The officers and soldiers in the north did not expect that Xu Huaiqing would launch an attack in the dark, and they were obviously unprepared. In their view, Wang Xianjun's two most powerful weapons, firearms and bows, would be greatly reduced in the dark, so they wanted to try their luck in the dark. But little did they know that 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 a drop in the bucket and not enough to rely on! More importantly, if Xu Huaiqing wants to hold off Yang Rong tonight, how can he do it without giving the officers and soldiers a head-on attack? ! "Kill!" Five thousand cavalrymen rushed out of the darkness, like hungry wolves, madly rushing into the enemy formation holding torches! The torches of the officers and soldiers could only illuminate a few feet in the distance. Then they saw clearly that the enemy was coming towards them. They hurriedly raised their weapons to resist, but they could not defeat the enemy with the powerful force of the sword. The officers and soldiers walking at the forefront screamed as their weapons were chopped off and chopped into two halves! In the dark night, you couldn't see the blood or stumps flying around, you could only hear the screams all over the mountains and plains, the crisp sound of weapons striking each other, the thumping sound of flesh and blood being split apart It was also terrifying! Before the officers and soldiers in the back row could react, the comrades in the front had already been beheaded! Only then did they see that the enemy troops had already rushed in front of them. They didn't even have time to lift their weapons before they were completely 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 in front of him was gone. Break out of the formation! Xu Huaiqing laughed loudly, took off the long bow from his back, picked up a special long arrow in the arrow pot, and shot it toward the northwest! With its sharp whistling sound, Mingdi pierced the blood-filled night sky, guiding the soldiers to gallop towards the northwest! . A few miles outside Tongzhou City is Yang Rong¡¯s Chinese flag. Xu Huaiqing's prediction was correct. Yang Rong did not dare to leave Tongzhou too far. If it was not dark and the city gates had to be closed, and it was inconvenient to command the outer areas of the city to suppress, he would not even leave Tongzhou City. Even at this time, Yang Rong still couldn't give up the idea of ??returning to the city. He was really conflicted. On the one hand, Tongzhou could not afford to lose anything. On the other hand, Xu Huaiqing must be eliminated as soon as possible. Open the road to transport grain and transport Tongzhou's grain and grass supplies back to the capital as soon as possible! Yang Rong couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds. He could only leave the city to command and at the same time keep vigilance against Tongzhou City. It wasn't until he learned that Xu Huaiqing was cruising around Yongtong Bridge that Yang Rong finally calmed down. It couldn't be better to be able to direct the battle without having to stray too far from the city. Who would have expected that not long after the encirclement was ordered, news came that Xu Huaiqing had defeated the army in the north and broke out of the formation! Yang Rong was furious and asked Qianhu who came to report the news: "Don't you understand my order? You must act in unison and respond to each other to avoid giving the enemy an opportunity!" "This" Qianhu said to me in his heart He's just an errand boy. What's the use of yelling at me? "A bunch of trash!" Yang Rong stomped his feet angrily. Wang Xianjun had already broken out of the formation. What was the use of the encirclement he had painstakingly formed? ! ??????????? In fact, Scholar Yang is also angry at the book business. After all, he is a civil servant. He doesn¡¯t know that planning in advance is one thing, but actually leading troops to fight is another. If you can guarantee that 70% to 80% of the time, you won't go out of your way, that's the limit! Therefore, the general must not plan too much and leave enough room for error. It is simply impossible for him to be so precise that every army must be in unison and appear in the corresponding position exactly. Arrived. Yang Rong thought that Xu Huaiqing had broken through, and was feeling depressed there when he suddenly heard a report from the scouts: "The enemy army turned back again and launched another attack on the North Route Army. The North Route Army was completely defeated!" Yang Rongwen He heard the news, but instead of being surprised, he slapped his thigh and said, "Okay! If there is a road to heaven, he will not take it, and if there is no door to hell, he will throw himself into it!" In Yang Xueshi's view, Wang Xianjun did not take the opportunity to escape, which was because he underestimated the performance of the army. ! In this case, there¡¯s no need to leave! Yang Rong immediately ordered all armies to change their marching routes and quickly formed a situation to encircle and block Wang Xian's army in the north! In the dark night, it was impossible to see the battle situation in the distance. We could only listen to the constant reports from the scouts: "Report! The enemy has defeated the North Route Army and penetrated directly into the flank of the Northwest Army!" "Report! The formation of the Northwest Route Army was penetrated horizontally. Deputy Chen The commander is dead! "Report! The West Route Army was not attacked. The enemy turned back to the north and attacked the Northeast Route Army." The commander was killed, and the enemy troops took the road away! "Report! The enemy troops ambushed the South Route Army heading north and drove them down the Yongtong River. The ice surface of the Yongtong River was broken, and those who drowned were not counted.Number! " "Report! The East Route Army was attacked" "Report! The West Route Army was attacked" "Report! Southwest Army" Within two hours, nearly 80,000 officers and soldiers divided into eight groups were attacked by Xu Huaiqing more than a dozen times, but they did not win a single victory! More than ten officers and generals above were killed. , there are countless ordinary soldiers, and it is impossible to