Chapter 119: Zhao Yun is not old, and he can also rush into battle
Arrows shot into the sky one after another, and the cavalry who gave the order and the scouts with the news were galloping frantically on the field for more than ten miles.
The sun rose into the sky, and it was almost noon, and a total of 41,000 Gongwei Banners, including Hu Ben, Long Xiang, Yan Xun Qi, and Yanshan Iron Cavalry, continued to send and receive news from all walks of life, and the news that the 6,000 Shibuya Army and 2,000 Yanshan Iron Cavalry in the north were deterred, and the news that the slave army in the south had defected had come late yesterday night.
Guo Xin understood the opponent's strategy of attacking and defending the Yi type, and successively issued a series of orders to gather the rout, retract the formation, and consolidate the middle formation, but what he was waiting for was the news of a greater rout ahead.
The scouts arrived from more than ten miles away with news, and one after another the news of the defeat followed.
Four thousand Shibuya troops defeated! The enemy rushed straight to the slave army, and the 2,000 slave army defected! Four thousand tigers met the battle, were rushed six miles in a row, the whole line was defeated, and Yan Shuqing was captured! The defense line of the Longxiang army was broken, the general Zhou Bing was killed, and the state army turned to the east!
In the battle report that flew like snowflakes, 12,000 enemy troops were killing the armies of Huben and Long Xiang who were deployed in the middle of the road, and snowballed into 22,000 troops.
Among them were the 6,000 slaves who defected, and the 4,000 Bingzhou troops on the southern flank.
In other words, the left wing of the concave formation has been completely cut off, and the opponent can fight unhindered to the middle formation. At this time, Guo Xin had only 16,000 Huben in his hands, 16,000 Longxiang troops, and 2,000 Yanshan iron cavalry, all of which were only three or four miles away from the formation.
"Ordered Hu Ben Li Kang, Long Xiang and Zheng Yao each with 10,000 soldiers to arrange a defensive line five miles ahead, and use the tunnel, the rejection of horses, and the ghost gate crossbow together to drag the enemy here; It is also rumored that Yanshan rode Gu Zhaowu to attack back! ”
With the order of the general, the order to gallop to the armies, the huge army formation was mobilized, the two main forces of Huben and Longxiang left the formation and rushed to Wuli to set up a defense, and at this time in the west, the five soldiers and horses drove a large number of routs to the east, and quickly interspersed in the wilderness, mountains and forests.
"A Yanshan iron cavalry traveled around the north, intending to take a detour; In front of us are two armies, Tiger Ben and Long Xiang, who are building defenses and seem to be nailing us here! ”
"Don't pay attention to the Yanshan Iron Cavalry, Lu Bu's wolf cavalry happens to be with Guan Zhang, he should be able to detect the movement of this cavalry!"
In the advancing army, Zhang Liao rode his horse to the Xiliang army, found Dong Zhuo to discuss the current information, and then a scout came back: "Qiqi two generals, you can see the two armies of the imperial court." ”
Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes, turned back to Zhang Liao and said, "Rushed him?" ”
"Rush him!"
Zhang Liao set his horse to catch up with the main formation, rushed to the front of everyone, and when it spread through the woods, the soldiers and horses of Dong Zhuo, Zhou Cang, and Niu Gai on the left and right, as well as the 6,000 slaves, had already rushed out of the forest and galloped wildly in the wilderness
"Kill-" Zhang Liao crossed the edge of the forest, rushed to the wilderness, dragged the Yellow Dragon Hook Sickle, and frantically urged the war horse.
In the crowd, Zhou Cang and Niu Gai galloped wildly, waving their weapons: "Kill!" ”
"Kill—"
There were countless roars and shouts on the field, and the running figures did not have any formation, without any constraints, like a torrent that broke the embankment, and the entire field and forest were full of wild figures, swept towards the 20,000 people on the opposite side, and the ground trembled under the feet of countless wild runs.
Li Dang maintained the military formation, looking at the crowd full of people, his eyes widened, and his scalp was numb and he scolded: "Mother's ......"
