Lord of the House

Vol 9 Chapter 54: ruined

Sun Zhuang held the lance in front of the horse, put down his visor, and looked at the enemy formation opposite Caozi through the gap in his visor. His muscles and bones were tensed, as if infinite energy was pouring out, and the war horse could feel it. With his murderous aura, he hissed endlessly.

The speed of the heavy armored cavalry when it first came out was not fast, and it was not even as fast as the two-winged infantry armor, but when it moved, the armor of the human armor and the horse armor collided with each other, and the momentum was horrified. Ordinary crossbows have poor strike ability against heavy armor, and bed crossbows themselves are heavy equipment. She Feihu and his troops traveled nearly 500 li in four days. They traveled on mountain trestle roads and post roads. There were very few horses and few heavy crossbows, not to mention bed crossbows.

Looking at the heavy armored cavalry coming in front of him, She Feihu organized people to form a shield formation on horseback, and then organized more than a hundred spears to hold the tail of the spears to the ground, and stab them diagonally from the middle of the high shield to guard against the impact of the armored cavalry. It even gathers the heavy crossbow in the middle. However, in the face of their adjustment, the Huaidong Army's infantry armors on both flanks sped up their pace, protruding from the two flanks, forming a huge formation of jaws.

In preventing the impact of armor and cavalry, the Bamin warriors have rich experience. The fatal thing is that in such a short period of time, She Feihu was on the right flank of the camp, and only had enough time to organize a defensive force of six or seven hundred people, and at the beginning, he interspersed and harassed the light cavalry of the Huaidong Army, and the formation in a hurry was also not enough. Somewhat messy.

On the frontal battlefield, the Huaidong Army invested more than three times their strength in one fell swoop, and more troops on both flanks were rapidly expanding, far exceeding their speed.

Looking at the attacking array of the Huaidong Army's jaws on both flanks, She Feihu couldn't organize more troops to suppress it, and could only shrink as much as possible to the inside to form a tighter defensive array. She Feihu only hoped that he could withstand the first wave of offensive and gain more time so that he could deploy the troops in the camp and regain the disadvantage.

The sky is getting brighter and clearer, and a thin mist rises from Taibai Creek. The scenery looks like an illusion, but at this time no one is in the mood to appreciate the beauty of the mountains and rivers.

Zhang Gou accompanied Chen Zhuo on horseback on the high **** of the rear wing, watching the battlefield below.

The key is the battle at hand. If the six or seven hundred people on the right flank can be defeated at once, they will be able to gain an absolute advantage before the Zhuji reinforcements arrive; Even if the battle is finally won, the casualties will be extremely heavy.

On the tips of the two wings of the frontal battlefield are reinforced arrays of crossbowmen.

In the face of the enemy's defensive array shrinking inwards, the archers quickly pressed on, unscrupulously projecting the dense rain of arrows at the enemy's line, reducing the pressure on the main swords, shields and armored soldiers who attacked from the two wings.

The pincer-shaped attack array formed by the two wings is mainly to attack the flanks of the enemy's defensive array, and the middle should be left as a passage for the heavy armored cavalry to advance. Seeing that the enemy's formation was slightly disturbed, and without waiting for a better opportunity, Sun Zhuang led the heavy-armored cavalry in the center, risking sharp arrows from heavy crossbows to advance.

Even if the enemy's formation is as strong as a rock, we must concentrate all our strength to smash this heavy hammer down, and smash the rock to smithereens!

The Chuangzhang heavy crossbow can shoot from 200 to 250 steps, but it has little damage to the heavy armored cavalry outside a hundred steps, and under the blow of the two wings, the central bow and crossbow array is also messed up. Unable to form a uniform arrow rain coverage, the damage caused is weaker.

At the point of advancing to a hundred paces, the speed of the warhorse is also extremely high even if it is put on a heavy armor. A hundred paces away, it was only 13 or 4 breaths. Sun Zhuang ignored the three or four crossbow arrows scattered by Ling, and also ignored the spears pierced from both sides of the high shield. Going forward, he stretched out the long lance that was more than ten feet long, and used the lance head as a heavy hammer. With the momentum, he slammed the high shield in front of him ruthlessly.

At the moment of the strike, he picked it out, and Sun Zhuang immediately let go of Changshuo, and sent the current enemy pawns with their shields flying away, and also knocked away the spearmen on both sides.

There was only a slight difference. The spear slid across the armor on the left front of the warhorse, and the electric light slid, and the abnormal noise provoked hurt the eardrums, but it did not hurt the warhorse. When sprinting, a crossbow arrow was hit in the chest of the warhorse, and it pierced through the gap between the armor pieces, which was two or three inches deep. As for whether the horses could live after the war, that is another matter.

