Chapter 9 It’s hard to tell the difference between Xuan Qing and Xuan Qing
When Yuan Tan was engaged in a bitter battle with the Dongren's right wing, the Dongren on the front also began to beat drums and march forward. In the drizzle, the drums sounded duller, but also more depressed because of it. With the advance of the right wing army,
Closely, step by step, it feels like an ax blade is striking the rock.
Liu Bei stood in the main formation of the Chinese army and looked towards the east. However, the hazy rain and fog and the thickness of Cao Jun's line prevented him from gaining anything. He could only see Cao Jun's right wing pressing forward in an orderly manner. It seemed that there was no
Affected by the battle situation of the Chinese army, this made him anxious. He couldn't help but think over and over in his mind. Did Yuan Tan and the others break through the Chinese army, or encountered some other trouble? If the left wing pressed at the wrong time, it was very likely that
Put yourself in a dilemma.
Seeing that the right wing on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, and you could almost see the light from the top of their branches, Chen Gong stepped forward and said anxiously: "General, we can't wait any longer! Our army is fighting with its back to the water, and it is the cavalry. If we don't fight, we will
When the bandit army presses forward, shall we retreat into the river?"
Only then did Liu Bei wake up from a dream. On the battlefield, not all situations were under control, and time was the most precious treasure. He immediately shouted to his soldiers: "Chuan Bogui, Zhang Ji, Wen
Commander, all lead the charge. Those who behead Xia Houyuan will be rewarded with thousands of pieces of silk and the title of thousands of households!" After that, he was worried that Gongsun Zan would not obey the order, so he sent an envoy to specifically warn: "Bogui, although you are good, you are good.
Charge into the formation, but the current war situation is unclear, so it is not advisable to charge too deeply. You should follow Zhang Derong's response."
Then the left wing horn sounded, and the Western left army immediately rolled up smoke and rushed towards the Easterners like a yellow dragon. These people all knew the mission they shouldered, so they risked their lives and marched forward bravely, even if a volley of bullets were fired at them.
The platoon's arrows missed, and while they were dodging, no one messed up their formation. Instead, the horses in their hands seemed to be made of iron, crushing the Dongren like an iron mountain in the air.
Oncoming were Yu Jin's iron guards. They stood at the forefront of the Easterners. Everyone was wearing heavy armor, and they maintained their formation very strictly. At first glance, they were wearing the same red tasseled iron guard.
Stomach also has the same two slender beards, and behaves as if he is the same person, which gives Westerners a great sense of oppression. Some veterans who participated in the Battle of Chenggao said: "It seems that they are the Jing people of the Battle of Guangcheng."
Ah!"
But when the cavalry and the heavy-armored infantry of the East were about to get entangled, they clearly felt the difference between the two. Although Sun Jian's infantry had strict orders, the officers were also very flexible and knew how to temporarily change formations during the fight.
More killings. But the infantry in front of them was a little dull in tactics. They kept using crossbows and bows to drive away the cavalry. Although the arrows were like endless hail, it was frightening. But Wei Yan ordered the forward to change
Arranged horizontally, the team was divided into three long queues, which significantly reduced the casualties of his subordinates, and quickly approached the Eastern phalanx.
When Wei Yan's troops reached the Dong people, Gongsun Zan and Zhang Ji's cavalry also rushed over. It happened that most of the arrow feathers of the Dong army had been shot out, and the rain of arrows flying in the air gradually became thinner. This made the second
The Persian cavalry rushed up all of a sudden and rushed to the long forest of the infantry.
As a result, the long spears on the horses and the long halberds under the horses began to hit and stab at each other. The Western horses were crowded together at this time. Whenever the cavalry in front was about to lose its energy, the cavalry behind would follow up.
Catching up, the powerful impact force continued to tear the breach, helping the forwards to continue to attack forward. However, the cavalry was also a huge assassination target. When many Westerners stepped forward, the horses would step over the dead bodies from time to time. Some people's
, there are also mothers, some from our own side, and some from the enemy, but these are not enough to make them stop, but they continue to move forward as a matter of course.
Seeing that the war between the two sides had reached a stalemate, the Dongren's left army suddenly moved. Their infantry did not simply move forward, but tried to outflank the Chinese army and apparently cut off the Chinese army.
The idea of annihilating all the knights entering the battle made Liu Bei feel ridiculous. He said to the surrounding staff: "How dare you stop the cavalry with foot? Although my right army is not large, it is enough to cope with it."
After that, he ordered Zhang Fei and other generals of the right army to go out to fight. Thousands of cavalry dragged the smoke and went straight to the left wing of the Easterners. However, the next development was really unimaginable. When the Eastern left army was marching, they saw the Western Cavalry.
It turned out that the formation did not change, but the front line was slightly evacuated to the left and right, and hundreds of pack horses slowly walked out. Behind these pack horses were pulling carts carrying baggage. Before Zhang Fei arrived, they moved the carts sideways.
In front of the formation, a car formation several hundred feet long was formed.
This chariot formation almost silenced Zhang Fei's cavalry. Even the bravest cavalry might not be able to break through the chariot formation with the help of momentum. They could only temporarily rein in their horses and dismount to fight as infantry, but this meant that
, they gave up the excellent mobility of the cavalry, which made it difficult to quickly break through the Eastern front, let alone prevent the Chinese army from being outflanked.
