Chapter 256 254 [Swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger]

From early morning to noon, the battle on Leize Plain had lasted for more than two hours. Except for the two cavalrymen who had just arrived, everyone else had reached the double critical point of physical and mental strength.

This is still based on the premise that the infantry will not be engaged in battle all the time.

Regardless of the four main forces of the Huaizhou Army or the infantry of the Jing Army, these armies, which can be called strong armies in today's era, will ensure that the soldiers take turns to fight on the battlefield, otherwise no one will be able to sustain it for too long. This is an excellent The commanding ability that a head coach must possess.

Pei Sui and others can do this, and the women Lu Huan and Liu Ke are equally good. Both sides are trying their best to penetrate the other side's defense line while trying their best to maintain the combat effectiveness of their own soldiers.

Even so, the infantry of both armies were exhausted and could only rely on their tenacious will to continue fighting.

If you look down from above, you can roughly see that the plain battlefield at this moment is divided into two parts. On one side are tens of thousands of infantry fighting together, and on the other side are more than 10,000 cavalry who have just adjusted their formation and are preparing for the second collision.

There is another exception, and that is the cavalry of the Ruishi Battalion who got a moment of rest.

If it were another general, he might choose to join forces with Feiyu Camp, and then try to use the advantage in strength to completely defeat the main cavalry of the Jing Army. This is the easiest decision to make.

But when the two cavalry collided for the first time, Lu Chen had already discovered that the Jingjun cavalry was not only highly skilled in tactics, but also contained a large number of masters and veterans, making them more powerful than the two thousand cavalry he had defeated previously.

This means that even if he and Li Bingxue join forces, they may not be able to defeat the opponent's cavalry in a short time, and may even become entangled. This will not have a decisive impact on the outcome of the entire war, so he forced himself to be quiet. Coming down, on the one hand, the cavalry under his command, who had been fighting for a long time, could have some breathing time, and on the other hand, they were carefully observing the situation on the battlefield.

At this time, nearly one-third of the Jing Army's infantry counterattacked the Feiyun Army, while the rest were trying their best to resist the siege of other Huaizhou Army. Both sides had very similar ideas, which was to cut off one of the enemy's fingers, and then trigger The opponent's entire front was defeated.

In the extremely complicated and chaotic scene, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly stopped moving and stopped at a corner of the distant battlefield.

He leaned over and touched the slender neck of his mount, and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work."

Then he rode forward, not toward the southwest of the battlefield, but toward the corner in the east.

In such a short period of time, the Ruishi Battalion Cavalry will definitely not be able to return to its full strength. They only had time to take out the prepared dried meat from their arms, tear off a piece and throw it into their mouths. Then they took off the water bag from the side of the horse's belly and drank two gulps. Then they clenched the weapons in their hands and followed the flag next to the general, urging them to move. The mount accelerates forward.

When the Ruishi Battalion cavalry began to charge, the people who cared most were not Qingyu Huaijin and Bali Hai, nor Xiao Wangzhi and Yuchigui who were far to the south of the battlefield, but standing on the lookout car with red eyes and dry lips. The daughter of Lu Huan.

Because the distance was relatively far, he was not sure about the direction of the cavalry at first, so he naturally expected the other party to go to the rear of Feiyu Camp and start a melee with his own main cavalry.

On the flat land, Lu Chen led more than two thousand horsemen and galloped. The strong wind cut his face like a knife blade. His expression remained calm and determined, his eyes staring at the battlefield in the distance.

Feeling that the fatigue in his body was becoming more and more obvious, Lu Chen bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to become more conscious.

After seeing clearly the direction of the charge of the Rui Shi Battalion cavalry, a look of despair appeared on the female Lu Huan's face.

After fighting so far, he has done everything a commander should do, but the infantry and cavalry ambushing in the rear have been targeted by the enemy. At this time, even if he is familiar with the art of war, he cannot change his fate.

He could only watch helplessly as Lu Chen led his troops forward in a sudden attack, like a sharp long knife inserted into the weakest point of Jingjun's infantry formation!

That was the northeastern part of the battlefield, between the infantry of the Huaizhou Ruishi Battalion and the Taixing Army.

After more than two hours of hard fighting, neither the Jing Army nor the Huaizhou Army could continue to maintain a complete formation, but this does not mean that there are loopholes everywhere. On the contrary, it is not easy to find loopholes.

Lu Chen found such a flaw, so he led the attack without hesitation.

When the infantry cannot form a formation to resist, how can they deal with the huge impact of the cavalry?

Lu Chen grasped the spear tightly with both hands, leapt up towards the loose formation of Jingjun's infantry on the opposite side, swung his spear across the weapons, and let out the most powerful roar from his chest.

"kill!"

The sharp tip of the spear drew a line of blood, and three or four Jingjun infantry were killed by Lu Chen's gun.

The flaw has been discovered, keep moving forward!

The Rui Shiying cavalry swarmed in and followed Lu Chen into Jingjun's main formation, like a hidden dragon entering the sea or an eagle striking the sky!

In the Taixing army formation, Kang Yanxiao, who noticed this scene, suddenly let out a burst of heroic laughter and roared: "Soldiers, kill!"

"kill!"

When the comrades of the Rui Shi Battalion entered the Jing Army's main formation from the side, and the enemy in front became obviously panicked, the soldiers of the Lai'an Army, led by Kang Yanxiao, who fought hard and fiercely, used their last strength and strode forward, tearing apart the cavalry. The gap continued to expand, and then quickly spread to both sides.

Lu Chen's face was covered with blood, and he had no time to wipe it off at this moment. He could only continue to move forward with his gun, killing the enemies in front of him at the cost of almost burning his own life.

