Zheng Fan held the armor of the barbarian soldier in front of him with one hand, and looked back behind him from time to time, he hated it very much, because he clearly knew that the hundred horsemen brought by Huo Guang were explained there, and it was basically impossible to come out.

This may be the real cruelty of war, you come and go, I can cut you, but I can also cut back.

This is not a game, in the game, after a game, the troops can be regained by throwing them there for a few rounds of replenishment.

It's not that the strength can't be restored, but this kind of feeling of watching his soldiers fall into it and his own capital folded in, is really uncomfortable.

A little more emotional, they are living people, and he even spoke to them at dusk, saying that he would take them back and take them to earn military merits as much as possible and live as much as possible.

The high spirits that came all the way before were all blown away by the rain and wind at this time.

This may be a mental hurdle, a part that a junior brother must go through, Zheng Fan once thought that he was mentally prepared, but when things really happened in front of him, he felt that his previous psychological preparation was still too fragile.

At this moment, he suddenly understood a little bit of the county lord's behavior of using more than 2,000 people as bait in order to obtain the results of the war, since he was sure to die, then take the initiative to die, as long as he could catch the fighter.

Zheng Fan is like a boss from a small family, he used to do a small business, the capital is not big, and he doesn't make much money, but he is stable, and after he returns from the stall every day, he can still sit on the bed with a cigarette in his mouth and count the money while picking his feet.

He longed for the kind of big boss's lavish money, but when he finally had the opportunity to show off, he found that his mentality was not in the right position at all.

Can't afford to lose,

I can't afford to lose,

ZHENG Papi,

This is Zheng Fan's definition of himself in his heart.

However, you can control the rationality, but the emotion cannot be controlled by itself.

All the way to,

When Zheng Fan turned back again,

only to find that the group of wolf soldiers actually spread their feet and chased after them "woo woo woo".

Zheng Fan's eyes froze,

Then my heart trembled,

But he still immediately set his eyes on the front, which was the direction where Liang Cheng was, Zheng Fan did not give an order, and did not go to Yue Cheng to act on his behalf, because he believed that Liang Cheng would make the most correct choice.

Professional things should still be left to professionals.

At this time, Zheng Fan only had one thought left in his heart,

They hurt Lao Tzu and lost his capital,

That Lao Tzu,

I'm going to kill them!

………

Because Liang Cheng ordered a retreat in time, except for Huo Guang's hundred cavalry that folded in the city, the rest of the cavalry did not suffer much damage.

Compared with Zheng Fan's uncalmness, Liang Cheng is the most calm one, this is war, life and death, it is too normal for the old man to come to the newcomer.

This time the defeat was just bad luck.

At war, you can never expect Lady Luck to be on your side forever.

Infiltration, capturing the city, and opening the city gate are all going well, but who knew that there would be so many wolf soldiers hidden inside.

As for saying that you are careless and didn't investigate in advance, it's meaningless, because this is a raid, and the raid requires a certain amount of gambling, and you can't let people go in to fully understand the situation before entering the city.

For Liang Cheng himself, only Huo Guang was damaged, and the loss was not big, because he still had nearly 1,400 horsemen by his side.

Even, Huo Guang died inside, as the leader of the Huo family in Cuiliu Castle, he died, but it was more convenient for him to control the rest of the Huo family.

This kind of thinking is naturally a little dark, but it is also a fact, and there are countless examples of helping oneself eradicate dissidents through the enemy's knife throughout the ages.

Liang Cheng, as a general who has been leading troops to fight since ancient times, naturally will not be unclear about this, as soon as Huo Guang dies, the remaining six hundred Huo family people will soon be divided and absorbed after being leaderless, and soon, the clearest imprint on their bodies will no longer be the Huo family but the soldiers of Cuiliu Castle.

It is......

Out of the corner of Liang Cheng's eyes, he glanced at Zuo Jiqian, who was galloping together on his left side.

Zuo Jiqian didn't notice that an ancient zombie glanced at him at this time, otherwise, he would definitely be frightened.

"Woo woo woo !!!"

At this moment, Liang Cheng heard a long cry behind him.

He looked back behind him,

He was stunned,

What did he see?

He saw that the wolf soldiers actually chased out of the city gate, and actually chased them outside the city.

He saw a group of infantry chasing cavalry?

This situation, this change,

made Liang Cheng suddenly have a high degree of self-doubt in his heart,

This...... Is it a trap?

Because of the opponent's move, Liang Cheng was a little incomprehensible.

Just like an Olympiad student and the other party are competing, after the first round, he is frustrated, and after the second round begins, he suddenly finds that the other party has written the answer of one plus one as three.

