Chapter 791 It hurts
Not everyone wants to hit it.
Speed and power are men's romance, but behind them are bloodshed and casualties.
At this time, there were six cavalry generals accompanying Wen Chou, four of whom were children of wealthy families from the Sanfu area, and two of them were generals and relatives of Wen Chou's family.
During the war between the two capitals, a large number of children from small wealthy families could not bear the back-and-forth exploitation by both sides, so they went south to the Nanyang and Yingchuan areas. Later, Yuan Shao formed the Xifu Knights based on these exiles.
But at this time, these knights from Sanfu were not very motivated.
Heavy armored cavalry is a completely new force, but they are still very clear about how powerful it is, so when a large number of armored cavalry appear on the opposite side, they can imagine the tragic consequences of the collision.
So hesitation at this moment is somewhat human nature.
But on the contrary, the cavalry generals directly under Wen Chou were high-spirited and resolutely obeyed Wen Chou's military orders.
When Wen Chou took the lead in attacking, the two men followed behind with their armored cavalry, showing their decisive battlefield spirit.
Among Yuan Shao's many generals, Wen Chou was as famous for his violent temper as for his martial prowess.
This fiery temper coupled with his superb martial arts is exactly what Yuan Shao needs. But Yuan Shao may not have thought that it was Wen Chou's irritability and impulsiveness that would destroy Yuan Shao's last strategic force.
But to be honest, Wen Chou did nothing wrong. Not to mention that the armored cavalry on the opposite side was already blocking the charge line. It was also correct to simply launch a group cavalry charge against the uncollapsed infantry phalanx.
Because the Taishan Army also uses armored cavalry in this way, they can often make the final decision.
And if Yuan Shao learns of Wen Chou's plan, he will even feel relieved, thinking that Wen Chou's approach is really correct.
Simply looking at the entire battlefield, Yuan Shao's collapse on the Western Front was unstoppable. The Taishan Army's assault cavalry continuously defeated Yuan's army's formation, and then the Western Front Corps led by the ban was like a chopping block.
Just because that side is about five or six miles away from Yuan Shao's midline battlefield, the collapse of the western front cannot affect this side.
But this distance is enough to delay Yuan Shao for at least half an hour. If he cannot make decisive progress within this window, Yuan Shao will undoubtedly lose.
In fact, Yuan Shao, who was on the front line in the middle, was in the same mood as a roller coaster. At first, when he saw Er Li's regiments joining the battle one after another, just like tigers descending from the mountain, he simply thought he had victory in hand.
But then the situation took a turn for the worse. The Taishan Army showed great resilience and cooperation, not only blocking twice the number of attacks from their own side, but also defeating many battalion heads.
Therefore, when Yuan Shao saw a military flag with the word "Li" flying, he couldn't stand still and asked Ling Qi to find Wen Chou, just to let him join the battle.
But before Ling Qi found Wen Chou, Wen Chou himself had already used his initiative and decided to attack on his own.
Although Wen Chou's impending attack made Yuan Shao happy and relieved, Wen Chou's attack was related to the success or failure of the battle. Yuan Shao couldn't help but murmured:
"Wenjun, this is our only chance."
……
Wen Chou didn't know that Yuan Shao had been paying attention to him and placed all his hopes on him.
At this time, Wen Chou, who was wearing a basin collar armor, was making the final acceleration aggressively. Because they had just emerged from the right guard's position, although they had no casualties, their overall horse speed dropped.
So he wanted to take advantage of this distance to increase the speed of the entire army again.
At this time, he still used the column attack formation, but because the space of this section of the horse racing track was relatively narrow, during the charge, the Xifu Jiaqi consciously formed a more pointed and narrow cone formation.
At this moment, it was three o'clock in the day, the sun had already set to the west, and the Xifu armored cavalry was charging from the east to the west, while the Taishan army's armored cavalry was on the contrary, charging from the west to the east.
Therefore, at this time, Wen Chou's Xifu Jiaqi had his back to the sun and had a very good view.
So Wen Chou shouted while running:
"Our army has the sun on its back, and I have the advantage!"
The morale of the knights of Xifu was greatly boosted after realizing this.
Wen Chou, who was quite pleased with himself, felt reassured when he looked at the Taishan armored cavalry opposite him who couldn't even open his eyes.
But at this moment, he inadvertently spotted a knight. He didn't know how to describe this man. In short, the warrior's intuition told him that he would die if he met this man.
This subconscious thought made Wen Chou angry. He stared at the person in the distance, but he couldn't control his body. He fiddled with the horse's head and charged towards the other side.
Yes, Wen Chou didn't dare to face the knight opposite.
In a daze, Wen Chou bumped into the opposite side. It was a knight wearing an iron mask. In just a moment, he used his horse to push against the man's iron mask.
The spearhead in Wen Chou's hands is very sophisticated. It took two years to make this spearhead. Not only the spearhead is made of fine iron, but the entire wooden pole is also made of secret techniques to reach a length of eight feet while maintaining excellent strength. toughness.
