Chapter 67: The Vast Dust and Smoke, Recreating the Feat of the Year
On the boundary of Rongzhou, the eastern sky outside Yunyu County and Changchuan County is covered with fish belly white, pushing the color of the green and dark to quickly wrap the vast wilderness and the foothills in the distance.
The men and horses who had rested all night gathered again with the sound of battle horns, and the 100,000 troops of the imperial court in the north took the lead in the offensive, and the rising morning sun shone the first rays of sunlight from the clouds, and the battle broke out on the front line of the two armies.
Under the sky, the slave army and the Shibuya army rushed in formation under the leadership of the two main generals Nu Yan and Zhao Sheng, and the hysterical sound overshadowed everything, and the two armies turned into four military formations, stretching for three or four miles, and at the hundred zhang of the front line contact, the footsteps suddenly accelerated, and a charge was launched.
Far and near, the battle line stretching for several miles on the opposite side was still 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Le Jin and Dong Zhuo, many of whom were still injured. Le Jin rode on horseback, looking at the advancing soldiers, he put on the iron mask.
"Dong Zhuo, you were a national thief in the past, but now you and I are reunited here, and I will not mention it in the past, today's fight is still as regular as yesterday, you cover it for me, and I will rush to kill in the middle of the battle."
"Haha, the old man is actually quite comfortable when he listens to you scolding a national thief now, they are all old people. Today's battle, if you win, the old man invites you to drink! β
Dong Zhuo walked out of the array with the reins, looked at the other party and smiled, "The premise is that you don't die easily." β
After speaking, he turned over and got on his horse, his body tightened to support his armor, clamped the horse's belly, and the moment the horse rushed out, the 10,000 Ding'an troops divided into two military formations behind him rushed up, and as Dong Zhuo's horse crashed into the enemy formation, they followed closely.
"National thief, don't die either!"
Le Jin muttered, and then there was a continuous impact like a sea tide in front of him, and then countless hysterical voices shouted, they looked at the military formation in front of them, and the archers behind kept throwing their bows into the sky, and there were also some people who were holding their feet against the ground and holding on to the front, opening their mouths and roaring again and again.
The spear stabbed the ground and tilted, blood slowly flowed down the hilt of the spear, and dense arrows and locusts fell into the positions of both sides, and the layers of human waves were like the tide of the sea.
There is already a battle on the front line.
The shouts of killing were like a tidal wave, spears were like forest thorns, hanging out pieces of flesh and blood, and the roars and screams of people, and the golden sounds of gold and iron clashing exploded, boiling violently in the crowd.
In most of the field, the infantry and cavalry on both sides added up to 40,000 or 50,000, and the field where the two armies faced each other was full of men and horses galloping.
On the side of the battlefield, Fei Chong replaced Tang Huaiyuan and led 16,000 people from Rongzhou to enter the battlefield, wanting to attack the flank of the Ding'an Army's middle formation, but was blocked by more than 2,000 Yellow Turban believers.
On the side of the battle group, there were also Rongzhou light horsemen cruising, from time to time with bows and arrows, or looking for opportunities to break through this line of defense, cut into the banner where Su Chen was, and then was shot by arrows flying from the opponent's back, fell off the horse, one foot was tied by a rope, and was dragged to the ground by a panicked horse.
"Come on! Break away from these horsemen! Fei Chong yelled in the military formation behind.
Under the banner of Yan in the distance, He Jinchen was talking and laughing with Li Kang and a group of generals, for the current battlefield, he basically had mastered the situation, as long as he killed a period of time and demoralized the other party, the rest of the time was to encircle and annihilate the other party.
As for the burning of the grain straw in Houying last night, although it was quite demoralizing, but with Yun Yu Jun here, he could not worry about it for the time being, at least for a few more days than the other party.
Hearing the roar from the Rongzhou army on the side of the battlefield, he smiled with disdain, "I don't have the calmness of the army commander, and that's it......"
The old man pursed his lips and whispered, raising his eyes to look in the direction of the Ding'an Army, "It's finally here." β
Above the field, the earth shook.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from the direction of Ding'an City in the rear, Su Chen turned his horse, the dust rose into the sky, and a black line spread as far as the eye could reach.
"Yanshan Iron Horse?"
"Let the back formation become the front formation." Guo Jia said.
Last night, the tent was discussed, and all the generals had guessed that the other party would send cavalry to the rear to launch a surprise attack, and immediately did not show panic, and the general Zhang You immediately led the rear team to change the formation, and 5,000 people quickly formed a dense array on the periphery with the central banner as the center.
The three thousand Yanshan iron cavalry pushed over, detoured the two wings of the front line under the cover of a wave of cavalry arrows, and charged towards the back of the Chinese army, Ling Xiao clamped the spear, tried his best to the hoarse shout, stepped out of the thunderous iron cavalry, and rushed into the two sides of the array where Zhang You was from the left and right like raindrops.
"Change formation!"
In the sound of Zhang You's shouting, the spear array of the infantry soldiers under his command burst out to the left and right, stabbing at the iron armor of the cavalry and the fine armor of the war horse, the spear edge pierced the armor, the horses screamed and neighed and stood up, and some were directly in the charge, even the people and horses crashed into the dense spears, and several spearheads drilled into the flesh and blood, pierced from behind, and pushed up the scale armor on the back.
