Chapter 1 Drumming (Part 7) Hundreds of war horses "collided" directly into the thin human wall, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. After breaking through the human wall, the officers and soldiers threw away the corpses on the long poles and accelerated forward again. No one could stop them.
On their way, the only thing the lack of training of the Wagang foreign army battalions can do in front of the officers and soldiers is to run away. As long as they hesitate for a moment, the cold tips will be revealed from their chests, ruthlessly
The horses' hooves will trample over their ribs
Fang Yanzao's hastily organized human wall was too thin and could not slow down the horses. He tried to gather the troops again, but the handsome flag shot down by Li Xu drifted away with the wind, and he refused to do so.
Then he conveyed those unorganized orders for him. Seeing that his command flag had been lowered, the surrounding troops became more and more at a loss. No one knew what abnormal situation had occurred in the Chinese army, and no one could come up with a perfect strategy. The enemy only had that
A small group of officers and soldiers, less than a fraction of theirs, is like a tiger among a flock of sheep, and an eagle dominates the flock of birds.
In the midst of the rush, the frightening black Teller gelding had already appeared near the bare flagpole. Asahi on horseback waved his hand neatly, and the flagpole as thick as a bowl came crashing down and followed closely.
He pointed at Fang Yanzao with the long black knife, and hundreds of cavalrymen straightened their swords as if they had a clear understanding of each other.
The four-foot spear is like a row of fangs of a hell demon, devouring all living creatures in front of it. Those who stand in the way of the cavalry attack will either be kicked away by the spear or trampled to death by the war horse. Fang Yan has no power to fight back.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zao did not dare to stay where he was and fight the cavalry. He shouted, turned his horse's head, and joined the ranks of the escapees. "You will die a hundred times without turning around!" When motivating the soldiers, he emphasized waiting for his turn countless times.
When he actually faced death, he found that being brave was not as easy as when he wrote the article. He beat his mount desperately, fearing that someone would stab him from behind, but the roar of the horse's hoofs never left his ears, as if all the enemy troops were chasing him.
The miserable cries of the endangered people kept coming to my ears. They were ordinary minions who had no mounts and were fleeing under the enemy's trap. They couldn't outrun the four-legged horses, so they had to accept the fate of being hunted. "Li Mi is dead, kill him."
Li Mi is dead!" Among the screams and groans, someone was shouting loudly. Fang Yanzao knew that it was a rumor. He had already put Pushan Gong Li Mi, who was unconscious due to injuries, on a carriage and quietly sent him in.
He captured the rear army led by Hao Xiaode, but he had no chance to stop and refute the rumors. The enemy might kill him at any time after clinging to his ponytail.
Chasing behind Fang Yanzao was Li Xu himself and more than a hundred light cavalry. If they increased their speed a little more, they could add a transparent hole to Fang Yanzao's body, but no one did that. The cavalry carefully controlled their speed.
, not allowing Fang Yanzao and others to stop and reorganize their troops, and to prevent them from being killed accidentally. While they stabbed and chopped down the exhausted minions, they followed Fang Yanzao with fear and panic.
The footsteps of Yan Zao and others spread fear and panic deeper into the enemy formation, which is a more deadly weapon. In the case of hitting more with less, they are more efficient in killing than Chang Shan. Many of the minions of the Wagang Army were killed by
Those who were pushed down by their companions were just because these people blocked the escape path of their companions. Countless pairs of big feet stepped on the bodies of the fallen people, without caring about the friendship they had had.
Luo Shixin led another group of cavalry and stirred back and forth in the mixed enemy formation. His attack did not have a very obvious purpose like that of Li Xu's troops, but was to expand the results at will. This approach made the fate of those he encountered more cruel.
, they were slaughtered almost without hesitation. Some people had dropped their weapons and gave up resisting. Luo Shixin's war horse still stepped on their chests without stopping for a moment.
There was no room for mercy for the general when the numbers were so disparate, not to mention that Luo Shixin was not known as a compassionate person. He stabbed left and right several times. Every time he stabbed one person to death, he would fall over.
He didn't forget to open his mouth and roar, as if he was counting how many lives he had taken today.
The rain that had been brewing for several hours finally started to fall, and the lightning and thunder intensified the horrific scene on the battlefield. The red blood was poured by the rain, dissolved quickly, and then merged with the red rain to form a stream, dyeing the entire river red.
The river is rolling under the light of lightning, flowing into the distance. In the distance is the once peaceful and prosperous Sui Dynasty, swaying in the wind and rain accompanied by thunder and the neighing of horses.
On the entire battlefield, the only thing that didn't move was the Wagang Nei Army. After several attempts to rush into the core of the battlefield to reverse the defeat failed, Cheng Zhijie ordered his brothers to stop the rescue operation. They no longer cared about the life or death of others, but lined up in a square.
Formation, standing like a rock on the "tile hill" outside the battlefield, another battle flag with the name of this soldier and horse was held stubbornly in the air, no matter how fierce the wind and rain were, it could not be knocked down.
"Blow the trumpet and ask all battalions to come closer to me!" Looking coldly at the killing field ahead, Cheng Zhijie shouted an order. This was an absolutely arrogant order. As a battalion general rather than the command core of the entire team, he
He has no right to command other armies at all. Once this order is issued, no matter whether it is correct or not, I am afraid that he will not end up with a good result. "Seize power before the battle and disrupt the morale of the army!" These eight words were suppressed after being sorted out by thoughtful people, which is enough to make
He was ruined
"General Cheng!" Flag Officer Jia Wenbin reminded in a low voice, and then looked at Xie Yingden as if asking for help. He hoped that the other party could work with him to stop Cheng Zhijie's recklessness. At this moment, the entire army was defeated, and only the inner camp retreated.
