Along the left and right flanks of the left camp, Sun Zhuang used his horse to fight, and even picked and led to beat him. He overturned thirteen flying chariots, and with dozens of fine cavalry beside him, trampled the armored soldiers on the right and left flanks of the left camp and turned them upside down.
Watching the first few shield chariots rushing towards him at an angle to attack him, the horse lost its momentum and could not use its strength. Whether he could rush over or not was a matter of doubt. However, Sun Zhuang was so excited that he screamed and was about to move forward with the horse under his belly.
sudden.
Two of his cronies dismounted, held shields and swords to protect his horse. They held the reins to prevent Sun Zhuang from rushing forward desperately, and shouted: "Master Gan, if you don't rush up from behind, go diagonally..."
Sun Zhuang glanced back and realized that he was excited about killing. Except for the more than twenty cavalry who were following him, the large group of cavalry behind him were interspersed with the diagonal armored soldiers on both wings of the left camp formation to block the outside. They could not penetrate the formation and follow them in.
.
The left battalion of the Jiangdong Left Army was only able to loosen its right flank due to the heroic charge of him and a dozen of his followers, but the situation on the entire western battlefield was not favorable to them. If they broke out further, they would probably be trapped in the formation.
Not coming.
Sun Zhuang had no choice but to pull the horse's head and charge diagonally. He held the horse high and pulled it, and cooperated with the left and right to take the lead to open a channel for the formation. The arrows came whizzing, dinging or hitting the armor and falling.
There were also several arrows shot through the armor, but the blood all over his body was boiling with killing energy, and his flesh and blood were tense, but the bleeding was not serious. Hearing the thunderous shouts of killing, and flesh and blood flying in front of his eyes, Sun Zhuang could not feel any pain for the time being.
Sun Zhuang rushed out diagonally, then drew his horse to attack back in a roundabout way. He used his own cavalry to charge at the outer point on the right where the Jiangdong Left Army was engaging, hoping to open a gap from there and let more cavalry follow and charge in...
However, at this time, the cavalry did not have the speed advantage to rush into the formation. Anyone who could overturn a shield chariot with a spear and spear alone was brave enough. Apart from Sun Ganzi, how many of the 600 elite cavalrymen in the headquarters were there?
Zuo Ying strengthened the defense against Sun Zhuang alone. In addition to using shield chariots and high shields to restrict his movements, he also sent three or five good men with spears to pry his horses. The spears were more than one foot long, no longer than Sun Zhuang's.
On the horse, Zhuang made the horse's shaft slightly shorter, with a stainless steel spear head, and the densely stubbled bamboo branches spread out, entangled Sun Zhuang's horse's shaft at every turn, and some brave soldiers from Mo Dao fought with his cronies in front of the horse to open a hole.
Go kill the horse he dismounts from.
Sun Zhuang reluctantly rushed forward dozens of steps, but also felt weak. From the time he charged into the battle to now, he had changed three horses. When he got off this horse, he also had thin arrows stuck in the thin armor on both sides, and there were also several shooting arrows.
His thigh penetrated and then he ejaculated onto the horse.
At this time, the miscellaneous infantrymen who were retreating also rushed up to engage in the battle. However, he could not break through the formation of the Jiangdong Left Army even with his elite cavalry, and the miscellaneous infantrymen who were not fully armored were even less effective. Chen Hansan led his six elite troops.
More than a thousand people stood still. Sun Zhuang fucked Chen Hansan and his blind mother ten thousand times in his heart. Seeing the Jiangdong left army's formation slowly but firmly pushing forward, he had no choice but to take it back...
Ning Zechen waited for Sun Zhuang's courage to be frustrated, rolled up his flag, and a group of armored soldiers preparing for battle rushed toward the front flank of the refugee army, which was mixed with infantry and cavalry.
Sun Zhuang had a good plan before. He led the cavalry to attack forward, opened a gap, and allowed the infantry to follow slowly. If he could follow through the gap opened by the cavalry at the right time, he would kill the entire left camp array of the Jiangdong Left Army.
Complete chaos and defeat.
Sun Zhuang left no room for himself in his plan.
The elite cavalry of his headquarters were frustrated in front of the Jiangdong Left Army formation. They failed to successfully open a large enough gap and could only fight superficially. They also failed to adjust the following infantry in time. It can also be said that his rear
The miscellaneous pawns did not have a strong general. They just rushed up mechanically according to the established battle plan and mixed with the cavalry. They became a key factor in Sun Zhuang's defeat.
