It will be a pure cavalry battle. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this battle, Zhang Yuan could no longer rely on an ordinary martial artist like Yang Zhi to command the cavalry, and he had to find a pure cavalry general to command his precious 2,000 cavalry.
So, he's going to have to think about it again.
In Zhang Yuan's mind, a person who was now working under his account immediately appeared, Zhang Yuan thought for a long time, and his eyes were fixed on a dazzling name:
Ran Min!
During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, he was the founder of the Ran Wei regime, with 93 commanders, 104 armed forces, 82 wise strategies, and 75 political powers. “
Ran Min, the horse stepped on the Hun angry, and killed Hu Ling with a will, ancient and modern, everyone knows it, and no one knows the name.
In the first battle, the Han cavalry broke through the Xiongnu camp with 3,000 nights, killed several enemy generals, chased a hundred miles, and beheaded 30,000 Huns;
In the second battle, 5,000 Han cavalry broke Hu and 70,000 cavalry;
In the third battle, the Han army of 70,000 plus 40,000 beggars broke the Hu coalition army of more than 300,000;
The four battles were defeated first and then won, with 10,000 people beheading 40,000;
In the fifth war, the Han army of 60,000 was almost completely annihilated, and the Qiang and Di coalition forces were almost completely annihilated;
In the six battles, there were less than 10,000 enemies with infantry soldiers, and Murong Xianbei had 140,000 iron cavalry, and instead of retreating, he advanced in ten battles and ten victories
In this glorious battle, Ran Min commanded the cavalry of the Han people, and killed the Huns who were good at cavalry again and again.
If you talk about cavalry warfare, I am afraid that looking at the past and the present, there are not enough hands that can be compared with Ran Min.
Zhang Yuan is familiar with history, but he doesn't know Ran Min's strength.
"Zhang Yan, do you think you can suppress me with Bai Bo and Feiyan riding, I want just one Bai Bo, how can I be Ran Min's opponent......
A sneer rose at the corner of Zhang Yuan's mouth, and then he resolutely ordered: "It's Ran Min, I just happened to draw it in the unlimited draw of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I will use him." ”
That night, a young general, led by two thousand cavalry of Zhang's army, left the camp and went straight to Jincheng.
……
Southwest of Jincheng.
A team of cavalry rode their horses and galloped, and the banner of the word "Ran" flew proudly.
"Report, thirty miles ahead, is Weixiang City." A scout galloped in.
Ran Min nodded slightly, waved his hand to retreat from the scout, stopped, and ordered the left and right to bring the map.
"General Ran, Wei Xiangcheng is ahead, if you order the whole army to march quickly, I believe that in the evening, you will be able to take Wei Township." Yang Zhijin said.
Like Ran Min, Yang Zhi is one of the few horsemen under Zhang Yuan's command, and in order to win the battle, Zhang Yuan even sent Yang Zhi to assist Ran Min.
However, Yang Zhi has been famous for a long time, and he has just been selected and entrusted with important tasks, and he was an unknown pawn before.
In Yang Zhida's heart, he had some doubts about this young man named Ran Min, but Zhang Yuan was convinced of this person, and Yang Zhi had to be his deputy general with peace of mind.
Hearing Yang Zhi's proposal, Ran Min shook his head, "Pass the order, the whole army will stop advancing and set up camp on the spot." ”
Camp in place?
Yang Zhi frowned, his face was a little suspicious, but he did not question Ran Min, the instinct to obey orders made him press the question and convey the general.
When the order was given, the two thousand horsemen stopped their advance and set up camp.
The soldiers who had been running for a day buried their pots and cooked meals, and when night fell, the soldiers soon fell asleep.
Yang Zhi couldn't sleep, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, and went to the big tent to speak to Ran Min.
"General Ran, as your adjutant general, I shouldn't have questioned your orders, but this battle is very important, and there are a few words that my last general must say." As soon as Yang Zhi entered the account, he handed it over.
"General Yang has something to say, and the general likes to have frank and unrestrained people." Ran Min put down the military book in his hand, and his young and confident eyes were so faint.
Yang Zhi arched his hand and said: "Our army is now only more than 30 miles away from Wei Township, as long as we march for half a day, we can take it first, but General Ran is encamped at this critical moment, if the enemy army takes Wei Township first, you can kill Jincheng unimpeded, when the time comes, even if we add 3,000 infantry troops, we may not be able to block the enemy's 4,000 iron cavalry, the last general really doesn't understand, why did General Ran do this?" ”
"General Yang is right, if you capture Weixiang City, you can block the enemy's road to Jincheng, but then what?" Ran Min asked rhetorically, his tone still indifferent and confident.
And then?
Yang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and a little displeasure appeared on Guozi's face.
Ran Min's tone, this rhetorical question, as if he didn't understand anything, didn't understand anything, made him listen to it very harshly.
Yang Zhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "Do you need to ask, of course, it is to occupy Wei Township, wait for work, and crush the enemy's cavalry." ”
As a deputy general, it is impossible for Yang Zhi not to know the purpose of this battle.
