Chapter 4339 The battle situation reverses
Chai Zhewei was frightened and had an ominous premonition. He knew that he could not wait any longer. If the situation suddenly changed, he would most likely be unable to turn the tide. He immediately ordered: "The entire army must assemble and march to the Youtunwei camp to fight as originally planned." When implementing the plan, we must not underestimate the enemy and rush forward, and we must not compete for military glory. We must fight steadily and completely annihilate Youtun Wei!”
"Here!"
The generals and colonels on the left and right took the order in unison, and their morale was boosted.
The feud between the left and right guards has been going on for a long time. Everyone dislikes each other. They usually argue over baggage, weapons and even food. During the Guanlong Mutiny, the right guard defeated the left guard. In defeat, countless Zuotun guardsmen were wiped out under the salvo of artillery fire, and the rift between them had long since turned into mortal enmity.
Now Chai Zhewei is leading them to point their swords at the right guard, and the other side is in the midst of civil strife. They are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, so they are naturally gearing up and competing for the lead.
Tens of thousands of troops drove out of the military camp one after another according to the battle plan that had been formulated long ago. One by one, they braved the rain and dawn and rushed towards the Youtunwei camp like a tide.
Chai Lingwu, wearing a helmet and armor, was riding on a horse, holding a horse pole in his hand, and rushed in from the east side of the Youtunwei camp with the first group of vanguard troops. Although the force value is not high, and I have never gone into battle to kill the enemy, the advantage now lies in Zuotunwei. It is a good opportunity to get meritorious service from the army. Leading the army to charge for a while can win the meritorious service of "taking the lead" and "defeating the enemy for the first time". , why not?
Anyway, there are dozens of Chai family generals and guards around them, so there is no danger at all...
……
Li Daliang was covered in blood and took the lead. Although he was old, the sword flying up and down in his palm did not lose any of his vigor. He led his own generals and soldiers who were in charge of the counterattack all the way to the central army tent, but was met head-on. The charging Wang Fangyi led his troops to block it.
One side is eager to break into the opponent's central army and cause more chaos in order to create better opportunities for Zuo Tunwei to attack as soon as possible; one side vows to hold back the charging Li Daliang to stabilize the situation and be able to attack Zuo Tun Wei Maintain a complete array when the guard launches an attack...
Thousands of people fought to the death more than a hundred feet away from the Chinese army's tent. In just half an hour, corpses and blood flowed everywhere, and the casualties were extremely heavy.
Has Li Fengjie ever experienced such a tragic scene? Hiding at the end, trembling with his sword in hand, he kept using his own soldiers to dodge the enemy's attacks. Even though his father's figure in front of him was gradually being submerged by the enemy, he not only had no idea of rushing forward to fight alongside his father, but instead his eyes wandered. , looking for ways and opportunities to escape.
How could I die in battle outside the Xuanwu Gate when I was young and had a bright future?
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a troop rushing over from the edge of the western camp under the gray sky. The flag was fluttering in the light rain, and the momentum was overwhelming...
"It's coming! It's coming! The Zuotun Guard is coming! Everyone, hold on, our reinforcements are coming! Father, father, I'm here to help you!"
The ecstatic Li Fengjie danced on his back, shouting and cheering up the morale of the nearby soldiers. Suddenly he found that his father was trapped in a tight siege, and immediately led the soldiers on the left and right to form an array and rushed forward, trying to rescue his father.
Now that the reinforcements have arrived, the victory is determined and there is no need for him to run away. However, if he keeps hiding behind him, he will not only be laughed at by Pao Ze, but also face his father's wrath after the war. He can only step forward and look like he is desperate to die. ……
Gao Kan also received the news from the scouts and knew that the Zuotun guards had finally arrived. He immediately ordered: "The commander-in-chief has ordered us to defend the camp and not retreat even one step! The rebels have entered the Xuanwu Gate. We must block the Xuanwu Gate. Prevent the enemy from receiving reinforcements!”
