Chapter 1063: The Battle of Tang
readx;?“ The enemy is in the urn......"
Seeing the cavalry that had hidden their tracks in the woods rushing out one after another, impacting the rear of the pursuing soldiers of Wu to pieces, at the head of Tangyi City, Ran Qiu, who was wearing a big red coat, put down the clairing mirror and showed a relieved smile.

Ten years have passed, and Ran Qiu is no longer the immature young general who led the troops in battle for the first time, he has grown into a pillar of the Lu Kingdom, with a lot of beards on his face, and the whole person looks extremely majestic. This time, the princes of Zhao led the princes to fight with Wu and Qi, Lu was one of the main battlefields, and there were tigers on the north of the Great Wall to force the Qi army, and in the Sishang area of the southern line, Zhao Wuxian was under the full command of Ran Qiu, and even the Hanoi army supported by Zhao and the 3,000 cavalry had to obey his orders.
Zhao Wuxian has sufficient reasons for this: "Ziyou has guarded Lu for more than ten years, and Hugh said that the situation of the mountains and rivers in Lu country, even if it is a small forest next to a city, he firmly remembers it. Ziyou has his own furrow in his chest, fighting in Lu country, the general doesn't need Ziyou, who is still qualified? ”
"The son has a furrow in his chest." This evaluation has become the highest praise for Ran Qiu, although Lu has not yet implemented the twelfth rank like Zhao for the time being, but no one in the Zhao army dares to despise Ran Qiu.
After receiving Zhao Wuxian's instructions, saying that the purpose of the battle was to break Peiyi first and open up the situation from Sishang, he did not attack rashly, but first showed weakness in Teng, Xue, Di and other places, and made the appearance that the princes of Lusi were weak and couldn't help it, and then hoarded grain near Tangyi, pretending that the army was transferred to Qufu and Ju, and deliberately let Shangjia leak the news to deceive the people of Wu. In fact, he quietly concentrated his forces and waited for the Wu army to take the bait.
Sure enough, in early June, the people of Wu decided to attack Ludi when the Song State was unable to move an inch in the face of the main force of the Zhao army. However, a strange thing happened during the period, when the Wu army went north, Langyi, which was far away, made Ran Qiu surprised, and thought that his plan was discovered by the people of Wu, so he made a quick decision and made a tactical deployment of deceitful defeat and lure the enemy, which led to an ambush outside Tangyi.
Because of the changes in Ju State, part of the Lu army was dispatched, and the rest were led by the Tiger Society to defend against the Qi army's surprise attack on Qufu, so Ran Qiu only had the strength of one army on the southern front, plus the first army of Zhao State, with a total strength of more than 20,000 people. Ran Qiu sent 5,000 people to Teng and Xue, and on the battlefield of Tangyi today, there are still more than 10,000 foot soldiers and more than 1,000 cavalry, waiting for the rabbit, which is more than enough to deal with the Wu soldiers in front of him.
Now the Wu army rushed forward and rushed to the foot of Tangyi City, and the rear retreat was cut off by the cavalry, and these three or four thousand people were suddenly wrapped in dumplings.
A few miles away, Zhao cavalry rushed out from both wings, advancing at full speed in an arrow formation, the cavalry in front of them were all heavily armoured, these heavy assault horses were the sharp arrows of the cavalry, invincible and unstoppable. The impact of the war horse was too strong, and the hundred Wu soldiers on the top of the face were trampled into meat in just an instant, and the cavalry soldiers clamped the horse body with their legs, and used the impact of the war horse to penetrate into the loose enemy formation, and danced the ring head knife to harvest the life of the enemy. Having seen the horrors of cavalry for the first time, Wu Bing wanted to turn around and flee for his life, but before they could run a few steps, they were killed by the enemy, and let out a desperate scream before dying.
The road ahead is the slowly approaching Zhao Lu foot soldiers, as well as the solid city wall, and the rushing behind is the fast sprinting war horse, no matter how fast the people's legs are, how can they pass the enemy on the horse, turning around and running away can only make them die faster. When Ran Qiu was young, he deserved to have hunted and hunted rabbits in Tobu Castle, and this trap is really desperate.
