Chapter 454: Gongsun
The riding style of the White Horse Yicong and the Taishan Army is very different.
Because of the high-quality horse source, the white horse is a high-headed horse. However, the sudden war horses of the Taishan army are much worse than the white horses, and they are inferior to the former in terms of horsepower explosion and height.
As a result, the two armies presented two tactical styles. The former is because the war horses are all grassland breeds, fast speed, and sufficient endurance, so the tactics are more interspersed and rushing. However, although the Taishan army cavalry is not as good as the war horse, the discipline is even worse. They are disciplined, disciplined, and obedient.
From the battle between these two armies, there is a good comparison, that is, the fine man faced the reckless man.
At the very first moment of the collision, the proud Wyvern Trooper realized that something was wrong.
The Han knights on the opposite side wearing crimson military uniforms and riding white horses were not fancy, their long horses were equipped with a sharp lance at the end, and each time they dodged the first frontal impact, after staggering, the opposite side could stab again with the end.
Many of the Wyvern soldiers just didn't guard against this, and they were carelessly planted and dismounted.
The white horse on the opposite side also had a sinister one, that is, relying on the war horses under their crotches, before they were about to collide, they suddenly increased the speed of the horses, which caught the flying dragon soldiers off guard.
Tian Yue regrets it now.
He was a native of Guangyang County and was originally a member of the Youzhou Turquoise, but he was abandoned in the battle of Jize and finally surrendered with Yan Rou, Wang Men, Shan Jing, Li Zhong and others.
Later, Wang Men and Shan Jing secretly ran away and returned to the Zhenbei Army sequence, while he, Yan Rou, and Li Zhongsan chose to stay.
And just now, when he rushed with fifty flying dragon soldiers in his department, the first thing he saw was his former robe, the king's gate.
The king also sprinted towards him with a white horse.
In the process, Tian Yue and Wang Men met their eyes, and then Tian Yue understood.
He lifted his upright horse slightly, ready to cross the wrong horse.
After all, he and Wang Men are also brothers in life and death in the past, but they will only fight against each other because of fate, so let it go if you can.
And the royal gate on the opposite side obviously had the same plan as Tian Yue.
It seems that the war is a matter for the big guys, and why are we brothers fighting?
So Tian Yue and Wang Men tacitly touched Ma Ji, and then crossed by the wrong horse. In the past, Tian Yue also gave Wang Men a smile.
But just when he turned his head, he was in a trance, but it was the royal family who was so villainous that when he was on the wrong horse, he actually stabbed back with a horse.
Tian Yue didn't have time to dodge, so he just tried to bend down and blocked the lance with his back armor.
The back flag was broken, the back armor was also pierced, and Tian Yue was seriously injured by this lance.
He endured severe pain, put his arms around his horse, and commanded his horsemen to break through.
He Tian Yue died because of his own naivety, but he could not harm the brothers. So he stoiced and would rather die in battle than be captured.
After that, Tian Yue's team of fifty people fought against the soldiers of the White Horse Yicong, and after paying a heavy price, they finally fought their way out.
But Tian Yue died in battle.
After his mount was stabbed to death by a white horse's retinue, he was trampled to death by the enemy.
Tian Yue's team, which finally rushed out, still had thirty horsemen left, and when they saw that their team generals had disappeared, they all clamored to kill them back, wanting to capture the corpse of the team leader.
But a moment later, these Flying Dragon soldiers who died for righteousness were surrounded by more white horse rebels, and they were either shot to death or poked to the ground by Ma Zhen.
None of the Wyvern soldiers in this group chose to kneel down and surrender and beg, and they all died together with their own robes and brothers.
But this statement is not accurate, to be precise, there is still a survivor of this team of Wyvern soldiers.
His name is Yang Xuan, and his original name is Yang Wazi. It is a good righteous son of Zhang Da, the general of the Taishan Army.
Zhang Da finally got the beauty back and married Wang Xiaoniang, a pretty beauty in the baggage camp.
Yang Wazi's mother and Wang Xiaoniang were handkerchiefs, and they were the liaison between Zhang Da and Wang Xiaoniang, so they were naturally loved by Zhang Da and the two, so they were accepted by Zhang Da as a righteous son.
In the past few years, Yang Wazi has just grown up, and naturally wants to join the army, which is also the inevitable path for the children of the Taishan Army.
Originally, Zhang Da wanted Yang Wazi to stay in the Zhonghu Army, but this kid wanted to go alive and dead because of the majesty of the Raider. In the end, Zhang Da could only ask his old brother Li Hu to accept Yang Wazi as a sudden horse.
After Yang Wazi joined the army, according to tradition, the army was named Xuan.
So Yang Wazi became a pawn of the Flying Dragon Army of the Taishan Army, and he was the most basic cavalry.
