Chapter Seventy-Three, the Wheel Formation New Law Defeats the Enemy
Sigh:
used to be thousands of miles away, and it was too hurried to go. Therefore, the fine willows are still there, and in the wind and rain, the soft intestines are damaged.
The matter in his heart is not famous, and he has been sad. Plain clothes often hate, down-and-out rivers and lakes, white-haired sunset!
The song "Appealing to Heartfelt Love", admiring the hero's deeds and righteousness, gave birth to a little sentimentality, and omitted to mention it.
It is said that on November 19, the fourth winter of the Taiping Khan Emperor Kaiping, under the city of Xiaoguan, the marshal of the right army, Lin Heng, sacrificed his life for the country, at that time, the Taiping army, just piled up the soil mountain, the marshal died, fortunately there was the vanguard general Song Yi, and organized an attack in time.
In grief, Song Yi led his troops to attack the city despite his shoulder injury. When the army saw the vanguard general holding a gun in one hand and a flag in the other, he shouted to the top of the city, and behind him, first of all, the vanguard guards, shouted to follow.
The commander of the defending army, Mo Lige, saw it, danced his sword on his horse, and came to fight Song Yi again.
Song Yi's martial arts cultivation is far superior to Lin Xiaolong, although he is fighting on foot, he is not afraid of him Mo Ligeqi. And because of Mo Ligeqi's sneak attack, he shot and killed Lin Hui, the marshal of the right army of the Taiping Army, which caused Song Yi to be full of hatred at this time!
At that time, when Song Yi saw Mo Ligqi, his eyes were red!
What is a real comrade-in-arms? Those who have killed the enemy side by side on the battlefield and are the ones who treat each other with all sincerity are the real comrades-in-arms. Such comrades-in-arms understand each other, can tolerate each other's shortcomings, and appreciate each other's strengths; they are by no means comparable to the friends who usually eat, drink, hook shoulders, and wander freely.
At that time, Song Yi's eyes were red, although his left shoulder was injured first, but he stood firmly, and when the opponent's horse arrived, he only shouted, the gun came out like a dragon, and a shot pierced between the chest and abdomen of Moligqi's war horse, and his body flashed at the same time, and with a spear in his hand, Moligqi's war horse fell!
The big knife in Molige's hand was slashing at Song Yi's head, the horse fell, the knife was deviant, Song Yi flashed, and he raised his hand and stabbed again!
Molige's horse fell to the ground, and the people also fell, and they were about to get up, when they saw the opponent's spear coming, they were anxious and afraid!
I only heard Song Yi shouting: "Red-haired dog thief!
Song Yi's big gun was pierced, and Mo Lige was like a poisonous snake nailed to the ground, twisted a few times, and then died.
When the red-haired soldiers saw this, they all retreated in shock! Song Yi took advantage of the situation and shouted again: "Brothers, go up, avenge the marshal!"
The Taiping army shouted, and more and more soldiers rushed to the city walls.
Under the leadership of the vanguard general Song Yi, the right army fought bloodily and finally captured Xiaoguan City!
At this time, in Xiaoguan City, Song Yi said to the generals: "Everyone, the war is urgent, and the military division is not here, as the vanguard of this army, I should not lead the marshal of the right army——
However, I, Song Yi, and Zhang Meng and Xu Wenhu married Jinlan, and my lord Emperor Khan also called me a big brother in private, therefore, I temporarily take the post of marshal, I hope you understand that Song is not greedy for power, this is also a last resort! I hope you will fully support Song!"
All the generals said: "Song Xianfeng made a decision immediately, and we can finally take Xiao Guancheng! In this battle, the vanguard has made great contributions, and we are all respected!"
Song Yi said: "Since everyone has no opinion, I will continue to act as the marshal temporarily." I command—"
When the generals heard this, they all stood up with a "snap", waiting for General Song Yi's order.
I only listened to Song Yidao: "After the red-haired soldiers seized the Xiao Pass of my Datong clan, they have already made a transformation, and the city wall and horse road outside the Guancheng should be demolished immediately! Hou Deying listened to the order!"
"The last general!"
"You will lead a thousand diggers and soldiers and horses, and quickly dismantle them!"
"Yes!"
"Yu Wensheng listens to orders!"
"The last general!"
"You arranged for the scouts under your jurisdiction to visit the horse messengers, and reported the news to all parts of our right army, saying that the marshal had sacrificed his life for the country and that Xiao Guancheng had been captured.
I, Song Mou, acting on behalf of the marshal temporarily, have a special sentence for you: General Yuwen, you have to ask the messenger to tell our army everywhere that you must learn the spirit of the marshal's sacrifice for the country, have the determination to avenge the marshal, and fight bravely to kill the enemy.
