Chapter 146 Reverse Rolling Bead Curtain
Chapter 146 Reverse Bead Curtain
As dusk approaches, the sky is covered with dark clouds and is drooping.
Although it has not rained yet, the wind has risen. The wind in the sky has rolled up the flags on the battle flag, and dust and dead leaves are flying together!
The sky was extremely dark, but it was already dark in the evening. In the flying sand and rocks, 180,000 troops of the two armies were fighting on the front line that lasted for nearly twenty miles.
Canyons, woods, hillsides, and people everywhere.
The cavalry shouted and the war horses neighed wildly!
The spear is like a forest, and the sword is like snow!
The hundreds of war drums on the North Ridge still did not stop at this time, with the sound of drums and the sound of big horns and long horns.
After receiving Chen Kefu's order, Mao Yi, on the west, resolutely played the drag-on technique. With five thousand Chen Kefu reinforced his troops, his layers of defense were even more perfect. When Mr. Li Benlei in the east, he was also amused and crying when he received Chen Kefu's order to attack the Liao people's central army. In the current situation, there was no need for Chen Kefu to issue such orders to them.
The madman Guo Xiaoke had already led the nose of their entire cavalry unit and was constantly rushing towards the direction of the central army. He could not even keep up. The heavy cavalry brigade was too precious, and he could not let such a unit attack the flanks of the Liao people alone.
However, although Guo Xiaoke was fierce, the cavalry had been attacking for so long, and at this time they were almost unable to rush. The speed slowly slowed down. At this time, Yuan Gai Tong took advantage of this rare opportunity to start gathering with the cavalry again. Although there were not many people gathering, they had already begun to slowly block the cavalry of the Sui army on the left wing of the central army.
Yuan Taizuo had been through the battle for a long time and knew that both soldiers were very tired at this time. Whoever broke the opponent's formation first might win the final victory. He personally wore armor and carried a golden steel wolf teeth stick in hand, rode a beautiful white horse, and led a large number of Goguryeo City Lords, lords, and generals, with the most elite white horse camp and the elite guards of the nobles, stared at the right wing.
There was Liu Tiezhu's Fifth Division, the Sui army faced by the Goguryeo Central Army. The heavy infantry brigade led by Li Shimin and the two brothers attacked the middle of the Goguryeo Central Army, while the infantry of Zhang He's Fourth Division attacked the left wing of the Goguryeo people.
Except for the six thousand men of Li Shimin and his brothers, who kept stabbing into the Liao formation like a pointed cone. Liu Tiezhu's Fifth Division was not strong. This army was originally stationed in the four cities of Xincheng. It can be said that it had never seen blood before coming, but had only conducted an urgent marches. In terms of the quality of the soldiers in the army, it was even worse than the weakest Zhanghe Fourth Division in the original Liaodong City.
Although Zhang He's Fourth Division was the weakest division in Liaodong City, he later added a group of strong civilians to the civilians in Liaodong City. A few days ago, he participated in the ambush of Gao Yuzhen and others in Liaodong City. Although the battle was very embarrassing, fortunately he had already experienced it once.
However, Liu Tiezhu's Fifth Division was a little weaker than the Fourth Division. As soon as he received the order, Chen Kefu asked Liu Tiezhu and Li Benlei to rush to Xincheng overnight. The troops and horses he brought were all temporarily selected by the civilians overnight, and there was no time to select many strong men for a while.
After entering the new city defense, he was busy strengthening the city defense and did not have much time to train. This time, Chen Kefu was transferred to the battle. Except for the veterans of the 1,000 people, the entire Fifth Division was full of rookies.
As soon as the drum sounded and the battle started, the new soldiers and veterans could easily be separated. Although the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division were still in a state of unstable formation, they had fought a battle at least. Many soldiers had already adapted to the killing on the battlefield, especially those veterans who were lower-level officers. That day, they only rushed up in the ambush battle in Liaodong City, and forgot the responsibility of an officer. Chen Kefu criticized him in front of the three armies. After returning to the barracks, he was called by the division commander Zhang He and scolded him hard. Then, he gave all the officers a temporary battlefield command class again.
When they went to the battlefield again, these veterans could already remember their responsibilities. Although they often rushed to the front as soon as they killed each other, no one finally lost their soldiers.
However, the Fifth Division, which is now in charge of the right wing, is a real rookie unit. Their performance is completely a replica of the 4th Division's ambush in Liaodong City that day. Fortunately, the Sui army is fighting offensively today, not defense. The soldiers of the Fifth Division were very loudly under the leadership of those veterans. The performance of the platoon leaders of the Fifth Division was completely the same as those of the 4th Division that day.