"Here!"
Countless soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound shook the whole country.
"Form up and prepare the camp!"
Gao Kan yelled.
Even if the battle is fought to the last soldier, the Central Military Tent cannot be lost. There are countless firearms placed in the barracks behind the Central Military Tent. This is a way to deceive everyone in the government and the public for a long time. What is accumulated bit by bit is waiting to equip the troops at the critical moment and determine the outcome in one fell swoop.
Li Daliang, who was in the bloody battle, did not hear Li Fengjie's cry, but during the charge, he saw his son leading his team to rush up to rescue him, and his heart warmed: Good son!
He shouted: "Father and son go into battle. My son will help me. Let's defeat the enemy's formation!"
Li Fengjie almost yelled, "Father, are you stupid?" Now that Zuo Tunwei has arrived, we naturally have to leave the battlefield quickly, otherwise we may not have a chance to survive if we are caught in the chaos...
He shouted: "Father, retreat quickly, the Zuotun Guards are already here!"
Li Daliang's mind was clear. After hearing this, he quickly tried to retreat, at least to a safe distance so as not to be caught up in the charge of Zuo Tunwei.
But Wang Fangyi had already been eyeing him among the rebels, and regarded his head as the stepping stone to his career. Now that he saw Li Daliang trying to retreat, how could he let him do so?
With the spear in his hand, he stabbed and smashed it, and suddenly broke through the enemy's battle line in front of him, charging towards Li Daliang.
Li Daliang saw a young general charging towards him, but none of the soldiers in front of him were able to unite. He did not dare to retreat, so he could only fight forward with gritted teeth and swords. The two sides were entangled and fighting together, and the battle became increasingly fierce.
At this moment, a team of more than a hundred cavalrymen rushed into the camp from the other side of the camp like lightning. The sound of horse hooves trampling was like muffled thunder. Everyone was dumbfounded, and a huge arrow formation was formed during the march. , and bumped into Li Daliang's rear formation.
The leader is sitting astride a horse, with the horse in his palm flying up and down as if he is in an uninhabited land. He is dressed in mountain armor that is powerful and thick, and the horses are all covered with armor. It can be said that he is as powerful as a rainbow and invincible. He is standing in the rebel formation. He dug a bloody path and went straight to Li Daliang to kill him.
More than a hundred iron cavalry were guarding the two wings behind him, following closely, and the blood path he cut through widened. For a time, blood spattered all over the ground, and the remaining limbs were unstoppable.
Li Fengjie watched this scene helplessly, and almost lost his mind. If he hadn't rushed forward to meet his father just now, the position where he was at this moment would have been pierced by the cavalry, and he might have fallen off the horse and died on the spot...
He exclaimed: "Father, something bad is going on, leave quickly!"
After saying that, regardless of whether his father could get rid of Wang Fangyi's entanglement, he hit his horse and broke out in the direction of the Zuo Tun Guards from the east.
Li Daliang naturally saw this scene, and was startled by such an unparalleled momentum. He wanted to retreat after hearing Li Fengjie's warning, but at this moment Wang Fangyi saw reinforcements coming to disrupt the enemy's rear formation. How could he Are you willing to let Li Daliang escape? He became more and more desperate and rushed forward to fight, entangling Li Daliang tightly among the rebels.
In front of the Chinese army's tent, Gao Kan used the faint morning light to see such an unstoppable army rushing straight into the rebels' rear line and cutting a bloody path. How could he not guess who was coming?
Suddenly he became energetic and shouted: "Commander, come to the rescue, beat the drum to cheer!"
Boom, boom, boom! A burst of rapid war drums sounded in the camp, and every beat of the rapid drums seemed to hit people's hearts. The morale of the guards in Youtun was boosted and they became more brave. However, the faces of the soldiers who were instigated by Li Daliang changed drastically and they turned around and ran away. .
