Chapter 736: The Brave Wins When They Meet on a Narrow Road

The Hebei cavalry has the inertia of high-speed charging of war horses, and as long as they have the courage to sacrifice, it is not difficult to crash this formation into powder.

However, Lu Shishen, the commander of the battlefield, vetoed Guo Xiaoke's proposal to charge and break the formation, Lu Shishen was bold but careful, after the battle just now, he had already seen that Du Fuwei was indeed an experienced general. And the thousands of soldiers and horses around him are definitely a real elite. To charge this array, they would also have to pay considerable casualties.

The Hebei Army is different from other armies, every soldier has undergone long-term training and spent a lot of money on equipment. And the light cavalry is an expensive class, and every light cavalry is quite valuable. In the first battle of Heishitan, Li Mi, the overlord of the Central Plains, was defeated, and the Hebei army dispatched more than 100,000 people before and after, but the number of casualties was very small. Lu Shishen was never willing to let his subordinates pay heavy casualties in order to win this forward battle. Such a victory will only be criticized, not praised.

The blood splashed by the recruits on the front row did not make Du Fuwei feel soft, compared to the high-speed and mobile Hebei light cavalry, the rest of the Huainan Army could only fight back with their lives to ensure that they would not be defeated by the Hebei Army.

"Recruitment!" Under the handsome flag of Du Zi flying high, Du Fuwei raised his two-handed sword, roared angrily, and the long sword pointed straight to the sky.

"Bravely step forward, there is no advance or retreat, kill, kill, kill!" Thousands of people recruited soldiers to the death, let out a burst of roars, the sound shook the Han.

In the years when the Huainan Army was transferred to Jianghuai, whenever the Huainan Army was in danger, as long as Du Fuwei drew his sword and shouted the word Shangzhao, all the Shangzheng Army would respond to Du Fuwei with this sentence representing the battle cry of righteousness and courage. And whenever this battle cry was called, no matter how ferocious the enemy they were facing, all the recruits would rush straight to the enemy camp without hesitation until the last drop of blood was shed or victory was achieved.

In the rousing battle horns, the morale of the recruited army also rose to the highest point. More than 4,000 warriors, armed with spears, slowly launched a counterattack against the cavalry of the Hebei Army.

Behind those Hebei light cavalry. It was Yingchuan City, where they had just left. There was still a logistics unit of the Huainan Army there, and they had just left there, and the city was still in their hands. Only by breaking through these light cavalry can the 50,000 Huainan army return to the strong and tall city.

In the face of the counterattack of the Huainan army with foot to horse, even Lu Shishen was enraged.

Lu Shishen is unwilling to fight hard, which does not mean that he does not dare to fight. If he had been driven away by a group of infantry today, he would have no face to return to Hebei.

"Meet on a narrow road!" Lu Shishen raised the lance with one hand, and used honor to inspire the fighting spirit in the hearts of his subordinates.

"The brave wins!" The cavalry responded loudly. There was a slight tremor at the end. These two sentences are linked together, and they are the battle cry when King Chen formed the broken military camp and went to battle for the first time. This sentence that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road has long become a phrase that every soldier of the Hebei Army remembers in mind, representing the highest combat honor of Hebei soldiers.

The seniors in the Hebei military camp once proudly said that when they were in Liaodong, whenever they shouted these two slogans, the entire grassland and mountains would tremble. Whether it is the Goguryeo, or the Turkic, Khitan, or Tatar, those herdsmen who have always lived on horseback have nothing but a share of falling flowers and flowing water in front of this army. No one dared to face the edge of the Liaodong Army. No one dared to face the wrath of this army of honor. And today, when these two sentences rang out again. Every time, the cavalry of the Hebei Army burned an incomparably passionate battle spirit in their hearts, as if they had returned to the battlefield outside the Liaodong Saiwai that their predecessors had mentioned again and again.

20,000 Hebei light cavalry against 50,000 Huainan Army cavalry troops, the Huainan Army has an absolute advantage in numbers, and in terms of mobility, the Hebei Army has an absolute advantage. …,

With the fighting spirit in his heart and the honor on his back, the two armies collided again with the ferocity of two waves. On one side is the cavalry troops rushing at high speed, and on the other side is the death squad that looks at death as if it were home.

Chess against opponents. will meet Liangcai, the two armies are needle-to-needle, and wave after wave of fierce collision together. Desperately strangled.

In an instant, both sides suffered heavy losses. With the skillful Huainan recruiters, relying on the advantages of the group and the heart of fighting to the death, the Hebei cavalry that broke into the army formation was stabbed one by one. But the mad war horses and the crazy Hebei cavalry often have to pull one or two opponents on their backs before they die. Not far away, Du Fuwei was still waving the battle flag, driving his brothers into the death vortex.

Directly behind the military formation, Lu Shishen clenched the long lance, and the knuckles of his fingers were already blue.

This bloody struggle is not only the strength of the two armies, but also the will of the two armies.

