The middle-base general Yang Wei is a burly, middle-aged man. He has a square, square face, a pair of big eyes, and thick lips. He also has a muscular body, but has a little more body fat, and his muscles are not as exaggerated as Xiong Shou.
Yang Wei led 10,000 people on foot and cavalry. As soon as they arrived at the south of Wuhu Lake, they suddenly reported that the front army Xiong Shou had broken through the rebel flank defense line!
Xiong Shou took the lead, leading a cavalry team with only four horsemen and a total of more than 1,200 cavalry. How could he break through the enemy so quickly?
The number of cavalry under Wu general Zhuge Ke was far less than that of the Wei army, but he still found favorable terrain in the open plains!
Although Yang Wei's troops detoured from the south, bypassing the polder lake that was four to five miles wide, and approached the Wu army's left wing; however, a few miles to the east, there was another smaller lake and swamp. Such terrain created a barrier for the Wu army's left wing.
a natural barrier.
Between the two bodies of water, there is only a few miles wide and there are rice fields, which affects the rapid movement of the cavalry. Of course, the Wu army also has defenses on the flanks. As long as some chariots and infantry are deployed, they can block the rapid penetration of the Wei army's cavalry!
Yang Wei originally asked Xiong Shou to go over and test the attack. If they could not defeat the enemy, they would continue walking eastward and use a larger roundabout distance to attack Wu Jun's flanks and rear flanks.
After asking, I found out that Xiong Shou found a low mountain forest between two bodies of water. Xiong Shou led his troops to shuttle between the woods, defeated the Wu army's ambush, and ventured into the enemy's flank defense line!
Yang Wei immediately handed over the infantry power to his generals and personally led almost all the cavalry in the middle camp, totaling several thousand cavalry, towards the front line.
The governor's cavalry detoured in columns to the north. The teams passed a small village. A large number of cavalry jogged past the dirt road in the village and the vegetable fields on both sides. After a while, Yang Wei rushed up to a gentle hilly wasteland.
"Rumble, rumble..." The sound of horse hooves seemed to have increased a bit louder. Behind several paddy fields in the distance, a herd of horses could be vaguely seen. It was Xiong Shou's men and horses who had circled to the rear of the enemy!
The northwest direction was filled with smoke, and the Wu army also sent cavalry for reinforcements! Yang Wei looked at the battle formation and estimated that the enemy cavalry coming had hundreds of riders. The Wu army could only gather hundreds of riders, but only a few people, including generals, could do it!
Yang Wei also observed the front line of Wu Army's infantry and chariot defenses. If the enemy army could not be defeated, once the enemy army mobilized troops to defend the forest to the east, Xiong Shou's more than a thousand cavalry would have nowhere to go.
"The first governor is heavy cavalry, the second governor is light cavalry, attack!" Yang Wei gave the order decisively without delaying for a moment! He raised his horse and pointed at the enemy line ahead.
The two generals responded with "order". After a while, all the troops shouted, and the two cavalry columns rushed down the gentle slope. After a while, they reorganized and jogged towards the front.
"Kill! Charge..." The heavy cavalry front team suddenly shouted, and countless horseshoes stepped on the grass and mud, making a dull roar! The cavalry all roared, and the uproar of people and the roar of iron hoofs
Mixed up.
At this time, several "bang bang bang" sounds were heard, and the Wu army's chariot soldiers fired their heavy crossbows. A dark crossbow bolt whizzed past the cavalry, and then flew diagonally into the air. Although it did not hit anyone, it hit someone hard.
The arrows flashed past, and the formation was terrifying!
Another Wei cavalryman not far away had bad luck. The height of this heavy arrow was just right, and it hit the cavalryman in the abdomen.
"Ah!" A scream sounded, and the cavalryman flew backwards from the galloping horse like a trapeze artist! But one of his feet was caught by the iron stirrup, and his body was pulled in mid-air.
With a "clang", his head hit the ground first and hit the ground hard.
The front group of heavy cavalry lifted up their weighted spears and rushed to the enemy's formation! The chariot soldiers in the enemy's formation stretched out their heavy spears from between the baffles, and several rows of spearmen picked up their extended spears.
in front of.
"Ah, ah..." The Wu soldiers standing there widened their eyes and screamed with all their strength! At this time, the Wei army's cavalry made an extreme detour and suddenly began to turn to the two wings.
With spears over two feet long, the Wu soldiers seemed to be able to stabilize their fearful mentality when faced with the head-on charge of heavy and tall cavalry. After all, the longer spears also increased the distance at which the Wei cavalry finally turned. The Wei cavalry charged several times in a row.
Even though they failed to intimidate the Wu soldiers and spearmen, they retreated!
The first heavy cavalry of the Wei army came to both sides one after another and began to reorganize their ranks. At this time, the light cavalry arrived. They stopped at about a hundred paces, then dismounted one after another, picked up their bows and arrows, and "crackled" toward the enemy formation.
Hit the arrow.
The enemy's chariot soldiers fired back with crossbows on the side carriages, and the light soldiers in the rear also drew their bows and fired. For a while, the sound of the strings was like fried beans, arrows rained down from the air, and screams of pain continued to be heard.
, from time to time someone fell out of the queue.
Behind the Wu army's defense line, the cavalry team that had just come up for reinforcements was the Hua team. They had no time to rest and immediately charged towards Xiong Shou's troops with all kinds of long and short weapons!
