The impact of the flesh and blood of the cavalry is also enormous. The spear with its tail against the ground would not have been able to withstand the impact of the force of the ground unless it had relied on the strength of the grooves in the ground. The spear with its toughness is bent in an arc under the force of the impact. The crackling sound of cracking could be heard everywhere, and countless spears could not withstand the force of the opponent's ferocious impact and broke apart.

Under the huge inertia, even with the spears in front, the cavalry could not stop. The cavalry and war horses rushed into the crowd of the Fallen Wild Goose with a huge impact force, and the force of the sweep made the Falling Wild Goose soldiers roll to the ground, difficult to dodge. Cause confusion in the formation of the Falling Goose Army.

Overall, the spear array was able to counteract the opponent's charge, and hundreds of cavalrymen slammed into the tip of the spear so hard, and were pierced through the body like a sugar gourd. And the formation of the Falling Goose Army was also scattered under the huge impact of the opponent's cavalry. There was chaos in front of the battle, and many people resisted the spear with all their might, but blood sprayed from the mouth of the impact.

Fortunately, such an impact did not last long, and if they failed to ride their horses to break through the opponent's formation, it was impossible for the subsequent cavalry to continue the impact power. After withstanding the first wave of cavalry charges, the goal has been achieved for the Luoyan army.

"Kill!" Lin Jue roared loudly and swung the long knife in his hand forward.

"Kill!" The soldiers of the Luoyan Army shouted in unison, and their swords rushed forward. The situation soon entered the melee phase of cavalry and infantry. The soldiers of the Falling Goose Army are good at hand-to-hand combat, and after counteracting the cavalry charge, the next time is for them to show their skills. Even if they were facing cavalry on horseback, the Luoyan army was not afraid at all. The power of cavalry lies in charging and slashing, not in melee combat. Cavalry that cannot use the power of charging and maneuvering is actually limited.

The training subjects of the Luoyan Army on weekdays included hand-to-hand combat against cavalry. The cavalry sat on horseback and condescended, and for the infantry, it was absolutely superior. How to resolve this disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat is an important issue. The response of the Luoyan Army was to actively implement the principle of killing people first and killing horses first, in addition to strengthening martial arts training and making their bodies more flexible. Once the cavalry on top of the sky had no mounts, they were just infantry.

Therefore, once they entered the hand-to-hand combat, a large number of war horses fell down with a wail, and the soldiers of the Luoyan Army launched an attack on the war horses as soon as possible. The sword beckoned to the horse's leg, and there were many broken hooves on the ground. When the horse fell with a scream, the cavalry on the horse did not have time to jump down, and even the men and horses fell to the ground, and then they were cut down with knives and died.

When the formations of the two sides were rolling and staggering, wherever the soldiers of the Luoyan Army went, there were almost no upright war horses. I saw only the cavalry charging infantry formation, and the infantry fell like straws. Today, the situation is reversed, the infantry rushed into the cavalry formation, but the cavalry fell one after another like cutting leeks, which is really incredible. The cavalrymen on horseback swung their blades in vain and slashed, but the opposing soldiers were too nimble to jump around and miss. On the contrary, limited by the restrictions of the horse's back, the cavalry felt for the first time that the war horse under the crotch was a burden, which was a feeling that had never been seen before. You know, riding a war horse condescendingly chasing after the wailing and fleeing infantry was the preserve of cavalry, but today all this is reversed.

The battle had lasted less than a stick of incense before the cavalry in the rear sensed that something was wrong. Seeing the brothers in front of them fall one by one, and there was no war horse on the ground wherever the other party went, the feeling was terrifying and desperate. Eventually, someone began to turn their horses' heads and try to flee between the mountains and fields. This escape was a great rout. With a dead end in the back and a dead end in front, their only option was to escape between the mountains on both sides. However, here is full of undulating mountains, forests, thorns, ravines and weeds, and it is dark again, and after running less than a dozen steps, even people and horses fall down. There is no way to escape.

The fighting ended an hour later. In fact, the battle lasted less than half an hour, but it took a lot of effort to hunt down and capture these scurrying cavalry. Carrying torches around searching for the Praetorian cavalry lying in the ravines and weeds was no good job. Lin Jue only symbolically searched before announcing his evacuation. There is no need to capture all these people, the main thing is to capture all the remaining horses and equipment, these are what Lin Jue wants. As for those cavalrymen, they don't have to be killed. Let them hide in the grass and thorns, shiver in the cold of the autumn night, and let them go back alive to preach the bravery of the Falling Goose Army, which is good for the Falling Goose Army.

The entire blocking operation lasted less than two hours, and more than 7,000 of Zhao Yuankang's 10,000 cavalry fled in a hurry. The Luoyan army suffered less than 300 casualties, captured 900 horses, captured more than 400 people, and 3,000 sets of weapons and armor. More importantly, the morale of the Falling Goose Army was greatly affected in this battle, and the Falling Wild Goose Army withstood the test after this battle. Many soldiers gained valuable confidence and experience and took a solid step towards becoming a real army.

