The last three kingdoms

Chapter 997 Cavalry

Liu Yin chuckled and said, "Who said that the city defense force was transferred to the Shangdang to aid in the war?"

"Then you..." Fu Qian couldn't help being very puzzled, the troops were not sent here to help in the battle, was it just for display?
Liu Yin said: "Taking Shangdang is just a search for something, and soon the army will go east to Jizhou. Doesn't Shangdang need troops to guard it?"

It was only at this time that Fu Qian suddenly realized that Liu Yin's intention of transferring the five thousand city defense troops to Shangdang was what he meant. Regarding the battle of Guan, Liu Yin did not expect Liu Yin to look further. He never regarded the Battle of Huguan as an important battle at all. He had already planned to enter Jizhou as soon as possible after taking Huguan.

It is not difficult to understand why Liu Yin hastily dispatched five thousand city defense troops to the party. After all, the mission of the field army is to attack the city, and the remaining tasks of sending troops to guard the city will be done by the city defense army. Liu Yin doesn't want to think about it because It is necessary to garrison the city and reduce the combat power of the main battle army.

"So that's how it is." Fu Qian laughed loudly, "Then how did you plan for tomorrow's battle?"

Liu Yin said: "Although Wen Yang suffered a defeat in Pingyang, he is still a mighty general, a centipede, dead but not stiff, Wen Yang will definitely fight a trapped beast, so this battle seems easy, But it is not easy to fight. Wenyang deployed cavalry troops outside the city to try to prevent us from attacking Huguan City. It seems that Wenyang is also very afraid of gunpowder. Only by defeating the cavalry troops of the Jin army can we reach Huguan directly Under the city."

"The most effective way to deal with cavalry is the sidecar. Is it still possible to use the sidecar formation this time?" Fu Qian said.

Liu Yin shook his head and said: "The side car array is more defensive, and it is not the most ideal for attacking. The most powerful weapon against cavalry is the cavalry. This time, the tiger cavalry will be the main attack. I would rather Let's see if the current cavalry of the Jin army still has the same dominance as the cavalry of the Wei state."

Fu Qian said with a smile: "It seems that Zhang Le is going to be disappointed again. This kid has held his strength and wants to take the lead."

Liu Yin also said with a smile: "Then let him hold back for a while, I will use him as a flying soldier to ensure that he can have a big meal."

In the early morning of the next day, when it was just dawn, the Shu army suddenly launched an attack on the Jin army's position.

Qi Hong was in charge of commanding the battle outside the city. The Shu army surrounded Huguan from the west and north, which made Qi Hong nervous. After all, the Jin army was outnumbered and their morale was low. Under such circumstances, Qi Hong did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Since the Shu army entered and occupied Tunliu, in order to prevent the possible sneak attack of the Shu army in the middle of the night, Qi Hong almost never closed his eyes for several nights, patrolling the camp all night.

After several days of tossing and tossing, Qi Hong was exhausted, but he did not dare to relax. As long as he was a little inattentive, he might be caught off guard by the Shu army. Sneak attack at night is the best way to defeat the enemy. The most famous generals are under the enemy's sneak attack. To put it bluntly, they are careless.

Qi Hong didn't dare to close his eyes at night, so he yawned all day long and was depressed during the day, but the Shu army hadn't moved at all these days, which made Qi Hong even more flustered. He didn't know when the enemy would attack the most. terrible enemy.

As usual, Qi Hong was sleepless that night. After staying up for a few days, his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes and dark circles, making Qi Hong look like a giant panda. Lieutenant General Zhang Chi saw Qi Hong working so hard, and persuaded: "General Qi, it seems The Shu army will not attack today, you should take a rest early, if you continue, you will be exhausted."

Qi Hong saw that the sky in the east had already turned pale, and it seemed that the Shu army hadn't moved at all that night. He nodded, ordered his lieutenant general Zhang Chi to watch carefully, and went back to the camp to lie down.

Qi Hong was really tired, he only took off his helmet, he didn't even take off his armor, and lay down on the couch with all his clothes on, just as he closed his eyes, the sound of snoring came from the tent.

In the dream, Qi Hong kept fighting with the Shu army. He rode on a horse, charging from left to right, slashing and killing all the way, but the Shu army kept rushing up, killing endlessly. Qi Hong's arms were sore from the killing, but looking at the Shu army in front of him, he still couldn't see the end at a glance, so he had no choice but to continue killing, so tired that his whole body collapsed...

Then, Qi Hong woke up and found that the underwear inside the armor was soaked. It was so fucking exhausting to have a dream. Qi Hong muttered something and was about to take off the armor when he heard the sound of rumbling war drums in his ears. Qi Hong felt a little confused when he was half asleep and half awake. Could it be that he was still awake in the dream?

At this time, the Chinese army came in panting, and said: "General Qi, the people of Shu...the people of Shu have launched an attack..."

Qi Hong gave a jolt, and this time he was completely awake. He immediately stood up and rushed out of the tent, forgetting to put on the helmet that was put aside.It was still the Zhongjun's eyesight, so he picked up his helmet and followed Qi Hong in three steps.

"Come on, prepare your horse!" Qi Hong yelled loudly as soon as he got out of the big tent, and the Chinese army quickly handed over the helmet.

Without saying a word, Qi Hong stretched out his hand to take the helmet and put it on his head. At this time, the groom had already brought Qi Hong's green horse over. , rushed to the west of the camp.

The sound of war drums and noise came from the west. There is no doubt that the Shu army launched the attack from the west. Qi Hong didn't care to inquire about the specific situation, and rushed to the battle center immediately. the forefront.

The attack of the Shu army was launched in the early morning. When the sun was rising, countless dust and smoke suddenly stirred up on the western horizon. The sound of horseshoes, this quiet morning, was completely broken by this noisy and noisy sound.

The Shu army did not send out infantry. This time, all the cavalry launched the attack. Tens of thousands of horses galloped down, like a flood that broke a dike, and the oncoming force was extremely fierce.

The lieutenant general Zhang Chi, who was in charge of guarding and patrolling the periphery, immediately led his troops to fight, but the soldiers and horses led by Zhang Chi were only a small number of patrolling troops, and it was difficult to withstand the full-line attack of the Shu army's tiger cavalry army. Retreating steadily, the offensive frenzy of the Shu army did not cause much delay due to Zhang Chi's blocking, and still rushed towards the Jin army's camp with a turbulent momentum.

At that time, most of the Jin soldiers had just got up and had not had time to eat breakfast. Everyone including Qi Hong was not prepared for the sudden attack of the Shu army.
