The four regiments of the Huben Army launched an attack on the Feng Army camp. Even when the charge was unfavorable, their attack power should not be underestimated.
A total of 40,000 horses advanced, the people shouted and the horses neighed, the roar was deafening, and even Jueqingshan seemed to be trembling.
Even if they could not clearly see the enemy's situation and could only hear the sounds, the Pingyuan Army officers could tell that the enemy had sent out a large number of troops this time. Both the generals and the ordinary soldiers began to become nervous at this time.
Wu Guang urged his horse to come to Xiao Muqing's side and said: "General Xiao, it seems that the enemy has dispatched the main force. Our army can also let the soldiers lying in ambush on both wings participate in the defense."
The reason why the Pingyuan Army chose Jueqingshan to start a decisive battle with the Huben Army was Xiao Muqing's careful consideration. First, there are a lot of gravels here, which can greatly limit the cavalry's charge. Secondly, the terrain here is open, which is convenient for large-scale legion operations. In addition,
, there are gentle slopes on both sides of the mountain road. Although there is no vegetation to cover it, there are many strange rocks on the mountain, which is suitable for ambush. When the Pingyuan Army just entered Jueqing Mountain, Xiao Muqing had already separated 20,000 soldiers to ambush on both sides of the mountain road.
On a gentle slope, once a confrontation begins with the enemy's main force, the 20,000 soldiers can attack the enemy from the left and right, forming a double-team with our own army.
It can be said that the 20,000 soldiers ambushed on the gentle slope are the trump card in Xiao Muqing's hand. He will never show it until the most critical moment. Listening to his voice now, it seems that the main force of the Tiger Army has been dispatched, but Jueqingshan is empty and the echo is worse than normal.
The situation is much bigger. Xiao Muqing is still not sure whether the opponent has really sent out the main force and whether there is any back-up plan behind him. If he hastily summons an ambush and scares away the main force of the Tiger Army, the gain will outweigh the loss. He said
He waved his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "Wait a little longer, and then make a decision after seeing the situation clearly!"
Wu Guang frowned and asked, wait? How long will it take? If the Tiger and Ben troops rush forward and start a close-quarters melee with their own soldiers, the ambush on both sides will be useless.
Seeing Wu Guang's concerns, Xiao Muqing said quietly: "I think with Nan Yan's personality, he would not send the entire army to fight so quickly."
It sounds like Xiao Muqing knows more about Nan Yan. Wu Guang knows the inside story. Xiao Muqing and Nan Yan have only met once, and they are not familiar with each other at all. But listening to what he said is so conclusive, Wu Guang can only
Choose to believe him. After all, until now, Xiao Muqing's calculations have never gone wrong.
The four regiments of the Huben Army rushed closer and closer, and the roar became louder and louder. People could even clearly feel the vibrations under their feet, and their faces became more solemn. While Xiao Muqing was patiently waiting, a figure flashed in front of him.
, one more person appeared out of thin air, Jiang Fan.
"General Xiao, the enemy has entered the range of our army!" The Pingyuan Army was able to determine the location of the Huben Army because of Jiang Fan, a dark spiritual cultivator who came and went without a trace in the dark night.
Xiao Muqing asked eagerly: "General Jiang, can you clearly see how many soldiers and horses the enemy has deployed?"
Jiang Fan shook his head. There were also many spiritual cultivators in the Huben Army. Their range of insight was very wide. He did not dare to get too close. Moreover, he did not have night eyes like Tang Yin, so he could not judge the enemy's position from a long distance.
Quantity. He said: "I can't see the exact number of troops, but I think there are quite a few."
Xiao Muqing nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, General Jiang. Our army's arrow array is still commanded by General Jiang this time."
Jiang Fan didn't say anything more. He took the reins from the soldiers below, climbed on his horse, and shouted loudly: "The whole army is ready to fire arrows!"
"Prepare to shoot arrows——"
"Prepare to shoot arrows——"
Following his words, the messengers conveyed his orders one after another. At the same time, the sound of bows and arrows being drawn was heard in the Pingyuan Army camp.
Jiang Fan took a deep breath, waved his hand forward, and shouted: "Fire the arrow within an arrow's range!"
"One arrow to the ground, release the arrow -" "One arrow to the ground, release the arrow -"
The messenger conveyed his order again. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a muffled buzzing sound in the Feng Army camp. Unfortunately, it was dark now and the specific situation could not be seen clearly. If it were during the day, people would have discovered that the people in the Feng Army camp were rising.
A group of dark clouds arose, soared into the air, drew an arc, and flew down towards the Tiger and Ben Army camp.
The Feng Army's arrow array was so dense that the Tiger Army, who was covered by the arrow array, could not withstand it even with their shields. After the arrow array passed, and then looked at the Tiger Army camp, more than a thousand horsemen were shot into hedgehogs.
There is almost no intact place up and down, it is completely covered with carved feathers.
Under such a dense array of arrows, people didn't even have time to scream.
Seeing the tragic death of their comrades in the front, the Tiger Army soldiers behind held a spear in one hand and a shield in the other hand above their heads. The generals of each regiment shouted at the top of their lungs: "Charge! The whole army charges! Charge through the wind army's arrow formation!"
