Turbulent Times Chapter 1624: The Wagang camp that disappeared mysteriously
Mad Bird led more than 2,000 cavalry to continue to kill Zhu's army's rout, and any signs of gathering to set up a battle formation or block them in groups would be smashed immediately by the Mad Bird.
The Wagang Battalion cavalry led by Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin's infantry phalanx were about to kill more than 10,000 infantrymen of the Li family army, but at this time they were temporarily stopped by more than 10,000 cavalry sent by Duan Zhixuan.
The few infantry on Duan Zhixuan's side had already been killed by the masters of the five hundred special forces, and now he led thousands of cavalry to charge and kill the fifty special forces.
On the mountain in the distance, Li Shimin could barely see the battle situation here by the light of the fire, his expression became more and more ugly, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and muttered to himself: "I'm afraid that the 20,000 cavalry from Qushi City haven't arrived yet, This side has already been killed and collapsed... It's a pity that my Li family doesn't have so many experts, otherwise we can form a special team of experts like the Far East Army."
"Now it seems that these people are all martial arts masters absorbed by the martial arts guild formed by Wang Junlin back then. At that time, Wang Junlin was just the leader of the blue-clothed guards of the Sui Dynasty, and he didn't want to have such a far-reaching layout..."
"A real master of martial arts, in the woods, can kill the enemy one by one with one against a hundred. If it is in an open place, it is impossible for one to fifty. If these people still pass by A lot of training, or elite soldiers, masters of the rivers and lakes, in the face of a siege, one enemy can be defeated by ten. The battlefield is different from personal bravery. Sometimes, if the guts are broken, 20,000 people can fight 80 Tens of thousands, but more often than not, numbers are numbers. No matter how powerful they are, there are only more than five hundred people. It's a shame to stay away."
Li Shimin thought to himself, scolding Duan Zhixuan in his heart why he didn't let the cavalry charge the 500 special forces masters, and then freed up his hands to resist the troops led by Cheng Yaojin and Xu Shiji, as long as he persisted for a while, he still had 20,000 The cavalry will come from Qushi City. At that time, it is really not sure who will win the battle!
Duan Zhixuan did not disappoint Li Shimin, while the latter was muttering on the distant mountain, he also issued an order to let the more than 3,000 cavalry who had finally gathered together start charging.
As the sound of more than 3,000 cavalry galloping and galloping came out, the ground suddenly began to tremble.
More than 3,000 cavalry rushed forward like a tidal wave towards the 50 special operations teams.
Even if these fifty special operations teams are all masters, looking at the raging front line of fire, they seem to be a little bit timid, and then they retreated into the rear of the mountain as planned... This is their scheduled battle Place.
That place is said to be a mountain depression, but it is actually wrong. The opening is a bit big, and the slopes on both sides are not too steep. The conditions for setting up an ambush are actually not perfect.
This area was originally used by the Li family army to ambush the 10,000 Wagang Battalion cavalry led by Cheng Yaojin. When the general looked at the terrain, he didn't pay attention at all.
In this way, they charge forward, and the fifty special operations squads are retreating again. These three thousand cavalrymen of the Li family army have the confidence to win, and they will kill all the experts of the special operations team who killed too many of them just now. .
Years of experience, superb eyesight, once a decision is made, it will not be confused or shaken. In fact, whether it is Duan Zhixuan or the general who is charging with these three thousand cavalry at this time, their judgment It is basically accurate. Even if the special forces are all experts, but five hundred people face the charge of 3,000 cavalry, it will only end in defeat and heavy casualties, and at most it will cause heavy losses to the cavalry.
More than 3,000 cavalry rode their horses into the mountain path, brandishing their spears. Although the fifty fleeing squads in front of them were very fast, they were still getting closer under the full gallop of the horses. Just now, Duan Zhixuan offered ten times the reward for the head of these 500 special forces masters than ordinary soldiers of the Far East Army, so the hearts of the more than 3,000 cavalrymen of the Li family army were full of murderous intent and enthusiasm for a bright future.