But soon,

Liang Cheng was relieved again,

Because he understood.

The spy war between the Qianguo and the Yan State can be said to have begun long before the official confrontation between the two sides, and through the commercial relations of the Silk Road, each side has sown many nails in each other's homes.

As for the Qianguo transfer of the southwest wolf army to the north, the six princes have also passed it to Cuiliubao through their own intelligence network.

The wolf soldiers were the soldiers of the Tusi in the southwest of Qianguo, and they were very brave and caused the situation in the southwest of Qianguo to be eroded several decades ago.

But they also have a problem, and this problem has nothing to do with themselves, it has nothing to do with courage, it has nothing to do with equipment, but ...... War awareness and mindset.

Just as in later generations, the cavalry of the monk Grinqin charged against the gun positions of the British and French forces,

Just as the hussars of the big wave brandished their sabers and rushed towards the German armored tank vehicles,

Just as de Gaulle climbed out of a tank and watched the German Stuka bombers paralyze his French tanks one by one;

This is a gap in the thinking and cognition of war, and this gap, in many cases, will cause extremely terrifying consequences, and its impact will even exceed the gap in weapons and equipment itself.

The southwest of Qianguo is mountainous, and they are not without horses, but their horses are short enough to carry people, but more often they are used to carry goods.

When the Tusi in the southwest of the Qianguo region rebelled en masse, the reason why the cadres suffered setbacks and suffered heavy losses on several occasions and caused the situation to collapse step by step was that in the mountains and forests, the native soldiers relied on their familiarity with the mountains and used various methods such as harassment, division, and sneak attacks to defeat the cadres to an unbearable state.

In the mountains and forests, it is difficult for war horses to play a real role, and at the same time, the cavalry of the Qianguo country is not very good in the first place.

Because of this, Mrs. Daxi, including the wolf soldiers under her command, has not really experienced the education of cavalry baptism, so they will make the choice of chasing cavalry with infantry.

Cavalry, they are certainly not strangers, they also have cavalry, and it may seem to them that cavalry is like this.

However, the horses of the Yan people are different from those of the southwest region, and the understanding and application of cavalry tactics by the Yan people are also beyond the reach of the Qianguo people and the Tusi.

Because for hundreds of years, the Yan people have always had a good teacher, this good teacher has been teaching the use of Yan cavalry tactics, and in the past hundred years, the Yan people have finally been better than the blue, and beat their master down.

The master here is naturally a barbarian.

The desert barbarians are naturally the most knowledgeable cavalry in this world, but the strongest cavalry in the world is in the Yan country!

Liang Cheng's eyes flashed in the depths of his eyes,

He knows that

How distressed my own master should be now,

Then let yourself be the best comfort to the Lord.

Liang Cheng raised his hand,

These days, the soldiers and horses of Cuiliu Fort have been learning one thing, that is, "listening to orders".

Under Liang Cheng's instructions, they began to deliberately slow down their horses while they were fleeing.

Since you are so stupid and dare to chase it out,

Then let you run a little longer.

No matter how fast you run, in terms of endurance, can you compare to a four-legged war horse?

On the north gate of Mianzhou City, Meng Heng was clutching the wall battlements with both hands, and he was very anxious, because he saw that the Yanren cavalry was not fleeing, but retreating!

Retreat and rout mean two completely different things, and at the same time, they are likely to mean two different outcomes.

Meng Hui shouted for the guards around him to bang the gong, calling for the wolf soldiers to come back.

But it didn't work,

The wolf soldiers have gone mad,

And

They never listen to specific greetings on the battlefield.

There are also more than 1,000 wolf soldiers in the city who are busy treating their injured clansmen, and at the same time happily cutting the heads of the Yan people, pulling the armor of the Yan people, and picking up the weapons of the Yan people.

They heard the shouts and gongs of the cadres on the city tower, but they only smiled and did not care, looking at the eyes of these cadres with obvious disdain.

It's useless for you to dry people, you were frightened by the Yan people, but in front of our descendants of the mountains, the Yan people are really nothing more than that!

Meng Hui's shouting failed to make Mrs. Daxi, who chased her out of the city, turn back, Meng Hui knew that back then, there was actually a person who could make the toasts under his command obey orders in a proper manner.

That is, when the thorn-faced prince was there, the combat effectiveness of the western army of the Qianguo country had been greatly improved for a period of time, and the toasts it subdued did not dare to exceed the slightest degree in front of its order flag.

At that time, there was even a voice in the court, that is, if you fully support the thorn-faced prince, you can't say that Daqian can snow the shame given by the first Zhenbei Marquis back then!

