The sun is bright red, illuminating the mottled wilderness.The snow that had not melted the eve on the earth was left on the ground, and the land with its expression and endless crowds became spots.
Xue Chongxun stood at a high place and looked down at the battlefield. There were crowds of people standing in front of the group as a square line. The generals riding horses ran back and forth in front of the camp, with drums, trumpets, shouts, and shouts from each battalion, which were very lively and drifting around with the cold wind blowing towards them.
The environment at this time is not very beneficial to the Chang'an Army. The sun affects sight in the east and is headwind; however, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, and it is obviously more horsepower and manpower when attacking from a high position.
This world is very fair, how can you take up all the benefits?
There were more than 10,000 troops on the front line, with about 60 regiments of infantry and cavalry battle formations. After the formation was spread out, the land was several miles wide.
Xue Chongxun, who is located in the central army, couldn't see clearly the battle formation at the corner, and the people in the distance were as small as ants.
The front line of troops was lined up with more than 12,000 Right Army troops, and there were also baggage troops behind...
Xue Chongxun was dispatched this time and did not arrange any troops to harass other places. His consideration was to concentrate all his strength to launch a blatant blow to the main force of the Luoyang Army.
The iron armor was as vast as the clouds, and the number of people on the opposite side was not less than that on this side. The two sides gathered for more than half a mile.
When Xue Chongxun first saw tens of thousands of troops on the same battlefield, he didn't expect that he could even place such a big place.
He thought to himself that the wars recorded in historical books often cost hundreds of thousands of people, so how big is it?
Such a war was probably defeated by the Bianjiao. The central army didn't know for a long time, so it was impossible to see it at first glance.
Perhaps this war can be used as a turning point in history. Xue Chongxun thought that he would have a deep and profound feeling when he personally visited a major event. In fact, he had no feelings at the moment, but he was emotionally excited to see such a big scene.
He used to think that before the war, he should gallop between the army and shout some exciting slogans, such as defending the country and fighting for XX, but this is a civil war...
What should I say about the meaningless fighting between the same clan, for power, wealth and survival?
Besides, if there are so many people, how many times will it take to shout back and forth when they ride on horseback and back?
At this time, Zhang Wulang, who was standing on the right, pointed to the east and said: Xue Lang, everyone in front of the enemy was wearing neat armor, and the formation was neat, so they must have arranged the elite Luoyang garrison in the front; but the people behind were not fully clothed and the company commander did not have enough weapons, or the temporary recruitment of Ding Zhuang and the aristocratic family were recruited to follow.This arrangement emphasizes weight and is less important than weight before, and is a tiger's first and a tiger's first and a tiger's last.Please concentrate the cavalry of the Right Army in the south. If the frontal combat progresses slowly later, the horse team will detour from the south to attack the enemy side and back and forth.
Xue Chongxun raised his hand and said: This time, Goro is in charge of his full command. Just let go of your hands, so there is no need to talk to me.
After saying that, he shouted loudly to the lower body, all the generals of this battle were ordered by General Zhang Wulang of Jinwu Guard, and they must not be disobedient!
After hearing this, Zhang Wulang looked relieved and nervous, and granting military power was also a responsibility.
He took a long breath, and after a moment he took down a black flag and threw it down, then shouted to the guard below: The command, General Yin Ci, the Right Army, assembled the Right Army cavalry on the south side, waiting for the order to transfer.
A knight got off the horse and picked up the flag, repeated it loudly, and then grabbed the black flag and left quickly.
After a little while, the camp gradually stabilized, and the forward light cavalry retreated one after another.
The battle formation became much quieter, standing steadily on the ground like huge armored equipment, motionless. Only the generals riding horses shuttled back and forth between the camps, and everything was ready.
Zhang Wulang turned his head and looked at Xue Chongxun, and Xue Chongxun said: Just give orders.
Zhang Wulang let out a sigh, raised his right hand and shouted: The whole army is moving forward!
Dongdongdongdongdong... The command cart beat seven long five short drums, and the surrounding drums were immediately beaten, and the crowd like the Black Sea began to slowly move forward.
The sea of people on the opposite side was still motionless, and the arrangement was similar to that on both sides. The Tang army on both sides had the same tactics as the ones, but the Luoyang army lacked horses, and at first glance they were all infantry.
The army walked forward for a hundred or two hundred steps, and soon the arrow feathers were flying in front of them. The light infantry on both sides began to attack with bows and arrows, but the distance was still far, and most of the arrows fell on the snow in the middle.
After a while, the torrent of steel stopped again and the arrows stopped.
After a brief pause, Zhang Wulang saw that the other party had no intention of attacking, so he ordered the central army to take the lead in launching an attack.
...A cavalry danced the red flag with iron armor, ran through the gap between the regiment camp, shouting: General, the left army central defender, attack!Let's order...
The captains of the school drew their swords and pointed at the front and shouted: Go forward!There were shouts burst out from the camp, and the tides of people were rising one after another, as if they were boiling in an instant.
The cross-section of each battalion was fifty people, and the front was light infantry. While shouting to sing courage with the crowd, they stepped on the main team to slam the drums and thrust the courage to move forward.
