Chapter 98: Under Heaven
Although the crossbow arrows in front of him were dense and powerful, causing the Black Cloud Cavalry to fall off their horses, this short distance rushed by, and everyone followed the rhythm of Yu Yan to level the iron cavalry, and the dense wedge-shaped cavalry formation slammed deeply into the Song army's infantry formation with a huge momentum.
Note 1: There were thousands of Han cavalry chasers. Xiang Wang can't take it off. It is said that his cavalry said: "I have been eight years old since I started the army, and I have fought more than 70 battles. However, now that the death is trapped here, □ justice, death, and the law of the son. The death of me on this day is not a crime of war. Today, I will die a solid death, because the kings will fight quickly, and they will win three times, and they will break the siege for the kings, behead the generals, and cut the flag, so that the kings will know that the heavens are dead and I am not the crime of war. "It is divided into four teams, four townships. The Han army surrounded several times. King Xiang said that he was riding and said: "I will take one of them for the public." "Let the four sides ride down, and the period of Shandong is three. □ the righteous period met Shandong, which was divided into three places, and the Han army did not know where Xiang Yu was. Zhiyun of the land: "Jiutou Mountain is ninety-six miles northwest of Quanjiao County, Chuzhou. Jiangbiao passed that Yun Xiangyu was defeated to Wujiang, and the Han soldiers chased Yu to this point, and fought nine battles in one day, because of his name. So King Xiang shouted□ Righteousness is against you. Galloping down, the Han army was invincible, and □ justice was the opposite. Sluggish, the essence of speech is low. Then he beheaded a general. At that time, the Marquis of Chiquan was a cavalryman, chasing King Xiang, King Xiang was dumbfounded, the Marquis of Chiquan was shocked, and he was shocked for a few miles□ and the righteous words were shocked, and the old place was easy to open, and even a few miles. There are three places to ride it. The Han army did not know where King Xiang was, so they divided the army into three and re-encircled it. Xiang Wang Naichi, re-beheaded the first lieutenant of the Han Dynasty, killed dozens of hundreds of people, reunited his horseman, and killed his two horsemen. It is said that he rode and said: "What is it?" and the rider said: "As the king said." ”
Note 2: On the way to Beijing, Wu Sangui learned that his father had been imprisoned by the Dashun army, and his lover had been occupied by Cai Zicheng's generals. Wu Sangui is also a bloody man, and he holds 100,000 "Guanning Iron Horses", knowing that his father was abused and his wife was occupied, if he could still be indifferent at this time, he would really not be a man. Therefore, Wu Sangui could not help but be angry, shouting loudly that his husband could not protect his family, how could he be a human being? Therefore, he immediately led the army back to the Shanhaiguan Division, and then ordered the whole army to wear white and filial piety for Emperor Chongzhen, and opened the gate of Shanhaiguan and surrendered to Dolgon, which made the Manchu Qing Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of Eight Banners force quickly swallow up the Ming Dynasty's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains like a flood of fierce beasts, and from then on Wu Sangui's body had the mark of a traitor and traitor whom everyone hated to the bone, and his life was also firmly nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
The question is, what man would surrender to another man who has taken his own woman? If so, how would he be written in the history books? The unparalleled impact of the heavy cavalry Black Cloud Long Sword made the Song army's infantry sink into a big pit, but Yu Yan did not expect to be able to break the Song people's infantry this time, slightly deflected the horse's head, and swept the Song army with an iron lance at the side end, and all the Black Cloud cavalry followed his horse's head, sweeping out an arc at the weakest point of the Song army's formation, although hundreds of cavalry fell and died in the process, but the Song army's front soldiers really felt the terrible Black Cloud Long Sword, and the formation was inevitably loosened.
Not far from the Song army, he returned the war horse, and saw that the mount that he was reluctant to use began to spit out his tongue and exhale white breath, showing fatigue, but he did not pity it, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and he led the team to rush towards the Song army formation again, but this impact only brought nearly sixty percent of the knights to attack, and the remaining more than two hundred of the most elite knights only watched from a distance.
The first wave of impact, by running sideways in front of the Song army's formation, Yu Yan and other black cloud cavalry generals already had a general understanding of the Song army's actual weakest point, and this time they rushed into it with a wedge-shaped cavalry formation.
Although the columns of infantry had a huge advantage in stopping the onslaught of the cavalry, the decisive impact of heavy cavalry like Heiyundu, regardless of casualties, was not something that the foot soldiers of this era could withstand. In front of them, layer after layer of Song army foot soldiers began to stumble back, only relying on their flesh and blood to absorb the kinetic energy of the cavalry charging little by little.
