In the sixth year of Guanghe, on the seventh day of March, on the east bank of Wenshui River.
At this time, the battlefield has been cleaned up, but no one is the final winner. In last night's heavy rain battle, not only did the Jibei Kingdom's Central Military Academy suffer heavy losses, but after the war, the total number of troops selected was only 400, and two-thirds of the troops were lost.
, each establishment has basically been defeated, and there is no possibility of fighting again.
In addition, the generals and staff at all levels suffered heavy casualties. In this battle, the commander-in-chief of Jibei Kingdom, Chen Gui, was seriously ill. Four of the Five Dragons of Jibei died, and 13 people from Kong and other powerful families died. It can be said that this battle directly destroyed the Jibei Kingdom.
The bones were broken.
However, compared to the Youxiao Wei Division who returned to support, the losses of the Jibei National Army's Central Army did not seem to be that great. After this battle, the entire You Xiaowei Division was wiped out.
Yes, you heard it right. All the right-wing lieutenants who wanted to withdraw from the battlefield were all dead.
When Ding Sheng, Dian Wei, and Guo Liang refused their request to withdraw from the battlefield, the Jibei Kingdom's You Xiaowei, with 900 soldiers, directly launched a desperate charge against the Taishan Army.
No one knows why they made such a choice. In the end, they all died, and the three troops of Taishan Army were also disabled. Among them, Ding Sheng's general Zhao Rong was seriously injured, Dian Wei's soldiers lost hundreds of soldiers, and Guo Liang's troops suffered the least losses.
But it also hurt our muscles and bones. It can be said that this battle was the most damaging battle since the founding of the Taishan Army.
After the war, Dian Wei and Guo Liang had no choice but to abandon the camp and join forces with Ding Sheng to defend Ding Sheng's camp, but they were unable to attack.
In this way, on the seventh day of March in the sixth year of Guanghe period, nothing happened on the east bank of Wenshui River.
But on the east bank of Surabaya, hundreds of miles to the west, on the seventh day of March, Zhang Chongzheng led his assault cavalry and raised a butcher's knife against the Lu soldiers who were still sleeping.
On the sixth day of the third month, at Zishi, Zhang Chong led 800 cavalrymen and 1,100 horses, wrapped in cloth on their hooves and holding coins in their mouths, and went around the north side of the Weishi Wall.
Thanks to a sudden heavy rain, they covered up their voices and traces, otherwise it would be hard to tell. Last night, with such a heavy rain, dogs could be heard barking inside the wall. If it weren't for the heavy rain, those sentinels would have returned
They were hiding from the rain inside the wall, otherwise they would have found a cavalry speeding to the north of them.
But it was also because of this rain that the troopers suffered terribly. The heavy rain made the trail even more muddy and difficult to walk. The troopers stepped deeper and deeper, and the mud they brought out stained their new winter clothes.
Yes, these are the few good clothes they have. You can imagine how they feel when they get stained with mud.
It was about thirty miles from Weishibi to the ferry on the east bank of Surabaya. The cavalry could normally march there in an hour and a half, but Zhang Chong and the others walked all the way to the end of Yinshi, and got lost several times in the rainy night. Unless the guide was familiar with the road,
You really went around the wrong way.
At nine o'clock, the rooster crowed. Two miles away from the Lu Guobing camp in Surabaya, Zhang Chong's sergeants changed into clean clothes, then began to put on each other's armor, mounted their horses that had rested for the night, and began to organize themselves into teams.
Sixteen attack clusters were formed.
The rain has weakened a lot, and the stronghold of Lu soldiers in the distance is still quiet. No one would think that there would be any enemy soldiers in such heavy rain, so there is no one even on the wooden fence watchtower of the camp.
Several Taishan soldiers dismounted and ran to the camp. They carefully moved their horses away and cleared a passage for the cavalry behind them. Then they climbed over the wall of the camp using ladders and opened the gate of the camp.
In this way, when the Sishui camp was opened, the Lu soldiers were still unaware.
Zhang Chong did not charge directly to the camp, but carefully observed the camp. He saw the huge camp open to him in the drizzle. Seeing that Zhang Chong had not yet ordered the charge, Tian Jun thought about it. Get busy:
"Kui, are you worried about an ambush in the camp?"
Zhang Chong nodded, but then shook his head:
"This village is so quiet, I was really worried about an ambush. But after thinking about it a few times, I still felt that it was impossible for the enemy to know that we would attack here. But when it came to the battle, I hesitated a little. After all, our charge was If there is really an ambush inside, our cavalry will not be able to move at all and will have no choice but to wait for death in this camp."
Unexpectedly, Tian Jun advised:
"Qu Kui, isn't it what you often tell us, do your best and obey fate. We have done our best along the way. If we are looked down upon by others, then it can only be said that this is what fate is. When the time comes, we will Brothers will be brothers again after they enter Xiaohuangtian."
The other brothers were holding on to their coins and it was difficult to speak, but the perseverance on their faces all showed that if they die, they will die. When the time comes, they will enter the Little Yellow Heaven and become brothers again.
Seeing these old brothers who had entrusted their life and death to him, Zhang Chong was filled with pride. Then without saying anything, he raised his horse and took the lead to rush into the Lu military camp.
Then all the soldiers followed, without horns or drums. They just followed the advancing Pao Ze and followed Qu Kui to fight for eternal peace.
The rain soaked the armor, bringing with it a hint of coolness, but it could not hide the fiery hearts of the Taishan army's assault riders.
Smooth, so smooth.
When they rushed into the camp and knocked open several tents, the Lu soldiers inside were still sleepy-eyed when they were trampled to death by war horses on the wet mud.
