Warm spring has arrived, but the wind in Yan'an Mansion is still a bit cold. Zhang Xianzhong tightened his cloak tightly and looked outside the city in confusion. At this time, he had no time to care about the matters in the Tianzhu Mountain highlands. What he cared about most was the cavalry.
Those cavalry had already been formed by selling iron and steel, so they couldn't afford to lose anything. Not long after they were watching from the top of the city, a guard hurriedly walked over and handed over a letter, "Leader Zhang, the sentry at Red Flame Castle ahead just sent
The news that came was from the military newspaper of Huluting Town."
When he heard that it was an urgent military report from Hu Luting, Zhang Xianzhong didn't care whether he was on the top of the city and unfolded the military report. After just taking a glance, he felt that his vision was gray and became increasingly blurry.
His heartbeat was getting faster and faster, even his hands began to tremble, his legs had no strength at all, his head was buzzing, and everything in front of him was shaking. Zhang Xianzhong screamed in pain and fell back.
Several soldiers had long noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Xianzhong. When he fell backward, several people tried their best to support Zhang Xianzhong, but at this time, Zhang Xianzhong had already passed out, and the military report in his hand was also gone.
fell to the ground.
One of the personal guards was as meticulous as a hair. He didn't wait for others to see the contents of the military newspaper clearly. He quickly bent down to pick it up and scanned it briefly. His heart couldn't help but tremble. He finally understood why Zhang Xianzhong fainted.
More than 3,000 cavalrymen were wiped out. This was a concentrated effort of countless people in the rebel army. Why did this happen? Why did everything go wrong? Could it be that the rebel army has really come to its end?
The oil lamp exuded a faint light, and the room was dull. After Zhang Xianzhong woke up, he looked at the dark roof with some numbness. No matter how far the situation developed, he tried hard to reverse it. From the heights of Tianzhu Mountain to Hulu
In the small town of Ting, he has been working hard to find opportunities and preserve his strength as much as possible. These days, he lives cautiously and racks his brains, trying to find some glimmer of glory for the rebel army.
In Hu Luting, he found an opportunity. If everything went well, he could seize this only opportunity and reverse the situation on the entire battlefield. This opportunity would not be missed again, so Zhang Xianzhong was tempted, but as a result, Hu Luting did not
Not to mention the defeat, all the cavalry under his command were wiped out. Why did this happen? Zhang Xianzhong couldn't understand. He had worked hard enough, was careful enough, and did everything he could, but he was still defeated. For the first time, Zhang Xianzhong felt a sense of joy.
Such a deep helplessness. In the face of huge power, all conspiracies and schemes become weak. With huge power, they can be forcibly crushed.
Facing the officers and soldiers at this time is like facing that infinite power. The strength of the officers and soldiers is too strong, and it is no longer possible to win by trickery. The sneak attack on Hu Luting is not a bad idea, it is already the most reliable trick, but the result is still the same.
What was the reason for the tragic ending? The reason was too simple. The officers and soldiers were powerful and they had enough troops. In the blink of an eye, Hu Lu Pavilion was surrounded, and the attackers became turtles in the urn.
This is power, real power. No matter how hard you fight, you can't defeat it. Zhang Xianzhong has a deep sense of powerlessness. He doesn't know how long he can hold on, one day or two days?
What happened in the small town of Hu Luting did not affect the battle situation in the Tianzhu Mountain Highlands at all. At this time, Zhao Lin had no idea that such a big thing had happened in the small town of Hu Luting. If he knew, he would definitely not hesitate.
Withdrawal of troops, there is no thought of returning to Zhulin Pass. Unfortunately, Huluting Town is an emergency. Zhao Lin cannot know in advance, and Zhang Xianzhong cannot predict the outcome of the war in advance. Now even if he wants to send news,
It's too late.
As tens of thousands of officers and soldiers returned to Manchuanli, the pressure on the frontal battlefield in the Tianzhu Mountain Highlands increased sharply. The outermost defense line had been harassed by the Mongolian cavalry. The rebel soldiers were unable to stop them and quickly gave up the outermost defense line. They lost
Due to the geographical advantage, Zhao Lin could no longer cope with the defense of Tianzhu Mountain as easily as before. Aqige was personally responsible for the offensive and defensive battles of Tianzhu Mountain. This time she was not in a hurry, but worked steadily, using a small number of troops to test each time.
This also caused the traps prepared by the thieves to lose their effectiveness.