The long lance that was freed from his hand was also broken in two in an instant, and he could not keep it. Sun Zhuang lowered his head and flashed a spear from the inside, pulled out the sword from his waist, and chopped off the head of the enemy soldier on the left to the neck. The armored cavalry on the left and right also broke through the current high shield. One of the horses was stabbed in the middle of the neck by the slanted spear, and the horse rolled down. Fortunately, the armored cavalry in the second column was still separated by a distance, climbing. When he got up, the spear didn't fall, and it stuck close to the side of Sun Zhuang's horse and charged forward. Sun Zhuang shouted, "Give me the spear!" He took the spear and, relying on his full strength and subtle spear skills, rushed in while taking advantage of the horse's momentum. Soldiers and other lost soldiers poured into the gap...

When the first column of the defenders could not take advantage of the equipment to seal the armored cavalry outside and open the gap, it would be extremely difficult. The sharp thorn spears would be blocked by the stalwarts on both wings, while the sword and shield soldiers could not break the heavy armor on the cavalry at all, and the bowmen could not squeeze in front to shoot, and they had to fill up with more human life. The key defenders are seriously insufficient, and they can only have a slight advantage in the terrain. If this gap is to be filled, there will be larger gaps elsewhere.

She Feihu also saw that the cavalry general who was at the front of the Huaidong Army's frontal attack formation was extraordinarily brave. There was almost no one here who could block him in person. In just over a hundred breaths, that cavalry general actually He interrupted three cavalry spears in a row, and then took the long spear from the Huaidong Army **** behind him and continued to shoot forward.

The cavalry general wore a mask and could not see his appearance clearly, but he thought it would not be Zhou Pu, the leader of the Huaidong Army cavalry battalion, but besides Zhou Pu, how could there be such a fierce and unusual cavalry general in Huaidong?

Seeing the danger of the gap over there, She Feihu wanted to lead his elite stalwarts to press him up, hug him from left to right, and prevent him from going up to fight.

This time, the Huaidong general who attacked Dongyang (Dongyang County, Kuaiji Prefecture) was still standing on the opposite hill to watch the battle from afar. Of course it is good; if there is a mistake in She Feihu, there is no need to fight this battle.

She Feihu's troops in the camp are still very strong, and the key point is that the entire right wing is constantly retreating under the powerful and fierce offensive. The left flank is Taibai Creek, and the gap between the battlefield on the right flank and the gate of the camp is getting smaller and smaller. Constantly deploying troops abroad can only increase the density of troops on the inside of the battlefield on the right flank, but is useless to deploy troops. The more crowded the inside line, once the front collapses, it will only cause a bigger rout...

In addition, the Huaidong Army's crossbowmen were not threatened on the flanks, and they could boldly approach the center of the formation with bows and crossbows.

She Feihu can only take the initiative to break a hole in the right rear wing of the camp as a channel for sending troops and deploying troops to fight back, so as not to collapse the attacking Huaidong Army even when the troops are dominant...

The warhorse fell down with a neigh, and his neck was almost broken by a heavy hammer. Sun Zhuang stabbed his spear into the chest of the enemy general who made the sledgehammer, and his body lost his balance and fell. Fortunately, there were all the soldiers and pawns on the left and right, and the formation was complete. Seeing Sun Zhuang slumped, some held the shoulders and supported him, and some rushed forward and protected him inside—Sun Zhuang struggled to stand up. Injured, the greaves deck did not know when it was destroyed, and a **** hole was pierced into the spear, and the hemp-grey breeches were dyed blood red.

Sun Zhuang's legs are not good, but he still has strength. This is because he is able to work together with the left and right warriors, sharing a lot of pressure for him. He got on the war horse again, only to see that he was still able to shake the long lance that was more than ten feet long out of the flower ball. His vigor was astonishing, and before he knew it, he actually killed the enemy line!

*************

She Feihu led the elite reinforcements from southern Zhejiang to the camp on the east bank. There were 1,560 defenders in Dongyang County on the west bank, but there were not many soldiers. Crossing the Taibai River by fishing boat only increases the number of defeated soldiers.

When the fort on the east bank of Taibai River was breached from the flank and the 5,000 elites of the southern Zhejiang reinforcements were divided into several sections to fight each other, the Dongyang County general could only try his best to organize fishing boats to provide assistance near the shore.

This battle had lost the first opportunity from the beginning, and the hastily organized defense on the right wing of the camp was ruthlessly smashed, and She Feihu was no longer able to organize a strong counterattack.

