Chapter 200 One of the blood-stained highlands(2/2)
"Rise up! In front of the infantry formation, behind the crossbow formation, the cavalry surrounded Yang Xin with their left and right!"
Murong Yanchao's orders were passed down, and the central army quickly gathered. Two thousand infantrymen raised shields, four hundred people were one layer, and a total of five shields were erected, intercepted Yang Xin, followed the crossbowmen from behind, and the cavalry drove out from the left and right of the infantry formation and rushed towards Yang Xin.
Although Shi Jin's military camp was burned and killed slightly, Murong Yanchao set up a formation in chaos, and the formation was only five or six thousand, but the fifth layer of shields blocked the Tang cavalry like a stubborn stone.
In terms of number, this number is not large. Where can the elite Tiance who travels thousands of miles seriously take it seriously?
Tian Han snorted coldly and gathered his strength to rush towards Liu Zhiyuan's flag. However, what followed him was a sharp sound of breaking through the air!
In a flash, the bows and crossbows moved in a row, and the two hundred cavalry that had first approached fell halfway! Tian Han was furious and led the hundred cavalry to break through! He had reached such a close distance. As long as he broke through and broke through the infantry in the middle, the crossbow soldiers behind him were slaughtered by the cavalry!
Yang Xin, who was behind, secretly shouted "Not good" when he saw it!
The infantry and crossbow cavalry of the Tiance army were very powerful. Although Yang Xin was skilled in cavalry warfare, he was not unfamiliar with infantry formations. When he was in the Guzang Grassland, he had discussed with veteran Anxi how many times he would have discussed with veteran Anxi how the Tang army cavalry would face the Modao Battle Axe formation. At the same time, there were infantry and cavalry battles more than once in military exercises. He was very familiar with how the infantry formations dealt with cavalry!
Isn’t Murong Yanchao’s current counterpart to the Tiance Iron Cavalry a copy of the former Tiance infantry formation against the Khitan Uighur cavalry?
At this time, Tian Han's iron hooves rushed away two shields, but a hook and sickle spear quickly rushed out and hooked the horse's legs. Tian Han's mount was shocked and fell down. Yang Xin was shocked when he saw it from afar.
The cavalry he led had also entered and exited in the Khitan camp. Even though the enemy's troops were several times stronger, they could not cause him such a setback. But he knew that Murong Yanchao was just a fight back and his deputy general was actually lost!
In fact, this may not be because Liu Zhiyuan's generals defeated the Khitan and the Uighurs' elite, but because of the mutual restraint of the troops. Shi Jin's army's core comes from Hedong. Although the cavalry is not weak, the strength of the ves and crossbows is almost as strong as that of Tiance! After all, the accumulation of the Central Plains is placed there, and it cannot be fully surpassed by Zhang Mai's short integration.
At that moment, Yang Xin had several thoughts in his mind and almost wanted to rush over to rescue Tian Han. However, although Yang Xin was so arrogant that he had been cultivated for several years, he had been in the Han army for a long time and naturally knew the strengths of the Han army.
The troops organized by Murong Yanchao were blocking there like a moving city wall. There were many traps behind the layers of walls! Yang Xin, a cavalryman from the Khitan, was not afraid, but the layout from the Central Plains made people feel distressed.
The shield player on the five layers in the front and back was hiding many crises. Yang Xin remembered Guo Wei's instructions again and did not dare to go deeper. Just when his subordinates were inertially about to rush over, Yang Xin made a surprising move. As soon as he drew his silver spear, he led his troops to retreat before Shi Jin's troops reacted.
But Yang Xin did not retreat from the original path, but turned around, and five thousand cavalrymen burned and killed them all the way, breaking a path of life obliquely.
Murong Yanchao felt relieved when he saw Yang Xin retreating. However, after a while, he secretly regretted that he was shocked by the reputation of the King of the Tang Dynasty. He thought that his own troops might not be as good as the Khitan Skin Clan, and the Khitan Skin Clan was said to be unable to stop the King of Guns, so he became timid. But now after thinking about it, he felt that the situation he released was defeating the other party. If Yang Xin was really close, there would be little chance of breaking the Central Army's tent by him. On the contrary, Yang Xin's entire army was trapped here. As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Can you come and go, you can release and release, and the famous generals of the Yang family are indeed well-known!"
——————————
In the distance to the west, Guo Wei led 20,000 infantry and cavalry to ambush. As long as Liu Zhiyuan's troops move, they will launch a counterattack. However, from the Qianli Miles Miles, he saw a fire dragon approaching the center of the enemy's rear camp first, then retreated, sighed softly, and said, "Liu Taiyuan is indeed not Yiyou!"