The pressure was increasing, and Zhao Lin soon had the idea of retreating. Luo Hao ran in panting. His face was pale, as if he had been blowing in the heavy snow for two days and two nights. But this was not the middle of winter;
Warm spring, there can be no cold snow, "Luo Hao, what's wrong? Aren't you stationed on the flank defense line?"
Luo Hao's face was full of horror. He took a long breath and said tremblingly, "Oh no, there are a large number of officers and soldiers and cavalry in the direction of Zhulin Pass. Judging from the armor, they should be the elite of the Living Hell King's frontier army?"
"What?" Zhao Lin fell directly on his seat. He finally understood why the officers and soldiers were not in a hurry to attack Tianzhu Mountain. He thought they were being cautious, but it turned out that they had other intentions.
Something happened, something serious must have happened. Zhao Lin's heart sank to the bottom in the blink of an eye. The officers and soldiers were detouring around the Manchuan area. This should not be hidden from Yichuan City. With the ability of leader Zhang Xianzhong, it is impossible for him to find a way to deal with it.
Now that the officers and soldiers have arrived successfully, it can only mean that something big happened in Yichuan City. Isn't Zhao Linluo Weide retaking Tianzhu Mountain just to find a fighter plane?
It seems that leader Zhang Xianzhong used his cavalry to do other things, but it was unsuccessful. At this moment, Zhao Lin felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Why was it that no matter what he did, it was ineffective? In the face of strength
, it seems that all the conspiracies and tricks have become so fragile. At this time, northern Shaanxi is more dependent on fate. Zhao Lin and others have not yet figured out a way to deal with it. Aqige's elite cavalry has already attacked the rogue bandits in the direction of Manchuanli.
The camp launched a tidal wave of offensive. At this moment, all that was waiting for the rogue bandits was death.
Aqige has been tempered by the flames of war, and has reached the level of proficiency in the use of cavalry. If Tie Mo is good at large-scale cavalry confrontation, then Aqige is good at stealth attacks and small-scale combat. Yunfu Cavalry
The attack was as fast as wind and fire, and many bandits failed to respond. A hundred-man infantry was wandering outside the camp. Their faces were relaxed and there was no worry. Since retaking Tianzhu Mountain, they have not appeared.
After all, especially in the direction of Manchuanli, it can be said to be an iron wall. Even if the officers and soldiers attack, it is impossible to choose this direction.
Distorted self-confidence filled the entire camp, so the patrols did not pay too much attention. The so-called scouts only sent out five miles. The leader Gu Chunlai walked at the front holding an earthen jar with a pile of meat in it.
, Gu Chunlai felt very happy. When he returned to the camp and made a pot of delicious broth, his life was easy. There seemed to be the sound of horse hooves, and Gu Chunlai didn't think much about it. He raised his head and looked into the distance.
Go, a black dot slowly appears, isn't that our own scout?
With the appearance of this peasant army scout, Gu Chunlai's patrol team all stopped to watch. Some even raised their hands to say hello. Gu Chunlai had a smile on his face. This scout cavalry has good equestrian skills and is so fast. Very fast.
The two sides were almost close, and only then could they clearly hear what the scout was shouting, "Run, run, the officers and soldiers are coming."
What? Gu Chunlai was stunned, and the patrolmen behind him were also in a daze. What the hell? Where are the officers and soldiers? He just wanted to laugh at the scout, but in the blink of an eye, the ground shook, and behind the scout, countless figures appeared, under the sun
He could still clearly see the shining silver armor on their bodies, "Hey, they are the frontier cavalry of the Living King of Hell, what the hell..." Gu Chunlai roared loudly and threw the earthen pot in his hand to the ground, not caring about anything else.
He took the lead and took the lead in running towards the camp with long strides.
It's not that Gu Chunlai is timid, there is really nothing he can do. He has more than a hundred men under his command, which are not enough to fill the gap between his teeth. To the rogue bandits, those cavalrymen are a nightmare, with iron chains and armor.
War horses, since the war, countless peasant army brothers have died at the hands of this weird cavalry. Gu Chunlai does not want to use his own flesh and blood to resist the hoofs of the armored cavalry.
Aqige is here, and her attack is rapid and fierce. Seeing these cavalry, several patrols on the periphery have no intention of resisting, and they instantly fall apart. The roar of the camp in the direction of Manchuanli is loud, and the leader Ning Qian fights desperately
He wanted to appease the camp, but the soldiers had long been frightened out of their wits by the Yunfu cavalry and could not be appeased at all. In desperation, Ning Qian organized more than 2,000 people to build a defense line in front of the Chinese army's tent.
