Chapter 837 836 [Qianqijuanpinggang]

The sunlight in mid-October was not that bright, the north wind was blowing on the hills, and fallen leaves were falling on the ground. This was supposed to be an extremely ordinary and dull autumn afternoon.

When Pei Yue appeared in the distance with two thousand cavalry, the atmosphere immediately changed towards a murderous one.

Fang Yunsong looked at the figure standing in front of the formation in the distance. On his face, he looked calm, but in his heart, there was a constant battle between heaven and man.

Before today, he was afraid of the great reputation of the Tibetan Front Guards in past battles, so he took the initiative to give in and monitor. This was not because he lacked courage, but because cavalry was too precious to the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Before he was certain,

He could not easily deplete Dingshan Camp's strength. Even if both sides fought to the death, Fang Yunsong would find it difficult to accept this outcome.

Fortunately, Pei Yue did not take the initiative to ask for a fight, but just tried every means to escape with his hidden front guards. At first, Fang Yunsong was happy to see this happen. After all, the focus of this battle was on Jiangling City, not the two thousand cavalry on the opposite side.

However, as Pei Yue continued to attack the counties in Ningzhou, Fang Yunsong had to make a decision, otherwise Ningzhou would be turned into a mess by Pei Yue before the battle on Jiangling was completed. Logically speaking, before he attacks Ningzhou,

After the prefecture and county issued a warning to fortify the walls and clear the country, and borrowed 5,000 infantry from the Ningguo camp, the wisest choice for the other side was to continue escaping to the west.

Pei Yue didn't do that.

The meeting at this moment seemed too ordinary, as if he had been waiting in this plain area for a long time.

Fang Yunsong is cautious by nature. In terms of calmness and patience, he is even better than Fang Yuntian. Otherwise, he would not be able to practice archery with a hundred steps. The scene in front of him made him subconsciously feel weird. Where did Pei Yue's confidence come from?

"Second Young Master, the Liang people are so arrogant, what a God-given opportunity! I am not talented, but I am willing to capture that guy for Second Young Master!" The general standing next to Fang Yunsong is named Li Cunnian, who is the infantry commander of the Ningguo camp.

, responsible for commanding the five thousand infantry.

Fang Yunsong considered it over and over again. After all, the opponent only had 2,000 cavalry, while his own side had 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry. With a strength gap of four times, should we flee without fighting?

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said: "Li Dutong, please lead the troops to guard the rear army, and then advance slowly!"

"Okay!" Li Cunnian shouted and immediately returned to his own infantry formation.

The war broke out.

…

Pei Yue looked at the opponent's military formation that was beginning to advance. He leaned over and touched the neck of his mount, and said softly: "Old man, I have worked hard for you today. I will treat you to a good meal after you are done."

The horse shook its head and neighed several times as if it was human.

Pei Yue smiled, took a deep breath slowly, and said loudly: "We meet on a narrow road——"

The soldiers behind him blushed and roared: "The brave one wins!"

"kill!"

Before he finished speaking, two thousand cavalrymen urged their horses forward, like a huge wave sweeping across the green grass, rushing towards the Southern Zhou cavalry and infantry armies.

Over there, Fang Yunsong waved his hand, and three thousand riders came forward to meet him with solemn expressions.

At this moment, Pei Yue shouted sharply: "Point!"

The high-speed charging Daliang cavalry suddenly split into two. Pei Yue led half of his troops to continue galloping in the previous direction. The target was naturally the Dingshan camp led by Fang Yunsong. Tang Linfen changed direction with a thousand cavalrymen who came out of Jiangling City.

, drew an arc during the attack, and were clearly heading towards the Southern Zhou infantry advancing in formation behind the Dingshan camp.

No matter Fang Yunsong or Li Cunnian, they all became angry after noticing this change. The gap in military strength between the two sides was so huge. These Beiliang people actually dared to divide their troops. They were clearly dreaming of eating everyone on their own side. They were all licking their swords on the battlefield.

A bloody man, no one can bear such contempt and humiliation, even Fang Yunsong, who has always been steady, has red eyes.

In a blink of an eye, the two elite cavalrymen were about a hundred paces closer.

There was no need for the general to give orders. Both sides raised their bows and set arrows at the same time. The rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun, and came with a crash.

