Fufeng Song

Chapter 33 Battle of Banqiao

The extremely tragic fight to the death was unfolding ahead, but the Jin army's 500 Chinese troops remained motionless.They were located quite far away from Linghu Sheng's troops, with rugged mountains on the right and endless reeds on the left as cover, so they were quite safe.

Liu Kun held the horsewhip with a white jade handle with his slender and strong five fingers, and tapped it on the palm of his left hand; even though the killing sound was loud in front of him, the soothing rhythm of the slap did not change at all.

At this time, many generals under Liu Kun's command were commanding in various armies, and only a few generals who were in charge of leading the soldiers and Zhonglang Xu Run, who was in charge of official affairs in the army, were left beside him.Xu Run is a civil servant, so he doesn't need to go to the battlefield, but he insisted that he should not be afraid of Shishi when he shoulders the responsibility of Pingjing, which is a bit courageous.

But he is only a literati after all, and seeing the bloody fights unfolding in front of his eyes, he panicked for a while: "My lord, who would have expected the barbarians to be so fierce! If you don't send troops to support them, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will make you angry." Old General Fox won't last long!"

"No soldier can move rashly!" Liu Kun shook his head: "Although the recruits in our army have been reorganized for several days, most of them are still unfit for battle, so they must not be thrown into confronting the enemy head-on."

He thought for a while, and then said: "Order the armored cavalry to attack and disperse the enemy in front of you!" He slowed down his tone and said to the orderer: "Just tell Ding Wenhao and others that I have time today, and I will sit and watch the demonstration Bravery!"

Several messengers clapped their horses out of the formation and hurried to the armored cavalry on the far right side of the armored army formation.

"The lord ordered the armored cavalry to attack and scatter the enemies in front of us! The lord said: 'I have time today, and I will sit and watch the lords demonstrate their martial prowess!'" The messenger rushed to them and shouted loudly.

"It's time for me to kill it!" Ding Miao was overjoyed, and immediately led the armored cavalry to set off.

150 cavalry marched out, and wherever they went, all the barbarians backed away in horror, forming formations one after another.

But Ding Miao was not in a hurry to fight, and led the crowd to run half a circle around the enemy Youzai who was attacking the Jin army's infantry.

There were a lot of Hu people in this group, and they were all extremely brave. If it wasn't for this, Shicai wouldn't have put so much pressure on Linghu Sheng.But after all, they are just a mob assembled temporarily, with different orders, and lack of discipline and tenacity.When Jia rode on their flanks and looked at the tiger from behind, some of the chiefs and adults in charge of commanding the army wanted to continue the onslaught, and some wanted to stabilize the rear.

Linghu Sheng, who was fighting fiercely on the other side, was an experienced veteran, and he immediately felt this.He immediately shouted to command a counterattack, and even sent all the soldiers on hand. The Jin army's infantry line, which had been struggling to maintain, gradually stabilized its position, and even had the momentum to counterattack.

The armored cavalry hadn't really entered the battle yet, and just patrolling the field for half a turn had already caused subtle changes in the battlefield situation.Satisfied, Ding Miao stared at Lu Yao who was bridle and immediately behind him: "How is it?"

The rest of the Bingzhou Army had been under Yue Shigong's command for only a few days, and it was clear that they had not achieved an inch of merit, and they were able to be included in the armored cavalry that gathered the elite of the entire army.Although a hero like Ding Miao is not a person who is jealous of the virtuous and capable, he has his own reserve and will never accept it casually.Of course, Lu Yao understood this in his heart.Hearing Ding Miao's question, he just nodded indifferently: "Sure enough!"

"Then what should General Lu do next?" Ding Miao asked in a quizzical tone.

"Although the enemy's army is chaotic, we are outnumbered. We must not underestimate the enemy, let alone entangle him." Lu Yao raised the spear in his hand, and drew an arc with the tip of the spear towards the enemy line: "In my opinion, let's do this Enter everywhere, strive to penetrate the enemy's formation, and kill there."

Ding Miao's eyes lit up.The tip of Lu Yao's gun pointed at a gap between soldiers from different tribes of the enemy army.It must be known that the barbarians are vulgar, and when they start a battle, they swarm together like a swarm of bees. Soldiers of all ethnic groups are all in a mess, but people have nowhere to start.But at this moment, the two chiefs had different opinions, and the soldiers subconsciously moved closer to the clan lord, which exposed a tiny gap in the originally tight army formation.This is indeed the most exploitable flaw at present, exactly as Ding Miao thought.

