Chen Wang wears a three-flag moon helmet, a water-polished fish scale armor, a robe and a girdle, holds a horse-stem in his hand, and leaps in front of thousands of troops.
Thousands of horses' hooves trampled on the snow, like thousands of heavenly soldiers beating drums in the clouds, the sound was deafening, reaching up to the sky.
As the horse galloped, wind and snow hit him, blowing the three moon flags on Chen Wang's helmet.
The sight was full of blood, and the air was filled with the stench of blood.
Jiazhuang in the distance was already surrounded by people. Qing troops surrounded it several times from all directions, turning Jiazhuang into a huge pool of blood, consuming the flesh and blood of its soldiers all the time.
Looking in the direction of Jiazhuang and feeling the ups and downs of the horses under him, Chen Wang felt cold in his heart. He had made his decision and tried his best.
During the march, Chen Wang had been thinking about various things that might happen and worried about the consequences.
But after arriving at Jiazhuang and seeing with my own eyes the bloody battlefield in the distance, all these emotions and worries disappeared.
Riding alone in front, Chen Wang had no obstacles in front of him and had an unobstructed view of the entire Jiazhuang.
Chen Wang had a clear view of the mobilization of the Qing army's formation and the situation in Jia Zhuang.
Lu Xiangsheng's situation naturally did not escape Chen Wang's eyes.
As a qualified general, good eyesight and insight are necessary conditions.
Chen Wang paid no attention to the disintegrating Qing troops or the fleeing cavalry along the way, and didn't even pay any attention to them.
All his attention was focused on Lu Xiangsheng's fiery red banner in Jiazhuang.
Chen Wang noticed the chaos in Jiazhuang from the beginning, just like the Hu Dawei Department guarding the left wing that was usually the first to be breached in history.
They came all the way in a hurry, but in the end they were still a step too slow. The Qing army had broken the formation and the situation was still precarious.
The only good news is that the Qing army did not set up any sentries on the periphery. They successfully caught the Qing army by surprise and gained a short-term advantage, causing chaos in the Qing army's formation.
But the advantage could not last, nor could the chaos last long. The Qing army would be able to react immediately.
Jiazhuang is a plain, not a mountainous area. Although they came quickly, it was not a surprise attack.
Moreover, the Qing army was besieged on three sides, causing chaos on only one side, and this side did not seem to be the main force of the Qing army.
In terms of hard power, the Qing army still occupies a huge advantage.
Although there was no reconnaissance, based on historical circumstances, the Qing army had at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops.
Due to many previous changes, the military strength under Lu Xiangsheng's command has been improved to a certain extent. The Qing army's gathering this time is therefore larger than recorded in history, and I am afraid that the number of troops will only be larger.
With the same number of people, the Qing army was already more powerful. Now that there are more people, the gap is naturally wider.
Feeling the wind and rain blowing in front of him, Chen Wang's expression became more and more serious. The Qing army changed formations very quickly and reacted very quickly, without revealing many flaws at all.
In just a moment, the formation had already completed its transformation, from the original offensive formation to a defensive formation.
Chen Wang watched the changes in the Qing army's formation coldly, and finally refocused his eyes on Jiazhuang.
What happens next can only be discussed later. The most important thing right now is to save Lu Xiangsheng first and rescue the Xuan army.
The distance of several miles is only a blink of an eye for the galloping horses. Chen Wang has no idea of cherishing the horse power. Most of the Xuan Army's front in Jiazhuang has collapsed. If they wait any longer, it will collapse completely, or Lu Xiangsheng will die. Falling short of success.
"Disperse the military formation, don't stop us!"
Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu who was guarding the right wing of the North Camp, saw Chen Wang leading the brigade of armored cavalry towards the interior of Jiazhuang. Without any hesitation or hesitation, Yang Guozhu directly gave the order to get out of the way.
The Zhenghuang Banner soldiers of the Qing army who had previously attacked Beiying had already retreated. They retreated all the way to the southwest and were picked up by the Qing army leaving the camp. The pressure on Beiying was relieved.
