Chapter 917: Cloud Surge (4)

When Chen Changping was engaged in a fierce battle with the right flank of the Liang army at Huang Fenghua, the main cavalry force led by Liu Chenglin and the main cavalry force of the Liang army led by Wuliushu and Xu Chong also collided head-on.

Unlike Huang Fenghua's battle that was gradually approaching, here in Wuliushu, as soon as the two cavalry met, they invariably invested all their main forces.

Xu Chong's 20,000 cavalry, against Liu Chenglin's 10,000 cavalry.

Two against one!

The 10,000 infantry gathered together, the visual impact on people is not too strong, but when the 10,000 cavalry gather together, as far as the field of vision can reach, there will hardly be anything else, only that the heaven and the earth seem to be stuffed with the figure of the prancing horse sprinting.

And here, there are 30,000 cavalry.

Life is not worth mentioning here, just like a mustard, every time a weapon collides, every time a war horse staggers by, there will be a brave soldier who falls.

Liu Chenglin did not pay attention to the main battlefield, he has always had a very strong confidence in his subordinates, and he has never doubted the victory of every battle, even if the number of opponents is now twice as many as his own.

He believes that his generals can change their battle form according to the situation on the battlefield, and can keenly grasp any possible fighter plane, and turn opportunity into victory.

There is only one person he pays attention to, and that is the top general of the enemy army, Xu Chong.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, a personal soldier next to him immediately handed over a monocular, opened it with a snap, and Liu Chenglin held it up in front of him, and the blurred scene in the distance became clear immediately.

On a high ground, a tall general rode on a war horse with an unusual horse.

Slowly turning the ruler on the monoculars, Liu Chenglin aimed at the face of the person opposite. The man was staring intently at the fierce battle in front of him, but the look on his face was a little uncertain.

Liu Chenglin laughed silently.

Just by looking at the look of his opponent, he knew that his subordinates at least did not suffer losses.

Suddenly, Liu Chenglin was in the telescope and saw that the man Huo Ran raised his head, his eyes looked through the wide battlefield, and looked at himself.

The distance was very far, and Liu Chenglin was sure that the other party could only see a vague shadow of himself at most.

"That's a good opponent!" Liu Chenglin smiled.

The other party's intuition is very good, from such a distance, he can also feel that someone is peeping at him, this is a clever warrior, a veteran of the battlefield who has died in a hundred battles, an indescribable feeling.

Because Liu Chenglin himself has such an intuition. Whenever danger approached him, he would stand on end with cold hairs all over his body, and subconsciously raise his vigilance.

"Cheng Yong, you can also take a look." Liu Chenglin handed the monocular in his hand to a general beside him. This person stood beside Liu Chenglin, and the armor style was obviously different from the right Xiaowei, and what was even more eye-catching was the slightly hideous wolf head on this person's helmet.

Chengde wolf rides.

There has never been more than 100 Chengde wolves to ride.

Tu Lichun was born in Chengde Wolf Rider, Min Rou was born in Chengde Wolf Rider, but the one in front of him is the new leader of the Wolf Rider since Min Rou left.

Cheng Yong took the monocular and looked in the direction of Xu Chong, at this moment, Xu Chong seemed to feel more obvious, he was actually laughing, smiling in their direction, and at the same time stretched out his hand and made a gesture of cutting his neck.

Cheng Yong laughed and threw the monocular in his hand to Liu Chenglin's personal soldiers.

"It's a good opponent indeed." He said: "Xu Fu really gave up his old book this time, and even sent his personal guard Lei Qi. ”

Xu Fu's thunder ride, Liu Chenglin naturally knows it. Like the Chengde wolf cavalry, it is also an elite cavalry with a distinct combat style. Once upon a time, he also wanted to form a cavalry of his own, but in the end, he was dissuaded.

Because the Tang army was under the leadership of Li Ze, a clear sign was that Li Ze was trying his best to eliminate his own unique influence exerted by the generals in the army. The frequent transfer of officers, the retirement system of soldiers, and the fact that each guard no longer has the power to recruit soldiers independently have all made the personal influence of the guard generals on one side gradually decrease.

In short, it is to change someone to be a general, and the combat effectiveness of this guard army will not be reduced because of the change of generals. Because the combat effectiveness of the entire guard army is not built on the body of high-ranking generals, but on one grassroots general after another.

And a general who wants to establish an army with his own independent characteristics, which is not allowed in the system of the Tang Army, will be regarded as wanting to establish his own forces, and Liu Chenglin's more special identity than ordinary people makes him unable to manipulate this matter.

For this reason, Liu Chenglin regretted it very much.

"How is the Thunder Rider compared to the Chengde Wolf Rider?" Liu Chenglin looked at Cheng Yong with some expression.

"Xu Fulei has a thousand riders, and Chengde Wolf has only a hundred." Cheng Yong simply gave an answer, without directly saying who is strong and who is weak, but the meaning inside is self-evident. There is no shortage of people in Chengde, and there is no shortage of excellent cavalry, and becoming a Chengde wolf cavalry is the highest ideal of all Northland cavalry. But sometimes there is no more than one person a year who can achieve this ideal.

