2048: Unexpected
Li Jiarong naturally saw the airship rising from Tongfang City, and was also shocked. However, what he was worried about was that the airship would launch an attack on his army from the air rather than anything else. Seeing that the airship hovered in the sky and did not have any other actions, he felt much more relieved. It seemed that this was just a reconnaissance airship responsible for reconnaissance on the battlefield for the sake of the enemy generals, and it was much more useful than the scout.
Wu Lin also looked up at the airship in the center of the Five Ray Formation. Beside him, he followed a signal soldier with a signal flag on his back. This was the bond he connected with the airship and with the distant Jiangshangyan.
The surging Qi army quickly swallowed up his five thousand troops, and the Five-Rare Formation was like a reef in the vast ocean, standing tenaciously under the impact of waves of wild waves.
Ten miles away, Jiang Shangyan also looked up at the airship in the sky and paid close attention to the movement of the airship. He needed the best time to enter the battlefield, and this could only depend on Wulin's judgment. Jiang Shangyan believed that a long-distance general like Wulin would definitely not miss the best time.
Time passed by minute by minute, and more than 10,000 cavalry waited patiently for the final order to arrive.
The airship in the sky suddenly began to accelerate in the air, changing its trajectory continuously, marking one after another. Jiang Shangyan, who saw all this, smiled on the corner of her mouth.
He turned onto a horse.
As he moved, more than 10,000 cavalrymen stepped onto their horses in unison.
"Strike!" Jiang Shangyan destroyed the horses and ran towards Tongfang City.
Li Jiarong's heart became anxious for no reason. The crazy attacks of the Qi army did not shake the Ming army's lineup. Although their military formation had been reduced a lot compared to the beginning, every time they shrank, the elasticity would be greater.
The strange behavior of the airship in the sky naturally would not escape his eyes. Of course, this ghost would not have acted in the air and started the horn madness. Its actions must represent some intention, but he just didn't understand.
As a general, he hates such things that he cannot understand or control.
"There are gathering troops in the city!" The palm flag beside him suddenly shouted. Li Jiarong took his eyes from the air and looked at the head of Tongfang City. Sure enough, the flags on the city were waving, and the Ming army, which was originally waiting for battle on the city wall, was rapidly decreasing.
Did Wu Lin feel that he couldn't hold on anymore and wanted the army in the city to come out to pick him up and retreat? Li Jiarong was a little confused because until now, he still had 10,000 reserve troops but had not moved. At this moment, if the troops were not sent in the city, they would have hit them. It was a hard iron plate. As long as the soldiers leaving the city were entangled, it would no longer be a dream to seize Tongfang City.
But, is it really that easy?
While he was uncertain, he saw several gates of Tongfang City open almost at the same time, and Ming troops rushed out inside.
The Qi army on both sides of the left and right were very happy at this moment. Although they had planned this way before, they did not expect much to see the situation. But strangely, things that were not expected actually appeared inexplicably.
No matter what it is, it is an excellent once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. Without waiting for Li Jiarong's military order, the Qi generals on both wings naturally led their troops to meet them.
At this point, even the generals on both sides could no longer control the situation on the entire battlefield. There was only one last thing left, that was, roll up their sleeves and do it! Until one side completely failed.
Li Jiarong no longer hesitated and pulled out the big knife that poked on the ground. He was about to take his last reserve team, his most elite thousand cavalry, to attack Wulin's Five-Rare Formation. He opened the gap, cut, interspersed, and then steadily ate it with his superior forces.
The war horse felt the owner's passionate fighting spirit and raised his head and neighed. As soon as Li Jiarong's sword was raised, a wave of tremor suddenly came from the ground, and a rumbling sound like muffled thunder came faintly from the distance.
Li Jiarong's face turned pale in an instant.
He suddenly turned around, and in his sight, the vast cavalry spread like a flood, and the flying Ming flag was so dazzling at this moment.
Ten thousand infantry gathered together, but when tens of thousands of cavalry gathered together to launch a charge, the scene was really scary.
The flying flag of Jiang characters made Li Jiarong's pupils shrink continuously. Why did the Yan on the River appear here?
At this moment, he was both jealous and finally understood why Wulin had to go to the battle today and why everything here seemed so abnormal today.
"Gather the formation, gather the formation!" He gave orders to the messengers beside him hoarsely, and the messengers waved the flag desperately. The drummers beat the drums desperately to pass Li Jiarong's orders onto the battlefield.
