The Eastern Route Army coach sent by Helian Qingfeng was originally supposed to be Tornado coach Xiao Keng. However, due to his brother Xiao Duo's unlucky start, his eldest brother was also unlucky and was removed from the post of commander. His replacement was Xiao Keng.
Lai Guangcai, the governor of Xizhou, defeated the Pei clan in Xuancheng.
Lai Guangcai was born in the Yulin Guards and was one of Helian Qingfeng's most trusted generals. He was known for being ruthless and ruthless. At this time, he heard that the reconnaissance cavalry coming from all directions were blocked by enemy reconnaissance cavalry. At first, he thought it was a small force sent by the Eastern Zhou Army.
The front troops wanted to delay their advance, but ignored them and sent more reconnaissance cavalry to assist after the battle. However, the vanguard army continued to move forward quickly.
But not long after, the defeated reconnaissance cavalry reported that thousands of enemy cavalry were charging over quickly, and then they ordered two thousand cavalry Yulin Guard heavy armor troops to go into battle and prepare to fight the enemy. But at this time, the rumble of horse hooves could already be heard.
Come, we are less than three miles away from our own army, and it is obviously not enough to carry heavy cavalry.
"The heavy cavalry put on their armor and changed their horses. Each of the tornadoes sent five thousand cavalry to attack from the left and right. The rest met them head-on and killed!" Lai Guangcai, who had never led such a powerful army, did not show any fear. His face was full of excitement and excitement.
The unparalleled contribution of annihilating the Eastern Zhou Army and regaining the capital is waiting for me to claim. The four great guardians are all dead. From now on, I will be the pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
"Commander, the enemy has at least 7,000 cavalry, and they may be all out!" As soon as the army launched its charge, someone reported to Lai Guangcaihui, who was staying beside the heavy cavalry.
"We're here just in time. Go and notify the West Route Army and the 20,000 cavalry behind them. Let them come immediately and don't let a single enemy cavalry escape!" Lai Wencai became even more excited. As long as this battle is fought well, Qingcheng will be at your fingertips and he can attack continuously.
The trouble in the city is also saved.
"yes!"
"What's going on?" Before the messenger had gone far, Lai Guangcai suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something strange about the advancing middle route army. Many of the hundreds of flags flying high had fallen down, and the fallen flags were far away from the ground.
He was getting closer and closer. As the enemy's shouts of killing and the miserable cries of his own sergeants came, the thick middle army suddenly came loose, as if a huge force broke through it, allowing the thousands of charging cavalry under his command to
Moved to both sides involuntarily.
"Quickly, put it on quickly! Put it on immediately after putting it on!" Lai Guangcai called to the Yulin Guards behind him to ride heavily to meet the enemy. The proud smile on his face gradually solidified into panic, because a piece of white came into view. Although there were not many people, there were only a few people.
In less than a cup of tea, those Eastern Zhou cavalrymen actually killed nearly 10,000 people of the Central Army! You know, there were also 3,000 Yulin Guard Qingqi among them!
Only about half of the two thousand heavy cavalry were fully dressed. After hearing the order, they immediately drove their horses forward from the formation, while the other half were still hurriedly putting on their horses. The entire team had no formation at all at this time.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of white-robed heavy cavalry broke out of the encirclement and slammed into the Yulin Guard heavy cavalry that had not yet started to run. Unlike the Yulin Guards, who were equipped with weapons of the same standard, most of the Blizzard heavy cavalry's weapons were like heavy cavalry.
Hammers, maces, long-handled axes and other heavy smashing and chopping weapons;
The well-trained Habayashi Guards mainly use standard sabers, and are also divided into spearmen, archers, heavy weaponry, shield bearers and other arms. They pay attention to coordinated operations after forming a formation. But at this time, if the formation is not completed, they will
He became the target of being raped by taller and more powerful forest warriors. Seeing those crazy white-robed warriors shouting "Kill to Luoyang" while continuing to charge towards his Chinese army, Lai Guangcai led hundreds of
The personal guards stepped forward to fight, but immediately retreated behind another thousand heavy cavalry, shouting and screaming for the remaining thousand heavy cavalry to charge, and had three thousand cavalry move back from the flanks to block in front of them.
, and urged the tornadoes on both wings to rush into the battle group.
In fact, he didn't even need to call, the 10,000 people outflanking him were already in the battle group, surrounding the blizzard led by He Qizhou.
He Qizhou is not afraid of being surrounded. When he launches a charge, his order is "quick"! He is to use the momentum of thousands of galloping horses to break down the enemy's defense, but also to break down the enemy's confidence and courage!
Therefore, even the regular volley before the charge was omitted. The "arrow" composed of a thousand heavy cavalry led by He Qizhou braved the enemy's arrow rain and plunged into the huge enemy formation! Wherever it passed, there was chaos.
The flag is flying, the people are on their backs and their horses are overturned!
The enemy's battle formation was torn apart, and the more than 6,000 people who followed made the crack wider and wider, constantly attacking countless enemy troops on both sides! The Blizzard Soldiers, who already had stronger individual combat capabilities, used the help of
With the momentum of taking the lead and high morale, he has the momentum to devour everything!
He Qizhou originally wanted to take down the enemy's commander in one go, but the force composed of the Yulin Army and the Tornado Army was extraordinary after all. It could still maintain a strong combat power after being suddenly hit hard. People kept stubbornly blocking the way of the Chinese army.
Stop He Qizhou's attack.
