Among the Haixi cavalry, Jin Zongwu's complexion finally improved a little, while deputy general Jin Deshan secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead. The sneak attack of his cavalry seemed to hit the steel plate. Not only did it not achieve the initial goal,
The intended purpose, and the head-on collision was bloody. Just by breaking through the opponent's cavalry defense line, he lost more than 3,000 cavalry. Although 3,000 cavalry is still insignificant compared to 30,000 cavalry, Jin Deshan's heart still remains
A bad premonition arose. Just looking at Jin Zongwu's livid expression, he still wisely ordered the soldiers to step up the attack.
"Your Highness, the Hetao infantry can no longer withstand it. Their defense line has been broken through by us. I believe victory is not far away." Jin Deshan breathed a sigh of relief and said happily.
Jin Zongwu heaved a deep breath: "That's good. Tell the soldiers to work harder, and I will be rewarded by the prince when the time comes."
Jin Dake, the commander of Jin Zongwu's personal guards, said with a flattering smile: "Prince, Haotian from Hetao is among the team now. If we can kill or even capture Haotian alive, then you, the prince, who has made such great contributions, will go back after you return."
, but that’s it.”
Jin Zongwu was overjoyed when he heard this, and the livid face turned into joy in an instant. The three brothers who were qualified to inherit the throne in Haixi were the three brothers. Jin Zongbiao was a famous general in the three Northeastern countries, even from the Baijing Dynasty.
Heji Mu'er was a little wary of him. Among the Haixi military, Jin Zongbiao had a very high prestige, just like the military generals Jin Qiliang and Jin Wuzhong, all of whom only followed Jin Zongbiao's lead. And Jin Zongbiao had a very high prestige.
Han, this poor prince has been sent to the central and northern part of Haixi to guard the local Abate and ethnic minorities because he does not please King Haixi. Now, the only one who can compete with him for the throne is Jin Zongbiao.
.
If I catch Haotian now, then I, who has made such great achievements, can completely overtake my elder brother's achievements. Then wouldn't I be the next king of Haixi? Well, if I become the king, then the next king will be myself.
The first one to be killed is Jin Zongbiao, otherwise with his prestige in the army, he will definitely become a big problem in the future. The second one is his uncle Jin Meiliu. If he is not removed, he will not be at ease even if he sits on the throne.
However, before that, the tens of thousands of Hetao infantry in front of them must be eliminated, and their leader Haotian must be killed.
"Jin Deshan, you personally organize the attack. You must completely defeat the opponent in this round of attack!" Mr. Jin said proudly.
Jin Deshan secretly complained that the fighting power of the Hetao army was so fierce. Even if they were already in trouble, their desperate counterattack was still amazing. Now his side only has the upper hand, and there is still some way to completely defeat the opponent.
If you rush forward now, in the melee, who cares whether you are a general or a soldier, you might accidentally die under the knife of a soldier.
However, since Jin Zongwu had an order, as a deputy general, he did not dare to disobey the order, so he could only pretend to be impassioned and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, my subordinates will go and take off Haotian's head for you."
Jin Zongwu laughed: "Okay, you are worthy of being my prince's right-hand general. Take Haotian's head, and I will remember you!"
Although Jin Deshan spoke impassionedly, he had already made up his mind in his heart. When the time came, he would squat behind the army. If he had merit, he would grab it, and if there was danger, he would get out of the way.
Compared with Jin Zongwu's satisfaction, Xuanji is also full of confidence. The walls of the carriage are all covered with spears. Once the Haixi cavalry approaches the carriage, they will definitely hit their heads and bleed. And the carriage is loaded with weapons.
It was filled with heavy stones, and all the carriages had been connected together with iron chains. Even the galloping horses could only shake the carriages when they hit the carriages, but they were unable to break through the defense line of the Hetao infantry.
Xuanji smiled faintly: "Tell Mu Shan and Lu Zhen to put two gaps in where they are. Let the Haixi cavalry rush in. If you don't give them two candied dates, how can they drain the last drop?
Blood. Put some of it in first, and then plug the gap again."
The soldiers hurriedly went to deliver the order. But when they came back, they brought Jiang Shenzhou with them.
"General Jiang, your current task is to organize the defense in front. Is there anything that requires you to come here in person?" Xuanji asked with some displeasure.
Jiang Chenzhou said quickly: "Commander, please rest assured, there will be no problems with Lu Zhen commanding the car array. My subordinates came here to ask the military counselor, when will our cavalry be dispatched?"
When Xuanji heard this, the unhappiness on his face disappeared. After Xue Qingcheng took away 60,000 cavalry, now the only remaining cavalry in Hetao were Haotian's 2,000 personal guards. And these two thousand cavalry had been alone during the day.
In the defensive battle at Jiaoshan, more than 200 casualties have been lost. In order to counterattack the Paradise Alliance, Luo Xiang took away another thousand elite cavalry. Now only about 700 cavalry are still capable of combat. And when the battle began, Xuanji did not use these
Several hundred cavalrymen. Jiang Chenzhou understood Xuanji's thoughts, and naturally knew that Xuanji wanted to use the most elite cavalry where they were most needed. However, there was no movement from Xuanji, so he came here to inquire.