Subsequently, shouting that the whole army resisted.
The two armies of Huben and Longxiang, who spanned several miles of defense line, were momentarily stunned, and then reacted, and the layers of Sima and the lieutenant roared and issued orders, and then the pit and the rejection of horses put on a defensive formation, and set up more than a dozen ghost crossbows, but only one round was shot, and a few people were taken away.
The next moment.
The horse's hooves rolled wildly, stepping on the edge of the pit and jumping up, Zhang Liao swung his knife in mid-air, smashing into the array in front, the crowd behind him was surging and rushing, the first group of soldiers jumped directly into the pit with their shoulders against the soles of their feet one by one, and the soldiers who stepped on their shoulders above, with the most savage attitude, followed the general into the opponent's array-
"Ahhh Knock them over! ”
Galloping, Zhou Cang and Niu Gai used to be fierce generals who rushed to kill the array, and at this time, I don't know how many people were around, after jumping off the war horse, stepping on the shoulders in the tunnel, roaring angrily, and crashing into a shield that ushered in.
Countless swords and spears stabbed from the opposite side, splashing blood, Zhou Cang: "Ah! With a loud shout, the heavy blade smashed the shield in front of him with the sound of breaking wind, he was extremely powerful, and the blade of the knife was swung to the extreme, and the shield in front of him, as well as the person behind the shield, were instantly slashed out by the incomparable force.
On the side, when the head of the spear stabbed, Niu Gai smashed the spear with a shield and yelled at Zhou Cang: "You are left, I am right!" He immediately took a dozen pro-soldiers and rushed to the right side of the front line.
On the continuous front, more figures were killed together, and the ferocious dancing weapons struggled forward to smash and press the two armies of Tiger Ben and Long Xiang to push forward, and the sound of long soldiers and sword soldiers fighting and ping pong broke out continuously.
Dong Zhuo killed into the pile, he exuded a bloody breath, his eyes were slightly red, and the Xiliang soldiers who followed him had a violent spirit beyond common sense, and they fought on the front line desperately.
Zhang Liao smashed into the tiger array, waved the hook and sickle in his hand back and forth, and when he turned around, he saw that the few horses following him were besieged, turned the horse's head, killed back again, broke a gap, and roared with his knife: "Those who are not afraid of death continue to rush with me!" ”
The whole front was shaken.
The battle here was fierce, and Guo Xin, who was more than ten miles away, didn't react much when he received the news, and the information in his hand was telling him that he seemed to have missed something.
"On the seventeenth, the two wings of the other party will advance to the north and south of Yushan Plain, and fight and go, opening up seventeen miles!"
"On the 18th, I counterattacked and walked again...... The scout was chased by the opposing cavalry......"
The old man seemed to have grasped some key information, and his face suddenly changed.
"Not only is it easy to attack and defend, but it also attracts my attention to the battlefield in the middle, the deterrence of the two flanks is actually a feint, and the real purpose is to arrange ......"
He immediately called the herald, "Command the rear battalion, immediately shrink towards the center!" ”
When the anxious order was still on the way, in the sun of nearly noon, the figures of war horses maintained their physical strength and moved forward slowly, and about two miles away from the rear battalions of county soldiers, one by one the figures dismounted and changed, and the sunlight shone on them with a metallic reflection.
Li Wei put on an iron helmet to cover his rough face, and a heavy iron armor twisted and knocked loudly, and from behind him, six hundred heavy horsemen slowly gathered, and the iron chains were straightened and fastened to the special iron ring at the front of the saddle.
He looked at the several battalions of enemy foot soldiers on standby in front of him, slowly raised his arm, and slowly opened his mouth.
"Ready!"
Six hundred and one rode slowly on the field, and after a few feet, the speed gradually increased.
……
In the long battle, there were almost no orders to come, and they kept the formation but mostly sat on the ground to rest.
