Chapter 1121: Decisive Battle of Xingyang (II)

By the time the sun had risen to its highest point, the battle on the plains below had reached a fever pitch.

The Pingtian Army was like a bamboo, and it had broken through the blockade of the front army of the Vietnamese army, and hit the Chinese army like a torrent of steel.

Then the ironclad army led by Zhao Qianhui collided head-on with a heavily armored soldier and horse in the Vietnamese army.

There are no fancy or strategy, and when these two equally elite and combative armies meet head-on, there are only the simplest and most decisive fights and impacts. Look at the book

Dangdang——Boom Boom Dang

The collision of armor and armor, the clashing of weapons, the collision of shields and swords and guns, all these sounds filled the whole world, and even covered up the constant screams.

This team of the Vietnamese army was like a dike, blocking the advance path of the ironclad army, which made their momentum stop, and the momentum that had been rushing all the way was also solidified.

But even so, Zhao Qianhui and the officers and men of the army under his command did not retreat from the slightest frustration, but their fighting spirit was even higher, shouting, and constantly impacting this line of defense.

"This is the last line of defense of the Vietnamese army, as long as they break through this line, their Chinese army will collapse, and the whole battle will end with our victory!" Zhao Qianhui shouted loudly, encouraging the morale of the army.

"We are the army of the imperial court, and we are the elite of Huguang that His Majesty the Emperor trusts!" Chen Qingyun on the other side was also calmly encouraging the morale of the army, "Think about it, how did we achieve the final victory in the battle outside Xiangyang City?

"Our Majesty will definitely kill at the most critical moment, and the final victory in this battle must be ours!"

If these encouraging rhetoric were to be used by other generals against other Vietnamese troops, the effect might not be very strong.

However, when it fell into the ears of these officers and soldiers from Huguanglai, the effect was immediate, and their combat power was suddenly improved, and everyone shouted one after another, while holding their own front steadily, there was also a posture of pushing back the enemy army.

This is also the purpose of Yan Hu asking Chen Qingyun to lead the Huguang soldiers to rebuild a new defense line at this time - these tens of thousands of Huguang soldiers have all experienced it a few years ago, or they are used to hearing the story of their father and brother fighting a decisive battle with the Liangzhou army outside Xiangyang City and breaking the enemy army.

If there was any contingent in the entire Da Yue army that was least likely to be influenced by the emperor's assassination rhetoric and would not believe the rumors that the emperor had been killed, it would be this Huguang army.

In that battle a few years ago, they had the most blind confidence in His Majesty the Emperor, and they firmly believed that it would be the same today, when General Chen led them forward to fight, soon, His Majesty the Emperor in the rear would once again descend from the sky and completely defeat the enemy in front of them!

"Kill, our army will win!" In the roar, the officers and men of the Vietnamese army suddenly broke out with a huge impact far beyond the imagination of the Pingtian army, which pressed them back step by step, and the casualties continued to increase.

This made Zhao Qianhui very annoyed, and constantly led his subordinates to resist the pressure, preferring to die some soldiers and horses rather than let the enemy really push the battle line back.

At the same time, he couldn't help but encourage the whole army: "Don't worry, this is their last fight, as long as we block this round of offensive, we can achieve the final victory."

"Moreover, our Chinese army is about to be killed, and the advantage is mine!"

As he said this, the Chinese army in the rear really fulfilled the killing, and Zhao Guangxiao personally led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses mixed together, with overwhelming momentum, and launched a fierce attack on the front of the Vietnamese army on the whole front.

Under this round of attacks, even with the insistence of Huguang's soldiers, they were already a little unable to hold the defensive line, so they could only retreat slowly in order to relieve the pressure from the front.

After all, they have suffered too much in terms of troops, and they are already tired soldiers from a long battle, and when they fight with the new army, they will naturally fall below.

"General Chen, when will Your Majesty's reinforcements arrive?" A soldier couldn't help but ask.

Chen Qingyun commanded his men and horses to set up a heavy defensive line, and said with a straight face: "Come on, block another round......

Saying that, he also secretly looked back behind him, what was Yan Hu waiting for, why didn't he send troops to support?

correct

After that, he saw the rear flag waving, and a large number of soldiers and horses moved violently.

Is this finally going to mobilize all the troops and horses to help push back the enemy army?

Just when Chen Qingyun had this thought, these soldiers and horses suddenly divided left and right, and went out to kill the generals on both sides. Immediately, arrows rained down on both sides, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Only then did he react to the onslaught of enemy cavalry from both flanks......

Yes, the cavalry of the Pingtian Army had also rushed into front of the Chinese army at this time, and it seemed that they were about to carry out a division tactic, and once they succeeded in cutting the army formation, the consequences would be immeasurable.

However, Yan Hu had already made arrangements, and after putting the 20,000 cavalry into his own battle formation, he had quickly made a series of responses, and the sword and shield men in front of him set up obstacles to slow down their momentum as much as possible and hinder the possibility of their flexible turning.

Then, after limiting the mobility and impact of the cavalry, he decisively gave the order to fire ten thousand arrows.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of arrows flew towards the enemy on both sides, shooting straight at the 20,000 cavalry, even men and horses, and fell down with a scream.

and there are those who have not fallen, and many of them are wounded, and their hearts are terrified.

The momentum of rushing straight into the Chinese army's large array just now had already quickly faded, and even the main general, Luo Qin, had the idea of retreating after being hit by several arrows in the shoulder.

But at this point, how could the Vietnamese army let them retreat? They had gone too far into the enemy's ranks, their strength had worn out, and they were all wounded...... The Vietnamese army, on the other hand, waved its flag at this time, and a large number of soldiers and horses gathered and attacked from all sides, almost completely besieging the 20,000 cavalry in a small area.

When they lose their vaunted mobility, they really become live targets to be slaughtered. As the soldiers and horses continued to surround and kill, the space they could move became smaller and smaller, and the number of people became smaller and smaller, until the whole army was annihilated.

Even Luo Qin, under another round of offensive, was pierced and fell off his horse by various spears and broadswords, and died tragically at the scene.

At this time, Yan Hu quickly issued another order: "The cavalry attacked, went around from the left and right sides, cut off the enemy's rear, all the archers stepped forward, threw the enemy's rear, and the other soldiers and horses, after three rounds of arrow rain, went up with all their strength, and cooperated with the Huguang soldiers in front, I want to annihilate the enemy in front of me!"

The whining horn sounded, the flags continued to fly and dance, and suddenly, the entire contingent of the Vietnamese army had a new change.

And the biggest change came from the camp behind them.

In the originally silent camp, suddenly an elite in full armor rushed out, covering the other soldiers and horses with a shout.

At this time, the crossbowman just released three waves of arrows, which caused a large number of enemy troops to fall in front of them......
