Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Four: Said Down
Yao Changkun attacked the 40,000 Yizhou recruits led by 10,000 elite troops. Although he defeated the opponent, he did not suffer much losses. On the way to Xingling, he still maintained nearly 7,000.
The battle soldiers and thousands of baggage soldiers, but the problem is that their formation was too long at this time, and the team of more than 10,000 people dragged nearly ten miles long, and the baggage and weapons were far behind the main combat headquarters.
When the large-scale cavalry appeared, Yao Changkun immediately fell into despair.
"Storm up, rush up!" Yao Changkun had no other choice but to order the forward to launch a counter-charge towards the rushing cavalry without fear of death. He hoped to use this sacrifice to exchange for the main force behind him to have time to line up to fight.
, if you don’t seek time to form a formation in your own army at this state, you will definitely be unlucky under the impact of the cavalry.
Although he may not have a chance even if he is in an array, because at this time he lacks long-range strike weapons. With the bows and arrows in the hands of the soldiers, he may not be able to shoot two rounds, which will rush to come.
Even with such a plan, Yao Changkun did not realize it. The cavalry on the opposite side ignored the vanguard troops rushing up. Thousands of cavalry beautifully scored left and right in the charge, drew two arcs, and bypassed the rushing head-on.
The enemy killed himself and was chaotic behind him, who was trying to come to the array.
Cut in, divide, rush past, cut in, divide again, in an instant, the long dragon-like Yao tribe was cut into pieces, and the panicked soldiers ran around, but soon became ghosts under the swords of the cavalry.
.
Tan Haixin, who led the vanguard to launch a counter-charge, restrained the troops and turned around. The large army behind him was already terrible and had been completely dispersed. The cavalry were slaughtering the fleeing soldiers. He immediately stayed there and countered
If you rush up or arrange the array on the spot, you may be able to resist for a while in the battles later. If you rush up, it means that you will soon be reduced to the same end as your companions. One thousand
Yu Qianfeng's troops were in a dilemma for a while.
Yun Zhao didn't seem to see Tan Haixin behind him, leading a cavalry to attack the high-flying Yao flag.
Seeing that the black horse was like a nobody, rushing left and right, killing Yao Changkun's personal soldiers to a defeat, Tan Haixin finally pulled out his war horse and shouted loudly: "Go forward, kill back. Rescue the general!"
Hearing the roar behind him, Yun Zhao turned around and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Madian, which had been fighting fiercely for many days, suddenly became quiet. The Jian family army, who had been besieged in the city, withdrew. Yao Changkun, who came to rescue, also left for no reason. The road outside the city was smooth, except for the bloodstains on the ground and the burials that were not cleaned up.
There was nothing outside of the broken limbs and arms, and a wild dog walked by whimpering. He lowered his head and sniffed hard, and occasionally pulled it on the ground with his claws. Soon, the shallow buried corpses were dug out.
Huo Zhenting also had wounded soldiers who could go into battle, but there were only more than 3,000. Staying in the city, maybe he could still defend Madian. Once he left the city and encountered the enemy, he would have no power to fight at all.
Yao Changkun walked too fast, and Huo Zhenting was worried and he was even more unwilling to leave the city rashly.
Madian County spent two days in an extremely strange atmosphere.
On the third day, a fast horse came, holding the bright red flag of the Anqing border army in his hand. He inserted the flag under the city of Madian and roared away again. Huo Zhenting looked at the side that was fluttering in the wind under the city.
Anqing Daqi finally understood what happened. Ci County was destroyed and Xingling was in danger. This was the reason why Yao Changkun suddenly withdrew his troops.
Anqing Border Army!
Before he could come back from his shock, in his sight, teams of soldiers covered in armor rushed over from the direction of Guangchang, standing at the top of the city, watching Anqing's border troops move in the formation below the city, Huo Zhenting
My heart was full of misery. After all, can I escape the disaster?
There were about 5,000 border troops in Anqing who came to the city, but the murderous aura displayed by these 5,000 people was even far more than the tens of thousands of Jian's army led by Jian.
There are clouds in the army, elite troops are in a state of formation, and they can understand the military situation by observing the energy. Huo Zhenting spent many years in military affairs. At a glance, he lost his thoughts of defeating his opponents. Even if his troops are not damaged, he will be with him.
There is not necessarily a chance of victory in the matchup, not to mention that I am now a defeated soldier and my morale is extremely depressed.
"Ma joins the army, General Meng!" Wang Gui bowed to the ground, "General Huo Zhenting is also a rare general. Please allow Wang to enter the city and say that General Huo will not be damaged again. Once the war begins, there will be no more.
There is room for maneuver.”
Meng Yao smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, are you sure? Are you not afraid that as soon as you enter the city, Huo Zhenting will chop his head and die? I heard that Huo Zhenting and Wang Haogu have a good relationship, and Wang Haogu treats him like a brother.
generally."
Wang Gui looked miserable, "I went to the Anqing border army under the order of General Wang, but I repeatedly sent back the wrong messages, which made General Wang negligent and wrong judgments, so that he was defeated today. He was the one who deserved to die, even if he was
General Huo cut off, and I have no complaints."
Ma Yigong smiled and said, "Mr. Wang said this is a big mistake. Wang Haogu recognized the thief as his father, defected to the Mongolian people, led the Mongolian people into Yizhou, causing the lives of Yizhou to be devastated, and the deaths are everywhere. Such a person will not be forgiven even if he dies.
