On the last day of March, the sun is shining brightly and the flowers are in bloom.
On the high hills, there are many flags and drums.
The six-sided banner stands on the hillside. There are crowds of people under the banner, and the armor is bright.
The Shao thief is here! Li Siben suddenly realized something. Unfortunately, he was slightly injured and could not go out to fight. Otherwise, leading a group of foster children and cavalry directly to the Shao thief's main formation might shake the enemy's morale. If he could
If Shao Thief is forced to ride alone, the battle will be more certain.
"Alas, what a pity." Looking again at the post road winding into the distance, Xia Jun's village was still standing.
It has been five days and the walled city has not been captured yet. How can I feel so embarrassed?
In fact, when it is said that it is a "walled city", it is just a common term. In fact, "city" and "walled city" are not at the same level in terms of defensive capabilities. The height, thickness, and solidity are not the same thing.
There couldn't be many troops placed on the wall, and it was very inconvenient to add reinforcements. There were no defensive facilities such as barbicans, sheep and horses walls, or moats. The Japanese army's combat effectiveness was so weak that logically it shouldn't have been such a difficult battle.
But the Xia army was so shameless that the Japanese army had already retreated to the rear to contain and rectify it. The Tianxing army moved in again and continued to block their way forward.
There is no hope, the attack cannot be carried out, the whole army is dragged here.
Li Siben suddenly felt very discouraged. It wasn't that everyone didn't work hard, in fact everyone worked hard. A few days ago, he was attacked by the Feilong Army during the night attack. When An Fuqian's son An Chonghui was captured, he remained calm and took action personally.
That way it didn't cause a bigger mess.
But that's it. The way forward is dead, the way back is cut off, we are trapped and there are no reinforcements from outside, what should we do?
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" A loud shout echoed outside the camp.
Li Siben looked around and saw more than ten thousand soldiers and horses from both sides fighting hard.
The rebel army should have tens of thousands of rebel soldiers on the left and right, and they should be in the Yanyue Formation, with two thousand on each side, six thousand in the center, and a total of ten thousand infantry. They are well-equipped and have high morale.
The Jin army set up a wild goose formation, dispatching a total of 12,000 men.
The wild goose formation took the initiative to attack, and the two thousand elite soldiers serving as arrowheads fought with the enemy. No one retreated. It was a desperate fight.
"Dong dong dong..." The war drum sounded for the second time.
Arrow rushed into the formation but did not disturb the enemy, so they retreated.
Li Siben subconsciously held the handle of the sword with his left hand and continued to attack the stronghold for several days. The physical strength, energy, and morale of the soldiers had indeed reached a stage extreme. It was not appropriate to go to war at this time.
But the enemy has set up a large formation to invite a fight. What should you do? If they win the field battle, they may be able to escape and run to Qingzhou. This is indeed their only chance.
Everyone understands this, everyone agrees to go to war, and everyone expects a miracle to happen. The enemy's rebel army came all the way. Although they rested for two full days, they should still be lacking in physical strength. In this regard, both sides
No taking advantage, very fair.
The third round of war drums is beating.
The Jin army mustered up their remaining courage and launched a third charge, aiming directly at the thick central army of the Xia Army's Yanyue Formation. At the same time, their own left wing also engaged, and the rotating "right arm" of the Yanyue Formation hit the Yan-shaped Formation.
In the middle, that is where the more than 3,000 foot soldiers of Jian Kodu are located.
Li Siben's eyes were still fixed on the decisive point in the middle.
The core of the Yanyue Formation lies in the central army. The right wing in front of the sudden attack is based on the central army and rotates to attack the enemy's flanks. It combines offense with defense and defense with offense. It is a very popular military formation. But his death
The hole is the central army. As long as the central army is defeated, the right wing will be semi-surrounded, and the defeat of the entire army is inevitable.
At the Jin army's arrowhead position, An Fuqing came out with five hundred soldiers and roared towards the Xia army.
There is a general's flag over there, which can't be seen clearly from a distance. Only the characters "Hengshandu" are more conspicuous.
The five hundred soldiers were all carefully selected warriors. This charge really paid off, as the enemy soldiers at the front who were tired from fighting for a long time were beaten to pieces.
"Kill them!" Li Siben punched the wall of the village with an excited expression.
The five hundred soldiers continued to charge forward, but the speed became slower and slower. In the end, like the plowing ox that had exhausted its strength, it knelt down on its front legs and fell to the ground with a cry.
The tried and tested desperate charge was stopped by the Xia people!
"Bang!" Li Siben punched again, this time with anger and regret.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The Xia people picked up a head with a spear to boost morale.
"Bah!" The cavalry on the opposite side was dispatched.
Li Siben was shocked. The Jin army failed to charge the formation three times, but it was far from collapse. The Xia cavalry army was dispatched at this time. Are they looking for death?
But the noise coming from the left wing awoke him.
Li Siben turned around and saw that thousands of people in Jian Koudu had rolled up their battle flags and retreated hastily.
"Shuzi!" Li Siben's eyes were about to burst. They had just fought, and they collapsed immediately?
You guys are running away before the rebels run away? This will kill everyone, including yourselves.
These guard dogs!
But there was no point in scolding him loudly. Cheng Dewufu fled at an unusual speed and returned to the camp.
The Chinese army was beheaded in Anfuqing. Under extremely unfavorable circumstances, the Chinese army tried to regroup and fight against the overwhelming Xia soldiers.
The three thousand rebel troops on the right wing are still advancing, preparing to outflank the Xia army's center.
The battle situation was only slightly unfavorable, Jin Bing and Ding Bing had not completely lost confidence in winning, but Zhao Bing's escape before the battle made everyone's efforts in vain.
