The injuries suffered by the Anping Army were not small, with more than 300 people killed, more than 500 seriously injured, and countless minor injuries.
The main reason is that the soldiers of the Montenegrin Army did not have armor, and they were the main force in attacking the enemy and entering the camp for hand-to-hand combat. The armor rate of the soldiers in the army was high, and the casualties among the 4,000 armored soldiers and 3,000 crossbowmen were not large.
On the battlefield, armor is life!
If Liu Xiang wants to attract Dong Zhuo's attention to the main force for the decisive battle, he must give him a hard blow. Only by hurting him can he ignore the sneak attack of the partial army.
The attack on the camp continued the next day.
It was still the same on the third day.
Dong Zhuo couldn't stand it any longer. After three days of fierce fighting, five or six hundred thousand arrows were fired into the camp. Of course, he also shot two to three hundred thousand arrows.
More than 2,000 soldiers died in the battle, and countless others were injured. The camp was not broken, but the soldiers could hardly hold it anymore. It was so damn ferocious.
No one in Liangzhou was afraid of death, but this time when they met their opponent, the soldiers on the opposite side really dared to fight tooth and nail. The two thousand cavalry in the camp repeatedly attacked the enemy infantry in the camp, but they couldn't attack them at all.
It collapsed, and there were many people entangled and fighting desperately. More than three layers had been broken. He saw fear in the eyes of these Qiang Hu.
He is indeed Liu Yicheng who leads troops well. But if you want to defeat me like this, it is far from enough.
If you dare to come again tomorrow, I will make you pay the price!
On the fourth day of the war, Liu Xiang lived up to his expectations and arrived at the Liangzhou Army camp. However, the offensive had eased and he appeared to be weak. After three days of strong offensive, he had lost his energy and was indeed exhausted. Dong Zhuo, on the other hand,
There is no doubt that the morale of the soldiers in his army is also damaged, and it is normal for them to be tired and tired of fighting.
The enemy is tired and it's time to make a move.
"Send an order to Dong Yue to wait for an opportunity to raid the enemy's rear. The time for the decisive battle has arrived. Order him to move forward desperately and defeat the enemy in one battle."
To be honest, Dong Zhuo would not be very satisfied if Liu Xiang was defeated like this.
Not entirely happy.
In his mind, he and Liu Xiang's men were the most adept troops in fighting today, but without cavalry on the other side, it was always less interesting.
I'm not entirely happy, it's a bit overwhelming.
Dong Yue had two thousand cavalry and four thousand infantry under his command. In order to avoid the detection of enemy scouts in the past few days, they retreated more than ten miles into the mountains and were almost thirty miles away from the main camp.
By the time he received the order and arrived with his troops, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon. It was the end of Weishi and the beginning of Shenshi. The sun was in the west. If they attacked directly to the west, the light would be dazzling and it would be detrimental to them.
So he decided to make a detour and launch an attack from the southeast, penetrate the enemy's flanks, drive the defeated troops to flee northwest, just in time to break up the formation at the north gate, and then push them into the Fen River together.
Done, perfect!
With two thousand cavalry in front and four thousand infantry behind, Dong Yue took the lead. With the vision of being rewarded for his meritorious service, he led the army into a rumble towards the enemy's flank and rear.
It's a pity that his idea was very good, but the actual situation was not consistent with it.
Liu Xiang had known for a long time that there was an ambush outside, how could he not be prepared? After three days of fighting, the soldiers were exhausted, and it was a good opportunity to sneak attack behind the enemy lines. He liked this method of warfare best, so today, most of the Chinese army's troops were arranged behind the enemy lines.
Where's the array?
"Order the southern front to stabilize its formation, and the eastern front to prepare to circle back. The attacking troops in the front take turns to cover, break away from the entanglement and retreat slowly, and be careful of the enemy's counterattack. The Suwei team is ready to charge with me at any time." Liu Xiang issued a series of orders.
After the announcement, the army's focus turned to the incoming enemy forces.
Dian Wei had been in the rear line for four days and was so exhausted that when the enemy rushed up, he smiled extremely happily.
"Wow, hahahaha, you're finally here. Grandpa is waiting impatiently for you. Brothers, now it's our turn to eat meat. Work harder and kill him without leaving a trace!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The soldiers who stayed behind were eager to fight. They had long been hungry and thirsty.
The Liangzhou cavalry rushed very quickly, bypassing the hillside, entering the river beach, drawing an arc to complete the turn, and rushed to the front of the formation in less than a quarter of an hour.
But what greeted them was not a panicked crowd, but a large cast-iron shield, a two-foot-long spear, and a rain of arrows from the sky.
The soldiers who had been wilted before were now as excited as if they had been pumped. After watching the show for a long time, it was finally their turn to appear on the stage.
This little cavalry is not enough to kill. When will we have enough merit to be promoted to a military title? Why don't you bring in more people!
If the Liangzhou army is composed of numerous Qiang and Hu men who are not afraid of death, then the Anping army is a group of bellicose lunatics, with military lords wandering around in front of their eyes all the time.
