The red sun was rising slowly, and the originally cool morning gradually became a bit hot. The officers and soldiers filed out of the three city gates with increasingly murderous auras on their bodies.
Chang Yu, wearing battle armor and holding a long sword, was so majestic that the king beside him couldn't help but secretly look at him, muttering in his heart, apart from other things, few people can match this aura.
"Wang Deren, do you still remember what I promised you?" During the march, Chang Yu had less communication with the king's body, but he and his subordinates pulled Wang Zamao for a while.
Wang Zamao was very excited. He thought that the young eunuch was looking down on him when he crossed the river and demolished the bridge, but he didn't expect that he was still concerned about him, especially talking to him in front of all the soldiers. He was simply too polite and arrogant.
"Of course you remember, you kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!" Wang Zamao chuckled.
Chang Yu spread his hand and patted his back with a long knife: "Today is the time for you to make a contribution. As long as you defeat Bai Wang, I will allow you to be promoted to the third level!"
"Thank you for your support, sir!" If Wang Zamao hadn't been on the horse, he would have knelt down immediately, clasping his hands into fists and feeling overwhelmed with excitement. Several confidants around him were also beaming and could not hide their joy.
On the other hand, Wang Tizhong was still talking to Tu Yuan and others from the front, as if he didn't hear what was said at all.
After walking for three or four miles, you can vaguely see a large formation of bandit troops, stretching from the foot of the mountain to the riverside from east to west, with infantry in the middle and cavalry on the wings. Although they can't be seen as menacing, they are still full of murderous intent. The officers and soldiers suddenly felt pressured and began to feel...
When he became nervous, even Chang Yu narrowed his eyes and looked more solemn.
Chang Yu has never underestimated Bai Wang, or he has never underestimated any opponent. Strategically, he despises his opponents, but tactically, he must pay attention to them. Bai Wang can still be alive and kicking under Zuo Liangyu's tens of thousands of troops who have been encircling and suppressing them for several years.
Even the branches and leaves are blooming and flourishing, which shows that it is a very powerful opponent.
Since he sent troops to Nanjing, he has been playing house with his subordinates. Now he is finally going to fight with this big boss behind the scenes. To be honest, he is also a little nervous.
Nervousness is an inevitable emotion before every battle. Everyone has it, and Chang Yu is no exception! However, the impact of this emotion on him is almost negligible, and it can even transform into another emotion, excitement!
Chang Chang gradually became excited as he got closer and closer to the enemy formation. He was warlike and bloodthirsty! The hand holding the long knife got closer and closer. The king beside him suddenly seemed to feel something. He glanced sideways at Chang Yu and suddenly gasped.
A breath of cold air, such a powerful murderous aura!
The two armies were facing each other at a distance of a few miles. The few cavalrymen of Lieutenant General Wang Ti were at the forefront. These cavalrymen each raised their bows and arrows. They would rush over as soon as he gave the order. As for the little eunuch and his three Dongchang guards combined, there were
There were more than a thousand cavalry, but Wang Tizhong knew that the little eunuch would not throw it into the battlefield at the beginning of the war between the two armies, because the moment when the two armies met was the most tragic moment with the heaviest losses, so the little eunuch could only wait for him to rush over and block the most tragic attack.
After the first wave, the three guards of Dongchang will participate in the battle, and they will only watch and cheer, and will not intervene unless they are defeated.
The reason is simple
He wants his own certificate of voting!
The two armies faced off for about a moment, but there was no movement from the rebel army. Chang Yu turned his head and saw that the sun was already three o'clock in the sky. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, so he said to Wang Tizhong: "Let's do it!"
"Brothers, I won't say any more nonsense. Today is the day when we have made great achievements. We will capture and kill Bai Wang and grant him an official title! Kill him for me!" There was a roar in the king's body, his subordinates howled, and thousands of people roared in unison.
, the sound spread for several miles, and then Wang Zamao led more than a thousand cavalry to go straight to the rebels and kill them! After that, thousands of infantrymen waved their steel knives and yelled, following the cavalry and sprinting behind them.
As soon as the officers and soldiers moved, the opposing bandits also rushed towards them with loud killing sounds. Chang Yu sneered, and the flag bearer beside him waved the command flag. Wu Sangui and Ma Ke on the east and west wings immediately led their cavalry to outflank and kill them.
But at this moment, Chang Yu was shocked to realize that something was wrong. Although the central army of the rebel army had already fought, its two-winged cavalry did not move. This was something wrong. The existence of the two-winged cavalry was to assist the Chinese army in attacking.
He was already fighting with the officers and soldiers, and the two cavalry wings of his officers and soldiers also joined the battle, but they did not move. It was very strange.
Could it be possible... As soon as Chang Yu's thoughts moved, a strange scene happened on the battlefield ahead.
