Chapter 838 North of the City (Part 2)
Although he was urged to the army, when Ling Tong noticed the sand and dust dancing on the wilderness and the grass leaves floating, he was inevitably nervous.
After all, that was a fierce man who swept across the Jiangdong generals. Confronting him was as military tactics said. If you die, you will live, and if you are lucky, you will die. You must not have any thoughts of luck!
Ling Tong murmured to himself: The Ling family of Wujun is a martial family that started with a rich man. The father and son can stand in troubled times because they can fight tough battles and dare to fight tough battles!
At this time, my father's voice, appearance and smile seemed to appear before him again. Ling Tong gritted his teeth and encouraged himself again: the enemy's battles all day long must be extremely tired; so many Jiangdong generals had at least consumed the enemy's army. I can win this battle! I must win!
There are some things that Lu Meng has always kept hidden from Ling Tong, and Ling Tong never asked about them. But even if he doesn't ask about them, some rumors will always come to his ears. So when Lu Meng said something, he has his own way to win, Ling Tong roughly understood.
Once he understood, Ling Tong only felt deeply humiliated.
The warriors in Jiangdong were unable to deal with the enemies in Jiangdong, and the lord had to ask outsiders for help.
The lord of Jiangdong cannot trust the warriors of Jiangdong, but puts the hope of decisive victory on the original enemy!
Ling Tong simply didn't want to think about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt ashamed; the more he thought about it, the more he inspired his fighting spirit!
At least we have to fight with Lei Yuan, Lujiang! We can’t let Cao’s army think that there is no one in Jiangdong!
Thinking of this, as if arranged in advance, the sound of sharp bone flutes came one after another on the huge width on the left and right sides of the queue. There was no need to scout to reward him. Ling Tong's heart suddenly tightened. It was a signal from the Qiang and Hu cavalry, and Lei Yuan attacked directly!
Ling Tong shouted: "Each division is stopped! The crossbowman is ready!"
The next moment, the sound of hooves roared!
Two teams of Qiang and Hu cavalry, each with three or four hundred men, appeared in front of Ling Tong. They shouted wildly, crossed the undulating grass slopes, and rushed from the left and right sides of the array.
"Good come!" Ling Tong waved the order flag repeatedly, and the light soldiers on both wings immediately contracted to the inside, while the formation of the Central Army's soldiers surged, and four teams of 100 people poked out like the wrists and feet of the deep sea giants, pushing them to the flanks to prevent them.
His team took the brave men among the Shanyue soldiers as their minions and the tenacious men among the Jianghuai refugees as their backbone, and was determined to be war-resistant. Ling Tong devoted everything he had made in his family's sacrificial city to the soldiers, and the training was even more stringent than ordinary generals.
Under strict training, the infantry changes arrays as they move forward quickly, and they are extremely familiar and flowing, without any flaws or flaws.
The two teams of Qiang and Hu cavalry were also veterans on the battlefield. Although they came fiercely, they did not break through the situation at first sight.
The left wing rushed to the nearest point, and the queue pulled into a long line, galloping past the edge of the shooting of the left wing archers and instantly heading behind the formation.
The right-wing cavalry team was more courageous, covered with arrows and rushed to the edge of the light soldiers' formation once, but they obviously just tried and lost more than ten cavalry, and then began to evacuate farther from the right wing.
The light soldiers in the two right wing formations bravely pursued each other, entangled a group of knights who failed to keep up with the brigade in time, and watched them surrounded.
This scene made the soldiers around Ling Tong show a relaxed look. Only Ling Tong suddenly held the order flag and waved: "Sing Jin! Let them retreat! If there are any random moves, they will kill them!"
This order was only a little late.
The Qiang and Hu cavalry who turned from the left wing to the rear of the formation did not return to their position, but walked around the formation at full speed. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of cavalry drew a huge arc and cut from the rear into the extended queue of the right-wing light soldiers, just like a sharp blade cutting off the protruding arm, instantly cutting off their contact with the formation.
The right-wing cavalry who had originally retreated returned at the same time.
In Ling Tong's eyes, the scene of two teams of cavalry squeezing inward at the same time was like two surging waves on the left and right slamming each other, and the troops involved were pulled out on their own were like castles built by sand and gravel. The waves swept by, flesh and blood flew across, and the two light soldiers formations disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Two miles away from Ling Tong, Lei Yuan led his entourage and Huo Cun's troops to move forward slowly, seeing all this in his eyes.
