Watching the fireworks explode in the night, Fang Jue felt extremely beautiful.
Fortunately, it was night, so the color of the blood could not be seen, and the broken limbs and broken bodies were flying around, but there was a hazy mysterious beauty.
Okay, it's suspense.
"boom……"
It is not that easy for the cavalry to retreat. The cavalry in the rear must retreat before the cavalry in the front can retreat.
Otherwise, if they are crowded together and their own people are trampled to death, the loss will be too great.
At this time when the Beiliang cavalry turned back, the firearms battalion seized the time to output, and phantoms fell down one after another under the hazy moonlight.
"Stop the bows and arrows." Fang Jue ordered. The Beiliang cavalry had already exceeded the optimal shooting range of the bows and arrows. It would be a waste to shoot any more.
The rain of arrows stopped, allowing the Beiliang cavalry to take a breather. They also fired arrows back, but with little success.
"The whole army is pressing forward, move slowly, and the formation cannot change." Fang Jue said.
…
"Fell into a trap!"
"Xia's army actually left the river valley early and has already deployed on the shore."
"I have an ominous premonition. Since Fang Jue is prepared, why didn't he see the Xia army's cavalry?"
"Kill!"
Just when the two generals of Hanzhou and Linzhou were running and wondering, they heard the sound of hoofbeats that were different from those of Beiliang's war horses.
Because all the war horses in Daxia are horseshoeed.
"There's someone upstream!" a sergeant shouted.
It's almost before our eyes, even if the moonlight is hazy, the blind man should be able to see it.
"Line up, hurry up!" General Linzhou was shocked.
The cavalry's attack in neat formation is much stronger than that of wandering around. It can cut a bloody path directly through the infantry army. But when facing the cavalry who are not in formation, this kind of impact is also very fatal.
The Beiliang cavalry, who were turning back and fleeing, faced this scene and immediately organized an attack.
Unfortunately, they reacted too slowly, and in the panic of fleeing, they had no time to respond when the cavalry from the Liangzhou and Lizhou battalions rushed towards them.
"Qiang Qiang——"
Ma Shan, the long spear faced Bei Liang's saber without any effort, and the advantageous speed brought up pieces of blood.
With just one contact, hundreds of Beiliang cavalry fell. A large number of cavalry rushed into the chaotic military formation of Beiliang, charging rampantly and destroying everything.
Many people were knocked away directly. They did not see the Xia army cavalry rushing towards them, so they and their horses turned over and were trampled to death by their own people.
"We are out of the range of firearms attacks, kill this group of Xia Army cavalry!"
The continuous losses made the Lord Linzhou lose his mind and insisted on venting his anger.
General Hanzhou was more sober and reminded: "Hurry back and join the rear army. I'm worried that someone from them has already made a surprise attack on my rear!"
"What?" Lord General Linzhou couldn't believe it.
If this is the case, the infantry in the rear will have no power to fight back when faced with a large number of cavalry.
The only infantry in Beiliang that can resist the cavalry is the Liangwu soldiers in the East China Sea. The other infantry are equipped with ordnance and cannot resist the cavalry.
Even the light cavalry are unstoppable as long as they charge into the formation together.
Unless there are a large number of resisting horses that can be used as a surprise attack, how could the Beiliang army prepare so many resisting horses when they are ambushing here.
"The Xia army has about 30,000 people. The firearms in front are only infantry. There are at least 15,000 cavalry. Less than 5,000 people have shown up now."
"That's not good!"
"Why didn't the people guarding the dam upstream come to provide support?" Someone thought of this.
"Someone must have stopped them!"
…
Upper North Shore.
Wei Ran ordered people to wrap the horses' hooves so that the sound of the horses' hooves was not exposed. He led three thousand cavalry to reach ten miles away from the dam.
"General, there are cavalry coming from the front." A scout came back to report.
"How many people?" Wei Ran asked.
"There are more people than us," the scout said seriously. "It should be more than three thousand and less than four thousand."
"The general is really right. It's not enough for these people to open the gate. They also want to surprise our army from the north... kill them immediately. General Sun is not far away. Send a signal immediately."
"Run the horse up and pierce them from the side!" Wei Ran got on the horse, raised his horse, and shouted, "Kill!"
"call out--"
As the scouts released a red flare, Sun Yi, who had already arrived at his position, also led a group of cavalry to fight out from the right side of the Beiliang Army.
In an instant, the attacks from both sides made this group of Beiliang cavalry unable to defend themselves, and the battle was about to break out.
The attacking Beiliang cavalry were naturally not in uniform formation, and were immediately divided into three parts by a prepared attack. They started to counterattack in a panic.
"kill!"
Wei Ran was like a killing god, and Sun Yi was even more brave. There was no enemy under his saber, and the team of Beiliang cavalry were stunned and stunned.
"It's Xia Jun, rush out!"
Being attacked in the dark and without a numerical advantage, the general leading the army naturally did not want to fight alone.
"Go to the north and meet the army!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Yi was already in front of him.
The sword fell, but he couldn't resist it, and was cut off his horse in a few rounds.