**********
Lin Fu and the others could see clearly from the watchtower that the infantry and cavalry of Sun Zhuang's army of refugees were mixed together, forming a complex array three miles in length and two miles in width. Ning Zechen sent sentry general Zhang Jiheng to lead the Mo Dao armor soldiers and the card armor soldiers.
, more than a hundred soldiers with spears and spears, attacked from the southwest corner of the refugee army array. Almost at the moment of contact, the southwest corner of the refugee army array was smashed to pieces.
Under the prepared rush of Jiangdong's left army, the pressure of the refugee army's array spread rapidly from the southwest corner to the central area. The spread of this pressure was as clear as the ripples in the lake when a stone fell. The entire southwest corner of the refugee army was almost
It becomes chaotic within a few dozen breaths!
Sun Zhuang was the vanguard of the refugee camp, Qu Shuai, and his troops were the elite of the refugee army. The Jiangdong Left Army was naturally also elite, but if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you can't understand that there are different levels between the elite and the elite.
Sun Zhuang was so brave that there were almost no Sanhe generals in the Jiangdong Left Army's Zuoying array. The people in the watchtower were so excited that they couldn't bear to see him killed. He rushed into the formation twice to challenge him.
There were nearly twenty shield chariots, and he was in front of him, killing or wounding more than twenty armored soldiers. He had no less than ten sharp arrows stuck in his body, and he was still full of energy while riding on the horse. But Sun Zhuang led a few elites to rush forward and beat them fiercely.
The chaos caused to the Jiangdong Zuo Army's Zuoying Jia soldiers was very limited. The chaos caused by the pressure almost stopped after only ten or twenty steps. It could not shake the Jiangdong Zuo Army's position - Jiangdong Zuo Army's and
The well-trained and excellent tactical accomplishments of the grassroots military attachés were fully realized at this time.
Only Lin Fu trained his elite troops to such an extreme level that even the brave generals who were invincible could eclipse him.
In contrast, the refugee army's flanks were hit hard, and the corner array was shattered. In a short time, chaos spread to the center of the array, and it collapsed almost instantly. There was really no suspense about the outcome of the battle.
Even though Chen Hansan still had 6,000 elite troops stationary, he only moved more than a thousand armored soldiers from the left camp in front of the stronghold. There were still nearly 2,000 armored soldiers and nearly a thousand cavalrymen preparing for battle and waiting for opportunities.
The auxiliary soldiers of the work camp sat motionless behind the wooden fence, seemingly not afraid of the blood on the battlefield...
Liu Tingzhou was shocked in his heart: How were the elite soldiers of the Jiangdong Left Army trained? At least at the moment when Sun Zhuang led more than 600 cavalry to launch a fierce charge, the momentum was shocking. Liu Tingzhou did not think that the left camp in front of the village could withstand the impact.
I didn't expect that not only could I hold it, but it would also be so easy.
Zhou Pu and others were not surprised.
At the beginning of three to five months after forming the army, the Jiangdong Left Army dared to fight against the Donglu cavalry in the field.
Although Fengli Camp had just carried out a large-scale expansion more than a month ago, the equipment, soldiers, training and the number of grassroots military attachés were better than when the army was formed. It could not withstand the cavalry attack of the refugee army. The four soldiers of the left camp in front of the village were
The chief and deputy battalion commanders, the twelve chief and deputy sentry generals, and the forty captains of the army could all go home and farm.
If a refugee army could have a brave general like Sun Zhuang, three or five of them, lead a small number of elites to attack the Zuoying array at the same time, there would be a chance of overwhelming the array here. However, if only one brave general like Sun Zhuang could be selected from ten thousand, who would dare to hope that he could?
Have three or five people at the same time and use it on a relatively narrow battlefield?
***********
Sun Zhuang was trapped in the rebel army, with only dozens of elite cavalry and trusted followers following him, but he was unable to turn the tide. He was forced to hold the reins in hand and follow the rebel soldiers to flee back.
Liu Tingzhou was so excited that he stroking his white beard and couldn't help but intervene in the battle, saying: "Send out the cavalry quickly, charge into the left pocket, make the soldiers more chaotic, crowd the three troops of Chen and Han, force them to retreat, and capture another one or two thousand
The first level is easy..."
