I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor
Chapter 51: Outnumbered vs. outnumbered! A sure win?
His gaze finally fell on the rear formation formed by tens of thousands of infantrymen, surrounding Shangguan Yu's command platform.
The platform is three meters high, making it easy to get an overall view of the situation. Shangguan Muzhan stands beside Shangguan Yu. Although other noble sons have not gone to the front line, the Shangguan family has been in the army for generations, so Shangguan Yu still brings Shangguan Muzhan with him.
There are also twelve messengers on the stage, ready to convey orders at any time. Once the command flag is raised, anyone who disobeys will be punished.
Rows of war drums and bronze bells were placed beside the platform to give orders and make advances and retreats based on evidence.
Fang Yi looked around, and the dense cavalry made him feel proud.
"Dong dong dong"
The war drums sounded and both sides launched a charge at the same time. Wu Minbo looked at the generals on his left and right, nodded slightly, squeezed his horse's belly, and the Northern Frontier Cavalry slowly advanced.
At first, the horses' hooves stepped on the ground slowly, then they accelerated at a trot, until Wu Minbo roared "Kill!", and the Northern Frontier cavalry were like an arrow shot from a bow, and their speed instantly soared to the limit.
"boom!"
The two armies met, horses collided, blood and flesh flew everywhere, mud splashed, and the soldiers on both sides instantly fell into frenzy, with spears drawn and sharp blades fighting.
The soldiers fell down with the sound of horse hooves breaking, and before they could get up, they were trampled by the following horses. In a cavalry confrontation, once someone fell off a horse, it was a matter of life and death.
The Chiyu Camp led by Fang Yi had an orderly and well-organized formation, like carefully arranged chess pieces on a chessboard.
He rode side by side with Chang Zhen and Lu Qi, while Bai Yujing was in the center of the camp. This was Bai Yujing's first time fighting on horseback, so Fang Yi deliberately placed him in a relatively safe position. After all, he was the treasure of the Chiyu Camp and must not be lost.
The Akabane Camp gradually approached the enemy's front line. Fang Yi waved his spear, and the soldiers in the camp raised their spears in unison.
"kill!"
With a deafening roar, the Akabane Camp was already deeply trapped in the enemy's formation. Such a large-scale cavalry confrontation and its lineup were unprecedentedly magnificent.
Fang Yi fought bravely, his comrades fell one after another, and the Jurchen warriors also suffered heavy losses.
After a brief confrontation, the two teams crossed paths. Fang Yi looked around and saw that the Chiyu Camp did not suffer much damage, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It was estimated that 10,000 people from each side fell in a pool of blood. The intensity of the first battle was beyond everyone's expectations.
Chirag, who was standing on the Jurchen leader's platform, witnessed the tragic scene after the cavalry charged and thought to himself: "The bravery of the cavalry from Northern Xinjiang and Youzhou is indeed well-known! Such warriors are enough to compete with our Jurchen people.
Unfortunately, you will all die here today!"
After breaking through the enemy formation, Wu Minbo took the lead in charging and led his troops to attack the center of the Jurchen infantry formation, while the Youzhou army quickly surrounded them from both sides. According to the predetermined strategy, the primary goal of the three forces was to destroy the main force of the Jurchen infantry.
The Jurchens also adopted a similar strategy. Ali Sangge led his army to break through the formation from the center, and the other two routes implemented flanking operations. However, they did not launch a head-on attack. Instead, they kept shooting arrows into the formation, intending to surround the Great Zhou infantry formation from the outside.
The Jurchen cavalry roared towards the heavy armored camp. Although it was the first time that Ali Sangge had seen such a heavily armored division with such a magnificent momentum, he firmly believed that the advantage of cavalry over infantry was unshakable.
Ali Sangge imagined the scene of the cavalry breaking through the formation and slaughtering the infantry of the Great Zhou Dynasty. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. However, the next moment, the scene before him shocked him so much that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
The first wave of more than a thousand cavalrymen charged, after going through great difficulties to break through the deer horns, passed through the rain of arrows, and slammed into the first row of shields and spears, but failed to shake the heavy armored battalion at all. All of them died, and some of their bodies were even hanging on the spears, with blood dripping from the spear tips, which was particularly dazzling in the sun.
