Chapter 361: Dragon Fights in the Wild (End)
Bands of cavalry crouched on horseback, spears and knives in their hands...... No one knew how many people there were, but they saw that all the light in front of them was obscured, like the furious waves rolled up by the tide, rolling backwards towards the Qi army.
The earth is trembling!
The infantry standing at the forefront was also trembling, five thousand cavalry was already the largest cavalry corps in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty only had a total of 20,000 cavalry, and no general could still maintain a normal state of mind under a charge of this scale. Due to the terrain, the Northern Qi did not dare to hedge with the Zhou army here, and the only combat force that could be relied on was the infantry armor.
Can it be blocked?
This thought only came to Fan Zigai's mind for a moment, and then he threw it out of his mind. Now it's a matter of life and death, and it's over, where is so much spare time to think about this?
After Wei Xuan broke into the big array, a large number of cavalry troops immediately arrived, and the iron cavalry crashed into the thorny jungle composed of spears, turning up layers of blood waves! Countless screams collided with the sound of gold and iron clashing.
From a high place, looking down from the perspective of Gao Wei, you will see that the Zhou army is like a sharp awl, breaking into the front line of the Qi army, and at the moment when the two armies collided, the Qi army was given huge casualties!
Wei Xuan's charging array was too fierce, which also made the order of the Qi army destroyed and disrupted within a period of time, and it could not be established at all, and it could only be further scuttled into it by the Zhou army...... However, in the end, the Northern Qi Forbidden Army, which was established at a great cost, even withstood such a ferocious attack, it still restored order in a short period of time.
In the midst of the fierce battle, the officers at all levels still methodically issued orders and led their men and horses to their positions: the spearmen stepped forward, the infantry armor was back, and the crossbowmen leaned to the sides...... Relying on the favorable terrain, it is lined up layer by layer, ready to attack.
The herald even pulled his throat and shouted in the middle of the chaos: "Hold steady, don't mess up your own position, everyone will be in their place, and those who rebel will be beheaded!" Hold on a little longer, the crossbowmen are ready, and the armor is forward! ”
Zhou Jun was also crazy: "Rush, rush!" There is no retreat, kill the Qi generals under the banner, and the Qi people will be defeated! "No retreat, no retreat!" Rush forward and destroy the enemy formation! ”…… After a short charge, tearing apart the Qi army's front, the Zhou army failed to destroy the Qi people in an instant, the speed of the war horse was already much slower, and the Qi army's infantry armor was surging in all directions, which was extremely disadvantageous for almost the Zhou army.
Once the cavalry slowed down and was trapped in place, its combat effectiveness was incomparable to that of the infantry armor, and a spearman could easily pick them out, in fact, this situation began at the moment when the Qi army restored order in advance...... The few cavalry teams that had just penetrated into the deepest part were momentarily dumbfounded after seeing the layers of foot armor, and in the blink of an eye, they were drowned in a sea of thorns.
Just now they were still hunting tigers and leopards, and in a blink of an eye, they became sheep who were divided by wolves, not only the previous ones, but the rest of the people and horses also encountered this situation one after another, and they were about to expand the results of the battle, and pushed the Qiren front forward in one go, and they encountered such an embarrassing situation, as if they were suddenly woken up at the peak of their lives, and it turned out to be a dream.
Zhou Jun was at a loss for a moment, and then deeply panicked.
After all, the charge just now was only by virtue of blood bravery, and when it came to real kung fu, this group of troops that had been established for less than two years was of course not as good at fighting as the Northern Qi forbidden army brought by the Qi lord from Yecheng and Jinyang.
Of course, Wei Xuan knew what situation he was facing, but they had all broken through here, either destroying the enemy or dying, he had no choice but to take advantage of the blood in the hearts of the soldiers who had not yet dispersed, and rushed forward bravely!
"Wei Xuan is amazing." Cushman & Wakefield was on the pier platform and could see it clearly.
Kaifu Yi and the third secretary Xi Changle and the general of Wuwei Zhang Changshan were accompanying him, and when they heard this, they smiled and said: "Now this Nuoda pseudo-Zhou is only this Wei Xuan." "Rong Ma has been martyred all his life, but he is also heroic. ”
Cushman shook his head and said no more.
At this time, the left wing of the Zhou army also began to move, and Lao Murong ordered a main force to meet the battle, and at the same time indifferently ordered: "Tell Yang Su that after the three drums, the soldiers and boats will be sent together, and if you dare to be a moment earlier or a moment later, I will cut off his head." ”
His gaze swept forward, Wei Xuan's flag was tilted, moving around, but it had not yet fallen, and he always felt unsteady when he didn't see this old thing die. Several times I wanted to go to the front army to supervise the battle in person, but I remembered that I had already instructed Fan Zigai before, and the strength of the front army was also extremely strong, so I temporarily suppressed the depression in my heart and once again focused on the future battle situation.
The cavalry of the Zhou army charged no less than 5,000, and it was like the tide of the sea, boundless. Not to mention, after Wei Xuan chiseled into the enemy formation, there were still many people coming in a steady stream...... In other words, after the dispersal, Wei Xuanshang can gather considerable combat power to attack another wave.
However, how could Northern Qi really succeed in his planning for days? Old Murong sent another left army to meet the battle, which was actually equivalent to cutting off Wei Xuan's back road, making nearly 10,000 Zhou troops a real lone army.
