Chapter 240: Battle of Xiangyang (6)

Facing the enemy in battle, relying on hard power, under the crushing of iron hooves, any fancy things are useless, no matter what kind of conspiracy, only the commander in chief can be effective if he prepares for the enemy in advance, and in the vast majority of cases, there is no such thing as defeating the strong with the weak, and the army is conquering and the country is the way of the king. High in the sky, there is an eagle long, like a river flowing into a lake, and the two armies collide together!

The armor riders in front of me are dense, like the tide of the sea, and thousands of armor horses are running and shaking the mountains, unstoppable! "-Hold on!" A small officer standing in the front row of the Zhou army burst into a shout, before the confrontation, the shouts and killings in the Zhou army's array came and went, the momentum of the army suddenly increased to the highest, everyone's adrenaline was secreted frantically, and the blood flowing in the body seemed to be coagulated and scaled up at that moment, they pinched the spear blade, and they were about to usher in a bloody battle, endless!

Qi people's armor cavalry galloped at full speed, the cavalry of black armor and red silk charged with all their might, but the team was not scattered, in the general cavalry combat, often the cavalry is difficult to recover after letting go, and it is easy to be dispersed by the enemy army to eliminate one by one, but this cavalry is different, they are brave and good at fighting, well-trained in advance and retreat, and can be retracted freely at the time of the charge, you can imagine what kind of elite this is.

“…… Crossbowmen ready! The crossbowmen in the Zhou army stepped forward in a queue, tied the arrows and buckled the strings, and lifted the bow and crossbow up at an angle in a uniform manner, with a long shout of "Fa-", the arrow rain and dark clouds generally rose from the military formation, densely shooting towards the charging cavalry army, long arrows were like raindrops, and some even collided together in mid-air, and slaughtered towards the Qi army.

In the face of this terrible rain of arrows, the cavalry did not retreat, but still drove full horsepower, and poured down the hillside with no relentless progress, and the long arrows hit the heavy armor, making a clanging sound, and some cavalrymen were hit by long arrows in the gallop at full speed, and suddenly fell from their horses, drowning in the rolling iron stream. The armored cavalry in the front row has crossed the so-called "place of shooting", and in the back, when these cavalrymen in iron armor galloped, in units of five, they threw hook locks to each other, and they quickly hung these hook locks on the saddle, and some of the robes that fell to the ground with arrows fell to the ground, and they had no intention of rescuing, and they trampled straight and rushed over, and no one stopped, at this moment, even if Gao Changgong personally ordered to stop the attack, it was useless. Now they have only enemies in their eyes, only killing!

Zhou Jun was already close at hand, and they could clearly see everyone's faces, eyebrows, and eyes.

"-Kill!"

"-Kill! Kill! Kill!! ”

They lifted the lance and crushed the queue of the Zhou army in an extremely ferocious manner, and the blood waves flew all the way!

In the face of cavalry, especially heavy cavalry, it is best to form a formation of infantry and slow siege, once the cavalry is exhausted and slowed down, it will fall into the endless attacks of the surrounding enemy forces. Yu Wenxin was as motionless as a mountain in the front military formation, acting as the anchor of this military formation, and behind him, Sergeant Zhou nervously watched the scene of the people in front of him neighing and flesh flying, while clenching the sharp blade in his hand.

In the peacetime training of the government army, it is relatively strict, and the overall quality of the army is quite good, not to mention that Yuwen Xin gathered hundreds of the most elite soldiers around him, and when the Qi army tore open the front array and was about to enter a fierce battle with the Chinese army, it was when he launched a counter-charge, at this time, the front army can be chaotic, the left and right wings can also be chaotic, and the Chinese army must be stable!

And the front army where he is located must delay time for the Chinese army and find the best opportunity for the Chinese army to attack!