"Heroes really see the same thing!" Ding Miao laughed and shouted, "Brothers, come with me!"

Although the armor cavalry's attack this time did not have the effect of surprising the enemy, it only became more powerful.Six hundred iron hooves trampled on the ground, roaring like thunder!

On the gentle slope on the other side of the battle line, Liu Jing stared at the dusty front of the battle, clenched his teeth, and his face was extremely ugly.After successfully mobilizing the morale of the entire army, he, as the commander, of course didn't need to take the lead in charging, but only led the cavalry to move forward a little by a hundred steps, and then stopped here.The more than a thousand Hun cavalry surrounding him listened to the roar of killing ahead, and were eagerly waiting for the next order, but Liu Jing did not issue the order for a long time, but the corners of his eyes twitched occasionally. Down.

Miscellaneous beards such as Xiren and Jieren have been afraid of the prestige of the Huns since ancient times, and they are obedient and easy to drive.This doomed them to be treated as consumables by Liu Jing.Liu Jing intends to use the advantage of the number of miscellaneous Hu infantry to overwhelm the enemy's infantry, and then use the Xiongnu cavalry's good shooting expertise and mobility to defeat the enemy's heavy cavalry.However, this Jin army once again surprised him greatly. The miscellaneous Hu infantry with a number of more than [-] had several times the strength advantage, and they couldn't gain the upper hand for a while!

In addition to the heavy cavalry equipped with armored cavalry, this Jin army also has crossbowmen who use the divine crossbow, and well-trained spear infantry; this is only a part of the force.Relying on this "partial strength", the Jin army has easily killed the nephew he relied on deeply, wiped out [-] elite Qingqi, and even faced the impact of [-] Hu warriors head-on without falling behind... ...and the Chinese army brigade of the Jin people has not moved at all!Liu Jing thought over and over again, and Hun Wei felt that he was already sweating profusely.

Liu Jing has been on the battlefield for many years, and he is a famous and brave general; he also has great confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Xubu tribe's cavalry.If he personally led the troops into the battlefield at this moment, he might not be able to break the deadlock.But if the direct descendants of these tribes suffered another loss, why would he gain a foothold among the Hun chieftains and nobles with their own strengths in the future?

Compared with this, it has become the best choice to withdraw in time.Most of the tribe's strength is still there, and what is lost is just some worthless miscellaneous.As long as I go back to Jinyang and guard against the strong city, those Jin people who want to come can't help themselves...

Liu Jing was always moody, now his nephew was not in the battle and the battle was stalemate, no one dared to say anything for a while.Until a general couldn't bear it anymore, he drove his horse close to Liu Jing and asked, "General..." Before he finished speaking, Liu Jing swung him off his horse with a whip.The whip was so hard that it almost pulled out the general's eyeballs.The general screamed again and again, struggling for his life underground, but no one around him dared to support him.

At the moment when the left and right were silent, the sound of iron hoofs breaking the ground was suddenly heard, and the heavy cavalry of the Jin army in armored riding gear went into battle again, from right to left, horizontally crashed into the formation of miscellaneous infantry.

If the two armies are confronting head-on, the infantry only needs to form a formation to face the enemy, and the enemy cavalry may not necessarily be at a disadvantage.Moreover, no matter how elite the armored cavalry is, falling into the siege of a large number of infantry will only lead to death.However, at this moment, the soldiers are fighting to the death with the spearmen of the Jin army in front, and there is almost no cover on the flanks!

The sonorous iron horse roared into the formation, like a thousand-weight iron pillar bombarding a rotten tree, destroying everything it went.Under the attack of iron cavalry like wolves and tigers, the light infantry who didn't even have leather armor had no ability to resist at all, and the formation of thousands of people was forced out of a bloody path by the cavalry.

For a while, the Huns were in decline.Many Hun generals surrounded by Liu Jing were all shocked, but Liu Jing moved his face with joy and shouted: "Soldiers, our chance has come! Everyone is ready to fight!"

The generals near him looked at each other in blank dismay.The battle situation ahead is unfavorable, as long as those who are not blind can see clearly, General He is so happy?Could it be that he was heartbroken for the loss of the former army, so he lost his mind and went crazy?Everyone conveyed their opinions to each other with their eyes, but thinking of the fate of the previous person who asked, no one dared to tease Liu Jing's beard again.

