Seven hundred and nineteenth chapter surrounded by two sides
No?!
The Tang army's reinforcements arrived unexpectedly at this critical moment in such a way that they fell from the sky, which completely caught them off guard.
At that time, the Daxi Kingdom was not unconsidered that the Tang army would send reinforcements from eastern Sichuan. However, at that time, because in Huguang, the Ming army's Zuo Liangyu's army was fighting fiercely with the main force of the Tang army, the monarchs and ministers of the Daxi Kingdom believed that the second town of the Tang army stationed in Chongqing should also be fighting with Zuo Liangyu, so it was impossible to disperse the troops again and come to rescue the Zeng Ying's army, so they were relieved to send troops to attack southern Sichuan.
But I never expected that the Tang army, the second town of the army, could still have the spare strength to divide the troops. Judging from this situation, it was to fight with the defenders of Xuzhou City inside and outside to destroy all of his 60,000 troops under the city of Xuzhou.
Beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down from Zhang Kewang's face.
The mistake that was taken for granted at the beginning finally became an irreparable bad situation now.
The black line opposite Hengjiang was getting thicker and thicker, and countless soldiers and flags changed from it, but Zhang Kewang's mind was blank.
You should know that the main infantry in the entire army now has about 50,000 people, led by deputy general Ainengqi, all of them are sieging the city with all their strength. Only more than 3,000 cavalry remained on standby around them, while the other nearly 7,000 logistics auxiliary soldiers who had not been involved in the battle were scattered outside the city walls, and for a time, they had no way to gather to cope with the enemy.
what to do?
What should I do now?!
However, just before he could react, a huge black arrow suddenly appeared in front of him, in front of him, a huge black arrow suddenly appeared.
This is an assault battle formation composed of a large number of cavalry. They rushed towards the pontoon bridge connecting the north and south banks of the river.
It was not until this time that Zhang Kewang took a breath and suddenly woke up from his trance.
"Hurry! All the cavalry crossed the bridge quickly, and you must stop the Tang army! You can't let them cross the floating bridge even if you try your best!"
Zhang Kewang's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his fingers trembled and pointed at the direction of Tang Jun, and quickly issued this very hasty order.
"Get orders!"
The three thousand Western cavalry hurriedly formed a team, and with the smoke and dust rolled up from the ground, the horses rumbled with their horses across the floating bridge, and rushed towards the Tang cavalry in the distance.
The cavalry crossed the floating bridge to block the Tang army's defeat with all their might. Zhang Kewang, who had no intention of fighting, immediately sent an order to retreat, and the infantry that was attacking the city and the auxiliary soldiers outside the city walls all retreated to their own formation and defended by the formation.
After all, the situation is suddenly changing, and it is impossible to take down the city of Xuzhou again. How to preserve its strength and defeat the enemy's plan to attack on both sides is the most important and critical thing.
When I heard the sound of gold in this formation, it was so clear that the soldiers of the Daxi Army who attacked the city wall could hardly believe my ears.
No?!
Now that he has attacked the city of Xuzhou, he is fighting with the defenders in such a bloody battle, and now he has obviously gained an advantage. The general of the commander-in-chief Zhang Kewang actually ordered a retreat at such a critical moment. This is simply ridiculous.
Could it be that my ears were wrong?
However, the sound of gold was tight like a sound, and the sounds were urging the soul, endless, how could it be wrong to hear it?!
This order for emergency retreat is absolutely true.
The soldiers of the Daxi Army who attacked the city were helpless, and everyone's faces were full of reluctance. They had to fight and retreat, and then retreated from the siege ladder covered with feces and lime. For a moment, from the horse road in the city wall to the siege ladder, the Daxi Army soldiers were all in a mess.
Of course, compared with the troops attacking the city, the ones who retreated the fastest were the auxiliary soldiers watching the formation from behind, and then the guys who were pushing the siege chariots and the city-killing equipment to attack.
Poor, they all tried their best to hammer this huge and heavy siege, and they had to cross the moat with difficulty. In the future, they had to break the suspension bridge. Then they heard the order to retreat and were so dismayed.
Looking from the sky, the Qing army, which was originally besieged on all sides, retreated densely to the north like a retreating tide. There were even many soldiers of the Daxi Army, who were retreating like a tide, and were trampled to death because of accidental falls.
Seeing the Great Western Army retreating, they retreated from the four walls to their own formation like tides. The soldiers of the tenth town who were guarding the city burst into thunderous cheers.
