Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1029 Unsuitable
"Swoosh!" An arrow flew out, and the enemy fell in response.

Not far away, dozens of cavalry mingled together, fighting hard.

Fights between cavalry can sometimes look ridiculous.After the horse's speed dropped, he waved the weapon and stabbed. The action simply made the infantry unable to bear to look directly at it.

The martial arts are seriously out of shape, there are large gaps in the front, back, left, and right, and there are a bunch of dead angles that cannot be cut.When it really stops, one-on-one, the cavalry will be killed by the infantry.

Maybe they couldn't stand this low-level fight, so they separated quickly, opened a distance, and charged again.

The horse neighed in pain, and the knight cried out in despair.When hedging, no one is spared, they are all cannon fodder.

Moments later, the battle was over.

Chen Hanbin couldn't bear the attrition of the cavalry and ordered to withdraw.

The knights of the Silver Spear Army swaggered around, mocking and provoking loudly.But they are also veterans, carefully controlling the distance and not letting themselves get within the range of the step bow.

"This time it's a big trouble." Chen Hanbin sighed inaudibly.

Three thousand sergeants went out to fight, but they encountered the enemy cavalry.Because of the haste, there was no time to prepare the vehicles that hindered the enemy's charge.Well, it’s okay without a vehicle, just prepare some obstacles such as antlers in advance. If there is no one, it’s okay to cut some branches and modify it, but they didn’t make any preparations.

As a general, he doesn't know the enemy's soldiers or the enemy's situation. When he encounters a provocation, he leads his army to attack, trying to destroy the thieves.If you meet such a person, consider yourself unlucky.

The silver gun army rushed up again.This time they circled to the rear, and before the Huai army could react, they quickly rode and shot a wave, and then rode away again without any regrets.

In desperation, the Huai army divided another part of the people to face the rear, and the whole formation almost turned into a hedgehog shape.

More and more cavalry appeared nearby. They rode in hundreds, constantly teasing the infantry of the Huai Army, and sometimes ventured deep into the range of the infantry bows, and did not hesitate to suffer casualties.

The formation of the Huai people was greatly involved, and when viewed from above, it was slightly deformed.Some are protruding forward, some are behind, some are running quickly, and some have not caught up. The gap between them is getting bigger and bigger, and the joint can even run a horse.

Zhe Congyun climbed up the branch of the tree again, watching the enemy's formation.

It was clear that the enemy was not prepared in the slightest.After continuously attacking and killing their people who went out to collect firewood and reconnaissance, they came angrily to wipe them out, and ended up falling into their own trap.

The quality of their infantry is okay, but not strong.

It's not that his skills are not strong, it's more that he has never seen so many war horses, and he is extremely uncomfortable with this style of play.

Theoretically speaking, brave and brave infantry can still deal with cavalry without formation or scattered formation, but [-]% of infantry in the world can't do this, so you can't ask too much of them. Difficult to overcome.

The infantry of the Huai army was so repeatedly teased and involved, that the formation has gradually become disorganized.Zhe Congyun couldn't see the expressions on their faces clearly, but from their gradually sluggish movements, it could be seen that their physical strength had also been consumed a lot.

They don't have a car formation to protect them, so they can't rest in batches, but the Silver Spear Army can be divided into several groups to engage in wheel battles.

They are screwed.

The flag was gradually raised.Chen Hanbin also noticed this, but he didn't do anything because he didn't know what the Xia people planned.

There was a dull sound of hoofbeats in the northwest.

The sound was not hurried, obviously not a large group of cavalry, but it was extremely dull, like drumsticks, beating heavily on people's hearts.

Shining silver armor appeared in the eyelids of everyone.

Tall war horses, thick armor, and thick and long lances, this is a very powerful but difficult to find a place to play: armored cavalry.

The knight steered the horse calmly, gradually increasing his speed.

The crotch rides are all tall horses carefully selected by Yinchuan Ranch. Although they all have various defects, such as bad temper, genetic instability, poor endurance, and easy to get sick, but tall and fast are enough. When charging up, the power is simply shocking.

"Hold on!" Chen Hanbin roared angrily, and cursed secretly at the same time.

What age is it, and you still use armor to ride? !Is Shao thief crazy?Expensive and useless, what's the use of it except for cosmetics?

"Expensive and useless" armored cavalry don't hear them.The speed of the horse gradually increased, and the power of the charge became more and more astonishing. The infantry of the Huai army was physically weak and exhausted. An irresistible sense of despondency.

The light cavalry gradually gathered, following the wings and behind of the Feixiong army, it seemed that they were waiting for the armored cavalry to break through the gap, and then swarmed in, dividing the enemy into several pieces.

"Steady!" Chen Hanbin stepped forward anxiously, holding a rifle in front of him.

too late.The cumbersome armored rider was extremely fast, and it arrived in an instant, rushing forward with great momentum.

"Boom!" "Clatter!" "Ah!"

The infantry in the first two or three rows were washed away.

With their scattered formation, they couldn't organize effective resistance at all, and the people behind continued to flee, and the thin layers of pawns were torn to pieces like paper.

Chen Hanbin's rifle had been broken, and the armored cavalry that hit it had its head drooped, and seemed to be dead or seriously injured. It didn't make any movement, but the horse continued to charge forward.

The light cavalry seized the opportunity and rushed into the gap, firing arrows in bursts, continuing to create chaos.

