Twenty miles outside Suiyang City, there is a valley called Qinglang Valley. Now, the 10,000 cavalry led by Li Kuo will reach the outside of the valley entrance.
As Li Kuo expected, the balance between himself and Cui Boyuan was finally broken as he continued to approach Suiyang City. When he reached a position thirty miles away from Suiyang, Cui Boyuan led the cavalry team to carry out his own wings.
Although he sent not many cavalry, it had a considerable restraining effect on himself.
In the confrontation between cavalry on the plains, quantity is the decisive factor, followed by speed and quality.
Even if you have the most elite army of one thousand cavalry, you may not be able to take advantage of tens of thousands of riders of average quality. If someone really dares to defeat the tens of thousands of cavalry troops with one thousand cavalry, it will be destroyed in a moment.
In the vast sea of riding.
What's more, Cui Boyuan faced an elite army like himself who was eager to rush to Suiyang for assistance. Hatred sometimes burst out with amazing power, and his army was obviously full of hatred for the rebels.
Cui Boyuan is well aware of these principles, so of course he will not take the initiative to seek a decisive battle with him. But he cannot watch the ten thousand new forces rush to the city of Suiyang. So what he has to do is to restrain his march as much as possible.
Speed wins more preparation time for Yin Ziqi outside Suiyang City.
From beginning to end, Cui Boyuan never thought of fighting with him!
This kind of harassment continued until he came outside the Qinglang Valley. At this time, Cui Boyuan led his soldiers away as if he had completed his mission, leaving behind the ten thousand cavalry looking at the valley blankly
.
The last time Li Kuo rushed to Ningling to help him, the road was exactly one in the south and one in the north, so the detailed actual terrain of this line was very vague.
"Qilang, it seems that Cui Boyuan is sure that we can't pass through this Qinglang Valley." Zhou Wujue grabbed the horse whip and pointed the mouth of the valley not far away, and smiled bitterly. No wonder Cui Boyuan led his army to evacuate without hesitation.
, the advantage of the number of people in such a narrow valley is completely unreflected, and there is no essential difference between 100,000 and 10,000. The rebels seemed to be able to get stuck if they were to station 5,000 soldiers in the valley.
The way to Suiyang by yourself.
Li Kuo sighed: "Yes, it seems that there is a fierce battle to fight now."
Even if the rebels firmly control the valley entrance, they must lead their troops to fight a battle with them. Only if they win can they pass through the Qinglang Valley and rush to support Suiyang. If they cannot win this battle, all the previous ones
All efforts will be in vain.
Green Wolf Valley, Green Wolf Valley!
Li Kuo clenched his fists and a cold light shot out from his eyes.
Qinglang Valley is in the shape of a cloth bag, and the side close to Suiyang is the bag mouth. In other words, it is very easy to advance from Li Kuo's side, but it will become very difficult to pass through the valley safely.
But Li Kuo had to face the difficulties, and at this time he had no choice.
He divided the 10,000 cavalry into four Zhechong camps, led by Zhou Wuzui, Dou Qing, Li Sheng and himself. The reason for the uprising team to be divided into four battalions was that the more you went north, the space in the valley was
The narrower it will become, it will be impossible to accommodate too many people.
The four armies launched an attack on the rebel array in a certain order, which can make up for the impact of the loss of combat power caused by the general leader of the army's military's combat power after fatigue.
Things may seem simple, but it is very difficult to do.
First of all, the space in the valley is narrower than Li Kuo imagined. Before the army had passed one-third of the valley, they had to take off their horses and walk on their own. The inability to ride horses also had a huge impact on this army, after all, the army was charged.
What they need most is a certain impact force, and if they can use the speed of the war horses to complete the rushing formation, it will be very easy. But now, they have to give up riding on horses to fight in the foot.
Since they are light cavalry and cannot carry too heavy weapons, each person is equipped with only one horizontal knife and one silver spear. Such weapons are naturally nothing to do in horse warfare, but in infantry warfare
The shortcomings were fully exposed.
The spear is a little better, after all, it can kill and injure the enemy from a distance. However, the horizontal sword is almost the weakest weapon in infantry battles. Facing the enemy, the defensive trench construction, Lu Chai, and the soldiers holding the horizontal sword are often not close yet.
For the convenience, you will be shot to death by a round of arrows.
Therefore, Li Kuo must come up with better ways to reduce the damage caused by enemy long-range crossbows to his army.