Therefore, Wen Chou's blow directly cracked the visor of the knight on the opposite side, and after the spear cracked the visor, it rebounded and hit the knight's cheek directly.
Wen Chou didn't even move his horse, and the powerful momentum knocked the knight away.
Then, the war horse neighed, leading Wen Chou to rush faster and faster.
After that, Wen Chou used his horse's pin to kill several riders, leaving him with almost no enemies.
But even though his men were not stopping, Wen Chou could not help but think about the knight he had just seen.
We should probably never meet him again!
……
Perhaps no one expected that the knight Wen Chou saw was not Pound, but King Zhang himself.
After learning that the Western Front had achieved a phased victory and seeing that the Eastern Front's position was becoming increasingly unstable, Zhang Chong judged at that time that the enemy's armored cavalry would definitely be dispatched at this time.
So he first asked Li Bi to lead more than a thousand assault cavalry first, and then asked Dian Wei, who was close to the eastern front, to bring about two thousand armored soldiers to support him. Finally, he asked Pang De to move to the eastern front with his own armored cavalry.
However, considering that the leader of the armored cavalry on the opposite side was Wen Chou, Zhang Chong was worried that Pang De's combat power might not be able to withstand it, so Zhang Chong had to decide to lead the armored cavalry himself.
Although the Taishan Army seems to have countless generals, there may be hundreds of them with names and surnames, but it is a pity that there is no cavalry general beside Zhang Chong who can be dispatched and can resist Wen Chou.
Dian Wei and Li Damu were by no means inferior to Wen Chou in terms of bravery, but since they were not cavalry officers, they could not use their full combat power.
Therefore, Zhang Chong decided to charge with his armored cavalry after careful consideration.
And in order to prevent the enemy troops from escaping early after seeing his banner, Zhang Chong still hung Pound's flag, while Zhang Dan was in charge of his own army.
It turned out that Zhang Dan arrived at Zhang Chong's main formation half an hour after the Yiluo decisive battle broke out, serving as his backup force.
When the war reaches Zhang Chong's level, no matter how small his troops are, he will still leave enough reserves for himself.
Previously, Yuan Shao thought that Zhang Chong had deployed all his troops to the front line, which was a misjudgment.
When Zhang Dan came, he brought almost 13,000 troops, all of whom were elite battalions from Hanoi.
They had been lurking in the north of Luoshui for a long time to rest, so after arriving at the battlefield quickly, the morale and physical fitness of each battalion were very good, and they could immediately go to the battlefield.
Therefore, Zhang Chong asked Zhang Dan to devote one of his troops to the western front to help Yu Jin expand his victory, while the remaining two armies remained stationary, waiting for him to defeat Yuan's army on the eastern front.
Yes, Zhang Chong is so confident.
In fact, this was also the case. When Zhang Chong attacked the enemy Xifu Knight with his front arrow at full speed, he also saw the front arrow head on the opposite side, but for some unknown reason, the front arrow head on the opposite side actually changed its direction.
Zhang Chong's intuition told him that that person should be Wen Chou. But he still didn't care and continued to charge in a straight line.
Because in Zhang Chong's view, the enemy had already lost the moment Wen Chou changed direction.
Sure enough, the vanguard led by Wen Chou, who was the vanguard, suddenly changed direction. Only a few groups of armored cavalry behind saw it and subconsciously followed. The rest, because they had no vision, all rushed forward with their heads covered. As a result, the originally complete front arrow formation changed direction because of Wen Chou's front arrow head, and the entire formation was split into two. The head part slipped away, and the tail part bumped into Zhang Chong's horse. superior.
As we all know, when a point collides with a surface, it is always that surface that is pierced.
"Boom, boom, boom"
The sound of the collision between the two sides was like a thunderbolt, the collapse of the horse's stall, the scream of the fallen horse, and the sound of the sharp teeth cutting through the iron armor. This is a game for the brave, but only the lucky ones will survive.
Zhang Chong was still at the forefront, and the sunshine on the opposite side did put his side at a considerable disadvantage.
Many knights were obviously more powerful, but because the dazzling sunlight prevented them from looking directly at the enemy for a long time, they lost their lives in an instant.
But the Taishan Army still occupies an overwhelming advantage. Zhang Chong's unrivaled force is one part, and he is attacking the horizontal formation with the front arrow formation and another part.
At this moment, under the leadership of Zhang Chong, the horseshoes in their hands were as smooth as a knife cutting into butter.
Without any obstruction or delay, the Taishan Army's arrows dug into the Xifu Jiaqi like nails, and their powerful kinetic energy and thick depth were like hammers, driving the nails deeper.
It was nailed to the seven inches of Xifu Jiaqi.
……
Wen Chou had already noticed something was wrong.
After another impact stopped, he finally turned around and looked back, and saw that only a dozen or so cavalry were still following him, and the remaining armored cavalry did not follow at all.