The battalions in front barely maintained a line when advancing, but the cross-section was too wide to be uniform, and the battalions were slightly uneven.The troops used arrows and crossbows. When they were 150 steps away from the enemy, the front army fired a volley of crossbows as soon as the gongs and drums sounded. Only the sound of the thumping strings sounded, countless arrows broke through the air, and hundreds or thousands of arrow feathers flew into the air together like raindrops.
After the light soldiers fired the crossbow, they buried their heads while walking. Some of their fingers were trembling. They just lowered their heads and didn't dare to look up. They were afraid.
Because the opponent is also a Luoyang garrison with similar equipment, the crossbow range is more than 150 steps, and the tactics are equivalent. If you shoot arrows here, you will also fight back...
You can even think of arrows flying over with your toes in a while. They don’t even have a piece of armor on them. Only God knows whether they will be shot or not.
Sure enough, in an instant, the sound of the arrows approached, and the thunder came like hail.
Screams rang everywhere, and people fell down one after another. The front became increasingly uneven, but it did not stop the pace of progress.
After a while, the forward shot another round of volleys. After this shot, everyone walked back and walked back from the gap between the sword and shield hands. Seeing the rain of arrows flying, the sword and shield hands hurriedly raised their shield to cover the upper side.
The arrow had no eyes and was washed indiscriminately. The sword shield held a hook, hammer, and a heavy knife in the right hand, and a ball of shield in the left hand, which could not cover the whole body. The armor-piercing arrow pierced the armor and stabbed it in. Very few of the arrows were fatal, most of whom could not die, and they were just crying and screaming there and screaming.
Some people were shot in the queue one after another, but the proportion in the entire army was not large, and they did not retreat. The infantry queue still maintained its pace of progress, and the drums covered the crying and moaning.
At this time, few people were happy to see death, and most of them looked pale and trembling.Don’t say that men are timid, and it is already a great courage to overcome fear and move forward.
When the infantry reached sixty steps, the crossbowmen gathered the crossbow and shot with their bows and arrows.After a while, nearly twenty steps, even the voices and appearances of the enemy soldiers on the opposite side were clearly visible.
kill!Kill... The team members shouted, the thousands of troops shouted, the light soldiers took their bows and arrows, picked up the sword and rod and ran over.
The Zhanfeng team behind him ran the fastest at this time, picked up the sword, spear and stick, ran in front from the gap between the light soldiers like a wall, and the light infantry also rushed away.
The two sides fought each other in close combat, and the bright swords and guns shone with the beautiful sunshine, blood and flesh flying everywhere.
...Xue Chongxun looked ahead in the central army and saw a mess of people and seas of people connecting, running and fighting, and people rolling and crawling.
Zhang Wulang turned his head and said: I cannot repel the enemy for the time being, I will change the horse soldiers.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the infantrymen in front ran back one after another. Those who didn't know thought they had been defeated.
But after running back, the people stopped and started to complete the team, as if calm; at the same time, the horse soldiers located in the rear came out together and ran away.
The enemy troops retreated in front of them as if they had agreed with them, and they changed a group of people to fight immediately.
On the battlefield, people and horses were running around. They seemed to be random, but there was a way to advance and retreat, and they should retreat and advance.
The two sides fought in rotation for a long time, and continued.
Xue Chongxun thought to himself, if it was a melee, he would be exhausted even if he had been fighting for so long.
At this time, Zhang Wulang said again: There are very few enemy horse soldiers, just look at this jumping attack. If you can break the formation, you can win. If the battle is unfavorable, you must let the right-wing horse soldiers circumvent and attack forward and backward.
Xue Chongxun said: If it doesn’t work, can there be a trick?
Zhang Wulang said awkwardly: I had to retreat and repair it and make plans.
The two of them talked for a while, and Zhang Wulang fell silent, quietly observed the situation on the battlefield for a while, and suddenly shouted: Passing the order, General Yin led the right army cavalry to attack from the right wing and attack the side and back!
Xue Chongxun looked south and could see many cavalry running, but it was too far away and couldn't see clearly the situation and didn't know how they fought.
The ears were also very noisy, and there were still fighting in front of me. The snow was covered with black corpses. The messy battlefield was no longer as spectacular as it was at the beginning, as if it was going to the market.
He held his hand on the railing and waited. If he hadn't seen the fierce running of the people and horses in the distance, he wouldn't have realized that it was a critical moment of the war, and he had no feeling of nervousness at all. He was helpless about his numbness.
After a long time, a cavalry rushed over and ran down to his knees and said, "Report to General, the Right Army cavalry stormed the enemy's formation and defeated the enemy's rear wings."
It worked.Zhang Wulang turned his head and said to Xue Chongxun, showing a relaxed expression on his face, and then shouted: Order, the left army and right guard attack with all their might!
After a while, the crowds in the south also started to move, and the battlefield became more and more lively.
Xue Chongxun realized that he might be going to win, but strangely, he still didn't see the gratifying scene like a tsunami and a mountain collapse. The place that could be seen clearly in front was still as messy as before, and the darkness in the south could not see clearly.
But soon he waited for a significant change, and saw the enemy troops in the southeast direction swaying and deforming, gradually becoming random.
Xue Chongxun stood at a high place and looked down at the battlefield. There were crowds of people standing in front of the group as a square line. The generals riding horses ran back and forth in front of the camp, with drums, trumpets, shouts, and shouts from each battalion, which were very lively and drifting around with the cold wind blowing towards them.
