Ever since Gu Junen participated in formulating the strategy of "suppressing the left", emergencies have occurred continuously. His wisdom and tactics are increasingly being seriously doubted by the superiors and subordinates of the Chuang Army. The status of the Marching Sima has reached a precarious level. Looking back, Junen finally seized the opportunity and
Show your reliable side.
Gu Junen selected a battlefield for the decisive battle with Zuozhen at the foot of Yingzi Mountain. The terrain where the Chuang Army was located was relatively flat. Only the terrain in front of the position was slightly undulating and there were a few slightly larger hills.
Li Laiheng was very satisfied with the terrain of this battlefield, because the soil here was relatively loose, and the soldiers could quickly dig considerable shallow trenches. The hills near the position could also be used as cover and obstacles for cavalry mobilization.
The weather was cold, but the hearts of the soldiers who broke into the army were all extremely hot. In order to delay the pace of Zuozhen's army and allow Miao Lichen's mine soldiers to complete the trenches and breastworks as soon as possible, Li Laiheng was determined to send an army first, regardless of the loss.
Cavalry troops conduct an assault.
This task naturally fell on Hao Yaoqi. As the number one general of the Huguang Army, he was the only one who could shoulder such an important task at such a critical moment.
The burly and frighteningly strong Hao Yaoqi, this upright man, raised the flag of the army with only one hand!
"Three walls, there is no way to retreat!"
The knights in red, white, and black smocks lined up in rows. Although they had not received personal training from Liu Fangliang, they had also mastered the three-wall tactic under the training of Li Laiheng and Hao Yaoqi.
Following Hao Yaoqi's order, the three-wall elite cavalry quickly transformed from a horizontal formation into a column.
The formation switching takes place almost in an instant, which makes people marvel at their strict discipline and excellent training.
"Three walls, if you advance, never retreat, if you destroy the formation, never advance!"
The slogan of the Three Walls Cavalry makes people's blood boil, and fighting spirit bursts from the chests of the soldiers.
Hao Yaoqi turned around and looked around. There were only a thousand cavalrymen, but they were arrayed behind a wall. There were many silver spears and red tassels fluttering in the wind like a long forest. It was like a formation of ten thousand cavalry!
"It's so fucking majestic! When we were in Zhuxi, the total number of rebels was only a thousand people, right? Today there are a thousand people on the three walls alone. Haha, Shangluo Mountain has survived, I
What else are you afraid of?
Even if I come to Shangluo Mountain again, I can still endure it!"
The knights of the three walls all reined in their reins, and thousands of horses stepped on their hooves, causing the earth to shake.
The Li Laiheng people were still riding on their horses, and they could feel this power, which was the energy transmitted through the earth. The power of the Chuang Army originated from the land, and fire and brilliance would naturally burst out on this land.
Since ancient times, in this land called China, only armies that have established a deep connection with the earth, and only armies based on the fields, can truly protect this country and this world.
Li Laiheng knew that if he used a thousand cavalry to attack Zuozhen's army, which numbered 20,000 people, there would be quite a lot of casualties.
This is destined to be a heavy and arduous task.
He raised his head and took a deep breath.
The cold air in late spring penetrated from the nose to the internal organs, making Li Laiheng tremble.
"Waving the flag, it's up to you."
Without saying much, Hao Yaoqi touched the back of his head with his palm as big as a cattail fan, showing a confident and simple smile.
He said nothing more. Although he was already regarded as a mighty general of the cavalry, Hao Yaoqi still brought up the jujube stick and rushed into the army. Li Laiheng's subordinates fell into the formation and broke the army. Apart from Hao Yaoqi, who else
comparable?
"Three Walls"
"Three Walls"
"Three Walls"
The cavalrymen lined up in columns shouted one after another. The sound of fighting on the three walls resounded throughout the fields...
Hao Yaoqi gently lifted the reins, and the war horse flew up with both hooves, followed by other cavalrymen who rushed up. The trampling sound of countless horse hooves almost shook Yingzi Mountain, like a storm, like a storm.
Flash flood, but more like molten iron made of steel.
In order to have a clear view of the battle, Li Laiheng stationed himself on a high hill with his personal soldiers. From a distance, he saw the three walls of cavalry quickly changing their formations, and the columns expanded into sharp wedge formations one after another, like sharp arrows.
Generally, it penetrates into the heart of Zuojun.
Hao Yaoqi is so brave!
He held the flag of the army in one hand and the jujube stick in the other hand. The heavy weapons and sticks seemed to be just toys or cotton in the hands of this little giant. They were so light that one could not feel the heaviness at all.
feel.
Hao Yaoqi rushed to the front, tearing apart Zuozhen's defense line, and then the three wall cavalry cut in in a highly dense formation. Although this kind of dense formation did not reach the level of wall charge, it was much more than that.
The traditional cavalry tactics.