Xiong Shou's former troops directly picked up their weighted spears, roared, started to speed up from a jog, and roared into a din. At this time, people could hardly shout a sentence, and they were all shouting randomly, including "kill" and "kill".
Short and cruel words such as "Chong" are the most common.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, bang, bang..." followed by a huge impact! Horses are living creatures. As long as there is a slight gap, they will not hit each other's horses. Most of them are hedging and staggering, and their weapons will hit each other.
The sound of soldiers.
Hundreds of riders mingled fiercely, almost erupting into the momentum of thousands of troops. The sounds were deafening, and the earth seemed to be shaking. There were sharp screams mixed in, and the screams were so weird!
The Wei cavalry carried spears with one arm, and the weighted spears were very heavy. If they were to engage in a melee with this Wu cavalry, as long as they did not throw away those heavy spears, they would definitely not be able to win. But charging in such a dense formation, the group would instantly defeat the enemy.
They gained a huge advantage in a short period of time! Because the Wei army's spear cavalry did not rely on moves at all, but relied entirely on the charge inertia of the war horses. Countless spears rushed through, and the enemy could dodge once, but not twice.
After a round of charge, a large number of empty horses appeared in Wu Jun's cavalry. It was as if a hurricane had hit the people on horseback and the people on the horses were blown away! The horses followed the remaining cavalry and were still running forward desperately.
"Neigh..." In the cry of the horse, even the horse's eyes seemed to be filled with fear. The horse's head jerked forward vigorously, and the horse's mane flew wildly as it ran. The war horse didn't seem to understand why people still didn't hunt for it.
Will kill with all his strength.
Many Wei cavalry threw away their broken spears, took off their long berylliums from their backpacks, and charged straight at the back of the Wu army's infantry formation with red eyes!
"Da da da..." The heavy iron horseshoe trampled on the grass, dust flew up, and the sound was loud. The galloping horse, the black shadow soldier in the fog, roared with his mouth wide open, and his long gleaming cold light
The beryllium pointed straight ahead. Some Wu soldiers behind the formation were so frightened that their hands trembled. Some people kept turning around and running away! Then there was a burst of screams and a loud noise.
The front army of Xiong Shou's tribe rushed south. It was not until the rows of long spears appeared in front of them that the momentum of the cavalry was stopped! The Wu army had already mobilized the spear queues in front to the front and back.
But on the southern battlefield, Yang Wei's large group of cavalry took advantage of the enemy's mobilization and sent heavy cavalry to kill them!
The crowd's shouts of "Ahhhh..." enveloped the ground. The heavy cavalry under Yang Wei's command attacked in columns, charging forward and charging at the infantry formation of the Wu army holding ordinary spears and halberds.
The opportunity to break through this line of defense was fleeting! In this flash of lightning, the Wei army's cavalry no longer cared about the cost, and directly charged into the formation with their heavy cavalry.
The Wu army transferred some additional spear brigades from the front. In some places, the battle line was only resisted by spearmen and halberds. The Wei army did not rein in the horse at all, but kept kicking the horse to speed up! When the horse found that there was no obstacle to avoid, it wanted to stop.
It was too late to get out of the way, and the heavy men and horses followed the inertia and crashed directly into the Wu army's infantry formation!
Among the huge noises, there were crisp clashes of metal and dull crashes. There were even sparks shining among the clouds of dust like surging clouds!
A scream of "Ah!" came out. A Wu Army infantry was stabbed in the chest by a weighted spear. The man weighing more than 100 kilograms, wearing armor, almost jumped back and fell. There was a "click" and the spear was stabbed in the chest.
The wooden pole was also broken, and was also abandoned by the Wei cavalry. The cavalry only had a small buckler left in his left hand, and his body immediately hit a halberd, and screams of pain rang out. However, the noise around them was shaking, and people
The various cries have long been covered up in it.
The Wu army's position in this area was attacked from the front and rear by the Wei army's cavalry. If they failed to hold the defense line at this moment, they would collapse much faster than if they were defeated in an infantry battle!
For a time, the broken troops ran in all directions. From a distance, they looked like a colony of frightened ants. They became sparser and more chaotic as they approached the edge. The Wei army's light cavalry chased and killed in the crowd in groups. The battlefield was horrific and bloody.
The smell spreads quickly.
Yang Wei also rode forward and crossed the previous Wu army's position.
I saw a mess all around, with all kinds of weapons and armors everywhere, corpses and wounded soldiers scattered everywhere. Because the more elite soldiers usually wore armor, many of them were still alive, and the sounds on the battlefield were terrifying. Under the bright sky,
There also seemed to be a yin energy reverberating.
Looking north from here, in the direction of Xianxi, the Wu army's main formation is already faintly visible. The deep flanks of the continuous formation are suddenly exposed in front of Yang Wei. The darkness is so dense that it seems to occupy the entire horizon!
Yang Wei weighed the situation without saying a word for a moment, and then said: "Send people back and order the infantry on the south side of Wei Lake to continue advancing and rush here to support our troops!"
The general immediately cupped his fists and said, "Here!"
Although the general's military order called for the infantry on the southern line to stop on the south side of Wuhu Lake to prevent being surrounded; as the commander-in-chief of the battlefield here, Yang Wei could make decisions on the fly and did not have to strictly abide by the deployment of the Chinese army.
What's more, the previous military order was in written form, and there was a sentence in it: The frontline general can act according to the situation.
