Royal road

Where did this cavalry come from? !

Before the start of the battle, Liu Cong specially withdrew from the rear army and dispatched scouts, just to guard against sneak attacks.For most generals, the best time to sneak attack is when the two armies are facing each other.An unexpected partial division is enough to cause chaos.How could Liu Cong take it lightly when he went deep into the enemy's territory?

Unexpectedly, the scouts never saw the shadow of ambushes at all, and in such a vicious battle, there was no one man and a half horse, harassing the flanks of the army.That's why Liu Cong chose to withdraw his troops and leave the enemy's attack range as soon as possible.

But who ever thought that just after retreating, the ambush came.Still a cavalry!Half of the soldiers were lost, and they fled again. Morale has fallen to the bottom. Even if the cavalry of the Jin army has always been weak, it is not easy to deal with!

Liu Cong's eyes almost burst into flames, but he refused to stand still, and shouted sharply: "Swords and shields! Stop them!"

At this moment, it is too late to line up and shoot in bursts. The best way is to block with a shield, and then use the difference in numbers to surround the enemy cavalry and annihilate them one by one.Even if he is newly defeated, he still has nearly [-] infantry, while the opponent only has a mere [-] cavalry, what can I do?

There was no mistake in this command, the sword and shield hands quickly formed an formation, guarding the front, and guarding the side with long spears.Whether it is a hard attack or a sweep of its flanks, it is impossible to break through this solid wall.

However, that cavalry team didn't intend to stop at all, instead, they accelerated their speed and rushed towards them as if they were flying.In their hands, the long spears tore through the strong wind and roared like thunder.

"Ma Qiang?!" Liu Cong exclaimed.

Until now, he did not see clearly the weapon in the opponent's hand.It was a spear about eight feet long, designed for cavalry!But horse lances are extremely expensive, and it takes three years to make one, and the success rate is less than [-]%. No one can make it except for aristocratic families.In addition, the lance is heavy and cannot be used by non-violent generals. How can it be possible to equip an army of thousands of lances?

I can't stand him thinking too much.With a loud bang, the group of horses collided with the shield array, and the tooth-sickening sound of wood cracking sounded immediately!I saw that the spears in the hands of those cavaliers were broken one after another, and they were broken with just one blow. How could it be a horse?

However, one blow is enough!

The human wall was torn apart, and the huge impact force of the horses fell on the shield through the wooden spears, which was enough to make any shield holder stand still. The belly is rotten and lifeless.No one could stop such a terrifying attack, and a corner of the camp that had been formed with great difficulty was torn apart.

Those knights immediately dropped the broken spears in their hands, took their knives and came in.This is to gallop on horseback, and there are sharp knives to open the way.Along the way, blood sprayed and screams continued.Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, where it passes is nothing but remnants!

"Stop! Stop!" Liu Cong roared loudly, urging him to stop immediately.

However, the enemy was extremely cunning and did not engage in battle with the Chinese army. Instead, they stabbed obliquely and pierced through the dense camp without any effort, from the front to the tail of the formation, and rushed out of the encirclement with countless lives.The entire army formation was torn in half!

This is the most effective attack of the cavalry. Usually, only the Huns drove the enemy away and tore apart the enemy camp.Have you ever encountered the same style of play?But those enemy cavalry are so experienced that it makes people crazy, as if they were born on horseback, not inferior to those terrifying Xianbei iron cavalry.

One penetration is not enough.The cavalry quickly turned around and rushed back from the left wing again!There was no horn, no howl, and no command to attack. They were like silent tigers and wolves, showing their minions and fangs, and pounced on the throat of their prey.

Liu Cong did not hesitate this time, leading his own soldiers to meet him.He must stop this group of cavalry, slow them down, and use the superiority in numbers to crush the enemy!The five hundred soldiers around him are his most elite subordinates, and they will not back down even in the face of the Xianbei iron cavalry, let alone the Jin army!

