Chapter 316: With and Without a Hat (Second Year Plus Change)
Liu Gui finally broke up the front phalanx, but there was a small slope in front of him.
He jumped off his horse with great effort and crossed the slope.
Hiss, gasped.
On the other side of the slope, the rebels had a long row of bees.
At this time, the official cavalry had just rushed away from the phalanx in front of the rebels, but they didn't expect a big gift to be prepared for him later.
"Put" someone on the other side shouted.
Boom, a large number of flames ignited.
Then there was a whoosh, the sky was full of flames, and dense rockets were fired at the officers and cavalry.
"Ahh
Liu Gui's cavalry was already struggling in this terrain, and finally killed a wave of rebels under the rain of arrows from the other side, but he didn't expect to be hit hard.
This wave of Liu Gui's cavalry scurried with their heads in their arms, and the fallen war horses filled a depression.
At this time, it was impossible for the cavalry behind to rush up on horseback, so they could only dismount and walk.
"Kill, the King of Han will win." Someone on the other side yelled.
"Victory." Tides of pikemen rushed down the high slopes.
There was a crackling, but there were still arrows in the air.
The officers and soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, the horses screamed, and the sergeants cried.
Liu Gui's face turned pale as he watched the rebels swarming up, he turned around and wanted to lead his horse, but found that his horse had been hit by several arrows and had fallen to the ground.
"Defeated, defeated, general, retreat." A thousand households cried and ran to him: "This can't be attacked, it's not good for our cavalry, who will let it attack." ”
Liu Gui looked up blankly and looked around, he rushed up with more than 10,000 cavalry, scattering the opponent's four or five thousand infantry, but he also lost four or five thousand cavalry, almost one-third.
The cavalry changed the infantry one to one, this was a fiasco, the key was that the other party was just scattered, and there were definitely not as many people who actually fell.
At this time, under the counterattack of the rebels, the cavalry in front kept falling to the ground.
The morale of the rebels was like a rainbow, and the officers and troops were defeated and retreated.
But the ground was full of horses and corpses, as well as wounded, and it was inconvenient for the cavalry to retreat on their horses.
Many people had no choice but to jump off their horses, throw their horses and run back.
"Retreat." Liu Gui gritted his teeth and said this word.
When the officers and soldiers heard the order to retreat, they ran back even more desperately, and the retreat suddenly turned into a rout, and the rebels took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill.
Later, He Fu saw that the official cavalry came back from a fiasco, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, but fortunately, his main henchmen were basically gone.
But I still feel sorry for everyone in my heart.
He quickly turned his head to see that the officers and rebels in other directions were fighting inextricably, and it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.
It wasn't time yet, he thought to himself.
Acting should be realistic, Zhu Di is not a good thing, if he sees it, Lao Tzu's whole family will be unlucky.
——
Boom, boom, boom.
On the frontal battlefield, several shells fell into Zhang Wu's formation.
Zhang Wu wiped the ashes on his face with a dirty face, his eyes were full of anger and even horror.
After the two sides took over, the rebel artillery did not stop, and both sides were shelling, but the rebel artillery was numerous and fierce, and Zhang Wu was bitter about the fighting.
The key is that this is too demoralizing, and Zhang Wu's forward has already had three phalanxes destroyed by the opponent's artillery.
The situation was already very bad, the other side advanced layer by layer, with artillery and arrows, and Zhang Wu's soldiers and horses retreated one after another.
Zhang Wu found that the other party had more arrows and more cannons than him, which was really aggrieved.
"Come up, come up, come up." At this time, someone behind him said in ecstasy.
It turned out that Song Sheng saw that he couldn't stand it, so he sent 30,000 fresh troops to him, including 10,000 cavalry.
"Whose soldiers and horses are they?" Zhang Wu turned around and asked.
"Qu Neng's Sichuan Army."
"What?" Zhang Wu was stunned, he was not optimistic about Qu Neng.