Finally, he discovered a strange-looking dead wood in the valley. This dead wood is similar to that of cypress, which is better than dry and hard, and is very suitable for defense. Li Kuo immediately ordered the entire army to collect dead wood and use skin-deleted arrows to connect it in series.
Together, a shield wall was formed that was tall and tall.
"I will be ordered by me, and the entire army of the first Zhechong battalion will attack!"
Li Kuo calmed his expression and pulled out the black knife that had countless blood-drinking hair from the scabbard, and swung it forward with all his might.
This is a tragic hand-to-hand battle!
This was clearly felt when Li Kuo led his troops into the enemy's first line of defense.
Although the enemy only deployed more than 500 people on this line of defense, they were stuck in their way. If they were not killed, they would never be able to move forward.
But how easy is it to kill them all?
"Puff!"
“Soul!”
"puff!"
Like locust-like feather arrows kept shooting on the giant shield, making waves of creepy sounds. Although I knew that the wooden shield was enough to block the enemy's shooting, the brothers from the first Zhezhang camp who were behind the wooden shield arrived for no reason.
Heart palpitations.
Now, it is very difficult for the soldiers of the First Zhe Chong Battalion to move forward, but they cannot stop. There are still many brothers waiting to move forward behind them. If they cannot seize this first line of defense,
The army cannot go further, and rushing to Suiyang City will become a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror, which is simply impossible to achieve!
"Enter!" Li Kuo gritted his teeth and issued a death order. At this moment, he must not hesitate at all. Even if he spends a lot of money, he will still seize this first line of defense.
"The governor has an order, come forward!" Wang Xiaochun shouted loudly, raised his sword and shouted.
"One, two, come in!"
"One, two, come in!"
Since the giant shield was made temporarily and the workmanship was extremely rough, the soldiers would consume a lot of physical strength every time they pushed forward. But this giant shield was their only support. The rebels stood on the slope, and in this
If the angle is only based on the wooden shield distributed by the army, it will sooner or later be shot into a sieve.
“Soul!”
"Puff!"
The feather arrows were still shooting on the giant shield, but the soldiers were not as panicked as before. They knew that the rebels' feather arrows would not cause harm to them, and they pretended that they had not seen the terrifying strange sound.
!
One step or two steps, the brothers in the first Zhechang camp moved their steps forward with difficulty.
"Ah!" "Ah!"
At some point, casualties occurred in the First Zhechong Camp. Some soldiers of the Jianghuai Army covered their wounds and fell to the ground in pain and groaned loudly. As the Jianghuai Army continued to advance, the angle between the rebels on the slope was getting higher and higher.
The rebels didn't have to worry about the fact that the angle of the crossbow would cause the feather arrows to be weak and weak, and they all leaned back and shot the feather arrows out.
More and more brothers fell down in pain and never stood up again!
The rebels adjusted their angle and shot upward, which was the reason for the casualties of brothers in the First Zhe Chong camp!
Li Kuo took a deep breath and ordered: "Except for the brothers who moved the giant shield, everyone pulled out the wooden shield to protect their vital points!"
As soon as this order was issued, the soldiers pulled out the wooden shield behind them to protect their heads and chests.
At this time, more and more feather arrows shot up from the slope. These feather arrows easily crossed the giant shield and shot down from the sky at the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army.
"Bang bang!"
"Puff!"
"Bang bang!"
Most of the feather arrows shot on the Tang Dynasty wooden shield and were removed from their strength, slid to both sides, losing the threat they deserved. But a few feather arrows still drilled into the gaps in the shield and shot out.
The throats of the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army.
"Uh, uh!" A soldier of the Jianghuai Army held the feather arrows tightly at the mouth of his throat, as if he wanted to say something. But he could not let Pao Ze understand what he wanted to express, a stream of red blood
He rushes out of his throat, and his eyes fall down with a deep and deep look.
Another soldier was shot through his eyes by the eagle feather arrow that flew over to the sky, and fell to the ground in pain, and was stepped into flesh mud by the brothers who followed him.
"Accelerate, accelerate quickly, there are only a few dozen steps left. Rush over, brothers, rush over!" Li Kuo pulled out the big black knife and ordered resolutely
ps: I hope Qilang and the others will come to help. Come on the Tang Dynasty! Come on Qilang! Come on the pie too, please encourage me more!
