Chapter 141: Pacifying Yanchuan County (11)
The official army in Longge City has shown a trend of collapse, Xie Yan is a long-time high-ranking hero, and immediately issued an order: "The whole army immediately returns to the inner city, prepares defenses, and prepares to set up a military formation, and the whole army presses on it to repel these thieves in one fell swoop." ”
At this time, a long sound of gold echoed in the city, which was the order for the whole army to withdraw and return to the camp in the Cold Weapon War.
The timbre is crisp and melodious, the aftersound is rich and far-reaching, and the penetrating power is strong, when the two armies are fighting, people shout and neigh, and the sound of fighting is constant, even in the fierce fighting, the soldiers can hear it.
This is the Ming Jin to withdraw the troops, Ming Jin is the signal of the army as a unified military dispatch, the military order is like a mountain, it must be executed, and failure to carry out the military order will be severely punished.
Almost at the same time, the drums in the distance sounded one after another, one after another, straight into his heart, and Yang Qi immediately ordered someone to beat the war drums.
In Yang Qi's military array, there are dozens of chariots, and a big drum is placed on each chariot.
Xie Yan's chest continued to be sullen, stuffed in his heart, his throat was salty, and he was about to vomit blood.
This is a half-crossing attack, which does not only mean that the enemy army crosses the river more than halfway and then goes to attack suddenly. It can also be thought of suddenly attacking the enemy when he is about to win, that is, when he is most tired.
At this time, the city gate was about to be breached, and the official army was preparing to occupy the outer city, but now except for the army in the inner city, the army in the outer city was still complete, and the troops in the outer city and the military formation had been dispersed.
However, in the end, it was the soldiers that Xie Yan had trained for a long time, the soldiers who were like the tide, retreated from the outer city, and under the scolding of the generals, they reluctantly gathered together to form a military formation.
Yang Qice rode on a high ground, the city wall in the distance, thick smoke billowing in, under the faint light of the fire, faintly saw the flags constantly and frequently dancing, the imperial soldiers retreated like a tide from the outer city, and for a moment the dust was flying, obscuring people's vision.
Xie Yan's troops in the inner city were as stable as Mount Tai, and they were preparing to march into the outer city and fight to the death with the rebels. Yang Qi rode up the outer city wall again, looking down on the officers and soldiers, the imperial generals were arranging the standard-bearers, commanding the retreating imperial soldiers, and the military formations everywhere were as turbulent as the waves of the sea.
The front army had no will to fight, and it was chaotic, and the rear army was in the inner city, and it could not advance, Yang Qi suddenly realized that this was the best time to defeat the official army.
Thinking of this, Yang Qi struggled to shout: "I will be Zhang Yan!" ”
"The last general!" Hearing the call of the big handsome, Zhang Yan shouted in response, a wonderful premonition that made his blood boil.
Ordered Zhang Yan loudly: "You will lead two thousand cavalry and go around the formation." Rush into the flank of the enemy, if the enemy formation cannot be pierced, you will quickly return to your own formation, it is not appropriate to continue the battle, if the enemy formation is pierced or even scattered, you and others will drive the scattered enemy soldiers to break up the enemy's rear formation. ”
Yang Qi said again: "You just have to go forward, I will be your royal highness." ”
When Zhang Yan heard the order, he shouted: "The last general has an order!" ”
With that, he led two thousand cavalry to rush out, avoiding the middle army formation, and headed towards the enemy's flank.
There were more than 2,000 people in this cavalry, under the leadership of Zhang Yan, like a bayonet, piercing the enemy's military formation, for the impact of these cavalry, Xie Yan's eyelids jumped, and he suddenly had a headache, and almost fainted to the ground.
This cavalry charged out, and was about to rush into the flank that was about to retreat, and the imperial army was not without capable people, at this moment, only to hear a roar, there were hundreds of cavalry in the official army, and rushed out of the military formation.
"Kill!" Zhang Yan fought hard, all the rebels shouted in unison, two thousand cavalry drew their swords together, the snow was bright, the two steel torrents, collided together, the sword light flickered, blood splashed and sprayed, Zhang Yan was unstoppable, and everywhere he went, he fell silently.
Zhang Yan killed more than a dozen people one after another, he was the sharpest point of the sharp knife, the two cavalry clashed, hundreds of cavalry in the empire, and suddenly only a dozen cavalry survived, such a result made the sergeants who stood a little firm in the front of the formation chilled.
"Kill, kill in." Zhang Yan roared angrily and rushed into the crowded enemy formation.
The long knives flickered in the narrow gap, drawing an arc in the air, and several heads had already flown into the sky, blood splattered, and almost at the same time, the cavalry behind rushed forward.
The horses neighed, shouting to kill the sky, the sound of horses' hooves shook the entire battlefield, and two thousand cavalry rode in an instant, at a speed of more than 70 per hour, and rushed into the enemy formation.
Immediately afterwards, there was a continuous muffled sound of collision, and the hundred refining long knives in Zhang Yan's hand let out a low and sharp scream, blood and flesh splashed, even the screams of death could not stop the man's charge, and all enemies who dared to approach were killed.
Two thousand cavalry cavalry rushed out of the wind and rain of flesh and blood, and everyone was unrecognizable and covered with flesh and blood.
Zhang Yan laughed wildly, and dropped the long knife in his hand, even if it was a hundred refining long knives, in such a fierce battle, there were already gaps everywhere, and at this time, he pulled out a new long knife.
Zhang Yan raised the long knife and roared angrily: "Kill"
Twist the horse's head again and make a second charge against an enemy formation.
The cavalry followed, and continued to charge like an iron stream, this charge instantly broke the last line of defense of the officers and soldiers, and then retreated from the brutal attack and defense of the outer city, and the already exhausted officers and soldiers finally collapsed.
They threw down their weapons and shields, wailed and fled in all directions, desperate to flee the place.
"Drive them to storm the rear army!" Zhang Yan understood the intention of the big boss and roared loudly.
Two thousand cavalry rode unhurriedly and slowly drove thousands of defeated officers and soldiers to the rear army that was advancing not far away.
People who do not have battlefield experience in the rear army of the empire know that once their military formation is dispersed, it will be a collapse.
Mercilessly ordered a salvo of steel crossbows, and for a moment the crossbows rained down.
The sound of cries, screams, the sighs of crossbow arrows, and the muffled sound of human bodies being shattered filled the eardrums of everyone at the scene.
In this terrible situation, the thousands of scattered soldiers still rushed into the rear army's military formation.
The cavalry charged from behind, and in an instant flew into a fleeting narrow gap, penetrating the enemy's formation, and the larger area of the officers and troops collapsed.
Shouts, swords, blood splatters...... Zhang Yan suddenly felt extremely happy, as if his life was originally like this, charging, driving, and smashing the soldiers who dared to block in front of him, penetrating the enemy's front and wanting to shrink, and shattering it.
Seeing this, Yang Qi immediately gave an order: "Rush into battle!" ”
The infantry rushed over like a tide, and in the face of such a flood-like attack, the overall situation was suddenly formed, Xie Yan saw this, and immediately spat out blood with a "wow", and then immediately ordered: "The whole army is slowly retreating." ”
No one can reverse this situation.
Xie Yan looked at these 40,000 elite soldiers, and spent countless efforts, not knowing how many soldiers could return, and his heart was like blood for a while.
had to take the initiative to retreat, he knew that no one could reverse the situation now, and in the retreat, he was ready to retreat to the innermost area, relying on the fortress to continue to resist, and wait for the arrival of the imperial army.