"Qu Neng didn't go up, Xining Hou said, the soldiers and horses are under the command of the general." Subordinates said.
"Okay, Xining Hou is doing well." Zhang Wu was overjoyed, Xining Hou obviously didn't trust Qu Neng because of the previous fiasco, and after dispatching Qu Neng's troops to come immediately, he didn't let Qu Neng come up.
In this way, the soldiers and horses were under the command of Zhang Wu.
"Let the Sichuan army attack from the east flank, and you give up the east flank."
"Wow" subordinates immediately went back to give orders.
At this time, Yu Tongyuan was slowly moving forward with the Sichuan Army.
There are a large number of thousands of households gathered around him, all of whom are military generals who have participated in the Jingjing martyrdom.
"Where is Zhang Wu?" Yu Tongyuan asked.
Thousands of households responded: "Zhang Wu is very timid at the end of his formation." ”
There was laughter all around.
Yu Tongyuan came from the Chinese army, just in time to get close to Zhang Wu's rear formation.
"Pass the order, everyone will act according to the plan, and I will take off my hat in a while, and you will all let the brothers take off their hats." Yu Tongyuan said: "As soon as I make a move in a while, you will do it, and then shout, the official army is defeated, it is better to surrender the King of Han." ”
It is obviously not safe to take off your hat on the battlefield, but it is also the fastest way to distinguish between friend and foe.
"Wow," these generals showed joy on their faces.
Since the Han Dynasty raised his troops, he first increased the salaries of the military households everywhere he went, and the Sichuan army was also clear.
The soldiers added at least five dollars per month each, and there were more and more small flags.
One thousand households can be doubled.
Of course, everyone followed King Han.
"Let's go." Yu Tongyuan waved his hand and ran towards Zhang Wu with a force of cavalry.
His men immediately scattered and returned to their camps.
As soon as a hundred households returned to their formation, they scolded loudly: "The salary is so low, but you have to fight desperately. ”
The sergeants all looked around.
On the side, the general flag said loudly: "I heard that the King of Han is paying double salaries? ”
"King Han also re-divides the field." Baihu said: "Tui, how to fight this battle?" ”
"The court is really slamming the door, sending such a point, let us work hard."
All around are the henchmen of these hundred households talking.
The sergeants listened silently.
Originally, everyone had a lot of strength to move forward, but now it seems that there is no strength in their feet when they hear this.
Almost at the same time, the soldiers and horses of the Sichuan Xingdu Division brought up by Yu Tongyuan, each battalion and each phalanx, some people said that the king of Han paid a high salary.
The war between the two armies was imminent, but such remarks were spread in the battalion, and some Sichuan troops already felt that something was wrong.
The battlefield in front was full of soldiers and horses, and in the middle of the front was a phalanx of infantry battalions, Yu Tongyuan suddenly led a group of cavalry over, and it suddenly became very prominent.
They kept shouting at the infantry battalion in front: "Get out of the way, get out of the way." ”
The foot campers scolded one after another, but they had no choice but to separate and make their debut.
The various formations of the official army infantry camp were originally very strict, but now Yu Tongyuan swept through the middle with 10,000 horsemen, and immediately stirred up the neat infantry camp of the official army like a-stirring stick.
Zhang Wuzheng looked at the battle ahead, and felt that the situation was not good, the rebel artillery was too fierce, and there were more than a dozen rounds of continuous bombardment in front, almost breaking the officers and soldiers, but fortunately, the artillery needed to rest, and they were resting during this time, and when the rebel artillery sounded again, they were afraid that they would not be able to withstand it.
At this moment, he suddenly heard movement behind him, and when he looked back, he saw a large force of cavalry coming behind him, and the infantry battalion of officers and soldiers in the middle of the rush was scattered.
"What, whose soldiers and horses are they?" Zhang Wu was furious.
There are humanitarians, it is the Sichuan army, Qu Neng's soldiers and horses, who came up to support.
