Chapter 212: The counterattack is frustrated

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Inside the city of Shuyang. Hearing the news of the attack on the camp on the east bank, Liang Qiuci was taken aback, and hurriedly asked the soldiers who had fled back to the west bank to be brought in to meet him.

Seeing these four soldiers who were like chickens in soup, Liang Qiuci asked loudly: "What happened when the camp on the east coast was attacked?" ”

One of the soldiers said in a trembling voice, "Back to ...... Returning to Lord Duwei, the cavalry of the anti-thieves took advantage of the heavy rain to sneak attack the camp of our army, and the three thousand brothers have ...... Already ......"

"Already?" Liang Qiuci asked sharply.

"The whole army has been wiped out...... "At this point, the four soldiers wept silently.

Nearly 2,000 county troops, 1,000 county soldiers, all annihilated? Not to mention that Liang Qiuci was dumbfounded, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, even Lu Zhi and the others were all cold in their hearts, and they were stunned.

After a long time, Liang Qiu Cifang opened his mouth and asked, "How many people are there in the enemy army who stole the camp?" ”

The four soldiers looked at each other and said hesitantly, "All ...... It's all cavalry, and there should be ...... There should be thousands! ”

Liu Xiu obviously has less than a thousand people, but the four soldiers are said to be thousands, which is not entirely an exaggeration. Being in the middle of the battlefield, as one of them, no one has the perspective of God, and the range of vision is very limited, besides, the rain was pouring down, the visibility was extremely low, and everywhere as far as the eye could see, it was all the cavalry of the other side, and the four soldiers were not

It can accurately judge how many men and horses the opponent has, and can only be judged by the opponent's attack power, which seems to be as many as thousands of cavalry.

After listening to their words, Liang Qiuci slammed the table and shouted: "What nonsense! Where did the anti-thieves come from with thousands of horsemen? ”

The four soldiers shrank in fright, and one by one fell to their knees, trembling and speechless.

Lu Zhi waved his hand to Liang Qiuci and reminded in a low voice: "Lord Duwei, it is said that there is a cavalry in the Chungling rebel army, called the Xiao Cavalry Army, and the strength of the Xiao Cavalry Army is two thousand horsemen. ”

Cavalry! Liang Qiuci frowned, it seems that the one who attacked the camp on the east bank this time should be the cavalry in the Chung Ling army, and it was also a nest dispatch.

It's just that the cavalry of so many people will take a long time to make a long-distance attack from Huyang to the east bank of Shuyang, and how can there be no rumors of it. The cavalry didn't come like they had traveled a long way, but more like they had fallen from the sky.

A captain said with a solemn face: "Lord Captain, we have a lot of grain, grass and supplies on the east coast!" ”

Liang Qiuci's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand to the four soldiers, motioning them to retreat, and then he stood up, walked to the door of the hall, and looked at the sky outside.

At this time, the heavy rain had turned into light rain, and the dark clouds in the sky also had a tendency to gradually disperse, Liang Qiuci took a deep breath, and shouted: "Soldiers!" All the army is attacking! Retake the East Coast Camp! "Just as the captain said, in the camp on the east bank, a large amount of grain, grass, and materials have been hoarded, and once these grain, grass, and materials are destroyed by the rebels, it will not only suffer huge losses for the county army, but also for the soldiers

Qi is also a fatal blow.

The Nanyang County Army does not have large warships here in Shuyang, and the ships they use to transport troops and materials are all requisitioned from the people, some large and some small, and the specifications are not uniform.

The 6,000 county troops, on more than 100 large and small boats, set off from the ferry port on the west bank and went straight to the other side of the river. Liang Qiuci and others were on a large merchant ship, and people stood on the deck, looking at the opposite shore. At this time, the sky has cleared the clouds and mist, the rain has completely stopped, the visibility has returned to normal, and from a distance, I saw the shore of the east bank, the corpses on the ground are stacked on top of each other, and a thick layer is laid, and even in the river, there is a floating one

Layers of floating corpses.

When the boat was moving forward, from time to time, corpses floated along the river, crashed into the hull of the boat, and rattled, which made the officers and men of the county army gasp and stand on end.

Cavalry! Among the corpses on the opposite bank, hundreds of cavalrymen stood erected, armed with spears and sweat toils over their faces, revealing only the cold eyes outside.

Liang Qiuci swallowed his saliva, turned his head sideways and shouted: "Let the third song go ashore and explore the reality of the enemy army!" ”

When the herald heard this, he immediately held a flag and waved it to the ships beside him.

After seeing the flag, more than a dozen boats sped up and drove straight to the east coast ferry. As soon as more than a dozen ships docked at the ferry, the 500 soldiers of the county army on board jumped off the boats one after another with a roar and rushed to the shore.

As soon as they reached the shore, they were subjected to crossbow fire from the cavalry on the shore. There was no time to arrange the troops anymore, and the soldiers of the county army could only gather together in a swarm to form a shield formation to resist the crossbow arrows.

At this moment, more than 200 horsemen led by Ma Wu rushed out of the camp on the east bank and rushed straight towards the crowd of the county army.

Seeing the enemy's cavalry coming to charge the battle, the soldiers in the county army pulled their necks and shouted, and the spears poked out from the back of the shield array.

Ma Wu, who was in the lead, did not pause for a moment, and rushed straight towards the spear on the opposite side.

When he got closer, he picked up the nine-eared eight-ring knife, and he heard a series of crisp clicks, and the spears in front of him were cut off by the blades, and then he slashed at the shield with another knife.

