In Chenqiu County, Yingzhou, on the banks of Xiaorushui River, the two armies are fighting.

It is said that it is two armies, but in fact there are three parties involved.

One side was the 4,000 cavalry of Zhao Ying, the other side was the more than 1,000 cavalry of Zhang Jing stationed in Yingzhou, and the third side was the more than 7,000 cavalry of Wu army coming from Bozhou.

The war was fierce, and it was generally chasing and double-teaming. Zhao Ying's troops in the middle fought and left. While striving not to be surrounded, they tried to get rid of the enemy troops twice as many as theirs and leave this dangerous battlefield.

The soldiers of the two armies met in close combat, waving long spears and swords while galloping, fighting each other. The sound of metal attacks continued, the sound of true qi explosions came one after another, and the soft mud was flying under the horse's hooves.

The soldiers of the Resistance Army showed excellent combat qualities and mastered equestrians. Even if they left the reins of the horse with both hands and fought with the enemy for a long time with a horse spear, they not only did not fall off the horse, but also did not make any mistakes in the direction and rhythm of the horse galloping.

In comparison, the horsemanship of the Wu army's cavalry is almost the same. After all, the more than 7,000 cavalry who came were personal troops of the Wu State's guards. They could fight like a rebel army without encountering substantial danger.

However, the cavalry skills of the vassal state army were obviously much worse, and the cultivation level of the practitioners was generally lowered. After their men fought against the rebels, many soldiers were caught off guard, screamed and their bones were silenced. The sound of horse hooves breaking is constantly thrilling.

In the face of the Resistance Army, the vassal state army had almost no other effect except to increase psychological pressure on the Wu army. Later, the vassal state army just followed behind and gave up all the combat positions to the Wu army.

With the advantage of war horses, the Resistance Army gradually distanced itself from the guards' personal army. Finally, they left all the Wu army behind and stepped onto the official road and ran away quickly.

The war horses in Jiangnan are not as good as those in the northern war horses. With the horsepower of the guards' personal army, it is impossible to catch up with the rebel army. The distance between the two sides will only grow bigger and bigger.

But the guards' personal army did not give up on the pursuit.

When the official road was turning, Zhao Ying glanced back and saw the Wu army chasing behind him and the vassal army that was behind him. His eyes sank, and he had already realized something in his heart:

"Knowing that we couldn't catch up with us, the Wu thieves refused to give up. There must be Wu cavalry ahead, and they might intercept us halfway!"

His judgment is based on evidence.

This is not the first time he has encountered Wu Jun.

As Zhao Ying led his troops to kill several rounds before Chen, Cai and Ying, the vassal army could not effectively attack them. As the local situation was about to be completely corrupt, the Wu army stationed in Songzhou and Bozhou finally could not sit still and sent A large number of infantry and cavalry came over and cooperated with the vassal state army to pull nets from all over the place to encircle.

Since the day before yesterday, the large and small light cavalry scattered into the countryside have encountered the attacks of the Wu army's personal army, the vassal army and the vassal army under Zhang Jing's command. Both sides fought many times in the fields, both of them.

Originally, Zhao Ying brought a small camp of thousands of people to preside over the land reform war in several villages. After receiving a report from the scout Rank, he dispatched a small group of light cavalry overnight to support the heavy troops.

Before meeting the enemy in front of him, Zhao Ying had already fought five consecutive games in one day, repelling several Wu army and local vassal troops.

But the repelled Wu army and the vassal troops under Zhang Jing did not give up their pursuit and always followed them. The team grew bigger and bigger. Until Zhao Ying's troops were blocked by the enemy blocking the road, they chased them and continued to fight.

"I have ordered all the troops to gather nearby. Now the team is about thirty miles away from the nearest group of troops. If the Wu thieves come too many and closer, I am afraid I will avoid the battle and go around to gather all the troops." Zhao Ying thought so

.

The plains are not like mountainous areas. There are only so many roads in the mountainous areas, and there are only a handful of roads that can be passed by thousands of troops. As long as the enemy holds the intersection of the main road, it will be difficult for the rebels to move.

