Chapter 52 The momentum of breaking the army: advance but not retreat
Chapter 52: The trend of breaking the army is advancing but not retreating
A thousand cavalry charged, but saw no enemy troops, but suffered more than half of their own casualties. Now Wang Shichong is also riding a tiger and is unable to dismount.
After all, with such heavy casualties and no achievements at all, it can only be blamed on his poor command.
A cold light flashed in Wang Shichong's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and ordered to continue the attack. He had made up his mind that even if he used up all the cavalry, he would break up the formation of this army. When tens of thousands of troops encircle them, they will surely destroy the trapped camp. p>
Looking at the more than 300 cavalrymen who continued to charge, Gao Shun directly saw through Wang Shichong's intention, smiled disdainfully, and continued to command calmly.
"Fall into the camp, disperse, form a group of ten, and form a tiger formation."
Nearly seventy small formations of ten people were quickly formed, and then the group directly faced the remaining three hundred cavalry.
However, the three hundred cavalry, whose formation was broken up and whose impact was exhausted, were unable to threaten the heavy infantry of the trapped camp, and were quickly killed by the trapped camp head-on.
Eight hundred infantrymen wiped out a thousand cavalrymen head-on. In addition to the countless enemy troops they had killed before, the trapped camp had caused immeasurable losses to the enemy, but the damage to itself was less than a hundred.
Such a battle damage ratio is a great deterrent to the enemy. At this time, in the eyes of the enemy officers and soldiers, the trapped camp is already a Shura blood army.
Seeing that the morale of the army was low and the casualties were heavy, Wang Shichong's eyes were red and he shouted hysterically: "Don't be afraid, the enemy's army has reached its limit. The three armies have come together to encircle me."
Eight hundred people beat more than 20,000 of them, and he was frightened. No matter how he changed his formation, the opponent always had ways to deal with it. Wang Shichong had no choice but to rely on the number of people.
Wang Shichong knew that the casualties would be huge. After the battle, it was unclear whether the remaining people could hold on to the underworld, but if he didn't remove the nail in the trap, he might not be able to win this battle.
At this point, Wang Shichong can only use human lives to fill the bottomless pit of the camp.
Enemies from all directions were surrounding the trapped camp. Seeing this, Gao Shun understood that Wang Shichong had already risked his life. No matter how elite and well-equipped the trapped camp was, it only had 800 people. It was still unrealistic to kill all 20,000 people.
, so I suddenly felt stressed, and there was some sweat on my forehead. At the same time, I was secretly thinking about how to minimize the casualties.
The steel fortress changed again, but this time a groove was exposed in the middle of each shield in the circular shield array, and a long knife was fixed in it. The entire circular array became a wall of swords.
"Turn!"
Faced with the siege of tens of thousands of people, the sword wall composed of more than 700 people, under the command of Gao Shunruju, rotated clockwise. As soon as the enemy troops approached, they were immediately smashed into pieces, with countless broken limbs and broken arms, and blood and flesh flying everywhere. Qin Hao saw that Gao Shun had held back most of the opponent's troops and that the time was almost up for the battle. It was time to break the camp and make achievements, so he said to Zhang Liao and others:
"Brother Wenyuan, the enemy's right wing has not yet been dispatched. You lead the barracks to overwhelm the right wing, and then charge from right to left. You must overwhelm the enemy's formation. Qin will use Yue Fei, and you two will assist Zhang Liao in the charge together."<
/p>
When Zhang Liao heard that it was finally time for him to perform, he immediately said excitedly: "Promise, I will fight to the death to complete the mission!"
Compared with the complex and changeable battle formations of the trapped camp, the attack method of breaking the military camp is much simpler, with only one point, and that is to charge.
In this era when light cavalry has not yet reached its peak, the strategic position of heavy cavalry is undoubtedly terrifying.
Although the five hundred heavy cavalry are few, in this era any soldier who dares to appear under the iron hoof of the broken barracks will be crushed by the broken barracks!
Fang Jie, who was on the right wing, saw that the three generals of the Yanmen Army were dressed very "strangely", but he could tell at the first sight that they were elite cavalry, charging toward his side, and he immediately felt troubled.
He has now fully seen the strength of the Yanmen Army. Eight hundred elite infantry can hold back the Wang family's fifteen thousand soldiers and horses. His five thousand recruits may not be able to stop the opponent's five hundred cavalry.
"If you can't stop it, withdraw!"
The cold voice of a handsome young man wearing white armor and riding a red horse beside Fang Jie came slowly.
Seeing this, Fang Jie lowered his head and whispered: "Miss, if we retreat, won't the Wang family definitely lose?"
That's right, the white-armored young general is Dongfang Sheng's disguise as a man. Dongfang Sheng has never left the army, he just disguised himself as a man and hid.
"What does the life and death of the Wang family have to do with us?" Dongfang Sheng asked calmly.
"The Wang family can always contain some of the Yanmen Army's forces for us!" Fang Jie retorted without thinking.
"It's too late. From the day Qin Hao returned to Yanmen, the Wang family's failure was doomed, and no one could avoid it.
All we have to do is take advantage of the opportunity. Five thousand troops are already a lot. We must be content.
And if the Wang family is undefeated, how can they sincerely defect to our Yellow Turban Army?
I have long said that the flag of our Yellow Turban Army is not easy to fight. Now that it has been put up, never put it down!"
"Miss, do you really want to?"
"That's right, all the major families in the area are now convinced by our Yellow Turban Army, and the surrender of a disabled Wang family can also win people's hearts."
