The tidal wave swept in. Every time the thunderous sound of horses' hooves flew to the ground, it would stir up bursts of white mysterious dust, and the white snowfield turned into a blurry muddy meadow under the ravages of several iron hooves, and the whole earth trembled under the footsteps of the war giants who had been fused by several iron horses. A cavalry contingent composed of hundreds and thousands of horsemen roared, either in front or behind, close to each other but maintaining a certain distance, and swept through under the invincible momentum.
Although the clothes were different, with leather armor and iron armor, they all showed a vague glow in the sunlight, and the expressions of hideous or excited faces were so similar. Whether it is a well-trained standing Hu cavalry, or a tribal armed force recruited into the camp, the eyes revealed at this time are so bloodthirsty, looking forward to choosing people to devour. Rulin's swords and guns and sky-covering flags flew all over the sky, and the sound of the hulala flag whistled through the wind, which seemed extremely harsh at this moment. Like a black-brown tide coming from the waves, with the galloping momentum of the war horse under his crotch, a momentum that would be accumulated into powder would rise from the bottom of Hu Qi's heart.
Zhou Jun is not what they hate the most, Zhu Biao is what they have been looking forward to for a long time! There is no need to feint and propose, anyway, the bow and arrow are invalid, and the real ** will come immediately.
The stormy offensive arrived. The Wu division obviously saw that the weak point of the defense of the Han army + the Zhou army was there, and the huge iron flow was divided into two more than 100 zhang away from the Chinese army, and it was divided into two fierce streams, one left and one right, and the Zhou army on both flanks attacked.
The surging waves slammed on the battle formations of the Zhou army on both flanks one after another, and the Hu cavalry chanting slogans slammed down on the guns with red eyes and high scimitars and heavy hammers. From the battle array of the Zhou army, wave after wave of throwing spears cut through fragile lives like huge scythes.
The bow and crossbow can't be used, but the gun can. The armor of the Hu people can't even resist the arrows and crossbows, not to mention the spears and spears. The shouts of the Hu people were mixed with terrible screams, so that Zhu Biao, who boarded the bucket, enjoyed the beautiful scenery of 'rain hitting the residual lotus' out of thin air.
But the blood price paid by the Hu cavalry was not unrewarded, under the sacrifice of 30,000 Hu cavalry, the morale of the Zhou army on both flanks fell below eighty, and then the formation wavered.
Wushi looked at this scene with a cruel smile. When the two wings of the Han army completely collapsed, how could Zhu Biao, who was left with himself, return to the sky alone?
They must go to save the two wings of the Zhou army. But this will affect their own array, and as long as the slightest flaw is exposed, they will pounce on it and bite it hard. Perhaps, it will be a massacre? The pleasure in the heart can be described in words, and it can only be said that it hurts, and it hurts too much.
Looking at the Hu cavalry that poured into the two wings, Zhu Biao shook his head slightly. This simple 'thinking' is really ......
The impact of Hu Qi was unexpectedly fierce on both wings of the Zhou army, and everyone could see that the other party was planning to eat him at any cost, and the whistling spear throwing method was fundamentally to block the Hu Qi who forgot to die, and the Zhou army did not have too many throwing guns, and if he didn't take measures, maybe it was really time to say the end.
That's fine. Let's just let the attack be more violent.
A grim smile appeared on the indifferent face of Song Jun, the commander of the Zhou army on the right flank, and the banner soldiers behind him waved the banner desperately under the signal of the commander. Suddenly, the front of the Zhou army, which was constantly retreating, seemed to have suddenly erupted, and a fierce wave of tough counterattacks suffocated the swept Hu cavalry wave offensive.
The roaring Zhou army turned into an iron wall, even if Hu Qi's offensive was so crazy and fierce. They also had to be beaten, the stumps and ruined bodies that rose into the sky, the cerebral plasma scattered in all directions, and the miserable howl that made people go crazy, all of which could not stop the Hu cavalry who had seen the dawn of victory.
The sudden toughness of the Zhou army did not reduce Hu Qi's scorching morale by half a point, but made them even more frenzied.
