Chapter 16 In the Troubled Army
?The commander and Anzhou general manager Yuwen Liang looked at the enemy cavalry that was charging towards him and stood firm, and the soldiers surrounded him layer by layer to prepare to face the enemy's attack.
Yuwen Liang didn't plan to hide, and he couldn't hide because he was surrounded by the handsome flag. The handsome flag was in the morale of the army and the morale of the army was in the morale of the army even if he died under the banner, as long as he could save the handsome flag, the situation could be reversed.
After the initial panic, Yu Wenliang calmed down. The opponent used a trick of deception to cause his side to be deceived and blocked the offensive. More than half of the troops were defeated. To gather the defeated soldiers, it would take time to put them in the battle again, and the effect might not be much better.
Therefore, as long as our side stands firmly to withstand the counterattack of the enemy ambush, the situation can still be reversed, because the opponent can invest less than much of the troops to counterattack.
The respective army of the Great Zhou official army was similar: the warriors as the skeleton plus the recruited soldiers who gathered the number of soldiers. Both sides claimed that they had more than 100,000 troops, but in fact, they could only fight about 50,000 to 60,000. The others were just temporary recruitment of farmers.
If the opponent dares to use a trick of defeat, then most of the people who are recruiting soldiers as bait are recruiting soldiers. The only ones who can fight back are about 50,000 soldiers, of which at least half are infantry. Yuwen Liang saw the fire in the north and knew that it was the opponent who set fire to separate his vanguard troops, so most of the infantry should be ambushing there.
It is inferred in turn that the attack on the Anzhou Army's main lineup was about 10,000 to 20,000 cavalry. As long as it can withstand the impact, it can stabilize the situation and wait for an opportunity to counterattack, but all this has a premise: the central army is still there.
To be precise, the Central Army’s flag is still there.
The soldiers fighting on the battlefield were all watching the flag-colored operation, especially when the war situation was unfavorable. Whether the central army's flag stood or stood up was the greatest morale support for the soldiers. When the battle situation was stalemate, if the army's flag fell or retreated, the blow to morale would be disastrous.
Five years ago, the Great Zhou sent troops to attack Qi State to capture the important city of Jinzhou City. Then Qi State Emperor Gao Wei led a large army to counterattack the city, and defended the city. The Zhou army was in a critical situation. Emperor Wu of Zhou Yuwen Yong also led 80,000 reinforcements to arrive at the two sides in time to launch a war.
The Qi army was unfavorable. The soldiers on the front line retreated slightly, as a result, Emperor Gao Wei of Qi, wanted to retreat first, seeing this, the Qi army on the front line glanced at the flag and retreated, and the morale was instantly disintegrating. The Zhou army took advantage of the victory and pursued the whole army and killed the whole army as if it were unstoppable. In the end, the Qi State was finished without a few months of support.
Yuwen Liang witnessed the defeat of the Qi army in the army at that time, so he still remembered it fresh. As a general who has led troops to fight for many years, he also knew the reason why the flag of the central army should not be moved lightly, so he decided to stick to his position.
He knew that his left-wing cavalry was just temporarily entangled by the opponent's cavalry, and the soldiers would stand firm after the initial panic. Only when the opponent used cavalry to attack the central army formation, either kill himself or cut off the central army's flag would he have a final result.
It doesn’t matter whether they die or not. They just need to knock down the flag and cause full panic among the soldiers of the Anzhou Army: the enemy has already captured the central army formation and the situation is over!
If you get on the horse and evacuate at this time, not only will your hand flag be knocked down, but you will not be able to run much, even if you want to run a horse, you will not be able to run.
"This general manager vows to live and die with the general flag, and you all work hard to kill the enemy!" Yuwen Liang made up his mind to shout and then pulled out his sword and pointed at the enemy cavalry rushing towards him. The archers surrounding the periphery of the central army desperately pulled their bows and shot arrows regardless of the cavalry that was about to rush to the front.
