Chapter Seventy-Four: The Defeat of the Soldiers and Horses of Quyang County

Shen Jin and Ma Peng, two cavalry generals under Zhang Ding's command, led nearly 900 rogue cavalry to set off from the rogue camp outside Cangyuan City, and traveled all the way south along the official road for only a dozen miles, and saw a team under the banner of the official army, and this team was the reinforcement army from Quyang County. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The first is the 2,000 soldiers and horses sent by Quyang County itself, and the soldiers and horses with more people in the back are the teams under Liu Ji's command, Liu Ji's team and the soldiers and horses of Quyang County are separated by a distance of about three miles, mainly because there are too many carriages in Liu Ji's team, which affects the speed of the march, and Li Guan, the leader of the support army in Quyang County, saw that Cangyuan City was getting closer and closer, so he ordered his soldiers and horses to speed up the advance, so that the two teams gradually pulled away to three miles away.

Seeing a large number of cavalry in front, Li Guan, the leading captain of Quyang County, knew that this must be the cavalry of Liukou, so he immediately ordered to stop the advance and let thousands of foot soldiers hurry to the front to line up in battle.

Li Guan planned that as long as the infantry battle formation temporarily blocked the Liukou cavalry for a moment, he could lead more than 300 cavalry under his command to attack the flank of the Liukou cavalry from both sides of the infantry battle formation and crush the oncoming Liukou cavalry.

Behind the more than 300 cavalry were dozens of carriages loaded with supplies carried by Quyang County's soldiers and horses, as well as the remaining nearly 700 foot soldiers, of which less than half of the nearly 700 foot soldiers belonged to the soldiers, and more than half belonged to the auxiliary soldiers.

Shen Jin, the general of the Liukou cavalry, couldn't help but sneer when he saw the infantry battle formation of the officers and soldiers in front of him, his left hand controlled the reins of the war horse, and his right hand holding the iron spear waved forward, and he rushed towards the somewhat messy infantry phalanx with nearly nine hundred Liukou cavalry without hesitation.

"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! Hold off the rogue cavalry! A marquis in command of the archers in the infantry battle array shouted loudly to nearly a hundred archers.

Immediately, nearly 100 arrows were shot at the Liukou cavalry, but the nearly 100 archers in the infantry battle array only had the opportunity to fire three arrows, although the archers brought some losses to the Liukou cavalry, but the losses were not large, and the Liukou cavalry of the brigade, under the leadership of the two Liukou generals, quickly crashed into the infantry battle array.

The front row of the infantry battle array erected a rectangular shield more than one meter high, and a spear was also stretched out between the shields, but the several horses in front of the rogue cavalry were fierce and abnormal, and they directly controlled the war horse and hit the shield in front.

These foot soldiers in Quyang County were basically recruited by Zhao Hanzhi, the county commander of Quyang County, and the powerful families of Quyang County after the Great Jin Dynasty promulgated the will of the state pastor, Taishou, and the county order to form a local army.

The battle formation composed of thousands of infantry soldiers in Quyang County collapsed in an instant, and the Liukou cavalry continued to kill the more than 300 cavalry in Quyang County while slashing and killing the fleeing Quyang County infantry soldiers.

Li Guan, the leading captain of Quyang County, ordered the nearly 700 foot soldiers guarding the carriage behind him to form a battle formation again, and then prepared to take more than 300 cavalry to meet the cavalry of Liukou, at this time a captain from a wealthy family in Quyang County persuaded: "Captain Li, there are many Liukou cavalry, it is better to let the cavalry of Captain Liu Ji come to support as soon as possible!" ”

Li Guan snorted coldly and said: "When that Liu Ji's cavalry comes to support, the defeated foot soldiers in front have already crushed us, then the Liukou cavalry will defeat our support army in Quyang County without much effort!" All the cavalry obeyed the orders of the captain, bypassed the defeated foot soldiers from the right, and killed the rogue cavalry with the captain! ”

Immediately, more than 300 cavalry from Quyang County, under the leadership of Li Guan, bypassed the defeated foot soldiers and directly killed the flank of the Liukou cavalry.

Seeing that the official cavalry bypassed the defeated officers and soldiers, Ma Peng, the general of the Liukou cavalry, immediately made a gesture, and then led nearly half of the Liukou cavalry, suddenly gave up the pursuit of the official army's foot soldiers, and turned around to meet more than 300 cavalry in Quyang County, and soon the two cavalry collided together, and the screams and neighing of horses resounded.

Li Guan had just hacked to death a rogue cavalryman, and he met Ma Peng, the general of the rogue cavalry, and the weapons in both of them were iron broadswords, and then the two fought in one place.

Li Guan's martial arts value has reached the level of a third-rate general, but Ma Peng's martial arts are not weaker than Li Guan's at all, and the two of them are inseparable.

The more than 300 cavalry in Quyang County are basically the original family members of the county commander Zhao Hanzhi and the powerful families in Quyang County, and they are not newly recruited.

As for the other more than 300 rogue cavalry, under the leadership of several leaders, they continued to pursue and kill the infantry of Quyang County, and the Quyang County infantry who fled had already broken down another battle formation hastily formed by nearly 700 soldiers and auxiliaries in front of the carriage, and the battle formation in front of the carriage did not even play any role, and collapsed on its own, and the nearly 700 soldiers and auxiliaries who formed the battle formation also turned around and fled back together with the soldiers who had been defeated before.

If there is only this army of soldiers and horses in Quyang County, then under the attack of the cavalry of Liukou, such a situation is undoubtedly defeated, but Quyang County is not only this army of soldiers and horses this time, but there are also thousands of soldiers and horses that Quyang County ordered Zhao Hanzhi to spend a lot of money to hire Liu Ji.

Liu Ji later learned that a group of nearly 1,000 cavalry from Liukou rushed towards Quyang County, and immediately sent Hua Xiong and Cheng Yi to lead 200 of the most elite cavalry to support the team in Quyang County.

By the time Hua Xiong and Cheng Yi arrived from behind with two hundred cavalry, all the infantry in Quyang County had collapsed, and the cavalry in Quyang County was also on the verge of collapse.
