762. Defeat the enemy in a war

The light cavalry of the Huyi Battalion led by Zhang Liao of Zhu Weijun and the Bingzhou Army of Gao Gan launched an offensive battle on the spacious plain in the northwest of Qi County.

Zhang Liao left about 2,000 cavalry as his own formation, while Ma Chao and Cao Xing respectively led 2,000 cavalry to the front of the high-ranking military formation.

Gao Gan was not familiar with the light cavalry tactics of Zhu Weijun, and when he saw that Zhu Weijun had launched a charge, he also led his troops and horses to slowly charge in the direction of Zhu Weijun.

He also left about 3,000 infantry for the rear army to stay, and in the central core of the front was to use 5,000 infantry as a spur to charge, and the cavalry on both wings also followed the infantry, ready to attack the light cavalry of the Zhu Wei army at any time.

In Gao Gan's view, Zhu Weijun's cavalry attacking his dense infantry formation was simply self-defeating.

As long as his infantry formation stagnated the horse speed of Zhu Wei's cavalry, so that Zhu Wei's cavalry lost the advantage of horse speed and sprinting, his cavalry could raid Zhu Wei's army in turn.

However, the reality quickly made Gao Gan dumbfounded, Zhu Weijun's light cavalry charged from both wings, but did not directly rush to his infantry cone stabbing army formation, but directly rushed through the two wings, of course, while the war horse ran past, the light cavalry on horseback also shot countless feathered arrows at his two wings cavalry and the central dense infantry.

It can be said that the soldiers of the Gao Ganjun Army did not see clearly what kind of weapons Zhu Weijun's light cavalry was holding at first, and after Zhu Wei's light cavalry rushed closer, they found that Zhu Weijun's cavalry were actually archers.

As a result, the Gao Ganjun army was completely unprepared to defend against arrows, but only put out the outer spears and lances, and the inner swords and shields were complete, aiming at the cavalry charging tactics commonly used by the current nomads, waiting for the cavalry of Zhu Weijun to collide with them and send them to death.

But what they were waiting for was like a rain of feather arrows, so as the light cavalry of the Zhu Wei army grazed from both wings, the cavalry and infantry on the side of the Gao Gan army were shot dead and wounded by no less than 2,000 people at once, and the Gao Gan army suddenly fell into a small chaos.

On the side of Zhu Weijun, Ma Chao and Cao Xing led the cavalry to quickly attack the two sides of the Gao Gan Army, and then staggered around the rear of the Gao Gan Army, and galloped back in the direction of the two wings of the Gao Gan Army again, so another round of feather arrows covered the Gao Gan Army.

This time, the soldiers of the high-ranking army were somewhat guarded, and many sword and shield men began to use double-arc hand shields to protect their vital points, but hundreds of soldiers still fell under the feather arrows.

"Woo woo woo ......"

At this time, Zhang Liao seemed to have seen through the weakness of the Gao Gan army, and directly rushed forward with the remaining more than 2,000 cavalry.

Perhaps learning the lessons of the previous battle to intercept Han Sui, although the light cavalry led by Zhang Liao was still dominated by archers, at this time, these cavalrymen behind Zhang Liao also held a lance in their hands.

Although the equipment on their bodies is still the equipment of light cavalry, the lance in their hands allows them to also raid the enemy's military formation, and they have a certain melee fighting ability, rather than just being good at cruising around and shooting.

Of course, Zhang Liao would not really use light cavalry to forcibly raid the enemy's dense military formation, which was something that Zhang Xiu's heavy armored cavalry could do.

Zhang Liao will only choose to surprise after the enemy's army formation is defeated by the bows and arrows of his own light cavalry, and only in this way can he give the enemy a fatal blow at the first time and quickly turn the battle to the next stage.

At this moment, Zhang Liao led his troops to rush forward and kill the past, and Ma Chao and Cao Xing in front of them with the light cavalry behind them staggered in front of the Gao Gan Army, and when they heard Zhang Liao's horn order, they also changed the mode of attack, and adjusted the direction of the war horse's attack, preparing to assist Zhang Liao's charge, waiting to launch the next pursuit battle against the Gao Gan Army.

