Chapter 18 Chen Cang's Soldiers
On the first day of the seventh month, the Liangzhou army conquered Zhangshan, the southern governor, and first attacked Yinping with 500 golden-winged tiger cavalry for five consecutive days. On the sixth day of the first month, with 5,000 mountain wolf riders as the forward, 60,000 troops poured out of the nest and went straight to Yinping!
Yang Huai, Gao Pei and other generals of the Yizhou Army were tragically attacked by air raids for several days, although they did not say that they suffered heavy losses, but they were passively beaten but had no power to fight back, but they were full of heart. Thinking that the enemy army has the advantage of air warfare, and it is not a way to defend the city and camp, but it is not a way, I heard that the scout knew that the Liangzhou army was coming, so he asked the governor Zhao Wei for battle, and wanted to lead the army to intercept and frustrate the sharp spirit of the Liangzhou army!
Zhao Wei did not stop him, and gave the two of them 10,000 soldiers and horses each, and went out of the city to intercept them.
Yang Huai and Gao Pei led an army of 20,000 out of Yinping and looked straight to the north. The army waved its flags, and it seemed that its morale was like a rainbow, setting off bursts of dust, and the formation was terrifying, and when it reached six miles outside Yinping, it collided with the forward of the Xiliang Army - five thousand mountain wolf riders!
Hearing the howling of ghosts and wolves from afar, and seeing the sky-high smoke and dust raised in the distance, Yang Huai and Gao Pei hurriedly ordered to stop the army, lined up on the spot, and set up a position.
Before the formation was stabilized, the enemy army appeared in sight!
"Wolves!"
At a glance, seeing the mountain wolf riding a huge and hideous wolf, the Yizhou soldiers were all in an uproar, and the faces of Yang Huai and Gao Ping immediately became gloomy.
"Silence! Silence! β
"Sword and shield hand stabilize the formation, erect the shield, and prepare for defense!"
"The pikemen are behind, the archers are ready, listen to me!"
"Where's the herald!?"
Although they were shocked by the fierce and ferocious cavalry in front of them, after all, the two of them had been in battle for a long time, and when they commanded, they were orderly!
At the speed of a mountain wolf, in the blink of an eye, it was hundreds of paces away. Facing the Yizhou army in formation, the mountain wolf rode at the slightest speed, as if he saw a piece of fat, and pounced viciously in the howl of the ghost crying wolf!
"Beat the drums!"
Yang Huai's face was solemn: "Boost morale!" β
Knock knock!
The sound of drums filled the sky, shook the earth, and shook people's hearts. This burst of drums was like a heart booster, which made the Yizhou soldiers, who were almost frightened when they saw the mountain wolf riding, immediately cheered up!
"Crossbowmen ready!"
Gao Pei raised his right hand!
Airplanes!
Suddenly, a buzzing sound sounded, as if thousands of wild bees rose into the sky, overwhelming the sky. There are still two or three hundred steps away from the Yizhou military array, and the mountain wolf riders are all open their bows and arrows! That action, tempered thousands of times, that tacit understanding, but thousands of people are the same!
In the eyes of the Yizhou army, it was like a huge giant, raising his bow and crossbow and shooting arrows! That kind of earth-shattering momentum made many people tremble.
The rain of arrows like dark clouds hit the plantains, crackling and falling!
In an instant, the shield array in front of the Yizhou military array was like a pie that had been bitten, and it was immediately emptied of a large piece! Suddenly, the screams were endless!
A large thorny jungle, abruptly standing in front of the Yizhou army formation, thousands of Yizhou sword and shield hands were nailed to the ground, those heavy wooden shields wrapped in cowhide, they couldn't resist the edge of the arrows at all, and the pieces were shot into honeycombs!
Airplanes!
Before the Yizhou army could react, the second rain of arrows fell again!
At this time, the wolf ride of the five thousand mountains has already reached a stone's throw away!