Boom boom boom boom...
The loud noise shook the ground.
At the mouth of the col, about one-third of the front line of the three thousand cavalry rushed into the formation, the light began to rise, and some cavalry and horses screamed together or flew out without even screaming. What's more, they fell apart directly.
Amid the blood and flesh, stones, clods, and gravel burst into the air, and the fragments flew wildly. Some cavalrymen at the back struggled to pull up the reins while their faces changed drastically, and the horses under their crotches raised one after another with a "ang" sound. hooves.
The quiet night was slightly different from the grenade explosions that were still fired by the more than 2,000 horse bandit cavalry led by the Special Forces and the Mad Bird, but the loud roar that was still like thunder made everyone startled.
More than 3,000 cavalry and horses were blown out during the charge, or the horses were frightened, rushed around, and then squeezed each other to the ground, although the people behind almost subconsciously wanted to stop their horses , and then because the horse was seriously frightened, he was knocked over and over again.
The landmines planted by the Special Forces at the mountain pass were actually not that many, but they were triggered at the same time by means of pulling wires. In such a night, there was indeed an explosion of incomparable viewing and lethality.
Although Li Jiajun has in-depth research and defense on the gunpowder weapons of the Far East Army, they mostly use grenades and gunpowder bags. will suddenly explode.
Therefore, the more than 3,000 cavalry that Duan Zhixuan managed to gather were all dead at this moment. I was stunned.
Some people still can't figure out what happened, but the general who commanded the more than 3,000 cavalry reacted decisively. Because he led the vanguard of more than 400 cavalry, he was a little farther behind, and they were skilled in riding, so they would be frightened After the war horse was under control, he gritted his teeth and led the people to still rush forward. However, afterward, there was another series of loud noises. He, the horse on his body and the brothers next to him all flew out.
The general of the cavalry, who was thrown off by the horse under his crotch, rolled from the ground, his beard and hair were disheveled, his head was dazed in horror, and he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood in despair.
"This is **** endless, this bombing method is still a fart."
As soon as the general of the Li family's army came up with the idea, he was overwhelmed by the fifty special operations teams who turned back and rushed up, not only him, but also all the survivors among the more than 3,000 cavalry.
Amidst the rumbling sound, there were several thunderous bangs again. This time, the fire came from the hillside on the right side. It was because Xu Shiji had already guessed that Li Shimin might have reinforcements, and he didn't want to delay any longer. , still a large wave of grenades.
After the loud explosion, the fire was lit, and the steel needles and **** inside the grenade drew **** lines in the air.
After about one breath, the flames came on again. Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin finally defeated the more than 10,000 cavalry who blocked them.
At this time, the entire battlefield is completely chaotic. Looking from a distance, the interlaced lights and explosions in the mountain road are like the thunder punishment cast by the gods in the sky, which is daunting. Fear...
Zhu's army has completely collapsed, except for Zhu Can who was desperately protected by a group of personal soldiers and fled early in the dark, most of them were already dead.
However, because it was dark and the strength of the Far East Army was limited, it was difficult to wipe out all Zhu's troops, and many Zhu's troops still escaped.
At this time, the scattered soldiers of the Li Family Army fled in all directions like a tidal wave. Many of them even dropped their weapons and armor in order to run faster.
The rout spread in all directions in the night. On the top of the mountain in the distance, Li Shimin's face turned extremely ugly, watching the flames and explosions on the other side of the mountain from afar.
"What's the matter...it's gunpowder again...how is this possible? Doesn't it mean that to ensure the effectiveness of the buried gunpowder, it takes at least half a day for various arrangements? The gunpowder of the scale just now should also At least a whole day's schedule is needed..." Li Shimin's face was gloomy, but he did not lose his mind. He had a very in-depth study of gunpowder, "Xu Shiji had expected or found out that Zhu Can and I would meet each other a long time ago. To ambush their people here, Cheng Yaojin is the bait, and they have already made full preparations for this place."
