Chapter 467: Battle of Liyang VI

This battle with the national soldiers of Jizhou County, it is by no means Fan Chou's intention to disrespect the military order, or what will not be subject to the foreign military order, even if he has long known that the other party is coming and has an excellent opportunity to break it, Fan Chou will not send troops to attack it, as a general, at any time to prioritize, the most important thing at this time is obviously the cavalry duel on the frontal battlefield, the victory or defeat of this battle will determine the direction of the entire Jizhou battle situation, how can Fan Chou not know, all this is just an accident.

In order to be able to contact the Bingzhou battalion in the fastest time, so that they can spend the least time to rush to the battlefield, Liu Yi specially sent Liu Liu to the Bingzhou battalion, and repeatedly told him to carefully watch the flying feathers in the air.

Fan Chou didn't know the existence of Fei Yu, and he didn't know how Liu Liu was so far away from the battlefield how he could know about the battle between the two armies, but he would not be ambiguous about the implementation of the lord's military orders, when Liu Liu was quite excited to tell him that the lord's army had successfully forced the main force of the opponent's cavalry to fight a decisive battle, Fan Chou did not hesitate to give the order for the whole army to attack.

Although it is necessary to shorten the time to go to the battlefield as much as possible, Fan Chou, who has commanded the cavalry for more than ten years, knows the importance of controlling the speed of horses, and the state battalion is by no means just to reach the battlefield, but once it arrives, it must be able to quickly put into battle.

Unbeknownst to him, he had just been running for less than half an hour, and a large group of tens of thousands of Yuan soldiers appeared in front of him, which was the 40,000 Jizhou County soldiers who were ordered to rush to the Liyang battlefield to join Yan Liangwen's ugly cavalry, and the main general was Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's brothers! The military situation did not show the appearance of the enemy's troops, Fan Chou was immediately shocked, Liu Yijun's strategies in the decisive battle were interlocking, but this team was unexpected before the war, and Fan Chou at this time immediately faced a choice.

Do you want to bypass the enemy and rush to the main battlefield, or engage them and defeat them, or disable them from joining the battle? This choice must be made in a very short period of time, the main battlefield is not waiting for anyone, but if it is a detour is time-consuming, it is even more irresponsible to let this enemy army join, and when Fan Chou marched, he was not afraid of him, the gallop of tens of thousands of war horses had already aroused the other party's idea, and it seemed that those soldiers were arranging battle formations to prepare for any unforeseen situation.

At this time, Fan Chou made up his mind to break through the enemy in front of him and then try to support the main battlefield, watching the enemy's action response is quite slow compared to the Liyang defenders, and the combat strength is not as good as it, although the terrain here is not wide and not narrow, the cavalry can also spread out the formation, this team of enemy Fan Chou is estimated to be forty or fifty thousand people, and the state battalion plus the previous consumption at this time there are more than 24,000 horsemen, such a force contrast and soldier combat power, he is confident that it will be completely defeated and repulsed.

"The whole army assaults, rushes and kills the enemy, just to defeat, not to do more entanglement!" Fan Chou, who made a decisive decision on the spot, ordered without the slightest hesitation, and under the galloping of thousands of horses, the cavalry of the state battalion rushed into the enemy formation with an indomitable momentum! Although these Jizhou soldiers are the elite selected by various counties, they can be far from the real first-line strong army of the Yuan army, and this time they were suddenly attacked, and the enemy army who was still in the future and arranged the horse rejection array had already been killed, and the advantage of the cavalry was completely displayed at this moment.

In the first battle of Sili on the same day, Liu Yi and Hua Xiong's 8,000 iron cavalry crushed the 20,000 Niu auxiliary infantry army that had not yet formed a formation on the plain, and that battle could be said to be a one-sided massacre! It also proves the unshakable superiority of the cavalry over the infantry on the wide and flat terrain! At this time, the combat power of the national soldiers of Yuan Jun County may not be comparable to that of Niu Fu's soldiers, and the number of people under Fan Chou's Bingzhou battalion is far superior to that of Huaxiong At that time, the trend of the battle situation did not change much, and the absolute advantage was still in the cavalry.

However, the terrain here is much narrower than at the beginning, and many roundabout tactics of the cavalry are difficult to use, although the Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang brothers are not named but have followed Yuan Shao for many years, and have been in the army for a long time, the only way to deal with this is to rely on the terrain to set up many obstacles to block the opponent's speed, and the simple thing is to exchange human lives for the delay of the opponent's momentum, so that there is still a glimmer of life! It was difficult for the panicked Yuan army to complete the tactical arrangement at this time, but the front width and back narrowness of this road invisibly helped the Lu brothers, and the soldiers who scattered and fled naturally blocked the road, which made the speed of the Bingzhou camp have to slow down temporarily, and the enemy army also got a moment of respite, killing hundreds of fleeing soldiers, the Yuan army finally established a relatively stable defense line, although they have paid great casualties at this time, but the Lu brothers can hold on temporarily.

If it is changed in normal times, in the face of such terrain and the dense formation of the enemy, Fan Chou will definitely not take the method of hard rushing, which will only increase the casualties of the cavalry, even if it is the exchange of losses, it must be the cavalry side, Liu Yi once calculated an account, all the expenses of training a cavalry army can train three infantry elites, this is still based on the complete security of the soldiers in Youzhou, and the cost of a cavalry in other places is worth five or six infantry troops! But at present, Fan Chou has no way to retreat, and he must not hesitate when he should give up, and he still has a little to rely on in the battle situation at this time, the will of the other party is far less strong than that of the state camp!

