Chapter 878: The strength of the Dingzhou cavalry

Fang Huiping is the general of the Minzhou army stationed in Cangping, with 10,000 horses under his command, Cangping not only has dangerous terrain, but also has tidal flats, swamps, wetlands, etc., it is extremely difficult to attack Cangping, but now, Fang Huiping actually received Liao Bin's order to divide his troops to attack Qingyang, and besiege Wei to save Zhao Zhice to relieve the siege of Niukou.

Niukou and Cangping, as the right-hand men of the Tianzi Mountain defense line, their importance should not be underestimated, this Fang Huiping naturally knows, but what makes him incomprehensible is why Liao Bin was actually pinned down by a mere 3,000 Dingzhou soldiers near Tianzi Mountain, if he has three strengths and two weaknesses in his attack, it is not only Niukou in distress, but even Cangping will be in crisis.

But judging from the order sent by Liao Bin, Niukou has obviously reached an extremely critical moment, if Niukou is not guaranteed, then the Tianzi Mountain defense line will encounter a crisis, on the whole, Liao Bin ordered himself to attack also has his own reasons.

Fang Huiping was always a little apprehensive in his heart, after leaving two thousand foot soldiers in Cangping, he led eight thousand horse infantry troops to attack Qingyang, with two thousand cavalry as the lead, leading the main force for half a day, if Qingyang was cheating, then it would be easier for the cavalry to get out, and at the same time, his main force would have enough time to return to Cangping, and after thinking carefully about all the possibilities, Fang Huiping then ordered to send troops.

Qingyang, Chen Zeyue listened to the report of the sentinel, and laughed: "Very good, the Cangping defenders really moved, moved well, Fang Huiping is also careful, such a layout is also considered to be in order, but spare you like a ghost, you have to drink my footwashing water. Summoned Xu Kexing, after Fang Huiping and us fought here, he once again lowered the intensity of the attack on Niukou, and at the same time made a false appearance of supporting our department, I believe that after Fang Huiping got the news, he would definitely pour his main force out of the nest, and when that time comes, it will be our chance."

Turning the wheelchair to the window, watching a round of slanting sun on the horizon is slowly falling, the red sun has been half blocked by the mountains in the distance, staring at the sun disappearing little by little on the top of the mountain in the distance, the last ray of light is retracted, only the last red cloud on the horizon remains. Chen Zeyue muttered: "Minzhou, you will become my prey, Zhang Aimin, you are like this round of sunset, it is already waning, and when the morning sun rises tomorrow, that round of the sun belongs to us Dingzhou people."

Turning the wheelchair to leave the window, Chen Zeyue picked up the helmet on the table, put it on his head, lifted the saber, rested it on his lap, thought about it, and put the saber back with a smile, "Let's go!" ”

A Captain Yunlu walked up and pushed Chen Zeyue out of the room.

"General Lu, I found the ranger of the Dingfang Army in front!" A sentry came quickly and reported loudly to Lu Ziyi.

"How many?" Lu Ziyi's heart is in the heart, the Dingzhou Iron Cavalry is famous all over the world, although over the years, the Minzhou Army has not been idle, compared with previous years, there have been earth-shaking changes, but if you don't fight with the Dingzhou Army, there is no bottom in your heart.

Lu Ziyi was a character who escaped death with Zhang Aimin over the snowy mountains and picked up a life, and he saw the power of the Dingzhou Iron Cavalry, and I have to say that in his heart, the fierceness of the Dingzhou Cavalry caused him some shadows.

"Not much, just a few rides."

"Probe!"

"Yes!"

"Prepare for battle!" Lu Ziyi pulled out the saber at his waist.

The main road to Qingyang, Geling, is a hill no more than 100 meters high, at this time, at the bottom of the mountain, five hundred cavalry are in full array, and on the mountain, about a thousand black-armored soldiers are arranged in three defensive circles, behind them, are ten eight-ox crossbows and ten trebuchets, and at a higher place, Chen Zeyue sits alone in a wheelchair, his lieutenant officer holds the banner of the Chinese army with the word Chen, standing behind him, from a distance, it looks like a statue, standing still.

On the entire Geling, although more than a thousand people gathered, it was quiet without a sound, and the air was almost frozen. The atmosphere of the great war permeated the entire Geling.

Although there are only more than 1,500 people on Geling, these 1,500 people have extraordinary origins, almost all of them are from the surviving people when Chen Zeyue commanded the defense in Baimadu, after going through those difficult years for several months, and supporting them in the midst of thousands of enemies for more than a year, the evil and murderous aura they have is simply incomparable to ordinary people, because they have long regarded themselves as a dead man, and to live until now, it is completely a gift from heaven.

After Chen Zeyue formed a new army, these more than 1,500 people became his personal guard.

Lu Ziyi's 2,000 cavalry appeared in the field of vision of the Dingzhou army above Geling, and the 2,000 cavalry formed a standard offensive formation of three cones, standing still. Lu Ziyi was very confused, although Ge Ling was guarding their road to Qingyang, how could these more than 1,000 people resist the impact of most of them? Even if he has two thousand cavalry under his command, he has the confidence to rush over, no matter how powerful the Dingzhou cavalry is, there are only more than five hundred cavalry, and the formation of more than 1,000 infantry troops above Geling is obviously a defensive formation, do they want to rely on these five hundred cavalry to block the impact of their brigade?

