Chapter 464 The decisive battle in Huashan County begins
Hong Jin was not sitting on the commander's platform. He was wearing a ghost-faced helmet and riding a black pure-blood galloping horse. He rode alone in front of the central army and looked coldly at the Shaodian cavalry rushing towards his left army.?
The rain of arrows kept falling on the heads of the Shaodian cavalry. Most of the arrows were deflected, and only a few unlucky ones were hit. What was even more unlucky was that those who protected themselves but failed to protect their horses fell directly from the horses.
.
As long as they rush through this open space of less than 200 meters, the archers protected by only a few infantry will be a piece of cake. The 10,000 Shaodian cavalry can rush forward with all their strength, and they will immediately give the enemy a taste of their own power.
.
Suddenly, the cavalrymen running in the first two rows stumbled, and they and their horses fell forward. The cavalrymen following behind reacted in time to avoid their fallen comrades, but they also fell to the ground before they could take more than two steps. It seemed that they were still falling.
They were about to rush into the enemy's formation when they were only a hundred or ten meters away, but Shaodian's cavalry fell to the ground one after another.
Careful people discovered that the solid ground in front of Cao's left army's formation turned into quicksand, and horses would fall into it no matter how fast they ran.
"'Quicksand Trap'! The front is full of 'Quicksand Trap'!" The cavalry at the front shouted, "Reduce, reduce! Turn quickly on the side!"
"Signal! Inform the right wing to outflank and come back, and today we must severely damage Shaodianguo's cavalry!" No one could see clearly the expression of Hong Jin behind the mask, his voice was cold and firm.
Puffy, a continuous stream of magic light bullets shot high into the sky.
Hong Jin raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and smashed it down hard.
Dong dong dong, dong dong dong, the neat and rhythmic drum beat sounded, and the right army of the Meng Kingdom inserted diagonally into the middle of the battlefield. The goal was obvious, to cut off the connection between the Shaodian cavalry who failed to charge the formation and the main formation in the rear.
This was a situation that Hong Jin finally set up. He first moved the right wing of the legion to the southeast and pretended to open a retreat to the southeast. When the five cavalry divisions of Shaodian Kingdom approached, he asked the left wing of the legion to divert 20,000 Shaodian away.
cavalry; finally, the Shaodian cavalry from three divisions were attracted to try to attack the main force of the legion, and used magic traps to trap 10,000 enemy troops. As long as the 84th, 85th and 86th divisions on the right wing of the legion could quickly outflank the main force of the legion, they
The 30,000 Shaodian cavalry will suffer heavy losses, and the Ninth Legion will most likely escape safely back to Xiaxuan Pass.
Peng Shuo, commander of the 11th Lindi Division, serves as the commander-in-chief of the cavalry assault department and is nervously watching the situation on the battlefield. Next to him on horseback is Tang Fu, commander of the 196th Division.
"General Peng, the enemy has used magic light bombs and must have arranged an ambush to deal with us. While the retreat is not cut off now, we have to get your 12th Division out as soon as possible. If it's too late, we will be attacked.
We are surrounded here." Tang Fu squinted his eyes and looked at the magic light bullets in the air.
"The enemy's left wing army can be brought back, and your army's 197th and 198th divisions can also rush back. This journey is nothing to be afraid of. Just now, a letter eagle sent to Kaiwu City to expedite military information. This morning, the first part of our army is in Wanggui City.
Four thousand men from the Meng 84th Division were surrounded and annihilated in the hilly area. Calculating the time, they had not completely annihilated the Meng 84th Division and should have surrounded it. Therefore, the enemy's right-wing army only had two divisions at most.
Fan Shuai leads the main force of the 50,000-strong army to arrive at Kaiwucheng in three hours. It takes an hour to get here from Kaiwucheng. This means that we can hold off the enemy for four hours. Meng's Ninth Army will be here this time.
Removed during the battle." Peng Shuo's lips were covered with fine sweat, showing that he was much more nervous inside than on the surface.
"We didn't know that Meng's 9th Army had so many high-level earth magicians that your 12th Division could not overtake the enemy's left army. How could we hold on for four hours?" Tang Fu turned his attention to being ravaged by a rain of arrows.
The Lindi 12th Division.
Due to the "quicksand trap", two brigades of Lindi's 12th Division fell into chaos. Most of the cavalry lost their horses and crowded together. They suffered ruthless long-range attacks in front of the Meng Zuo Army's formation. The situation was very passive.
"There are more than 30,000 enemy troops here, and we also have 30,000. If the enemy's right wing is not reached, we can hold on. After a while, their right army cut into the middle, and I led my troops to rush up and attack 12 people from the side.
The divisions come out to respond; you stand still and I leave all the magicians to you. If their central army dares to come up, you go around to the back and take away their command post." Peng Shuo's negligence caused the Meng Ninth Army to leave the front.
For nearly half a day, the Second Earth Army Corps had been looking for opportunities to make up for their mistakes. In this battle, they risked their own lives to hold off the enemy and allow their main force to catch up.
Peng Shuo's bet was right. The right wing of the Meng Ninth Army could not see the signal from the main force now, and they were rushing to rescue the friendly forces.
Ding Kui blew a rapid whistle, and Ao Yu waved the team flag in circles, summoning Xue Chong who was far away from the enemy scouts. Xue Chong abandoned the scouts of Meng's 85th Division, pulled up his team and retreated.
.
"Team Xue, Master Miao ordered us to withdraw and rest behind the army." Ding Kui led his troops into a cone-shaped charging formation, but the arrows were pointing toward the rear.
The retreat formation turned into a wild goose formation. The cooperation of the First Battalion already looked a bit like a veteran.
"Huh? There are still some deserters in Meng's 84th Division?" Xue Chong saw the troops covering Deng Guan's retreat.
"Don't mess with them. There are tower-opening magic and fearless knights there. Master Zhang won't let you go even if you defeat him." Ding Kui was afraid that Xue Chong would not give in in front of him.
"Hahaha, brat, when did you learn to be so steady? After this battle, you all have become Mr. Zhang's treasure. I know it very well. Okay, go around, beat the lost dog and go back." Xue Chong knew.
Ding Kui is talking about Zhang Jie, the commander of the 2o1 Division.
After the test of war, the First Battalion is already a force with initial combat effectiveness. Most of the situations encountered in the field have been accumulated in today's battles. Among them, the First Squadron has demonstrated military might and is a division.
Team leader Zhang Jie has a veritable trump card.
The loss of more than a dozen people is unavoidable, but if the loss of a hundred or dozens of people is expected, Zhang Jie will be impatient; if the number of losses doubles again, Zhang Jie may dare to jump in front of Fan Yi, and Xue Chong, who is leading the army, will naturally not
Good ending.
Deng Guan looked at the military flag that made him angry and hateful. He felt relieved when he saw that the enemy troops behind him did not pursue him. That team of ruthless men definitely had the courage to charge towards him. What made him happy was that
Perhaps under the pressure of the Mongolian army behind them, the cavalrymen carefully went around them. They only chased and killed the stragglers for a while and then withdrew.
When the two teams met each other, Deng Guan and Ao Yu, who was carrying the flag, looked at each other. Deng Guan, who was wearing a fighting spirit armor, suddenly felt a chill coming from his vest. This startled Deng Guan and he quickly activated his fighting spirit.
, dissipating the chill on the back while strengthening the defense of the fighting spirit armor.
