Chapter 462: The Wind Rises (4)
Helian and the Bouyei clan combined had less than 500 cavalry, less than a quarter of the nearly 2,000 cavalry under Zhou Yu's command, but the sudden rebellion at this time caused unparalleled destructive power. When they were charging, they deliberately fell a horse's head away. Although the long slope of Dayan Ridge was not very steep, it was even very gentle, but the charging horses, under such terrain, could never turn their horses around. Head, at this moment, they can only let their opponents slaughter and are powerless to fight back.
There were clever horses running to both sides, but only the ones on the far side. They drew their swords and ran wildly to both sides, and charged up the hill again. After running for a certain distance, they were able to turn around and walk The Huns started chasing and killing them, and someone started to attack. The Yan army finally recovered, and more and more people began to go to the two sides first, and then go up, and came back in a circle.
Seeing these tactical actions of the Yan State cavalry, Gao Yuan at the foot of the mountain couldn't help but nodded slightly. Under such circumstances, he could immediately find the most suitable method to find a counterattack point. Gao Yuan asked himself, if he was in such a situation, the only way to counterattack he could think of was this.
Before the battle even started, it was already destined to end. Gao Yuan drew his sword, raised his hand, and landed heavily. He Lanxiong and others who were wandering around him gave a whistle, and with their legs clamped on the horse's belly, they rushed straight up.
He Lanxiong still has more than 1,000 cavalry under his command, plus the Helian and Buyi tribes, the number of cavalry is almost the same as that of Yan State's standing army, but in terms of combat effectiveness, they are even better. Lian Bo and Luo Lei made a mess, some rushed downwards, some ran around from left to right, and some recoiled from behind the two clans, on the long slope of Dayan Ridge. The cavalry huddled together.
Some people were hacked to death, some people were knocked over with their horses, and some were not good at equestrian skills. Fight on such ramps. One mistake, he turned over with his own people and horses. Even if he was not trampled to death by people and horses, he would have lost half of his life if he rolled all the way down.
Gao Yuan just glanced sideways at the battle on the ramp and stopped caring. This Yan State cavalry is finished. He turned his attention to the frontmost infantry team that was slowly advancing.
The Central Plains army is not good at riding skills, but their infantry are more powerful. If they can win this kind of duel between the infantry of the two sides, the infantry of the Zhengdong Army will step onto a new level.
The Yan Army cavalry has been firmly suppressed at this time. Although they are struggling to support, failure is a matter of time. But even so, the three thousand Yan army infantry who were ordered to intercept at the front did not panic at all. They even only glanced at the battle on the ramp at the beginning, and then focused their attention on their front again.
The cavalry is over. The hope of winning fell on their heads. If they could withstand the opponent's attack and cut into the opponent's army, it would not be impossible to recover from the defeat.
The general of the Yan army commanding this phalanx is a veteran with white beard and hair.
At this time, he was standing in the middle of the team, holding a long knife in his hand and holding it high.
"Enter!"
Following his shout, the Yan army in the first two rows shouted loudly, stepped forward about ten steps, stepped into a lunge with their front legs, held their hind legs tightly, and stretched their spears forward as far as possible.
On the opposite side of them, Sun Xiao held the Mo knife in his hand and shouted angrily: "Sudden!"
The first row of Mo Dao handmen began to trot, holding the Mo Dao high in their hands. After they ran ten steps, the second row began to run again. Every ten steps, a row of Mo Dao soldiers started running. The Mo Dao soldiers who had just gathered together turned into waves at this moment, rushing towards ahead.
"Shoot!" The white-haired veteran pointed his sword forward.
The sound of Linlin's howling arrows flew out like locusts from behind the spearmen.
The arrow was on the knife, and amidst the clanging sound, it fell to the ground powerlessly, and shot on the armor, piercing the armor and penetrating half an inch into the flesh. Keep going. There are also some critical places such as the face and the throat, and there is only one dead end.
The knife fell, the gun stabbed out, and the flesh and blood burst.
Neither side backed down. As pawns, everyone knew that they couldn't and couldn't retreat. You can only risk your life, trade your life for your life, trade your own life for a little time, a little chance of victory.
The spear is very long, and it stabs fiercely into Mo Daoshou's body. Three arrows are not as good as one knife, and three knives are not as good as one stab. belly.
The gun is fierce, the knife is fierce.
The spear is very long, but the Mo Dao is not short. The moment the spear entered the body, the broadswords in the hands of the Mo Dao players with their eyes wide open fell heavily. Almost at the same time as they were killed, the sword also separated the opponent's head. It rushed straight into the sky like a fountain, dyeing the two people who were both killed red.
The first row of spearmen and the first row of Mo Daomen, almost no one survived.
The Mo Dao fighters in the second row shouted wildly, passed over the bodies of both sides, and the Mo Dao in their hands fell heavily.
The gun poked out, the knife dropped. Both fell to the ground.
