Chapter 452: Grace
But Lejin's plan fell through.
In just a few moments, the Han army on the opposite side collapsed. Without the restraint of sufficient military officers, the Han army could not withstand the intensity of the battle at all.
As soon as he saw the friendly troops behind him running, he also ran, even if some loyal and brave people wanted to fight, they had no choice but to retreat because they could not get the support of the friendly forces.
Lejin's subordinates collapsed directly when they saw the opposite side, and they pursued frantically.
But soon, Lejin's drummer sounded three golden gongs, and the pursuit was expressly forbidden.
Although Le Jin also regretted that he missed the Han army on the opposite side, he had always been cautious and thought that the pursuit was a very dangerous thing in this situation.
Moreover, this slope is not conducive to pursuit, it is wet and difficult to walk, and if you slip and fall during the pursuit, you may lose your life.
However, because of Lejin's caution, Xu Rongbu's retreat was much more stable.
At this time, Xu Ronggang fell, and when he was pulled up by the soldiers, he was covered in mud, and even his beautiful beard was covered with mud.
With the support of his soldiers, he withdrew to the northern slope one foot deep and one foot shallow, where there were 2,000 men of his colleague Captain Hu Wuhuan in the middle of Sima Xingju.
There, Xu Rong regrouped with the remnants of his army, preparing to defend this second front.
There were also some remnants who failed to catch up with Xu Rong and were not willing to stay on the battlefield to die, so they had to move east to avoid the Taishan soldiers coming up below.
There, they were sheltered by friendly forces that had moved forward, and began to regroup.
Then, in this way, amid the still roaring war drums, Le Jin led his subordinates to continue to advance, preparing to defeat the criminal punishment department in front of him.
But at this moment, this slope of the central battlefield began to shake.
Le Jin, who came out of the assault riding system, naturally knew what kind of voice it was, and hurriedly shouted:
"Array."
At this moment, all the officials of the Iron Cavalry should be grateful to Le Jin for his caution, if he didn't give up the pursuit, they would be finished at this moment.
Under the nervous gaze of the iron cavalry soldiers, a cavalry army wrapped in iron armor suddenly jumped out from behind the slope, first a few, then a little, and finally a dense cavalry, rushing down the slope in a row.
Judging from the banner and the knight's attire, this is the Wuhuan Raider of the Wuhuan Lieutenant Gong Qi.
At the same time as the defeat of the middle route army, Lu Zhi on the slope had already made a decision. In order to support the Wei Duanzhong army, which was about to collapse, Lu Zhi sent the elite cavalry under his tent, the Wuhuan Raid Cavalry.
The sudden appearance of the Wuhuan Tuqi naturally broke Le Jin's next pursuit.
In the face of the rushing beard people, Le Jin was full of anger. The Han family relied too heavily on these Hu people, so much so that they let these people bring disaster to China.
When he was in the north of the Chinese army before, he saw that many Lishe settlements along the road were slaughtered by these Hu people.
was going to settle accounts with these Hu people, but now they dare to take away the military merits that he is happy to have. Can this be endured?
Lejin can't bear it.
So after he finished organizing the formation, Le Jin took the initiative to meet the soldiers with his soldiers.
Le Jin was not tall, jumping left and right in the gap between the Wuhuan Sudden Ride, and in an instant, he dropped the three of them, and then turned back in a flutter.
But that's it.
Lejin's personal martial arts are indeed extraordinary, and the iron cavalry of his department is indeed timely in defense. But I'm sorry, your Taishan army is from east to west, lined up in a seven-sided phalanx, each as you are happy?
The Wuhuan Turks did the same. They did not choose to attack the well-organized Lejin Division, but chose the other side, the formation was quite scattered Yu Poison's trapping camp.
When the high-headed horse that sprinted at high speed carried the Wuhuan warrior with various bones and iron blades in his hands, he ruthlessly crashed into the trapping camp, and the trapped camp suffered a big loss.
Because the trapping camp drove the Han army formation before, the formation was an extended straggler formation, so it could not stop the Wuhuan Tucai cavalry charging from the group at all.
This trapping camp is a warrior selected from the Hebei Yellow Turban, and there is nothing to say about personal martial arts, and each has good martial arts skills. But the only drawback is that this formation is not tight, and the military style is relatively loose.
Its subordinate generals were also persuaded several times by the Taishan army robes before the poison, but the results were not great. The answers given by Yu Poison are:
"Our Yellow Turban wrestlers are like this, the more you manage, the more you don't care."
In this way, Yu Poison paid the price for his carelessness. The soldiers of the trapped army scattered and fled, Yu Yu himself was injured and retreated, and even a military flag of the trapped camp was taken away.
After Yu Poison retreated, he was quickly caught up by Li Hu behind the battle, and then died with a knife.
He didn't look down on the Yellow Turban generals like Yu Poison, who looked like more bandits than soldiers, but this time he took advantage of your violation of military law and directly chopped you with a knife.
