Lord of the House

(Second more)

The left wing is the guard camp of the Danluo king's family. It is led by Li Ji, the son of the Danluo king. Under the fierce attack of the enemy's horses and soldiers like a prairie fire, they can't resist, and they are retreating steadily...

Zhao Hu's formation is a hollow square formation. The strategist is good at speaking, but it is true and true. The hollow area in the middle of the formation is strange and empty.

Once there are defenders who can't support it, they retreat to fill the hollow area in the middle of the formation, and the whole formation becomes rigid and heavy.

Obviously, the enemy generals also saw the weakness of the Huaidong Army's left flank. Even if Zhao Hu put his reserve forces into the left flank in batches and wanted to hold and open the left flank, the enemy army would continue to wade through the shallow water filled with pebbles. The ditch, throw troops to the left flank, to destroy the left flank in one go, and then collapse the entire defense formation of the Huaidong reinforcements.

When it was in crisis, Zhao Hu could only go into battle in armor. He had only half of the battalion in reserve.

The Danluo royal guard camp on the left wing is entangled by the enemy, and it may collapse at any time. Within a narrow radius, the reserve forces cannot reach the enemy in the fighting zone on the left wing, which only makes the left wing more bloated and sluggish. .

When the left wing was likely to collapse at any time, in order to avoid getting involved, Zhao Hu could only order other troops and horses to forcibly deploy outwards, widening the distance from the left wing, and even more intentionally involving all the enemy troops in the chaos—— Even if Ge Changgen couldn't lead his troops to attack from the side and back in time, Zhao Hu had to fight Chen Zhihu's partial division to lose both sides, so as to give Gao Zongting the necessary time to retreat in Dengzhou.

Speaking of experience on the battlefield, Gao Yi is more sophisticated than Zhao Hu. He clearly saw Zhao Hu's intention, that is, ordered the cavalry that was stalking in the front line to retreat and keep a distance...

The speed at which cavalry withdraws from the battlefield, non-infantry can catch up.

Once the distance was widened and there was room for the subsequent cavalry to charge, Gao Yi did not hesitate to put the most elite 400 cavalry in his hand, who had not yet been put into the battlefield to accumulate physical strength, into the battlefield, and abandoned the bow and crossbow. The Huaidong Army, which spread out and dispersed in formation, launched a direct charge.

Zhao Hu held the border rope in one hand and rushed forward with his horse. The left and right foot armors gathered around him, forming a tight formation of people crowding and people facing each other. Snow-white swords and spears formed a wall of swords and swords. Be prepared to withstand the onslaught of enemy horses.

When they collided with the enemy cavalry, countless people had broken bones and broken flesh. They used their flesh, strong armor, swords, and spears to intercept the enemy cavalry more than ten steps away from Zhao Hu...

The enemy soldiers rode on horseback, commanding a commanding position, slashing left and right with their swords, and stabbing back and forth with their spears, taking full advantage. However, this advantage is far less than that of the enemy's horses and horses, and the back and forth interspersed blows are sharp.

The Huaidong infantry just lowered their heads to block with shields, cut with knives, and stabbed with spears.

Once it is blocked, even if the enemy pawns on horseback, they will not be able to take advantage of horseback to maneuver, and it will turn into a **** and deadly battle. Close to the distance, the enemy soldiers are riding on horseback, and the lance is weak, and it is difficult to slash the neck under the iron helmet and the iron face with a knife.

When the enemy cavalry saw that a charge could not be made, it pulled back, leaving dozens of dead bodies and broken limbs. Relying on the horses to run fast, they quickly opened up the distance and made a second charge.

Zhao Hu's left and right are all guards from the Haidong Xingying House, and it is the Huaidong elite who Lin Fu left to Zhao Hu to deter Haidong.

If everyone forgets death, the army will naturally become stronger. However, in order for everyone to forget death, in addition to strict discipline, everyone must be ashamed and timid to retreat, from the main general to the low-level military attache to the ordinary soldiers.

If soldiers are said to be flesh and blood, then the military attachés at the grassroots level are the backbone and skeleton supporting the army. When other armies in the world used **** battles to forge their backbones, Huaidong used war training schools to systematically cultivate their backbones.

In such a melee, Zhao Hu riding on horseback has a stronger symbolic meaning, just like a flag, his flag will not fall, and many military officers will lead their troops around him, and they would rather die than retreat, like a rock. The enemy soldiers also know his identity, so close to the battlefield, the enemy soldiers on horseback can shoot arrows at him.

Zhao Hu didn't dismount to dodge either, he only covered his face with his left arm, which was covered with a gauntlet, and he didn't care about the arrows shot on him. Although Zhao Hu wears fish scale armor, his hands and calves cannot be shielded, and at such a close distance, there is a weakness in the connection between the scales and armor. When the enemy soldiers search for him with dozens of arrows and shoot them, Zhao Hu is also in an instant. The right palm was shot through by arrows, and three arrows were hung on the scales and penetrated into the flesh.

The main general is so desperate, and it also inspires the blood of the troops.

Chi Yuanji was born in a family of pirates. He was not good at horseback riding, nor did he ride a horse in battle. He only had people carry his banner. He held a big sword and rushed out from the right flank. The sharp point, slammed into the side corner of the enemy cavalry that was charging for the second time, and with Zhao Hu on the left and right, the enemy cavalry's attack was caught in the middle and could not be unfolded.

