Chapter 737 The Decisive Battle Before the Decisive Battle (VI)
In order to ensure that the speed of movement and the time of archery is not affected, the archers have only a thin light armor on their body, without the protection of shield players, and their defense is almost undefensive. When Yuchi Gong came over with tens of thousands of Qin Wangjun, who were determined to die, the ten thousand Liang army archers were left with the life of being slaughtered.
The wailing archers had no choice but to retreat, and there was no way to fight.
When they found that the back road was blocked, they could only wave their hard bows to resist. However, this resistance was humble and powerless. Facing the sharp horizontal swords and long spears, their hard bows were not as useful as a wooden stick.
Xu Xuanche's face turned a little pale, and he gritted his teeth and issued two military orders.
"All the archers in the central army gather and shoot arrows with all their strength!"
"The central army stops and sets up a formation!"
The chief minister Guo Hua was stunned and immediately understood what Xu Xuanche meant. He wanted to shoot an archer into an isolated area, and both his own people and the enemy were blocked outside. In other words, in order to restore the decline, Xu Xuanche actually planned to sacrifice the lives of at least 15,000 soldiers in front!
"Master!"
Guo Hua said anxiously: "No! If this is the case, the loss will be too great!"
"If this is not the case, the loss will be greater!"
Xu Xuanche shouted with red eyes.
The battle situation changed rapidly. When the Liang army archers were pressing forward, Xu Xuanche was confident that the victory and defeat had been decided. Perhaps because Li Shimin was really injured, the Qin King's Army did not attack at the most correct time, but instead formed a formation to defend, which gave Xu Xuanche hope for victory. And Yuchi Gong and tens of thousands of troops suddenly attacked at the most incorrect time, which made Xu Xuanche see the possibility of defeat.
So, he gave the order decisively.
If the defeated soldiers of the front army were allowed to rush back and hit the central army array, the tens of thousands of soldiers with red eyes in the Qin King's army could kill the central army in one go! They would kill them behind the butts of the defeated soldiers, and they could not stop them even if they wanted to stop them!
"Reversing the bead curtain..."
Xu Xuanche murmured four words, with a sense of desolation.
Guo Hua's body trembled violently and his expression became ugly.
"Your Majesty has mentioned more than once that Li Mi personally led more than 200,000 troops to besiege Luoyang City, the eastern capital. Wang Shichong burned his boats and used two or three thousand remaining soldiers to fight back, and defeated the 200,000 soldiers in one go! Once the downward bead curtain is formed, Sun Wu will be reborn and Wu Hou will not be able to save the ten thousand archers, and the thousands of light armored infantry behind cannot be saved!"
Xu Xuanche gritted his teeth and said, "The central army formed a formation and then pushed Li Shimin's troops back!"
Guo Hua knew that Xu Xuanche's decision was right. If he felt sorry for the more than 10,000 soldiers in front, perhaps the entire team would fall into a state of doom with him. However, he lost so many people as soon as he fought, which was difficult to accept psychologically. You must know that not long ago, everyone firmly believed that victory belonged to them.
"Guo Hua, you take the supervision team to patrol. The archers shoot out a clearing! Don't feel sorry for the feather arrows, let alone life!"
"Sun Ying looked at it!"
Xu Xuanche turned his head and ordered loudly: "Zheng Wenxiu led his troops to the rear team, and all the remaining cavalry will be handed over to you. Take the cavalry around the flank and cut Li Shimin's men and horses from the middle to me! The enemy has no cavalry, which is their fatal flaw! Remember, this battle is now related to life and death. If we are defeated... I am afraid that the defenders in the city will be desperate. They have been trapped for more than a month, and there are probably not many food and grass in the city. Even if the soldiers have the will to die, the people have not! Once a rebellion occurs in the city, Xiangyang will be lost... What are your faces? "
"Here!"
Sun Yingjian agreed loudly and urged his horse to rush towards the cavalry.