The more than 2,000 Bozhou native regiments in the rear line were also defeated. They even rushed back to the camp before the Zhao people, spreading unrest everywhere.
The Xia army dispatched two thousand cavalry, chasing Koudu's buttocks, and completely scattered them.
The two thousand infantry on the right wing of the Yanyue Formation quickly turned and rushed towards the flank of the Jin army's center formation.
The Chinese army was affected, there was a lot of noise, and the originally tight formation was scattered. The sergeants were surprised and uncertain, asking around what happened in front and whether they were defeated.
That's what it's like to fight in an array.
The left does not listen to the right, and the right does not listen to the left. The front army is defeated, but the rear army may not know it yet. The rear army has been outflanked. The front army, which has not received the news, is still fighting hard.
Everyone on the battlefield was on tenterhooks, and rumors spread very quickly. Sometimes the flagpole was blown off, and the sergeants who didn't know the truth thought that a general would be killed by a human formation, and a big rout would immediately follow.
Only veterans who have fought for many years can remain calm and composed on the battlefield.
They know that it is not good to scare themselves, and they can forcefully suppress the fear in their hearts.
They know that even if the battle is unfavorable for a moment, they cannot mess up their position, otherwise they will die faster.
They know that the enemy on the opposite side is also very scared. At the critical moment, whoever blinks first will die first.
Battle in battle is a contest of courage and will. It is simply wishful thinking for new recruits to defeat veterans in a field battle, unless they encounter "God's help" such as dust and strong winds.
Of course, there is another situation that will cause veterans to collapse, and that is when one's own side flees on a large scale.
The escape of the three thousand soldiers of Jiankodu caused extremely bad effects.
When the sergeants who were more than twenty steps away from him saw it, they suddenly burst out in noise.
The officers were secretly frightened. They killed several soldiers who shouted the loudest on the spot, scolded the others with angry faces, and tried to reorganize their formation. However, when the Xia Army cavalry also appeared on their left wing, the noise became even louder.
, some people started to turn around and run away, which led to more people. No matter how hard the officers beat, cursed and killed them, they couldn't stop them. Instead, they were dragged back together.
What a fucking complete defeat!
Li Siben punched him again, and then, regardless of his injuries, he got off the wall of the village, took out his long spear, and prepared to take the more than a thousand soldiers who stayed at the camp to respond.
But the defeated troops that swarmed in immediately dispersed his men.
Li Siben was pushed out and hit a wooden pillar. The wound burst open again, and the pain was so painful that stars appeared in his eyes.
"Military envoy." The soldier came over in a hurry and helped him aside to avoid the panic and frantic crowd.
"Quick, take people out immediately to help. Maybe some more people will come back." Li Siben endured the pain and ordered.
The soldier glanced at the tightly blocked camp gate in embarrassment and shook his head.
Li Siben let out a long sigh and looked at the sky, his expression extremely depressed.
On the other side of the battlefield, under Shao Shude's order, the Yi Congjun pressed forward with a second wave of five people commanding ten thousand people, and outflanked the enemy from both wings.
If 50,000 people fight more than 10,000 people, there will be a surplus of troops. If possible, he can even mobilize more troops. But he does not dare to use unreliable troops such as Huguo, Zhongwu, Pengri, and Tianxing.
If the formation ran away first, it would be Jin. It was a replica of the Battle of Liang Baixiang. Wei Bojun resisted for a while and then ran away. He left the main force of 70,000 Liang troops on the battlefield, with all their flanks exposed. In the end, the Jin army captured and killed more than 20,000 people.
People, there is no limit to how you can cheat.
War drums rumbled and flags and flags stood in great numbers.
The rebel army's position was loosened, their flanks were routed, and their morale was greatly reduced. The 20,000-strong Yi Congjun army pressed forward with an unstoppable force. After a fierce battle, they crushed the last group of Jin soldiers who tried to restore the defeat, and began to chase them north.
Six commanders of the cavalry on the right wing of the Yi Cong Army were also dispatched. The three thousand cavalrymen did a job they were familiar with, "planning" the Jin army's escape route, causing them to panic, exhausting their energy, and making them unorganized.
They ran headlong into the main force of the infantry of the Rebel Army, which was squeezing towards them.
From this moment on, the real casualty gap on the cold weapon battlefield began to widen.
The Jin army was defeated and everyone lost their minds and fell into chaos.
Messengers traveled to and from the battlefield and the mountainside, reporting military conditions back and forth.
"The sixth commander of the left wing of the infantry captured the thief general An Fuqian."
"The second commander of the right wing of the infantry will kill the thieves, An Fushun."
"Report, the first commander of the left wing of the cavalry captured the thief general Mi Zhicheng."
"Reported, the thief-killing general He Huaibao, the fourth commander of the left wing of the infantry, and the fifth commander of the right wing of the cavalry were in dispute. They both claimed that it was their own military exploits."
"Report, the first commander of the left wing of the infantry has broken into the enemy camp."
Shao Shude listened expressionlessly, occasionally nodding his head to show that he understood.
Jin soldiers were scattered everywhere on the battlefield. Some people had begun to seize their horses and escape, and the Tielin Army cavalry was dispatched to pursue them.
It doesn't matter whether he can catch up or not, Shao Shude doesn't care.
Most of the 20,000 enemy troops were wiped out, so what if some escaped? They no longer posed any threat.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Chen Cheng walked over and said with a smile.
"The Jin army is actually not bad and can fight quite well." Shao Shude smiled proudly and said, "It's just a small scene."
Isn't that right? The Battle of Heqing was a huge scene involving hundreds of thousands of people. It was just a drizzle of 17,000 Jin, Zhao, and Ding coalition forces that were annihilated.
