Chapter 212: Crazy across the board
The setting sun hangs in the west of the imperial city, and the soft glow shines on Gufeng Tower. The banquet to receive the emperor's uncle Zhao Guangshi has not yet begun. Several generals from Sui and Qing, as well as Wu and Yue At this time, the generals of the country also entered the palace to pay their respects.
Looking at them, Zhao Chuanting felt as comfortable as if someone from another country had come to court.
Inside the building, there are endless lights. As a place to entertain generals from other countries and two states, the luxurious eaves, carved window lattice, and lattice fence with flying dragons and phoenixes are not considered shabby.
There are a large number of palace soldiers guarding the building outside, and inside the building are palace guards in royal robes. The banquet has not yet begun. The Wei Emperor is standing on the terrace (pavilion, similar to a balcony) on the third floor. title)
Behind him, the generals of Yue and Wu, as well as the generals of Suiqing and Suizhou, chatted in the hall for a while, and then came over and stood behind the emperor, looking at the magnificent Wei Palace bathed in the red glow.
Similarly, they are a little cautious and worried. Although there are 400,000 troops here, the other side also has more than 100,000 troops, which is not so easy to fight.
"...Your Majesty, on the way here, the foreign minister has been thinking repeatedly about the Xia King of Yan State. All his soldiers have been killed on the battlefield. At the moment, we only have the advantage of military strength and will not encircle him as soon as possible. , We will all fall into a bitter battle. "
The Wu general Cui Zhan who spoke, his emperor had told him before leaving, try to ensure that his subordinates can come back alive, and the Wu land war will be with the north, the Central Plains, the northwest, and Compared with the soldiers in the four southwest areas, they are unsatisfactory. This was also the reason why he urged Zhao Chuanting.
The generals from Nanyue also nodded in agreement. After all, they were not fighting for their own country, so naturally they did not want to stay in Wei.
"I understand the mood of both of you, but the army has just arrived and needs to be adjusted and rested. The troops of Liang and Qi will not be able to arrive at the scheduled place until later. The right way is to complete the battle in one battle!"
In the red glow, Zhao Chuanting, whose physical strength is no longer what he was when he was young, is holding a jade wine glass, "That King of Xia has been standing still in Guangfu, constantly sending scouts and spies to spy on us. At this time, we can't be impatient."
"But we may divide them and annihilate them, and open up the food road to the north of them!"
In the low words of the Wu general, Wei Emperor Zhao Chuanting was silent for a moment, "There are 90,000 people over there. To the west, 90,000 troops from Qi and Liang are also on the way. Even if they want to open up the grain road from Guangjizhou to Hunhe, they must eat 90,000 troops in two days. Is this possible? "
< br>The gray-haired emperor drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, handed the glass to the attendant, pressed his hands on the guardrail, and looked at the towering palaces in the distance.
"I don't believe he can eat 400,000 soldiers and horses!"
......
The rays of light streak across the Yangzhou Plain in charming red, and the goshawks fly across the sky.
There is an ominous atmosphere permeating this bright red color.
The three armies of Gan, Feng and Guangjizhou, which detoured from the rear of the Yan army, were stationed at a place called Linqiu at the junction of Yangzhou and Guangji.
News from the imperial court came several times, asking them to wait for the arrival of 50,000 troops from Liang and Qi before encircling Guangfu.
As the commander-in-chief of the Guangji battlefield, Wang Longen had already made preparations to die for his country after being defeated for the first time. However, after receiving the imperial edict, he led his troops to retreat and gave way to the Yan army to go south. Road, and among the governors of the east and west routes, Lei Yunzhong was beheaded by the enemy generals in the rebellion. The governor Wang Luozhou on the west route battlefield was his brother. Both brothers were defeated on the battlefield, which was really embarrassing.
At present, the three states have 90,000 soldiers and horses, and they must avenge their previous humiliation.
In the red clouds of this afternoon, the two of them rode horses and led their soldiers slowly on the field, saying some heartfelt words.