The three thousand infantry were routed and lost their will to fight. They turned around and ran away, completely ignoring anything, just wanting to save their own lives.

The light cavalry followed happily, harvesting heads wantonly.

Chen Hanbin stumbled and ran for two steps. Hearing the wind behind him, he subconsciously dodged and passed by with his gun.

But before he could be happy, another shot came from the side, using his horse's momentum, directly pinning him to the ground.

Countless horseshoes stepped on his body, and continued to charge forward, chasing death and north.

Zhe Congyun climbed down from the tree, got on his horse, and led his soldiers in pursuit.

After this chase, he chased to Xu Cheng.Thousands of Haizhou soldiers in the city panicked and scattered.

The cavalry continued southward, chasing all the way to Linhuai County, defeating a group of Tutuan villagers who were marching.

No one stopped, everyone was fighting with high spirits, divided into several groups, and harassed everywhere with the momentum of a big victory.

They burned down the forage field, destroyed the post station, killed the low-strength Xiangyong, and entered Bo to the city of Linhuai.There was also the expert archer, who risked being hit by crossbows and long arrows, bent his bow and set an arrow, shot down a large banner on the top of the city, and left laughing.

The whole Sizhou was turned upside down.

******
Shao Shude was currently active near Hong County.

There are quite a few soldiers and horses around him, including two thousand silver saddle straights, three thousand silver spear troops, and two thousand armored cavalry.

He didn't think about regaining Hong County, a county under the jurisdiction of Suzhou that had been occupied by the Huai people for a long time. He only looked around for a while, and then left.

"See Your Highness." Dai Siyuan and Li Renhan, the chief and deputy envoys of the Japanese army, saluted together.

There were originally ten thousand Japanese troops, but after the cavalry were drawn away, there were still nine thousand three hundred.The attack on Donghe City was unsuccessful before, so they gave up immediately. At present, more than [-] people have been transferred to the north to wait for opportunities to join other battlefields.

"Is there any movement from the bandit army in Donghe City?" Shao Shude asked.

"The bandit army has few soldiers, so they dare not go out of the city." Dai Siyuan replied.

"It's a pity." Shao Shude smiled and said, "It's not easy to meet someone as reckless as Chen Hanbin."

If the thieves don't come out, fight with you, or be mobilized, there will be no openings.But there are hidden dangers in this passive way of fighting, and Shao Shude is going to seize this point and make a fuss.

"The Japanese army will march eastward to Sizhou immediately, and cooperate with the Silver Spear Army to fight." Shao Shude ordered: "Don't force it, don't rush forward, and cooperate with the cavalry to fight, mainly to eliminate the bandits."

"As ordered." Dai Siyuan and Li Renhan responded in unison.

"Your Highness, there is no doubt that Yang Xingmi should be clear. After Sizhou suffered a loss, in order to stabilize the flanks, he will definitely send a large army to help. In the matter of going east, you have to be more cautious. After April, the southeast wind is blowing non-stop, and the Huai people It is very convenient for the boat master to go north or west. From Qingkou to Linhuai and Xuyi, it will take only a few days..."

"Don't worry." Shao Shude said: "He hits his, I hit mine. Why do you want to fight Yang Xingmi head-on? It is the best policy to use cavalry to mobilize the enemy and wipe them out in mobile warfare. Yang Xingmi is here, he came to Huaihe River, I'll leave. I don't seek fame, I only seek real benefits. The only way to win is to eliminate as many vital forces as possible from the bandit army."

When Shao Shude said this, Xie Tong was relieved, and Dai Siyuan and Li Renhan also had a clearer understanding of the battle plan for the next period of time, and they saluted and left.

From the eighth day of April, Shao Shude released most of the cavalry, and a total of more than [-] cavalry rode around the land of Sizhou.With the help of the Japanese infantry, the range of activities of the cavalry expanded dramatically, because someone in the rear helped them collect food and grass, guard the prisoners, and sometimes even help attack fortresses that cavalry alone could not take.

On the ninth day of the lunar new year, the rebel army Xuyi, Linhuai, and Hongxian defenders assembled more than [-] infantry and tried to recover Xucheng, but the results were inconsistent. Before the Hongxian defenders arrived, the Linhuai defenders had already retreated, losing two More than a thousand.

The Xuyi defenders had just crossed the river. When they heard the news of their defeat, they sent thousands of people to help defend Linhuai, and then retreated to the south bank.

On the [-]th, on the way back, the Hongxian defenders were besieged by more than [-] troops from the Pengri, Yinqiang, and Feixiong armies. The [-] Qizhou soldiers were wiped out, and Feng Jingzhang only escaped.

That night, the [-] defenders who stayed behind in Hong County surrendered.

On the [-]th, a large group of cavalry appeared near Linhuai again. The Huai people hurriedly burned the pontoon bridge connecting the south bank, and dared not go out to fight.

On the [-]th, Xia Jun built a pontoon bridge near Linhuai in a posture of crossing south.

Haozhou was facing a formidable enemy, and urgent military newspapers flew to Qingkou one after another.

Hongxian, Xucheng, and Linhuai had a total of [-] soldiers and horses. In less than ten days, half of them were directly tossed.Although they were all miscellaneous generals recruited from various places, such a loss method still made Yang Xingmi frown.

Xia Jun's tactics made it very uncomfortable for the Huai Army who were used to face-to-face combat.It's time to think about how to fight next.