Qi Tang, who was the first to break into the Zhou army formation on the right flank, was a veteran of the battle, and as a standing army commander of ten thousand cavalry, he experienced the last battle of Hu and Han. He participated in the whole process of the battle between Hu Di and the coalition forces, and also carried out a raid on Hezhou, but he now has only 5,000 soldiers under his command.
But this is also the biggest reason why Qitang is holding back his strength today. In the battle at Baishan Chishui a month ago, Qitang's 10,000 cavalry lost more than 3,000 people, but they did little damage to the Han and Zhou coalition forces. After participating in the war for decades, Qitang considered himself the most tragic battle and humiliation, and more than 200,000 troops were defeated and fled. And he himself did not even smell the blood of the enemy, and he was defeated in a daze, a battle that he still remembers to this day.
But even with such a 'shame', Qitang's status under Wushi is still very high. Deeply involved in the battle of the surrendered city. Then there was the Battle of Baishan Chishui, and the important ministers and generals under the Wu Division suffered heavy losses. At present, the senior hall, in terms of seniority or ability, can be among the best under Wushi. Not to mention that in the case of heavy losses in the standing cavalry of the right valley Libu, Qitang still has 5,000 standing cavalry in his hands, which is very weighty in the remnants of the Wushi division with a total number of only **10,000 cavalry, and the standing cavalry army and the tribal armed forces are mixed.
When the cavalry broke through the 'iron wall' of the Zhou army, Qitang knew that the balance of victory had tilted in his favor, he no longer wandered around the periphery, with his own tooth soldiers, with a roar of the leader of the leader, the five thousand elites under his command immediately followed by a roar, like thousands of wolves roaring, riding horses wildly, surging forward. In the world of Qitang, as long as the infantry defense line is broken, the victory belongs to the warriors of the grassland. Without a solemn array, even the most elite infantry in the world would not be able to resist the courage and iron hooves of the cavalry.
Song Jun sighed in his heart, relying only on their own strength, it was really not good. After being tough, not only was the front broken through, but the chaos also made unnecessary flaws in his own mobilization. And the general of Hu Cai's troops was very old, and immediately seized the opportunity.
Qitang didn't give the Zhou army much time to breathe and retreat and regroup, and when the first line of defense was breached, the crazy Hu cavalry had already begun to break down a little. Under the leadership of Qi Tang, they ignored the remnants of the Zhou army soldiers in the first array, but immediately launched a desperate attack on the second array of the Zhou army.
Qi Tang, who had been stimulated by the thick blood and joy, was completely caught in the ** of battle, and the feeling of killing the enemy was difficult to replace by anything else. Every swing of the thick-backed scimitar would always bring waves of blood, and the heads and faces full of pain, confusion, horror, anger, and unwillingness would ripple in the chest of the elderly.
Kill, kill, kill! Kill all the enemies who dare to block themselves, how can these cowardly guys stop the advance of the Immortal Heaven Warriors.
The Hu cavalry behind Qitang was also brave at this time, with thistles, scimitars, and maces. The rain of blood, the sonorous and dull sounds of collision represented all kinds of encounters, and the cavalry and infantry decided their fate long ago.
The Zhou army, whose formation began to be chaotic, was defeated and retreated under the frantic strangulation of the Hu cavalry, and they tried their best to change anything. Some of the soldiers of the Zhou army who fell into the group of Hu cavalry, after knowing that they had lost hope of survival, were in the spirit of fighting for one to be enough and fighting for two to earn their lives. Gashe forgot about life and death, regardless of the fight. But even this is just a matter of making Hu Qi exert more effort and pay some more price, and it will not change their own fate in any way.
The Song army knew very well that the iron cavalry of the Hu people who broke into the camp was very powerful, not to mention that the armor worn by this group of people was iron armor, and even the horses rarely had a few pieces of iron leaf armor hanging on their chests. Although it still seems very weak, compared to the Hu tribe armed forces who only have leather armor, this cavalry is obviously the essence of the hands of the Wu Division.
The Hu cavalry, which was divided into several assault arrows, tore apart the second and third arrays of the Zhou army under the leadership of several core figures, and quickly surrounded several annihilation circles to strangle the Zhou soldiers in the encirclement. Carried away by the killing intent and joy, the unresponsive Hu cavalry even thought that the Zhou army's military formation had collapsed on all fronts, and they were so happy that they shouted and howled.