This time was Yang Xuan's third time on the battlefield, and after spending the initial nervousness and excitement, he began to let himself go, and when he charged, he was directly left behind by Tian Yue and them.
He was also unlucky, and while chasing the team, he even crippled the horse's leg in a hollow.
After Yang Xuan hurriedly got up, a white horse Yi galloped over with a ring-headed knife.
The first blow from the opposite side slashed at Yang Xuan's head, directly cutting off his pocket, although the sharp knife edge was old, it still cut several wounds on Yang Xuan's head and face.
Yang Xuan was stunned by this blow, and raised his head in a panic to look at the white horse Yicong on the opposite side, and then saw the opposite side waving a knife towards his head to cut a second knife.
At this time, Yang Xuancai bent his head and dodged the blow. After that, he jumped onto the opposite horse and directly brought the white horse down with him.
Pressing this white horse servant, Yang Xuan could obviously see the different color of his eyes, and he didn't look like a Han person. Yang Xuan has eaten well and trained well over the years, and his martial arts are not weak.
He had just escaped death twice, and the whole person was a little excited, seeing that Na Yicong was still looking at him fiercely, Yang Xuan bit his own finger in one bite.
With the heart-rending screams on the other side, Yang Xuan spit out a finger.
After that, he grabbed the person with only one hand, and then pulled out his ring knife, and stabbed the other person in the neck with a single sword.
Torrents of blood drenched the young warrior's face.
Yang Xuan took a moment, licked the blood on his mouth, and a strong fishy aura rushed straight to his head, which made him head at once.
After slashing this nominal slave with a knife a few times, Yang Xuan cut off the person's head, and then stepped onto the war horse of the righteous servant, and went to find the location of the robes.
In the process, Yang Xuan's back was hit hard by the cruising Han horse, and his fingers were also cut off.
But Yang Xuan still found his team in the end.
Looking at the headless corpse lying on the ground, Yang Xuan couldn't believe that this would be his robe. But the names on those epaulettes, the formations, all told him that these were his robes and siblings who died in battle.
Yang Xuan burst into tears and tore off the armbands of the robes. This is Ashin's, this is Maverick's, and this is Lao Huang's .......
It was the first time that Yang Xuan had endured such grief, which was even heavier than the grief he had learned of his father's death in battle when he was young.
Helping each other day and night, the brothers in the same clothes died so tragically?
But time can't allow Yang Xuan to think about it anymore, he wants to take off the armbands of the robes as soon as possible, which is an important basis for the brothers to pay for their pensions in the future, which Yang Xuan must do.
Soon, Yang Xuan found their team flag in the arms of his own team leader Tian Yue. This flag was held in Tian Yue's arms and pressed with the strength of his whole body.
In this way, Yang Xuan took the team flag, carried the armband of the sacrificed brothers, and held a war horse wandering nearby, and galloped to the east, where Chen Huan Sima was still fighting with the brothers.
……
Li Hu didn't know that his subordinate Tian Yue had been sacrificed, but even if he didn't count, he knew that the Flying Dragon Army had suffered a big loss this time.
When he came out with the Flying Tiger Army, he found that the road ahead had been blocked by the large array of Han infantry following closely behind Baima Yicong.
Li Hu just glanced left and right, and knew that he couldn't rush now.
As a result, he could only run to the east of the battlefield with the participating Wyvern Army, ready to regroup.
Following the gap in front of the Han army's infantry array, the Flying Dragon Army withdrew safely and was not attacked by the Han army's arrows.
When Li Hu stopped at a flat ground, not far away was the right flank of the battlefield, and the flag belonging to the Taishan Army was firmly planted on the dock wall in front.
At this time, Li Hu and the others felt safe.
Then he counted the number of people, and at last he had two hundred and thirty-seven.
Before the whole army charged, there were a total of 446 actual soldiers, and now there are 209 less. Some of these people must still be alive, but it is not known where they are scattered now.
But no matter what, at this time, Li Hu had to rest and regroup before he could continue fighting.
And over there, on the battlefield in the middle, the White Horse Yicong is still rampant.
……
After the Flying Dragon Army suffered huge casualties and withdrew from the battlefield, Yan Gang's Tianwei Army was also defeated by the soldiers of the White Horse Yicong, and they also withdrew to the edge of the battlefield one after another to rest and lick their wounds.
As a result, Bai Ma Yi began to ravage the middle of the Taishan army with the Dai Beihu miscellaneous horses.
The first thing they attacked was the Chen Huan division on the far right, which had 3,000 soldiers and was the most pillar phalanx of the middle route army of the Taishan Army.
Here, Hakuba's good fortune seems to be exhausted all at once.
First, the king's gate, who had just returned to his bravery, was shot in the temple by an arrow from nowhere, and then, without saying a word, he fell off his horse.
