Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 651 Chaos

Naturally, Ye Chen would not have the slightest fear. He took the eight-stone bow from his back, pulled out a special iron arrow and wound it, and shouted: "Kill!" The army passed through the first cavalryman, and passed through nine people in a row, before the iron arrow stopped on the last cavalryman.The cavalryman then turned into a human bomb and his upper body exploded.

At the beginning of the year, Ye Chen used this tactic against the Dangxiang cavalry on the Hengshan grassland in the northwest. One arrow could kill or injure more than 100 cavalry, and it could also scare a large number of war horses, thus disrupting the cavalry's sprint.However, this time there was no result as in the northwest. The number of casualties was about the same, but the loud explosion did not frighten the horses, and the cavalry sprint was only affected in a small area.

When Ye Chen was surprised, his eyes were like torches, and he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with the rebel horses. His eyes were a little red. It was obvious that Pan Mei used some secret technique to make these horses almost lose their minds, but they could be controlled by the cavalry. It is not affected by external factors such as fear and loud noise.

Obviously, in order to deal with Ye Chen, Pan Mei has worked hard in private these days.

When Ye Chen shot an arrow, he personally led a hundred cavalrymen and a thousand Huaxia guards behind him to charge towards the rebels on horseback.

Seeing this scene, Cao Wei, who had finally rushed out of the rebel phalanx in the distance, his face changed drastically. One thousand cavalry was facing off against five thousand rebel cavalry, and there were still two thousand heavy cavalry in the rebel army, although he knew Ye Chen's strength was terrifying The black cavalry and Huaxia Guards behind Ye Chen were also better than ordinary cavalry, but he still didn't think they could be the opponents of the five thousand cavalry led by Pan Mei.

Not only Cao Wei, but Wang Tong and other generals also thought the same way. Although Pan Mei, who was dressed the same as the other generals and kept her face hidden, felt that everything went too smoothly, she also thought the same way.Only Xu Fangyi, who supervised the battle with five hundred infantrymen in front of the pontoon bridge by the river behind the rebel army, felt something was wrong.There was even a feeling of imminent disaster, so without hesitation, without saying a word, he took more than 40 of his confidant spies onto the pontoon bridge and walked across the river.

When the distance between the two sides was 300 steps, the [-] soldiers behind Ye Chen all raised their single-handed crossbows. With Ye Chen's "shot", [-] arrows flew out, and more than [-] people dodged. The rebel cavalry who couldn't make it fell to the ground.It just didn't affect the rebel cavalry sprint too much.Pan Mei looked at Ye Chen who was getting closer and closer to her, and she was so excited that she couldn't help herself. He had already made arrangements. As long as the plan went well and the scene in front of him progressed, he would kill or capture Ye Chen alive regardless of losses. Chen, as long as Ye Chen dies or is captured, not only can the situation of the battle be reversed immediately, but the follow-up benefits are unparalleled.

However, when the distance between the two sides was thirty steps, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly there was a shout of killing from the two thousand heavy cavalry behind the five thousand rebel cavalry, and then the two thousand heavy cavalry suddenly accelerated, raised their iron guns and began to charge towards the three thousand friendly troops in front.

More than ten days ago, at the Imperial City Square in Kyoto, Li Jilong, the commander of King Jin and the Yunqi Army, was shot to death by Ye Chen with a heavy sniper rifle, and the two thousand heavy cavalry of the Yunqi Army fled here with Pan Mei.Pan Mei spent a lot of energy and promised a lot of benefits along the way, and only then did she initially subdue the generals of the two thousand heavy cavalry.However, Pan Mei still couldn't feel completely at ease with them, so the cavalry of his direct descendants followed closely behind him, and he put the two thousand heavy cavalry of the Cloud Cavalry Army at the end.Unexpectedly, at this most critical moment, she actually rebelled and dealt Pan Mei the most important and fatal blow.But he didn't know that as early as a few days ago, Lian Jicheng had disguised himself and mixed into their army, and had conspired with the generals of the two thousand cloud cavalry with Ye Chen's letter of promise.

The front of the [-] cavalry was blocked by [-] cavalry led by Ye Chen, who were already superior in combat power, and the [-] heavy cavalry charged behind them without warning. Even people who have no knowledge of warfare can easily imagine what kind of result it will be. result.What's more, Cao Wei, Wang Tong and others have led the cavalry back to help.

The outcome of the disastrous defeat of the rebels cannot be changed.Xu Fangyi, who had already run to the middle of the pontoon bridge, felt something. He turned his head and glanced, his face changed drastically, and he ran out of the pontoon bridge with more than 50 confidants, and without hesitation, he ordered his confidantes to cut down the pontoon bridge directly. He wanted to cut off the way for the rebels to escape, and at the same time cut off the way for Ye Chen to chase and kill him, but he only had time to cut down one of the three pontoon bridges, because there were a hundred Pan Mei confidants guarding the pontoon bridge on the river side. The soldiers had already rushed over with shouts, Xu Fangyi didn't want to fight these people, so he led his men and rushed towards the forest not far away.