"Bastard." Zhang Wu said angrily: "I haven't let him come up yet, let their cavalry gather at the southwest side and stand by." ”
"Whoa."
"Let them follow the infantry camp to the northwest, assemble at the lower side of the flank, and stand by."
"Whoa."
After Zhang Wu gave the order, he watched the herald run out, but after waiting for a while, suddenly, there was a heavy sound of horses' hooves behind him.
When he looked back, he was almost dizzy, but Qu Neng's cavalry still came up.
"This dog thing, who led the troops, Lao Tzu is going to cut him." Zhang Wu was furious.
At this time, Yu Tongyuan was less than a hundred steps away from Zhang Wu, and his large force of cavalry was running around in the middle of the official infantry camp, stirring up the chaos of the various camps of the officers and soldiers, and scolding his mother everywhere.
Yu Tongyuan was riding on a horse, looking left and right, they still had 20,000 foot battalions, and they were coming from behind, and he suddenly took off the hat on his head: "Take off the hat." ”
Then he turned his head and yelled, and the generals around him took off their hats one after another.
And shouted in the back: "Take off your hat, take off your hat." ”
The Sichuan soldiers didn't know what was going on, but everyone still took off their hats one after another according to the requirements of the officials.
Because in order to keep it secret before, most of the Sichuan army did not know that they were going to fight in front of the battle, and at this time, a group of thousands of households, command-level generals began to run back, shouting while running: "King Ming has no way, we have to follow the King of Han, follow the King of Han, increase the salary and promotion, and win all battles." ”
"Brother, the official army has been defeated, and the king of Han has been surrendered."
At the scene, some high-ranking generals took the lead and shouted, and the Sichuan army was blind.
But before they could react, Yu Tongyuan gave an order with hundreds of henchmen: "Chong, slaughter this dog thing." ”
Crackling, the Sichuan cavalry first shot an arrow at Zhang Wu's side, and then rushed up, and hundreds of horsemen rushed straight over.
The scene was in chaos.
At this time, it was no longer a question of whether the Sichuan army wanted to fight back, and as soon as Yu Tongyuan's henchmen made a move, the surrounding officials and troops immediately counterattacked.
There was shouting on both sides.
This side is called to follow the Han King to be promoted, and the other side is calling the Sichuan army to rebel.
In addition, all the Sichuan troops took off their hats, and the two sides immediately fell into a melee, and those with hats did not have hats together.
The scene was very chaotic, some Sichuan troops may not want to rebel, but at this time it was too chaotic, other officers and soldiers thought they were opposed, after all, Yu Tongyuan made the first move, and everyone besieged the Sichuan army, and the Sichuan army that did not want to rebel could only counterattack.
Qu Neng's hands can control no more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in Sichuan, but the total number of officers and troops is only more than 200,000, which is equivalent to a fifth of a rebellion ago.
There is no battle in history that can remain undefeated before so many soldiers and horses have fought back.
The confusion began with Yu Tongyuan's front, and then spread to the entire Sichuan cavalry array, and then the infantry battalions of the Sichuan army were also besieged, because they all took off their hats, which was obviously different from the other officers and soldiers.
The 30,000 Sichuan army was between the official army and the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the forward Zhang Wu, forming a state of dog-tooth interlacing with the official army.
But Yu Tongyuan deliberately rampage with the cavalry before, stirring up the camp of the official army, which will suddenly attack, many official and military arrays were divided into two halves by them, and in a short period of time, the Sichuan army actually gained the upper hand, and the officers and troops who fought were defeated and retreated, and fled in all directions.
Yu Tongyuan desperately rushed in front of Zhang Wu with a group of cronies, and the successor Sichuan army could only follow.
All around were shouts of killing and surrender: "The official army is defeated, and the king of Han has been surrendered." ”
"The official army has been defeated, and the king of Han has been surrendered."
