Life is as brilliant as spring flowers, but it is always as easy to fade away as ice and snow!

On the banks of the Yingshui River, west of Yingchuan County, which is located in the south of Xingyang County, the riverbank covered with green grass and wild flowers has long been soaked in blood.

When the 50,000 Huainan Army led by Du Fuwei, the vanguard general of the Southern Chen Army, passed through here and headed north, it was ambushed by 20,000 Hebei light cavalry led by Lu Shishen and Guo Xiaoke, who arrived in the starry night. For the Huainan army that entered the ambush circle, General Lu Guo did not hesitate to order a tidal wave of attacks on them.

Light horses like flying, crossbows like lightning, lances waving, sabers flashing.

The Huainan Army, which had just stopped in Yingchuan City for two days to avoid the sudden April snow, but still had frostbite soldiers in the whole army, was demoralized, and they did not expect that Yingchuan County, which should have been empty, would actually have an ambush waiting for them.

The Huainan Army's long snake marching formation was instantly cut into seven or eight pieces horizontally by the high-speed and mobile Hebei light cavalry.

The soldiers of the Huainan Army, who were caught off guard, fell one after another, and they were simply unable to resist the fierce attack of the Hebei light cavalry. The two armies fought, and one mistake passed, and in an instant, life and death were decided, and the victory and defeat were divided.

"Formation, move closer to me, retreat in formation!" Du Fuwei, the commander of the Huainan Army, had his eyes split, and he rode his horse and roared loudly with his sword. As the commander of an army, Du Fuwei is a little too young, his face is like Fu Fan, his body is like a scholar, and he only has a short stubble under his chin. Wearing a set of silver-white armor and a long shiny silver cloak hanging from his shoulders, he was a snow-white horse even when he sat down. Instead of wielding a lance like other generals, he wielded a two-handed sword. The whole person is on a horse, more like a scholar and strategist than a commander of an army.

But the sea is not to be measured, and people are not to be seen.

Although Du Fuwei is young, Nan Chen is very prestigious. At the age of sixteen, Du Fuwei and his friend Fu Gongyi gathered a crowd to revolt, and because of their courage and good fighting, they were promoted as the main one. At first, he led his troops to Changbai Mountain to take refuge in Zuo Junxing, but in the end he was not allowed and had to turn all the way to the Huaibei area of Shandong. Later, it united with the Jiangnan Wang family, and Wang Zhizhi, the head of the Wang family, accepted Du Fuwei as his righteous son, and the Huainan Army became the secret private army of the Wang family.

Since then, the Huainan army has also received the full help of the Wang family, and gradually became more and more powerful in Jianghuai. By the time the Chen Dynasty was restored in the south of the Yangtze River, the Huainan Army led by Du Fuwei had already captured several counties south of the Huai River and north of the Yangtze River in Jinling, with more than 100,000 troops. Du Fuwei, who is only in his early twenties, is already the general of Nanchen Zuo Yiwei, with the title of prince and prince. In this Northern Expedition, he served as the commander of the forward.

On the battlefield, the blood of his subordinates was constantly flowing, and it gradually washed away the sadness in Du Fuwei's heart. He began to go to the battlefield at the age of sixteen, and so far he has fought hundreds of battles, countless battles of blood and swords, and rain of guns and arrows, which have already allowed Du Fuwei to face any bad situation without chaos.

And now is not the time for panic, if things are allowed to develop, no one can escape from life. As a general who has gone all the way from the mountain of corpses to today, he knows very well that the people who die the most on the battlefield are often fatal blows in the back, and the more cowardly you show in front of a powerful enemy army, the slimmer the chances of surviving.

Most of the Huainan soldiers could not do the order at this time, and many of the soldiers in the forward army had not fought any real hard battles, and in the face of the tide of enemy cavalry, they just instinctively turned around and ran in a hurry.

However, at this time, Du Fuwei's two most courageous sons, Wang Xiongdan and Kan Ling, two brave generals known as Huainan Shuangxiong, arrived in time. They arrived with one of the fiercest units of the Huainan army: the Huainan Shang Recruitment. …,

There were only 5,000 recruits in Huainan, and it was still an infantry army. But in the whole of Jiangnan, no one dared to underestimate this army. The 5,000 soldiers of the Shangzheng Army are the 5,000 bravest soldiers selected from the hundreds of thousands of troops in the entire Huainan Army. This army enjoyed the highest treatment in peacetime, the best food, and daily wine and meat. And the weapons and equipment are also the best, and everyone's weapons and armor are all the best and finest. And every month, the soldiers recruited also have a lot of silver.

This army that Du Fuwei piled up with countless silver coins, completely regarded as his own soldiers, usually very pampered, but also very harsh requirements, every battle must be recruited as the vanguard, after the battle to check the wounds on each body, if the wound is in the back, immediately beheaded, because that means that it is retreating from the battle. Every time he wins, Du Fuwei rewards the whole army with the looted assets, and if his men die in battle, they will be buried with the property of the deceased and even their wives and concubines.

With the 5,000 elite soldiers who arrived in this hurry, Du Fuwei quickly ordered a phalanx. He did not rush to immediately send recruits to meet the enemy, but immediately centered on his own banner and began to gather those Huainan troops that had been scattered.