Dongfang Sheng's rhetoric left Fang Jie speechless. He was so simple-minded that he could not have thought of this. Moreover, Dongfang Sheng was the main focus of everything he came out this time, so he had no choice but to retreat according to Dongfang Sheng's order.
"Withdraw towards Pingcheng. Maybe we can trick Qin Wen before Qin Hao reacts."
Dongfang Sheng's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said calmly: "Wait for Wang Shichong along the way. I have a hunch that this man will not die so easily."
Pingcheng is located in the northeasternmost direction of Yanmen Army, and further east is Daijun.
When Qin and Wen's 30,000-strong army went on an expedition, it was impossible to rely entirely on Daijun to supply grain and grass, and Pingcheng was the only way for Qin and Wen's grain transportation.
Once Pingcheng falls, Qin and Wen's 30,000 elite troops will be in danger of running out of food.
When Wang Xiong and others saw that Fang Jie on the right wing actually ran away, everyone was dumbfounded. They immediately cursed Fang Jie and Dongfang Sheng for being shameless, using all the dirty words on the two of them.
Wang Shichong didn't speak, just because the situation was so critical now that he didn't even bother to scold Fang Jie.
"The whole army is attacking and must stop these five hundred cavalry." Wang Shichong roared hysterically, like a gambler who is losing his mind.
Zhang Liao led the 500 broken barracks and was preparing to charge the enemy on the right. However, before the battle started, the enemy troops withdrew from the battlefield and took the initiative to expose the Chinese army to the iron hooves of the broken barracks.
Normally, Zhang Liao would definitely pursue him directly. After all, five thousand soldiers and horses are already a force that can turn the situation around and cannot be left alone.
However, the trapped camp is still surrounded by the enemy, and Zhang Liao also learned from Qin Hao that Fang Jie and the Wang family are not of the same mind. Since the other party has taken the initiative to retreat, Zhang Liao does not need to fight with the other party. Everything is still about the overall situation.<
/p>
Yue Fei, who was beside Zhang Liao, saw this and said cautiously: "General Zhang Liao, if Fang Jie escapes at this time, do you think there is any fraud?"
"Yes, we only have 500 cavalry, so it's better to be cautious." Qin Yong frowned. The wealth in the underworld has indeed made his irritable character calm down a lot.
After Zhang Liao pondered for a while, he shook his head and said confidently: "No, Brother Qin, Yue Zhuangshi, you don't understand the fighting method of breaking the military camp, that's why you think so. Don't worry, even if the other party is cheating, I will break the military camp."
It can also be broken!"
When Qin Yong and Yue Fei saw this, they didn't say much anymore. They just had to fulfill their duties. Besides, Zhang Liao was not a reckless person. Since he was so confident, he must have a reason.
Qin Hao, who was in the rear, saw that Fang Jie's five thousand soldiers and horses actually withdrew directly to the northeast. He frowned and felt a bad feeling in his heart.
"What does that woman Dongfang Sheng want to do? I can't even guess a woman's thoughts. It seems that I haven't mastered the art of vertical and horizontal skills yet. This feeling of being out of control is really annoying!"
"I really saved an incredible woman back then, but as Zhang Jiao's adopted daughter and someone who had an influence on the general trend of the world, there is no trace of it in the original history. It's really strange!"
Qin Hao and Dongfang Sheng have known each other for a long time. Qin Hao accidentally met Dongfang Sheng when he went to Bingzhou with Guiguzi four years ago. In the following four years, the two of them also met several times, which is why they understand each other so well.
.
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore. It's impossible for history books to record all abilities. Isn't it the same for my father!"
On the frontal battlefield, the main force of the enemy army has been exposed to the iron hooves of the Po Army Camp. Zhang Liao was naturally not polite and directly commanded the Po Army Camp to kill the enemy's Chinese army.
"Destroy the barracks and charge!"
"To break the momentum of an army, advance but never retreat."
"To break the momentum of an army, advance but never retreat."
"Ding dong, Zhang Liao's hidden skill 'raid' has awakened. Raid: When commanding the army to prepare for a surprise attack or charge, the movement speed of the troops will increase, the combat power will increase, the general's command will be 3, and the force will be 3."
"Ding dong, Zhang Liao's skill 'raid' is activated, command 3, force 3, Zhang Liao's original commander is 90, force is 93, Qingtian Hook Sickle's force +1, increased by surprise, current commander is 93, force is 97."
The three thousand soldiers and horses of the Wang family's rear army were obviously unable to stop the Po Army Camp, which was charging with Zhang Liao and the others as arrows. Under the violent impact of the Po Army Camp, the rear army was like tissue paper, which could be broken with just one poke.
After the army broke through, they did not change their momentum and plunged directly into the enemy's army.
The Po Barracks, which are armed to the teeth, are even more powerful, and the Five Hundred Po Barracks are like tanks. Once they charge, anyone who dares to stand in front of the Po Barracks on the road will be crushed to pieces.<
/p>
The soldiers who broke the barracks did not even need to slash and kill. As long as they maintained their formation and charged, they could crush a lot of enemy troops.
The enemy also had a counterattack, but the men and horses in the broken barracks were all wearing heavy armor, and even their faces had iron masks. Only their eyes, arms, legs and horse legs were exposed.
If the Wang family had a group of elites comparable to the trapped camp, they might be able to cause huge casualties to the camp through the flaws exposed in the camp, but it is obviously impossible with a group of new soldiers.
