Chapter 792: Hard Touch
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The Hedong Army went northwest and moved about five miles away. Encamp, set up!
Piles of bonfires were raised, all made of coals, arranged in a neat sequence, forming a large box.
Because the train of the Hedong Army was simply not enough to form a car city that could accommodate more than 100,000 foot riders, it was still necessary to dig up the earth and encircle the wall. And the frozen soil in winter is too hard, and the only way Zhu Biao can think of is to warm it with fire.
This can be quite large and can be done on a speed.
Eight Golden Lock Arrays, five hundred gold, it's really worth buying. If it weren't for it, Zhu Biao would have felt deep pain in today's battle.
Hu cavalry was almost 30,000 killed, the Hedong Army lost about 6,000 infantry cavalry, and more than 3,000 auxiliaries and people, all of which were worthy of the loss of the decisive battle of Uweida. The madness of 200,000 Hu riders should not be underestimated.
If it weren't for the Bamen Golden Lock Formation, the army encountered the enemy on the march, and this sharp encounter was defeated, Zhu Biao believed that his Hedong Army would not be defeated, but the losses would inevitably be much greater than the current casualties.
However, the Bamen Golden Lock Formation is not omnipotent, if Tu Qi can be more rational when he launches a general attack, not a wave of bees, but scattered in all directions, let Hu Qi attack in all directions, Zhu Biao can only let Yang Yanzhang, Hu Yanqing and Li Xian in the northwest, northeast, and southwest triangles [lack of right battalion] three infantry armies to defend in situ, east, west, north and south Zhu Zhong, Zhu Tong, Xia Yunkui, Chen Mengren four cavalry retreat accordingly, Lahu cavalry into the formation, the southeast Zhou Ziang [lack of right battalion] waiting for the opportunity to move, and then transport the formation, The four corners and four sides are changed.
It was a 'long' process, and the Hedong Army suffered losses. In particular, the losses suffered by the three infantry armies of Yang Yanzhang, Hu Yanqing, and Li Xian will be extremely greater than the current number. It's hard to say that the Hedong Infantry Army is injured in this battle!
The next day.
"Woo-woo-"
"Knock knock—"
The majestic drums of war resounded in the sky. The desolate horn sound echoed the heavens and the earth, and the flags that could almost cover the sky and the sun surged out of the Hedong Army camp like a tide, and under the guidance of countless banners, a team of soldiers and soldiers of the Hedong Army with strict armor drove out, and the iron-green armor and the red robe almost wanted to cover the withered yellow and boundless grassland.
Three thousand heavily armored sword players slowly advanced with large shields in their hands, and the three thousand heavy shields were connected into a solid shield wall, and the eyes of each Hedong sergeant showed strong self-confidence, and they firmly believed that they would win!
Two thousand crossbowmen were shattered.
Eight thousand spearmen, two thousand spearmen, and two thousand halberders. Holding sharp weapons and following the crossbowmen phalanx, the spears and halberds stood like a forest and pierced the sky, followed by five thousand foot archers, as well as some pikemen and school swordsmen, sword and axe hands and other short-bladed warriors at the back of the hall five or six thousand.
Zhu Biao's main formation was in front of the archers and behind the halberders. 1,000 personal guards and 800 warriors as his pro-army.
Under the banner of hunting and hunting. Zhu Biao wore a bright silver battle armor and a red robe, and stood slowly under the guards of Li Xian, Dou Bing, Han Gang, Han Meng and others.
The rising sun, the sun shines on the earth, shining on Zhu Biao's shining armor, and it seems that you can't see people's faces clearly from a distance.
The slightly warm sunlight did not make Zhu Biao's face have the slightest glory. There was an endless coldness on his solemn face.
The battlefield, this is the battlefield of the decisive battle!
He chose the main force of the infantry army to go into battle.
I took a deep breath and my deep eyes became sharper than ever!
The 20,000 elite cavalry on both wings were quickly displayed, all black iron armor and red Han army robes. And the sharp spear sabre! This is a well-trained and well-equipped elite.
An army of 50,000 foot cavalry gathered into a rolling iron stream and rushed forward.
More than ten miles away in front of the Hedong Army. Hu Cai, who had an even more spectacular military appearance, also lined up in a line, and rushed out in the direction of the Hedong Army array after Tu Qi's order, just like the monstrous waves rolled up in the ocean, and the sound of horses' hooves resounded wildly in the sky and the earth. As far as the eye could see, on the distant horizon, except for the white and blue sky, except for the gray-brown, it was still gray-brown, which was the color of the battle armor on Hu Qi's body.