The cavalry of the Zhengnan Army who were struggling to attack the formation galloped in the rain of arrows. Some of them fell from arrows and fell to the ground and died, but more of them still bravely moved forward with their flesh and blood to the Anzhou Army soldiers blocking their faces.
They wanted to open the way for the comrades behind them, even if the infantry in front of them were lined up with spears, they were not afraid at all. The cavalry who first collided with the formation was stabbed by the spear but still rushed into the formation with inertia and weighed hundreds of kilograms of people and horses to knock the soldiers of Anzhou flying everywhere.
The feather arrows shot on the heavily armored cavalry unless they hit the key points, and the vanguard cavalry, who were fearless, rushed into the formation of the Anzhou army one by one, caused a bloody storm.
The cavalry of the Southern Army who charged forward used hundreds of cavalry to knock out a large hole for thousands of infantry formations. The subsequent cavalry followed the gap and was about to rush to the commander's banner, but was blocked by the Anzhou Army soldiers who rushed up to them without hesitation.
The cavalry of the raided army of the Nan army was not afraid of death, but the soldiers of the Anzhou army who were guarding the central army were also not afraid of death!
It is true that the cavalry is very powerful, but as long as the opponent's speed is stuck, there is a chance to counterattack. As soldiers guarding the central army also have the belief that they will die. The soldiers rushed towards the opponent's war horses without hesitation, even though they were then stepped on the horse's hooves into meat sauce.
As long as they can stick to the cavalry, their comrades will avenge themselves, and as long as the army wins, the general manager will give a lot of pensions to their family!
They are elite troops under the Anzhou General Administration. The General Administration Office gives them priority to distribute land to them from their families. As long as the General Administration is in charge, the family can still live a good life. If the General Administration dies and the army is defeated, then everything will be gone.
At the cost of his life, the soldiers of the Anzhou Army forced the charge speed of the cavalry of the Nanxing Army. The cavalry saw that the speed slowed down and could not resist the infantry rushing up from both sides, and their eyes were red. They drew their swords and dismounted from their horses to fight.
The Anzhou military commander's flag is just twenty steps away, and the opponent's head coach is just twenty steps away. If you don't fight hard, then when will you wait!
They walked wildly and did not dodge or avoid the blades slashed by Anzhou soldiers. They let the opponent hit the slash and then slashed at the opponent with a backhand and maintained the assault speed by exchanging one life for one life.
Before they began to attack the Anzhou Army formation, they were determined to die: killing one is enough to make money by killing two!
There is no time to entangle and no time to hesitate. As long as the soldiers around the other side can kill the opponent's head coach before they can rescue him, it will be worth it to be wiped out. With this courage, the cavalry of the Zhengnan Army who dismounted and fought in the hands of the army continued to advance towards the Anzhou Army who was close at hand.
At the beginning, more than ten wounds were covered in blood and disheveled hair, but their eyes were red, and they slashed hard. Yu Wenliang looked at the man and was quite surprised because he recognized the other person.
Liang Mo, the marshal of the marshal and the leader of the elite troops under Liang Shiyan, the Duke of Huiguo, was also a brave general who was the best in the three armies. After Liang Shiyan's battle for more than ten years, he led the way, whether he was siege first or charged.
An Anzhou soldier swung his knife at Liang Mo's shoulder, but he suddenly fell on his armor and could not move. Liang Mo didn't say much without saying anything, and he knocked his forehead with his head and made blood splatter.
Two more soldiers waved their swords left and right and slashed at him. Liang Mo let the other party slash at his ribs with his armor and ate them twice. Then he stretched out his ape's arms and pulled them into front and hit them, both of them and their heads were hit hard and fainted immediately.