Yang and Gao's faces were gloomy and terrifying. Before they could send a single arrow or stone, they had already lost more than 2,000 people. Before the battle was engaged, he was hit tragically, which is simply too much deception!
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! β
Seeing that the third wave of arrows from the enemy cavalry was thrown again, Yang Huai couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately ordered to fight back!
Hearing Yang Huai's order, the crossbowmen of the Yizhou army couldn't wait to shoot the arrows. Because of the panic, a large part of them lost their strength halfway and landed on the ground, and a small part landed on the head of the front part of the mountain wolf rider!
Yang Huai and Gao Pei opened their mouths slightly, nervous in their hearts, but to their disappointment and frustration, most of the arrows that fell on their heads were dodged and blocked!
Yes, dodge, parry!
In the frightened eyes of Yang Huai and Gao Pei, in the face of the rain of arrows, the hundreds of horses in front of the mountain wolf rode as if they could predict the landing point of the arrows, and they dodged flexibly! Even if you can't dodge, there are comrades on the side, swinging a knife to block it!
In the inherent concepts of Yang Huai and Gao Pei, when the cavalry charges on a large scale, it is impossible to dodge. One was too fast to dodge, and the two cavalry were clustered around each other, and there was no room to dodge.
However, the mountain wolf ride broke the inherent ideology in their minds!
Flexible!
Tacit understanding!
Gathering and scattering impermanence, advance and retreat as expected!
In the face of the rain of arrows, these wolf riders can disperse in an instant, and the dense formation will be immediately converted into a loose formation, making the dense arrow rain much less powerful!
In the face of arrows that can threaten the knight, the wolf can nimbly turn and dodge in the midst of a rapid charge!
The whole wolf riding station, from three or five, to three or five hundred, to three or five thousand, seemed to have an invisible thread that connected them together, or gathered, or scattered, or covered each other, or reminded each other. This series of incredible movements, but without making any sound!
"Shoot the arrows! Keep firing the arrows! β
Yang Huai gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.
Patches of arrows blocked the road, as if the rain was pouring down, as if the sky had broken a hole!
But nothing worked!
Dodge that can dodge, block that can block, dodge that can't dodge, and if you can't block, avoid the vital point. Protected by fine armor, whether knights or wolves, except for a few minor injuries, they were not damaged at all!
After only a few moments, but only ten breaths, the wolf rode through the arrow array and came to the front of the formation!
Whew!!
The wolf roared angrily, jumped up, carried the knight on his back, opened his bloody mouth, showed his sharp fangs, and pounced into the Yizhou military formation!
Under the sun, pieces of shining and dazzling sword light are like nine days of thunder, making people unable to open their eyes! Then, one by one, the heads fell to the ground, and the pillars of blood that rose to the sky drenched the earth!
"Pikemen! Pikemen step forward! β
Seeing that the sword and shield hands were slaughtered, Yang and Gao's faces were as black as the bottom of the pot, and they hurriedly ordered the pikemen to step forward, wanting to resist the wolf riders.
Chen Cang is a dangerous pass in the world, and it is needless to say that the city walls are thick. At the beginning, the kingdom led an army of 100,000 and attacked in turn for several months, but it could only stop at the city, and finally its morale was exhausted and it was broken by Huangfu Song.
Now, in Chen Cang, there are 100,000 troops, guarded by three generals, Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Lu Bu, which can be described as a great force!
When Dong Zhuo learned that Li Zheng had used troops against Yizhou, he immediately dispatched Zhonglang to send Niu Fu to Chencang to control Li Dao, Guo Yan and LΓΌ Bu.
Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Lu Bu are all fierce generals, and they have always been dissatisfied with each other. Only Niu Fu, whose official position is higher than the three of them and is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, can be reconciled and suppressed in the middle.
Niu Fu arrived at Chencang, and after taking over the military power, he immediately summoned the generals and issued a military order for Dong Zhuo of Xiangguo!
