Chapter 935: The Wind Rises and the Clouds Fly 2
readx;
There is no moat in Taizhou City, but after the battle of Taizhou periphery began, using the precious time gained by the periphery for a few days, Guan Xinglong ordered to dig a trench that was more than ten meters deep from the city under the city, leaving only a few passages about several zhang wide at the city gate, and the Luoyang army had left thousands of corpses outside the city in order to fill this trench, and the result was to fill in an offensive channel about a kilometer long in the front of Qinzhou City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Qinzhou City is a state city, the city is several zhang high, covered with bluestone, extremely strong, after the crazy stone-throwing blow outside the city, although the stone surface was smashed into potholes, and even cracks appeared in some places, but the whole city wall is still standing as before, from a distance, there is almost no major damage, but the wooden houses such as the city tower on the city have suffered a great disaster, and there is almost nothing intact.
From yesterday to today, the First Cavalry Battalion has made several sorties, and its number has been reduced from more than 6,000 cavalry to more than 4,000.
"Kill!" Wang Peng raised his spear high, shouted wildly and slammed on the horse's belly, as if he was off the string, and pounced on the enemy troops swarming on the opposite side.
"Dingzhou Army, Wansheng!" Four thousand cavalry shouted in unison, rushing out of the narrow city gate, and in just a few hundred meters, they had completed the change of formation, from a long dragon to three attack clusters.
"I heard that Guan Xinglong was praised by Li Qing as a horizontal sword, but I am General Guan! Looking at this person's use of soldiers, it is worthy of Li Qing's evaluation of him! On a high platform built with earth and stones in the distance, Qu Yongjie looked back at Zhou Tong and said: "Although the troops are at an absolute disadvantage, they still dare to invest their troops to fight out of the city. ”
Zhou Tong nodded, "The generals of Dingzhou, all of them were killed all the way from the Pingban Campaign, the generals who can sit in a high position in the Dingzhou army, there are no mediocre people, Guan Xinglong and the first strongest army in the grassland Huhe pro-army can be seen in the battle to capture the flag, this person is bold, he defended Dingyuan alone, 3,000 steps alone against tens of thousands of barbarian troops, and finally dared to lead more than 1,000 horsemen out of the city to fight, and vigorously dragged the opponent's retreat, this person's insight into the battlefield situation is really rare. Fortunately, at present, we have an absolute advantage in troops, and General Qu is personally in charge, otherwise we would really have a dozen with him. ”
Qu Yongjie's face was extremely solemn, "The key is time, if Guan Xinglong succeeds in delaying us, then the big battle that Shoufu has worked so hard to plan will come to naught." ”
"Although Wanli's plan to encircle and suppress the mountain wind has come to naught, at least it can still block the mountain wind's return of reinforcements, and the key is the reinforcements from all over the state." Zhou Tong groaned: "Wang Qinian's Qinian division has more than 30,000 people, and they are all veterans of a hundred battles, and the Tianlei Battalion under his command is known as the first battalion of Dingzhou Infantry Battle, General Qu, I think we still have to strengthen our strength over there." ”
Qu Yongjie shook his head, "I'm not worried about that side, but about Bozhou!" ”
"Bozhou is blocked by the old general Qiu Zhi, what is there to worry about?" Zhou Tongdao.
"Right now, the only killer for Li Qing to relieve this predicament is Bozhou, break through Bozhou, control the Laihe, General Zhou, what do you say we should do?"
Zhou Xian was shocked, "This, with Old General Qiu in charge, it shouldn't be like this, right?" ”
"This is the worst possibility, I have written to Shousuke, no matter how tight the troops are, I will send reinforcements to General Qiu.
