Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Nine
"Woo...Woo...Woo..." The horn sounded long, cutting through the sky above the wilderness, heavy and desolate.
Accompanied by the long and powerful horns, the rebel archers began to enter the shooting range and pulled their bows in place. At the same time, the iron cavalry came out and rushed in. After a moment, the sound of hooves was like thunder and the war horses were like waves.
The Sui army in the imperial court was also ready.
"Shoot the arrow!"
The arrow shot out at a forty-five degrees, and the sky was filled with swordfish, shooting towards the opposite array, landing on the enemy, killing in a fixed range.
The front row soldiers resisted with shields, and most of the falling arrows were blocked.
"Cavals attack!"
Luo Zhaoyun called the order and three thousand iron cavalry attacked, led by the commander of the Asian general Ning Wufei, and the rumbling earthquake sounded, and the five thousand troops rushed over.
In terms of number of people, the Sui army's vanguard was not superior, whether it was infantry or iron cavalry.
If you can exert your maximum combat power, it will depend on the command of the general.
The war has begun.
The cavalry braved the rain of arrows and charged quickly. At this moment, the arrows were shot rapidly, and the horses galloped, fighting each other. The cavalry took dozens of steps, just facing the first round of arrows and rain. People shouted that the horses were neighing. Some unlucky knights were shot into the arrows, just like they were hit by a trippy horse rope, and they suddenly fell down.
But before the second round of arrow rain could be shot, the cavalry had already collided, causing the archers on both sides to shoot arrows at the cavalry's combat area to prevent them from hurting their own people.
The two iron cavalry are like the moment when two huge waves meet in the Yellow River. The galloping inertia instantly solidifies, and then the people are tilted, the flesh and blood fly, the bones are broken, and the sounds of being trampled endlessly.
"Kill-kill--"
"Puff puff puff!"
The sound of the knife was crisp and the blood was splattered. From time to time, someone was picked, killed, and stabbed to death. In such a cruel battlefield, everyone was desperately wielding this life. They were slaughtering others just now, and they might have died in the next second, becoming a pile of meat paste under the horse's hooves.
Suddenly, this area of fighting was bloody, broken limbs and legs, rolling in level, bleeding into a canal.
Bang bang bang bang!
The army of both sides began to move, just like two mountains converging forward, each investing 10,000 infantry formations, and the main force was about to fight.
The general sent by the Sui army this time was Changsun. He was the main war faction in the camp who supported Luo Zhaoyun's advance northwards. Therefore, it is beyond refutation that Luo Zhaoyun would hand over the task of leading the main force to those who could trust.
"kill--"
The infantry soldiers on both sides began to fight. This time, the Sui army mainly focused on long spears and long hair. This was Luo Zhaoyun's intentional choice. Today he taught a set of simple and practical gun techniques to this group of soldiers. This was a kind of gun skill he woven with his later military combat ideas, combined with his experience in martial arts in ancient times. It was more practical for these imperial soldiers.
The more direct and effective a simple and ruthless killer move, the more effective it is, with a long spear in your hand. Whether it is charge on the horse's back, or rushing on foot, or fighting alone, the advantages are more obvious.
Luo Zhaoyun knew very well that his advantage was not about force, but about vision.
Two thousand years later, he saw too much basic knowledge on the Internet and history books. Although the truth that every descendant can understand is the truth, it is often new ideas and novel ideas in the Sui and Tang dynasties.
At this time, the Sui army's 10,000 troops were obviously stronger in morale, suppressing the momentum of 10,000 rebels. After seeing this, the chief general He Dangui sent out another 10,000 troops to reinforce and resist the advancement of the Sui army.
After seeing this, Luo Zhaoyun ordered to raise the flag and send more than 2,000 more people to join. Then the army changed its formation and expanded its wings, and after the fierce rebels were brought into the crane wing formation.
The rebels used a fish scale formation, mainly for breakthroughs in the middle, so He Dangui sent another 5,000 troops, with the focus on tearing through the middle area and rushing towards the Sui army's formation.
At this moment, the Sui army's troops were not as powerful as the rebels, and even nearly half of them were fewer, so the area of the war was already at a disadvantage.
Luo Zhaoyun's face was solemn and still remained calm, but the two Asian generals beside him, Hou Mo Chenying and Zhou Botao, were all secretly anxious. Once they were defeated, they would have no way out and would die without a burial place if they were covered and killed.
Not only did the two know in their hearts, but also other generals, commanders, and even soldiers also understood in their hearts.
On the north bank of the Yellow River, there are only 20,000 vanguard troops. Once they fail, you can imagine that they cannot retreat. Even if they retreat to the edge of the Yellow River, people will die.
Many generals began to feel a little dissatisfied with Luo Zhaoyun's rash battle. They felt that he was young and energetic and eager to make achievements, so he was so unsense and unsteady at all.
"General Luo, our army has less than 20,000 troops in formation, and at least 3,000 people are missing. Did they all escape?" Hou Mo Chen Ying asked, his tone changed a little. Now, there are only 17,000 people on their side to kill. When three thousand cavalrymen and 12,000 soldiers were invested, there were less than 2,000 soldiers.
In addition to the archers and guards, there are more than a thousand soldiers to call. When the troops on the battlefield cannot resist, they will be defeated immediately.
"The mountain man has his own trick!" Luo Zhaoyun did not answer directly. In fact, before sending troops, he assigned three thousand soldiers in advance, and led by several trusted lieutenants, he had already ambushed out in advance to use the effect of surprise troops.
"It's time." Luo Zhaoyun sent someone to recruit Guo Xiaoke and said, "Person Guo, the weakness of the fish scale formation lies in the tail side. I ordered you to immediately lead the three hundred guards and cavalry around and attack the enemy's tail!"
"Abide by the order!" Although Guo Xiaoke did not know the reason and took away the 300 guards and who would protect General Luo, in the face of the war, he did not dare to question or stop him. He obeyed completely and had to absolutely trust the general.
When Guo Xiaoke led three hundred cavalry out from behind to attack the enemy formation, Luo Zhaoyun ordered another order to blow up the horn and emit signal arrows.
In an instant, from a valley on the side, there were shouts of killing and gongs and drums. Flags were waving and dust was flying. A thousand ambush rushed out hundreds of meters away from the left side of the rebels. Smoke and dust rolled, like thousands of people.
"Report——, no, General He, the ambush of the Sui army appeared on the left, and there were thousands of soldiers and horses!"
He Dangui frowned and said, "This is impossible. Didn't the Sui army's vanguard only have 20,000 troops? Did he hide the remaining troops and set up this ambush?"
A general said, "General He, perhaps the Sui army did not come from 20,000 troops, and we had already secretly transported more troops, and we did not realize it."
"Come to the enemy now!"
A rebel deputy general went to the left of the formation to command, mobilized thousands of troops and fought in a hurry, but in fact he was a little confused and worried.
Just as the battle started here, there were shouts of killing sounds from the jungle hundreds of meters to the right of the rebels again. The horns were blowing, and the gongs and drums soared into the sky. Another Sui army came out to attack the rebels, and the momentum was even greater.
The flags were flying, and the plants and trees were all soldiers, as if there was endless force rushing out. This time, the rebels fighting were uneasy, and their momentum suddenly weakened, and they were worried about being surrounded by the Sui army. (To be continued.)
