Chapter 14: The Celestial Desire for the Division has been set (2)
Zhu Mei’s envoy did not respond as soon as he returned.
Shao Shude had a discussion with Chen Cheng and others, and felt that things had changed. These two greedy warriors were still unwilling to give in and were too ambitious. So they decided not to wait any longer and began to mobilize their troops.
On the second day of November, more than 10,000 Yi Congjun came from the west and set up camp by the Wei River. The left wing and the auxiliary troops did not move, the right wing crossed the mountain capital, and the loyal and brave soldiers arrived in the middle army, preparing to attack the bandits together.
On the second day, the Jinglue Army arrived again and set up a large camp from east to west. At this point, more than 33,000 people from the Dingnan Army arrived, but Cheng Zongchu, who was stationed in Xianyang, stood still and did not know what he was planning.
Late that night, envoy Zhu Mei came to the camp again, and the two sides talked in secret for a long time.
Early on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the geese are flying in bursts. It seems to be a good day for fighting.
The gates of Zhu and Li's camp were opened wide, and all the armies filed out and arrayed themselves in the open space.
Seeing this, Shao Shude stopped talking nonsense and directly ordered the main force of the Tielin Army to come out and form a formation to fight!
Since Li Changfu is so straightforward, there is no point in being coy about it, so we might as well fight him, subdue and cripple him, and then we can talk about things later.
Zhu and Li combined a total of 3,000 troops and set up a moon-cropping formation outside the camp.
Tielin’s nine thousand troops and Hengshandu’s more than a thousand troops formed a wild goose formation. Iron cavalry troops and Zhongyongdu’s five thousand men were waiting in the rear formation, ready to go out at any time. The whole army had a total of fifteen thousand men.
At early morning, Shao Shude climbed onto the high platform and looked down at the entire battlefield.
The wild goose formation is familiar to me.
When I was in Tongzhou, I saw Zhu Wen play it once, and later I played it several times, and the offensive effectiveness was amazing. The Yanyue Formation put up by the opponent was obviously not a purely defensive posture, but a combination of offense and defense, and the defense was combined with the attack.
It's a fight to the death.
The exciting drumbeats soon sounded, and the eight stragglers acting as combatants slowly stepped forward, followed closely by Hengshandu's thousands of men in heavy armor, thirty steps apart.
Further behind, there are four battalions of soldiers from the Tielin Army, plus three hundred cavalry on each side.
Shao Shude followed at the end with his personal camp, middle camp of combat troops, cavalry troops, and auxiliary troops as the main force.
The war drums of the Chinese army were beating frequently, and the war drums of each formation responded. The red sun was gradually rising, and the army that was slowly approaching was like a dark forest. The two front formations were like giant pythons crawling out of the forest.
Fierce and vicious.
The three hundred warriors were all carefully selected warriors, and the formation was widely spread out. They were dressed in brown clothes and iron armor, holding swords, guns and bows. They were swaggering and full of dignity. They kept yelling and swearing along the way, and they seemed to be like Guo Qi.
What I learned from my brother-in-law made me look more heroic.
"Anyone who breaks into the bandit formation will be counted as the leader of the bandit group!" The leading lieutenant general encouraged his subordinates: "I have a humble life. In the past, I was dawdling in the Chalu army and was unwilling to fight to the death. Now the commander-in-chief rewards and punishes fairly.
Beauty, wealth, official position, all meritorious deeds will be rewarded. Even after death, there will be incense and incense offered as an offering. I'm afraid of a ball! Kill them!"
“Kill! Kill! Kill!” They were all a group of desperadoes, shouting one after another.
The enemy formation on the opposite side fired a dense rain of arrows. Even with the large shields in the front row guarding them, many people still fell, but this in turn inspired their ferocity and accelerated their speed. When they got close, the archers grabbed them.
He stepped forward and fired a wave of arrows. The rhythm was just right. It was just when the enemy formation had finished firing a round of arrows. Then, everyone shouted and surged up like a tide.
The battle front does not have a dense formation, and the number of people is not large. The purpose is to disrupt the enemy's rhythm, make their formation scattered, and create opportunities for the heavily armored spearmen to break in later.
They are the first-class warriors in the army. They are also the group with the highest casualty rate, and they are promoted very quickly. Nowadays, many team leaders and officers at the rank of deputy general are from the front line.
"Kill!" The warriors stepped over the corpses of both the enemy and ours, used their large shields to push away the dense spears, then pulled out various instruments from their waists and rushed forward with all their strength. At this time, they did not care about the greetings at all.
When he saw the enemy's weapon on his body, he only focused on moving forward to kill him. He was completely in a posture of dying with the enemy.
Li Changfu's expression changed somewhat as he watched from the high platform. He knew that the warriors were elite, but such ferocity was rare. Hearing that barbarians are not afraid of death, how many desperadoes did Shao Shude recruit in the grasslands and Hengshan?
"The warriors of the Han people have already rushed into the enemy camp. The descendants of King Mi Yao must not be embarrassed!" Wu Zang Du Bao, the ten generals of Hengshan Du, held a long-handled Mo Dao and pushed away the shield hand in front of him.
He yelled: "Kill me!"
More than a thousand heavily armored warriors were carrying arrows, following closely behind the battle front, and rushed toward the enemy's front line, which had been thrown into chaos.
“Kill!” A spear pierced the enemy’s chest and abdomen, and blood flowed all over the ground.
“Kill!” A spear was struck, and the body that was halfway forward fell to the ground.
This is the most primitive and fierce fighting, without any tricks. People on both sides are facing each other, guns against guns. What is competing is bravery and will.
The first formation was dispersed, and the second formation was also disrupted! On the high platform, Li Changfu's heart was bleeding.
