Five hundred and fiftieth second: siege
Just as Cheng Qun launched an attack on Cuiping Mountain, Liu Huajian was ordered to lead the army and guards to advance towards Fukang, all
The newspapers show that the recapturing of Fukang were the three-eyed tigers who ran away from Shenwu and the white lotus bandit Huang Rui who fled from Taikang, a group of defeated soldiers and thousands of troops. Liu Huajian brought three thousand cavalry and five thousand
In Liu Huajian's opinion, the army of nearly 10,000 people was more than enough to deal with this group of people, and even felt like killing chickens and using a ox knife. This group of thieves who didn't know how to die fell
With loyalty, even though he knew that Hong Niang was surrounded by nearly 100,000 armies in Cuiping Mountain, he still dared to rush over without fear of death.
Even though they admire him, but both sides stand on different positions, Liu Huajian has no sympathy for his opponents.
, The White Lotus Sect bandits, kill one less, and without them, the world will be much more peaceful. That's what Liu Huajian thinks.
Zhang Xi led 3,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and Liu Huajian led 5,000 infantry to Fukang. Soon after the afternoon, news came from Cuiping Mountain, and the attack on Baizhang Cliff failed. Chen Ji, who surrendered, was accompanied by more than a thousand men.
All the guards who went to cheat the pass were killed.
Liu Huajian couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't understand why such a careful plan was seen through by his opponent. The messenger who came from Cheng Qun said it in detail. In less than a thousand people were wiped out in less than a stick of incense.
It only means that Hong Niangzi had known Chen Ji's rebellion for a long time and prepared a killing field for him. Chen Ji died, and he was not sorry, but he was a little sad that more than a thousand guards would have attacked him with a dignified attack.
In other words, these more than a thousand people may be able to get the lives of two or three hundred White Lotus bandits, even if the terrain is extremely unfavorable to the guards.
"Fortunately, we also took down Yunzhu Peak, further compressing the space for the White Lotus bandits." Liu Huajian said to the messenger: "Greetings to General Cheng for me. Although the attack on Baizhang Cliff failed, I believe the morale of the White Lotus bandits was also the same.
We will suffer a huge blow because of Chen Ji's surrender, and we will still make a profit!"
"Yes, General Liu." The messenger bowed
And retreat.
"General!" Tu An strode over," General Zhang Xi sent a messenger and had discovered the army of the White Lotus Sect bandits, about three or five thousand people, who were moving towards Cuiping Mountain. Zhang Xi had already launched an attack.
”
"Speed up!" Liu Huajian turned around
When he got on the horse, he pointed to the front of the whip, the five thousand infantry immediately accelerated his pace and ran forward.
The cavalry led by Zhang Xi launched an attack on the enemy's opposite. Just when his whistle cavalry discovered the enemy, the enemy's whistle cavalry also discovered them, watching the opponent's whistle cavalry beat horses and whipped, running wildly towards the way they came.
When he went there, Zhang Xi smiled coldly and ordered the cavalry to speed up, and chased after him with the tail of the whistle and cavalry. He wanted to intimidate the opponent tightly and catch the opponent off guard when the enemy was too late to line up.
.
When cavalry fights infantry fighting in formation, they have little advantage. If the opponent is a regular army, Zhang Xi might have considered it, but at the moment, the opponent is just some white lotus bandits, even if these bandits are more than ordinary ones.
The bandits are too strong, but they are still a group of bandits. What's more, they just experienced a big defeat. The army they pieced together temporarily, even if they are large in number, is still a mess. As long as they can seize their gap, they will fight.
It will turn into a massacre.
When most of the enemy troops appeared in his sight, Zhang Xi almost laughed out loud. As expected, the enemy troops were scattered and divided into extremely different places where he could see.
Open, this is exactly the opponent the cavalry likes.
"Roar over and wipe them out!" Zhang Xi raised his spear high and shouted loudly. Three thousand cavalrymen rolled up smoke and dust in the sky and rushed towards the enemy troops in the distance.
This army was one of the fifth battalions led by Quan Yifeng. Looking at the smoke and dust that almost covered the sky in the distance, Quan Yifeng showed a happy smile on his face. The sky paid off and he came indeed.
"Change the formation and prepare to face the enemy!" His big flag was raised on the spot, the Central Army ordered the flag to roar, and the drums sounded, and the soldiers scattered on the field began to slowly move towards the Central Army along a certain route.
Looking at the cavalry running towards the opposite side, Quan Yifeng said coldly: "In the north, facing the Mongolian Yuan cavalry, we can all stand it with it. What are you? Today
, let you see what is the real enemy of the cavalry!”
The cavalry swept over, and Zhang Xi did not see what the other party was doing. In his eyes, the other party's soldiers were desperately moving towards their central army, trying to form a thick battle formation to fight against the cavalry, but in front of the fast-moving cavalry
It was only then that it was too late to set up the formation. Zhang Xi did not even organize a wave of attacks, but instead devoted the entire army to the attack.
