Chapter 413: Rasag's Great Victory

"The people with Agno are only on the same level, and after an hour at most, the war will be decided."

is also watching the battle, He Shixiang, the general of the unified army on the side of the Songjiang Army, is much more calm than Su Kaier. Standing on a high place, he calmly analyzed the situation and expressed his judgment to the guards around him. In his eyes, at this moment, his own soldiers on the battlefield have already gained a great upper hand, and it is only a matter of time before he establishes a victory.

Unless Sukael has something else to do, they will definitely lose.

Taking a step back, even if the soldiers of this Cebu Legion can stimulate their full potential and stubbornly block the Songjiang Army's tidal offensive, He Shixiang still has a killer move in his hands.

That's three hundred cavalrymen who set off with the army!

If you want to rely on a mere 300 horsemen to attack the military formation of 15,000 people, it is naturally an impossible behavior, and it is no different from looking for death. However, if the battle between the two armies reaches a fever pitch, and 300 cavalry suddenly come out from behind the enemy, it can have the effect of deciding the outcome of the battle.

He is confident in his men's judgment and timing!

From the arrangement of the nature of this strange soldier, you can see the difference between whether there is preparation in advance. It was precisely because the native spies recruited by the Songjiang Army sent back the information of the Cebu Legion as soon as possible, that He Shixiang was able to arrange the preparation of this cavalry three days in advance, and did not let the soldiers of the Cebu Legion find the slightest trace.

Now, it's time to prove the worth of this miracle weapon.

………

The south side of the battlefield.

As early as the moment when the two sides began to arrange their troops, the three hundred cavalry of the Songjiang Army had already quietly rushed from their hiding places to the perimeter of the battlefield. At this moment, the three hundred cavalry were three miles behind the Cebu Legion's formation. With the help of the slightly raised terrain and a cluster of groves, the Cebuano soldiers did not notice their existence at all.

The commander of this cavalry was a captain named Wang Zheng.

Although there are three people in this cavalry unit with the same position, Wang Zheng is different. He was older than most of the cavalry present, he had followed Chen Wu since he was in Wu'an, had been personally taught riding by Yan Dongxing, and then had also participated in the cavalry crash course at the Dengzhou Military Academy. If it weren't for the fact that he was transferred here because of the Northern Luzon War, he would have become the commander of the cavalry wing by staying on the Dengzhou side at the opportunity of a large expansion of the army.

Considering the gold of the cavalry, his status in the army is actually no less than that of the brigade commander of the second line!

It is precisely because of this that Wang Zheng is qualified to overwhelm the other two captains and temporarily command these three hundred cavalry. Even, out of trust, even when to attack from behind the Cebu army, Wang Zheng has the power to be arbitrary, although this is related to the fact that the Songjiang army has enough confidence in this battle, but it is still very rare.

Wang Zheng himself attached great importance to this opportunity, and while the other riders rested on the spot, he intently observed the battle between the two armies and judged the opportunity to make a move.

Around noon, that is, when Sukael began to lose his breath, the two captains around him had already seen the opportunity and were a little ready to move. Of course, Wang Zheng also knew that at this time, the assault was definitely very sure that he would defeat the Cebu army in one fell swoop, but he could see that Su Kaier still had a reserve in his hand that had not been invested. Therefore, now is not the best time.

"Don't be impatient!"

He pressed down with his hand, rejecting the request to strike immediately, and instead continued to watch the battle with a composure.

After all, it is the first time for him to be alone, and Wang Zheng has high requirements for himself. Not only to win, but also to win, to launch the most fierce attack at the best time, to kill the enemy in one blow! This can highlight the value of cavalry!

Time flows unusually slowly in the torment of the soldiers.

As the fighting continued, the bodies of the soldiers on both sides began to decline at an accelerated pace. A weapon that can be easily wielded in normal training is now extremely heavy. The armor on his body unconsciously turned into a boulder that seemed to weigh a hundred catties. However, the soldiers of the Songjiang Army were trained hard enough and their physique was very strong, and even now they can still rely on perseverance and fighting spirit to maintain their movements.

The soldiers of the Cebu Legion could not do it anyway.

That is, in the face of the threat of death, they can swing their swords to parry. wants to fight back, not to mention whether the aggressive offensive of the Songjiang army will give them a chance, even if there is an opportunity, I am afraid that the soldiers of the Cebu army will not have that extra strength. In just a quarter of an hour, the Cebu Legion's position was forced back by nearly fifty steps!

