Chapter 333: The Decisive Battle (7)
At six o'clock, the battle was far from over, and this bloody baptism of blood and fire was destined to continue, and at this time, because the Black Flag Army engaged the left guard of the Chinese army, the battlefield became more brutal.
Although preparations had been made in advance, firstly, the time was too hasty, and secondly, the strong combat power of the Black Flag Army greatly exceeded Wang Yi's expectations, and the battle between the two sides had entered the most critical stage from the beginning, and any detail could immediately determine the winner or loser.
For the Black Flag Army, their purpose is naturally to eliminate all obstacles in front of them, and plunge straight into the heart of the enemy like sharp arrows, and the left guard of the Chinese army in front of them is just a small stroke on their task list.
For Wang Yi and the left guard of the Chinese army, this battle is not only a matter of life and death, but also linked to Wang Yi's own future in military and political circles.
If this battle is lost, even if he Wang Yi can survive, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the charge of escaping from the battle and being unfavorable to the battle, and all his future will disappear immediately.
Sometimes the loss of a future is far more unacceptable than simply dying.
So although he was forced to do so, Wang Yi also showed the heart to fight this battle.
However, the development of the battle situation exceeded his expectations as always, and the Black Flag Army took the lead, relying on the strong impact force, and as soon as it came up, it caught the left guard of the Chinese army by surprise.
The three lines of defense at the front collapsed almost instantly, but fortunately, they learned from Liang Tongfang and hastily dug a few trenches behind the defense line to block the Black Flag Army's advance.
The time was too tight, the trench was not dug deeply, and it was easy to jump over it when encountering a better war horse, but it was enough for the Black Flag Army, which was heavily armoured.
It is not easy to carry at least more than 100 or 50 kilograms of people and armor back and forth, and it is too unrealistic to expect the war horse to be able to jump several battles.
Therefore, the small trench was like a moat in front of the Black Flag Army, so that they could not take a step at all.
After losing dozens of people, Jin Gui's Black Flag army immediately whistled everywhere, intending to turn back, find a new way, and bypass this line of defense.
Wang Yi took advantage of this gap and immediately dispatched troops to surround him from all directions, never allowing the Black Flag Army to maneuver easily.
Although the Black Flag Army was small in number, the last thing they were afraid of was encirclement, and since the enemy was swarming, they immediately changed the purpose of the battle and launched an offensive on the spot, intending to directly destroy the living force of the left guard of the Chinese army.
This tactic worked immediately, the Black Flag Army was not only armed to the teeth, equipped with a variety of weapons and powerful horses, but also the soldiers were also one in a million, all of them were good at fighting.
Playing against a rookie who has just been rebuilt for only two years, the verdict is made.
The Black Flag Army used the tsunami tactics to the fullest, the army was divided into pieces, and the three or five cavalry were randomly formed into groups, wreaking havoc everywhere in the local army formations, and all the combat combinations could be divided or combined, like a dagger, cutting the infantry line of the left guard of the Chinese army into pieces.
Unlike when Xu Rui faced the Black Flag Army in the Battle of Jingyang, the purpose of the 3,000 Black Flag Army at that time was to defeat the Northern Wuwei head-on, so he didn't really show the butcher's knife, so although the army formation was defeated at that time, the casualties were not as big as expected.
And this time it doesn't hurt, the Black Flag Army is just to kill, once the infantry formation is broken, the soldiers will immediately become lambs to the slaughter, messing around, and being covered up and killed on the spot by the Black Flag Army galloping everywhere.
The left guard of the Chinese army lacks a strong bow or crossbow that can break through heavy armor, and it is difficult to touch them in the face of the Black Flag Army that comes and goes like the wind, even if it is really cut, whether it is a war knife or a spear, it cannot penetrate the opponent's defense.
The only way to do this was to take the risk of crushing your bones and pull the cavalry off with a rope or simply pounce on it, and once the heavily armored cavalry lost the mobility of the horse, it would be as easy to deal with as a tin can.
However, the Black Flag Army is so old and hot, how can it not know its weaknesses?
On the contrary, under the countless war experiences, they have long had a set of effective countermeasures, and it is not impossible for the left guard of the Chinese army to pull people off the horse, but they have to pay an unimaginably painful price.
