Volume 1 Rain Hates Clouds Chapter 73 Sunset Afterglow (1)
Tang Zicheng was full of confidence in coming this time. Tang Zicheng was a famous general of the former Southern Tang Dynasty, and he always had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses standing on hand under his command. But with the rise of Li Zhu, Tang Zicheng's reputation has long disappeared with the defeat of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Li Zhu is like a killing god, turning Tang Zicheng's troops and the entire Southern Tang Dynasty into ashes under his iron horse. Tang Zicheng, who retreated from South Vietnam, was not reconciled, he hated Li Zhu, and he trained soldiers and horses day and night in South Vietnam, and now he brought 400,000 soldiers, each of whom is one in a hundred, every soldier is the elite of the elite, and even the men in it are all veterans of the rest of the battle. In his heart, Li Zhunai was certain to die.
Tang Zicheng looked at the black-pressed army behind him, and shouted: "Kill Li Zhu, strengthen my rivers and mountains!"
"Kill Li Zhu!
"Kill!" At this moment, the Jin army also began to charge and encircle.
Finally, something happened that surprised Tang Zicheng! He was shocked to find that the Xiang army, which had been fighting many times before, had only been burned with a fierce fighting spirit just because of an order from Li Zhu, like dry wood encountering a raging fire! Without any military order, they were neatly divided into two major battle formations, rushed towards the Jin army and South Vietnam, and began a fierce counterattack. There was no fear on the face of every big elephant iron horseman, but he just turned into a long dragon with a spear and rushed to attack.
With the handover of the two armies, one by one the broken bodies were constantly picked apart. Their movements were almost identical, and all their marksmanship did not have the slightest drag and flow, and they were extremely coherent! Tang Zicheng was terrified in his heart when he saw this scene: What kind of cruel polishing did an army with such a quality go through! When every Xiangjun on the horse made a move, there was no sound, but the accuracy and control of this kind of strength could not be practiced without five years of hard training. But as far as Tang Zicheng knew, what was in front of him was just an extremely ordinary unit in the Xiang army. The two armies are fighting, and the judgment is decided!
The blood all over the ground stained the whole land red, and as soon as the battle began, it entered a white-hot stage. Hundreds of thousands of troops rushed together like a tsunami.
I saw a general of the Xiangjun army in the field, who had been hit by an arrow in his right arm, jumped down from the horse, but his footwork did not stop, and he picked up the long knife on the ground with his unskilled left hand.
Then he opened his mouth and shouted: "Kill! Xiang army belongs, charge with me!" With 50,000 Xiang army iron cavalry, like a sharp iron cone, he cut through the defense line of the South Vietnamese sergeant and rushed in along the gap. Screaming and screaming, the sound resounded. Blood splattered, thousands of miles away. Among the crowded South Vietnamese troops, with the gap in the battle formation ahead, it became even more dense, and there was almost no place to swing the long knife.
The thunderous sound of horses' hooves shook the earth with a bang, looking at the gap that was rushed out of the South Vietnamese front, Tang Zicheng took a deep breath: "Pass the order, don't retreat! When the strength of the people is exhausted, the number of the current Xiang army is still too small, and after a while they will definitely show a decline. ”
Tang Zicheng's words temporarily calmed the anxious military heart, and the generals listened to the order of the South Vietnamese army not to advance but to retreat, and the contraction was even tighter, almost shoulder to shoulder. Although they didn't understand why General Tang Zicheng was like this, they immediately obeyed the military order to reorganize the ranks. In this regard, the South Vietnamese army is more than a step more powerful than the elite soldiers under Nian Ruoyun.
The development of the matter, just as Tang Zicheng said: Although the 50,000 Xiang army's iron cavalry swore to the death, although it broke through several defense lines of South Vietnam in succession, and cracked a huge gap in the battle array in front, and the ferocious offensive almost crushed the entire South Vietnamese array, but finally fell into decline at this moment.
As the battle formation of South Vietnam became more and more compressed, the iron cavalry of the Xiang army stopped the momentum, and some of the rear strength was not supported, and it seemed that there was no way to move forward at this moment!
However, at this moment, under the command of Tang Zicheng, the South Vietnamese sergeants formed a dense encirclement and blocked the gap in the battle formation that had been broken before! The iron cavalry of the Xiang army in the field seemed to have fallen into a deep quagmire, and the momentum of the charge had been exhausted. Although their fierce offensive broke the battle formation in front of the South Vietnamese army, after all, the South Vietnamese army was extremely terrifying in number and did not collapse! On the contrary, it surrounded it with almost eight times the number of troops.
The current situation is extremely bad for this army. The cavalry, the most important thing is the momentum of the charge, if it stagnates, in the face of countless swords and bows, it will no longer be able to give full play to the natural advantages of the iron cavalry. Once you can't charge, fighting the sergeant in the same place, you will immediately fall into passivity, since the moment of being surrounded, almost the whole clearing is sprinkled with a rain of arrows, one by one horses are madly neighing and falling with arrows, although the trapped Xiang army is still fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and the spears are shaking. But the number of casualties is also climbing at a terrifying speed. Looking at the Xiangjun in front of him like a turtle in an urn, Tang Zicheng sneered, and raised his voice to Li Zhu in the center: "Xiangwang Li Zhu, today, I, Tang Zicheng, will let you pay for your blood debt!"
