In the snowy field, a group of cavalry roared and pounced on the Tiger Forest Army, which was waiting for the battle, and when the distance was less than a hundred paces, it suddenly divided into two teams, left and right, and rushed towards the two wings of the large array.

The spear formation of the Tiger Forest Army is not afraid of any cavalry direct impact, but in the Lingbiao guest army on the flank, it may not be.

In the cold, the soldiers of the Chen clan lined up in a formation, looking at the roaring cavalry, their faces were like white paper, and their hands holding spears and bows trembled slightly, and they didn't know whether they were frozen or frightened.

The soldiers of the Chen clan, who had never seen snow, watched a large number of cavalry rushing towards them, and said that they were not afraid that it was fake, in this endless field, once the other party broke through the formation, there was no place to run.

The terrain, the climate, and the tactics of the enemy army here have never been seen in Lingnan, and when they saw that the cavalry was about to rush in front of them, the speed did not decrease at all, and many soldiers became more and more afraid.

Watching a horse rushing towards him, as a person, his instinct was to dodge one side, let alone a large group of horses, that scene had a huge impact on the psychology of the soldiers.

Lingnan's horses are thin and small, but in front of them are tall horses, hundreds of cavalry gathered in one place, and the momentum of the charge is amazing, not to mention the strange screams of the enemy cavalry, it seems that they are about to rush over and cut everyone, which makes the archers' hearts tight.

Although some of the Governors shouted "Steady", although they knew that they would not be able to release their arrows until the Governor's order was issued, and although the enemy cavalry had not yet approached the effective killing distance, some archers could not help but let go of their hands and shot their feathered arrows.

And with the first, there will be a second, a third, and then everybody shoots the arrows.

The enemy cavalry, who had not yet entered the seventy paces distance, skillfully turned, bypassed the edge of the effective killing range of the bow and arrow, disengaged, turned around and advanced into the distance, and stopped more than a hundred paces away, neither walking nor approaching, if it did.

Tian Zhengyue, who was in the spear phalanx, looked at the friendly troops on the left and right flanks who were easily deceived by the arrows, and couldn't help but have a word in his heart, which was the three words that King Xiyang often said: "pig teammates".

In all fairness, it is not easy for infantry to fight cavalry in the plains, but as long as the formation is completed, there is no need to be afraid of the opponent in a short time, and the most important thing is that the crossbowmen must be calm and not easily deceived by others to release arrows outside the range.

The effective killing distance of the infantry bow is about seventy paces, and the effective killing distance of the riding bow is about fifty paces.

The infantry gathered together by the hedgehogs is a good target, and the arrows fired by the enemy cavalry will more or less hit the target, and the resulting casualties will make the infantry more and more panicked.

When the enemy cavalry came a few more times, the infantry formation would become more and more chaotic, and finally it would collapse, and the enemy cavalry would chase after it and slash and kill it wantonly, and the result would be corpses all over the field.

Tian Zhengyue repeatedly emphasized this truth with Feng Xuan, Chen Fozhi, and Ning Changzhen, but as soon as they went to the battlefield, the poor performance of these Lingnan guest troops really made Tian Zhengyue and other generals of the Tiger Forest Army shake their heads.

Pig teammates, what pig teammates!

More than one general of the Tiger Forest Army thought so, and it was also a loss that the enemy cavalry was only harassing and not really charging now, otherwise these Lingnan guest troops would really be finished.

The enemy cavalry hovering a hundred paces away, after several harassments, did not hesitate to withdraw to the east, Tian Zhengyue ordered the cavalry in the formation to attack, to cover for their own side, and then ordered someone to blow the horn to let the soldiers lay down their weapons and rest.

Their mission is to go out to the east of Guangcheng to build a bridge for their own reinforcements to transport baggage into the city as a cover, and by the way, confirm whether the enemy army has really retreated.

The Hulin Army is strictly the private army of the King of Xiyang, of course, it only obeys the command of the King of Xiyang, although the King of Xiyang is now besieged by the enemy in the Hanging Gourd, but the order left in advance is indeed to let the Tiger Forest Army support the Light City instead of the Hanging Gourd.

The boss had an order that Tian Zhengyue and other generals had to carry it out even if they were worried, so after finishing their vacation, they immediately crossed Dabie Mountain along Guanghuang Road and went north to support the friendly forces in Guangcheng.

The enemy army besieging Guangcheng was the army of the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion of Wei Chi, and when they saw that reinforcements had arrived, they began to confront.

Tian Zhengyue originally expected a series of fierce battles, but the other party actually took the initiative to retreat, leaving the cavalry behind, and several generals combined, thinking that there was fraud in it, so they deliberately went out to the east of Guangcheng to explore the reality of the other party.

Yangzhou Governor Prefecture Zhishouchun, in the east of Gwangju, where Guangcheng is located, the land distance between Guangcheng and Shouchun is more than 500 miles, Tian Zhengyue has insufficient cavalry at hand, and there is no way to approach the opponent's main force, so he can only watch the opponent retreat eastward.

If the other party is really retreating, it is retreating without a fight, Tian Zhengyue and other generals breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they couldn't help but wonder:

What the hell is going on? Could it be Yangzhou... No, could it be that something happened to Guangling on the edge of the Yangtze River?

Tian Zhengyue knew the current situation, Wei Chi Youqi led a large army to sit in Guangling, and there was no war or peace with Chen State in the south of the Yangtze River, and Wei Chi Youqi's army was staying in Huainan, what reason did the army of the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion have to abandon Guangcheng and go home?

Thinking about this kind of thing too much and having a headache, Tian Zhengyue decided to follow the plan, first relieve the siege of Guangcheng, gain a firm foothold at the northern foot of Dabie Mountain, and then find a way to go north and try to relieve the siege of the hanging gourd.

Tian Zhengyue knew that the enemy army besieging the Hanging Gourd was very strong, and it was the main force under the personal command of the traitor Captain Chi Dan, with many cavalry, and the other side was fighting in this plain, and his own troops were obviously at a disadvantage, and if he was not careful, he would be completely annihilated.

From Guangcheng to the north to Xuangu, the distance is about two hundred and fifty or sixty miles, and it is necessary to pass through Xizhou on the way, and Xizhou Prefecture governs Song An, and his own side has already abandoned the defense, thinking about this road to attack and defend, the difficulty is not small, Tian Zhengyue is not so optimistic.

The team is still on alert, close to Huangshui, a few miles upstream is the city of light, and dozens of miles downstream is the Huaishui into which the Huangshui flows.

It is now the middle of winter, the water level of Huangshui has dropped, it is difficult to sail, and Huaishui is not much better, without the blocking of the river, the enemy cavalry can come and go freely in the field, which is indeed a headache.

And what is even more troublesome is the friendly army, although these Lingnan guest troops have changed into sophisticated armor and wear mild winter clothes, but they are not suitable for confrontation with cavalry in the plains, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be corrected for a while.

Chen Fozhi came in a hurry, and discussed with Tian Zhengyue what to do next, the performance of the Chen clan soldiers was very poor, and he was dull as the leader, knowing that if this continued, something bad would happen sooner or later, and he wanted to make up for it.

He came to the Central Plains with his soldiers thousands of miles, not to cheat and cheat, he wanted to show some proof of ability, but the terrain and form of war in the Central Plains were different from those in Lingnan, which really made Chen Fozhi helpless.

"That's it, Chen Yuanjun, if you are free in a few days, we will have an intensive special training."
