Chapter 457: Relying on the Strong and Bullying the Weak(1/2)
The cold wind is getting stronger, and the sky has already gradually turned dark when the Qinling Mountains in early winter have just arrived at Youshi. At the first moment of Youshi, five hundred rebel cavalry in black clothes and black armor made final preparations for the expedition, carefully checking their horses, weapons, supplies, and torches.
,Tinder and Felt and other night battles
It was necessary. By the second quarter of the hour, the sky was basically dark. With the assistance of two cavalry generals Gao Zhensheng and Liang Jianfang, Li Er personally led the black-armored cavalry out of the camp. Under the cover of the night, he quickly touched the ground.
Lishan highland to the southeast.
Before leaving, Li Er and his deputy Li Xiaogong discussed a precautionary communication signal. They agreed that if the rebel camp was in emergency or other accidents occurred, Li Xiaogong would light a fire in the rear camp as a signal, and Li Er would immediately lead his troops back to the main camp to reinforce the camp.
In fact, Li Er has been thinking about Lishan Mountain for a long time. Li Er, who grew up in Daxing, often came to Lishan Mountain for shooting and hunting. He is quite familiar with the terrain in this area - at least more familiar than the poor man Chen Sangliang, who knows Lishan Mountain.
The terrain is high in the east and low in the west, especially the terrain in the northwest is the gentlest, which is very suitable for cavalry to charge from a high position.
The front (clearly visible on the satellite map), so after leaving the camp, even with only a few torches for lighting, Li Er still knew the way and led the cavalry straight to the northwest corner of Lishan Mountain, hiding on a relatively flat hillside, condescending
Looking down at the road between the two army camps, patiently waiting for the arrival of Chen Sangliang's surprise attack troops.
"Twenty sentries are arranged to closely monitor the movements at the bottom of the mountain. The others should wrap up in blankets and rest. The officers and soldiers will rob the camp and will not start until the second watch at the earliest. We still have some rest time."
What Li Er never dreamed of was that at the same time as he finished speaking, while his main soldiers were still seizing the time to rest, 20,000 Sui army soldiers had already begun to quietly leave the camp to assemble, without lighting torches and controlling the sound.
, each camp was lined up according to the establishment, everyone had enough food and water, everyone also brought enough food and torches, their swords and guns were polished sharply, their horses were fed with fodder, and they were gearing up just to wait for Chen Sangliang's order to attack.
After temporarily entrusting the affairs of the camp to Wei Zheng, and giving instructions to be prepared to prevent rebels from raiding the Sui camp, Chen Sangliang led his soldiers out of the camp and came under his Chen Zishuai flag. It happened to be the beginning of Xu Shi
Correction, Chen Sangliang casually gave another instruction, "Light the torch and set off."
The torches soaked in kerosene were lit one by one, and the front of the Sui army camp was quickly illuminated as brightly as day. At the same time, the two thousand cavalry led by Cheng Yaojin set off and pounced on the twelve soldiers with lightning speed.
The rebel camps inside and outside. At the same time, the bed bugle had just been blown in the rebel camp, and Li Er and others who were ambushing in the mountain had just discovered the abnormal fire in the Sui army camp, and had no time to confirm what was going on.
"What happened? Why are there more fires in the army camp? Is there a troop mobilization, or is it a temporary bonfire to prevent night attacks?"
When Li Er was still wondering about the reason for the abnormal fire in the Sui army camp, the sound of thunderous horse hooves suddenly came. Then Li Er, who was standing down, was dumbfounded and clearly saw a huge number of Sui army cavalry with dense torches, charging and killing them quickly.
Towards his camp, the speed was extremely fast, and in just a blink of an eye, Li
Li Er passed by in front of him, rushing towards his camp like a torrent. Immediately afterwards, a thought suddenly appeared in Li Er's mind, and he said to himself: "Oops, Chen Yingliang fell into the trap. The little thief didn't want to rob the camp, but wanted to
During the night attack, our camp was only protected by a thin fence, which could not stop him."
"Right Governor, the army and cavalry have gone to our camp, what should we do?" Gao Zhensheng and Liang Jianfang next to them also panicked and quickly asked Li Er: "Right Governor, what should we do? Should we return to the camp immediately to aid?"
After only being stunned for a moment, Li Er calmed down. After careful calculation, Li Er, who was thinking very quickly, immediately had the answer. He gritted his teeth and said: "No matter how crude our military camp is, it is protected by fences.
The cavalry is not so easy to win. After the official cavalry, there must be a large group of infantry following. We continue to lurk and wait for the enemy infantry group to appear."
At the same time, the rebel camp finally discovered the sudden attack of the Sui army. The clanging gong alarm room, the main soldiers who were still queuing up to receive dinner, and the rebel auxiliary soldiers who were arranging an ambush in the camp were all in a panic.
In panic, Li Xiaogong, Wang Junkuo and other deputy Li also
He was dumbfounded. He never dreamed that the Sui army would launch an attack at this time. After finally coming to his senses, Li Xiaogong quickly ordered the rear camp to light a fire and asked Li Er for help. He also quickly organized troops to strictly guard the camp gates and fence lines to prevent the Sui army from attacking.
