The king behind the empress

Chapter 418 Victory in the First Battle
Because Situ Yao had already guessed that Yang Yanzhang would send troops to attack the camp, so they discussed the countermeasures before.

So after hearing Situ Yao's question, Hu Yudong took a step forward and said with some pride, "Don't worry, leader, I will let him know today that Yang Yanzhang is not the only one who has cavalry in this Great Zhou."

"It's only five thousand cavalry. If he is sensible today, he can bring back some remnants of the defeated generals. If he is not, I will let him stay with the entire cavalry battalion."

Seeing Hu Yudong's complacent look, Situ Yao couldn't help but frowned. The Red Flame Dragonrider has won countless battles in a row, and Hu Yudong still dares to look down on him at this moment. Could it be that he really doesn't know how to write the word "death"?

Although Situ Yao doesn't care about Hu Yudong's life and death, the cavalry in Hu Yudong's hands is indeed an extremely important chess piece for him, not to mention that this is their first stop in Guangling City. If they can win, this battle will be good Hit too much.

So he couldn't help reminding Hu Yudong: "Patriarch Hu, the Chiyan Dragonriders are the most elite troops in the imperial court. King Yu and my student are almost all in their hands. This battle must not be careless. "

"Leader, don't worry, Hu knows it well."

Hu Yudong said that he knew what he knew, but he still had that haughty expression on his face. Obviously he didn't listen to Situ Yao's words, but seeing Situ Yao's ugly face, he still opened his mouth to explain, "Yang Yanzhang this time Only the heavy cavalry came out of the city, and I have light cavalry under my command, and light cavalry can restrain heavy cavalry, not to mention that he only has 5000 heavy cavalry, but I have 3 light cavalry."

"Restraint in arms combined with numerical superiority, what will he use to fight me?"

On the battlefield, the saying that light cavalry beats heavy cavalry does exist. After all, light cavalry is fast and heavy cavalry is slow, so light cavalry can easily kite heavy cavalry to death with bows and arrows.

It's just that this kind of situation is rare. After all, there is no commander who is stupid enough to let the heavy cavalry fight alone. Usually, they will be matched with a large number of other troops. When they create a good opportunity to fight, the heavy cavalry will make a final move. .

Hu Yudong looked around at the patriarchs of the aristocratic families, and he was obviously very proud of his own cavalry, and during this discussion, he offered to fight the first battle, but he actually had his own calculations involved.

After all, his cavalry is not good at siege, and he didn't bring many infantry, so he won this first battle. If he can win, he can use this as an excuse not to fight in the next siege. Participated, so that you can preserve your own strength to the greatest extent.

Although the rest of the patriarchs also had this plan in mind, they suffered from the fact that they did not have cavalry in their hands, so they could not face Yang Yanzhang's heavy cavalry head-on, so they could only look at Hu Yudong, who looked like a villain, with a little jealousy.

Hu Yudong looked at the envy and hatred in their eyes, and he was very proud, "Everyone, wait again, Hu will send troops now."

"Today, Hu will definitely teach Yang Yanzhang how to use cavalry!"

After finishing speaking, Hu Yudong walked out in a hurry without waiting for Situ Yao to persuade him again.

Seeing the figure of Hu Yaodong walking out, Situ Yao's face was a little gloomy, but he didn't say anything, but called Bai Changqiu over, and said in a low voice: "Go and inform your brother, tell him to let him put the front Push forward a little bit, if there is any accident, let him help Hu Yudong break the back."

"Is the teacher worrying too much?"

Hearing what Situ Yao said, Bai Changqiu couldn't help being a little surprised, and asked in a low voice: "Light cavalry versus heavy cavalry, as long as Patriarch Hu isn't stupid enough to go head-to-head with the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry, even if you really can't beat it, there won't be any danger. There is no need to let the senior brother take action."

"It's all about being prepared."

Situ Yao shook his head and didn't say much. Although what Bai Changqiu said made sense, he was always worried. If the Chiyan Dragonrider was really easy to deal with, King Yu and Hu Ming would not have lost. so miserable.

……

After Yang Yanzhang left the city, he did not rush to charge, but walked slowly towards Situ Yao's camp at the speed of the red-blooded dragon cong.

They went out of the city to attack, but it was not a surprise attack, so he deliberately gave Situ Yao enough time to react, just to see how Situ Yao was going to deal with him.

And when they were slowly marching forward, the generals under Hu Yudong also brought out the [-] light cavalry that had been assembled in advance.

"Hussars?"

Looking at Hu Yudong's [-] light cavalry, Yang Yanzhang couldn't help laughing, "Do you want to bully me for slow cavalry? It's a wise choice."

"However, my Scarlet Flame Dragon Knight is not an ordinary heavy cavalry. The last thing we are afraid of is the competition of speed."

