Chapter 422: Losing the Car and Protecting the Commander
When he heard the tremor of the earth, Yan Liangwen Chou and Xiahou Yuan's expressions became solemn, they were all people who had led the cavalry army for a long time, just listening to this tremor, you could know the approximate number of horses, I am afraid that it was no less than 50,000, and after the enemy cavalry came into sight, it was immediately determined that this was the Xiliang and Baima Second Battalion under the command of Zhao Zilong, Huaxiong Yan Gang and the two of them were extremely experienced, and the timing of this cavalry attack was also very accurate.
The more in the moment of crisis can test the quality of an excellent general, Yan Liangwen Chou and Xiahou Yuan at this time showed the ability to not be surprised, in the face of the enemy's huge impact momentum, the only correct response is to face the head-on, although in this way the other party still has the advantage of impact, but they can also avoid the immediate collapse, the lesser of two evils, this sentence is simple to say, but it is not easy to respond in that kind of situation when the time is instantaneous, almost at the same moment, The three teams have completed the turn and are heading up.
The battlefield has always been a place for a man's husband to show his ambitions, the two armies face each other, fight to the death, and you can enjoy your pride and blood and courage here; And the duel between the cavalry has brought this trait to the limit, just watching the tens of thousands of war horses galloping and rushing into one place can make people's blood boil. Seeing that the cavalry on the opposite side could forcibly turn towards them in the impact, Hua Xiong and Yan Gang nodded secretly in their hearts, if they were in this situation, I am afraid that the attack was also the only choice, but as far as the battle between the cavalry was concerned, they had already taken the lead, and in the case of the similar command ability of the generals on both sides, this advantage was enough to turn into a victory! In fact, if they go out a little later, it will be a better time to wait for Yan Liang and the cavalry of Yan Liang and others to get closer to Xu Huang's Longxiang battalion, but the reason why it can create this advantageous situation is that Xu Huang is also a dangerous move, and the grasp of this timing is only a millimeter, if the Jizhou cavalry breaks through the Longxiang battalion formation and entangles with it, although the cavalry led by Huaxiong Yangang still has an advantage, Xu Huang's loss will be great.
The advantage of impact power was undoubtedly revealed in the first round of collisions, before Huaxiong Yan Gang and both of them fine-tuned the formation in their own camp according to the formation of the opponent's attack, since they were in the first hand, they had to play it to the limit, if they could completely defeat the cavalry in front of them again, all Liu Yijun who entered Jizhou did not receive the scruples of the surprise attack, even if they paid heavy casualties, they did not hesitate, although there was no discussion, but the tacit understanding between them was full.
The Xiliang battalion in the iron cavalry battalion is second only to the heavy cavalry battalion led by Zhao Yun in terms of impact, but the staying power is still excessive, as soon as they come into contact, they rely on the strong impact force to break into the enemy formation, the earth-shattering shouts sounded at the same time the knights on the front line of the Jizhou cavalry army have fallen off their horses, in this kind of contest of thousands of troops and horses, generals like Hua Xiong and Yan Liangwen Chou will be dragged to the end, the command of the battle array is their duty, no matter how strong the force is in the chaotic situation, it is difficult to protect everything.
Different from the Xiliang battalion's charge forward, Yan Gang's white horse battalion is another style, they quickly dispersed from the flank to give the opponent great damage with bows and arrows after approaching the enemy, the predecessor of the white horse battalion was the white horse righteous servant of Gongsun Zhan Wei Zhen alien race, and later merged with the light cavalry battalion, that is, in the strong iron cavalry battalion, they are also well-deserved first, this specialty makes them can gain a greater advantage when the opponent is also cavalry, When the princes discussed Dong, Huaxiong and Fan Chou led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to ambush Sun Jian, the tiger of Jiangdong, and won a great victory, besieged it on the lonely mountain, Sun Ce rode out alone to ask for help, Liu Yi went to the rescue, there was a big battle between the Iron Cavalry Battalion and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry at that time, and the cavalry of the Light Cavalry Battalion shone brightly, so that the opponent could not advance or retreat. Coincidentally, the opponents of the day are now comrades in the Iron Cavalry Battalion, and knowing each other makes them even more powerful together!
