Chapter 1243: The Western Liang Army Wins Its First Victory

To the east of Chang'an, is the Baling Tomb; To the east of Baling, is the Yumai Li Mountain of the Qinling Mountains; Further east of Lishan Mountain is Tsukasa Ling Mountain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Lishan Mountain and Tsukasa Ling Mountain face each other from east to west, and the relatively flat land of more than ten miles is the only passage for the Luoyang army to transport supplies.

As an ambush place, although the span of more than ten miles is slightly open, it is also conducive to the advance and retreat of the Xiliang cavalry.

Importantly, this place is close to Baling, so if there is an accident, the ambush force can quickly retreat.

General Xiliang Xin Wenli is quite proficient in the art of war, and he raised troops to this point, preparing to ambush the Luoyang army for supplies.

Scouts kept coming and going, reporting on the movements of the Luoyang army. Xin Wenli was not at ease, so he went to investigate in person.

To the northeast, the Luoyang army came slowly.

Judging from the number of banners, the Luoyang army is twice as large as its own. However, the Luoyang army wants to protect the grain and grass, and it is mainly based on foot soldiers, and they are all elite light cavalry, so they can fight!

The Luoyang army was neatly arranged, and Xin Wenli secretly praised the enemy's well-trained, with a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes, carefully observing the opponent's weaknesses.

"The place where the enemy's vanguard and the Chinese army are connected is the weakest, and they will be chaotic. Each department prepares, listens to a certain order, and attacks in separate ways. The enemy army is overwhelming, just trying to disrupt the enemy army, and not to be deeply entangled, understand?! ā€

"No!"

……

The Luoyang army was getting closer and closer, Xin Wenli tightened his armor, lifted the iron lance, raised it high, and swung it forward vigorously!

"Attack!"

With a flick of the reins, the golden-eyed camel threw off its stride, and the eight horses rushed out first!

"Kill!"

The heaven-shattering roar, like thunder on the ground. Thousands of light horses, running wildly.

The storm is flying, the sand and dust are rolling, like a wall of wind and sand, and it rolls straight towards the Luoyang army!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ā€

The terrain was open, and the Luoyang army found anomalies from afar.

Brother Shuhan, the general of the Luoyang Army, shouted loudly: "Don't panic! The whole team! Protect the grain and grass and prepare for battle! ā€

Encountering an enemy attack, the outer guard of the Luoyang Army immediately rushed to meet the enemy.

The eight horses will take the lead in the new Wenli, and the iron force is heavy, and its courage is unstoppable by ordinary people. In an instant, several Luoyang army generals died tragically under the iron lance.

"All departments, whole teams! Somebody go to meet the enemy! ā€

Ge Shuhan commanded, brandished the full moon knife, and rushed straight up!

Seeing that the enemy was coming, Xin Wenli immediately got rid of the entanglement and waved his lance to fight Ge Shuhan.

The two fierce generals, in general mind, want to kill the enemy general and quickly judge the winner or loser.

The iron square is full of tigers and tigers, and the moves are fatal.

The full moon knife path is cold and light, and the style is tricky.

The two generals were eager to win, but they didn't expect that the opponent would be so tough. After a long time of fierce fighting, it is difficult for anyone to take advantage of it!

On the vast battlefield, shouts of killing came and went.

The Luoyang army was well-trained, and when it was suddenly attacked by the enemy, it immediately gathered together. It's just that the team stretched for several miles, and under the impact of the elite light cavalry of the Xiliang Army, it was really difficult to concentrate for a while.

The Xiliang Army had already prepared and dispersed into a number of cavalry teams to attack the weak points of the various departments of the Luoyang Army.

People shouted and neighed, the shouts shook the sky, and the two armies killed in the dark!

The Luoyang army was attacked by surprise and was at a disadvantage. Although its momentum is weak, its array is not chaotic. The Western Legion has always regarded the Xiliang Cavalry as an imaginary enemy, and has been practicing all year round, and has already practiced various tactics against the wind.

It was difficult for the large army to assemble for a while, so they fought separately with their own troops. Or dozens, or one or two hundred, leaning on pack horses, swords, shields, spears, bows and crossbows cooperate with each other to defend against the enemy.

The Xiliang army rushed in, and the Luoyang infantry used the big shield as the wall and the spear pierced, making it difficult for the Xiliang army to attack closely.