I hope there will be no trouble in the back team’s baggage battalion!
Xu Xuanche prayed in his heart, and his face became more and more serious.
The sound of trumpets sounded, and the messengers ran back and forth to convey Xu Xuanche's orders. The central army that was advancing forward immediately stopped, and a large number of archers began to gather, and then under the command of middle and low-level generals, they kept firing arrows in front of them. In front of them, there were not only enemies, but also tens of thousands of robes.
But war is war, without any mercy.
"Escape!"
The remaining soldiers of the Liang army, wailing and fleeing in all directions, were not ruthless than the Qin Wang army. There were tens of thousands of enemy troops in front and the arrow formation of the supervisor team behind. They had no way to escape, but what else could they do besides escaping now?
drop!
They can also surrender.
But soon, the defeated soldiers who begged for surrender found that their begging would not be a chance for a lifetime. Those soldiers of the Qin King Army who were so angry that they had lost their weapons, and as long as they were wearing Liang Jun robe, whether they surrendered or did not surrender, they would cut them down with one knife.
The body was covered with a thick layer on the ground, so that the Qin King's army's way forward became particularly bumpy.
...
...
When Sun Yingkan led more than 10,000 cavalry to the flank and into the Qin King's array, the battle situation finally changed. The Qin King's soldiers defeated the Liang army's front army with a sense of morale of seeking survival, but were stopped by the stopping Liang army's arrow formation. Immediately, the Liang army cavalry poked into their array like a knife from the side, and immediately despised a wave of blood.
Yuchi Gong looked back and his face turned particularly ferocious.
"Don't worry about the back team, keep rushing forward!"
He shouted loudly, and the messengers around him continued to blew the horn of attack. The rushing formation was cut in half by the cavalry, and about 10,000 people behind him lost contact with the front team. But if the troops in front turned around and returned to rescue, the situation that finally formed would collapse immediately!
More than 15,000 people have been lost before the situation is opened. If we return for the ten thousand people behind, the light of dawn will be completely wiped out in the darkness. Therefore, Yuchi Gong resolutely decided to abandon the more than 10,000 people in the back team and continue moving forward!
The soldiers who lost Han Shi'e, the backbone, regarded Yuchi Gong as their new leader at this time. At this time, most of them chose to obey Yuchi Gong's military orders.
The Qin Wangjun, who ignored the rear team, gritted his teeth and continued to rush forward, and rushed towards the Liang army in a dense rain of arrows. At this time, they were like wolves in a desperate situation. Only by opening their mouths and biting them regardless of their lives can they tear apart a path in a desperate situation.
Go ahead and follow!
The soldiers in front were just overturned by feather arrows, and the soldiers behind rushed up on the body of their comrades.
Soon, after losing more than 3,000 people, the Qin King's army's team of about 20,000 people was divided into two teams and crashed into the Liang army's central army array. Just like two giant currents collided on a solid and thick embankment, at this moment, it seemed that the world and the earth were still. The fierce fighting also lost its color and sound. Perhaps at this time, everyone could not see any color or hear any sound in their eyes.
Some people stared at everything that was happening in front of them in a daze, as if they had forgotten where they were.
Looking at the ferocious faces around me, sharp knives, blood, and corpses, my mind was blank!
Finally, a scream pulled the lost person out of the pale state. The lost Liang soldier heard the scream and realized that a slightly hot layer of blood was splashed on his face. He subconsciously looked to the side, and then saw his comrade-comrade who had a blood hole in his throat.
The blood waterfall sprayed outward, refracting a strange color in the sunlight.
When he took his gaze back from the blood hole in his comrade's neck beside him, his pupils instantly expanded to the extreme!
A horizontal knife fell from the air and slashed heavily on his shoulder with a puff. The blade was no longer sharp. The horizontal knife that had broken out many gaps failed to cut off his shoulder and was stuck in the bone. He screamed bitterly, and subconsciously stabbed the knife in his hand forward.
puff!
