Chapter 367 Dubei
When the Taishan Army's colliding generals rushed down the left slope with a roar, Zang Yi was stunned.
I saw an extremely sophisticated yellow cavalry, like a sharp blade inserted directly from top to bottom in the front line of Zang Yi's Wuhuan cavalry.
In an instant, with just a blink of an eye from Zang Yi, the enemy troops crushed their most sophisticated platoon cavalry.
He never expected that the enemy coach on the opposite side, maybe even the one named Zhang Chong, would choose the most violent response when facing his surprise attack.
At this moment Zang Yi recalled those words:
"We warriors don't say that much. Whoever is more pure will survive!"
But Zang Yi could no longer think so much. Seeing the enemy troops wreaking havoc on Wuhuan's cavalry, he screamed with all his strength:
"Give me a flag and let the ministries stay out of the way."
The cavalry's tactical application is very flexible, and the insertion of sudden formations can be transformed repeatedly.
But it's a pity that Zang Yi's order was given too slowly, or Zhang Chong and the others attacked too quickly.
When Zang Yi's order was passed to the front line, Zhang Chong was already in front of him as if he were in no man's land.
Seeing Zhang Chong's cruel eyes under his visor, Zang Yichu was shocked and said the same frustrating words just now.
But then he laughed loudly, picked up an iron mace, and smashed it at Zhang Chong.
Too slow, too slow.
In Zhang Chong's eyes, Zang Yi struck hard. The power was good, but the speed was too slow.
So Zhang Chong showed Zang Yi what it meant to be as fast as lightning.
Zhang Chong didn't even need to hold his hand, and with a wave of his hand, he moved the iron bone flower wrapped around his wrist into the palm of his hand. Then with a slight difference, a bone hit Zang Yi's stretched out right wrist.
There was a huge sound of gold and iron accompanied by an even more tragic wail, and Zang Yi's right hand was directly smashed into blood foam, and the bones were shattered on the ground.
He could no longer remain on the horse and was hunched over in pain.
Dozens of generals continued to charge and kill, running past both sides of Zhang Chong and Zang Yi, driving out of this space.
So Zhang Chong took some time off, sat up straight on his horse, looked directly at Zang Yi, and said coldly:
"You dare to think of beheading me as a rebel. You are also a good man. Tell me your name."
Zang Yi was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. But he still glared at Zhang Chong, making Zhang Chong look like a villain.
Zhang Chong tsk-tsked, not taking it seriously, and switched Ma Jin to his right hand with his backhand, and then stabbed Zang Yi hard, nailing Zang Yi to the ground.
What are you trying to do in front of me, Zhang Chong?
With the death of Zang Yi, Wuhuan Tuqi also completely lost restraint. Under the collision of the generals, these Wuhuan cavalry exploded into small groups, chasing the waves, and retreated all the way.
Isn't it because Wuhuan Tuqi can't fight? Not really.
As loyal followers of Zang Min, the famous general of the Han Dynasty, they did not know how many victorious battles they had fought in the north and south, and how much prestige and merit they had won. But they could only lose in the face of Zhang Chong's rampaging generals.
Because the collision team is not only a military regiment, but also a heavy armored cavalry regiment.
The reason why the early Rampage team was called the Rampage was because it was a group of armored heavy infantry.
Later, as the functions of the collision team continued to change, more and more warriors who were skilled in martial arts and proficient in riding skills were recruited. This group of heavy armored infantry naturally became the first fully organized heavy armored cavalry regiment in the entire army.
However, no matter how capable the Wuhuan cavalry were in fighting, and no matter how well trained they were with the Han method, they would not be able to make up for the huge gap in collision between light cavalry and heavy cavalry.
Therefore, Wuhuan Tuqi was undoubtedly defeated, and Zang Yi's life was also lost.
……
When the collision team was chasing and killing the retreating Wuhuan cavalry at will, Zhang Chong relied on his horse to observe the battlefield.
With the defeat of Wuhuan's sudden cavalry, the battlefield situation in the rear was directly exposed to Zhang Chong.
Zhang Chong also began to take some time to see what was going on in this chaotic battlefield.
Previously on the left high ground, although I could see far, I couldn't see clearly. At this moment, Zhang Chong took a look at the situation in the middle and laughed. He ordered to Guo Zu who was guarding him:
"Send my order and attack the enemy in the middle directly."
That's right, after observing the formation, Zhang Chong judged that the enemy army was exhausted, so he decisively ordered an attack.
Why is there such a judgment?
It turned out that Zhang Chong discovered that the enemy formations surrounding Xi Shen and his three battalions did not rotate with each other for half a day.
The essence of infantry square formation combat is that only the first few rows, or even the first row, of officers can actually participate in the battle. This is why the vanguard's equipment is the best in the entire army, because their role is to maintain the battle line.
So what is the approximate number of troops participating in the war?