Qi people's armor rode fiercely, and after tearing the gap, the large army drove straight in, and smashed the Chinese army directly, like a hot knife cut into the lard, and nothing could stop them. Yu Wenzhi took in this scene from the top of the watchtower of the Chinese army, his face turned pale with fright, his whole body was cold, and he trembled, Lu Tong stepped forward to support him, and arched his hand: "General, among the ten thousand armies, as a commander, don't be this little daughter!" "The enemy array is in front, Yuwen Zhi is still like this, and even Lu Tong, who has always been gentle and loves to be a good man, can't stand it.

"The Qi people are very fierce, our army should not block hard, and defending according to the camp is the best policy, I have long said it...... I've said ...... long ago! Alas, if I knew this, why should I listen to Yu Wenxin? Yu Wenxin ...... And you, you mistook me! Yuwenzhi hurriedly wanted to go downstairs, "Xiangyang City is guarded by Tian Hong, the Qi people will definitely not be able to take it, our army only needs to send troops to attack and disturb the Qi army, so why do you have to open a posture and fight hard with the Qi people?" It is very unwise, I will order the withdrawal of troops! ”

Lu Tong was angry by the anger of the two or five out of tune, grabbed Yu Wenzhi, and almost dragged the general to his heels, "The general is not a child's play now!" It's fighting, it's killing, it's ...... The fish is dead and the net is broken! Do you understand!? Lu Tong was furious, his beard was all open, and he said: "Retreating now, it is equivalent to putting my tens of thousands of troops under the butcher's knife of the Qi people, and Yuwen Xin risking his life to fight will have no value at all!" ”

This good old man, who has always been gentle, suddenly became angry, and Yuwen Zhi was also startled, and he couldn't speak, for a while, Lu Tong arched his hand towards Yuwen with an ugly face, and the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the situation of the front army, the black tide had all been pressed up, the front army was close to collapse, the situation was quite dangerous, Lu Tong arched his hand, "The last general knows why the general is worried, but the situation in front of him is just in front of him, and he can't talk about withdrawing the army, once he retreats, our army ...... Our army may be finished...... "This time the Qi army is all armored cavalry, and it is the best at chasing the dead and chasing the north." Once most of the Zhou army retreated, not only would Yuwen Xin die, but once they bit it, none of them would want to run.

"That'...... So what do you say to do? ”

"There is no other way, just fight to the death!"

Yuwen collapsed on the ground, his face as gray as death.

The position of the front army has become a hell of blood, whether it is the Zhou army and the Qi army, both sides are fighting in this Shura field, all of them are brandishing steel knives and spears, and their mouths are bursting and fighting together, the Qi army armor cavalry is a unit of five people, and more than a dozen people are an array, hooked up with each other, and rushed towards the more dense places of the Zhou army, mainly to surround the side and harass and strike, combined with the numerical advantage, cooperate with each other to fight, and when rushing into the formation, the combat power of these dozens of people will be launched at the same time, and the depth of the place, Most of them rode alone, and they were scattered by the tenacious counter-charge led by Yu Wenxin, and many of them even lost their horses and had to dismount and fight.

Yu Wenxin led a team of sergeants carrying swords and axes to rush left and right, annihilating the Qi army armor cavalry that pounced, his helmet no longer knew where it was thrown, and the fight was quite embarrassing, covered with blood. Gao Changgong stood on top of the hill, looking down suspiciously, calculating the time, at this time he should also kill through the front army of the Zhou army, why is he still fighting at this time? This last point can't be rushed. Gao Changgong noticed the existence of Yu Wenxin, raised his horsewhip and pointed at the fighting figure, "Who is this?" The adjutant general looked at it and said, "The former general of the Zhou State, Yu Wenxin." ”

"Oh, this Yuwen Xin is amazing...... Gao Changgong was very interested, and said, "I want to live." ”

"Yes!"

In the distance, a horse and a lance picked up a Zhou pawn wearing a foot armor, and caught a glimpse of Yuwen Xin who was caught in the fight, Yuwen Xin brandished a horse chopping knife, fighting bravely in the Qi army, at this time, he slashed a Qi army, from the shoulder to the chest, just pulled out the horse chopping knife, he heard a sharp sound of breaking the wind, he subconsciously lowered his waist backwards, a blood-stained lance smashed straight over, rubbed against his forehead, drew a hideous bloody mouth, the lance retracted, Yuwen Xin's eyes flashed a fierce light, Quickly lifted the horse chopping knife and slashed horizontally, after cutting off the huge horse's head, he took advantage of the situation to cut the cavalry into two, the headless war horse collapsed, and the two bodies of the Qi army fell to the ground, and the colorful organs fell all over the ground......

