Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 34 The two armies meet
Gongsun Kuo's army advanced very well.

The scouts were led in front of the [-] knife shield soldiers, [-] infantry and archers were behind, thousands of mobile cavalry were on the two wings, and Gongsun Kuo and his personal guards were in the middle of the team.

These soldiers had been through battles for a long time. Although the training of the soldiers had been slack after Gongsun Kuo took over the Northern Xinjiang camp, their combat effectiveness would not have decreased so quickly.

Among the many armies of the Great Zhou, the Northern Xinjiang Camp is still considered the elite of the elite.

At this moment, the army could already see the towering walls of Beifeng City.

Gongsun Kuo narrowed his eyes and looked at the distant city.

"Has the pontoon been lowered yet?"

There are moats dug around Beifeng City, and the only way to enter the city is to take the pontoon bridge in front of the east gate.

The result of his secret discussions with the five major families earlier was that on the day of the incident, the five major families took the lead in attacking the city gate and lowering the pontoon bridge so that his army could enter the city smoothly.

But now the pontoon is still hanging high.

Gongsun Kuo showed displeasure: "Zhang Yuandong and others are really slow!"

Commander Wang Dan said from the side: "After the general enters the city, he must be punished!"

"That is."

Gongsun Kuo nodded and glanced at Wang Dan with satisfaction.

"Wang Dan, when I capture Beifeng City, I will give you some credit for the rewards."

Wang Dan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly said: "Thank you, General!"

"As for Zhang Yuandong and the others, don't think that His Majesty can see their names, hahaha."

Before entering the city, Gongsun Kuo couldn't bear to reward his meritorious deeds and killed the donkey.

At this time, a scout suddenly came to report: "General! There are a large number of cavalry near Beifeng City ahead!"

"Um?!"

Gongsun Kuo was shocked when he heard the words,
"Cavalry? How many?"

"It hasn't been investigated yet!"

"General, I guess it's just a small group of the Beibei Army on patrol. Our army is here, so don't worry about it." Wang Dan said.

"Indeed, a small troop of cavalry, nothing to—"

Before Gongsun Kuo could finish speaking, he suddenly cut off abruptly.

He looked into the distance, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and raised his fingers: "Look! What is that? Did I see it wrong!"

When everyone heard the sound and looked over, they all gasped.

I saw the dark, dense, overwhelming cavalry army galloping wildly, approaching Gongsun Kuo's army!

……

The moment Su Yuan saw the "Gongsun" banner appear, he began to call.

How many people does he need to defeat Gongsun Kuo's army?

Maybe ten thousand is enough.

But he chose to summon all the remaining Xiliang cavalry.

He didn't intend to fight a war of equal strength, he wanted to completely defeat Gongsun Kuo in the form of absolute crushing.

Let him fall into a situation that is more hopeless than hopeless.

Only in this way can casualties be minimized.

As Chu Changning said, most of the soldiers from the Northern Xinjiang Camp were brought out by Su Tufeng!

From Su Yuan's point of view, these soldiers should also belong to him, and they are all comrades. Compared with ruthless slaughter, he wants these soldiers to surrender to him and use them for himself.

Moreover, many relatives of these soldiers lived in Beifeng City, if they killed them randomly, it would only lead to complaints in the city.If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have to make any plans at all, and just send a hundred thousand troops to press them over.

For Su Yuan, governance is more important, and creating a society where everyone lives and works in peace is the most important thing.If it was just for the purpose of plundering, then the army would go directly south today, and it might be able to take down a lot of cities along the way, but what's the point of leaving the ground full of devastation and refugees everywhere.

At this time, a total of more than [-] cavalry appeared on the plain with the golden light flashing.

Su Yuan glanced at it, and felt an unspeakable sense of oppression and suffocation.

More than 7 eight-foot men in full armor, including men and horses, were lined up neatly, almost like a huge black wall, covering the sky and the sun, and it was extremely terrifying.

It was also the first time for Su Yuan to summon so many. After taking a few deep breaths, he gradually calmed down his inner excitement.

He got on his horse and issued his combat order.

"attack!"

The [-] cavalry galloped on horseback, the momentum was so great that even the ground trembled.

Gongsun Kuo's vanguard scouts were completely dumbfounded when they saw the tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly appearing.

