Chapter 120: Luring the Enemy into Battle, Fewer Enemies and More Enemies
In the first battle of Zengtou City, the Liangshan army won a complete victory.
At the cost of less than 30 casualties, he annihilated more than 200 horsemen, beheaded Zeng Tu, the eldest of the five tigers of the Zeng family, Zeng Mi, the second one, captured the third Zeng Suo, and seriously injured Su Ding and Zeng Sheng.
However, Lin Chong did not become complacent, but after the battle, he sprayed at all the cavalry soldiers who participated in the battle.
"When you train on weekdays, you birds can't wait to grow into the sky with your eyes, and you all think you're quite capable, and you think you're pretty good, but you were slapped in the face today.
Six hundred crossbow arrows only hit more than sixty horsemen, and the hit rate was one-tenth, isn't it a shame?
And your 800 cavalry, chasing their ass and shooting, but the hit rate is only a little more than 10%.
With such a level of riding and archery, what can I do in the future when I encounter a raw female Tartar who can fight ten Liao dogs with one enemy and ten Liao dogs......"
After spraying for a while, these cavalry soldiers blushed and had thick necks, and they patted their chests and said that they would definitely go back to practice riding and archery, and they would never embarrass the Liangshan Army next time.
"Brother of the military master, in fact, it's not that we don't train hard, it's just that the foundation of these people is too poor, and besides, we don't have a master of archery skills in our army to teach ......."
"I know, it's just an opportunity to knock them down and stimulate their fighting spirit."
Lin Chong nodded, turned his head and asked Du Yan, "Are Shi Qiante's subordinates back?" My senior brother (Lu Zhishen): Where have they been? ”
Du Yan was a little excited, nodded and said, "Come back, Master Lu, they are now less than thirty miles away from Zengtou City, and they can arrive this afternoon!" ”
"No one has been spotted along the way, has he?"
"No, we are all wearing the robes of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, and we are also under the banner of the Yunzhou Forbidden Army, and the people along the way have never been suspicious."
Lin Chong's fingers rhythmically tapped the arm armor of his right hand, if he still relied on the advantage of the traverser before, everything was in his own calculations, and he easily won the first battle.
Then the next thing is a hard-fought competition, plus the 1,000 newly surrendered cavalry commanded by Zhang Qing on his side, it is only less than 2,700 together; The opposing cavalry, on the other hand, had four thousand, and most likely all of them were dispatched.
With 2,700 to 4,000 horsemen, the cavalry of Liangshan is higher than the cavalry, and I don't know how many girls are real cavalry, who wins and who loses, it is really very dangerous.
In fact, Lin Chong has a safer choice, that is, to wait for the arrival of the infantry led by Lu Zhishen, and coordinate the infantry and cavalry, arrow array, shield array, spear array, and iron-clad heavy axe soldiers to break the enemy.
However, in this way, the battle will definitely have to be fought for a long time, in case Zengtou City is stubbornly waiting for reinforcements, and the imperial army is attacked from several sides, the variables are too great;
Moreover, the Liangshan cavalry can always grow into a truly strong army without going through the tempering of a tough battle.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Chong glanced at Du Yan, Li Tianyan, Zhang Qing and other generals, only to see that there seemed to be flames burning in the eyes of several people, and all of them were extremely strong.
Anyway, since they all have such confidence and strong fighting spirit, what reason do you have not to believe them?
At that moment, Lin Chong looked into the eyes of several people and said, "Do you have confidence in this tough battle below?" ”
"Why not? We can't wait! ”
The first to express his stance was Du Yan, who saw that the young heroic general's face seemed to be shining, his eyes were full of confidence and eagerness, and he said loudly:
"Fight in the south of Zengtou City, attack the Jurchen Tartars in front of Xiaotugang, charge with heavy horses, and break the enemy's elite in one battle!"
