Chapter 22: The First Encounter

"Do you know who is on the other side, how many people there are, and why this person does not defend the city but sets up a defense line outside the city." Deng Mao asked the soldiers beside him.

"General, according to the news that came out of our detailed work in the city, the Wuzhong County Order had fled ten days ago, and the people guarding the city were a big family surnamed Tian in the city, and there were only about 100 people, as for who was on the other side now, how many people and horses there were, the city was under martial law, and only allowed to enter and exit, and the news could not be transmitted." The soldier replied.

"Rice buckets, a group of rice buckets, I don't know who is defending on the opposite side, how many people and horses there are, so I rashly attack." Deng Mao said angrily.

"General, don't be angry. The entire Youzhou is now our world, even Jixian County has been broken by us, and the soldiers who can fight in the entire Youzhou are all in Dai County, Shanggu area, and the number of people on the right Beiping side is only tens of millions at most. We have an army of 50,000 troops, and the day is just around the corner to break through Youbeiping. Deng Mao's military advisor Xu Xian said.

"Having said that, we still can't take it lightly, judging from the cavalry that fought yesterday, the leader on the opposite side is very set. When we first arrived yesterday, I deliberately let the pioneer camp show its flaws, so that the cavalry followed behind the pioneer camp, as long as the opposite side launched an attack, my cavalry could quickly kill, kill him by surprise, but the guard on the opposite side was unmoved, watching the pioneer camp set up camp. From this point of view, we are facing a difficult opponent this time. Deng Mao said to everyone.

Although Deng Mao is brutal, he has to be said to be a handsome talent, although this person looks rude, if anyone wants to treat this person like this, he will inevitably suffer a big loss at the hands of this person.

"The general might as well let the last general lead a battalion of cavalry to take down the opposite battalion for the general." Wang Tong asked for battle.

"Since you have this heart, then I'll give you 5,000 rides, I hope you don't live up to my expectations." Deng Mao said to Wang Tong.

"No, my subordinates will not disappoint the general." After Wang Tong finished speaking, he turned around and went out to reorganize his military horses and prepare to attack.

"Childe, there's a cavalry on the other side." Zhang Chao said to Tang Zheng.

"This should be the other party's elite, yesterday the other party suffered a big loss, and today I am ready to come back to the field." Tang Zheng said with a smile.

"The order goes down this time to let the Modao battalion attack, Guo Mingda leads 2,000 cavalry to guard the left and right flanks of the Modao battalion and wait for the opportunity, I want this cavalry to come and go."

"No." Zhang Chao turned around and went down to arrange Tang Zheng's order. This is the first time that the Modao battalion has faced so many cavalry, and many recruits who have never been on the battlefield are sweating in their palms, and although they are nervous, they still walk forward with neat steps.

"Someone came to report the name, and the general will not kill the nameless ghost under the knife." Wang Tong shouted and asked towards the Modao Battalion.

This is also the first time he has seen the Modao Battalion with heavy armor and a sword in his hand. The Modao battalion didn't answer, and still held the Modao diagonally and moved forward with neat steps.

Seeing that no one answered, Wang Tong commanded the cavalry to charge. What is the effect of 5,000 cavalry running, the soldiers of the Modao Battalion are now very understanding, and they feel that the whole earth is trembling.

Looking at the cavalry getting closer and closer in front of him, the captains of the Modao battalion shouted loudly, only to see the soldiers in the front row put up a big shield, the big shield is one person high, and the two big shields together just formed a low wall that the cavalry can't cross, and suddenly a steel wall appeared in front of the Modao battalion, and the Modao soldiers in the front row are all strong and strong people, they not only have to wear armor all over their bodies but also carry a 30-kilogram shield to resist the cavalry's charge, Once the cavalry loses speed on the battlefield, it can only be slaughtered.

When Wang Tong saw a shield wall in front of him, he knew that it was not good, but at this time there was no way, once the cavalry charged, there was no way to stop, and forcibly stopping could only make the front one be trampled to death by the back, so he had to rush forward, hoping that the shield wall in front of him would only look like it.

When the cavalry crashed into the shield wall, it was like a car traveling at high speed suddenly hitting the wall, and it stopped instantly, and suddenly the man turned on his back.

The impact force of the cavalry is so great, fortunately, Tang Zheng took this into account when building the big shield, when the big shield was erected, there was a Mo knife to use as the support of the big shield, and one head was on the big shield and the other side was pestled on the ground.

Therefore, when the cavalry charged against the great shield, it only brought the tremor of the great shield. At this time, the Mo knife battalion behind the big shield began to exert its might, and a Mo knife was handed out from the gap in the big shield, and when the cavalry completely stopped, the one-sided slaughter began, only to see the Mo knife flying, but the enemy had no power to parry.

Wang Tong watched his subordinates suffer heavy casualties, desperately rushing left and right, trying to break down the military formation of the Modao battalion, which only accelerated the physical consumption of the cavalry, and was useless to the war, the Modao battalion was used to deal with the cavalry at the beginning of the construction, and from the outside, a Modao soldier was like a layer of wrapping, and even Tang Zheng dealt with the place where the joints moved.