"Fuck! Monk An finally arrived at this time when his eyebrows were burning. It was really time for them to come." Deputy Mayor Wang Xiang gasped, smearing blood on his face, but his face was full of ecstasy like other soldiers.
No one expected that the Tang army could arrive here at such a critical moment, which was really a critical moment to save Xuzhou City.
Zeng Ying, as the main general, also looked excited. He waved the knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Everyone! The reinforcements have arrived. We will fight hard to kill the enemy and defeat the bandits to welcome the reinforcements!"
Inspired by the commander, the soldiers guarding the city were full of morale. They shouted and rushed forward, fighting with the enemy troops who were retreating in a panic. For a time, the Daxi Army was in chaos and many soldiers were killed and injured.
However, although many soldiers of the Daxi Army were killed, the general order was still maintained well and they continued to climb down the geopolitical ladder. Zeng Ying, Wang Xiang and others, as well as all the soldiers guarding the city, looked at the enemy troops who were fleeing farther and farther away, and their faces were filled with regret.
"Fuck, it's really hateful that they just escape like this!" Wang Xiang spat fiercely with a look of unwillingness.
Originally, when the Qing army began to follow the orders to retreat, the defenders in the city could take the opportunity to fight back and kill, and even pursue these fleeing guys to expand their military achievements.
But until now, almost every defender in the city has exhausted his strength, almost everyone is injured, and he is powerless to pursue him, so he can only breathe heavily and watch the Qing army retreat calmly.
But just watching them withdraw, the chief general Zeng Ying was really unwilling to accept it.
However, now he is not completely helpless. Although the infantry consumes a lot of physical strength and cannot leave the city to attack, there are still two thousand cavalry in the city that have not moved. Now these cavalry are ready to fight a big battle.
"Transfer our military orders, and you will lead the two thousand cavalry in the city. You will immediately leave the city to cover the killing!" Zeng Ying ordered Wang Xiang on the side in a deep voice.
"Get orders!" Wang Xiang's eyes flashed, he bowed his hand and then turned around and left.
"General Wang, remember one thing: our army has limited military strength and cannot fight against the enemy head-on. It can sweep the enemy and expand the results as much as possible. Do not attack directly at the enemy's main formation." When Wang Xiang turned his head and was about to leave, Zeng Ying hurriedly reminded him.
"The last one understands!" Wang Xiang replied loudly, speeding up his pace to go down the city.
Soon, the north gate of Xuzhou City opened wide, and Wang Xiang led all the cavalry, like an arrow from the string, rushed towards the large number of fleeing enemy troops in front.
Under the bright spring sun, the two thousand cavalry with fierce armor and murderous auras were as excited as wild beasts smelled blood. They were extremely excited to fight. Their horse's hooves were rumbling, their guns were pointed at the swords, and they slashed and killed the enemy troops on both sides of the horse formation. The swords passed by, their heads flew, blood and flesh splattered, and screamed in succession.
Don't be too happy with such a unilateral and ruthless massacre.
Just as the Qing army was retreating wildly from outside the city of Xuzhou, the Daxi cavalry that attacked across the bridge finally officially fought with the Tang cavalry that was rushing towards him.
The Tang cavalry who rushed over at high speed was still intact. The sharp black arrow was like a ferocious fist. With a very sharp momentum, it instantly rushed into the Daxi cavalry who rushed across the pontoon bridge to block it.
The Tang cavalry, both in heavy armor and the half-ton Xuanhu heavy cavalry, made the Tang army's assault arrows. Their attacks were fierce, like running tanks, and the three thousand enemy cavalry that had already been scattered and turned around to fight were even more scattered.
The worst thing was the Daxi cavalry that was facing the Tang cavalry. Many of them were killed by the Tang cavalry who rushed over with one blow.
Under the fierce attack of the Tang army, the cavalry of the Daxi Army either screamed and fell off their horses, or were stabbed in the chest by sharp cavalry, and many were stabbed in pairs by Tang army's cavalry or cavalry swords, and they were stabbed in pairs with people and horses, which was very terrifying.
The Tang cavalry, whose numbers were almost twice the enemy and whose formation was very strict, immediately gave a solid and fierce and heavy blow to the Daxi cavalry, who were under the numbers and scattered in the formation.
Immediately, the two cavalry teams immediately strangled together.
The jingle of swords and swords, the sound of cutting bones that makes people sore teeth, the dull puff sound of stabbing into the human body, the screams of death and the dying horses suddenly rang out.