In the sound of thunderous horses' hooves, Zhu Biao raised his right arm.
"Stop! The commander has an order, stop and line up—"
In the loud shouting, more than a dozen horsemen behind Zhu Biao galloped in all directions, and a yellow flag of "stop" was also erected next to Zhu Biao's handsome flag.
With the transmission of Zhu Biao's military order, the sound of war drums in the rear changed suddenly, and the surging 50,000 Hedong Army infantry immediately stopped their advancing footwork. Three thousand sword players were tentatively dispatched, and twelve thousand spears, spears, and halberders were rapidly spread out to the left and right, each of them pulling out a gap for one horse to advance or one person to enter and exit, and with the five thousand foot archers behind them, strode through the gap between them, and in less than a quarter of an hour, a military formation that was enough to make all the cavalry daunting stood impressively on the ground!
"Boom-"
The three thousand sword players slammed the thick shields in their hands to the ground, and a dull loud noise came out, like rolling thunder in summer, big and dull. The entire military formation was even more solemn.
With a deafening sound, five thousand foot archers stepped forward quickly. After standing up, he immediately held the longbow in his hand, and the quiver that was carried between his waist and hips was also untied one after another, and more than a dozen sharp arrows were drawn from it and stood within reach-
In the distance, in front of the Hu cavalry.
Tu Qi solemnly raised his right arm, and the more than 100,000 Hu cavalry surging behind him began to slow down and slowly spread out towards the two wings. The heads of the horses gradually lined up in a neat line, and the noisy shouts gradually stopped, leaving only the pungent sound of the horses.
The sharp sword was held in his hand, and the terrifying aura of slaughter spread in front of the two armies.
In the suffocating waiting, a Jinhuanhu general took the lead in jumping out of the formation, slamming the big knife in his hand to the top of his head, and then leading the knife to move with it, hitting the horse and rushing diagonally.
"Right wing-" Zhu Biao was not surprised, if he was Tu Qi, he would definitely send a division to watch the iron cavalry of the Hedong Army on both flanks before the battle. "It's time for the left down there—"
As soon as Zhu Biao thought of this, he saw another Jinhuan Hu general coming out of the Hu cavalry army. Like the previous person, he wielded the spear in his hand. It also led nearly 10,000 cavalry to the left flank.
Nearly 10,000 Hu cavalry, the number is wrong, and they will definitely not be the opponent of the Hedong cavalry on both wings. However, it's enough to resist a bit.
These are all expected by Zhu Biao.
"Whew-"
"Whew-"
The third gold-ringed general Hu jumped out of the battle, and in the overwhelming response, a standing army of 10,000 cavalry rode forward slowly and lined up behind General Hu.
"Kill me with me—" The Golden Ring General raised the spear in his hand and roared wildly at the sky.
"Kill—" The 10,000 standing Hu cavalry behind him also let out an earth-shattering roar. Then he followed closely behind the commander of the ten thousand horses, looking at the mighty and majestic Hedong Army array and rushing straight over.
"Hmmm! What's going on? ”
Zhu Biao's thick eyebrows were broken together in an instant, Tu Qi actually only sent 10,000 cavalry to charge, what did he want to do? Self-destruction?
You must know that although 10,000 Hu cavalry is a lot, it may not be able to withstand the three salvos of 7,000 crossbowmen, but there are 1,000 crossbowmen. Do you still want to use this kind of Cheng dù impact to test it? What tricks does Tu Qi, the Captain Zuo who is only in the royal court, want to play?
"Tu Qi can't be crazy, right?" Li Xian couldn't believe what he saw, "This is 10,000 horses-"
"Great. General Li, look behind them, there is another wave of 10,000 horsemen-" Dou Bing held the clairvoyant mirror and observed for a long time, and finally determined the number of the next wave.
Zhu Biao and Li Xian immediately looked at it when they heard the sound, and through the rushing Hu Qi, they could vaguely see another team of people and horses. But the number is uncertain. "Does Tu Qi want to rely on continuous charges to wear down the will and body of our army, and finally disintegrate the military spirit of our army?" Li Xian felt that what he said was somewhat reliable.
Zhu Biao and others on the side all showed expressions of approval.
