Vol 8 Chapter 33: White Bird Village counterattack

On the edge of Kinohara, the dead grass in the winter dyes the sunset golden yellow. In the distance, the blue sea reflects the sparkling golden light. The Battle of Akinohara really kicked off in the sunset scenery of early spring and February.

The battle flags flew across the battlefield, the golden drums were staggered, and the sobbing camp horns were like wild animals howling in the sunset, which made people blood boil. A thousand-man team from Goryeo withdrew from the front position of White Bird Village, and another thousand-man team was slowly approaching the position from the flank in the southwest corner, planning to take over the frontal position and take turns to attack White Bird Village.

Qin Zitan stood on the west bank of the Bailuo River, looking at the battlefield in the distance.

The west bank of Bailuo River is four or five miles away from the battlefield in front of Bainiao Village.

Although Zhen Feng put tens of thousands of troops into the battlefield on the east bank, and formed a butterfly wing formation with the left and right wings at the center of the military camp on the east bank, Qin Zitan still believed that Zhen Feng's chances of winning were no greater than Four percent.

Although standing on the west bank to watch the battle, it is not real, but it is better than going to the east bank and falling into the danger of swordsmen.

It should be said that the Battle of Kinohara had kicked off yesterday noon, but the two sides fought without shyness. The four thousand teams on the right wing of the Koreans assembled a tight defensive formation, mainly to monitor the direction of Heiyan Mountain, the main village of the Huaidong and Danluo coalition forces. . In the early stage of the battle, the focus was placed on the left flank. Zhen Feng used a team of six thousand people to attack the White Bird Village. He just wanted to use the wheel tactics to wipe out the physical strength and will of the defenders of the White Bird Village. Village, and then all-out attack on Heiyan Mountain, the main village of the Huaidong and Danluo coalition forces.

Or if the Huaidong and Danluo coalition forces can't wait for the White Bird Village to fall, they will pull out the main force from Heiyan Mountain and conduct a decisive counterattack.

Zhen Feng's Butterfly Wing Formation seemed to focus on the left wing, with six thousand-man teams and four thousand-man teams on the right wing. However, the four thousand-man teams on the right wing are the main force of Haiyang County soldiers. They have good coordination with each other and are more capable of fighting.

As long as the main force of the Huaidong and Danluo coalition forces can be drawn out from Heiyan Mountain, pulled into the battlefield of Xiyeyuan, and entangled with four thousand troops, Zhen Feng can continuously draw troops from the left flank and the rear flank to strengthen the right flank , and completely wiped out the main force of the Huaidong and Danluo coalition forces on the **** in front of Heiyan Mountain.

Knowing Zhen Feng's tactical arrangements, Qin Zitan had to admit that Zhen Feng was a seasoned veteran, and maybe it was possible that Lin Bie would suffer a big loss in Haidong.

"The Huaidong Army is starting to fight back!" Azige reminded him while riding on the horse, seeing Qin Zitan's mind wandering.

Qin Zitan stared at it. On the waist of Bainiaozhai, the open gate was like a sluice. in the battlefield.

The Koryo thousand-man team, which was slowly retreating, saw the defenders of Bainiaozhai come out to fight back, and they were not caught off guard. They quickly stopped the pace of retreat and formed a formation.

The officers roared loudly, asking all the soldiers to stand firm, and let the few arrows be concentrated on the two flanks, so as to effectively interfere with the attack of the Huaidong generals.

The first to stabilize the position was the two wing formations that were responsible for covering the retreat.

In the previous battle of attacking the village, the arrows were consumed too much, and it was no longer possible to form a rain of arrows that blocked the battlefield and prevented the Huaidong generals from approaching. Seeing that the number of soldiers of the Huaidong Army who had left the camp to fight back was more than the previous few times, the Koryo officers who were in charge of the cover brandished their swords and led their troops to charge up the slope. One is to delay the attack speed of the White Bird Village defenders, and the other is to widen the distance to give the main force behind them more time to rectify their formation.

The two wing formations retreated, and the entire thousand-man team soon formed a denser defensive formation in the slightly concave valley in front of the White Bird Village to resist the impact of the White Bird Village defenders who were counterattacking.

"For Huaidong, for victory! Go ahead..."

The Huaidong generals roared and killed, the collision of the armor pieces was like the sound of the waves of the relatives, and the murderous aura came. The shield players of the Koreans formed a shield formation outside, the spearmen and halberdiers were behind the shield formation, and the knife and axemen were behind the shield formation. In the center, he will soon engage with Huaidong General's front wing, like a boulder on the top of Sunrise Mountain, standing still in the storm, stubbornly resisting the first wave of Huaidong General's counterattack. The Koreans knew in their hearts that as long as they resisted the first wave of attacks from Huaidong generals, the thousands of troops behind would be able to turn around on the flanks and push back the Huaidong soldiers who had left the camp to counterattack...