"Kill!" Sun Yi, who had beheaded the enemy general, raised his sword and slashed across the enemy, and he started to kill in the crowd.
Wei Ran was stunned. In terms of bravery alone, he suddenly felt that he was not as good as Sun Yi.
"Behead all the enemies. No need to record the merits yet. Return to the north bank to support. Hurry!" Wei Ran shouted.
Only then did Sun Yi come back to his senses. He was so excited to kill that he actually forgot about it.
…
The baggage and grain carts were placed behind them, and the army advanced to approach most of the Beiliang cavalry.
Fang Jue rode on the horse and raised "01", but then put it down helplessly.
"It's still dark, so I can't see clearly..."
If he had a clear vision, he would not hesitate to shoot the leading general directly.
The one who kills the enemy general first on the battlefield is sure of victory.
No matter how elite the soldier is, he will definitely be panicked once his general is killed in battle.
Now the Beiliang cavalry is already trying to retreat. If the general dies again, they will really become a rabble.
"Lin Bei led 3,000 people, Sun Yi and Wei Ran led 6,000 people, Fan Ji and Dong Gui led 3,000 people..."
Fang Jue calculated that there were a total of 12,000 cavalry, and they were all sent out this time.
However, it is not that there is no available force. There are more horses than cavalry. Although some were left in Shuangzhou along the way, they can still gather 2,000 men.
It's just that these two thousand are not professional cavalry, they are soldiers who can ride horses and were established in a short period of time.
As for the function...
"Release the Jia soldiers." Fang Jue said calmly.
It's time to break the last hope of the Beiliang Army.
…
"Where are the garrison troops at the upstream dam? Why haven't they come to support you yet?" Linzhou General said bitterly.
General Hanzhou has been separated from him. On the huge battlefield, the two armies are fighting in chaos, and the figures are so confusing that they often misjudge their own people.
After the Xia army penetrated them, they turned back and showed no temper despite repeated provocations.
"Sorry, General, the brothers behind have suffered heavy casualties, and Xia Jun's firearms are slowly approaching!"
"Spread out, let's see how he chases us in the huge snowfield!" General Hanzhou ordered through gritted teeth.
Unable to quickly kill the Xia Army cavalry that rushed in, the rear was blocked, and they could only watch as fire, thunder and lead bullets continued to kill the sergeants.
Only three quarters after the battle started, nearly 10,000 cavalry and combat-ready personnel were slowing down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This time the Xia army's cavalry are not trying hard to attack. They just want to contain us and keep the firearms in the rear close and constantly consumed. Get out quickly!"
"withdraw……"
"Spread out, they can't catch us!"
Because they were concerned about the north, neither General Linzhou nor General Hanzhou dared to delay any longer.
They knew the approximate strength of Xia's army, and scouts along the way had already investigated it clearly, but most of the cavalry suddenly disappeared.
A sense of panic hangs in the hearts of all Beiliang soldiers.
Until they saw a large group of cavalry coming upstream of the Lin River.
"It's not our cavalry stationed at the dam. Move quickly and don't get entangled!"
The Beiliang cavalry began to escape, but the battlefield was not that spacious. The cavalry in the north could still escape toward the northwest, but the cavalry in the rear could not catch up.
"Don't pursue them, trap them within the attack range of the firearm camp!" Wei Ran, who was in front of the Beiliang cavalry who had killed them, said to Sun Yi.
Sun Yizheng wanted to rush in and kill them, but when he saw that thousands of cavalry had fled, he also wanted to pursue them.
But after hearing Wei Ran's words, he regained his senses and said, "Okay!"
Nearly six thousand cavalrymen drove through, completely cutting off the Beiliang cavalry who had escaped from the Beiliang cavalry who could not escape from the rear!
"No!" The intercepted cavalryman felt bad.
"Surrender without killing!" Fan Ji shouted.
Dong Gui, the deputy general of the Liangzhou camp, also shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"
The firearms camp is also further forward.
Lieutenant General Hanzhou who was intercepted gritted his teeth: "Rush back, Fang Jue is behind the firearms camp, we will win if we catch him!"
The people of Beiliang were arrogant and unwilling to surrender when faced with the thin soldiers of Daxia, thinking it would be a shame.
As long as the generals don't give in, they will naturally not be willing to give up easily.
"Kill it!"
This really aroused everyone's desire to fight back, and the cavalry group suddenly reined in their horses and turned back, heading towards the firearms camp.
"Looking for death..." Fang Jue saw this scene and said to Wei Feng and Zheng Jun, "Let one of you go, and I will deduct the military merit of one of your heads."
"ah?"
The two of them stared at the charging Beiliang cavalry with their eyes wide open.
"Die!" Both of them turned red-eyed.
At the same time, the Jiajia cavalry slowly walked out from the side of the firearms camp, frightening the approaching Beiliang army as soon as they appeared.
"Black Dragon Rider?"
"Run!" The Beiliang cavalry, who just wanted to fight back, invariably wanted to rein in their horses, but the horses behind them had already galloped towards them, and they collided with each other as they reined in their horses. This chapter has been completed!