Several battalions of soldiers and horses in the northeast corner, some of them were illuminated by the reflected light of metal, turned their heads, and then suddenly got up and shouted: "Cavalry! ”
……
The slowly flowing cavalry formation gradually accelerated, and Yafeng's formation began to spread left and right, and when he approached the military formation that had risen in a panic over there, Li Dao clamped the big gun and roared: "Xiliang heavy cavalry, kill!" ”
In a moment, the six hundred heavy horsemen accelerated violently, and a huge roar instantly shook the earth, facing this hot sun, and slapped towards the sea of people in the most savage way.
The local soldiers who got up in a hurry turned pale with fright from this sudden cavalry charge, and the lieutenant colonel kept shouting that the soldiers under his command would shrink their formations and move closer to each other.
However, in the face of the heavy cavalry with dust and smoke and roaring, his scalp suddenly became numb, and it became difficult to breathe, and in the last voice, he was still shouting: "Raise the shield and the gun-"
The figures of the soldiers facing the heavy cavalry in front of them trembled from trembling to trembling like chaff, and some of them could not bear the great sense of oppression, lost their weapons, let out a scream of fear, turned and ran.
The next moment, the sprinting cavalry magnified in their field of vision.
Iron riders are pouring in like a tidal wave.
Six hundred cavalrymen wearing gorgeous heavy armor, two in a team, the entire charging formation was in the shape of the word 'pin', Li Dao took the lead and directly crashed into the crowded crowd.
The high-speed war horse, wearing iron armor, knocked down the soldiers one by one, and then rolled under the hooves, churning iron hooves and stepping densely on the ground, all with the sound of crackling flesh and bones crushing.
Straddling the iron chain in the middle of the heavy cavalry, it kept shaking, and the soldiers were glad that they were not hit by the war horses, and they were stopped by the iron chains in an instant, and after the iron horses rushed into the crowd, they spread, and pieces of people were scraped to the ground, spreading straight in the direction of the middle formation, and the ground in the past was full of dead and wailing bodies.
Li Wei urged the war horse to rush forward for a moment, and the big gun in his hand frantically swung left and right, at this time, he remembered where the veteran who followed was.
His eyes swept over the left and right pieces of imperial court soldiers, and finally saw the white-robed figure on the right side, in the rumbling iron hooves, he had already entered the crowd, a spear, picking, smashing, stabbing, and hitting......
The gentian danced wildly, and the soldiers who rushed from the front, left and right, were instantly beaten to the head and bleeding, and the bones were shattered.
"Changshan Zhao Zilong is old-"
The gentian was swept away with astonishing force, with a series of afterimages, slashing around, and the soldiers who pounced on them were frantically sent back.
Arrows flew.
The white war horse crashed through the crowd and surrounded it, Zhao Yun dragged the white robe, chopping the waves and killing through the small array of hundreds of people in front of him, and between the gray beard and stroking, he saw the general who was coming up with red eyes, and randomly poked the head of a lieutenant with a shot, pulled it out, and the red and white splashed everywhere, falling on the faces of the soldiers around, frightening many people to retreat.
"Hehe......"
Even though he is old, Zhao Yun is very familiar with the battlefield now, as if he is as easy as returning home, even if there are no generals available for the time being, but his martial arts are already a masterpiece, and he is even more exquisite than the master back then.
What's more, coming back to life, the changes in this world made him feel that even his old body had stronger strength than before.
Facing it, a general who rushed out led hundreds of people to intercept the front, Zhao Yun leaned his horse, clamped the horse's belly, and rushed up directly.
In the next second, the two horses made a mistake, the gentian grazed the barrel of the opponent's gun, and then smashed into the iron helmet, and the general's facial features directly squeezed the blood slurry and fell off the horse's back.
There are more and more soldiers and horses around, and the several battalions of soldiers and horses who reacted did not dare to touch the iron cavalry, but they could still do it by besieging and killing the silver-armored and white-robed veterans here.
The sword light and the sea of guns came over like a tide, Zhao Yun wiped the blood splashed in the corner of his eyes, and then, the horse sprinted again, echoing the parallel heavy cavalry on the left, and where he passed, blood was splashed, and the white robe was spotless.