During the years of conflict with the Mongol-Yuan Iron Cavalry, the Northern Army had already developed a mature tactic of using insurgents to resist cavalry. Of course, this was also filled with human lives. The seemingly scattered infantry lineup is carefully
Designed, countless times
Practice the tactics specifically against cavalry. The Northern Army called him the tide attack, which means that it is not to stand firmly, but is like the tide, which is like a tide, which constantly compresses the opponent and attacks the opponent. The formation seems to be
Loose, in fact, the connection between the teams is very close. You retreat and I advance, echoing each other, one wave of stagnation, one wave of attack, and one wave of attack and defense. When dealing with the Mongol cavalry, the Northern Army had an absolute advantage in military strength.
This tactic will be adopted at this time to effectively kill the opponent. If the troops on both sides are similar, the Northern Army will still use traditional arrays to fight against the opponent with large-scale long-range weapons first.
At present, they are not in front of them, but Central Plains cavalry that is obviously one level worse than their opponents. Therefore, Quan Yifeng has no absolute advantage in military strength.
Besides, I still dare to do this.
After Zhang Xi contacted the enemy and broke through hundreds of meters, he felt something strange. He felt as if he had been trapped in the sticky mud, and it became extremely difficult to move forward. When he looked back, he couldn't help but change his color.
His cavalry had been swept in by teams of infantry at this time. At this time, his speed of running was completely limited. Each team of cavalry had densely packed with opponent infantry, which seemed to be his cavalry.
The opponent's team rushed left and right, but in fact he had already fallen into the crowd of people. At this time, the opponent's central army still did not move.
Watching the enemy skillfully advance and retreat, and stabbing the horses one by one, Zhang Xi's
A sudden appearance
Cold sweat, he had never seen this kind of fighting style before, but it was undoubtedly very effective against cavalry.
This is not the White Lotus Cult Army. Their soldiers cannot be so calm when facing cavalry. You must know that infantry has a natural fear of cavalry attacking at high speed, and this army obviously does not care at all.
They even seemed very calm. Have they been used to the impact of cavalry?
The space is being compressed, which is even more scaring to Zhang Xi
, when cavalry fights, come and go at high speed, all they need is sufficient space. Once the space is compressed, the cavalry will lose all their advantages.
He did not see the three-eyed tiger, nor did he see Huang Rui, and he did not even see a flag of two people. The flying white lotus flag actually could not explain anything, and Zhang Xi felt panic.
"Back, rush out first!" He gave a loud order, turned his horse's head and rushed back, but at this time, rushing back was not that easy!
Liu Huajian's main troops arrived at the battlefield in the evening. Zhang Xi's dilemma surprised him. The three thousand cavalry had already lost most of the losses, and the remaining people were confined to a battlefield of several miles and were suffering.
struggle.
"Beat the war drums and prepare to pick up Zhang Xi!" Liu Huajian ordered Tu An.
When the drums of the leading guards sounded, the army opposite also sounded a trumpet, and the drum beats sounded rhythmically. The other party seemed to have seen most of the leading guards arrive and began to retreat.
Teams of infantry retreated like a tide. Even when they retreated, their mutual cover technique gave Zhang Xi no choice but to take advantage of it. What's more, there were hundreds of unmoved in the opponent's central army at this time.
The cavalry slowly rode their horses forward, staring at them covetously.
Zhang Xi waited for two hours, but his opponent was keeping his energy. At this time, he had no courage to move forward. Seeing the enemy retreat, he also gathered the remaining cavalry and slowly retreated.
Liu Huajian stared at the other party's infantry retreat, stared at the other party gathered in front of him and formed a formation. The two armies were in danger and injured battlefields. The injured soldiers were groaning, and the war horses that lost their master stood alone.
The army seemed a little at a loss.
"This is not the White Lotus Bandit Army!" Liu Huajian suddenly said, staring at the flying White Lotus Military Flag opposite, "Where did this army come from?"
Liu Huajian couldn't figure out that such an army had never appeared in the combat sequence of the White Lotus Sect Army before. With their combat power, they would never be a nameless person. On the contrary, they should be the absolute main force of Hong Niangzi.
Quan Yifeng looked at the Liu-character flag opposite him and was furious. Finally, he caught a big fish. Liu Huajian, you are waiting for.
The sound of drums and trumpets is heard, seeing Liu Huajian's army
The nearest army did not retreat. Instead, they launched the horn of attack. Liu Huajian's pupils contracted, and he felt something was wrong in his heart.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!" The opponent is
Recently, Liu Huajian didn't have to think too much at this time. No matter what tricks he had, he had to repel the enemy in front of him first.
The two armies finally handed over head.
Fighting in one place. This time, Quan Yifeng's central army was also dispatched, and with 5,000 troops, they launched a fierce attack on Liu Huajian's troops, who had superior forces.
An hour later, Liu Huajian finally understood the reason for the opponent's bold attack, because on his left and right sides, an army was quickly approaching him, and a cavalry with as many as 3,000 people appeared behind him.
Chapter completed!