He would not be stupid enough to set up a defense line outside the camp. That kind of place is where the opponent's cavalry is most wreaked. With his speed, he can probably defeat the formation in a single encounter.
Ning Qian was considered to have some military acumen. After the officers and soldiers rushed to the Chinese army's tent, their speed had slowed down. Relying on the infantry formation, they could completely block it. The military tents in the camp were connected, and the road left was narrow and twisted.
, the cavalry simply could not form an effective formation.
At the beginning of the battle, the rogue bandits guarding outside the camp were unable to stop the Yunfu cavalry's attack due to their hasty response. More than three hundred Yunfu cavalry relied on their speed and sharp cavalry swords to cut a hole in the blink of an eye.
A large number of cavalry poured into the camp and began to outflank the camp from the east and west directions. The first line of defense could not be blocked, and the remaining bandits could only disperse. They fled in twos and threes, and the Yunfu cavalry also divided into countless small teams.
, massacred peasant soldiers and rebel soldiers on a large scale.
Everything went smoothly. When attacking the Chinese army's tent, the Yunfu cavalry finally encountered a little trouble. There were many military tents in the camp, just like stone piers that messed up the cavalry formation. On the contrary, Ning Qian
However, the infantry occupied the wide ground and formed a tight infantry formation. Many peasant infantrymen held spears more than two feet long in their hands. Many scattered cavalry rushed to the front of the formation and were stabbed to death by such spears.
It was a hornet's nest, not to mention the cavalry, even the war horses could not face the victims. The fallen corpses and war horses piled up at the intersection, causing huge trouble to the following soldiers and horses. Since this was a surprise attack on the Manchuanli camp, the cavalry did not have food and necessary supplies.
Weapons, the commando team was stopped by the rogue bandits here.
Aqige came from behind and saw that the perimeter had been occupied. She nodded with satisfaction and led two generals towards the camp. Along the way, there were a few bandits who wanted to make a sneak attack, but they were all cut down by the soldiers.
When arriving at the center of the camp, Aqige saw many cavalry gathered together, all with anxious looks on their faces, but they couldn't rush in. Some of the cavalry were so anxious that they wanted to set fire to the surrounding tents.
, but the army has an order to keep this camp intact as much as possible, so that after the battle is over, it can be repaired by building a camp. Seeing this situation, Aqige frowned, and General Mao Xiang leaned over with a sullen face.
, flicked his riding crop, and said loudly, "What's going on? Why are you all stuck here?"
"Back to the general, the open space in front was occupied by bandits. They formed a tight spear formation. Many of our brothers died in their hands. However, there were too many military tents around here, blocking the road. No, the brothers were rushing to go
"We are charging forward." A soldier replied hurriedly, looking inside nervously. From here, he could still see bursts of fighting sounds coming from inside. Maoxiang frowned and hurried back to report, "Princess, the rogue bandits formed
We have reached the spear formation and used the surrounding military tents as cover. The road is so narrow that our brothers can’t rush in. How about ordering the nearby tents to be burned down?"
"No." Aqige directly vetoed the proposal. When they came, the team was lightly packed and had nothing to set up a tent. This rogue camp was the place where they would rest in the future. "Tell all the soldiers and horses that they must not set fire at this time."
It is a warm spring, the camp is dry, and the wind is strong. Once the fire is out of control, it will not only burn the bandits. Moreover, we also need this big tent, otherwise, will you let the brothers sleep on stones in the future? We have traveled a long distance, and we are exhausted.
This battle requires a good rest."
Maoxiang was speechless. He also understood that what Aqige said was the truth. He rubbed his hands with a look of urgency on his face, "Then what should we do now? We must find some way, otherwise the brothers may be injured or killed."
Small."
Aqige snorted coldly, shook his spear, jumped off his horse, came behind everyone, and shouted loudly, "Everyone dismounts and forms eight assault formations. You bunch of idiots, you only know how to charge on horseback, how can you do this?"
You won't be able to fight if you don't have a horse?" Aqige roared, which woke up many people. Many Yunfu cavalry officers and soldiers reacted. Yes, this is not suitable for cavalry charges, but using infantry for assaults is not a problem.
None.
The Yunfu cavalry have all been trained by infantry, so they are no strangers to the fighting methods of infantry. Especially those guys from the Mongolian tribes have been accustomed to this style of fighting with mounted cavalry and dismounted infantry in their early years. In Aqige
Under the command, the cavalry quickly dispersed. They dismounted and found various shields. Some found thick wooden boards, and some found the round shields of the bandit. In an instant, more than a thousand cavalry turned into