If it is a tie, the Jizhou cavalry led by General Yan Wener will not be inferior to Xiahou Yuan's tiger and leopard cavalry, but the situation on both sides is not like this at this time, the second battalion of Xiliang White Horse not only has the advantage in impact, but most of the Jizhou cavalry is still entangled with Xu Huang's Longxiang battalion at this time, that is, they are also inferior in numbers, so that the situation is even more inclined to the Youzhou cavalry, and the thousands of cavalry troops in the vanguard have been completely dispersed by the Xiliang battalion at this time!
However, the second general Yan Wen is finally a very person, this forward thousands of cavalry can be said to be deliberately done by them, so that the momentum and sharpness of the Xiliang battalion will also fall back slightly after the defeat of the enemy, the second general deliberately widened the distance from the striker is for this reason, with the addition of the Xiahou Yuan cavalry, although they are still at a disadvantage in the cavalry battle at this time, they are not completely powerless. This is the fact that the battlefield is ruthless, just like a game of chess, when you are in a desperate situation, you should give up, when you give up, you will give up, and you will abandon it like abandoning your shoes! The so-called poisonous snake devouring strong man who breaks his wrist as a general must be ruthless at a critical moment, even if the loss of these thousands of cavalry makes the hearts of both of them bleed!
At the same time, the cavalry troops who were assaulting the formation of the Longxiang battalion also retreated, they occupied the advantage of mobility, even Xu Huang was helpless, but at this time he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, the impact of the 30,000 cavalry on the plain was not trivial, even with the power of the Longxiang battalion and sufficient preparation, it would be difficult to fight against it for a long time, if Huaxiong and Yan Gang came too late, even if they could still support it, they didn't know how many loyal and brave soldiers would fall under their command.
After the cavalry of Huaxiong and Yan Gang was able to block, General Yan Wener and Xiahou Yuan were under the command of the command and fought and retreated, and several teams of men and horses who broke away from the Longxiang camp did not rush up to reinforce them, but slowly retreated to the city of Liyang, at this time the cavalry of both sides has been strangled together, even if they rush forward, it is difficult to reverse the situation in front of them, it is better to retreat back to Liyang City to preserve strength, with the current terrain the enemy army wants to outflank themselves and also have to take care of the arrow rain at the head of the city, as long as they can withdraw a certain distance, It was Huaxiong Yan Gang and the others who wanted to step forward and had to guard against the 30,000 Jizhou cavalry that reorganized the formation, and at that time they would not have the advantage they have now, if the other party fought to the death, maybe they could still rely on the momentum of the battle with Liyang to turn defeat into victory!
In such a disadvantageous situation, General Yan Wen can still make accurate judgments in a short period of time, and do not let go of the fighters that may appear at any time, he is indeed a famous general, if he changes the general opponent, it is really possible to fall into their plan to lose the car and protect the commander, but whether it is Hua Xiong of the Xiliang Battalion or Yan Gang of the White Horse Battalion, he has already seen the enemy's intentions when he saw the enemy put on this formation. The way of using troops, do not blindly use the strong, otherwise not only will it be difficult to achieve the expected goal, success or failure may be reversed in an instant, they don't want to seize the opportunity to completely annihilate the opponent's powerful mobile force, but it is really due to the existence of Liyang City and the fact that the other party sees the opportunity very quickly, they already know in their hearts that they can no longer achieve this effect, and attacking Jiancheng with the power of cavalry is not asking for trouble? However, even if the other party wins, the considerable price cannot be avoided.
At this time, the situation on the battlefield Xiliang White Horse Second Battalion is like a lion that has tightly bitten its prey, constantly biting off the opponent's meat piece by piece with its fangs and sharp teeth, and all the prey can do is to drop one leg or two to save his life! The generals on both sides are well aware of this, Yan Wen and the others want to try to minimize losses, while the second general Huayan is just the opposite.
Gao Gan's mood also fell from the peak to the bottom with the change of the battlefield situation, but he didn't expect that his well-planned strategy to lure the enemy would be calculated by the opponent! But he also had to pack up his mood and cooperate with the movements of the cavalry under the city, the archers at the head of the city lined up in a strict formation, and once the enemy cavalry entered the firing range, they would immediately strike, as for Xu Huang's mood at this time, all he had to do was to wait and see what happened.
After a fierce battle, nearly 6,000 cavalry casualties were paid, and General Yan Wener and Xiahou Yuan finally led the remnants of the army to retreat to Liyang City as they wished, and almost before the maximum range of the arrows of the defenders at the head of the city, Hua Xiong and Yan Gang also ordered to stop the pursuit, which made Gao Gan grit his teeth but helpless!
