Chapter 498 Sharp Weapon
As soon as the wind and snow stopped, the weather turned slightly warmer.

The ice on the Yellow River shows no signs of melting.

After occupying Fenglingdu, Yang Zheng ordered scouts to patrol the Yellow River all the time, from Heyang to Puban, turning east at Fenglingdu, to Huxian and Hongnong.

The daily task of the scouts is to test the thickness of the ice, where it can pass, and where there are cracks.

The ice of the Yellow River is Yang Zheng's lifeline.

With the ice layer, Hedong County, Hongnong County, and Guanzhong are connected together, and Liangzhou cavalry can gallop at will, and it is impossible for Sima Zhao to block it.

Once the ice melts, the Liangzhou cavalry will be restrained everywhere.

In the direction of the horseshoe, several cities on the north bank of the Yellow River surrendered one after another.

In the south of the Yellow River, Yan Township, Hu County, Wu Township, Caoyangting, Maojin and other places also fled one after another.

In the past, with the Yellow River as a barrier, these places were all battlegrounds for military strategists, but now that the Yellow River is frozen, the strategic value of these places is extremely small.

Sima Zhao only defended Hongnong.

The south bank is fortified, and the forest of spears,
An army of 10,000+ camped on both sides of the Yellow River, and the antlers were spread layer by layer, like bone spurs growing on both sides of the river, and various banners stretched for more than ten miles.

Although the Chinese army has continued to expand in recent years, its combat power must not be underestimated.

In this era, there is no one who can't carry a knife.

The vast white land, the blue sky, the endless wilderness, the yellow and white mountains, and the 10,000+ army are majestic.

The cavalry on the north bank moved freely and horizontally, their blue-black iron armor was like tide water, and the horseshoes burst like thunder, crushing the shallow snow.

Occasionally, Qiang Hu cavalry let out bursts of wolf howling, and then jumped across the camp with wild laughter.

"The majestic formation is invincible!" Yang Zheng smelled the familiar scent from the arrangement of the opposite camp, "As expected of Chen Xuanbo!"

Guo Huai, Deng Ai, Chen Tai, the Yongliang Big Three, only Chen Tai is left, and he is also the most difficult one to deal with.

Guo Huai has selfish intentions, Deng Ai likes to take risks, only Chen Tai has no flaws, he fights steadily, and once the opponent reveals his flaws, he will pounce on him.

In the Battle of Qushan, Chen Tai fought against Niutoushan, forcing Jiang Wei to retreat, and then captured the two cities of Qushan, and the guard Ju'an surrendered.

Chen Tai used his troops steadily and ruthlessly.

"Although Sima Zhao relies heavily on Chen Tai, he will guard against him." Pang Qing said in a low voice.

"Sima Zhao is not good at leading the army, but he is very good at employing people. Don't take chances. The opponent in this battle must be Chen Tai!" Yang Zheng laughed.

In fact, there is no need to worry, Chen Tai is a famous general, and his side is not bad.

Moreover, Chen Tai put on a defensive posture as soon as he came up, it was nothing more than repeating the battle of Huainan.

But Shouchun is dead, but he is alive!

"General Meng, you can take five thousand brave cavalry and go to the front to show off our army's might!"

Fighting is all about momentum.

Sima Zhao shrunk into a tortoise, so he might as well let him see the Liangzhou cavalry.

"Wei!" Meng Yu bowed his hands and accepted the order.

After a while, hooves roared, and the cavalry rushed out, like blue and black long whips, sweeping across the vast white field from northwest to southeast.

People are like dragons and horses like tigers, and flags are like flames.

The 5000-odd Xiaoqi Battalion was like more than [-] flying regiments of angry flames, roaring as they passed the Chinese army camp.

Tens of thousands of crossbows were fired in the Chinese camp, feathered arrows roared across the sky, but were slowly blown down by the howling north wind, and were impotently nailed to the hooves of the running horses.

Xiaoqi's crossbow was shot into the camp by the wind.

This kind of attack is naturally not lethal, but it is enough to damage the morale of the Chinese army.

The cavalry raised their crossbows and laughed from west to east, as if they were reviewing the Chinese army.

From beginning to end, no one in the Chinese army played.

