His heart was shocked. It was not because of his eyes that he had a problem. He seemed to have some premonition. He immediately knelt down and picked up the sword in his hand. He shoveled away a piece of turf like crazy and put his ear directly into the yellow soil. Beads of sweat instantly soaked his entire vest.
He was just stunned for a moment, and even the few scouts around him didn't realize why the detachment leader was behaving in such a strange way. The scout leader had already run up like a puppy whose tail was stepped on. He was a little panicked at first. His expression suddenly turned to panic, "Quickly go, the Luobi people are coming! Go back and report quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave."
After just such a delay, the black line in the eyes of the scouts seemed to be thicker. The captain's words made several scouts suddenly turn pale and sweaty. They turned around and asked stammeringly: "Captain, what are you doing?" Is there any mistake? Didn’t it mean that the Luobi people haven’t even completed their mobilization?”
"You ask me, who am I going to ask? Mom, that bastard, if you don't believe it, why don't you just wait here and let the Luobi people light the sky lanterns for you!" It was too late to explain anything. The scout captain was obviously an experienced man. The veteran, just by listening to the sound on the ground, he could tell that the slightly shaking earth was definitely not formed by a herd of wild horses or livestock. It was at least the sound of tens of thousands of horse hooves that could create such a powerful force, even though they were far apart or even connected. He didn't have time to find out how many, but he knew that this was not the time to find out the number of enemy troops. The first priority at the moment was to pass the news back to the main camp as quickly as possible alive.
Less than half an hour after several mounted scouts ran away for their own lives, the thick line finally turned into a moving low wall, and finally turned into a city wall-like wave of soldiers sweeping in. Every time the thunderous hoofbeats flew to the ground, they would stir up bursts of gray dust. The green carpet-like turf quickly turned into a blur of rotten grass under the influence of countless iron hooves. The entire earth was Countless cavalrymen trembled under the steps of the war giant. The cavalry formations roared one after another, either in front or behind, but kept a certain distance, and rolled past under the invincible momentum.
Although the inner clothing is different, the leather armor on the outside shows a vague light in the sun, and the expressions on the faces are so similar, whether it is a seasoned soldier or a recruit recruited into the camp for the first time. The eyes revealed at this time were so bloodthirsty, looking forward to choosing someone to devour. Forests of swords and spears and flags covering the sky were flying all over the sky, and the roar of the flags was carried by the wind, which seemed extremely harsh at this moment. Just like the undersea dragon soldiers coming on the waves, with the help of the galloping momentum bursting out from the dragon and horse, anything in front of them will be backlogged into powder and turned into ashes.
The long-awaited war has finally arrived!
Song Tianxiong stood in front of the small-scale military map with a gloomy face, staring motionlessly at the thick shoulders and the small black flags on the map. The Luobei people were coming with an unusually fierce force. Almost at the same time, he received them in one breath. Scout reports from several directions only contained one sentence: A large number of Luobei cavalry are coming!
At this time, Song Tianxiong had no time to think about why the Luobei people were able to attack him so boldly. According to the intelligence, they should be busy recruiting soldiers and logistical supplies at this time. It was impossible to have such a fast attack. Reaction speed, what he needs to deal with at this time is the extremely severe situation in front of him. The Luobei people have surrounded him from three sides. The purpose is obvious, that is, to take advantage of their strength to devour his own division.
Back off? The three divisions led by the Lord are still fifteen miles away from themselves. In the eyes of the cavalry, this is just a blink of an eye. I am afraid that if I retreat, it will affect the entire eastern front, Luo Bei is like a maggot attached to the bone. People will inevitably follow, and it is unknown whether a retreat will turn into a rout. The Central Army of the Northwest Army, which lost time to prepare, may be even more unprepared. The entire Eastern Front Army will be in trouble. The depth makes it impossible for the entire cluster to expand.
If we don't retreat, preliminary statistics indicate that the Luobi cavalry already has more than 150,000 troops. With such a huge military strength, but in the unprotected Pingchuan area, and the time is so tight, it may only take half a day to conquer the occupied areas. The absolute disadvantage was that I was crushed into a pulp, but at this time I had no choice but to bite the bullet and sacrifice my ego. Song Tianxiong gave the order with a helpless smile. He never imagined that the fate of being a pioneer officer for the first time would be so ridiculous, and that a war that was originally without any suspense would create so many waves.
As the division directly under Wu Feng, the Guards Division fully demonstrated their unique combat effectiveness and discipline. After the order was issued, almost everyone quickly set up camp according to their assigned tasks. Within an hour, The camp fence must be erected inside, and two trenches outside the camp are required to be completed. Although the depth requirements are not high, the huge workload is enough to exhaust the soldiers of the Guards Division.