The reason why these people were instigated by Li Daliang to rebel was probably because they were from Guanlong or had various connections with Guanlong, and were coerced and induced by Li Daliang to betray Youtunwei. But the more important reason was that Youtunwei lacked cohesion. Fang Jun, the most prestigious, resigned from the post of general, and Gao Kan's prestige failed to convince the public. Li Daozong nominally took over Youtunwei, but after his initial attempt to deprive him of command failed, he let it go and stopped paying attention, causing the entire army to become disorganized.
But now Fang Jun is rushing in like a god. How can these traitors dare to confront Fang Jun?
I don’t know who shouted, and everyone dropped their weapons and ran away...
Li Daliang suddenly realized that he was trapped in a tight siege. The soldiers around him ran away in an instant. He was about to retreat without hesitation, but he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him like muffled thunder galloping towards him. He quickly turned around and saw a general. When the horse came close, the reins were released from under the horse's belly, and the horse leaped into the air with all four hooves, stabbing at him with the spurs in his palms.
Li Daliang hurriedly waved his weapon to fight, but unexpectedly, the opponent was using a feint. Ma Shan feinted and retracted it, then stabbed with a swing. The stick hit the dagger hard, and the iron dagger was knocked out with a "pop" force. There was a crack, and Li Daliang felt a loud "buzzing" sound as if his head was hit by a hammer, and he instantly lost consciousness and fell off the horse.
Wang Fangyi watched the enemy chief whom he had been fighting for a long time being knocked off his horse by Fang Junyishu, and he shouted in conviction: "The commander is mighty!"
The soldiers on the side looked excited and echoed in unison: "The commander is mighty!"
Fang Jun controlled the horse's reins with one hand to turn around, waved the horse's shaft with the other hand, and said loudly: "Send the order to Gao Kan, the Chinese army is equipped with firearms, each army is responsible for covering, the cavalry will follow me to defeat the enemy and enter the Xuanwu Gate!"
"Here!"
Wang Fangyi responded loudly and ordered the cavalry to follow Fang Jun to fight against the overwhelming Zuotun guards. Then he turned his horse and ran back to the Chinese army's tent. He said to Gao Kan: "The general has an order. The Chinese army is equipped with firearms. Follow the general to break through." Enemy, enter the Xuanwu Gate!”
"Here!"
Gao Kan's face was full of excitement and he waved his hand: "Open the warehouse and equip firearms!"
The firearms hidden in the military camp are the last trump card. The Foundry Bureau has always used various means to conceal the output to deceive other armies and confuse the rebels. It will never dare to leak it until the last moment, so Gao Kan can only rely on ordinary weapon tactics. Facing the enemy, the troops are at a disadvantage and the situation is unfavorable. Moreover, Li Daliang instigated part of the army to rebel, and the situation is extremely unfavorable.
Now that I can finally equip firearms, I will naturally kill everyone!
Fang Jun led more than a hundred soldiers under his command like a hurricane on the battlefield. After knocking Li Daliang off his horse, he rushed towards the Zuo Tun Guards who were coming like a tide, as if he was the one with thousands of troops. , turning a blind eye to the tidal wave of enemies, showing no fear, and the soldiers behind him were jumping on their horses and wielding their swords without any fear. They increased their horse speed to the limit and followed behind Fang Jun to launch a charge without hesitation.
Li Fengjie, who abandoned his father and ran away, tried his best to mobilize his horse and glanced back. It didn't matter if he didn't look. Hun'er was almost frightened at first glance!
More than a hundred cavalrymen were chasing after him like crazy, and the distance was getting closer and closer. You could almost see the lowered visor on the opponent's face...
He wildly waved the riding whip and hit the horse's buttocks to increase the speed. Fortunately, the Zuotun guards were already coming towards him. Li Fengjie saw Chai Lingwu who was rushing ahead but was heavily guarded by his generals, and shouted: "Brother Chai, save me!" (End of chapter)