But these people are not from Jin.

When he rushed to the front of the formation, Liu Cong finally saw the faces of those cavalrymen clearly.They are not Jin people, but Jiehu with high noses, deep eyes, curvy hair and different pupils!There are even some cavalry who look like experienced Hun knights!

Buddha can use Hu!A chill ran up his spine, Liu Cong gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Kill! Scatter them..."

Before the words fell, the gust of wind rang!A clump of crossbow arrows is coming!

Among the enemy riders, there were more than a hundred handle crossbows conjured up, and the arrows flashed like poisonous snakes spitting out letters, and they rushed straight to the door!

Liu Cong's reaction was so quick, he tried his best to avoid the critical point, but there was still a crossbow bolt nailed to his shoulder, and the burning pain rushed up, which made him even more angry!This group of people actually have hand crossbows? !Why didn't you use crossbow strikes for the first time to charge? !

Unfortunately, no one answered his question.

A silver light came towards him, Liu Cong raised the long knife in his hand with all his strength, and went to meet it!The blades collided in one place, making an ear-piercing golden sound.He is known for his physical strength, but this time, Liu Cong didn't hold the long knife firmly. As soon as his arm softened, the silver light kissed his cheek. Horror eyes.

In a flash, Liu Cong reacted.Such a brave person must be the leader of the enemy army!

"General!" Four or five soldiers rushed forward and blocked the man's attack.

Liu Cong yelled desperately, "Keep him!"

The personal soldiers have lost a lot, but they still have the power to fight!As long as he is kept, this group of cavalry will be held back!They have the hope of turning defeat into victory!He can use himself as bait to entangle this person's footsteps!

However, the pair of gray-blue eyes did not stay on Liu Cong, and the Wusun steed under the seat gave a long cry and rushed forward.Chopping, chopping, picking, and wiping, the Jie man seemed to grow on the back of a horse, moving and fighting, and every blow could take away a life.until you reach your goal.

With a click, the flagpole was split into two sections, and the handsome flag flickered and fell into the dust.

"You..." Liu Cong covered his injured cheek with one hand, his heart was as cold as ice.

The opponent's target is not him at all, but Shuai Qi!To capture the flag is to be handsome!What the Jie people want is the morale of the 1 people!Passed through the camp twice, and chopped down the handsome flag with a single knife.Can the remaining soldiers be stopped?

At this moment, the drums sounded.Rumbling non-stop, like a drum that reminds one's life!The enemies left behind are catching up!

The last glimmer of hope was brutally crushed.The camp was in chaos, and the scattered soldiers who were rushed turned around and ran in all directions.They couldn't stop the cavalry, let alone the terrifying spear formation, they had to run away to save their lives!No one cares about military discipline anymore, no one misses the coach anymore.The handsome flags are down, who else can save their lives?

Like a punctured beehive, the mountains and plains are full of defeated soldiers!

"General! Run away!" A soldier beside him persuaded.

An arrow in the body and an injury on the face, but they were not as severe as the blow of this rout.Liu Cong gritted his teeth, he didn't know if it was anger, hatred, or fear.As soon as he pulled the rein, he kicked his horse and fled towards the way he came.Behind him, two hundred soldiers followed closely, protecting his commander, fleeing in embarrassment.

Another slash with the knife, hot blood splashed on his face, Yi Yan didn't even wipe it off, he looked up.Beside, there are no enemies anymore.Everyone is fleeing, running desperately in any direction that can escape.No one can close such a rout.He completely defeated the incoming enemy.

"Captain, there should be the enemy commander over there. Do you want to chase him?" Wang Long rode his horse to Yiyan's side and asked excitedly.Killing made him flush, victory made him thirst for more blood and heads.

Looking at the galloping cavalry in the distance, Yi Yan shook his head: "No need."

