Chapter Thirty-Eight: Prepare for Cavalry!

Xiaolianggou is a ravine less than thirty miles north of Qishan, surrounded by mountains on both sides, the steep mountain wall is difficult to climb, the ravine is a dead end, but the area is too narrow, only four or five people can be allowed to pass side by side, at this moment, outside Xiaolianggou, Liu Chen, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Guan Ying, Luan Bu and more than 900 cavalry are waiting for each other.

Liu Chen had watched ancient war movies when he was in the Chinese world, whenever he saw two armies facing each other, after one side of the army killed the other side, he could defeat the enemy, which seemed to him to be pure nonsense, how could one person's force dominate the entire war, but today he believed it.

In fact, when Pan Feng led the army to retreat directly, Liu Chen knew that the victory was in his hands, so he mobilized the cavalry to charge, although the enemy's cavalry blocked, but in the face of the Han cavalry, the enemy's cavalry counterattack was so pale and powerless, only paid the price of dozens of people, it was to defeat the enemy's cavalry in one fell swoop, and then, Liu Chen led the cavalry to launch a fierce attack on the enemy's retreating army.

The enemy army, which had lost all its morale, although there were thousands of them, but in the face of the cavalry attack, no one dared to fight back, but squeezed forward even more frantically, and the armor and weapons discarded along the way could be seen everywhere, they all hated how they only had two legs, and there were countless tramples on each other.

Liu Chen led the cavalry all the way to cover and kill, chased for more than 30 miles, and finally chased hundreds of enemies into this Xiaolianggou, and Liu Chen could be sure that the enemy's main general, Pan Feng, was here.

Blocking the entrance of Xiaolianggou, Liu Chen was not in a hurry to attack, first asked the knights to set up barricades to prevent the enemy in Xiaolianggou from breaking through, and then began to rest, after all, most of the day's pursuit was still quite tiring, although it was mainly to cover up.

The battle damage in this battle has not yet come out, but Liu Chen predicts that his side should only lose more than 100 people, and the enemy side will be at least more than 3,000.

"General, we first wiped out the 4,000 soldiers of the Dongying people, and this battle has hundreds of 5,000 vanguard troops in Weihai County, and only 45,000 main troops from Weihai County are left to face, and our losses are not big after two battles, it seems that we should be able to win this war!" Liu Chen, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Guan Ying, and Luan Bu gathered together, only to hear Luan Bu say happily.

"That is, the enemy is much weaker than we imagined, and if the remaining forty-five thousand soldiers are all such virtues, then we will win this war." Zhang Fei laughed.

Although Guan Yu and Guan Ying did not speak, they both nodded in agreement.

Liu Chen also thought so in his heart, but he still said: "The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, not to mention, in terms of the number of troops, we are in a weak position, we must not be careless, although these two battles were won, but more or less there is some luck in it, if it is really a head-to-head confrontation, who loses and who wins has to be said!" ”

The combat power of the Dongying people is placed there, if they go head-to-head, it is already very good to be able to maintain a one-to-one battle damage, if it is not for the arrogance of the Dongying people this time, the battle will definitely not be as easy as this.

After listening to Liu Chen's words, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were all in a state of flux, and they all hugged their fists.

Seeing this, Liu Chen also showed a smile on his face and said: "Of course, what you said is right, at least we can say that we have won a small half of this war, and as for whether we can continue to win the next battle, we still need your efforts!" ”

"I'm going to do my best!" The four of them clasped their fists and said.

"General!" At this time, a voice came from a distance, and several people looked at it, only to see Liu Qi rushing over in the dust, with a touch of joy on his face, it was obvious that something happy had happened.

"Liu Qi, your face is about to bloom, is there anything happy about it?" Liu Chen said with a smile.

Liu Qi walked in, bowed to Liu Chen and said: "General, great joy, our army killed more than 200 people in this battle, mainly cavalry, killed more than 3,400 enemies and captured more than 200 people. ”

This kind of battle report is indeed very happy, but Liu Chen sighed slightly in his heart, the cavalry was already small, and more than 100 people were lost, and now in addition to the wounded soldiers who have returned to Yaxi County, there are only a little more than 800 cavalry left here.

