Chapter 1226 Dare to call the sun and the moon to a new sky

The officers and soldiers in the north did not expect that Xu Huaiqing would launch an attack in the dark, obviously a little unprepared.In their view, the two most powerful weapons of Wang Xianjun in the dark, firearms and bows and arrows, will be greatly reduced in power, so they want to take advantage of the dark sky to try their luck.

Unbeknownst to them, after a day of fierce fighting, Xu Huaiqing and the others had run out of ammunition and all their arrows... Although they recovered some arrows, it was not worth the effort!

More importantly, Xu Huaiqing wants to hold Yang Rong tonight, how can he succeed without giving the officers and soldiers a head-on blow? !

"Kill!" Five thousand cavalry rushed out of the darkness, like a pack of hungry wolves, and crazily rushed into the enemy's formation holding torches!
The torches of the officers and soldiers could only illuminate a few feet away, and only then did they see clearly that the enemy was approaching, and hurriedly raised their weapons to resist, but it was not an enemy with a saber and saber that carried a thousand ton of power.The officers and soldiers walking at the forefront screamed that their weapons were cut off and cut in half!In the dark night, no blood or stumps could be seen flying, only the screams that filled the mountains and plains, the crisp sound of weapons clashing, the splashing sound of flesh and blood being split open... It was equally terrifying!
Before the officers and soldiers in the back row could react, the comrades in front had already been cut off by their horses!Only then did they see that the enemy army had already rushed in front of them, before they even had time to raise their weapons, they were knocked away by the galloping horses!
As soon as they fought, the formation of the officers and soldiers was in chaos. Xu Huaiqing took advantage of the momentum of the charge and led his troops into the formation of the officers and soldiers. Countless officers and soldiers died under their swords and horses. Suddenly, the pressure was gone. Come out!

Xu Huaiqing laughed loudly, took down the longbow from behind, picked up a special long arrow in the quiver, and shot it towards the northwest!

With a sharp whistling sound, Mingdi pierced the bloody night sky and directed the soldiers to gallop to the northwest!

.

A few miles outside the city of Tongzhou, Yang Rong's Chinese army flag is located.Xu Huaiqing's prediction was right. Yang Rong didn't dare to leave Tongzhou too far. If it wasn't for the fact that the city gates had to be closed in the dark and it was inconvenient to command the surrounding areas of the city, he wouldn't even leave Tongzhou City.

Even at this time, Yang Rong still couldn't give up the idea of ​​returning to the city. He was too contradictory. On the one hand, Tongzhou must not allow any losses, and on the other hand, Xu Huaiqing must be eliminated as soon as possible.Open up the road for grain transportation, and transport the grain and grass materials in Tongzhou back to the capital as soon as possible!

Yang Rong couldn't think of a way to have the best of both worlds, so he had to stay vigilant against Tongzhou City while leaving the city to command. It wasn't until he learned that Xu Huaiqing was cruising around Yongtong Bridge that Yang Rong finally made up his mind.It couldn't be better to be able to command the battle without being too far away from the city.

Unexpectedly, not long after the encirclement was ordered, news came that Xu Huaiqing defeated the army in the north and broke out!
Yang Rong was furious immediately, and asked Qian Hu who came to report the letter: "Don't you understand the old man's order? You must be in step and echo each other, so as not to give the enemy an opportunity!"

"This..." Qian Huxin said that I was just an errand messenger, what's the use of you yelling at me?

"A bunch of trash!" Yang Rong stomped his feet angrily, Wang Xianjun had already broken out, what's the use of the encirclement he had painstakingly formed? !
In fact, Xueshi Yang was also angry with his book business. He was a civil servant after all, and he didn't know that planning in advance was one thing, and actually leading troops to fight was another.It is already the limit to be able to guarantee that [-]% to [-]% will not be out of character!Therefore, the general must not plan too much, and leave enough room for error. Like him, it is impossible to do so accurately that every army must be in step, and appear in the corresponding position exactly. arrived.

Yang Rong thought that Xu Huaiqing had already broken through, and was mourning his self-criticism, when suddenly he heard the report from the scouts: "The enemy army has turned back and launched an attack on the North Route Army again, and the North Route Army is completely defeated!"

Yang Rong heard the news, but instead of being surprised, he was overjoyed. He slapped his thigh and said, "Okay! There is a way to heaven, he will not go, and there is no way to hell, come and vote!" In Yang Xueshi's view, Wang Xianjun did not take the opportunity to escape, because he underestimated the army Performance!That being the case, then there is no need to go!

Yang Rong immediately ordered the troops from all walks of life to change their marching routes, and quickly formed a situation of encircling and intercepting Wang Xianjun in the north!

In the dark night, it is impossible to see the battle situation in the distance at all, only to listen to the scouts' constant reports:
"Report! The enemy army defeated the North Route Army and went straight to the flank of the Northwest Army!"

"Report! The formation of the Northwest Route Army was penetrated horizontally, and Deputy Commander Chen was killed!"

"Report! The West Route Army was not attacked, and the enemy turned back to the north and attacked the Northeast Route Army that had just rushed over!"

"Report! The Northeast Route Army fought fiercely with the enemy, and suffered heavy losses. Both lieutenants were killed in battle, and the enemy took the road away!"

"Report! The enemy army ambushed the South Route Army heading north and drove them down the Yongtong River. The ice surface of the Yongtong River was broken, and countless people drowned!"

"Report! The Eastern Route Army has been attacked..."