Xi Weinan asked how to act. Guo Wei ordered the ambushing army to retreat, and then hurriedly ordered Zhe Congshi to pick up Yang Xin. Yang Xin lost more than 500 people in this battle, and these were all elite cavalry! Compared with previous achievements, the casualties ratio is not low, not to mention that even the deputy general was lost. Shi Jin only caught fire in chaos, and Chaicao suffered a lot of losses. In fact, there were not many casualties. Yang Xin returned to the inside of the car formation to apologize to Guo Wei after Zhe Congshi's response. Guo Wei said: "I am eager to achieve it, and I actually want you to attack it at night. I counterattack it. In fact, I should have thought that Liu Taiyuan could not be defeated so easily. This was originally a test, and the fault lies with me!"
Guo Wei didn't expect that Liu Zhiyuan was not in the army at this time!
Xi Weinan said: "General Yang can retreat immediately and preserve the vitality of our cavalry, and have no merits. However, Tian Han is Tian Hao's youngest brother, Tian Hao has sacrificed his life for the country. We cannot ignore his younger brother. We will try to exchange prisoners with the other party early tomorrow morning."
Guo Wei pondered: "Liu Zhiyuan may not be willing to change the current situation. I will send me a letter to Liu Taiyuan first, telling him not to lose our army to prisoners. It depends on the situation of the war in the north. If the situation in the north goes smoothly, Tian Han will not be in danger."
Rely on the North?
Yang Xin's face darkened.
During this period, Zhang Mai's comprehensive strategy only reached the level of Guo Wei and Murong Chunhua. Even people like Yang Xinzhe who were favored by Yang Congshi were not told their true intentions, but Yang Xin still saw something.
"Do you have to rely on the sweat-blooded cavalry to attack the Khitan?" Yang Xin shook his head in his heart.
Although Xue Fu's reputation is great, it...
"He hasn't fought a tough battle for a long time after all!"
This is what Yang Xin once said in half. In the hearts of the newly emerging Central Plains newcomers, the Sweat-Blooded Cavalry is just a long-standing myth.
————————————
Xue Fu, who hadn't fought a tough battle for a long time, put on a mask to cover his handsome face.
The mask was given by Zhang Mai, and the surrounding area was filled with dragon scales.
He stepped onto a sweaty and bloody BMW. On this cold night, there was the fierce cry of the Modao Battle Axe Array in the distance.
He kept holding back his movements because he was waiting for the best opportunity.
"Good comrade!"
The comrades in front are using their lives to consume the strength of the Khitans, while they have to pick up this "big bargain"!
If it weren't for Zhang Mai on it, if Xi Sheng and Liu Heihu both believed that no matter who would win the results in the end, Zhang Mai would know who the greatest contribution of this war was, then the Modao Battle Axe Array would not have thrown his life into it!
"Hehe..." Xue Fu smiled self-deprecatingly. This time, under the reflection of Xi Sheng, he would "easy" attack, but if the victory of his attack could not match the sacrifice of the Modao Battle Axe Formation, then victory would be evaluated as failure. This is in the mind of the highest generals of the Tiance Army.
"Get ready to fight hard!" He gently touched the silver thunder and flying lightning under his crotch with his feet. In the Tiance Army, two thousand-mile horses were named "Flying Lightning", one was Xue Fu's mount, and the other was Zhe Congshi's strolling Cloud Flying Lightning! However, the reputation of the strolling Cloud Flying Lightning in the past two years has far surpassed the former, which is also because the owner of the former has not participated in a war that shocked the battlefield for a long time.
"Are you old?" Xue Fu said.
The silver thunder blew a long hiss, as if it was against it! It walked to the front of the team, and the entire sweat-blooded cavalry regiment changed color!
Unlike the King of Guns and King of Arrows who charge, Xue Fu, who has been promoted to a high-ranking position for a long time, his status is even close to Yang Yi and Guo Luo. In the early Lianglan period, he even became the third largest general after Guo Yang. Such a position is no longer suitable for charging at the forefront!
Some generals were about to come up to advise, but Xue Fu's determination at this time stopped them!
"Tonight, what we want is not victory!"
Everyone was stunned.
Not victory? What is that?
"What we want," Xue Fu said in a deep voice: "It's a big victory! It's a complete victory! It's a victory that will ruin the enemy thousands of miles away! Otherwise, we will be sorry for the Modao brothers who are about to dry their blood in front!"
No one responded because the entire army had been asked not to make a sound, but Xue Fu's words still made everyone feel like there was a muffled thunder hidden in their hearts, unable to explode but in urgent need of explosion!
"Tonight, I will rush to the front!" Xue Fu said: "And even if I die, you don't have to stop, because your mission is not to protect me, but to rush to the front of our goal! Do you know where our goal is?"
No one answered, the cold night is terrifying!
But everyone in the Sweat-Blooded Cavalry Corps knew where their target was!
"Just under the eye-catching flag in the north!" Xue Fu's voice snorted slightly under the mask: "After this night, people in the world will know where the Sweat-Blooded Cavalry Regiment is in the Tiance Army!"