The two sides are evenly matched, but the Hebei soldiers have one more war horse and are condescending. The combat effectiveness of the single army is higher than that of the Huainan Army, while the Huainan Army relies on the formation and the number of superior soldiers and horses to constantly narrow the gap between the combat effectiveness of the two armies.

"Stabilize the formation!" Du Fuwei stared at the front line, his eyes blood-red.

Despite his best efforts, the Hebei cavalry still formed breakthroughs in many places. Seeing that his infantry battle array was on the verge of collapse, Du Fuwei took out a horn from his waist and whined. Hearing the sound of the horn, the Huainan soldiers, who had been rushed into sections, regained their spirits, and under the command of the low-level generals closest to them, they formed a small formation on the spot, delaying the enemy's advance to the greatest extent.

"Whoa!"

On the fierce battlefield, the black skull banner representing the recruitment suddenly fell crookedly.

Under that banner, a hundred Hebei cavalry had been killed here, and the tall Yue cavalry captain at the head of the team wielded a heavy axe and cut down the flagpole of the military flag on the recruitment.

As soon as the battle flag fell, the morale of the Hebei cavalry became more and more high, as if it was a signal, and countless cavalry followed the gap opened by the cavalry, like a river thawing and a dam bursting. The war horses flew over with their hooves, and countless horses and sabers danced, stabbing down the Huainan army one by one.

"Poof!" There was another sound of a sharp blade entering the flesh, and the general of the Huainan Army was full of surprise when he saw that he was flying higher and higher, but his torso remained in place, leaving only the headless neck that was splashing blood high.

"Phew!" The successful captain of the Hebei cavalry spat lightly at the corpse, held the war horse, and continued to rush towards the Duzi Shuai flag flying high in the distance.

The 100 cavalry of Wang Daniu, the captain of the Yue cavalry, were like a sharp knife, drilling into the cracks in the battle formation. And he went specifically at those general-level figures and those standard-bearers in the army. On the fierce battlefield, Wang Daniu took his group and played a decapitation battle.

Along the way, they have cut down more than a dozen officer-looking guys, and they have cut down and collected more than a dozen team flags. And just now, Wang Da Niu even cut down the skeleton banner of the enemy's most ferocious army and collected it in his arms.

Now, the enemy officer at the top of the team can no longer satisfy Wang Daniu's ambitions, and his goal has been directly locked on Du Fuwei, the commander of the Huainan Army under Du Zishuai, who is dressed in white and singing with a little white face.

"Recruitment!" Looking at the increasingly broken front, Du Fuwei, the commander of the Huainan Army, shouted with all his strength.

"Bravely step forward, there is no advance or retreat, kill, kill, kill!" In mid-air, the soldiers recruited were roaring. It's just that at this time, this majestic and passionate battle horn sounds very little. The soldiers recruited have suffered heavy casualties, and countless soldiers have fallen on the way forward, and none of them have retreated.

"Recruitment!" Duvoway's eyes moistened, wiped away a handful of tears, and then swung his sword and urged his mount. The white dragon horse under his crotch let out a roar, empty and desolate. …,

It did not speed up immediately after listening to its master, and pulled the reins with a few bloodied men and Duvowe's own soldiers. "Dashuai, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" Someone was crying, and the voice sounded familiar.

Duvowe turned his head, and in front of his horse were several of his sons. Wang Xiongdan, Kan Ling, Ximen Junyi and others, at this time, all the generals were injured and covered in blood. Kan Ling, known as brave, had a huge bloody cut on his chest, his skin and flesh turned out, and his white miserable sternum was exposed. I don't know how much it cost him to rush to Du Fuwei's side with a team of soldiers, almost everyone on the left and right robes was wounded, and blood was dripping down the edge of the armor.

"Xiongdan, Kan Ling, Junyi, you came just in time, let's step forward to break the formation together!" Du Fuwei smiled a little desolately, pointed at the two sides that had clearly distinguished the winner with his long sword, and said loudly.

"Father!" Wang Xiongdan pulled Du Fuwei's horse and said in a deep voice, "Father, we have lost this battle. The Hebei army is too fierce, and we are already at a disadvantage. Now that the casualties have been exhausted, our array has been broken, and we can no longer resist the onslaught of the opposing cavalry. Father, let's retreat. Fu Bo with 80,000 brothers has arrived in Huaiyang with the army, let's withdraw, and we can fight again with the whole army in the future, and it is not too late for me to take revenge! ”

"No, it's not time to decide the winner, how can we say defeat now with 50,000 soldiers and horses against 20,000 enemies. You all get on my horse, my soldiers of the Huainan Army, until the last moment, I will never retreat! ”

"Whoosh!" A cold arrow burst through the air and struck him in the chest. Du Fuwei only felt a sharp pain in his chest, his eyes went black, and he fell off his horse.

"Break the formation! Break the formation! Suddenly, the battlefield was filled with the drums of war, "Knock-knock," resounding throughout the battlefield.

The Hebei Army launched a full-army assault, Wang Xiongdan's face changed, he jumped forward and picked up Du Fuwei on his back, shouting, "Retreat, the whole army retreats!" Withdraw to Huaiyang! ”