Even the left wing, which had been beaten down by defeats just now, seems to have been beaten with blood, and it has the potential to stabilize its position.

Gao Yi's expression was heavy. He knew that the Huaidong Army was not weaker than himself, and that the generals were not afraid of death. He knew that this battle was difficult, and he was fully prepared, but he could defeat the left wing and defeat the army in one fell swoop. The support of Huaidong's reinforcements, but because the main commander desperately led the front and rushed out, he could grab the victory opportunity with his hand, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye. How can he be reconciled?

In Gao Yi's opinion, the Tiger Army's Qianfeng Battalion is the strongest army in the world, but the Huaidong Army's infantry and the Qianfeng Battalion's elite light cavalry, with a similar number of soldiers, can only break through a distance of less than ten paces, and he is called Gao Yi I felt very uncomfortable. I regretted that I only wanted to be brisk when I set off, and I didn't bring hundreds of sets of riding armor...

Although the cavalry would be subject to many restrictions when playing a heavily defended formation, when the formation spreads out, the formation is scattered, and the positions are floating, the cavalry of the forward battalion cannot break through the cavalry. Such a result cannot be accepted by Gao Yi.

Seeing that the weak right wing of the Huaidong Army also began to fight desperately, Gao Yi hesitated whether to throw the last of his troops into the battlefield to entangle the right wing of the Huaidong Army. However, in this way, even if the victory is finally won, the casualties will be extremely heavy, and the ability to continue to attack Dengzhou City will be lost.

A strong wind suddenly blew from west to east, and for a while the dust flew away, and Gao Yi was greatly excited.

Weather is one of the most critical factors in war, and it is a great advantage to successfully fight headwinds.

The wind was blowing with sand and stones, and the Huaidong Army was blinded by the blowing.

However, Gao Yi was not happy for a long time. There was a sound of killing from the side. He turned his head to look and gave the gale a sip. The fine sand and stone hit his face and it hurt.

Gao Yi's heart skipped a beat, and only then did he realize that Huaidong had an ambush on the flank, and he turned around and attacked their weak spot - the wind was very strong, carrying rocks and sand, and even if the horse turned its head, it would cause wind and sand. Lost and wandering around, not to mention how many ambush soldiers the Huaidong Army raided this time, this battle is impossible.

Rather than questioning Yan Hu, it was more important to save his own life now. It's not that Gao Yi is timid. When there is no chance of winning a battle, there is no point in persevering. Gao Yi immediately grabbed the rope and led his troops to the southwest corner of Kongdang to escape.

There were only four or five hundred cavalry soldiers on the edge of the battlefield, and they could withdraw from the battlefield in time with Gao Yi; the other soldiers and horses were entangled with the Huaidong Army, how could it be so easy to withdraw if they wanted to?

After finally waiting for Ge Changgen to lead his troops to attack from the side and back, Zhao Hu led the four battalions to beat the remnants of the battalion.

This is the case with soldiers, when Gao Yi retreats, all the cavalry go away, people flee and horses are defeated, and there is no enough safety distance to open up, and it is impossible to clean up the mess. The cavalry escaped fast, except for being disoriented by the strong wind, the losses were not very heavy. The worst part was that the part of the troops who dismounted and attacked the left flank of the Huaidong Army ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ themselves entered the inner side, there were no horses, give After being crushed, I could only drill into the mountains, run half a beat slower, stabbed with a knife, and immediately flew into the sky...

It was not until the gale ceased at dusk that Zhao Hu ordered his ministries to gather at Qijiaji to gather up troops, treat casualties, and count the results of the battle.

In this battle, the number of casualties of Haidong soldiers and horses is increasing. If Ge Changgen arrives a stick of incense late, Zhao Hu is not sure that he will be able to hold on and not collapse.

The enemy army also left 500 corpses, plus the rout and the disabled, the number of soldiers must not be less than 1,000.

This battle did not take any advantage in casualties, but it definitely cannot be regarded as a lose-lose situation.

Haidong soldiers and horses defended the Qijiaji, and repulsed and disabled Chen Zhihu's partial division. Compared with annihilating the number of enemy soldiers, the core and primary goal of this battle is to gain time to organize the retreat of people and materials from Dengzhou.

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

Gao Yi retreated for more than 30 miles, threw off the pursuers, and then stopped to clean up the mess. At dusk, he gathered less than 800 people-compared to the cheating defeat under Qingzhou City. This defeat is really called Gao Yi's pain. Cut to the bone.

The generals persuaded Gao Yi to return to the west bank of the Jiaolai River and join the main force; how could Gao Yi have the face to see Chen Zhihu at this time? Gritting his teeth, he ran back and gathered some remnants. He learned that the Huaidong reinforcements were stationed in the Qijiaji camp. He knew that with these remnants in his hand, he had no hope of capturing Dengzhou City. It can block the passage back to Dengzhou by Zhao Zhen's department in Pingdu.

If he can force Zhao Zhen's subordinates to surrender, it can be regarded as a redemption.

With this idea in mind, Gao Yi led his troops to retreat to the south, avoiding the main Huaidong reinforcements stationed in Qijiaji, and ransacked a village to supply food and grass at night.
