Chapter 874 is in full swing!
On the vast plain, Kuang Guoliang was dressed in battle armor, his long horse lance was dragged behind him, and the cavalry galloped on the ground, kicking up the dust.
"Hoo-hoo!" The cavalrymen took control of their horses, threw out a loud trumpet sound, and then one by one they collected their weapons and took out their bows, and bent their bows and arrows to shoot back.
The Central Plains Army had already surrounded Kuang Guoliang's cavalry a day ago, Tan Lei was a veteran of the war, he used cavalry to encircle Kuang Liangguo, and then quickly divided and surrounded, and separated Kuang Liangguo's more than 10,000 people and horses by half.
It's just that there is one thing he didn't expect, that is, Kuang Liangguo is different from others, he is a master who violates conventions and does not play cards according to common sense.
If other people's armies were divided into several parts, it would definitely be finished in an instant, but Kuang Liangguo's soldiers were used to fighting separately, and after being divided and surrounded, not only did they not collapse, but their fighting style became more and more flexible, and they turned around faster and faster.
Isn't it fast for cavalry to fight? The world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable, Kuang Liangguo's cavalry is all light and fast, even if they are besieged, but they turn around very fast, come and go like the wind, and they can't catch it for a while.
Tan Lei's choice of battlefield is Ma Sangkou, which is also exactly Kuang Liangguo's favorite place, in fact, although Kuang Liangguo is so happy, but this person really has a set of battles, and the cavalry style is also very distinctive, the so-called art talent is bold, no, as soon as the two sides fight, although Kuang Zi is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, and the battle situation seems to be precarious, but Tan Lei wants to easily defeat Kuang Zi, but it is not easy to defeat.
The two sides fought for a day and a night, Tan Lei pinched his fingers and counted that three or four thousand people died on his side, and the opponent only lost a few thousand cavalry, so it turned out to be 1,000 killed and 800 self-inflicted.
In the Chinese military tent, Tan Lei was so angry that the first Buddha was born, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, he smashed his Baoding prints, and roared almost roaringly: "I, Tan Lei, have fought all my life, and I have fought with the Northern Yan and Turks back then, but it is the first time to fight such a humiliating battle."
We have 40,000 or 50,000 horses, and we have surrounded more than 10,000 opponents, and we can't attack for a long time, even if we don't use weapons, we only use our mouths, and we will bite these bastards to death! But what about you, you have more people dead than your opponents, and if this is spread out, won't it make the world laugh? ”
"Lord Wang, this Kuang Liangguo is Lu Zheng's first-class henchman, this person is notoriously unreasonable in his use of soldiers, all of them are wild, it is difficult for us to use conventional tactics to deal with him in this kind of role, just like now, we think that he will be defeated, but maybe this person is just good at this kind of play, but we are passive!"
Tan Lei snorted coldly and said angrily: "That's a stinky fart!" I think the root cause is your incompetence, you yourself think you are sure to win, but the opponent you face is too strong, but you lose your sharpness, this comes and goes, and you suffer a loss, which really makes people laugh off their big teeth! ”
"The prince is angry, this battle surnamed Kuang will be defeated! This Lu Zheng's cavalry is really quite brave, outside Huazhou City before, it is said that General Cao was teased by more than 100 scout cavalry under Lu Zheng! General Cao's tens of thousands of horses did not stop these more than 100 people, after this battle, General Cao had a cowardice in his heart, which led to the loss of Huazhou City, if not, General Cao will be able to take the initiative to defend according to the prince's will, maybe now Huazhou City is still safe in our hands! ”
As soon as he said this, there was an uproar in the tent, and Tan Lei's face was also very gloomy, because he also knew it at this time, but because this matter was afraid of hurting morale, he never said it publicly.
Now that he said this in the tent, isn't the power of Lu Zheng's cavalry well known? Tan Lei felt the bitterness in his heart, he didn't expect Lu Zheng's cavalry to be so difficult to deal with.
The people of the Central Plains have always said that Liaodong Iron Riding is powerful, but this is just enough to say to others, isn't that nonsense to Tan Lei? He Tan Lei is the origin of the orthodox Liaodong Iron Cavalry, if you want to say that the cavalry is powerful, Tan Lei really doesn't believe that Lu Zheng's foundation of the Nanfu Army can train cavalry comparable to his Liaodong Iron Cavalry!
But now as soon as the two sides fight, Tan Lei knows that this is not the case, Lu Zheng's cavalry is following the path of the Northwest Cavalry, and the most powerful Northwest Cavalry is naturally the Song father and son, Song Wensong has been in Liaodong for so long, dare to take out his ability to press the bottom of the box to be loyal to Lu Zheng?
The strongest place of the Northwest Iron Cavalry is that the horse is strong and the people are light, if it is a heavy cavalry, there is not much difference between the Liaodong and the Northwest Cavalry, but if it is a light cavalry, the Northwest Cavalry will throw the Liaodong Cavalry far away. Song Naifeng's original cavalry equipment can be said to have made the Northwest Battlefield undergo a great reshuffle.
