Chapter 56 Hydra(1/2)

The whistling Qi cavalry did not encounter many opponents, because their opponent Liang cavalry relied on the barbed wire to protect the military formation, so they were a little lazy.

But even if you come out, it is useless, because the number of Qi army cavalry is large, like a large group of wolves surrounding them. Liang army cavalry is like a weak hunting dog. What else can it be?

Huluguang was very satisfied with this.

He led his army around the Guibei Mountain, which had not been fought for a day, and headed towards the back of the Liang army's right wing.

There were many barbed wire meshings, and the cavalry could not break through this strange iron obstacle, so the Liang army was fearless.

However, a sheep is a sheep. I think that if I hide in a solid sheep pen, I can turn into a wolf?

joke!

According to the tactics formulated before the war, the Qi cavalry raided the Liang army and continuously retreated in front of the wire mesh, in order to make the sheep in the sheep pen think that the fence was very solid.

Guibei Mountain was a place where the Qi army deliberately could not capture but continued to attack, attracting the Liang army's troops.

When Guibei Mountain and the right wing of the Liang army continued to bear the offensive and began to overwhelm, the absolute trust in the firmness of the "fence" would lead to the defence near its "fence".

Some cavalry ignored the arrows and approached the barbed wire in turn, and ran parallel to the barbed wire at a distance of more than twenty steps, and rode and shot the Liang army crossbowman behind the barbed wire to shoot arrows.

There were other cavalrymen who approached the barbed wire in a single column, kept parallel, and slowed down their horses at several steps.

Then he tried his best to throw out a rigging called "Hydra" and tied up the barbed wire.

This kind of rigging is a thick and thick main rope (usually nine) with a large iron hook at the end of the rope. The inside of the iron hook is as thin as a knife, and it looks like a nine-headed strange snake, hence the name.

The end of the main rope of the "Hydra" is tied to the back of the saddle. After pulling the barbed wire, it drags and quickly straightens as the war horse advances.

He plucked (hooked) the iron hook of the barbed wire mesh and quickly cut off the thin barbed wire mesh.

This is the restraining tool specially made by Qi Jun against Liang Jun’s barbed wire mesh. After a lot of drills in advance, it is very effective against the rope mesh that simulates barbed wire mesh, and can also cut off specially made and spliced ​​iron wire.

The Qi cavalry were constantly shot and overturned by people, or the war horses were dragged down by themselves when they were dragging the wire.

But the cavalry equipped with "Hydra" rigging is still constantly approaching the barbed wire.

They followed the tactics that they practiced many times in advance and used constant dragging to quickly cut the Liang army's barbed wire. Cavalry wearing two armor dismounted and shot against the Liang army on the other end of the barbed wire with their arches.

The tactics of breaking the net adopted by the Qi army were very effective. Soon, the large section of the barbed wire defense line became "thin" and "loose". Huluguang, who was supervising the battle not far away, saw that the "tempo" was similar, and ordered the armored cavalry to collide.

The only war horse with a face curtain, a chest, a chicken neck, was driven by the cavalry and rushed towards the barbed wire defense line that was already precarious.

While they were tripped and entangled by the barbed wire, they also broke the barbed wire.

As a result, the once tough and indestructible barbed wire defense line appeared.

There is a gap in the sheep pen.

The wolves that had been peeping for a long time, howled and rushed towards the gap, squeezing forward regardless of everything, breaking into the fence and entering the sheep pen.

The soldiers of the Liang army did not expect that the solid wire defense line would be vulnerable to the Qi army's strange tools. Facing the whistling Qi army cavalry, they chose to fight.

The beam soldiers who were deployed behind the barbed wire were mostly crossbowmen and sword and shield soldiers. Facing the enemy cavalry that were charging hard, the defense line organized in haste was quickly washed away.

They were knocked over and trampled by horses, and many spearmen came to rescue them. Although they also tried hard to penetrate some cavalry, more people were knocked down by the cavalry that had already rushed up and stabbed to death.

The Liang army had a flaw in the right wing and could not organize effective defense immediately. Huluguang would not miss this opportunity and led the influx of cavalry to "squeeze" into the Liang army's formation through the gap.

The once thick and unshakable military formation gradually began to loosen.

On Turtle-Back Mountain, the Liang army sentries who were observing the battle situation around them watched their right wing break through, and a large number of Qi cavalry walked around Turtle-Back Mountain like a tide and headed towards the break, and their faces turned pale.

Seeing this, the main general Du Kan was anxious and shouted loudly: "Hurry, give warning, give warning!!"

.........

In the evening, the setting sun was as bloody as the Liang army barely held on for an afternoon, but still couldn't. Under the continuous charge of the Qi cavalry, the collapse of the right wing spread to the central army.

The right wing and the central army were defeated, and the Yuzhou army on the left wing struggled to hold on for a while, but could not support it and was defeated.

The Liang army, which had collapsed on the front, could not stop the cavalry rushing on the flanks, nor the infantry fighting head-on. When the entire line collapsed, it was already defeated.

The collapsed military formation was filled with panicked Liang army infantry everywhere, but there were also brave men who worked hard to organize defense lines to try to block the enemy cavalry that broke into the formation.

However, the enemy they faced was an armored cavalry that had already rushed over.

