Chapter 7 The confusion of the generals of the Central Plains Department
Luo Youdu had been watching the battlefield, watching the Xuanwei Army's outstanding performance, and greatly praised it.
Even without the internal support of Yao Neibin, Waqiao Pass could not stop them.
The Xuanwei Army did have some heroic demeanor when it came to attacking fortresses.
At this moment, the pupils in Luo Youdu's eyes shrank, and three plumes of wolf smoke rose in the sky to the northwest of him.
This is the way he and Shu Yuan agreed,
It’s just that the smoke actually came from the northwest!
Luo Youdu didn't care to think about it and ordered people to light up the beacon.
The same three plumes of pitch-black smoke rose straight into the sky.
Yao Neibin had been paying attention to the actions ahead. When he saw the smoke rising, he took out a piece of red cloth from his chest and tied it on his left arm.
He strode towards the tower opposite.
Xiao Wei faced the Xuanwei Army's full attack,
Extremely stressful.
As Xiao Siwen's eldest son, Xiao Wei's treatment and status were different. Most of his soldiers were Khitans, who were indeed brave and good at fighting, but mostly engaged in riding and shooting.
In such a close-range hand-to-hand fight, the Khitans were really no match for the Zhou soldiers who were skilled in fighting.
Just relying on the advantage of defending the city, they barely withstood the attack.
Xiao Wei stood on the front line and fought hard, and his physical strength was too much. When he saw Yao Neibin approaching, he ignored the complaints in his heart and said: "Mr. Yao, help me block it for a while."
Yao Neibin came to Xiao Kaiyin's side, without saying a word, he raised his hand and hit Xiao Kaiyin hard on the head with the hilt of his sword, who was breathing heavily.
Xiao Wei didn't react at all and collapsed directly to the ground.
Yao Neibin held up his horse-cutting sword and shouted: "We are all Chinese people.
Brothers, follow me to kill the Khitan bandits.
Welcome the king's troops into the city."
He held the horse-killing sword in both hands and slashed left and right, knocking down the Khitan soldiers who had not yet reacted like chopping melons and vegetables.
This Yao Chong was originally brave, but he had been wronged by the Khitan. At this moment, he not only wanted to vent his anger, but also wanted to earn enough money to serve the new master. He slashed at the Khitan soldiers beside him crazily, killing thirteen of them in one go.
people.
The Khitan soldiers were more afraid of death than the Central Plains soldiers, so they dispersed in a panic.
Yao Neibin's cronies also opened the front city gate the moment Yao Neibin took action.
"Go for it!"
Luo Youdu took a look, and Hu Yanzan, who was beside him and was eager to try, said.
With Luo Youdu's approval, the first tiger general of the Royal Camp Division followed Dang Jin and rushed into Waqiao Pass.
They ignored the soldiers in the pass and rushed towards the Khitan army camp north of Waqiao Pass.
**********
At this time, behind the Khitan Army, the Chinese military camp had become a mess. Although the momentum of thousands of horses charging into the camp had slowed down, facing the situation of bombing the camp and facing the situation of the commander escaping early, the Khitan Army could only rely on their numerical advantage to defeat the enemy.
In the chaotic battle, he was able to withstand Shu Yuan's offensive.
Huang Wei is the infantry commander of Youdu Prefecture and is one of the few Khitan generals still commanding.
Huang Wei held a bloody sword in his hand and led the war team in roaring: "If you dare to retreat in front of the battle, you will be killed without mercy!"
The blood of Zhan Dao does not belong to the enemy, and he has not yet dealt with Shu Yuanbu.
In the moment of turmoil in the army, this veteran general who was not well treated in the Khitan army chopped down more than 20 Khitan soldiers in one breath. Regardless of whether they were Khitan, Han or Xi people, as long as they brought turmoil to the military camp, he would just kill them with one knife.
account.
With this bold attack, a large area of the camp was stabilized.
Huang Wei looked at the wave of strange soldiers in front of him and secretly greeted all eighteen generations of Xiao Siwen's ancestors.
He served in the army for thirty years and followed many people. Among them were Wang Yanqiu, a famous general who returned to the German Army under Emperor Zhuangzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Du Chongwei, who was a military governor of the Chengde Army under Shi Jingtang, the son of Emperor Shi Jingtang. They were all influential figures active in the times.
I have been fighting for a lifetime and have encountered many night attacks. Regardless of the final victory or defeat, I have never seen such a ridiculous situation.
There are only 3,000 opponents at the top. It is scary to see the horses charging into camp, but it is just a wave of things. Just get out of the way.
As a result, when he sent someone to inform Xiao Siwen, the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces actually ran away first?
The coach, Xiao Siwen, heard the movement and watched the horses charging into the camp from a distance, listening to the shouts of killing coming from behind.
He didn't even understand the situation, so he ran away with his people, left the Chinese army, and hid in a safe place.
So far, the enemy has not broken into the Chinese army, so why are they running?
Huang Wei didn't understand Xiao Siwen's thoughts and mentality at all, but he didn't want to think too much. Now that he had a wife and children, he had no special idea, just to make some money for future generations.
Under his iron-blooded methods, the Khitan army gradually stabilized the situation, and Shu Yuan's offensive was greatly hindered.
After all, after attacking for more than twenty miles, the soldiers' physical strength was about to be exhausted, and they were fighting more with less, and some were unable to follow up.
Shu Yuan held a single sword in his left and right hands and shouted: "With me as the center, charge!"
His face was stained with blood, and he had only one thought in his mind: win this battle and make great achievements!
With his two swords flying, Shu Yuan attacked and fought with all his swords, completely ignoring defense and rushing forward desperately.
When Shu Yuanbu saw his coach risking his life, he also took his last breath and rushed forward.
