Chapter 021: Collision
Ding Yi watched the battle with a cold eye, and ordered his personal guards: "Blow the trumpet, gather the whole army, and let the defeated soldiers leave!" Order Captain Cen to assign three or five hundred foot soldiers on both sides of the battlefield, collect the defeated soldiers, and form a formation on the spot!" The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the guards hurriedly rode their horses to the back of the battle to find Captain Cen.
The horn whined, the generals of the other troops heard the horn, and while approaching Ding Yi's team, he ordered his subordinates to blow the horn, and the noise on the battlefield was replaced by the whining horn, and the cavalry chasing and killing the rout disengaged one after another, and the rout soldiers looked around in a daze, woke up, and began to move out from the middle of the opposing sides after judging clearly.
Wei Xu jumped his horse and ran to Ding Yi: "Lang Zhong Ling, why don't you let the rout continue to attack the enemy formation, the enemy is in a hurry to prepare at night, and the arrows are limited!" Wei Xu means to use the rout to consume the opponent's physical strength and arrows, he is right, the enemy is in a hurry at night, it is impossible to have enough supplies, and the physical strength is not unlimited, and you should be tired after shooting for a while.
Ding Yi said lightly: "It's all my Han soldiers, wouldn't it be better for you to lead a battalion alone after collecting it, it's better than needless casualties." "The number of five battalions and fifteen thousand enemy soldiers was scattered and rushed, Xia Houyuan's front of the battle looked at many people who fell, in fact, there were about a thousand people, the defeat of the camp just now looked terrifying, and the number of people who fell to the ground should not exceed two thousand, and the rout was enough to divide the battalion head for everyone, for Wei Xu and other Lu Bu generals, to be able to take charge of each other, and expanding the strength of the army is the greatest affirmation and reward. And for Ding Yi, in the future, he will go north to hate Cao Ren and Yuan Shao, these Bingzhou elite cavalry are all veterans, and if they can be bought, they must try their best to buy them!
Wei Xu was overjoyed and said happily: "Thank you Lang Zhongling for your love, one and two pairs, I am willing to be a pioneer and take Xia Houyuan's head for Lang Zhongling!"
Hou Cheng and Song Xian each led the headquarters of the elite cavalry to stand around Ding Yi, Zhang Liao had few soldiers, came to Ding Yi to watch the battle with him, Xia Houyuan's archers took advantage of the time when the rout soldiers left the field, and they had slowly retreated, sitting on the ground to rest according to the wall, Xia Houyuan's cavalry began to rush out from the gate of the village, and formed in front of the archers.
Separated by more than 2,000 meters, the two armies looked at each other, Ding Yi's side was a thick in the middle and a slightly thin cavalry formation on both sides, about 5,000 people, and there were many foot soldiers with their bare right arms in the distance of the two wings, and Xia Houyuan was a light soldier with 3,000 light cavalry in front and 2,000 light soldiers with long bows or spears or knives in the back.
Zhang Liao said: "Lang Zhongling, Liao is willing to charge for the vanguard! Xia Houyuan's cavalry is not the opponent of our Jingcai cavalry, and the night battle is suspicious, but it can be decided in a battle!"
Wei continued: "Wen Yuan, don't fight, I told Lang Zhongling, I'll go first!"
Ding Yiyi: "Don't worry, we can afford to wait! We set off for dinner in the evening, and we have the blood edict of the Son of Heaven and the head of Cao Cao, and the enemy army can collapse without a fight after dawn!"
Wei continued: "Xia Houyuan has marched, let's attack, Lang Zhongling!" Xia Houyuan's cavalry lined up in a horizontal formation, forming several straight lines, and slowly moved forward.
Ding Yiyi: "Which one shouts for me in front of the battle and disintegrates the enemy army?!"
Zhang Liao's voice was resolute, and he suddenly said: "Lang Zhongling, don't shout, march quickly, it's not good to let the other party run against the cavalry!"
Ding Yi suddenly realized that he had not commanded the cavalry battle, if you want people to shout in the formation, it is impossible to deal with it step by step, the enemy will not wait for you to start running, speaking of which in the northwest of Daming he has seen Daniel Zhang use troops, but unfortunately at that time it was more to deal with Wubao and other strong people, the cavalry duel is still the first time, and it is still night at this time, if you are not careful, you may lose all the plates, he can't afford to lose!
