Chapter 437: Accomplish all efforts in one battle (4)
"Shuai Yan, have you seen it? This is the army you captured temporarily. Although it seems to be menacing, it is just strong on the outside and weak on the inside." Haotian said to Yan Lege leisurely.
A flash of pain flashed in Yan Lege's eyes. The Bliss Army, which had once been so glorious that it caused all forces to flee in Qingfeng, had actually reached this point. It was like a paper tiger that could be broken by someone's touch. However, although the Bliss Holy Sect's thousands of troops
The defeat had its own reasons, but he still admired the bravery and skill of the Hetao army and the intelligence and talent of the generals.
Although the Hetao cavalry has the advantage in terms of strength, they are not reckless. Their attacks are quite strategic. The Hetao cavalry often concentrates their forces. As long as a hole is broken in the opponent's formation, the cavalry behind will
They swarmed in, constantly widening the gap. At this time, the Hetao cavalry often ignored life and death. Many times, many cavalry used their horses and bodies to directly hit the opponent's hastily arranged spear array.
, to open the way for the brothers behind. At this time, what is needed is not only courage, but more importantly, tacit understanding, cooperation, and trust.
The Hetao cavalry almost never attacked in a straight line, especially after they broke into the opponent's formation, they all followed an arc. The authorities are confused, but the bystanders know clearly. Yan Lege stood on the tall sentry tower, watching the movements of the Hetao cavalry.
Arc, Yan Lege couldn't help but marvel. Not only did they cleverly avoid the opponent's heavily defended spear position, but they also avoided exposing their weak points to the opponent's attack range. However, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the Hetao
The generals were actually able to see the loopholes in the opponent's formation in such a short period of time and break through before the opponent blocked it. No wonder they were able to gain the upper hand when facing the elite cavalry of the three Northeastern countries.
After breaking through the opponent's formation, the Hetao cavalry continued to drive the broken soldiers to attack the opponent's next line of defense. In this way, it not only caused a certain amount of chaos to the opponent, but also had a free death squad, which could also reduce the pressure on one's own side.
losses. Many times, the opponent's defense line was not destroyed by the Hetao cavalry, but was scattered by our own broken troops.
After the Hetao Cavalry breaks into the opponent's formation, regardless of whether they have a strength advantage, they will create a strength advantage in local areas, and then use the method of driving away the opponent's skirmishers to continuously expand the opponent's chaos to block the troops and the opponent.
The connection between the command system will surround and divide the enemy forces that have been left behind, causing the opponent to collapse in chaos.
"Hetao, it is true that famous generals and heroes are constantly emerging in large numbers." Yan Lege took a deep breath and said. He had always been worried about his defeat at the hands of Hetao, but when he was completely separated from the battlefield, he watched the Hetao as a bystander.
When the cavalry performed, I truly discovered the power of the Loop.
Yan Lege was a little surprised: "King Jingbei, isn't it true that killing with blood and worshiping someone is not a famous general or a hero?"
Haotian curled his lips: "Shuai Yan, it seems that you are not clear about something. In the civil war, no one is qualified to be called a general, and no one is qualified to be called a hero. In front of his own people, he kills without missing a beat and is decisive.
What kind of famous generals and heroes are they? Whether they are famous generals or heroes, their merits are based on defending the country and protecting the country. They are worshiped like bloody murders. The reason why they are called famous generals and heroes is not because
They beat you, the Holy Sect of Paradise, without the ability to fight back, but because their achievements are all based on the battles with the surrounding foreign races. Commander Yan can think about this carefully. Oh, Dugu's infantry is also preparing to attack across the board.
!”
Before Yan Lege could digest the meaning of Haotian's words, he heard the thunder of drums under the sentry tower. Dugu had already raised the Yanling Saber in his hand high, with a solemn expression but an extremely fanatical look in his eyes.
"Brothers, it's time for dinner! Don't let the brothers of the cavalry take all the credit!" Dugu's slogan was so speechless that even Haotian, who was fighting side by side with Yan Lege on the sentry post, felt a little bit
Shameful.
However, what makes Yan Lege strange is that although the Hetao infantry launched an all-out attack on a three-mile-long front, the soldiers did not run very fast. They just maintained a trot. The distance between the two soldiers in each row was
It's a little far away, and if it's a dense charge, at least two people can stand in the middle.
"Just watch." Haotian said with a smile.
When the infantry in Hetao, led by Dugu, approached the already chaotic front army of the Holy Sect of Paradise, Yan Lege realized how terrifying this formation was. The cavalry in Hetao had completely crushed the formation here, and they were killing them with murderous intent.
Although there are a lot of Paradise soldiers left in the central army and even the rear army of the Holy Cult of Paradise, their structure has been completely broken up by the cavalry, and now they are all like headless flies. The orderly advancement of the Hetao infantry is like
A huge comb completely combed through the remaining soldiers of the Holy Sect of Paradise. As long as they were in front of them, there would be no loopholes left at all. And such a sparse formation could not only prevent the soldiers in the front from fighting hard at the back
The situation where the soldiers were enjoying the cool weather was also conducive to the rapid advance of the infantry, and they wrapped all the opponent's remnants of the army in their own infantry formation and strangled them from all directions. After the Hetao army passed, the place where the Ji Le front army was at the beginning was no longer there.
