Chapter 19: The Death of Huading Mountain
On August 16, 385 years of the Celestial Calendar, the military formation of Huading Mountain outside the Blue Mountain Fort
Although, after pre-war mobilization. The morale of the criminal state army has recovered, but the fatigue of the tired soldiers after a long battle is still written on their faces. Huading Mountain is no longer seeking life and death in this battle. The resolute face was already full of death and determination.
The Yan army on the opposite side was also in a wide formation, with 20,000 Yan troops, half of each cavalry, obviously He Chun's army had not yet returned. At this time, it is not the best time to fight Huading Mountain.
Mr. Cui, why did our army take over the battle letter from Huadingshan at this time and fight him in a decisive battle?
An Mingqian asked puzzledly, Huading Mountain's reputation for being good at fighting is well known in Yan Kingdom. Although the cavalry of the Yan army was strong, head-to-head confrontation was still not the norm pursued by the soldiers.
At least, with a famous general like Hua Dingshan. In the wilderness, there are still not many people in the Great Ji Empire.
His Royal Highness the Prince, precisely because Huadingshan is a general of the Southern Domain. In the southern army, it has supreme prestige. In our country, there are also countless people who covet it.
With such a fighter, even if you lose some men and horses, if you can take him, your prestige in the country, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be unmatched for a while. As far as Xingzhou is concerned, our next attack on Yang County can also make the enemy fearful.
So, even if it's hard. Our army will have a lot of damage, and this battle is still essential.
Cui Xilie said calmly, he was able to control the situation on the battlefield twenty years ago. Now, decades of dormancy have made him understand some truths beyond the battlefield.
How to use something other than the battlefield to achieve victory is also one of his decades-long insights.
But our army has been fighting and fighting, and the soldiers are already exhausted. At this time, I have to touch them hard again....
An Mingqian was still a little hesitant, and now he was not only benevolent in his heart, but also afraid of failure.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, are you afraid of failure?
I am not a sage, how can I not be afraid?
Sages are nothing but bullshit. Where are there any sages in the world? Fear is human nature, but His Royal Highness the Prince. The road you have to take, there are many more of these that are more brutal and riskier.
At the moment, these are nothing. As long as His Highness believes in Cui, Cui will definitely not disappoint His Highness.
Cui Xiyeol's eyes emitted a red and blue glow, which looked particularly bewitching. However, An Mingqian felt that he should believe him. Perhaps since he rescued him, An Mingqian has never distrusted him.
Then, fight. Xi Yi, leading all the cavalry, attacked forward with an eagle strike formation. Archers ready, sword and shield soldiers ready.
An Mingqian and Cui Xilie were not prepared to use any tricks and means this time, and only planned to attack with a dignified cavalry formation. Let the Southern Army see the difference between the two armies in the field battles on the plains and the cavalry tactics.
Xi Yi led the heavy armored cavalry and the chain cavalry on both sides, as well as the leather cavalry on the outside. With a sharp arrow formation, it violently charged towards the military formation of Huading Mountain.
However, if you really think that this is a simple sharp arrow formation, then you will definitely suffer a big loss.
According to the traditional response to the onslaught of the cavalry, only pikemen and sword and shield soldiers need to lay out a circle together to hold on. With quick parts and spear stabs, block the onslaught of cavalry.
When the Blade Array is hindered and loses its impact, it will become the target of infantry hunting because the target is too large. However, the Yan army, now the troops led by An Mingqian are the steppe cavalry.
It is a steppe cavalry who began to practice horseback riding at the age of four, and it is a steppe cavalry who changes the direction of the horse's head like a flowing cloud.
Hua Dingshan played his cards according to tradition, and after blocking the first wave of cavalry charges, he was about to let the archers shoot.
The grassland cavalry on the opposite side suddenly turned their horses and ran back, and the leather cavalry on both sides suddenly broke away from Xi Yi's central cavalry in the middle and rushed backwards in a line formation.
Copy the enemy's rear road, flank fear.
The classic drama of the grassland cavalry, however, although Huading Mountain is traditional, these can't clean him up.
The circle formation changed sharply and quickly filled the position backwards. And there are also a small number of sword and shield soldiers, with hook and sickle spears to hook the legs of the enemy's horses.
At this time, when the front army was weak, Xi Yi led the heavy armored cavalry to attack again, this time. A large number of sword and shield hands broke the defense, and they were uneven for a while.
Then, the war cavalry turned and retreated, and the chainmail cavalry parted to the sides, and a wave of arrows suddenly rained down from the sky. The army of Huadingshan suffered many casualties at once.
Many Yan Guobu troops rushed up at this time.
Fighting with Hua Dingshan's army, Hua Dingshan finally stabilized the rear army, and the front became a pot of porridge.
He couldn't help but sigh, how good it would be if his Iron Sword Army was still there. If the Iron Sword Army was still there, they would definitely not let them toss like this.
However, he was relieved immediately. The Iron Sword Army is here, although it can inflict a heavy blow on the Yan Army, but at the same time, the Iron Sword Army, which has already been injured, may also be removed from the establishment.
So what should the Fahrenheit family do?
The battlefield does not allow him to have too many worries, under the command of An Mingqian, or it can also be said that Cui Xilie. The Yan army bombarded the military formation of Huading Mountain like a spring.
Soon the gap began to appear in the military formation of Huading Mountain, and from the afternoon until the sun wanted to go down. The military formation of Huading Mountain was in tatters.
The deserters appeared the first and slowly began to expand as well.
Hua Dingshan knew that his end was coming.
Soldiers, fight to the death, if you retreat, you will be hunted down and killed by them.
Fight to the death! Fight to the death!
However, the other side was quick to respond.
Fugitives don't chase!
Fugitives don't chase!
Fugitives don't chase!
Under the continuous shouting, the tired Huadingshan army, the fleeing soldiers began to increase more and more, and gradually Huadingshan began to be unable to stop the fleeing army.
Seeing that it took less than a stick of incense, there were only a few hundred soldiers left around Hua Dingshan. This last army was all red, and the murderous aura suddenly rose.
Ladies and gentlemen, eighteen years later, we are heroes again.
Hua Dingshan drew his sword and led the last soldiers to charge together. An Mingqian also sent a sword and shield hand, of course, first released three waves of arrow rain.
The sunset is like blood.
At this time, outside the Blue Mountain Fort, there was a feast of blood.
The gates of hell are wider than ever.
In this battle, the Yan army lost 3,000 casualties, the entire Huading Mountain was annihilated, and the Yan army beheaded more than 10,000 people.
An Mingqian understood that the head of Huading Mountain could not only make the enemy troops in Yangjun City fearful, but also mobilize the defenders of Zhongzhou and Chongzhou in the rear.
When there is a tailwind war, everyone will come like a hungry dog pounced.
This time, we also lost tens of thousands of soldiers!
An Mingqian was still sighing in his heart, the battle had reached this point. Defeated Hua Dingshan and took his first rank. An Mingqian's heart was finally a little relieved, and in an instant, it seemed to be falling backwards.
He leaned forward and backward in a row, almost frightening the warhorse.
An Mingqian dismounted at this time and ordered:
The whole army entered the Blue Mountain Fort to rest, and the military division Ji Shang arranged for 2,000 soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and all the enemy corpses were beheaded and burned. In addition, the token of Huading Mountain was sent back to Zhongzhou Luocheng, and follow-up reinforcements were mobilized to attack Yangjun.