Liu Qi didn't see Liu Chen's somewhat regretful face, but continued: "General, this is not over, Chengshan Military Port, Commander Chen Ying has sent news, saying that he has already fought with the Dongying Water Division!" ”

Liu Chen was shocked when he heard this, even Guan Yu and the others looked at Liu Qi intently, only to hear Liu Chen ask eagerly: "How is it?" How's the battle going? ”

Liu Chen's biggest worry now is not the upcoming 45,000 soldiers in Weihai County, but the battle of Chengshan Military Port, because there are only 3,300 soldiers there, but he has to face 6,000 Dongying Water Division, the Han Army Water Division has just been established, and it is not clear what the combat effectiveness is, and now Liu Chen can only use the terrain to block the enemy, he does not require the Water Division to be able to defeat the Dongying Water Division, but at least to block the enemy from landing at Chengshan Military Port.

"General, this is the second happy event, Commander Chen Ying has sent news that he has the first confrontation with the Dongying Water Division, annihilating nearly 1,000 enemies, and the mouth of the pot in Chengshan Military Port is still firmly in the hands of our army." Liu Qi replied with a smile.

Hearing this, he put down half of his mental calculations, and Liu Chen then asked, "Are there any casualties?" ”

"More than 180 people were killed and more than 100 wounded." Liu Qi replied truthfully, "Commander Chen Ying mentioned that the enemy used more than 30 eight-bull crossbows to attack, and in order to prevent the mouth of the pot from being breached, Commander Chen Ying gave up four warships and blocked the mouth of the pot. ”

"Whew!" Liu Chen exhaled a long breath, he was finally relieved, he annihilated nearly a thousand enemies, and lost about two hundred, which is already good, as for the loss of the warship, Liu Chen was not very distressed, the sailor is important, but now the center of gravity of the Han army, which is just starting, is not on the sailor, but on land, besides, if you want to become an excellent sailor soldier, it takes a lot of time.

"It's okay, catch someone and tell Chen Ying, as long as you can block the Dongying people, it doesn't matter if you lose all the warships, the warships are gone, we can rebuild them, but if the people are gone, there will be nothing!" Liu Chen said to Liu Qi with a solemn expression.

"Yes!" Liu Qi agreed, "General, there is another news, the main force of Weihai County has two thousand cavalry rushing here, and according to their speed, they should be able to reach here in the evening." ”

When this news came out, everyone looked at each other, they didn't expect the enemy to come so quickly, and it was still 2,000 cavalry, fighting on the frontal battlefield, 2,000 cavalry was enough to break through 5,000 foot soldiers.

After a little hesitation, Liu Chen spoke: "Pan Feng, one of the three major generals of Weihai County, is in Xiaolianggou, no matter what, I can't let him escape, killing or capturing him alive is definitely a major blow to the morale of Weihai County, but don't forget, Weihai County City will be our target, one less dangerous person, it is also beneficial to us, let Meng Yi lead his command and transfer two hundred crossbowmen, a total of 1,200 people quickly gather here." ”

"General, do you want to engage two thousand enemy horsemen in the field? Isn't that a bit too forceful? After all, we only have more than 800 cavalry. Guan Yu said out loud.

"It doesn't matter." Liu Chen waved his hand and said, "The enemy is coming from afar, people are sleepy and tired, although our army is only more than 800 people, but now the morale is high, after a period of rest, under the full spirit, it may not be impossible to fight." ”

Hearing this, Guan Yu thought about it for a while, and felt that what Liu Chen said was reasonable, so he didn't ask, but hugged his fists and said: "That is the case, then the subordinates are going to the soldiers to prepare." ”

In addition to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei also hugged his fists and bowed, and then the two left.

Seeing this, Liu Chen said to Liu Qi: "Go, send the news back as soon as possible, by the way, let Zhou Xiong take one of his brigade of soldiers to work hard, and return to Chengshan Military Port, where there is no room for loss, go just in case!" ”

"No!" Liu Qi responded, and then left quickly.
