059 Night Attack

On the other side of Luoyang, Cao An rushed to Yingchuan with a luxurious lineup, and on the other side, on the battlefield in Runan.

After Di Qing put the main infantry in Ningcheng, he cleaned up the end of Ningcheng and took the cavalry to chase him first, he finally caught up before Huang Chao's army led the army to Yingchuan.

However, at this time Di Qing chased after Huang Chao's army, but after catching up, Di Qing found that with the troops in his hands, he could no longer deal with Huang Chao's army.

After Huang Chao's army slaughtered Ningcheng and most of Runan County, the number of troops not only did not increase, but also decreased a lot. The number of troops, which were originally close to 1.5 million, dropped to about one million after experiencing the massacre of Runan County.

However, one-third of the reduction in personnel did not reduce the strength of Huang Chao's army, and even terrifyingly improved the strength of this army. Now the average force of millions of soldiers in Huang Chao's army has been increased to 25.

The most terrifying thing is that the entire Huang Chao army is currently carrying a terrifying aura.

With an extremely strong smell of blood and an extremely cruel momentum, when you look at the distance, the Huang Chao army is like an evil ghost that is so fierce that people dare not look directly at.

Even the elite cavalry under Di Qing's command would be lost and frightened when they looked at Huang Chao's army without preparation.

With Di Qing's military qualities, he could confirm that the Huang Chao army in front of him was not something that the less than 50,000 cavalry under his command could resist. Only his subsequent infantry main force could resist one or two.

But not every war can be fought until both sides are ready and shouting one, two, three, and finally starting.

Di Qing is facing this situation at the moment. He knew very clearly that his current army would definitely not be an opponent of Huang Chao's army, but he had to fight.

Because if he did not take any action, then the Huang Chao army would have to head north to Yingchuan at this time.

What's even more terrifying is that Huang Chao's army has been completely demonized, and the most violent and cruel wild nature of all soldiers has been completely released. At this time, this army must have gone to wherever it is.

In this regard, I am afraid that even the commander Huang Chao at this time would not be able to take back the murderous intent of the soldiers being released. The blood on the land of Runan in Ningcheng had not dried yet, and Di Qing could not let Yingchuan be stained with blood again.

So Di Qing must fight this battle.

On July 23rd, late at night, Runan County.

After Di Qing was ready, he launched an attack on Huang Chao's army.

In this battle, Di Qing had only one purpose, which was to destroy the logistics of Huang Chao's army.

As long as Di Qing can destroy Huang Chao's logistics supplies, this army will definitely be in Runan County for a period of time.

What the Song Dynasty lacks the most now is time. As long as it can win ten days, Di Qing's own infantry can arrive, and he has the ability to press Huang Chao's army in Runan again.

In the future, as long as reinforcements from the three forces of the Ming, Sui and Chu come over, they can naturally easily capture the Huang Chao army.

The plan is a good plan, provided that Di Qing can really successfully attack at night and truly take over Huang Chao's logistics.

Huang Chao himself still has considerable military qualities, and Huang Chao still attaches great importance to the lifeline of the army's logistics supply.

He almost placed the logistics in the center of the army, which meant that Di Qing would have to kill a million troops to take down Huang Chao's logistics supplies. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is. If you are not careful, Di Qing's army will probably stay in it forever.

Di Qing knew the dangers very well, or it should be said that everyone who wanted to participate in this battle was very well aware of them.

But what they know is that they have no choice and no room for fear.

If they didn't take this risk, Yingchuan would be everywhere, and those soldiers would not want to see them even if they died.

So, when the night fell, the 50,000 cavalry led by Di Qing set off.

At midnight, at this time when people were most trapped, Di Qing's cavalry launched a raid under his leadership.

It has to be said here that Di Qing, as one of the most powerful generals in the Song Dynasty, has many talents, including many talented skills in martial arts and military formations. Perhaps because Di Qing's record was the night attack Kunlun Pass, Di Qing had an excellent night attack army skill.

This skill can increase the concealment of Di Qing's army and reduce the enemy's alertness.

Judging from the attributes of the skill, this is a skill that does not increase its combat effectiveness at all, but its practicality is unquestionable.

With this skill, the 50,000 cavalry under Di Qing were discovered only after reaching a hundred meters of Huang Chao's army.

You know, Di Qing's cavalry was not one or two, but a total of 50,000. Not to mention the sound of horse hooves just running, it was extremely terrifying.

In this case, it is already a miracle to be able to quietly approach the enemy within 100 meters.

With this miracle, Di Qing's night attack achieved great success.

Fifty thousand cavalrymen, under the situation of leading generals such as Di Qing and Yang Yanzhao, directly rushed into the camp of Huang Chao's army with one go.

Although Huang Chao's million-dollar generals have changed a lot in their strength and mentality after two massacres, no matter what, these soldiers are all peasant.

It is naturally majestic to play the wind, but in this attacked local headwind state, Huang Chao's army is prone to chaos without anyone controlling it.

And this chaos is the best opportunity for Di Qing.

Taking advantage of the chaos of Huang Chao's army, Di Qing led the army to attack Huang Chao's army's food and grass.

Although Huang Chao arranged relatively elite troops in the food and grass, he could not withstand the raid from Di Qing's elite cavalry without preparation.

After Di Qing charged, he easily took the granary.

However, although he took down the granary, Di Qing did not dare to be careless. He knew very well how terrifying the army he was in. He is in extreme danger every moment. If he is not careful, their cavalry will be wiped out.

So after taking down the granary, he did not dare to waste any time. After quickly igniting the granary. After ensuring that all the food of Huang Chao's army was ignited, he immediately turned around and prepared to break through the encirclement with his cavalry.

However, at this time, Di Qing realized that it was easy to come in and went out. Just as he ignited the other party's granary, Huang Chao had already reported it and controlled the army.