After two rounds of arrow rain baptism, the dense cone-shaped army formation in the center has long been scattered, and the cavalry on both wings has become scattered, although the soldiers of the high cadre army are still at a loss and do not know the situation, and they have not begun to turn back and flee, but the morale has long been dissipated, and they are almost poked over by a finger.

Zhang Liao and 2,000 cavalry quickly rushed to their front, and as the lance stabbed forward with the power of the horsepower rush, many soldiers in front of the Gao Gan army became the strings of people wearing on the lance.

This time finally let the senior cadres know what they should do, a large number of soldiers turned around and began to flee for their lives, and thousands of people instantly entered a state of rout.

In this way, the light cavalry of Zhu Wei's army could launch a sheep-like chase and kill against the defeated troops of Gao Gan's army, and the experienced Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, and Cao Xing did not force the defeated troops of Gao Gan's army too quickly at the beginning, but just drove these defeated soldiers to the 3,000-man army formation left by Gao Gan in the rear, preparing to use these defeated soldiers to impact Gao Gan's rear army formation.

At this time, Gao Gan was also a little dumbfounded in the rear army formation, his army was defeated almost without much fighting, and until now he still hadn't figured out what kind of battle Zhu Weijun's light cavalry was fighting, and how it was so easy to make the battle situation like this.

But soon the reality on the battlefield let him know that he had been defeated, and if he didn't retreat, it was very likely that the whole army would be wiped out here, so he didn't hesitate to retreat with 3,000 people in the rear.

For a while, the entire army of the high-ranking army began to retreat, and of course, the soldiers who were defeated and retreated from the front battlefield should be regarded as a rout.

Zhu Weijun saw that Gao Gan had already retreated, so he didn't have to keep his hands anymore, and immediately accelerated the speed of the war horse under his crotch, and then Ma Chao and Cao Xing outflanked the cavalry from both wings, and chased the fleeing soldiers with bows and arrows, while shouting that they surrendered and did not kill.

On the side of the Gao Gan army, except for those cavalry who could accelerate the retreat with Gao Gan, the other remaining more than 3,000 infantry naturally could not outrun the horses of the Zhu Wei cavalry with their own feet, so many people stopped and surrendered.

Zhang Liao led more than 2,000 cavalry under his command and began to collect these soldiers, while Ma Chao and Cao Xing continued to lead their troops to chase and kill Gao Gan, all the way from Qi County to Jinyang, and then they stopped.

As a result, Gao Gan came out of Jinyang with more than 10,000 troops, and in the end, there were less than 4,000 troops left in Jinyang, which can be regarded as making Gao Gan tremble.

It's just that the next Gao Gan also has Jinyang City to rely on, and the light cavalry of the Tiger Wing Battalion led by Zhang Liao naturally can't forcibly attack Jinyang City, so Zhang Liao just led the army to camp outside Jinyang City, blocking Gao Gan from not daring to come out in Jinyang City, but Zhu Weijun did not launch an offensive against Jinyang City.

After another two days, Wei Yan's Jingnan camp finally arrived outside Jinyang City, and the threat to Jinyang City was even greater.

Now Wei Yan is also a little depressed, since the first battle of Chang'an, the Jingnan battalion he led can basically only follow Zhang Liao's light cavalry, and many battles have been handled by Zhang Liao's light cavalry without his army.

It can be said that Wei Yan's Jingnan battalion seems to have become an auxiliary force for Zhang Liao's light cavalry, that is, to help receive the light cavalry to take down the territory.

This is not what Wei Yan wants to do, so how can he make meritorious contributions.

Now that he came to Jinyang City, Wei Yan finally made up his mind again, this time it was his turn to attack the Jingnan battalion, after all, the siege still needed the infantry of the Jingnan battalion under his command to do it.

However, this Jinyang City is not easy to capture, so after Wei Yan arrived with his troops, he also felt very tricky when he looked at Jinyang City standing on the Taiyuan Basin Valley Plain in front of him......