Together with the sword and war, they all fought for the first place, fearing that they would fall behind. Thousands of veterans rushed to the front line, but their subordinates all became follow-up troops. Those who rushed to the front were all platoon leaders of each squad, and were basically veterans who had passed by the army camp.
After fighting for several hours, the veterans suffered heavy casualties, and the loopholes on the right wing suddenly appeared. Without those veterans, the right wing's impact on the Liao army basically had little threat, and was even retaliated by the Liao people many times, killing them to retreat.
When pinching persimmons, you need to pick the soft ones, and the same goes for war.
Yuan Taizuo led his Shengli Branch and went directly to the Fifth Division of the right wing, and turned a blind eye to the situation of the middle formation and the left wing. The Sui army mainly focused on heavy infantry brigades and continued to kill the right wing and central army of the Liao people, and the Liao people's soldiers continued to retreat.
On the other hand, Yuan Taizuo turned a blind eye to the situation on his right and led the new force to kill the Fifth Division on the right wing of the Sui Army. The waves of offensives were like waves. The officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division, who had been fighting for several hours, were not strong in combat and lacked reasonable command from grassroots officers, so they were all fighting each other.
Yuan Taizuo's White Horse Battalion was powerful. The White Horse Battalion, which had been raising energy, was originally the strongest force in the Liao army. At this time, when the action was taken, it was a torrent of a dike. The vast white area was like an avalanche. The light infantry of the Fifth Division had never seen such a scene. They had made them fight against cavalry with their stairs, but they lacked the timely command of officers, and could not even form a decent line of defense. They were completely defeated by the charge higher than that of the elite soldiers of the Baima Battalion and the Liao nobles in just a few rounds.
The officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division kept retreating, but Yuan Taizuo had no chance to breathe. He did not give the Fifth Division's troops a chance to breathe. He ignored the situation where his right wing and the middle wing of his middle wing were also attacked, but he turned a blind eye to the Fifth Division of the Sui Army's right wing.
Liu Tiezhu, the commander of the Fifth Division, was now led by a team of personal guards, who were chased by the Liao people and retreated, and he felt indescribable. He thought that since he entered the Pojun Camp, they had been chasing the Goguryeo people all the way, and their opponents were like dogs of a broken family. But now, the major general commander of the Fifth Division of the Liaodong Army, with more than 10,000 troops under his command, was chased by more than 10,000 Liao people behind him, and had nowhere to escape.
"Form a formation! Form a formation!"
Liu Tiezhu kept shouting, hoping that the soldiers could stop and form infantry formations to defend.
But his throat was almost broken, and every time there were only dozens or hundreds of people who were led by veterans to form a formation. But every time there was no need to wait until the Liao soldiers rushed over. Basically, they were just dozens of Liao vanguards, and their formation was broken.
Yuan Taizuo had a sneer on his lips, and he leaned down on his horse, tightly biting the more than 10,000 Sui soldiers in front of him.
"Master, let the men surround you. These Sui people were scared. As long as they surrounded them, we could wipe them out in less than an hour." A city lord ran next to Yuan Taizuo on a horse. He didn't expect that the seemingly brave Sui people were so vulnerable. However, there were few people who dared to turn around and fight with them all the way.
"Encircle it? Why did I surround it? What can I do if I kill all the Sui people? What I want is the victory of this battle. Let the brothers continue to drive them away. We will go around their right front and drive all the Sui troops to the left wing and the middle formation. I will let these Sui people help them break through their own back formation!"
When the several nobles next to him heard this, their eyes lit up. At this time, the melee in the canyon, just annihilation of the Sui army in front of them did not have much effect on the entire battle. However, if they drove these Sui army and attacked their own left wing and the back formation of the middle formation, the Sui people would be in chaos and they would take advantage of the situation to kill in. Their own troops in the central army's formation would attack on each side, and the chaotic Sui army would inevitably be defeated.
Once the Sui army in the central army was defeated, the initiative on the entire battlefield would be completely in their hands. These Goguryeo people who grew up in the mountains and forests in the northeast were best at hunting, while the Sui army was best at formations.
If one moves the whole body, one will destroy the entire army.
The Liao generals and nobles seemed to have seen victory at this time. They smiled happily and shouted at their own soldiers and horses, roared and rode their war horses at lightning speed. Hulala divided a group of soldiers and horses directly detoured to the right front of the Fifth Division, and tied the horses together. The Goguryeo cavalry waved their sabers and spears, and began to drive away the long-awaited soldiers and horses of the Fifth Division, and rushed towards the rear formation of the Fourth Division and the Heavy Infantry Brigade.
