10,000 light cavalry, to say a lot, looking at the entire northwest battlefield is really not much. It's too little, but it's gone.

This time, without Wei Ban to speak, many captains who were promised by Xiao Yu were already high-spirited, and they all knew that Sanpin, Damn, how many people would not be able to touch this threshold in their lifetime, let alone cross the past, even if it was just a third-grade rank or honorable officer, it was enough to glorify their ancestors.

Wei Ban was wearing a standard Zhongdu standard iron armor, his face was expressionless, and he reached out to put down the covering on the helmet, and many captains behind him moved neatly like one person, and also put down the covering on the helmet.

Ironclad Sensen.

I remember that the reason why he joined the army, Wei Ban was still personally brought to Xu Lin by his uncle who had only seen a few faces, Xu Lin looked at him at that time and asked him to be a personal soldier, to be honest, as a personal soldier of Xu Lin such a celestial master, he was really an idle errand, except for being responsible for some chores, there was nothing else at all, let alone really working hard. So after a year as a personal soldier, Wei Ban asked Xu Lin to be a light horseman, and the day before, his uncle Wei Chi was killed outside the central capital. Maybe from that moment on, the old Wei family really left only him, the only seedling, and his talented uncle couldn't bare the lintel, so he had to do it. Wei Ban didn't want to die, and he didn't care about taking any revenge for his uncle, he just wanted to return to his hometown in a beautiful scenery and glory to his ancestors. Even if he dies on the battlefield, he must leave a legacy for the Wei family.

Wei Ban took a deep breath, his eyes cold.

If he doesn't want to die, then someone else can only die.

Beat the Jade Gate, and then go back alive!

After running for nearly 800 miles, Wei Ban, who went deep into the hinterland of Xiliangzhou, finally encountered the first cavalry force on an organized scale. It is an elite cavalry with a number of about 3,000 people, although the number is not much, but it is a heavy cavalry!

The northwest heavy cavalry is not much, most of them are concentrated in the hands of Xu Lin, except for those who were wiped out in the battle of Qinghe, the rest all fell into the hands of Xiao Yu, but before that, when Qin Quan divided the authority of Xiliang Prefecture, the 10,000 heavy cavalry stationed in Xiliang Prefecture also belonged to Qin Quan.

Three thousand heavy horses, but it is much more expensive than ten thousand light horses.

When they meet on a narrow road, the war is about to break out.

It is very unwise to charge head-on with light and heavy horses, because heavy horsemen who are less than half the number of light horsemen can easily overwhelm light horses that are multiplied by their own. Therefore, Wei Ban used a classic light cavalry versus heavy cavalry tactics, that is, the great roundabout tactics that the steppe Khan kings were once proud of. Although these 10,000 light cavalry are dressed in Zhongdu armor and belong to the Zhongdu army sequence, they are real grassland cavalry.

According to the strategy of light cavalry on the grassland put forward by Lin Yuan in those years, what is the advantage of light cavalry over heavy cavalry? Mobility! The so-called big detour tactic is to rely on the mobility of light cavalry, constantly interspersed back and forth, and harass heavy cavalry with bows and crossbows that are relatively clumsy in action, and it is difficult for heavy cavalry to quickly fight back at this time, and it is necessary to maintain the advance of formation, and if the formation is spread out like that of light cavalry, it will not be able to form an effective lethality at all. After a few volleys, most of the heavy cavalry will be exhausted, and even the military will be shaken and the formation will be confused, once the heavy cavalry turns and retreats, the light cavalry can play to its advantage and start to pursue the Ouroboros.

As soon as Wei Ban raised his hand, the cavalry behind him began to charge at the same time, the distance began to widen, and the 10,000 light cavalry also began to slowly divide into two according to the array that had already been set.

This kind of battle may be useful for cultivators, but before reaching the Heavenly Beings, unless it is to directly kill the enemy's main general, it will not be able to produce a decisive effect at all.