"Brother, do you really think that in this battle, 400,000 troops and horses can defeat 100,000 people from the Yan Kingdom?" Wang Luozhou looked ahead and saw the scouts running back, and he felt somewhat worried.
Wang Longen pressed the head of the knife and pointed his finger at his brother in laughter: "You are just talking nonsense. If it is not conducive to the battle, don't talk nonsense and affect the morale of the army. But with an army of 400,000, even if the soldiers are not as good as them, they will be tired to death." ."
"Haha, your majesty and the children of Yan State are really brave. They haven't fought in many years. I didn't expect that a fight would be so big."
"That's good, I have the talent. The hope of making great achievements."
Wang Longen raised his face and took a deep breath. He always felt a little bit ominous in the blowing wind. The scout running back from the front lay on his horse, with a knife stuck in his back. Several arrows.
In the direction extending towards Yangzhou, the scouting battle suddenly became fierce.
...
The red clouds shone on the plain, and figures in iron armor changed their horses and turned over. Li Jue also changed to a war horse covered with iron plates. He put the iron helmet on his head with both hands. He looked back at Dong Zhuo who came to see him off.
He picked up the big gun and grinned.
"Dong Gong, if Jue is unlucky and dies in battle this time, let Guo Aduo take my place. The Flying Bear Army should be handed over to my brothers!"
One by one. The armored horses came forward, interlocked with thick iron chains, two horses in a team, arranged in a cone shape.
Half a mile behind them, war horses moved slowly and then stopped. This was the two thousand tiger cavalry camp in the center. They were strong, wearing only leather armor, and in their hands was a long sword similar to the Yanyue Sword. The blades are broad and sharp. As the center formation, they are not responsible for charging, but follow the front formation to tear open the gap.
"Yide, how are you looking like this?" Guan Yu is dressed in a beast head with mountain armor on his shoulders, half of his body is in a straight green robe, with a blue dragon leaning against the moon, on horseback, his long beard is gently stroking in the wind , his phoenix eyes slowly half-opened, and he called to Zhang Fei behind him: "Don't worry, just come back if you go for brother."
"Second brother!" Zhang Fei's rough voice trembled slightly, and he whispered : "What I want to say is... let's change with you."
The corners of Guan Yu's mouth twitched.
For the second cavalry in the formation, Ma Chao bumped fists with Ma Dai, and he got on his horse, his heart surging.
On the field, the rumble of horse hoofbeats spread over, one red and one white. The two generals led their cavalry to run. Afterwards, Xia Houyuan patted Zhang He on the shoulder.
"Leave it to you, don't lose the reputation of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"
Twenty miles north of Guangfu City, the quiet wilderness gradually became filled with murderous intent, and each cavalry team maintained its The shape comes closer. A large number of scouts were sent out to drive away the Wei scouts dozens of miles away. Su Chen was wearing armor, riding on horseback and looking at the assembled group of cavalry, and slowly raised his hand.
Amidst the bright red color, he clenched his hands into fists and said softly: "What does it feel like for ninety thousand people to step under the hoofs of horses? The men under Gu's command soon experienced it. .”
The generals in the army laughed ferociously as they bid farewell to the cavalry group.
Ever since Wei's 400,000-strong army began to form an encirclement posture, Su Chen has been asking all the soldiers and war horses to recharge their batteries and fight all the way. They always need to rest and recuperate. After replenishing their physical strength and energy, it is best to Good fighting state.
The sky gradually began to darken.
The war horses began to move slowly, trampling the ground with their iron hooves. More than ten thousand cavalry were divided into four formations, front, rear, left and right, like undulating waves, rushing towards the north.
……
Linqiu, Wang Longen and Wang Luozhou's eyelids twitched when they saw the scout with several arrows stuck in his back.
Soon a fierce scout battle came before them.
“The Yan army is so fierce, do they want to break out from us?”
Wang Longen’s first reaction was that the Yan army, which had been silent for several days, wanted to escape from the huge network of 400,000 troops. After all, anyone surrounded in the middle will feel great pressure!
