Chapter 207: Hurricane on all fronts
The sunset hung in the west of the imperial city, the soft glow shone in the Gufeng Tower, the banquet to receive the emperor's uncle Zhao Guangshi had not yet begun, and several generals of Sui and Qing Erzhou, as well as the generals of Wu and Yue also entered the palace at this time to meet.
Zhao Chuanting looked at them and felt a sense of comfort that other countries were coming to the court.
Inside the building, the lights are extended, as a place to entertain the generals of other countries and the generals of the two states, the luxurious eaves columns, the carved window lattices, and the lattice fence of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing are not cold.
There are a large number of palace guards outside the building, inside the building is a palace guard in brocade clothes, the banquet has not yet begun, this Wei Emperor stands on the third floor of the sun platform (pavilion, similar to the name of the balcony)
Behind him, the generals of Yue and Wu, as well as the generals of Suiqing Erzhou, chatted in the hall for a while, and also followed, standing behind the emperor and looking at the magnificent Wei Palace immersed in the red glow.
In the same way, they were a little cautious and worried in their hearts, although there were 400,000 soldiers and horses on this side, there were more than 100,000 soldiers on the other side, and it was not so easy to fight.
“.…… Your Majesty, on the way to come, the foreign minister has been repeatedly pondering the Xia King of Yan State, and his generals have all been killed on the battlefield, at the moment, we only have the advantage of troops, and if we don't close the siege as soon as possible, we will all fall into a bitter battle. ”
Cui Zhan, the general of Wu who spoke, had told his own emperor before leaving to try his best to ensure that his sons and daughters could come back alive, and the land battles of Wu were not satisfactory compared with the troops in the north, the Central Plains, the northwest, and the southwest. is also the reason why he urged Zhao Chuanting.
The generals from the South Yue Kingdom also nodded in agreement, after all, they were not fighting for their own country, so they naturally didn't want to stay in the territory of Wei all the time.
"I understand the mood of the two, but the army has just arrived and needs to be dispatched to rest, and the soldiers and horses of Liang and Qi will not be able to arrive at the scheduled place until the day after tomorrow. Completing the whole battle is the right way! ”
In the red glow, Zhao Chuanting, whose physical strength was no longer when he was young, held a jade light wine glass, "That Xia King has been standing still in Guangfu, constantly sending scouts and secret agents to spy on us, at this time, we can't be impatient." ”
"But they may be divided and annihilated, and open up their grain route to the north!"
In the deep words of the generals of Wu, Emperor Zhao Chuanting of Wei was silent for a moment, "There are 90,000 people over there, and to the west, the 90,000 troops of Qi and Liang are also on the way, even if you want to open up the grain route from Gwangjeju to the Hunhe River, you must eat 90,000 people in two days, is this possible?!" ”
The gray-haired emperor drank the wine from the cup, handed it to his attendants, pressed his hands on the guardrail, and looked at the majestic palaces from afar.
"I don't believe he can eat 400,000 soldiers and horses!"
……
The glow of the sun swept along the Yangzhou Plain through the charming red, and the goshawk flew across the sky.
In this red color, there is an ominous atmosphere.
Detouring from the rear of the Yan army, the three armies of Gan, Feng and Guangjizhou are stationed in a place called Linqiu on the border between Yangzhou and Guangji.
News from the imperial court came several times, and they asked them to wait for the arrival of 50,000 soldiers and horses from Liang and Qi, and then encircle Guangfu.
Wang Longen, as the governor of the Guangji battlefield, was defeated for the first time, and had made preparations for martyrdom, but later received the holy decree, so he led the troops to retreat and gave way to the Yan army to go south, and the governor of the east and west roads, among which Lei Yunzhong was beheaded by the enemy general in the chaos, and Wang Luozhou, the governor of the west battlefield, was his brother, and both brothers were defeated on the battlefield, which was really embarrassing.
At present, there are 90,000 soldiers and horses in the three states, and it will be a shame.