Yu Poison lived up to the military name "Trapped" given to him by Zhang Chong, and then was subjected to military law. The trapped-up soldiers also fled, wounded, and never participated in the subsequent battles again.
In short, the battalion that was trapped in the battle almost no longer existed.
The more than 2,000 cavalry of the Wuhuan Tu continued to advance after defeating and dispersing the trapped camp.
Under the leadership of Gong Qichou, the captain of Wuhuan Colonel, they sprinted towards the Taishan Army in the distance.
To tell the truth, Gong Qi Chou is only a Chinese talent, and Zhang Chun rebelled in history and easily won this Gong. But at this moment, on the battlefield of Zhongren Pavilion, he made a highlight moment in history.
He, Gong Qi Chou, was the only army in the Han army that dared to charge Zhang Chong's Daxu in this battle.
As for the others, all the generals, including Lu Zhi, closed their minds and only knew how to passively respond to the attack of the Taishan army.
It doesn't matter whether this person is brave or brave, or that this person is ignorant and arrogant. He chose to act as a soldier and chose the path of the charge.
After once again defeating a phalanx of the trapped army, the Wuhuan Turquoise cavalry could finally see the Chinese army not far away.
At this time, Gong Qichou had already changed his mount twice, and his neck was also sprained and he couldn't turn his head. Perhaps this also invisibly hints at his fate, which can only move forward, not retreat.
But when the Youzhou Raid of Gongqi was marching here, it was almost over.
The Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Leopard Army Assault Cavalry, which arrived in time, occupied the communication line of the Wuhuan Assault Cavalry, making the Youzhou Assault Cavalry of Gongqi Thick only turn around. Unable to see his head, he could only see a military formation on the right, from where he could bypass the enemy's cavalry and plunge directly into the enemy's waist and abdomen.
So, Gong Qichou carried the military flag, took the lead again, and launched an attack on this infantry battalion with the Wuhuan Tu cavalry that could still follow him.
He didn't know that the infantry battalion he was preparing to attack now was called the Iron Spear Battalion, and its battalion would be called Zhu Ling.
Although the number of the Iron Gun Battalion was small, only about 1,000 people. However, the samurai who were selected from the big competition and were good at using big guns formed an army, and it can be said that the level of big gun fighting of this battalion of 1,000 people was the highest in the whole army.
And the same is true for Zhu Ling, although he is not famous in the Taishan military system, only Zhang Chong understands that this person is a rare good general.
When Zhu Ling led the iron spear army forward according to the set time, he saw that the Hu cavalry that had broken through his own front began to turn towards him.
One thing to say, the timing of this change is indeed wonderful, at least Zhu Ling really didn't find out the intentions of this cavalry at first.
Even Zhu Ling didn't notice it, let alone the officials below who had a narrower field of vision.
On their side, they listened to the beat of the drums, carried their rifles, and corrected the ranks as they went. Then a group of hideous Hu people came out of their right flank.
In the panic of the Iron Spear Battalion soldiers, the Wuhuan Turks slashed and slashed. Lu Sun, the general on the right flank, was holding a military flag and shouting a trumpet to advance, when he was slashed three times by the sudden Wuhuan cavalry and fell in a pool of blood.
His banner was picked up by the soldiers, and the Wuhuan Turquoise was about to take it again, but it was already surrounded by the iron-speared soldiers who reacted.
In a moment, the dozen or so Wuhuan Turquoise riders who burst in were chopped into pieces of flesh by the angry officials.
The quality of the Iron Spear Army is obviously much better than the previous trap camp. In the absence of command from above, they took the initiative to form a small phalanx and began to counterattack the Wuhuan Tucai.
In fact, no matter how you belittle these Wuhuan people, an indisputable fact is that these Wuhuan people, who have both the strengths of the Hu and Han dynasties and have experienced the Han wars for a long time, are indeed quite capable of fighting.
In another time and space, after quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han family ordered Zhang Wen to suppress the Qiang people in the west, and Zhang Wen asked Gongsun Zhan to bring 3,000 Wuhuan turquoise cavalry to support.
You must know that this will have to cross half of North China, and the supply of grain and grass along the way can organize an army of 10,000 people on the spot. Knowing that he would pay such a price, Zhang Wen also did this, which shows how strong the combat power of the Wuhuan Tuqi is.
Moreover, Zhang Chun's rebellion was caused later because of this troop transfer. Zhang Chun's hand was the Wuhuan Turquoise Cavalry, and the secluded land that had just been stabilized in this battle once again fell into chaos.
Not to mention, Cao Cao, who had already ruled northern China in its entirety, paid a huge price in order to destroy Wuhuan.
So, who can underestimate these Wuhuan people?
In front of them, the officers of the Iron Spear Army are like this.
Although they were all veterans and elite warriors of their chosen, they still had no experience facing the Wuhuan Turquoise. In the face of these tall horses and armored black knights, their hearts were still full of fear.