"Li Chongxiao of Liangzhou used troops against Yizhou, aiming to seize Yizhou and coerce Guanzhong. Xiangguo ordered us to send troops immediately to force Li Chongxiao to withdraw his troops from Yizhou! All the generals and subordinates, immediately follow me to attack and send troops to Longguan! β
But Lu Bu got up and hugged his fists and said: "The general is slow, I have a shot, if it succeeds, I will force Liangzhou to return to the army!" β
"Oh?!"
Niu Fu squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Bu carefully. In his opinion, Lu Bu is brave and strategic, where is the strategy? But after all, he is the son of Xiangguo, so he can't help but give face, so he said: "General Lu, please speak!" β
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, looking at Niu Fu's contemptuous eyes, he was very unhappy, but said: "Li Chongxiao sent troops to Yizhou this time, and reinforced Longguan and Gaonu, presumably the interior is extremely empty!" The last general asked for orders to lead 20,000 cavalry in his headquarters to attack Lingzhou and smash Huanglong! As long as Lingzhou is broken, or Li Chongxiao is killed, Liangzhou will inevitably decline, and this victory will be over! β
Hearing this, Niu Fu couldn't help but take a slight breath, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense, so he said, "This plan is wonderful!" After that, he turned his face to Li Dao and Guo Yan again: "What do you think of it? β
"Brilliant plan!"
Although the two of them were not used to Lu Bu's arrogant appearance, the current strategy was just right, so they both agreed.
If it were put on ordinary people, it was unlikely that this strategy would succeed. But if it is Lu Bu, it is not. This person has been commanding the cavalry for a long time, and the cavalry tactics are superb, with him as the main general, a surprise attack on Lingzhou, and there is a great possibility of success.
"Good!"
Niu Fu got up, clapped his palms and smiled: "That is the case, Lu Bu listens to the order!" β
"The last general!"
"Order you to lead 20,000 elite cavalry in your headquarters to attack Lingzhou, if you can succeed, Xiangguo will have a heavy reward!"
"Whoa!"
"The two generals, Li Dao and Guo Yan, immediately raised troops with their generals and sent troops to Longguan!"
"Whoa!"
Lingzhou.
Li Zheng got Zhang Shan's message and knew that Huang Quan and others were ready to serve him, so he was in a good mood at the moment. Since Zhao Wei, Huang Quan, Yan Yan and others have their hearts set on Liangzhou, then Yinping's 150,000 army is not to worry about, and it must be ready to go. Just wait for the yin to calm down, and the army can drive straight into Chengdu for a long time!
At this point, there is no suspense in Yizhou. Then Liu Junlang has become a lonely person, what can he do?
Li Zheng has always been bold and careful, although he knows that Yizhou is already in the palm of his hand, but he does not take it lightly. There is also a crouching tiger in Guanzhong!
Therefore, most of his attention was focused on the area of Hanyang Longguan and Gaonu in Bingzhou.
He knew very well that once Dong Zhuo learned that Liangzhou had sent troops to Yizhou, he would definitely not be without action!
Chen Cang has Dong Zhuo's 100,000 troops, and Hedong has 780,000, which is not a small number. Once the fight starts, it will be a big war that shocks the world!
As soon as his mind moved, the system core in the depths of his mind projected the entire terrain map of the territory owned by Li Zheng in front of him.
Including the entire Liangzhou, the western part of Bingzhou, and the entire Hetao, this large area occupies nearly one-fifth or sixths of the entire Han Dynasty.
Whenever Li Zheng was bored, he would project a map. When you see this map, your mind will be as open as a map, and everything in the world will include your heart!
That's a kind of superiority, a kind of absolute authority!
On the map, the mountains and rivers are vividly visible, the avenues and branch roads are covered in the net, the cities and towns are like dotted stars, and the mineral deposit symbols are different and dotted among them.
This is all Li Zheng's!
His eyes swept from northwest to southeast, he saw Dunhuang, Tianhe City, Gaonu, and Wudu, and finally when Li Zheng set his eyes on Anding County, a red dot on the map caught his attention!