Click!

This loud bang was like thunder in the clear sky, and the two soldiers holding shields on the opposite side were cut in two. The four hooves of the war horse trampled on the fallen corpse and crashed directly into the crowd. For a moment, the screams rang out. Ma Wu was on the horse, wielding the nine-eared eight-ring knife and slashing the surrounding soldiers, it was really like cutting vegetables, and the crisp sound of clicking was endless. At this time, the other cavalry also came to the front of the crowd of the county army, and the cavalry in the front row stretched out

The spear that came turned a blind eye, did not dodge or dodge, and collided directly, and he and the war horse under his crotch were estimated to have been stabbed into a hornet's nest by the spear, but its powerful impact force also made the enemy in front of him shatter.

The cavalry from behind followed, thrusting their spears into the crowd. With such a dense standing formation, the cavalry spears pierced into it, and it was no longer only one person, but two or three people at once.

At the same time as the enemy soldiers in front of them fell to the ground, the cavalrymen drew their ring-headed swords one after another, urging their horses to continue to squeeze forward, while condescendingly swinging their swords and slashing. The sound of blades splitting helmets and skulls rang out one after another, and the soldiers of the county army fell to the ground in rows. Some of the pawns were not cut down at all, but were hit by their companions, but the fallen pawns never had a chance to get back on their feet, constantly

The squeezed horses trampled them to the bone, broken tendons, and their bodies were incomplete. The two sides have been fighting for less than a stick of incense, and there are less than 300 people left in a song and a county army of 500 people.

At this time, the cavalry led by Ma Wu suddenly turned around and rushed outward, and after they opened up the distance between them and the county army, the cavalry team suddenly turned around and fought back again. The army of less than 300 men had been slaughtered to pieces, and the people were so frightened that they retreated as they saw the cavalry rushing towards them. At the scene, some soldiers were still standing in place, ready to fight, while some soldiers had been frightened and kept retreating, the county army

The crowd dispersed, which left plenty of room for the cavalry to charge. The cavalry led by Ma Wu, this time it passed through the formation, from the front of the county army, and killed directly to the end in one go.

Just this one cavalry rushed down, on the battlefield, the county army of less than 300 people could hardly be found, and the corpses on the east bank were superimposed on a thick layer.

Seeing that there were two undead county soldiers struggling on the ground not far away, he urged the horse to rush over, slashing one by one, and cutting off the heads of the two county soldiers.

He stared at the blood-red eyes, looked around, and as far as his eyes could see, there was no longer a single county soldier who could still move, he shook off the blood on the nine-eared eight-ring knife, and let out a loud roar at the county ships that stopped on the river.

"Who else will come and die?"

Ma Wu's voice frightened the county soldiers on the ship, and people looked at each other, and their eyes showed horror.

"I'm Ma Wu Ma Zi Zhang! Who else will send them to death? Ma Wu carried a long knife and urged the horse to circle back and forth on the riverbank, constantly shouting: "Who else will die?" ”

"Withdraw!" Liang Qiuci, who was standing on the deck, had a gloomy and frightening face, looking at Ma Wu on the riverbank, who seemed to be possessed by a killing god, he held back for a long time and spit out such a word.

Under Liang Qiuci's order, the boats on the river turned around one after another and sailed back to the west bank in a hurry.

They didn't see how the rebels annihilated the 3,000 soldiers of the East Coast Battalion, but how Ma Wu annihilated a Qu brother, people could see it clearly.

The first round of contact between the two sides can barely be regarded as an engagement, and the second round of cavalry charging into battle, it was completely a crushing and slaughter of the cavalry against the infantry, and five hundred brothers were slaughtered in an instant, how can this battle be fought?

Even the resourceful Lu Zhi thought that this battle could not be continued.

The rebel army is gathering momentum on the opposite bank, and as soon as their own soldiers come ashore, they will have to suffer a head-on attack from the enemy, and they will not even have time to put out a decent battle formation, and how can they compete with the cavalry of others, the disadvantage is too great.

The 500 county troops sent to the shore by Liang Qiuci were cannon fodder in the whole city, and none of them ran away, but they were killed by Ma Wuyi, which also completely dispelled Liang Qiuci's desire to recapture the camp on the east coast.

The rebels have 2,000 horsemen, and now only 200 horsemen have come out, and they will kill all 500 of their own brothers, and even if all the remaining brothers go ashore, it will not be enough for others to kill.

The army of less than 6,000 soldiers, like defeated roosters, retreated to Shuyang, and was strictly guarded at the crossing of Shuyang, for fear that the counter-army on the opposite side would attack.

Liang Qiuci who returned to the Ya of Shuyang County, the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he didn't even see the main force of the rebel army in Chungling, here in Shuyang, he was wounded and lost more than 3,000 people, and the court blamed it, how did he explain it? A lieutenant said quietly: "Lord Duwei, now it is rumored in the city that Cen Peng has two hearts, passively slacking off, Yu Xinye is closed, and he is unwilling to fight with the rebels, which leads to the unscrupulous anti-army fighting in Shuyang, and next, the anti-army is afraid of it."

It's time to take Wancheng and attack the county seat! ”

"Smack!" When Liang Qiuci heard this, he slapped the table and gritted his teeth and said, "Cen Peng! Lu Zhi frowned secretly, he owed a debt, and said: "Lord Duwei, Xinye is facing the main force of the Chungling rebel army, and General Cen only defends and does not attack, which is really a helpless move." ”
