Seeing Huan Chong's proud look, Liu Laozhi rubbed his eyes again. Did you read that right?
He couldn't believe his eyes no matter what, and panicked that everything was an illusion.
"General Liu, I saved your life, don't you also thank me?" Huan Chong rode his horse and approached. He was not a person who did good deeds without leaving his name or asking for anything in return.
Beside them, Jingzhou soldiers had surged up like a tide, forming a protective circle around the two generals.
There were three floors inside and three floors outside. Huan Chong and Liu Laozhi were surrounded by a tight crowd. Not to mention the Qin soldiers, even the Beifu soldiers could not see the specific location of their general.
Liu Laozhi, who had just recovered from the shock, still had the energy to question Huan Chong's efforts here, and he did so with the protection of a large number of Jingzhou soldiers.
Huan Chong was very dissatisfied that he still refused to repay his kindness.
"General Huan's martial arts are extraordinary. I am ashamed of myself. Thank you very much."
Liu Laozhi bowed his hand to express his thanks, but his words were said with a hint of reluctance. Fortunately, Huan Chong was not a fussy person.
Whether it was a sincere thank you or a perfunctory one, it didn't matter to him. As long as he heard what he wanted to hear, he would be considered a passer.
"General Liu does not need to be so self-effacing. If General Liu had not fought bravely to kill the enemy, Di Qin would not have released all the infantry."
"Did Qin's infantry leave the city?"
No wonder the Qin troops around him increased instead of decreasing, that's how it turned out.
After receiving the order from Xie Xuan, Liu Laozhi rushed out of the battle formation like an arrow. From that moment on, Liu Laozhi only saw enemy troops. No matter where they came from, whether they were cavalry or infantry, he only knew how to charge and kill them.
, repeated attacks.
There was nothing else. He was so focused that he didn't notice that the Xiangyang City Gate had been forced open several times.
The battlefield is full of variables, and victory cannot be achieved by relying solely on planning.
Fu Rui's initial intention was to attack the Jin army's front line with a cavalry team of 500 people. At the same time, he would cooperate with the operation of bows and arrows and stone cannons on the city to deal a heavy blow to the Jin army.
When the Jin army was in chaos, Fu Rui withdrew his troops and returned to the city. Next, the Qin soldiers retreated into the city, and the task of guarding Xiangyang City was handed over to the defenders on the city.
With arrows and stone cannons, the Jin army could be blocked outside the city and unable to get even close to the inner city of Xiangyang.
Fu Rui's little calculation was good. Di Qin's cavalry were all great treasures, so how could they all be used in fighting the Beifu soldiers.
Even in the Di Qin army, which focused on cavalry construction, the number of cavalry was far less than that of infantry. Taking Xiangyang City as an example, there were only more than 10,000 cavalry among the 130,000 defenders.
To be honest, this number only includes the cavalry in the Xianbei Army.
It is Fu Rui's pursuit to preserve Xiangyang City's cavalry strength as much as possible.
He planned to use cavalry to repeatedly harass and attack the Jin army, in conjunction with infantry charges, to repel the Jin army.
However, he thought beautifully!
How could Xie Xuan let him have his wish!
The powerful fighting power of the Beifu soldiers soon gave Fu Rui a heavy punch, forcing him to face reality.
If you want to fight against the Beifu soldiers, but don’t want to try your best, just dream!
Obediently, pull out as many soldiers and weapons as you have!
After a few rounds of killing, the cavalry of the two armies was obviously in a stalemate. The cavalry brought out by Liu Laozhi had already caused great trouble to the Di and Qin cavalry.
Not only could they not kill all the Jin cavalry, they could not even break through their encirclement and attack the Jin army's battle formation.
Fu Rui, who was personally involved in the battle, fell into endless shock when he saw the scene in front of him.
Before Fu Rui could give the order, Liang Chengcheng on the tower observed the situation.
Liang Cheng, who suffered a big loss at Qixia Gate, finally escaped from the alien stone cannon and arrived at the North Gate. He was immediately shocked by the sight in front of him.
These Beifu soldiers are indeed no ordinary people!
They are all monsters!
It's the devil!
The shadow of Jingling City once again enveloped Liang Cheng, who suddenly felt suffocated.
no!
Relying on only a small group of cavalry is no match for Xie Xuan, so more manpower must be sent!
With no time or opportunity to win Fu Rui's consent, Liang Cheng made the decision himself and sent out two more mixed groups of cavalry and infantry.
The number of people has exceeded 10,000!
No wonder Liu Laozhi and the others were fighting hard outside the city, but they always felt that the Qin soldiers were like ants and could not kill them all.
It was all because they had always had follow-up troops, and Liu Laozhi, who was stuck in a bitter battle, didn't notice it.
"General Liu, Xiangyang City is right in front of us. With our strength, we will definitely bring it back into the arms of the Jin Dynasty."
"We, the Jingzhou soldiers, will do our best to cooperate, and we also ask our brothers in Beifu to put aside their past grudges and fight the enemy together!"
The high fighting spirit, the boiling murderous intent, and the blood-stained battlefield made Huan Chong, who had always been playful and smiling but not serious, look rare and serious.
As a descendant of an aristocratic family, the Huan clan of Qiao County always seemed to be inferior to others in the court because of their military uniforms.
The Jingzhou Legion, originally a powerful force to defend the Jin Dynasty, gradually transformed into the private property of the Huan family, becoming a bargaining chip for them to establish their status as a court and threaten the imperial court.
And today, just outside Xiangyang City, a place where flesh and blood are intertwined, Huan Chong suddenly had an epiphany!
His eyes are wide open!
In this age of great contention, aren't power, status, and money all external possessions?
In order to safeguard the existing interests, they kept quiet and allowed the great rivers and mountains to be occupied by Di Qin, but did nothing.
For many years, the Huan clan had controlled the fortress of Jingzhou, but they had not been able to recapture a single city. Victory was always fleeting.
In the final analysis, it was all because the Dukes of the Huan clan controlled Jingzhou soldiers only for their own selfish interests, not to regain the land lost by the Jin Dynasty!
How can you win a battle if you don't stand upright?
If the will is not strong, the victory cannot be consolidated, and all we can do is escape in embarrassment!
Therefore, over the years, the Jingzhou soldiers have become more and more stable in the hands of the Huan clan. With Jingzhou as a military important place, the Huan clan has also become a small imperial court that is half independent of the imperial court. The people of the imperial court have great influence on the land of Jingzhou
A needle can't be inserted, and water can't be poured in.
We can only acquiesce that the Huan family's power in Jingzhou is independent of the Jin Dynasty.
From a personal perspective of the Huan clan, this outcome is of course the best and what the clan wants to see, and they sincerely hope that such a life will last as long as possible.
But what should we do with Zuo of the Jin Dynasty?
Where were the people of Jin Dynasty placed?
Those people of the Jin Dynasty who were trapped under the rule of Di Qin have not heard of kings for many years, and their clothing and customs have gradually become the same as those of Hulu!
Where are the Jingzhou soldiers at this time?
Where are the Beifu soldiers?
They are still recovering lost ground at a snail's pace, or in other words, they are going back and forth in the process of regaining and losing, and losing and regaining.
As the two most powerful armies in the Jin Dynasty, the Jingzhou soldiers and the Beifu soldiers have been at odds with each other for a long time, and they are like enemies to each other.
Under the avalanche of conflicts, the Beifu soldiers and the Jingzhou soldiers could not even achieve superficial harmony, let alone cooperation. It would be good if they did not undermine each other!
From this perspective, this time the Battle of Xiangyang has created a miracle!