But soon, there was no then.

Under the Huairou policy of Qianguo over the years, the toasts can be regarded as Anshun, but Meng Heng knows that without the suppression of the thorny face, this kind of Anshun is really just a layer of skin that stays on the surface.

Do they really think that the Yan people are the same as the cadres who lack cavalry?

Do they really think that they are the same as the peasant army they faced when they helped to quell the rebellion several times?

If the Yan people are really like that,

Wouldn't that Daqian have already gone on a Northern Expedition?

Didn't the barbarians go south a long time ago?

Meng Hui was a little helpless and dazed,

He could only hope that the generals of the Yan army were also frightened.

It's obviously a "victory" start,

But he didn't feel joy at all,

The panic and insecurity in my heart turned into a roar,

Meng Hui slammed his fist on the wall,

Scolded:

"Straight sissy thief!"

………

Meng Heng's angry wolf soldiers naturally didn't feel it, but they did feel it...... A little tired.

The native soldiers are also people, although their endurance is better and they are better at running, but they have chased out a long way in one go, and as far as Mianzhou City behind them, they are a little blurred.

They are human beings after all, but they feast on their feet and go after the prey on horseback.

It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that the distance between the two sides was being narrowed little by little, if it weren't for the fact that the other party had been running away without the slightest counterattack, the wolf soldiers would not have pursued so far.

Madame Daxi may not have understood the true horror of cavalry, but as a widow who ruled a cottage, she naturally could not be so unbearable, and she sensed that her men were a little tired.

At this moment, as a military strategist's intuition, she instinctively wanted to order to turn back, since she really couldn't catch up, then don't chase it.

Or, grit your teeth and keep chasing for a while? Just for a moment?

What Mrs. Daxi didn't know was that in the strange process of the infantry chasing the cavalry, under the order of Liang Cheng, the cavalry on the front side had already turned around and started a detour to the sides in batches.

Zheng Fan also noticed the change in the troops, and at this time, the brute soldier who was originally carrying him had already jumped on the back of another empty horse, allowing Zheng Fan to ride the horse alone.

It's time to do it, Zheng Fan knows it.

It's time to stop, Lady Daxi thought to herself.

Because she suddenly keenly noticed that the number of prey she was pursuing seemed to be much less.

"Woo woo woo ............"

A long cry came,

The wolf soldiers began to slow down, some of them were panting, some were scolding, and those swallows were running so fast that they lost a lot of money.

However, at this moment, Liang Cheng in front of him also completely slowed down, and the cavalry leading him directly turned the horse's head, and his gaze looked at the wolf soldiers not far in front of him very calmly.

and

The only woman in the group on horseback.

Liang Cheng had to admit that this was a very brave army, and their blood and courage were much more than the Qianguo army he had encountered.

In many cases, war does require blood courage and courage, but sometimes some gaps cannot be bridged by courage alone.

No armor, no fine weapons, no tight formations,

You're just going to face the 1,400 riders under my command?

The knife in Liang Cheng's hand pointed forward, and at the same time began to instigate the war horse under his crotch.

The enemy, who is far enough out of the city,

below

It's time for them to taste the cavalry, the real horror!

A haze suddenly hit Mrs. Daxi's heart, she didn't know what was going on, but this ominous premonition was getting heavier and heavier.

"Knock knock! Knock knock! ”

Suddenly, two cavalry appeared on either side of the wolf-earth soldiers, they were riding horses, they were galloping, and they took their crossbows and bows at the same time.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou!!! ”

Arrows were fired, and a native soldier fell to the ground with an arrow.

The soldiers were a little confused, because they didn't expect that the prey that they had chased and fled in a panic would dare to turn around and grin at themselves again.

They were furious, so they started to fight back.

Every wolf soldier in the mountains is an excellent hunter, which means that their arrows are shot accurately.

However, at this time, the cavalry of Castle Cuiliu was not a live target that was difficult to move around the city as before, they were galloping, and at the same time, they also paid attention to the distance.

After a wave of arrows has passed, they will choose to re-distance themselves to avoid the return fire of the wolf natives, and then the next wave will continue to force them from the other side in this way, shooting another wave of arrows.

While suffering from the blow of arrows, they also have to aim at high-speed moving targets, and the bows and arrows of the wolf soldiers are not as sharp as when hunting in the mountains and forests, and sometimes even if they are shot, the lethality of the arrows decreases due to the distance, and they are directly bounced off the armor of the Cuiliubao cavalry.