Seeing that the long sword in his hand had cut off Liang Mo pulled an Anzhou soldier and raised it as a stone to smash it towards the other soldiers surrounding him. Under his leadership, the cavalry of the Zhengnan Army, who were fighting in the camp, broke through the siege of Anzhou soldiers and rushed towards Yuwen Liang, who was under the command of the Anzhou soldiers.
"Even you sent me, Duke Hui has invested a lot of money." Yu Wenliang laughed and then shouted: "Cut off Liang Mo's head!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the elite troops around Yuwen Liang were involved in the battle. They were Langzhu's private soldiers, one prospered and one lost. Liang Shiyan had elite troops, the same Yuwen Liang had elite troops.
"Those who block me will die!" Liang Mozhuo was madly facing an enemy attack, but he did not dodge or dodge and then took a knife. Then he suddenly bowed his body and hugged the other party's waist. He used his shoulders to push forward with his strength.
No matter how many swords the other party cut on his back, no matter how many armors were damaged on his body were about to break, Liang Mo made great efforts with a determined mortality.
The men who were guarding Yuwen Liang stood in front of the Langzhu, slashed at the human-shaped beast. Several long swords slashed through the armor on the other party, but still could not stop him from moving forward.
With the help of Liang Mo, the remaining soldiers of the Southern Army rushed forward and fought with the troops guarding Yu Wenliang. The number of people on both sides was getting smaller and smaller, and the closer they were to Yu Wenliang.
Liang Mo's left arm was slashed and the wound was boned, but he punched the other party. There was no one in front of him, Yuwen Liang, the general manager of Anzhou who was rushing towards him with a knife. After letting the long knife stab into his abdomen, Liang Mo said in a crazy way that he grabbed Yuwen Liang's hand holding the knife and then hit his head.
With a bang, blood splattered everywhere, Liang Mo's forehead was blown into blood, Yuwen Liang was dizzy when he was hit.
"Master Lang asked me to cut off your head!" Liang Mo shouted and pulled out the long sword that pierced into his abdomen and waved it high to cut off Yu Wenliang, who was half sitting on the ground. Suddenly, a middle-aged man rushed over to knock Yu Wenliang away and then endured the knife for him.
Liang Mo saw that he wanted to draw the knife again when he saw that he was unable to cut the knife, but the man grabbed the blade tightly with both hands. Although he was not as strong as Liang Mo, he ignored the cutting of his hands and twisted the blade and grabbed the long sword from Liang Mo's hand.
"I want to pass unless I die!"
Seeing that Liang Mo was about to pounce on Yu Wen Liang next to him, the man shouted loudly and hugged the other party's legs and pulled him down to the ground and rolled him into a ball. He took the opportunity to get up and retreat and was protected by two soldiers who caught up.
Liang Mo was ineffective in his left arm, but he frantically bit off a piece of flesh on the middle-aged man's arm with his mouth. He took advantage of the opponent's strength to loosen his hands and another head hammer to knock him out.
However, the middle-aged man was also crazy and knew that his strength was not as good as the other party. He didn't dodge or avoid it and collided with him. After several rounds, he finally lost his strength and was strangled by Liang Mo.
Liang Mo, who was covered in blood and dizzy face, missed the opportunity because he was entangled by middle-aged people. Yuwen Liang had been protected by soldiers who came to support and could no longer get close.
The comrades behind him were all injured and injured, and more and more Anzhou soldiers rushed to the central army to reinforce him. Before they could rush into the central army, they could no longer cut off Yuwen Liang's head and could not escape without losing. Liang Mo decided to kill another person to bury him.
"Old dog, go to death!" He was about to crush the middle-aged man's throat with his scarlet eyes and his hands were about to crush him.
The sound of breaking through the air sounded, Liang Mo felt a pain in his head and then his strength dissipated. His vision turned, and he saw a group of Anzhou cavalry rushing towards the central army where he was, one of them held a cavalry bow in his hand, as if he had just shot an arrow.
The man was about fifteen or sixteen years old and the middle-aged man whose throat was almost crushed by himself.