But in the wilderness of the Central Plains, Zhao Ying had a first-class building, and the guides for long river boats were mostly roads that could be detoured. It was not that easy for the enemy to seal them into encirclement.

The elite cavalry has extremely strong ability to break through and escape. How many troops does the Wu army and Zhang Jing's vassal army need to surround them to death?

However, what Zhao Ying was worried about still happened in a blink of an eye.

The scouts in the Yuanshen Realm ahead reported that there were enemy troops deploying defenses ten miles away, and they had completely blocked their way. The number of people was close to 20,000. The infantry was in a large formation, with guns and shields in the forest, and the baggage and vehicles surrounded the outer city, and there were many cavalry on both wings.

They are all elite riders, about three or four thousand.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ying couldn't help but feel disgusted!

He thought to himself: "There are not many cavalry in the Wu army, and the ones behind and the ones in front have exceeded 10,000. How many cavalry can the Wu army stationed in Bozhou? It will never exceed 20,000!

“What if this is just what we see, plus what I haven’t seen?

"The enemy's gathered nearly all the cavalry and arranged it with the infantry. It would not have happened to me. This must have been planned for a long time!

"Precautions... there were precautions long ago, and the infantry and military cooperation. Is this... they just came to annihilate our troops?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Ying couldn't help but feel that the situation was not good.

Their troops were indeed as fast as the wind when they moved to various places. In the early days, they could not be called "the dragon's head but the tail" but now the battle has entered a new stage. They have to preside over the war of land reform in the villages and block the officers and soldiers of prefectures and counties and the Wu army to destroy the war of reform.

The tracks can be grasped!

Zhao Ying hurriedly asked the Yipinlou guide around him: "Can you get around?"

When he encountered an enemy blocking the road before, if the opponent was strong, he would choose to detour.

The guide thought briefly: "It's too close, there are no other avenues. There are paths, or you can walk in the fields, but this will make the speed slower."

Zhao Ying's face was slightly dark.

There are ambushing in front and pursuers behind. If the four thousand cavalry are on the path and the speed is delayed in the field, the opponent will easily chase after it. In this case, the enemy generals will just send infantry and cavalry to the path, and set up defenses at the other end of the field.

, they can be killed by being attacked from the front and back!

There is another way to make the current plan.

Go back and break through the enemy behind.

The advantage of doing this is that it can temporarily avoid being attacked from both sides; the disadvantage is that once the pursuers cannot break through and the ambushed enemy forces come back, there will be no life.

Zhao Ying turned around and looked carefully at the pursuit of Wu army guards.

If they really want to fight a life-threatening blow, although their number is small, it is not impossible to break through the obstacles, but there will be a lot of casualties. However, there is still a problem. The opponent has a large number of people and sufficient troops. Once their offensive is blocked, they will still be delayed and let the back.

Wu Jun chased after him!

At this moment, Zhao Ying had to admit the reality: his troops were in desperate situation!

Zhao Ying had to ask himself: How did he fall into a desperate situation?

During this period, although his troops had encountered some trouble in the transition to various states, they were generally smooth. The military forces under Zhang Jing's command were weak in combat power and poor in military discipline. They were used to working but not working hard. If there were any setbacks in the battle, they would be fine. It is easy to retreat and disintegrate.

Most of the time, they hurried to the city and did not dare to come out. After the task of stabilizing the walls and clearing the fields could not be completed, they unswervingly carried out the order to stay in the city and guard it.

This allowed the rebels to calmly move into the countryside to engage in a war of land reform.

To this day, the army has already underestimated the enemy.

Although the Resistance Army was elite, the soldiers were also human beings and were not sages.

The Wu army in Bozhou and Songzhou suddenly attacked, somewhat unexpectedly. They did not support Bianliang, but came to deal with the flexible and light cavalry that were more flexible and more difficult to deal with.

But that's not the point.

Zhao Ying has to figure out what the key point is.

This time he got the Wu army into Chenqiu County. After attacking the rebel cavalry who were guarding the land reform war everywhere, he immediately dispatched to rescue. During the battle, in order to cope with the next situation of fighting with the Wu army, he would be dispersed. The light riders who went out gathered together again.

