Chapter 133: Expedition 3

Li Tangshan felt that the situation was wrong, and said to General Ren: "General, I think this Rigangshan intends to come here to block us, maybe there is some conspiracy behind it?" I want to meet them! ”

Ren Huan nodded: "Li Tangshan is the striker, and Zhao Tuo is supporting in the back!" ”

Li Tangshan led his troops behind Rigang Mountain.

Li Tangshan led the troops on the march in the mountains of Minyue.

"Kill!" When he was still about 300 meters away from the enemy's camp, Li Tangshan suddenly turned his horse's head away, avoided the thick infantry phalanx of the opponent's spears, and smashed into the opponent's relatively weak flank like a whirlwind.

The commander of the enemy army obviously did not expect that Li Tangshan would take the lead in attacking the infantry phalanx with the thickest defensive force on his side, so it was inevitable that there would be some negligence in defense. In particular, Li Tangshan's army directly killed his own flank, which was even more unexpected than he expected.

Rao has always been the elite of Minyue's corps, but under the stormy attack of Li Tangshan, the defense line on the flank collapsed immediately.

And the infantry, which has lost its formation, does not pose any threat to the cavalry at all. Li Tangshan led his 7,000 cavalry, and under the rampage, he actually completely defeated the right flank of the Minyue infantry in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, Wu Rui, the commander of this infantry, was also a veteran of the battlefield, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately separated the infantry from the right flank that had been dispersed. Seeing this, the cavalry on both flanks also accelerated the speed of the two loaves. Therefore, when Li Tangshan strangled the infantry phalanx of thousands of people on the opponent's right flank, the other party had already formed a complete encirclement.

"Brothers, rush with me!" Li Tangshan's iron sword was raised high, roaring like thunder, and then consciously drove the enemy infantry that had been defeated just now towards the enemy army that had regained its footing. Although Li Tangshan is upright and bold, his talent in military affairs is beyond doubt. He understood that with the 7,000 cavalry in his hands, the only way to face an enemy ten times stronger than his own was to keep his fighting spirit high at all times.

Overwhelm the opponent in morale, and then completely shatter the opponent's establishment. Because as long as the opponent forms a complete defensive formation, then his 7,000 cavalry will inevitably die without a place to be buried. It's just that there is still a trace of doubt in his heart, didn't Minyue's Chen Cheng Corps dispatch more than 100,000 people? How come there is no such number on the battlefield?

Under Li Tangshan's conscious drive, the remnants of thousands of enemy troops on the right flank had to be routed towards their own defensive positions. And in the face of these comrades-in-arms, who were originally brothers and sisters, the soldiers of the infantry phalanx obviously had some hesitation.

The originally well-defended infantry phalanx also revealed several gaps as a result. Li Tangshan keenly grasped these gaps, and with a wave of his iron sword, the seven thousand cavalry landed as if they had found a flood of catharsis, and rushed directly into the opponent's formation with an indomitable momentum.

Under the sharp *** of the Minyue cavalry, countless Minyue soldiers had already fallen under the horse's hooves before they had time to make their own voices. However, after all, the Chen Cheng Corps was the most elite army of the younger brother of the King of Minyue, and although Li Tangshan was menacing, they were still fearless.

The soldiers in front had just fallen, and the soldiers behind had already risen up. The spear array, which is not strict, is like a leek one after another, cutting stubble after stubble, but it is not finished. And the infantry commander of the other side is obviously a person who is proficient in the art of war, although there are less than 20,000 of the original 30,000 soldiers in his hands, but this only 20,000 people have been skillfully used by him to fortify layer by layer, forming at least five defensive positions in front of Li Tangshan.

Every time the soldiers who retreated from the forefront were placed behind the last line of defense by him, and the cavalry on both wings also frantically attacked Li Tangshan's cavalry flanks. Although Li Tangshan's army still maintained an indomitable momentum of impact, the strength of the army was gradually consumed in this endless melee.

Li Tangshan's heart was irritable, what the light cavalry feared most was the infantry's in-depth defensive formation, if the opponent's formation could not be disrupted, the light cavalry's heavily defended spear phalanx was undoubtedly a kind of suicide. Of course, he still occupies the initiative on the battlefield, but this initiative is already in jeopardy.

With the advantage of strong forces, the opponent can form an overwhelming attack on himself. Especially the cavalry that flanked him on both sides and followed his tail was like a blood trough, quickly draining his own blood, and then slowly strangled himself like a bamboo shoot. The army of bloody slaughter and Fengjing was still dozens of miles away, and although the cavalry could arrive in just an hour, it was less than an hour enough to wipe out all of their 7,000 cavalry.

The impact of a long battle and a long time of attacking is undoubtedly extremely serious. Especially when you are under siege, no matter which direction you break through, no matter how many enemy troops you kill or wound, but there are still dense enemies around. Rao is Minyue cavalry are all determined people, but in this case, there is still a deep sense of powerlessness. Although they still maintain the courage to fight to the death, they have lost the courage to move forward and kill the gods.

On a hill not far from the battlefield, two men in a group of pro-soldiers stood with their hands in their hands.

"Chief Suying, the enemy army is already under siege, and it is only a matter of time before the entire army is destroyed. The chief is indeed a god with soldiers. The person who spoke had a fierce face, but it was Rigangshan, the commander of the Yan Le Corps.

"General Gangshan, don't underestimate this army. Their ability to shake our heavily defended infantry positions with their weak forces and to maintain the upper hand shows that their generals have keen eyes and brave force, and their warriors have strong will and great fighting power. Although they were heavily encircled, their formation was not disrupted. With such an elite division, where is it so easy to be eliminated? Su Ying shook her head and said.

"They only have less than 4,000 cavalry now, and the last general really can't think of a reason to pay attention to them." Rigangshan said disapprehantly.

"General Gangshan, military strength is never the most important factor in determining the outcome of a war. For a truly famous general, unless it is an opponent of equal strength, strength is always only a secondary factor. If the strength of the army is really the most important factor in determining the outcome of a war, then there will not be so many battles in history in which fewer people win more, and there will not be so many famous generals in a hundred battles. As long as there are the right generals at the right time, in the right place, even if there are only 100 troops, the strength of 100,000 troops can be exerted. ”

Rigangshan said a little unconvinced: "But now they are just trapped beasts fighting." Faced with the fact that morale is declining and the soldiers are plummeting, I really can't think of any way out for them. ”
