The speed of the cavalry of the Tongluo tribe was extremely fast, and more than 2,000 war horses rushed to the front of the rebel infantry in the blink of an eye. Although the number of 5,000 foot soldiers is quite a lot, but under the thunderous blow of the cavalry, there is some panic, this result is obviously in the expectation of Wu Hu Huaizhong, in his career of horse conquest, there have been countless times with a strong cavalry team of the enemy infantry attack, as long as the opponent's arrows are difficult to achieve the purpose of striking the momentum of the impact, all the foot soldiers in front of them can only be a fat sheep to be slaughtered.

Of course, there was only one exception to this, and that was the unity army led by Qin Jin in Xin'an, who used heavy crossbows to suppress them at a long distance, and used spears several zhang long to shake the impact of the cavalry. Although the soldiers in front of the spear formation died nine times in life, this way of fighting with their lives did make the cavalry of the Tongluo Department suffer an unprecedented setback.

It's a pity that the opponent's infantry army formation is not the Xin'an army led by Qin Jin, they don't have a few zhang of spears, although they are equipped with a lot of horse swords, but because they can't form an effective formation, their blocking effect is minimal

In an instant, the two cavalry slanted into the two wings of the 5,000-foot army formation from left and right, as if two sharp long knives had pierced the abdomen of a human body. At this point, the victory and defeat of the two armies have been divided, and Wuhu Huaizhong continued to urge the war horse to speed up, rush forward, and knock over one enemy soldier after another who stood in front of him.

Cavalry combat, if the infantry army formation to do the impact, the sharpest weapon is speed, only by virtue of the speed of the enemy through the formation, in order to completely disrupt the enemy's formation, once the formation is disrupted, the enemy's morale will suffer a heavy blow, often in this case, the vast majority of the soldiers will be scattered and flee.

What's more, the cavalry of the Tongluo Department attacked from the left and right flanks at the same time, which was equivalent to cutting it off in three sections, and the impact and effect of the blow caused by it increased exponentially.

The impact of Wuhu Huaizhong was fast enough that it was difficult for everyone to resist, and the rebels' 5,000-strong army formation fell into chaos without suspense. The two Tongluo cavalry passed through the formation at a very small cost of casualties, and after penetrating the formation, they rushed out of Lixu before he ordered to slow down and turn around.

But suddenly, Wu Hu Huaizhong subconsciously frowned, because the situation on the battlefield was not exactly according to his expectations, although the rebels were in chaos, they still tried to firmly nail the right bank of Beiluoshui, which made him hesitate a little unexpectedly.

Although Wu Hu Huaizhong was brave, he was not a reckless person, and the opponent's extraordinary will to fight made him feel that once the cavalry of the Tongluo tribe was held back in the chaos and lost the advantage of speed, there would be huge casualties. And the cavalry of the Tongluo Division, which was only 1,000 men at full strength, could not afford this kind of consumption? Moreover, this kind of consumption was meaningless to them.

At this time, he remembered Qin Jin's repeated advice when he divided the troops, he and the Tongluo cavalry were the vanguard of the army, and the task was not to destroy the enemy, but to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and clear the rangers, and the real hard bones must wait until the main force of the Shenwu Army arrived before cleaning up.

If a year ago, Wu Hu Huaizhong would not hesitate to refuse this timid order, but after a series of setbacks since Xin'an, the previous sharpness no longer exists. This is not necessarily a bad thing for him, and after losing his confidence that borders on recklessness, he can think rationally more often than not.

For example, in the current situation, Wu Hu Huaizhong understands that if he attacks the rebel army that has fallen into chaos again, the result is likely to be that the cavalry will gradually lose their horsepower, causing them to fall into the quagmire of the chaotic army and suffer unbearable losses.

In Wuhu Huaizhong's prediction, after two penetrations, the rebels would flee, and then they would follow behind and kill them, so that they could eat them all.

Now that this plan has failed, no matter how unwilling he is, he can only order a suspension of the attack.

……

"Captain, Hu Gou has withdrawn!

Captain Zhou Kuo's eyes were red, the combat effectiveness of this Hu cavalry was too strong, and he even defeated them with only a thousand people, and at the moment when he made up his mind to fight to the death, the other party actually withdrew with interest. While he was given a chance to breathe, he felt not a sense of happiness, but a fear from the depths of his heart.

"Where did these people come to Feng Yi from? Could it be that they have already broken through Tongguan?"

"How is it possible? There are dozens of passes on the left and right of Tongguan, large and small, and each one takes care of each other from end to end, how can it be easily broken? The captain thought too much. ”

One brigade leader thought that Zhou Kuo's idea was a bit too pessimistic, and if Hu Gou really broke through the Tongguan Pass, they would really be finished.

In fact, the pass in the east of Lishan is not a big pass in Tongguan, but a defense line composed of more than ten passes of various sizes, and this defense line extends from the east of the Yellow River to the vast Kushan Mountain in the south. It is not easy for the rebels to break through these large and small passes, and even if they break through one of the passes, it is better to follow Weishui all the way to attack the states and counties along the way than to Beiluoshui.

