Chapter 120: The truth is that cavalry is really stronger than infantry
Blood and sword light blend, life is so fragile.
After half an hour of killing, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in front of him, and the hooves of the war horse under his crotch were already soaked with blood.
The swirling blade did not stop, because there were still many enemies, and in addition to the enemies who fled to the high slopes of the loess, there were many enemies who fled back the same way. The enemy in front of Gaobi Ridge had been cleared, and under the leadership of Zhou Huchen and Liu Qi, the cavalry team began to turn around and pursue the remnants of the fleeing enemy.
With the help of his own soldiers, Hao Shaoqi finally got rid of the envelope of the large army, and he finally saw these enemies who raided him. What made him incomprehensible was that these cavalrymen were completely all the way, and they couldn't distinguish between generals and soldiers at all, and the brown bubble nail armor was exactly the same. There was no difference between the helmet on his head and the red tassel, and even the war knife was not different, and the Zhouzi banner made him a little frightened.
This should be Zhou Yuji's cavalry, Hao Shaoqi once faced Zhou Yuji in Henan back then, of course, he was the same as the general Li Guo, who was driven out. I'm impressed! Could it be that Zhou Yuji personally led the troops this time?
Hao Shaoqi didn't understand, how could Zhou Yuji have so many cavalry, the cost of cavalry was unimaginable, how could he afford it?
Originally, he wanted to organize people to turn back to meet him, but now, Hao Shaoqi is dead.
Under the command of Zhou Yuji's thousands of cavalry, defeat turned into victory, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream, and Hao Shaoqi didn't even dare to dream of it. Hao Shaoqi knows Zhou Yuji's way of fighting, that is, he never stops, his soldiers are completely crazy, even if they die, they will drag you to be buried with them, although Hao Shaoqi is known for his bravery, but he thinks that he is not brain-dead yet, and it seems that he should continue to live for a while.
If the soldier is gone, he can still recruit him, and if his life is gone, he doesn't have to think about anything. Therefore, Hao Shaoqi ran very fast, because he was still riding a horse, and as for the foot soldiers, he could only listen to the mandate of heaven to see if those enemy cavalry and God had taken care of them.
Continuing to chase for a distance of nearly ten miles, Zhou Huchen began to slow down, because he felt that the speed of the horse was decreasing, and the horsepower was about to be unable to keep up.
It's enough, just let Li Zicheng know that there is a strong army in front of him. It is not enough to hit once, and then hit it later. There is no point in killing many people, Zhou Huchen knows the future process, although the combat effectiveness of these thieves is not strong, but after all, they are still a liliang, they can be kept, and they can add trouble to the enemy in the future.
The cavalry of the brigade slowly stopped, and the soldiers began to dismount, and no one cared if there were enemies on the slopes on both sides. What's more, Zhou Huchen did not issue a military order to continue to clean up the bandits at all, and now it is time to rest.
Opening the blanket behind them, the soldiers took out their water bladders one after another, and began to moisten their chapped lips and hot throats.
Not far ahead was Fenshui, and under the command of the officer, the soldiers began to go to the river in batches to drink horses.
Liu Qi has always been by Zhou Huchen's side, and Zhou Huchen's side cannot lack Zhou Wanjiang, the leader of the Zhou Mansion.
"How much is it estimated to be slaughtered? These rogues are too weak! ”
Liu Qi has nothing to say, because killing thieves is somewhat meaningless. Zhou Huchen has clearly stipulated that he will not let the soldiers cut off the heads, and the military merits will not be calculated according to how many heads, the army is a whole, and will only be rewarded according to the whole. So, the head rank is not attractive to this army in any way.
"Twenty thousand, right? plus the lost thief soldiers, there should be no less than 30,000, and it is estimated that it will make Li Zicheng painful for a while! Zhou Huchen replied while thinking about things.
