Chapter 172: A Test of Willpower, and Luck
Zhao Qi, who is twenty years old this year, took on such an important task independently for the first time, and his heart was so nervous that his body trembled involuntarily.
He took a few deep breaths, calmed down as soon as possible, and called a few teams to his side, according to Guo Rui's previous plan, face to face.
Everyone nodded their heads and rode their horses quietly into the back camp.
It is said that Long Jianfei's cavalry of nearly 8,000 people carried out the military order of the young marshal and went to the left flank fifty miles away to meet the enemy.
His cavalry was the fullest force at present, with few casualties.
But in the face of a well-equipped, heavily armored leopard master with a crescent crescent sword and a crossbow riding with ions, Long Jianfei's riding department is really not enough.
Every knight is skilled in horsemanship, brave and good at fighting, and they are accustomed to the 'wolf' tactics.
The two knives were placed horizontally, and the horse galloped forward, not allowed to turn back.
Heru divided the five thousand ions into three tiers, each sortie of fifteen hundred horsemen, and then withdrew, and the second echelon went up... The third echelon...
This kind of uninterrupted wheel warfare, the wolf-like charge, made the final Jin army miserable.
It had only been more than an hour since the start of the war, and Long Jianfei's cavalry suffered more than thirty percent casualties.
He didn't dare to let the cavalry go out of battle again, and fight against the attached ions.
Fortunately, he was originally from an infantry army, and he rode 800 infantry into battle, so he laid up spear arrays, crossbow arrays and other fortifications, barely resisting.
But in the face of the continuous sprinting of the attached ions, the final soldiers have been highly nervous, their hands and feet have not been rested, they are all sore, and their movements have become sluggish.
"General, we can't resist it, let's withdraw."
A defeated sub-battalion general begged with a sad face.
As soon as the words fell, Long Jianfei slashed it to the ground with a knife, and shouted loudly:
"Brothers, we must resist, the young marshal has not withdrawn yet, we have withdrawn, that is, they will flee from the battle, the young marshal will face the catastrophe of annihilation, give me to resist, who dares to take a step back and make a decision."
Long Jianfei's resolute look at this time, and his behavior of killing the fleeing general, still had a deterrent effect.
What's more, the Turkic soldiers and horses are fast and horsemanlike, and even if they retreat, they can't get rid of the fate of being killed.
"Brothers, if you fight with the Turkic barbarians, our Yunzhong County defenders are not muddy."
“???”
Desperate to survive, the cauldron was destroyed, and the morale of the Jin army was greatly boosted, and the cavalry abandoned their horses to join the spear array and crossbow formation, giving a lot of blows to the Turkic attachments.
These 5,000 ions are Helukeji's baby bumps, and he is not used to fight for his life on the battlefield, but the icing on the cake.
In the face of the stubborn resistance of the final Jin army, he had no choice but to give up the continuous attack and wait for the battle situation in the direction of Yingzui Ridge.
This stupid move saved the Dragon Sword Flying Department of the Final Jin Army, and in essence, it also saved the entire Northern Xinjiang Field Army of the Final Jin Dynasty.
Taking advantage of this respite, Long Jianfei made timely adjustments to the troops, built fortifications, and treated the wounded, including wounds.
"Your Highness, Eagle Tsui Ridge has turned into an offensive battle, and the final Jin cavalry has launched a sharp attack, as if Mu Tony can't parry."
A captain of the scouts, with ions, rode his horse from a distance, and when he had reached the tent and dismounted, he rushed in to give a report.
"What?"
Helu said angrily: "20,000 horses can't beat a tired army of 5,000? As long as they are routed and repelled. ”
"Your Highness, let's continue to attack the army in front of us, only by defeating them, the Leopard Division will attack Guo Rui from the left side, forming a two-sided flank attack, and we can make a breakthrough."
A general suggested.
"Okay, it seems that we can only rely on our attachment ions, order the troops, after half an hour, find a continuous attack, and move the opposite side of Long Jianfei's stepping stone." Heru gritted his teeth and agreed.
There's really no other way around it at the moment.
"Your Highness." The general gave up his hand and withdrew from the tent to execute.
Half a moment later, the Leopard Division launched another tidal attack.
But Long Jianfei's side has been rectified and adjusted for more than half an hour, and he has been waiting for him.
The contest between the two sides has begun again.
Long Jianfei prayed that Guo Rui's frontal battlefield could defeat Mu Toni's Eagle Division as soon as possible, and he himself could withdraw from the battlefield in batches.
It's easier said than done.
In other words, the frontal battlefield is now in a state of stalemate, and the two sides are fighting inseparably.
The armor on Wei Chijing's body left many knife marks, and the copper heart guard on his chest was cut in half, and he didn't know where he flew.
From the helmet to the body, it was splashed with drops of blood, as if it had just come out of a bath in the blood water.
From the left wing to the right wing, in half an hour, he and Zhou Dalang converged.
The two joined forces and once again broke through the 5,000 Turkic soldiers who had come up with reinforcements.
"Kill back, kill back!"
Zhou Dalang stared at the leopard's eyes, and the ring head knife in his hand had already cut out several gaps.
As soon as he burst out of the enemy line, he turned back in an arc and plunged headlong into the enemy group.
He was scarred and ruined by the brand-new Bright Light Armor.
He was stabbed in the head, and his helmet was missing.
Fortunately, the knife only shaved off most of his hair, revealing the baldness in the middle, and shaved off a piece of oily skin.
Although it looked terrifying to be bleeding all over his face, it didn't stop him at all
Fierce as ever.
Wei Chijing glanced worriedly in the direction of the Chinese army.
Mu Toni and his clan soldiers ignored the left and right flanks at all, and he was determined to destroy the Chinese army first.
At this time, the commanders Guo Rui and Guo Yunchang, Zhou Yongshan, the two left and right guards, as well as the troops led by them, had fallen into the siege of the Turks.
The sagittal front formation that first charged has now become a circular defensive formation.
More than 1,500 Jin riders have now fallen, and half of them have fallen.
Cavalry combat, once it becomes this kind of circular defense, basically means that it is difficult to surprise again.
can only support and wait for foreign aid.
If there is no foreign aid, the final outcome will be slowly consumed until it reaches zero.
Only the military flag and the handsome flag of the Chinese army always stand firmly in the center of the circle.
Guo Rui was calm, he didn't have the slightest intention of summoning Wei Chijing and Zhou Dalang to come to the rescue.
"Kill their camp!"
Here, Wei Chi Jing gritted his teeth, roared, and once again smashed into the right flank of the Turkic soldiers.
The left and right flanks of the Turkic soldiers were already broken at this time, and if it had been changed in peacetime, Mutoni would have already blown the trumpet and retreated.
But today, he is full of ruthlessness.
neither blows the trumpet to retreat, nor sends troops to the left and right flanks to support, and is determined to eat the Chinese army Guo Rui first.
Even if you lose your left and right wings for this, you don't hesitate to do so.
"Kill... Kill it..."
With blood-red eyes and brandishing a Xuanhua axe, Mutoni drove his soldiers to charge forward continuously.
He himself rushed to the forefront.
If he can't eat the Chinese army this way before the left and right flanks completely collapse, what awaits him will be another complete defeat.
At this time, I don't know how long the battle has been going on, and anyway, I haven't seen Helu's reinforcements arrive.
What are this princes waiting for, five thousand well-equipped attachments can't break through Long Jianfei's defensive position?
He didn't know something, and He Lu was also blaming him at this time, he couldn't defeat Guo Rui.
Now, the whole situation is wringing, victory and defeat are instantaneous, and what is honed is the will to fight on both sides, as well as luck.