Among them, especially the Chinese army is the most obvious.

The matchup, which was originally roughly straight, has become a recessed moon in the middle.

If this momentum continues, the Cebu Army's overall formation is likely to be broken through the middle. Realizing this, Sukair finally couldn't take it anymore and sent all the remaining soldiers for the final rotation. After seeing with his own eyes the all-round transcendent combat effectiveness of the Songjiang Army, he now has no hope of victory. The only idea is to support it as much as possible to the end, so that this battle does not lose too badly!

However, this idea is destined to be extravagant.

Seeing that the Songjiang Army had already gained the absolute upper hand, He Shixiang had begun to press the whole army, and the reserve forces of the Cebu Army were all invested, and Wang Zheng, who had been waiting for a long time in the rear, finally ushered in the best opportunity to make a move.

He jumped to his feet, got on his horse, and shouted to his men: "Ready! ”

Three hundred cavalrymen, who had been waiting for these two words for too long, did not hesitate to hear the words, and completed the rearmament with extremely astonishing efficiency in just two or three minutes. Then, the riders, who were not too numerous, but had a very high fighting spirit, left their hiding place, began to speed up at a trot, and took the opportunity to complete the group.

Standard charge formation!

The soldiers of the Cebu Legion were tired and tired from fighting for so long. After getting used to the earth-shattering noise and shouting, their sensitivity and attention to sound were far less concentrated than before. The three hundred cavalry marched for more than a mile without being discovered by the officers of the Cebu Legion.

It wasn't until the wounded soldiers in the back row inadvertently noticed that the ground was shaking abnormally, that they subconsciously turned their heads to look around, and then found the cavalry that was accelerating.

After a second of astonishment, the soldier who had been stabbed in the left leg let out a heart-rending scream.

"Enemy attack! Cavalry! ”

The shrill warning sound caught the attention of the nearby soldiers, and then, quickly, caused panic among the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Cebu Legion. Anyone with a little brain knows what it means to have a cavalry that suddenly interjected at this time when the Cebu Legion was fighting with the Songjiang people.

Even if it wins, it is possible to be reversed by this fatal sword, not to mention that the current Cebu Legion is at an absolute disadvantage.

"Legionnaire, enemy cavalry sneak attack!"

The chaos spread rapidly, and one after another exclamations attracted the attention of those around Sukaire. After glancing back, Su Kaier, who was already extremely worried, fell into a sluggish state for a moment. He only felt cold in his hands and feet, and if it weren't for the soldiers around him to support him, he would almost fall off his horse.

"How is that possible!"

Breathing a sigh of relief, Su Kaier muttered these four words as if he was mourning. He really didn't know how the enemy had managed to hide the 300 cavalry behind him.

However, there is no point in pursuing this issue at this time.

Trying to calm down, he forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart and loudly reassured his subordinates. At the same time, he did his best to draw a force that had just retreated from the front, trying to use them to block the surprise attack of the Matsue cavalry.

This cavalry behind is indeed very threatening, but they only have a few hundred horsemen after all!

Sukael comforted himself with such thoughts, but he didn't know that not every soldier of the Cebu Legion could calmly judge the situation at this time. All they knew was that the situation was unprecedentedly desperate, with defeat and retreat from the front, followed by a sneak attack by enemy cavalry. In the absence of more reinforcements on your side, perhaps the next moment will be a rout on the whole front!

Seeing that the Songjiang cavalry rushed into three hundred steps with unstoppable force, the soldiers of the Cebu Legion panicked and chose to abandon their weapons and flee.

Not everyone is willing to fight this battle to the end.

"The Songjiang Army is victorious!"

At this time, the cavalry led by Wang Zheng had already rushed into a hundred paces, and they could clearly see the panic and helplessness of the soldiers in the last row of the Cebu Legion. Seeing that the concealment of the sneak attack had been lost, or that it had reached a distance that did not need to be concealed and could not be concealed, the cavalry shouted the slogan of victory in unimaginable unison, and began the final acceleration.

The war horse is galloping, the sword is like lightning, and the killing machine is like a forest!

In just a dozen seconds, the cavalry rushed through the last distance, and at the peak of their speed, they were like a raging truck, crashing into the weak and pitiful rear line of the Cebu Legion. Almost instantly, this hastily formed line of defense was overwhelmed by the cavalry. The cavalry that followed ignored the fleeing soldiers on either side of the wolf bèi and continued to penetrate the gap, forming a sharp knife that stirred wildly in the Cebu Legion's formation.