At this time, looking from the opposite hillside, the open mouth of the mountain has become an uncontrollable huge chaos, figures of people are running in all directions, blood and corpses are scattered on the ground, or Flying in the air, frightened war
The horses fled in all directions, leaving their riders behind, some crashing into the running crowd.
Some knights were dragged around by one leg before they could get their legs out of the stirrups. Because of the darkness, every time the exploded light illuminates, people in the distance can see more clearly the chaos that seems to have frozen in an instant.
Duan Zhixuan's voice spread throughout the audience, and he shouted: "Hurry up and gather your own people, the explosive power of the gunpowder on flat ground is limited, less than a thousand of you were killed in the blast just now, hurry up and gather your own people , even if you can't win, at least gather people together so that you can escape, hurry up."
Duan Zhixuan's roar had a certain effect, many generals of the Li family army shouted loudly and gathered the rout.
However, although the night is good for them to flee, it is also not good for them to gather people. After gathering for the first time, the Li family's army only cared about fleeing for their lives.
Duan Zhixuan led more than a thousand soldiers around him to maintain the organizational system. Although they tried to prevent their own soldiers from fleeing, they had limited manpower after all. They killed some of the deserters who retreated the fastest, but it didn't help at all.
In the mountains at this time, there are scattered scenes everywhere, some people are shouting indiscriminately, some people are shouting to run, some people are running and stepping over the corpses along the way, only to remember how many brothers died in the whole day's battle .
Seeing this, Duan Zhixuan knew that it was difficult to save the situation, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, he took more than a thousand people around him who were still in order and fled for their lives.
He glanced back before he was about to retreat, and after the fifty special warfare teams at the col over there killed all the more than 3,000 cavalry, they fought out all the way again, reaping the retreating troops on their own side.
The sky was completely dark, and the Far East Army did not chase too far away. After the Li Family Army's army completely collapsed, after a wave of chasing and killing, Xu Shiji gave an order that everyone would stop chasing and killing, and instead sent a group After the scattered and scattered horses gathered up and were controlled and appeased, everyone followed the plan and left here along a valley, heading north all the way. They seemed to be going to kill Hanzhong County overnight.
In the high sky, there were flying eagles circling around them within a radius of ten miles. With a murderous intent, he gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Shiji, I was worried that you would stop here, but since your appetite is not enough, then this is my chance for Li Shimin to come back."
After muttering to himself, Li Shimin disappeared into the night with a group of elite soldiers.
………
………
"What, disappeared?" Li Shimin, who rushed back to Hanzhong County overnight and had already prepared a big net for Xu Shiji, received a piece of news that he had never expected at dawn the next day.
"Yes, son, all the spies we sent to watch the main force of the Wagang Camp have been killed or disappeared, but the spies and scouts we sent back could not find the main force of the Wagang Camp." One of the generals in front of Li Shimin knelt on one knee and reported respectfully.
Li Shimin's complexion changed, he frowned and pondered for a while, and asked, "Where is Duan Zhixuan now?"
The general immediately said: "Return to your son, General Duan has gathered more than 10,000 routs and is rushing to Hanzhong County."
"How did Li Xiong lead the 20,000 cavalry in Qushi City yesterday, and where are they now?" Li Shimin asked with a frown.
The general said: "My son, General Li Xiong led the 20,000 cavalry in Qushi City yesterday according to the plan, and successfully wiped out the 10,000 infantry attacking the Wagang Camp. After capturing the opponent's leader Xie Yingdeng alive, he followed the plan All the way to the north for support, but I couldn't catch up with the big battle last night, and I am rushing to Hanzhong County at this time."
After pondering for a while, Li Shimin said: "Immediately send an order to Li Xiong, let him lead the troops to turn around and go to Qushi City, and tell him that he has been stationed in Qushi City without my order, and he will guard Qushi City to the death. Throw, the city of Hanzhong County is in our hands, and the entire Hanzhong County is firmly in our hands."
The general immediately said yes respectfully, and Li Shimin emphasized: "Send a large number of spies to scout, and we must find the Wagang Camp led by Xu Shiji as soon as possible."