In the era of Li Ze, the combat effectiveness of Chengde wolf riding has climbed a lot.

First, because of the rapid development of smelting technology, their armor is getting lighter and lighter, but the protective performance is getting better and better, and for the Chengde wolf rider who even wears armor on war horses, the reduction in weight brings about the continuous increase in their combat ability. And their horse chopping knives, each one, are all tempered by the best craftsmen, and their cost even exceeds that of Datang's Mo knife.

Second, it is because Li Ze has introduced a new competition mechanism. Every year, the cavalry who is interested in the Chengde wolf cavalry has the opportunity to launch a challenge to the current Chengde wolf cavalry. The winners stay, and the losers are eliminated. This made the current Chengde wolf rider sense of crisis suddenly strengthened, although there are not many successful challengers at present, but in the past few years, there are still eleven people who have successfully replaced the original members.

Liu Chenglin once intuitively commented on the Chengde wolf cavalry, if he led a thousand cavalry to attack a hundred Chengde wolf cavalry, then, in the end, he may be able to win, but at the cost of a thousand cavalry annihilation.

"The two sides are starting to stalemate!" Cheng Yong beside him suddenly spoke, interrupting Liu Chenglin's thoughts, he glanced at the battlefield, the black torrent and the earthy brown torrent have been strangled together, you have me, I have you. For a while, it was difficult for anyone to gain the upper hand.

"After half an hour, we can take the advantage of Xiao Fanne!" Liu Chenglin Road.

Cheng Yong nodded: "This is due to the advantages of our war horses, the advantages of equipment, and the higher combat quality and coordination skills of the soldiers." The more time passes, the greater our advantage. This advantage will slowly accumulate little by little into a winning momentum. And this is not something that the opponent's numerical advantage can compensate. ”

If there is not much difference in the combat effectiveness of the two sides, one of them has two people and the other side has only one person, basically, one person's side can only be abused. But if it's ten against five, one side of ten will win, but at the cost. If it's a thousand against a hundred, the price paid will be even greater. But when it comes to the magnitude of 10,000 people, the factors affected will increase suddenly, 20,000 and 10,000 people face each other, it seems that one side has an absolute advantage in numbers, but the victory will not be so simply attributed to the side with more people.

"Xu Chong is an experienced general, at most half an hour, he will find that the balance on the battlefield will tilt in our favor, at this time, what do you think he will do?" Liu Chenglin asked with a smile.

"Don't ask, with a thousand thunder horses in his hand, of course, he is directly taking the opponent's Chinese army, and among the ten thousand troops, he will take the head of the general. Thus reversing the disadvantage in one fell swoop. Cheng Yong smiled: "Because we are riding wolves, we often do this." ”

Liu Chenglin laughed, "I'm really looking forward to this moment, Chengde wolf rides a hundred horses, plus me, one hundred and one rides, can you take that Xu Chong's head among the thousands of thunder horses?" ”

"Naturally!" Cheng Yong stretched out his hand and patted the war horse beside him, "I'm also looking forward to that moment." ”

The two stretched out their fists and bumped hard.

At this moment, on this high ground, there are actually one hundred and two horses. Because the other one is Liu Chenglin's personal soldier and his flag bearer.

As time passed, the scope of cavalry operations was getting bigger and bigger, and the farthest, even if Liu Chenglin was holding a telescope, he could only see an approximate one. But as Cheng Yong predicted, the advantage was shifting towards the right Xiao Guard cavalry little by little. On the battlefield, it is rare to see a lone black-armored cavalry, the least black-armored cavalry group, at least a hundred or so, and the earthy brown cavalry of the Liang army seems to be more scattered, more than a thousand horses, but few, only a few horses, dozens of horses, and these small number of cavalry, in the next moment, will disappear on the battlefield.

"Xu Chong is coming!" Liu Chenglin raised the binoculars and looked in the direction where Xu Chong was, in the middle of the gods, the cavalry of the other party had already turned over and began to sort out their weapons. "But they look a little poor, their war horses are just wearing a little leather armor to cover their belly."

Listening to Liu Chenglin's ridiculous words, Cheng Yong laughed hesitantly.

As Cheng Yong raised his hand, ninety-nine Cheng De wolf riders sitting on the ground stood up and began to make final preparations before the battle.

Xu Chong's 1,000 thunder horsemen entered the battlefield and came straight in the direction of Liu Chenglin.

Liu Chenglin stepped onto the war horse.

Chengde wolf rode and turned over on the war horse.

With a bang, they pulled down their masks, and the hideous wolf heads came to life, and the air above the high ground seemed to get a little colder.

"Chengde wolf rides, open the way for the general!" Cheng Yong's voice came from behind the visor.

"There is labor!" Liu Chenglin reached out and pulled out the cyan spear stuck in the ground.

One hundred and one rides, trotting along.

On the high ground, only the last flag-bearer remained, holding the willow-shaped banner high.