But He Qizhou and the thousand heavy cavalry rushing at the front were more confident, because the initial impact had severely damaged the opponent's most powerful heavy cavalry, at least half of the enemy's heavy cavalry had lost their combat effectiveness, and the other heavy cavalry
Most of them are not properly dressed, and their combat capabilities are not much different from those of light cavalry.
After a brief charge, the two sides entered a brutal melee. The black and white armies fought fiercely on the flat slope. Lai Guangcai's team gradually could not bear the casualties of four to one or even five to one, and the battle formation began to retreat to the rear.
, there are no longer enough people to stand in front of the Chinese army.
Seeing the black-clad troops falling in pieces, the numbers of both sides gradually became evenly matched, while the white-clad enemy troops were getting closer and closer to him. Lai Guangcai knew that if he continued to fight, he would not be able to wait for the reinforcements behind him. If he persisted and refused to retreat,
Destined to be captured alive or killed by the enemy, he was so frightened that he had to order a retreat! Only by escaping from danger could he command the 20,000 cavalry behind him to join the 40,000 cavalry on the west road to give the opponent a fatal blow!
As the gongs of the Northern Zhou army rang out, the Chinese army fell to the ground. Those elites of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who had found it difficult to hold on fled to the mountains in the south! But in the fierce battle, an unprepared retreat is an escape! He Qizhou refused to follow
Under unrelenting pursuit, the retreat quickly turned into a rout, and then into a rout in the blink of an eye!
More than half of the 20,000-strong army was wiped out, and several thousand others abandoned their helmets and armor. After abandoning their horses, they fled wildly into the forest and ravines on both sides where horses could not move. When Lai Guangcai ushered in the subsequent 20,000-horse rider, the team around him
There are only a few thousand people.
Just when Lai Guangcai wanted to be grateful for being saved, he realized that he was completely wrong. The combat power of the subsequent 20,000 cavalry could not be compared with the Habayashi Guards and Tornadoes, and their fighting spirit was even worse. Those who came after their own coach
After the Eastern Zhou cavalry rushed into the battle formation like wolves and tigers, many of them began to retreat. When the rear army saw that there was no one to stop them, they retreated towards Yehuling without any military orders.
Everyone knew very well that the other party wiped out the arrogant Yu Linwei and Tornado in less than an hour. How could they, ordinary soldiers, withstand the attack of the Eastern Zhou barbarians? These Eastern Zhou devils in white robes
It has long been spread among the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It easily captured Qingcheng and defeated its strongest vanguard army, leaving most of the Northern Zhou soldiers without the courage to fight again.
Lai Guangcai had no choice but to continue his escape. Unfortunately, he escaped too slowly this time, and was closely pursued by He Qizhou, who shot an arrow through his throat! After the general died, everyone fled even more resolutely, but the further south they went, the closer they got to the mountains and the roads.
It gradually became narrower, and many Northern Zhou cavalry actually trampled on each other, causing hundreds of casualties as they fell on their backs. But at this time, there were no pursuers behind them!
It's not that He Qizhou didn't want to pursue, he couldn't pursue, because the 40,000 cavalry on the west road were already approaching at this time. He Qizhou, who didn't want to miss the energy, pointed his troops to the west front again, and launched an attack to the west without counting the number of people!
An hour ago, after receiving the news that Lai Guangcai's army was meeting the enemy, the West Route Army was originally eager to rush here to take credit. However, after hearing the news of the Yulin Army's imminent defeat, they began to hesitate, and then immediately received the East Route Army.
The coach Lai Guangcai was killed in battle. As soon as the follow-up troops were reported to have been defeated, hesitation turned into panic, and he immediately ordered a halt to the advance. Because there was a solid city defense on Yehu Ridge, which was enough to resist the Eastern Zhou people's attack, the Western Route Army began to move forward.
Plan to retreat to Yehuling.
The general's order of neither advancing nor retreating made the soldiers below a little overwhelmed. Especially the troops advancing at the front did not want to become the prey of the Eastern Zhou army, so they all demanded an immediate retreat. The entire army actually went into chaos without fighting. Waiting for He Qizhou
When the charge was launched, the resistance of the West Route Army was not much better than the 20,000 men of the East Route Army.
But this time, He Qizhou didn't have to worry about enemy troops attacking from the flanks, so he pursued extremely resolutely. He pursued for a day and a night, chasing the fleeing enemy troops across Yehu Ridge, without even giving the defenders a chance to set up defenses on the ridge.
.
In fact, not many of the 40,000 Zhou cavalry were killed, and most of them fled into the mountains in a panic. Yehu Ridge is full of mountains and valleys. Those Zhou troops could escape danger as long as they broke away from the advancing route of the pursuing troops and hid in any mountain or river.
But in this way, a complete army was dispersed to an area of dozens of miles in a day. Many people were determined to become deserters because they were afraid of military law.
He Qizhou followed the planned plan, and under the leadership of Li Zeping and Tang Yan, chased the enemy troops in the middle and directly attacked the widest main ridge. The defeated troops rushed through the ridge, which allowed He Qizhou to easily capture the entire pass.
.
The sun rises in the east, and the road south of Yehu Ridge is smooth. After a whole day of fierce fighting, He Qizhou finally has time to rest his team and treat the wounded. After this battle, about 1,500 people were killed, and almost as many were injured, more than 7,000
There are only 4,500 people in the human team who still maintain fighting strength.
Due to the constant pursuit, there were not many captured enemy troops, only more than a thousand. This time He Qizhou was no longer picky and kept almost all of them, barely making up a round number of six thousand. Most of the injured were sent back to Qinghai.
City, chasing Helian Qingqing's team returning from the north. This chapter has been completed!