Deng Mao, who was watching the battle in the rear, saw that the battlefield was becoming more and more unfavorable to his side, so he had to order the troops to be collected, and when he heard the horn of the troops, the cavalry began to retreat, and Guo Mingda was already waiting on the side with 2,000 cavalry to take advantage of the situation.

Suddenly the scene was even more chaotic, the enemy's cavalry had already been killed, and now when they saw the cavalry on the opposite side coming out, they were even more afraid, they threw their weapons one after another, and rode wildly, Guo Mingda's cavalry was equipped with the latest three-shot bow and crossbow produced by Rinshan City, only to see that the enemy fell off the horse, and the war horse was not controlled by the clansmen, so they stopped one after another.

The war was almost over when it came to this, and the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, this time Tang Zheng suffered more than 500 casualties, many of which were caused by the nervousness of going to the battlefield for the first time, causing him to forget to do what he did in his usual training.

However, the harvest was also good, killing more than 2,000 enemies, capturing more than 1,000 enemies, most of them wounded, and capturing more than 600 war horses.

A number of weapons. All in all, the fight was pretty good. Tang Zheng estimated that the enemy would not have a big battle for the time being before he figured out his details.

Tang Zheng ordered the wounded soldiers to be carried down for treatment, and he returned to the camp to begin to summarize the deficiencies of this battle.

"Rice bucket, 5,000 people are back and less than 2,000 people, what do you say you want, what did you say before the battle, you say." Deng Mao yelled angrily at Wang Tong: "Why don't you die on the battlefield and come back with the face." "The more Deng Mao said, the more angry he became, although he said that he had 50,000 horses, but most of them were rabble, and the real elite was less than 10,000 people, and now he was lost 3,000 people by Wang Tong, a bastard, you said that Deng Mao was not angry.

"General, this can't be blamed on the poor combat of the king's commander, it is really too unexpected by the other party, the other party's foot soldier general also saw it, it is different from what we have seen before, their strange weapon that is a sword is not a sword is also very sharp, this is what the king brought back from the battlefield, please take a look at the general." Military Xu Xian pleaded with Deng Mao for Wang Tong, and by the way, handed Deng Mao the Mo knife that Wang Tong brought back from the battlefield.

"What kind of weapon is this? Have you ever seen a weapon of this standard? Deng Mao observed the Mo knife in his hand and said to Wang Tong and Xu Xian.

"The last general has also seen this kind of strange-looking weapon, the last general in this battle is defeated in this kind of weapon, and the enemy's armor is also very strong, our weapon is cut on the opponent's body but can not cause a little damage to the other party, on the contrary, the other party often uses this weapon to easily break our weapon, their weapon can not only chop, if necessary, it can also be used as a spear to stab, when they erect a shield wall on the battlefield, it is from the gap that this weapon is stabbed out of the gap to kill me by surprise." Wang Tong told everything he encountered on the battlefield.

"You said that this weapon can be used as a spear in addition to chopping. If that's the case, I think this weapon is specifically for cavalry, and by the way, find out who is on the other side. Deng Mao asked his own soldiers.

"The subordinates are incompetent, and they haven't found out who the other party is for the time being, but the subordinates have found out that the soldiers and horses on the opposite side are from Rinshan City, and today they led the cavalry to chase and kill the king Commander is Wu Yifan's subordinate named Guo Mingda." The pro-soldier replied.

"Oh, who is this Guo Mingda? Who is Wu Yifan? Deng Mao opened his mouth curiously.

"General Hui, this Wu Yifan used to be a bluffing general, in the border of the family relatives were killed by the squire, and later Wu Yifan led the troops home to destroy the squire Manmen, so he was wanted by the imperial court and fell into the grass, although this person fell into the grass, but the looting are all big gentry and often give their looted money and grain to the common people, this person has a good reputation in the mouth of the local people, at that time in the right Beiping made a vigorous scene, many people know, but then suddenly disappeared, but now for some reason appeared in the city of Shan Mountain." The soldiers told what they knew.

"What kind of place is this Rinkama Castle? When did such a city emerge in Youbeiping? Why are there so many strange things in Beiping? Deng Mao asked.

"General, I know this Rinyama Castle." At this time, the military advisor Xu Xian opened his mouth and said: "Rinshan City, located in Tuyin County, was built last year, I heard that this city was built from the construction to the construction of only half a year, Rinshan City came from the hands of a young man named Tang Zheng, I heard that this person can be literate and martial, this person is there no one knows, but I heard that suddenly appeared in a village under Tuyin County, this person is based on the village to build Rinshan City, and later this person was recommended to be the lieutenant of Tuyin County, when Tuyin bandits were rampant, this person recruited displaced people to train soldiers, Then it took a month for this person to exterminate all the bandits in Tuyuan, and I heard that now the Tuyin County Order has been set aside by this person. Deng Mao listened to what Xu Xian said, and suddenly felt his head buzzing, there was a demon in this world.

It was the only thing he could think of.

"So the one who appeared in front of us was that Tang Zheng?"

"If the people and horses on the other side are indeed from Rinshan City, it should be that Tang Zheng on the other side, but I don't know when he had so many people, when he suppressed bandits, there were only about seven or eight hundred people." Military advisor Xu Xiandao.

"Looks like we're going to have to remake our plans, this man will be our enemy." Deng Mao said with a sigh.
