sweeping the world

Chapter 592 How can there be so many sad spring and autumn (Happy National Day)

Man is a wonderful creature. In addition to being more intelligent than other creatures, human beings continue to carry out some kind of training for a long time. The body and muscles will actually produce a kind of "memory", so that people do not need to use their brains to control their own Behavior is when the body reacts before the brain when encountering something.

The long-term and rigorous training allowed Cui Xuan to react in an instant. He put his body on the horse's back as much as possible, and stepped on the stirrup with his feet as hard as possible. up.

The actions made subconsciously allowed Cui Xuan to stay on the horse's back when his mount hit the spear array. Those spear heads that were tilted forward pierced the chest of the horse, but the front of the horse There was a thick semi-circular iron plate protruding slightly forward on the chest. When the gun head hit the iron plate, it was slid away, and the horse slammed into the spearman fiercely, and plowed past with a scream in the dull collision. .

When Cui Xuan came back to his senses, he was lucky to find that he was not dead, and his mount was still galloping forward.But before he had time to rejoice, his whole body seemed to float in the air suddenly, and then he suddenly felt a shock.

Outside the debris buffer zone, Zhang's Liang army dug trenches for nearly an hour, but in fact they did not dig out such a large scale. The tense and hasty shooting formation is not very thick, and the formation looks crooked, with pinches here and there and pulls here and there appearing to be extremely disorganized.

Suffering from his short sight, Cui Xuan really didn't know that his mount jumped up while running wildly just now, and it was like jumping over the ditch that was not deep at all.

Sincerely speaking, humans are the most intelligent creatures among the various animals on the earth, but in some things, they are not as quick as other animals, and even some animals react far faster than the most intelligent humans when facing danger.

Maybe you can only see the distance of four or five steps ahead. When a person encounters a pit while running wildly, he basically falls into it before he has time to react, but the war horse can react in an instant.

Of course, no matter what it is, there will be a difference. For example, Cui Xuan's mount responds quickly, while the mounts of some assault cavalry are slow.

Those cavalrymen of the Han army who didn't respond to their mounts, their mounts stepped on the ground and fell straight down. The force of hundreds of catties was so violent that many horses' necks were broken directly. After the knights were smashed, even if they were still alive I can't get up for a while.

In fact, Cui Xuan didn't know what happened, and he didn't have time to think about it when he was on the battlefield. He was still alive and kept charging forward, and he didn't have time to rest until he rushed to the edge of the city wall.

In the dense fog, the sound of horseshoes was deafening, accompanied by frequent screams everywhere, no one could find the other party at a long distance, and it was impossible to do something meaningful. All kinds of charges can only be to rush forward in a sullen way, or to accept the upcoming fate in place with anxiety.

Ignore the dense fog with "God Vision"...

Taking a bird's-eye view from the sky down, the Han army's military camp is a busy scene, and cavalry are still pouring out of it, and the infantry at the rear, ready to go, should be county soldiers.

The cavalry who came out of the army camp did not hit the buffer zone smoothly. Some cavalry galloped into obstacles and turned their backs. There were also cavalry who bumped into friendly troops who were originally in the debris buffer zone. But more cavalrymen came out of the debris buffer zone and surged away in the right direction.

In the open area, Zhang's Liang army standing still can be seen everywhere. Most of Zhang's Liang army are holding long objects in order to create a forest of spikes to resist the Han cavalry who may rush up.Naturally, there were also Zhang Liang's troops armed with short soldiers. They were huddled together, as close as possible to each other.

When the infantry faces the cavalry, it is the correct way to deal with it as densely as possible. The infantry on the periphery may be collided and trampled to death by the cavalry galloping at high speed, but the cavalry will also be lost after hitting the human wall. Speed, cavalry without speed is no better than infantry in fighting in situ, and it can even be said that once cavalry loses speed, they will be easily killed by infantry.

The cavalry of the Han army rushing into the open space, they are not actually a line of flat push mode, they are divided into multiple arrows and keep moving forward, some arrows charge extremely fiercely, and some arrows hit the dense formation Zhang's Liang army was frustrated.

