Chapter 338: Cavalry Can Fight Like This (Part II)

The duel between the cavalry and the infantry is a massacre with a huge disparity in strength, not to mention that the Qingfeng cavalry on the battlefield is the elite of the elite and the king of the cavalry, while the 20,000 Lingnan infantry soldiers are just ordinary soldiers? If it were replaced by the 20,000 back soldiers around Sang Xiong, the result on the battlefield would be different, and the two kings would fight together, and it would be a lose-lose ending.

It's a pity that there are so many ifs in life.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end of this battle, from the very beginning, Sang Xiong sent 20,000 elite foot soldiers to fight, and it was already doomed, and Sang Xiong was going to lose.

On the battlefield, the warring sides have fallen into endless madness, Lingnan soldiers are worthy of the title of barbarians, even if the strength is not as good as Qingfeng Cavalry, they are already in a disadvantaged position, and they are becoming the lambs to be slaughtered by Qingfeng Cavalry, but they are still fighting, still dancing the war knife in their hands, and killing Qingfeng Cavalry without hesitation.

Qingfeng cavalry is a veteran of a hundred battles, accustomed to seeing bloody scenes, experienced a cruel battlefield baptism, in the face of the Lingnan infantry soldiers this almost suicidal rush, not only did they not have mercy and pity, but also the fighting spirit was more high, the murderous spirit was more fierce, and the war knife in their hands was more powerful.

In an instant, I saw that the situation on the battlefield had changed, and the 10,000 Qingfeng cavalry had only lost nearly 3,000 people, but 10,000 of the 20,000 Lingnan infantry had been killed, and 10,000 people had been continuously beheaded in the rush of the 7,000 Qingfeng cavalry.

"Teacher, we can't do this anymore, or they'll all die!" The little prince Bai Bairen really couldn't stand it, so he pleaded with Sang Xiong. He also knew that Dao Sang Xiong's plan was to sacrifice 20,000 people to buy time for Lan Yu and Duan Hu, but he really couldn't bear to see his compatriots on the battlefield being cut down by the Great Yan Qingfeng like cabbage.

"Tianren, I have said before that I am a teacher, I have said that you are not in charge of the army, you are so soft-hearted, how can you lead the army of the Baiyan clan in the future, how can you conquer the world?" In the face of Bai Bairen's plea, Sang Xiong was not only unmoved, but began to teach Bai Bairen a lesson, "You have to remember today's lesson that as a coach, you can make a little sacrifice for the overall situation, and you can pay a little price for a big victory." It's all worth it! ”

Seeing the teacher preaching on the spot, Bai Bairen, who knew the mulberry bear, knew that no matter what he said, the teacher would not change his mind, so he could only nod silently.

"Don't dodge, look directly at what you're facing, you have to remember that this is war, you need to know how cruel war is, only then can you understand how much responsibility a commander has on his shoulders." Sang Xiong saw at a glance that Bai Bairen didn't dare to face the bloody scene on the battlefield, so he immediately reprimanded.

"Yes, Teacher!" Bai Bairen had no choice but to endure the pain in his chest and move his gaze to the battlefield.

At this time, his eyes happened to fall on Ji Xuanyuan's body, and he saw Ji Xuanyuan riding a horse and rushing forward, and two Lingnan foot soldiers attacked him left and right, but his war knife drew an arc in front of the horse, and the war horse continued to charge, and met the two enemies who rushed forward, and the two Lingnan foot soldiers just now left their bodies after their war horses rushed far away.

The red blood gushed out and shone dazzlingly in the sun, shining Bai Bairen's eyes stinged, and he wanted to avoid his gaze and stop looking at the bloody scenes on the battlefield, but his teacher was always supervising him, so he could only resist the urge to vomit and continue to pay attention to the battle situation on the battlefield.

"Xin An, do you know who this person is? The combat effectiveness is so strong, it is really in the expectation of this general! Sang Xiong's gaze has never left Ji Xuanyuan, and when he saw that Ji Xuanyuan was still fighting tirelessly like an iron man for so long, he was also calm, so he asked the scout captain on the side.

"General, his name is Ji Xuanyuan, he is a child of the royal family of the Great Yan Ji clan, and he is a deputy general personally selected by Ji Qingchen among the children of the royal family when he went south this time." Xin An replied.

Dare to make the generals of Dayan, just when Ji Qingchen led the army south, he already understood it clearly. Because Xin An's identity is not only as simple as the scout captain, otherwise he would not be so valued by Sang Xiong, his other identity is the leader of the secret guard of the Lingnan Yi clan in Dayan.

"Children of the Ji royal family?" Sang Xiong frowned.

He knows very well what the prince of the Great Yan Ji clan has withered into in the past few decades, if it wasn't for Emperor Yan's hard support, it is estimated that there will be no one in the Ji royal family who can fight, and this is why he has the tragic experience of the prince dying in the battle to the Yanmen Pass Prison Army, no way, none of his own clansmen have a great talent to command the army, and the seven great families have produced many talents, that is, the Ji family is the royal family, and the actual controller of the Great Yan River, but the pressure is too great!

Sang Xiong thought that the crown prince Ji Qingchen died in battle, and after the twilight of Emperor Yan, the royal family of the Great Yan Ji clan had no generals to lead, but he didn't expect that there would be a Ji Hongchang and Ji Qingchen, and now there is another tiger general Ji Xuanyuan.