……
"What's going on in the back?"
When the noisy and chaotic sound came, the seventy-year-old veteran turned around and looked to the rear, and the scout who delivered the news was galloping over to inform him that a heavy cavalry had broken through the defense line of the two battalions of soldiers and horses and was coming towards him.
From a distance, Guo Xin vaguely saw that touch of white, rushing to kill in the crowd, and seemed to be coming this way, and his face suddenly became ugly.
At this time, scouts arrived from the south.
"On the south side of the Longxiang army, an enemy cavalry of 1,000 people is rushing over, and it is fighting with the Yanshan cavalry over there at the moment."
Hearing this, Guo Xin's figure shook, he covered his forehead, grabbed the fence, and before he could speak, the rear army array in his field of vision, the sound of fighting continued.
The heavy cavalry, which was gradually losing his physical strength, was slowing down, while Zhao Yun on the other side was still charging on horseback, dragging the surrounding figures to run, and the entire array was disrupted by a rampaging horse.
Fierceness and speed reached the extreme, knocking people away and tearing them apart from time to time, like dispersing a group of wild dogs, and the soldiers who came over had not caught up, Zhao Yun turned around and rushed towards the edge of the corner of the formation.
"Go kill him! Stop this! ”
At this time, Guo Xinchao on the side of the central array issued orders to several generals who were the reserve of the army, and the generals immediately received the order, and each led his own soldiers to kill the army formation five miles away from the rear.
The horse's hooves stepped on the viscous plasma, and the mottled white horse smashed through several shields in front of him, Zhao Yun jumped on his horse, rushed out of the array, and galloped more than ten zhang, and he turned his head back from the armistice horse.
The cloak was stained with blood in the wind, and the blood on the silver-scaled armor was slowly rolling off, mottled with knife marks and gun marks, and half-broken arrows stuck in the shoulder armor.
Zhao Yun hung down the gentian gun and looked at the staggered array, as well as the countless frightened eyes coming and going, and the timid faces.
He suddenly felt a burst of excitement, his eyes were slightly wet, his gray beard trembled slightly in the wind, and he suddenly laughed: "Hahaha......"
The wind swept across the fields.
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Yun held the gun and laughed loudly, and a heroic voice resounded: "Zhao Yun has never been old!" ”。
In the rear, the smoke and dust were startled, and several generals and soldiers rushed to the front, and some of them shouted: "At such an age, he is still a thief!" A personal soldier beside him rode up first, and the moment he stabbed out the spear, it was Zhao Yun who turned his face in response, grabbed the body of the gun and dragged the person off the horse directly, and the spear in his hand was thrown out.
The general split the flying spear, and at this moment the figure of a lone horse galloped forward, and his voice shouted: "I am—"
Killed into the middle of a group of pro-soldiers, rushed to the opposite two enemy generals, the shadow of the gun overlapped, one by one the soldiers fell off the horse, and then fought with the general's tie knot, and the handle tail held another rushing general, the long knife that chopped.
"-Tsuneyama-"
The sound is not extinguished.
At the moment when the three horses were wrong, Zhao Yun's whole body leaned forward, the tail of the gun would make the general of the knife sweep off the horse, the head of the gun would penetrate the first general, and the third general rushed at the same time, the three horses staggered, Zhao Yun held the hilt of the sword at his waist with his left hand, and pulled it out with a bang.
With a wave of his arm, the cloak was raised, and the green slash slashed down with a whistling.
"-Zhao Zilong!"
The sound roared in the wind, resounding through the field.
In just three breaths, he killed several personal guards, and beheaded three generals in a row, and the remaining two generals looked at the enemy general opposite who had a gentian gun in one hand, a green sword in the other, and a white helmet swaying, swallowed his saliva, and did not dare to move over.
The general who was slashed by the sword was still sitting on the back of the horse, and then staggered a few times, even his head and shoulders, turned into two pieces, and dragged the bloody light to fall from the horse.
The two generals who were unable to move forward were so frightened that they fled the battlefield directly with their personal guards.