Zhao Ying quickly changed from more than a thousand people to four thousand people.

But this also made him fall into the interception of the enemy's superior forces and he was unable to escape.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yingru was beaten up and instantly reacted!

From the rescue of the first group of troops in distress to being chased by seven or eight thousand cavalry, the war has never stopped during this period. Although they have not encountered much danger, they have turned many directions in the middle, just like they are under pressure from the front. Just like looking for another way.

In other words, Zhao Ying is being led by the nose on the one hand, and forced to choose a direction on the other hand!

The former was the large and small light cavalry he had distributed himself and encountered danger. Zhao Ying had to rescue him, while the latter was the enemy cavalry who came to surround him and blocked him. In order not to be entangled, he chose a new route.

In the end, Zhao Ying was driven here by the enemy and fell into this heavy army ambush, without rushing to transfer space!

"The Wu army has not been dispatched before. This time it seems sudden, but it is actually planned and has detailed plans. The other party has grasped the whereabouts of our troops from the beginning, and has decided to lure our troops to the Jedi and then wipe out them in one fell swoop. !

"Only in this way, the Wu army can show up and force me into their pre-arranged pockets through the first battle and subsequent battles!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Ying's heart sank to the bottom.

It is difficult to encircle and annihilate the cavalry in the plains, not to mention that the Wu army and Zhang Jing have limited cavalry, so they cannot complete a large-scale encirclement by relying solely on cavalry. However, they have to cooperate with the infantry and face the problem of relatively slow operation of the infantry.

Over the years, cavalry in the grassland in the northern border areas and plundered in the northern border areas. Whenever the other party dispatched more people, the border troops often had no choice but to defend important cities and wait for reinforcements. This is the reason.

But this time, the actions of Zhao Ying's troops were different. Their early battles were similar to those of the plundering of the grassland cavalry. However, since they entered the village to preside over the land reform war, they no longer ran everywhere, but were given a dragon. The enemy's opportunity to control their specific positions and forces!

Moreover, whether it is Xuzhou and Chenzhou or Caizhou, they are all enemy territory.

But for the Wu army and Zhang Jing's troops, this is their own territory. They have too many advantages in fighting at home. Zhao Ying's troops stayed for a while and gave the other party the opportunity to grasp their whereabouts.

"As quiet as if a virgin, my army would be killed as soon as he went out of the army. The general of the Wu army who commanded this war was not a mediocre person - no, the other party was not just a mediocre person, he was simply talented and ingenious!"

Zhao Ying, who had figured out all kinds of joints in a blink of an eye, felt a sense of fear for the first time, and a dense cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and a chill behind her back.

When the Wu army annexed Jiangnan, the generals in the army were all military for many years, and many of them had certainly grown up with outstanding talents. The deep foundation of the Wu army and the strong combat power were definitely not comparable to those of the little princes like Zhang Jing.

Previously, the Jin army defeated the opponent two games on the Eastern Front battlefield, but this does not mean that the Wu army is a weak brigade.

The first Jin army succeeded in a surprise attack based on the cavalry, and the second was a dignified formation battle between the two armies. They fought head-on and had no fancy points. Moreover, Zhao Ning was in charge of command, and it was understandable that the Wu army was defeated.

It's different now.

This is the first time Zhao Ying led a regular army to fight. Although he grew up very quickly during the battle, he was not considered a general on the battlefield. His own talent could not be compared with Huo Qubing, the number one player in ancient times, and he did not encounter any strong players.

The reason is not to suffer losses.

"Is this defeat inevitable? Is it inevitable that I am four thousand brave and four thousand passionate men of the dynasty, and I will die here all of them?!" Zhao Ying's eyes were blood red, and his teeth were about to be broken.

He was unwilling to accept it, unwilling to do so.

He would rather be tortured to death by Thousand Swords of Lingchi and suffered seven days and seven nights than to want these four thousand outstanding Great Jin soldiers who followed him to be annihilated here.

He has a great fighting spirit and can give up everything.

But what's the use?