The cavalry led by Wang Zamao and the rebels started firing arrows at each other fifty steps apart. In the blink of an eye, many cavalry were shot off their horses. Before they could take a breath, the two armies collided heavily. This was the most intense moment.
, was also the moment with the heaviest casualties. The enemy and we slashed at each other with swords, but within a few seconds the infantry followed, and the two armies started fighting crazily.
At the height of the intensity, the officers and soldiers were outflanked by two cavalry wings. Just as they were about to rush into the enemy formation, they suddenly screamed and screamed. The horses stumbled and threw the cavalry more than ten meters away.
Turn, the knights were either dead or wounded, and the entire cavalry formation was in chaos, but at this moment the rebel cavalry came roaring to kill!
Damn it! Chang Yu was furious. Only then did he realize that no wonder the bandit army had been waiting in formation early. It turned out that they had already arranged traps and tripping ropes!
No wonder the rebel cavalry didn't rush in but waited a moment, waiting for this moment!
"It's such a gloomy day." Seeing the cavalry on both wings flipping on their backs, the rebel cavalry took the opportunity to attack, and actually beat the world-famous frontier troops back continuously. This made the three guards of Dongchang look shocked and angry.
In fact, the battlefield here faces mountains to the east and rivers to the west, and there are infantry fighting in the middle. The space is too narrow for cavalry to fight. Chang Yu originally only used cavalry to sweep the formation on both wings. This was his best tactic, but Bai Wang took advantage of it.
, laid out the strategy on the battlefield in advance and defeated Wu Sangui and Ma Ke.
Although the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, it is extremely difficult to make a comeback once the opportunity is lost. The officers and soldiers on both sides of the cavalry fell into the trap. When the soldiers were on their backs, the rebels rushed over. They were unable to form an effective defense line for a while, and the rebels directly broke through the front line and killed them.
In the middle of the formation, the cavalry who rushed to fight were beaten to a desperate state.
But after all, Guan Ning's cavalry is the strongest cavalry of the Ming Dynasty that has experienced hundreds of battles. Although it suffered a loss and lost the opportunity to fight hastily, it was not beaten so hard that it couldn't lift its head. After a closer look, it was discovered that
The thief's dirty trick is not as simple as tripping the horse rope. It turns out that all the thief cavalry use long weapons, and there are also many infantry in the cavalry. The weapons in the hands of these infantry are all modified and specially used.
Come and deal with the cavalry's hook and sickle!
He chopped off human heads from above and chopped off horse legs from below. The coordination between infantry and cavalry was flawless. It seemed that Bai Wang had really worked hard to deal with the officers, soldiers and cavalry!
Chang Yu was furious in his heart. Seeing that the cavalry on both wings were tight but could not retreat, otherwise it would affect the overall situation and the battle would be defeated. So he hurriedly ordered Tu Yuan and Jia Waixiong to go to the east wing to support Wu Sangui, and then personally led his bodyguard to go with Lao Jiu's Black Wolf Camp.
Go to the west wing to reinforce Marco.
However, the battlefield is narrow and crowded with people, horses trampling on people, and congestion. It is unrealistic to rush for help quickly, and even if you arrive, you may not be able to rush to the front to fight with the thieves immediately. But if you rush to help late, you will be defeated.
You can't stop it even if you want to, you can't stop it even if you want to.
Fighting is like playing chess, if you make one move, you will lose everything!
Chang Yu had never suffered this kind of defeat on the battlefield. He had always been the one to trick others in the north, and I had never heard of anyone tricking him more. However, at this time, he was secretly stabbed by Bai Wang, and he was already filled with anger.
Seeing that the two wings were unable to rush for reinforcements, Chang Yu glanced at the battlefield and saw that in addition to the cavalry on the two wings retreating steadily, the middle army in the king's body was actually fighting with the rebels, and the rebel cavalry was fighting fiercely, and the cavalry of the officers and soldiers had no time to assist the infantry.
As a result, the infantry of the two armies were divided according to their abilities.
His own tactics were thoroughly understood by Bai Wang before he took advantage of the loophole. If nothing else comes, it may be difficult to reverse the situation of the battle. Once the cavalry wings of the officers and soldiers are repelled, the rebel cavalry will inevitably return to surround the king's body. Then
At that moment, he was exhausted. Chang Yu quickly turned his head and looked around. He saw that the Nanjing soldiers and horses led by Lu Daqi were behind him. Because the battlefield was narrow and he could not devote his troops to the battle, he could only watch from the sidelines. Seeing that the cavalry on both wings suffered a loss, he hurriedly intervened.
Not getting started.
"Urgent message to Lu Daqi that he should divide his troops into two groups and advance south along the river bank. Don't interfere with the cavalry and just advance south. The other group should go east and advance close to the mountain to get behind the rebel army!" Chang Yu had a plan in mind and then