"Report! The West Route Army has been attacked..."

"Report! Southwest Army..."

Within two hours, nearly [-] officers and troops divided into eight groups were attacked by Xu Huaiqing more than a dozen times, but there was not a single victory!There were more than a dozen generals above the commander of the army who were beheaded, and there were countless ordinary soldiers, and it was impossible to count them in the dark!

"Then Xu Huaiqing is bringing heavenly soldiers and generals?!" Yang Rong was completely mad. He took off his official hat and threw it on the ground, untied the belt that was in the way, and waved it in the air with his teeth and claws in his hands. Is there still a half-country old style?
"The dark night gave Xu Huaiqing the best cover, and we divided our troops into multiple ways so that he could defeat each of them." The generals on the side quickly explained: "But don't worry, Mr. Ge, after all, he only has [-] soldiers and horses. It's been damaged..." But I felt very relieved in my heart, secretly thinking that you finally understand why Xu Huaiqing can hold the grain army on the road with only five thousand soldiers.Why was Li Xianneng forced to go back to the city!It's not that we don't work hard, it's because the enemy army is too cruel!

However, Yang Rong's frustration did not come from Xu Huaiqing's inhuman combat power, but because he made a fatal mistake!Before, Yang Rong thought that Xu Huaiqing would definitely escape under the siege of the army, so he set up such a trap.Now he finally understands that Xu Huaiqing has no intention of running away at all, and people don't pay attention to his net at all!It is necessary to use a mere five thousand soldiers to fight against him!
At this moment, Xueshi Yang couldn't care about Tongzhou or the overall situation anymore. He only had one thought in his mind, which was to get rid of Xu Huaiqing and his subordinates to relieve the great hatred in his heart!

If he loses a battle with such disparity in strength, not only will he become the laughing stock of the world, but also the civil servants will be isolated from military power forever!This is absolutely unacceptable to Yang Rong!

Even with the teachings of the sages in mind, Yang Rong was still burned by the boundless karma and lost his mind. He finally got on his horse and led the 5000 cavalry to supervise the battle.

.

Driven by Yang Rong, the officers and soldiers finally formed his ideal lotus formation. When every position is attacked, there will be reinforcements from all directions immediately. No need to worry about being alone and being ravaged by Xu Huaiqing!
It's just that the price of forming this formation is really too high...

But in any case, having more soldiers is the last word, and the officers and soldiers began to shrink their formation. As their formation became tighter and tighter, the opportunities for Xu Huaiqing became less and less...

I don't know how many times I beat the enemy army into a sieve, I don't know how many times Xu Huaiqing shot Ming Di, and I saw that the number of soldiers gathered around him was less and less. Looking around, even the most optimistic estimate is less than three thousand. counted.

Despite the cover of night, even though the enemy divided his troops and gave him every opportunity to break through, there was a price to be paid for such a reckless charge!After more than a dozen attacks, half of the soldiers had died heroically, and the remaining half of the troops were all wounded.Not only were the soldiers bleeding, but the horses were also bruised, snorting with difficulty, and were on the verge of exhaustion...

But everyone's faces were full of pride. Although they couldn't see the scene of the enemy's corpses strewn across the field and wolves running wild, they all knew very well that this battle was enough to make them famous in history, and they could compete with anyone The legend is on par!

"The enemy's formation is getting tighter and tighter, and we have no ability to break through." Xu Huaiqing was stabbed in his right arm, exposing his bones. He could only change to hold a Xuanhua ax in his left arm, but he was still full of pride. His sons laughed and said, "But who cares, we don't even think about getting out alive!"

"Yes!" The soldiers were obviously exhausted, but after hearing Xu Huaiqing's words, they felt that the blood in their bodies was burning, and their strength returned to their bodies.

"Now we only have one last goal left, which is to last till dawn!" Xu Huaiqing said proudly, "When dawn dawns, our mission will be completed! If the fatal one is still alive, just run for his life..." Suddenly After a pause, he said, "However, I guess I can't escape."

The soldiers burst into laughter, and followed Xu Huaiqing to launch another attack!

As the pioneers in Wang Xianjun's army who paved the way, only attack, attack, and attack are in their dictionary!
Even in this long and cold winter night, even if they are surrounded by layers of enemy troops, even if they have no hope of surviving, they still stick to their creed, even if they die, they must die on the way to attack!
The enemy's formation has become more and more dense, and countless spears have formed a large formation that specializes in defeating cavalry!The number of Xu Huaiqing's soldiers is getting smaller and smaller, their speed is getting slower and slower, and their attack power is getting smaller and smaller, but they still follow their generals, fighting in and out of the enemy's formation!
So what if the horses are stabbed to death by the enemy's spears, they can still dismount and fight on foot!So what if the weapon in your hand is knocked away, you can still punch and kick!So what if the arms and legs are cut off, you can still bite with your teeth and headbutt!Even if their heads are chopped off, the enemy's face must be sprayed with blood!
The officers and soldiers were completely terrified. What kind of lunatics are these? !What is supporting them to fight so endlessly? !
The officers and soldiers completely understood, no wonder they were able to sweep across the grasslands and wiped out the mighty Tatars and Duoyan!It turned out that it was not what the court advertised at all, and it was no luck at all!

The officers and soldiers were completely confused. What made them have to fight endlessly with these national heroes?Could it be that Wang Xian, whom these people swear to follow to the death, is really a treacherous and vicious thief who steals the country as the court advertises? !