Less than three years ago, the Fengxiang Army dared to charge directly into the formation of the Nest Thieves with incomparable bravery. After reducing some of the rewards, morale has dropped to the current level. The battle front of the Difficult Army has just retreated, and the second formation of elite heavy armored infantry
The soldiers had just entered the battlefield without any injuries. As a result, the first wave of 500 people collapsed, and the second wave looked shaky again. How could it be like this?
On the high platform on the other side, Zhu Mei also stared intently at the confrontation between the two sides.
He could see that there was not much difference in the skills of the two armies. Perhaps the enemy army was slightly better. He heard that they conducted exercises every three days, so this factor should be included, but it was not the main reason.
What really kept them moving forward was their high morale and their courage to not fear death.
Fighting requires courage! Why is the army in trouble not afraid of death? As a warrior, he knows what to do.
There are many people in the world who are not afraid of death, but they all want to sell them at a good price.
Shao Shude should have made them feel that they got a good price, so they were willing to fight and kill. He had a hunch that if Li Changfu was defeated today and Fengxiang Army was captured by Shao Shude, the surrendered troops would only need to spend time reorganizing. A year later, you
Look again, he is also brave and not afraid of death.
We are not afraid of death, but we are afraid that it will not be worth it!
“Puff! Puff!” The sound of spears being inserted into the abdomen kept ringing, and people on both sides continued to fall. The grass was already muddy, corpses were scattered everywhere, and pools of blood could be seen everywhere.
A huge dent was made in the middle of the Fengxiang Army's second formation. When they saw that there were more people in the opponent's rear formation moving forward in neat lines, some people fought and retreated. In the end, the first few rows were completely crowded.
Together.
This second wave is only a hair away from collapse.
Shao Shude could also see clearly from the rear. The enemy's confrontation was unfavorable and they retreated step by step. The platoons were compressed to the extreme. If they retreated any further, the formation would collapse. And the damage to morale caused by two formations being defeated in a row cannot be underestimated.
Yes, Li Changfu must adjust his formation.
Sure enough, just when he had this idea, Fengxiang Town's central army waved their flags one after another, and the two formations diagonally behind each had thousands of people slowly stepping forward. After walking fifty steps, they finished organizing their formations and began to draw teams.
, one group of 500 men continued to move forward, preparing to engage the soldiers of the fourth battalion of the Tielin Army who were rushing forward, and the other group began to turn around and attack Hengshandu with their rifle bows.
The lineup of troops is very familiar, but you have no chance.
Shao Shude looked at Zhu Mei's Chinese army in the distance. His thousands of men were mainly deployed on the right wing and the rear. The right wing had just marched more than a hundred steps away from his main Chinese army, and at this time it had completely stopped.
He personally leads the first part of the show. After watching the show for so long, it’s time to make a choice, right?
Last night, Zhu Mei's envoy came late at night, telling him that he would defect and attack the Fengxiang Army. But now it seems that Zhu Mei still played a trick and actually watched the fight between the Fengxiang Army and the Dingnan Army for a while, confirming
After Feng Xiangjun couldn't stand it anymore, he decided to rebel.
This guy! If the Difficulty Army's charge is unfavorable and Fengxiang Army's formation cannot be attacked, won't you rebel?
He is indeed an old friend of Marshal Zhuge!
Li Changfu also noticed that the right wing had stopped at this time, and was furious.
Your own central army was in a hurry, wasn't it just to create opportunities for you to flank? But it actually stopped?
If we don't step up and attack the left flank of the Dingnan Army, the Chinese Army will be unable to withstand it!
There are still several battalions of soldiers from the Dingnan Army behind them, and they are advancing menacingly. They are forced to mobilize their troops and generals one after another, and they are already at a disadvantage. What is the Xingning Army doing?
Just as he was about to send someone to question Zhu Mei, he heard a noise coming from the rear formation, and it seemed that the formation was in chaos. Looking back, he saw the soldiers of the Xinning Army assisting the Fengxiang Army in the rear formation, and the cavalrymen were shooting arrows. At the same time, there were constant shouts.
The sound came, making his heart go straight to the bottom.
“Brothers of the Fengxiang Army, you are old and young, so why should you sacrifice your lives for Li Changfu?”
“We are all brothers in Guanneidao, and we don’t fight against our own family members!”
"Stop fighting! Let's go back to Chang'an together and divide Tian Lingzi's belongings! Marshal Shao of the Dingnan Army, Renyi, will definitely not make things difficult for you and others."
"The former army has been defeated, why don't you surrender?"
Li Changfu was so angry that he felt dizzy and about to fall. The generals and subordinates around him supported him one after another. Someone said anxiously: "Xin Ning's army has defected. It's urgent. Protect the commander and leave!"
"
Everyone helped Li Changfu off the high platform. At this time, the rear formation had completely collapsed, and the auxiliary soldiers were running around to avoid being killed by the Xinning army. The 700 Tubo cavalry brought from Qinzhou took a look
Something bad happened, so he immediately ordered his horse to go ahead. Hundreds of Fengxiang cavalrymen were originally planning to charge at Xing Ning's army and save the situation, but when they saw that their comrades were gone, they simply ran away.
"Xilulu..." The cavalrymen of the Dingnan Army led the horses out, jumped up, and rushed towards the retreating Fengxiang Town Central Army.
They were already overwhelmed by the infantry of the Dingnan Army and were in a state of utter confusion. At this time, the rear formation was in chaos, and news of the defection in front of the Xingning Army came. The morale of the central army in Fengxiang Town suddenly fell to the bottom. Knowing that this battle
Defeated, there is no hope of resistance.
Some people fought tooth and nail under the leadership of middle and lower-ranking officers, some went back to find the commander-in-chief Li Changfu, and some simply dispersed. The formation was no longer in formation, the army was no longer in the army, and the defeat was certain.