But everything is in vain. At this moment, tens of thousands of people were divided into several small battlefields and fighting fiercely with each other. How can they get out and how can they gather a lineup to prevent cavalry from attacking?
Even the artillery in the central army was facing the direction of Tongfang City before. At this moment, although the artillery soldiers wanted to turn the gun mouth, how could the Qi army's cannons that were often thousands of pounds easily turn around?
The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the sound rang deep in Li Jiarong's heart. He roared, raised the sword in his hand, and brought a thousand elite cavalry to meet the Ming cavalry that had already charged forward.
When his thousand cavalry were engulfed by the surging Ming cavalry, the thunder fire in the central army's main formation finally started to fire. A cannon also turned its gun, and fired its first gun at the endless cavalry charge group.
Ma Houyo yelled and rushed into the panicked enemy group. The tall war horse under his crotch raised its two huge front hooves and fell down. A Qi soldier who was holding a gun and was about to stab it was immediately trampled under his feet. The iron armor made an unpleasant squeaking sound. The front hooves were oozing. The front hooves fell into place and were gently slapped by Ma Hou. The two rear hooves were kicked back quickly. The two cavalrymen blew their mouths and flew backwards. The war horses ran forward like wind. Ma Hou waved his big sword, and first cut off the head of a Qi general cleanly. The blade had not yet faded, so he continued to wave forward. The tip of the knife passed through the neck of another cavalry. Seeing the man covering his neck in horror, but no matter how hard he used, the blood could not stop spraying from his fingers.
Ma Hou would not have any mercy in his eyes, which was an emotion that only happened after the war. In his eyes, these enemies are no different from the wooden stakes that he usually cut down with his command.
Ma Hou and his army advanced very quickly. He did not see the small group of Qi cavalry who were desperately attacking Jiang Shangyan, but went straight forward. He wanted to penetrate the Qi people's military formation and cut them apart.
Compared with him, Xu Sanmei's three thousand cavalry advances much slower, but the killing is much more than that of Ma Hou's troops. Whoever leads what kind of soldiers? Ma Hou has been defeated since childhood because of fighting and killing people is not the goal. Achieving strategic goals is the ultimate goal, so he thought about how to win at the lowest cost.
Xu Sanmei was born as a Lulin Hero, but she thought about how to kill the enemy completely and then win the final victory. Therefore, Xu Sanmei's army was spread very wide across the cross-section, while Mahou's three thousand cavalry were arranged into several arrow formations.
The moment Wu Lin saw the Yan cavalry on the Yangtze River appear in his field of vision, his lineup had changed. The previous five-ray formation had slowly turned into a circular formation under the attack of the Qi army, and it turned into a thick turtle shell. At this time, the turtle shell suddenly opened and turned into one attack formation after another. One spear after another opened the way, and the sword and shield followed, and rushed out from inside to out.
When Li Jiarong's banner was completely cut off by Jiang Shangyan's cavalry and fell into the dust, when Li Jiarong, who had always hoped to kill Jiang Shangyan, was picked up by an unknown soldier and threw it into the air with a spear. When it fell down, it was stabbed and hung in the air by four or five spears at the same time, the Qi army finally collapsed.
In fact, the Ming generals were very impressed by their ability to persist for such a long time under such a blow.
A collapsed army would not have to be more troubled by the generals. The next time is when the cavalry harvested the results, chasing the fleeing enemies is the favorite thing the cavalry do.
Wu Lin naturally threw out his few cavalrymen to make some military achievements. As for the infantry, let it go. After fighting for most of the day, they were still exhausted at this moment. Staying here is better to stay and clean the battlefield. It is also a good job. The soldiers can get a lot of money from the dead.
At this point, the Qi army's attack was basically a failure, but one day later, the information from the airship caused the smiles on several people to be curled. Peng Chun's 20,000 people were not from Wanzhou City at all. They walked along the border of Wanzhou for a long distance, and then suddenly turned a corner and headed towards Xiangzhou.
"I originally wanted you to rest here for two days, so I would do my best to do my landlords, but now it seems that I can't do it." Wulin smiled and said, "You seem to be on the way again."
"Cavals are just a hard life!" Jiang Shangyan laughed loudly, "President Wu prepared enough dry food, wine and other things for us. We went to chase Peng Chun. The boy wanted to be Sun Wukong and get into Princess Iron Fan's stomach to make a fuss, so we had to be the Buddha."
"A small matter! After an hour, you will be ready for all the generals and subordinates."
