Chapter 719
: This battle is about to be a decisive battle
The battalions and regiments were pulled out and formed on the plain. Huge and neat steel square formations were formed in an instant, covering the entire Black Stone Beach Plain. The Wei army commanders galloped on horseback between the various square formations, shouting, "Prepare!" The Wei army infantry raised their spears in unison, and a cold flash of steel was shining above the square formation.
The four generals Wang Bodang, Meng Haigong, Xu Yuanlang and Xie Yingdeng each led a cavalry and commanded the cavalry to board the horses. On both wings, as reserves for counterattacks, rows of high-rise spears and swords were as bright as snow, like a dazzling belt of light, and dust fell on the cavalry's helmets and a shallow piece of land accumulated on their shoulders.
The sound of hooves like thunder came, and the earth was shaking slightly. The black cavalry group was approaching quickly, like waves, like tsunamis, and the outline of the clouds and fog became clearer and clearer. The black formation, with long swords and guns, and the dust splashed by thousands of horse hooves, was flying all over the sky, and the power was as if the whole army was stepping on a cloud and flying on the ground! Just like the legendary demons appearing in hell, driving the clouds and swallowing all the people and things that dared to block its way!
"Put your foot firmly!" Liu Heita, the former infantry general, roared, and the messenger rushed over and shouted: "First row, squat down!" The soldiers put the pole of the spear on the ground, pointed the tip of the spear, and bent down to meet the enemy. The officers shouted and shouted in the ears: "If you don't want to die, be cheer up. If you don't want to die, you will be promoted and make a fortune today!"
"First your position!" The messenger ordered again. The soldiers who obeyed the orders even more firmly nailed their feet to the ground, holding the spear tightly, and everyone's hearts were pounding. After fighting with the Jianghuai sling soldiers for more than ten days, the Wei army basically learned the dense infantry formation of the Jianghuai sling soldiers. Although the Wei army did not have the more than two feet long spears of the Jianghuai sling soldiers, nor their iron shields and double armor. However, countless dense spears stood in front and formed an extremely ferocious spear formation.
Facing the cavalry group rushing straight towards, the front row of soldiers' teeth made a "clog" sound, and their faces turned pale. Behind the square formation, the supervision team composed of Li Mi's personal guards was already carrying a horizontal knife and pulling a bow and arrow into a row, and the shiny arrows pointed at the back of the soldiers in front.
The cavalry group was approaching at an incredible high speed! Every blink of an eye, it was closer! You could see the cloud-like flags, the dense swords and guns, the hideous faces of the cavalry, the white air spurted out from the nostrils of the horse, the soldiers galloped forward like a storm, and as fierce as a storm, they rushed in with dense formations, and thousands of surging!
The wind blew away a piece of smoke and dust, and the Wei soldiers' eyes became clearer. Suddenly, a terrifying voice shouted in the square formation: "Oh my God! That's not the Jianghuai Army! That's the Hebei Army!" All the square formations in the front row suddenly appeared in chaos, and the soldiers shouted regardless of military discipline: "It's the Hebei Army! The Hebei Army is here!" "Oh my God, run away quickly, we will die!" One soldier after another shouted with trembling voices, and even several people ran out of the queue. The officers in the front row shouted and stopped them: "Don't run! Whoever runs will kill anyone!" "Stop! Stop me!"
"Kill!" The expressionless officer waved his hand, and the supervising guards began to shoot arrows. The escaped soldiers were all shot and screamed and fell down. However, more and more soldiers screamed in front of the army, and the morale of the army became increasingly unstable!
The former general Li Junxian rode on the horse and shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid! This is disguised by the Jianghuai Army! Don't be afraid, go back to the queue!..."
A huge shout suddenly broke into the sky, drowning his words, "Long live Pojun". The Hebei light cavalry roared wildly, "Glory belongs to us" is undoubtedly the battle call for the most elite army under Chen Pojun!
The earth is collapsing and the sky is collapsing!
There was a legend about Chen Pojun and his Liaodong Army, Hebei Army, and Central Plains. For them, the Wei soldiers had a deepest fear from the heart! They will never forget that a few years ago, they flattened Goguryeo in Liaodong and defeated the strong army in the northeast. The first three thousand people's Pojun camp finally swept across the entire Liaodong, and they would have hundreds of thousands of troops and countless mountain castles fortresses and fortresses, completely destroying the country and destroying the nation. According to legend, in the battle of Liaohe that year, Chen Pojun and his Liaodong army massacred nearly one million Goguryeo coalition forces. The entire Liaohe River was blocked by the corpses of the coalition forces. Liaodong dyed blood red into a red river, and it took more than half a year to turn back to its color. According to legend, since then, all the fish in the Liaohe River have red eyes, red like blood.
Millions of Goguryeo people have completely destroyed their clans since then.
Chen Pojun, the legendary god reincarnation. Hebei Army, the legendary gods and ghosts cavalry, they can spit fire and eat people. Even the legendary legend not only can control the sky fire and thunder, but also has an evil ghost cavalry from hell, and they are invincible in the night battle.
This fear that comes from the most fearful heart reached a higher peak after the Wei army lost consecutive battles in Luokou, especially the Hebei army occupied six counties including Xingyang in just a few days and captured more than 200,000 troops.