The two Hebei cavalry teams rushed forward one after another, but they were all forced to open by the phalanx. Seeing the effect of the phalanx, the other Huainan troops who had escaped from the vicinity immediately stopped and gathered around the phalanx. Under the coordinated command of Du Fuwei, this war group rolled bigger and stronger, like a boulder in the torrent, struggling to maintain its last dignity.

"Straight sissy thief!" Guo Xiaoke, who led the attack, soon discovered the location of Du Fuwei's handsome banner and scolded loudly.

He was a little surprised that Du Fuwei was not in chaos, but he did not immediately lead people to attack. Although the main general of the other party is defeated, he is obviously a very experienced general.

However, he also saw the other party's idea, the Huainan army had 50,000 horses, although it fell into an ambush, it was rushed out of formation by light cavalry. But in fact, the Huainan army had more than twice as many soldiers and horses as his troops. At present, Du Fuwei is not in a hurry to retreat, but is gathering the military formation, obviously with the intention of reorganizing the military formation and fighting again. If he is allowed to gather his soldiers and horses, it will be a big problem.

"Collect spears, collect spears!" Guo Xiaoke raised his horse lance and ordered loudly. Then he bent down and picked up a spear from the corpse of the enemy.

Hundreds of infantry spears immediately fell into the hands of the Hebei army, and the Hebei army, which was experienced in combat, raised their spears diagonally and rushed forward quickly with the speed of their war horses. "Cast!" In the surprised eyes of the enemy army, Guo Xiaoke sneered and ordered. A spear of eight zhang quickly rose into the air, cracked through the air, and smashed heavily into the phalanx of the Huainan army.

Throw the spear immediately, the accuracy and lethality are not high. However, this spear is more deterrent than the riding bow, and the spear of Zhangba's length is pouring into the Huainan army formation like rain, which can instantly make the opponent's battle formation panic and deform. Moreover, many spears were thrown into the opponent's array, obliquely all over the ground, and many gaps appeared in the originally solid phalanx in an instant.

Taking advantage of the panic of the Huainan Army, Guo Xiaoke waved his long lance, "Repeater launch!" ”

With the high-speed maneuver of the war horse, the Hebei light cavalry quickly approached the larger and larger Huainan military formation. One by one, the repeating crossbows were put into their hands, aimed at the Huainan army in the array, and continuously pulled the string knife, shooting black crossbow arrows into the body of the Huainan army.

The crossbows were raining down, and even Du Fuwei, who was in the middle of the formation, had to swing his sword to block. He slashed three crossbow arrows in a row, but one of them grazed his face and brought a blood stain.

Broken into pieces, the Hebei light cavalry of the brigade began to disperse into hundred-man squads one by one. They galloped like the wind, and like a huge blade, every time they approached the Huainan military formation, there would always be several soldiers stabbed down. As soon as they touched and retreated, it was like peeling bamboo shoots, and the Huainan army fell down one after another with hatred. …,

The Huainan army fought and retreated, constantly gathering soldiers and horses, while the Hebei army was like maggots attached to the bones. Follow the pursuit all the way, without giving the enemy the slightest chance to breathe.

After paying a huge price, Duvowe's perseverance finally paid off. Although the Hebei light cavalry pursued all the way, slashing at their phalanx like geese pecking at water, Du Fuwei finally stabilized the formation and gradually gathered all the soldiers who had been scattered.

The Huainan Army, which only had a small number of cavalry, had to rely on the military formation if it wanted to face a tough enemy of 20,000 light cavalry. Losing the array, only the Huainan army was defeated in the end, which is the reason why Du Fuwei has always insisted.

Du Fuwei continued to command and change formations, and finally formed a solid infantry defensive formation.

At the time of the formation, more than 50 Hebei Army riders who rushed into the battle formation were pierced on the spot and fell to the ground with their mounts. However, the long-experienced Huainan recruited soldiers turned a blind eye to the death of the enemy.

The soldiers in the first row maintained a half-squatting position, with the spears pointing diagonally upward. The blood of men and horses trickled down the lances, staining their hands and arms red. Someone was crushed by a warhorse, and the gap was quickly replenished by other robes. Those who were not affected clenched their teeth and remained motionless like stone carvings.

The second-row sergeant laid the lance flat on the shoulders of the first-row sergeant, the spear pointed straight ahead, and the broken flesh hung from the tip. The long lance of the third row of non-commissioned officers was placed on the shoulders of the second-row non-commissioned officers, and the spear was two feet higher than the previous row, and there was no chance to make contact with the enemy, and Leng Sensen flashed with blue light.

It's a standard infantry versus cavalry battle formation, like a steel hedgehog with its body curled up, leaving the enemy at bay. Du Fuwei's Huainan Army also fought against Wang Shichong, and that time, Du Fuwei was defeated very badly. Since then, Du Fuwei has attached great importance to Wang Shichong's array. Later, when the Shangzhu Army was formed, he concocted it in the same way, and also equipped the Shangzheng Army with a multi-foot lance, and imitated the way the platoon army fought in battle.

Although the Huainan Army was not as brave as the Hebei Light Cavalry, the way of fighting to the death of the recruited army was Du Fuwei's tactics of imitating the famous general Yang Su of the Sui Dynasty. In terms of bravery, even the world-famous Hebei Army may not be more deadly than the death squad of the Huainan Shangzheng Army.

In the face of the cavalry rushing at high speed of Hebei's light cavalry, Shangzhao turned a blind eye at all, and raised the long lance obliquely, like a stone elephant.