Zheng Fan is also in the team, he also holds a bow and arrow in his hand, because of Ah Ming's sparring, Zheng Fan's archery skills have improved a lot during this time, although he is not as good as a barbarian, but he can infuse his own qi and blood into the arrows, so his arrows can shoot farther, and the power can be greater.

A wolf soldier was shot by Zheng Fan's arrow, and the force of the arrow carried his body to the side, but Zheng Fan did not cheer happily: "I shot I shot!" ”

Because it seems that most of the characters who cheered on the screen and shot themselves were paving the way for the next headshots and violent deaths.

At this time, Zheng Shoubei, just like the gambler who had just lost, was determined to get back on the field.

Lady Daxi soon realized that the situation was extremely bad, and she quickly ordered the team to start retreating, but how could the speed of a human foot compare to that of a four-legged warhorse?

meantime

These wolf soldiers are also tired.

Liang Cheng did not order the charge, but continued to command the cavalry under his command to attack and provoke in this way, soft knives, and slowly cut the flesh.

may be influenced by film and television works, in most cognitions, cavalry is the iron hooves rolling and then rushing through the enemy's defense line, and then the cavalry is equivalent to sitting on a high bench and starting to cut each other with the surrounding enemies.

In fact, unless it is forced or extreme, most generals will not choose to use cavalry in this way.

The reason is simple,

Too expensive!

The Yan people have always played cavalry, so more than half of the taxes of the Yan State every year have to be sent to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to be responsible for raising soldiers.

Therefore, why did the Jingnan Army divide the front camp and the rear camp, and why did the emperors of the Great Yan Dynasty not carry out the Northern Expedition, the reason is here, raising troops is already expensive enough, and once the war breaks out, the treasury of the Yan State cannot support the war at all.

It's not that the ancestors of the Yan people didn't know that the infantry was cheaper, but there was no way, it was all forced, because you have a barbarian neighbor by your side, you can't let yourself use two legs to go to the desert to fight the barbarian cavalry, right?

Cavalry, in the era of cold weapons, was an absolute money-burning thing, and if you didn't want to make a show, then it would burn even more.

Think about it, when the Marquis of Zhenbei was a child, he had to fight with Ji Runhao, who was a prince, to grab chicken legs and eat, it can be seen that in order to maintain the 300,000 iron cavalry of the Zhenbei Army, the Hou Mansion has shrunk into what it has become.

It's not that there is no corruption in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but his excess loss is definitely at a very low point, which is an extremely low point unimaginable in any feudal town in history, but if you dare to be corrupt, you have to try to see what kind of fate it will be if the Li family, who is frugal and frugal, knows about it!

Qianguo has also run horse politics, but firstly, the investment is too large, and secondly, because of the national conditions of Qianguo,

After all, it failed to support the supply of war horses in Qianguo, and at best, it was just to maintain the face of the goods.

The wolf soldiers are now facing an extremely embarrassing situation, and they want to retreat, but it is difficult to let go of the retreat, because the cavalry around them are like dog skin plasters, and they will retreat after biting you down.

I want to move forward, but I can't catch up with each other at all.

Mrs. Daxi's face sank like water, she knew that the general of the Yan army was teaching her, but she couldn't afford to pay the money for this class.

Cutting meat with a soft knife is also a terrible thing, because there is a limit to people's spiritual resistance.

Especially under the harassment of being wrapped in the cavalry, this desperate mood will be gradually amplified and amplified......

Even an extremely good army with military discipline and binding force is difficult not to collapse in such a situation where there is no internal and external support and no hope, let alone this kind of wolf soldiers who only rely on pure blood and courage to fight a war.

Their courage comes violently, but when they collapse, it will be even more thorough!

In the mountains, they can play to their advantage according to the instincts of hunters and the familiar terrain, but in fact, they are not much different from the peasant army, but they are only surpassed in morale and bravery.

finally

They began to crumble,

Someone began to run backwards desperately,

They instinctively want to go back to the city,

Because they remember that in the city before, these swallow people were not so terrible!

They are going back to the city, back to the city, one running, two running, and then a herd.

Mrs. Daxi's long cry was no longer able to gather her own people at this time,

The wolf earth soldiers, who did not have a too obvious formation in the first place, completely lost their formation at this time, and they dispersed!

It was at this moment that

Liang Cheng raised his long knife and gave a new order.

All the horsemen withdrew their arrows and crossbows at this moment, they drew their sabers, and they began to leave no room for the full release of the horsepower of their horses under their hips.

The prey, which has collapsed under their tutelage, is now time to harvest.

Liang Cheng's knife slashed, drew an afterimage, and roared:

"Charge!"