Different from the previous counterattacks, the Huaidong armored soldiers who went out to fight back this time did not place the bowmen behind the sword and shield hands to shoot the Koreans at the tail. The Mo swordsmen, spearmen, and sword and shield soldiers formed a flower team. Taking advantage of the terrain, they braved the threat of the Korean spears and halberds to directly and violently attack the Korean shield formation. The bowmen were in the second row, using long-range bows and powerful crossbows to project long, sharp, iron-clustered arrows at the center of the Korean formation.

In the center of the formation, the Koreans were not shielded by large shields, and their leather armor had limited defensive power. Once a hole in the center of the formation appeared later, the shield formation and spearmen in the front row could not receive strong support. Under the direct impact of the Huaidong armored soldiers, they gradually became unsupported, and they retreated step by step, barely maintaining the formation. Shape is not messy.

Infantry confrontation, once the formation is broken up, even collapse is not far away.

Commander Zheng Xin held high the sword that shone brightly and coldly, and roared like a bloodthirsty beast: "Kill! I'm afraid of death!" Even if a mountain of swords is pressed down, it must be resisted. Before the reinforcements from the left flank come up, they must resist this wave of the Huaidong Army!

The setting sun had already fallen on the top of the treetops, and Zhen Feng pressed all three thousand troops on the left flank, but he had not yet fought back the counterattack of the defenders of White Bird Village.

Different from the previous few times, this wave of counterattacks by the defenders of Bainiaozhai was resolute and powerful. Standing on the west bank of Bailuo River, Qin Zitan felt a strange aura wafting in the evening air. He squinted to the west. The sun was setting, and the twilight had already appeared, and my heart suddenly trembled, and I was shocked: "The Huaidong Army is going to fight at night!"

Speaking of night battles, Azig's pain was also provoked.

Na Tuzhen and Na Yan led more than a thousand Donghu elites to drag the Jiangdong Zuo Army down on the snowy night, and then fell into a tight siege, and finally failed to kill them. Although Jiangdong Zuo Jun's trick of traveling at night in snow and wind was later revealed to his sister (it is very simple to say it, that is, using the frozen river to travel at night), it also shows that the Huaidong Army had a considerable ability to fight at night during the various battles in Yannan. .

The left wing fought resolutely and cruelly, but using its excellent night fighting ability to send the main elite to attack from the right wing suddenly, it was a good strategy!

Azige looked to the south, and the Huaidong and Danluo coalition forces were lined up with flags and flags in the camp of Heiyan Mountain, and there was no sign of troops and horses being dispatched at all. The more so, the more suspicious it becomes.

There is no need for Qin Zitan or Ajige to send someone to remind him, Zhen Feng is obviously also prepared. The right wing began to block the passage between the right wing and Heiyan Mountain with obstacles such as refusal horses and caltrops. More archers gathered to form a blockade of arrows on the front wing, and dozens of campfires also burned early. stand up.

Zhen Feng also transferred a thousand-man team from the left wing to strengthen the defense of the right wing.

The Koreans formed a butterfly wing formation with the central army tent on the east bank of the Bailuo River as the center. At this time, the left and right wings reached a balance of strength, and there were three thousand troops in the rear wing as backup.

The left wing was so tight that the three thousand-man teams were pressed up, and it was not easy to withdraw, but on the left wing and the frontal battlefield in Bainiaozhai was a little south, Zhen Feng still had two thousand-man teams that he could call.

The defenders of Bainiaozhai who attacked retreated, and another wave came out immediately. No one had understood why the Huaidong Army built three gates in front of the Bainiaozhai camp? Only then did I understand.

The defenders of Bainiaozhai used the three frontal gates to conduct orderly retreating and advancing tactical actions, and they also used wheel tactics to fight back, biting the three thousand-man teams of the Korean people on the frontal battlefield, preventing them from being allowed to attack. its withdraw.

The twilight is getting heavier, the battle drums and roars are constantly fighting, the moon is like a white hook on the horizon, the battle flags and the figures of the fighting soldiers in the distance are gradually blurred in the field of vision, and can no longer be seen clearly. The lit campfire is getting brighter and brighter. Under the reflection of , the staggered figures became more and more distinct.

The more intense the fight on the left wing, the three thousand-strong team retreated from the battlefield under the resolute counterattack of the defenders of Bainiaozhai. Qin Zitan looked at the right wing more closely, and secretly said: Once Zhen Feng can't resist , to transfer the troops from the right wing to support the left wing, it is probably when Lin Bie strikes a fatal blow at night!

At this time, a quick cavalry came from the east coast, holding a torch, loudly announcing Zhen Feng's military order. Zhen Feng transferred a thousand-man team from the rear wing of the west bank to strengthen the left wing, and re-strengthened the left wing to six thousand-man teams.

Due to the accumulation of many casualties, although the left wing maintained a formation of 6,000 troops, the number of troops capable of fighting was less than 5,000.

