Chapter 190: The Battle of Mohe (3)
On the entire plain battlefield, the infantry and cavalry of both sides had a total of 30,000 to 40,000 people. Once the people passed by, the dense sea of people seemed to cover the entire plain, and there was no boundary. The sound of fighting was soaring into the sky.
Just when Yang Zong wanted to take the opportunity to settle Tuoba Ye, the enemy cavalry general, two more Wei cavalry rushed out from beside him, and they waved their sledgehammers and long-handled axes, one on the left and one on the right, respectively.
Yang Zong had no choice but to turn the direction in the middle of the palm, and suddenly poked out to the right. The snatch collided with the weak force point of the Wei cavalry sledgehammer, making a "clang" sound.
The next moment, the Wei Jun who was using the hammer groaned, his tiger's mouth was numb, and the hammer also dropped his hand and fell to the ground. Before he could react, the sharp spear tip had already crossed his throat.
"Captain, go!"
After this delay, the injured Tuoba Ye was pulled onto the back of another person and left quickly.
"Where to escape!"
Yang Zong took the lead and chased after him. The spear in his hand exploded with silver light, sweeping across all the enemies in front of him like a whirlwind.
It’s a pity that most of these Wei cavalry were brave men who had been through the battlefield for a long time. They were very difficult to deal with. After killing seven or eight people in a row, he completely lost the trace of Tuoba Ye.
However, due to the retreat of Tuoba Ye, the commander of the army, the morale of this light cavalry also fell to the bottom. Under the impact of the cavalry battalion, he was killed so hard that he flew everywhere, and his people were overturned by horses, and soon he was defeated and fled towards the hills.
"Chase!"
Gongsun Zhi made a quick decision and led the cavalry battalion to pursue the victory and expand the results of the battle.
The speed and explosive power of the sweat-blooded BMW were far above the Northern Wei war horses, so it was difficult for the escaped Northern Wei cavalry to escape the pursuit, and could only be eroded by the chased cavalry battalion bit by bit.
On the plain, broken limbs were scattered on the ground, and the ownerless war horses were spinning in panic.
The flags of Tuoba Ye's cavalry camp fell to the ground and turned into rags covered with blood, mud and dirt.
His three thousand Northern Wei light cavalry have fought until now, and after chasing, there are only less than a thousand cavalry left to escape from the battlefield alive.
Among the more than 2,000 people's war losses, only hundreds of cavalry died in the battlefield, and most of the rest were chased by the cavalry battalions from behind when they fled.
On the contrary, the Black Armored Cavalry Battalion suffered much less losses, killing dozens of people in battle and injuring less than a hundred people, and most of them could continue to fight.
When they chased after hundreds of meters away from the hilly area, they began to slowly pull their horses, then circled a large circle and returned to the battlefield, and began to attack the Wei army from the flanks.
Although Tuoba Ye's three thousand cavalry were defeated, it did not have much impact on the 20,000 Wei infantry.
First, the battlefield is too big, with people everywhere, everyone is fighting desperately, and few people can notice the situation of the cavalry. After all, the place where the three thousand people fight is close to the flank of the Black Armor Army, which is far from the front battlefield. Compared with tens of thousands of people, these three thousand people are like a splash in the river.
Second, the commanders and generals of various units of the Wei army were veterans who had been through the battlefield. The losses of just 3,000 cavalrymen would not affect their combat plans.
After the sound of drums that shook the sky, the black armored spearmen formed a shield wall and advanced layer by layer. The Northern Wei soldiers who rushed up were almost immediately stabbed to death by the overlapping spears stretched out from the shield wall.
But soon, a second group of Wei soldiers followed without hesitation, as if the raging waves were rolling up the reefs, and the waves were endless.
The bravery of the Wei people is evident, and it is much worse than that of killing people.
This reason has a lot to do with the geographical environment and national policies between the two countries. As we all know, the Northern Wei Dynasty advocated martial arts, and the martial arts style was prevalent, while the big cadres advocated literary style. The literary style was prosperous, and there were even many literati in the court who were generals.
Faced with these waves of impact, the array of the Black Armored Army remained as unmoved as the mainstay standing in the flood, allowing the waves to slam, bombard and shatter again and again.
In the forefront of the military formation, the commander Wang Tieniu took charge with a hundred and ten fierce personal soldiers.
His eyes patrolled the surrounding situation like a hawk. Once he found that there was something that was shaking, he rushed over with his personal soldiers and slashed and killed them, stabbing the shaken team.
Such a scene almost happened in the military formations of various battalions of the Black Armor Army. Because of this, the shield formation of the Black Armor Army is as solid as a rock.
On the other hand, the injured Tuoba Ye was also escorted back to the hilly central army and met Liu Jingyu who was observing the battlefield at a high place.
"Brother-in-law, I'm embarrassing you!"
He knelt on the ground, his face full of shame, and he was completely unhappy in the battle.
"At up, when did the Wei people's knees become so soft!"
Liu Jingyu looked directly at the battlefield ahead and said in a deep voice.
When Tuoba Ye heard this, his originally white face suddenly turned a little flushed and he immediately stood up.
"A failure is not terrible. Just learn from the lesson and win it back next time. Come and see the situation and tell me what you think."
Liu Jingyu pointed ahead and said.
Tuoba Ye took a few steps forward and looked up. The location here is located at a high place with a wide view, and the plain battlefield below is unobstructed.
After looking at it for a while, his face suddenly became solemn, "Brother-in-law, this black armored army is not simple. The army is tight, with moderate command, and more advanced and retreating. It doesn't look like a traitor's army at all. If this shield formation is not broken, it will be difficult for us to win."
Before, he led his army to entangle with the cavalry battalion. He was in the game and was naturally not very clear about the situation on the battlefield. Now, when he saw that he had not taken any advantage, the two sides were in a stalemate.
"You kid finally has some strength in his eyes. It's worth my hard work. This Black Armored Army is a little stronger than the regular army of Ganchao we encountered. Our Northern Wei army went south and attacked all the way south. This stalemate is rare."
Liu Jingyu has been on the battlefield for many years and has seen that it is impossible to defeat the Black Armored Army on the plains with just 20,000 infantry. At this moment, unless he personally leads the central cavalry into the battlefield and breaks the deadlock.
Otherwise, this ambush will become a war of attrition, and it will be difficult to decide the outcome for a while.
Just as he was hesitating whether to suppress all his troops, new changes appeared on the battlefield, and the black armored military shield formation, which had always been as solid as a rock, was finally broken through the defense line.
"Brother-in-law, good opportunity!"
Tuoba Ye next to him was immediately overjoyed when he saw this.
Seeing this scene, Liu Jingyu immediately made up his mind. Otherwise, when the Black Armor Army reorganized, it would become a war of attrition again. This army was his direct army, and he would not be willing to consume it with the other party in this way.
