Chapter 33: Field Battle (2)
The officers and soldiers did not immediately order the cavalry to drive straight in, their messengers galloped around the front army, and then the cavalry chasing Han Bin and others in front suddenly stopped, scattered to the right flank of the own army, and then divided into several teams led by hundreds of households, drew swords and raised shields, and rushed up.
Before he was within the range of the bow and arrow, the place surrounded by the cavalry on both wings gradually formed an open area, and more than thirty Franco machine cannons followed closely, and Yang Kai had no other way but to watch the official army approaching step by step.
He immediately ordered the soldiers on the mountain to move to the back of the mountain, and sure enough, the artillery had a longer range than bows and arrows, and was less affected by the wind.
The generals suddenly felt that Yang Kai was like a god, but Yang Kai's countermeasures were far from that, and everyone saw him suddenly fall to the ground and let out a miserable scream.
"Quick, shout with me!"
Seeing this scene, Yan Hou was confused at first, looking up and down, left and right, and didn't know whether it was a sudden turn of thought or a sudden inspiration, he finally understood what Yang Kai meant, and shouted loudly backwards:
"The master is really the reincarnation of Kong Ming, this kind of strategy can be thought of, quickly, play dead for me!"
For a while, on the mountain, there were bursts of stiff screams. Yan Hou didn't like it when he heard it, turned around and jumped up, and actually knocked the old brother's big head, and scolded:
"Haven't there been any deaths in your mother's house? Give me some emotion to shout, call it to the thieves, make them think that we are all dead on the mountain, and they will let their guard down! ”
The old brother didn't react for a while, and then the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, what kind of birdman are you, you dare to break ground on your brother's head? Jumping up, Bang Bang gave Yan Hou a few punches, and asked him to give a demonstration to his brother behind him.
After a short time, the cannon passed a few rounds and stopped, and then the officers and soldiers of the shield array shouted and rushed over, and Yang Kai ordered the soldiers behind him to cry lightly, causing heavy casualties. In the end, he ordered five ten commanders to go down the mountain in batches and rush back in the direction of the deep mountain.
When the officers and soldiers saw this scene, where were they still suspicious, but they were really thieves who did not enter the stream, and they opened their stinky mouths, and they scolded in front of the camp for a long time, and they thought that they had some ability to fly to the sky, but they were still so vulnerable, and they were a mess.
Thinking of Han Bin's humiliating behavior outside his camp, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and his blood involuntarily rushed to his head, and the shouts and shouts of killing became more and more vigorous.
"How did it go so well?"
The vanguard of the flank was Luo Dai, seeing this scene, his heart suddenly became suspicious, he was already good at self-study, and during the period of following Lu Xiangsheng, he learned the truth that he could defeat the enemy and win by taking steps for the battalion.
Now the actions of the thieves seem to be very reasonable, but when I think about it, I feel that something is wrong, and I have fled all the way, why do I dare to fight them when I enter the mountains? Wouldn't it be better to ambush along the way?
"General, it's time for us to rush!" A reminder from a personal soldier next to him interrupted his thoughts, Zuo Liangyu gave them such an order, and it was useless to think about it more.
After a pause, the artillery roar of the rear of the official army was connected again, and the enemy wailing on the mountain was much weaker, and in the rumble of artillery fire, Luo Dai stepped forward with his horse, and took the soldiers behind him, and after the gun formation behind the shield was very injured, he ran straight down the mountain.
The first to come to the shield array of the officers and soldiers at the bottom of the mountain, and the thieves fled down from the mountain one after another, which also created the illusion that the ambush soldiers on the mountain were not enough to fear. It was just two teams of 100 people, wading up the mountain, completing the final cleanup, hearing the sound of the flying hooves of the healthy horses behind him, what were they afraid of, and a kind of general was chasing and killing with high morale.
