Chapter 360: The Dragon Fights in the Wild (4)
The clouds hung low, and the wind roared like a tiger.
Under the blue sky with scattered snow, the low sound of war drums, the sound of loud horns, the sound of neat steps, and the sound of rapid horses' hooves swept towards the Zhou army with great momentum......
The battle flag embroidered with the silver dragon on a black background rolled upside down in the wind, hunting sounded, and countless armors reflected the cold light, looking from a distance, like the waves rolled up in the sea, layer upon layer, swept in, and the momentum was amazing!
"The three armies all listened to the king's orders, and if they were afraid of the battle, they should be beheaded! Frightened, the bento should be cut off! "By His Majesty's order, the infantry of the front army advanced forward for one mile, and the left army moved closer to the middle army! "The owners of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Xiao Guo Battalion will listen to the Chinese army!" ββ¦β¦
In the large array of the Zhou army, there were constantly sentinels who gave orders to report back and forth. Yu Wenyong was surrounded by a group of generals, standing solemnly in the Chinese army, looking at the vast sea of people in front of him, he took a deep breath, and asked in a cold voice: "Where are King Zhao and Changshan Gong?" β
Yu Wenzhao and Yu Yi stepped forward when they heard the sound, dismounted and knelt down: "The minister is here!" β
"In front of us, there are at least 100,000 Qi troops, we only have 160,000 troops here, and there are still main forces on the north bank of Luoshui that have not come, and there is only a slight advantage in strength, and if we are not careful, the consequences will be unimaginable."
He looked at the two of them and said solemnly: "Originally, I wanted to delay a little time before fighting a decisive battle and save a little strength, but now it seems that it is simply impossible. If we want to defeat the enemy, we can only break the cauldron and fight to the death. β
"What does Your Majesty mean?"
"Give up the idea of preserving strength, kill and wound the enemy to the maximum, kill as many as you want, otherwise this battle will definitely be lost." A cold glint flashed in Yuwen Yong's eyes, "I know that you each have your own tribes, but I hope you don't spare that bit of strength, if I am defeated, how can your family survive alone in the world?" β
When Yu Yi and the others heard this, they roughly understood what Yu Wenyong meant, these lords from the pillar country, who doesn't have hundreds of thousands of private soldiers and subordinates? Xianbei people are just that, Hanchen is mostly local heroes, strong strength, it is not impossible to pull out thousands of people in minutes, and these private soldiers and troops are often better equipped than the government army, and their combat effectiveness is slightly stronger.
Taking the Xue clan in Hedong as an example, the elite of the Xue clan's private soldiers is famous all over the world, and Hongnong Yang also has the Yang clan wall as the basic, which should not be underestimated...... The time is really different, do you want to change the face that Yu Wenyong pulled in the past?
Several people looked at each other, quickly made a decision, and said: "The ministers understand, the ministers will immediately provide their own soldiers, form another army, and charge for Your Majesty!" Yu Wenyong nodded with satisfaction.
In the formation of the Zhou army, the drums sounded again, and the Zhou army, which had been built into several large squares, began to advance forward.
"Yuwen Yong actually wants to take the initiative to attack?" Yang Suzheng stood on the battlewall to watch the battle, and the deputy general on the side was surprised, "He has just been defeated for a while, and his morale has not had time to recover, and he has no strength at all against us, where he has the confidence to dare to take the initiative to attack, is he crazy?" β
Yang Suding was wearing a heavy iron armor with a cold light, squinting his eyes and looking around, before he said: "It is because I have just been defeated for a while, so I must seize the opportunity...... You look at the topography here. β
The adjutant general's gaze followed Yang Su's point, on the side of the plain, the Yellow River flowed surgingly, "This place is really narrow, even if there are hundreds of thousands of people fighting on both sides, it may be only fifty or sixty thousand as a fist, and it is impossible to fully unfold it...... Yu Wenyong also understood, so he first retreated a few miles, and when our army pressed forward, the unfavorable terrain would be ours.
"Sometimes, if you retract your fist, you will hit it back more powerfully, so Yu Wenyong chose to launch it early after retreating...... The purpose is to suppress our cavalry and reduce the depth of the whole army, if the forward is good enough, and the left and right flanks are timely in support, he can force the entire front to push back, and it is not impossible for the front army to be killed in front of the forbidden ditch. β
The adjutant general smacked his tongue, and Yang Su said again: "Of course, this is impossible, if the Zhou army really has this combat effectiveness, why let us fight all the way from Hangu?" I am familiar with that Fan Zigai, he is quite disciplined in his use of soldiers, he is the number one person, and several of the most elite battalions of my army are arranged under his command, if this can make Yuwen Yong turn defeat into victory, then he can die. β
Everyone was relieved at this time, and there were still a few generals who said in a sour tone: "Fan Zigai has made a lot of meritorious contributions recently, and I heard that His Majesty has also rewarded him. β
Listening to the complaints of the generals, Yang Su had a happy look on his face for the first time, and said a rare word, "Not necessarily, what if Fan Zigai is pressed back against the offensive of the Zhou army?" As I said a long time ago, this place can only be used for a maximum of 50,000 or 60,000 people, and no more will be able to spread out...... Therefore, the last honor of being crowned a prince and a king must be ours. β
Yang Su said this, glancing at the left rear. Murong Yan, the prime minister of the left, had already come down from the pier platform and stood in the middle army, his eyes were as sharp as a falcon, staring at the battlefield for a moment...... Yang Su withdrew his gaze, and followed with solemnity, no matter how the subordinates asked, he no longer answered, but indifferently ordered: "Prepare the ship and listen to the sound of the drum." β
From the very beginning, the whole battle strategy was clear and clear...... Zuo Xiang Murong Yan fought against the Southern Dynasties in Huainan for a long time, and was well versed in the art of war of the Southern Dynasties. The generals of the Northern Dynasties often like to concentrate their forces, break the enemy army in one fell swoop, and then encircle and suppress them.
