Turbulent Times Chapter 1274: Yang Su’s trump card
Thousands of dead soldiers were completely killed, and after being fiddled aside, the front of the Far Eastern Army continued to push forward. They just pushed forward and killed more than a hundred steps. When the rebel army was about to be completely defeated, another three or four thousand dead soldiers with crazy faces rushed out from among the rebel army, and used the same method to suppress the offensive of the Far East Army. He abruptly blocked it again, and held on for a while.
Following this group of dead soldiers, four groups of dead soldiers rushed out one after another in one breath, entangled the front of the Far Eastern Army forcefully.
Wang Junlin, who was watching the battle in the rear on a blood-maned horse in the middle army, saw this scene, and his pupils shrank suddenly. He didn't expect Yang Su to get so many dead soldiers, and to adopt such a style of play so decisively.
Yang Su invested tens of thousands of dead soldiers at one time, of course it was not as simple as letting the front line of the Far East Army be entangled.
When four waves of dead soldiers rushed out, Wang Junlin saw a cavalry force of 20,000 people suddenly rushing out from the camp behind the rebel formation, and circled towards them at the speed of the wind. The side of the Far Eastern Army's right wing rushed over.
Wang Junlin's face suddenly changed slightly, because he could see at a glance that the 20,000 cavalry was a real elite soldier, and when he recognized the middle-aged general who commanded the cavalry, his expression changed for the first time. Weiwei became serious, and at the same time knew the origin of the 20,000 cavalry.
The chief general who rushed to the right flank of the Far Eastern Army with 20,000 fine riders was Li Zixiong, the former chief of the Youzhou march and one of the great generals of the Sui Dynasty. The 20,000 fine riders were obviously brought by Li Zixiong from Youzhou.
It's just that with Wang Junlin's powerful intelligence ability, he didn't get any information about how the 20,000 Youzhou Jingqi came to Yang Su's army in advance.
"Mostly they were broken up into pieces, disguised as ordinary people, and sent to Hongnong County in batches after a lot of time." Wang Junlin can only think of this kind of explanation.
This is a 20,000-strong elite rider from Youzhou. They have been fighting against enemy countries such as Khitan, Turks, and Goguryeo all year round. Their combat power, experience, and riding and shooting skills are all top-notch in the world. , The weapons are also excellent, far from what other rebels can compare.
And the 20,000 people took advantage of the opportunity won by the tens of thousands of dead soldiers, and braved the rain of arrows from the rear of the Far Eastern Army, they were getting closer and closer to the right flank of the Far Eastern Army at a speed like a gust of wind.
Li Zixiong is a great general trained by Yang Su, and only a person like Yang Su can train a great general in the Sui Dynasty, and the one who can be named a great general in the Sui Dynasty can't be Yi Yi's generation, with vision And the timing is even more extraordinary. At this time, with 20,000 fine cavalry, they successfully broke through the crossbow interception.
The incident happened suddenly without warning, and the Youzhou cavalry was extremely fast, so when 20,000 Youzhou fine cavalry rushed to the right flank of the Far Eastern Army, the Far Eastern Army's long spear battle was not as calm as before, and it seemed a bit In a panic, the direction of the spear formation on the right flank had not been completely turned, and a big gap was rushed out at the first time, and thousands of soldiers of the Far East Army were killed.
But the iron-like discipline of the soldiers trained by Nie Xiaoyu's Snake Island training camp played a turning role at this moment. Skilled and quick formation, and when the formation of the Far East Army is formed, even the Youzhou Jingqi is difficult to shake.
…
…
The frontal battle with tens of thousands of rebel dead soldiers continued, the right-wing Far Eastern Army shot arrows all over the sky, the Youzhou cavalry was like a torrent of waves, and the Far Eastern Army's infantry phalanx remained standing.
At this time, except for Luo Shixin's 5,000 cavalry from the Cyclone Battalion beside Wang Junlin, almost all the other members of the Far East Army were fighting.
"Luo Shixin, take your Whirlwind Battalion on horseback and kill Li Zixiong." After all, the number of the Far East Army is less than one-third of the opponent's, and the combat power can be much stronger than the opponent, but the physical strength of the two sides is not much different. With so much weight, the fighting time will be prolonged, and the soldiers will consume too much physical strength, and their combat power will drop sharply.
So, the longer the delay, the more unfavorable it is for Wang Junlin, and it is difficult for Wang Junlin's right wing to kill the 20,000 Youzhou Jingqi in a short time.