Then the Lu State Soldiers' stronghold suddenly exploded. Countless people rushed out of the tents and ran around everywhere. The camp was filled with angry curses, begging for mercy, and wailing. These voices mixed together to create a common sound. Breaking open this silent morning.
Some soldiers from the State of Lu picked up their weapons and formed a small formation under the organization of their respective military officials, preparing to block the enemies entering the village. But it was of no use. These people did not even have time to put on armor, and only had a ring-shaped sword. How could they stop Zhang Chong's Hundred-War Armored Cavalry?
When Chen Yi, the Prime Minister of the State of Lu, built this camp, he did not follow the shogunate's advice to build it into a messy and staggered pattern. Instead, it was built into a square shape. The tents of each team were erected horizontally and vertically. This seemed beautiful, but once encountered When the enemy attacks, it will be too convenient for the enemy to rush in and penetrate.
Fast, too fast.
At this time, the Taishan Army's sudden cavalry was like this. Thanks to the smooth and straight camp road, the sixteen Taishan Army's cavalry rushed and stabbed wildly, especially Zhang Chong. The arrows in his hands never stopped, and every arrow would kill Lu. The national army is composed of military officials.
Without the organization of the military officials, the newly organized Lu soldiers could not maintain their military formation among the roaring horses, and they collapsed one after another.
Although there are only 800 horses, it doesn't sound like much, but in the eyes of Lu Guobing, this is already a scale that shakes the earth. No human has the courage to stand in front of a herd of horses of this size.
And the most important role here is Zhang Chong himself. Why is it that when he leads a tactical charge, he never loses a battle? Because he always provokes the enemy's grassroots soldiers to kill. If the soldiers are members of an army,
Apart from flesh and blood, the officers are the skeleton of the army. If the bones are broken, how can the flesh stand up?
In Zhang Chong's eyes, all military officers are invisible regardless of whether they are disguised or not. And which tactical team can withstand Zhang Chong's killing?
Wang Dang, a young cavalryman who was in the same team as Zhang Chong, had a feeling at this moment:
Cool.
Following Qu Kui's charge, they only had to kill the enemy. Take the Lu army formation that they had just defeated. It was originally quite tight. Although they still had no armor, they could barely stop them for a while. But
Qu Kui was riding on his horse, aiming at the enemy formation in front of him with three arrows in his pocket. Then the morale of the army formation was visibly wilted.
Then Wang Dang and the other riders used three moves: bump, poke, and step on.
After a while, corpses were left on the ground and they charged towards the next wave of enemy soldiers.
It has been two years since Wang Dang surrendered to Zhang Chong before the battle, but he is still just a captain, not because he does not work hard, but because it is the most difficult for them to advance suddenly. The main reason is that it is difficult to expand. Originally, the Neijun area
It is not easy to find good riders, and Zhang Chong had to select the best among the best. As the earliest established Tuqi Tun, it took four years to save only 800 riders.
But there is one thing to say, Wang Dang is now very satisfied with being a general. The general can lead fifty cavalry and can perform military duties alone. Don’t blame Wang Dang for thinking that he is not a good soldier because he doesn’t want to be a general. He is really a sudden cavalryman.
Everyone in the team practices swordsmanship, and even the generals and above are all proficient in it. In such a highly valuable team, promotion is inherently difficult.
Seeing that Taishan's army was about to kill the central army, finally a piao cavalry man, dressed in armor, rushed over. In the haze of the rain, he saw the first cavalry general, wearing a red turban on his head, astride a horse like a dragon, and his arms were as tall as one foot and eight feet.
The horse rushed forward like a fierce tiger.
The man exhaled like mist in the rain and roared:
"I am Kong Anguo, the lieutenant of the State of Lu. I am a little thief and bandit. I am still alive."
After that, all the Biao Hu cavalry were very tall and gentle:
"Not dead yet."
"Not dead yet."
The cry shook the rain curtain, and the whole camp was shaken by it.
But Zhang Chong, who was under the mask, didn't stand up to this man at all. He pushed the reins, and the angry dragon under his crotch stirred up a lot of mud and water, and he charged towards Kong Anguo with his head straight.
Kong Anguo screamed and stabbed him with a stick. Zhang Chong dodged it lightly and hit Kong Anguo with a stick. But Kong Anguo was really extraordinary. He was able to avoid Zhang Chong's blast from the wind and thunder.
Then the two horses passed each other alternately. At this moment, Zhang Chong stretched out his arm and directly pulled Kong Anguo to his side, including his man and his armor.
Kong Anguo was caught in the air. Although he was not panicked, he tried hard to fall to the ground. He had already made plans. Even if he hit the ground, he could not be caught by the thief again, otherwise he would casually draw a long knife.
You can stab yourself to death.
But after shaking for a long time, he found that the thief's arm that grabbed his armor didn't move at all. Then he was hugged by the thief into the creaking nest, and then with a creak, Kong Anguo's world went dark.
It turned out that Zhang Chong actually broke Kong Anguo's neck with his arm.
Kong Anguo, a brave general of a generation, was captured and killed in the east of Surabaya.
The death of Kong Anguo heralded the end of the resistance of the Lu soldiers. The Lu soldiers were already weak, but they were attacked in their sleep, and their hearts were chilled by the rain. They had long lost the will to resist.
Kong Anguo was already a rare warrior. When he died, not to mention the other Lu soldiers, even the cavalry that charged with Kong Anguo collapsed.
Afterwards, Lu soldiers kept laying down their weapons on the battlefield, and flags were cut down by the roaring Taishan soldiers. The sounds of begging for death and the sound of prisoners being captured could be heard all over the east of Surabaya.
