Chapter 906 Fighting Mang Mountain Again

Chapter 906 Fighting Mang Mountain Again

Hu Luguang arrived at the front line of Heyang day and night, and immediately went south to attack the enemy camp with lightning speed, successfully defeating the enemy forces south of the Heqiao. Although the enemy troops were reinforced in time from the rear, they could not completely encircle and annihilate the enemy camp. Army, but it can also be said to have brilliant results.

Especially when counting the results after the war, they learned through interrogation of the Western Wei prisoners that the Western Wei general who was killed by Hu Luguang's arrow was actually Wang Xiong, a general, which made the soldiers of the Qi army even more excited.

In recent years, there have been rare wars between the two countries. Basically, the Northern Qi Dynasty mainly wiped out the Hulu in Mobei, while the Western Wei Dynasty blindly took advantage of Nanliang. Counting further back, due to the evil rise of Li Boshan, a traitor from the Eastern Wei Dynasty, in the Western Dynasty, several generals fell at his hands.

After counting, in the more than ten years after the Battle of Mangshan, this Western Wei general Wang Xiong can be said to be the highest-level Western Wei general that the Northern Qi Dynasty killed on the battlefield.

Hu Luguang accomplished such a great feat just after arriving at the Heyang battlefield, which can be said to have boosted the morale of the army and swept away the depression caused by Gao Guiyan's previous defeat.

When the result of the battle was reported back to Heyang Beicheng, Zhu Hunyuan could not help but feel happy, and Pingqin King Gao Guiyan, who was a little unhappy with Hu Luguang before, couldn't help but smile. After all, the direction of the next war was related to his life. Safety is closely related. As long as he can win a big victory and save his own life, even if Hu Luguang's slight contempt for him is infuriating, it is not intolerable.

Among the soldiers, the happiest one was naturally Hu Lujin, who was leading the army from the south. When he learned that his son had won this victory, Hu Lujin couldn't help but smile and said: "My son is so majestic that I can take care of him. In previous years No achievements have been fulfilled, but now there is nothing to boast about!”

Senior generals in the country have passed away one after another. Today, Hu Lujin is the only remaining Shenwu Yuancong. He is also the elder with the most seniority and the highest prestige among Jinyang nobles. When he heard Hu Lujin praise his son so much, he followed the army. All the generals were also full of praise, which made Hu Lujin smile.

When his position reaches his level, he can be called a very human minister, and there is no room for improvement. The only remaining wish is naturally to see his descendants prosper and have successors to his family's achievements.

Overjoyed, Hulujin also ordered the army to move faster in order to reach the Heluo battlefield as soon as possible, and use the remaining momentum of his son's victory to launch an attack on the enemy.

A few days later, most of the Northern Qi reinforcements finally arrived in Heyang. At the same time, Gao Rui, Prince of Zhao County, who had just returned from supervising the construction of the Great Wall, also led 20,000 horses from Yecheng to Heyang. The combined force of several armies totaled more than 80,000 people. Under the leadership of Hu Lujin, there was a mighty force. Go south along the river bridge and go straight to where the Western Wei army is.

At this time, the Western Wei Dynasty had already known the news of the reinforcements from the Northern Qi Dynasty coming from the south, and after the defeat of Da Xiwu and other armies, they had adjusted their military defense camps to meet the enemy.

The Western Wei Dynasty still set up battle formations along the south side of Mang Mountain, with the great Situ Li Bi as the left-wing commander commanding Chen Bing in Mang Ridge. Otsuka Prime Minister Yu Wentai led the Chinese army to form an array at the foot of Mang Mountain. The formation stretched directly to the outside of Jinyong City, and Dazong Bo As the commander of the right wing, Zhao Gui not only took care of the battlefield, but also was responsible for the siege of Jinyong City, which had not yet been conquered.

The Northern Qi Dynasty also led the central army with Hu Lüjin as its commander, and his son Hu Luguang was also ordered in front of his tent. Gao Rui, king of Zhaojun, was the right army, and Pingyuan King Duan Shao was the left army.

On that day, the sky was cloudy and the wind was howling. Since the Northern Qi army had lost the upper hand, they had no choice but to form their formations against the wind. They were temporarily on the weak side on the battlefield. They consolidated their formation and were not in a hurry to launch an attack.

In the Western Wei Dynasty, the left army led by Li Bi took the lead in launching an offensive against the enemy. Their galloping horses rode the wind and their power increased by several points.

Although Gao Rui, Prince of Zhao County of the Northern Qi Dynasty who was fighting here, had a good reputation in the country, he was still just a young man with no rich military experience. After being attacked by Li Bi, a veteran on the battlefield, and his troops, it was inevitable that he would It was a bit awkward to deal with it, and soon the position was shaken by the impact of the elite cavalry of the Western Wei Dynasty.

The reason why Hu Lujin appointed Gao Rui as the commander-in-chief was because of Gao Rui's status, but naturally he would not completely rely on the other party. Seeing that Gao Rui failed to respond to the battle, the army's formation was greatly shaken, so he quickly dispatched King Fufeng However, Zhu Hunyuan led a group of troops to reinforce and stabilize the already wavering and shrinking formation.

At this time, drums were beating loudly among the Western Wei army. Following Yu Wentai's order, Li Yuan and other generals led their troops to charge towards the enemy formation on the opposite side. The entire battlefield was filled with the sound of killing.

In the Northern Qi army formation, Hu Lujin did not agree to the request of the cavalry generals to fight. Although the overall cavalry strength of the Northern Qi soldiers, especially the Jinyang soldiers, was much stronger than that of the Western Wei Dynasty, they were currently restricted by the climate and wind direction. Many cavalry tactics are inconvenient to display, and even if they reluctantly go into battle, it is difficult to achieve much results.