Yuwen Xin has not recovered from the joy of killing the enemy, a lance came from behind, grazing his entire calf, Yu Wenxin stood unsteadily, almost fell, finally stood firm with the knife, and another long lance swung down, slammed heavily on his head, Yuwen Xin's head buzzed, and fell to the ground...... Several cavalry swept by, and with a hand, they put Yuwen Xin on their horses.

The guards who followed Yuwen Xin were stunned, and they were about to rush forward with their long knives and axes, and several Qi army armor horses turned around to meet the battle. They could only watch as their generals were taken captive. As the flanks also began to rout, the front army finally collapsed, and the left and right armies of the Zhou army began to move forward to meet the battle. Gao Changgong's face was expressionless, and he ordered: "Order them to separate to the two wings, and we ...... Against! "It's just another kill.

The Qi army's military array began to move again, rolling down from the hill like an avalanche, and the armored cavalry of the former army that had just been destroyed quickly retreated, separated to both sides, and re-established, on the wilderness, a big battle was set off again, Lu Tong and other generals led the army and the Qi people to shake the past, people turned over on their backs, and the corpses were broken all over the ground. Yu Wenzhi watched the battle situation under the watchtower, swaying, not knowing whether to make that decision, in the end, he pressed the entire Chinese army's soldiers and horses onto the gambling table, time passed quickly, Lu Tong and the rest of the generals organized the elite soldiers and horses together, spread and swept the past, desperately trying to squeeze the range of activities of the Qi army to a range that could not be used. Under the gloomy sky, five or six thousand cavalry Qi troops around tens of thousands of Zhou troops rushed back and forth, in the first time to defeat the weak left army, the flames and blood bloomed on the field, the iron cavalry of the Qi army ploughed a flesh paved road in the crowd, frantically tore all the established Zhou army in front of them, less than half an hour, the balance of victory began to fall to the Qi army.

The decline of the Zhou army has appeared, and the Qi army is also not happy, and they have been killed twice, and the battle losses are great. The number of the Zhou army is far more than that of the Qi army, and there is a general in charge, it is not so easy to save those who can be swallowed up in one bite, Gao Changgong sighed faintly, knowing that he must be the one who will suffer if he fights again, so Mingjin withdrew his troops. The Qi army's collection of troops was beyond the expectations of Lu Tong and others, but it is also common sense to think about it carefully, and then, the Zhou army also withdrew its troops, and under the command of Lu Tong and other veterans, they slowly retreated, leaving behind dead bodies all over the mountains......

Gao Chang Gonglerma stood in this Shura battlefield for a long time, until Tanma returned, "General Yu, Xiangyang is well guarded, General Ayuzi has been unable to attack for a long time, and he has withdrawn his army......"

Gao Changgong pulled the reins of his horse and slowly withdrew from the battlefield, "Pass my order, the whole army is not allowed to unload the armor, prepare enough dry food for seven days, and turn to the west!" "The Xiangyang surprise attack failed, it's time for Gao Changgong to prepare for a tough battle, and before that, there are other preparations that need to be made.

Yuwen observed the direction of the Qi army with a worried mood, and it was not until the Qi army completely withdrew that he ordered the camp to be pulled out overnight and stationed in Xiangyang.

At the same time, Yuwen directly ordered Tian Hong to lead an army of 8,000 and go south to rescue Gangneung.

Six days later, the scouts came with the news that Gao Changgong made a surprise attack and broke through Junxian, Xunxian, and Wudang counties.

Ten days later, in the southeast, Anzhou sent people to report that King Lin of Qi brought 30,000 armor and attacked from Beijiang Prefecture, and Anzhou was in danger.

Jingxiang Jiangling has become a mortal situation for the Zhou army......