A Ding'an soldier gritted his teeth, the spear in his hand bent under the impact, and then snapped, and when he fell backwards, the wounded horse toppled down, throwing the knight above and wringing him under the horse.
The mighty Yanshan Iron Cavalry tore through both sides of the military array under Zhang You, like a swinging tide flowing down from both sides of the battle array.
In the run, the knight fell from his horse with an arrow and rolled on the ground. The companion who followed closely raised his hand and stabbed a spearman diagonally in the neck of a spearman behind the shield, and the inertia of the war horse galloping, with his arm, the Ding'an soldier was directly picked up behind the shield.
"Assault in the middle of the battle!"
The big banner with the word 'Ding'an' written on it was already in front of him, Ling Xiao roared loudly and gave an order, and when he threw the spear in his hand to pierce a foot shield, he turned his bow, drew his arrow, and pulled it up, all in one go, only to hear the banging bowstring collapse, and the arrow swished, flying over the heads of countless people, and shooting towards Su Chen, who turned back sideways.
Almost four or five steps away, next to him, someone stepped out his hand, and the arrow with the arrow was directly grabbed by the big hand, and the burly and tall man's palm was slightly forced, and the arrow snapped in his hand.
"Thief, beg for death!"
Dian Wei's beard was like a steel needle stretched out one by one, it was Ling Xiao's indescribable anger, I saw that the other party lost the broken arrow, pulled out the double halberd like a wild beast, rushed towards this side, and the intertwined Yanshan rode out a shot at the other party, and even the people and horses were arched to the ground by the other party.
Ling Xiao's eyes widened, and he directly turned around and ran.
"Thief, leave!"
A terrifying roar resounded throughout the killing field, and Dian Wei's huge body went on a rampage, and many of the cavalry who rushed over were directly overturned, or cut off the horse's head with a halberd.
Smoke and blood.
For a time, there were cavalry scurrying everywhere they passed....... the Ding'an army in the rear was also pushed over, faintly encircling the cavalry, countless impacts, some people fell, some horses fell, occasionally there was a thunderous thunder, blue and white electric light filled the field of vision, and only a few ownerless war horses screamed.
β¦β¦
In the distant mountains and forests, the branches and shrubs swayed, and a scout fell from his horse with an arrow, dragging blood and crawling out of the forest, and then was nailed to the ground by a shot.
One by one, the cavalry walked out of the edge of the forest, and the leader was dressed in heavy scale armor, and the hook and sickle pressed on the side of the yellow horse, and his eyes looked straight at the front line of the battle in the field, and then his eyes turned north, falling on the towering banner of Yan Kingdom.
"There were so many people back then, how can it be compared to Sun Quan's 100,000 people......"
Zhang Liao looked at the canopy on the chariot under the banner, slowly raised his arm, and raised the Huanglong hook and sickle above his head: "Soldiers, the enemy army is powerful, and you must first fold your might before you can turn the tide of the battle. β
"Dare!"
Behind him, the cavalrymen roared in low voices, their spears clamped under their armpits, and their legs fixed to the belly of their horses.
The beard trembled slightly in the wind, Zhang Liao smiled, his feet were a little belly of the horse, and there were no extra words, as the war horse opened its hooves and rushed down the hillside, the scales and armor trembled, and the long soldier accelerated.
"Kill!"
Behind him, a cavalryman jumped out of the forest and began to accelerate along the gentle slope.
In the distance, in front of Daxu, guarded by nearly 40,000 two armies, under the umbrella cover of the chariot, He Jinchen summoned the order to ride and arrange the encirclement.
β¦β¦
Thundered!
Hundreds of horses' hooves churned wildly, splashing countless smoke and dust.
β¦β¦
"Order Fei Chong to also lead the troops up, bypass the Taiping Road, and cooperate with the cavalry under Ling Xiao......"
His voice was slow, and the familiar sound of iron hooves sounded in his ears.
He Jinchen stopped speaking, looked at the direction of the voice, and as far as his eyes could see, a figure in the distance flew up into the air and turned into two segments.
The dust is surging, and the iron hooves are swept inβ
In the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, hundreds of cavalry broke through the smoke and dust, and had already entered a small formation of more than 1,000 people in the Longxiang army on the right side of the middle formation.
- Ascend to the front!
The yellow dragon dances, swinging, slashing, and splitting...... One by one, the soldiers of Long Xiang, who had not yet reacted, were chopping melons and vegetables, dragging the blood line to fly left and right.
The yellow dragon roared, and the amazing force slashed the body of a Longxiang soldier, the yellow horse crashed through the crowd, Zhang Liao took more than 800 horsemen to chop the waves and kill through the small formation of more than 1,000 people in front of him, and his gentle face flashed with a fierce and fierce color that he had never seen before, and he raised his hand to slash with a knife, and the sword light directly smashed the head of the soldier who blocked it, and the red and white were splashing in all directions.
"Enemy generals of the court, are you afraid of death!"
Zhang Liao's voice roared, resounding on the left flank of the Yan army.
- Megatron Escape!
The more than 800 horsemen who followed, even the people and horses were in high spirits, and directly rushed away from the nearby Long Xiang soldiers, followed behind the main general, and frantically killed the Long Xiang army.