In the rear, a large number of Zhang's Liang troops seemed to be relatively coordinated. They were distributed in a long formation. is on the rear side.Nearly ten thousand cavalry were slowly cruising in the left and right wing areas, but their condition was not good, and the two teams would meet each other from time to time.

Of course cavalrymen have to keep moving, they don’t wait for the fight to start suddenly moving from a standstill. War horses are different from people. War horses need to move for a long time to make their blood "warm". It can't play the vitality that a war horse should have.So even if there was some chaos, Zhang Chong kept the cavalry warming up.

"Where is the enemy's general charge?" Zhang Chong knew that there might be no answer, but he had to ask, "Should we send out only cavalry, or both infantry and cavalry?"

As expected, no one could answer Zhang Chong's questions. Even because the thick fog blocked his sight, no one knew what the battle situation was like ahead.

Sofu asked: "Master, will you go and see for yourself?"

Zhang Chong shook his head slowly, and said: "Everything that should be done has been done, and the next step is nothing more than doing one's best and obeying the destiny."

In Zhang Chong's view, Jincheng has become a burden that will drag the entire Zhang's Liang Kingdom into a bottomless abyss. If you want to change Jincheng, it will become a drag and you will have to fight out of the city today.

Of course, most of the Zhang family's Liang army who left the city didn't know that their general no longer wanted the fortified city of Jincheng. It was Zhang Chong who wanted to make Jincheng fall into the enemy's hands. Before that, he used a huge battle as a footnote. Zhang Chong does not care about how many of his own people will be killed or injured. What Zhang Chong cares about is how much damage he can cause to the Han army.

The Jincheng behind the army sounded very quiet. The dense fog blocked the sight of Zhang's Liang army lined up to wait for the enemy, making it impossible for them to notice that the flag belonging to Zhang's Liang country on the top of the city had been removed. Some of them looked like they were made temporarily The Han army banners that came out were flying.

At this moment, Yi Tui was standing on the city tower looking out at the thick fog in the distance, what he heard in his ears was the movement of the battle, but the expression on his face was extremely complicated.

【Prefect Zhang has known for a long time that a certain man secretly took refuge in a big man, but he has never dealt with it...】Of course Yi Chuai would not think that it was Zhang Chong's good intentions: 【Should he stay with a certain person in order to set a trap to severely damage the Han army at a certain moment?But he didn't know why he led his army out of the city and handed over the city defense to someone. 】

In fact, Yi Chuai had already inspected the city, nervously and anxiously trying to find out what was wrong. After a round of investigation, he found no accumulation of firewood or kerosene, nor did he find any ambushes.

[What on earth was Taishou Zhang so excited about? 】Yi Caihua couldn't even think of it: "Do you really want to leave a good fortune for the family and give us a great wealth?" 】

Aristocratic politics, but all aristocratic families are a class, they may have various conflicts, but there is no permanent enemy, and being able to open the door of convenience and form some friendships is tantamount to leaving an extra way for one's own family.

If Zhang Chong hadn't set up any traps, Yi Chuai and the other group would have indeed received Zhang Chong's favor. Once something happened to Zhang Chong's family, they would be the ones to help out both emotionally and rationally.

"Since you don't want to stick to Jincheng, why doesn't Governor Zhang act like us?" Xu Zhi was puzzled: "The situation is like this, and resistance is just a mantis' arm to block the car. If Governor Zhang offers the city..."

Yi Chuai cut off Xu Zhi's words with great complexity in his heart: "We don't care about loyalty, there are still people who care."

It seems that the Zhang family of Jincheng has been favored by the Zhang family of the Xiliang shogunate for generations. From Zhang Shi's many cares at the beginning, to Zhang Mao and Zhang Jun's generousness, the originally small and powerful Zhang family of Jincheng has become a family. County family.

During the conflict between Chu and Han, there was a promising Jibu. In the earlier pre-Qin period, there were many close friends with strong friendship. The so-called close friends can really take revenge after the other party's accident, regardless of the cost. , After taking revenge, he committed suicide to accompany his old friend.

Friendship and loyalty are like dung to some people, but others regard them as priceless treasures. Some people try their best to repay the favor of a meal, let alone how many generations have been favored?