It was only then that Fang Yunsong discovered a problem. Due to the obvious gap in numbers, the Dingshan camp stretched into a long shape nearly one mile wide during the charge, while the Zangfengwei maintained an extremely compact conical charge with their superb horse control skills.

People around him kept getting hit by arrows and fell off their horses. Fang Yunsong forced himself to calm down, staring at Pei Yue opposite him. He reached out and grabbed three long arrows, and opened the horn bow on the high-speed horse. In an instant, it was like a full moon, and the strings were like thunder.

.

This was the first time that Pei Yue saw someone being able to perform a three-game combo while charging on horseback.

A whistling sound hit me.

Pei Yue concentrated on it and slashed with his sword without hesitation.

One arrow flew over his head, another missed his ear, and the third was cut off by his sword.

This was just a small episode during the confrontation between the two sides. Fang Yunsong never thought that he could succeed when the other party was on guard, but Pei Yue could deal with his strongest archery so easily, which made him feel a little gloomy.

The distance of a hundred steps passed in an instant, and the Zangfeng Guards broke into the heart of Dingshan Camp. This time they did not choose the repeated penetration that they were best at in the past. Instead, after the speed of their mounts slowed down, they started fighting on the spot in groups of ten.

At the foot of Jiangling City, Fang Yunsong saw with his own eyes that the Jinwu Guards were killed by two charges. At that time, he was shocked and could not help but be a little contemptuous. He always felt that General Xia Fei had a false reputation. Two thousand against two thousand was not one of the Beiliang cavalry at all.

The enemy of unity.

It was only now that the two sides were locked in a fight, and Pei Yue, with only one thousand cavalry, was inextricably defeated by his three thousand, did he realize that he had still underestimated the power of this Beiliang cavalry.

On the other side of the battlefield, Tang Linfen led a thousand cavalry to attack Li Cunnian's infantry formation.

Facing the high-speed maneuvering cavalry, the infantry could only choose to go on the defensive. Li Cunnian was not afraid of this. On the contrary, he was looking forward to the opponent rushing forward. From ancient times to the present, the confrontation between infantry and cavalry has been a very complicated issue and is by no means simple.

Conflict. In order to deal with the impact of the cavalry, the Southern Zhou Military Department thought of many ways, and finally decided on the strategy of forming a formation of armored spearmen to meet the enemy.

Looking at the Beiliang cavalry rushing towards them like a tidal wave, Li Cunnian sneered at the corners of his mouth.

It's time for these Liang people with eyes above their heads to taste what it means to have spears like a forest.

However, the next moment the smile solidified on his face.

Tang Linfen charged forward with the Tibetan front guards. When he was about thirty steps away from the Southern Zhou infantry formation, he suddenly changed direction, from going straight forward to sliding past like a swimming fish, with an extremely graceful and elegant posture.

Immediately afterwards, these cavalrymen drew long arrows from their quivers and circled the infantry formation, displaying their extremely superb riding and shooting skills.

Of course there are archers among the infantry of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, but they are like wooden stakes stuck on the ground at the moment, while the opponent is the cavalry that is constantly moving at high speed. How can they meet the enemy if they are competing with each other?

Li Cunnian looked at the extremely passive situation and murmured: "Huan She..."

The infantry must ensure the stability of the formation, otherwise it will be torn to pieces by the cavalry. Li Cunnian certainly understood this truth, but he just did not expect that the opponent's cavalry general was so experienced and shameless.

But he could still keep his composure, because the cavalry's arrows would eventually run out.

We just need to be patient for a moment longer, waiting for the Dingshan camp in front to win and then encircle them.

Fang Yunsong naturally understood this. The key to this battle was whether he could defeat a thousand cavalry led by Pei Yue himself. However, what he still couldn't figure out was why Pei Yue still chose to fight when the battle situation in front of him was already tense.

?

A terrible thought suddenly occurred in his mind. This was not fighting, but confusing the situation and holding him back.

But by the time he realized it, it was already too late.

Pei Yue hacked to death a Southern Zhou cavalryman, turned his head and looked into the distance, showing a relaxed smile.

To the northwest of this vast plain, black spots appeared in his sight, and then gradually gathered into an unstoppable torrent, rushing towards this direction.

Huanghuang's four thousand cavalrymen, led by Gu Fan, who is now becoming more and more mature, appeared almost like a miracle at a time that Fang Yunsong could never expect, and entered the battlefield like an invincible spear!
