"Boom..." Hundreds of riders suddenly rushed out of the camp and began to accelerate.
Their speed was very fast, and the momentum of their attack was very fierce, as if they were going to rush directly into Liang Jun's spears regardless of casualties.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Ten thousand Liang troops formed several small formations. The right wing of the central army turned right collectively. The bow and crossbow team bravely stepped forward for a few steps, holding a terrifyingly long bow, and armor-piercing heavy arrows kept flying out.
, shot down more than ten cavalrymen.
The cavalry army turned around and went to the other side.
Shao Shude climbed up a gentle slope and observed the battlefield carefully.
The process of the Battle of Xiangji Temple emerged in my mind involuntarily. In that battle, the Tang army, led by Pugu Huai'en, led 4,000 elite Uighur soldiers, rode their horses around to attack the Anshi rebels, and finally won.
However, the Uighur cavalry waited from noon to Youshi, sitting and watching the infantry formations of both sides fighting for several hours, and then decisively attacked, which was the straw that broke the camel's back.
If the cavalry fights the infantry, and the infantry forms a formation, and the cavalry does not attack from the front, but instead attacks the flanks and rear, can they definitely win? At least the Uighurs believe that they cannot win. They must wait until the enemy infantry's physical strength, energy, and morale have been exhausted for a long time before they can be sure.
.At the same time, we must also consider that the cavalry from Khotan and Dashi restrained the rebel cavalry head-on, and this gave them the opportunity to make a final decision.
Today, the Liang Army had almost no cavalry, only about a hundred cavalry, and dozens of scouts and scattered cavalry. Shao Shude didn't take it seriously yet, so this helped him a lot.
The infantry of both sides have begun to fight head-on. Swords and guns are intersecting, blood and flesh are flying everywhere, and no one is willing to take a step back.
The cavalry of the Dingnan Army outflanked the left wing and moved cautiously to put pressure on the enemy.
The enemy's infantry had a very small advantage in strength, and the cavalry was completely at a disadvantage. Over time, the mental pressure was not small.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" A detachment of fifty archers from Liang Jun walked a little further.
Hundreds of Xia cavalry seized the opportunity and rushed over from the flank. The enemy's arrows were like locusts behind the formation. During the charge, the cavalry kept falling off their horses, but in the end they were forced to stop them and rush into the archers who were fighting and retreating.
Among the scattered troops.
The war horse rushed past, and the saber brought bright red blood, which looked so charming under the sunset.
The 50-man detachment suffered heavy losses, with more than 30 people killed and injured in an instant, and another seven or eight people were knocked down by the cavalry who rushed over and turned around to shoot.
Who says martial arts are useless? During the archery assessment, it makes sense to shoot left and right, shoot continuously, shoot prone, and shoot back to get extra points!
"It's still a loss!" Shao Shude shook his head gently.
The cavalrymen of the cavalry army are all elites who are experienced in battle formations. The archers of the Liang army are probably not good at shooting heavy arrows. The arrows bite the flesh, but they are still at a disadvantage in exchange.
The cavalry constantly harassed the enemy's flanks and rear, forcing the Liang people to draw teams before the battle, and the entire formation almost turned into a hedgehog.
"The Jia Ma Army has been fighting Er Zhu and Shi Pu on the eastern front. It has a low reputation. I didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with." Shao Shude smiled and said: "The more difficult you are, the more I will eat you. Every time you are killed,
Such an old Yamen army will not only weaken the Zhu Thieves' strength, but also strengthen themselves."
Ye Li Kecheng watched intently from the side, his young face full of eagerness to try.
"Hold on!" Shao Shude laughed loudly. It was the young man after all. It was probably the first time for him to see such a large-scale brutal killing. It was understandable that he was excited. Everyone has come through this step.
"I still have to rely on you for protection!" Shao Shude blinked and joked.
He has five hundred soldiers beside him, plus a thousand cavalry troops. If the thieves have a lot of cavalry, and if the fierce general brother comes directly with him, Shao Shude will have to die in person. Anyway, he has already used both infantry and cavalry bows.
The string is ready.
Ye Li Kecheng looked determined and said: "Even if I die, I will die in front of the king."