In the red glow that afternoon, the two of them rode slowly on horseback and walked slowly on the field, saying some heart-wrenching words.
"Brother really thinks that in this battle, 400,000 soldiers and horses can win against 100,000 people in Yan Kingdom?" Wang Luozhou looked ahead, and the scouts who rushed back were a little worried in his heart.
Wang Longen pressed the head of the knife, and pointed his brother with his finger in laughter: "If you talk nonsense, if it is not conducive to combat, don't talk nonsense, it will affect the morale of the army." But an army of 400,000 people, even if the soldiers are not as good as them, they are tired to death. ”
"Hehe, Your Majesty and Yan Guo'er are really open-minded, they haven't fought for many years, and they can't imagine that a dozen will be so big."
"That's fine, my martial arts have the hope of making contributions."
Wang Longen raised his face, took a deep breath, and always felt a little ominous in the wind, and the scout who came back in front of him was lying on the back of his horse, and he had several arrows stuck in his back.
In the direction of Chaoyang Prefecture, the scout battle suddenly became fierce.
……
The red glow shone on the plain, and one by one the figures in iron armor changed horses and turned over, Li Wei also changed to a war horse covered with iron plates, he put the iron helmet on his head with both hands, and looked back at Dong Zhuo who came to see him off.
He picked up the big gun and grinned.
"Dong Gong, if you are unlucky and die in battle this time, let Guo Aduo replace me, and the Flying Bear Army will still be handed over to your own brothers!"
Horses covered with iron armor stepped forward, thick iron chains interlocked, and the two horses were arranged in a conical shape.
Half a mile behind them, one by one the horses slowed down, and then stopped, this is the middle of the two thousand tiger cavalry battalion, they are strong, only wearing leather armor, in their hands is a large long knife with a handle similar to the glaive knife, the blade is wide and sharp, as the middle formation, they are not responsible for charging, but follow the front, tearing the gap.
"Yide, what kind of system have you become like this?" Guan Yu was dressed in a beast's head and armor, half of his body was straight, his green robe was straight, the green dragon glaive was hanging obliquely, on horseback, his long hair was slightly stroking in the wind, his phoenix eyes were slowly half-opened, and he called to Zhang Fei behind him: "Don't worry, go back for your brother." ”
"Second brother!" Zhang Fei's rough voice trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice: "What I want to say is...... Swap with you. ”
The corners of Guan Yu's mouth twitched.
The second cavalry in the middle of the formation, Ma Chao and Ma Dai bumped their fists, and he turned over and got on his horse, his heart surging.
On the field, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled over, one red and one white, and the two generals led their respective horse teams to gallop, and then later, Xiahou Yuan patted Zhang He on the shoulder.
"I'll leave it to you, don't lose the prestige of the tiger and leopard rider!"
Twenty miles north of Guangfu City, the quiet field gradually became filled with murderous aura, and the cavalry kept the formation closer.
A large number of scouts sent were frantically driving away the Wei scouts on the territory dozens of miles away. Su Chen was dressed in armor, riding on horseback and looking at the assembled cavalry group, and slowly raised his hand.
In the red color, his hands were clenched into fists, and he whispered: "What does it feel like for 90,000 people to step under the hooves of horses?" The sons and daughters under the lonely command soon experienced it. ”
The generals of the army who had said goodbye to the cavalry group laughed cruelly.
Since the 400,000 troops of the Wei State began to form a posture of encirclement, Su Chen has always let all the soldiers and war horses recuperate, fighting all the way, always resting, and cultivating physical strength and energy is the best state of fighting.
The sky was starting to darken.
One by one, the horses moved slowly, trampling the ground with iron hooves, and more than 10,000 cavalry were divided into four formations, front and back, left and right, like undulating waves, rushing towards the north.
……
Linqiu, looking at Wang Longen and Wang Luozhou, who had several arrows stuck in the scout's back, their eyelids jumped.
Soon the fierce scout battle ahead was in front of them.