They dare not speak, but Liu Jing wants to talk to them.He suddenly pointed at a general and said, "Wuhe, tell me, how is the battle going?"

The general who called Wuhe was a brave warrior deeply trusted by Liu Jing, but his fear of Liu Jing was no less than that of others.Hearing Liu Jing's question, cold sweat broke out on his back immediately. He had no choice but to bow his head and said, "The fighting ahead is fierce...the cavalry of the Jin army are fierce, but we have a large number of people. As long as we fight to the death, there will always be them." When it's exhausted." The ambiguity of these words was entirely to deal with Liu Jing.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jing laughed loudly: "Wuhe is right! Look!"

He pointed at the battlefield with his whip and said loudly: "Although the iron cavalry of the Jin army are fierce, they are too few in number. Once they penetrate into our formation, the cavalry's speed will not be able to display."

Everyone followed his whip to see, and it was exactly as Liu Jing said.Those Hu soldiers fought with Linghu Sheng's spearmen for a long time, and their morale gradually declined.But the assault of the cavalry of the Jin army, on the contrary, aroused the fierce blood in their bones.

They have lived on the grasslands for hundreds of years, living a life no different from livestock; it was not until these years that they were recruited by the Huns and came to the colorful world of the Han people.They kill, plunder, and humiliate women, they do everything.What should be enjoyed has been enjoyed to the fullest, now is the time to repay the great Chanyu's grace with blood and life!The mixed-hued soldiers roared loudly.They rushed forward one after another, using their flesh and blood to stop the galloping horses, entangled with the Jin army desperately.

A Jin army armored cavalry slashed with a knife, and cut the Jie man blocking the way in two from shoulder to waist.The blood splashed out together with the internal organs and bones, and the blood mist covered Zhang Xu in front of him.Another Jie man took this opportunity to pounce on him, grabbed the armor of the Jin army, and dragged him off his horse.The knights of the Jin army did not panic after landing, and the No. 2 Jie people were killed by the horizontal knife.But in the next moment, more warriors with mixed beards rushed forward, stabbed with knives and spears, and immediately chopped up the Jin army knight into a meat paste.

Undoubtedly, every step forward by the cavalry of the Jin army would result in the death of at least ten Zahu warriors. However, under the desperate resistance of the Zahu warriors, their progress gradually slowed down!

Such a situation was indeed as Wu He had judged. Even if the cavalry and spearmen of the Jin army could wipe out all the Hu soldiers, they would inevitably suffer unimaginably serious losses.

"Using iron cavalry to fight against infantry is indeed the correct way of war. But the Jin people have too few iron cavalry! This small number can be used as a surprise soldier, but it cannot be used as a means of decisive victory!" Liu Jing spoke loudly, his face almost showing come light.

After all, he was one of the few generals in the Huns and the Han Dynasty. Although he was illiterate, he did have experience in using troops.Just listen to him continue: "If I, Liu Jing, is the general of the Jin people, I should have dispatched the Chinese army earlier, joined the front army, and rushed through the miscellaneous beards in one go, and then drove the miscellaneous beards back to our central army, and then used the iron cavalry Outflank our flanks... and we'll be in big trouble!"

"But the people of Jin didn't do that! They insisted on throwing their precious armored cavalry into a war of attrition with the miscellaneous soldiers!" Liu Jing shook his fists and palms vigorously, his face a bit ferocious: "What is this?"

His eyes swept over the generals one by one: "What is this?"

"There are only two reasons!" Liu Jing stretched out his stubby fingers and shook: "Either the leader of the Jin people is a cowardly moron...or the troops in the Jin people's central army are all weak soldiers! So Jin The leader of the people put his center in the rear so far from the front lines...he dared not fight at all!"

Liu Jing looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, as if a beast was roaring: "The Jin people can defeat us with the strength of the front line. Their central army hides behind, relying on the cover of the reeds, they can be safe and sound..."

Wu He reacted immediately, he raised his arms and shouted: "General, let's kill him!"

"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!" All the generals roared.

"Wuhe! I'll give you...uh...five hundred elites, can you pass through the reeds over there and kill that high-ranking Jin official?" Liu Jing made some calculations, then asked sharply.

"Of course I can!" Wuhe shouted, "I swear in the name of the great Maodun Shanyu, I will kill all the enemies and wash the flag with blood!"

A moment later, [-] Hun soldiers bypassed the frontal battlefield and drove towards the reed marshes.