However, in the face of the powerful combat power and fierce assault of the Tang cavalry, the Daxi cavalry, who rushed to fight and had a scattered formation, fought hard, but was almost futile.
This stalemate battle between the cavalry can be clearly seen that the Tang army's wedge-shaped battle formation was constantly squeezing forward and impacting, while Tian Xiong and his subordinates continued to retreat, and the entire formation became more and more messy.
As the two armies advanced into the battle, the Tang army's formation began to gradually change, and the entire formation of the Daxi Army was actually gradually swallowed up by the Tang army's fierce cavalry formation in a semi-arc shape by the Tang army's battle formation.
The two armies fought, stabbing guns and yelling, and cavalry kept screaming and falling off their horses, or their mounts were chopped to the ground, making a whine cry.
This cavalry battle with obvious advantages in the Tang army quickly showed a one-sided tendency, and the cavalry of the Daxi Army who were struggling to support were still struggling to support. As the Tang army spearmen rushed over quickly, the entire battle situation became clear in an instant.
A Tang army spearman holding a 4-meter steel spear, running all the way here, was already panting, but he was still full of energy and morale. They shouted and rushed forward quickly, completely cutting off the rear of the Daxi cavalry and completely encircled them from front to back, so that the enemy cavalry, who were already struggling to support, quickly fell into a desperate situation of being completely surrounded.
Sharp steel spears, like flying poisonous dragons, whistling and stabbing hard. The bandit cavalry, people or horses, were stabbed into the vital points by spears. Cavalry after cavalry screamed and fell off their horses, and war horses neighed and fell to the ground.
The battle was fierce, and the fight continued, and people shouted and horses neighed. The Tang army completely gained the upper hand in this sudden encirclement and annihilation battle in a very short period of time. The entire battle had already shown a one-sided trend.
"Brothers, hold on, you must hold on!"
Seeing that the soldiers of the altar were surrounded by the Tang army and the number of people fighting was getting smaller and smaller, the main general of the cavalry of the Daxi Army, who led the army to fight, shouted in almost despair.
At this time, a sharp spear, like a poisonous snake flying in, pierced through his throat, and the sharp spear head came straight out from the back of his neck.
The master's cry stopped abruptly. He widened his eyes and kept making hoarse sounds in his mouth. He subconsciously grabbed the cold gun handle, as if he wanted to pull it out of his throat.
The Tang cavalry opposite who took his life sneered, shook his right hand and quickly pulled out the cavalry rifle. A terrible hole appeared in the general's throat, and blood spurted out wildly.
The commander of the Daxi Army rolled silently from the horse like a piece of wooden stake, smashing a large area of sticky blood mud without moving.
Seeing the main general being killed, the enemy cavalry beside him burst into tears, and the entire formation became increasingly scattered and almost out of control.
The Daxi cavalry, who were attacked from both sides, finally collapsed completely after resisting for a while.
A large number of cavalrymen of the Daxi Army began to break through at all costs.
However, at this time, there were still people who had the strength to break through, after all, and even a large number of Daxi Army cavalry howled loudly and threw away their weapons on the spot, raising their hands high and begging for mercy, looking very pitiful.
However, in this chaotic battlefield, the scattered enemy troops were extremely difficult to deal with. The Tang army was eager to cross the river and had no ability and time to gather prisoners. Therefore, the Tang cavalry and spearmen who were so angry that they were still roaring like wild animals, and mercilessly wanted to kill all the remaining Daxi cavalry.
In the end, the Daxi cavalry, who had only less than 200 cavalry, fought hard and broke out of the siege, retreated back to the floating bridge in a panic, and saved their lives by chance and escaped.
The remaining 2,700 cavalrymen of Daxi were all killed by the wolf-like and tiger-like Tang army on this battlefield like Shura slaughterhouse.
At first glance, the entire plain suburb of Hengjiang north is like a slaughterhouse, with the corpses of enemy soldiers and war horses everywhere, all over the place, shocking, and the blood overflowing everywhere has already merged into a red blood river.
This long and winding river of blood meanders and flows bright red. After flowing into the Hengjiang River, it dyes the river water into a heart-wrenching scarlet red.
At this time, Zhang Kewang, the commander of the Daxi Army who had been postponing the supervision of the Daxi Army, saw that the 3,000 elite cavalry of his family were completely defeated by the Tang army in a short time. The anger and frustration in his heart were hard to describe in words.