"The Yan army is so fierce, do you want to break through from us?"
Wang Longen's first reaction was that the Yan State army, which had been silent for several days, wanted to escape from the huge net of 400,000 troops, after all, whoever was surrounded in the middle would feel great pressure!
"We can't let them break through here and retreat to Gwangjeju!"
The quiet camp then became restless, and the soldiers and horses of Sanzhou poured out of the extended military camp and began to assemble, pulling the net as if in this evening, posing to block the Yan army.
Soon, however, in the darkness of the sky, more and more of your own scouts were rushing madly towards this direction.
There were scouts on horseback, waving at the army formation on this side, and shouting, "Coming...... Disperse...... Spread out......"
"What's coming?" In the array stationed at the front, a general looked at the lieutenant general next to him, "Did you hear that scout shouting just now?" ”
When the words fell, the war horse under him restlessly stepped on the spot, and the soldiers around him obviously felt the ground tremble slightly.
"General, the ground is shaking, could it be a large number of ......?"
The soldier who didn't feel right, before he could finish speaking, a long line of fire spread across the field of vision, at the end of the dark field.
Boom Boom –
Iron-clad war horses with the smell of rust rushed forward, countless churning hooves trampled heavily on the ground, and in the light of the torches held by the cavalry, Li Dao, who was in the forefront, opened his mouth under the iron helmet.
"Flying Bears! Hasten...... Kill them! ”
"Yes."
The surging heavy horses gradually accelerated, galloped wildly, and the sound of hooves trampled turned into thunder in the earth in an instant.
In front, there was an array of 10,000 people, swinging out in the shape of a 'weapon', about three miles away from them, and a second army of soldiers and horses was waiting for them.
At this time, seeing the surging cavalry group, thousands of infantry nervously crowded together in the screams of the general, the shield pressed the ground, the spear poked out of the shield, and stood up like a forest, and the archers walked through the ranks, or stood on both sides of the array and raised their longbows, and there was a commotion of the noise.
However, without much preparation for them, on both sides of the rushing cavalry were two other light cavalry that suddenly came, and a rain of arrows poured directly over, bringing up a splash of blood, and at the same time, they continued to run in an arc, widening the distance, and wandering on the flank of the battlefield.
At the moment, the attention of this 10,000-strong Ganzhou soldier and horse is all on the rushing heavy cavalry.
Everyone gritted their teeth, clenched their spears and shields, stared ahead with red eyes, and rushed straight at the iron horses with chains hanging from the dark night.
Iron Rider Sweep!
The high-speed ironclad cavalry crashed into the dense infantry array in a cone-shape, and one group after another of heavy cavalry bounced with iron spears and sparks, and there was a terrifying 'boom' crash.
The shields in the hands of the Ganzhou soldiers in the first row were directly twisted and shattered, and they were directly pressed against them, and then they were trampled under them by the rushing war horses.
A thousand people of flying bear heavy cavalry, two people in a team, across a hundred zhang rain like a hundred zhang rushed into the Ganzhou 10,000 people array, spears pierced people's heads, bodies, running horses, connected iron cables, people's bodies fell one by one, lucky to avoid the first round of charging soldiers, before they had time to form a formation, the second group of tiger cavalry battalion and Xiqiang cavalry holding big swords, ploughed into the crowd that was plowed, waved thousands of knife light, human heads, stumps, instantly sprinkled all over the front.
In front, the iron cavalry opened the way, the tiger cavalry and Xiqiang followed closely with the second charge, the archers on both sides attacked and disturbed, and the tiger and leopard cavalry combed the third time.
In this 10,000-strong army array, most of the soldiers were killed alive and killed on the front, only resisting half of the incense!
Collapse across the board.
The wave of cavalry did not stop at all, and rushed straight to the next array.
……
When the Wang Longen brothers received the news, their faces turned pale, and when they hurriedly asked the soldiers to adjust the direction of the formation, the terrifying cavalry wave had already killed this side.
Today is 12,000 words......