These are two different kinds of strategic thinking, and it is this kind of thinking that Lao Murong uses.
The terrain here is narrow but gentle, and it is close to the Yellow River, Yuwen Yong's army and the Qi National Iron Brigade are hard to shake head-on, it is inevitable that the left and right armies will go together, and it is inevitable that the Chinese army will be empty and unprotected, and it is a good opportunity for Lao Murong to take advantage of the void to enter!
In winter, the Yellow River flows slowly, and even if it is downstream, you can go upstream...... To put it simply, it is possible to take advantage of the life-and-death battle between Yuwen Yong and the Qi army head-on, and send another army to carry out a landing and decapitation operation!
The war drums were like thunder, and suddenly they exploded. The marching army gradually stopped, column by column, row by row, battle formation after battle, stretching for several miles, a sea of people, boundless.
As Wei Xuan drew his blade and shouted, "Kill the enemy!" The morale of the soldiers of the Zhou army was suddenly boosted to the extreme, and the roar swept over the battle formation like a tsunami, and the earth trembled...... Gao Wei stood on the pier platform, closely watching the battlefield below, Murong Yan was unmoved, his old and sturdy body was straight, and around him, tens of thousands of soldiers were waiting for him, and the iron armor glowed with a faint cold light.
On Yuwen Yong's side, Yuwen Zhao, Yuwen Shenju, Yu Yi and others looked solemnly at the enemy battle formation in the distance.
"Our first task is to destroy the front army of the Qi State, and then cut off the route of outflanking the left and right flanks of the Qi army, use the advantage of troops to completely annihilate its front army and the left and right flanks, and forcibly attack us The loss is great, but it is worth it from the overall situation."
"Wei Xuan took five thousand iron horsemen, rushed into battle first, took the lead in tearing through the middle defense of the Qi army, and chiseled all the way in, not giving Gao Wei any respite." Yu Wenyong said, "If the middle lane is attacked, there will inevitably be chaos on both sides, and that is our opportunity." β
In the Qi army's array, Lao Murong was also talking about this matter, "At the beginning of the war, the main attack of the Zhou army must be the middle road, there is no doubt about it...... But our main attack is not the front army, but the right army, the front army does not take killing and charging as the top priority, our task is to entangle and surround the front army of the Zhou State as quickly as possible, and then quickly move to the left flank battlefield, and strive to collapse and defeat the left flank before Yang Su makes a move! β
"The Guanzhong War is related to the great cause of our dynasty to unify the north and the south and determine the world, we can't be defeated, and we can't afford to lose, please work hard to fight!"
"If Wei Xuan breaks into the front army, it will be forgotten if we entangle with it, we just need to gather the main force to annihilate the enemy's left flank...... The left wing collapses, the right wing is copied, the morale will inevitably be weakened, and the morale of the army will inevitably be in chaos, then we can no longer hide it, take the opportunity to cover up, and defeat the enemy army! β
Zhou Jun, Wei Xuan took a deep breath of winter cold air, and the cold air poured into the cranial cavity, which was refreshing.
"βWith! I! Rush!! β
He raised the spear in his hand, and the horse paced forward slowly, and then began to accelerate, and the black crushing cavalry followed him, and the smoke and dust billowed like a roaring winter thunder...... Fan Zigai looked at the front with resolute eyes, estimating the speed, strength, and reinforcements of the Zhou army, and when the two armies were less than two hundred paces, he shouted:
"Order the crossbowmen of all divisions to fire three rounds in a salvo!"
The crossbowmen hidden behind the infantry raised their bows and arrows in unison, raised them slightly at an angle, and with a "crisp buzz, the dense feathered arrows plunged into the ground and lined up in a line, which was the longest range of the bow and arrows."
Once Zhou Jun dares to cross this line, his end will be to become a hedgehog!
Wei Xuan's cavalry lined up into an awl, the speed of the horse had increased to the fastest, like thunder, the moment the horse's hooves crossed the line, a black cloud of bows and arrows suddenly flew out from the top of the head of the Qi army, like flying locusts, facing the Zhou army fiercely pounced, thousands of arrows rained down, countless people fell in this rain......
"Buzzing ......" was another loud bang, and the moment the black cloud rose, even the sky was darkened, and a bloody aura enveloped the battlefield.
Wei Xuan pulled out the arrow that pierced into the shoulder armor, didn't even look back, and continued to rush into the formation, and there were constantly cavalry falling under the horse in the dense fire of the Qi army.
One of the general's horses was hit by arrows, and the horses collapsed in the middle of the run, and the general's body was pushed out by the huge inertia, and his cervical vertebrae were completely torn, and he died in a strange position with his head on the ground......
This is a battle between life and death.
But so what?
A boy was born in heaven and earth, isn't what he asks for is a vigorous one?!
Fan Zigai looked ahead, the rain of arrows had just fallen, and Wei Xuan rushed over with a spear......
Under the sky, two fierce beasts fought together!