Don't you see, in the Southern Song Dynasty, Shenzhou Lu Shen, a hundred thousand towels jumped off the cliff to become the last one in China?Scholars who received Zhao's 1-year grace to support scholars died for the country, but...why would they rather commit suicide by jumping off a cliff than turn back and fight the invaders?You are not afraid of death, what are you afraid of!
Zhang Chong was originally looking in the direction of Jincheng, but of course he couldn't see anything due to the fog.He turned his head around again, making a gesture of listening.

The sound of horseshoes in front of them never stops, and the distance is not too far away, and it should soon hit the battle formation set up.

Cui Xuan was still at the front of the whole army, the shield was lost at some point, and the extended saber was broken at some point, and the guy in his hand turned into a slightly shorter saber.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

The rhythmic sound of the horn was blown, and Cui Xuan, whose eyes were scorched by sweat, showed a relieved expression behind his visor. The next moment he pulled the reins and let the mount gallop in the direction of the horn.

The cavalry charge is not able to rush to the end, but the physical strength of the horse is almost exhausted. The cavalry's combat effectiveness is not only reduced by [-]%. When there is a chance to withdraw the exhausted cavalry, there is no commander. The cavalry continued to charge.

The sound of the horn is a signal, and it is also a "lighthouse" that guides where the cavalry should withdraw. When the tired cavalry withdraws, there will be robes behind to take over.

Cui Xuan was so tired that he was about to be spread out on the horse's back. He was constantly exhausted, and more of it was the uneasiness and tension created in the dense fog environment.

To be honest, no one can really care about anything when fighting on the battlefield. If anyone seems to not care, he is definitely pretending.

Every time a soldier goes to the battlefield, as long as he can still breathe, he will have various thoughts in his mind, and fear and tension are indispensable. The difference is whether he can suppress all kinds of negative emotions like a real soldier and focus on how to save his life. and kill the enemies above.

A lot of parts of Cui Xuan's body were withdrawn to a safe area, and immediately a county soldier came over to help him dismount.He still felt a little floating when his feet stepped on the thick ground. When he pulled up his visor and panted heavily, the county soldier handed him a leather bag filled with water.

After gulping down the cow, Cui Xuan took off his helmet and poured water on himself with a leather bag. Amidst the sound of "splashing" water, the crimson water below his head fell to the ground. The county soldiers who helped to rest To remove the arrows from the armor, he even took off an arm hanging from his shoulder, not to mention the rest of the meat.

Cui Xuan gasped for a while and walked quickly to his mount and began to take off his vest.He didn't even realize that in the mist, he could already see the wet towel wiping the blood-stained horse twenty paces away in the fog. Looking at some broken flesh, fortunately, the wounds were not that deep.

Listening to the vast sound of "Han army mighty" coming from a distance, it didn't take long for the shout of "Wan Sheng" to come, which made everyone who was not on the battlefield look happy.

"The front is broken..." Cui Xuan had just bandaged the wound on the chest of the mount, blinking his eyes and suddenly realized that the fog was about to dissipate, and couldn't help feeling: "It should be dissipated, then Charging in a thick fog where you can't see your fingers, it's really unbearable for human beings."

Look at the sun above the head, it is definitely past Si time, no matter how thick the fog is, the sun will come out, and the wind will start to increase, it will definitely dissipate slowly, and it will definitely dissipate by noon.

His vision gradually recovered, and Cui Xuan took care of his mount again. He walked around and gathered the robes of Bentun as much as possible. It must be that at least sixty or more robes have died.

Cui Xuan was not given too much time to feel sad, they only rested for less than a quarter of an hour, and the new military order was conveyed, saying that some comrades had rushed into Jincheng, and they hurriedly put on their armor and replenished their matching weapons.This group of them was going to the flanks of the battlefield to fight a group of cavalry from the Western Regions, and then they were going to enter the city.

"Old man, take a break first." Cui Xuan seemed to be a man with rich feelings, at least for his mount, with one hand stroking the steaming horse that had just hit him for a while, and the other hand was actually holding another horse. The spare mount, signaled the county soldiers to take the injured mount off, turned on the horseback and shouted: "The whole team, the whole team, overthrow those barbarians from the Western Regions, and then enter the city!"
