Chapter 17 The Abandoned Son

(It's about to be a wedding, and I'm so busy~~~~)

1,500 Mo swordsmen were lined up in the center, and without thinking about it, they knew that on both sides were 2,500 cavalry from each brigade, and behind them were 3,500 light infantry, which was the 10,000 guards drawn from Fengxiang and Jingyuan.

Without waiting for Dong Chongzhi to react, from all directions, high places and underground, there were countless feather arrows flying, and the Huaixi army suddenly turned on their backs, and from time to time there were people's screams and horses' sorrows. Dong was proud of the enemy, and it was not until the 8,000 of the 15,000 troops in front of the official army camp who were responsible for the task of attacking the city and pulling out the fortress had just begun, and the men and horses were crowded together and became the best target. Dong Chongzhi waved his knife and feathered the arrow that flew towards him, and loudly ordered his subordinates to disperse quickly, but in the panic, everyone was in a mess, everyone wanted to listen to his orders, but how could they carry it out?

But the Huaixi army is the Huaixi army after all, and the arrows of the three groups of crossbowmen have not yet been released, and the defense of the Huaixi army has been prepared, and the infantry quickly ran from the large army with their shields high to the two wings, blocked the feathered arrows, and then hid behind the shields and slowly moved forward, opening the formation. However, the Huaixi army was caught off guard and still lost thousands of combat effectiveness. Even Dong Chongzhen's left arm was hit by a crossbow arrow.

To fight or not to fight, and how to fight, is a serious problem for Dong Chongzhen. Dong Chongzhen regretted that he had divided nearly half of the 15,000 troops into an ambush behind the flanks of the officers and troops on the Xiaolushui battlefield -- this was prepared to wait for the officers and troops to be in chaos and kill them halfway. Now, this pursuit has put Dong Chongzhen in a dilemma.

In front of him is known as the natural enemy of the world's elite cavalry, the Mo swordsman, on both sides is the cavalry that looks like the elite, forward, the knife wall composed of the Mo swordsman will smash the mule cavalry and escape, the cavalry of the Guards on both wings will quickly catch up and chase from behind, which is much easier than killing the enemy head-on.

Dong Chongzhi thought to himself, fortunately, in order to move quickly, 5,000 of my 8,000 men are cavalry. It's just that how to use these 5,000 cavalry to maximize the preservation of the Xiaolu River battlefield? Dong Chongzhen no longer has any illusions about being able to defeat the official army, and a dignified defeat is already his most extravagant pursuit now. With his status and vision, he fully understood what the fiasco meant to Huaixi. If Wu Yuanji is really caught, then it means that the first line of Shenzhou is already in danger, and the first line of Gwangju cannot be counted on at all. If there is a fiascous defeat in the battle of Lishui today, the best situation is that Huaixi relies on a few fulcrums such as Huiqu, Langshan, and Wufang to defend Caizhou. What was worse was that the official army directly surrounded Caizhou, and what was even worse was that Wu Yuanqing was captured on the battlefield, and then Huaixi did not have to fight anymore -- Wu Shaocheng's current situation was very clear to Dong Chongzhen.

Therefore, Dong Chongzhen quickly made his own choice: quickly break through the siege, return to the Xiaoshui battlefield, and avoid the worst situation. Based on the current situation, he knew very well that the situation on the Xiaoshui battlefield must be even more dangerous than it is now, and if he could not distinguish the situation and continued to entangle, then the possibility of the entire army being annihilated was not great, but very great.

The officers and soldiers did not set aside time for Dong to think about it. In the thunderous "killing" sound, Mo Dao Hand has begun to make a terrifying wall advance. The three rows of Mo Dao held this offensive blade weighing fifty catties, his steps were firm, his eyes were resolute, and he exuded an indomitable momentum. A neat lineup will always create an invincible momentum, which will always cause psychological pressure and even fear on the other side, laying the foundation for your own victory, and the idiom of being in full swing is the best proof of this. Under Wang Dahai's instructions, 3,500 light infantry shouted "kill", "kill", "kill", as if they were cheering for the invincible Modao army, and every "kill" seemed to be killed in the hearts of the Huaixi army, oppressing the nerves of the Huaixi army, as if to destroy the Huaixi army's will to fight.

The battles in which the Modao Army participated, it seems, have never been lost. If they had met at the beginning of the war, the Huaixi Army might have shown a super strong fighting spirit driven by pride, but under the unprecedented blow of losing thousands of combat strength without even seeing the enemy's face, and under the domination of the fear of being calculated and ambushed, the Huaixi Army, which had never seen such a strong army, was timid, and the fear began to spread among the army. Looking at the white knife wall approaching him in front of him, the hands of the strong soldiers in the front row of Huaixi were trembling, and looking through the gap, the soldiers in the back row of Huaixi were secretly swallowing their saliva.

How long can a place be an arrow, gradually, it seems that even the eyes of the warriors hidden behind the armor can see clearly, how indifferent this look is, like the scythe of death, sweeping over the faces of the Huaixi soldiers.

Finally, there are Huaixi generals who can't stand this invisible pressure. A seven-foot-tall fierce general shouted:

"Mother sells x! Follow Lao Tzu! ”

Without Dong Chongqing's consent, he rode his horse, no, he was killed by a mule. This shout seemed to call back the soul of the Huaixi Army. Many soldiers began to have a human color, and Dong Chongzhi took the opportunity to order:

"Former army, kill his grandmother!"

The soldiers of the former army, who have lost half of them, have killed them with mules in a hula-la, grandma, Lao Tzu is a cavalryman, and I am afraid that you will not succeed!

When the front army rushed up, no one looked back, and the rear army of the Huaixi army had already turned around and retreated. Then, Dong Chongzhen ordered:

"The infantry is in formation, you must hold on here for half an hour, General Ben will lead the cavalry to converge with the two generals Zhao Sun, and attack from behind, and will definitely break the enemy in one fell swoop!"

Dong Chongzhen's composure quickly calmed the hearts of many Huaixi officers and soldiers. Yes, this is a tactic that Huaixi is good at, General Dong has led us many times, and this time it will definitely be! Many soldiers saw that Dong Chongzhen still had a smile on his face when he left, how rare it was!

Dong Chongzhi's heart is dripping blood, brothers, you always say that I am too cruel to you, let me laugh at you once! Turning around, Dong Chongzhi whipped his horsewhip, and the hooves of the mule struck the frozen earth, disappearing into the gloomy sky.

Seeing Dong Chongzhen, an adjutant general eagerly requested:

"General, the last general knows where General Sun went to ambush, let the last general go to find General Sun to raid the Modao Army!"

Dong Chongzhi said in a low voice:

"You go to find General Sun, and ask him to lead his troops to the Xiaoshui battlefield immediately, break through from behind, and be sure to rescue the young marshal. You, go to General Zhao and ask him to return to the camp immediately! ”

Several lieutenants were stunned:

"And what about our front army and the infantry on the left and right flanks?"

"Go! Enforce military orders! ”

Dong Chongzhen's face immediately became hideous.

Even if he turns the tide in this battle, his heart will never be at peace. He threw away nearly 4,000 soldiers at one time and let them buy time for themselves. Dong Chongqin's eyes were blood-red, as if he was about to erupt into fire.
