Ding Kui and Shao Dian Tai were both at high altitude, but Ding Kui had a better view. He could hide his troops in the military camp, but the attacking troops would definitely be exposed in the wild.
"Wolf smoke!" Tan Shang suddenly became excited.
I saw smoke coming from the southeast, indicating that Ding Kui and other reinforcements were approaching.
Shao Diantai obviously saw it too. He didn't bother to continue confronting Ding Kui and quickly flew back to his main formation.
The cavalry's attack became even more fierce. The Crane Wing Formation of the 3rd Brigade of the 80th Division could not hold on any longer. The captain personally stood in the front row of the spear formation and commanded the fine armored infantry to break through the cavalry formation's spear light.
Boom, an arrow tower collapsed, and a gap appeared in the camp wall below. The navy teamed up with the cavalry to attack desperately, and finally opened a gap after paying the price of a pile of corpses.
The remaining half of the officers and soldiers protecting the arrow tower immediately formed a circular formation on the spot and blocked the rear of the gap to prevent the enemy troops from rushing into the Beida camp.
Shao Diancang remounted his horse, temporarily organized dozens of horsemen, rushed into the newly opened gap, and attacked the circular formation with his spear.
At this time, a group of cavalry emerged from the camp, and the leader was Qiao Meng. He led the team to chase down the enemy cavalry that broke into the camp, and also directed the scattered troops to gather into a battle formation.
"Qiao Meng! Come here and take a shot from Grandpa." Shao Dian Cang broke up the circle and turned around to see Qiao Meng beating the subordinates behind him to pieces.
"Thankfully you are a general." Qiao Meng ignored Shao Diancang and continued to chase the enemy cavalry who ran deep into the military camp.
Shaodian Cang was just about to chase Qiao Meng when a sharp sound of breaking wind sounded behind him. He quickly turned around and turned his gun to resist the rain of arrows.
This time the volley of powerful crossbows was not easy to block. A squadron of phalanx fired a hundred arrows.
Sure enough, Shaodian Cang only blocked one-third of the arrows in his haste, one-third of which penetrated the defense of the spear and hit his mount, half of the other third were dodged by him sideways, and the other half were hit by Dou Qi.
On the armor.
It was equivalent to more than ten attacks with a fifth-level combat power. He was shot off his horse. Several crossbow arrows were stuck in the fine armor and actually shot through the fighting spirit armor.
Boom, another round of shooting.
"Protect your lord!" Shaodian's eyes were split open, and he rode his horse and rushed in front of Shaodian Cang, using both his spear and sword to block the crossbow arrows.
The dozen or so horsemen closest to Shaodian Cang also rushed forward, but unfortunately they were a step too late and failed to help Shaodian Ben. Half of the hundred crossbow arrows were inserted into Shaodian Ben and his mount.
"Run! There is cover over there." Shao Diancang stood up and pointed at the arrow tower on the ground, "Quick!" After saying that, he picked up his gun and ran.
The best way to deal with a volley of crossbow arrows is to hide. The crossbow arrows will not automatically track the target, and they will not be easily hit while running.
Whoosh, whoosh, another round of crossbow arrows came, knocking over Shaodian Ben who was holding on. He couldn't run anymore, and he was the target of concentrated fire. The people around him couldn't save him. Shaodian Cang knew very well that he could only
It was painful to leave him behind.
"Pull the net, pull the horse rope, Captain Zhang, lead your men to form a spear formation, and charge at the enemy who slows down the horse." Qiao Meng walked to the rear of the troops who had already formed a fighting formation, and commanded the nearby troops.
Counterattack on the spot.
More and more cavalry rushed into the gap. Shao Diancang hid behind the ruins of the arrow tower and ordered his men to tear down the wall to widen the gap.
There was chaos in the camp area to the east. The garrison troops and the cavalry formed many small battle groups and started a fierce battle in the barracks.
