Chapter 368: The First World War

The cavalry led by Pan Feng became the lifesaver for Zhang Zhongwu's main army.

After half a day of fierce fighting, Pan Feng's department was actually tired, especially when he was about to win a complete victory, but he encountered such an incredible reversal, for the soldiers, it was really like being splashed from the head to the soles of his feet by a basin of cold water in the cold winter wax moon.

Without any choice, Pan Feng gave up the last devouring of the food in front of him, and chose to lead the team to intercept the pursuing Wuwei cavalry, so as to give the main force a chance to regain its strength.

Cheng Xu escaped death, staring blankly at the Lu Long rout cavalry all over the mountains and the Wuwei cavalry roaring in the distance.

Min Rou gently pulled the reins of the horse, the war horse ran forward more than ten steps, stopped, almost at the same time, a hundred Chengde wolf horsemen neatly stopped behind him, the sharp arrow attack formation was not chaotic at all, between a few breaths, more than a thousand wolf cavalry led by Tu Lichun supplemented the cavalry, forming one offensive formation after another behind them.

The last to arrive was the cavalry of 3,000 guards led by Li Yutong.

Pan Feng took a deep breath, and gently stroked the neck of the war horse with his palm, and there was a layer of fine sweat on the horse's neck.

Leaning slightly, Pan Feng and Min Rou attacked almost at the same time.

Hundreds of Chengde wolves rode as arrows.

Tu Lichun's 1,000 cavalry was the second wave.

The three thousand relatives led by Li Mi were the third wave.

Lu Long's cavalry was not bad, otherwise, Zhang Zhongwu would not have been able to rely on them to suppress the Khitan tribe so that he could not raise his head at all, let him take what he wanted, and did not dare to have the slightest complaint.

But for Pan Feng, his troops had been fighting for half a day, and even if it was a round battle, they were now exhausted, while Wuwei's cavalry had been recuperating until the end before launching a fatal blow.

And Li Ze made his foot soldiers pay a huge price in order to do this.

In terms of physical strength and horsepower, the Wuwei cavalry had a big advantage over the Lu dragoons. This is one of them, and the second is that the famous name of the Chengde wolf ride is not a waste of fame, this hundred horses are selected from the best, and the best of the best are selected, and the Wuwei cavalry with them as arrows is like a treasure knife that sharpens iron like clay. The other 3,000 cavalry, whether it was the Chengde wolf cavalry supplementary cavalry originally trained by Tu Lichun, or Li Ze's personal guards, their overall quality was much higher than that of ordinary soldiers. Third, in terms of the equipment of the overall cavalry, the Wuwei cavalry is better, Li Ze has never been stingy with equipment, not to mention, these troops, like the Modao team, are his capital at the bottom of the box.

The collision of the two cavalry is not fancy, no one can take half a step back, and it is impossible to take half a step back, on one side is Min Rou to take the lead, and on the other side is Pan Feng to take the lead.

The two sides slammed into each other.

Min Rou's hand raised the knife and fell, the spear in Pan Feng's hand was broken into two, his body was slammed back, the blade wiped his face, and he sat up straight with his waist, Pan Feng had already pulled out the horizontal knife on the side of the saddle bridge, and a side slash had already chopped a Chengde wolf off the horse, but almost at the same time, another horse chopping knife fell, and Pan Feng's left shoulder armor immediately disappeared, and a large piece of skin and flesh was slashed off, and blood sprayed wildly. Pan Feng roared wildly, and the horizontal knife held the third horse chopping knife, and the blade slid down the blade, cutting off all the fingers of the Chengde wolf rider.

In just three swords, he has already passed by the Chengde wolf horse.

He is not Min Rou's opponent, but it is still more than enough for the average wolf rider, if it weren't for Chengde Wolf Rider's unique set of tactics, he wouldn't even be injured. No matter how powerful Min Rou is, he can only fight with him with one move, and he will stagger, and he knows this very well.

But he didn't expect that after rushing past the Chengde wolf ride, it was Tu Lichun who collided head-on.

Compared with Min Rou's prestige over the years, Tu Lichun's reputation is not obvious. When he was on the rise, he was assigned by Li Anguo to become Li Ze's personal bodyguard, and he was silent for ten years.

The current Tu Lichun, of course Pan Feng knows, but all he knows is that Tu Lichun is because he has taken care of Li Ze for ten years, and because of Li Ze's enlightenment, he ascended to heaven, and thus became the top general of Wuwei.

But what he didn't know was that before Tu Lichun left Chengde Wolf Ride, his ranking was before Min Rou and was cultivated by You Yong as his successor, and it was precisely because of Tu Lichun's departure that Min Rou had a chance to rise.

Pan Feng, who rushed past the Chengde wolf rider, breathed a sigh of relief, as Lu Long's top cavalry general, he did not take Tu Lichun in his eyes.

It cost him his life.