As a result, the casualties of the Bingzhou battalion also began to increase, but the soldiers were still fearless of the impact of the other party's tight front, and they wanted to use their lives and blood to open a passage for their later companions, this is the will to fight that only the elite division can have, under such an impact, although the Lu brothers desperately resisted, they could only watch the formation loosen step by step, at this time they still had the wish of the two generals Yan Wen to come to respond, but they did not know that the two had already fallen into a bitter battle.

If you can't start just because the enemy is mixed with your comrades, Yan Gang is not worthy of being the commander of the White Horse Battalion, and the White Horse Battalion is not the White Horse Battalion, at this time their rate of fire has been reduced, but the accuracy has been greatly improved, the archery technique in the Youzhou Great Exercise is one of the hard exercises of the White Horse Battalion soldiers, although it is impossible for everyone to have amazing archery skills like Tai Shici, but it is difficult to distinguish the body shape of the enemy and me in the chaotic army and strike at it. Their harassment greatly hindered the energy of the Jizhou Qi army, and it was too late to fight hard in the face of such a strong enemy army in front of them, how could they be distracted to deal with the precise cold arrows on the side?

The numerical superiority of the cavalry and the subtle coordination between the various divisions were reflected on the battlefield that the Iron Cavalry Battalion gradually occupied the advantage of this cavalry duel, although this advantage was not obvious at this time, but as time went by, it would be more and more reflected.

The situation is the same as the cavalry duel, at this time Liu Yi and Zhao Yun also have the upper hand in the fight with Yan Liangwen and Chou, at this time, the four of them have fought for more than 100 rounds, and the melee is different from the fighting generals on the battlefield, your energy can not be completely focused on the other party, you must be ready to guard against possible attacks around you, although it is difficult for the general soldiers to enter the range of their bodies when the four of them fight, but the hidden arrow is not in its case, so the consumption of physical strength is far more than the fighting generals on the battlefield, This is also the reason why Liu Yi's advantage over Wen Chou is not as good as Zhao Yun and Yan Liang, that day Lian Shan tried his best in the first battle, and then ran non-stop, Liu Yi's physical strength was affected after all, it was better to deal with ordinary people, but it was difficult to deal with a master of Wen Chou's level.

Originally, with Liu Yi's current state, I am afraid that he can only be equal to Wen Chou, and the reason why he can have an advantage now is because of the other party's distraction, after all, both of them are the main generals of the cavalry, even if Fan Chou and the state camp have an accident and fail to arrive on time, but Liu Yi's cavalry has an advantage after all, and he can still leave it behind and fight the enemy wholeheartedly; And if Wen Chou does not have the Jizhou reinforcements, the battle situation is in danger, and he will be slightly distracted after a long time, but he is facing Liu Yi, although he senses that the other party is not in the best state, but once he is distracted, it will be difficult to turn back the situation.

However, this battle is a battle of life and death, and the usual fighting generals are quite different, Wen Chou Yan Liang and the two began to defend wholeheartedly after the disadvantage, the battle situation will be dragged down and waiting for reinforcements is the only choice, once the main general is defeated, the gap between the two generals and Liu Yi's brothers is not big, at this time it is a steady defense, so the strength of the two can not be taken for a while, let alone dangerous moves, a negligence in the battle between the masters may cause a huge bitter fruit, Therefore, Liu Yi and Zhao Yun's tactics at this time are the same, they are all steadily suppressed.

About five miles to their left, Hua Xiong is also fighting hard in Xiahou Yuan at this time, these two people are half a catty and eight taels, their martial arts are similar, and Huaxiong's Xiliang Battalion is not under the tiger and leopard riding, but there is a small difference in numbers, but there is a white horse battalion from which the two sides are still holding each other, the difference is in the mentality, Hua Xiong has no distractions, just to defeat the enemy army in front of him, and it is best to kill the enemy general, and Xiahou Miaocai is obviously not as easy as Ziwei, he is not Yuan Shao's command, he can fight desperately for it, The tiger and leopard riding is Cao Cao's heart, and it is also average for Xiahou Yuan, but if the Jizhou cavalry is difficult to stop Liu Yi and Zhao Yun, presumably Liu Yi will never let go of the opportunity to weaken Cao Cao's strength, he still has to grasp the battle situation and then make calculations, so in the battle with Huaxiong, he gradually fell behind!

At this time, the only one who did not shoot on the battlefield was Xiahoudun and Xu Huang, at this time the cavalry had been strangled together, and the actions of the infantry army were restricted, and Xiahoudun and his brother's ideas should be the same, and it was reasonable not to shoot for a while, and although Xu Huang was eager to fight, he still focused on the overall situation after all, since Xiahoudun did not move, he also watched it change and faintly suppressed it, and the situation in front of him has begun to gradually benefit his side, even if he does not move in this battle, as long as the battle can be won, Gongming will not have any complaints.

The fierce battle has lasted for two hours, and the dust raised by the galloping horses has covered the sky, but the intensity of the fighting between the two sides has not decreased at all.