In other words, for a small formation of fifty people, that's about one-fifth. If calculated based on a 400-man formation, it would be about one-twentieth. And if it is a giant formation of two thousand people, then the proportion of soldiers participating in the battle is only one forty.
Therefore, phalanx operations must rotate front and back. The dead and wounded on the outermost periphery were constantly replaced, so that the abundant officers at the back could continue to maintain the front line.
And what about the Han army in the middle in front of us? But I didn't see anyone changing for a long time. Instead, they were all lying on the ground to rest.
In this way, Zhang Chong finally concluded that the Han soldiers in front of him were not luring the enemy, but were really tired.
What else is there to say? Let this battle end here.
Therefore, as soon as the officials around Zhang Chong blew the horns, the entire collision team began to adjust their direction and launched a thunderous blow towards the exhausted Han army in front.
During this process, there were hundreds of Wuhuan cavalry. They were compressed in the middle and could not escape at all. He could only be chased by the Taishan army behind him and run wildly in the opposite direction to his own friendly forces.
The situation was completely out of control.
First, the Fengsu soldiers resting at the rear were trampled by the Wuhuan cavalry, and then the entire battalion head was submerged under the heavy armored cavalry.
Seeing that the attack was effective, Zhang Chong kept giving orders. The apricot-yellow flag waved, and with the unique sound of the horn, the Taishan Army's attack rhythm was like art. Once a battalion is defeated, the battalion will be forced to continue charging, and then continue to chase.
In this way, the defeated troops were like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, becoming more and more powerful.
But at this moment, the Han Army's headquarters behind the Central Route Army was extremely quiet compared to the noisy wailing in front.
Everyone, including Sun Jian and Zang Min, seemed to have aphasia. Their mouths were open, but no words came out.
how so?
Just now, they saw Zang Yi leading the Wuhuan Assault Cavalry in a decisive victory. Not only did they cut off the enemy's third battalion of Assault Cavalry, they even planned to raid the left highland where the bandit commander was located.
At that time, Sun Jian and Zang Min were extremely excited. Especially Zang Min, his whole face turned red and he praised:
"Sure enough, thousands of troops are running south, and I am alone in the north."
Who couldn't be excited? The left high ground may be where the traitor commander Zhang Chong is. Once this person is killed, it will be such a great achievement that the situation in the entire world will be repeated.
But the changes were too fast. Zang Yi, who was originally in Dubei, became defeated in an instant.
As the flag representing Tibetan identity fell under an apricot flag, Zang Min's entire face turned pale.
After that, flags fell one after another, but the enemy's apricot-yellow flag still stood proudly in front of them.
Is the knight under the Xinghuang banner really invincible? At this moment, Zang Min inevitably came up with this idea.
Suddenly, Zang Min felt that it was getting dark, but he could still hear the wailing sounds of the battlefield clearly. But soon, these sounds drifted farther and farther away, so far that Zang Min could no longer hear them.
Just like that, Zang Min fainted.
What Sun Jian was most worried about happened. His leader fainted at this moment.
What now? Should you leave or stay?
Seeing the apricot-yellow flag getting closer and closer, Sun Jian made a decision.
……
The three battalions of Xi Sheng, Yan Gang, and Li Bi, who were besieged in the Seven Battalions of the Han Army, were in different situations.
In fact, only the 500 cavalry of the Flying Leopard Army were truly trapped. Under the leadership of Xi Shen, they had defeated a battalion of Han troops using the tactic of attacking from behind, but they also broke into the innermost part of the battlefield.
At that time, Zang Yi led Wuhuan to ride up and fight with the Flying Leopard Army. At this time, the seventh battalion of Han soldiers happened to block the retreat line of the Flying Leopard Army.
In this way, the Flying Leopard Army was trapped to the extreme.
But how could Yan Gang and Li Bi see the Flying Leopard Army being surrounded? Not to mention that they are in the same group, just talking about ranking in the army, Xi Shen is the senior of Yan Gang and Li Bi.
Especially Yan Gang, he first joined the army under Tuqi. At that time, the three Yuan generals of Tuqi were Tian Jun, Ren Yun, and Xi Shen.
Therefore, when the old officer was surrounded, Yan Gang immediately led the Tianwei Army to rush to rescue him. Then he was surrounded along with his old commander.
When Yan Gang came with blood all over his body and killed others, Xi Shen was speechless.
He really wanted to curse:
"Can't you attack from the outside? Is this how the cavalry is used?"
But Yan Gang was here to save himself, so he still didn't say these words.
On the other hand, Li Bi, the leader of the Tianwu Army, was a rare outstanding cavalry general, because he had a rare quality among cavalry generals, that is, calmness.
A charging cavalryman must be brave and courageous. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, he must have the courage to charge. But behind courage is often impulsiveness and laziness.