Now that Situ Yao's method had been revealed, Yang Yanzhang stopped waiting and began to increase his speed slowly. However, because he was worried about scaring the heavy cavalry on the opposite side, the speed of the Red Flame Dragon Rider did not increase much.

If the Scarlet Flame Dragonrider was pacing slowly just now, it was jogging now.

However, in the eyes of the general of Hu Yudong's cavalry, he felt that the speed of the Chiyan Dragon Cavalry should be at full speed.

After all, carrying such a heavy armor and not putting the horse on the ground already shows that the horse is good, and how fast you want to run is simply unrealistic.

"Hmph, Scarlet Flame Dragonrider, just an iron turtle."

The general of Hu Yudong's cavalry is called Hu Bin, and he is Hu Yudong's nephew. His personality is not much different from Hu Yudong's.

However, as the commander of this cavalry, he is entitled to be proud most of the time. After all, he has never encountered any decent opponents in the past. It's natural to be proud.

At this moment, he looked at the Red Flame Dragonrider opposite him who was as fast as a turtle, and he felt contempt in his heart.

In his opinion, apart from the more troublesome armor, the Chiyan Dragonriders are not worth mentioning at all. He has [-] light cavalry, and he can drown them with a rain of arrows.

"Pass down the order to divide the cavalry into two teams and outflank them from both sides."

Hu Bin rode on the horse and said to his herald: "Tell them, you must keep a stone's throw away from this cavalry. Whoever dares to go in greedy for merit will be caught by the opposite cavalry. I will kill you!" his head."

Because of his contempt, Hu Bin directly gave up the temptation and chose to let the whole army press on. Anyway, in his opinion, the heavy cavalry of the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry can't catch up with his light cavalry. He just needs to keep his distance and shoot to death They'll be fine.

"Here."

The herald responded and quickly passed the order down.

Soon, the light cavalry of 3 people was directly divided into two groups, one circled to the left side of the Red Flame Dragon Knight, and the other circled to the right side of the Red Flame Dragon Knight. The dragon riders surrounded the entire area.

"Huh? Just press the army up?"

Yang Yanzhang looked at the light cavalry encircling him from left and right, and couldn't help but feel a little weird. Just now he was thinking, if this cavalry made a tentative attack, he should let the red flame dragon ride pretend to be weaker, so as to attract the enemy. The whole army is dispatched.

Unexpectedly, this step was omitted, and the opponent didn't even try to test, and the whole army directly pressed on.

"You're so kind, you gave me such a big gift when you first came here."

Yang Yanzhang showed an excited smile on his face, looked at Shuai Qi opposite, and said in a low voice: "If that's the case, then I won't be polite."

"Xin Yan, Geng Qi."

"The end is here!"

Hearing Yang Yanzhang's order, Xin Yan and Geng Qi immediately clamped the horse's belly lightly, and stepped forward to obey the order.

"The two of you take three thousand red flame dragonriders to defeat the enemy army on the left."

Speaking of this, Yang Yanzhang glanced at the two of them, and continued to speak: "There is no need to hold back in this battle. We will directly defeat all the enemy troops. Today I will keep all the [-] cavalry here."

"Here!"

Geng Qi and Xin Yan responded, and directly led 3000 people to separate from the main force, and then went straight to the enemy army on the left.

After they left, Yang Yanzhang was not idle either. He glanced back at the soldiers under his command and said in a deep voice, "Follow me to kill, this battle must kill the enemy!"

"Here!!!"

Following the uniform shouts of the Red Flame Dragon Riders, the Red Blood Dragon Cong under Yang Yanzhang's crotch quickly increased its speed and went straight to the light cavalry on the right.

The Scarlet Blood Dragon Cong speeded up extremely fast, and in just a moment, the Scarlet Flame Dragonrider, who seemed a little slow at first, became swift and lightning in an instant.

When Hu Bin saw the soaring Chiyan Dragonrider, he was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse. It was as if he saw a slow tortoise on the road, and in the blink of an eye, the tortoise ran away. It was actually faster than a rabbit. This kind of unreasonable situation directly made Hu Bin look stupid.

However, as the commander-in-chief of the first army, his psychological quality is still fine, so after staying for a while, he immediately came back to his senses.

"Could it be that those armors are fake, not made of metal, but made of wood. They were made like this just to confuse others, so they can run so fast?"

When Hu Bin came back to his senses, this guess was the first thing that popped up in his mind, but now he didn't have time to think about his own guess, right? Just now, in order to surround the Red Flame Dragon Knight, his cavalry had rushed to Near the Red Flame Dragon Knight.

Looking at the speed of the Chiyan Dragonrider at this moment, it would be impossible to just turn around and run, so he resolutely gave up the kite tactic, and ordered: "Fire the arrows and shoot them to death!"

The Scarlet Flame Dragonrider ran so fast, it must not be metal armor, so after this wave of arrow rain, many soldiers of the Red Flame Dragonrider would definitely be shot to death.

