Chapter 781: Ending
Yes, Tian Jun saw the enemy cavalry in the southwest at the first moment. Although the size and timing of the enemy cavalry surprised Tian Jun, he still made the most correct choice at the moment.
Avoid the edge temporarily.
Thomas Tian has never been a reckless person.
And after seeing that the enemy's assault cavalry was pointing at him, Tian Jun thought of a countermeasure in the blink of an eye.
He flicked the horse's reins, and then laughed loudly at the nearby guards and trumpeters:
"The thieves are quite timid, but that's it, let's get rid of them."
After saying that, he took the lead and ran towards the west.
As soon as he moved, the large banner behind him followed suit, and the assault riders who were already using the large banner as their guide also began to move towards the west.
If you look down from the sky, you can see that Tian Jun's assault group began to run slowly towards the west. At this time, the smoke and dust raised by Yuan's assault group also covered it, but they could only bite. Live at the tail of Taishan Army.
At this time, Guo Tao, who was at the forefront, stared angrily. He first knocked over a Taishan Army assault rider who had fallen behind, and shouted:
"Turn, turn, catch up."
But it would be too difficult for the assault cavalry who had already charged to turn around.
Even though a group of Yuan Jun's cavalry in the front row heard Guo Tao's order, they still ran for another seven or eight hundred steps.
When Guo Tao finally turned the horse's head around, he saw his companion rushing forward and slashing diagonally at a fallen Taishan Army cavalry.
With a wailing sound, blood flowed all over the ground.
Guo Tao first cursed, asked his companion to return to the team, and then shouted to the left and right:
"Our army, as the vanguard of the entire army, leads the entire army in the main direction of attack. Now the enemy's army has collapsed in the west, and all the brothers are chasing us to death!"
With that said, Guo Tao led the already organized cavalry to pursue the Taishan Army to the west.
But behind where Guo Tao couldn't see, a large number of Yuan Jun's knights were wailing and falling off their horses. It turned out that when they stopped, the long archers of the Longxiang Army from the east were shooting arrows non-stop.
These elite knights pulled out by Yuan Jun did not die in the sudden battle with the Taishan Army's sudden cavalry, but fell to the longbows one by one. What killed them was actually Guo Tao's immature tactical experience.
In fact, even if Tian Junbu, who was originally scheduled to attack, fled eastward, Guo Tao should have continued to attack Long Xiang's army along the charge line.
At this time, Long Xiang's army was in dilapidated condition, and the infantrymen in the front row had been severely reduced in strength, and could not stop Yuan's group charge at all.
But now, because Guo Tao stubbornly wanted to pursue, first the charge momentum he had accumulated was eliminated by the steering, and the other assault cavalry who were catching up behind him were also crowded together because the horse speed in front was reduced.
As a result, Yuan Jun's sudden cavalry, which was stagnant and crowded, was a ready-made target for arrows, and it really killed a large area.
But Guo Tao, who was already pursuing the west, didn't know this. Maybe he was feeling proud of his courage to move forward?
After all, if a child of a family like him can charge on the front line, who can not say "tiger"!
But Guo Tao may not know that in the middle of Yuan's cavalry regiment, his old father Guo Dan is already shaking with anger.
Seeing the knights falling off their horses one after another in front of him, and seeing his traitorous son actually making the decision to turn without authorization, Guo Dan wished he could push the traitor back again.
At this time, he quite understood why all ethnic groups were warning their children, that is, they are not afraid of their children being dissolute, but they are afraid of their children working hard!
But the situation was like this. Without the target of attack, Guo Dan could only order the assault cavalry in front to continue charging, and the target was Long Xiang's army in front.
As for the sudden cavalry of the Taishan Army that had collapsed in the west, they could only let it go temporarily.
Therefore, the Chinese Army sent out a loud clarion call and issued a charge signal, instructing the assault cavalry generals in front to ignore the turned troops and continue to charge.
But Guo Dan also didn't understand the actual situation on the front line.
In fact, as more and more Yuan's knights fell to the ground, the area became congested, and even the sudden riders behind them were unable to charge.
Therefore, these knights had to slow down and go around to both sides. Some of them began to follow Guo Tao in pursuit, while others followed and began to attack Long Xiang's army.
And sure enough, Long Xiang's army, which had already reached the end of its strong crossbow, could no longer resist the charge of the sudden cavalry and collapsed towards the north.
Therefore, this greatly stimulated the Yuan's sudden cavalry. Even if the cavalry generals at the rear kept shouting, they still could not control the knights above.
"Boom, boom."
Individuals were exposed to the torrent of charges, and everyone's blood surged. They just wanted to kill the scurrying Taishan troops.
