It goes without saying that Cheng Yaojin's prestige in the army was great. The soldiers who had followed him for so many years had only taken advantage of him and never suffered any losses. They knew that their commander-in-chief was a "wisdom and courageous" figure, and he was very protective of his shortcomings, even if sometimes he had to risk his life.
Charge, but you can also get corresponding merits and pensions, so everyone works together to make sure everything is done.
Now, they followed Cheng Yaojin to retreat without a fight. Although everyone was not angry and did not think they could defeat Yuchi Gong's right guard, they also understood that Cheng Yaojin was thinking about everyone's lives and did not want too many casualties, so they fled all the way and retreated.
Rather than messy.
As a result, not far away, Cheng Yaojin wanted to kill another "returning gun". The soldiers were suddenly excited and their morale was high.
It can not only wash away the shame of running away without fighting, but also have the opportunity to gain meritorious service. Maybe running away without fighting this time will become a classic battle example, showing the true essence of "taking refuge" to the world. How can we not fight bravely to be the first?
Niu Jinda was also the bravest general of the three armies. He immediately gathered thousands of cavalry, turned their horses and charged back towards the way they came.
After crossing the Tuyuan Mountains, the scouts continuously reported back the battle situation of the right guard. When they heard that Liang Jianfang had dispersed Yu Chigong's front line and was trapped in a tight siege, Niu Jinda did not choose to go to the rescue, but led his troops straight to the right guard.
The location of Wei Zhongjun perfectly complies with the essence of "encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao" in the Art of War.
In this battle, Zuo Wuwei used "Thirty-Six Strategies" flexibly...
Thousands of cavalry kept moving towards the north at a constant speed. More and more news came back, confirming that the enemy's central army was several miles ahead. Niu Jinda pulled out the horse's hook from the victory hook and shouted: "My dear men,
Follow me to kill the enemy and make achievements!"
"Here!"
"Come on!"
The enemy was right in front of them, so there was no need to conserve their horse power. The cavalry instantly increased their horse speed to the limit and charged forward like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
After crossing a plain and passing through a mountain forest, thousands of cavalry rushed straight into the center of the right guard.
…
Looking at the cavalry galloping over the mountains and plains, and even the glimmering light of the blades could be clearly seen under the morning light, Yuchi Gong's eyes were about to burst.
Cheng Yaojin is a thief!
The two sides have already reached a tacit understanding. Their side will pretend to be attacking, while Cheng Yaojin's side will pretend to resist for a while and then flee. They will complete the mission of getting closer to Chang'an, and Cheng Yaojin will preserve his strength...Wouldn't everyone be happy if they get the best of both worlds?
?
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin was born in the year of the dog. When his front line was dispersed by Liang Jianfang, he suddenly turned around and killed a "returner". Especially, instead of rescuing Liang Jianfang, who was heavily besieged, he could reduce the risk of "escape without fighting".
Instead, he went straight to his own army... He wanted to capture him alive!
What a shame!
Watching Zuo Wuwei's soldiers rushing into the Chinese army's formation, the strong horses carried huge kinetic energy and smashed the formation into chaos. They waved their swords on horseback and slaughtered the soldiers under their command like chopping melons and vegetables. Yuchi Gong's hand
Holding the horse's hand, he roared angrily: "Follow me to kill the enemy!"
"Here!"
The soldiers around him responded with a loud voice and followed Yu Chigong's figure towards the enemy.
Yuchi Gong bravely led the three armies, his horses were galloping, and the horse's swords were picked, stabbed, swung or smashed, and cut a bloody path like a wave of water. However, Liang Jianfang suddenly charged with the advantage of the terrain and used the advantage of the cavalry to kill his front army.
They suffered heavy losses and finally mobilized their own cavalry to surround Liang Jianfang. The Chinese army was attacked by Zuowuwei cavalry again. They could only fight against the cavalry with infantry. In the blink of an eye, corpses were everywhere, screaming and screaming, which made Weichi feel distressed.
Gong trembled all over, and her anger burst out uncontrollably.
He was so ferocious that he even ignored the fact that the infantry was already behind him, and led hundreds of guardsmen to ride directly into the enemy's formation. He didn't care that he was trapped in a tight siege, and vowed to penetrate the enemy's formation and let out a breath of evil.
The killing made the Zuowu Guard cavalry howl in bursts, and they all fell off their horses wherever they passed.
Yuchi Gong was eager to kill. He had not been to the battlefield in person for many years. He charged forward with his horse flying in the air. There was no one in front of him. As he was charging through the enemy formation, he suddenly heard the sound of a bowstring.
Yu Chigong, who had experienced battle formations, subconsciously lowered his head. A cold arrow seemed to appear from the Jiuyou underworld. It suddenly appeared in front of him and hit the red tassel on his shoulder. Although it did not damage the vital part, it penetrated the armor.
Red tassels are flying.
Yuchi Gong was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat at first, and then became furious. He looked intently in the direction where the arrow had come from, and happened to see a burly and ugly general put down his long bow, picked up his horse, and patted his horse towards him.
He came to kill him.
It was Niu Jinda.
Cheng Yaojin's eyes immediately turned red, and the three armies shouted angrily: "How dare the dog thief kill me with cold arrows? You will die!"
He immediately mobilized his war horses, faced the bull and killed it.
Although Yuchi Gong was famous in the army and was the most brave in the world, Niu Jinda was not afraid at all. He rushed towards Yuchi Gong with a strong momentum and fought with Yuchi Gong.