Pei Sui and Duan Zuozhang immediately noticed that Jing Jun's main formation was loose, and they took their generals with their weapons to launch the final attack.

After Lu Chen found the key node that broke the situation, the situation on the battlefield instantly became clear. Like the ice and snow that began to melt under the spring sunshine, and like the green grass that fell one after another in the summer breeze, Jingjun's infantry began to appear from point to point. Massive chaos.

Nu Luhuan stared blankly at the scene in front of her.

Not to mention him at this moment, even if Qing Yugong himself comes in person, there is absolutely no way he can reverse the defeat!

This general, who had high hopes from Qing Yugong and had planned to make him the head coach of one side in the future, gave the last order with red eyes after a brief absence of concentration.

"Call the cavalry and ask them to retreat immediately. We will do our best to cut off the rear!"

Everyone around looked at the commander in the observation car, some looked terrified, and some had tears in their eyes.

There are Huaizhou troops on all sides. Our formation can no longer be maintained. More and more gaps are appearing, and the Southern Qi cavalry that has entered the formation is rushing towards the Chinese army. At this moment, they knew very well the meaning of the word "duan".

The only option is to fight to the death.

Several heralds wiped the tears from their eyes and strode towards the drummer. A moment later, a burst of solemn drumbeats resounded between heaven and earth.

Lu Huan, a female, stepped off the lookout car, took her weapon from the soldiers, and said heavily but firmly: "Give me the order, everyone will break out and fight, and every one who can get away will be one!"

The soldiers looked at the general who was full of death wish, gritted their teeth and said: "I am willing to fight to the death with the general!"

"Then fight to the death!"

Nu Lu Huan dropped these four words and turned around and walked towards the cavalry led by Lu Chen.

At this moment, the large formation of Jingjun's infantry had been completely shattered, divided and surrounded by tens of thousands of Huaizhou troops, and fell into a desperate situation where they were fighting independently and could not break out.

In the southwest of the battlefield, when the sound of drums reached his ears, Bali Hai was suddenly shocked. He turned his head with difficulty to look at the battlefield over there, and then said to Qingyu Huaijin: "Your Highness, withdraw your troops!"

The two cavalry have just completed the second round of collision, and there is still no winner. Feiyu Camp has a slight advantage.

Qingyu Huaijin's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and said, "No! We have to cover the retreat of the infantry!"

"Your Highness!"

In desperation, Bali Hai grabbed her horse's head and said in panic: "We won't be able to leave if we don't leave!"

Qingyu Huaijin looked into the distance. She could only see the chaotic fighting and could not see the young general who she hated so deeply. However, she knew that the defeat of the infantry must be caused by the other party.

She looked up at the sky and suddenly let out a shrill cry.

Seeing this, Bali Hai did not dare to hesitate any longer and shouted angrily: "Retreat!"

The Jingjun cavalry had now reached their initial position and had not yet turned south, so after Balihai gave the order, they could retreat directly to the northwest.

Fei Yuying was completing the turn. When Li Bingxue saw the movements of Jing Jun's cavalry, she immediately made a decision in her heart. How could she miss this opportunity to chase down and beat up the drowned dog along the way? So she quickly ordered: "Catch up!"

The Jingjun cavalry was forced to leave the battlefield, and Feiyu camp took advantage of the situation to cover up the attack.

Lu Chen, who was in the infantry formation of Jingjun at this moment, did not notice this scene. In fact, he did not care about the victory or defeat of the cavalry at all, because he had absolute trust in Li Bingxue, which meant that he could give his back to her on the battlefield. of trust.

Feiyuying will definitely be able to face the Jingjun cavalry head-on, and his duty is to completely establish a victory!

The Huaizhou army was like mercury pouring down the ground. After completing the division and encirclement, all the soldiers showed no mercy at all. They spared no infantry of the Jing army who stubbornly resisted, and killed all the soldiers until the ground was stained red with blood.

Even though they were exhausted physically and mentally, their morale was getting higher and higher. On the contrary, after Nu Lu Huan gave the order, the despair of the Jingjun infantry shrouded everyone's heads until it completely swallowed up their bodies and minds.

Some people choose to die together, while others choose to kneel down and beg for surrender.

When the first Jingjun infantry to surrender appeared, similar situations began to spread around the battlefield.

On the last day of the thirteenth year of Jianwu, many people fell to the ground on the Leize Plain, known as the ancient battlefield, and could never wake up. Among them were soldiers of the Huaizhou Army and soldiers of the Jing Army.

There were some people kneeling on the ground with their hands raised above their heads. They were all members of the Jinglian tribe.

There are more people standing proudly on this land, and they are all Huaizhou men.

The flags of Huaizhou armies fluttered in the wind.

When the commander-in-chief's flag moved to the center of the battlefield, Xiao Wangzhi and Yu Chigui walked closer and saw Lu Chen, covered in blood, standing in the crowd. The spear stood beside him. In his right hand, he held Lu Chen, the general of Jing's army. Huan's head.

Pei Sui, Duan Zuozhang, Song Shifei, Kang Yanxiao and others all came here. Each of them was injured, but their faces were filled with expressions that seemed to be crying and smiling.

Lu Chen took a deep breath and suddenly raised the head.

"Wan Sheng!"

On the Lei Ze Plains, the cheers of several soldiers of the Ruishi Battalion suddenly rang out, and then spread in all directions. The rest responded one after another. These majestic voices gathered together to form an earth-shattering heroic song of victory!

Everyone's bodies were trembling, they cheered and jumped excitedly, and kept shouting syllables of unknown meaning in their mouths.

In this battle, 18,000 Jingjun infantry were destroyed, more than 12,000 of them were killed by the formation, and more than 5,000 surrendered.

History calls it a great victory for Leize!