Another point is that it is especially necessary to send a messenger to report to our lord Khan! The marshal has died, and our right army urgently needs someone to take command, so please send someone to our lord Khan as soon as possible!"
Then, Song Yi arranged two more generals, leading 10,000 troops, to support the 20,000 people of Fu Liming's army to ambush the red-haired soldiers in Liangzi County to rescue Xiaoguan!
As soon as the various tasks were assigned, a signal corpsman came to report: "Song Xianxian! A big thing is not good! 50,000 red-haired soldiers and horses have come to Xiaoguancheng and are attacking Guancheng, and General Hou Deying and 1,000 troops are fighting to the death with the enemy soldiers on the slopes of the horse road!"
At this time, the Taiping army in Xiao Guan, when they captured the city, 30,000 casualties of more than 10,000, and the rest of the men and horses, and sent 10,000 soldiers to meet Fu Liming's 20,000 horses, at this time, the soldiers who could fight in the pass were only more than 5,000 people, and the enemy army was ten times that of the Taiping army!
When Song Yi heard the news, he was in a hurry, and said, "Everyone, go to the battle with Song!"
The generals said: "The pioneer has not healed from his wounds, so he should recuperate, and I will go to meet the enemy!"
Song Yi said: "The battle situation is critical, I will go from now!"
When Song Yi led the generals to arrive, he saw that more than half of the slope of the horse road had been dug up, and the red-haired soldiers rushed to the city wall along the other half that had not been dug up!
When Song Yi saw this, he shouted to his five hundred guards: "All the guards, people are inherently dead, either heavier than a mountain or lighter than a feather!
So, the five hundred guards shouted in unison and rushed forward with Song Yi!
When Liu Xingdao, the general of the Taiping Army, saw this, he was secretly shocked in his heart: this time, when the digger army completely dug up the ramp, the vanguard and its guards would be lost in the enemy's army, how could Song Xianfeng be so dangerous?
Liu Xingdao shouted at that time: "Wait a moment for the vanguard! Our right army has already lost its marshal, how can it lose its vanguard again? The last general is willing to go forward to block the enemy!"
Liu Xingdao led the troops of the headquarters to go forward and competed with Song Yi to fight the red-haired soldiers first.
In less than half an hour, when the slope of the horse road was about to be completely dug up, Hou Deying hurriedly shouted: "Song Xianxian! General Liu! The horse road is about to be disconnected, you should quickly retreat!"
However, how were Song Yi and Liu Xingdao willing to retreat? Song Yi said: "General Liu! Retreat quickly!"
Liu Xingdao shouted: "Pioneer, the red-haired soldiers bite tightly, as soon as our army retreats, the red-haired devils will rush up! Today's Xiaoguan City, there can be no Liu Xingdao, but it can't be without Song Xianxian!"
Liu Xingdao did not retreat but advanced, leading the guards of the headquarters to rush forward and kill!
Song Yi saw this, with tears in his eyes, and led the army to retreat.
Song Yi retreated to the city wall and ordered: "Mobilize archers for me, shoot a fierce volley of red-haired soldiers, and try to save General Liu!"
——At this time, these 50,000 red-haired soldiers are exactly what was explained earlier, and the red-haired country's master transferred them to Moligqi's men.
These 50,000 red-haired soldiers didn't know that the pass Xiaoguancheng had been recaptured by the Datong people, and they didn't know that their marshal Moligqi had been killed by Song Yi, the vanguard of the Taiping Army.
However, under the leadership of Song Yi, the Taiping army finally dug up the horse road, and the 50,000 red-haired soldiers had no choice but to look at Xiongguan Gaocheng and be helpless!
At this time, under the closed city, Liu Xingdao and all the guards could only climb the city wall with the help of ropes, and they could be regarded as out of danger!
How could the red-haired soldiers be willing to let these Taiping soldiers climb the city wall? They were originally good at riding and shooting, and they all fired arrows one after another!
Song Yi also shouted fiercely: "Archer, give me a salvo of ten arrows to suppress the enemy archers!"
However, in the rain of arrows, Liu Xingdao and his troops who wanted to climb the rope back to the city were martyred after all, among them, Liu Xingdao!
The red-haired soldiers saw that the soldiers who climbed the city were shot to death, so the main general gave an order, and the red-haired cavalry retreated, reported the situation of Xiaoguan to the lord of the red-haired country, and stood by on the spot - the red-haired cavalry really came and went like the wind.
When Song Yi saw it, he gritted his teeth word by word and said: "One day, I, Song Yi, will lead 100,000 horses and horses out of Xiaoguan, run rampant in your red-haired country, and kill all directions!"
