"Are there any benefits? Of course there are." Feng Jing said cheerfully: "I am very pleased with the hard work of the soldiers. And you, Lan Gaoping, have made great contributions in the battlefield for so many years, and it is indeed a thank you for your hard work. So,
After this battle is over, I will ask you to go to Youyun Sixteenth Prefecture for a good training. Think about how vast the world is in Youyun Sixteenth Prefecture. You lead 50,000 cavalry, and no one can hold you down in terms of military rank.
How majestic is it to be able to hold you?"
Lan Gaoping's eyes suddenly grew bigger, and although the smile was still on his face, it was completely stiff. Regardless of his image, he quickly grabbed Feng Jing's sleeves, his eyes full of pleading.
Fengjing said with a fake smile: "Haha, you are so happy. In this case, the commander immediately ordered Henghui to put down his affairs and come to Yizhou Road to take over your position. Don't worry, you will be able to go to You soon.
Yun Liuzhou is so cool, Henghui definitely doesn't want to keep you waiting."
Lan Gaoping didn't dare to talk nonsense. The mission to go south was something he finally took from Henghui's hands. If Henghui were to come now, he would definitely run faster than a dog. But he also knew that if he were to come, he would run faster than a dog.
Jing is just talking. However, if his old boss really feels that he is a hindrance here, then who knows if Feng Jing will really help him.
Song Zhengying knew very well that Feng Jing would never let his army go north easily. Therefore, before crossing the river, he tried his best to hide his strategic intentions and ordered the navy to block the area along the river to prevent Feng Jing from receiving any news.
.And with the assistance of the undercurrent of the intelligence system, monitor Fengjing's movements in Baidi City.
In Song Zhengying's vision, a hundred thousand troops crossed the river and marched north. With the full assistance of fifteen thousand naval forces, they would be able to cross the river in just over half a day. As long as the whole army marched north, there would be
With the help of the navy and the local people, Fengjing could fight even if all 50,000 cavalry arrived. Moreover, if Hetao was lucky enough to capture Baidi City, how could the entire army be dispatched? Therefore, Song Zhengying insisted that as long as the undercurrent
After keeping an eye on Fengjing's Falcon Legion, he can deal with it calmly.
However, the biggest difference between talking on paper and strategizing is that one loses and the other wins. To put it more simply, heroes are judged only by success or failure. Song Zhengying’s idea is good and feasible. If it were other
Generals will also adopt such a method. This is already rare for a civilian soldier who has never been on the battlefield and was transferred from the government system a year ago. However, his opponent is Fengjing, Hetao Five Battles
One of the generals, Fengjing, is now one of the top famous generals in the entire Chinese continent.
The straight-line distance from Baidi City to the north bank of Mopan Ferry in Yingzhou is 130 miles. If we go west along the river, the distance is about 150 miles. This distance is not suitable for the Hetao infantry.
, it takes more than half a day to march in a hurry. And if the cavalry is not considerate of horse power, it only takes half a day to reach the battlefield. If they change horses, it even takes only three hours.
After several years of recuperation and with the strong support from the Bloody Plateau, the horses of the Hetao Cavalry have all been replaced by horses from the Bloody Plateau. Especially for the main cavalry regiment like Fengjing, one cavalryman usually has two horses.
One war horse. In this way, during long-distance attacks, two war horses are used alternately, which can not only maintain the speed and elegance of the cavalry, but also save horse power to the greatest extent.
The Liu family has Caifeng, the Song family has undercurrents, the Li family has Waquan, and the Zhang family has Gale, but there is also Soul Eater in Hetao. Although due to Lu Bu's fans, Soul Eater in Hetao has suffered unprecedented setbacks. However, under the leadership of Soul Eater,
Ganlamujia, who is in charge of southwest affairs, is indeed a figure. Under his control, the Soul-Eating Southwest System was not greatly damaged. As a result, when the Soul-Eating System was destroyed on a large scale, Ganlamujia stood out.
Therefore, he quickly attracted the attention of Chu Xiangcheng and others, and has now been transferred to Chu Xiangcheng's side as an assistant. The leader of the Soul Eater Southwest System is Wan Liangcheng, Guanying's old subordinate at the beginning.
