Horse on the World

Chapter 979

Xiao Tianyang, Xiao Tianhao thinks that the five thousand cavalry led by Youyan are the elite among the elite. Even if they are not as good as the famous Whirlwind Camp, they are not far behind. Hearing Jiang Kui's words, he underestimates their strength The meaning was very obvious, and the two couldn't help holding their breath in secret. People fought for breath, and Buddha fought for a stick of incense. No matter what, they couldn't lose their own face.
Er Xiao did have enough confidence. After Youyan took refuge in Dingzhou, the army went through a large-scale reorganization and cut off bad personnel. The original army of more than [-] was reduced to the current size of [-], and none of them remained. They are not veterans who have experienced many battles, but these five thousand cavalry are You Yan's housekeeping treasure.
In the night, nearly [-] cavalry left their station and headed southwest. A hundred miles away was the only local army that responded to the call of the apocalypse and came to King Qin this time.
In the first half of the night, Youyan's army followed the Whirlwind Camp without a single step. Since Jiang Kui's scheduled attack time was in the early morning, the speed of the Whirlwind Camp was not fast, and it was even at midnight. The whole army dismounted and rested for an hour. Afterwards, the Whirlwind Battalion got back on their horses, and Xiao Tianyang and Xiao Tianhao immediately felt the difference. At this time, they were still fifty miles away from their attack target, and two hours before dawn.
The atmosphere of the entire Whirlwind Battalion completely changed. The cavalrymen who were talking and laughing before all pursed their lips at this moment, and a murderous aura that had been battle-tested began to spread invisible, and even Er Xiao felt it. There was an inexplicable pressure.The horseshoes were flying, and this time the Whirlwind Battalion began to sprint with all their strength.
The Youyan cavalry immediately felt the gap between them and the opponent. In less than half an hour, the two sides opened a distance of several miles. The opponent's horse control skills and perfect control of the formation made Er Xiao finally see a real cavalry. The whirlwind battalion that is best at long-distance raids.
"Brother Seven, with such a full sprint, do you still have the strength to fight when you reach the goal?" Xiao Tianhao asked Xiao Tianyang loudly while galloping his horse.
"I don't know!" Xiao Tianyang said: "Tell our soldiers to keep up with them. The distance of fifty miles will take less than an hour. When it's time to fight, immediately replace another horse. The opponent is just one that has never really fought. Dafu's troops, as long as they break through their camp, they are cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Besides, the Whirlwind Battalion is serving as an outpost for us. Maybe when we arrive, they have already broken through the opponent's camp, and we will wait to pick them up. ready-made!"

Xiao Tianhao laughed, whipped his horse twice, and galloped forward.

Zhai Jinyu, commander of Changzhou Army Camp, has been restless for the past few days. He gathered 5 troops from the state, and when he rushed all the way here, he found that the army of King Laiqin was only his family. What made him even more unhappy was that, For King Qin's army horses, Luoyang did not have sufficient logistics supplies for him. The Changzhou army that came in a hurry only brought less than ten days' rations. Grain, how many days can this last for an army of 10,000 people?What made him even more anxious was that the situation in Dachu was much more serious than he had imagined. The [-]+ Luoyang battalion army, facing almost the same number of Dingzhou army, did not even have the courage to fight ．Instead, they just huddled in the line of defense and strictly guarded against death.
Zhai Jinyu gave Luoyang another note today asking for supplements of grain, grass and military equipment. If he still couldn't get a satisfactory answer, he had to consider bringing troops back to return.
Zhai Jinyu stayed up all night, weighing the advantages and disadvantages between the two. When it was almost dawn, a rumbling sound like thunder woke him up in a daze.

Is it thundering, is it going to rain, if it rains, it will be too bad!Di Jinyu secretly thought in his heart, but immediately, he felt something was wrong, it wasn't thunder, why would the ground tremble when thunder struck.
Cavalry, massive cavalry!Di Jinyu broke out in cold sweat, got up from the bed, and rushed out of the tent in disheveled clothes. When he looked around, his blood was almost solidified. In his vision, a fire dragon was winding for several miles, and it was quickly heading towards his mother. The battalion is approaching.
Enemy attack!

"Blow the horn, sound the alarm, the whole army is assembled, ready to fight!" Zhai Jinyu roared sharply.

Tens of thousands of torches lit up the night sky, and Jiang Kui's excited face was illuminated. With the steel gun held high in his hand, he shouted: "The whole army changes horses! Prepare for an assault!"

Among thousands of horses galloping, no matter how loud Jiang Kui's voice is, only the cavalry within a few meters of Fangyuan can hear his roar, but the Whirlwind Camp is obviously very skilled in this set of combat methods. When he jumped up and jumped to the other battle horse that had been following him, almost at the same time, more than [-] cavalry from the Whirlwind Battalion completed this action at the same time. During the violent assault, one A different attack formation quickly took shape.
At the front are the cavalry who charged into the camp. Most of them are holding heavy weapons. These things are used to destroy the opponent's fence. Behind them, another group of soldiers are holding grappling hooks in their hands. They were dozens of steps ahead of the other two attacking groups with bows and arrows, and they were responsible for covering.