"It's over!"

Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Sukael gave up one last bit of fantasy. Finally, he still had so many hardcore henchmen on weekdays, and seeing that the shape was completely irretrievable, he half-pushed and half-pulled, and dragged the corps commander out of the chaotic military formation, bypassing the cavalry of the Songjiang Army, and fleeing in the direction of his hometown in the southwest.

His escape means that the situation has completely collapsed.

The main generals are not fighting, what else do the soldiers below have to fight for? I don't know who shouted first, and a large number of Cebu legionnaires laid down their arms. Either surrender on the spot, or follow the commander out of the battlefield.

The position that could barely be maintained finally lost the last bit of strength.

"Sukael has escaped!"

"Surrender or kill!"

The cavalry of the Songjiang Army rushed into the center of the Cebu Legion, and naturally they could not see Sukaier's movements, but He Shixiang, who commanded on his side, clearly saw all the changes in the Cebu Legion. Under his orders, the officers and men of the Matsue Army shouted in unison, further striking at the determination of the remaining recalcitrant rebels.

Half an hour after the Matsue cavalry entered, the battle that took place in Laoag came to an end!

More than 7,500 soldiers of the Cebu Regiment were disarmed by the Songjiang Army and imprisoned in the barracks. There were at least three to four thousand soldiers who fled around the battlefield in a panic or fled after Sukair. After a brief cleanup of the battlefield, the cavalry began to chase down the route non-stop, making sure to capture Sukair alive.

At the same time, the good news of Laoag's victory was also sent back to the royal capital of Manila with a brief official letter.

After the First World War, the Songjiang Army nearly wiped out the Cebu Army at the cost of more than 1,000 casualties. In particular, the final cavalry back attack greatly accelerated the defeat of the Cebu army and helped the Songjiang army reduce a lot of losses. Although Sukael was not captured in the end, it was actually insignificant in the overall situation, and there were no formed troops in the entire western part of Luzon.

Next, the Songjiang army only needed to divide its forces and drive straight into the south to collect the Cebu region on the basis of maintaining the rule of Laoag.

He Shixiang is confident that within a month and a half, the entire western part of Luzon Island will be connected with the central Quezon Plain. In this way, for the first time, the Matsue Army would occupy more than half of Luzon. In the end, as long as he marched eastward and destroyed the unruly leaders in Sulu and the remnants of Suleiman V who had fled to Davao, he would be able to take the whole of Northern Luzon by Shun.

The four counties of Songjiang will become five counties, and it is just around the corner!

………

The news of Laoag's victory was transmitted back to the royal capital in only two days. After cutting off some unrealistic thoughts of the remnants of the Duchy of Luzon, it also further consolidated the majesty of the Songjiang army. In this land, almost no one dared to openly provoke the power of the Songjiang Army.

The news did not stop spreading, but was quickly spread all the way to the easternmost point of Luzon by spies sent by Suleiman V.

The soldiers of Davao Province and the ministers of the Principality's Eastern Hunt were silent, and no one knew what expressions they should use to face this bad news. Everyone knows that with the crushing defeat of the Cebu Army, there is no longer any strength in western Luzon that can oppose the Songjiang people. It won't be long before this last piece of land of the principality will be attacked by the enemy.

The moment the news reached the new royal capital of Davao Province, the aging Suleiman V was in complete despair.

After being alone for a long time, he fell into a state of broken jars, and began to ignore any news from the west, and did not pay attention to the progress of Davao Province's government affairs and army reconstruction, and fell into a state of drunken dreams.

At his age, such an unrestrained indulgence in alcohol, even if the Songjiang army doesn't fight, I'm afraid there will be a few years to live.

All the people who were still docked on the wrecked ship of the Principality of Luzon finally realized that the wreck was inevitable.

However, Luzon is isolated in the ocean, and even if anyone wants to escape from the wreck, there is not much to flee to. Except for a very small number of people who can get a sea ship and bypass the blockade of the Ninghai Division, most people don't have that way, so they can only consider contacting Wangdu Manila privately and surrendering to the Songjiang Army!

It seems that Luzon's belonging is already sealed. But what everyone didn't expect was that in this situation, the situation in Luzon changed dramatically.
