Turbulent Times Chapter 1208: Charge
Wang Junlin's invincible deeds are there, especially since the Battle of Goguryeo was less than half a year ago, even though Li Zixiong had four times as many troops as Wang Junlin, he was still facing a formidable enemy.
However, Li Zixiong did not have the slightest fear, and even because he was dealing with Wang Junlin, a legendary figure in the world, he seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, because as long as he killed Wang Junlin today, his reputation would definitely shake the world. Fame is very important for the troubled times that are about to emerge.
The most important thing is that on the way he dispatched troops here, Yu Wenhuaji of the Yuwen family found him, and he also brought an imperial edict.
The imperial decree was for Yu Wenshu and his son to ask Wang Junlin for the antidote, but at the end there was a sentence saying that if the antidote was not given, they could be surrounded and killed.
Li Zixiong was very skeptical about the authenticity of the last sentence of the imperial decree, but he was happy to see it come true, because it gave him some legitimacy in privately dispatching troops to surround and kill Wang Junlin.
So he acted more and more recklessly, and quickly launched an operation in advance, sending a large number of spies in the direction of Wang Junlin's arrival, and was able to judge Wang Junlin's route in advance, thus blocking the 20,000 troops under his command in Wang Junlin ahead.
When Wang Junlin led more than 4,000 people to the pass, the sun was setting and the moon was rising, the sky was already dark, and it was night.
At this time, Yu Wenhua and hundreds of Yuwen masters were also in Li Zixiong's army.
Yu Wenhuaji looked at the morale of the army under the leadership of Li Zixiong, and found that Li Zixiong's men and horses looked like a strong army. Junlin, you must not underestimate the enemy! To tell you the truth, we besieged and killed Wang Junlin near Luoyang City, mobilizing 10,000 cavalry, and we were defeated by him head-on."
Li Zixiong said vigorously: "Lord Yuwen, don't worry, the reason you mobilized 10,000 cavalry is because the three families gathered together temporarily and lacked cooperation. This time, 20,000 horses will be used to deal with Wang Junlin's less than 5,000 cavalry. If you can catch it, you will definitely be able to surround and kill it if you pay a certain price. Of course, in the face of people like Wang Junlin, you will never take it lightly. Just waiting for the general to tie Wang Junlin in front of you and hand it over to your Yuwen family
Reason..."
Li Zixiong was talking, and far away, on the other side of the hill, a black shadow spread up with a little bit of fire.
It was more than 4000 cavalry led by Wang Junlin. Arrows on the tarpaulin.
Li Zixiong's expression froze, and he shouted: "Fix the formation!"
The sound spread, and tens of thousands of people under his command shouted in unison: "Formation..." This orderly sound shook the entire night sky in an instant, and thousands of infantrymen were on the field. They huddled together, their shields were raised, their spears were like forests, and their archers raised their bows. Immediately afterwards, the second formation shouted in unison: "Find formation..." Then the third formation... ...the fourth array...
Li Zixiong was able to guard the Great Sui and Liaodong, and the men under his command were indeed elite soldiers. At this time, the morale of the entire battle formation is boosted by this kind of neat shouting during battle, and the effect is also very good. How much difference is there between the loud shouting of thousands of people and the loud shouting of tens of thousands of people? If you have not actually experienced it, It is also difficult for ordinary people to imagine.
When tens of thousands of people drink in unison like this, it is enough to make people feel that the 20,000 people will definitely work together and their morale is like a rainbow. Yu Wenhuaji was also born in the general family, and he is a man who knows soldiers well. Compared with the 10,000 cavalry he ambushed Wang Junlin outside Luoyang City nearly a month ago, there is indeed a big difference, because the two ambush Wang Junlin The confidence lost in King's Landing's failure couldn't help being filled again.
Arrows are like locusts, flying across the night sky.
There was not much psychological preparation. After Wang Junlin and his party shot the rockets, they faced the same rain of arrows and did not intend to slow down. It was just that everyone was wearing iron armor, and the horses had thin armor on their heads. The cavalrymen held thin armored shields from Snake Island in Fanyang County, and swung the weapons in their left hands like the wind, knocking arrows into the air.
In the front row of Li Zixiong's army, the infantry had packed their horses tightly into a large airtight area. On the side of the army formation, 5,000 cavalry under Li Zixiong's command were also galloping and mobilizing.
Under normal circumstances, the cavalry on the battlefield is facing an iron barrel-like defense. After the first round of archery, the cavalry's cavalry will circle to the side,
Keep your distance and look for fighters. But this night, nothing happened as expected.
The 20,000-strong army stretched forward, and the front row of more than 4,000 cavalry rushed through the so-called "land of one arrow", except for a few cavalry who were hit by arrows, they had already been left behind the brigade . The others actually maintained a very good charge formation during the high-speed running, as if they were a whole.
Watching this scene, Li Zixiong was shocked. This is what the most elite cavalry in the legend can do. After all, facing a rain of arrows and running at high speed, it is almost impossible for all the cavalry to maintain the same speed all the time, but Wang Junlin in front of him With this cavalry, it was done.
"It's so neat, how to train and how to do it." Li Zixiong looked incredible, but he didn't know that this was because Wang Junlin's army had always paid great attention to training queues, but on the other hand It was because the blood-maned horse under Wang Junlin's crotch was the real emperor among horses. As it neighed, the other war horses would naturally follow closely behind Wang Junlin and charge.
Soon, the distance between the two sides was already so close that there was no chance for both sides to shoot arrows.
When about forty steps away, Wang Junlin suddenly shouted: "Still!"
A grenade came out from the hands of his subordinates and fell into Li Zixiong's army. Amidst the explosion, Li Zixiong's side screamed in pain. Although they did not collapse immediately, many morale were blown away.
Everyone drew out their respective weapons such as steel knives and iron spears, and drank violently, their eyes flushed with blood. Together, running together, as if all the cavalry were connected by some invisible rope, they rushed straight to the front of Li Zixiong's army.
At this moment, no one can retreat.
"Could it be a serial horse, but I can't see the rope!" Yu Wenhuaji had just told Li Zixiong that Wang Junlin had a grenade in his hand. The battle formation was restored to a certain extent, but Yu Wenhuaji was somewhat knowledgeable. He was also surprised by the uniformity of the cavalry formation under Wang Junlin's command, and at the same time, he couldn't help muttering to himself.