What Yang Kai was waiting for was the cavalry of the official army, they were pulling and shooting with the wind, and the range of bows and arrows was superior to that of the official army, but when the two formations of the official army's shield and spear came close to the mountain, they still did not fire a single arrow, and what they were waiting for was this opportunity.
The agreed time between him and Cao Mang, who was ambushed on the left and right sides of the battlefield, and the new general who returned to the camp was also this opportunity, Cao Mang did not hesitate, seeing that the time had come, he raised the wolftooth heavy stick in his hand and shouted: "If this battle is won, I will ask for first-class military merit for all the armies, everyone, follow me, kill!" After a sentence, he led the people behind him to rush out, and the shouts of "kill, kill, kill" suddenly resounded on the flanks.
Directly opposite them was behind the side of the officer's artillery array, and the cavalry on both sides had already rushed out, and the artillery position was empty.
Zuo Liangyu of the Chinese army found this army that was inserted into their empty flank like a blade for the first time, and he was suddenly shocked in his heart, the thieves not only ambushed in the mountains, but also dared to divide their troops to fight? But shock is shock, the front army is already like this, and there is no retreat to speak of.
The sudden ominous premonition in his heart without warning made Zuo Liangyu immediately shout: "Quick, order all the generals in the rear to come up, and you must give me to withstand the thieves on the flanks." ”
"Generals, generals, there are also bandits of thieves on the right flank." The personal soldiers beside Zuo Liangyu immediately found that they raised their heads when they heard the order, and they thought that they should respond, but they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
Zuo Liangyu glanced back, becoming more and more panicked, "Quick, pass on my military order, let the soldiers in the rear press forward, and kill the thieves on both sides, quickly!" ”
Thousands of steps away, Cao Mang glanced at the direction of the official and military commander's banner, unmoved, Yang Kai assigned him the task is to disrupt the enemy's middle formation, cut off its support, and disturb the hearts of the soldiers in the front formation, the strategic significance of such an action is far greater than the courage of a horseman, to charge the enemy's commander's formation, and Zuo Liangyu's heavy guards around him are not scattered.
Nine times out of ten, it will be difficult for them to succeed, and it will put the brothers behind them in a difficult situation, and the gains outweigh the losses, so he only holds a mace in his hand and shoots the bow left and right, and rushes up to kill.
On the part of the officers and soldiers, there were not many people, and they were unexpected, and what was even more tragic was that the artillery entered a cooling period after another bombardment, waiting for the rear formation, the archers raised their longbows, and saw that their soldiers could not stop them, and they fell to the ground in whole rows like harvesting rice, and then the officers and soldiers quickly sunk into the middle of the formation at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”
With the instant collapse of the middle of the official army, the commander of the rear army could no longer care about which was a soldier and which was a bandit on the chaotic battlefield, and immediately ordered the archers in the rear formation to shoot arrows.
In an instant, dust and smoke filled the air, blood splashed on the battlefield, arrows rained down, and the screams of officers and soldiers and bandits were mixed together, and they were heard far away.
This long-range shot unexpectedly caused a certain amount of damage to the officers and soldiers and the thieves, but they saw that the pair of cavalry showed a kind of courage that they had never seen before, and they still fought to the death and did not retreat, but the ghost cried and roared like a wolf, and continued to move forward with the invincible Cao Mang, whose courage was shocking.
Several officers and soldiers who were frightened and white-faced, were just about to turn around and retreat, but they saw a few long knives flying and cutting off their heads, it was Zuo Liangyu's personal soldiers, "The general has an order, the whole army presses forward, and the latter one step, from the general below, behead!" ”
There were bandits in front, and Zuo Liangyu's own soldiers in the back, and the bloody human head was stimulated, and the soldiers had no choice but to pluck up their courage again, roaring and crying and rushing forward.