Ordinary cavalry usually have this mentality:
Hot girl, who cares, just hit him. If a person dies, a bird will look up to the sky, and he will not die for tens of thousands of years.
These people don't bother to use their brains to think about what is more suitable and can more freely kill others.
And Li Bi was such an excellent cavalryman.
Unlike his brother who has been in the sudden riding system, Li Bi's resume is very multi-faceted. First, he trained in the collision team, then participated in the reorganization of the new infantry battalion commander, and held various responsibilities. Finally, he came back as a cavalry commander.
It can be said that Li Bi is a typical compound talent.
Therefore, when the Flying Leopard Army was surrounded, Li Bi's choice was completely different from Yan Gang's. He did not charge without thinking. Instead, he took advantage of the chaos of the Han army's changing formations and directly attacked them.
If it hadn't been for the stray arrow that came from nowhere and hit his horse directly, causing him to fall down and seriously injure him, maybe the Tianwu Army alone could have rescued the Flying Leopard Army.
But war is never if. In the end, the Flying Leopard Army and the Tianwei Army were trapped in one place, and the Tianwu Army was trapped in one place.
When Li Bi fell to the ground, his guards were shocked and quickly protected him on a slope. Then Li Xiong, one of Li Bi's guards, broke out with a guard and headed south to find Li Fu. The Tianxiong Army.
In this way, Li Fu, who loved his brother eagerly, gave up the feat he was about to achieve and rushed to save Li Bi.
During this process, three assault cavalry battalions from the other two groups, such as the Flying Bear Army, the Flying Elephant Army, and the Tiande Army, also came to the rescue. They also used Li Bi's previous tactics, which was to constantly harass the Han soldiers on the outside, which greatly reduced the pressure on the trapped friendly forces in the inner formation.
The chaotic fighting had not lasted long when Xi Shen, who was covered in blood, saw an astonishing scene.
The apricot-yellow flag representing Qu Shuai actually rushed down from the left high ground and was still heading towards Xi Shen.
At this time, Xi Shen trembled all over, thinking of the days when he followed Zhang Chong on the battlefield. His original little thoughts were gone, except for one sentence.
I saw Xi Shen injured one thigh, holding the knife with all his strength, and shouted:
"Follow me to kill everyone, Commander Qu is here to save us."
After saying that, Xi Shen took the lead and counterattacked towards the Han army.
Reminded by Xi Shen's words, more and more Flying Leopard Army officers also saw Qu Shuai's charge, and their tears burst into tears and their blood boiled.
They have only one thought now, which is to kill these damn Han troops in front of them!
So, inspired by the commander-in-chief to lead the charge, the two battalions of Feibao and Tianwei in the inner circle mounted their horses again and counterattacked towards the Han army in front.
……
Chaos, crisis.
The rear camp collapsed and front counterattacks continued.
At this time, Zhang Chun of the Zhongshan National Army, who was in the middle, had cold hands and feet.
He was a captain of the Zhongshan Kingdom. He led four battalions of Zhongshan Kingdom elites to fight in the middle. He was about to encircle and kill the enemy troops in the formation. Who knew that the enemy would come to the rescue so quickly?
Moreover, why didn't any orders come from Dahu?
But this piece of pure is also a character. At this point, he was still thinking about eating up the two enemy battalions in the formation.
Therefore, he shouted angrily:
"Where is Bone Servant'en?"
At this time, a nine-foot-old man covered in iron armor came out of the formation and sang loudly:
"The end will be here."
These are the warriors Zhang Chun recruited from the grassland. They are from Xianbei. As a large Yuyang clan, Zhang Chun's family has a very complicated relationship with the various forces in the grassland.
They were not only middlemen for trade between the grasslands and the Central Plains, but also double-sided agents for traffic between the grasslands and the Han Dynasty. And Zhang Chun's family is also growing stronger in this two-way process.
This time, Zhang Chun took office with a hundred armored soldiers, which was his core force.
At this time, Zhang Chun was still loyal to the Han Dynasty. He ordered without thinking:
"Take a hundred armored soldiers under my tent, as well as two battalions in the rear, and help a certain family withstand the cavalry behind!"
Everyone with a discerning eye knew how dangerous this order was, but Gu Puen's expression did not change. Following the order, he led a hundred men of armored heavy infantry to support him.
And when Gu Puen left with his elite troops, Zhang Chun smiled ferociously and ordered to the soldiers:
"Let us first destroy the enemy in front of us, and then turn around and destroy the enemy behind us. This time, our Zhongshan soldiers will let the whole world know that we are unparalleled in the world."
All the military officers were infected by Zhang Chun's heroic spirit and shouted:
"Unparalleled in the world."
After saying that, Zhang Chun personally led the team and led two thousand elite soldiers of the Zhongshan Kingdom to collide with Fei Bao and Tianwei again.
This time, a righteousness, a loyalty, a ride, an endless hope, and a final glory.
It's unclear who will win.