All the people of Dayue, who are killed by everyone, have given up on the darkness and turn to the light, why should you feel guilty about such a person? Even if this person can escape the temporary defeat, in my Dayue, countless loyal and righteous people
After going one after another, how long can he hold on?"
Wang Gui looked at Ma Yigong sideways, thinking that history is written by the winners, and it is all high-sounding. If your Anqing border army is truly loyal and righteous, why not join forces with the brief description to attack Wang together.
In ancient times, you even planned the brief description together. After all, isn’t it just for the territory?
This is what I said in my heart, but I can't say anything.
"Although General Huo is a remnant soldier, he is still fighting. He has a strong city as a basis for fighting. Even if the Anqing border army wins, it will inevitably pay a considerable price. I have made new contributions and have no achievements, so I am willing to do so.
The dog and horse are said to be the same as the three-inch unchaotic tongue. Although General Huo and Wang Hao are very close to each other, it is said that husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly together when the disaster comes, let alone brothers from subordinates.
Also, General Huo is not a regular person, he should be able to clarify the gains and losses."
Meng Yao nodded, "Mr. Wang said this well. Although I have the confidence to take down the Madian when fighting, if I can avoid letting my subordinates suffer losses, of course, it is better. Lord. Wang, then I will have a hard time. You go to the city, I
Cheer for you under the city.”
Huo Zhenting stood at the top of the city wall, and the soldiers were nervously preparing. Looking at the other party's stance, it seemed that the siege was about to begin.
The sound of the dongdong war drums finally sounded, and the array of Anqing border troops began to move. With the sound of war drums, the square formations of Anqing border troops began to move.
About hundreds of steps forward, the drums stopped suddenly, and several square arrays of Anqing border troops shouted together, and stopped together. Huo Zhenting was shocked and lined up, usually walking ten to twenty steps, and then stopped to reorganize the queue.
Those who can move forward fifty steps without being in chaos can already be called elite soldiers in the world, but the Anqing border army that he saw took more than a hundred steps forward, and the formation was not in chaos at all, which made Huo Zhenting unheard of.
"No wonder, after a battle, the 5,000 elite soldiers were gone!" Huo Zhenting murmured, looking back at the officers around him, all of them were also disgraceful.
"Prepare to fight to the death!" Huo Zhenting slowly pulled out his sword.
The drums stopped, and the Anqing border army stopped, but Huo Zhenting's expected attack did not launch. Instead, one man and one horse slowly emerged from the Anqing border army and walked straight to the city.
An officer pulled out his longbow and aimed at the man under the city.
"Slow!" Huo Zhenting suddenly reached out and pressed down the bow and arrow in the man's hand, "It looks like Lord Wang!"
"General Huo, I am Wang Gui. I have something to say to you, let me enter the city!" Wang Gui raised his head and shouted at the bottom of the city.
A small gap was opened by the Madian city gate. Wang Gui turned over and dismounted, squeezed in sideways, and the city gate closed tightly with a thud.
Under the city, although the Anqing border army did not continue to advance, the subsequent armament was arriving continuously. Seeing the Anqing border army's logistics troops busy assembling things, the faces of the soldiers on the city became increasingly
It was pale and most people were already trembling. It was a thunderbolt cannon that was not used when siegeing the city.
Although the thunderbolt cannon is powerful, it is too large and difficult to carry with the army. I don’t know what method the Anqing Bian army used. Some of the components of these thunderbolt cannons can be dismantled into small pieces and installed at any time, looking at the city.
In a moment, the thunder cannon was erected. Looking at the big and dozens of kilograms of stone bullets on the throwing arm, everyone understood that once the war started, Yimadian, a city wall that was not particularly thick, would not be able to stand many shots.
Will overturn.
The third battalion is stationed in Guangchang, and is naturally the first in the Anqing border army in terms of equipment. All officers above the lieutenant of the army are all wearing bright light armor, and ordinary soldiers are equipped with chain mail, standard equipment
Each soldier had a set of armor, a gun, a waist knife, and a short dagger. There were countless armies in various types. Meng Yao launched this time, but dragged out all the armies in Guangchang.
If Wang Gui said that the surrender could not be achieved, the Anqing border army would then use a thunderous blow to Madian. Assembling these things was mostly to put huge psychological pressure on the city.
On the city gate tower, Huo Zhenting listened to Wang Gui's story silently, and after a while, he said, "Is the situation actually broken down? If Lao Yao's soldiers could rush back to Xingling and defend Xingling, the prince could still go from Da County.
If you withdraw, isn’t there no chance to make a comeback?”
Wang Gui sighed: "Yun Zhao personally led the cavalry to intercept General Yao. General Yao was caught off guard. What's more terrible is that after this defeat, the prince has become the most vulnerable side in Yizhou. Those fence-bearing widows
If Yan is willing to serve the prince again, he will be punished one after another. General Huo, the situation is over. Now, you, you have to consider your future."
"Surrender to the Anqing border army?"
"Compared with a brief description of surrender, I think surrendering to the Anqing border army is a better choice. A brief description of surrender can only retire to the countryside, be a rich man, surrender to Yun Zhao, and we can continue to stay on this turbulent stage.