Relying on the help of Soul Eater, Feng Jing easily knew the time when Song Zhengying crossed the Yangtze River and headed north. Although the time was only accurate to the day and did not know when it was, this was not important to Feng Jing.
"Song Zhengying is anxious to return to Yizhou, so when his army sets off from Yizhou, it will never stop on the way. The soldiers of the Song family are all new recruits, and their marching speed and willpower are not as good as those of the veterans. Therefore, they have to reach Mopan Ferry.
It will take about two days." Feng Jing looked at the map on the wall and said with a smile: "Mopan Ferry is not a big place. Although it is an important ferry on the Tea Horse Road, its scale is smaller than other ferry crossings in the empire.
It is still too small, and the infrastructure is not perfect. Therefore, crossing the river at night is too dangerous, so Song Zhengying can only choose to cross the river at dawn."
"Commander, when will we set off?" Lan Gaoping said with a flattering smile.
"You said that?" Feng Jing smiled slightly, but the smile was full of murderous intent.
Many years later, the Battle of Mopan Ferry became a classic tactic of cavalry raids. In this battle, the Hetao cavalry defeated Yizhou's 100,000-strong army at the cost of less than 600 people. More than 30,000 people died on the spot, and many died from drowning.
Fifty thousand, except for some soldiers who luckily escaped to the navy warships and escaped to heaven, even Song Zhengying himself died in the rebellion.
Compared with many classic battles in the northern and southern campaigns of Hetao, this battle was not actually brilliant. However, Fengjing's outstanding strategy displayed in the battle shone with brilliance.
Song Zhengying actually made no mistakes in this battle. His performance was quite satisfactory. When arranging his troops, there was not much to criticize. However, he made two biggest mistakes. The first
First, he still underestimated Fengjing's ability. Second, he overestimated the combat effectiveness of his soldiers.
Indeed, as Feng Jing expected, Song Zhengying began to cross the river at dawn. And just a stick of incense before he crossed the river, he finally received an urgent undercurrent. The Hetao cavalry in Baidi City had not yet arrived.
There was no movement. Except for the soldiers who were on patrol at night, everyone else was resting in the military camp. It was precisely because of this that Song Zhengying dared to cross the river with his entire army without a supporting force.
However, what he didn't know was that Fengjing's cavalry had just set off not long after the undercurrent of intelligence personnel set off. Moreover, Fengjing did not have to leave part of his troops behind even if he went into battle, as Song Zhengying imagined.
They mobilized all the 50,000 soldiers of the Falcon Legion, completely abandoned the Baidi City Fortress, and at dawn, they headed towards the north bank of Mopan Ferry at full speed.
Since each soldier of the Falcon Legion has two horses, there was no rest at all along the way. The Falcon Legion only took a little more than three hours to complete the entire distance of more than a hundred miles. And this
By that time, the soldiers of the Song family had only made it through most of the time.
It is common sense in the art of war to attack halfway across the river. However, Fengjing did not do this. He was keenly aware that due to the high speed and suddenness of the Hetao cavalry, the Song family's army did not realize that they had arrived ten miles east of the battlefield.
, and the current Qinchuan soldiers still retain some vigilance. The most important thing is that he needs time to adjust the status of the soldiers and restore the 50,000 cavalry under his command to their best condition.
Therefore, Feng Jing made a decision that seemed very bold to outsiders: wait for all the Li cavalry to cross the river, and then annihilate them all in one go!
At noon, the Song family's 100,000-strong army finally crossed the Mopan Ferry. Song Zhengying finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to clean up the team. Disaster suddenly struck. With a dull horn horn, tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly rushed out.
With the flags fluttering, the huge word "Feng" looks even more coquettish.
After the Hetao cavalry was speeded up by their horses, when they were about to arrive at the battlefield, their speed had already soared to the extreme. At this time, the Song family's army finally saw the skillful riding and shooting skills of the Hetao cavalry. They arrived about a hundred meters away from the Song family camp.
, the Hetao cavalry began to set up their bows and shoot arrows. Within a few breaths, each cavalry shot at least three arrows. Except for the nomads on the prairie, only Qingfeng's dragoon regiment could accomplish such a skill. The soldiers of the Song family
Before he could recover, a large piece of it had fallen down like wheat.
