Chapter 224: We Must Enter!
Just when Yang Zaixing successfully killed the supreme general of this Jinliao cavalry, in the distance, Yang Rong personally led 2,000 cavalry to finally arrive, and cooperated with a group of super powerful Jinyi guards and Hou Rebuke to kill this Jinliao cavalry and defeat.

More than 2,600 enemies were killed, and only a few cavalry escaped back, while the soldiers on Liu Chen's side lost less than 500, which was a big victory.
At the moment, after cleaning up the battlefield, Liu Chen, Yang Zaixing, Yang Rong and others returned to the camp as class teachers.
Back in the camp, when everyone knew what Yang Zaixing had done, no one did not admire him, and because Yang Zaixing was a strong man in the innate realm, it was even more respectable.
At that moment, Liu Chen ordered Yang Zaixing to be awarded the rank of colonel of the Han Army, and told Yang Zaixing that as long as he could bring out 5,000 people, he would give him the position of battalion commander, if he could bring out 15,000 people, he would give him the position of regiment commander, and if he could bring out 50,000 people, he would give him the position of division commander.
Yang Zaixing did not refuse Liu Chen's appointment, he himself is a soldier of Beiping County, and Beiping County is now Liu Chen's fief, so Yang Zaixing belongs to Liu Chen's subordinates, although Yang Zaixing is a little unclear about the rank of the Han army that Liu Chen said, but he still agreed.
The rank of colonel, which is a military rank that can only be owned by the regiment commander in the Han army, but now it is directly awarded to Yang Zaixing, in fact, according to Yang Zaixing's strength, it is to award him the rank of major general or lieutenant general, and no one in the Han army will say anything, but Liu Chen has Liu Chen's thoughts, after all, Yang Zaixing is a newcomer, and he is too high, and some veterans will inevitably have some gossip, besides, Liu Chen believes that with Yang Zaixing's strength and ability, it won't take long for him to improve himself.
After destroying the enemy's more than 2,000 cavalry, Liu Chen also ordered that all soldiers need to be in a state of combat readiness and ready to fight at any time, because he was not sure whether the enemy would take the initiative to attack, and Liu Chen and Han Shizhong continued to study the enemy's strategy.
Another two days have passed, and the strategy of breaking the enemy has not yet come up, that is, there is new news that there is the defense line of Beiping County, Yue Fei and Zhang Xian led 20,000 troops to approach Pinggu, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance sent 30,000 cavalry to meet the enemy, this news shocked Liu Chen and others!
The news has already come out from Beiping County, Yue Fei and Zhang Xian only led 20,000 foot soldiers into the army, and the cavalry only had a few hundred, if they encountered 30,000 cavalry attacks in such a wilderness, after all, they suffered heavy losses, no matter what Liu Chen and they thought, they all knew that they could not be indifferent, they could not watch Yue Fei and Zhang Xian and others being attacked by the Jin army.
Immediately, Liu Chen gave the order, and the whole army was mobilized, and now it can only respond to all changes with the same, and the battlefield is improvised.
"Lord, in fact, we don't need to worry about Brother Yue and Zhang Xian." On the march, Yang Zaixing and Liu Chen rode side by side, and Yang Zaixing said confidently to Liu Chen.
"Oh? Why is that? Liu Chen said that he was puzzled, 20,000 foot soldiers against 30,000 cavalry in the field, this is definitely not a happy thing.
After Yang Zaixing came under Liu Chen's command, he gradually understood the existence of the Han army, and even the title of Liu Chen became the lord, only to hear him smile and say: "Lord, you don't know, because we lack war horses, so the cavalry has always been our shortcoming, in view of this, the old general Zong and Brother Yue have not studied how to break the cavalry with steps, I don't know the specifics, but I know that even if the enemy has 30,000 cavalry, and Brother Yue will not be able to please them!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Chen was slightly happy in his heart, and then thought that there seemed to be a record in the history of the Chinese world that Yue Fei's Yue family army was proficient in breaking through riding with steps, and in this way, Liu Chen also felt a little relieved.
"Having said that, but we can't be careless, let's take one step at a time, if it really doesn't work, we can only fight a tough battle!" Liu Chen said categorically.
The situation was more urgent than Liu Chen thought, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance seemed to have expected Liu Chen's side to advance, and overnight, in the direction of approaching Pinggu City, a fortification was built to block the footsteps of Liu Chen's army.
Looking at the two-meter-high earthen wall made of mounds of earth in the distance, Liu Chen's face was gloomy: "I really didn't expect that the enemy's movements were so fast, what did our Hou Reprimand do?" With such a big project, is it possible that no one notices? ”
In front of the army was an earthen wall about a mile long, and on either side was a higher hill, and looking at the battle flags fluttering on it, you didn't have to think about it to know that there must also be enemy defenders on this hill.
In the face of Liu Chen's questioning, Han Shizhong, Yang Rong, Situ Jiannan, Xiahou Ying and others did not speak, and they were also angry in their hearts, because such a big siege could not be completed in an instant, but there was no news coming back, and now it blocked the march of the army!
"The lord is worry-free, the last general is willing to lead an elite army to break the enemy!" Yang Zaixing said loudly.
Looking at Yang Zaixing, Liu Chen shook his head and said: "Don't be reckless, such a low earthen wall naturally can't stop the army, but what happens after the earthen wall, we don't know anything, the Three Kingdoms Alliance can march all the way to the border of Hebei, which is enough to show that they can't be underestimated!" ”
"Lord, let the last general go!" Xiahou Ying opened his mouth at this time and said, "The soldiers of the Marine Battalion often have training to attack fortified positions, and within an hour, the final general will definitely defeat the enemy army!" ”
"Lord, let's go to our Praetorian Guard Battalion, the Praetorian Guard Battalion has heavy infantry, and the defense is amazing, even if the enemy army has any ambushes, we can support one or two, and after the investigation is clear, it will also be convenient for the Lordship to attack!" Situ Jiannan also began to ask for battle.
Xiahou Ying and Situ Jiannan asked for battle, and before Liu Chen could say anything, on the other hand, Han Shizhong and Yang Rong also asked for battle, and in the bottom of their hearts, they really didn't pay much attention to this earthen wall in front of them.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Chen said, "Xiahou Baby! ”
"The last general!" Xiahou Ying replied.
"You can lead the Marine Battalion to attack!" Liu Chen ordered.
"The last general commands!" Xiahou Ying hugged his fists, and then rode his horse in the direction of the land battalion, he was about to mobilize the soldiers to prepare for the attack.
"Li Yu!" Liu Chen shouted.
"The last general!" In the first battle of Muyuan, Liu Chen found that Li Yu was very good when he commanded the archers, so this time when he entered Beiping, he also asked him to come over from Zhang Shuye's side.
"The last general!" Li Yu walked out from behind Han Shizhong, bowed to Liu Chen and said.
"Lead two thousand crossbowmen to follow Xiahou Ying closely, as for how to do it, you can consider it!" Liu Chen said directly.
"Yes!" Li Yu responded, and then began to prepare.
Seeing that the army battalion and the archer phalanx began to change, Liu Chen also said to the others: "Order all the soldiers to prepare for battle, once they break through the defense in front of them, the whole army will accelerate their march!" ”
"I'll do as I was told!" Han Shizhong, Yang Rong, Yang Zaixing and others responded loudly. (To be continued.) )
