Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 464

Boom, boom, boom!Three times in a row, and then the entire wall on the other side of the long street collapsed in the field of vision. The woman took out Li Yu's imperial decree from the eunuch's arms, opened it for a few glances, rubbed her hands together, and it turned into fly ash.

After Ye Chen and his party rushed out of the valley, because the [-] cavalry brought by Lian Jicheng wore Southern Tang military uniforms, and the speed of the cavalry was fast, and the escape route was planned two months ago, it was suitable for the cavalry to run. There is no Southern Tang garrison in the past.Therefore, the journey along the way was like no one's land. When the sky darkened, he had already run from Yizhou to the vicinity of Xinzhou, the southeast border state city of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Lou Yanming's two-handed preparation finally played a role, and Ye Chen's group of thousands of cavalry caused a lot of commotion. It is impossible to hide their whereabouts on other people's territory.Therefore, 5000 people were waiting here before Xinzhou had to cross a pass to go to the land of Wuyue.This is Guan Zhikuo, one of the four generals of the southeast frontier camp in the Southern Tang Dynasty.Guan Zhikuo is also the highest ranking general in Lou Yanming's army.

Although Guan Zhikuo's troops were not as powerful as Lin Renzhao's [-] troops in the north, they were still the most powerful army in the Southern Tang Army after the Northern Camp.Moreover, Guan Zhikuo is ambitious and good at training troops. His men and horses have been the main force in suppressing bandits in the Southern Tang Dynasty in the past few years.It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a strong army in the Southern Tang Kingdom.

The messenger sent by Lou Yanming did not conceal the truth about Guan Zhikuo, and directly stated that the person who came was Ye Chen, the auspicious king of Song who should have died.Although the messenger also told Guan Zhikuo how Lou Yanming led 5000 troops and 2 troops to encircle and suppress Ye Chen in front of him, and the result was that he was defeated. It was because of Ye Chen, a legendary figure in the world. He acted quickly as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and sent a large number of spies in the direction of Ye Chen, so that he could judge Ye Chen's route in advance, and thus sent [-] people under his command. Thousands of soldiers blocked in front of Ye Chen.

When Ye Chen led more than 100 people to the pass, the sun was setting and the moon was rising, the sky was already dark, and it was night.

At this time, Lou Yanming and Shangguan Bingyun had also arrived and entered Guan Zhikuo's army.

Under the leadership of Guan Zhikuo, Lou Yanming looked at the morale of the army, and found that Guan Zhikuo's troops really looked like a strong army, which was clearly different from the defeated troops he had mobilized in the previous two games. He solemnly said to Guan Zhikuo: "When dealing with Ye Chen, you must never underestimate the enemy."

Guan Zhikuo said vigorously: "Don't worry, the national teacher. The first two failures are not the responsibility of the national teacher. In fact, the national teacher mobilized the army. It is the weakest local army in Tang Dynasty. Not to mention the elites of the Huaxia Weifu under Ye Chen, even the last general A strong army under his command can also fight thousands of enemies. This time, the general will use 5000 troops to deal with the opponent's [-] cavalry. The teacher is waiting for the last general to tie Ye Chen to the national teacher."

Guan Zhikuo was talking, and far away, on the other side of the hill, a black shadow spread up with a little bit of fire.

It was the cavalry led by Ye Chen, composed of more than 100 elites of the Huaxia Weifu, rushing here in the night, with a little bit of fire, but after a while, the light spots stretched away, it was the cavalry galloping Among them, arrows wrapped in fire oil cloth were lit.

Guan Zhikuo's expression froze, and he shouted: "Fix the formation!"

The sound spread, and thousands of people under his command shouted in unison in front of the formation: "Formation..." This orderly sound shook the entire night sky in an instant, thousands of infantry crowded together in the field, The shields were raised, the spears were like forests, and the archers raised their longbows. Immediately afterwards, the second formation shouted in unison in the middle of the formation: "Find the formation" and then the third formation and the fourth formation
The overall quality of Guan Zhikuo's men and horses, compared to the poorness of many soldiers in the Southern Tang army, can indeed be regarded as elite soldiers available.At this time, it is not useless to boost the morale of the entire battle formation with this kind of orderly shouting during battle. After all, how much difference is there between the shouting of thousands of people and the shouting of tens of thousands of people? If you don’t have actual experience I have experienced it, and it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine it.

Thousands of people drinking in unison like this is enough to make people feel that these 5000 people will definitely work together and their morale is like a rainbow.Although Lou Yanming and Shangguan Bingyun didn't know soldiers, they didn't understand soldiers, but compared with the previous two times, they also compared the difference of the army around them one step closer.The confidence lost in the first two ridiculous failures could not help being filled again.

Arrows flew across the night sky like locusts.

There wasn't much mental preparation. After Ye Chen and his cavalry shot the rockets, they didn't intend to slow down in the face of the same rain of arrows. They just waved the weapons in their hands like the wind and knocked the incoming arrows into the air.In the front ranks of the Southern Tang army, the infantry had packed their horses tightly and squeezed into a large airtight area. On the side of the army formation, two thousand cavalry under Guan Zhikuo's command were also galloping and mobilizing.

Under normal circumstances, the cavalry on the battlefield faced an iron barrel-like defense. After the first round of archery, the cavalry's cavalry circled to the side, keeping a distance, and looking for fighters.But this night, nothing happened as expected.

An army formation of more than 1 people stretched forward, and a row of more than 100 cavalrymen rushed through the so-called "land of one arrow".Most of these cavalrymen wearing the uniforms of the local army of the Southern Tang Dynasty threw hooks at each other while galloping, and they quickly hung these hooks on their saddles, while the few cavalrymen who were shot by arrows had already been thrown In the rear of the brigade.

The distance between the two sides is already so close, there is no chance for both sides to shoot arrows.

Everyone pulled out their respective weapons such as steel knives and iron spears, shouted violently, and their eyes were flushed with blood. More than 1000 Huaxia Weifu elite cavalry, with a few cavalry or a dozen cavalry as an array, will fight each other Together, they rushed straight to the forefront of the Southern Tang army.

At this moment, no one can turn back.

Among the tactics of cavalry, the method of attacking around the side, conserving one's own strength, and seeking the opponent's flaws is called abducted horse. On the chess board, the setting of horses always abducting is probably derived from this.And when they really made up their minds to charge forward, the horses connected with each other, and the method of fully unfolding the momentum of dozens of horses was called chain horses.

Under such circumstances, even if there are people who are greedy for life and fear of death in the battle formation, or even horses who are greedy for life and fear of death, there is no possibility of retreating.
