Chapter 470 Battle of Luo Rong (2)

8days ago Historical fiction 7
Wang Bin's cavalry flew past the enemy's formation. In the smoke and dust, the infantry formations on the front of the two armies were only dozens of steps apart.

On the battlefield, the cannons were loudly sounded, and the government troops stood still, and the bowl-mouthed cannons were set up in the rear, like spittoons, and cast iron cannons were fired together with arrows.

The Han Wang Army was in front of the crossbowmen, and they also began to shoot flat attacks dozens of steps away.

The huge noise on the west bank of the river was shaken by the earth. Between the launch of artillery and arrows, countless screams and shouts filled the air.

The ground was even more smoky, as if it was shrouded in haze and a storm was coming.

The woods and houses in the distance were also shrouded in smoke and became looming.

The closest place between the two armies is fifty or sixty steps away. The bowl-mouth gun behind the official army can only be fired, otherwise the iron ball will easily fall out of the horn-like gun; solid shells fall into the Han Wangjun formation and smash a pit.

The bows and arrows shot behind the formation are farther away and their lethality is far less than those of the strong bows and hard crossbows shot close to the top.

After a while, when the sergeants in front of the Han Wang Army who were holding crossbowmen, mountain guns, and copper muskets gradually approached, the various phalanxes of the official army finally began to shake, and they were adjusting their formation...

Not long ago, the cavalry of the Han King Army launched an attack that seemed to be a rushing formation.

In front of the official army, there were several large arrays lined up in a very dense formation, with about two or three thousand people standing camps to resist the enemy.

In this formation, the front rows are mainly spearmen and gun shield soldiers, and people also get close to form dense queues to deal with the impact of the cavalry.

However, after the infantry battalion of the Han Wang Army approached, the dense camp of the official army became very unfavorable!The muskets and crossbows in front of the Han Wang Army will launch long-range strikes on the official army camp.

The frontal firepower of the official army is not as good as the layout of the Han Wang army; they dare not rush over to fight quickly, otherwise such a dense formation would be difficult to advance quickly and would easily fall apart.

So the official army began to separate the formations of the hundred households and prepare to fight back.

At this moment, a voice from the Han Wang army shouted: Kill!

In an instant, the shouts became louder!

The musketeers and archers in front of the Han King's Army retreated from the gap between the square formation, and the melee infantry attacked the official army in a horizontal lineup.

The two armies quickly joined forces, and the sound of killing shocked the sky and the earth.

The terrifying screams and hissings echoed in the air. People a hundred steps away could also feel the tragic tragedy in it and smell the faint smell of barbaric blood!

The two armies fought fiercely for a while, and the official army began to retreat. The formations showed signs of looseness, and the defeat seemed to be inverted!

But in the woods and rivers to the east, a stream of official infantry were advancing westward.The official army sent a team of Quan Yong to reinforce the battlefield in the middle.

Wang Bin led the three-storm cavalry and had already run to the left wing of the army, between the front battalion participating in the battle and the second batch of central camp staging formations arranged behind.

He did not rush to dispatch cavalry again to pursue the defeated enemy front battalion.

Because behind the slope in the distance are woods and rivers, it is not conducive to cavalry movement.

What's more, the enemy's Quan Gong team is advancing, and the enemy troops that have just been mobilized have not yet entered the battlefield; the Quan Gong team's firearm must be fully filled and prepared, people's physical strength is not lost, and the formation is rigorous and neat.

It will never be so easy to attack them in the woods at this time.

Wang Bin now believes that Chen Zhen, who led the infantry battalion, should let the front battalion retreat one after another, reorganize the troops, and then face the enemy's front-line Quan Yong team.

As expected, not long after, the Han Wang Army in front had stopped pursuing.

The most important thing is that Wang Bin discovered that the official army did not dispatch any cavalry!Where are their cavalry?

Wang Bin looked into the distance and finally saw some cavalrymen moving northward on the other side of the river in the northeast direction.

The main force of Wu Gao's army was marching southeast, but the cavalry was mobilized in the opposite direction, and Wang Bin suddenly felt something bad.

At this moment, the personal soldiers came to report: Report to the Governor, our scouts found a large number of enemy cavalry five or six miles southwest and were marching north!

Wang Bin's heart suddenly skipped a beat!

At this moment, Wang Bin suddenly realized.

Although there are paddy fields on both sides of this place, it is difficult to advance the army for a while; the weather is also good, the sight is wide, and any mobilization of the enemy is difficult to hide... But the cavalry can use the advantages of short-term speed to encircle the Han Wang Army from a further distance!

Wu Gao has an advantage, with many soldiers, and even if he only uses cavalry, his strength is not inferior to Wang Bin's vanguard infantry and cavalry.

Wang Bin was suddenly full of regret. Why didn’t he expect the possibility of such a simple deployment?Mainly because Wu Gao was quite calm and had no movement before the war started!

Immediately send an order to retreat to the woods to the north!Wang Bin said to the generals around him.

The general said: Governor, it is too dangerous to retreat in front of the formation!

Wang Bin didn't like hesitation, so he immediately decided to say: We had just won for a while, and our morale was very high, and the main force had not participated in the battle yet, so it was still time to retreat!Ask Chen Zhen to stabilize the camps and retreat slowly.When the official army pursues, elite troops will cooperate with the general's cavalry to counterattack!

