Chen Zeyue's pride is not unreasonable, whether it is to lure the enemy, or to attack strongly, the purpose is to destroy the enemy's living force, and want to annihilate the opponent, of course, he must have enough strength, the problem is that the reputation of the Dingzhou soldiers is outside, you have a lot of soldiers, others don't care about you at all, forcibly attack, and the loss is too great, so you can only expose a big flaw first, let the opponent fight. But the question arises, the enemy is out, what do you do to clean up the opponent?
The large forces stationed in Zunyi and all over the state were unconsciously transferred into the battlefield, this is the most proud stroke of Chen Zeyue in this campaign, it is not good to be early or late, it is early, the enemy hears the news and flees, and when it is late, he will clean it up, and appear on the battlefield at the most appropriate time is the key to this battle.
The next scene is the ** in this drama designed by Chen Zeyue, at the top of Geling, watching the ** of the play be staged, can there be anything more exciting than this?
Lu Ziyi hit his horse and fled, when he saw a large number of Dingzhou cavalry appearing on the side, the whole person completely collapsed, and the five hundred cavalry beat him to the point that he could not be defeated, and now there are thousands of Dingzhou cavalry, and they still eat him alive. He abandoned his commander and fled with the remnants of his more than a thousand cavalry.
In fact, Lu Ziyi was broken by the previous five hundred cavalry, these five hundred cavalry is the essence of Chen Zeyue's entire cavalry team, everyone is a veteran of a hundred battles, and the cavalry skills that come over now are not as simple as the previous five hundred cavalry.
Fang Huiping originally expected Lu Ziyi to rush up to block for a while, so that he had time to form a formation, but as soon as Lu Ziyi ran, his 6,000 soldiers were completely exposed to the impact of the opponent's cavalry, and at this time, the more than 1,000 soldiers above Geling and the remaining 300 cavalry were already backlashing down in the shouting, which meant that it couldn't be clearer, that is, they were not given any time to form a formation, they were scattered, and the scattered infantry lineup met the cavalry, what the outcome was, anyone with brains could figure it out.
Rout! Six thousand Minzhou army in an instant became a rabbit all over the mountains and wilderness, Dingzhou cavalry interspersed with vertical and horizontal, effortlessly divided the Minzhou army into a small piece, the slender saber flashed with cold light, every time it was cut down with a rain of blood, effortlessly cut the opponent under the horse.
It didn't take long for the Minzhou soldiers to fully understand that they couldn't run on four legs on two legs. What to do? Of course, the easiest way is to throw away the weapon in your hand, hold your head in your hands, kneel down on the spot, and then pray that your opponent's saber will not slash at you again, and that the galloping war horse will not crash into you.
They were right, for such an enemy army, the Dingzhou cavalry did not look at it again, but whistling past them, the exquisite equestrian skills allowed them to run past these kneeling troops, they would not hurt the opponent at all, there were still escapees, there were also formed resistors, which was their goal.
After Fang Huiping fled with Lu Ziyi, he led hundreds of personal soldiers around him to join the ranks of escape, brandishing a big knife, and after cutting down more than a dozen Dingzhou cavalry who intercepted him in a row, he led hundreds of personal soldiers to flee to the road where he came, and behind him, there were pieces of Minzhou infantry who knelt on the ground.
"Fang Huiping escaped!" The officer pointed in the direction of Fang Huiping's escape.
Chen Zeyue smiled and said: "A bare-pole general, if he runs away, what does it matter, not to mention, he may not be able to escape!" Let's go, go and harvest our fruits, take Cangping, after Niukou, the Tianzi Mountain defense line will inevitably be alone, and there is no longer the value of guarding, I think, after Liao Bin gets the news, he will lead the army to retreat to Donglin to join Zhang Liang as soon as possible, and the Tianzi Mountain defense line can now be regarded as ours."
Niukou Defense Line, Xu Kexing After getting that Fang Huiping had already attacked and began to attack Geling, he looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, "Come on, from now on, let's play for real, the order, the two battalions that feigned to aid Qingyang will rush back for me, today, I will stand on the top of the fortress of the Niukou Defense Line and drink."
Niukou defense line, Minzhou defender Ke Ziping after struggling to resist for more than ten days, suddenly found that the attack of the Dingzhou army suddenly became extremely strong, unstoppable, as long as the attack was frustrated, it would retreat to reinvigorate the Dingzhou army, shouting and stepping on the corpses of his companions, launching wave after wave of attacks towards the fortress.
More and more trebuchets were set up on the slopes of the hill less than a mile from the fortress, pouring stone projectiles towards the defensive line, even if Ke Ziping sent several death squads to destroy more than a dozen trebuchets in a company, but the consequence of losing hundreds of people was only to weaken the opponent's long-range attack for a moment, and more trebuchets were erected. Ke Ziping even found that the Dingzhou soldiers even picked out some parts among the more than a dozen trebuchets that were destroyed, and after a while, a new trebuchet was formed. It made him desperate.
Many large weapons in Dingzhou have been standardized in parts, Ke Ziping also knows it, and he also knows that Luoyang is now struggling to imitate it, but it seems that until now, a unified set of processes has not been formed, but seeing the current situation, this set of technology of Dingzhou soldiers is obviously very mature.
The howling sound of the eight-bull crossbow pulled Ke Ziping back from despair, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the Dingzhou soldiers had set up dozens of eight-bull crossbows on the fortress, and the crossbow arrows with the thickness of the arm shot to the fortress with the sound of whistling, and the city wall was nailed with these crossbow arrows, and many Dingzhou soldiers climbed up with these arrow rods, and more Ningzhou soldiers rushed up with cloud ladders, although the wooden door of the fortress was thick and covered with iron sheets, but it was bombarded by the eight bull crossbows at close range, and there were already holes, Seeing it is about to become a sieve.
