Chapter 718: Victory in the First Battle!
When Lu Zheng used his troops, he expected that the Northwest Army would inevitably break through in a hurry, and the direction of the breakthrough could only be to advance separately, Dong Jialin quickly approached Qi Biao, and the armies of the two were concentrated together, so that they could exert the greatest power.
Therefore, there is no suspense in the direction of Dong Jialin's breakthrough, and it is also human nature. Therefore, Lu Zheng planted a heavy horse in the front, and as soon as the two sides fought, Dong Jialin fell into passivity.
But Lu Zheng still underestimated the strength of the Northwest Army, even if Dong Jialin relied on nepotism to ascend to the top, he was also a strong general, and when the attack was blocked, Dong Jialin was not chaotic, and immediately adjusted the deployment, the horn in the army became soothing, Dong Jialin's cavalry slowly retreated, and the two sides disengaged.
Immediately, Dong Jialin quickly turned his horse's head and charged directly to the north, and the cavalry of the Nanfu Army in the north came into contact with Dong Jialin's Northwest Army, even though the other party was surrounded on all sides, the disadvantages of the two sides were immediately exposed.
The cavalry in the northwest came and went like the wind, the sex was as fierce as fire, once it was deployed, the attack was rapid, and their cavalry shooting was almost a hundred shots, the two sides were in contact, after a round of cavalry shooting, Lu Zheng's 2,000 men and horses were killed and wounded more than half! Such a heavy blow is almost equivalent to the battle damage of heavy cavalry to light cavalry.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Lu Zheng looked at this battle from afar, and immediately ordered the attacks of other parties to speed up, encircling from all sides, and quickly squeezing the space for Dong Jialin's movement.
In fact, in terms of military strength, Lu Zheng had an absolute advantage, and Lu Zheng used more than 20,000 men and horses to besiege Dong Jialin's 5,000 men and horses, which was almost four times as many people. Lu Zheng was confident about the odds of winning this battle, and felt that he could win it no matter what, and it was very beautiful.
But now, judging from the casualties on both sides, Lu Zheng is four times that of his opponent, and the casualty rate is about the same, in other words, if Lu Zheng wants to destroy Dong Jialin, he may also have to lose 5,000 cavalry, which is too costly for Lu Zheng!
Lu Zheng hesitated slightly, and the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, at the moment of life and death, Dong Jialin broke out with an extremely strong desire to survive, and he forcibly shifted the battle formation of the Northwest Iron Cavalry, relying on a mountain bag to stabilize the position. Dong Jialin then let the cavalry batch heavy armor, organized 500 heavy armored cavalry to block the front, and then let the archers with horn bows to shoot hard at Lu Zheng's army, the cavalry is a meat shield, and the longbow is a sharp weapon, which is a typical infantry and heavy cavalry coordination tactics.
Lu Zheng watched as thousands of Northwest Iron Cavalry turned from rangers to fortresses, and the speed of the change between attack and defense made him unbelievable...... The Northwest Iron Cavalry turned out to be so terrifying, Song Naifeng can really train the heavenly soldiers!
Lu Zheng's casualties rose sharply, and under such a situation, Lu Zheng could only withdraw his troops, let his cavalry monitor from afar, wait for an opportunity, adjust the deployment, and then find a way.
Fortunately, Yue Feng was well prepared for this battle, and he immediately asked the army to set up four hard crossbow carts, and the heavy arrows on the ballista were fired, and the arrows made a terrifying whistling sound, and one arrow broke the enemy's armor a hundred steps away. In addition, Yue Feng's celebrity brought the fire oil over, splashed it on the mountain bag, and then lit fires on all sides, trapping Dong Jialin's army in the fire with a raging fire.
The fire burned, rolling up thick smoke, Dong Jialin had just stabilized his position, ready to use his heavy cavalry to open the way and quickly break through, Lu Zheng made such a ruthless move, he couldn't help but scold.
There was no way, Dong Jialin gave up his plan to continue to advance, he sent out the generals and asked everyone to disperse and break through, and the direction of the breakthrough was to the northwest, which was equivalent to retracting directly in the direction of Bingzhou.
As soon as he gave the order, the cavalry quickly dispersed, a team of cavalry was dozens or hundreds of people, and Dong Jialin's cavalry was divided into dozens of squads, and these squads were all fleeing north with their own methods.
Lu Zheng once again ordered the cavalry of several sides to press up, and the two sides launched a desperate fight on the vast wasteland, this battle was extremely tragic, Dong Jialin's tactics gave up the cumbersome of charging the formation, it seems to be disorderly, but it is well versed in the essence of guerrilla warfare, after the cavalry is dispersed, the power of the encirclement is greatly weakened.
More importantly, the Nanfu Army is a new army, and at the same time, in the face of a target, they can focus on the target, quickly lock on, and attack decisively. However, once there were dozens of targets, there was a situation of taking care of one and losing the other, and taking advantage of the gap in the Nanfu Army, some people in the northwest cavalry began to jump out of the encirclement.
Of course, the price paid by Dong Jialin is also huge, not to mention anything else, just after such a dispersion, they will not have any offensive force, and the next situation is the rhythm of dogs and rabbits, Dong Jialin is also ruthless enough, in order to escape, he simply gave up all his men.
This battle lasted for a day and a night, Lu Zheng instantly swallowed Dong Jialin's 5,000 men and horses, and when Dong Jialin retreated to the vicinity of Luoyang, he only followed 200 horsemen......
Due to the constant communication, Qi Biao received the news the day after the battle, which means that the 10,000 horses arranged by Yue Feng at Yanzikou have not been touched at all!
Taking stock of this battle, Yue Feng's 30,000 cavalry also suffered 3,000 casualties, which is a huge casualty, which can be said to be heavy. Fortunately, Yue Feng has captured thousands of good horses, as long as there are horses, Yue Feng's cavalry is still very fast!
The casualties were heavy, but the morale of the army was extremely high, and the officers and men of the Nanfu Army were greatly encouraged by this battle, because they defeated the invincible Northwest Army.
Once upon a time, the Northwest Iron Cavalry was really like a god-like existence in everyone's hearts, but as long as the cavalry, there was no one who had not heard of the Northwest Iron Cavalry and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.
But today, this time, the cavalry of the Nanfu Army defeated the Northwest Iron Cavalry, and it was in an extremely disadvantageous situation, and won the battle.
On the first day the news came out, no one in the world dared to believe it, and it was not until Dong Jialin returned to Bingzhou two days later that the scene of tears was seen, and everyone believed that Dong Jialin's defeat turned out to be true.
Qi Biao atoned for his crimes, quickly turned his troops around, and returned to the place where the two sides were fighting, and at this time he saw only the devastated corpses and the corpses of the northwest robes that they had no time to bury.
And Lu Zheng and his Nanfu army had already run away without a trace, and after Qi Biao pounced into the air, he couldn't help but jump to his feet and scold, saying: "Shame, it's a huge shame!" Our Northwest Army was defeated by the Nanfu Army, and my 100,000 troops went south, and they let Lu Zheng'er take millet in the fire, which simply made the general's face humiliated!! ”