Bozhou is not lost, we can play here with confidence, such as Bozhou has knowledge
……”
Zhou Tong was silent for a moment, "No matter what, the initiative is still in our hands at the moment, we will take Qinzhou here as soon as possible, and all the difficulties will be solved." ”
Qu Yongjie smiled, "Yes, it depends on the performance of the sons." Look, Ouyang's cavalry has attacked, look at how our Royal Forest Cavalry in Luoyang is compared to the Dingzhou cavalry? ”
Zhou Tong smiled, "General Ouyang's heart is still quite high, and the current face is not the Dingzhou Changsheng Camp and the Whirlwind Battalion, I'm afraid there are still some regrets in my heart, right?" ”
Qu Yongjie laughed, "That is, Dingzhou military law, only the army that has made great contributions on the battlefield will be awarded the name of the battalion, at present, this cavalry does not have an independent battalion name, which means that there are not many battlefields, or the credit is not big enough, for such a little-known cavalry, Ouyang must be dissatisfied." ”
Ouyang Gangqiang is indeed very dissatisfied, he has a deep hatred with the Dingzhou soldiers, he was born in the general, and there is an elder brother named Ouyang Jianqiang, in the battle of Minzhou, surrounded by the Dingzhou Mountain Wind Department, under the first battle, the whole army was ink, and his brother was also killed in this battle.
The cause of Ouyang Jianqiang's death is a mystery, some of the royal cavalry who fled back said that Ouyang Jianqiang surrendered, but the report sent by Dingzhou said that Ouyang Jianqiang did not surrender in battle, and finally died in the chaos. In fact, Ouyang Jianqiang did surrender on the spot, but he was quietly killed by the mountain wind, in order to cover up the disgraceful incident of the mountain wind killing and surrendering, Dingzhou Mingfa Di reported that it indirectly helped the Ouyang family.
In any case, Ouyang Jianqiang died after all, based on this fact, the Emperor of the Apocalypse still gave the Ouyang family an honor, and Ouyang Gangqiang was promoted several levels and became a general of the Imperial Forest Army.
After Shang Haibo took charge of Luoyang, he felt the strength of the Dingzhou Iron Cavalry, in order to fight against the Dingzhou Iron Cavalry, while expanding the ironclad cavalry, he also vigorously strengthened the construction of the Imperial Forest Cavalry, in a few years, the Imperial Forest Cavalry almost doubled, reaching about 100,000 cavalry, but compared to the cavalry of the Dingzhou Army, it was still very far behind, but 100,000 cavalry was formed by Shang Haibo squeezing all the potential of the Central Plains, and what bothered him was the lack of qualified war horses.
The Imperial Forest Cavalry has only one war horse per person, although the war horse restricts the development of the Royal Forest Cavalry, but the strong financial resources of the Central Plains still make the strength of this cavalry not to be underestimated, and the sophisticated equipment is not inferior to the Dingzhou cavalry, bayonet, chopping sabers, iron armor, hand crossbows, all the Dingzhou cavalry have, Shang Haibo has done his best to meet them, and the well-equipped Royal Forest Cavalry generals naturally have the mind to compete with the Dingzhou Iron Cavalry.
Ouyang Gangqiang's other royal forest cavalry general, Xie Chengfeng, one left and one right, each led 5,000 royal forest cavalry to rush up from both wings to meet Wang Peng's cavalry.
10,000 against 4,000, the Imperial Forest Cavalry has the absolute upper hand in terms of troops.
Facing the impact of the Dingzhou cavalry, the Luoyang infantry who were besieging the city quickly moved closer to the middle, preparing to close the military formation, while Ouyang Gangqiang and Xie Chengfeng's cavalry relied on the speed of the horse and rushed to the front of the infantry to meet the Dingzhou cavalry, and the opportunity to set up the formation for the infantry behind them.
"Sons, Tiezhou Iron Cavalry, invincible in the world, chisel through me!" Wang Peng roared and rushed forward.
Behind him, the soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Battalion raised their bayonet guns, let out a shout, first drew their arms back, twisted their waists, and exerted their strength violently, and the bayonets in their hands flew out with a whizzing sound, and they used the bayonet as javelins.
