Chapter 881 The Strength of the Dingzhou Cavalry

Fang Huiping is the defender of the Minzhou Army stationed in Cangping, with 1 troops under his command. Cangping is not only dangerous, but also has tidal flats, swamps, wetlands, etc. It is extremely difficult to attack Cangping, but now, Fang Huiping actually After receiving Liao Bin's order, he divided his troops to attack Qingyang, encircled Wei and rescued Zhao, so as to relieve the siege of Niukou.
Niukou and Cangping, as the right arm of the Tianzishan defense line, their importance should not be underestimated. Of course Fang Huiping knew this, but what made him incomprehensible was why Liao Bin was restrained in the Tianzi Mountain by a mere three thousand Dingzhou soldiers. Near the mountain, if there are any advantages and disadvantages in his attack, not only Niukou will be in danger, but even Cangping will be in crisis.

However, judging from the order sent by Liao Bin, Niukou has obviously reached an extremely critical moment. If Niukou is not protected, the Tianzishan defense line will be in crisis. On the whole, Liao Bin has his own reason for ordering himself to attack ．

Fang Huiping was always a little nervous. After leaving [-] infantry in Cangping, he led [-] cavalry to attack Qingyang. With [-] cavalry as the guide, he led the main force for half a day. At the same time, his main force will have enough time to return to Cangping. After thinking about all the possibilities carefully, Fang Huiping ordered to send troops.
Qingyang, Chen Zeyue laughed after listening to the report from the scouts, "Very well, the Cangping defenders really moved, good to move, Fang Huiping was careful, and this arrangement is also considered to be in the rules and disciplines, but please forgive me." Like a ghost, you have to drink my footwashing water. Xu Kexing was ordered to reduce the intensity of the attack on Niukou after Fang Huiping fought with us, and at the same time made the illusion of supporting our department. I believe that after Fang Huiping got the news , will definitely bring out his main force, and when that happens, it will be our chance."
Turning the wheelchair and walking to the window, I watched a round of setting sun in the sky slowly sinking. Half of the red sun was blocked by the mountains in the distance. I stared at the sun disappearing on the top of the mountain in the distance. The ray of light was retracted, leaving only the last red cloud in the sky.Chen Zeyue murmured: "Minzhou, you will become my prey, Zhang Aimin, you are like this sunset, it is already fading away, but when the morning sun rises tomorrow, that round of sun belongs to us Dingzhou people .”

Turning the wheelchair away from the window, Chen Zeyue picked up the helmet on the table, put it on his head properly, lifted the saber and put it on his lap, thought for a while, then put the saber back with a smile, "Let's go Bar!"

A Captain Yunhui came up and pushed Chen Zeyue out of the room.

"General Lu, we found the Rangers of the Dingfang Army!" A sentry came on horseback and reported loudly to Lu Ziyi.

"How many people?" Lu Ziyi's heart trembled. The Dingzhou Iron Cavalry is famous all over the world. Although the Minzhou Army has not been idle over the years, compared with the previous years, there have been earth-shaking changes, but it does not compete with the Dingzhou Army. In a battle, there is no bottom in my heart.

Lu Ziyi was the one who escaped with Zhang Aimin over the Snowy Mountains and saved his life. He had seen the power of the Dingzhou cavalry, and he had to say that in his heart, the ferocity of the Dingzhou cavalry cast a shadow on him.
"Not many, only a few rides."
"Explore again!"

"Yes!"
"Ready to fight!" Lu Ziyi drew out the saber from his waist.

Geling, the main road leading to Qingyang, is a hill no more than [-] meters high. At this time, at the foot of the mountain, [-] cavalry are standing in formation, and on the mountain, about [-] black-armored soldiers have formed three defenses. In the circle, behind them are ten eight-ox crossbows and ten trebuchets, and at a higher place, Chen Zeyue is sitting alone on a wheelchair, and his Chinese army officer is holding the Chen Zizhong army banner, standing on top of him Behind him, from a distance, it looks like a statue, standing still.

Even though more than a thousand people gathered on the entire Geling, it was quiet without a single sound, and the air was almost frozen.The atmosphere of the war permeated the entire Geling.
Although there are only more than 500 people on Geling, the [-] people have extraordinary backgrounds. Almost all of them are from the surviving people when Chen Zeyue commanded the defense at Baimadu. , and they have supported themselves in the crowd of thousands of enemies for more than a year. The evil and murderous aura they possess is beyond comparison to ordinary people, because they have long regarded themselves as dead people, and they can live until now , that is entirely a gift from God.
After Chen Zeyue formed a new army, these more than [-] people became his personal guards.
Lu Ziyi's two thousand cavalry appeared in the sight of the Dingzhou Army on Geling, and the two thousand cavalry formed a standard offensive formation of three cones, standing still.Lu Ziyi was very puzzled. Although Ge Ling guarded their way to Qingyang, how could these more than a thousand people block most of their attacks?Even with the [-] cavalry under his command, he has the confidence to rush over. No matter how powerful the Dingzhou cavalry is, there are only more than [-] cavalry, and the formation of the thousand infantry above Geling is obviously a defensive formation. Could it be that they want to block the impact of their own brigade with these five hundred cavalry?

