Chapter 943 The Battle of Weishui (3)

The sun gradually reached the middle of the sky, and there were dense Xu army infantry everywhere on both sides of the Wei River. At this time, the subsequent infantry had already built two more floating bridges, and the speed of crossing the river increased a lot.

However, since Yu Wenshi and others had led the cavalry to leave first, only Liang Yuanli was left behind to command the infantry to cross the river, but Liang Yuanli did not command and dispatch at all, allowing each unit to cross the river like a swarm. By noon, in the middle of the night, Xu's army, who had been whispering cold wind by the river for a long time, were hungry and exhausted. Xu's army simply made fires and made food on the spot, half in the north and half in the south, and 15,000 infantry were divided into two parts.

On the banks of Luoshui River not far north of the Wei River, Chen Kefu, who had been lying in the snow and observing Xu Jun, couldn't help but laugh.

The 5,000 most elite cavalry of Xu's army had been north for more than half an hour, and the remaining 15,000 infantry were divided on both sides of the Wei River, with only seven or eight thousand people crossing the river. Moreover, the seven or eight thousand infantry crossing the river did not even have the minimum warning and defense. They stopped in Weibei at random, making fires and making meals on the spot, and were as messy as farmers were rushing to the market.

"Blow the horns, charge, drive Xu Jun all down the Wei River to feed the fish!" Chen Kefu's eyes slowly pulled out his long sword and pointed at Xu Jun in the distance.

"Your Majesty has an order to blow the horns, attack, and charge the whole army!"

"Woo woo woo woo--"

The long sound of horns in the sad calendar alarmed countless birds looking for food in the wilderness. The croaking black jackdaws hovered in the dim sky, over and over again.

As the horn sounded, Ma Ning took the lead in rushing out from the back of the slope with three thousand Xiliang cavalry.

The iron cavalry crisscrossed and the earth shook slightly.

The war horse's iron hooves flew, trampling on countless snow powder, and raising a rushing snow mist.

The battle flag of the front army was flying, and the flag in the hands of the flag officer was leading the army forward, and the black flying eagle seemed to be about to break the flag.

"Enemy attack!"

A scream of sadness sounded from Xu's army, which immediately caused a huge chaos. Xu's soldiers threw down their food and quickly went to get the spear placed in the snow.

Liang Yuanli, who was eating barbecue, was almost choked to death. He turned to the north and saw the black line like a tide coming. He threw the barbecue into the snow and shouted: "Get together!"

"Array!"

"Rise the gun!"

......

These infantry guarding Tongguan were also called elite soldiers. Although they were frightened when attacked, no one fled. Under the order of the officer, they began to quickly gather in formation. Five thousand elite cavalry had left, and at this time they used their stances to fight against the cavalry, only the military formation could defeat the cavalry.

The shield players had already raised huge Wenzhi and hurriedly formed a copper and iron wall. After the shield soldiers, the spear soldiers had already penetrated the spears into the shield formation. On the shield wall, dense tips of the cold spears were stabbed out.

Two hundred steps, one hundred fifty steps, one hundred steps!

As the distance gets closer, the sound of the rushing iron hooves is getting louder and louder.

Xu Jun's soldier's fingers holding the spear were white and his forehead was sweating.

"Shoot!" I heard a loud shout from the opposite side. The next moment, countless arrows had already fallen from the sky with whistling sounds.

Damn it, it's the projectile.

Liang Yuanli cursed hatefully in his heart, and quickly raised his shield to move upwards. The enemy was very cruel. Although the infantry had set up a shield formation outside, the enemy troops shot out shots and shots. This was a fierce move to break the infantry formation. The arrows shot out were not shot in parallel, but fell from the sky. Such shooting would have no effect in the front shield formation. The infantry, who were originally behind the shield formation, could not completely resist.

"Swish swish swish!"

The feather arrows came from the sky, most of them only had a helmet. Or they were wearing two pieces of armor and were immediately shot countless times. Some were shot in the neck, some were shot in the back, and some even had arrows in the feet and knees. In just one round, many died.

It's approaching, the cavalry is approaching.

Fifty steps!

"Jaberlin projection!"

With an order, the fierce Western Liang cavalry immediately took out their traditional tricks and threw the javelin.

The javelins more than three feet long and between the navels, each of these Western Liang cavalry carried five branches before they entered the battle. The javelins were heavy, weighing several pounds each. This was a necessary weapon used by the people of Western Liang to deal with infantry formations.

The javelin projections one by one are more lethal than the previous bow and arrow shooting. The heavy javelin has a huge impact force, and those who are hit will die. Even the huge square shields are nailed tightly, and several javelins are inserted on them, which greatly reduces the shield soldiers' protection.

The infantry formation was no longer tight, revealing a lot of gaps. However, the Xiliang cavalry did not rush in directly. When the mercenary Xiliang cavalry was about to hit the shield formation, they suddenly turned around and the cavalry separated.

While surrounding the infantry formation, they were cavalrying and shooting, maintaining a distance of about fifty steps, but they just didn't get close to the military formation. The spearmen in the infantry formation of Xu's army could not stab the cavalry at all. Although the archers in the formation fired arrows, the moving cavalry was not a good target.

