I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 190
Hundreds of heavy armored cavalry, unlike the light cavalry, did not loosen their formation at all in order to avoid arrows, but directly formed a frontal formation, like arrows flying from the string, and shot at the large formation of the rebels.

When the iron cavalry of the official army galloped to dozens of paces, the rebels discovered that these cavalry were actually well-equipped heavy cavalry.

Although the formation of the rebels was neatly arranged, the time when Wang Linhuai, who was in front of the formation, led the army to charge the formation was exactly when the rebels were eating and resting alternately.Although the formation can still be kept intact according to the method of alternating battle formations in the army, these soldiers are not from the same regiment and the same team. In the state of battle, I watched the black cavalry pressing up.

Of course, Wang Linhuai didn't expect to be able to succeed in one fell swoop this time.
The cavalry drove the horses to ram the infantry in front of them into the air, and then stabbed the enemy infantry with a lance.

It's like a torrent of huge waves, rushing in, slapping on the embankment, without breaking through, but the water of this huge wave will quickly swirl and turn continuously.

This is the case with the cavalry of the official army.

When the heavy cavalry of the first group were stopped by the rebel infantry, they did not love to fight, and the horses withdrew from the left and right wings.

Then the second team galloped again along the route and gap where the first team's heavy cavalry attacked, and the third team behind them had already started to form a team.

At this time, the first cavalry team had already circled from both sides of the point where they rushed to the rear of the army formation, and then all dismounted to rest their horsepower.

At this time, the third cavalry team was ready to sprint.

And the officers and soldiers were not without damage. Although they were well-armed, some iron cavalry were pierced with blood holes by the rebels' spears because they couldn't dodge in time.

Here in the rebel army, some people were pierced by the sudden lance, exposing a gap, and some shields were directly crushed by horseshoes, even the shoulder blade bones were crushed, and the whole person lay on the ground and wailed.

Blood mist splashed everywhere, falling to the ground and flowing into rivers.

Seeing that the defense line was loose, Li Zichun hurriedly sent orders to the former army to quickly fill up their positions, so that the former one would die and the next would follow.But for such a fierce impact of the official cavalry, there is almost no way to resist.

The gap continued to expand, and the two assaults caused at least hundreds of rebel casualties, and dozens of cavalry of the official army were also damaged.

However, the formation of the rebels has quickly sunk into a gap from the original straight horizontal line.

With their backs facing the formation of Feishui, the entire formation began to become crowded, even though Li Zichun kept calling out and using drums and flags to order the former army to resist.

But at this time, these are all in vain.

The offensive of the officers and cavalry continued like a tide.

As a military envoy, Wang Linhuai even changed horses in succession, attacking one of the rebel formations nine times.

Even Fu Jinchuan, who was on the city wall, couldn't help admiring when he saw the word "Wang" trapping the flag nine times into the enemy's line.

"Wang Linhuai is truly a brave general."

Finally, at the time of the ninth charge, the already crumbling army finally couldn't hold on anymore and began to retreat backwards.

The rebel army arranged nine military formations near the river, forming a large square formation, and the one facing the northwest corner was the one that the official army rushed across.

And once this army formation crosses, the army formations on both sides will naturally be coerced into chaos.Li Zichun hurriedly called for the military law team to kill the soldiers in disorder, trying to use military law to contain the defeat.

When Wang Linhuai saw the chaos in the army formation, he immediately divided all the heavy cavalry into several teams to drive away the defeated soldiers and disrupt the formation of the rebel army. Fu Jinchuan on the top of the city also waved the command flag at the right time to let the two capital cavalry who had already rested before going around the formation All the troops went into battle.

The army formation that has been charged by the heavy cavalry, even the unarmored light cavalry, can no longer pose a threat. The two are constantly rushing to kill the formation from the west and north respectively, not to kill the number of enemies, but to drive the defeated army back .

For the rebels, there is no way to retreat.

Originally, it was more than a dozen feet away from the river, but now with the enemy's cover-up, several army formations have all been in chaos, and the soldiers of the rebels are next to each other.Even on the riverside, soldiers continued to fall into the water under the crowd.

So people began to take off their armor, jump into the water, and swim down, which was the way of life for them.

Stampede on each other and the dead are also countless.

At this time, the infantry led by Liang Dai and Zhou Shize arrived at the battlefield on time according to the military order, and quickly went into battle.

There are about 300 soldiers left in this infantry. After yesterday's battle, although it was a big victory, it also injured more than [-] people.

Follow behind the cavalry and reap the fruits of battle.

The cavalry continued to whirl and attack, while the infantry lined up like a wall, squeezing the rebels bit by bit without any room to move.

They can only dive into the water one after another to escape. For them, as long as they go ashore by bypassing the corridor from the river, they can escape alive.

Seeing this, Fu Jinchuan hurriedly ordered the defenders in the city to dispatch [-] crossbowmen to cross the river from Shuimen at the north gate to the east bank of Feishui River, and then on the east bank, they used crossbow arrows to intercept and kill the rebel soldiers who had taken off their armor in the water.

The crossbow arrows hit the human body, and blood flowers appeared one after another in the water, and the river was soon dyed red.

However, there were still soldiers who were lucky enough not to be shot by the crossbow arrows, waded through the tunnel, and fled back to the rebel camp.

But most of the rebels were unable to retreat, and were driven and killed by the official infantry in front.

Either die or fall.

There were also rebel soldiers under the organization of the officers, unable to retreat, and launched a counterattack.

But without exception, they were all dispersed by the cavalry of the official army and fled in a rout.

Just like a dying sheep, trying to use its horns to drive away the tigers and wolves that are besieging and killing the flock.

This kind of counterattack is naturally meaningless, but it also allows the officers and soldiers to fight more cautiously under the coordination of infantry.

Because Fu Jinchuan, who was the coach long before the war, said that the trapped beast will still fight.Be cautious in this battle, don't underestimate the rebels, and don't damage your own elite just because you underestimate the enemy.

While the rebels were facing the gate of the camp in Shouzhou City, the officers and soldiers still used crossbow arrows to suppress the rebels in the camp from a distance, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to fill the trenches with soil, which was not affected by the battle on the west bank of Feishui River. Both sides are fighting each other.

As for going out to fight against the camp, it is absolutely impossible to meet the [-] soldiers outside.

The official army specially reserved a cavalry army, just beside the infantry attacking the camp, waiting for the rebels to leave the camp.

However, the rebels had a superior force, but they could only hide in the camp and hold on.

But on the other side of the Anfeng camp, Xue Julin saw the cavalry outside, and knew that he could only stand still now.

If you want to go out to fight across the river, you have no chance of winning.

Because the scouts on his side of the rebel army had already found out that the official cavalry stationed in the camp outside the city did not come out to help in the battle, that is to say, almost [-] cavalry were waiting for him to leave the camp not far away.

Going out now is exactly what you want.

In other words, most of Li Zichun's 1 people were wiped out under the eyes of his own army.

More than [-] people waded through the tunnel to escape.

And the remaining nearly [-] people were either killed in battle or surrendered.

The rebels once again experienced the bravery of the elite officers and soldiers and the great power of the cavalry in the plains.

However, these were actually within the expectations of the rebel generals. For them, today's failure is acceptable.

Even to some extent, they were not defeated, because the goals they planned before the war were accomplished.

The construction of the trench corridor that can be extended to the river is completed.