Ali Sangge stared blankly at this horrifying scene. Even though he was so fierce, he couldn't help but feel fear towards this formation.
At the same time, Wu Minbo was sprinting towards the Jurchen infantry formation. The cavalrymen around him were getting faster and faster, leaving him behind in an instant. Looking at the bravest captains among his men, Wu Minbo roared: "What are you doing! Get back!"
A captain laughed loudly and said, "General, we have followed you in battles for many years. Today, let us brothers rush to the front and have a chance to show off and feel what it is like to be a general. Haha!" Before he finished speaking, he increased his speed and completely left Wu Minbo behind.
Wu Minbo's eyes were red. To break through the infantry formation, the pioneer must die. These captains are vying to die for him. Fang Yi, who was not far away, witnessed this scene and was also deeply moved.
The captains' eyes became sharp, and the leader shouted: "Where is the Northern Frontier Army?"
"Kill!" Angry roars echoed, and they slammed into the Jurchen infantry.
The Jurchen infantry lacked heavy armored troops like the Youzhou troops, and could only rely on deer horns and spears to delay the pace of the Northern Frontier cavalry, trading their lives for time.
Wu Minbo looked at his old subordinates who had died one after another, and he felt heartbroken. But he saw that a gap had been opened in the battle formation, and victory was at hand. The Youzhou troops on the left and right would also rush in. He suppressed his grief, drove his horse and rushed towards the gap with his spear in hand.
Chirag watched the formation being broken from the center of the infantry formation, but he did not panic. Instead, he showed a meaningful smile and shouted, "Send the signal!"
"Woo~Woo~" A sharp horn sounded suddenly, Wu Minbo was confused and wondered what tricks the Jurchens were playing. Fang Yi's heart trembled and he looked up and around.
The small hill behind the Jurchen formation was covered in dust and the ground was shaking. Everyone knew that this was a sign that a large number of cavalry were coming. A Jurchen flag jumped out from behind the hill, followed by more flags, and finally 80,000 cavalrymen came out with a roar that shook the sky.
Wu Minbo was stunned and murmured, "Impossible, impossible."
The Youzhou cavalry also fell silent, surprised by the sudden appearance of such a huge army.
Fang Yi was extremely anxious and shouted, "General, retreat quickly! Chiyu Camp, fight your way out!"
Fang Yi's roar awakened the stunned Wu Minbo. He immediately turned his horse's head and tried to rush out, but found that the infantry formation he had just broken through was slowly closing, and the cavalry that rushed in were trapped. "We've fallen into a trap!" Wu Minbo felt a chill in his heart.
Chirag smiled with relief. He had sacrificed a large number of infantry and set up a trap to lure the Northern Frontier Army deep into the territory, waiting for the arrival of the main force. Now that the overall situation was decided, the cavalry of Northern Frontier and Youzhou were destined to suffer heavy losses.
Seeing the situation of the battle reversed in an instant, the Jurchen cavalry was approaching like a dark cloud. If they waited for them to join the battle, their cavalry formation would not have been fully deployed, and they would not have the speed for the horses to charge. The only way they would be wiped out was for their entire army to be destroyed.
Fang Yi's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he waved the command flag and joined hands with Lu Qichang to form a spearhead formation. Like a beast out of a cage, they ruthlessly crashed into the gap in the defense line that was about to close.
The Akabane Camp followed closely behind, and everyone fought bloody battles with deafening shouts of killing. The Jurchen army suffered heavy casualties and the gap was torn open again.
"Breakout!"
Fang Yi turned around and roared, then was the first to break out of the encirclement.
Wu Minbo led his personal soldiers to follow closely behind, and the two armies of Youzhou also broke through the formation after paying a heavy price. Qirag's eyes were as cold as ice, locking onto Fang Yi's troops who were leading the way in front: "Who exactly is this person?"
The generals around all shook their heads. Although the Jurchens collected many portraits of generals from surrounding armies, they had obviously missed Fang Yi.