These formations were completed in the process of galloping fast. Zhai Jinyu saw this scene with cold hands and feet. This kind of elite cavalry was the only one he had ever seen in his life. The opponent was only a few miles away from him. Inside, it was still a chaotic scene, the soldiers were running around, behind the barracks, there were only two or three thousand soldiers gathered, some with bows and arrows, some with eight oxen crossbows, it was a mess.
When the whirlwind battalion launched an attack, the Youyan cavalry, led by Xiao Tianyang and Xiao Tianhao, finally arrived, and they also saw a scene that they will never forget.
The first wave of cavalry rushed up with strange screams, and with the help of horsepower, they swung the heavy weapons in their hands vigorously. These iron bones and sledgehammers hit the thin barracks with a whistling sound, making a rumbling noise. With a loud noise, a large barracks fence was broken in two by one blow. As the first wave of cavalry steered their horses and pulled away to both sides, the second wave of cavalry rushed over, and the grapples in their hands flew out and were placed on the barracks. , With the shouts of the soldiers, sections of the barracks were uprooted.
The camp fence, which was still extremely solid just now, was opened up a space of several hundred meters in an instant.As the second group of cavalry rushed away, the first-grade bows in the hands of the cavalry on the two wings drew back the bow strings, and the arrows that rained concentratedly shot into the space of hundreds of meters, screaming one after another.

"Dingzhou Army, advance!" Jiang Kui's excited eyes lit up, and the steel gun in his hand danced like a windmill, and he rushed towards this blank space.

"Dingzhou Army, Wansheng!" Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed in frantically, and the whirlwind battalion pierced through the opponent's camp with just one assault. Xiao Tianyang and Xiao Tianhao stared blankly at the whirlwind that poured into the opponent's camp battalion, "Is this the invincible Dingzhou iron cavalry?" They imagined that the Changzhou army would not be able to withstand the cavalry's impact, but they never imagined that the whirlwind battalion would be as light as a red-hot iron poking into a piece of tofu. It is easy to beat the opponent into chaos in an instant.
"My God, this, this is too simple, isn't it?" Xiao Tianyang sighed.Suddenly, his expression changed, "You Yan Erlang, kill!" Raising his horse, he led the charge, and the cavalry rushed into the opponent's camp, and a massacre would follow.

too easy!Jiang Kui was also sighing, but this made him even more happy, the weaker the enemy, the happier he was, wouldn't it be more fun to kill!He leaped his horse with his gun, aimed at the Chinese army's flag fluttering in the flames, and rushed over.

Stretching the horse, the horse stood up with a long neighing sound, and half-spun in the air. Jiang Kui drew out his saber, exhausted all his strength, raised his arms, twisted his waist, and slashed down fiercely. The flagpole came crashing down.

In Pingzhou City, Qu Yongjie and Zhou Tong received a big defeat from Xiangping, the 20 army collapsed, and the Dingzhou Army under the command of Yang Yidao entered Luoyang

The news from the suburbs was like mourning, and the 20 army was gone.
"Retreat, retreat back to Luoyang, outside Luoyang city, rely on Luoyang's solid city defense, and fight the final decisive battle with the opponent!" Qu Yongjie only recovered from the blow after a long while. "Over Minzhou, Chen Zeyue has already occupied Donglin. I don't think Zhang Aimin can last long. Once Minzhou falls, we will not be able to go back even if we want to."

Zhou Tong nodded, "Going back, I can only go back to Luoyang, General Qu, you take the main force back to Luoyang, inform Zhang Aimin, let the Minzhou army also withdraw to Luoyang, so that we can gather hundreds of thousands of troops in Luoyang .”

"You take the main force back!" Qu Yongjie sighed: "As a great general who always knows the world's military affairs, I have let the war collapse into such a situation. I really owe Your Majesty's kindness. I don't have the face to go back to Luoyang Alright, I will bring [-] troops here to block Lu Dalin and Tian Feng, and buy time for you and Zhang Aimin to retreat."

"No, General Qu, you are the pillar of the country. Only when you go back can you integrate all the troops and let Zhang Aimin and other state generals bow their heads and ears. I, without this ability, Zhang Aimin will not listen to me, and the generals in Luoyang will not listen to me." You won't listen to me, I'll stop here." Zhou Tong said decisively.
"Do you want to disobey my order?" Qu Yongjie shouted.
Zhou Tong stared into Qu Yongjie's eyes and knelt down on one knee, "General Qu please put the state affairs first and personal ones first. This time, please forgive me. I will not obey orders. I will not leave Pingzhou. I will fight here till the end." Last moment."

Qu Yongjie bit his lip, the muscles on his face twitched, and he strongly restrained the tears in his eyes. As if he was leading the main force to leave, Zhou Tong who stayed behind in Pingzhou was unreasonable. With Zhou Tong's personality, his fate was self-evident.

"Brother Zhou!" Qu Yongjie took a step forward, knelt down in front of Zhou Tong, stretched out his hand, and held Zhou Tong's big hand, "You, you..."

Zhou Tong said with a smile: "Loyal bones are buried everywhere in Qingshan, General Qu, let's say goodbye!"