The Royal Forest Cavalry also has a bayonet in their hands, but what the instructor told them during the training is that the bayonet should be the moment the two sides come into contact, a weapon used to sprint, and when they are caught off guard, the opponent's throwing gun is like rain, arm strength, waist strength, plus the horsepower of the wild gallop, these bayonet guns are extremely powerful, even if some people react, they are also avoided, when the two sides are still fifty or sixty paces apart, the first batch of Royal Forest Cavalry who rushed in front have been planted off their horses.
"Chisel through!" The Dingzhou cavalry who threw the bayonet in his hand pulled out his saber with his backhand, the cold light flickered, stepped on the fallen enemy corpse, and swept into the opponent's cavalry like the wind, and in their rear, the Dingzhou cavalry kept throwing the assassination in his hand, opening the way for the comrades in front.
Wang Peng picked up an enemy lieutenant in front of him with an iron spear in his hand, threw him into the middle of the person, and then rounded the iron spear, swept the ground around, and knocked several enemy horsemen around him off his horse.
In a matter of moments, a deep bloody alley had been carved out of the enemy's horsemen.
Wang Peng has always had a legacy, he is the deputy general of the Hengdao Division, and he also personally leads the first cavalry battalion under the Hengdao Division, but it is precisely because of this that the first cavalry battalion that has just been expanded does not have a battalion name given by the lord himself, and this is the most desired honor for the generals of Dingzhou. Thinking that he has been in the army for many years, followed General Guan to fight in the east and west, and made countless meritorious contributions, but now the cavalry battalion under the command does not have a battalion name of his own, which cannot but make him feel regretful, thinking that even the cavalry battalion of the rising star Buyangu has been given the name of Feiling's battalion, Wang Peng's heart can't help but become hot.
After this battle, the 1st Cavalry Battalion will definitely have its own independent battalion name.
"Kill!" Wang Peng puffed out his eyes and rushed forward.
Wang Peng killed the Quartet, connected and stabbed several Royal Forest Cavalry captains under the horse, Ouyang Gang was so angry that he slapped the horse and went up, waving the double copper in his hand, hitting Wang Peng and hitting the horse's head, intending to kill the enemy general in front of the battle.
Wang Peng smiled, the iron spear went straight into the middle, ignoring the opponent's double copper at all, both sides were fast, even if Ouyang's strong double copper could hit Wang Peng, the opponent's iron gun would also pierce him through the heart.
Ouyang Gangqiang was shocked, crazy, the generals of Dingzhou are really crazy. When Tang Hu fought in Luoyang City, Li Qing's mad dog spirit has been passed down to this day, but not everyone can learn this.
Ouyang Gangqiang two copper fights, smashed the iron gun, the two sides staggered, Wang Peng shouted, pulled out the saddle side of the saddle with one hand, and cut it out with a backhand, with a bang, Ouyang Gangqiang's left-hand copper had just swept back, and the two weapons collided together, when there was a loud bang, the saber was missing a big hole, and the copper head of the iron and copper was gone. Both were numb wrists.
The two horses galloped away, Wang Peng inserted the saber back into the scabbard, held the iron spear in both hands, and once again killed the enemy horse.
Ten thousand horses clashed in the crowd, and the chance of the two meeting again was extremely small. The other party immediately worked extremely strongly, and Wang Peng made a good judgment to the other party.
In front of him, Wang Peng had already cut through the enemy formation, and when he looked up, he was taken aback, and at this moment, the Luoyang infantry had already lined up the military formation.
"Kill back, kill back, don't attack the enemy line!" Wang Peng roared loudly, reined in the horse's head, the war horse neighed, and stopped abruptly, while more cavalry behind him couldn't contain the horse's head, and slammed forward, with a whining sound, a rain of arrows completely enveloped the cavalry who rushed too far forward.