Lu Ziyi couldn't see through the plans of the Dingzhou army, so he hesitated a little, and did not give the order to launch an attack for a long time, seeing that Lu Ziyi did not move, under Geling, Huo Di, a general of the Dingzhou cavalry, put down his armor, and with his movements, the five hundred cavalry behind him made a noise, and at the same time repeated this action, the bayonet gun in his hand was raised, and the whole person was slightly lowered.

"Dingzhou Army, charge!" The general shouted loudly, and his voice was a little muffled because of the relationship between the masks.

"Dingzhou Army, Wansheng!" Five hundred horsemen roared in unison, knocked their horses on the belly of their horses, and five hundred horsemen rushed out like a whirlwind.

Su Ziyi's face was hot, and deep down, there was a feeling of being stabbed, and a sense of shame arose, his two thousand people did not dare to take the lead in attacking, and he actually let the other party's five hundred people take the lead in attacking, which was above morale, and he had already lost a lot.

"Kill!" He raised his sword and fell sharply.

"Kill!" The three cone-shaped clans roared towards the charging five hundred cavalry.

"What did you say?" Fang Huiping didn't believe his ears a little, "Chen Zeyue is in Geling? And a team of just over a thousand people? How is this possible? Looking at the messenger sent back by Lu Ziyi in front of him, Fang Huiping asked repeatedly.

"General Fang, there is nothing wrong with it, Chen Zeyue is in Geling, our entire army has seen it, Chen Zeyue is a cripple, sitting in a wheelchair, just above the highest peak in Geling."

Fang Huiping spread the map of Qingyang County on the ground and stared at it for a long time, "It seems that Chen Zeyue really doesn't have many troops in his hands, Qingyang City is not small, if you want to hold Qingyang City, you can't have less than three thousand people, no wonder Chen Zeyue wants to choose Geling to block us, with the topography of Geling, he can indeed complete the task of holding on to more than a thousand people."

"Report!" A soldier rushed over, "General Fang, news has come from our secret agent that since yesterday, the intensity of the attack on Niukou by Xu Kexing's army of the Dingzhou Army has suddenly decreased, and a Dingzhou army has suddenly left Niukou and is advancing towards Qingyang County."

Fang Huiping raised his head excitedly and slapped his face suddenly, "Great, this group of people must have been sent back by Xu Kexing to rescue Qingyang City, they only set off yesterday, then we have a day to attack Geling, Chen Zeyue is Li Qingai's general, if we can defeat and kill him, it will be a huge victory for us, and it will also open the door to victory for the battle of Minzhou, pass on my orders and speed up."

Fang Huiping gave an order, and the main force of the six thousand Minzhou Army, which was originally slowly advancing towards Qingyang, suddenly accelerated and approached Geling.

Lu Ziyi is looking forward to fighting with the Dingzhou cavalry, and using victory to drive away the fear of the Dingzhou cavalry in his heart, for a general, this kind of mental disorder is quite unfavorable for the battle, the current opportunity is too good, he has two thousand horsemen, and the opponent he once feared is only five hundred horsemen, only a quarter of his own, defeat them, eat them, the thorn that has been in the depths of his heart will be removed, in the future battle, he will no longer be afraid of the Dingzhou cavalry, Because the Dingzhou cavalry was not invincible.

He was excited, and deeply ashamed of his previous hesitation, and now he was blood-red, and he rushed ahead, and he wanted to wash away the insult he had just received with the blood of his enemies.

The Minzhou cavalry offensive formation was lined up in a zigzag shape to keep their impact in a constant shape, wave after wave like a sea wave, so that the enemy had no chance to breathe, this offensive formation they have practiced countless times, quite skilled.

One thousand meters, five hundred meters, three hundred meters, the distance between the two sides is rapidly approaching.

Steeply, Lu Ziyi's pupils contracted, and the other party changed formations, and actually divided his troops again.

The layman doesn't understand the sudden change of formation in such a high-speed sprint, but Lu Ziyi, who is a cavalry general, knows very much about the difficulty of this, as long as one person moves a little slower and changes direction inaccurately, it will become an obstacle to the rear cavalry, so that the formation is no longer condensed, and in the cavalry duel, if one side is in a compact formation and one side is scattered, it will be disastrous. Although Lu Ziyi was very confident in his cavalry, he never dared to try to change formation in this kind of high-speed hedging.

The Dingzhou cavalry is famous all over the world, it is indeed worthy of its reputation, in the change of formation, they did not have anyone to give orders at all, but with the two generals who led the charge in front, they naturally completed this transformation, the process was as natural as flowing water, and the five hundred cavalry were divided into two hundred and fifty on one side, avoiding Lu Ziyi's head-on attack.

One hundred meters, it seemed that the two Dingzhou cavalry that were going to impact the Minzhou cavalry zigzag cavalry attack team completed the turn again, this time the turn made Lu Ziyi's soul scatter, because when the opponent completed the turn again, the direction of the soldiers was already pointing to the two wedges of his first attack formation, and at this time, the two wedges had become his biggest weakness.

"How is that possible?" Lu Ziyi shouted wildly in his heart, how could he change formation and turn again at such a short distance, and his speed did not decrease at all?

On top of Ge Ling, a smile appeared on Chen Zeyue's face, "Let me show you what the real Dingzhou cavalry is!" ”