However, it was said that Liu Wuming and Yang Jin, Ruan Ting, Lu Rover, Lu Ba and others led a large army to besiege the county seat of Xiangxian County, and seeing that it was about to be captured, there was an urgent report from Tanma: "The marshal is under Xiaoguan City, and he ordered the soldiers of Xiangxian County to dispatch 20,000 horses and horses to help quickly!"
Liu Wuming asked a little question, knowing that the battle situation at Xiao Pass was urgent, so he ordered Yang Jin and Ruan Ting to lead 20,000 troops to assist the marshal in attacking Xiao Pass.
When Yang Jin and Ruan Ting led the troops through Liangzi County, 30,000 red-haired soldiers and horses from Liangzi County went with the main general to help Xiaoguan's red-haired soldiers Moligqi, and there were only a few red-haired soldiers in the county, so Yang Jin and Ruan Ting's 20,000 horses and horses rushed to the city, took advantage of the situation to seize Liangzi County, and rushed to Xiaoguan.
Halfway through, I saw that the 30,000 red-haired soldiers dispatched from Naliangzi County were attacking the first line of defense of Fu Liming's 20,000 horses, so Yang Jin Ruan Ting and the two leading soldiers shouted from behind the red-haired soldiers!
Fu Liming was overjoyed, and the red-haired soldier was surprised.
Not long after, the red-haired soldiers were defeated on all fronts, and the second general Yang Jin Ruan Ting saw the military division Fu Liming, joined forces in one place, chased and killed the red-haired deserters, and after half an hour, they were killed cleanly.
Fu Liming said to Yang Jin and the second general of Ruan Ting: "The two generals came just in time, help me kill the red-haired soldiers, the credit is not small, when we see the marshal, please ask the marshal to remember your great merits!"
The second general was about to be modest, and a report from the Malay Expedition came: "Good news! Liu Junshi, Land Rover, Lu Ba, and others have defeated Xiangxian County! The army is now marching to the front line of Xiaoguan!"
Fu Liming and the others were all overjoyed, collected their troops and went back, to fight Xiao Pass. Just as he was walking a short distance, another horse came in a hurry, and reported with tears in his eyes:
"Senator Fu! It's not good! Marshal, Marshal, he-"
This tanma cried before he finished speaking!
Fu Liming and all the generals hurriedly said: "Don't cry! Marshal, what's wrong with him!?"
Tanma cried: "Marshal, he sacrificed his life for the country!"
For a moment, everyone was shocked, and the three armies wept bitterly, and the sound of wailing was everywhere. Fu Liming held back his tears and asked, "Tell me, how is the battle under Xiao Guan?"
Tanma said: "Our army has won a crushing victory! ”
While he was talking, the first army in front came, but it was Song Yi who sent the general Xiang Ming and led 10,000 troops to aid Fu Liming.
Fu Liming asked with tears in his eyes: "General Xiang Ming, is the marshal really falling?"
Xiang Ming said solemnly: "Senator Fu, the marshal has indeed been martyred, and at present, in Xiaoguan City, Song Xianfeng is temporarily acting as the marshal, and the last general will be ordered to come to meet your department!"
Fu Liming said: "That is the case, I am afraid that in Xiaoguan City, our army has too few troops, let's hurry forward, beware of the red-haired soldiers coming to seize the pass!"
So Fu Liming and others led the troops to Xiaoguan City, and Yu Lu was sad.
After the army arrived, in the city of Xiaoguan, the Taiping soldiers and horses reached nearly 60,000.
At this time, Song Yi was relieved, and told Fu Liming about the martyrdom of General Liu Xingdao, and everyone hated: "One day, we will fight to the Hongmao Country and let them taste the taste of being invaded!"
So, in Xiaoguan City, Song Yi and Fu Liming reorganized the army, selected elite soldiers, and went to Longjiao Peak to help the left army.
Before dawn the next day, Liu Wuming and the victorious troops of Xiangxian County arrived. It turned out that Liu Wuming and others were saddened when they heard that Marshal Lin Heng was martyred. Liu Wuming was worried about Xiao Guan's side, so he led the generals and the three soldiers and horses, and rushed to the army overnight.
At this time, the whole army of the right army joined forces under the city of Xiaoguan, and the total strength reached 100,000 people; this time, the right army went all out to seize Xiaoguan, five counties and one pass, and six places fought at the same time, although they were all victorious, but suffered nearly 50,000 casualties! and also damaged the pillar of the Taiping Khanate, the marshal of the right army, Lin Heng! Other martyred generals and colonels and soldiers, forgive the village man who could not be described one by one.