The defeat in the melee with the Jianghuai Army only made the Wei army a little frustrated, but the Hebei Army's fierce record made this army, which had been defeated repeatedly and had a shadow in his heart, completely panicked. They did not expect that there were only more than 10,000 Hebei cavalry in front of them. What they thought was that the 100,000 Jianghuai Army who defeated them not far behind was rumored to sweep away the Mid-Autumn Festival wind and sweep the fallen leaves across the six counties including Xingyang, and captured the Hebei Army of Wei's more than 200,000 troops.
Many infantry phalanxes collapsed under the impact of Hebei cavalry. The soldiers ignored the orders and rushed to throw away their weapons and turned around to escape. The scattered soldiers were like water that opened the gate, like rivers and waves. The crowds of people rushed down, and suddenly destroyed the supervision team behind them. There was a hustle and bustle everywhere: "Escape! Escape!" "I'm dead!" People fled in all directions, stepping on each other, squeezing, rushing, and slamming, and the white weapons were thrown all over the ground, and discarded flags were everywhere. In an instant, the front army array disappeared and no longer existed.
Li Mi held the sword with the blood of deserters in his hand and stopped his useless shouting. At this time, there was no power to save the army's defeat. He quietly watched his 60,000 army in front of him running on the entire plain, watched group of defeated soldiers running past him, watched the Hebei cavalry laughing loudly behind them, and drove away wantonly, and saw the Wei army flags all over the ground being trampled.
It’s a shame. Before the confrontation has occurred, the 60,000 troops will collapse without fighting! In comparison, what is Luokoutan?
His disciple and confidant general Wang Bodang ran over panting: "King, the Hebei cavalry has come here, let's retreat quickly!" Li Mi turned his head and looked at him in silence, his eyes separated from the battlefield of killing and headed towards the vast sky.
Wang Bodang thought he didn't hear it and repeated: "King, let's retreat! Stay green mountains there..."
"Blow the horn of the attack and charge, and the whole army attack!" Li Mi's eyes were too long and his face turned pale. He looked down at the letter in his left hand, and there was a rare determination in his eyes. "We have lost again and again, retreat again and again, and we have no way to retreat. This battle is about a decisive battle! We will fight to the death and never retreat!"
Wang Bodang was stunned and looked at Li Mi in confusion, "King of Wei, we are still in desperate situation at this time. We still have 200,000 to 300,000 troops, and we can fight again tomorrow!"
"Send the order to fight to the death and never retreat!"
When the order was conveyed, the whispers rang in the team, and the soldiers whispered together, and everyone was conveying this sentence: "Fight to the death and never retreat!" No one knew why, but at this time, facing the fierce Hebei army, all the Wei army had a desperate desire to die. The Wei army knew very well that fleeing at this time was the target of the massacre of the Hebei light cavalry. It would be better to fight to the death, at least to die more happily.
However, this order seemed to have come a little late. Before the Wei army arranged on the left wing received the order, their phalanx had already flattened the horse hooves of the Hebei cavalry. The defeated left wing soldiers fled in panic. Qin Qiong led the cavalry to pursue the victory, and then rushed with the Central Army phalanx. The battle was very fierce. Qin Qiong and others unexpectedly discovered that the Wei army's central army's resistance was quite tenacious, and the central army did not flee quickly like the front army. The Wei army firmly guarded the position and showed the spirit of being the deputy to compete with the Hebei army.
This surprised Qin Qiong and others. However, although Qin Qiong and others received the order to hold Li Mi, for the fierce generals such as Qin Qiong, the tough battles of head-on battles were not what they feared. With the orders of the three generals Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Luo Shixin, the Hebei Light Cavalry shouted and roared one after another. The Hebei army rushed forward as if they had entered a no-man's land. They strided forward. Although the Wei army was already trying their best to resist, the Wei army, which had lost tens of thousands of consecutive battles and had long lost its vigor, could not stop the attack of the 15,000 elite Hebei Light Cavalry.
The Hebei cavalry laughed wildly, waving new sabers with new equipment and chopping and killing. Their impact arrows had already cut into the middle of the Wei army, and their momentum was like a red knife cutting frozen lard. Under the back and forth of the Hebei cavalry, the Wei army's soldiers fell down one by one, just like the autumn wheat waves were harvested by farmers.
"King!" Liu Heita rushed to Li Mi, "Hebei cavalry is too fierce! Their armor is strong and their weapons are extremely sharp. The brothers in front can't stand it anymore. Please order them to retreat!"
Looking at the noisy and chaotic battlefield, Li Mi shook her head.
"King, this is not a war, this is a suicide!"
"Stand by, our reinforcements are coming, and victory is right in front of us." Li Mi's face was pale, but his voice was surprisingly calm.
The generals looked at each other, and where could there be reinforcements? If they were counting on the 50,000 troops in Yanshi City, even if they received the news from the battlefield, they would not have arrived so quickly. What's more, the Hebei cavalry on the battlefield are just the vanguard of the Hebei Army, and there are 100,000 Jianghuai Army, as well as the Hebei Army led by Chen Pojun and Li Jing.
Before they could see their doubts, a faint black shadow appeared on the northwest horizon, accompanied by a faint low sound like a muffled thunder coming from the horizon. This was the sound of a large horse hoof. The shadow became more and more obvious and was expanding rapidly. It was already obvious that this was a new army participating in the war, with a large number, and they were all high-speed cavalry!
