Chapter 347 The Husband is a True Hero (4)
There were no more oncoming enemy cavalry in front of him, and when his vision suddenly opened up, Chen Yi, whose eyes were blood-red, realized that he had led his troops to kill through the Beihu cavalry battle formation.
The sky is not clear, the four fields are still dark, not far ahead, the torches on the wall of Xihe City, outlining the outline of the side of the military city, the arrow towers are numerous, and the city towers are towering.
There were many scattered torches under their feet, a few of them extinguished in pools of blood, intertwined with corpses and blades, and most of them were still burning, illuminating the ranks of the cavalry.
Breaking away from the battle formation, his mind was dashed by blood and fighting spirit, and finally had a chance to calm down a little, Chen Yi and Fang Moyuan, the third master of Yipinlou, glanced at each other, and a huge sense of surprise and pride surged in their hearts.
They killed the invincible Beihu elite cavalry in Hebei!
For the Great Qi Wang Division south of the Yellow River, this is an unprecedented battle situation, and it is worthy of every soldier's pride!
For a moment, Chen Yi and Fang Moyuan felt that they were extremely tall, and their mood was as happy as a spring breeze. He suddenly had a lot of pride, he wanted to take the troops behind him, turn a big bend and kill back, and together with 40,000 comrades, completely annihilate the more than 10,000 Northern Hu Jing Cavalry!
At that time, he and the Yunzhou army will completely defeat this Beihu vanguard army, recover Xihe City, reorganize the defense line of Xihe City, and make the Yunzhou Theater once again become a strong barrier, which will undoubtedly have an extremely beneficial and far-reaching impact on the overall situation of the national war.
As long as they can win, the exploits of this battle will definitely reach the heavens, and even shake the government and the opposition of Great Qi, they will become famous in all directions, boost the morale of the kings who are fighting everywhere, gain the respect of all Qi people, and become the heroes of Great Qi!
It's such a wonderful feeling, it's like leaving the world and going to a fairyland.
Although their 40,000 cavalry were miscellaneous soldiers who had just entered the battlefield, the troops of Chen Yi, Fang Moyuan and others were extraordinary. Moreover, there are too few cavalry in the Beihu vanguard army, which is an important reason why they can break the formation and defeat the enemy.
But this feeling only lasted for a short time.
A shouting order came suddenly, like a morning bell and a dusk drum, which shook their hearts: "There is a large formation of the Northern Hu infantry army in front, and there is a horse trap in front of the formation, and there are thistles terrestris. Hugh wants to turn back, Hugh hesitates, all the way forward, and kills through the opponent's infantry battle array!"
This was Zhao Ning's voice, and Chen Yi, Fang Moyuan and others heard it clearly.
In order to concentrate on dealing with Zhao Ning, Borshu himself left the command position of the army, and had to let Mu Hehua command the three armies instead of him, and Zhao Ning was still able to pay attention to the ground battlefield in the fierce battle with Borshu and others, and issued combat orders in time at a critical moment!
Chen Yi's nerves tightened, and he habitually wanted to raise his head and look at Zhao Ning's location.
But before that, he was attracted by a thick line of fire on the ground in front of him.
This line of fire had just been ignited, and the smell of burning grease and firewood was very pungent, spreading out hundreds of steps from side to side, with almost no end in sight, and the width was limited, just one step.
If this is a blockade, it is too ridiculous, not to say that it is not an obstacle to the war horses, and the foot soldiers can cross it at once.
But when Chen Yi saw this line of fire, his hair suddenly stood on end, and his scalp seemed to explode.
After being taught the art of war by Zhao Ning for many years, and training with his troops outside Yunzhou City for several months, Chen Yi did not lack common sense on the battlefield, and he realized the role of this line of fire at the first time.
If it's daylight, this line of fire is where the arrow is located.
Crossing this line of fire means that the cavalry has entered the large array of the Beihu Infantry Army, and the bow and crossbow shooting range!
And by this time, they have already crossed this line of fire!
When the cavalry hedged, the speed will be increased to the extreme, they have just come out of the Beihu cavalry queue, the horse speed is very fast, this hidden behind the Beihu cavalry formation, just ignited the line of fire, they didn't see it before, just rushed out of the Beihu cavalry battle formation at this moment, a few breaths rushed through the line of fire, there is no reaction time at all.
Chen Yi saw the large formation of the Beihu infantry army.
Prior to this, the large infantry formation arranged behind the cavalry formation, because there were no torches, was completely hidden in the night, Mo said that they couldn't see it, and when the other party deliberately covered up the traces, even the Wang Extreme Realm cultivators in mid-air didn't notice it!
This is also because when Wang Jijing was still far away from here, he was intercepted by Borshu and others, and the two sides fell into a fierce fight.
At this moment, the large array of the Beihu infantry army lit the torches, and the number of people exceeded 10,000, boundless, and the large array composed of 20,000 or 30,000 foot soldiers was particularly thick and broad and strong and mysterious against the backdrop of the dim lights.
They looked impregnable with their backs to the walls of the West River, they had waited in the dark for a long time, and now, they showed their hideous fangs.
In the face of danger, people have to react, it can be completed in an instant, and if you want to react on a horse, it is just to hold the reins of the horse, as long as the riding skills are good enough, and the war horse is skillful enough, you can stand in place in the blink of an eye.
But tens of thousands of cavalrymen who were charging rapidly were absolutely impossible to stop in an instant.
Slowing down the speed of the horse is an overall gradual process, if the front line suddenly reins in the reins of the horse, the people behind will not be able to cope at all, and it will only cause the cavalry to collide with each other, trample on each other, and the formation will be chaotic, and it will collapse without a fight.
Even if it is a big turn, you have to make a big curve with a smooth arc, which requires a wide space.