Lu Ziyi couldn't see through the plan of the Dingzhou Army, so he hesitated, and he didn't order the attack for a long time. Seeing that Lu Ziyi didn't move, a general of the Dingzhou Cavalry under Geling suddenly put down his helmet, and followed his movements, The [-] cavalry behind him clattered and repeated this action at the same time, raising their spears in their hands and lowering their bodies slightly.
"Dingzhou Army, charge!" the general roared loudly, his voice was muffled because of the visor.
"Dingzhou Army, all victorious!" The five hundred cavalry roared in unison, kicking the horse's belly with their feet, and the five hundred cavalry rushed out like a whirlwind.

Su Ziyi's face was hot, and deep in his heart, there was a feeling of being stabbed, and a sense of shame emerged spontaneously. His 2000 people did not dare to attack first, but let the opponent's 500 people attack first. This is above morale. I lost a chip.
"Kill!" He raised his saber high and dropped it abruptly.
"Kill!" The three conical formations made a bang, and faced the five hundred cavalry who were charging.
"What did you say?" Fang Huiping couldn't believe his ears, "Chen Zeyue is in Geling? And there is only a team of more than a thousand people? How is this possible?" Looking at the messenger sent by Lu Ziyi in front of him, Fang Huiping asked repeatedly.

"General Fang, there is nothing wrong with it. Chen Zeyue is in Geling, and our entire army has seen it. Chen Zeyue is a cripple, sitting on a wheelchair, and staying on the highest peak of Geling."
Fang Huiping spread the map of Qingyang County on the ground and stared at it for a while, "It seems that Chen Zeyue really doesn't have many troops in his hands. Qingyang City is not small, and if he wants to guard Qingyang City, there must be no less than 3000 people. No wonder Chen Zeyue chose Geling to block it." We, with Geling's terrain, more than 1000 of them can indeed complete the task of holding on."
"Report!" A soldier rushed over, "General Fang, news came from our spies that since yesterday, the intensity of the Dingzhou Army Xu Kexing's attack on Niukou has suddenly decreased, and a part of the Dingzhou Army has suddenly left Niukou. We are heading towards Qingyang County."
Fang Huiping raised his head excitedly, and slapped his hands suddenly, "Great, this group of people must have been sent by Xu Kexing to rescue Qingyang City. They just set off yesterday, so we have one day to attack Geling. Chen Zeyue is Li Qingai's general." , if we can defeat and kill him, it will be a great victory for us, and it will also open the door to victory in the battle of Minzhou, pass on my order and speed up."

Fang Huiping gave an order, and the main force of the [-] Minzhou army, which had been slowly advancing towards Qingyang, suddenly accelerated and came straight towards Geling.

Lu Ziyi is looking forward to a battle with the Dingzhou cavalry, and uses victory to drive away his deep fear of the Dingzhou cavalry. For a general, this kind of mental barrier is quite unfavorable for combat. Great, he has two thousand horses, while the opponent he once feared has only five hundred horses, only a quarter of his own, defeating them, eating them, has always been the thorn in the depths of his heart He will be removed, and in future confrontations, he will no longer be afraid of the Dingzhou cavalry, because the Dingzhou cavalry is not invincible.

He was very excited, and felt deeply ashamed for his previous hesitation. He was brave after knowing his shame. Now he, with blood red eyes, rushed forward. He wanted to use the blood of the enemy to wash away the insult he had just received. ．
The Minzhou cavalry's offensive formation is arranged in a zigzag shape to keep their impact consistent. Wave after wave is like a sea wave, leaving the enemy no chance to breathe. They have practiced this offensive formation countless times. skilled.
1000 meters, 500 meters, 300 meters, the distance between the two sides is rapidly approaching.

Suddenly, Lu Ziyi's pupils shrank, and the opponent changed his formation, and unexpectedly divided his troops again.

The sudden change of formation during such a high-speed sprint does not make sense to laymen, but as a cavalry general, Lu Ziyi knows how difficult it is. As long as one person moves a little slower and changes direction incorrectly, he will become the leader of the rear cavalry. Obstacles make the formation no longer condensed, and in a cavalry duel, if one side's formation is compact and the other's formation is scattered, it will be disastrous.Although Lu Ziyi had great confidence in his cavalry, he never dared to change formation in this high-speed hedge.

The Dingzhou cavalry is famous all over the world, and their reputation is indeed well-deserved. During the transformation, they did not have anyone to give orders at all. They just followed the two generals who led the charge and completed this transformation naturally. The process is as natural as flowing clouds and flowing water. , 250 of the [-] cavalry were separated to avoid Lu Ziyi's frontal attack.
At 100 meters, the two Dingzhou cavalry, who seemed to be going to attack the Minzhou cavalry's character-shaped cavalry attacking team, completed their turn again. He first attacked the two flanks of the formation, but at this time, the two flanks had become his greatest weakness.

"How is it possible?" Lu Ziyi yelled wildly in his heart, how could it be possible to change formations and turn again in such a short distance, and the speed did not decrease at all?

Above Geling, Chen Zeyue showed a smile on his face, "Let me show you what the real Dingzhou cavalry is!"