At this time, the Hetao cavalry had already approached the Song family camp. The cavalry on horseback calmly put away their bows and arrows, and drew out machetes suitable for close combat. Almost all the cavalry held the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, the blade of the knife tilted, and their legs
Straighten up, lift your hips, and lean forward, a typical cavalry melee attack posture.
Among the cavalry, the most elite are the horse archers. They have the longest attack range and the most agile movements. Moreover, the horse archers have strong close combat capabilities. However, because the conditions for training an elite horse archer are too harsh, so
Even for the nomadic people on the prairie, there are not many such elite troops. However, the imaginary enemy of the Hetao cavalry at the beginning was the most elite nomadic cavalry on the northwest prairie, and the several cavalry generals were all geniuses, so
Although it is impossible to make every cavalry into an elite horse archer, there are some shadows of horse archers. Moreover, the close combat lethality of the Hetao cavalry can be said to be unparalleled in the world.
The Song family lacks cavalry, and over the years, except for the White Ear Legion, which often goes out to see the world, the other armies have no experience fighting cavalry at all. Therefore, although they have an example like the White Ear Legion, they are still struggling against the cavalry.
Even at that time, they still could not gain the upper hand. Especially these were new recruits who had just joined the army and had never experienced actual combat.
Under the charge of the Hetao cavalry, the Song family's army was caught off guard and was immediately in a state of morale. After almost one charge, the Song family's defense line collapsed. Seeing this, Song Zhengying quickly led his direct troops to resist, hoping to contain
The offensive of the Hetao cavalry. However, how could Song Zhengying be able to stop the fierceness of the Hetao cavalry? When Fengjing Zongheng was Xiaoao Youyun outside the Great Wall, even famous generals outside the Great Wall such as Memphis and Hengshi Hassan, encountered
When he was worshiping, he was one of the top two, let alone this old man who had never been on the battlefield?
Feng Jing was not reckless. He dispersed all five cavalry armies in his hands and launched a fierce attack from the Song family's frontal defense line, which was close to ten miles away. Killing the opponent's effective forces was only one of their tasks. Their main purpose was to continue
The ground squeezed the Song soldiers back, and then forced them into the river.
Feng Jing is well aware of the consequences of a trapped beast still fighting. If fighting on flat ground, then he might also adopt the tactic of surrounding three and one missing, leaving a way for the opponent to survive in case the opponent fights desperately. But now, there is no need at all. The Song family's
The navy fleet was still on the river, and the river was full of cavalry. As long as they could climb onto the warships, they would definitely be able to escape with their lives. In such a mood, the soldiers of the Song family began to desperately escape towards the back.
The Hetao cavalry's offensive was so fierce that almost all the Song family soldiers who stayed in place to resist were cut in half with one knife. Some unlucky Song family soldiers did not even die under the swords of the Hetao cavalry.
They were pushed by their companions while running for their lives, and then trampled to pieces. In view of this, the Song family soldiers did not dare to stop and fight back, and all of them were scrambling to escape.
"Stop! Stop!" Song Zhengying shouted almost hoarsely, but no one paid attention to his order. He had not been in the army for a long time and had not yet established enough prestige. Moreover, at this time
, he still lacked enough courage and decisiveness, so that the soldiers fled in a panic, and in the end they could not be contained at all.
Looking at the deserters in front of him and the arrogant Hetao cavalry behind them, a burst of sadness surged in the old man's heart. If it were a head-on decisive battle, then even if the whole army was annihilated, at least half of the Hetao cavalry would be eaten. However, the Hetao cavalry was just one person.
After a series of raids, his defense line and the confidence of his soldiers completely collapsed. With such an army, why should we expect it to be able to protect Yizhou's security?
The old man did not expect that his subordinates were such a group of people who were greedy for life and afraid of death. Not only did they have no honor as soldiers, they did not even have the courage to fight to the death with their opponents. He also did not expect that Fengjing was so brave.
, in fact, until his death, he did not understand why the Fengjing cavalry appeared here, and why the undercurrent of intelligence personnel did not detect the whereabouts of the Hetao cavalry in advance.
In fact, the reason is very simple, that is speed! Unparalleled speed! It is like how a stone can float on the water without external force. The method is very simple, that is speed! When his speed reaches the extreme, the stone
It can float on the water. And Fengjing is the comprehensive use of speed and time to the extreme.