Yang Guozhu had noticed the difficulties encountered by the Chinese army a long time ago. Du Wenhuan had told him in advance before the attack. However, at that time, Beiying was also in danger, and even if he had the intention, he was powerless.
As soon as the Qing army that attacked Beiying retreated, he immediately sent people to rush for reinforcements in an attempt to relieve the siege.
But on the side of the Chinese army, the Qing army's armored soldiers were even more crazy. They didn't care at all and refused to retreat. They couldn't break through the Qing army's formation. They were even counterattacked for a while and lost a lot of soldiers.
The strategic vision of a town's chief military officer can't be any worse. What's more, Yang Guozhu is not a chief military officer like Wang Pu who relied on connections and gold and silver to forcibly recruit him. He has many military achievements. .
Chen Wang came straight with his armored cavalry. He didn't care about the Qing army that was crumbling along the way. He already knew that this cavalry army should come to rescue Lu Xiangsheng, so he naturally ordered the army to disperse without the slightest hesitation. , get out of the way.
There were still hundreds of meters away from Jiazhuang. Chen Wang saw the soldiers of Xuan Dajun branching out to both sides like waves, and he also saw the tall general's flag erected in the formation.
There was a lot of noise on the battlefield, and it was impossible to rely on shouting to communicate hundreds of steps apart. Looking at the yellow flags flying constantly in Xuan's army, Chen Wang understood.
"Blow the conch and form a formation!"
Chen Wang held the reins in his hand tightly, held the horse's rein horizontally with his other hand, and rode alone in front.
The horse in his hand was like a dividing belt, blocking the rest of the cavalry behind them.
"Woo——————"
A low conch horn sounded suddenly, and it spread throughout the entire cavalry formation in just an instant.
At the same time, the thousands of armored cavalry following Chen Wang also began to change their formations at this time.
The horses' hooves trampled wildly, splashing countless mud and snow, and the low bugles caused the flags to waver.
The headwind blew, causing countless flags to make hunting sounds in the wind and snow.
The light of the setting sun shines into the formation like molten gold.
Pieces of cold light shone, and streaks of golden light were dazzling.
The pieces of iron armor reflected a cold light, but the molten golden sunlight shining into the formation and reflected by the iron armor gave it a hint of sacredness, like a heavenly soldier in the sky.
Yang Guozhu's eyes narrowed slightly. Originally, the cavalry under Chen Wang's command was a little chaotic when they came galloping all the way. However, after the conch horn sounded, it became much more orderly, but the speed also slowed down a lot.
The cavalry under Chen Wang's command were still changing. The cavalry in the front row were holding long spears. They held the long spears with their spear points pointing forward diagonally.
Along with the leaping of the war horse, the red tassels on the spears and the mane of the war horse flew together in the strong wind.
The cavalrymen in the next few rows were holding bright sabers, leaning on their shoulders.
They are clearly cavalry, but they are actually like infantry. They maintain a strict formation with each other and move forward in horizontal formation. They are not in the wedge formation often used in cavalry charges, but in a square formation.
Like a city wall, it slowly advances and comes like a wall.
There was still some confusion in the cavalry formation when the formation change was first completed, but soon the cavalry formation began to become unified.
Thousands of horses were galloping on the battlefield, and the rumble of horse hooves was intertwined, as loud as a swollen river.
Moreover, the originally chaotic hoofbeats even began to have a certain rhythm after the riding formation changed.
The dense sound of hoofbeats gathered together and sounded like thunder.
Yang Guozhu is riding on a horse and is in the formation.
There are a hundred steps away from the riding formation, but they all feel a little unstable.
The wind and snow rolled up, and the crimson robe belt on Chen Wang's body bulged up, revealing the silver-white fish scale armor polished inside.
Cracked, I set the wrong time, it was scheduled to be released on 23.10
I still owe some, and I will continue to make up for it tomorrow. The leave note is gone, so I won’t be able to ask for leave in the future.
