Chapter 344: Unintentionally inserting willows, willows are shady
Dong Maniac is an old subordinate of Ankun, although this person's character is a little bad, but he is still very good at fighting, especially riding skills, he can stand on the back of a horse running at full speed, take off his pants and sneer, which even Ankun is ashamed of. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ After being the lieutenant general of the artillery battalion for a while, this time Ankun transferred him to his command, and his gratitude to the old chief was once again reused.
Seeing the order of the Chinese army, let his headquarters be the first to meet the enemy, the Dong madman roared, and the 50,000 archers rushed down the gentle slope like a tide, but the leading Dong madman did not directly rush to the Tianting Army's "Tianzi" array, after passing the Tianting Army, he occupied a corner of the east, and after turning the horse's head, the sharp whistling sound of the Dong Maniac sounded again, and 50,000 people slowly moved closer to the Heavenly Court Army in a fan shape, don't Dong Maniac gave the order again, and 50,000 crossbows were raised......
How could he not see this little trick of the Dong madman, and with a wave of the command, the same 50,000 archers in the corner of the "Tian Zi" quickly rushed out of the big formation, missed the left flank of the Kuxian Hu army to the right, and occupied the eastern corner where the Dong madman army had just stayed.
The big array of Tian characters that was missing a corner didn't know how to move, but in the blink of an eye, it still recovered a "Tian" character.
The Dong madman can't turn around to fight now, under the dazzling sun, it will suffer a big loss, and the Dong madman is about to launch an attack at the same time as the Heavenly Court Army is about to attack, the fan-shaped team is divided into two, and the reflexive is like two dragons surrounding the Heavenly Court Army archers and cavalry.
The archers of the 50,000 Heavenly Court Army immediately changed formation, like a quick knife falling on a tofu block, and the two halves of the fast riders each bit the tails of the two dragons of the Dong madman, and the 100,000 archers formed two barrels, and the two sides began to shoot at each other in the staggered manner, and from time to time someone was hit by a crossbow arrow, fell off his horse, and was trampled to death by the rolling hooves.
There were dozens of wounded war horses dragging their corpses like headless flies straight towards the Tianzi Great Array of the Heavenly Court Army, and before they could get closer, the spearmen in the first row of the large array raised the long weapons in their hands, and the horses were frightened and fled in horror like an empty field.
An Kun and Zhao Yun's eyes were not at all on the 100,000 archers who were fighting fiercely. Both sides are closely observing the movements of the other party's big array, and they can't wait to see where the other coach's eyes are falling?
Zhao Yun saw that there were at least 400,000 Kuxian Hu troops on the gentle slope in front of him, and in the wild boar mountain village six or seven miles away from the Tianzi phalanx, he only left less than 100,000 reserves. This kind of large army battles in formation, and the victory or defeat depends on who can retain a strong team in the end. Although the troops escorting the military rations have been organized, Zhao Yun understands that the combat effectiveness of these similar civil defense regiments is like a bird's nest, which can be stabbed and dropped. Zhao Yun can only wait for the opponent to make a move now, and only after he sees the opponent's weakness can he win with one blow.
Ankun also didn't dare to take it lightly, although he was still sure of defeating the enemy in front of him, but if the current battle destroyed a thousand people and lost eight hundred, he would not be able to withstand the final blow of the Heavenly Court Army that might come out of nowhere next time...... Seeing such a war of attrition between the two sides, Ankun frowned.
Just when Ankun began to scold his mother, the Dong madman led the archers who took the lead and retreated to the main position like a whirlwind, and the 200,000 Heavenly Court troops thought that the Kuxian Hu cavalry was retreating without support, and let out cheers.
"The artillery battalion is readyβ!"
When Ankun saw tens of thousands of Heavenly Court troops bite up, he was overjoyed in his heart, and his palms sweated slightly.
But just when the pursuing Heavenly Court cavalry was about to enter the range of artillery, Zhao Yun ordered to blow the trombone of retreat, and the Kuxian Hu archers withdrew without suffering much loss, and Zhao Yun vaguely felt that the other party had a conspiracy by intuition.
Just thinking about it, the archers of the Heavenly Court Army retreated stupidly.
Soon, even the Heavenly Court Army's Tianzi Great Array began to retreat in an orderly manner, and the black shadow gradually faded out of sight and disappeared below the horizon.
Kishikun thought that the opponent's attack today was just a tentative action, and maybe tomorrow would be the real fight. So he ordered the wounded archers to be healed on the spot.
In fact, Zhao Yun has discovered the weakness of the Kuxian Hu army through the observation just now, although the opponent's number is above his own, but the opponent's troops are mixed with infantry and cavalry, and most of them are infantry, as long as the Kuxian Hu army is moved, then his own cavalry speed is superior, attack power is superior, and he is still very sure of victory.
Zhao Yun didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity, and he led nearly 100,000 horsemen as a reserve team to approach him.
"Yarui vanguard listened to the order, you led 50,000 hussars, went straight behind the Kuxian Hu army, encountered the Kuxian Hu cavalry to block it, and entangled him for me. β
"Yes!" Ya Rui originally thought that Zhao Yun would not attack again, but he didn't expect to fight when he said that he would fight, and he responded excitedly.
"General Cui Jie listened to the order, you led 50,000 chasers to attack the No. 8 well, and report to me as soon as possible whether the No. 8 well is recovered or not. β
"Yes!"