"No matter what, we have already made a military order to General Huangfu before we come, we must fight to the death on the right bank of Beiluoshui and not retreat, if we just escape, what face do we have to live in the world?"

"Hu Gou is interested, and knows that our bone is not easy to gnaw, and if they come again, let them taste the taste of broken front teeth. ”

Soon, after getting a chance to breathe, the chaotic foot soldiers regrouped again, waiting for the arrival of this big **. Anyone can see that the 1,000 Huhou cavalry is definitely not the evil protagonist they are waiting for, and the real opponent is still to come!

Suddenly, someone seemed to have come to an understanding.

"Captain, isn't the Hugou cavalry the vanguard of the Shenwu Army?"

Zhou Kuo hadn't thought about this idea, but as soon as someone put it forward, he immediately felt like a whole body, but then shook his head again.

Although a large number of Hu generals were also appointed in the imperial court, in the entire cavalry, all rushed into the Hu people, which was unprecedented, not to mention that the Shenwu Army was still one of the three armies of the Northern Ya, and it belonged to one of the forbidden armies to protect the safety of the Son of Heaven, which was even more impossible.

However, Zhou Kuo hopes that this speculation is true, and if it is not this possibility, then another possibility will be even more difficult to accept.

"Captain, look, there's ......"

A soldier pointed to the southwest, only to see the yellow sand rolling up at the horizon, obscuring the clouds.

Zhou Kuo's face was expressionless, but he sighed heavily in his chest.

The time has finally come, and judging from this scale alone, the army that has come should be at least about 10,000 people, and the time has finally come for more than 5,000 of them to seek mercy.

"Brothers, we have been waiting for a long time at this moment!"

……

Chen Qianli and Pei Jing stood side by side, and the army gradually dispersed behind them, fanning the small city outside Li Xu little by little.

This small city is small, but it is located between Feng Yicheng and Pujin.

"This plan is very clever for the king, first cut off the emperor's back road, and then force him to fight a decisive battle, so that the victory is even more promising. ”

Chen Qianli didn't know much about Qin Jin's plan, and now all he listened to was what Pei Jing had conveyed, but even if he didn't know the whole plan, he felt that such a roundabout flank attack would greatly increase the chance of victory, and he could annihilate the Huangfu Ke rebels while reducing casualties.

Pei Jing shook his head.

"When he set off, he only had four words to explain. ”

"What four words?"

Chen Qianli asked with a straightened and bulging stomach, his eyes were full of curiosity, it seemed that Qin Jin in the Xin'an period was back again, and every strange plan would receive unexpected results.

"Siege for reinforcements!"

"What's the explanation?"

Pei Jing raised his hand and pointed to the small city in front of him.

"Only surround the court, don't fight!"

Chen Qianli was greatly surprised, how different was this from playing with fire? If the main army of Huang Fu Ke and the reinforcements rushed from Chaoyi or Pujin should join forces with the outside world, wouldn't they be the ones who became the ones who became the fish on the board?

Although he had deep doubts about this, Pei Jing insisted on Qin and Jin's plan, and while besieging the city, an army of 10,000 sent no less than 5,000 men to start a large-scale siege.

Of course, this siege was only a thunderstorm and a small raindrop, and the resistance of the small city of Chaoyi was very limited, and if the besieging army used a little more force, it might fall in one go. It's a pity that at the critical moment, the battlefield will sound a rapid and clear sound of gold.

The training of the Longwu Army is from the same origin as the Shenwu Army, so it is also forbidden by order, although they are no longer unwilling, they can only withdraw in a hurry, and they give up the opportunity to break the city.

In one day, after the two feints "failed", the Long Wu Army caused a lot of shock, and they all thought that this was Pei Jing's deliberate suppression, and did not let him make a contribution to breaking the city, and they all hoped that Chen Qianli could make the decision for them and take the small city Chaoyi at their fingertips.

After Chen Qianli calmed the emotions of the army, he ran to question Pei Jing again.

"The emotions of the soldiers are already very unstable, and if we don't have a proper way to deal with it as soon as possible, I'm afraid I won't be able to calm down."

Pei Jing said: "No matter what, if you persist for another three days, there will definitely be good news from the envoy." ”

Chen Qianli pondered for a while, but still insisted: "If there is no news from the envoy after three days, it is better to directly take Chaoyi and then go straight to Chaoyi!"

"Can't Chen Changshi believe Pei, can't he still trust the envoy? How could the envoy have said empty words? As long as Huangfu Ke sends troops from Feng Yi to help, the envoy will definitely have a way to annihilate them?"

To be honest, Chen Qianli also felt that Qin Jin would not easily say empty words, but now he is no longer the assistant official in Xin'an, and he obeys Qin Jin's words. He had his own opinions and judgments, believing that although Qin Jin's strategy was very tricky, it was also too risky, and once a mistake occurred, it would cause irreparable losses to the 10,000 people of the Shenwu Army and the Longwu Army.