Boom, an arrow tower also fell down on the west camp wall. Fortunately, Han Ruren had made a judgment and arrived in time to organize nearby troops to block the gap that was opened.
Wu Huo led the remaining seven brigades out of the main formation, and the second cavalry division launched an all-out charge. There was another division in the rear, and it looked like it would also launch a charge.
Ding Kui turned around and rushed down and made a few gestures. Jiang Zhi saw clearly through the telescope, so he ordered: "Tell Xi Xiu to let the enemy troops enter the camp to fight. If necessary, set fire to it."
Woo woo, woo woo, the low trombone sounded the signal to retreat.
"The crossbow troops should withdraw first. The other troops should not break up in their battle formations and withdraw to the back of the general platform alternately." Qiao Meng and Han Ruren immediately organized their troops to retreat.
Boom, boom, boom, more arrow towers fell down, and multiple gaps appeared in the walls of the rear camp. After the defenders retreated, the 91st Division finally fully invaded the Beida Camp.
However, the military camp was still full of dangers. There were battle formations in all the open spaces, as well as terrifying iron pulleys. Blocking the center was a thick moon formation, and Wang Chou stood proudly at the eye of the formation.
"Don't light the fire! Idiot!" Shao Diancang yelled angrily, "The troops behind are still rushing in. If the camp is set on fire, aren't you asking for trouble!"
One of his subordinates casually lit a camp tent on fire. This was originally a habitual action after breaking the enemy camp. Fire can also undermine the confidence of the troops defending the camp.
But today's situation is different. The Tenth Army Corps must use the fastest speed to break through the Beida Camp. They cannot wait for the fire to burn slowly. They must use sufficient troops to break up the army defending the camp.
"Hold the enemy and wait for the 92nd Division to come up and overwhelm them!" Shao Diancang did not organize his troops to charge again.
The 91st Division, which has been replenished, has 7,000 men. More than 1,000 people fell when they attacked the camp walls and gates. After rushing into the barracks, they were met with a full counterattack by more than 10,000 garrison troops. They fell again in order to maintain the gap that had been opened.
More than two thousand people.
As of now, there are only more than 3,000 Shao Diancang's men left, which together are not as large as the Yanyue Formation in the distance. If they organize another charge, they will wipe out all these men.
"Tear down all the tents!" Gan Yun led the remaining naval forces to continue clearing obstacles for the cavalry.
The most common thing in a military camp is the tent, which takes up the most space. After being demolished, a large space can be made available for the cavalry to speed up again.
"Lao Shu, please go to the middle camp to build a defense line and clear the firebreak near the rear camp." Xi Xiu was ready to abandon the rear camp.
"Okay, don't hold on, there is a legion on the opposite side after all." After saying this, Shu Li took the order and stepped down.
The forwards of the 92nd Division rushed into the military camp, and under the guidance of Shao Diancang, rushed towards the Yanyue Formation blocking the middle.
"Well done!" Wang Chou jumped on his horse, "Archers and crossbowmen shoot quickly!"
There were a thousand long-range soldiers at the bottom of the Yanyue Formation, and the dense rain of arrows was enough to cover the open space in the center of the rear camp. The forward of the 92nd Division was hit head-on, and a layer of cavalry in the front was immediately cut off.
"Strike with sharp arrows!" The commanding officer was furious. Narrowing the front of the attack could reduce losses, so his decision was not wrong.
Xi Xiu ordered: "The ballistae concentrated on attacking the center of the cavalry formation."
The ballista on the platform opened fire, which made the officer who ordered the arrow array regret it to death. Of course, he was really dead, with the giant crossbow nailing him to the ground.
Shao Diancang did not see this scene, because he led his team to the east, and the taller military tower caught his attention.
It was the junction of Beidaying and Dongdaying. The handsome platform was backed by the rear camp of Dongdaying. Little Diancang didn't know that Dongdaying was already an empty camp. Ten thousand civilians in military uniforms were guarding the fortifications.
It's heavily guarded.