And if you can't shoot... no, there is no if!
Hu Bin interrupted his thinking in an instant. There is no if in this matter. If there is a real if, then I am afraid that all the [-] cavalry will have to be accounted for here.

"Whoosh ... whoosh ... whoosh ..."

While Hu Bin was staring nervously at the Red Flame Dragon Rider, the light cavalry who had just been prepared directly shot out the arrows in their hands. Tens of thousands of arrows with the sound of breaking wind fell towards the Red Flame Dragon like raindrops. The ride fell down.

However, after the arrows fell, their results were more like raindrops than their appearance.

Tens of thousands of arrows hit the armor of the Red Flame Dragon Knight one after another, and then were bounced aside. After the Red Flame Dragon Knight rushed through the rain of arrows, the ground was full of arrows, but two thousand Red Flame Dragon Knights, But there wasn't even a single injured person, let alone killed in battle.

It seemed that the tens of thousands of bows and arrows just now were like raindrops to them.

"how can that be!!!"

Like those who have seen the defensive ability of black armor, Hu Bin was also frightened at this time. After a wave of arrows, the enemy army was unscathed. How can we fight?
"Change from projectile to flat shot, don't shoot people, aim at their horses!"

Hu Bin bit it, and then quickly issued a second order. With the strength of his soldiers, the power of the flat shot is much greater than that of the projectile. However, because of the crowd, only the first two rows can shoot the flat shot, so the projectile is usually shot Will use more.

It's just that the projectile has no effect now, so he had to change the projectile to a flat shot.

After giving this order, he immediately said again: "The third battalion and the fifth battalion stayed behind to hold them back, and the rest of the front team changed to the rear team and evacuated towards the main camp."

This battle was impossible to fight, even if the flat shot was effective, the damage it could cause was very limited, so Hu Bin did not hesitate at all, and after the two battalions were left behind, he immediately led his army to flee towards the big camp in a hurry.

"Ding... ding... ding..."

The arrows fired flatly hit the armor of the Scarlet Blood Dragon Cong, making a pleasant metal knocking sound, but it still did not bring any effect, even if there were occasional arrows that hit the Scarlet Blood Dragon Cong without armor protection. The horse's legs would also be bounced off by their scales, and none of them could break through the defense of the Scarlet Blood Dragon Cong.

As for the distance of an arrow, they only had time to draw their bows twice, and the Scarlet Flame Dragon Knight was already in front of them.

"kill!"

As soon as Yang Yanzhang raised his hand, the Cunyan Spear was directly drawn towards him, and with his loud shout, a general in front of him was directly divided into two halves by him.

With the rain of blood spraying all over the sky, this killing finally kicked off. All the knights of the Red Flame Dragon who were in the marrow washing state were not much worse than Yang Yanzhang in terms of momentum when they shot. All those standing in front of them The soldiers were all shot in half.

The [-] light cavalry left behind by Hu Bin couldn't stop them for even a moment, and they were directly killed by the red flame dragon cavalry.

After defeating the two battalions in Duanhou, Yang Yanzhang charged at Hu Bin without any hesitation.

It's all here, why go, let's save our lives.

Looking at the two battalions that were defeated in an instant, Hu Bin was so frightened that he couldn't care less about his own army in order to survive.

"Block, block them!"

Hu Bin kept giving orders, but he himself took the spurs and stabbed the horse's ass fiercely. Under the pain, the horse under his crotch burst out with all its potential and ran towards the camp.

It's just that compared to the speed of the Red Dragon Cong, the speed of the steed under his crotch is not enough even if its potential explodes, and those light cavalry who could have stopped the Red Flame Dragon Knight ran away first when they saw Hu Bin , They will not follow Hu Bin's order to stay and die.

So these cavalry all dispersed, and no one went to stop Yang Yanzhang and the others.

"Oh, the rabble."

Yang Yanzhang sneered, and then slammed the horse's belly, and the red-blooded dragon under his crotch sped up instantly, and caught up to the well-armored Hu Bin in just a moment.

Hu Bin, who had been paying attention to Yang Yanzhang for a long time, saw Yang Yanzhang approaching, turned around suddenly, and stabbed Yang Yanzhang's face fiercely with the spear in his hand.

"Crack~"

Yang Yanzhang, who was suddenly attacked, didn't panic in the slightest, and directly reached out and grabbed Hu Bin's spear, allowing him to blush, but he couldn't shake the spear held by Yang Yanzhang.

After pulling hard twice, Hu Bin looked at Yang Yanzhang's motionless left hand, as if he understood that he was doing useless work, and immediately wanted to let go of the spear in his hand.

But just as he let go, Yang Yanzhang's spear had already pierced through.

"Pfft~"

With a muffled sound, Hu Bin was directly shot through the throat, and then Yang Yanzhang's spear shook slightly, and Hu Bin's head flew up directly, and then hung on his inch-long spear.