For this battle, he has made countless preparations, from the initial heart attack, to the selection of the location of the first battle, to the location and time of the ambush, every seemingly light victory hides planning and as detailed preparations as possible.Therefore, even if he encountered the enemy commander in the army formation, he would just pass by and take the commander's flag.Now that the enemy army has been defeated, it will not waste precious troops for the life of the enemy chieftain.

"Order all the ministries to chase down the defeated soldiers, don't let them stop. Send another team to Gaodu to support Zhang He." No one knows better than Yi Yan that the battle is not over yet.He tried his best to defeat this group of soldiers and horses, but there were still partial divisions by his side.If one is inadvertent, it may happen again.

Gaodu and Liangfu are the foundation of the lord, so there is no room for loss!

His family members are still in the Liang Mansion, how could Wang Long not know their importance.With a restrained expression on his face, he said in a deep voice, "I'll send someone there right away!"

After speaking, he rode his horse and rushed to the rear.

Taking another look at the group of deserters who were almost invisible, Yiyan pulled the reins and galloped towards the camp.

■

Flames and scorched smoke rose into the sky.Outside the gate of Liangfuzhai, there are endless flames.Several villages that had been evacuated caught fire, and the burning sky turned red.

Liu Yao rode on the horse and looked at the scene in front of him coldly.Strong walls and clear fields?If a few more villages are burned, I don't know if the soldiers and horses of the Liang Mansion can sit still!

Ordered to attack Gaodu, Liu Yao rode lightly all the way straight in.However, after reaching the city, he found himself facing a wilderness and a closed city gate.Gaodu City had already been fortified in advance, the city was heightened, and the moat was newly built. The city walls were full of soldiers and civilians, and there were even bed crossbows, which looked like they were ready for battle.

There is really no chance of winning with five thousand light cavalry attacking such a city.Liu Yao left Gaodu and went straight to Liangfu.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the Liang Mansion, what they faced was also a towering city.The huge gate of the stone and wood structure is built against the mountain, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even surpassing Gaodu.It is not cost-effective to attack such a strong city, so Liu Yao chose another method: burning the village.

Regardless of whether there are people in the village or not, as long as it is burned to the ground, it can disturb people's hearts.This is the residence of the Shangdang prefect, if there is a fire nearby, will those county magistrates be able to sit still?Can the family soldiers who stick to the stronghold sit still?

His task is to attack the city, but also to disturb the enemy.Which one comes first and which one comes after is up to him alone.Wait until tomorrow, when the peasants captured from outside Shangdang arrive, they can start attacking the city!

I don't know where Liu Cong's troops went.I can't lose the battle!

"General, the last village is also on fire." A scout rushed to report.

"Set camp on the spot! The attack on the Liang Mansion will begin tomorrow!" Liu Yao ordered coldly.

This is not a way to lure the enemy.If that group of soldiers couldn't bear it and went out to fight or sneak attack in the middle of the night, he could let them know how different his soldiers were from the five thousand soldiers who attacked Lucheng before!

Against the backdrop of the raging flames, the army set up camp and began to bury the fire and make food.This night is destined to be difficult.

"Vice battalion, don't you want to fight?" On the watchtower of Liang's mansion, several generals gritted their teeth.Those Huns burned the villages of the Yihu in the Liang Mansion!How can people be willing to burn a farm that took a year to build? !

"Naturally. But wait for the opportunity!" Zhang He said in a deep voice.

He had just received the letter that the frontal attacking enemy had been wiped out by Yiying, and reinforcements were coming here.how to spell?That is the most critical question now.

The mansion has less than 500 troops, and [-] people went to support Gaodu.Using these recruits to fight is really risky.How to expel these Hun cavalry, or even wipe them out, is not an easy problem.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang He ordered: "Let the scouts join the reinforcements. We must try our best to change the battlefield!"

Annihilating the enemy on the predetermined battlefield is the first thing that all Liang family soldiers learn.If the war is not good for you, you must try your best to create strong conditions.

Now that you're here, take the risk and give it a try!