No wonder, the more he rushes, the harder he can move.
At this time, Wen Chou finally realized how big a mistake he had made by making a subconscious turn.
But the big mistake has been made, and it is useless to regret it anymore.
He looked at the armored knights who were still following him behind him and shouted:
"Go, don't stop. If you rush, you will live. If you stop, you will die."
Of course, these ten riders also understood this truth. At this moment, they all shouted:
"If you rush, you will live, if you stop, you will die."
At this moment, their roars in unison were the only sense of security they had left.
Wen Chou's whole face turned sickly red, his throat was hoarse, and the horse spear in his hand kept lashing out, and the armor on his body was constantly scratched by the horse spear stabbed from the opposite side.
Seeing Wen Chou fighting for his life, the knights behind him were naturally not afraid of death. When the horse's shaft was broken, they pulled out their swords, chopped them with the swords, and then used the horses' shafts.
Everyone jumped on their horses and rushed to kill, running rampant.
But no matter how hard an individual tries, he or she cannot save the collapsed situation. At this time, Xifu Jiaqi was under the attack of Taishan Army, and the situation gradually faded away.
When Wen Chou led the only three remaining armored cavalry to fight out, they looked back and saw the sky and the earth collapse, and the armored cavalry that dominated the entire army disappeared like frost and snow.
One of the rough knights was crying immediately and couldn't help it anymore:
"Military leader, what should we do."
Wen Chou stared blankly at the hellish scene, filled with endless regret. At this moment, he understood that the great event was over, and Mr. Chen's mountain-sea ambition also ended here.
It was also at this moment that Wen Chou understood that his life was going to end here.
He looked around the battlefield. Even though the soldiers were at war and the stench was high, the scenery was still beautiful. It was really a good place to bury bones.
He suddenly thought of his good friend Yan Liang. Maybe when his friend died in Kyoto, he was in the same state of mind as himself.
Thinking of this, Wen Chou turned to the remaining two knights and said sadly:
"Now that the big thing is over, you all should disperse and run for your lives."
It was the rough knight who cried out first who said:
"Military lord, let's go together. If Xiang Yu could go south to Jiangdong back then, he might not be able to make a comeback. Now I can't wait for a defeat. There are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Yuzhou. Chen Gong must withdraw to the rear. He needs military lord."
Wen Chou shook his head and looked at the other knight:
"Xiao Tao, what about you?"
The knight named Xiao Tao just said:
"I would like to follow the army and conquer the mountains of corpses and seas of blood!"
Wen Chou laughed and said nothing more. Then he threw away the broken horse spear in his hand, drew out the Huanshou knife, and charged again towards the road he came from.
Behind him, the two knights chose different directions. The one named Xiao Tao followed Wen Chou without saying a word, while the other armored knight rode a war horse and ran towards the south.
But where can I run to? His decorations are too eye-catching, and the place is full of Taishan troops.
As he ran all the way south, in a small formation, a longbowman from the Taishan Army kept his bow pointed at him.
Just when the longbowman calculated his speed and was about to take the man's life with one arrow, in his field of vision, the armored cavalry suddenly fell to the grass. Then he saw a group of skirmishers emerging from the grass and cutting them off neatly. Take this man's head.
The long archer cursed and could only look for other broken soldiers as targets.
……
"Death!"
"Death!"
The angry Wen Chou yelled every time he killed someone.
At this time, the knight named Xiao Tao was still following Wen Chou, blocking the horse on the right for him.
Wen Chou has gone crazy. He is now shouting:
"I, Wen Chou, will be infamy for eternity. It was I, Wen Chou, who misled Mr. Chen! Oh, kill him!"
I don’t know when Doudou fell off, and Wen Chou’s hair was howling there, just like a fierce ghost.
The Huanshou knife in his hand slipped and fell to the ground during another chop because there was too much blood on the handle. Wen Chou didn't have time to pick it up, so he took out the iron bone flower and waved it desperately.
At this time, the armored cavalry of the Taishan Army were gathering more and more. Wen Chou and Xiao Tao were already surrounded, and they were unable to escape.
At the last moment, Wen Chou said desperately to Xiao Tao:
"Xiao Tao, it's about to end!"
After saying that, Wen Chou rushed up with the iron bone flower, and then four horse sticks passed under his ribs. With a loud "hey" from the Taishan Army on the opposite side, Wen Chou was lifted into the air.
In the air, Wen Chou raised his head hard, as if he wanted to see Yuan Shao in the distance, but his eyes were filled with blood and tears, so what could he see?
Finally, Wen Chou tried his best and left the world with his last roar:
"Hey, hey, it doesn't hurt, Mr. Nai!"
After saying that, Wen Chou breathed his last.
Over there, the person named Xiao Tao was beheaded with a knife without leaving any sound.
After the dust settled, King Zhang's horn came from the front, which was to gather the armored cavalry to continue charging.
The flag pointed to Li Zheng's army, which had lost its soul.
Hey, hey, it really hurts!