Under normal circumstances, in order to pull a black flag soldier off the horse, the left guard of the Chinese army had to lose at least thirteen or fourteen soldiers, and to break the heavy armor of the black flag soldier after dismounting, it had to take four or five lives.
A rough calculation, a Black Flag sergeant can replace nearly twenty times the number of casualties himself, how can this not make Wang Yi feel pain?
Wang Yi looked at such an unfavorable battle situation, and no one could understand the pain in his heart, this left guard of the Chinese army was the capital for him to climb up, and he cherished it more than anyone else, but now, he had no other way but to fill it with his life, because if he stopped, he would only lose even more.
At this time, Wang Yi wanted to pray that the reinforcements promised by Xiao Jinwu really existed, but he had already regarded Xiao Jinwu's words as a lie to stabilize the generals.
The fact that the current battle situation was so unfavorable and there was still no sign of reinforcements made him believe that his judgment was absolutely correct, and it was precisely because of this that the sense of despair in his heart became stronger and stronger.
On the top of the mountain, Zhang Zuofeng had a bird's-eye view of the battlefield, the left guard of the Chinese army and the Black Flag Army were only a few miles away from him, everything was clearly seen by him, and his heart was as difficult as frying.
"Handsome! The left guard of the Chinese army is about to be unable to hold on! ”
Zhang Zuofeng eagerly turned his head and called Xu Rui, and there was already a trace of crying in his tone.
Once the life-saving straw of the Chinese army's left guard really collapses, the entire battle situation will be irretrievable, even if Xu Rui is really a god, he can only cry out in vain.
However, Xu Rui didn't seem to hear his words, closed his eyes without saying a word, and his already stiff face vividly interpreted the words "expressionless".
Lin Shaodong, Cao Siyuan and Guo Shengbao stood beside Xu Rui, and they also did not speak, not even a word of comfort.
The stakes have been made clear many times before.
The Apocalypse Guard's sharp arrow only has a chance to strike, and now is not the time.
Zhang Zuofeng himself actually understood, but at this moment he was already in a mess because of Xiao Jinwu, and as his close comrade-in-arms, he could only use the last trace of reason to try to awaken his calmness.
It's just that all this is obviously in vain, Zhang Zuofeng, who has been in Hongwei for seventeen years, is still ridiculously immature, not only him, but even the other three young generals of Tianqiwei, as well as Xu Rui, the young commander, are by no means impeccable.
Perhaps it is this time and again that they have experienced the tempering of blood and fire again and again, so that they can quickly mature.
And in the center of the battle, the crisis that Xiao Jinwu had to face was far from being as simple as the sudden arrival of the Black Flag Army, just when the battle between the Black Flag Army and the left guard of the Chinese Army entered the white heat, a herald rushed into the tent in a panic.
Half an hour ago, there were a large number of casualties among the information transmission personnel required to update the battlefield dynamic map, and it was no longer possible to control the battlefield dynamics in real time, which is also one of the drawbacks of using manpower to update the battlefield dynamics.
Xiao Jinwu's gaze finally moved away from the battlefield dynamic map, looked at the herald, and said in a calm tone: "Let's talk about it, what's the bad news." ”
The herald was infected by the commander's composure, and his heart panicked a little, but when he remembered the news, his face turned pale.
"Marshal, there is an enemy army rushing towards the Chinese army, numbering about 10,000 people."
"What?!"
Yuan Shiyuan was shocked when he heard this, the current Chinese army camp is simply an empty city, and there were originally 3,000 guards from the guards, but because of the tightness of all fronts, Gao Deyong took away more than 2,000 people to rush to the front line.
At present, there are only more than 300 people left in the entire battalion, or is there a group of logistics personnel, and there are only a few people who can really fight, how can they resist this sudden arrival of 10,000 enemy troops?
"Where did they come from, where did they come from?"
Yuan Shiyuan shouted angrily.
Xiao Jinwu walked to his side, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said: "The entire front is already leaking everywhere, and it is possible to rush out of 10,000 enemies anywhere, not to mention that since the left guard of the Chinese army appeared in front of the Black Flag Army, then where do you guess their original opponent will be?" ”
"It's Wang Yi, this shit!"
Yuan Shiyuan finally came to his senses and scolded Wang Yi.
Xiao Jinwu shook his head, slowly pulled out the long knife at his waist, and walked towards the outside of the tent.