Similarly, the defenders of Bainiaozhai suffered a lot of casualties, and it could be seen that those who went out to fight back should be the elite soldiers of the Huaidong Army.

Even if the stars and the moon are quite good, the light is far less than that of the day. The golden drums on both sides were mixed, and without the auxiliary command of the battle flag, the main general could hardly control the army, and more could only rely on the grass-roots officers such as thousands and centurions to command in front.

Although Zhen Feng was very reluctant to fight at night, he had no choice. The left flank was already glued and intertwined, and even if the defenders of Bainiaozhai had the advantage of the terrain, they could only withdraw from the battlefield in a staggered manner. However, the defenders of Bainiaozhai did not withdraw, so Zhen Feng could only continue to push more troops up to fight. If they took the initiative to withdraw and let the defenders of Bainiaozhai rush down along the terrain, it would likely cause the entire left wing. Crash!

The left wing fought so tightly that Zhen Feng couldn't help but feel greed again.

As long as the right wing can wait patiently and resist the attack of the Huaidong Army's main elite, he can use the superior force on the left wing to exhaust the defenders of Bainiaozhai in the counterattack.

When Zhen Feng sent five of the six thousand-man teams from the left wing to the frontal battlefield of Bainiaozhai, the counterattack of the defenders of Bainiaozhai had not been effectively contained. Zhen Feng, including Qin Zitan and Aji who were watching the battle on the west bank Greg and the others all noticed the slightest anomaly.

"What would happen if Lin Fu put the elites of the Huaidong Army in the Bainiaozhai camp?" Azige asked Qin Zitan subconsciously.

Hearing what Azige said, Qin Zitan shuddered as if struck by lightning: Heiyan Mountain is an empty city plan!

Lin Fuzhen wanted to distribute nearly 5,000 Huaidong Army's elites in the Baidaozhai camp, and the six thousand-strong team on the left wing would definitely not be able to withstand the impact of the 5,000 Huaidong elite soldiers. At this time, five of the six thousand-man teams on the left wing were wrapped into the battlefield in front of the White Bird Village. Once the formation was broken up, only one thousand-man team could not prevent the collapse of the left wing.

In the end, Zhen Feng won't even have the chance to adjust the formation, the defeated troops on the left wing will press on the central army and the right wing like a collapsed snow mountain!

Qin Zitan was frightened in a cold sweat, pulled his entourage over, and hurriedly ordered: "You go to meet Zhendu quickly, and tell him that Heiyan Mountain may be an empty village, and Huaidong elites are most likely hidden in White Bird Village..." Qin Zitan I wanted to directly suggest that Zhen Feng recruit two thousand-man teams from the right wing to strengthen the left wing and prevent the collapse of the left wing, but suddenly thought: If the guess is wrong, the right wing is still the main attack direction of the Huaidong Army. At this time, it is recommended that Zhen Feng adjust the left and right wings. Isn't it a favor for Lin Bie?

Qin Zitan hesitated for a while, but Ajige simply urged Qin Zitan's squire: "You go to see Zhendu, so to speak, Zhendu has his own decision!"

When the squires walked away, Qin Zitan regained his senses, UU reading www. uukanshu. Com was ashamed of his hesitation just now, and had to admit that he could only be a strategist, but Azig was more decisive than him.

After calming down a bit, Qin Zitan became more and more certain that Heiyan Mountain was an empty city. On the left flank, the defenders of White Bird Village have already invested 2,560 elite troops on the frontal battlefield. How many elite troops can Lin Bie concentrate on the right flank? Might as well simply fight from the left flank.

Thinking that this was probably the killing plan that Lin Bie had planned from the beginning, Qin Zitan only felt a chill in his heart.

At this time, there was a strange sharp noise in the air, and it was so clear over the battlefield that Azige could hear it clearly when he stood on the west bank of the Bailuo River.

"What's the sound?"

"It's a bed crossbow!" The She family also began to use bed crossbows and catapults on a large scale on the battlefield, and modeled Huaidong's scorpion crossbows. Qin Zitan was very familiar with the sharp sound of the bed crossbows being fired intensively.

Qin Zitan looked at the left wing in horror. The giant arrows that pierced through the sky had very faint shadows in the night sky, like huge birds, moving from the gentle slopes of the two wings of Bainiaozhai to the foot soldiers of the Koreans below. Array save shot.

Before they knew it, the Koreans had completely driven out of the White Bird Village and almost retreated to the inner edge of Xiyeyuan. In the frontal battlefield of Bainiaozhai, enough open space has been formed. The three gates on the front opened together, and a group of black shadows filed out, and the neighing of the horses could be vaguely heard. Huaidong elites are about to go out...

On the front of the Goryeo formation, the defenders of the White Bird Village, who were fighting back, began to shrink to the two wings in an orderly manner. Qin Zitan did not know how the Huaidong Army did this, but what was certain was that the Huaidong Army could carry out more effective command and convey military orders at night.