Among the three best cavalry generals in Hetao, Fengjing was the best at running thousands of miles. And during the process of running, Fengjing would not adopt a similar method of blocking news, massacring cities and villages wherever he went.
, he just arrived at the finish line as quickly as possible without stopping at all. By the time the other party's messenger delivered the message, Fengjing's cavalry was already cleaning the battlefield. On the northwest prairie, Iron Eagle and
Qiu Ming experienced the power of Feng Jing's move many times.
It was the same this time. With his high speed, Feng Jing easily left the Song family's intelligence officers behind. Even after arriving at the battlefield, Feng Jing was able to take a break first. Then,
After all the Song family's infantry had landed, they launched a general attack without haste.
Among the chaotic and defeated army, Song Zhengfeng's figure seemed more and more powerless. He didn't understand why the usually vigorous soldiers under his command turned out to be like this. Is Yizhou's future really hopeless?
I don't know whether he was hit by someone or slipped under his feet. The old man stumbled and fell to the ground, and then he didn't get up.
The Battle of Mopan Ferry finally ended with this result. Even if Song Zhengying did not die, he could not restore the decline of the battlefield. The Song family infantry, who had lost their fighting spirit, rushed to the river bank in order to escape for their lives, hoping to climb onto the water.
The battleships of the division were pulled against each other. As a result, countless soldiers drowned to death. Twenty miles downstream, near an inflection point of the river, the remains of Song family soldiers were actually covered.
After annihilating Song Zhengying's 100,000 soldiers, Fengjing's cavalry rested here for two days, and then received a secret order from Xuanji. So Fengjing put on his helmet and mounted his horse, and followed the official road from Yizhou to Weizhou.
Head north. Yizhou Road is a basin terrain. Although the surrounding area is surrounded by mountains, the bottom of the basin is relatively flat, which is not very restrictive for cavalry. Weizhou is the base camp of Song Wuke's garrison, and there is also the Song family here.
One hundred thousand elites, their main task is to prevent the coalition forces from raiding on the Bloody Plateau.
On the third day after Fengjing annihilated Song Zhengying's army, Hetao finally launched a full-scale attack on the Song family. On the Bloody Plateau, Xue Qingcheng personally led the 40,000 cavalrymen of the Snow Lion Army as well as the Mu Shanbu and 50,000 soldiers of the Rock Army.
A total of 140,000 soldiers from the Scarlet Clan swore to march eastward and swooped down along the relatively low and gentle mountains west of Yizhou Road. Together with Fengjing's cavalry, they attacked Song Wuke's Yizhou soldiers from both sides.
As the main force in the Hetao attack, Dugu Yuming and Xuesha Xinke led more than 300,000 troops from the White Tiger, Xuesha, Qinglong, Honor and Panshi Legions to directly attack Yangzhou, the capital of the Song family in Yizhou, from Xiangzhou. Here
, Dugu's White Tiger Army had already taken advantage of the situation after the decisive battle at Caiziba to capture Walun Pass, the most important pass in the east of Yangzhou. Of course, the terrain around Yizhou is quite complicated, and behind Walun Pass, there is Lazi.
Pass and Moyunling pass, but this is not important to Hetao. After all, after passing Walen Pass, the attack direction and attack route of Hetao have been chosen. One side has sufficient troops and generals with sufficient strategy, and
The defensive side is outnumbered and shaken. Although there will be some ups and downs, the outcome is certain from the beginning, especially after Fengjing's Falcon Legion entered the hinterland of Yizhou, the Song family no longer has any room for maneuver.
In order to resist the strength advantage of Hetao, Song Junlin had to shrink his troops across the board. Song Zhengyu's 50,000 troops hurriedly returned to Yangzhou. Although Song Wuke wanted to return the entire army to defend, to the east of Weizhou was Huanzhou, one of the seven secret places in China.
In Hai Qingtian, even Song Wuke, who has a long history of life and death, does not want to risk entering the fantasy sea and Qingtian. After all, just half a year ago, more than 100,000 Sashan soldiers led by Tipu were completely annihilated here.
In desperation, Song Wuke's entire army retreated to the capital city of the state. Fengjing and Xue Qingcheng's nearly 200,000 troops surrounded the state, turning it into an isolated city.