The attack of the Luobei people came too fast. Just when the Guards Division was going all out to dig trenches to consolidate the camp fence and the deer village, the Luobei cavalry finally arrived, sweeping like a storm. Apparently the Luobei people saw through the weak points of the Guards Division's defense. The huge iron stream began to split into two a thousand meters away from the Guards Division, splitting into two streams and rushing toward the Guards Division's left and right sides. Attack from two wings.
Bag after bag of soil took less than half an hour to flatten the deer villages on both sides of the Guards Division and fill up the trenches. The baptism of bows, arrows and lances from the Guards Division also cost the Luobi cavalry a considerable price. , in order to clear the obstacles that blocked the advance of the Luobei cavalry, they paid the price of more than 5,000 people. The corpses lying on their backs beside the fence beside the trench witnessed this offensive and defensive battle. Although the strength of the two sides was extremely asymmetric, the defensive side The successful use of tactics and strategies can still maximize the damage to the opponent.
However, tactical success could not solve the huge gap in strategic strength. When the obstacles on both sides of the camp were finally cleared, Kurdo could finally breathe a sigh of relief. His fanatical fighting mood had made his blood boil and even burn. His slightly darkened face turned red, Guards Division, I will turn you into a Guards grave!
In fact, before the Luobei people launched the attack, Song Tianxiong estimated that the enemy might use roundabout attacks to attack the two wings of his main camp. In a frontal attack, the Luobei people would definitely expect to suffer huge losses, so they would go around to their rear. A breakthrough would not only be time-consuming, but would also greatly reduce the impact of the cavalry's speed advantage. The two wings became the best choice. The coach's order had been passed on, requiring him to hold on for two hours. Then he could wait until The Chinese army arrived.
However, Song Tianxiong did not dare to take it lightly. The cavalry was several times stronger than his own, and the Luo Bei people could divide their forces and delay the Chinese army's reinforcements. Everything had to be won by themselves, with their own strength and strategy. The infantry of the two regiments were divided into the most defensive backbone on both wings, and the main battalions were in front and behind. Song Tianxiong only retained the infantry of the two regiments as the most emergency force. This was purely a risk, but there was nothing he could do about it. Song Tianxiong firmly believed that the enemy would break through from both wings. Of course, he also prepared a regiment of infantry as a strategic reserve. Once the enemy really launched an attack from an unexpected place, the reserve could use the enemy to clear obstacles. Arrive in the shortest time to complete the deployment.
The surging waves hit the tall wooden fence one after another. The Luobei cavalry, shouting slogans, with red eyes and big axes raised high, pounced on the fence, chopping down the not-so-thick obstacles. Wave after wave of arrow rain and spears in the military camp were cutting through fragile lives like huge scythes. The Luobi people's crude mail armor could not stop the dense rain of arrows. At this time, the Guards Division had no time to take care of the arrows. It was a waste. Trying to launch all the weapons was the only thought in the hearts of the soldiers. The sound of "Puff, Puff" mixed with the screams and the shouts of the Luo Bei people made Song Tianxiong, who personally supervised the battle, give birth to the thoughts he once admired out of thin air. He had seen the strange scene of rain hitting the lotus leaves. At this time, he didn't know if he would have a chance to see that scene.
Cuerdo also personally supervised the formation, and the left wing of the Guards Division became his target. He deliberately ordered his subordinates who had cleared the obstacles in advance to expand the scope of the sweep, so that he could deploy more attack points, but the enemy was extremely cunning. , adopt a chain of horn formations, so that the mutually supporting defense points can make full use of the defender's bows and crossbows, and kill the attacking force to a greater extent, making the Luobei soldiers pay a heavy price for clearing obstacles in advance.
Paying the price of blood is not without reward. When all the fences are completely destroyed and razed to the ground, it will be time for the two armies to face off face-to-face. It is time for these damn northwest pigs to face the slaughter of their own army. Kurdo looked at this scene with a ferocious smile. The joy in his heart could not be described in one word. He could only say that he was happy, it was so happy.
Looking at the Luo Bi cavalry pouring into his camp, Song Tianxiong shook his head slightly. The enemy's impact was unexpectedly violent. It seemed that the opponent was planning to eat him at all costs. The arrows whizzing away could not stop him at all. The Luo Pi warriors who forget about life and death may really call it a day if they don’t take measures. Forget it, let the storm come more violently. A cold smile appeared on Song Tianxiong's indifferent face. The flag soldiers behind him waved the flag desperately at the command of the commander. Suddenly, the mixed defense line of archers and infantry retreating in steps suddenly broke out, throwing spears and arrows. Arrows and even weapons were thrown towards the sweeping Luobi wave with a roar, suffocating the Luobi people's fierce offensive.