And this is exactly what Tan Lei ignores! It was at this point that the Northwest Army's tactics of running away if they could not win were vividly displayed in Masankou. Kuangzi is a master, but can Tan Lei retreat now? At this point, even if it's a bowl of raw rice, you have to eat it, and you can't care about it.
"No matter how difficult it is, anyway, if I give you another day, I must destroy Kuang Liangguo within one day, if not, I will ask you!" Tan Lei hissed at the bottom.
I have to say that Tan Lei's roar effect is very obvious, and on that day, the cavalry under his command went crazy to besiege Kuang Liangguo from all sides. This battle became extremely bloody and brutal, and Kuang Liangguo's cavalry suffered heavy casualties, but the two rivers around Masankou became his lifeline.
These two rivers divided this large plain into several pieces, Kuang Liangguo's cavalry was able to cross the river, and whenever they encountered danger, they went into the water to cross the river, although there were casualties, but they were able to turn the danger into a disaster, so that Tan Lei's attack fell short, so this strangulation battle was delayed for a long time.
The longer the time drags on, the more panicked Tan Lei becomes, as a battle-hardened veteran, Tan Lei knows very well that Lu Zheng will never sit still, Lu Zheng can play a lot more cards in his hand than him, what will Lu Zheng's main force do at this time?
"Lord Wang, maybe at this time Lu Zheng's army has arrived near Miaocheng, after all, Cao Weiming will not clear it, let him plunder near Miaocheng, and the state may be threatened, so that the grain route of the Liaodong Army is even more impossible to maintain, without the grain route, how to fight in the Central Plains?" The strategist saw through Tan Lei's thoughts, and immediately came over to comfort him.
Tan Lei nodded, sighed and said, "I hope so!" We must not be entangled by our opponents, or we will be in danger! ”
At a critical time, Tan Lei's mind is still a dead friend and not a poor man, Cao Weiming is finished, as long as he can be given a chance and time, it will be the best!
As long as Lu Zheng can't succeed in going south and folds in Huazhou and Wangzhou, Tan Lei can easily return to his division, of course, Hebei will be in his hands at that time.
With the land of Hebei, Tan Lei will be sure to unify the Central Plains within a few years, and those who win the Central Plains will win the world, Tan Lei is now trapped in the capital It is not easy to do anything, but after the capital and the entire Central Plains are completely in the bag, the situation has completely changed!
"Report, urgent report, report to the king!"
The guards outside the door suddenly rushed in, looking at their appearance, panicked and incoherent! Tan Lei, who was already up and down in his heart, suddenly jumped into his mouth, and he blurted out: "What's the matter?" Slowly, the sky can't fall! ”
"God, the couch is down! The cunning and treacherous surnamed Lu actually raided Wangzhou, and the army surrounded Wangzhou City, and Wangzhou City was broken at the moment......"
"What?" Tan Lei gasped, his eyes widened, and his eyeballs almost fell out of his sockets: "How is this possible?" We have put our hands on all the main roads leading to Wangzhou, how did his soldiers pass? Could it be that it flew from the world? ”
According to ...... According to the scouts! In the past few days, the army besieged Kuang Liangguo, Lu Zheng's army broke through the Masang Pass at night, did not have any stop here, and directly attacked Wangzhou, trying to take Wangzhou and then start with us, Kuang Liangguo's army ...... It's a trap! ”
Tan Lei's whole person was immediately stunned, his hands and feet were completely cold, how could he fight this battle? Once Wangzhou misses, the road to the south will be blocked, and the Central Plains Army will have no way to retreat south, so between Bingzhou and Wangzhou, the Liaodong Army and the Central Plains Army will have to live and die!
Tan Lei felt a chill in his heart, he knew very well that there was a gap between the Central Plains Army and the Liaodong Army in terms of numbers and combat strength, if there was to be a decisive battle, the Central Plains Army must choose a favorable opportunity, otherwise this battle would not be able to be fought.
Originally, in the process of fighting wits and courage between the two sides, the Central Plains Army had already taken the lead, as long as the Central Plains Army dragged on time, the Liaodong Army must fail to cut off the grain and grass, but the situation on the battlefield is often changing rapidly, in an extremely unfavorable situation, Lu Zheng actually let go, and the army passed by Ma Sangkou without saving Kuang Liangguo, and directly took Wangzhou.
You must know that most of Tan Lei's military rations are in Wangzhou, and Wangzhou is the hub connecting Hebei and the capital in the south.
"Could it be that the heavens are going to kill me Tan Lei?" Tan Lei looked up to the sky and shouted.
"Lord Wang, the outcome has not yet been decided at this moment, Lu Zheng's danger does not mean that he is absolutely sure, we have a lot of defenders in Wangzhou, at this time, we quickly pounced on the internal and external cooperation, and Lu Zheng may not be able to occupy much advantage......"
Tan Lei raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, when his confidant Qin Xuan said: "Lord Wang, if Wangzhou is lost, our grain road will be broken, and the opponent's grain road will be lived. If we lose Wangzhou, this battle will be lost, so Wangzhou must not be lost! ”
Tan Lei took a deep breath, his heart was crossed, and he immediately said: "Pass my general's order, the whole army will turn to Wangzhou, and we will fight a decisive battle outside Wangzhou City!" ”