“We cannot let them break out from here and retreat to Guangjizhou!”
The quiet camp then became agitated. Soldiers and horses from the three states poured out of the stretching military camp and began to gather, pulling a net as if to block the Yan army in this evening.
However, soon, in the dark sky, more and more of our own scouts rushed towards this direction crazily.
There were scouts on horseback, waving their hands to the military formation here, shouting: "Here we come... spread out... spread out..."
"What? Coming?" A general stationed at the front looked at the deputy general next to him, "Did you hear what the scout was shouting just now?"
When he finished speaking, the horse under him was restless. The ground stepped on its hooves, and the surrounding soldiers clearly felt the ground shaking slightly.
"General, the ground is shaking, could there be a large number of cavalry..."
Before the soldier who felt something was wrong had finished speaking, at the end of everyone's field of vision, at the end of the dark field, there was a long line of fire. Spread over.
Rumble——
One after another, armored war horses with a rusty smell rushed forward. Countless churning horse hooves stamped heavily on the ground. In the light of torches held by cavalry, they rushed forward. Li Jue at the front, he opened his mouth under the iron helmet.
"Flying Bear Army! Speed up...crash them to death!"
"Yes."
The rushing heavy cavalry gradually accelerated and ran wildly. The sound of trampled hooves turned into thunder on the earth in an instant.
In front, there is an array of ten thousand people, arranged in the shape of a 'qi'. About three miles away from them, there is a second army of soldiers and horses waiting in full formation.
At this time, I saw the rushing cavalry group. Thousands of infantrymen crowded together nervously amidst the shouts of the generals. Their shields pressed against the ground and their spears stuck out of the shields, like a forest. After they were set up, the archers walked through the ranks, or stood on both sides of the array and drew up their long bows, and there was a roaring sound.
However, they were not given much preparation. On either side of the oncoming cavalry were two other light cavalry that came unexpectedly. A hail of arrows poured directly over them, bringing with them a shower of blood. At the same time, they continued While running, he made an arc, widened the distance, and wandered to the flank of the battlefield.
At the moment, all the attention of this 10,000-strong Ganzhou army was focused on the rushing heavy cavalry.
Everyone gritted their teeth, gripped their spears and shields tightly, and stared ahead with red eyes. In the dark night, an invisible number of cavalry with iron chains hanging across them rushed towards them.
The iron cavalry swept across!
The armored cavalry running at high speed crashed into the dense infantry array in a cone shape. One team after another, the heavy cavalry rubbed their iron spears and brought up sparks in the ricochet. It was a terrifying "boom" scene. Crash.
The shields in the hands of the Ganzhou soldiers in the first row twisted and shattered directly against them, and were then trampled under them by the rushing horses.
One thousand Flying Bear heavy cavalry, two in a team, rushed across hundreds of feet like raindrops into an array of tens of thousands of people in Ganzhou. Their spears pierced people's heads and bodies, the running horses, the connected iron ropes, and the people's bodies. They fell one by one, and the soldiers who were lucky enough to escape in the first round of charging had not had time to form a formation. The second group of tiger cavalry battalions and Xiqiang cavalry armed with broadswords rushed into the crowd that had been plowed, and waved away. Thousands of sword lights, human heads, and stumps were instantly scattered all over the battle line.
In front, the iron cavalry cleared the way, the tiger cavalry and Xiqiang followed closely in the second charge, the bow cavalry on both sides harassed, and the tiger and leopard cavalry in the rear combed for the third time.
In this military formation of ten thousand people, most of the soldiers were killed alive and killed on the front line, and they only resisted half a stick of incense!
The whole line collapsed.
The wave of cavalry did not stop at all and rushed straight to the next formation.
...
When Brother Wang Longen received the news, his face turned pale. When he hurriedly asked the soldiers to adjust the direction of the formation, a terrifying wave of cavalry was already coming towards them.
Today there are twelve thousand words...