But their field of vision was limited. Before they could kill many Longxiang Army officials, the front was suddenly empty. The originally defeated Longxiang Army completed the change of positions and retreated to the rear.
And in this space, what did they see? There were rows and rows of bed crossbows, and the cold and sharp crossbow arrows were pointed directly at them.
Knight Yuan Jun in the front row had already roared to the top of his lungs, but it was already too late.
The Taishan army officers in front hit the hammers hard with hammers in their hands. The unparalleled kinetic energy drove the sharp spears and shot them in rows in front of Yuan Jun.
The knights in the front row were all carried away, and it took a series of four or five people to stop the momentum of the spear.
Pieces of people fell down, and the blood spurted out suddenly turned this place into a world of blood.
When these bed crossbows swore, the heaven and the earth seemed to be silent, and then, a high-pitched wailing broke out from the position where Long Xiang's army was originally located.
No one can describe such cruelty, and no one has seen it. Those thick spears almost tore half of Knight Yuan Jun's body into pieces.
Death is just a nod to the ground, and no matter how miserable it is, it is nothing more than being quartered by five horses. What kind of sins did these Yuan Jun knights have to suffer such pain?
In this round of crossbows, Yuan Jun directly killed four to five hundred riders. It sounds like the number of people was small, but it was instantaneous. In addition, the scene was too bloody and shocking, and their high morale was suddenly hammered down. into the abyss.
No one talks about being lonely and brave, and they must continue to attack regardless of their own safety. It can be said that anyone who still has the courage to look at the opposite side at this time is already a warrior.
Without anyone to stop them, the Yuan Jun knights who were lucky enough to survive the first round of shooting turned their horses and fled.
They didn't choose any direction, and they didn't have any plan. They only had one thought in their minds, and that was to get out of this damn hell as soon as possible.
……
The decisive battle between Yuan Jun and the Taishan Army Knights on the west side involved a large area, extending for more than ten miles, with the two sides' sudden cavalry clashing back and forth everywhere.
At this time, Guo Tao certainly didn't know that his "excellent bravery" had already saved his life.
Otherwise, if he chose to continue attacking the Taishan Army's formation, he would definitely die in the bed crossbow formation that Yu Jin had arranged in advance.
After choosing to pursue in tandem, he was leading a part of Yuan's assault cavalry to bite the Taishan Army's assault cavalry that fell behind.
Because this pursuit was redirected, the formation was no longer as neat as before. In the entire cross-section of the impact, Guo Tao led a part of the assault cavalry as the main attack, and a part of the assault cavalry began to strangle along the edge of the dense forest to the north. The knights of Taishan Military Region are scattered everywhere. Tian Jun's running west before the attack was indeed a good tactic.
But war is not a game, it happens in real situations. When Tian Jun blew the trumpet and ran to the west, the response of the large number of Taishan Army's sudden cavalry was actually much slower.
The assault cavalry surrounding Tian Jun were okay, and they naturally followed Tian Jun's banners and generals' flags, but the assault cavalry on the outside couldn't do this.
They were too late to catch up with the main force, so they could only run towards the dense forest to the north, where they could block Yuan Jun's sudden cavalry behind them.
However, the Yuan Army's assault cavalry was very fast, and many of the Taishan Army's assault cavalry had no time to retreat into the dense forest, and were bitten by these people.
As a result, outside the dense forest, from time to time there would be small groups of cavalry galloping back and forth to fight.
Guo Tao just glanced at this time and saw about ten enemy cavalry outside the dense forest surrounded by his own army. Those people had their backs to each other, and then desperately chose to charge with their swords.
Seeing the enemy heads being chopped off one after another, Guo Tao's whole mood was aroused. With his eyes red, he once again picked up his horse and moved forward to catch up.
Kill these moth thieves, dog slaves.
In front of Guo Tao and the others was a group of Taishan Army archer knights. These sudden cavalry were generally tribal knights from Xianbei. While maintaining a certain running speed, they would turn around and shoot back at the pursuers behind them from time to time.
This kind of harassment made Guo Tao feel like a boar in heat, he kept charging regardless.
But just now, at Guo Tao's side, his deputy general Han Rang was shot by an iron-cone arrow. The arrow penetrated the armor's skirt, penetrated deeply into the flesh, and bleeded profusely.
Han Rang wanted to continue fighting, but was stopped by Guo Tao, who ordered a few cavalry to escort Han Rang back to the camp for treatment.
Han Rang is the son of Han Fu, and the Guo and Han families are in-laws. Guo Tao and Han Rang grew up together and have a deep love for each other.
Because of the Han You incident, the Han family's development has not been good since then, so Guo Tao felt the need to protect Han Rang and prevent the Han family from losing such an essence again.
