Chastity Layman

  Chapter 603 Death

  The Tuyuhun army attacked like a tide.

  Under the big banner with the word Qin, the one wearing the golden helmet and armor is Qin Lang's family general Zhang Chao. Since he is about the same age and figure as Qin Lang, he simply asked him to put on Qin Lang's armor to pretend.

  At this time, General Huo Guogong Chai Shao is actually in command of the entire army. Although Liang Jianfang, the envoy of Zhenxi Army, is the general of the Right Army, but his qualifications and rank are low, naturally Chai Shao has the final say. What's more, Qin Lang did personally confess that Chai Shao would lead the left and right armies.

  The three generals Murongshun, Yifu Abao, and Xifeng Cunyi represent the vassals of the two armies.

   Chai Shao was in command of the central army, but he called these generals to the central army, and did not let them lead the headquarters in person, but let the battalion officers below lead them.

   "Everyone guards the headquarters, and shoots the ground. Whoever dares to fight without authorization, beheaded!"

   Chai Shao said very bluntly.

  Liang Jianfang laughed a little uncomfortably, thinking that Chai Shao's words were meant for himself.

   "Whoever loses the army formation, beheaded!"

Ah Bao's descendants had different expressions at this time, and they couldn't guess what was going on in their hearts, but it must be very complicated, and Murong Shun, the eldest prince of Tuyuhun, saw the sweat flag of his father Fuyun Khan on the opposite side. , and brother Zun Wang Murong Cheng personally led the cavalry to kill him, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

   Although the Tang army was full of banners and flags, he knew very well that there were only more than 20,000 horses here. Playing more flags and bluffing could not conceal the fact that they really only had more than 20,000 horses. Only the former armies of the left and right armies gather here, and most of the two armies are still on the way.

  Especially the Longyou Army, the most elite of the two armies, with a total of only two thousand.

  The most elite central army of the Northern Route Army is not here at this time.

  Facing the overwhelming Tuyuhun army attacking, Murong Shun didn't know whether the ten-mile army formation lined up by Chai Shaoyishan could stop it.

"If you can block it, block it, if you can't block it, block it." Chai Shao seemed to have seen through Murong Shun's thoughts, "General Murong, those people on the opposite side probably want to stretch your tendons and peel your skin, so no matter what, you have to stand up." Stay, otherwise, the end will not be much better than ours."

   Murong Shun sweated on his forehead, "It must be."

Chai Shao turned his head to talk to Liang Jianfang again, but he wanted to draw the two thousand cavalry elites from the left and right armies to Liang Jianfang's command and let him take command, and also told him to take the two thousand cavalry to the forest behind rest.

   "As the general garrison, you must not move lightly until the most critical time, and wait for my order."

   "Duke Huo, the brothers in Longyou are not afraid of death."

   "No one said that you are afraid of death, but good steel must be used on the blade, and the elite of the elite must be used at the most critical time, not for consumption."

   These words not only praised the elite of the Longyou army, but also belittled those soldiers who belonged to the alliance and subordinated in disguise, and even mercilessly stated that they were wasted.

   Ah Bao blushed, but finally closed his mouth tightly.

   "General A Bao has something to say?"

  Abao said slowly, "The sons of our Yifu tribe are all warriors."

   "I think so too, so the right wing will be handed over to your Yifu Department, the left wing will be handed over to General Murong, and my central army will be guarded by General Xifeng. As for General Liang, it will be the rear army temporarily."

  The second prince, Murong Cheng, was the first to kill, and he chose to go straight to the Chinese army.

  Perhaps it was because he saw his eldest brother Murong Shun under the flag of the commander in chief of the Chinese army, so he became more anxious and eager.

   Its offensive is like fire.

  The central army is composed of Qiang soldiers from the various tribes of the party. These people used to be vassals of Tuyuhun. When facing the Tuyuhun people in the past, they always felt inferior.

  Many Dangxiang Qiang soldiers had received the military order early, so they got off their horses as soon as possible, picked up their knives and axes to dig the ground, each dug a section of trenches, and then connected them to form a trench.

  There are trees behind, so it is convenient to cut down some trees, use local materials, and rough process them into fences and fences.

  The Qiang people had never done this kind of thing in wars before, but after marching with Qin Lang for a while, they got used to digging trenches and erecting fences when stationed in the camp, and they were quite skilled in their movements.

  Although the time was short, these fortifications were a bit simple, but in conjunction with their location on the hillside, they also happened to be condescending, adding a lot of defense out of thin air.

   Many sharpshooters were simply sent to the trees, which not only concealed, but also increased the range of vision.

  Xifeng Cunyi, the general manager, was not around, so several thousand commanders were in charge, all of whom belonged to several major ministries of the party.

   "The bandits have already been killed, why didn't the chief executive Xifeng come back?"

   Several senior officials asked the captain of Xifeng Cunyi who came over.

   "The general manager has an order. Soldiers come to block, water comes to flood the earth, stick to the army formation, don't retreat, don't attack without authorization, those who disobey the order will be executed without mercy!"

   Several commanders looked at each other in blank dismay, "Is this asking us to fight dumb?"

"It doesn't matter if you stay or not, and it's not impossible to defend and defeat." Another commander said, there are so many people on the opposite side, and if they really want to rush to the field cavalry duel like this, they have no idea. Now they are guarding the hillside like this. Defense, I think it's okay.

   "Let's fight first. Didn't Shuai Qin lead the Longyou Army to divide his troops? Maybe it's near here, and he can come out at any time."