The lightning-fast chopping knife slashed down heavily, Pan Feng had a horizontal knife, but he never thought that Tu Lichun's knife was faster than Min Rou's knife, and it was heavier than he imagined, the two knives intersected, and under the splash of sparks, the horizontal knife was forced to press down, with a crisp click, Pan Feng's arm was broken like this, and the back of the knife slammed heavily on his breastplate, and there was another muffled sound, and in an instant, he felt that his breathing was uneven.

The bones are broken.

The two horses were staggered, and Tu Lichun's long chopping knife did not retract, but poked back, and a small spear tip above the handle of the chopping saber, with a pop, drilled into Pan Feng's back.

Tu Lichun shook his hand violently, did not look back, and ran straight forward with the horse chopping knife, while Pan Feng's head fell back suddenly, and the whole person froze on the horse, this spear was not deep, but it was in the critical place.

The sword light in front of him was shining, and another horse chopping knife came with a whistling sound, but Pan Feng didn't have time to react.

The head rises with the knife.

Poor Pan Feng, the dignified general Lu Long, finally died at the hands of an unknown cavalryman in Wuwei.

One hundred Chengde wolves were still invincible on the battlefield, they cut through Pan Feng's cavalry all the way, and when they rushed forward and turned around, there were still more than seventy horses left in one hundred horses, without the slightest hesitation, Min Rou raised his knife and launched a second charge towards the way he came.

In their rear, Tu Lichun's 1,000 cavalry further expanded the cross-section that had been penetrated, and when the 3,000 relatives and guards led by Li Yutong rushed in from along this gap, the 4,000 Lu dragoons were completely cut apart.

The Wuwei cavalry concentrated their forces and stormed the Lu dragoons on the right flank that had been divided, and under the charge of the Chengde wolf cavalry, they easily scattered and disorganized the nearly 2,000 Lu dragoons on the right flank, and could no longer form an effective formation.

And Pan Feng's death became the last straw that crushed the camel.

Pan Feng died, and the banner fell. The command system of the Lu Dragoons instantly failed, and they fell into the realm of fighting on their own.

After only holding on to a pillar of incense, the cavalry suddenly collapsed and joined the ranks of the fleeing. The mode of war has reverted to one escape and one chase.

From time to time, the Lu dragoons ran out of horsepower and fell off their horses, for these Lu dragoons who were tired of their horses alive, the Wuwei cavalry didn't even look at them, they only cared about destroying their horses and chasing the cavalry who were still running away.

The cavalry chased and fled, and left Matou Village in an instant.

In the Matouzhai military camp, Cheng Xu took his hundreds of remnants and witnessed this cavalry battle with his own eyes, and for those of them who escaped death, there was nothing faster than seeing the enemy who had just destroyed them fall in front of them and be ruthlessly trampled by their own friendly troops.

Cheng Xu stood there with tears on his face, looked back at his surviving subordinates, raised his arms and roared: "We won, we won." ”

Hundreds of remnants of the Jedi escaped, and in addition to happiness, there was joy on their faces.

"We won!" They raised their arms and shouted.

The 3,000 Divine Army, although there are only a few hundred people left, but for them, it is the most important transformation of their lives, and from today on, they will become a real strong army, rather than being regarded as a group of shelf goods by others.

Although Pan Feng's obstruction did not change the decline of Lu Long's main force, there was no doubt that it still bought them a certain amount of time.

In the Juma River, it is full of war horses and human heads. The fleeing cavalry drove their horses into the river, and then swam across the river with their horses.

Fortunately, it is already November, and the water of the Juma River has shrunk greatly, and the river that is extremely turbulent during the flood season is now like a gentle little girl, and the river is light and gentle.

Min Rou, Tu Lichun and horses stood on the embankment, and when they saw the dense war horses and the embarrassed cavalry swimming across the river, they looked at each other and smiled.

Li Ze's battle, although he took great risks, won after all, and just as Li Ze hoped, the situation in the north was decided by a battle.

Li Ze can't rely on the county seat of Yi County to defend it, but if this happens, it will give Zhang Zhongwu too much choice. He can attack Li Ze, or he can leave a section to contain Li Ze and then lead the main force to Doushizhuang, Wang Sili's back road, for the two armies that are attacking Zhuozhou, not to mention anything else, if the grain road is cut off, they will die without a place to bury. What's more, Zhang Zhongwu can also drive his troops around Dingzhou and Yizhou, and directly enter the land of Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou, which is what Li Ze can't bear. For cavalry, they were too mobile and had too much room for tactical options.

Li Ze had no choice but to venture out of the city and use his own huge bait to attract Zhang Zhongwu. If you kill him Li Ze, it is undoubtedly the easiest way to end the war.

Fortunately, his plan succeeded. Zhang Zhongwu really chose this seemingly simplest combat mode.

And even more fortunately, Li Ze won.

After this battle, the overall situation in the north has indeed been almost decided, but it was Li Ze who had the last laugh.