"Wait a minute, we have too few cavalry. If we charge forward now, there won't be enough for the enemy to eat them in one bite." Xuanji shook his head and said.
Jiang Chenzhou rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment: "Commander, when the cavalry attacks, you must not forget your subordinates."
Xuanji smiled slightly: "Don't worry, this job is yours, and you can never run away. You used to be the commander of the lord's personal soldiers, and you were closer to them. And Lu Zhenmushan was an infantry commander. Now he is under the command of Commander-in-Chief Xin Shuai and
Mistress Qingcheng is not around, but you must not capsize in the gutter, otherwise I will not be able to explain to the lord." In fact, Jiang Chenzhou is not the most suitable candidate, he is already injured, and his honor
The army has always been dominated by infantry. However, there are no suitable cavalry generals at all. Zhan Shutang, the only one who can take on such an important task, has followed Xue Qingcheng northward. There is nothing we can do about it.
Jiang Chenzhou hurriedly beat his chest loudly and said with a smile on his face: "Commander, please don't worry. If my Zhan Shu Tang disappoints you, military counselor, then you can just twist off my head and use it as a chamber pot."
Xuanji rolled his eyes at him: "You can keep it for yourself, I don't need such an ugly chamber pot."
Jiang Chenzhou shrank his neck and got back to his defensive line.
As for the Hetao infantry, the main ones responsible for defense are Lu Zhen and Mushan. These imperial veterans who have followed Bian Chongxing for more than ten years are Bian Chongxing's four confidants, especially Lu Zhen, the smartest among the four.
He is deeply impressed by Bian Zhongxing's defensive skills. Jiang Shenzhou is also one of the oldest generals in the Hetao, and has participated in almost all the battles in the Hetao since he was established in Dingzhou. The combat effectiveness of the Honorary Army he led has always been the highest among the infantry. But the mystery is today
Obviously he was preparing to see what Lu Zhen and Mu Shan were capable of, so his performance was not very outstanding.
Although the soldiers in the Hetao here suffer a greater loss in terms of arms, they are all the elites of the Hetao. Even if they encounter the same number of Haixi cavalry in a fair way in the wilderness, they can still block the opponent's attack.
What's more, there are still car formations for protection? However, Lu Zhen and Mu Shan both understand Xuanji's idea. He just wants to turn these car formations into blood grooves and eventually drain the blood of the Hercynian cavalry. And they are now
That's exactly what is done.
Lu Zhen stood in the car formation with a serious face, his eyes sharp and profound: "How many cavalry have come in?"
"It should be two thousand." The soldier asked before replying.
Lu Zhen nodded: "Okay, seal the gap immediately. I, the general, are going to dismount the cavalry here."
"Yes!" the soldier replied solemnly.
The gap that had been opened slowly closed again under the attack from both sides of the Hetao soldiers. The two thousand Haixi cavalry who rushed into the car formation rushed in to attack excitedly thinking that victory was imminent.
Under the leadership of Jin Deshan, with the bright torches they raised that had not yet been extinguished, everyone gasped. This car formation was full of messy horse traps of different depths. And in the car formation,
In the center, there is a car formation that is several sizes smaller. However, all the carriages have a lot of spears strapped to the outside. Their defensive performance is much tighter than the car formation that I and others just broke through. And
In the innermost part of the car formation, in the dim night, there was a flag fluttering faintly. It was obvious that this was where Haotian was.
The gap has been closed, and it is impossible to rush out. And Lu Zhen has mobilized his troops to surround the cavalry from both sides. Although the speed of advance is not fast, and their footsteps are louder than those who are shouting fiercely outside.
The shouts of killing were not proportional at all, but the two thousand cavalrymen who descended from Jin De Mountain felt a chill from head to toe.
Jin Deshan looked at his surroundings and finally gritted his teeth: "Brothers, if you kill one, you can make a profit by killing two. Haotian is in the middle carriage. Only by killing Haotian can we have a chance to survive.
Rush!"
Lu Zhen smiled coldly: "I don't know whether to live or die!" Since he dared to let the Haixi cavalry in, he naturally had ways to deal with the Haixi soldiers. The messy horse traps of different depths had completely restricted the speed and mobility of the cavalry, especially
In such darkness, even if they hold torches in their hands, it is impossible to illuminate the ground as brightly as during the day. When the cavalry charges in such terrain, nine times out of ten, the horse's legs will be broken and both the man and the horse will fall.
On the ground.
And because the Haixi cavalry still held torches, it was more convenient for the archers hidden in the night to shoot as much as they wanted. The foot-long dragon-thorn spears of the infantry on both sides attacked easily, while easily assassinating the opponent's cavalry.
Be able to ensure your own safety as much as possible.
Under Lu Zhen's strict arrangement, the Haixi cavalry had not rushed a third of the distance, but at least a thousand cavalry had fallen. However, at this time, the Haixi cavalry was also red-eyed, and they would have to retreat anyway.
If you die, you will die if you stop, and if you advance, you will die, so it is better to rush forward and give it a good fight. If you are lucky enough to be able to kill Haotian in the middle, then it will be all worth it.