There was no need for the scouts to report in a panic, Gongsun Kuo had already seen that the iron cavalry like a black cloud of panic appeared from all directions, and they were encircling him, trying to trap his entire army in the middle!

"Quick! Prepare for battle!"

Gongsun Kuo shouted in panic, his face was pale, as if he had completely lost his soul.

"General, what banner are you playing?!"

The flag soldier asked anxiously.

For an army of tens of thousands, it is useless to rely on shouting, and can only be commanded by semaphore.

Seeing Gongsun Kuo flustered, Commander Wang Dan couldn't help cursing a pustule in his heart!
Although he usually flirts with Gongsun Kuo, it is for his own career. He is very clear about how much Gongsun Kuo has.

Seeing the enemy army attacking, he hurriedly said: "General! Then Su Yuan must have been prepared, we have fallen for it! The most urgent thing now is not to fall into the siege, let the cavalry tear a hole and cover the army to rush out!"

"Yes, yes! Just do it!"

Gongsun Kuo quickly signaled the flag soldiers to play the flag language according to Wang Dan's words, and then cursed.

"Zhang Yuandong! The five major families! These bastards must have lied to me! They have already taken refuge in that little bastard Su Yuan!"

He thought that this was a trick set up by the five major families and Su Yuan, but it would not be long before he discovered that this was not the case.

"rush!"

Under the command of the semaphore, the cavalry on both wings of Gongsun Kuo's army joined together and rushed westward, trying to tear a hole for the army to retreat.

They can also see that the number of enemy cavalry is terrifying, encircled on all sides, and each side has more troops than their own army... This is simply...

Some generals thought in their hearts that the Northern Army in Su Yuan's town had at least 5 people!
Where did he get so many soldiers? !
Su Yuan was sitting in the army. Seeing that Gongsun Kuo's cavalry was about to attack the west wing, he immediately ordered the west cavalry to defeat the enemy's cavalry head-on!

Unlike Gongsun Kuo, he doesn't need any flag soldiers to play flags, but can directly command and summon soldiers through soldier symbols.

After receiving the order, tens of thousands of cavalry on the west wing raised their horses together to confront the cavalry of Gongsun Kuo's army.

"kill!!!"

The styles of the cavalry of the two armies were completely opposite. The cavalry of Gongsun Kuo's army kept shouting and killing, while the cavalry of Xiliang were as silent as iron, without saying a word, like sculptures.

Soon the two armies met, only to hear the sound of "bang bang", and the blood and stumps kept spraying out.

After the cavalry sprinted at high speed, the impact it brought was extremely terrifying.

When two cavalrymen collide, the competition is whose horse is stronger and whose armor is thicker!

Undoubtedly, Su Yuan's Xiliang iron cavalry in full helmet and full armor was even better. With just one encounter, hundreds of cavalry from Gongsun Kuo's army were knocked out, like a kite with a broken string, spraying blood in the air and falling to the ground. Luckily, they survived. The next moment, he was stabbed to death by a horse, or trampled to death by a horse's hoof!

"what!!!"

A Gongsun Kuo cavalry stabbed a Xiliang cavalry with a spear in his hand, but the tip of the spear got stuck on the chain mail of the cavalry.

The gap in equipment is clearly visible at this moment.

The armor of the Xiliang iron cavalry covers from head to toe, and even the neck is covered with soft armor.Although Gongsun Kuo's cavalry equipment is not bad, compared with Xiliang iron cavalry, it is like a toy.

This made the cavalry general almost collapsed.

He didn't know where Su Yuan got the money to equip such an army of heavy cavalry.

According to his experience, such a set of armor including horses, plus daily forage training, can't be bought without a hundred taels of silver!

Not to mention that the horses of these cavalrymen are also good horses, tall and vigorous, and valuable.

This is why cavalry is so precious, because the cost of building a heavy cavalry is too high!

But at present, Su Yuan has tens of thousands of cavalry, all of them are fully armored, even if the current Holy Majesty is sitting on the world, it is very difficult to raise such a terrifying scale of heavy cavalry.

Su Yuan only has a small city of Beifeng, where can there be so much money, food and grass? !

The cavalry general was puzzled, and there was no more time for him to think at the moment.

The comrades in front of him had already fallen, and the ring-shoulders of the Xiliang cavalry had already slashed in front of him.