The two horses are flying up and down, sometimes like poisonous dragons out of the sea, sometimes like a rainbow piercing the sun, sometimes sweeping thousands of troops, sometimes covering the top of Huashan Mountain, the two horses stagger back and forth, and the fierce battle is in full swing.
Niu Jinda is also a rare and powerful general among the Tang army. He has been fighting for many years without losing a single defeat. Even with Yuchi Gong's bravery, it is difficult to tell the winner for a while...
But the guard on the right side suffered a blow.
The cavalry in the army has been led by Su Jia to encircle and suppress Liang Jianfang. The fierce battle is currently unable to escape. Yuchi Gong is blocked by Niu Jinda. The originally aggressive morale is suddenly curbed. The disadvantage of the infantry against the cavalry is completely revealed. The left army that has just been suppressed
The armed guard cavalry took the opportunity to charge again, killing the right guard and leaving him dead and wounded, screaming in agony.
The sound of miserable howls reached Yuchi Gong's ears, making Yuchi Gong become more and more agitated, and his attacks naturally became more and more aggressive. Many times it was a lose-lose style of attack, and Niu Jinda was killed in a short time, leaving Niu Jinda in a state of embarrassment.
But after all, Niu Jinda is also a veteran who has been famous for a long time, and now in his late forties, he is at the peak of a general's energy, physical fitness, and experience. Although he only has the ability to parry and has no ability to fight back, he can barely resist Yu Chigong.
The fierce attack like a violent storm showed no sign of defeat.
The more Yuchi Gong fought, the more anxious he became. He knew that if he could not advance for a moment, and if he continued to fight and waited for Cheng Yaojin to lead the main force to come back and completely block his retreat, he would definitely suffer a tragic defeat, and he might die here today, so he quickly attacked
After attacking for a while, while Niu was busy blocking the left and right branches, he pulled away and left.
"The entire army withdraws to the camp on the west bank of Bashui, and is no longer willing to fight!"
Yuchi Gong roared, and started galloping towards the east, followed by his own soldiers, captains, and infantry. As the captain retreated, he sounded the gong representing retreat, and for a while, the gong sounded "clang, clang, clang, clang".
resounded throughout the battlefield.
Seeing Yuchi Gong's defeat, Niu Jinda took a few breaths and waved his hand to stop his cavalry from chasing after him: "Don't chase the poor enemy, just hold your position, don't underestimate the enemy and rush in!"
Under the hillock, Liang Jianfang, whose retreat was cut off by the right guard cavalry and tightly entangled by the infantry, was already red-eyed. His armor and stomach were soaked with blood. He couldn't tell whether it was the enemy's blood or his own blood.
, looking desperately at the densely packed right guard infantry around him, thinking that he was going to die here today, he suddenly felt that the pressure in front of him was relieved, and the enemy retreated like a tide without warning...
After smoothly killing an enemy soldier, Liang Jianfang calmed down and heard the sound of gongs that filled the entire battlefield.
"The enemy has retreated?"
"The enemy has retreated!"
Liang Jianfang looked at only half of the cavalry around him. He threw away the curled sword, reached down and pulled out a spear from a corpse, and hissed with red eyes: "Treat the seriously injured on the spot. For minor injuries, treat them on the spot."
Responsible for guarding, and the rest will follow me to kill the enemy!"
"Here!"
Liang Jianfang rode a scarred war horse, waving his spear and chasing the tail of the defeated army. However, after a deadly battle, he was already exhausted. After chasing for several miles, he was exhausted and had to stop to rest and watch helplessly.
The defeated troops fled eastwards like a tide.
Panting for air, Liang Jianfang ordered his scouts to explore around to find out the reason for the sudden collapse of the enemy army. After a moment, the scouts turned around and reported that Niu Jinda led the left guard cavalry to kill a "returning rifle" and had defeated the right guard center army.
Defeat Yuchi Gong and defeat the enemy...
Liang Jianfang didn't feel the joy of escaping, let alone the grace of saving his life. He asked with red eyes: "Where is Cheng Yaojin?"
The scout shook his head and said: "Currently, only Niu Jinda is in charge of the army, and there is no trace of Duke Lu."
Without saying much, Liang Jianfang let the scouts lead him straight to the gathering place of Zuowu Guard Cavalry. When he saw Niu Jinda from a distance, Liang Jianfang without saying a word, urged his horses to speed up, and charged towards him waving the spear in his hand.
The Zuowu guardsmen nearby suddenly saw someone charging into the formation. They quickly unsheathed their swords and strung their bows, ready to pierce the enemy's heart with random arrows and cut them into pieces with random blades.
Niu Jinda quickly stopped him: "Put down your weapons and don't fire arrows!"
Then he rode forward to meet him, but when he saw Liang Jianfang charging towards him, he just said, "General Liang might as well treat his wounds first," when Liang Jianfang stabbed him head-on.
Niu Jinda hurriedly reined in the reins and urged the horses to dodge, shouting: "General Liang, calm down. The enemy has retreated now. The general is trying to keep the defense line intact. It is a great achievement. You must not massacre Paoze, or you will suffer a terrible disaster!"
Liang Jianfang was awake now. After listening to Niu Jinda's words, how could he not understand this truth?
If he had died in the rebel formation, nothing would have happened. But now that the enemy had retreated, it was Liang Jianfang who risked his life to defend the defense line and thwarted the enemy's purpose of raiding Chang'an, which was a great contribution.
But this is not only not the credit given to him by Cheng Yaojin, but Cheng Yaojin almost killed him...
Although he was furious in his heart, he was not so angry that Niu Jinda swung his spear, roared, and asked sternly: "Where is Cheng Yaojin? I will fight him for three hundred rounds today. Either he dies or I die!"