The most important military title in Youzhou is the military title. Although military dependents are given preferential treatment, not everyone can make a lot of money in business. Most people are still at the stage of supporting their families.
If you want to make a fortune, the most obvious and useful thing is for your children to be promoted to military nobility.
Every time a sergeant in the army returns home from a break, he vows to his family: When I am promoted to a military rank, we will move to a bigger house; when I am promoted to a military rank, you will not be able to plant large tracts of land; when I am promoted,
The military lord can collect enough dowry to marry you home;
When I get promoted to a military title...
When I get promoted to a military title...
Military Lord! Military Lord! Military Lord!
All they have in mind is the military lord!
In their eyes, the enemy is military merit, a big house, a large field, a golden coin, a promise after sentence, and a boastful word!
Military merit, come here quickly!
Head, bring it to you!
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill them all!"
The Liangzhou cavalry charged too fast, set up their shield formation too quickly, raised their spears too quickly, and fired their arrows too fast.
Everything is very fast.
In the blink of an eye, people are turned upside down.
Before the cavalry had time to adjust, the soldiers on both wings rushed up. Two thousand cavalry were dumped. Then people rushed into the cavalry formation, forcing all the cavalry to stop like a big net trapping a school of fish.
The cavalry trapped in the infantry formation is no better than a chicken. It cannot charge forward and form a tight formation. As time goes by, it will definitely be surrounded and killed.
"First Evolution"
Dong Yue was extremely anxious and kept shouting loudly, trying to command his men to open a passage.
All this fell into Dian Wei's eyes.
"Hey, it's time for me to make a profit." He weighed the halberd and felt that the distance was not enough, so he muttered: "I'll have to practice archery later."
After saying that, he took out the throwing spear from the back of the soldier next to him, closed one eye and took aim, stepped forward with his left leg, kicked off the ground with his right leg, twisted his waist and stepped forward, exerting force on his shoulders and arms.
"Let's go!"
There was a muffled sound of "Woo", the spear was thrown, it made a strange cry, and it went straight five or sixty steps away.
Dong Yue's scalp was numb, and his back felt as if it was being targeted by a beast. He suddenly looked up and saw a black spot flashing towards him, then a heartbreaking pain hit him, and a strong force
Take him off the horse.
"Ugh~!" The severe pain made him scream out, but then his throat, mouth and nose were blocked by the backflow of blood. He coughed up a big mouthful of blood foam and looked at the wound in his chest and abdomen.
He held the spear shaft in his hand, struggled for a moment, and died.
The general died in battle, and the entire army was trapped in the enemy's formation. The Liangzhou cavalry collapsed completely, and the voices of surrender were heard endlessly. However, the infantry who could not hold back still killed most of them, and less than 600 survived.
By the time the follow-up infantry under Dong Yue's command caught up, the cavalry had been completely wiped out, and the killing was not enough. Anping soldiers eager for military glory swarmed forward. They wanted to entangle the enemy, wait for the two wings to detour, and then completely annihilate these infantry.
Dong Zhuo, who was standing on the watchtower to observe the battle, was dumbfounded. The two thousand cavalrymen died so quickly. Did they even have time for a meal? They couldn't wait for the follow-up infantry support. He himself had no time to send people to rescue him. Is Dong Yue a waste?
?
It hit the enemy's mouth just in time, and the two wings flanked him, and he was instantly finished.
The cooperation was so good, there was such a tacit understanding, he felt like he was being acted out.
Looking at the enemy troops retreating alternately at the east gate and the soldiers standing firm in the southeast, how should the infantry surrounded by the enemy's rear formation be rescued?
This is a difficult problem.
But Dong Zhuo was not the only one who encountered difficulties at this time.
After Zhang He walked out of the mountain, he realized that they had run too far. If they went further, they would be almost at Linfen. They would have to cross Yong'an for sixty or seventy miles. So how could they make a sneak attack? Jump into the Fen River?
He looked at the river in front of him and felt so angry that he felt dizzy.
Life was miserable. After the guide was bitten to death by a snake, they accelerated along the simple map. As a result, they underestimated the speed of the soldiers and missed the mountain pass. These Chinese army animals were too good at running away.
Having too much physical strength is also a problem!
"Turn back and touch it again."
It was so embarrassing that something went wrong after just over a hundred miles. How did the lord travel thousands of miles in the mountains to capture the enemy's capital?
It’s so difficult!
Zhang He was upset for taking the wrong path, but Liu Ai didn't take the wrong path. He walked along the ravine safely and met Xu Rong smoothly. Then, he was captured by his own army!
"Xu Rong, you really don't want your life. Now you are surrounded by our soldiers. Do you still want to run out with a few servants? Let me go. For the sake of being a good friend for many years, I won't kill you."
Liu Ai was a little angry. It would be embarrassing if this matter spread out. He was captured in his own army and had no shame to see others.
Xu Rong sliced a piece of roast mutton, put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and after swallowing it, he replied: "Let your people get out, otherwise, today I will taste the meat roasted by my friend for many years. What is it like?"