Looking at the rushing Hu Cai, Dou Bing sneered disdainfully, "This little means is okay to deal with the rabble." I want to use it against our army, it's too pediatric. They are looking for death. ”
"Command the two wings. Each of them strengthened their vigilance, and they must not act without permission under the orders of the commander. Zhu Biao said coldly, but he really didn't worry about the wings. The tough face was dripping with murderous intent, "Shoot with all your might." The back formation surged forward and tightened the formation. ”
Bump into it, hit it hard, come hard when it's hard. Let's see who can survive whom! See who can make it to the end.
The distance of more than ten miles is too small for the sprinting war horse, and in a moment, Hu Qi has already rushed to within three hundred steps. The fierce and vicious faces have already met the eyes of the soldiers of the Hedong Army.
"Anger-" I don't know when, Yang Yanzhang has already come to the front of the formation. The spear was raised high, the sharp tip of the spear stabbed obliquely into the air, and he swung it down fiercely in the direction of Hu Qi.
"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-"
Yang Yanzhang gave an order, and the piercing sound of breaking the air immediately sounded. Two thousand crossbowmen, one thousand people in a column, shot back and forth, batch after batch of black arrows, like startled locusts, flew up from the Hedong army formation, gathered in the air into a dense rain of arrows, and shot down overwhelmingly towards the galloping horsemen. In an instant, the swarming Hu cavalry turned over on their backs, and the wails of the warriors and the sorrow of the war horses were immediately intertwined.
Compared with the previous battle, Hu Cai's equipment has improved, and many of them have put on double armor and a shield. It's not a round shield, it's a defensive shield made last night.
Of course, there can't be any quality, and some of it is just a big wooden card. The outside is covered with a layer of raw cowhide, and the crossbow arrows that shoot straight can shoot through it lightly.
A horseman was galloping wildly, and the wooden shield held high above his head had already hit three crossbow arrows, but fortunately although two of the three crossbow arrows had penetrated the wooden shield, they did not hurt the left hand and arm that held the handle.
Again and again, luck does not last long to love someone. A crossbow bolt pierced the heart of the shield, and the sharp arrow lightly broke through the raw cowhide and wooden obstruction and pierced out, opening a thumb-thick hole in the back of the horseman's hand, and the bloody flesh was torn up by the shaft of the arrow, which made people look miserable.
A painful wail came out of the horseman's mouth, and his left hand couldn't help but open his five fingers in severe pain. In a subconscious reaction, he retracted his injured left hand in front of his eyes, and before he could take a second look, another crossbow shot down. Through the neck of the entire war horse. The yellow horse neighed, shaking its head desperately, but it couldn't stop the footsteps of death. Weakly kneeling to the ground, the whole person of the Hu cavalry on horseback was passed into the air, and before the cavalry could land in mid-air, the two crossbow arrows had already sunk into his chest.
Such images emerge all the time!
On the wide battlefield, the fearless charge of the Hu cavalry brought out a real road to the sea of blood, the road to death.
The gold-ringed general who rushed to the front, a spear flew as hard as he could, and lightly swept away the dozen or so crossbow arrows that fell along the way. The shield in his hand shields the men and horses. With one or two missing, General Hu only twisted his body, and the fine and sturdy armor had already blocked the path of the arrows.
Closer, the Hedong Army is in front of you. Jinhuan Hu looked back in excitement, and was about to raise his arms and shout, only to find that the warriors behind him were still suffering in the rain of arrows, and they fell off their horses one after another!
"Ah—— "Jinhuan Hu is like a wounded wolf. Yang Tian let out a terrible roar, and his eyes, which were originally full of excitement, were quickly dyed with a thick layer of blood red.
The whole person is a monstrous beast that has gone berserk.
"Ho-" The spear stabbed, and General Jinhuanhu threw aside the first one and rushed into the battle formation of the Hedong Army, which had been waiting for a long time.
He easily picked off the three stabbing spears, and then stabbed the sharp spear in his hand fiercely on the shield in front of him.
"Poof-" Even if he defeated the wood, the solid thick shield could not stop Hu Jiang's crazy blow with horsepower. The sharp spear continued to stab forward, and only after it had sunk into the chest of a man did it slam upward—
A wide shield. Coupled with a knife player wearing heavy armor, the weight of two hundred and thirty and fifty catties was easily picked up by General Hu, and then the corpse flew out sideways like garbage.
No doubt knocked down another shield.
The pikemen behind the shield, connecting the first and second columns of the Hedong Army, are not only in depth. There is also horizontal, and the Hedong soldiers on both sides of the entry point that General Hu rushed to were also affected.
"Herod—"
The war horse stood up half-upright. With the spear in Hu Jiang's hand centered on itself, it swept out like a whirlwind.