Afterwards, Cheng Zhijie only had merits but no merits. He seized the command in order to stabilize the rout. Cheng Zhijie only had faults but no faults afterwards.
"Send the order!" Xie Yingdeng's answer, which was always known for his rationality, made Jia Wenbin even more disappointed. As if he had seen through the opponent's mind, the latter simply took the order flag from Jia Yunbin's hand and quickly waved it back and forth in the wind and rain.
"Woo--Woo-Woo!" The high-pitched trumpet sound suddenly sounded, overwhelming all the wind and thunder in the sky. "Wagang!" A bolt of lightning struck through the sky, making the big characters on the flag more clear. In order to make it clearer
Everyone saw it clearly, Cheng Zhijie simply ordered his soldiers to hook the other two corners of the flag with long hooks. "Wagang!" The big raindrops hit the green flag, making a thumping sound, which also made the black
Handwriting becomes more distinct
This is the real Wagang Army. In an instant, both the enemy and us on the battlefield seemed to wake up. Li Gongyi, Meng Rang, Hao Xiaode and others took the battalions that had separated from the Chinese army and quickly moved towards the inner army. Those who lost their backbone and fled in all directions
, also suddenly found the direction, crying and rushing towards the strong and safe phalanx.
"Erect the shield!" After replacing the long-defunct command core, Cheng Zhijie once again ordered the soldiers standing in the first row of the phalanx to quickly take a few steps forward, squat down, and erect a huge wooden shield as tall as a person in the mud.
The ground was very slippery, making it difficult for the shield to stand upright. They used their bodies to form another oblique angle to support the shield.
"Raise the spear!" Cheng Zhijie rode his horse to the front of the shield, raised the long spear high, raised thousands of hardwood spears from the team, stepped forward, and placed them on a hardwood and steel pole directly above the shield.
The hedgehog's shape was finalized instantly, and Cheng Zhijie nodded proudly, "Yingdeng, you come to command the personal troops, follow me!"
No one doubted his order anymore. The remaining forty or so cavalry bypassed the army from the flanks and gathered around him, forming a small diamond-shaped formation. Zhijie led the group of cavalry and ran forward a few steps, and was about to meet the fleeing army.
The moment the defeated soldiers came into contact, he suddenly threw the long stick out and stuck it heavily on the ground.
"Disperse, and gather those who disobey the order behind the formation from both sides, and kill them!" This order was given to the rushing soldiers, but it obviously had no effect. The few people who fled at the front were just stunned, and then
They quickly ran past the long branch and they would be safe in twenty steps. The phalanx was close at hand. However, they never lost the chance to reach their destination. An ax whizzed through the rain and chopped off the heads of the refugees on the spot.
Down
"Crack!" A bolt of lightning flew from the sky, illuminating Cheng Zhijie's devilish face. Blood flowed downwards along the ax in his hand. Not far from the feet of the war horse, there were several unbearable human heads. "They passed by both sides and gathered behind the formation.
Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" With his red eyes glaring, Cheng Zhijie shouted that the diamond array behind him suddenly activated, not to attack the enemy, but to attack sideways the defeated troops who had no time to stop.
The sword flashed, and dozens of defeated soldiers were chopped down on the spot. The cavalry pushed them more than twenty steps, then quickly turned around and pushed the defeated soldiers on the other side. All the defeated soldiers were stunned. Unexpectedly, they had always laughed.
General Cheng was so ruthless when he killed his own men. They stopped suddenly, and then separated like a torrent with Cheng Zhijie's Changshan as the center, bypassing the square formation, and fled to the position designated by Jia Wenbin and others.
Amidst the lightning and thunder, Cheng Zhijie returned to the front of the military formation with an ax in one hand. His usual long stick was inserted in front of him. No one dared to cross it.
Wu Heitai, who had just woken up from a coma, was supported by several soldiers and ran over. He looked at Cheng Zhijie with admiration, resolutely threw away the soldiers, and stood under the opponent's horse.
Zhang Liang also ran over with disheveled hair. His horse had been hacked to death at some point, and there was a big gash on his shoulder. Blood was dripping out. "Mi Gong is still alive!" he saw Cheng Zhijie and Wu Heitai.
, he said something aimlessly and then turned around, leading hundreds of defeated soldiers around to the two wings.
Niu Jinda, Yang Defang, Zheng Detao and other trusted generals under Li Mi also fled quickly. When they saw Cheng Zhijie holding the sky alone, the anger and panic on their faces instantly turned into admiration. These people were veterans on the battlefield and knew what to do at this time.
Everyone stopped and assisted Cheng Zhijie to disperse and guide the defeated troops so as not to give the enemy more opportunities to take advantage of them.
"Heizi, leave this to you!" Cheng Zhijie looked into the distance and ordered
Fang Yanzao and others were still running away, while Li Xu was chasing him further away. Luo Shixin also abandoned the defeated soldiers around him, gathered his troops and horses, adjusted his queue, and prepared to start a new round of killing.
Lend me an ax!" Wu Heita stretched out his hand towards Cheng Zhijie, who handed him the bloody short ax in his hand, then resolutely pulled up the ax beside him and faced the flood with more than forty guards.
The coming officers and soldiers
Drunkard's Note: I see readers doubting the combat effectiveness of the Wagang Army. According to historical records, the Wagang Army was defeated by Zhang Xutuo more than 30 times in a row, and only in the last battle did he use a trick to kill him. At that time, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin
In the absence of all of them, Zhang Xutuo rushed into the siege four times to rescue his subordinates, but died of exhaustion.