The cavalry ran and shot, and before a pot of bows and arrows shot light, the Chen army infantry behind had already rushed up.

The neat infantry formation came, with shield soldiers holding shields in front, swords and axes behind, spear soldiers next, and archers and crossbow soldiers even more disappointed Xu Jun was that he could see the row of horses behind the infantry from afar.

Rain of arrows.

Crossbow, casting stone.

An attack roared and became increasingly dense.

Xu Jun was beaten to the point of no fight back. The soldiers in the formation kept falling down, and the formation became increasingly sparse. Xu Jun wanted to get involved in the melee, but Chen Jun always kept a certain distance from Xu Jun and was attacking with long-range weapons.

As soon as Xu Jun emerged, he would immediately be attacked by the guerrilla cavalry on both sides. Moreover, Chen Jun's shield formation, swordsman, and spearmen array were really strong. Several Xu Jun formations rushed forward several times, but in the end, countless holes could be stabbed in front of the iron wall.

Fall down, fall down, fall down again.

Xu Jun's array was full of flaws, and the wind was leaking everywhere in the cold wind.

Xu Jun on the south bank of the Wei River was desperately trying to cross the river to reinforce, but there were only three floating bridges, and there were not many of them for a while. With the Chen army's attack speed, Xu Jun who had crossed the river had not fallen.

"Your Majesty, it's almost done, the whole army will attack!" He Ruolong stepped forward and said.

Chen Kefu nodded: "Assault, drive them all down to the Wei River, and those who abandon their weapons and surrender will be spared from death!"

"Dongdongdongdong--"

The rumbling drums were beating, and the melodious trumpets began to sound.

The Chen Jun Panlong Banner, which had been hanging high on the central army, also began to move forward at this time.

The big flag moves forward and the whole army attacks!

"kill!"

Amid the shouts of killing, Chen Jun's iron-clad shield array began to open, and countless Chen Jun soldiers raised their guns to attack. The already damaged Xu Jun array could not stop Chen Jun, who was rushing like a tide, and retreated step by step and fell down.

Just as Xu's army was about to collapse, the shadow of Xu's cavalry appeared in Zhang Yu behind Chen's army.

However, looking at the cavalry lineup of Xu's army, the momentum it had been, it was no longer as popular as before. When he left, he came back, there were only nearly 4,000 cavalry, and he lost almost two hundred horses. Behind them, He Ruolong and He Ruodong brothers were leading their troops to pursue them.

Chen Kefu frowned. Although he had expected that he had never thought of swallowing Yu Wenshi and this soldier. However, he was still a little disappointed to see Yu Wenshi and he had lost more than a thousand cavalry and rushed back so quickly.

Chen Kefu was not sure about luring the enemy into ambush this time. So for the sake of safety, he left a soldier in Fengyi and Linjin. In Chaoban City, he laid three thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry.

On the north bank of the Wei River are six thousand cavalry and six thousand infantry.

"Your Majesty, I will be willing to intercept Yu Wenshi." Chen Lei stepped forward and asked for orders.

Chen Kefu was watching the battlefield. The more than 8,000 Xu army who had crossed the river had been cut off by Ma Ning's three thousand light cavalry and had broken the retreat. Now he was fenced by Chen's infantry and cavalry, and had been driven into the triangle between the Weishui and Luoshui. There was cold rushing river water on both sides, and there was no way to retreat.

At this time, the remaining 6,000 people can be eaten in one bite.

But if you want to swallow Yu Wenshi and the 4,000 cavalry, it is a bit difficult. Maybe both sides cannot swallow it. At this time, the east bank of the floating bridge is still under the hands of Xu Jun, and there are still a steady stream of Xu Jun rushing. This group of Xu Jun still has six or seven thousand people.

After thinking about the whole story, Chen Kefu ordered to seize the time to swallow the infantry that had been surrounded. As for Yu Wenshi, he could intercept some of the troops, and it would not matter if he ran away.

Anyway, it’s best to be surrounded. If he runs away, he has a second solution, which is just right for use.

There were everywhere fighting on the battlefield more than ten miles along the Wei River.

Yu Wenshi was also wary of the trap set up to Saka City before. He found that he retreated quickly in time. After a battle, he lost nearly a thousand people. Then the hero broke his arms and retreated in time to escape.

At this time, he returned to the Weishui River and saw the sound of killing everywhere, he almost fell off the Malay Kingdom in anger. Seeing nearly half of the infantry surrounded in the southwest corner, he wanted to rescue him. However, the other generals were almost scared and refused.

"King, Chen's army is cunning and has already laid a net. We have already lost our troops and generals. If we do not withdraw back to the south bank at this time, we will be surrounded by the entire army. The green mountains left are there, and we are not afraid of no firewood. Cross the river first and then carefully consider the countermeasures."

Yu Wenshi still wanted to persist, but when he saw the attitudes of Zhang Jun, Master Cui and other generals, he knew that this was difficult. He sighed and ordered him to break out of the siege and retreat to the south bank along the floating bridge.

When he retreated to the south bank, Xu Jun immediately burned three floating bridges, which completely abandoned his comrades on the other side.