Zhao Yuankang immediately ordered the evacuation of Bowang Town after dark, and he didn't dare to have any more ideas. It was even more dangerous after dark, and who knew where the Fallen Goose Army would come out to ambush them. It is difficult for cavalry to exert their combat effectiveness at night. Even if it was difficult to explain to Guo Xu, Zhao Yuankang could only go back to recover his life.

At the time of the second watch, Zhao Yuankang was defeated and returned to the camp of the army, Guo Xu, who had already laid down to rest, heard the news that Zhao Yuankang was ambushed and returned from the defeat in Bowangpo, and Zhao Yuankang confessed again and again, kowtowed under the tent and begged for mercy. Guo Xu wanted to punish him severely, because the army suffered a crushing defeat in the first battle, which really damaged morale. But thinking that the war was imminent, Zhao Yuankang was the commander in chief of the army personally selected, and it was taboo to kill and change commanders before the war, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

It's just that Guo Xu told Zhao Yuankang that he remembered all the bold words he said before the war and the poisonous oaths he made, and if he couldn't atone for his sins later, he would do what he wanted and shoot him with arrows. Zhao Yuankang said yes again and again, and he was depressed in his heart.

Although the defeat of this unexpected battle made Guo Xu extremely annoyed, it also aroused Guo Xu's greater anger and competitiveness. It was obvious that his plan was expected to be the enemy's first, and Lin Jue had insight into his intentions, so he set up an ambush. Guo Xu understood the gap between himself and Lin Jue, but he refused to admit it. However, this defeat does not affect the overall situation. The 160,000 army was only wounded by the skin, since it was inferior to the opponent in terms of strategy, there was no need to play some fancy things, and honestly attack the East Valley and take the Luoyan Valley directly, which may be the ultimate solution to the problem.

The reason why he made the decision to raid from the Shiren Pass was that Guo Xu didn't want to use a stupid attack strategy to fight, and second, he also wanted to show off his means and let the world know that he was more outstanding than Lin Jue's strategy. But after the setback, Guo Xu was honest, and it was better to attack Dongshankou in a proper manner. In the face of absolute strength, it is actually difficult for the other party to resist the attack of his own army, and the more fancy things he plays, the easier it is for Lin Jue to seize the loophole and bite him, but the gains outweigh the losses.

Guo Xu couldn't sleep anymore, so he immediately passed down the will, and the army was immediately launched. The soldiers scolded in their hearts, the emperor wanted to march in the middle of the night, which was really annoying. But even if the holy decree was issued, the military order was like a mountain, and he did not dare to disobey it. Everyone had to get up and pack up on the hour, and it wasn't until the wee hours of the morning that the army was ready to march on the Venus.

It is not far from Funiu Mountain, and after wading through the Baihe River and entering the territory of Nanzhao County, it has already entered the range of Funiu Mountain. When the morning sun was rising, the army had already set up camp in the field before the mountain valley of Funiu Mountain.

Guo Xu personally led the generals to climb the hill in front of him to check the terrain ahead. The Funiu Mountain in front of you is extraordinarily tall in the early morning light, countless mountains near and far are hidden between the morning mist, the two mountains outside the Li Xu are tall and steep, a canyon between the two mountains is in front, deep and wide, this canyon is the natural passage from the east side of Funiu Mountain to the north side, and it is also the only way to go to the Dazhai of Luoyan Valley.

The slopes on both sides of the canyon are lush and densely wooded, and although there are no soldiers and horses to be seen on the outside, everyone understands that on both sides of the canyon, there are countless soldiers and horses of the Luoyan Army and the defensive fortification towers. This seemingly thoroughfare, Dongshan Canyon, is actually murderous and extremely dangerous.

"When will my baggage equipment arrive?" Guo Xu put down his clairvoyance and turned his head to ask the people around him.

Zhao Yuankang hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "It is inconvenient to cross the river, a pontoon bridge is being erected on the White River, and it will be there soon, about two hours." ”

"Two hours? I can't wait. Zhao Yuankang, tell me how we should fight. Guo Xu said.

Zhao Yuankang has learned to be obedient after yesterday's events, and arched his hand and said: "If the emperor says how to fight, the minister will fight." The emperor's plan must be clever, and the ministers will not be ugly. ”

Guo Xu sneered: "You will shirk it." But I really don't need your ideas. I've already figured it out. Someone came, passed on my order, and sent 3,000 cavalry to rush into the canyon and force an attack. ”

"This ......" the generals were all stunned.

Guo Xu frowned and said, "What?" Any questions? ”

"Your Majesty, isn't this sending 3,000 cavalrymen to death?" A general was bold.

Guo Xu laughed loudly and said: "General Bai Qi, you have led troops in the border town for many years, don't you know the method of luring the enemy?" At this moment, we don't know how many ambushes there are on the other side, how many arrow tower fortifications there are, and we want to lure them to be exposed. These 3,000 cavalry were the bait to lure them into attack. You are not wrong to say that they will die, they may be annihilated in the canyon, but I know how many men and horses they have ambushed, and I can respond. Got it? ”