Liu Qi continued to ask: "Xiaohu, is our army guarding Gaobiling for a while, or is it directly fortified near Taiyuan?" ”
"There is no point in guarding this, the road is rugged and difficult, the supply is difficult, this high wall ridge looks very steep, in fact, it is difficult to defend, there are too many various paths, and it is not conducive to defense!"
Zhou Huchen's answer is not the truth, this high wall ridge is the most important north-south rush, the significance of defense is self-evident, as for too many paths, it is not conducive to defense, and supply difficulties are all excuses. Where there is a task that these soldiers cannot accomplish, it is only a matter of whether they can defend or not.
Liu Qi is a standard leading general, and he will carry out orders thoroughly, not to mention, he really doesn't have any research on the geography of this area. In his consciousness, what Zhou Huchen said should be right, so he had no ability to refute, so he could only nod frequently.
Of course, the war horses of several important generals of Zhou Huchen did not have to be managed by themselves, and soon after, all the war horses finished drinking.
They didn't even bother to clean up the battlefield, and these soldiers really didn't look down on the things left by the thieves. But there were some things that could not be left, and the soldiers set fire to the flammable materials such as food and tents, and the five thousand cavalry began to withdraw directly to the high wall ridge.
――――――――――
Huozhou.
Hao Shaoqi asked his subordinates to tie himself up, and then knelt in front of General Liu Zongmin.
"The last will meet the governor."
Liu Zongmin looked at Hao Shaoqi fiercely, the beard on his cheeks stood up, this anger did not need to be concealed.
After a long time, Liu Zongmin, who felt that the muscles on his face were a little sore, finally spoke: "Defeated!" ”
"Return to the governor, the last general will be defeated!"
"Who's the Loser?"
"Back to the governor, it's Zhou Yuji!"
Liu Zongmin was stunned, it turned out to be Zhou Yuji. **Yes, this Zhou Yuji is really difficult to deal with, Liu Zongmin also suffered from it in Henan, and he has a deep memory!
After calming down a little, Liu Zongmin continued to ask: "How many people are there in Yuji this week?" ”
Hao Shaoqi had been thinking about it for a long, long time on the way back from escaping, and he decided to have a profound discussion with Liu Zongmin about a truth - cavalry is really stronger than infantry.
Therefore, Hao Shaoqi replied without hesitation: "Back to the capital, Zhou Yuji has more than 10,000 cavalry, which is very strong!" The last general is no match for more than 10,000 cavalry! ”
Of course, Hao Shaoqi will not say that he was attacked by a sneak attack, and in any case, he will not say that he was successfully attacked by the enemy. And whether he was defeated head-on by more than 10,000 cavalry, or Zhou Yuji's cavalry, this seems to be reasonable.
Liu Zongmin stood up suddenly: "How can Zhou Yuji have more than 10,000 cavalry?" You bastard, didn't you be stupid by Zhou Yuji! ”
"It's true, Governor! If you don't believe it, you can ask the soldiers who came back, Zhou Yuji does have more than 10,000 cavalry, and they are in Gaobiling in Lingshi County. If you don't believe it, you can send a horse to see it, and if you say anything false, you will kill the last general. Hao Shaoqi hurriedly continued his truth.
With his eyes wide, Liu Zongmin was furious: "If it's true, you are using these foot soldiers to attack more than 10,000 cavalry?" Obviously, there are no more than 10,000 cavalry in battle, won't you form a formation to protect yourself?
You bastard! Brave has a fart! ”
"Dudu, the last general is in formation, but Zhou Yuji's cavalry only used one impact, and the last general was defeated"
The impact of this defeat on morale was too great, and Liu Zongmin was eager to kill Hao Shaoqi immediately. can think about the king Li Zicheng behind him, this Hao Shaoqi is also one of the few remaining generals of the old king Gao Yingxiang, if you want to save some face for Mrs. Gao, you can't kill it directly.
"Someone! Escort Hao Shaoqi to King Xinshun for me, and let King Xinshun deal with this defeated general. ”