However, the combat effectiveness of the Wu people should not be underestimated, since they are dead in front and back, if they are blocked by the enemy's foot soldiers, and then divided and impacted by the cavalry on their backs, they have no hope of surviving at all. But if they can break through these cavalry, they still have a lot of strength. Shen Shuyi, who had been in the Chu State and Chen Cai for a long time, had already figured out the powerful relationship at this moment of life and death, and the trapped beast was still fighting, and under his order, the remaining two or three thousand Wu soldiers immediately turned around and drew their swords to meet the cavalry whose speed had been greatly reduced.
The crazy Wu soldiers were hideous, completely ignoring the fact that their backs were exposed to the attack of the enemy's foot soldiers, they had only one purpose, to cut down the rushing war horses and delay their speed, these Wu people born in the south actually did not know the weakness of the cavalry, they just used those high enemies as charioteers to fight.
After all, no matter how much you ride a car, once you lose your speed, you are not much different from the infantry.
Wu Jian was sharp, and under the melee, dozens of war horses had their legs cut off, and they didn't have time to react at all, the knights on the horses fell down, and the war horses behind only rushed forward without distinguishing between the enemy and me, and countless horse hooves immediately stepped over their bodies. The cavalry began to suffer casualties, but this small result was exchanged for the flesh and blood of more than 100 Wu people......
A horn sounded, and Zhao Cai, who realized that he had gone too deep, began to retreat on horseback, retreated to the periphery and began to shoot the Wu people with bows and arrows, making their formation even more chaotic. The people of Wu suddenly fell into passivity, whether it was the assault cavalry that charged intensively, or the archers who used mobility to shoot them at a long distance, they were all the nemesis of foot soldiers on this flat land, and there were no strong fortifications, and there was no dense phalanx composed of spears and shields, which could not stop this stormy attack.
Seeing another group of foot soldiers being swallowed by the rain of arrows or organized group charges, all the soldiers of Wu felt the threat of death, but there was nothing they could do about the other party, in the face of the impact, they could only desperately assemble under Shen Shuyi's battle flag, but if it was too dense, they would suffer heavy casualties under the rain of arrows, so they could only desperately raise their shields, hoping that the arrows would not hit them.
However, at this moment, the infantry of Zhao Lu, who had been waiting for a long time under Tangyi City, had already completed the formation, and they began to sprint against the Wu soldiers who were trapped by the scattered cavalry......
No matter how fierce and barbaric the tactics were, and no matter how rich Wu Bing's combat experience was in Chu and Chen Caiyue, everything was useless under the seamless trap of Ran Qiu......
……
The battle lasted only two quarters of an hour, these Wu forwards who ran too fast were completely surrounded and annihilated by the Zhao Lu army that was several times their own, the corpses were all over in front of Tangyi, the corpses of the Wu people gathered under the banner of Shen Shuyi, who had not fallen to the end, and the corpses of Lu and Zhao Qi were scattered around, the scene was chaotic, in the most anxious place of the battle, the corpses of both sides were stacked together, and it was impossible to distinguish at all.
Looking at this situation, even Ran Qiu had to admire the bravery of the Wu people, although three or four thousand Wu were annihilated, but Zhao Lu also paid nearly a thousand casualties......
He couldn't help but be glad that he didn't take the initiative to attack Peiyi, otherwise he would be relied on by the Wu people with Surabaya and the city, but he was afraid that there would be more casualties.
Ran begged for someone to clear the battlefield quickly, and he himself planned to take the rest of the foot soldiers and cavalry to pursue south. Because these Wu people who were running too fast were separated from their main force, the scouts came to report, and after finding out that the front was a trap, the five or six thousand Wu troops who were slowly moving behind had withdrawn, and Ran Qiu had already asked the light troops to intercept them.
"Only by completely annihilating this group of Wu troops can this battle be called a complete achievement!"
However, as soon as he came out of Tangyi, the cavalry came to report that Liu Xiayue, the lieutenant general who commanded them, had unfortunately fallen from his horse after rushing into the enemy formation, and now he was missing......
Ran Qiu couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, this Liuxia Yue is the son of Liuxia Plant, although Ran Qiu and other Confucian disciples have always been at odds with thieves, but after all, he is a heroic martyr publicly praised by Zhao Hou, and Ran Qiu has a good impression of Liuxia Yue, if he is unfortunately lost here, it is a pity!