Ding Yi immediately said to Zhang Liao: "You have experience in cavalry warfare, you are responsible for commanding, and I am the vanguard!" In history, Zhang Liao has a great reputation, not false, he once attacked 100,000 horses in Dongwu with fewer enemies and more, 800 foot soldiers, and killed the Dongwu people on their backs, and had the strength to stop the children of Dongwu crying at night. Ding Yi believed him.
Zhang Liao said: "Okay, thank you for your trust!"
Then he ordered loudly: "Forward!" The horn sounded, the whole army slowly moved forward, Zhang Liao said to Wei Xu: "You lead the headquarters to rush forward and tear the enemy formation!" Wei Xu nodded, while shouting loudly to advance, while slowly speeding up, highlighting the formation, his direct subordinates followed closely, and after a while, a sharp arrow formation with Wei Xu as the arrow was formed, Ding Yi waved the iron spear of Xia Houdun in his hand, urged the war horse, and followed behind Wei Xu's horse.
In the slow acceleration, Wei Xu's personal guards moved closer to the middle from the two wings, protecting his flanks, and the sharp arrow formation became sharper and sharper.
Zhang Liao continued to order: "Accelerate, accelerate!" The horn changed the length of the sound, three long and three short, and continued to sound, the horses began to accelerate in small steps, and the cavalry shouted loudly: "Roar!" "The Han army is mighty!" The cavalry at the front are all holding two long halberds, diagonally under the ribs. In the slow acceleration, the halberd was slowly flattened, and the rear row of riders had swords, guns, swords, and halberds, shouting forward.
Approaching about 500 paces, the sound of the horn came, and the cheers of "Ride, drive!" were constantly heard in the queue, and the entire arrow was at full speed, rushing towards the opposite side like a lightning speed, and the enemy on the opposite side also increased to full speed, rapidly approaching.
Boom, the thunderous hoofs couldn't stop ringing, the ground was shaken by the neat charge, countless people just touched, like an angry tide on the embankment, were knocked off the horse, some flew up, some rolled down, and some bravely rushed directly on the horseback to the opponent's generals, fell to the ground together, and some horses were also knocked over, and kept kicking and kicking their hooves to get up again.
Some people were trampled into meat as soon as they rolled down, and some people who were lucky enough rushed forward two steps forward to grab the empty horse and jumped over, and continued to impact, not daring to stop for a while.
The figure kept rushing in front of him, the moonlight was not very bright, and he couldn't see his face clearly, Ding Yi's iron spear kept swinging in front of him, and all the people who kept hedging over were photographed by him. Ding Yi felt that he was a small fish going up against the waterfall, the enemies in front of him were endless, and he had to adjust his methods to deal with them at any time. At this time, he realized that it was no wonder that the role of martial arts masters in the battle formation was small, this thing just relied on instant reaction, no matter how high the kung fu was, the slightly slower reaction would also be the end of the chaotic knife splitting the corpse. Fortunately, the internal force is successful, a thin wall of air on the surface of the body, a little induction to respond, the enemy's blade slid away, if there is no internal force to protect the body, all rely on the on-the-spot reaction, the first cavalry hedge, the horsemanship is not good Ding Yi will inevitably be cut off the horse by the knife.
In front of Ding Yi's oblique is Wei Xu, this person has rich experience in riding and fighting, lying on the saddle, his head is slightly raised, his eyes are half-squinted, his eyes are looking ahead, his body is slightly swaying left and right to dodge the attack at the same time, the long halberd is obliquely held, on the back, only half of the long blade is exposed, using the momentum of the horse, the hook wound cuts through many enemy pawns, a horse takes the lead, charging silently, the guards around him continue to fall off the horse, and someone rushes up to protect the horse, from time to time there are individual guards rushing to the front to open the way for Wei Xu, and they keep being put on the ground, and later, it becomes Wei Xu in front, the left side is Ding Yi protection, and the two are advancing side by side。
Suddenly, the eyes were empty, penetrated, and the two of them were stained red with blood, as if they had been soaked in blood water, Ding Yi was not only bloody, but also sweaty, although the internal force was profound, it was really tense and exciting, and it was very different from the water battle on the sea at the beginning!
Hundreds of meters away, enemy foot soldiers were close together, slowly moving forward.
Behind Ding Yi and Wei Xu, dozens of horsemen penetrated one after another, "Hurry up! Keep rushing!" Wei Xu bowed his head sideways and beckoned, rode his horse in an arc, and circled around the back of the enemy horseman. (To be continued.) )