The pungent smell of oil stimulated Qi Tang to sneeze, and the galloping footsteps of the horse under his feet also seemed a little slippery, as if there was some greasy liquid splashing with the hooves of the horse galloping forward, Qi Tang lowered his head in some surprise, and glanced at the black liquid under his feet. Scattered in a mess on the way forward.
The huge fear suddenly filled his entire chest, making him almost have a spasm all over his body, and Qi Tang's heart seemed to jump out at that moment, and before he had time to react, Qi Tang's voice suddenly became hoarse: "Stop advancing!" Stop moving forward! Stand back now! ”
But like a flood, the tens of thousands of Hu cavalry who followed the influx were what he could stop at the sound of an order, Rao is standing cavalry under him was far more disciplined than others, but the Hu cavalry that followed in almost blocked the entire retreat.
I gasped. Qi Tang immediately reacted to how stupid his order was, how to retreat in such a situation, how to retreat, and how to retreat, only to move forward desperately. The only way to survive is to move forward bravely! He shouted back just now, which could only make the elite of his subordinates controllable zhì become chaotic. These damn Central Plains people are so vicious that they actually came up with such a method to use such a despicable and risky method in their own military formation!
When Qi Tang was busy changing the order he had conveyed for the first time, the Song army, who had watched that the prey had entered the trap, no longer gave him any chance, and with the herald's order flag waving, several rockets wrapped in oilcloth rose into the sky, carrying the curse of the fire demon and descending on the chaotic Hu cavalry group, and the fire oil in the ground quickly burst into flames more than a foot high, frantically devouring the prey in his arms.
Fear of fire is the nature of ordinary animals, and the reason for this is that there are more than one 'Honghuang Ruins' in this world, such as Yunmeng Daze.
But when it comes to war horses, you can't expect them to be as fond of fire as the dragon sparrow and the fire fox. The frightened horses immediately became a mess, and the scorching flames chased the hairy prey, and the scorching fire made the beasts no longer free from the control of the riders on horseback, and fled in all directions. The formation, which was still as arrogant as a flood, immediately came to naught and became a mess. At this moment, only the raging fire demons were wandering around, spreading rampantly along the extension of the oil traces, and almost the entire Hu cavalry that broke through the fourth array of the Zhou army was swept into the fire, and the raging fire made the entire battlefield silent.
Then, Hu Cai, who was also ravaging the left-wing Zhou army, withdrew his hands and feet, and they fiercely feared the inner line of the Zhou army, which was still desperately eager a moment ago.
Right wing.
The Hu cavalry who were lucky enough to break out of the fire also had to face the desperate resistance of the third and fourth remnants of the Zhou soldiers, and the Hu cavalry who rushed forward in the fire also had to face the iron wall of the remaining Zhou army.
Song Jun calmly stood on the platform and watched the development of the battle situation, although from the current situation, his troops already had an advantage, but he himself knew how weak such an advantage was, and this kind of simple arrangement of fire tactics could only succeed for a while. However, it was difficult to stop the attack of Hu Qi, who still had a numerical advantage. As long as the Wushi can be ruthless, they can also take advantage of the huge gap in numbers to annihilate their entire army here.
Of course, this is to say that the Chinese army does not interfere.
Wu Shi's heart sank at the same time as the fire rose, and great pain filled his chest, but he was not annoyed that he forgot the fire, because even if the gods descended to earth, they would definitely not have thought that Zhu Biao would dare to play such a trick in his own military formation. It is no wonder that the Zhou armies on both flanks arranged the formation so large with a force of less than 10,000 troops. Fang Cai himself was still complacently laughing at the stupidity of the Central Plains people, not knowing that the larger the formation, the more scattered the troops, and the greater the possibility of receiving a break, it turns out that there is such a mystery in the middle!
But there was no time to blame himself too much, and the Wu Division immediately ordered the reserve army that was still lining up to wait for the order to be killed, and these soldiers and horses were originally suppressed by the Wu Division against Zhu Biao's Chinese army. A tearing pain filled Wushi's chest, and the unbearable remorse and hatred made Wushi bite his lip, and blood quietly flowed down the corners of his mouth.