Therefore, Hu Lujin just ordered to consolidate the battle formation, and first faced the enemy division in infantry formation. The soldiers held fast to the formation, just like the rocks on the seaside were attacked by wild wolves, resisting the impact of the enemy's cavalry again and again.

"Strike forward!"

On the battlefield, Yu Wentai saw that the enemy's formation was solid and motionless, so he immediately ordered the concession formation to attack. Under the guidance of their respective flag orders, the Chinese army's brigade pressed towards the opponent's formation.

At this moment, there was a strong wind on the battlefield, and the cavalry strength was no longer suitable to attack. At this moment, even the effectiveness of the bows and crossbows was greatly reduced. Seeing the enemy army approaching, Hu Lujin ordered the troops below to attack. It shrinks inward, making the formation more dense, and trying to include the enemy's formation into the outflank of its two groups of troops.

Soon the infantry of both sides were fighting together. On the battlefield, the spears were like trees swaying in the wind, and the swords were like the flickering scales in the rivers and lakes. The soldiers who were fighting to the death were like insignificant weeds in the wilderness, constantly fighting each other. Hurt and harvest each other.

"There is no one in the East! Whoever charges into the battle will behead the thief general Hu Lüjin and be rewarded with the title of Duke and the title of Taiwei!"

Yu Wentai personally held his sword and supervised the battle. His eyes were fixed on the banner of the Qi army general Hu Lujin on the opposite side of the battlefield, and he shouted loudly about the extremely generous reward to encourage the soldiers.

After hearing this, the soldiers were extremely excited and rushed towards the enemy's central army, risking their lives. Under the charge of these Western Wei soldiers, the Qi army suddenly showed its weakness. The casualties of the soldiers in the array continued to increase, but the reinforcements from all sides could not arrive in time, and soon the formation was rushed out one by one. Through the gap, the powerful soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty rushed to within a few feet of the Hulujin Dahu.

"Hurry up and protect the king!"

Hu Luguang was wearing armor all over his body, and he was waving his horse spear vigorously to kill the enemy. There were already more than ten enemy corpses in front of him, but the enemies were still coming towards him one after another.

On the battlefield at this time, the fighting between the Chinese armies of both sides was the most intense. The right army where Prince Gao Rui of Zhao County was located was also being fought endlessly by the enemy and had no time to pay attention to him. As the Chinese army's front lines became increasingly tense, troops had to be deployed from other areas to stabilize the position. At this time, the only one on the battlefield who was most capable of providing reinforcements was the left army led by Duan Shao.

So when he saw that the enemy's offensive was getting closer and closer, Hu Lujin also ordered to beat the war drums, summoned Duan Shao's troops to move closer for reinforcements, and took advantage of the enemy's attraction to attack them. flank.

However, although the drums were sounded, Duan Shao's troops did not move closer. As the Central Army of the Western Wei Dynasty advanced, there was an obvious disconnect with its right wing. Since its right wing troops also had to besiege Jinyong City, it was difficult for them to flexibly adjust according to the entire battlefield situation, and they appeared to be very slow. .

Hearing the drum orders coming from the direction of the Chinese army, Duan Shao did not respond. After quickly weighing the situation on the battlefield, Dang even led his elite cavalry to charge towards the enemy's right wing.

Zhao Gui, the commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army, was very happy when he saw the Central Route Army rushing into the enemy's formation with great momentum and killing the enemy's formations, which were retreating steadily. Because he did not receive the order to cooperate with the battle, he ordered the army to beat drums. Cheer.

But soon Zhao Gui no longer had time to be a cheering spectator. Seeing a group of enemy cavalry charging towards him, he hurriedly ordered a formation to respond to the enemy. Because his formation here was arranged along the long perimeter outside Jinyong City, the formation was slightly long, narrow and thin. When the enemy troops rushed in quickly, because the flanks were completely exposed to the enemy's cavalry and iron-hoofed troops, they quickly fell Was broken into two pieces.

After cutting off the enemy's formation in the middle, Duan Shao did not slow down his pace. As soon as his horse turned around, he led his troops to charge straight towards the enemy's army. The formation here was quickly shattered by the impact. In order to avoid the enemy's cavalry charge, some soldiers even climbed directly into the long perimeter in panic.

At the same time, Dugu Yongye, who was still stubbornly resisting in Jinyong City, also saw the fighting on the battlefield on top of the city. When he ordered to summon the soldiers who were still fighting in the city, he led more than a thousand soldiers to rush out of the city. After climbing over the long siege, they attacked and killed the enemy.

Under the impact of the two parties, Zhao Gui's position became even more chaotic. Seeing that the enemy cavalry had rushed forward, he did not dare to hold on any longer and hurriedly ordered his close followers to evacuate behind him.

Due to the withdrawal of Zhao Gui's troops on the battlefield, a huge gap suddenly appeared in the Western Wei army's formation, especially the adjacent rear formation of Yuwentai's middle army was completely exposed to Duan Shao's fine cavalry. Duan Shao was naturally not polite about this. After mopping up the defeated soldiers nearby, he immediately led his troops to rush towards the enemy formation.

"My lord, the eldest uncle has escaped again!"

On the battlefield, Yuwentai was still personally commanding the army to attack, intending to surround and kill the enemy general Hulujin. Suddenly he heard the report from his own soldiers. When he turned his head and looked to the side of the battlefield, he discovered that the rear formation had been occupied by the enemy. The rush to kill was a mess.

"No, don't panic, kill first, kill the thieves first, then you can win..."

Yu Wentai pointed at Hu Lujin in front of him who was being helped up by his troops and retreated in panic. He still ordered in his mouth. However, before he could finish his words, he felt pain in his head as if it was exploding. His vision suddenly fell into darkness and he leaned back. Unfortunately, I don’t know the personnel.