When he saw Jiang Zhi, he couldn't resist the idea of sneak attack on the enemy's commander. Ding Kui was in the sky, and Jiang Zhi was actually commanding the army of the small court, and his status was equivalent to that of the commander.
"Charge! Rush over and capture the enemy commander alive!" Shao Diancang desperately ordered the charge again.
When Jiang Zhi saw this, a disdainful smile appeared on his face. When Wang Chou passed by Dongda Camp, he left him five thousand elite soldiers, "Let the enemy be surrounded and killed under the commander's platform!" He boldly used himself as bait.
At this time, Wu Huo led his troops into the Beida camp and found that his forward troops had turned into a bloody road. His heart sank: the enemy did not use all their strength at first and deliberately let us enter the camp. This battle will not be easy to fight.
"Detour back to the enemy's general tower from both wings." He did not choose to charge into the Yanyue Formation. "The Ninth Brigade dismounted and advanced on foot in multiple rows. The Tenth Brigade waited for an opportunity to charge behind."
Walking is helpful for avoiding crossbows, and spreading out in rows can share long-range attacks. If the enemy attacks with force, they can only use human lives to fill the gap.
"The crossbows stopped attacking and aimed at the cavalry behind them." Xi Xiu didn't want to waste the giant crossbow arrows on the dismounted cavalry. "General Han, please lead the troops from Dongda Camp to the central camp to fortify themselves."
The melee in the military camp required a strong army, so he only left the original troops of the Beida Camp, and the troops of the Twelfth Army could only serve as reserves, and Han Ruren would not accept it.
Both the 79th and 80th Divisions are good at defensive warfare, and they are not afraid of facing cavalry on their home ground. With the "foreign aid" commanded by Wang Chou, it will not be too difficult for more than 20,000 people to deal with the 92nd Division.
Half of Wu Huo's Ninth Brigade fell down halfway, "The Tenth Brigade dismounted and climbed up, the Eighth Brigade gathered and stood by." He could only continue to fight, the Ninth Brigade could not withdraw.
Shao Diantai flew back to high altitude. At this time, his attention was no longer on Ding Kui, and his eyes drifted to the southeast from time to time.
Ding Kui suddenly got lucky and shouted: "Don't look! The 71st Division has already moved behind you!"
"Hahaha! Just let Dong Ba come, I can teach him how to command the cavalry." Shao Dian Tai did not believe Ding Kui's lies.
During the war, the cavalry regiment placed its scouts at least ten miles away, and the rear thoroughfare was more than twenty miles away, far beyond Ding Kui's sight range. Shao Diantai didn't know where the 71st Division was, but he only knew that it was definitely not behind.
It has been nearly half an hour since the fighting began. There is a good chance that the 71st Division will arrive, but it has not yet shown up.
Ding Kui needed those three well-equipped divisions, but the 71st Division was not enough to change the situation of the battle. The addition of the 74th and 75th Divisions could ensure the defeat of Shao Diantai.
"Kill!" Wang Chou raised his sword high, eager to rush to the front row.
Wu Huo, who was on the opposite side, also ordered: "The Eighth Brigade will divide into small cavalry formations and charge!"
The last row of two hundred people from the Ninth Brigade of the 92nd Division finally came to the infantry of the Yanyue Formation, followed by a relatively complete team from the Tenth Brigade.
"Balista attack!" Xi Xiu's focus was entirely on the front.
The troops guarding both sides were no less than those in the middle, and the area was narrow, which was not conducive to large-scale cavalry charges and the defensive pressure was not great.
Whoosh, a fire dragon flew down.
Chen Panqiu, with a stern face, ordered: "The whole army attacks!"
The 93rd Division, which was on standby, was divided into five teams and ran towards Beida Camp.
More than ten huge gaps were opened in the outer wall of the rear camp. The cavalry coming from behind could pass through quickly, and Wu Huo, who was in a bitter battle, would immediately receive strong support.