His horizontal knife penetrated into the heart of the enemy in front of him, and another warm and sticky blood sprayed on his face. His eyes were confused and he also sprayed into his mouth.
This kind of smell, who survived by chance, often appeared in his mouth in the future. Even when he was eating and drinking water, he often vomited for no reason. I don’t know how many nights there were in his dreams that a blood hole appeared in his neck, and the enemy who had been stabbed through his heart.
Blood
Blood is everywhere.
When the Liang army soldier who fainted from pain woke up again, the bloody battle was over. But he never thought that how could his destiny suddenly change without knowing it?
...
...
Just after the Qin King's army, which had more than 10,000 people in the back team, was divided, just after Yuchi Gong ordered to continue moving forward, a team of cavalry rushed from the northwest crashed into the Liang army's cavalry, like two huge pythons. Later, this one bit hard on the other.
Soon, the two giant pythons became entangled.
Later, the giant python was a cavalry led by Li Shimin himself!
Li Shimin, who was originally ambushed in the east of Xiangyang City, changed his original intention because of Yuchi Gong. He knew that the fighter opportunity was fleeting. Although Yuchi Gong violated his order, he also opened a door to victory! Since this door has been opened, even if it is just a small gap, how could he let it go?
Li Shimin personally brought all the cavalry to come as fast as possible, and then knocked the unprepared Liang cavalry into pieces.
The subsequent Qin King soldiers joined the battle group one after another. The more than 10,000 cavalry of the Liang army were originally a quick knife that cut the enemy's army, but when the reinforcements led by Li Shimin arrived, the tens of thousands of cavalry seemed to fall into a mud pond. After defeating the Liang army's cavalry, Li Shimin immediately took the remaining cavalry into a circle, increased the speed of the war horses and crashed into the Liang army's central army.
Liang Jun rear team.
Looking at the baggage camp that was already on fire, Zheng Wenxiu was in tears.
More than 80% of the Qin King cavalry, who had suffered casualties, finally set a lot of fire in the baggage camp. The barbaric and cruel Qin King general actually divided three teams of 1,000 cavalry to attack the heavy armored infantry. Then he led the few cavalry around the heavy armored square formation and set fire everywhere in the baggage camp. He sacrificed three thousand cavalry in exchange for burning the Liang Army's baggage camp, which was not too brilliant victory.
Why didn't he feel sorry for the life and death of his cavalry?
When Zheng Wenxiu brought cavalry to support him, the remaining cavalry of the Qin King Army who had set fire had already withdrawn from the battle group. Looking at the smoked baggage camp, Zheng Wenxiu's mind for no reason.
Si Shisan didn't feel sorry for the cavalry, he didn't feel sorry for the at all.
He withdrew from the battle group with less than a thousand cavalry and looked at the chaotic situation, Si Shisan suddenly grinned.
Li Shimin, please enjoy the rare joy. This may be your last joy. Is it more thorough to take revenge on someone than to destroy his hope when he sees endless hope?
He told himself in his heart that revenge is not the whole thing. His sister died for the revival of the family. How could he die easily? To take revenge and revival, he cannot simply kill someone!
He looked at the fight with bright eyes.
The situation of fighting in the front became clearer. Although the Qin King's army was few, under the attack of Yuchi Gong's fearlessness, the central army of Liang's army was defeated again! The defeated soldiers attacked the rear team, and the downward bead curtain that Xu Xuanche was most reluctant to see was formed, and even the gods could not save it!
"Congratulations to the King of Qin!"
Si Shisan pulled out the plug of the wine bag, raised the wine bag and shouted. More than a thousand cavalry remaining behind him neatly hit his breastplate with a horizontal knife, and with a snap, he seemed to be full of fighting spirit.
"For a soft!"
Si Shisan said silently in his heart and drank a big sip of wine.
