"Could it be that the cavalry under Yang Wu has returned? But it shouldn't be that fast, right? ”

If the cavalry under Yang Wu came back, there were 4,000 cavalry under his command, including 3,000 cavalry under Li Chenghe's Shatuo cavalry, and 1,000 cavalry under Hou Zhan's command. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although he still didn't understand how these cavalrymen suddenly came here, An Renyi knew that now was not the time to hesitate, and he had to respond quickly.

"Order, immediately change the formation, pikemen in front, crossbowmen in the back, form a dense formation, ready to meet the cavalry charge!"

"All departments stick to the formation, don't mess up the formation, if anyone is broken by the cavalry, don't blame the general!"

"Mingjin, let the siege soldiers withdraw first, and camp outside the city gate to prevent the defenders in the city from raiding out of the city, and as for the siege of the city, we will find a way after repelling the enemy cavalry!"

……

An Renyi gave orders again and again, if the previous speculation was true, then the enemy army might really have 4,000 cavalry, although they had tens of thousands of infantry here, but if they didn't deal with it well, they might be defeated by the enemy, or even defeated.

Although he had some regrets about giving up the upcoming victory, Zhang Hao also knew that it was an unwise choice to continue the siege at this time, so he had no choice but to give up.

With An Renyi's order, the rebels began to adjust, and groups of soldiers formed a tight formation, and their main forces began to concentrate to the west.

However, An Renyi is a general after all, although the main force is concentrated in the west, but he did not let down his vigilance in other directions, he left 2,000 soldiers under the city to prevent the defenders in the city from taking the opportunity to go out of the city and destroy the trebuchet, and left 1,000 soldiers in the south to prevent the enemy from raiding in the south, only in the north because it is impossible for the enemy army to raid from that side because it is impossible for the enemy army to attack from that side, so there are no soldiers to be arranged.

Five miles to the south, hearing the scouts coming to report the enemy's movements, Hou Zan knew that Yang Wu's plan had succeeded, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Brothers, the two hundred cavalry led by the prince have succeeded in attracting the attention of the enemy, and now is the time for us to fight! Now I order the whole army to launch a surprise attack, the goal is to destroy the trebuchet first, and if the situation is good, let us consider defeating the enemy; If the enemy reacts quickly, we will retreat immediately, do you understand? ”

"Got it!" The soldiers shouted loudly.

"Okay, follow me to kill the fuck!"

Five miles is not far for the cavalry, but the cavalry charge needs to maintain strong physical strength, if the charge is at full speed, after waiting for the five miles of land the horses will have no strength, and naturally they will not be able to rush the enemy. Therefore, Hou Zan deliberately controlled the speed of the horse, and at first advanced slowly, until he was discovered by the panicked enemy scouts, and then began to increase the speed of the horse.

The characteristics of the cavalry lie in the powerful impact and extremely fast attack speed, according to their current speed, after the scouts in the south spread their news to An Renyi, even if An Renyi immediately made adjustments, it would not be possible to react so quickly, not to mention that there were suspicious soldiers led by Yang Wu in the west, they would definitely not dare to immediately transfer the main force to the south, so it didn't matter if they were discovered by An Renyi's scouts at this time.

The cavalry charge required a certain distance, and the terrain was very restrictive. Previously, they had hidden in a wood, but when they approached a mile from the battlefield, the cavalry entered a large meadow, which was the perfect terrain for the cavalry assault.

"Full speed assault, full speed assault!"

After entering the grassland, his vision suddenly became wider, and Hou Zan saw at a glance that the main force of the rebels was still in the west, and in the south, the rebels in front of their assault only left a thousand infantry, forming two dense phalanxes to cover the flanks of the enemy, as for the trebuchet, there were not many soldiers guarding at this time, and they did not form a formation.

Hou Zan noticed that in the dense infantry phalanx in front of him, those soldiers were veterans who had followed An Renyi for many years, well-trained, and although they were pale in the face of the impact of the eight hundred cavalry, and there was some commotion in the formation, they regained their stability with the orders of the officers.

"Go around and destroy the trebuchet first!"

Hou Zan did not hesitate, and immediately ordered a detour, facing the enemy infantry in a tight formation, it was often difficult for the cavalry to gain an advantage, and their goal was the trebuchet, as long as the trebuchet was destroyed, their goal would be achieved.

With Hou Zhan's order, the eight hundred cavalry quickly changed direction on the galloping fast horse, which means that Hou Zhan's cavalry is well-trained to do this, if the training is slightly worse, this change of direction will lead to confusion in themselves.

In the center of the rebel array, seeing the eight hundred cavalry led by Hou Zan suddenly come out and enter the battlefield like a whirlwind, An Renyi couldn't help but be shocked.

"It's not good, you've been fooled, the enemy target is those Suzhou artillery! The enemy cavalry to the west must have attracted the attention of our troops! ”

But at this time, it was too late to adjust the formation, not to mention that Wang Xiaoliu had reported that thousands of cavalry had been killed before the west, although because there was not even the slightest movement in the west, he wondered if the west was deliberately luring his attention, but he did not dare to turn the main force back to the south.

After all, it is the easiest to make trouble when transferring the formation, and now although the enemy army in the west has not yet been killed, who can say whether the enemy army is using the 800-man cavalry in the south as a bait to attract his main force to the south again, and then kill the main cavalry from the west, and then the whole army will be finished.

"General Zhang, take your people to encircle and suppress this enemy cavalry that has come in, remember to keep the formation tight, and don't give the enemy a chance to take advantage of!"

"The last general understands, this is what to do!" Zhang Hao is also a general who has been fighting for many years, and he still knows the most basic principles of fighting cavalry, but if the infantry has to maintain a formation against the cavalry, the speed will naturally slow down.

Before Zhang Hao's people could rush back, the eight hundred cavalry had already smashed into the soldiers guarding the trebuchet like a gust of wind, these cavalry had been accelerating continuously, and the speed had reached the maximum at this time, and the impact was the strongest, just in the moment of contact, it was like a group of tigers killing into a flock, cutting down the rebel soldiers one by one.

"Run! I can't resist it! ”

Where did the rebel soldiers withstand this kind of impact, they were sent to operate and guard the trebuchet, because their combat skills were weak, and at this time, in the face of the slashing of the cavalry, they were immediately beaten to cry and cry for their mother, and they only hated why their father and mother did not give them a pair of wings.

Dispersing the surrounding soldiers, Hou Zan found that Zhang Hao was leading his subordinates to rush over in the enemy's main array, and the 1,000 soldiers they had bypassed before in the south also turned around at this time and prepared to encircle the enemy, plus the 2,000 enemy troops under the city also turned around, knowing that they could not stay for a long time at this time, they hurriedly ordered the destruction of the trebuchet.

The cavalrymen took out the oil bags hanging on their horses and poured the oil on the trebuchets, which were all wooden structures, and when they were poured oil, they ignited and the fire could not be extinguished in a short time.