The opportunity for soldiers to enter the camp.
Li Xiaogong's response was not slow, but the Sui army's cavalry arrived too quickly. When the rebel soldiers were hurriedly setting up defenses beside the fence, the cavalry led by Cheng Yaojin had already reached the gate of the camp. Seeing the rebels' panic, they had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
, Cheng Yaojin made a prompt decision and immediately ordered a hundred cavalry to step forward to attack and destroy the rebel camp.
The soldiers of the Sui army followed the order, and a hundred warriors dismounted and walked, shouting and rushing towards the gate of the rebel camp. Some cavalry flew out of the noose to set up the rebel fence, and tried hard to pull down the fence.
, the rebel soldiers who had not yet completed their defenses hurriedly fought and started an offensive and defensive battle with the Sui cavalry on the fence fortifications.
At the same time, the main infantry brigade of the Sui Army was already rushing towards the rebel camp. Tens of thousands of torches were as dense as stars, overwhelming the sky, and the official road to the north of Lishan was illuminated. The momentum was very alarming.
.see this
Seeing the situation, and seeing that the emergency signal had been sent out by the army camp, the rebel cavalry around Li Er was inevitably even more anxious and panicked. They rushed to ask Li Er: "Right Commander, what should I do? If we don't go back, we will be too late.
?”
"Shut up," Li Er shouted, "It's too late to go back. There are so many officers and soldiers, so many elites. We, the five hundred cavalry, will just sprinkle a handful of salt into the sea when we go back, and it won't have any effect."
After stopping the troops, Li Er pointed at the main force of the Sui army that was galloping westward, and said fiercely: "The only way we can now is to raid the official infantry brigade and kill its infantry. Only then can we turn defeat into victory and turn the tide of the war."
.”
Looking at the massive main infantry of the Sui army at the foot of the mountain, the rebel cavalry all swallowed quietly, but Li Er showed no fear and said loudly: "There is no need to be afraid. The army infantry is eager to reinforce the forward cavalry. They only care about speed during the march."
For precautions, especially the flanks must be very fragile
We are weak, and it is difficult to see how many soldiers and horses we have in the dark. As long as we move fast enough and are determined to win, we will be able to completely overwhelm all the army and infantry with one charge, just like during the Huoyi War.
, I give the order and immediately follow the attack to the foot of the mountain."
Fortunately for Li Er, many of the rebel cavalry he brought were soldiers who had participated in the Huoyi War. They had witnessed Li Er's miracle of turning defeat into victory with a small number of cavalry. After listening to Li Er's encouragement
Afterwards, confidence greatly increased, and many
Everyone got on their horses and prepared, waiting for the fighter plane to appear from a high position. Li Er once again took the lead and rode his horse to the front. With his delicate red phoenix eyes rounded, he nervously watched the main force of the Sui army at the foot of the mountain, looking for the weak points of the Sui army's ranks.
A tall military flag suddenly appeared in Li Er's field of vision. Although it was too far away to see what was written on the flag, but judging from the fact that it was obviously higher than other military flags, Li Er immediately concluded that this military flag was
He must be Shuai Qi, his love rival and mortal enemy Chen Sangliang. Thinking of all the humiliations he suffered before,
, new and old hatreds came to his mind, and Li Er immediately made up his mind to directly attack the military flag from the side, and strive to take off the enemy's dirty head. So when the military flag was about to come to the front of the mountain,
Li Er didn't hesitate anymore, immediately raised his sword and shouted: "Right now, charge with me -"
"Kill -" amidst the uniform shouts, the rebel cavalry, known as the Xuanjia Cavalry in later generations, followed up in waves, followed Li Er, and fiercely charged towards Chen Sangliang's command flag, and the first to bear the brunt
The Sui army team was also the Sui army Luo Shixin's department
It must be admitted that Li Er's judgment of the enemy's situation was actually unique. Although the cavalry behind him was only about 500 people, in the dark night, he suddenly heard shouts of death coming from above his head, and saw an unknown number of soldiers and cavalrymen.
The cavalrymen whose identities were unknown suddenly came down from a high position to kill. The Sui army officers on the left couldn't help but panic. They shouted at their own general: "The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking General Luo, what should I do? What should I do?"
The panic of the Sui army officers quickly subsided, because they suddenly saw that their chief general Luo Shixin was not at all flustered and nervous, but he also grinned and stretched out his bright red tongue to lick the bright saber in his hand. His expression was extremely excited and ferocious until he licked it.
When the knife was cut, Luo Shixin yelled: "Why are you panicking? Chen Liushou, our Chen Liushou, has anticipated this for a long time. There is no need to be afraid, just hold on to me."
At the same time, after taking a look at the rebel cavalry rushing down from the mountain shouting, Chen Sangliang curled his lips disdainfully, and then shouted: "Send the order to the entire army to continue moving forward. The enemy's ambush will be handed over to Luo Shixin and the Baoguo Army."
Clean up the rest of the army and continue to move forward with all your strength to reinforce our forward."
