- The Tang army suddenly came out from behind, which really caused the entire Xu army to be confused for a while.
This heavy rain was already a huge blow to the morale and will of the soldiers, but the sudden appearance of the enemy troops and the situation of being attacked from both sides made the test of the cohesion of an army even more severe.
If it weren't for You Jingwei being a glorious army that fought all the way from Youzhou to Hanzhong, if it hadn't been for this army that had fought dozens of battles in Hanzhong in the past two years and been tempered by blood and fire, Quan Xu's troops would have been defeated long ago. collapsed.
But even so, the exhausted army could not bear to fight anymore. Quan Xu hoped to withdraw his troops, repair them, and regroup before fighting again.
"It's a pity that the military order is like a mountain, and there is no room for even a small lake."
After receiving the order from the Chinese army, Quan Xu didn't understand. He didn't understand why he did this. Did he have to completely consume You Jingwei before he stopped? He even wished he could rush into the Chinese army again and have a fight with Huang Mingliao.
Unfortunately, he also knew that no matter how scrupulous Huang Mingliao was, he would not just sit back and watch him contradict him again and again, so there was no other possibility except that he would lose his head.
On the battlefield, interfering with the commander's determination is a taboo in the military.
So Quan Xu clenched his fist unwillingly, but he had no choice but to loosen it again.
When he returned to the army, he summoned his generals and lectured: "We have a strong enemy in front of us and an ambush behind us. It is a matter of life and death. I won't say any more. The position where people are standing must also be where they die." If anyone dares to let You Jingwei become the first army to lose a battle since the saint ascended the throne, then don't blame me for being unkind."
After the training, Quan Xu left only one battalion of the 48th Army to guard the rear, waiting for the 48th Army to come up and hand over positions, while the 46th Army all charged towards Jiguan Pass.
This time, don¡¯t mention any family background or back-up, just try your best.
Quan Xu himself took the lead in the charge. The entire Forty-sixth Army went crazy and rushed forward without fear of death.
In addition to the pass on the front, the Jiguan Pass defense line is Jiguan Mountain on the right.
Ma Sanbao set up a small village on a platform on the mountainside as a cover for the pass. He would attack the Ming army from the small village every time. The Tang army was condescending, and the Ming army suffered a lot.
This time Quan Xu planned to capture Xiaozhai first and completely remove the biggest threat from the Tang army to the Ming army.
Quan Xu held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other. He bent down and rushed towards the mountain with cat-like steps. After fighting for many days, the stones prepared by the defenders had long been used up, and there was no need to replenish them. This gave the Ming army a good opportunity.
As for the bows and arrows, in this heavy rain, there is no difference.
So this kind of rain is both an obstacle and an opportunity.
The Ming army kept their heads down and rushed forward regardless of casualties. They fell down along the way and used their last breath to climb up. Under this desperate charge, the Ming army quickly rushed to the mountainside.
The Tang army in Xiaozhai was unable to retreat, so they started a hand-to-hand fight with the Ming army.
Soldiers from both sides braved the heavy rain, holding swords and fighting in the rain. Blood washed down continuously along with the heavy rain, and the entire hillside became a river of blood.
In the end, I don¡¯t know how long the fight lasted, but there was no longer a single Tang Army alive in the small village.
Quan Xu was so tired that he sat down on the ground, looking at the Jiguan Pass below, unable to say anything.
After taking Xiaozhai, it is only a matter of time before Jiguan Pass is breached.
On the other side, the 48th Army of the Ming Army also fought with Du Shiyuan's sneak attack.
It has to be said that the raid by Du Shiyuan's death squad was very sharp, and it also caused huge casualties and psychological pressure to the Ming army at the beginning. But I have to admit that the number of five hundred dead soldiers is too small. They can be used as surprise troops. However, if you want to win with only these five hundred people, you must rely on the opponent's general's ability to be average and his troops to collapse after being attacked. The premise.
But it is obvious that You Jingwei is not this kind of army, and they have withstood the test.
???? 强牺  读牺。You Jingwei quickly stabilized his position and even started to counterattack.
So facing the Ming army, which was far more numerous than them, Du Shiyuan quickly overcame them. Although these people were all dead soldiers, they were not afraid of death and marched forward bravely when facing the Ming army, but this was not enough to offset the disadvantage in numbers.
After fighting for almost two quarters of an hour, his troops suffered heavy casualties.
Du Shiyuan has been taking the lead in charging and boosting morale, but this cannot change the outcome of his troops' defeat.
At this time, Chai Shao had been observing the battlefield situation on Zilong Mountain. Seeing that Du Shiyuan was not inferior to the Ming army and was struggling, he immediately ordered eight hundred cavalry in the army to enter the battlefield immediately.
?This is all the cavalry of Chai Shao's tribe, and it is also Chai Shao's last trump card.
Since the defeat in Guanzhong, the Tang army has lost a stable source of war horses. The Ming army in Hehuang and Longyou strictly restricted the flow of horses into Bashu. Although the Qiang in the west can be traded, and horses are produced locally in Bashu, the horses in Bashu are suitable for carrying heavy loads but not for fighting, and the trade with the Western Qiang is a drop in the bucket. Therefore, the number of cavalry in the entire Li Tang Dynasty is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Until now, there are almost no organized cavalry in the entire Li Tang Dynasty.
This time .c*o m Zhang Si. Chai Shao's 20,000 horses can send out 800 cavalry, also because this is a force with mostly veterans.
The cavalry was commanded by the fierce general Pang Xiangshou, who was also a veteran who had followed Li Shimin from Hedong.
After Pang Xiangshou was ordered to leave Yang'an Pass, the entire army followed Du Shiyuan's path and headed straight for the Ming army.
In normal times, eight hundred cavalry can play a huge role. Even eight hundred to one hundred thousand is not impossible, but definitely not in this crazy weather.
At this time, the heavy wind and rain made the Jinniu Road muddy, and the Jinniu Road, which was not a good road in the first place, was even more difficult to pass.
People and horses walking on this kind of road cannot charge at all. Without the advantage of speed, cavalry is not as good as infantry.
When Pang Xiangshou¡¯s troops arrived on the battlefield, their horses were already exhausted. People can endure the wind, rain and mud with their own perseverance, but horses don't have this kind of perseverance.
So after the eight hundred cavalry who came from the surprise attack joined the battlefield, they just fell into a melee with the Ming army and did not perform the surprise attack at all.
As for the melee, the Forty-Eighth Army had nearly 7,000 men, several times as many as the Tang Army. Although the Ming Army was limited by the terrain and could not fully deploy, its combat power was still not comparable to the Tang Army.
Facing the Tang Army¡¯s cavalry, Huang Mingpu did not rush to pull out the cavalry to attack them. Instead, he ordered the spear team to move forward and approach the Tang Army step by step.
This spear team is not an ordinary spear, it is a spear more than three feet long, almost six meters, specially made to restrain the cavalry. With a front shield and a rear spear, it is almost a movable tank.
The cavalry of the Tang Army were not charging fast, and when they bumped into these six-meter-long spears, they were knocked off their horses one by one before they could reach the Ming Army.
Control the big one and control the owl. The cavalry could not open up the situation, and the number of death squads became smaller and smaller. The situation of the Tang army became more and more dangerous