No matter how much She Feihu hated in his heart, no matter how unwilling or unwilling he was, he knew that the situation was over, he retreated to the boat surrounded by him, and hurriedly fled to the west bank. After arriving on the west bank, She Feihu calmed down and ordered the Dongyang county guard to organize fishing boats and use ropes to build a simple trestle bridge between the west bank and the beach position that was still standing on the east bank, so that more troops could be defeated. Evacuate to the West Bank.

On the other hand, She Feihu organized more powerful bows and heavy crossbows. While preventing the Huaidong Army from taking the opportunity to attack from the simple trestle, it also supported the resistance of the remnants on the east bank.

The Taibai River passing around the east side of Dongyang County is the main stream of the upper reaches of the Lanxi River. The main embankment that descends from Dongbai Mountain and passes through the Dongyang County section is more than 30 feet wide, just within the range of the hundred-step strong bow.

This battle lasted from dawn on the 29th to noon. The outpost of the Zhuji reinforcements entered Dongyang County from the western foot of Dongbai Mountain, and the Huaidong Army let go of the remnants of the Southern Zhejiang Army who were still fighting on the shore. Retreat to the valley road at the northwest foot of Luohe Mountain.

Chen Zhui also came back sweating like pulp, took off the pocket, held it in his hand, and scolded angrily: "The last few hard bones are really hard to chew!"

"The name of the Bamin war pawn, you should be a fake!"

Lin Bie stood on the **** of Caoban with his hands behind his back, and chatted with Chen Zhe with a light smile, but his eyes were looking at the Taibai River, which was sparkling in the sun.

After the Shangyu reinforcements arrived in Shengzhou, Lin Fu personally led a second wave of troops to Dongyang for reinforcements.

However, at this time, Tian Chang also led Kuaiji reinforcements of 6,000 to 7,000 troops from Zhuji in the north to approach Dongyang County, and Lin Fusuo led the second troops with only 2,000 elite troops, so he did not rush to attack, but was in the northwest of Luohe Mountain. Fortresses were built on the valley road leading to Shengzhou.

In addition to the soldiers and horses who had previously withdrawn to the West Bank, the reinforcements who came from southern Zhejiang with Shefeihu, in the end, there were still more than a thousand remnants who resisted stubbornly and were not annihilated. Some even complained that Lin Fu sent the order to withdraw troops early, but in general, the battle was very smooth.

In terms of casualties, She Feihu's division would have to reduce at least half of its personnel in this battle. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

In fact, the casualties of the five battalions of three thousand soldiers led by Chen Zhu and Zhang Gou were close to half. If it weren't for the chance of a surprise attack, it would be hard to imagine that the 5,000 elites from the southern Zhejiang reinforcements led by She Feihu could be completely crippled.

But no matter what, the Huaidong Army's raid this time was a great victory. Although the casualties were heavy, the morale of the generals was still high, and they had the will and morale to continue fighting. Especially when the battlefield was effectively controlled, the wounded and wounded were evacuated smoothly and received timely treatment. In the end, almost 70 to 80 percent of the veterans could be reintegrated into the battalion.

The Southern Zhejiang Army was defeated by the attack, and the number of casualties that could be evacuated was extremely limited, and most of them were supplemented by the Huaidong Army who followed behind.

Even though there were more than 2,000 reinforcements in southern Zhejiang who escaped the catastrophe in the end, they had crippled the morale of the battle, and it would be difficult to restore their original combat strength in a short period of time.

"The Ba Fujian soldiers are no worse than the Huaidong Army! If it weren't for the big... adults calculated to take the lead, let She Feihu calmly lead the troops to approach Shengzhou, the situation is probably much more difficult than it is now." At the end of the battle, he was forced to drag him down Sun Zhuang, who was in battle, was the most qualified to evaluate the fighting strength of the elites in southern Zhejiang under Shefeihu. Although the Huaidong Army's elite combat power was not superior to that of the Eastern Fujian soldiers, Sun Zhuang also knew that the Huaidong Army had a great advantage under Lin Bing's calculations, and could choose to fight with ease. With their own advantageous fighter planes and battlefields, the luxury family in eastern Zhejiang can almost only passively respond.

Sun Zhuang's legs were injured in many places. Even if he wore an extra layer of inner armor in the scale armor, he still shot through many heavy crossbow arrows. Fortunately, the meat did not penetrate deeply, so Zhang Gou sent someone to forcefully drag him off the battlefield and bandage the wound. . At this time, Sun Zhuang was unable to stand up and sat on the soft couch, watching the brutal battlefield that was dyed purple with blood in the afternoon. My QT room is open!