Then even Gongsun Zhan, who was rampant in Yaowu, was shot at his mount and fell.
If Zou Dan behind him hadn't seen it and pulled Gongsun Chan up, our White Horse Captain might have been trampled to death by his own people.
Looking at Gongsun Zhan, who had palpitations, Zou Dan suggested:
"Governor, we have achieved major results, and the enemy's charge has been crushed by us, so let's retreat."
Indeed, at this time, Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong fought very well, and there were three banners of the Taishan Army that had just been captured, which was enough to go back and hand over the errand.
But Gongsun Chan was unmoved, and only replied:
"If the blood does not drain, it will not return."
After speaking, Gongsun Zhan found his horn soldier and ordered Bai Ma Yicong to continue to attack Chen Huan's troops.
This time, Gongsun Chan still took the lead, and crashed into Chen Huan's camp phalanx with a rain of arrows in the light and flint.
In charge of guarding this battalion is Zheng Xiang, a veteran general in the army.
This Shanliao Kui, who was born in Shanshan, is thirty-six years old this year, and he is a veteran of the Taishan army. He has a majestic posture of eight feet and three inches, and his head is tied with a bear skin forehead strap that he has always worn since he was a mountain liao leader.
In the face of the surging white horse righteous servants, Zheng Xiang was not afraid of danger.
He stood in front of the formation, holding a huge axe, first overturning a rushing white horse from the top, and then splitting the man's skull with another axe.
After that, Zheng Xiang led the officials of the camp to the front line.
However, Zheng Xiang's battalion was a pure bow and crossbow team, and although everyone had a ring-headed sword, it lacked spears and other weapons that could resist cavalry charges.
Therefore, without any accidents, Bai Ma Yicong killed in.
But if you are careful, you can see that although the officials of Zheng Xiang's battalion are in chaos, they have begun to form a small circular formation, and under the protection of the limited infantry lancers, the crossbowmen in the array are constantly counterattacking.
At the same time, not far away, Gongsun Du has been carrying his own five hundred horsemen to fall behind Gongsun Zhan's white horse.
Liu Yi, who was next to him, saw Bai Ma Yicong's crazy appearance in front of him, and couldn't help but say:
"Are these people crazy? Aren't you afraid of death? ”
Gongsun Du didn't answer him, but frowned and looked at the battle ahead.
At this time, after defeating several enemy troops, the entire morale of the White Horse Yicong had reached its peak.
Under the horn of Gongsun Zhan, they shouted loudly, brandishing the ring-headed sword and constantly impacting the military formation of the Taishan army. These crimson knights are constantly rushing like a tide, and they seem to be majestic.
But as long as you look carefully, you can see that under the dense arrows on the opposite side, the white horse Yicong and their war horses continue to fall to the ground.
Gongsun Du felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly ordered Liu Yi to blow the trumpet and let the cavalry raise their speed so that they could support Gongsun Zhan.
However, although Gongsun Du felt that Gongsun Chan was in a bad situation, Gongsun Chan, who was rushing to kill in the formation, did not think so.
On the contrary, he felt that it was very good now.
Just now, he cut down the battalion flag of the Taishan army.
Although the Taishan battalion general was also a bit brave, and his soldiers were also very difficult, under the double-headed lance of his Gongsun Zhan, all resistance was to no avail.
However, there is an episode here, just after Gongsun Chan stabbed the deputy battalion general opposite, the battalion flag in his hand slipped down and then fell on the horse of a knight behind Gongsun Chan.
That knight was none other than Zheng Yi, who had given the order before, and it turned out that he had not returned to the Chinese army, but had bravely charged with the White Horse Yicong.
As soon as Zheng Yi picked up the camp flag, he heard his senior brother shouting in a rather gloomy tone:
"Senior brother, are you trying to rob me of my merits?"
Zheng Yi's face flushed, and he hurriedly held the flag and sent it to Gongsun Zhan, and apologized:
"Senior brother, this flag belongs only to you."
Gongsun Chan smiled again at this time, and then tore off the flag and wrapped it around his body and shouted:
"I am a white horse and an invincible man."
Everyone, including Zheng Yi, chanted:
"The world is invincible."
In this army of 10,000 people, Gongsun Zhan's blood surged, and he never felt so glorious for a moment.
Up to now, he has broken through five formations of the enemy army with eight hundred white horse righteous followers, and this kind of courage is nothing more than Xiang Yu when he is alive.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Chan once again wanted to shout:
"The world is invincible."
But a cold arrow, along the voice of the Buddha, pierced Gongsun Zhan's neck in an instant.
Gongsun Chan felt that his whole strength was draining, he listened to the voices of his subordinates near him getting smaller and smaller, looked at the sun again, and then puffed into the ground.
The one who killed Gongsun Zhan, the general in the army, Chen Chengye.
The White Horse Captain is over.
