Chapter 178
Yang Zaixing's death in battle greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.
Even though they knew that they could not win this battle, even though they knew that it would be a dead end for them to fight any longer, they still charged forward.
Let their own flesh and blood be frantically trampled by the cavalry of the White Horse Legion, and they will also pull an enemy to Huangquan together!
The soldiers on both sides will use the Great Song military camp as a base to launch a fierce offensive and defensive battle.
Although Yang Zaixing died in battle, the soldiers and horses under his command were the same as this man, fighting to the death and not retreating!
Wang Mang, who saw this scene from a distance, couldn't help but sigh: "What a soldier and horse who is not afraid of life and death, and the death of Yang Zaixing alone can actually arouse their morale."
Strategist, what do you say our army should do next?" Although
the Song army is retreating now, the Song army that has been broken in front is too fearless, and it is desperate to block them, which blocks their pursuit.
Jiang Ziya raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Yue Fei's withdrawal at this moment is in the direction of Xuansu County, presumably he wants to lead the soldiers and horses to annihilate General Li Cunxiao's Condor Legion first."
Our army cannot be delayed here, otherwise General Li Cunxiao will be in danger.
Sun Wu on the side also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the best way at this moment should be to rush out with cavalry, catch up with Yue Fei's soldiers and horses, and prevent them from completing the encirclement of the Condor Legion."
Even if you can't win the other party, you have to hold them back and wait for Your Majesty's main force to come. Sun
Wu gave a specific suggestion, let Wang Mang use the cavalry to kill first, after all, the cavalry charge force is very large, and it is impossible for the Song army to stop them at this moment.
Moreover, the cavalry was fast and could catch up with Yue Fei and them.
Wang Mang nodded again and again when he heard this: "Well, Master Sun is reasonable, if this is the case, then let Pang De lead the white horse cavalry to rush out first."
As for the Song army after this break... Destroy them all!" Although
he admired the bravery of this group of people who had been broken, Wang Mang knew that he couldn't act rashly, and he still had to kill them.
At the sound of an order, Pang De, who was tearing apart the Song army's defenses, soon received the order.
Pound did not hesitate, and led the white horse cavalry to pursue frantically to the east.
After the break, although the Song army wanted to block it, how could they be faster than the speed of the cavalry, just a moment of effort, the white horse cavalry rushed out a lot.
At the same time, the Qilin on the front and the two legions of the Blue Dragon also launched a fierce attack at this moment.
Just now, it was just Lian Po's Qilin Legion outside the city, and at this moment, Ran Min's Blue Dragon Legion was out of the city and was attacking the Song army in all directions.
Even if the Song army is tenacious, it is only a matter of time before it is eliminated.
Before the absolute superiority of soldiers and horses, the 30,000 Song troops left behind were quickly surrounded by the two major armies of Qinglong and Qilin.
For a time, the scene was full of killings, and the battlefield was like a meat grinder, constantly reaping the lives of the soldiers of the Song Army.
However, Pang De, who rushed out to help Li Cunxiao on the other side, had a problem at this moment!
They rode their horses and galloped to a dense forest, but they were actually ambushed by the Song army.
The archers kept firing their arrows, and many obstacles appeared on the avenue ahead.
Seeing this, Pang De's face changed: "It's not good, Yue Fei knew that our army would pursue, so he deliberately left people to ambush us, and also set up obstacles on the road to reduce the speed of our army's march! Pass the
order, throw a short gun, and quickly defeat the enemy!" As a
fierce general of Xiliang, Pang De is not in vain, he quickly sensed Yue Fei's intentions, and gave an order to let his soldiers and horses quickly solve the battle.
Now Yue Fei had already led the army to besiege Li Cunxiao, and if their support was not timely, Li Cunxiao's Condor Legion would be finished!
At the same time, under a mountain peak fifty miles east of Liucheng, a large group of soldiers and horses were fighting.
It was none other than Li Cunxiao's Condor Legion and the highly favored soldiers and horses.
Gao Zhong originally led the army to Liucheng, but in fact, he set up an ambush in the middle of the road to stop Li Cunxiao.
The two sides are fighting fiercely under this mountain peak, and it is in full swing!"
"Zhuge military division, now that the enemy army is blocking the way, our army has been unable to break through for a long time, what should we do?"
Li Cunxiao was a little anxious, and immediately found his military advisor Zhuge Liang to discuss.
But seeing Zhuge Liang smile slightly, the feather fan in his hand shook lightly: "General Li doesn't need to panic, there are still variables in this battle."
Gao Zhong stopped us with his soldiers and horses, but his soldiers and horses were also here and could not go to Liucheng.
Therefore, the key to determining the outcome of this battle is not in us, but in Liucheng, the largest main battlefield.
As soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, he heard a loud noise from the other side of the battlefield.
Zhuge Liang frowned, looked up, and saw a large number of soldiers and horses coming from the direction of Liucheng in the smoke and dust that covered the sky and closed his eyes.
At the same time, the spies came to report: "General, military division, no, many enemy troops are coming from the direction of Liucheng!" "
How many people are there?" Zhuge Liang's eyes changed and he hurriedly asked.
"There are too many dense mountains and fields, and the small ones can't be counted, but looking at this posture, there are at least no less than seventy or eighty thousand!" replied the soldier truthfully.
When Li Cunxiao heard about so many soldiers and horses, he couldn't help but change his face greatly: "What, seventy or eighty thousand people, doesn't Yue Fei want to fight a decisive battle with His Majesty in Liucheng, but wants to encircle and kill
our army? With so many soldiers and horses, plus high-quality soldiers and horses, our army is in danger!"
Although Li Cunxiao was able to leave the battlefield with his own force, with so many soldiers and horses here, he didn't want to escape alone.
What's more, he was summoned by Wang Mang, and he was loyal to Wang Mang, so it was absolutely impossible to do such a thing.
Zhuge Liang didn't speak, he pondered for a moment before squinting his eyes and said, "This matter is strange
!" "With the ability of Your Majesty and several generals and military advisors, it is absolutely impossible for so many soldiers and horses to come here to besiege and kill our army!" "
It must be that there has been a change in the battle situation on the other side of Liucheng, so Yue Fei has to change his plan.
"I am sure that Your Majesty must have sent a force of troops and horses to support here at this moment, as long as our army can block the enemy's attack and wait for reinforcements to arrive, we can besiege all the opponents here." "
Zhuge Liang's plan is obvious, he wants to use himself as bait to let Yue Fei and Gao Chonghuijun attack them later.
As long as they hold on, when their reinforcements arrive, they will be able to meet the inside and outside.
When Li Cunxiao heard this, although he agreed with Zhuge Liang's opinion in his heart, he was still a little worried:
"But the enemy has a large number of soldiers and horses, how can our army block the enemy's offensive? If it fails to stop it, won't our army be wiped out?"
Li Cunxiao's worries are not unreasonable, after all, the other party is several times his soldiers and horses, and if he fails, he will be sorry for Wang Mang's trust in him.
However, Zhuge Liang had a plan for this.
I saw Zhuge Liang pointing to the mountain peak and saying: "Our army retreats to the mountain peak, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack
!" "However, in order to prevent the enemy from setting fire, our army needs to cut down all the trees at the foot of the mountain and not give them a chance to set fire!"