  When Qin Lang left, he didn't say where he was going, and only a few high-ranking generals really knew where he was going. Most people thought that Qin Lang and his elite team were still lurking nearby, so they felt confident.

  The Tuyuhun cavalry rushed down the mountain, and the offensive stalled.

  The hillside is full of rocks, and there are many bushes and weeds. It is difficult for horses to rush, and the defenders on the mountain also started to shoot arrows at this time. The condescending random arrows are very lethal.

  Murong Cheng jumped off his horse, holding a shield in his hand, holding a saber in one hand, roaring again and again, commanding the knight to dismount and charge towards the mountain.

  The soldiers of Tuyuhun were extremely sharp and mighty, and they wanted to break through the defense line in one go and kill the Tang army.

  Chai Shao is under the banner, so he can see clearly.

   "This is your brother?"

   "Well, half-brother, not to mention feelings, in fact, he has always hated me for not dying." Murong Shun obviously has no affection for this brother.

   "Your brother is fiercer than you, but he is obviously brave and without strategy. Doesn't he know the art of war, don't go to the high hills, don't turn against the hills?"

   Any general with some experience knows the importance of the right time and place. The enemy occupying the high ground with their backs to the hills is occupying a favorable terrain. At this time, it is not conducive to a strong attack. In such a situation, although it is a field battle, in fact one side is like defending a city.

  Chai Shao is an experienced general, so when Qin Lang discussed with him, he proposed to fight here, and he saw Qin Lang's thoughts at a glance, and he agreed with him very much.

"In any battle, try to look for the high ground with the back against the wind, the high ground on the right, and the dangerous terrain on the left. When encountering swampy areas and collapsed areas, you must quickly pass through them. For camping, choose a terrain that is dangerous on all sides and slightly higher in the middle. We Now based on this place, there are cliffs and high mountains to the east, dangerous mountains and the Yellow River to the east, and dangerous peaks behind, there is only one trail, and there is a wild horse river to the north, so we are in an invincible position."

  Murong Cheng's attacking forcefully and forcefully, obviously violated the taboo of military strategists.

  A Bao said coldly, "General Chai's words are certainly reasonable, but if we can't stand the master, if we can't stand it, it will be useless. Murong Shun took advantage of the situation and came in full force."

   "Then he won't be able to kill him." Chai Shao was confident.

   "Xi Feng Cunyi is not a great general, and the party Xiang Qiang under him may not be credible."

  Chai Shao smiled, "Don't worry, they can still keep watch for a while."

   "No need for reinforcements? In case of being killed, the Chinese army's big flag will fall, and the whole army will inevitably collapse." Ah Bao reminded.

   "It's all about defending your own formation. It's really not possible. Don't you have two thousand elite cavalry from Liang Junshi for reinforcements?"

  Under the banner of Tuyuhun Khan on the opposite side.

   Fu Yun watched the battle for a long time, and saw that although his son was brave, he led tens of thousands of horses to the Chinese army, but he didn't break his mouth, and instead suffered a lot of casualties.

   "The frontline defense of the Chinese army is obviously a group of party Xiangqiang, but they are so willing to fight to the death for the Tang people."

   Fu Yun was surprised. He beckoned two famous kings, "You each lead 30,000 troops to attack the left and right wings. If you don't hear the sound of gold, you can't stop the war."

  The army formation of the Tang Army was lined up along the mountain for about 20 miles, and it completely occupied the northern foot of Yematan, facing the cliff facing the Yellow River on one side and the forest under the high mountain to the west on the other.

   Trending from southwest to northeast.

   The army formation lined up in a line was divided into about fifteen formations. Fu Yun looked at it for a long time, and could see that there were seven formations on the left and right wings, and one formation under the commander of the Chinese army.

  Large formations and small formations are chained together, seemingly independent, yet closely connected.

  Based on the advantage of the terrain, it is very easy to defend. At least Murong Cheng attacked the central army. The soldiers on the left and right wings didn't move at all.

   Fu Yun knew that it was impossible to rush into chaos.

   Only the whole army presses up and fights hard.

   Fu Yun is not afraid of fighting such a tough decisive battle. He has a large number of people now, and the Tang army has penetrated behind the enemy's rear for a long time, and it has long been exhausted.

  Amidst the humming of the horn, Fu Yun threw out 90,000 of the 100,000 horses in his hand at once, leaving only 10,000 under the commander's flag, ready to call.

  Murong Cheng's troops, who had already been blocked from the offensive, could not help but cheer up and attack bravely again.

  The 30,000 troops on each side also deployed together.

   On the entire 20-mile-long front, hundreds of thousands of people were killed in a group.

The 30,000 Tuyuhun and Dangxiangxie Congjun troops of the 2,000 Longyou Tang Army fought together with the 90,000 Tuyuhun army. With high slopes, trenches, horse rejection, fences, sheep and horse walls, and even woods, less than 30,000 The soldiers and horses formed fifteen army formations, resisting the attack desperately.

  Arrows flew horizontally, people called horses neighing, and countless soldiers fell down every moment.

  The Tuyuhun army was attacking fiercely. The Tang army was lucky to have a favorable location. The Tuyuhun army could only dismount and fight on their backs.

  Chai Shao sat under the banner, "Bring me a pipa, I'll play a song to cheer for the soldiers!"

  Holding the pipa, Chai Shao really closed his eyes, sat on the mat and played the pipa.

  A song of the King of Qin breaking the formation, the sound is passionate.