A standing blissful soldier. They are like a razor, shaving this area cleanly.
"The Holy Sect of Paradise has been defeated. Oh, look, your Majesty is preparing to grease the soles of his feet again." Haotian said with great interest.
Yan Lege ignored the situation on the battlefield, just turned his head and looked at Haotian's side face and said: "His Royal Highness King Jingbei, why do you have to tell me so much, why do you spare my life?"
Haotian said calmly: "Because, among the Holy Sect of Paradise, you are the only general whose hands have not been stained with the blood of innocent people, and you are also the only general who ordered soldiers who disturbed the people to die. Just for the hundreds of thousands of people who were once protected by you.
People, I must spare your life. As for another reason, even the bloody murder of Dugu personally begged me for mercy. Even those who learned the news wrote to me, saying that you, Yan Lege, are the Holy Bliss.
To teach the last man is to take care of the common people as much as possible. One of them is my wife's adopted father, one is my wife's adopted brother, and the other is my younger brother who I grew up with, and he is also my good brother who lives and dies together.
, I must give them a face."
Yan Lege said in a deep voice: "Then what does the prince want me to do?"
"After this battle, we will return to Hetao and prepare to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun next year. The impact of this battle will definitely not be small. Not only the Northeastern Three Kingdoms, but also the Eastern Japanese Dynasty and the Northwest Tribe will be involved. You
Yan Lege can be regarded as a rare strong general, and I think that is where you can truly demonstrate your abilities."
Yan Lege smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I have ulterior motives?"
Haotian twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "I believe in my own vision, and I also believe in the vision of Xueshuai and others. I also believe that you, Yan Lege, are a strong-willed and passionate man. But to be honest, a general of your level
, I can count the number of Loops in my hands. I didn’t even take you to heart when you were one of the Four Famous Generals of Paradise, let alone now?”
"Two hands?" Yan Lege felt like he was being despised.
"Except for one of the five generals under my command who you have never seen, the other four have a record of fighting with you. What do you think of them?"
"They are very strong. I am indeed not as good as them." Yan Lege said honestly.
"What about Princess Qingcheng, Jiang Chenzhou and Zhan Shutang? Have you ever fought against these three people?"
Yan Lege thought for a while and said again: "It's a little inferior, especially Princess Qingcheng's cavalry. Of course, there are also reasons for the types of troops."
Haotian smiled heartily: "In addition to the frontier commander, our remaining generals in Hetao also have senior officials who guard three fronts respectively. Situ Lie, Chun Jian Shang and Li Xiao, the talents of these three people are not inferior to Jiang Shenzhou's three.
Well, Lu Zhen is the boy who took the lead in breaking through Lu Dajun’s defense line in the first battle at Yunlaoshan. I’m afraid he’s on par with you.”
Yan Beige thought about it carefully and realized that what Haotian said was indeed true. Although he had never met Li Xiao and the others, Li Xiao showed his military talent in the battle at Wangjin Ferry. Since then, he has been guarding the Yinfeng Mountains, forcing Song Dynasty to
The Li family had to garrison heavy troops here, so he should be a very good general. Chunjian Shangshang guards Jiayuguan Pass, and Situ Lie guards Yumen Pass. Without these two brushes, they will definitely not be able to deal with the provocations from surrounding forces. It was just what Haotian said.
, he was a little frustrated. Hetao is indeed a gathering of talents. I wish my eldest brother and the others good luck.
Haotian's words moved Yan Lege's heart. As a soldier, what he longed for most was to protect the country and the people and expand the territory. Neither of these could be achieved in the Holy Sect of Paradise. The former Yan Lege had already been in Yunlao Mountain
He died on the battlefield in the first battle. Now Yan Lege should be a brand new individual who lives for the dignity of the nation and the glory of the military. Recovering his homeland and sending troops to the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, isn't that what he has always wanted?
In the end, Cheng Xianqing's army was not left behind in the Hetao. When the infantry in the Hetao began to attack, Zhu Zhao realized that something was wrong. He had seen the joint strangulation tactics of the infantry and cavalry in the Hetao more than once, and its power was absolutely unparalleled. If the troops of both sides were strong,
Similarly, if his Zhu Zhao Army is considered complete, then it is not without the capital to fight. But now our formation is completely chaotic, and it is impossible to organize an effective resistance. Under such circumstances, if you continue to hold on, you may accidentally fall.
There is a danger of the whole army being annihilated.
Cheng Xianqing, who was full of confidence at first, was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat after seeing the rapid collapse of Ke Danzhong's 50,000-strong army and the performance of Qin Mang's 30,000-strong soldiers. He now finally has some understanding of his situation.
.If he wins, then Hetao can rely on the protection of elite cavalry to retreat easily and then change the route to Danzhou. But if he loses, the cavalry in Hetao will definitely not let him go, at least on such a large plain.