Between the demolition and storming of the sea, Cao Mang finally slowed down and shouted to his side: "Don't stay in one place for too long, Wang Biao, you quickly lead people to rush to the left flank of the front, open a way, I led the troops to push the official artillery array, and go to meet you." ”
Wang Biao is together with Zhao Hu, serving as the new leader of the deputy thousand households in the cavalry, his figure is so tall that he can almost be comparable to Cao Mang, and after a rush to kill, his body has been stained with a lot of blood, and there are also a few wounds.
He had more than 500 people under his command, and now there are nearly 100 dead and wounded, but it does not prevent him from moving forward.
......
At the same time, the same smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the arrows were like flying locusts, and there was also the battlefield under the mountain.
After seeing the banner of the cavalry of the officers and soldiers, Yang Kai shouted and beat the drums, and the hundreds of soldiers who were ambushing the mountain stood up, silent, and did not aim, and drew their arrows and bows to shoot.
In the blink of an eye, the situation under the mountains and fields took a sharp turn, and the officers and soldiers holding spears in their hands, armed with long knives, sat down and rode down to the ground one after another, and the momentum that was once very strong disappeared in an instant.
After shooting a few arrows, Yang Kai abandoned his bow and arrows, and shouted to his side: "Kid surnamed Yan, bring your people, draw your sword and come up with me, the rest of you, after a quarter of an hour, no matter whether the arrows in your hands are shot or not, quickly withdraw, don't linger for half a moment!" ”
Although they can achieve the effect of hitting the hearts of the officers and soldiers, they are also full of dangers. The artillery that had been directed at them earlier was only one of them, and the key was that after they were completely exposed, in the face of large-scale casualties, the officers and soldiers would certainly be furious and would send people to kill them, and the thousands of officers and men who had rushed into their positions from the bottom of the mountain would certainly be difficult to resist in the face of the dangerous situation, and they would definitely have to retreat.
But the mountain road is only so big, and the space for them to retreat is very limited, and the mountain where there is no road will also become their way, and at that time, they will only have the destination of heroic sacrifice.
Before the words fell, the ambush soldiers on the three sides of the rear suddenly rose up.
The outlaw was like, rushing straight down the mountain, Cai Qian took this opportunity, pulled out his knife, and shouted again:
"There is an order in the palm of the plate, and those who kill the officers below the enemy's general banner in battle will be awarded a third-class meritorious service, and the official will be promoted to one level, and the more money and cloth will be rewarded, the more the merrier. Kill 100 households, put the general, plan the chaos of the battle, less than 100 households, the official is promoted to two levels, and the money cloth is more, all of them will be killed by me! ”
After lying in ambush for a long time, the weapons in their hands were sent again and again, and finally it was their turn to make a move.
Hearing this, the thieves were all in high spirits, and in their eyes, where were these thousands of officers and soldiers still invincible enemies? It has become a fragrant bun in the eyes of a hungry man!
However, the first to contact the enemy was Han Bin and Zhao Hu, who had run for a long time without killing anyone, and when they saw the thieves rising, he also came over, stretched out his bow and arrow, and hit the front shield soldier in the front, and then laughed rampantly and shouted:
"Lord Shang, if you want to make one less head in my credit book, I will not spare you!"
Seeing this scene, she turned around and ordered Yang Kai to leave her personal soldiers: "Han Qianhu added a two-inch branch, quick remember, quick remember!" ”
It is difficult to find pen and ink in his hands, and most of the personal soldiers left by Yang Kai are illiterate, and in such a chaotic formation, it is too late to copy the records by hand, so he has a wonderful idea, and he has already led them to prepare thousands of branches, kill a soldier and add half an inch, and add half an inch to each step up, and use the branches to record the number of enemies killed.
Anyway, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and there are tree branches. The battle below began, and several people looked at the battlefield at the bottom of the mountain, and the names of each department were spread one after another, and branches were added to the top.
Cai Qian saw that a general he had been staring at was always killed by Han Bin's arrow, and immediately scolded: "Han Laosi, who is in his mother's house, there are still goods in his crotch, come up with me and kill Lao Tzu fiercely!" ”
