I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 253 Victory in the First Battle
Morale can not be discouraged.

Enlan Zhipuya didn't know how to say this Central Plains phrase, but as a general who has led troops for many years, he still understood the truth.

For the cavalry of the Qingtang Army, the current situation made them very angry with the hundreds of cavalry of the Jin Army behind them.

Enlan Zhipuya could only order the cavalry to return to their horses and chase the small cavalry led by Liu Qi.

Seeing this, Liu Qi turned his horse's head and ran away.

This time Qingtang gathered the whole army to pursue and pursued for several miles before stopping.The reason why he stopped was because there was no need to chase, and the other party also stopped.

Facing them was the cavalry brigade of the state of Jin.

Liu Qi saw that his army had already formed a formation, so he immediately detoured from the flank of his own army to the rear of the formation to make some adjustments.

On the wild wolf field at the junction of Songzhou and Yizhou, the most elite cavalry from Qingtang and Dajin met.

The timing of this kind of battle is somewhat unfavorable for the Qingtang people, but at this time they definitely cannot retreat.

The distance between the two sides is only one mile now, and it can be known in an instant.Courage is what we fight for when we meet on such a narrow road.

Shi Wannian, Ma Shanbao, and Zhang Chaozong each led one, of which Shi Wannian was the chief general in the center and led the hatchback alone, while Ma Shanbao and Zhang Chaozong each led one wing, which was located on the two wings.

Liu Qi went back behind him, changed a horse, and came to Ma Shanbao in front of the battle again.

At this time, the two sides are still confronting each other.

"How is it? I fly the kite well, right?" Liu Qi said to Ma Shanbao proudly.

Ma Shanbao glanced at him, he had long been used to Liu Qi's showy temperament.

Shi Wannian of the Chinese army here looked directly at the opponent's banner and shouted: "The opposite is the Enlan Department stationed in Dafeichuan. They claim to be the most elite cavalry of the Qingtang people. Let them experience it today. Let's all How did the Jin cavalry fight?"

"Send the order, three arrows array, the whole army assault."

After all, Shi Wannian, who was dressed in black and armed with a big iron spear, took the lead and rode away.

After seeing the command flag, Ma Shanbao and Zhang Chaozong both took long spears in one fell swoop, and shouted loudly: "The whole army, attack with arrows, kill."

The front-arrow array is the most common formation for the cavalry to attack. The three-arrow array is naturally divided into three parts, the left and the middle, like three sharp arrows shooting at the Qingtang cavalry army.

Seeing the menacing approach of the opponent, Enlan Zhipuya also raised the spear in his hand, "The whole army assaults."

When the Qingtang people saw the command from the general, they all lined up with swords and guns, and charged on horseback.

This cavalry battle with a scale of nearly [-] people erupted on the open wild wolf field at this moment. At this moment, the two sides did not have any backhands or strategies, and it was a head-to-head fight.

The cavalry on both sides moved straight forward, waving spears and swords in their hands. The moment they collided, weapons and armor, weapons and weapons, horses and horses, horses and people... All kinds of sounds gathered together, as if the world was shaking.

Shi Wannian, who was in the lead, was in the vanguard, stabbing or smashing with the iron spear in his hand, almost no enemy under his command.

Behind him, thousands of cavalry troops followed closely, and the two sides converged together, shouting and killing loudly.

In a head-on confrontation, the advantage of the Jin army's tight organization is reflected.

Although the Qingtang cavalry army also did not lack courage, when they fought, they relied more on their individual bravery and gathered together in groups.

It is impossible to maintain formation and organization when the two sides are fighting.

This is also because the cavalry positions of the two sides are different.

The main purpose of the cavalry of the Jin army is naturally to formulate tactics against the nomadic cavalry in the northern border and surrounding areas.

As for the Qingtang cavalry army, the most battles they fought were internal counter-insurgency operations.

More often, what is needed is its strong mobility to launch a sudden attack on the rebels.More one-sided pursuit and killing.

They rarely encountered enemy troops neatly lined up.It will not face the enemy directly and launch an impact like it is now.

As for how to maintain the formation when charging in groups, in the previous battles, it was not a problem for the cavalry of the Enlan Department to think about.

Just follow the leader and the generals.

So in this head-to-head riding battle, the seemingly aggressive Qingtang people fell into a passive stage shortly after the battle.