The cavalry tactics that continued to develop towards the Phalanx were also historical breakthroughs. They were originally approaching and reaching the right direction.
"withstand!"
The vanguard general of the Left Army was Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li Guoying. He was a man who was good at defense. This time he met Hao Yaoqi, the most aggressive attacker in the Chuang Army, and they complemented each other.
Although Zuozhen's military discipline is corrupt, it is indeed a rare and powerful force among the official army.
Li Guoying very calmly organized the spearmen and sword players to form an array. These unruly "official thieves" were not afraid of the fierce charge of the three walls in order to seize the food in Suizhou City.
Based on the superior strength, Li Guoying quietly ordered the gunmen and archers to spread out to the two wings and shoot into the formation from the left and right directions. Although Hao Yaoqi was prepared, before the long-range firepower of the official army was in place, he fired
The cavalry were pulled out from the enemy formation, but dozens of them were still knocked off their horses.
"Surround around"
Li Guoying did not want to let Hao Yaoqi run away, so he personally pursued him with his servants, and the Zuozhen infantry also followed. But did Hao Yaoqi have any intention of withdrawing?
He just deliberately led the three-walled cavalry in a circle. What he wanted was for the left infantry to pursue. When the battle line loosened, Hao Yaoqi seized the fleeting opportunity. When the Zuozhen infantry turned to pursue, he led
The Three Walls Cavalry cut back again.
The formation of the intruder cavalry changed so quickly that it was beyond Li Guoying's expectation. Zuo Zhen's own infantry blocked the road. Even if Li Guoying wanted to bring his servants over for reinforcements, he could not catch up, so he had to watch the cavalry pass through the three walls.
After passing through the formation and killing countless left army infantry, they could reluctantly start the pursuit.
Zuo Liangyu, who was watching the battle with the Chinese army, was ashen-faced. Li Guoying had always been steady, but this vanguard battle was extremely ugly. How could such a huge military advantage allow Hao Yaoqi to set off a huge wave?
"Incompetent, trash!" The furious Zuo Liangyu threw the riding whip to the ground and said angrily, "Concentrate the cannons and fire them to kill the enemy!"
When the servants heard this order, they didn't know what to say. The army was fighting in front, and Hao Yaoqi galloped left and right. He had already been mixed up with the left army's own people. Now the cannon fire would definitely hurt both the enemy and us.
But they have served Zuo Liangyu for many years and know that he is a ruthless person who always speaks his mind. Therefore, no one explained or persuaded him. They just went down to deliver the order silently.
Li Guoying, who was supervising the battle on the front line, was about to mobilize his servants to attack in a roundabout way when he suddenly heard a few gunshots and his heart tightened. He thought it was a counterattack by the intruders, but then he discovered that it was actually a friendly army firing artillery.
The gunners of Zuozhen lit the cannon's fire door, and countless artillery pieces retreated back together. The fierce solid shells, accompanied by the roar and white smoke of the cannon firing, flew towards the fighting army.
The hit rate of the artillery shells is very low, but only a few rounds have caused huge shocks to both the enemy and our armies. Just one huge solid shell can penetrate the entire queue during the beating process, and can take away seven people in an instant.
The lives of eight or even a dozen people.
Hao Yaoqi knew that the impact of the three walls had been almost offset by Zuo Zhen. Although he was rough, his ability to organize cavalry on the battlefield was truly outstanding.
It’s no wonder that later generations of Nanming would greatly praise Hao Yaoqi’s “Quanyang Jiejie”.
"Follow me and rush out."
Hao Yaoqi wanted to break out of the siege, but Li Guoying also discovered the purpose of breaking into the army. Li Guoying didn't want to be beaten by his own people in vain without getting any benefits. He was determined to keep half of Hao Yaoqi's life.
.
Li Guoying's servants finally found a relatively spacious fighting position at this moment. Occasionally, there were a few indifferent friendly infantry blocking the front, but they were directly knocked away by them. These fierce servants included Mongolian soldiers and peasant soldiers.
The rebel generals and soldiers are all the result of Zuo Liangyu's years of recruitment and surrender.
Zuo Liangyu was able to be domineering and lawless because of an army that only listened to him and not to the court.
Now Zuo Zhen has even gambled on Tu Qi, his last servant, and his desire to win has become apparent.
Miao Lichen, who was working hard at the foot of Yingzi Mountain, prayed in his heart, hoping that Hao Yaoqi could hold Zuo Zhen off for a while longer.
Miao Lichen's miner soldiers are seizing all the time to dig trenches frantically.
But Zuo Liangyu is not stupid. The surprise attack by Hao Yaoqi, a small force of thousands of cavalry, is a bit strange. He slowly came to his senses and began to realize that this was Li Laiheng's delaying strategy, but Zuo Liangyu thought more about it.
The question is: Does Li Laiheng want strong men to cut off their arms and tails to survive?