However, the arrangement and cooperation of the two formations of the Beihu infantry and cavalry will obviously not give the Yunzhou Army this place to move and transfer.
When he saw the trembling Beihu infantry army's large array, Chen Yi also saw the horse trap not far ahead!
The distance between them was too close, and it was impossible for the 40,000 horse army to stop before the horse pit, and it was impossible to let the cavalry divert left and right in such a small space.
Chen Yi's heart sank to the bottom.
At this time, where could he still realize that the battle formation of the Beihu Bu and the cavalry army was a clever arrangement in advance.
If the Beihu army wants to hold the city, the most secure tactic is to shrink the forces and defend all in the city, and the Yunzhou army is all cavalry, and it will not be able to attack at all.
When they saw the Beihu cavalry battle array, Chen Yi and the others thought that Borshu was relying on their cavalry elite, and came out to fight with them for a while, seeking to defeat them, and the infantry army would still defend the city.
In this case, if you kill through the Beihu cavalry battle formation, you will come to the front of Xihe City, and the Yunzhou army will have enough space to turn, or rein in the reins.
Unexpectedly, the large array of the Beihu infantry army was placed in front of the city, which made them collide head-on!
After rushing through the line of fire, while seeing the scene in front of him clearly, he had already heard the muffled sound of the bowstring that was tooth-souring and breathtaking.
The sound of Qi brushing converged in one place, the sound was very loud, followed by the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air, through the light of the torches of the opponent's formation, he saw the dark clouds and black shadows rising up, it was a rain of arrows!
The rain of arrows slashed through the air in a perfect arc and shot down on them!
Forward is a trap, backward is impossible, even if it is in place, it will be covered by a rain of arrows.
The Yunzhou army has fallen into a life-and-death dilemma!
All of this is because when Borshu was arranging the troops, the unexpected concession army also went into battle, and the cover effect of the night was brought into full play.
The arrows were in front of him, and there was the power of a violent storm, and there were clanging crashes behind him, and muffled snorts, screams, and falling horses suddenly came and went.
The rune hit the rune armor, although it did not break the armor, the impact force also made Chen Yi's body hurt, and although the war horse under the seat also had defensive equipment, it also let out a wail.
The mind that had just cleared up a little was once again filled with anger and fighting spirit by the blood at this moment, and various emotions such as fear, panic, and hesitation were washed away by the blood that poured into the brain.
Chen Yiman's mind only remembered one thing again.
That was the military order that Zhao Ning had just given him.
He raised his horse lance and erupted in a hysterical yell: "Forward, kill!"
......
Seeing that the Yunzhou army was covered by a rain of arrows, the original formation was quite neat, and in an instant, people turned on their backs, revealing many blanks, Mu Hehua breathed a long sigh of relief.
At this time, the Yunzhou army has fallen into a desperate situation, and the next step is the killing moment of the infantry army's big array, as long as the opponent's formation is chaotic, the victory will belong to them.
In tonight's battle, the reason why Borshu chose such a formation method is not to defend Xihe City, but to completely defeat the attacking Yunzhou army!
Before the war, their judgment of the Yunzhou army was that it was a weak brigade, in this case, how could the Beihu army, which prides itself on being the elite soldiers of a hundred battles, shrink into defense?
The army of the royal court crisscrossed the north of the desert, relying on seizing every opportunity to attack. Only by attacking can we play a piece of the world and create the current achievements of the royal court!
After eating this rushing Yunzhou army, the Yunzhou army will be empty, and the city of Yunzhou will become a bag, and they will be able to break the record of Zhao Ning and the Zhao clan being invincible in the national war, which will be of great benefit to the entire war situation.
From this point of view, the method of arranging the formation of Borshu is fully justified, and all the soldiers have been informed of this.
But Mu Hehua knew that Borshu was actually a helpless choice to arrange the formation like this, because there was no second method of battle tonight.
Beihu has more than 40,000 foot cavalry, and it is true that he can defend the city and let the 40,000 horse army in Yunzhou take them, but what about after that?
These 40,000 horsemen will besiege the city.
The main force besieged the city, and the partial division swept the two flanks of the military forts, and recaptured the naval warships that had been controlled by them.
In this way, the Beihu Buqi in Xihe City became a Jedi lonely, and there was no way to retreat.
The biggest problem faced by the Beihu vanguard army was that it would take four days for their main reinforcements to be fully in place, and even if they could speed up the process by hurrying day and night, it would take three or two days to enter Xihe City.
And Yunzhou City is only forty or fifty miles away from Xihe City, and the opponent's infantry army can reach it first, and then they can besiege the city while blocking the riverbank, and take advantage of the Beihu army to cross the river halfway and attack it, taking advantage of it.
At that time, if the army in the city wants to break through the encirclement and kill out, it will face a superior force that is strictly organized, and the cavalry may be able to break through the encirclement, but what about the infantry army? How to successfully get out of the siege of the Yunzhou horse army?
Even if you can break through, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses, so it is better to choose tonight's tactics, wait for work, set traps, give full play to ten percent of your combat power, and fight head-on with the opponent's 40,000 horse army.
During the day, when Borshu ordered the vanguard army to rush to attack Yunzhou City, Mu Hehua did not think of this situation at all.
But if the vanguard army does not act, in the case that their main direction of attack has been exposed, and Zhao Ning has already come to Yunzhou, the Yunzhou theater will rely on the originally strong defense line, and it will become extremely difficult to capture.
In other words, after Daqi realized that their real main direction of attack was actually Yunzhou, and Zhao Ning came in time to save Sun Kang and others, causing the Wang Jijing cultivators under the command of Borshu to have no advantage, the battle situation had deteriorated under the situation of Zhao Ning presiding over the Yunzhou Theater.
From that moment on, the Beihu army reached a crossroads and had to make a choice.