"General Black Panther listens to the order, you lead 50,000 heavy cavalry, wait for the cliff vanguard to set off for a quarter of an hour, follow him, cover the safety of his rear flank, and assist him in destroying the Kuxian Hu cavalry. β
"Yes!"
Lao Cui and Black Panther are both from the big heads of the Great Liang Academy, and each of them has the ability to stand alone, and Zhao Yun has full confidence in this group of big heads who were added to the front line before the war.
The two cavalry rushed out in an instant, the sound of rolling horse hooves, no need to scout to report, Ankun saw Zhao Yun who had been fighting with him for a few days for the first time and inserted it into the rear army, although the rear army was guarded by an artillery battalion and 50,000 crossbowmen, but it was definitely unable to withstand the sharp attack of the Heavenly Court Army, he waved the command flag, and the four most elite hussar brigades and the archers of the Dong madman all nearly 80,000 people were nearly 80,000 people to cover the past.
For Cui Jie's 50,000 chasseurs, Ankun simply ignored it, and there were 30,000 defenders and 60,000 captives left in Well No. 8, which was enough for this cavalry without heavy siege weapons to gnaw for a while. He judged that the cavalry attacking Well No. 8 was a false fist from the Heavenly Court Army, and the blow that smashed directly into the rear army was the real heavy punch.
The black panther decorated by the lamb Qiu leopard saw that the cliff sharp department had been entangled with the Kuxian Hu army, which was not enough to care for a quarter of an hour, the first one rushed out with a horse lance, the heavy cavalry of the heavenly court was huge, leaving only two eye sockets and nostrils on the face, their mounts were all protected by stainless steel armor on their chests and necks, and there were also chain mail cloths on the crotch behind the horses, and the formation of the 50,000 heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals under the sun made the whole earth tremble...... The Black Panther often said to the students of the academy: If you go to the battlefield for the first time and see the heavy cavalry group charging, and your legs and stomach do not tremble, it means that you are bold enough and are born to be a soldier.
With a wave of the commanding flag, the four infantry phalanxes rushed down the gentle slope like crazy, trying to block the way of the Panthers.
The panther did not bother to engage the infantry at all, and the horse's head turned and turned, and the silver heavy cavalry was gone. The arrows and crossbows fired by the Kuxian Hu infantry did not touch even a single horsehair.
Zhao Yun led the remaining more than 100,000 cavalry back to the huge flat land that was arrayed just now, and still lined up a large formation with the word "Tian", his intention was obvious, if you dare to use infantry to reinforce the cavalry, then I will use light cavalry like a duck to chase you all over the mountains and wilderness.
Seeing that the Heavenly Court Army suddenly had more than 100,000 people, Ankun didn't dare to be careless. He ordered the four infantry phalanxes to retreat to the gentle slope as soon as possible.
"The whole army formed a plum blossom formation with the artillery battalion as the center, and immediately moved closer to the rear army!" An Kun saw that the other party had brought the advantages of the cavalry to the extreme, and it would be too unwise to entangle with the cavalry of the Heavenly Court Army.
Zhao Yun saw that there were signs of movement in the Chinese army of Kuxian Hu, and urged the entire Tianzi to lean forward.
"Boom, boom......"
A burst of artillery attacked, bombing the front line of the Tianzi array, shrapnel flew sideways, and dozens of people fell at once.
Zhao Yun had already come into contact with this kind of artillery a few times, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
"Except for the Chinese army's escort battalion, the other units formed a skirmish line, surrounded the Kuxian Hu infantry, and attacked with strong bows. β
More than 100,000 Heavenly Court cavalry, like a greedy sloth bear, holding a large piece of sweet honeycomb, rushed up from time to time and shot a few arrows...... If the Heavenly Court cavalry is too close, the heavily protected artillery battalion will stop from time to time to put a few cannons, and there is no need to aim accurately, just "boom" aimlessly, although the Heavenly Court cavalry is now all scattered, but the shells will still blow down a few cavalrymen from time to time.
Just stopped and fought, the two sides "grinded" for more than an hour, and before Zhao Yun "escorted" Ankun and them to meet near the rear army, the black panther and Ya Rui came back one after the other to resume their lives.
The black panther took off his helmet, threw a sweat hard, and said angrily: "Damn, the Kuxian Hu cavalry are all cowards, it's too shameless, when they saw us killed, they turned around and ran away......"
"They just want to fight with us once and for all. Ya Rui also reported to Zhao Yun: "After killing more than 2,000 Kuxian Hu cavalry, we also lost nearly 2,000 cavalry, but our department recovered more than 3,000 war horses......
"Boom!"
The Kuxian Hu Artillery Battalion, which hadn't moved a few steps, stopped firing artillery again, and this kind of fighting would really drive people crazy.
Zhao Yun categorically ordered: "The whole army retreats to the wild boar village." β
"Vice General Zhao, let's go and pick up Lao Cui and them!"
At this moment, a flying horse herald galloped from the direction of Well No. 8, and when he saw Zhao Yun, he excitedly reported: "Inform Deputy General Zhao that our troops have recovered Well No. 8 without blood, and have captured more than 10,000 Kuxian Hu soldiers. β
"Vice General Zhao, shall we go back to Wild Boar Mountain?"
Zhao Yun didn't expect that he had the intention to plant flowers and flowers, and he had no intention of planting willows and willows, and he was able to tie with the Kuxian Hu Army here, but Lao Cui over there had achieved good results. Seeing the panther asking about the direction of the march, Zhao Yun, who had always been serious, choked him with a smile: "Do you think I'm stupid......? The whole army is marching towards Well No. 8!"
"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