The armored cavalry with both men and horses is like a moving large iron bell. Whether it is a man or a horse, the whole body is covered with iron armor, with only eyes exposed.

A long horse spear stabbed Liang Bing's body, and his strong mount directly knocked down his flesh and blood body with the protection of armor.

The horse's hooves stained with blood trampled on young bodies, and the young man who rode the horse and charged forward led the elite Baibaoxianbei to kill the crowd with joy and excitement.

Eighteen-year-old Gao Changgong participated in a war for the first time and rode his horse on the battlefield. His side and his side were all elite Baibaoxianbei, and his people were invincible.

Gao Changgong attacked from the central army and broke into the collapsed Liang army formation from the front, galloping in the bloody storm, and stepped out a bloody road in the crowd.

The bloody road continues to extend, and at its end is where the enemy's central army flag is located.

Shooting a man and shooting a horse first, capturing a thief first, capturing the king first, Gao Changgong hopes that he can kill the enemy's commander. Then, the Liang army will not only be shattered this time, but will also lose the backbone, which will lead to poor subsequent defense.

At that time, let alone Yuzhou, even Mianbei Prefectures and counties will not be able to be recovered.

In this way, the country can ensure Henan's security.

He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he was familiar with military books. He was skilled in archery and horses, and he often heard people talk about his outstanding military achievements in fighting in the south and north. As a descendant of the high family, he was proud and set his ambitions.

I hope to gallop on the battlefield and pacify the world like famous generals from ancient times.

The defense of the Liang army's central army was extremely strict. It can be seen that the guards of the central army were all elite, but they could not stop Gao Changgong's Baibaoxianbei. Under the impact of armored cavalry, this "hard shell" was penetrated.

But another layer of "hard shell" appeared in front of you. Gao Chang looked carefully and saw that it was a layer of net, like a shrub, wrapped around wooden stakes, surrounding the central army.

I think this is the barbed wire. Gao Changgong knew that he could not rush hard, so he turned around and passed by, scattered the crowd, and kept his speed down.

No matter how strong the sheep pen is, it is also a cage for sheep. The sheep hides inside and cannot escape.

Therefore, Gao Changgong had to clean up the surrounding miscellaneous soldiers first, and the lonely central army would be surrounded by his own infantry.

The Liang army, who escaped a cavalry attack, were not very happy, and the soldiers were defeated like a mountain. They should have retreated, but the commander refused to retreat.

Under the banner, Wang Sengbian stood stubbornly with a stern battle.

He looked at the soldiers scattered around him, the soldiers guarding the surroundings, and the soldiers looked at the densely packed enemy soldiers, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Unexpectedly, I ended up saying to others in this way.

In a decisive battle, he was defeated so much that the barbed wire was easily cracked by the other party. No one expected this.

Although he could retreat when the army was defeated at the beginning, and he could break through just now, Wang Sengbian knew that he could not retreat, break through, and could not live.

Only when he dies here is the best result.

Wang Sengbian was the old official of King Xiao Yi of Xiangdong. This time, Xiao Yi was full of confidence and tried to resist the opposition. He asked him to lead the Northern Expedition and strive to recover Henan. There was no problem.

Even if the war is unfavorable and there is no gain, it is better than the annihilation of the entire army.

Wang Sengbian served Xiao Yi for many years and knew Xiao Yi's character: the other party has always been close to literati, looked down on military people, was mean and polite, had high self-esteem, was extremely suspicious, and could not tolerate sand in his eyes.

This time, Xiao Yi was disgraced and was furious, so he would definitely not let him go.

If he goes back alive, he will only bring shame to himself.

If he surrenders to Qi, he will affect his family. After all, he still has a younger brother and son, and he is an official in the court. If he surrenders, Xiao Yi will not let the Wang family go.

Only by dying here, dying on the battlefield, "death by fighting hard" is the best ending for him and his family.

Next to him, the young Wang Fang was by his father's side. Although his face was pale, he looked determined.

My father asked him to leave, but he didn't leave, so he insisted on staying.

Because when he couldn't let his father die in battle, he had no relatives around him.

Wang Feng thought he had many brothers, so he let him accompany his father on the road to the underworld.

He let his father leave his life and run away from his own life. He can't do it and has no shame to go back to see people.

The sound of trumpets came, one after another, sharp and shrill. Wang Sengbian looked in the voice, but heard these sounds of trumpets came from the Military Office of the Qi Army.

There are flags waving, and I think Emperor Qi is in the middle.

But the sound of this horn sounds like...stop the army?

Wang Sengbian and his generals were a little surprised. Now that they are defeated, the Qi army is pursuing victory, so what should we do to withdraw our troops?

The sound of drums came from the east, which was the remnants of Du Kan's troops who were struggling to defend Guibei Mountain, sending a signal to the precarious central army.

What does signal mean?

Beat the drum...beat the drum again?

But a large number of soldiers retreated, and it seemed that they were re-arranged.

Wang Sengbian's heart moved: This means...

"Father, east, east!!" Wang Feng, who was observing the east with a thousand-mile mirror, shouted, his voice trembling and joy.

Wang Sengbian picked up the Thousand Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile

To the east, on the horizon, dust is crafted.

Countless cavalrymen appeared on the horizon.

The cavalry is getting closer and closer, and you can see the movements of the other party without using a thousand-mile mirror.