At this time, Li Er's extremely fast cavalry had plunged into the Sui army's waist like a knife. However, what surprised Li Er was that although his cavalry had achieved some results by virtue of its inertia advantage, it rushed away.
The Sui army was on the first and second floors outside, but encountered a tenacious blockade on the third and fourth floors. The Sui army officers and soldiers who hurriedly formed a horizontal line fired fiercely with their spears.
He poked the rebel cavalry, trying to get injured and trampled to death, but he also stabbed the rebel cavalry with spears and spears. One of the spears almost hit Li Er's handsome little face. The result was that although the Sui army infantry did this
Although they paid a lot of casualties, they successfully blocked the charge of the rebel cavalry and prevented the rebel cavalry from continuing to penetrate deeper into the Sui army.
"Kill" knew that the opportunity to fight was fleeting. Even if he noticed that the enemy's tenacity was unexpected, Li Er did not dare to hesitate at all. He shouted and immediately waved his swords to kill the enemy. The rebel cavalry beside him also slashed with swords and spears.
He poked and slashed the enemies in front of him with all his strength, and once achieved considerable results. However, at this moment,
The rebel cavalry suddenly discovered that among the enemies opposite them, there was a general who was braver and more crazy. He wielded his double swords and slashed and slashed. In the blink of an eye, he killed two rebel soldiers and wounded one rebel cavalry.
, led by him, the officers and soldiers of the Sui army mustered up the courage to fight tenaciously, fighting on foot and on horseback without falling behind.
At this time, something happened that shocked the rebel cavalry. Amid the shouts, hundreds of Sui army cavalry suddenly came from behind the Sui army group. They were braver and crazier than the rebel cavalry, and they were all wearing clothes.
The iconic white robes. Wherever they went, the Sui infantry gave way, and cheers broke out. The rebel cavalry who had heard the name of this cavalry for a long time also screamed, "The white robes are for the official army."
"First Elite News"
"How come the newspaper is at the rear of the official army?" Li Er was also shocked. However, when he saw the Sui army's brigade continuing to advance calmly except for the left wing army, Li Er suddenly realized it and screamed in despair: "Oh no!
The ambush of the young thief Chen Yingliang had been anticipated, so he deployed elite troops on the left wing to entertain me, and also had his first elite ambush in the rear team, ready to reinforce the battlefield on the left wing. The young thief Chen Yingliang was already prepared, and I was completely prepared this time.
There is no hope”
There is really no hope. Although the prototype rebel cavalry of the Black Armor Cavalry are very brave, good at fighting, and well equipped, they are extremely unlucky this time to encounter the more brave and better fighting cavalry of the Patriot Army, not to mention that the equipment is better than them.
, and every soldier from top to bottom is an elite soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles, even if an ordinary soldier throws it
Other armies have enough experience and record to serve as brigade commanders. It is no exaggeration to say that their battlefield experience is a hundred times better than that of the rebel cavalry. In the face of such an army, the rebel cavalry can only barely parry at best, but has no ability to fight back.
With such ability, the reported National Army charged into the core of their team and were forced to engage in a close-quarters melee.
The rebel cavalry still suffers in close melee combat. The rebel cavalry, which pursues speed, are only equipped with ordinary black iron armor. However, everyone wears the best Mingguang armor. The defensive power is much higher than that of the rebel cavalry. The same strength of swords and guns
If chopped on the body, only a piece of the Mingguang Armor of the retribution soldier may be left.
If there are no dents or gaps, the rebel cavalry will definitely be injured or even killed. In addition, the soldiers have always pursued speed, ruthlessness and accuracy without any pretense.
The army cavalry chopped down until ghosts cried and wolves howled, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and it was difficult to parry.
What's even worse is what's behind. When Li Er raised his two swords high to parry a powerful and heavy cooked copper stick, the enemy on the opposite side suddenly shouted, "It's Li Shimin, the son of the old thief Li Yuan. Brothers Li Shimin, hurry up and arrest him."
Live with Li Shimin"
"What the hell, why did you meet Chen Ci who knows me?" Li Er also recognized that the enemy opposite was Chen Ci, whom he had met several times during the Yanmen Battle. Then, before Li Er could make any other reaction, Chen Ci
Another stick swept forward and hit Li Er on the head, forcing Li Er to lower his head and dodge.
"What? Li Shimin?" The officers and soldiers of the Sui army screamed, and then bursts of cheers suddenly broke out, "Capture Li Shimin alive, capture Li Shimin alive"
"What? Li Shimin is here?" The little monster Luo Shixin, who was fighting fiercely with the rebel cavalry, also heard these sounds. Luo Shixin was so happy that he didn't even bother to take the credit for attacking the rebel camp. He waved his swords vigorously and just pointed directly at
Li Er rushed over, shouting continuously, "Brothers, surround them and capture Li Shimin alive. Those who capture him alive will get more credit."
A large number of Sui army infantry had already surrounded the rebel cavalry in a semicircle. After hearing Luo Shixin's roaring order, the Sui army soldiers continued to move happily and quickly extended to the two wings to block the rebel cavalry in both directions.