This had to make him sigh that the luck of the Ji royal family was really good, and he couldn't say it.

If you put it on the empires of previous dynasties, when there is a talent gap among the royal family, it is estimated that the country has long since perished.

"Where are Lan Yu and Duan Hu located?" Sang Xiong asked suddenly. When he asked this question, there was a flash of murder in his eyes, and he was very dissatisfied with the speed of Lan Yu and Duan Hu's march.

In fact, his requirements for the two of them were too high, no matter how close Duan Hu and Lan Yu were to Pingmapo, but if they didn't let Ji Qingchen's army find them when they walked to Pingmapo, they would have to stay at least seven or eight miles away from Pingmapo, and all their foot soldiers would definitely take a while to rush to Pingmapo from seven or eight miles away.

"It's almost there!" Xin An said.

He didn't explain too much to Mulberry Bear, because according to the straight-line distance between the two of them and Pingmapo, they should have arrived a long time ago. But they didn't dare to be Sang Xiong or Lan Yu and Duan Hu, they were all a little negligent, the terrain of Pingmapo was hilly, which limited the group charge of Ji Qingchen's cavalry, but also because the road twists and turns affected their marching speed, they would not be able to rush to the battlefield in time.

This is the mistake of Sang Xiong as the coach, the same disappointment as the captain of the scout, and the mistake of Lan Yu and Duan Hu as the commanders of the two armies.

That's why Xin An kept silent, and didn't dare to tell Sang Xiong such a reason in this anger.

He is not stupid, he knows that at this time, the battle situation has fallen into an unfavorable side for his side, which is equivalent to denying Sang Xiong's command ability, and then telling him that when the two armies cannot arrive in time, because of Sang Xiong's deployment error, he knows very well what the general will do in order to cover up his mistakes.

Ji Qingchen, who was watching the battle on the other side, saw this, not only did not look happy, but frowned a little.

Because he saw that 20,000 foot soldiers were killed by 10,000 Qingfeng cavalry and were about to be wiped out, Sang Xiong did not send troops to fight, which made him wonder in his heart, what was Sang Xiong going to do, was he delaying time? But what is he procrastinating for?

Just as Ji Qingchen was thinking like this, suddenly two fast horses rushed up the mountain like a hurricane and rushed in front of him. Before the war horse could stand firmly, the knight on the horse had already jumped off the horse, strode and stumbled in front of Ji Qingchen and said breathlessly, "Back to Your Highness, we have found the enemy six miles to the left, and they are about forty thousand, and they are moving towards us!" ”

"Your Highness, there is also an enemy on our right, the number is about forty thousand, and they are moving in our direction, and it is estimated that we will be able to reach the battlefield after half a pillar of incense." Another scout said at the same time.

Suddenly, when he heard the news of the two scouts, Ji Qingchen's face became a little gloomy. Because at this moment, he knew why the Sang Bear would ambush himself in Pingmapo, and he was willing to sacrifice 20,000 people to delay time, he was buying time for these 80,000 foot soldiers!

At the same time, what made him even more uneasy was that Sang Xiong was so sure that he only had 30,000 iron horsemen around him, not 130,000 troops? With Sang Xiong's character, he didn't have the courage to make such a crazy decision between the 30,000 army and the 130,000 army!

But no matter how much Ji Qingchen doubted in his heart, now he knew that he was really surrounded by a mulberry bear.

Therefore, he immediately made a deployment after a little contemplation.

"Mu Zhan, you lead 10,000 iron cavalry in your headquarters to immediately charge the mulberry bear, and you must break through the mulberry bear's defense line within half a pillar of incense." Ji Qingchen ordered in a sharp tone.

"No!" Mu Zhan took the order and rode away quickly.

And Ji Qingchen moved his gaze to Li You again, and continued to order, "Li You, when this king launches a charge, after you lead the men and horses of your headquarters, you must block the army of 80,000 Yi tribes that are killing our left and right flanks." ”

This task was even more arduous than Mu Zhan's, because Mu Zhan only broke through the defense line of 20,000 people, but he wanted to stop the rush of 80,000 people, but after Ji Qingchen gave the order, Li You immediately took the order without frowning.

At this time, Ji Qingchen moved his gaze to the battlefield and found that Ji Xuanyuan's remaining seven thousand Qingfeng cavalry had already begun to slaughter the remaining less than 10,000 Lingnan foot soldiers, and the wooden battle on the side had already led the army to start a charge.

"Sonorous-" sound! Ji Qingchen pulled out the wolf blade on his waist, because he was about to prepare for battle. At this time, Li You, Ji Xuanyuan and Mu Zhan all had tasks, and he was not exempt from vulgarity as the main general, and his task was even more arduous, that is, when Mu Zhan broke through Sang Xiong's defense line, he led three hundred Xiao cavalry battalion soldiers to rush into the formation, kill in front of Sang Xiong, and kill this Yi general, only in this way can the current crisis of being besieged be solved.

When Sang Xiong saw Ji Qingchen's actions, he knew that Ji Qingchen had discovered the armies of Lan Yu and Duan Hu on both wings, so he decisively issued an order and let 20,000 soldiers rush onto the battlefield.

Because he knew very well that since Ji Qingchen knew the traces of Lan Yu and Duan Hu, it was estimated that the two of them were not far from the battlefield, and at this time it was the best moment for him to send 20,000 soldiers to fight.
