Chapter 123: Anxious Battlefield (3) [Two in One](2/2)
Le Yi pondered for a moment, then suddenly made a decision and said in a deep voice: "Send an order to Sima Shang to order his cavalry to get ready and attack!"
This sudden order made Han Wangran glance at Le Yi, and at the same time, the expression on his face became much more solemn.
As he said before, he did not expect to be able to defeat the Wei army, but he only had the slightest fantasy about it. After all, if the situation had not been unavoidable, he would definitely not cede the royal capital Handan to the Wei state.
The key to this last bit of reverie about victory lies in the more than 40,000 Daijun heavy cavalry. Although the Northern Yan Army has been preparing for this battle for more than 20 days, it still depends on whether it can win in the end.
Can Sima Shang's cavalry successfully catch the Wei army's infantry and defeat them?
"yes!"
The messengers were ordered to go, and after a while they arrived about five miles southwest of the main formation. There, Han general Sima Shangzheng led the 40,000 generations of heavy cavalry in a serious position, and then waited for the deployment of the main formation.
After receiving the message from the messenger, Han general Sima Shang said in a deep voice: "I know this, please tell General Le, please give our army a moment to burn incense, and then our army will win for him."
Commanding the entire South Korea, and perhaps even the most lethal army in the entire Central Plains, Sima Shang still has some confidence.
Even if they are facing Wei's army.
Of course, the premise is that Wei Jun will not play any tricks like the one outside Julu City before.
In fact, Sima Shang was not the only one to be wary of this. As the commander of the Korean army in this battle, Le Yi always paid attention to the actions of every Wei army on the battlefield.
He can guarantee that the Wei army did not play any tricks this time, such as digging dense horseshoe pits on the battlefield in advance.
Of course, it was precisely because of this that Le Yi dared to release the beast of Dai Jun Heavy Cavalry.
It has to be said that before winter last year, Zhao Hongrun killed nearly ten thousand generations of county cavalry in a mere horseshoe pit in Julu City. This was simply a nightmare that the Korean soldiers did not want to recall.
"Hope everything goes well..."
Le Yi thought secretly.
At this time, on the viewing platform of the Wei army's main formation, the prince of Wei State, Zhao Run, finally said a word after blowing the cool breeze for a long time: "Here we come!"
This sudden remark frightened Zhai Huang, who was standing by. After all, he had been commanding the battles in recent times, and His Highness the Crown Prince was just watching the battle silently, so that with full concentration, Zhai Huang
I even forgot that there was such a person beside me.
"What's coming?"
After subconsciously answering the question, Zhai Huang himself came to his senses.
What else could be coming? It could just be the Forty Bandai County Heavy Cavalry.
The prince next to him stood on the viewing platform several feet high, silently paying attention to every battle, wasn't he just waiting for the cavalry?
"Send my order!"
Just when Zhai Huang was secretly guessing, he saw Zhao Hongrun ordering the waiting soldiers: "Order Gu Tao to be ready immediately and wait for the signal from the viewing platform at any time."
With that said, he turned to Zongwei Chu Heng and said, "Chu Heng, do you still remember what I told you before?"
"Your Highness, don't worry." Chu Heng nodded and said naively.
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun once again focused his attention on the battlefield.
To be honest, there was no sign from the Korean army at this moment that Le Yi was about to dispatch the 40,000 Dai County heavy cavalry. Zhao Hongrun only predicted this from the fatigue of the Northern Yan army on the opposite side.
Apart from that, it is a kind of feeling, or intuition, that cannot be explained clearly.
Regarding this kind of estimation, Zhao Hongrun has no pressure. Anyway, it doesn't matter if he guesses wrong. The worst thing is that after today's battle is over, the stone bullets and other objects in the throwing baskets of those trebuchets will be unloaded; conversely,
, if you ignore your intuition and it is too late to respond, it will be too late to regret it.
But the facts proved that Zhao Hongrun's judgment was quite accurate.
After about one stick of incense, Zhao Hongrun saw a "black line" faintly appearing on the northern horizon.
Immediately, this 'black line' gradually expanded and gradually became a strip, and then assimilated large areas of land.
Along with this scene, there was a corresponding rumble like thunder from the north. The sound was really earth-shattering, and the earth shook. Even though they were far away, Zhao Hongrun seemed to still be able to feel it.
The viewing platform beneath my feet was shaking slightly.
Fortunately, the loyal guards of the East Palace immediately gathered around the spectators and tightly hugged the pillars and beams of the foundation with their arms. This allowed Zhao Hongrun, Zhai Huang and others on the spectator platform to stand firm again.
As for my legs being weak due to standing at a high place.
"What a terrifying momentum..."
After swallowing his saliva, Zhai Huang murmured.
In his eyes, the 40,000 generations of heavy cavalry far away in the horizon had not yet arrived at the main line of the Han army. Of course, they had not caused any casualties to the Wei army. But even so, looking at the steel that seemed to be pouring down like a mountain torrent,
Despite the torrent, Zhai Huang's scalp was still numb and goosebumps appeared all over his body.