"The terrain around Weixiang is flat, but the enemy army is mostly light cavalry, and it is extremely mobile, and General Yang is also a person who is proficient in cavalry warfare, do you think that in such a terrain, with our army's 2,000 cavalry, you can destroy the 4,000 light cavalry of the Black Mountain thieves?"
Ran Min asked again, still so confident, and his tone was as if he was teaching experience to a recruit who had just entered the battlefield.
Ran Min's tone made Yang Zhi very cool, but the content of what he said shocked Yang Zhi's body, and he suddenly realized it.
The number of cavalry of Zhang's army is inferior to that of the Montenegrin army, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is also inferior to that of the cavalry of the Montenegrin army, which is dominated by Feiyan cavalry.
In this battle, the key to defeating the strong with the weak lies in the five hundred heavy cavalry.
Because, the Montenegrin army is mainly light cavalry, and the army must not be equipped with heavy cavalry.
Heavy cavalry against light cavalry, although Zhang Jun can easily crush the light cavalry regiment of the Montenegrin Army with its powerful impact force, but the lightly armed light cavalry of the Montenegrin Army can quickly scatter and flee in this plain area, so that the damage caused by this battle to the Montenegrin Army will be greatly reduced
And the Montenegrin army found out that they were equipped with heavy horses, and understood the reality of the truth, so they naturally would not be fooled again and confronted them head-on.
Capturing Weixiang City is equivalent to presenting his strength to the enemy, and showing the killer weapon first.
"This Ran Min is so familiar with cavalry warfare, he actually surpasses me, he is by no means a mediocre person who has the name of the ancients, the lord can actually dig out such a young talent, this ability to recognize people, it is really incredible......"
Yang Zhi was amazed at Zhang Yuan in his heart, but he hurriedly restrained his doubts and arched his hand: "General Ran is right, if you want to inflict heavy damage on the enemy cavalry in one battle, we must choose an excellent battlefield. ”
"The general has already chosen a grave for the Montenegrin army." Ran Min smiled coldly, and his young face swept up with a cold and confident killing intent.
……
West of Wei Township.
When Ran Min's 2,000 cavalry stopped moving, the 4,000 light cavalry of the Black Mountain Army led by Bai Bo ran wild all night.
The next day, Bai Bo finally arrived at Weixiang City and opened the road to Jincheng, the last city.
When Bai Bo learned that Zhang Jun was already thirty miles away, he breathed a sigh of relief, admired the speed of his soldiers, and rushed to Weixiang one step ahead of the other, without being blocked by the enemy.
"Thief Zhang really sent cavalry, want to stop us from relieving the siege of Jincheng, only 2,000 cavalry, do you want to stop us, General Zhang, immediately order, the whole army attack, completely destroy the thief's blockade." The vengeful Colonel Zuo said proudly.
Bai Bo said: "Although there are few Zhang troops, the reality is unknown, and I don't know who the enemy's leader is, so it's better not to attack easily." ”
"What's the matter, General Zhang is crisscrossing Taihang and has four thousand iron cavalry in his hand, are you still afraid of Zhang Yuan's cavalry?" Colonel Zuo glanced at it, his eyes sarcastic.
"Of course not, I mean ......"
Before the embroidery was finished, Colonel Zuo had already interrupted with a wave of his hand, "I know, don't you just want to say that you know yourself and your opponent, I have fought with Zhang Thief many times, and I know his reality well, I can tell you clearly, the cavalry under Zhang Thief is Xinli, and he has not gone through too many battles, the only one who is proficient in cavalry is that Yang Zhi, you won't even have the confidence to defeat Yang Zhi, right?" ”
Colonel Zuo is making the law of agitation, and what he said is also true, although there are people in Zhang Yuan's army who are so strong in force, but in terms of the ability to command the cavalry, there is indeed no commendable figure.
Bai Bo's brows furrowed, and a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes.
As the lord of a village in the Montenegrin army, although he was the nominal commander of this army, he knew that Zhang Yan sent Colonel Zuo as his deputy general for the purpose of monitoring him.
In the final analysis, Colonel Zuo should be the real commander of this cavalry.
Seeing that Colonel Zuo insisted on fighting, Bai Bo didn't dare to resist, and thought that Colonel Zuo was indeed telling the truth, he didn't believe in cavalry fighting, who could be his opponent.
Secretly gritting his teeth, Bai Bo snorted coldly, and said proudly: "In this case, the general will fight first, so let General Zuo take a look at the strength of my Feiyan Cavalry." ”
Bai Bo immediately ordered to send a waiting horse to carefully reconnoiter the details of Zhang Jun's background.
After a day's reconnaissance, the waiting cavalry sent back the news that the Zhang army who came in the sneak attack was indeed only 2,000, and Bai Bo's doubts were dispelled, and his confidence was even stronger.
The enemy only had 2,000, but he had 4,000 iron horsemen under his command, of which more than 2,000 were his descendants' Feiyan horses.
Feiyan rides, dominates the world, who can be the enemy!
Bai Bo no longer had any doubts, and immediately ordered that the whole army would go out tomorrow and sweep away Zhang's army in one fell swoop.
