Chapter 5 Returning (Third Shang) On the battlefield, pity for the enemy is the cruelty towards oneself. The officers and soldiers of Marquis Youwu were unwilling to be cruel to their general, but the rebels behind the general would not leave them any room.
In an instant, where the two armies came into contact, a large piece of the right wing of the army collapsed. Then, the army formation disintegrated as fast as an avalanche, and the entire You Wuhou army collapsed.
"Kill, kill!" Zhao Xiaocai, the general of Youwuhou, became angry and raised the flag in person. It had been more than three months since Li Zixiong left Youwuhou, but he, the general, could not control his soldiers. No matter what the final result was in today's battle,
His personal future has been completely ruined. The imperial court will not tolerate a waste without any leadership ability. Those competitors in the army who are eyeing the position of General You Wuhou will not hesitate to add insult to injury.
Several defeated soldiers of Marquis Youwu escaped in front of his horse, and he stabbed him to death with his long spear. A lieutenant ran to him and tried to explain a few words to his brothers. Perhaps he was kind-hearted and wanted to help the general.
But everything about this idea was unimportant. Before he could speak, Zhao Xiaocai raised his hand and lifted his body into the air.
"Those who backpedal will use this as an example!" Zhao Xiaocai shouted crazily, throwing the captain's body out of the way. In the next moment, he pulled up his horse high and trampled over the other two cowards who were trying to escape with their hoofs.
The brothers of Youwuhou bypassed him and fled back desperately. It would have been too late. If before Li Zixiong came to kill, Zhao Xiaocai had not hid in the middle of the team and ordered others to die, but had bravely charged towards Li Zixiong like he did now.
Maybe You Wuhou would not have collapsed so quickly. After the army collapsed, he only remembered the responsibility of the general. After the collapse, the army no longer needed a general who could only dominate.
Another wave of soldiers rushed in, but Zhao Xiaocai and his soldiers intercepted them. The soldiers hacked to death the fastest running cowards. The blood reminded others of the honor of the military. It was a shame to sit back and die, so
They raised their weapons and fought with the soldiers supervising the battle.
Taking advantage of their large numbers, the rebels quickly cleared the obstacles on the road. When they saw Zhao Xiaocai holding his sword and shouting, they all just didn't do anything. They rushed up to pull him off his horse and stabbed him again.
Cutting down the general flag of You Wuhou
Toppling the flag was equivalent to announcing the annihilation of You Wuhou's entire army. In an instant, the rout of troops surged like a tidal wave, which not only overwhelmed his own array, but also pulled away the You Imperial Guards Ma, who also belonged to the right wing. General Zhang Jin tried to save the situation and drove
The soldiers and horses of the headquarters formed a formation to protect themselves. "Formation, if there are any rushers in the formation, kill them!" His soldiers waved the command flag and shouted at the top of their lungs. The heavy armored soldiers, the shield bearers and the spear bearers quickly assembled and cooperated with each other to form
Several huge steel hedgehogs. Unfortunately, the first thing they came into contact with was not the rebels, but their own people who had collapsed from Youwuhou. Some soldiers of Youwuhou with quick legs turned sideways, bypassed the cold branches, and jumped from several
The gap between the iron hedgehogs escaped and more rebel soldiers stood in front of the iron hedgehogs at a loss. Under the pressure of the enemy forces behind them, they begged, pushed, hit them with shields, and carried them on their shoulders, trying to catch up with the rebels.
Find an escape route before coming here
"Kill!" Facing the rebels who threatened the safety of the formation, General Zhang Jin of the Right Imperial Guard issued an interception order without hesitation. Hundreds of long spears were thrust out from behind the shield, and the rebels were pushed back by a few feet in an instant.
The man was unable to escape and was pierced by the Changshan. The blood immediately burned everyone's eyes. After only a moment of hesitation, You Wuhou's rebel army raised the steel knife Changshan in their hands, not facing the rebels.
Army, but facing the robe of the right imperial guard
The training level of You Wuhou's officers and soldiers is no worse than that of You Yuwei's brothers. The armors on their bodies and the weapons in their hands are also as sophisticated as those of You Yuwei's brothers. The two officers and soldiers killed each other in front of the rebels. Iron Hedgehog
They were immediately torn apart. Seeing the advantage, Li Zixiong immediately used feather arrows to greet the rebels. No matter whether the officers and soldiers shot belonged to Youyuwei or Youwuhou, the situation would become more and more chaotic. In the blink of an eye, Youyuwei's defense line also collapsed.
There are signs that the right wing of the army is in danger
Zhang Jin had no choice but to order someone to blow the horn for help, asking the Chinese army to support him. The flag of Youwuhou General Zhao Xiaocai had fallen in the rebel army, and his life or death was uncertain.
If cut down, the army will lose the entire right wing
"Woo--woo--woo!" The horn whimpered, over and over again, like a ghost's desperate cry, but there was no response from the military direction. The battle had entered a white-hot state, and hundreds of thousands of people were shouting at the critical moment of life and death.