"The tactics that Bo Zhan is good at are the method of the Qiang and Hu rebels fighting against the imperial army for hundreds of years. They tried their best to give full play to the advantages of cavalry exchanges, and to involve the enemy's defense through rapid movements, and to attack the enemy's fighting spirit with uninterrupted and small-scale cutting operations."
Lei Yuan turned around and continued to say to Huo Cun: "This is a natural disadvantage of dense infantry arrays. It would be fine if the queue is stable. Once the queue is involved, the soldiers will be dispersed. The more dispersed the soldiers, the more difficult it will be to maintain a unified reaction, and the more difficult the main general's dispatch will be to reach the dispersed places. As a result, it will inevitably collapse."
Huo Cun nodded and said, "With the attack on the cavalry, you will get half the result with twice the effort. The only ones who can fight against elite cavalry are always the same elite cavalry!"
Lei Yuan clapped his hands: "Haha, Ji Si is worthy of being an expert."
At this moment, the entourage behind him felt restless. Lei Yuan quickly turned his head and saw Liu Qi urging his horse to come over. The horse was sweating all over, foaming at the mouth, and covered with whip marks. It was obvious that he had all his energy in a very short period of time.
As he rushed to the vicinity, Liu Qi rolled off his horse and said sternly: "General, there are enemies approaching! There are Cao's cavalry!"
Lei Yuan was slightly stunned: "What?"
Liu Qi was panting like a cow and couldn't speak for a moment. He was so anxious that he beat the ground with his hands, making a dull sound. Li Zhen was afraid that he would suddenly stop breathing, so he hurried forward to slap him in the back.
After a few breaths, Liu Qi shouted again: "The people of Jiangdong colluded with Cao's army! General, Cao's cavalry are coming!"
The generals and schools were clamoring together.
Lei Yuanli climbed a small slope nearby and looked at Liu Qi's place.
Liu Qi came from the west of Jiangling City. In that direction, the bright sunset gradually approached the mountains in the sky, but it was still far from extinguished. Lei Yuan's vision was stimulated by the light and was a little blurred. But he immediately saw that at the end of the green field, there were large pieces of dark black blocks slowly gathering.
With the sound of horse hooves beside him, several entourage followed Lei Yuan up the slope.
In everyone's sight, dark black color blocks change in shape, approaching quickly like water flowing on a smooth surface.
As the distance got closer, Lei Yuan gradually saw it clearly.
The deep black blocks are thousands of knights. The knights are wearing black armor and black zithers. As they advance, the armor and countless weapons reflect the sunlight, emitting a star-cold and cold light.
A cavalry of this level is definitely not something that Jiangdong can own; not every general can take it out under the King of Hanzhong. Only the Cao regime, which dominated Hebei, Central Plains, conquered the Wuhuan, suppressed the Xiongnu, and bound thousands of tiger cavalry, can mobilize such a huge elite cavalry!
If you look closely, the number of knights is about 2,000. There is no doubt that this is an extremely terrifying assault force. Their timely investment is enough to determine the victory or defeat of a battle!
Li Zhen spat hard: "The people in Jiangdong are crazy! So shameless!"
Lei Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath and exhale deeply.
Lei Yuan had long anticipated how to deal with Jiangdong's back alliance. Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang had discussed many plans with Lei Yuan in secret and discussed many plans. However, most plans did not include the Jiangdong Army fighting side by side with Cao's army on the battlefield directly.
Since Jiangdong has been betrayed the alliance, it is inevitable that he will replace the Sun Liu alliance with the Cao-Sun Alliance. But after all, Cao Cao is a hero, and he will never send his subordinates to fight for Sun Quan at no cost; and Sun Quan is also a hero, and he will never easily promise a price that exceeds the scope of bearing.
But now it seems that perhaps because Duke Xuande's rise was too fierce and exceeded their tolerance, the two heroes actually reached an unanimous agreement and decided to work together to fight the enemy!
But I don’t know who the visitor is?
Lei Yuan's mind changed rapidly.
In the Jingxiang area, the general of Cao's army who could command such a cavalry team was nothing more than Le Jin... It is impossible. Le Jin faced General Guan head-on, and it would never be possible to turn south to the river with the Wu army. Who else could it be? Could it be that General Cao Zhang, a cavalry stationed in Yuzhou, led his part of the tiger and leopard cavalry south?
In order to expand the power of the Sun family, the Cao family was willing to pay such a price and show such sincerity?
Just as he thought of this, the cavalry of Cao's army became closer and closer. Lei Yuan saw an extremely huge black flag flying high in front of the enemy cavalry. The flag was blown away by the wind, and five bright red characters appeared on the flag surface: General Zhang, the General of the East.
General of the East?
It was Zhang Liao who came!
