The horses' hooves stepped into the grass, causing smoke and dust to billow, and the two hundred cavalry charged forward. Although compared to the figures fighting in the firelight in front, these two hundred people looked a little thin and weak, but no one wavered.
.
It is said that the cavalry triangle formation created by Bai Qi, the most famous and ruthless general in the Warring States Period, appeared on this dark wasteland. All the cavalrymen raised their horses and stared closely at the approaching enemy.
Although there were only two hundred people, when eight hundred horses' hooves trampled the ground, and when the silhouettes of men and horses pierced the fire, it seemed that those who were charging were no longer two hundred people, but - thousands of troops!
"General, although these barbarians can't do anything to us, they occupy the slopes on both sides, especially the left slope near Jingshan Mountain. With their crossbows, it will not be easy for us to kill them for a while!"
A battle leader, with blood splattered on his face, quickly ran to Pei Zilie's side, his voice filled with anxiety.
Obviously, the anxious fighting on the front line also made this veteran war leader, who was not on the battlefield for the first time, lose his sense of proportion.
Pei Zilie frowned. He had expected that these Northern Zhou barbarians would be difficult to deal with. Why did Yuchi choose the best veterans and elites in the army when he let their light troops risk going around Jingshan to ambush Nanchen's reinforcements?
To carry out this mission, it is reasonable for the enemy to be difficult.
But the problem Pei Zilie has to face now is that even if the enemy has lost the opportunity, and even has to turn to defend under the pressure of Nanchen's army, as long as the hillsides on both sides of the road are still in their hands, Nanchen
There would be no way for the army to pass through the road.
"The crossbowmen are covering, don't mess up your position at this time!" Pei Zilie's voice was filled with worry, but he tried to calm down or even calm down. After all, once Pei Zilie himself was messed up, he really had no way to guarantee the rest.
The generals and soldiers were still able to calmly obey orders, "Guards!"
Hearing Pei Zilie's voice, the general in charge of the bodyguard behind him hurriedly took a step forward.
Pei Zilie pointed at his own right wing, which was stalemate on the battlefield, and the enemy's left wing: "Did you see that hillside is the steepest, and it is also the highest among the surrounding hillsides. In other words, as long as we can capture the hillside, we can win.
Overlooking the entire battlefield, and taking the opportunity to disrupt the enemy's left wing, this completely cut off their retreat path!"
After a pause, Pei Zilie raised the knife in his hand: "So, let's go!"
"General!" General Zhuang, who originally thought that Pei Zilie was just asking him to lead his personal guards to serve as the blade, suddenly became anxious.
Several battle leaders, soldiers and generals around also looked over in surprise and wanted to stop him. In their impression, although Pei Zilie was young, he was trained under Wu Mingche and had always been prudent in his military use. Why was this battle so uncharacteristic?
Has she changed her usual style of military use?
And Pei Zilie did not hesitate at all. The war will never change due to the general's military style. The enemy will definitely not always follow your command, especially when the enemy is a famous general like Yu Chijiong who has been tempered on the battlefield and emerged from the waves.
.
Therefore, if a general adheres to one style all the time, he will eventually be able to become the commander of a partial division, and it will even be difficult for him to lead an army on his own. Only if he knows how to be flexible, can size up the situation, and adapt to changes in the battlefield situation, can he truly be in charge.
When you reach this point, you can be called a famous general or a general.
Yuchijiong sent out troops this time, knowing that he was short of troops. If he pushed forward step by step, he would have received the news of the destruction of the Western Liang Dynasty before he reached Jiangling City. Therefore, he changed his old and prudent military style and sent out with light troops.
Mountain, just like the tactics used when young soldiers came out of Yinping Pass to pacify Shu, the soldiers made dangerous moves, naturally in order to gain the most precious time.
Pei Zilie asked himself that he could not change at any time, but he was also trying hard to make changes. Without paying attention to the surprised expressions of the generals around him, Pei Zilie said directly: "If we delay for a moment, there may be more people in Zhangshan County."
If one person dies, the city will no longer be able to defend itself. Aren't we, a lone army in the wilderness, the enemy's prey?"
As he spoke, Pei Zilie rushed forward quickly; "Follow me if you are not afraid of death!"
"If we can't break through the enemy's defense line, Zhangshan County will be lost. We will all die anyway. It's better to kill his mother now!" A soldier said cursingly, while the other captains and generals laughed and followed closely.
"General!" A general with a broken arm walked to Pei Zilie with the support of several soldiers, "General, these damn barbarians are killing too fiercely. My brothers rushed up three times, but they were forced to push me back.
Come down."
Pei Zilie subconsciously looked up and saw that the corpses of soldiers from the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Chen Dynasty were piled on top of each other on the entire hillside, and blood flowed freely along the ravines that had been washed out by the rain on the hillside.
The surrounding soldiers and generals all had tired looks on their faces, and many of them were injured. It was obvious that they had tried their best to capture this hillside. Another general's lips trembled slightly and he whispered: "General,
Brothers, we have been marching all the way. We are really tired. If we can let everyone rest..."
"No!" Pei Zilie said flatly. At this time, he had no more choices. He didn't know how long Zhangshan County could sustain it, let alone whether these soldiers would still have the fighting spirit and will to face this hillside full of corpses after taking a rest.
.
Pei Zilie knows this simple truth very well.
And Pei Zilie didn't know whether the enemies on the hillside would resist even more tenaciously after they had time to rest. Coming with light troops, these enemies were obviously prepared to die.
"Give it to me!" Pei Zilie stretched out his hand and snatched the dilapidated military flag from the hands of the somewhat discouraged general. The red flag was covered with specks of blood, and only half of the word "Chen" was left. But
The flag was still dancing in the night wind, gathering everyone's attention.
Pei Zilie gritted his teeth: "Brothers, the first one to rush up the hillside gets the first credit! You don't want the first credit, I want it!"
Before he finished speaking, he was already the first to rush upward.
Since we have already brought people to this place, we might as well take the lead in the charge. But Sikong, who was in Jiankang at this time, didn't know that the disciples and juniors he always regarded as stable would actually do such a thing.
How would you feel if you don't care about life or death?
"Charge!" All the battle leaders and generals had their eyes red.
It was their shame to let the general charge. If Pei Zilie was really allowed to charge up the hillside first, I'm afraid they would not be able to see anyone in the future!