The soldiers all looked at him, and some subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands, preparing for a deadly battle.
Of course, things didn't come to this.
Wang Jingxuan was so busy that he even left the command position of the Chinese army and led a counterattack with his own soldiers to stabilize the front line, which was somewhat unable to withstand the enemy.
An iron gun was majestic and swept through thousands of troops. As far as Shao Shude could see, three young officers with flags on their backs had already been stabbed to death by this guy.
"A brave general, just like Wang Yanzhang." Shao Shude commented.
Wang Yanzhang is an amazing person. Let him lead an army to fight. The winning rate is really not high. It seems that he is not capable enough as a commander. But when he is defeated, he can always lead his people to break out of the encirclement or kill the enemy's pursuing troops. All must be done
He came back in full force. When his status was low, he led troops into battle and repeatedly defeated the enemy. To put it bluntly, he was a general, not a handsome man. It was actually not very qualified for him to be in charge of the main force of the rear beam.
Another group of cavalry got on their horses and pressed over from the west bank of Caishui River. They brought some war drums and beat them directly behind the rebel soldiers, and hundreds of people shouted in unison to kill them.
After shouting, mount the horse again, go around to another place, and continue doing this.
The battlefield was very chaotic. The infantrymen of both sides were fighting on the front line. They were fighting hard and the casualties were astonishing. But as time went by, Sergeant Liang became more and more anxious and panicked. At the critical moment, Wang Jingshun was killed.
With a shout, people were asked to carry the big flag and follow, put on heavy armor and fight on foot, charging forward continuously to boost morale.
The first formations of both sides had already collapsed. The defeated troops slipped back through the passage between the formations, and the next formation directly hit them, strangled each other again.
Oritsugu Yu was also anxious, and directly led more than a thousand cavalry in armor and rushed towards the corner of the flank of the bandit formation.
The arrows flying in the direction knocked down many knights. They braved the casualties, pulled horizontally, and fired a round of projectiles within the range of the riding bow.
After one round of shooting, the second wave of hundreds of riders arrived. Then came the third wave and the fourth wave.
There was almost no time interval between the fifth wave and the fourth wave. Taking advantage of the enemy's slight confusion, he rushed over with a short spear in hand.
Attack a corner!
This can be regarded as one of the cavalry tactics, that is, regardless of casualties, attack one corner of the enemy's formation wave after wave, open the gap, and then use fine cavalry to continue to expand the gap, ultimately achieving the purpose of causing confusion and collapse of the enemy.
.
"叏鲁lv!" The war horses screamed one after another. The infantry in the first row of the Jia Ma Army suffered heavy casualties. The sergeants in the back row holding long Ke axes came forward and cooperated with Bao Ze to knock the knight off the horse with all his strength.
A knight's horse fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow. At this time, he got up from the ground, picked up the spear on the ground, and rushed forward to kill him.
The two sides were so confused that they almost didn't care about anything but the enemy in front of them, fighting for their lives with swords and guns.
More and more cavalry rushed over, and the enemy's archers were affected and could no longer fire arrows wantonly. The cavalry on the periphery came closer and fired arrows continuously, and the unarmored Liang Jun screamed and fell to the ground.
"The bandits are going to be defeated, kill them!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Xu felt the noise and chaos on the right wing of the Liang people's army. The morale of the Feilong army was greatly boosted.
Morale is ebbing and flowing. The Xia people's morale is high, while the Liang people's morale is inevitably declining. No matter how hard Wang Jingxuan fights, he can't change the disadvantage of his own small number of soldiers. The overall front continues to retreat and has a tendency to collapse and disintegrate.
Fu Yanchao led more than two thousand cavalry around slowly, shooting arrows from time to time to intensify the enemy's confusion. A quarter of an hour later, he shouted loudly, pulled out his Tea Mountain Sword, and said: "The thieves are in chaos, follow me and charge!"
More than two thousand cavalry slowly accelerated, divided into three groups, and directly inserted into a gap exposed by Liang Ren.
In the gap, some people fell to the ground, some stood there fighting alone, and some were running back. The surging cavalry rushed in, slashing and stabbing, Liang Jun was either dead or injured. Those who were lucky enough to escape the cavalry attack went straight to the gap.