, Cheng Xianqing was not confident that his two legs could run faster than his four legs.
At this time, Cheng Xianqing finally understood that Minghui's proposal was correct, and that he was indeed a little too optimistic. As a result, his optimism was too unrealistic. But it is useless to say anything now. Naturally, he is ready to pack up and leave.
.
The Holy Sect of Paradise packed at least 300 carts with the gold and silver jewels they robbed from Tiandu Shengjing. Now that Cheng Xianqing was running away in a hurry, it was naturally impossible to take all the jewels away. But he really couldn't bear to leave them all, so Cheng Xianqing
They called all the more than 2,000 remaining cavalrymen over. The backs of each horse were covered with jewels. Then they picked up some valuables and took them with them. Under Zhu Zhao's arrangement, they were ready to leave.
Since the establishment of the Holy Sect of Paradise, Zhu Zhao has recorded several retreats when fighting against Hetao. Regarding retreats, Zhu Zhao has really reached the level of proficiency. This point, whether it is Haotian or Xuesha, everyone knows
I admire Zhu Zhao's level very much.
The ones who were left behind this time were Ke Danzhong and Qin Mang's 80,000 soldiers plus another 20,000 troops. However, Ke Danzhong's 50,000 soldiers were basically dispersed, and now there are less than 30,000 soldiers left. Qin Mang's
The situation was better, but the formation of 30,000 infantrymen had been strangled to pieces by the Hetao infantry cavalry. Fortunately, Zhu Zhao added 20,000 soldiers in time, which was able to temporarily maintain Qin Mang's battle line.
"Thirty miles to the northeast is Xialing County, where Pingshuai's 50,000-strong army is stationed." Zhu Zhao said in a deep voice: "But along the way, it's up to you, Mingshuai. We can get out of the way.
, pass directly through the field, so that the opponent cannot take advantage of their cavalry."
Minghui breathed a sigh of relief, said nothing, and just nodded silently.
"What we can gather now, Minghui, is that your 100,000-strong legion is intact. The Wuyan legion is 80,000, and my commander's legion still has 70,000. As long as we abandon all the baggage, it only takes two hours for us to
We can reach Xialing County. Commander Ping will naturally come to pick us up when the time comes." Zhu Zhao continued: "The Wuyan legion is at the front to open the way, my legion is in the middle, and His Majesty, the National Preceptor and others are also in my legion.
I will be in charge, Commander-in-Chief, and your legions will cover you. Do you have any requirements?"
"No." Minghui shook his head. He naturally knew that this task would not work. The large number of cavalry in Hetao could not cross the fields to rob and kill him, but there was no problem with a small group of cavalry harassing and pursuing him. But at this critical moment, he
It’s hard to say anything else. Shifting the blame is not his Minghui character.
After taking a look at the camp of the Hetao army, Minghui sighed silently in his heart: "I'm afraid this entire army will have to be handed over here this time."
The retreat of the Holy Bliss Sect had been expected by Hetao. It was not that Haotian was so confident in defeating the Holy Bliss Sect, but that Zhu Zhao had always had a hobby of cutting off his tail and running away. When he saw that the form of the Holy Bliss Sect was wrong, he
Xue Sha and Feng Jing began to pay attention.
Before Ke Danzhong and Qin Mang knew about it, Zhu Zhao had already decided to leave them behind.
Hundreds of various carriages formed an irregular prototype defense position. The outermost part was a tall carriage filled with grain and grass houses. Because there were grain and other heavier objects inside the carriage, it could effectively resist
During the attack of the Hetao cavalry, the archers could stay in the carriage and shoot arrows through the carriage's window. The carriages were connected end to end and all were locked together with iron chains.
The Holy Sect of Paradise started out as infantry. Although they had almost no cavalry, they did not underestimate the combat effectiveness of cavalry. Especially when the Holy Sect of Paradise was trying to dominate the world at the beginning, they even considered the issue of cavalry. However, it was not easy to import war horses.
, and even Zhu Zhao among the Holy Sect of Paradise was not good at cavalry combat, so the formation of cavalry ultimately came to nothing. However, the Holy Sect of Paradise still wanted to come up with some tricks to deal with the cavalry.
Just like this car formation, it can be regarded as one of the main methods of the Holy Bliss Sect. After they complete the layout of the car formation, it will be difficult to open a gap unless the opponent forces a breakthrough regardless of damage.
The circle formed by Qin Mang and Ke Danzhong is not small, at least there are more than 40,000 soldiers crowded in it. Of course, there are at least 20,000 Ji Le soldiers outside the car formation, but they have basically been broken up and are now either fleeing in all directions.
, or simply throw away their weapons and sit on the ground to surrender. Most of these people are not veterans of the Holy Sect of Paradise. If they are veterans, they should understand that the Hetao will never leave any prisoners of the Holy Sect of Paradise.
. Basically every time after a battle between Hetao and the Holy Sect of Paradise, the battle record showed zero prisoners.