On November 21, the fourth year of the Taiping Khan's Kaiping, on the morning, after Liu Wuming and others also arrived at Xiaoguan, they divided 100,000 horses into two parts, leaving 40,000 horses to guard the pass, Liu Wuming and Song Yi Ruan Ting also stayed, and Song Yi recuperated on the spot.
The remaining 60,000 horses, led by generals such as Fu Liming, Yang Jin, Lu Hu, and Lu Ba, went to attack Lengquan County, and sent troops to Lengquan County to support the Taiping Army of Longjiaofeng.
When Fu Liming's army arrived in Lengquan County, there were less than 10,000 red-haired soldiers defending the city, Fu Liming commanded the army, rushed up, captured the city, and interrogated the prisoners to know:
On the side of Longjiao Peak, the battle was very tense, and the red-haired defenders of this county were also transferred by Hulagus to attack the Taiping army.
Fu Liming listened, and said to the generals: "Ago, the enemy commander of Xiaoguan City, Mo Ligeqi, sent 30,000 people to assist in attacking our army's Longjiao Peak, Hulagus had tens of thousands of troops, plus 20,000 red-haired soldiers in Lengquan County, and the red-haired soldiers under the command of Hulags should have at least 100,000 people!"
100,000 red-haired cavalry, the offensive must be very fierce. Besides, the total number of enemy troops should be more than these 100,000?
Our lord Khan and the left army, together, should be as many as 250,000, I hurry to hurry, the total strength of our army should be at least twice as large as the enemy's army, and we will be able to annihilate the enemy under the Longjiao Peak in one battle!"
Everyone said, "Just ask the Senate to give an order!"
Fu Liming was about to give the order to go on the expedition, and a messenger came:
"My lord Emperor Khan knew about the martyrdom of Marshal Lin Heng of the Right Army, and he had ordered the whole country to mourn Marshal Lin, so he ordered General Song Yi to be the acting Marshal of the Right Army, guarding Xiao Pass, and ordered the Right Army to send men and horses to Longjiao Peak to encircle and annihilate Hulagus. ”
Fu Liming asked the envoy: "How is the situation of my lord Khan Emperor on the side of Longjiao Peak?"
The envoy said: "Our army is twice as large as the enemy, and it should have easily defeated the red-haired soldiers, but the bronze demon mirror of Hulagus is very powerful, and many generals of our army have been defeated under the bronze demon mirror."
Our lord Emperor Khan also ordered his ministers to go to Xiao Pass quickly, and told Marshal Song and the two military advisors that the red-haired soldiers would not be willing to lose Xiao Pass, and they would have to accept Hulagus to return to the Hongmao country, so that the red-haired soldiers would inevitably attack Xiao Pass in a big way, so our lord Khan Emperor asked the Xiao Pass defenders to be fully prepared and not slack off against the enemy!"
Fu Liming said: "That being the case, please send the envoy to Xiaoguan quickly and inform our army of Xiaoguan of the order of our lord Khan." ”
So the envoy went by himself, and Fu Liming left Yang Jin to lead 10,000 troops to defend this Lengquan County, and he and Hu Luba and other generals led 50,000 horses and horses to Longjiao Peak.
However, it was said that under Longjiao Peak, the enemy general Hulagus was really a good cavalry general, and the cavalry of his headquarters was in the style of large-scale battle formations, and clashed with the Taiping army.
Although the Taiping army has a large number of troops, it is always infantry, although there is a wheel array, but the wheel array is running, the number of troops is too small, and it is too much to work hard, and the number of troops is always about 10,000 people.
However, the wheel formation of 10,000 people could not stop the impact of Hulagus's large-scale cavalry formation of tens of thousands of people!
Fortunately, the cavalry had the upper hand against the infantry in the field, but they were at a disadvantage when attacking the fortifications, so the Taiping army held the barrier and did not come out, and Hulagus also felt helpless.
Hulagos couldn't break through Longjiao Peak for a while, and heard that the Xiaoguan Pass had been lost, and his retreat had been cut off, so he couldn't help but attack Longjiao Peak frantically, and under Longjiao Peak, it became a murderous slaughterhouse!
When Fu Liming led the troops to arrive, he had already reported to Li Shijian with people and horses, and Li Shijian told Fu Liming that he should try to avoid field battles with Hulags's army, and the wheel array, limited by the total force capacity, could not resist the large-scale impact of the cavalry of the red-haired soldiers!
When Fu Liming heard this, he was also quite impressed by Hulagus's ability to organize cavalry to attack in a large-scale formation, but Fu Liming said to the messenger and the generals:
"Please send a messenger back to my lord Khan, the wheel array was originally obtained by my painstaking research, and my wheel array has its own method of resisting the large-scale impact of the enemy's cavalry!"