And the most terrible thing is that when they regrouped, they were completely exposed to the arrow range of the Easterners. These carts were equipped with a large number of crossbows. The Easterners did not need to draw their bows and miss, they only needed to
Picking up and detonating the crossbow, the flat and fast crossbow arrows were like iron curtains, which caused great damage to the Western knights who came. People were slaughtered and shot like executions.
On the contrary, many people could not even utter a cry of pain and were nailed to the ground. Their blood gathered along the weeds and formed a pool of blood. The horses neighed and were overwhelmed.
Liu Bei, who was watching in the formation, saw Zhang Fei launch three charges and almost break through the car formation several times, but the Dongmen were pushed back. However, the left army still could not defeat the Dongren's right wing, which made him extremely anxious.
, and frequently had to confirm the situation of the Chinese army with the soldiers. However, with the two wings ineffective, the advantage of the Chinese army was gradually offset. It is also conceivable that soon, Taishi Ci's tribe, which was resisting the local left wing and the Chinese army, came to
They came to complain and said that they could no longer hold on. Although it was not stated clearly, everyone understood that this meant that the battle could no longer be won and asked Liu Bei to withdraw his troops.
Liu Bei was extremely angry. He cursed at the messenger: "Our army is fighting with its back to the water, just to risk life and death! How to withdraw? Taishi Ziyi wants to withdraw, so let him come to my tent, and I will chop off his head with my own hands."
!"
After the messenger staggered back, Liu Bei sat down again. Even though he was full of anger, he knew in his heart that just by looking at the demeanor of the soldiers around him, he knew that victory was impossible today. But how to retreat? Most of the horses in the army were defeated. They are all here. If we just retreat, won't we repeat the defeat in the Bohai Sea? Now we can neither advance nor retreat. We have once again fallen into a difficult decision-making dilemma.
At this time, Liu Xuan, who was standing by, was obviously thinking about this issue. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he advised: "General, how similar is today's battle to Wanshui's battle against Xu Rong? Can't we imitate it?"< / p>
These words awakened Liu Bei. During the Battle of Yuanshui, Xu Rong's right wing was scattered, his army was far inferior to his own, and he fought with his back against the mountain. It was very similar to today's situation. But it was obviously a dead end, but Xu Rong used his spirit to Riding through the middle formation, the whole army breaks out, and then goes around the water to return to the south. Isn't this the strategy we need right now?
After saying that, he immediately ordered Zhang Fei on the right to lead his troops back. The soldiers on the right immediately left the chariot formation as if they had received an amnesty, and retreated with arrows on their horses. They were not worried about the enemy's pursuit. Of course, these chariot formations were resisted by the Easterners. The cavalry is the best protection, but when the Western cavalry withdraws, it is also the biggest obstacle to the Easterners' pursuit. We can only watch them run into the distance.
When the two armies were about to join together, Liu Bei's troops were passing through the formations, blowing the horns of the attack back and forth. The remaining knights looked up and saw that the enemy's army was as vast as the sea. But you can also see that the coach's banner began to move forward slowly, slowly, then faster and faster, and finally galloped like a thunderbolt, followed by a cry like the earth was shattering.
Until then, those Cao Jun generals who thought they were sure of victory were shocked to discover that the most elite Jinyang cavalry had just joined the battlefield!
Shen Pei immediately gave a loud order to the generals: "Liu Bei has come to seek death. It is time for you to fight to the death! The marshal has an order. If Liu Bei can be captured and killed, ten thousand households can be sealed!" After the order was passed on, the people in the east became frightened. In order to be happy, they all shouted for battle, and the front line that was originally tightly clamped on Taishi Ci gradually relaxed and turned to meet the Jinyang cavalry who were reinforced from behind.
However, one side is for rewards, the other is for survival, one side is mostly infantry, and the other side is all cavalry. After the two sides collide fiercely, the result is self-evident. After just a moment of contact, Jinyang The cavalry easily tore apart the Eastern infantry line, and after scattering the stumps on the ground, they continued to sprint forward.
Liu Dai's cavalry troops came next. Liu Dai led 3,000 men to block Liu Bei's offensive from the flanks, but they ran into Zhang Fei's troops who had just withdrawn. Zhang Fei was full of food after the hard battle just now. Angry, when he saw Liu Dai's troops rushing to attack first, his pent-up anger suddenly poured out. He thought of a plan and used more than ten cavalry as a cover to charge towards the enemy. When he approached Liu Dai, he suddenly came out from the crowd with a sword and struck out. He stabbed Liu Dai to death and returned with his head chopped off. His troops were horrified when they saw this and immediately fled.
Liu Bei didn't know how long he had been rushing to kill. When the rain in the sky turned heavier, he suddenly felt that his whole body was soaked with sweat.
Although the sound of rain was getting louder and clearer, the weather was getting hotter and muggier. Seeing that there were no enemies around, and only hundreds of knights of the formation were left, he stopped, dismounted, took off his saddlebags, and got some air in the rain.
Liu Bei was obviously a little dehydrated. He grabbed Fazheng's arm and asked breathlessly: "What's the situation in each department?"
Both Android and Apple are available.】
Fazheng obviously couldn't see clearly either. He shook his head and said, "I can only wait here quietly."
Slowly, many staff and generals in the tent gathered towards him. They excitedly told him first: "The East bandits have been repulsed!"
Liu Bei remounted his horse and looked at the battle. The battlefield was filled with moisture and dust, like a red and yellow fog. Although sporadic sounds of fighting could still be heard, there was indeed no sign of a large group of people fighting. The people in the East saw that the people in the West had returned to one place.
, and he became the one with the back of water, and began to gradually retreat to the north.