Luo Shixin got impatient for a long time, and with a howl, he rushed forward with five thousand cavalry from the Whirlwind Battalion.
It's just that the Whirlwind Battalion has only a quarter of the opponent's number after all, so they can only keep restraining the right-wing cavalry of Youzhou Iron Cavalry, but they don't fight them head-on.
The infantry phalanx suffered the first round of violent impact from Youzhou cavalry and lost more than a thousand people. This marching speed is very slow, and they must maintain a dense formation of spears like a forest during the slow march in order to offset the cavalry impact advantage of Youzhou cavalry.
Li Zixiong made a decisive decision, and with an order, about 10,000 right-wing cavalry of Youzhou Iron Cavalry rushed out, and took an arc to rush to the rear of the Far East Army formation. Forced to fight head-on.
Obviously Li Zixiong forced Luo Shixin to lead the Whirlwind Battalion to fight them head-on, intending to wipe out the only mobile force in the Far East Army.
Following the fierce battle, the infantry of the Far Eastern Army had the absolute upper hand in the frontal battle, but the flanks fell into a stalemate, and the scope of the battlefield began to show a tendency to expand. The surge is like a surging tide. Although it seems chaotic, it is actually organized.
The stalemate will not be beneficial to the Far Eastern Army, because they are small in number and cannot afford to consume their strength and physical strength.
With a serious look on his face, Wang Junlin picked up the divine bow hanging on the side of the blood-maned horse.
Yang Su was obviously wary of Wang Junlin's divine bow, not to mention that the distance was far beyond the range of the shot, and there were layers of guards beside him, but they would not give Wang Junlin a chance, so Wang Junlin shot Li Zixiong.
Wang Junlin knew that Li Zixiong was also a master in the breaking stage, so he didn't dare to aim for too long to avoid being noticed by the opponent, but shot the arrow almost as soon as he raised the bow.
As soon as the unique ear-piercing sound of piercing the air appeared, Li Zixiong, who was leading the charge on the flank, felt his heart sink.
The speed of the divine arrow is so fast that it almost seems to be teleporting. As soon as the sound appeared, it appeared in front of Li Zixiong.
In the blink of an eye, Li Zixiong let out an angry roar, and suddenly slashed out the precious spear in his hand.
Clang! Amidst a sharp sound of gold and stone colliding, Li Zixiong was worthy of being the great general of the Sui Dynasty, he was known as the number one of the second generation of great generals of the Sui Dynasty, and he actually blocked the arrow that was shot at his heart.
It's just that the power of the magic arrow is not only fast, long-range and accurate.
The supernatural power contained in this arrow made Li Zixiong's face change drastically, and the horse in his hand flew away directly, his arms were numb and painful, and he was severely injured by the shock.
Furthermore, the huge force passed through his arms and acted on the mount under his crotch. The horse wailed on the spot and fell to the ground, throwing the injured Li Zixiong to the ground as well.
With a puff, Li Zixiong got out from his still tumbling horse, spat out a mouthful of hot blood, his face was pale, but he was seriously injured. Because of his arm injury, and because he was chopping the horse on the horse, he fell off unexpectedly, and because he couldn't dodge in time, he was crushed by the horse's body again.
Four hundred paces away, Wang Junlin's star-like eyes were full of regret. With Li Zixiong's strength, he was not killed by a single arrow. With precautions, and with so many people on the battlefield, it would not be easy to kill him with a hidden arrow. up.
However, the main general who was regarded as the backbone was injured and dismounted. Nearly 20,000 Youzhou iron cavalry were instinctively affected. Many generals' expressions changed drastically, and their morale was instantly affected.
"The general is still alive, continue to kill the enemy." Li Zixiong roared, got on the horse of another soldier, and led the men to continue the charge, but he suffered serious injuries, and he no longer had the bravery he had just now.
Luo Shixin took advantage of the decline in the spirit of the Iron Knights in Youzhou, and led the Whirlwind Battalion in a charge, gaining the upper hand in a local area.
At this point in the battle on the battlefield, Yang Su's biggest killer in addition to the tens of thousands of dead soldiers - the tactic of attacking 20,000 Youzhou iron cavalry around behind has ended in failure. Delayed, caught in the siege of the infantry of the Far East Army, the final outcome must be the annihilation of the entire army.
Li Zixiong has rich experience in the battlefield, so naturally he would not let this happen, so he gave the order to retreat at the last moment, and sent 2,000 people to hold the Whirlwind Camp, leading about 15,000 You The state cavalry retreated smoothly.