count them in the dark! "Then Xu Huaiqing leads heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals? ! "Yang Rong was completely crazy. He took off his official hat and threw it on the ground. He untied his obstructive belt, held it in his hand and waved it in the air, baring his teeth and claws. How could he still have the style of an old man? "The night was given to Xu Huaiqing. As the best cover, we divided our troops into multiple groups so that he could defeat them one by one. "The generals on the side hurriedly explained: "But don't worry, Mr. Ge, after all, he only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, and they should have been destroyed by now" But he felt very relieved in his heart, secretly thinking, you finally understand. , Why can Xu Huaiqing hold the grain transport army on the road with just 5,000 troops? Why can Li Xian be forced back to the city? It's not that we don't work hard, it's because the enemy is too cruel! The frustration was not due to Xu Huaiqing's inhuman fighting ability, but because he had made a fatal mistake! Before, Yang Rong thought that Xu Huaiqing would definitely escape when surrounded by the army, so he set up such a dragnet. Now he finally understood. , Xu Huaiqing has no intention of escaping, and they don't even pay attention to his dragnet! They want to fight him with a mere five thousand troops! At this moment, Xueshi Yang can no longer care about Tongzhou or the overall situation. There is only one thought left in my mind, that is, I must kill Xu Huaiqing and his subordinates to relieve the great hatred in my heart! If he loses such a disparity in strength, not only will he become the laughing stock of the world, but also the civilian officials will be permanently isolated from the military power. Except! This is absolutely unacceptable to Yang Rong! Even though the saint's teachings were in mind, Yang Rong was still burned by the boundless fire and lost his mind. He finally mounted his horse and led the 10,000 cavalry to supervise the battle. He did not believe that nearly nine Tens of thousands of troops could not defeat Xu Huaiqing's mere 5,000 troops. Under Yang Rong's drive, the army finally formed his ideal lotus formation. When every position was attacked, reinforcements would immediately come from all directions. Worried about being left alone and being ravaged by Xu Huaiqing! But, the cost of forming this formation is too high But in any case, having more soldiers is the last word, and the officers and soldiers began to shrink their formations. As their formations became closer and closer, There are fewer and fewer opportunities for Xu Huaiqing I don¡¯t know how many times I have beaten the enemy into a sieve. I don¡¯t know how many times Xu Huaiqing shot the Ming Dy. He saw fewer and fewer soldiers gathered around him. Looking at it, even the most optimistic estimate is already less than 3,000. Although there is the cover of night, and although the enemy divides his forces and seizes the road, giving him every opportunity to defeat him, such a lifeless charge will have to pay a price. Yes! After more than a dozen attacks, half of the soldiers had died heroically, and the remaining half of the troops were also injured. Not only were the soldiers bleeding, but the horses were also scarred, snorting with difficulty, and had reached the point of exhaustion of energy. On the edge But everyone's faces were full of pride. Although they couldn't see the scene of enemy corpses littering the fields and wolves running about, they all knew very well that this battle was enough to leave their names in history. We can stand shoulder to shoulder with any legend! ¡°The enemy¡¯s formation is getting tighter and tighter, and we no longer have the ability to break through. "Xu Huaiqing was hit by a knife in his right arm, revealing the stark white bones. He could only carry the Xuanhua ax in his left arm, but he still smiled proudly at his sons and sons: "But who cares, we just fucking I didn¡¯t expect to get out alive! " "right! "The soldiers were obviously exhausted and dying, but after listening to Xu Huaiqing's words, they felt that the blood in their whole bodies was burning, and their strength returned to their bodies. "Now we have only one last goal left, which is to hold on until dawn! "Xu Huaiqing said proudly: "When daybreak, our mission will be completed! If the lucky one is still alive at that time, he can just run for his life" He paused and said, "However, I guess he won't be able to escape. "The soldiers laughed loudly, and followed Xu Huaiqing to launch another attack! As the vanguard of Wang Xian's army to pave the way, their dictionary only has attack, attack, and attack again! Even in this long and cold winter night, even if it is Deeply surrounded by layers of enemy troops, even if there is no hope of survival, they still insist on their creed, even if they die, they will die on the way to attack! The enemy's formation has become more and more dense, and countless spears have formed special 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 theyJust follow your general and fight your way in and out of the enemy formation! It doesn¡¯t matter if the war horse is stabbed to death by the enemy¡¯s spear, they can still dismount and fight on foot! It doesn't matter if the weapon in your hand is knocked away, you can still punch and kick him! It doesn't matter if your arms and legs are cut off, you can still bite them with your teeth and hit them with your head! Even if you cut off their heads, you will still spray the enemy's face with blood! The officers and soldiers were completely frightened. What kind of lunatics are these? ! What supports their relentless and crazy fighting? ! The officers and soldiers completely understood. No wonder they could sweep across the grassland and kill the arrogant Tatars and Duoyan! It turned out that it was not what the court publicized at all, and there was no chance at all! The officers and soldiers were completely confused. What was the reason why they had to fight to the death with these national heroes? Could it be that Wang Xian, whom these people swore to follow to the death, was really a treacherous and evil thief as the court claimed? ! (To be continued.)