But none of these were as desperate as the scene Ke Ziping saw two hours after the resumption of the war, and the cavalry of the two battalions of Dingzhou soldiers who were transferred a few days ago appeared under the fortress, something must have happened.
Ke Ziping made one of the wisest decisions of his life: "Order all the defenders, we retreat!" β
"General, when you go there, do you cross the loquat tree ditch?" A lieutenant asked.
"You pig brain, can you walk there in the loquat tree ditch, let's go up the mountain and go over the mountain." Ke Ziping shouted angrily, "Put a fire, burn the entire Niukou defense line for me, and let the fire cover our escape."
"General, didn't we withdraw to Tianzi Mountain?"
"Stupid!" Ke Ziping said: "The loquat tree ditch is in the hands of the other party, can we run back?" Let's go up the mountain and hide first! β
When he saw the skyrocketing fire burning above the Niukou defense line, Xu Kexing knew that Niukou was his own.
"Come on, report the good news to General Chen, and say that I have taken the Niukou defense line."
"Bring me a pot of wine, I'm going to the fortress to drink!" Xu Kexing said loudly.
"General, the fire is blazing above, how can you go to drink, let's wait until the fire is extinguished!" One of the pro-soldiers laughed.
Xu Kexing snorted, "***, it's really not worry-free, forget it, let the troops put out the fire first, this day is dry, it will cause a mountain fire, these places, after the fight is down, it is our Dingzhou, a fire is burned, and we are the ones who suffer."
Tianzi Mountain defense line, Guan Zhonghua rushed into Liao Bin's room with a pale face.
"General Liao, Niukou has been lost." Liao Bin stood up, strode out of the room, and ran to the highest place of Tianzi Mountain, where although he couldn't see the cow's mouth, he could see the wolf smoke that had been supporting the cow's side all these days.
Liao Bin's face was pale, his hands were trembling slightly, and in the direction of Niukou in the distance, it was no longer the three pillars of wolf smoke, but large patches of smoke billowing up.
"It must have been Ke Ziping who set fire to the Niukou defense line after the loss, and this situation will occur. General Liao, we are about to face a direct attack from the Dingzhou army." Kou Zhonghua muttered.
"Cangping, Cangping!" Liao Bin suddenly shouted, "Zhonghua, you immediately lead five thousand troops and horses to aid Cangping."
Kou Zhonghua quickly understood, and trotted all the way out of the top of the fortress. Liao Bin lowered his head gloomily, "Fang Huiping, where are you going to have an accident!" β
Kou Zhonghua ordered 5,000 men and horses, and only twenty miles out of the fortress of Tianzi Mountain, he saw a group of routs coming from the direction of Cangping, and without asking, he knew that something had happened in Cangping.
"General Kou, a large number of enemy troops raided Cangping, General Fang Chu was killed on the spot, and Cangping was lost." An embarrassed lieutenant's voice trembled, and he reported to Kou Zhonghua.
Cangping was lost, and the other party's military strength to attack Cangping actually exceeded 10,000, which means that Chen Zeyue's large army had already entered Qingyang, at this time, Kou Zhonghua didn't want to figure out how Chen Zeyue did this, he only knew that since Chen Zeyue had the strength to attack Cangping, then, most of Fang Huiping's men and horses who came out of Cangping had definitely fallen into the trap of the Dingzhou army, at this time, I was afraid that it no longer existed.
"General, quickly withdraw to Tianzi Mountain, after the enemy occupies Cangping, he will definitely take advantage of the situation to cover up." The lieutenant was terrified.
Gritting his teeth, Kou Zhonghua loudly ordered the whole army to return immediately.
The five thousand troops walked back more than ten miles in panic, and the sound of hooves like thunder came from the soldiers, which made Kou Zhonghua almost frightened, "Go, go."
"General, it's your own people, it's the people who went out of Cangping!" One of the pro-soldiers shouted.
This group of people who fled back was Lu Ziyi, who was the first to retreat from the Geling battlefield, and when he saw Kou Zhonghua, Lu Ziyi's first sentence was, "General Kou, it's over, the troops of 6,000 people are all over!" β
It was indeed all over, Fang Huiping did not escape after all, he was caught up by the Dingzhou cavalry, and together with hundreds of his own soldiers, he became a prisoner of the Dingzhou soldiers.
Seeing Kou Zhonghua who returned in a hurry, listening to Lu Ziyi's incoherent return, Liao Bin's whole body became weak, Niu Kou, Cangping was lost, and the defense line of Tianzi Mountain lost its defensive value, "Prepare to retreat, retreat to Donglin." He was low and authentic.

It's a new January again, looking back at the horse, since the new book was uploaded in February last year, it was on the shelves in April, unconsciously, it was more than a year later, summed up, and found that for more than a year, the gunman only broke for one day, that was because he went to Shandong on a business trip, so he was a little proud and proud. The gunslinger is an amateur writer, so it should be nice to be able to do this! Because he is an amateur writer, he doesn't have enough time, so the gunman rarely interacts with readers, and rarely goes to the book review area, so he can only apologize to his book friends. This is really no way. It's May, and the gunners who rarely canvass for votes are also shouting, asking for all kinds of tickets, which can be regarded as a reward for the gunners who have been constantly changing for more than a year. Luo Quanyi, I wish you all a happy holiday! Exit, code words go also.