What Liu Tingzhou said was true, but Lin Fu didn't listen to him. He sent someone to give an order to Ning Zechen, who was commanding in front of the stronghold: "Make the left camp in front of the stronghold stick to the front line and press the bandits on the west route to continue to retreat. If there is any resistance,
Those who are killed should be crushed, but they must not be scattered to pursue them; let the right battalion in front of the stronghold advance side by side, oppress the three troops of Chen and Han, and leave three to four hundred steps between the left and right battalions..." Then he said to Zhou Pu, "
You lead the cavalry battalion out, follow the left and right battalions, and don’t waste the fight if you don’t find an opportunity!"
"I know!" Zhou Pu wiped his mustache and asked his retinue to take his long sword and go down to the watchtower to lead the cavalry battalion into battle.
Except for one battalion of armored soldiers who were left as the final reserve, there were four battalions of infantry on the shore, and one battalion of cavalry was rolling forward slowly but firmly.
When they came to Huai'an, Lin Fu brought a battalion of cavalry, six hundred regular soldiers and four hundred auxiliary soldiers, a total of one thousand people.
The four hundred auxiliary soldiers were actually soldiers.
Horses are easy to come by, but war horses are hard to come by. Expanding the cavalry camp by two battalions of regular soldiers in a short period of time is Lin Fu's limit in Chongzhou.
In order to enhance the combat effectiveness or development potential of the cavalry camp, Lin Fu incorporated a high proportion of auxiliary soldiers into the cavalry camp.
He also selected excellent war horses weighing more than 700 kilograms, put on armor, and formed heavy horses.
Heavy cavalry has a strong impact, but it also has obvious shortcomings. First, the distance of sprinting before the battle is not long, and the ability to continue fighting is limited. Second, the momentum is blocked and lags behind. Armored cavalry wearing heavy armor can easily give the enemy three or five light soldiers.
Cooperate with stalking and killing.
When attacking the enemy's strong formation, the effect of heavy cavalry is obvious, but the heavy cavalry trained at high cost is easy to be consumed, which became a headache and hesitation problem for Lin Fu before arranging the heavy cavalry. Lin Fu finally decided to put the heavy cavalry in the queue.
Incorporate light armored sword and shield soldiers who can keep up with the impact of heavy cavalry in a short period of time to enhance the stagnant combat capability of the heavy cavalry queue.
The heavy cavalry at one sentry was incorporated into the light armored shield soldiers at two sentry posts. This formation was also the first time it was put on the battlefield to test the effect.
The cavalry camp led by Zhou Pu from the Muzha Wall actually consisted of one sentry of heavy cavalry, two sentry posts of light armored cavalry, and two sentry posts of light armored sword and shield soldiers. The light armored sword and shield soldiers and heavy cavalry were mixed together, moving slowly in the center, and the formation was stagnant.
The heavy and light armored cavalry took away the two wings of the protecting heavy cavalry, forming a light and easy formation. They followed the armored soldiers of the left and right battalions in the front and pushed forward. From the gap left in the middle, they spied on the three troops of Chen and Han, preparing to catch them.
If you get the chance, launch a fatal attack.
Chen Hansan was also at a loss at this time.
Chen Hansan did not lead his troops to attack after Sun Zhuang. He saw that Sun Zhuang's troops were defeated and the rebel army came in, which might even disturb the enemy's western flank. If he had led his troops to turn back immediately, the Jiangdong left army would
The cavalry will definitely stand out and cover them up, and there is still a large gap to the east for the cavalry of the Jiangdong Left Army to charge directly in depth.
Chen Hansan secretly scolded Sun Zhuang. These five rude and reckless men knew how to leave the open space in the east when they fled. Otherwise, Sun Zhuang's rebel army would cover behind him and block the pursuit of Jiangdong left army, and there would still be two or three miles.
At a safe distance, Chen Hansan turned around and returned to the camp in Shuyang South.
With the big gap to the east, it would be difficult for Chen Hansan to leave. If he holds his position, when Sun Zhuang's rebel army retreats from the west, the main force of Jiangdong's left army will come to stalk him----Chen Hansan
He had no determination to fight to the death with Jiangdong's left army here, so in the end he had no choice but to let his infantry retreat first, and he personally led two thousand cavalry to the rear.
Chen Hansan led his cavalry to retreat slightly to the east and spread out along the west bank of the Shushui River. He bit the bullet and suppressed the advance of the Jiangdong left army first, so that his infantry could keep a safe enough distance from the pursuing troops here.