The third row rushed up again.
At this time, some gaps finally appeared in the formation of the Yan State infantry, not because they were not brave enough, but because when the spears were poked out, there were many brave Mo Dao soldiers who were still fighting against the spearmen after being shot. Backwards, the knife fell, and people died, but the powerful impact pushed the spearmen in front of them into the crowd of spearmen behind them, squeezing the originally neat formation into a deep recess.
The Mo Dao fighters finally found a chance to win.
Gao Yuan's hands were trembling slightly. For him, this was the first time he had seen such a tragic infantry confrontation. His well-trained soldiers have gone through countless battles, but at this time, this place has fallen.
He looked up at the mountains, and Zhou Yu was also looking at him, the gazes of the two collided in the air, and sparks flew everywhere.
Looking at the situation at the bottom of the mountain, Zhou Yu couldn't help shaking his hands and heart. On the slope, the cavalry had been routed and were being slaughtered wantonly by their opponents. At the bottom of the mountain, the enemy's phalanx had also been broken through. .
Can't wait any longer.
The flag was unfurled, and the three thousand Yan army hidden in the forest rushed out. On the mountain, Zhou Yu also raised the steel knife in his hand, and behind him, the two thousand reserve team also raised their swords and guns at the same time.
"Kill!" Zhou Yu rushed down the mountain like a tidal wave with a reserve team of two thousand.
He wants to overwhelm his opponent with crowd tactics, even if all these ten thousand people are buried here, he will kill Gao Yuan here.
Seeing Zhou Yu's ambush, Gao Yuan laughed out loud, "Signal, it's time for a decisive battle."
A chime pierced through the sky and went straight up to the clouds, and the shrill howling sound spread far away. Before one chime fell down, another chime flew into the sky in the distance.
Gao Yuan raised the Mo Dao in his hand, and steered his horse to meet Zhou Yu.
"Kill them all!" Gao Yuan roared.
The two sides killed together.
These are two real armies, every soldier is brave, or they should have fought side by side, but at this moment, they are sworn enemies, every knife, every shot, trying to kill each other.
Blood stained Dayan Lake red.
Gao Yuan and Zhou Yu strenuously approached each other. Both of them knew that killing the opponent would make the opponent's army lose the will to fight.
Until now, Zhou Yu still believed that he had a chance of winning. In terms of military strength, he still had the advantage. Although his own cavalry had already been routed, but at this moment the infantry of both sides had strangled together, and the cavalry could play a very limited role. .
Kill Gao Yuan, everything is over.
He and Gao Yuan are like two passionate lovers, with fire in their eyes, eager to get closer to each other, but between the two of them, there are countless soldiers fighting desperately. If they want to move forward, they need to cut It's not just a head.
In the distance, the sound of horseshoes sounded again.
Not just the sound of hooves, but thunderous footsteps, and deafening shouts.
Zhou Yu's complexion changed drastically, he raised his head, and looked in the direction of the voice.
The fluttering flag and the navy blue uniform hurt his eyes, and the slogan of the Eastern Conqueror Army's Wan Sheng made him almost lose his mind at this moment.
The infantry led more than a thousand cavalry swarming forward. Gongsun Yi and Hu Tou each led a team of troops, and rushed into the battle group roaring. But the infantry stopped at the edge of the battlefield and took off the big bow beside the saddle. , twisted his fingers, and a feathered arrow whizzed out, and in the battle group, a fierce Yan general fell on his back.
The sound of arrows kept ringing, and Yan army generals fell on the battlefield one after another. The infantry's feathered arrows were like bull's head and horse's face that fascinated the soul, and there were few Yan army officers who passed by here.
The continuous deaths of officers caused the command system of the Yan army to collapse in an instant, and what made the morale of the Yan army fall to the bottom was that not far from the battlefield, another expeditionary army of thousands of people appeared and was heading towards this place. come running.
Heng Dao, Tie Xuan, and Ding Wei strode forward, urging the soldiers to advance quickly.
"Run faster, run faster, there will be meat to eat, run slower, the enemy will flee, and you won't even have a sip of the soup!" Hengdao roared.
The Yan army collapsed, and before Hengdao Tiexuan and Dingwei arrived with their troops, the Yan army on the battlefield turned around and ran away.
This battle is out of the question.
By the time the three of them arrived at the battlefield, the battle by the Dayan Lake had already ended, and the Yan army was fleeing, and the task of chasing and defeating the enemy could only be completed by the cavalry, He Lanxiong, the infantry, Gongsun Yi, Ah Man, He Lianbo, Luo Lei and the others led the cavalry under their command and chased all the way. On the prairie, the corpses of the Yan army were lying everywhere, and blood was spilled all the way into the distance.
It was a battle, the 10,000 Yan army led by Zhou Yu, almost survivors, only a few hundred people could escape with Zhou Yu, and the poor Yan army managed to break through from the siege of the Donghu people. out, but fell down here again.