Get order!

Wang Bin reached out and touched the dusty dust on his face, then turned his head and said: Mr. Li, immediately rush right (one rush to four hundred cavalry), go to the northwest, see the right chance to block the enemy's horse team!He then pointed to the distance and said, "The forest to the north, walking west along the road to the south of the woods."

A general clasped his fists and said: Get the order!

After a while, a green pennant among the people was the first to leave the place.

At this moment, Wang Bin discovered that on the northeast left wing, some enemy cavalry on the other side of the river were wading across the river!

In that place, on the other side of the river is a large area of ​​harvested rice fields, and the ridges between the paddy fields are just narrow roads.

Wang Bin guessed that the left-wing enemy cavalry wanted to pass through the rice field and come to the left rear of the Han Wang army... Otherwise, what would they do from where they cross the river?

So Wang Bin immediately transferred the cavalry to the left and rushed to two hundred households, led the Yiheng cavalry to the northeast, and used the rice fields to block the enemy cavalry!

The cavalry from all over the place rushed to the designated battlefield one after another, and the sound of horse hooves around them rumbled... a great work.

At this time, the enemy infantry camp in the south really began to pursue. Their front battalion formed several bold columns and lined up to chase the retreating Han Wang army formation.

All cavalry generals, it’s time for us to get on!Wang Bin raised his spear and shouted.

The troops shouted, and the horse soldiers from all over the place began to move one after another.Wang Bin, with his red pennant, was located in front of the center, and everyone started jogging slowly.

The enemy's columns had stopped advancing and were lined up on the spot, and shouts and shouts came from afar.On the edge of the woods by the river, a stream of enemy cavalry gradually appeared in the depths of the dust.

Wang Bin ordered the two horizontal cavalry to rush left and attack the enemy's vanguard in the invasion formation.He personally led the Red Flag Horse Team in the middle and rushed straight to the enemy cavalry.

Cao your mother!Wang Bin roared angrily and pointed his spear at the enemy's horse riding team.

Between a large area of ​​crops and weeds on the edge of the rice fields, war horses were raging, and the sound of rumbling horse hooves and shouting loudly, and the sound of shocking the sky and the earth rose again.

The sound of strings sounded densely, and the black shadows whizzed in the dust.

After a moment, the two cavalry rushed together, and the horses neighed, screamed and metal hitting sounded throughout the four fields. Some war horses could not hold back their speed and could not avoid their opponents, and they bumped violently.

A stream of cavalry rushed around, and a tornado was blew on the ground, and a large stream of dust flew like a vortex.

Wang Bin led his troops back and forth and found that a square formation of the vanguard of the official army over there had collapsed, and the other temporary arrays were also a bit messy.

But the Han Wang Army had a small number of cavalrymen there, so they could only focus on chasing the scattered defeated soldiers nearby.

More enemy infantry battalions to the south are slowly marching up.

The enemy cavalry that had been killed twice by Wang Bin just now was not large; the enemy cavalry did not come up again at this time, and were turning around one after another, retreating between the woods by the river and the camp behind the enemy.

Seeing this, Wang Bin shouted: Mingjin, the cavalry has withdrawn!

The banging bronze ware knocked for a while at a rhythm of three or five. Wang Bin's personal soldiers' red flag was also moving northward, and the horse teams everywhere followed.

On both sides of the official road, many Han Wangjun's bowl-mouth guns, shells and vehicles were abandoned, and some injured soldiers had no time to take them away, and the ground was in a mess.

The prescription arrays are retreating to the official road between the rice fields...

On the edge of a large rice field in the northeast direction, two hundred cavalrymen of the Han Wang army had already dismounted.They set up long horizontal lines and aimed at the enemy's cavalry on the rice fields and ridges to shoot arrows.

The sound of the strings is messy and dense, and the sound never stops.

Some enemy cavalry were squeezed into the water, and the horses were trekking hard in the mud of paddy fields, and the horses were neighing everywhere.The enemy cavalry was shot by bows and arrows from time to time, screaming and falling into the water.

It is difficult for cavalry to leverage force on horseback, and the range and accuracy of bows and arrows are not as good as those who stand on the ground.

The officials also jumped off their horses and fought back with bows and arrows. However, the Han Wang army on the shore was at a loss when they shot the narrow column on the field. Because the column had to suffer double shooting from both sides of the front within the same range.

The riots in the paddy fields were even more unable to gather, and they were trapped in the mud and moved slowly, and the people were struggling with mud and water.

Not long after, the official cavalry in the north retreated.

...Wang Bin's troops temporarily withstood the counterattack of the government army. When the infantry formation gradually retreated from near the official road to the north of the large rice fields, they had already avoided the catastrophe in front of them.

However, once the main force of the cavalry of the South Road official army is completed, the main battalions of Wang Bin's infantry will definitely be surrounded and cannot be afraid of it.

The vanguard of the Han Wangjun was pressed to this place alone.If Wu Gao mobilizes more people to come right away, it is only a matter of time before Wang Bin's army can be destroyed!

No matter how brave a person is, he is always a flesh and blood body.Now Wang Bin has racked his brains to protect himself. Whether more than 10,000 people can survive can only rely on the enemy's decision.