But Han Rang's performance was very intriguing. When Guo Tao asked him to withdraw, his expression was neither regret nor anger. Instead, he stared at Guo Tao and said:
"Sanlang, you must take care of yourself. If something goes wrong, you must retreat from the west and never return to the camp on the south bank."
Seeing that Guo Tao looked like he wanted to ask more questions, Han Rang did not dare to say more, but once again told him to remember his words, and then retreated from the battlefield with a few assault riders.
At this moment, Guo Tao was a little disturbed by Han Rang's operation, but the Taishan Army's assault cavalry in front slowed down again. He didn't think much and rushed forward again.
In front of Guo Tao, the team of Xianbei tribesmen did not know what signal they heard. After running for a certain distance, they actually slowed down their horses and then began to turn their horses around to face the oncoming Guo Tao and others. past.
Guo Tao was startled by the sudden appearance from the opposite side, but he immediately looked around and saw them rushing forward with their spears raised, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
And we can’t let everyone think that we are a powerful person.
So Guo Tao also raised his horse and rushed forward.
In fact, the Xianbei tribesmen on the opposite side chose this position to countercharge, which was actually showing their determination to die.
Without him, because these Xianbei knights are too few in number, no matter how brave they are, what can they do?
Sure enough, the first group fell in the first round of fighting. The remaining assault cavalry wanted to retreat to the dense forest to the north, but they were chased to a dead end by the Yuan's assault cavalry who caught up from behind. They were not shot down. If he fell down from his horse and broke his neck, he would be stabbed to death by the enemy soldiers who caught up.
After experiencing a short but fierce hand-to-hand battle, Guo Tao once again successfully defeated the opponent and achieved another distinction.
At this time, two moments had passed since Yuan's cavalry charge, and there was not much time left before the end of noon.
But just when Guo Tao and the others could see Tian Jun's flag, they discovered that the flag was about to turn again, and the target turned out to be the middle section of the approaching Yuan Jun's assault cavalry.
In other words, Tian Jun made a circle from the west, and his final goal was to charge the middle and rear sections of his enemy army.
What a great one, ouroboros!
……
The unfathomable nature of war was vividly displayed at this moment. Yuan Jun, who was chasing the Taishan Army just now, became the target of being chased at this moment.
The hunter and the prey complete the reversal of their identities at this moment.
At this time, Tian Jun's eyes were red under the banner. The screams coming from behind him from time to time made his heart twist. He had to admit that the other side did give him a beautiful hand.
First, they took advantage of the small gentle slope, and the enemy troops completed the mobilization of their troops behind the slope, and then they kept silent until they saw that they had dispersed their troops, and then suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
The whole tactic was very beautiful, and it really caught me off guard.
But fighting is not like this. It is not about who laughs early, but who laughs last.
At this time, he had already seen the "Guo" flag on the opposite side, and the leader of the cavalry army should be underneath.
Thinking of this, Tian Jun's eyes were murderous. He just raised the horse in his hand high, raised his arms three times, and then galloped out with the horse under his arm.
Behind him, the cavalry officers who were guarding the cavalry were chasing after him, and they faintly rushed past Tian Jun's body, guarding the cavalry general behind him.
In front of the big banner, Han Dang, who was the vanguard of the entire army, was holding an iron spear of eight feet, and suddenly crashed into the side of the enemy's cavalry.
Then, countless Taishan Army's sudden cavalry followed behind and rushed into the enemy's cavalry formation.
At this point, Tian Jun took advantage of the opportunity like a genius and adopted a tactic of connecting tail and side, directly attacking the enemy's flank.
And this time, Yuan Jun's Tuqi was killed.
As mentioned before, in order to pursue impact speed, Guo Dan organized his two thousand cavalry into a long and narrow column. This resulted in the width of his entire team being very weak, with an average of only fifty cavalry per row. Separate.
This resulted in that when Han Dang and the others completed their encirclement attack, they penetrated into Yuan Jun's formation at once, and their speed did not slow down at all. In the blink of an eye, they were under the big banner with the word "Guo".
Then, Guo Tao and others, who were still pursuing, suddenly heard the roar of the Taishan Army's sudden cavalry, and then he heard the sentence:
"The enemy general Guo Dan has been killed by Han Dang!"
Then, amidst the loud shouts, Guo Tao's vision went dark, and he vomited out a mouthful of blood, and then screamed like a bird and beast:
"Father! No!"
A hearty cavalry chase came to an end in this way, and the decisive battle between the Taishan Army and the Yuan Family was also reversed due to this battle.
The winner of this decisive battle finally emerged.