The rebel infantry was already on the verge of collapse. Seeing the two thousand heavy cavalry turn their backs, their morale and fighting spirit disappeared immediately. run away.Wang Tong and other generals of the imperial army led their respective troops and saw that the rebels' two thousand heavy cavalry had turned their backs, so they turned around and began to pursue the infantry.It's just that the battle just now, especially the forced U-turn, made them lose their formation. Once the army loses its camp on the battlefield, it is almost impossible to regroup for a while.

So apart from Pan Mei's more than 2000 cavalry who were surrounded and massacred by Ye Chen's [-] soldiers, [-] rebellious heavy cavalry, and [-] cavalry led by Cao Wei, the battlefield was out of control at this time, but the imperial cavalry They are chasing and killing wildly while taking advantage of the victory, while the rebel infantry are running around, and the situation is irreversible.

The bowstring crackled, and Wang Tong's cavalry archers were the fastest to chase, shooting at the moving deserters while chasing.

The yellow dust pervading the wilderness is like a blazing flame, and countless running pawns seem to be galloping in the fire.On the battlefield, no one knows who is which group of people, they are all running around, the general is only surrounded by his own soldiers, and no one can command the current army.

The ground was full of dead and wounded rebels, and the cavalry trampled over the corpses and wounded soldiers mercilessly.The contact surface of the battlefield is limited, and many soldiers have not killed the last time, so they just run along.So the cavalry of the Imperial Army scrambled to be the first to catch up, killing a few more people and cutting off a few more heads in order to get more rewards and achievements.

Near the river, the scene became even more brutal. Countless rebel infantry were squeezed to the water's edge and became denser.Many people fell into the river and struggled in the water. Some people raised their heads to breathe heavily, and some were washed into the middle of the river and drowned directly.Soldiers in armor could not float up, and countless people drowned.

There were originally three pontoon bridges on the river, one of which was cut off by Xu Fangyi, and some people grabbed the boats and wooden boards used to build the pontoon bridges to survive.More people looked at the pontoon, unable to squeeze through, and there were people all around.

The imperial cavalry swept in, and the crowd panicked, and more people were squeezed into the water.Some people knelt down and begged for mercy, but they were quickly overthrown and trampled by the dense crowd of their own people. The screams and begging for mercy resounded by the river. Xu Fangyi, who had already run into the dense forest, turned his head and looked pale. While being more afraid, I also feel lucky that I am alert.

At this moment, a fire flashed in the river suddenly, and the rebels looked up one after another. The two pontoon bridges caught fire at the same time, and no one knew how it started.Despair was written on everyone's faces, and some people were already kneeling and crying.

A voice from among the rebellious soldiers shouted: "Don't squeeze! Everyone, throw down your weapons and beg for mercy!"

"It's already defeated, just surrender and save your life."

"We should have surrendered long ago!"

However, some of the cavalrymen of the imperial army were so jealous that they only wanted to cut off more heads in exchange for rewards, so they continued to kill without hesitation.

Ye Chen had already discovered this in the distance, a hundred black cavalry came rushing at this time, and Ye Chen's handsome flag fluttered in the wind.Hu Sanguang shouted: "The commander-in-chief has an order to stop the slaughter and kill those who disobey!"

Everyone knew that the hundred black cavalry were the commander's personal soldiers, so the hundred black cavalry roared past, and the soldiers of the imperial army stopped wherever they went, looking up at the flag.All of the rebel soldiers knelt down and shouted in disorder, with vague flattery such as "Thank you King Xiangfu for saving the people...".

Ten breaths later, in a cloud of smoke and dust, the rebel infantry fell to their knees in a large area, and many people around them also fell to their knees one after another.It was as if a god had thrown a stone in the middle, and the wave-like ripples spread rapidly around.Soon all the nearly [-] infantrymen who were still alive dropped their weapons and knelt down.

"Surrender..." "Forgive me..." Shocking shouts resounded in disorder among a large area of ​​rebel soldiers. Countless people knelt in the wilderness. Pan Mei led more than 1000 horsemen who were struggling surrounded by groups.

At this time, Ye Chen had already retreated to the side with a thousand of his own soldiers.Those in charge of besieging and killing Pan Mei were the two thousand cloud cavalry who had just defected and the cavalry led by Cao Wei, Wang Tong and others.

Seeing that all the infantry outside had surrendered, the desperate cavalry around Pan Mei immediately jumped down and knelt down.After ten breaths, there were only more than 100 soldiers led by Pan Mei who would not surrender to the death and stubbornly resisted.Screaming and roaring in desperation, he fought one after another, never surrendering or collapsing.A military battalion commander next to Pan Mei shouted, "I would rather die in battle! Repay the general!"

Desperate cries resounded throughout the audience, and Ye Chen and the others thought that Pan Mei deserved to be a famous general of the Song Dynasty. Under such circumstances, there were still people who died for him.

You know, who doesn't cherish life, who doesn't fear death?When a person or even a group of people can really reach the point of "sacrificing one's life for righteousness" as Mencius said, then he must be sincere!
After more than ten breaths, the people around Pan Mei were all dead. Pan Mei let out a sad smile and said, "Ye Chen! No matter who is the emperor in Song Dynasty, one day, all of you will be wiped out."

Ye Chen's face changed slightly when he heard the words, and at the same time, as soon as Pan Mei finished speaking, she wiped the saber in her hand towards her neck.