As long as Sima Zhao and Chen Tai are not old and confused, they will not fight the cavalry in the wild.

Meng Yu led the cavalry back to the north to form a large formation.

"Bah, the people in Sima's family are all cowards." Liu Heng spat.

Pang Hui raised his eyelids, he hesitated to speak, but he couldn't hold back, "Sima Zhao is good at using defense as offense, and he keeps pace at every step."

"Isn't this still a shrinking turtle?" Liu Heng asked back.

Pang Hui was speechless for a moment.

"General Pang is right. Sima Zhao has learned how to hide Sima Yi, and Chen Tai has made a plan. This battle will not be so simple." The words came out of Yang Zheng's mouth, and Pang Hui's words were completely two Effect.

Everyone dare not neglect.

Pang Qing clasped his hands and said, "Sima Zhao's going out of the wall is just delaying the time. Once the spring warms and the Yellow River melts, our army will be blocked in the east of the river."

The Yellow River runs from north to south, turning east at the east.

There are big rivers in the west and south, and undulating mountains in the north and east.

If the weather is warm, the cavalry will be greatly restricted.

"Sima Zhao thinks too much, hit if he can, and leave if he can't." Yang Zheng was not stupid enough to be dragged to death here by Sima Zhao.

At this time, the scouts rode over and said, "My lord, Chen Qian led an army of [-] Yanyu out of Shangdang and stationed in Anyi, and Yang Hu led an army of [-] to Linjin!"

Chen Qian was in the east and Yanghu was in the west. Chen Tai really wanted to block himself in the east.

For the Liangzhou army, what they are most afraid of now is not the enemy's siege, but staying still.

There will be no flaws if you don't move. Once the weather is warm, the cavalry will be restrained everywhere.

As long as it moves, there will be flaws everywhere.

"Chen Tai knows that I have the advantages of cavalry, but he doesn't know how strong my cavalry is!" Yang Zheng looked back at the generals around him. Surround me like Wu Qiujian and Zhuge Dan, let's see if they have this net!"

"Wish to defeat the enemy with the king!" All the generals bowed their hands.

Before Yang Zheng could issue orders, the drums of war suddenly sounded in the south.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Shouts fluttered in the cold wind.

Shield vehicles rolled out of the camp one after another.

On the front is a large shield with a tiger's head, and several spears protrude like spikes. It is two feet long and four feet wide. The body is covered with cowhide and rhinoceros armor. It is the same as pushing the antlers forward.

There are pawns on the left and right with spears to protect them.

From a distance, it seems that a group of hedgehogs are slowly wriggling.

Six or seven hundred Wugang chariots and infantry formed a formation of wild goose feathers on the river bank.

It was as if a huge wing was slowly flying towards Yang Zheng.

Behind the wings, a dense array of ants lined up under Xiaoshan Mountain.

The sharp spears pierced the sky, and even the winter sun was covered with a layer of cold air.

Two cavalry came out from the left and right, swimming on the two wings with ill intentions, like two dancing scimitars, once the frontal battlefield fell into a stalemate, they would stab in diagonally from the left and right to reap the battlefield.

Vehicles, steps, and rides all coordinate with each other in an orderly manner.

The Chinese army has fought fierce and tough battles for decades, and there are still many things.

"What kind of strange thing is this?" Liu Heng widened his eyes.

Others also looked blank, only Pang Hui said: "Wu Gang car?"

Historical Records: Biography of General Wei's Hussars: The general ordered Wu Gang's chariot to form a camp around him, and sent five thousand riders to serve as Xiongnu.

Huaxia is more proficient in chariot warfare than cavalry.

There are descriptions of Wugang chariots in Sun Wu's Art of War.

Wu Gang chariots are also seen in Zhuge Wuhou's eight formations.

Malone's van was also modified from Wugang.

There is also the Queyue Formation of Emperor Wudi Liu Yu of the Song Dynasty in history, which also used chariots to circle themselves, with crossbowmen behind them, and about [-] infantry broke through the [-] fine cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty...

In order to deal with him, Chen Tai even moved out such old antiques, and he still used his brains.

The more stupid the method is, the more effective it is, the more impossible it is to crack.

Wugang chariot with infantry is a sharp weapon to restrain cavalry