Several streaks of blood splashed in mid-air, and although the surrounding Hedong soldiers were brave in the world, their strength was not comparable to that of Jinhuan Hu in the future. After receiving a blow at the beginning, before he could adjust and then attack in a group, the second blow came again.
The hooves landed and stomped on the back of a spearman who had not yet turned over, and the piercing screams and crisp creaks of broken bones reached his ears from the ground, making the blood-obsessed Hu Jiang's eyes red-eyed like a fairy sound.
"Oh-"
General Hu shouted excitedly, spears flew up and down, and the lives of the non-stop reaper river army sergeants were constantly expanding the entry point he had hit.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Yang Yanzhang roared angrily.
However, if you want to prevent the enemy from continuing to expand the results in a certain gap on the battlefield, the first thing is to block their backup first.
Yang Yanzhang did not guide the bow and crossbow to shoot the golden ring general at the first time, but instructed the foot archers to hurry up the throwing.
"Whoosh-"
Another rain of arrows fell from the sky.
The sound of sharp arrows entering the flesh resounded behind General Hu, and hundreds of sharp arrows shot at each other, instantly emptying a small piece of Hu Qi behind General Hu.
It's a pity that a distance of several tens of paces was too short for a cavalryman.
Not to mention the white horse passing through the gap, it is also a flick of a finger. "Kill—" Countless Hu cavalry shot with seven thousand bows and crossbows, and many of them still rushed in front of the Hedong army. The first wave of flesh and steel of today's battle was launched on the entire front.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the screams were like magic sounds in the ears, making people tremble.
"Attack-" The breakthrough of the first wave of the offensive made Tu Qi, Luan Tihou, and U Wei, who were watching the formation in the rear, very excited, and thought that they had a plan in their hearts, and immediately named the Hu generals of the second wave of the offensive after the front offensive slowed down.
"Kill-" General Hu, who was already in power, immediately roared when he heard it, raised the mace in his hand and waved it forward, "Immortal Warrior, rush with me-"
Tens of thousands of Hu cavalry once again swept wildly like a flood that burst the embankment, rushing towards the Hedong Army's large array several miles away. Yes, a few miles, only five miles more. Tu Qi's army had already approached this point.
"Brothers, follow me—" At the same time as the second wave of Hu Qi's offensive swept over, the roaring thunderous sound of horses' hooves also sounded from the two flanks of the Hedong Army, and Zhu Zhong and Zhu Tong attacked for the first time.
"Whoosh-" A rain of arrows rose from the evacuated cavalry group. Erzhu's cavalry are all elite divisions of the Hedong Army, and there are many of them who are good at riding and shooting.
"Kill, Dahu's warriors, kill, ......" The two winged Hu cavalry blocked head-on.
"Woo woo woo-" A heavy horn sounded from the Hu cavalry, which was the signal for the Hu cavalry to withdraw, the second wave of the Hu cavalry was charging, and the first wave of the Hu cavalry should also move to the sides accordingly, making way for another wave of comrades who embarked on the road of charging.
"Withdraw, quickly withdraw—" If you stay for a minute longer, more people will die, and the Jinhuan Hu general is not willing to let his men die under the hooves of the horses of the same clan Hu Qi, and when he saw that the horn was blowing in the rear, he immediately gave the order to retreat.
"Bell bell-" Wielding his spear and easily pushing away the few sharp arrows that came from him, General Hu carefully controlled the war horse, and slowly, slowly slid towards the flank of the rear of the Hedong Army.
For the troops, the general headed by him is a banner that guides the direction, and General Hu rides his horse down obliquely, and the remaining Hu cavalry behind him naturally follows suit. The whole army was like a giant beast wagging its tail back and forth, sliding in a perfect arc in front of the rear of the Hedong Army-
There was no real intersection of swords and guns, just a rain of arrows.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile rose at the corners of Yang Yanzhang's mouth. In the first wave of collisions, except for a few small flaws, the former army was perfect.
At least sixty percent of the tens of thousands of Hu cavalry fell in front of the formation.
"Front-line generals, quick alternates, hurry up-"
However, the front of the first few columns was finally charged by the Hu cavalry, and many of the soldiers were incomplete, and if the soldiers were to be supplemented at this moment, not only would the strength of the soldiers in the front line be uneven, but also the time would be somewhat scarce. Naturally, it is better to alternate the whole column, the first two columns of officers and soldiers retreat as a whole to rest, and the last two columns come forward to replace. (To be continued)
