariot formation and entered the gun and horse gun formation; The small one was gradually split into two pieces, the left one, and the Yuan army had more than the red scarf; On the right, there are far more red scarves than the Yuan army, and in the middle of the two, the banner of the red scarves is fluttering, but it never falls.
The sound of shouting and killing soared into the sky; It yawned lazily, and in an hour or two, it was the moon's turn. But this war can't even cover the night. An army that could not see the origin of the battlefield quietly appeared in the rear of the battlefield, swaggering the banner, approaching the rear of the red turban foot soldiers.
"Tartar! Tartars! ”
Enemy troops from the West came to raise the white flag. The rear sentry scouts galloped back desperately, and the white flag in their hands was about to fly away. He Guangxiu's palms were sweating, and he saw a black cloth several feet long dragged on the tail of the flag, which was a sign of the large number of enemies.
"Cavalry or footmen?"
The flag officer stared at the white flag in the sentry's hand for a moment: "Foot soldier." ”
No wonder it took more than an hour to go around to the back of the formation; "It's a good time." He Guangxiu touched the beard on his lips with a slight tremble, and he didn't know where to go, the thick, bright and black fake beard seemed to give him some courage in an instant. He straightened his waist, and Pan Cheng's contemptuous expression was as if it were yesterday, "Emascular? He muttered to himself.
He calmed down, and in the face of the sentry who was in a hurry to return, and in the face of the banner of the Yuan army that showed the horizon, he smiled indifferently. But when he was seen by the soldiers, there was a firm and powerful self-confidence, which flashed in his smile.
"Lao Tzu is ten thousand households!" His sharp voice pierced the ears of his own soldiers, "Order, array!" Wen Huaguo is in battle, he always likes to say a word, he thinks it is very suitable for the immediate use, he waved his sword and screamed, "Brothers, resist!" His eyes were red, and his dagger was pointing backwards to boost morale, "Do you know?" You are not alone,...... "he howled, "behind you there are ten thousand tigers!" ”
"Order, there is no advance or retreat!" He whispered, "Tell the general quickly." ”
From thousands of households to hundreds of households, from hundreds of households to ten captains, the red scarves in the back moved. Without waiting for him to report, Bi Qianniu also discovered the flag of the sentry.