"
The Tiger Army stepped on the corpses of their fallen brothers and continued to advance, but soon, the Feng Army's second round of arrow formation fell down again.
Buzz - The arrow array flew down from mid-air, making a enchanting scream. Immediately afterwards, the sound of arrows breaking armor resounded in the Tiger and Ben army camp. The cavalry who were still jumping and charging forward just now might be killed in the blink of an eye.
Covered in the rain of arrows, both men and horses perished.
"Fire at half an arrow's range! Fire arrows!" Jiang Fan kept adjusting the firing range of the entire army. In fact, like others, he could not clearly see the specific position of the enemy. Now he judged the enemy's position based entirely on experience and listening to the sound.
.
Jiang Fan was a top expert in using arrows, and his intuition was extremely accurate. Every round of Feng Jun's arrow formations landed accurately on the head of Huben Jun.
The Huben Army is also a battle-hardened cavalry regiment, but it has never fought such a tough battle. The four regiments pushed forward with great difficulty, stepping on the corpses of their comrades.
When the Huben Army could clearly see the Feng Army camp and the distance between the two sides was only twenty steps, more than half of the 40,000 Huben Army had been killed or injured.
The remaining officers and soldiers of the Huben Army were all red-eyed. After seeing the Feng Army camp, they felt as if they had been given a shot in the arm. People screamed and urged their horses to rush towards the Feng Army camp.
However, many Huben soldiers rushed faster and fell faster. They were not shot down by the wind army, but tripped by the gravel on the ground. When the cavalry charged, once they fell, they could not stand up again.
There is no need for the enemy in front to kill you, but your own soldiers rushing up from behind will trample you to pieces.
It can be said that the four regiments of the Huben Army barely rushed to the Feng Army camp at the cost of most of their casualties.
At a long distance, the Feng Army's arrow array was a terrible nightmare for the Tiger and Ben Army, but now at close range, the cavalry became a nightmare for the infantry.
The heavy shield bearers of the Feng Army had already propped up their shields and pushed them to the forefront of the camp, preparing to withstand the collision of the cavalry, but how could the galloping horses be stopped by human power?
Boom, boom, boom - with a burst of continuous collisions, the cavalry of the Tiger Army rushing in front slammed into the heavy shield of the Feng Army. Before the Tiger Army hit the shield, they were already in the Feng Army camp.
The protruding halberds and spears were pierced, but the inertia of the human and horse corpses was still there. The powerful impact forcefully smashed the arm bones of the Feng Army's shield-holding soldiers, and they flew backwards with shields on them, knocking them down.
There was a group of soldiers behind.
Before the people could even get up from the ground, the Tiger Army who followed them had already rushed forward and stabbed at them from top to bottom with their spears.
Thump, thump, thump!
The impact of the cavalry combined with his own strength, a spear thrust down with a force of more than a hundred kilograms, can easily penetrate the body of the Feng soldiers. Some of the vicious tiger soldiers, when the spear penetrated the body of the Feng soldiers, the tip of the spear had already
It penetrated deeply into the ground and could not be pulled out.
Under the close attack of the Huben Army, the Pingyuan Army, which was so powerful in combat, could not withstand it, and its formation was torn into pieces.
The two generals Jiang Fan and Wu Guang had already charged forward, using all their strength to kill the endless stream of Tiger and Ben troops.
The close combat between the two sides also officially began.
The battle between the two armies was bloody and brutal. The cavalry condescendingly chopped down the infantrymen like chopping vegetables. The Pingyuan army also took advantage of the disadvantageous factors of the Tiger Army's charge and pulled a large number of Huben soldiers off their horses and hacked them to death with random swords. The entire battlefield
, there were screams of soldiers from both sides everywhere, and there was blood spurting out everywhere. One after another, soulless corpses fell to the ground, stacked on top of each other, covering the ground of the battlefield.
During the fierce battle, although the cavalry had the advantage, there was a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides. One of the Huben troops died, while the Pingyuan army fell down and rushed up in a group. The nearly 20,000 Huben troops were constantly being beaten by the Pingyuan army in the fierce battle.
Cannibalizing, fighting to the end, has been divided into several pieces, and it is difficult to care about each other.
At this time, the Mo army spies had promptly reported the situation on the battlefield ahead to Nan Yan. The latter was overjoyed when he heard that, as long as his own soldiers came into contact with the enemy and prevented the Feng army from firing arrow formations, the battle would be easy to fight.
He made a prompt decision and ordered the entire army to charge, joining the four regiments fighting in the front and annihilating the Feng Army.
Under Nanyan's mobilization, the remaining four regiments of the Huben Army were also dispatched, preparing to join the battlefield between the two sides.
But when they were rushing towards the center of the battle between the two sides, suddenly, whistles sounded on both sides of the mountain road, and then, densely packed wind troops holding bows and arrows emerged from behind the boulders on the hillside. The wind troops were condescending on the hillside, aiming at the people below.
The Tiger and Ben troops started firing indiscriminately.
This sudden appearance of the wind army caught the Huben Army soldiers led by Nan Yan off guard. Without any precautions, countless Huben Army knights were hit by arrows and fell from their horses. Even Nan Yan, who was in the center of the army,
Yandu was almost hit by a stray arrow, but fortunately, Mo Jiang nearby protected him in time and deflected the flying arrows for him.