They jumped up from behind and collided with the enemy troops coming for reinforcements, causing chaos.
The second wave of cavalry rushed in and cut them in half.
Then came the third wave, which came in diagonally and fired a volley of bows and crossbows. Liang Jun made a loud noise and ran away one after another.
The Feilong Army fighting on the front line became more and more courageous as they fought, and Liang Jun seemed to have reached a critical point. Suddenly some people broke down emotionally and turned around and ran away. The despair led to more people, and almost no one was willing to continue fighting. One by one they pushed
He grabbed his robe and tried to escape with his life.
Big collapse!
Wang Jingxuan rushed out of the rebel army under the protection of his own soldiers, but couldn't find his horse for a while, so he had to flee on foot.
He had been targeted by the cavalry. They wanted to capture him alive. They followed Wang Jingxuan leisurely and fired with their bows. There were fewer and fewer soldiers around him until there was no one left.
Wang Jingzhen jumped on a carriage, looked back, and almost shed tears. Tens of thousands of men, Ying men, were being chased to the north by Xia soldiers, who were slashing and killing them.
"I want to see Shao Shude!" Wang Jingxuan threw the iron gun and said loudly.
More than a dozen knights dismounted, swarmed up, pushed him to the ground, and tied him up. One of them laughed and said, "I will take you to see the king."
Wang Jingxuan stopped struggling and was taken away obediently.
Shao Shude rode his horse down the gentle slope, looked away from the battlefield, and asked curiously: "Why does General Wang want to see me?"
"Seeking a way out for the soldiers of the Jiama Army." Wang Jingxuan replied.
Shao Shude smiled and said: "I have no intention of killing the prisoners, so don't worry. Are you willing to surrender?"
"It's surrendered!" Wang Jingxuan replied.
Shao Shude was stunned and asked subconsciously: "During the fight just now, General Wang personally led the warriors, repeatedly defeated our army's sharp edges, and saved the crisis several times. In today's battle, if General Wang's heroic performance had not been achieved, I am afraid that it would have been a long time ago."
It was taken. Why was it so easy to surrender? If I had known this, why would I have to..."
"My family is a general in Yingzhou. Since the King of Liang is the commander of Bian, it is my duty to fight for him." Wang Jingxuan replied: "I am facing the King of Xia today. I have surrendered and captured him. I have fulfilled my duty. The King of Xia can defeat me.
, either you have great luck or great ability, I am convinced, so I am willing to surrender."
Shao Shude couldn't help but smile after hearing this. This man spoke of surrender in such a fresh and refined way, he is also a talent.
However, his military bravery is indeed good. In the past, Huang Chao entered Bo Ying Prefecture, but he led the Ying Prefecture soldiers to fight for ten days and repulsed him. Later, Qin Zongquan came again, but he was repulsed. After retreating, he was unwilling to give up, so he sent his generals to attack again.
Wang Jingxuan took the lead and clashed with the left and right, causing the Cai thieves to be defeated and fled.
"In the troubled times, you have preserved peace in Yingzhou, and have not been poisoned by the nest, Cai thieves, and you have gathered refugees from far and near, leaving countless people alive. With such great virtue, you do not deserve to die." Shao Shude said: "Get up. In the future, we will do the best for you.
If I fight, I can still gain wealth."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me," Wang Jingxing said happily.
The chase on the battlefield was almost over. The Xia army soldiers gradually stopped holding hands and began to surrender and capture prisoners.
Just now, Shao Shude carefully observed that the Feilong Army should have suffered more than a thousand casualties in this battle. The Iron Cavalry and Dingnan armies also lost hundreds of cavalry. The casualties were somewhat higher than expected. However, they completely wiped out 10,000 people of the Jiajian Army and obtained their heavy supplies of food and silk.
, it’s still worth it.
"Your Majesty." Xie Tong followed up cautiously: "The magistrate of Fugou County is an old acquaintance of mine. It may be said that he has come to surrender."
Shao Shude looked at the sky, nodded and said: "That's fine. Let's rest after the battle. The soldiers are tired. Let's go to Fugou to rest first and then make further calculations."