Before the Zhou army gathered again, the crossbowmen who had been watching from the side for a long time exerted their strength again, and shot at them intensively, and the Zhou army was immediately shot on their backs...... Fan Zigai is waiting for now!
I saw that the general didn't say a word, only waved his hand, and more than a thousand heavily armored foot soldiers stood up neatly with long axes.
Wei Xuan saw it from afar, and he was shocked in his heart, the cavalry of the Zhou army had not yet formed a formation, before that, who would dare to keep up with the thousand-step armor? Not to mention the charge, it's good that the war horses can run, at this time they are still braving a round of arrows and arrows from Qi people, and fighting with them is looking for death, and people don't need to waste much energy, they can kill this group of people one by one!
As a result, everyone who saw this scene felt a burst of sweat standing on their backs...... It's not blown by the cold wind, it's that I really feel the threat of death! As soon as Wei Xuan wanted to order his men to scatter away, the Qi soldiers divided into three and surrounded them on all sides.
In the Zhou army, Yu Wenyong was a little impatient, the front army had already gone up, and the left army had already exchanged hands with the Qi people, and the battle had been fought for more than an hour, and both sides had already played out their dog brains, and there was not much good news coming.
On the contrary, it was the founding ceremony of the Zhou State, Tong Zongting, who died at the beginning of the battle, which slightly frustrated the spirit of the Zhou State...... This is not the end, because immediately after the news that the general Han Ming was killed in battle and the capture of Liangcheng Gong Xingshao also came one after another.
Only then did Yuwen Yong realize that something was wrong, Wei Xuan's lone army was still fighting with the Qi people in full swing, but this left army with many generals and a wide range of soldiers came one after another with the news of the general's beheading, especially after the Yan clan Gong Yisheng was also beheaded, Yuwen Yong couldn't sit still at all: "What's the matter?" I entrusted King Zhao (Yuwen Zhao) and King Chen (Yu Wenchun) with 30,000 soldiers, is it so vulnerable?! ”
After that, he was going to press the soldiers and horses of the right army up, and Yu Wensheng, the general manager of the soldiers and horses of the right army, advised hard, and said: "The country of Qi does not defend against the front, but attacks my left flank, there must be fraud in it, Your Majesty should wait and see for a while, and it is not appropriate to make a rash decision." ”
"Do you want me to sit back and watch my tens of thousands of troops die?" Yu Wenyong was furious, and then turned his head to ask the commanders of the Second Army and the Third Army on the Right Yu Wenjian and Yu Wenliang, the Gonggong of Qiguo.
There was not much strategy in the minds of these two people, and they couldn't see anything from the chaotic battle situation in front of them, and even if they could see it, they didn't have the courage to refute the emperor's will, so they said it according to the emperor's intentions.
Yuwen was angry and insisted on refusing to send out the right army, and there was a stalemate between the monarch and the minister for a while.
At this time, Wei Xuan's place, Qi Guo's infantry armor has been covered from all sides, the sound of killing shook the sky, its sound was like thunder, shaking the four fields, and after the hundreds of heavy armor long axe soldiers in front of him poured up, they directly broke into the cavalry of the Zhou army, and slashed it recklessly! The cavalry of the Zhou State is still quite a lot, but they have lost their ability to maneuver, and they are no different from lambs to be slaughtered - anyway, they are all pestles in place for people to cut down!
Fan Zigai shouted even more presumptuously: "Don't get away with Wei Xuan!" ”
At this moment, it was probably the last highlight of Wei Xuan's life, the Qi army's infantry armor was covered, and he led his own guards to fight endlessly, and a spear flew up and down in his hand, trying to tear apart the encirclement of the Qi army, but this effort was doomed to be in vain.
The Zhou army had no heart to fight and had begun to collapse, and the soldiers who rushed with him were gradually killed and wounded.
Wei Xuan fell into the encirclement, and when he was fighting hard, a long knife stabbed from the side of his waist and pierced Wei Xuan's armor, and before he could stab in, Wei Xuan stabbed a spear into his arms, and then, he followed with an unbelievable speed is a punch, smashing the person to the ground.
"Kill!" Wei Xuan dismounted and fought, stretched out his hands, grabbed the necks of the two infantry armors, slammed their heads together, and then snatched the long knife with one hand, roared the tiger, and pierced through the person who attacked him head-on.
The armor soldier was extremely fierce, although Wei Xuan pierced it with a knife, he still took a step forward and slashed at Wei Xuan's shoulder socket with an axe, and more people around him swarmed up......
Yu Wenyong watched the battle in front of the battle, and the guards presented him the head that had just been cut off, and Yu Wensheng's head was held in a lacquer plate, and his eyes widened, as if he was dead......
In a fit of rage, Yu Wenyong finally chose to make a desperate gamble and pressed the right army up, but the whole battle showed no signs of improvement, but was developing in a worse direction.
First of all, the left army collapsed, Yuwenchun and Yuwenzhao passively parried, the general Dou Gong died in battle, Yue Wang Yuwensheng fled without a fight (the same name as the previous one, Yuwentai's tenth son), Guanghua Gongqiu Chong died in battle......
The bad news came one after another, and all the civil and military officers of the Zhou State showed sad expressions, and Yu Wenyong gritted his teeth and held on until he reported that there were many ships on the left side of the army.
Yu Wenyong's face suddenly turned pale!