Li Tianyan also said loudly: "Our cavalry field battalion is responsible for luring the enemy, retreating while fighting, and ensuring that this group of Jurchen Tartars will be lured to the established location!" ”
Teng Huan, Bian Xiang, Luan Tingyu, and Zhang Qing also said loudly: "Brother Warlord, let's fight!" I promise to complete the mission, as long as this group of Jurchen Tartars dares to go out of the city and fight! ”
Lin Chong didn't hesitate any longer, stretched out his right hand, and said loudly: "Okay, then fight!" Isn't the Jurchen Tartar the best at riding and fighting?
This time, we're going to slap them in the face in the horse combat they do best! Call these Jurchen Tartars, when they see the figure of our Liangshan Iron Cavalry in the future, they will only turn around and run away, and they will no longer have the courage to fight with us! ”
"Liang Shanjun, Wan Sheng!"
"Liang Shanjun, Wan Sheng!"
Several people slammed their palms on Lin Chong's hands and said loudly, their eyes almost glowing.
"Let's all go and prepare, the Beiwei cavalry began to prepare armor, and the instructors of each battalion began to mobilize before the battle, and called Teng Ji Bar Zeng Suoti to come over......"
When the Liangshan Army took urgent action, there was another miserable scene in Zengtou City.
Not long ago, Shi Wengong, Su Ding, and Zeng Kui withdrew to the city with less than six hundred remnants of the defeated army.
When Zeng got the news he brought, he immediately cried in pain, beat his chest, and almost lost his breath.
At this time, Zeng Sheng, who was escorted back to the city almost at the same time as Zeng Kui, was simply drugged and bandaged, and he was also furious at this time, gritting his teeth and just ordering all the soldiers and horses to avenge the two brothers!
"It's all you and me, too cautious, but it hurt my two brothers!
In my opinion, this group of Liangshan bandits is only a lot of fierce generals, but the cavalry is all waste; We have four thousand Jurchen knights who grew up on horseback.
What more will the four thousand be tempted than their two thousand? Just lead the troops to press over, if this is the case, the two brothers will not die! ”
Zeng Sheng shouted, just to avenge his brother, Zeng Kui and the others couldn't stop it, so they listened to Shi Wengong's advice: "The little general wants to avenge the two elder brothers, but don't forget, your third brother is still in the hands of the Liangshan thieves." ”
Zeng Sheng had nothing to say for a while, but he was so angry that he kept hammering the table to vent the anger in his heart.
After crying bitterly, he gradually came to his senses, and after thinking about it, he discussed with Shi Wengong: "We don't have any grudges with the Liangshan army, and the matter is all because of taking their horses.
It is better to write a letter to ask for peace, showing that you are willing to return the war horses of the Liangshan army that you have taken, compensate for their losses, and rescue San Lang first before making plans!
Thinking that his Liangshan army had taken many good horses from my Zengtou City before, and there was no loss in today's battle, Liangshanjun's tone was also calculated......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps outside, and two henchmen cavalry officers ran in and said, "The master of the family, the army of Liangshan thieves and Kou came to the entrance of Zengtou City, lined up in formation, and asked the head of the family, two junior generals and two teachers to come out to answer." ”
Zeng couldn't help but look cold, and said in his heart that he was just going to go to Liangshan Army to sue for peace, first rescue the third son and then send troops to cover up, and then took Zeng Sheng and Shi Wengong to the city.
But he saw more than 2,000 cavalry under the city lined up in seven phalanxes, which seemed to be seven battalions.
It's just that the first five battalions are almost 300 people, and they should be veterans of the Liangshan Army; The last two battalions were 500 men and horses, led by Zhang Qing, and should be the newly surrendered Yunzhou cavalry of the Liangshan Army.
In front of the cavalry formation, a group of knights embraced a majestic, leopard-headed and eyed general, wearing a Qingtang squirrel, and the mount under the crotch was also an armored horse.
Shi Wengong whispered to Zeng Lang: "This person is the leopard head forest leopard, the master of the Liangshan Army, and his martial arts are not under Shi. ”
At this time, Lin Chong urged the BMW under the city, took two steps forward and said: "I am the Liangshan Army Lin Leopard, and the Jurchen Tartars in Zengtou City heard it, hurry out of the city and surrender, spare you from death!" Otherwise, once the city is broken, you will be added with swords and arrows one by one, and your flesh and bones will be mud! ”