The two-fold superiority of the Hu cavalry was once again displayed at this time, and the Hu cavalry reserve army, which quickly pounced, made up for the previous losses. However, this also reduced the controllable military strength in the hands of the Wu division from more than 50,000 to less than 50,000.
In the face of Zhu Biao's 30,000-strong Chinese army, and in the face of the 20,000-strong Hedong army, this number is very dangerous. Of course Wushi knows this. So he couldn't help it, and lifted the dull scimitar and slashed forward. Whether it's dead or alive, fight again.
After fighting, at least there can be a lose-lose situation. If you can't fight, you can't fight if the stalemate continues. The horse rushed forward, pulled down the hideous beast mask, and slammed it on the horse's stock, and the painful horse shot out. With the advantage of the strength and speed of the horse under his crotch, Kurdo personally led the army to launch the first wave of attacks on Zhu Biao's Chinese army.
The heavy shield was torn apart under the fierce scimitar of the Wu Division, and as a king, the Wu Division's force was still quite good. Even a heavy shield could hardly withstand his blow. The silver wolf army behind the Wu division also imitated the heroism of the main general and swooped up, or iron spears, or scimitars, or maces. Aiming at the only barrier between the two armies, it set off wave after wave of impact**.
However, how could the combat power of the Hedong Army be comparable to that of the two wings of the Zhou army composed of a group of defeated soldiers? The Wu division launched such a fierce offensive, if it was aimed at the two wings of the Zhou army, it might be able to achieve all the results at one time. But if it is aimed at Yu Zhu Biao's Chinese army, it will be like a monstrous wave squeezing on the coastal reef, and it will only smash the former who looks magnificent.
Hu Qi was defeated, and Wu Shi's efforts were defeated.
This is a failure of unquestionable strength. When Zhu Biao's Chinese army, which only had 30,000 foot cavalry, defeated the 'Chinese army' of the Wu division without any suspense, the Hu cavalry on both wings could no longer entangle the Zhou army. They quickly drew 20,000 men to reinforce the Ukrainian division, and then dragged back the defeat of the Ukrainian division for more than an hour.
The decisive battle of the cavalry was extremely tragic, and the Hu cavalry with the heart of death broke out with unprecedented combat effectiveness, slashing with knives and axes, spears and spears, neighing horses, flying iron hooves, and a vigorous hand-to-hand combat unfolded on the white snowfield.
However, the combat power and cooperation of the Hedong Army really exceeded the Zhou Army by more than one end, and the Zhou Army before it was not incorporated into Zhu Biao's subordinates was two grades compared with the Hedong Army, and the Zhou Army under Zhu Biao was still two grades compared with the Hedong Army.
The mandarin duck array was extremely sharp, and when Hu Qi's sprint came to a standstill, they immediately ushered in death. Row after row of death!
The Eight Hundred Trap camp was a nightmare blow to Hu Qi. However, the Hu cavalry who charged the whole army under the personal leadership of the Wu Division, under the strong inspiration of the Wu Division, also showed their unyielding bloody nature without fear of death. Allowing their comrades-in-arms to be knocked off their horses by swords and guns, and nailed to the ground by flying spears and horses, they always gritted their teeth and waved their weapons desperately with red eyes, and pounced on the impact.
However, after the armored iron cavalry rushed out, the Hu cavalry, who had suffered heavy casualties, finally could not support it. Li Yan's eyes flashed with excitement and anticipation, and a trembling feeling filled his whole body, a feeling worth looking forward to and remembering forever, like seeing a roasted fragrant fat sheep in front of himself who had been hungry for a few days.
After the fierce battle until noon, Hu cavalry was defeated, and Zhu Zhong led the light cavalry to pursue. Zhu Biao stayed on the battlefield and watched the soldiers cheering after the war clean up the battlefield.
**Wan Hu Qi left half of it to sleep forever next to the Chishui River. Zhu Biao harvested nearly 50,000 intact war horses, as well as almost the same number of war horse corpses. Hu Qi, who came with three or even four horses, was completely defeated in this battle.
And how many people the remaining Hu Qi can escape under Zhu Zhong's pursuit, only God knows. (To be continued)