The shouts of death are getting closer and closer.
Huang Wei saw the enemy troops moving quickly between the camps like tigers. Although some of them kept falling, they were not afraid of life and death, stepping forward step by step through blood and dead bodies.
Huang Wei saw this and felt his heart tightening and his palms sweating.
"If reinforcements don't come, we really won't be able to defend it."
He suddenly regretted why he had to stand up and act like a hero.
But he didn't even understand why he ran away from a battle he could obviously win.
**********
Huang Wei from the rear camp didn't understand, and Guo Yujun from the front camp didn't understand either.
The impact of the Wanma Chong camp was limited to the Khitan rear army and the central army. The Khitan front army closest to Waqiao Pass was not affected much.
On the contrary, the direct troops of the Chinese Army Xiao Siwen suddenly withdrew from the military camp from the side, which made Guo Yujun's troops, who were ready to go to the front line to support Waqiao Pass anytime and anywhere, a little shaken in military morale.
After investigation, it was discovered that the rear camp was attacked. A wave of three thousand enemy troops somehow escaped the eyes of their scouts, ran to their rear, and attacked the rear camp of the military camp.
As a general from the Central Plains Department, Guo Yujun's mind was buzzing after learning about this situation.
What kind of battle is this?
We are attacked, fight back!
What are you running for?
He had become accustomed to the treatment he received from his stepmother and did not care about Xiao Siwen's retreat without even a word.
It's just that he didn't get the order, so he couldn't leave his post without permission. What if he went to rescue the rear camp and Waqiao Pass was in need of support?
If the rear camp was lost, it had nothing to do with him, but if Waqiao Pass was lost, he would have nothing to do with it.
But if the rear camp is really lost, can I still keep my front camp?
But soon he won't have to worry about it anymore.
The cavalry of the Longxiang Army are all tall northwest horses with amazing explosive power and are best at sprinting quickly over short distances.
After a year of training, in addition to Luo Youdu's advice, as well as Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide's personal guidance, Dang Jin also gained some experience in speed control.
He controlled his speed while running, and after entering the enemy's line of sight, he began to sprint faster.
Just a cup of tea and the time is almost here.
Guo Yujun was worried about whether to support the rear camp, and his reaction was inevitably delayed by half a beat.
When he called the soldiers to counterattack, the Long Xiang army of the Yuying Division, led by Hu Yanzan and Dang Jin, had already broken through the camp and entered.
Hu Yanzan single-handedly held up his jujube wood spear and jumped on his horse to stab. The eight-foot-long spear leaned forward and stabbed directly.
He did not put away his spear, just like a candied haws on a stick, he broke into the crowd of soldiers, used his superb equestrian skills to hit the enemy with his spear, and pierced five of them in one breath.
Hu Yanzan found that his wrist was struggling, so he threw the jujube spear aside.
When the surrounding Khitan soldiers saw this, they thought they could pick up a big fish and swarmed up.
Hu Yanzan reached back with his hands, and there was an iron whip in his left hand and a formation-breaking knife in his right hand. He struck left and slashed right, turned his horse and fought, killing all the Khitan soldiers around him who were greedy for cheap.
"Good skill!"
Dang Jin, the fierce general who defeated Jin Dao Yang Wudi in history, did not want to steal the limelight from others in this first battle, so he raised his big ax high and slashed at the Khitan soldiers in front of him.
Although Dang Jin was coy in front of Luo Youdu, when he went to the battlefield, he looked exactly like Zhang Fei in the novel, coupled with a huge long-handled battle ax, which made people intimidated when they met.
The big ax chops left and right, just like chopping melons and vegetables, and the heads roll.
Guo Yujun commanded his soldiers to fight, but Dang Jin and his men and horses were chopped down to the ground in just one move.
Facing the two evil stars Hu Yanzan and Dang Jin, the Khitan army's front army was caught off guard. They didn't have time to hold up a stick of incense and fell into a rout.
**********
Huang Wei was hesitating whether to retreat when he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him.
"Reinforcements are coming?"
Huang Wei was overjoyed and turned his head, trying his best to look back with his eyes wide open.
As soon as he caught sight, he saw a group of well-equipped cavalry breaking out of the camp.
Huang Wei's body swayed, his face covered with death.
He joined the Khitan army after Du Chongwei surrendered to the Khitan.
Before that, he had been active in the Central Plains battlefield.
This kind of heroic cavalry composed of tall horses has always been the favorite of the Central Plains cavalry generals. The Khitan army is rare, at least not here in Youdu Prefecture.
Thinking of his wife and children at home, Huang Wei also lost the courage to fight again.
But if you run away now, it will be too late to regret it.
Hu Yanzan came all the way to break camp and found that the Khitan army was completely deserted. There were only a few stragglers or soldiers who had escaped from the defeat of the front camp and the back camp.
He was furious. After waiting for a long time, he still hadn't had enough killing, so he was gone?
Continue to advance.
Hu Yanzan immediately took a fancy to Huang Wei, who led the supervising team in the Khitan rear camp.
"Wow haha...kill the thief!"
Hu Yanzan laughed loudly, shouted to kill the thief, and took the lead again, rushing towards Huang Wei.
Huang Wei's supervising team were all soldiers trained by him. They were extremely loyal and faced Hu Yanzan.
But they couldn't stop Hu Yanzan at all. With a whip and a knife, they separated the waves of flesh and blood of the supervising team.
In an instant, he rushed in front of Huang Wei!
The iron whip struck down on his head.
Huang Wei was stunned and raised his sword to block, and the bloody sword bent from it.
The trend of the iron whip continues unabated and hits the center of the head.
The iron helmet on Huang Wei's head was dented directly, and he collapsed under the horse.
If it weren't for this iron helmet, Huang Wei's head would probably explode.
