Chapter 512 Bloody Yanzhou (12)
There is such a neat military formation firmly blocking the entrance of Xinchuan, and the very narrow mountain road is filled with horse-repelling equipment placed by Beiliang infantry.
When the vast battlefield in front of the valley entrance returned to calm, Xin Ji's whole body trembled.
Seeing the Jin cavalry slowly approaching the mouth of the valley, Xin Ji murmured sadly: "The right cavalry has been defeated, it's our turn."
The whole army stood solemnly, with shields raised and spears standing everywhere.
Across the battlefield not far away, Wanyan Aguda showed irritation for the first time. Unexpectedly, just after finishing the cavalry, another infantry appeared. Because the valley entrance was too narrow, he could not see clearly.
How many people are there in the infantry on the opposite side? All you can see are the densely packed spear points glowing with cold light and layers of horse-repelling stakes.
A general quickly came to Wanyan Aguda's side and reported with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, more than 5,000 people were killed in the battle by Guaizima, and nearly 1,000 were killed in Tiefu Tu."
Wanyan Aguda's brows furrowed. He had twice the enemy's troops, and was also equipped with ace heavy cavalry. The kidnapping horse was also the first-class main force under his command.
With such a fighting strength, he was almost beaten one to one by the Beiliang Army. Originally, Wanyan Aguda thought that the battle could end with at most two thousand casualties, but the reality was tragic.
At this time, the remaining Jin reinforcements also arrived at the battlefield under the leadership of Prince Long's deputy general Kaldan. This Jin soldier general who had not seen the battle just now was surprised when he heard the battle damage. He did not expect the battle to be so fierce.
Tragic.
Wanyan Agudao looked at the battlefield, which was completely covered with the corpses of soldiers and war horses. The horses' hooves were unable to move at high speed, which would cause great trouble for the cavalry to break the formation.
"Your Majesty, leave this infantry formation to me and let the Iron Buddha Temple rest for a while. There may be another war next," Kaldan said softly.
"Quick fight, quick decision!" Wanyan Aguda said in a deep voice.
"promise!"
With the command flags fluttering, large groups of cavalry quickly emerged from the Jin soldiers' formation and headed straight for the mountain pass.
When the golden cavalry's horses stepped on the land full of corpses, the speed obviously slowed down. Such a bloody scene even made these battle-hardened Prince Long's soldiers feel churning in their stomachs, and they had to hold it back.
There was no vomiting on the spot.
Throughout the afternoon, the 15,000 cavalry sent by Kaldan took turns attacking the Beiliang horse formation blocking the valley entrance without stopping for a moment.
However, due to the narrow valley road, Beiliang was well prepared, and the previous deadly battle between the Beiliang army had left a huge psychological shadow on the Jin soldiers, so the speed of breaking the formation was extremely slow.
Wanyan Aguda looked at Taniguchi who was so close and felt mixed. He didn't know what was going on in the Qilian Mountain battlefield. Since Beiliang sent soldiers to stop them, there must be corresponding countermeasures in the Qilian Mountain battlefield. Now a whole day has passed.
Now, the development of the war has been out of his control.
Even if his son really delayed the arrival of the army, could his 40,000 to 50,000 men who had been fighting fiercely for a day really have the final say?
Prince Long felt a headache when he thought of this.
As the sun sets over the Western Mountains, the entire land begins to be shrouded in dusk.
The sound of horse hooves, shouts of death, and roars are endless.
Under the charge of Jin soldiers one after another, Beiliang infantry suffered heavy casualties. At this time, only a thousand infantrymen could barely stand with their guns raised, and most of them were wounded, with their shields broken.
The cold soldiers could only rely on their flesh and blood to stop the golden man's horse hooves.
Xin Ji was covered in blood, and several of the spears in his hand had broken off. He gritted his teeth and still commanded the defense.
He can hold on as long as he can, this is Xinji's promise to Chenyue.
A group of two thousand horsemen began to gather in front of the infantry formation, preparing for the final charge. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the cavalry formation in front of them could no longer stop the cavalry charge.
"Woo~woo!"
At this moment, a loud horn sound came from behind the infantry phalanx, followed by the deafening sound of horse hooves.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The overwhelming snow-white arrows flew down from the sky and shot steadily in front of the infantry formation. The Jin soldiers and cavalry suddenly fell on their backs.
Xin Ji suddenly turned his head and saw a line of silver-armored and white-armored cavalry rushing towards him like a river tide, and the bloody handsome flag with the word "dust" in the air did not fall down in the wind.
"Haha, my mission is completed." Xin Ji saw a familiar figure facing him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then his body went limp.
This Liaodong general, who was on the front line and blocked more than ten attacks by the Jin soldiers, completely passed out and his body was covered with wounds.
Wanyan Aguda naturally saw what was happening on the battlefield. With a wave of his hand, the flag waved, and the Jin cavalry in front quickly withdrew and merged into the main army.
Chen Yue looked at Xin Ji who fell in the soldier's arms with a stern look on his face.
Qian Zimo stepped forward, breathed, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded to Chen Yue to show that he was still alive.
"Bi Hu, take the wounded soldiers back to the camp first! The rest of the army will form an array at the entrance of the valley!" Chen Yue lightly raised the spear in his hand and shouted angrily.
"promise!"
The Daliang dragon cavalry, whose number was less than 10,000, quickly poured out of the valley mouth, followed closely by the Snow Guard cavalry led by Yu Binyang.
The more than 10,000 Beiliang cavalry who arrived at the battlefield after marching 20 miles were breathing heavily, and many of them had blood stains on their bodies. They also rushed here non-stop after almost a day and night of fierce fighting. It could be said that they were at the end of their battle.
But when they saw the tragic scene in front of the Shinkawaguchi battlefield, the veins in the hands holding swords and spears were exposed again, and everyone was full of fighting spirit.
It is extremely difficult to find a complete corpse, let alone a living right cavalry soldier.
The Daliang Dragon Riders all wore silver armor, the Snow Guards all wore white robes, and the battlefield was all scarlet, looking so majestic under the setting sun.
Across the battlefield, the two armies looked at each other from a distance.
Wanyan Aguda looked at this cavalry army that had obviously just experienced a battle, knowing that Qilian had been defeated on the battlefield.
The handsome flag with the word "chen" attracted his attention.
"Is the Marquis of Beiliang here personally?" Wanyan Aguda murmured.
Chen Yue gritted his teeth and scanned the battlefield. Finally, he paused and rode out. Taking the risk of being shot by the golden soldiers' feather arrows, Chen Yue plunged into the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood.
When he arrived at a pile of corpses, Chen Yue bent down on his horse, stretched out his hand to pick up a broken flag of the Right Cavalry Army, and then rode back to the formation under the gaze of tens of thousands of troops from both sides.
One person, one horse and one flag, all eyes are filled with sadness.
Qian Zimo and Xiao Shangwen's hearts trembled violently at the same time, they suddenly raised their spears and shouted hoarsely: "Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
With this roar rising to the sky, Chen Yue stationed his horse in front of the military formation, firmly inserted the right cavalry army flag into the yellow sand at his feet, raised his spear and roared:
"Dare to fight!"
Wanyan Aguda clenched the reins with his palms, fighting spirit surging on his face.
After hesitating for a long time, Wanyan Aguda lost all his momentum. The Prince of Beijinlong reined in his horse and turned around, uttering two words:
Chapter completed!