The cry is enough to drown out all other sounds
After a few breaths, Li Zixiong’s flag approached the core of the right wing
"Ask for help, ask General Yuwen for help!" Zhang Jin's roar was full of despair. In desperation, he sent out all the messengers around him, "Tell General Yuwenshu, I can only guard half a stick of incense here."
Time!" At the moment when the last messenger stepped on the horse, he took the Changshan from the soldiers.
"General, General, the right wing, the right wing seems to be in danger!" Someone finally noticed the seriousness of the situation and loudly reported to Yu Wenshu.
"Contact with the horn and ask generals Zhang and Zhao if they can withstand it!" Yu Wenshu frowned and ordered.
The rebels were able to attack their right wing. This was something Yu Wenshu had not expected. But he did not believe that the right wing with two guardsmen, numbering more than 80,000, could not stop an attack by the rebels. In addition to acting as a rear guard, the level of training
The worst Xiongwu camp, he has pushed all the troops to the front. As long as his left wing and the central army work together to eat the more than 20,000 bandits left by Li Zixiong in the center of the battlefield, the Sui army can form a circle end to end and form a circle.
The rebels under Li Zixiong were completely wrapped in the center
This is a perfect plan. There is no need for the right-wing troops to defeat the main force of the rebels alone. They only need to withstand it. In terms of retreating ten thousand steps, as long as they do not collapse too early, they can persist until the remaining two hundred thousand brothers defeat the twenty thousand rebels in the center of the battlefield.
If the army is destroyed, the mission will be completed
"The right wing is too chaotic and there is no response!" the flag officer responsible for contacting all troops on the battlefield reported loudly
"Ask the brothers on the leather cart how to order the other brothers to speed up the attack based on the specific situation!" Yu Wenshu's eyes flashed fiercely, and his low voice sounded like a snake hissing.
In Yu Wenshu's original idea, the 20,000 people Li Zixiong left in the center of the battlefield were 20,000 death row prisoners with their hands tied. All the officers and soldiers needed to do was to rush up and chop off their heads. However, the battlefield
The strength of the rebels in the central government was beyond his expectation. These people who shouted "Don't go to Liaodong" actually refused to retreat even half a step in the face of officers and soldiers ten times their own. They seemed not to be afraid of death at all, or in other words,
Death is a kind of relief for most of them
The lookout on the leather car passed down the latest situation with a signal flag. The meaning expressed was very clear, but the flag officer beside Yu Wenshu turned pale in an instant. "General, the right wing, the right wing seems to not support it."
After staying at the front, the general who came to protect the children asked if the brothers from all walks of life could be asked to retreat so that the naval archers can play a greater role?"
"Nonsense!" Yu Wenshu raised his hand and gave the flag officer a hug. He jumped off the horse and rushed towards the leather chariot not far away. "Even if there are 80,000 pigs on the battlefield for Li Zixiong to kill, he will still have to kill them."
Two hours!" He didn't believe the information sent back by the lookout. He wanted to see clearly the enemy's situation in person. The other party was just a group of farmers who had just raised their heads from the fields. What reason did they have to be enemies of the government and the army?
He jumped on the carriage and climbed up the ladder to the lookout. Yu Wenshu pushed the lookout hand to a corner and personally checked the battlefield situation. He saw that less than one-third of his right-wing troops were left, and the bandits were like locusts.
Pushing forward along the large formation of the army, the number of officers and soldiers was twice that of the opponent. The officers and soldiers threw their weapons and shields to the enemy, and fled in all directions. The soldiers of Youyuwei were at the front, and the Youwuhou was chasing after Youyuwei.
, behind the soldiers of Marquis Youwu were chasing the bandits who had no armor and no luster on their weapons. Some of the bandits bent down while running. When they straightened up again, the weapons in their hands had already begun to emit cold light.
It was a long sword that had no effect in the hands of the army. After the rebels got it, they became even more powerful.
Yu Wenshu felt his eyes darken and his throat was so sweet that he felt so sick. He swallowed a mouthful of blood that rushed into his throat and pretended to be calm as he looked at the front of the army. "I just need you to hold on for half a minute."
Incense!" Yu Wenshu prayed in his heart, "In half a column of incense, as long as half a column of incense is enough, the brothers will be able to wipe out the 20,000 remnant soldiers in front, kill the old thief Li Zixiong from behind, and chop off his head!"
He comforted himself, hoping to protect his son, and Chen Leng and others could give him a satisfactory answer. However, the scene not far ahead once again made his eyes black. Twenty thousand, no, only the rebels who were in their early ten thousand were left.
Holding together in a group, they are like ants in the rapids under the attack of a ring ten times their size.
The officers and soldiers rushed forward with shouts, peeling off the inner layer of the outermost rebels. The rebels immediately raised their weapons and took the place of the dead robes. They stood shoulder to shoulder, back to back, and fled without panic.
They didn't kneel down and beg for mercy. Apart from the cry of "I'd rather die in Henan than go to Liaodong", they didn't even make any other noise. The only thing they used to express their anger was the wooden sticks and bamboo sticks in their hands, which were held flat and steady, with all the tips pointed towards them.
