Chapter 510: You can only fight with the wind
Zeng Rong was experienced, and when he looked up, he knew that the other party had at least hundreds of artillery pieces. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and the opponent's artillery was fired from a few miles away, which was no less powerful than the Hongyi cannon of the imperial court, and it was obviously not an ordinary earthen cannon.
The 7,000 cavalry was an indestructible sword, but after being bombarded by artillery, more than 700 people died. Many of the cavalry panicked, their formations loosely scattered, and there was no advantage in charging.
At this time, Excellence gave the order to stop the shelling, and the cavalry battalion began to accelerate the charge.
The two sides were still half a mile apart, and the cavalry battalions were getting faster and faster, and finally they collided together.
The pikemen in front of him lifted the enemy from their horses, then threw their spears, drew their swords, and began to fight. When the cavalry of both sides converged, long weapons did not fit, and all the cavalry slashed with knives.
The world will use the Yanling knife, and the court cavalry will use the horizontal knife.
"The cavalry fight is really tragic." Ji Yang said expressionlessly.
"They lost, and the formation was blown up by artillery first, and our cavalry was waiting for work." Excellence sneered.
Zeng Rong was furious, his 7,000 elite cavalry was actually chiseled through by a group of stragglers! The court cavalry was divided and slaughtered, Zeng Rong hurriedly shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic, kill me!" ”
He was in the ninefold realm, and everyone heard it, and he was worthy of being the elite cavalry of the imperial court, and after reacting, he gradually stabilized, and in turn fought with the cavalry of the world. The number of cavalry in the world is small, and the quality is low, and after the other party reacted, he gradually fell behind.
"Damn, don't retreat like this!" Excellence is also furious.
Before the imperial cavalry reacted, at least more than a thousand people died, and the morale of the army was shaken. As a result, Zeng Rong disregarded the casualties, forcibly confronted, and relied on the elite and large number of his subordinates to turn the situation around.
The leader of the cavalry battalion of the Tianxia Society also drank loudly, but the effect was not great, and although his subordinates were not scattered, they were not determined. To put it bluntly, this cavalry is compared with the national army back then, and can only fight against the wind, not against the wind.
After fighting three incense sticks in a row, Zeng Rong finally led the troops to retreat.
But it was not that he was defeated by the cavalry of the Tianxiahui, but Zeng Rong did not want to consume too many cavalry here, and after repelling the cavalry of the Tianxiahui, he led the remaining more than 5,000 cavalry to retreat. Half of the attrition of the imperial cavalry was made by artillery. The cavalry battalion of the Tianxiahui lost more than 800 people, although there were not as many casualties as the other side, but it was a failure to fight like this under the advantage!
"Waste." Excellence said with a cold face.
The head was next to him, and he was supposed to fight a beautiful battle, but it turned out to be so ugly that the excellence was ashamed of the cavalry battalion. But the leader of the cavalry battalion is the same as him in the ninefold realm, and he is not good enough to directly step forward and reprimand.
At this time, the Tianxia Association did not divide the official positions too carefully, and the leaders of each department were all based on martial arts to evaluate the official rank.
"No matter what, at least the cavalry of the imperial court has been repulsed, and I believe that after the other party goes back, Xiaozhi will definitely send a large army to press over." Ji Yang's face was expressionless, and he couldn't tell if he was satisfied with this battle.
However, Excellence knew that Ji Yang's expressionless face was mostly dissatisfied. Before, Ji Yang led the army to attack the Infinite Divine Palace, and whenever he fought a good battle, he would encourage it, or say hello.
"If the enemy is completely overwhelmed, I will use all the artillery and make him walk around without food." Excellence said.
"It's up to you." Ji Yang turned around and left.

"General, our army rushed to the front of the battle and was bombarded by more than 100 artillery pieces. The firing range, rate of fire, and power of the artillery were two points better than that of the Hongyi cannon, and it was hidden in the army and struck by projectile fire. Without making contact with the enemy, our army lost nearly 1,000 men, and the formation was scattered, only to be scuttled by the enemy cavalry. However, although the enemy's artillery was powerful, the discipline was very loose, and after a fierce battle, our army gained the upper hand again. ”
"The subordinates were worried that the losses would be too large, and the cavalry battalion was exhausted and surrounded by the other party, so they took the initiative to retreat." Zeng Rongyu reported.
"But Ben Shuai miscalculated, forgetting that the Xingzhu faction has a cannon foundry and is good at casting cannons. Our army was lightly armed and fast-forwarded, and only carried twenty-five Hongyi cannons, which was not easy to deal with. Li Rusong pondered.
"Otherwise, my subordinates were not prepared before, if there were infantry pressing the formation, I would divide the cavalry into three teams, and if the formation was loosely arranged, more than 100 artillery pieces would be useless. At that time, our cavalry battalion will enter the enemy formation, and the army will follow closely behind, and the world will be a group of local chickens and dogs, and they will inevitably scatter and flee. After Zeng Rong's first war, not only was he not afraid, but he was ambitious.
He thought to himself: I can turn things around if I fall to the bottom before, and when I am prepared, and the army is coordinated, the world will inevitably fall apart. His more than 5,000 cavalry were divided into three teams, each of which was more powerful than the remaining 2,100 cavalry.
"Well, that's a great idea." Li Rusong nodded, and then said: "If you don't rush hard, you will inevitably lose a lot, even if you win, the gains outweigh the losses, my goal is not to be 30,000 horses." I waited for tomorrow to call for battle, persuaded the enemy general to surrender, and gave him a day to think about it. Tomorrow night at five watches, launch an attack according to your plan, and see how his artillery aims before dawn. ”
"The general's clever plan, his subordinates will go back and prepare immediately." Zeng Rong's eyes lit up, and then he returned to the cavalry camp in a hurry to rectify the cavalry who had just finished the battle.
The next morning, 50,000 horses and horses of the imperial court pressed the border and stopped seven miles before the Tianxia meeting. Zeng Rong ordered a cavalryman to step forward and loudly announced: "Wait for the great rebels, General Li told me to tell you, and you are limited to surrender within one day." If not, our army of 50,000 horses will come and kill you without leaving a single piece of armor. ”
After saying that, the cavalryman turned around and ran, probably afraid of the artillery of the Tianxia Society.
Ji Yang and Zhuo Zhuo were still standing on the high mountain, and after hearing each other's declaration, Zhuo Zhuo said disdainfully: "Yesterday the enemy army returned with a tragic victory, and today we were persuaded to surrender, most of them were afraid and wanted to surrender without a fight." ”
"It's so insincere, I don't think it's like a sincere persuasion." Ji Yang said.
"What do you mean? There is fraud in it. Excellence thought for a moment, and thought: "He said that we should surrender within one day, and if there is fraud, it must be within this day." Tonight I told the people to prepare well, maybe the enemy will attack at night. ”
"You can do it yourself, and I don't know what the other party is doing." Ji Yang said.
If Ji Yang made a move in person, why not be afraid of 50,000 horses, this battle was just a game in his eyes. If he doesn't take this battle to heart, he naturally won't bother too much and let the excellent dispatch of troops.
Excellence doesn't know whether it is joy or bitterness, when Ji Yang came to watch the battle before, he was most afraid of this boss interfering. Now Ji Yang not only did not interfere, but looked like he didn't care, and Zhuo Zhuo was very depressed
