Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 476 Wang Wende’s defeat

The sand is rolling in the summer, and the vegetation is luxuriant.

It was the season when the vegetation was full of vitality, and fierce fighting broke out. In the cold eyes, there were sparks from the collision of swords and guns. The two big flags of "Du" and "Yuan" were like two blades cutting into tofu, killing them all the way. Deep into the formation, blood splashed out with the sound of broken bones and flesh as the soldiers pushed past.

"Defend! Defend quickly!"

Wang Wende's pupils shrank. He never expected that the incoming bandit army would advance so fast. The officers and soldiers around him quickly drew up their guns and formed a formation. However, there were only one group in the east and one in the west. They could not form a large formation, and were then hit by the rushing cavalry. Flying out, the bones and muscles groaned under the horse's hooves.

Amidst the roaring of horse hooves, the shouts of fighting filled people's ears. Swords and guns were raised and lowered to stab people wildly. Two figures holding double maces followed closely behind Du Bo, and the eight-foot-long snake spear in front was stabbing. After smashing and sweeping, the officers and soldiers blocking the road in front of them flew out, revealing the same panic-stricken faces behind them.

More and more figures flew into the sky, and some generals who were good at archery shot arrows while riding. Most of the lower-level generals in the army were shot in the vital organs. When they fell to the ground, they stared at the sky fiercely.

In the center of the queue, the old Jiedushi in armor let out an unwilling roar. His troops had experienced two siege battles and suffered a lot of casualties. Excluding those who could not fight, their number had been reduced to less than five thousand. Fortunately, the siege Unlike field battles, otherwise they would have collapsed with so many casualties, and their morale would be low even if they were so.

Now being suddenly attacked by Liangshan cavalry, his subordinates who lacked the experience of fighting against cavalry were immediately defeated. The formation's breakthrough was faster than expected.

In the sight, the advancing generals' flags kept approaching, and the number of sergeants under his command continued to decrease. He waved the command flags to let the rear army form a defensive formation, but was broken through by the red-faced man waving his double aos. Teng Si and Teng Kan, who were following behind, saw that they were approaching the center. The army threw a flying ax at the same time and was cut down by Wang Wende with his sword. Seeing the strong man rushing over like a mad tiger, he did not dare to stay where he was and face the cavalry front alone. He quickly turned his mount and headed towards the rear.

Yuan Lang cooperated with Du Bo to rush forward, and the water-hardened steel hit the shield. The wooden shield cracked, followed by the sound of broken bones. The war horse took advantage of the situation and rushed in. He swung the Qimen weapon left and right in his hand, and the soldiers of the army flew backwards. More cavalry rushed in.

"The officers and soldiers were defeated——"

Du Chuo let out a shout, and the military capital Yuhou carried on the spear flew hard and hit the officers and soldiers in front. The two people suddenly became gourds rolling on the ground. The command of the horse army did not stop, and cut in instantly. A snake spear appeared and disappeared, and the surrounding officers and soldiers fell to the ground.

Some of the sergeants who were listening turned around and saw the general's flag breaking away from the line. They shouted and dispersed. Only a few sergeants were still in position to form a formation to guard against the enemy's surprise attack. How could they stop the wolf-like force? General Liangshan of Tiger.

Du Bo, who was bravely taking the lead, smashed away the panicked officers and soldiers who ran out of position with a spear. The next second, the scene in front of him was empty. The big man who emerged from the formation saw the black line surging in front of him, and it was blown to the south by the wind. The flag shows a plum blossom character.

The war horses galloped for two steps, and figures holding infantry badges lined up in front. The forest of guns standing behind them flashed with cold light. When they saw the cavalry, they stopped in place, formed a shield formation, and shot out spears. Showed through the gap between the shields.

"Let's go, let's not get into any more trouble here——"

Du Bo whistled, waving the snake spear in the sky, and the Du flag flying behind him. Looking from a high altitude, the horse army of less than a thousand people drew an arc in front of the second formation of the official army, and the horse hooves flew in the air. Get out of the battlefield.

Under the plum banner, the veteran whose armor was covered with mottled marks looked at the direction where the smoke and dust disappeared and took a breath: "Old Ghost Wang, you are so embarrassed this time..."

He turned to the sergeant on the side and said: "Immediately send a message to the Chinese army to be careful of a sneak attack by the Liangshan cavalry. Also inform the Commander-in-Chief that the left wing...Wang Wende's troops on the left wing have lost their combat effectiveness and are in urgent need of rest."

The rider was ordered to run out.

……

"Wang Wende of the left wing meets the enemy?"

Liu Yanqing's expression changed after receiving the first summons. He looked at the sergeant who came to report the news in surprise. There were less than 40,000 troops in the army. The three armies on the left, right and center were spread out and were still more than ten miles away. At this time, suddenly After hearing the warning, I couldn't help but picture the opponent's formation pattern in my mind. "It's a cavalry army, and its fighting style is quite fierce..."

"But the one that destroyed Daming Mansion?"

"How many people are there on the other side? One thousand?"

At the Central Military Department, the second son of the Liu family and Gao Shixuan were also on the side. When they heard the responses from the riders and the coach in front, they immediately started talking.

As the first killers to destroy the army, Liangshan's cavalry had already left a strong impression on these officers and soldiers. At this time, they suddenly heard that the troops marching on the left were blocked, and they all turned to look at the silent generals.

The man was holding a gold-plated phoenix-winged boring machine with his head lowered and silent. As if he felt the eyes of others raising his head, he couldn't help but frown, but he still didn't say anything more and lowered his head again.

"A thousand cavalrymen attacked the left wing. I ordered Wang Wende to resist, and then ordered Mei Zhan, the rear army, to attack them. The two of them cooperated to stay..."

"Commander, our general has summoned General Mei of the rear army." The rider raised his head and cupped his hands, interrupting the commander who was speaking.

Liu Yanqing frowned, but nodded and said: "Then quickly order the two of them to defeat the cavalry and catch up. Next..."

Before he finished speaking, another rider came running towards him. Before he could dismount, he was already talking rapidly about the battle situation on the left, with a hint of disbelief.

"Commander Genjie, Wang Wende's troops on the left wing were defeated. When old general Mei Zhan arrived, the opponent took the initiative to evacuate the left wing."

"What do you mean!?"

The people in the Central Military Office suddenly opened their eyes wide. It was unexpected that the left wing of the dissatisfied group with a thousand cavalry raids was defeated in such a short period of time. It was really unexpected.

"Jie Shuai..."

Gao Shixuan suddenly looked at Liu Yanqing, who had an ashen complexion. He wouldn't worry if the other party fought there, but now it would be fatal for the other party to break through an army but retreat quickly. Who knows when this cavalry team will appear again?
……

As the daylight passed, among the piles of corpses on the ground, Wang Wende turned to the battlefield with an earthy face. He looked at the sergeants who were gathering here and there and let out a sigh with vicissitudes of life.

In the Liangshan Central Formation a few miles away, scouts were constantly running around. Information from all sides was gathered one by one, and was absorbed by the Chinese army. They were constantly adjusting their positions as the battle formation advanced.

Not long after, a knight with a message came running over to inform the cavalry of the situation.

"Brother Du Bo has defeated the left wing once. Although he didn't kill the general, it is still a great help to us."

Xi Sheng took a breath as he spoke: "Brother sent an order for me to wait for the generals and soldiers to hold them back. The enemy's army is several times larger than mine. Brothers, please be careful."

Not long after the words were spoken, the smoke and dust rising in front became visible to the naked eye. (End of chapter)