If the Xiliang army retreated far away and fired, the Luoyang infantry would cover with a large shield and return fire with bows and crossbows. The Luoyang infantry are equipped with longbows and strong crossbows, and the range is longer than that of the lighter cavalry archers. The two sides shot at each other, and it was difficult for the Xiliang light cavalry to take any advantage.

The Luoyang army also had a small group of rangers, rushing back and forth to rescue dangerous places.

After fighting for a long time, although the Luoyang army was still at a disadvantage, its position had gradually stabilized, and all units and teams began to gather together in an orderly manner.

The Xiliang army launched a surprise attack, although it broke up part of the pack team and killed some stragglers, but it also suffered casualties on its own side. With the gradual concentration of the Luoyang army, the advantage of the Western Liang army has gradually disappeared.

The Xiliang army is all fast horses and light horses, with a single type of troops. In the face of the iron bucket array gradually integrated by the Luoyang Army, there was no effective way to crack it. can only rush from afar, shouting and scolding, taking advantage of some words, but unable to expand the results.

……

Xin Wenli and Ge Shuhan fought hard, and they wanted to fight first, but it was difficult to find a chance to win.

Seeing that his offensive was weakening, and the Luoyang army's formation was gradually becoming and the momentum was gradually rising, Xin Wenli had no intention of fighting again.

With a false move, he took a long step with the golden-eyed camel's legs to get rid of Ge Shuhan's entanglement. shouted and commanded, and ordered all departments to regroup and attack the weak points of the Luoyang army.

The two sides were evenly matched, but the Luoyang army was dragged down by the supply pack team and it was difficult to take the initiative. The Xiliang Army has nothing to worry about, they are all elite light horses, which are easy to maneuver and conducive to fighting.

New Boonli knows the depths. The Luoyang army was well-trained, superior in numbers, and fought hard and had no chance of winning. Winning a bloody battle is not the goal, preventing the Luoyang army from feeding the south is the key to this battle.

Shin Boon Lai ordered the various ministries to gradually assemble to the south. Divided into several units, repeatedly interspersed with raids and harassments, preventing the Luoyang army from advancing southward.

The Luoyang army gradually formed a formation and got rid of the passive situation.

Ge Shuhan commanded all the troops, protected the pack team, and sent a few more elites to try to break through to the south. It's just that the purpose of the Xiliang Army is clear, and the light cavalry departments cooperate tacitly. Interspersed with attacks and harassments, the Luoyang army advanced several times, but to no avail.

Shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting supplies, Geshuhan did not dare to take risks. Several assaults were fruitless, and seeing that it was getting late, he could only order a retreat.

Fearing that the Western Liang army pursued, Ge Shuhan personally led his troops to the rear of the palace. The Luoyang army echelons were orderly, the layers were clear, and they slowly retreated to the northeast.

Xin Wenli led his troops to pursue, and when he saw that the Luoyang army was retreating but not chaotic, he did not dare to rashly launch a strong attack. Fearing that there would be reinforcements behind the Luoyang Army, Xin Wenli led his troops to chase after him, but he couldn't find an opportunity, so he had to order the troops to be withdrawn.

……

In this battle, both sides have their own losses, and it is difficult to say whether they will win or lose.

Unable to defeat the enemy in one blow, and the capture was not very large, only a small number of panicked pack horses, Xin Wenli was quite regretful. Checking the materials on the horses one by one, it was all grain and grass, and Xin Wenli was a little relieved.

Although it failed to win a big victory, it was also a credit to prevent the Luoyang army from sending supplies to the south.

A large number of scouts were sent to investigate carefully to prevent the Luoyang army from transporting supplies at night. The detailed war report, together with the military funds obtained, were all transported to Chang'an for merit.

……

Yang Guang and Li Ru received the battle report and were overjoyed.

The results were not significant, but the significance was extraordinary.

This was the first victory of the Xiliang army since the last battle of Yongliang, which greatly boosted morale.

Li Ru's clever plan was successful, and he was naturally proud. "It is advisable to reward the soldiers of Baling and tell them to make persistent efforts to cut off the enemy's supply road. As long as his food is cut off for a month, Deng Qiang will be a tiger, and he will be hungry and become a sick cat! Self-defeating! ā€

"Roar...... haha" Yang Guang laughed excitedly.

After laughing, the corners of Yang Guang's mouth twisted. The excited oily face showed a brutal hideousness. "You have calculated for me, it's almost enough, but don't starve Deng Bald to death! It's good to starve him half to death, let's go and cut off his bald head for the night pot ourselves! Roar haha......"