The main generals of the Jin army are all fierce generals who are good at riding and fighting, and they are extremely accurate in judging the trend of the battlefield.

They took their well-equipped personal guards and used them as arrows to attack the opponent's weak points on the battlefield, making it impossible for the Qingtang Army's cavalry to gather.

Enlan Zhipuya's youngest son, Enlan Songbao, was seventeen years old. He was extremely brave with a spear in his hand, and assassinated several cavalrymen of the Imperial Army in succession.

Another shot, another.

He was very excited when he first entered the battlefield.This is what the men of the Enlan family should do.

Jin people are nothing more than that.This is his most intuitive impression.

At this moment, he didn't realize at all that his formation, which was originally one, had been divided into several parts by the Jin army, and the various departments could not echo each other.

He was still silent at the wonderful moment when the spear pierced through the opponent's armor.In the future, he, Enlan Songbao, will of course become the most valiant cavalry general in Qingtang.

Just like his father.

In the next moment, Enlan Songbao felt a chill in his heart, and he lowered his head to see half of the spear.

But he had no chance to look back and see what the person who killed him looked like.

Zhang Chaozong withdrew Changlong, and then led his cavalry again to outflank and divide the hundreds of Qingtang cavalry not far away.

In the melee stage, the main general can no longer command the overall situation, and most of the two sides have been mixed together.

At this time, the test is the commanding ability of the generals and schools at all levels, which is why Shi Wannian dared to lead the cavalry directly to confront the Qingtang cavalry head-on.

Among the newly-built Eighth Army that held the Japanese Army directly under the Marshal's Mansion, like the Longwu Army, they were all cavalry troops.

The generals and schools under his command are all meritorious generals and schools from the four towns of Hexi, Hedong, Shuofang, and Longyou.Among the four towns, Hexi is the main one.

Both have experienced the two wars in Xuanjia in 16 and 17 years, and have rich combat experience.

In the cavalry battle with a team of more than a hundred people, it has an advantage.

After fighting for a while, Enlan Zhipuya led his soldiers to kill several times, but felt that there were Jin troops everywhere.But there were fewer and fewer people on their own side, and then they led their personal guards to a high ground on the west side of the battlefield, looking down.

He quickly saw what was wrong with his side, and he knew that going on like this was not the way to go, and a direct confrontation was definitely not the opponent of the Jin army.So he immediately ordered the whole army to withdraw and retreat.

With the blowing of the yak horn for the Qingtang people's retreat, thousands of Qingtang cavalry immediately stopped entanglement with the Jin army and began to run towards the north.

After Shi Wannian led his army to pursue for several miles, he wanted to continue the pursuit, but was dissuaded by Ma Shanbao.

"Look ahead, if there is an ambush in the forest, what can I do?"

Looking in the direction of Ma Shanbao's finger, the terrain in front of him has changed. After passing Yelangyuan and heading north, there is a dense forest. Although there is a road in the middle, ambushes can be placed on both sides.

We have already arrived in Songzhou, and the enemy army has 10 people. We have sent out a few thousand people to set up an ambush. For the siege troops, there is no pressure.

"Here's an order to stop the pursuit, return to the Wild Wolf Field, and set up camp near the river."

After thinking for a long time, Shi Wannian made a decision.

Enlan Zhipuya looked back at the cavalry of the Jin army, but sighed.Just as the Jin army thought, there were indeed [-] infantry in the forest as ambush.

"such a pity"

At this time, Enlan Zhipuya didn't know that her most beloved young son, Enlan Songbao, died at the hands of the Jin army.

I just feel that in this battle, the losses of both sides are not small.The casualties of the Qingtang people were obviously more, but they failed to achieve the pre-conceived goal.

"Headman, General Songbao" "What?" Hearing the report from his youngest son's subordinates, Enlan Zhipuya's mind suddenly went blank.

"General Songbao, he was killed."

Enlan Zhipuya, who was nearly 50 years old, almost passed out directly. "Give me an order, I'm going, kill all Jin people."

The Jin army that had already retreated did not understand why the Qingtang army had to make a comeback since it had already retreated.

But this is exactly what Shi Wannian meant, and he didn't enjoy killing just now.

The two sides fought again, as if the same play was sung twice.

In the end, the Qingtang cavalry left hundreds of corpses and fled in embarrassment again.

In the first battle of Songzhou, the Jin army won and beheaded more than a thousand ranks.

"The first battle was won."