Just when the speed of the Black Cloud Capital cavalry gradually slowed down, the two hundred Black Cloud Cavalry who had watched the battle earlier rushed out of the flesh alley along the same robe rushed out of the flesh alley again, and the front cavalry gave way to the arrow position, under the protection of the cavalry on both wings, the two groups of more than 100 cavalry successfully exchanged the arrow position, the heavily armored Black Cloud Cavalry really broke through the Song army's infantry formation with only three impacts, and Wu Yingying and other divine guards only followed behind the two hundred Black Cloud Cavalry who rushed in behind, and rushed past the interception of the Song army with only a dozen deaths.
Wu Yingying rode his horse and galloped wildly, while looking back, the wounded Yu Yan broke the tail of the arrow inserted into the gap in the armor at will, while rectifying the remaining more than 300 Black Cloud cavalry to attack the Song army again, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and secretly vowed that one day he would rebuild the Black Cloud Capital, and in the name of the Black Cloud Long Sword, deter all directions.
What Wu Yingying didn't see clearly was that Yu Yan's eyes were hit by a stray arrow, and his face was bleeding, if it weren't for the fact that the arrow had weakened, it would almost pierce the back of his head. Inevitably affecting the morale of the army, Yu Yan immediately pulled the arrow out of the eye socket in pain, and the Song people used to use the arrow with a barb, and pulled out the eyeball under a handful, and put it softly on the left cheek with the tendons. This Yan Yan is also bloody, and immediately endured the pain, took out the dagger he carried with him, cut off his eyeballs, threw it into his mouth, and swallowed it raw. The pain in his heart made him exhausted, and looking into the distance, the infantry of the Song army, who was attacking in the whole team, and the cloud cavalry army that was quickly overtaking the infantry chasing after him, seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of blood mist. A big banner was written "The Great Song Dynasty Expedition to Shengzhou and the West Camp Deploy Cao", which was shaking rapidly, and the Song troops of all departments were rapidly approaching the escaping Tang army under the urging of this military flag.
Yu Yan looked around left and right, most of the Black Cloud Cavalry were wounded, and the war horses under their crotch were also tired, but everyone looked at him with a firm expression, and a tooth soldier took out the banner of Black Cloud Capital from his arms, put it under the spear head of the iron lance, and stood behind Yu Yan, and the high banner was hunting in the wind, and the red one was also like blood.
Feeling that the warm vitality seemed to be draining from his chest little by little, Yu Yan inhaled a breath of cold air hard, and then held his breath, leaving the last strength in his body, and the only remaining right eye stared fiercely at the banner of martial arts, and shouted: "Kill Cao Bin!" The good horse under his crotch was in line with his master's heart, and he also burst out with the last trace of strength, and rushed forward like an arrow, and the three hundred heavy horsemen also beat their horses and followed closely behind him, launching the final assault on the general banner of the Song army.
I saw the Black Cloud Cavalry, who had mustered up the last trace of strength and courage, rushed forward and rushed towards the Song Army's large array, and before they came into contact with the foot soldiers, they were intercepted by the Cloud Cavalry first, because the direction of the Black Cloud Cavalry was to take the main general, and the Cloud Cavalry, which had relatively thin armor, could not avoid it, so they could only block the way of the Black Cloud Cavalry. When the cavalry on both sides made a mistake, the cloud cavalry was often stabbed off the horse by the iron lance, and the black cloud cavalry only dangled on the horse.
However, fatigue and a thin number of people made it less than 100 Black Cloud Cavalry to break out of the Cloud Cavalry Army. Cao Bin in the large array of the Song army looked contemptuously at the black cloud rider who was still desperately moving forward despite the horsepower, and said: "What a reckless man! It's a pity for these hot-blooded men!" waved his hand and ordered the pikemen and brand hands who had already assembled to step forward, and the crossbow was ready to be fired.
At that time, there was a saying in the Song army that there were fancy costumes and pure teams, which meant that a team of troops was equipped with various weapons, while pure teams meant that a team of troops was only equipped with spears, crossbows and other general blades. The debate over which was more conducive to the exertion of combat power between the fancy costume and the pure team continued until the destruction of the Song Dynasty by the Meng Yuan Dynasty, and the preferences of each general were different. Cao Bin brought this time was originally full of fancy costumes, and he did not encounter a strict gun array and shield array when he charged for the first time, but Cao Bin, a famous general who had been on the battlefield for a long time, did not know how to ride on foot, and was just too light on the enemy before. From a distance, the chaotic infantry of the Song army has become an iron wall of spears and arrows.