The shouts and shaking of the ground as the Wuhuan Riders struck, coupled with the glow of their armor reflected in the sunlight, all exaggerated their strength.
At this time, Zhu Ling was supported by two soldiers, and he ignored the danger and said in a loud voice:
"Brothers, hold the formation. The brethren of the Turquoise riders behind have arrived, and we have wiped out all these dogs. ”
Zhu Ling himself is a native of Qinghe, Jizhou, and he is very difficult to deal with these Wuhuan people.
Speaking of which, the Han family is very screwed in its policy towards the Wuhuan people. At the top level, the Wuhuan people were used as a means to balance the Huns and Xianbei people, and they cherished the courage of these Hu cavalry, so they were quite inclined in policy.
But in the secluded land, who doesn't have a blood feud with these Wuhuan people? These Wuhuan people rebelled and surrendered, sometimes became the allies of the Han army, and sometimes became the enemies of the Han army.
Zhu Ling's leader Jia Yong has brought remarkable results. One will die, and the three armies will fight for their lives.
These high-headed Wuhuan knights, dressed in Han armor, struck their breastplates with the hilts of their swords as they charged, making a terrifying sound.
Human language has always been limited, and no detail can be as rich as a picture. And no matter how rich the pictures are, they are not as immersive as being there.
At this moment, the feeling of Zhu Ling and his brothers in the Iron Spear Army was only known to them.
Is it helplessness, fear, appallation, anger, revenge? These feelings belong to them and are not understood by outsiders.
But in the eyes of the beholder, this is the way it happened.
In the face of the charge of the Wuhuan cavalry, the Iron Spear Army did not give an inch and firmly guarded the front. They used the rifles in their hands to keep stabbing the galloping horses, and there were constantly small formations being washed down, and there were constantly Wuhuan knights and horses being stabbed like a blood gourd.
The whole situation is so deadlocked, that either of the two sides could collapse at any moment.
But victory belongs to the Iron Spear Army in the end.
Because of their reinforcements, the brethren of the Flying Tigers and the Flying Leopards were finally catching up.
This is not a fluke or luck, this is determined by the system of the Taishan Army and the friendship between friendly forces. No army would leave its allies alone to fight indifferently, let alone under the king's eyelids.
At this time, Li Hu and Xi Shen finally rushed over with two battalions of assault after eliminating the previous participation in the Wuhuan assault.
The Wuhuan Assault Cavalry, which had lost its impact speed, was no match for the rushing and accelerating Tarzan Cavalry.
The Wuhuan knights were picked and killed by Ma Jian and fell off their horses, and there was chaos and fighting everywhere. The frightened war horse dragged the corpse of its master and fled from this killing field in a frenzy.
At this time, the desperate Gong Qichou really realized that the charge he had just made was not brave, but a blind advance.
Now he is surrounded by the Tarzan Legion.
Gong Qi's thick neck couldn't turn, so he eagerly asked the military officer next to him:
"Wei Duan and Lao Xing are behind, have they come to support?"
The soldier, who was a Han Chinese, glanced back, and then cried in despair:
"Woo woo, the camp flag of the criminal Sima has not moved."
Gong Qihou couldn't believe it, and he muttered:
"It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, this Tarzan thief shouldn't be able to fight like this. Why are they better than my Wuhuan Turf? And the old punishment, how can you bear me? After I leave, the next captain of Wuhuan will be you. ”
But he couldn't say any more, and the soldier next to him grabbed Gong Qihou and said in a trembling voice:
"Captain, let's escort you out. Just now I saw that the enemy cavalry was coming towards us, and it would be too late to run again. ”
At this time, Gong Qichou's wisdom was restored, and he hurriedly buckled his helmet on the head of the soldier, and then untied the cloak and tied it to the back of the soldier.
Looking at the soldiers who wanted to cry without tears, Gong Qihou said seriously:
"If all of us die, we will die in vain. If I die, you live, and you live and die. But as long as I live, no matter which of you dies, I will be kind to your wife, this is my promise. ”
Gong Qichou's words sound ugly, but they make a lot of sense.
The soldier also accepted his fate, and he was about to tell his master the location of his house when he saw his master run away.
Hu Bing muttered:
"The lieutenant should know where our family is."
The fate of the soldiers was like this in the end.
Because he was wearing the service of the main general and standing under the big sword, he was beheaded by Li Hu, who rushed over.
But our Li Hu didn't be happy for long, and he heard that Xi Shen over there had already taken the head of Gong Qi Chou to the back to report his merits.
Wait, that Xi Shen is taking the head of Gong Qi Chou, who am I?
Then Lao Li pulled the teeth of this head, and when he saw a bad tooth, he didn't know that he was coaxed.
He threw the head away and scolded:
"Damn, this Xi Shen also dares to rob my Lao Li's head? Let's see. ”
