In the area within Wuyang County, there are hills such as Qinglong Mountain, Qishan Mountain and Baosheng Mountain, which are actually shallow hills. The main terrain of Wuyang County is flat and open, and most of them are plains.
Such an area would allow Lu Xuan's three hundred cavalry to race quickly.
When Lu Xuan entered the army, as time passed, the distance between him and He Zong became closer and closer.
Although He Zong was quite old, in order to show off his grandeur, he still rode on horseback. His subordinates were all infantrymen, and they rode on horseback. They didn't need to go too fast to ensure that they could surpass most of the soldiers.
Beside He Zong, there were soldiers carrying the big flag representing He Zong, and there were flags flying around him.
He Zong looked calm, calm, and relaxed. He did not take the bandits in Qinglong Mountain seriously at all. In addition, He Zong was in charge of the place and had experienced peace for many years and had no experience in fighting.
Zhou Shi led his men to capture Xiangrui at Qinglong Mountain, but he did not know that there were enemies in Qinglong Mountain, so he did not arrange sentinels. He Zong knew that there were enemies in Qinglong Mountain, so he did not send out sentries and only led his army forward.
So much so that he didn't even know that Lu Xuan was coming to kill him.
He Zong looked at Qian Li, who was leading the army at the side, and said: "Qian Li, when our army arrives at Qinglong Mountain, we must capture alive the leader of the bandits under the banner of Ren Qi. I will let him know how Zhou Shi died."
Qian Li is forty years old and quite obese.
When he rode on horseback, his horse was struggling a little. Moreover, like Zhou Shi, he had a big belly and had long been neglected in fighting.
Qian Li was also confident and said loudly: "Don't worry, Mr. Fu. Three thousand people will be killed. A few thieves can be wiped out with a snap of the finger."
He Zong stroked his beard under his chin, with a look of approval on his face, and promised: "Qian Li, you are an old man who has been with me for six or seven years. This time the bandits have been eliminated, and the magistrate of Wuyang County is vacant. You can go
Served as the magistrate of Wuyang County."
Qian Li suddenly became excited.
He had always been a military general and had no money to make. Now, He Zong promised to make him the county magistrate. This was an opportunity to make money.
Qian Li looked excited and said loudly: "Please rest assured, Mr. Fu, we will definitely win in one battle when we attack the bandits."
He Zong smiled and nodded, feeling even more proud.
It's that simple to control people's hearts.
If you are willing to give benefits, everything will be arranged easily. Although Zhou Shi, an obedient and sensible person, is gone, Qian Li is also enterprising and obedient. After Qian Li became the magistrate of Wuyang County, he also has people he can use.
He Zong was holding the horse's reins in one hand and stroking his beard with the other. Taking advantage of the gap in his hurry, he had the leisure to enjoy the scenery on both sides.
It's not May yet, the weather is not too hot, and the surrounding scenery is pleasant.
Very suitable for outing and playing.
When He Zong was leading his men, less than a mile away from He Zong, the three hundred cavalry led by Lu Xuan began their final acceleration. Lu Xuan came from Qinglong Mountain and ran at full speed to close the distance at first, then relaxed in the middle
Recover your stamina and run at full speed when you finally get close.
Boom!!
Three hundred war horses trampled the ground with a mighty force, splashing smoke and dust all over the ground.
The cavalry spread out, as if a sharp sword passed by, as fast as thunder. When Lu Xuan could already see He Zong's army rushing ahead, his eyes became brighter, his spear pointed forward, and he shouted: "Attack!
"
With an order, the army attacked.
"attack!"
Zhao Yun also shouted loudly.
Three hundred cavalry roared and charged.
The deafening sound echoed across the vast plains and reached He Zong's ears.
When He Zong saw the cavalry coming from a distance, his face changed slightly. Although his eyes were a little panicked, he did not lose his position. He decisively ordered: "Qian Li, mobilize all the troops to press forward. The bandits don't have many troops. They are strong outsiders and cadres inside. Give them to
I blocked them, surrounded them and annihilated them."
"kill!"
Qian Li followed up and gave the order.
The order flag wavered, and the ordering soldiers quickly conveyed the order.
A large number of troops rushed forward, rushing in a swarm without any order.
Under normal circumstances, the cavalry charges the infantry. If the infantry is elite enough, obeys orders and prohibitions, is not afraid of death, and forms a spear formation to counterattack, and the cavalry attacks them head-on, they will die.
Because the cavalry offensive cannot penetrate the infantry defense line, it will be unable to escape and will lose its maximum mobility advantage.
The best arrangement for the cavalry is to use their own mobility advantages to shoot from a distance with bows and arrows like flying kites, or to roam and hunt. When the infantry legions come up to kill on a large scale, the cavalry will retreat. As soon as the infantry retreats, the cavalry will immediately mount their horses to cover them up.
.
Or, when the two armies are fighting inextricably, the cavalry rushes out as a surprise force, acting as a sudden thrust and deciding the outcome in a single battle.
Now, He Zong doesn't talk about rules and regulations.
Lu Xuan noticed that He Zong's troops were rushing out in a swarm. He felt disdainful and just charged with all his strength. In a blink of an eye, the people he led reached the front of He Zong's infantry.
Lu Xuan stabbed a soldier with his spear, and with the power of the horse's sprint, it pierced the soldier's body, and then drew out a cloud of blood.
Xu Chu slashed with his long sword, and the blade fell on the soldier, splitting the soldier in half.
Zhao Yunlong's bright silver spear swept across, and only the sound of banging was heard, and the soldiers blocking the front were pulled away one after another.
The three of them joined He Zong's team.
Three hundred cavalry followed behind, dropping sharp swords and killing the officers and soldiers one by one.
The fighting on the battlefield, without the excitement of fighting, without the stalemate, turned directly into a one-sided massacre. Lu Xuan's cavalry continued to advance like plowing through the courtyard and sweeping holes. And after a face-to-face encounter, a large number of soldiers under He Zong were frightened.
When they saw the cavalry coming to kill them, they all fled.
Wherever Lu Xuan led his people, they were invincible.
He Zong's soldiers were killed and defeated.
He Zong saw the army's defeat on the battlefield, and saw the cavalry sweeping across like a hurricane. His beautiful face no longer had the confidence and calmness it had before, his face turned pale, and his legs were trembling.
After all, he had not retreated yet, so he further ordered a siege and asked the soldiers to resist.
Although Lu Xuan's three hundred cavalry were small in number, they were all battle-hardened soldiers with strong combat effectiveness. They were also cavalry. Even if He Zong ordered to resist, it was of no avail. No one could form a defense line at all.
When Lu Xuan was charging to kill, his eyes fell in the direction of He Zong's banner. He picked up his spear and rode his horse to attack in the direction of He Zong.
Xu Chu and Zhao Yunce responded to the left and right.
Three hundred cavalry followed behind, constantly killing in the direction of He Zong.
The distance between the two sides quickly narrowed.
When He Zong discovered that Lu Xuan was coming, he was confused for a moment. In a short time, these people broke through the military formation and came towards him. Especially when He Zong saw the black torrent sweeping in, he couldn't help but swallow a gulp.
His eyes became even more panicked.
Qian Li's calves were trembling, and he quickly persuaded: "Master Fu, the bandits are too brave, our army collapsed. Retreat, we will immediately withdraw to Wuyang County and use the city to resist."
"Withdraw troops!"
After He Zong came to his senses, he ordered to decisively turn the direction of his horses and retreat.
Qian Li also retreated with him.
The order was passed on, and the troops under He Zong retreated across the board, further leading to a complete rout.