It has to be said that no one who is not there can understand the fear and uneasiness of facing that kind of terrifying iron cavalry.
"Order the front army to retreat! Retreat quickly!"
Zhao Hongrun ordered in a deep voice.
Immediately, the sound of gold ringing representing the retreat was heard from the Wei army's main position.
In fact, at this time, the Wei soldiers who were fighting bravely on the front line also noticed something was wrong - how could they not notice this movement that seemed like the sky was falling apart and the earth was shaking?
Any Wei soldiers with some knowledge would have thoughts like "Oh no! The Korean Daijun cavalry has attacked!" However, there was still no order issued from the formation, so they could only bite the bullet and stay where they were.
Just land.
But now, since the formation ordered the retreat with the ringing sound of gold, and reminded the Wei troops to retreat quickly with the sound of rapid knocking, the soldiers of the Wei army did not hesitate, turned around and ran away with their shields on their backs.
Seeing this scene, Han General Le Yi waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't chase, the whole army disperses and makes way for the Daijun cavalry!... Come, please quickly send an order to General Zhao Cong.
Be ready to attack, and when the Daijun cavalry arrives, ask him to attack immediately and join in the battle!"
After the general issued the order, the entire Korean army array dispersed to both sides. During the evacuation, the Korean soldiers removed nearby antlers, horses, and even the corpses of friendly troops to clear obstacles for the Daijun cavalry as much as possible.
.
At this time, the Daijun heavy cavalry under Han general Sima Shang had not yet entered the sprint stage. Therefore, even if some Han soldiers had no time to retreat and could only stay in place, those Daijun cavalry with superb riding skills could not
The friendly troops who collided with him passed by the infantry one after another.
But even so, the infantrymen were shocked to see that their faces were pale, their brows were covered in cold sweat, and they looked as if they were frightened after escaping from death.
Finally, the Shiwandai County cavalry crossed the Korean army's main position and looked at the Korean cavalry coming like a flood. Generals such as Gan Mao, Nanmen Chi, Chen Xie, Xu Jiong and others who were too late to retreat for some reason
, I just felt my scalp was numb - there was no way, who allowed the soldiers under their command to carry many war weapons such as turtle-shell chariots, Wugang chariots, and crossbow chariots.
Fortunately, they had already ordered war weapons such as turtle-shell chariots, Wugang chariots, and crossbow chariots to form a circle and build strongholds one by one.
Especially the tortoise-shell chariots. No matter how powerful the Korean heavy cavalry is in terms of lethality, it is doomed to be helpless against such iron-walled chariots. If the two collide, the Korean cavalry will definitely be bruised and bloody.
It is precisely for this reason that when Han general Sima Shang led his cavalry to chase the retreating Wei soldiers, he saw the strongholds surrounded by tortoise-shell chariots, Wugang chariots and other war weapons, and immediately chose to avoid this kind of stronghold.
, just leave it to the Wu An Army behind them.
All they need to do is go straight towards the Wei army's main formation and destroy the opponent in one go!
"Boom——"
"Boom——"
Accompanied by a thunderous sound, the heavy cavalry of Shiwandai County headed toward the Wei army's main formation like a tide.
During this period, all the Wei troops who were about to be overtaken by these heavy cavalry fled to the east and west, which in disguise reduced the obstacles for Daijun's cavalry to advance.
At this moment, the only thing Sima Shang cares about is the more than two hundred crossbow chariots in front of the Wei army's main formation, as well as the Wei army's last line of defense, which has been neatly formed. As long as he can defeat this, then this battle will be a victory for his Korean army.
!
Thinking of this, he raised his hand and pointed forward, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Target! The Wei army's main formation ahead! Charge!"
With an order, the speed of Shibandai County's heavy cavalry once again increased to a higher level.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the Wei soldiers and generals in the Wei army's main formation inevitably showed a look of horror.
Even Zhai Huang persuaded with sincerity and fear: "Your Highness, the enemy cavalry is heading straight towards our army's main formation. The general is worried that the more than two hundred crossbow chariots cannot stop this army. Please withdraw immediately..."
However, Zhao Hongrun's expression was still very calm. He said calmly: "Don't panic, those more than two hundred crossbow chariots are just a cover..." After that, he turned to Zongwei Chu Heng and signaled: "Chu Heng!"
Zongwei Chu Heng nodded, pulled up the flag with the word "Wei" erected on the high platform, and waved it with all his strength.
Seeing the signal from the high platform, next to the two giant trebuchets distributed on the left and right sides of the rear formation, the three thousand-man general Gu Tao and his deputy "Chen Fen" gave the order almost at the same time: "Let go!
"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
There were two earth-shaking muffled sounds, and two huge stone bullets were thrown high amidst the deafening roar.
"Catapult?"
Han general Sima Shang, who was in the sprint stage, also noticed the movement on the side of the Wei army's main formation, and at first he smiled contemptuously in his heart.
Use catapults to deal with his 40,000 cavalry? Who came up with this idea?
However, after a moment, he was stunned, looking up at the sky, and his eyes widened in shock.
Chapter completed!