When the distance between the two armies was only 300 zhang, the light cavalry of Zhongdu had been divided into two groups, one in front and one in the rear. When the two armies were a hundred feet apart, the light cavalry that was originally in the rear suddenly rushed out of the huge gap in the front row at a very high speed, and the machine crossbow produced in their hands suddenly fired a volley.

At such a close distance, the power generated by such a dense crossbow arrow, even the heavy cavalry could not completely ignore it, and nearly a hundred heavy cavalry in the front row fell with a bang, and in the charge, the more than 100 heavy cavalry that fell became a stumbling block for the follow-up troops.

For a while, there was a panic in the array of heavy cavalry.

Wei Ban's two light cavalry "parted ways" at this time, breaking into the left and right flanks of the 3,000 heavy cavalry respectively, Wei Ban still did not choose to fight in close quarters, always cruising outside the hundred zhang, and constantly harassing this heavy cavalry with short crossbows.

The heavy cavalry regrouped several times, trying to start a frontal charge with Wei Ban, but was thrown away by Wei Ban with the mobility of the light horse, and when the heavy cavalry stopped pursuing, Wei Ban was entangled again like an appendage and continued to harass with crossbow arrows.

In this way, just as Lin Yuan said, after the heavy cavalry was beaten many times without Raul being beaten passively, the army's heart was shaken. Then the formation was scattered.

After fighting for an hour, the heavy cavalry had already left nearly a thousand corpses, and Wei Ban had no more than 300 dead and wounded, and the main general on the opposite side finally couldn't bear it anymore and gave the order to retreat.

Looking at the heavy cavalry of the enemy army in the rear team and the front team, a sneer appeared on Wei Ban's face, he pulled out the long knife at his waist, and said calmly: "Leave no one." ”

10,000 light horsemen regrouped and began to chase and kill like a hunt.

In this battle, Wei Ban annihilated 3,000 heavy cavalry with less than 1,000 casualties.

Wei Ban's first lead in the Northwest War showed Lin Yuan's roundabout tactics vividly, and after 10,000 light cavalry slaughtered 3,000 heavy cavalry, he continued to run forward.

Yumen Pass is already in sight.

......

Since ancient times, Wusheling Ridge has been famous for its steep mountains and dangerous terrain, and it is also the gateway and throat of the Xiliang Corridor, and has always been a battleground for soldiers. During the Great Chu Dynasty, the city wall and beacon were built in Wusheling Ridge, and Anmen Anyuan lived in Lingnan and Lingbei respectively, relying on the city wall and beacon to rely on each other. If you take Xiliang, you must first take the Xiliang Corridor, if you take the Xiliang Corridor, you must first take Wusheling Ridge, if you take Wusheling Ridge, you must first take Anmen Anyuan two forts.

At the moment, it is ten miles away from Anmen Fort.

A rickety old man stood with his hands folded, he looked up at the sky, and after a crackling sound sounded on his body, he straightened up suddenly.

He whispered to himself: "Nine steps and nine floors, today the old man will also try to climb the ninth floor to see what kind of scenery is on the nine floors." ”

With that, he began to take a step.

The first step is no different from ordinary people.

The second step leaves a faint footprint on the ground.

The third step is to deepen the footprints.

By the seventh step, the ground was shattered.

In the eighth step, the ground within a radius of 100 zhang collapsed by more than one foot.

In the ninth step, the old man turned into a streamer and ran towards Anyuan.

......

Zhongdu, one of the four capitals of Dazheng, if it is said that some time ago, Zhongdu was still like a lonely general who could not be excluded, and now Zhongdu, which has begun to enter a state of war, has regained its vitality, quite like this general pulled out the long knife at his waist and swept into a lonely body, just waiting for the prancing horse to whip.

After the two troops were dispatched, Xu Lin was responsible for the follow-up, while Xiao Yu turned back to Zhongdu and began to prepare for the final Dingding attack.

There are still 50,000 troops in Xu Lin's camp, and there are 100,000 troops in the central capital, a total of 150,000 troops, is it enough to break through Xiliangzhou?

Xiao Yu sat alone in the small courtyard of the Xiao Mansion, looking down at the towering capital from the wallless side.

Lin Ru stood behind Xiao Yu and looked at his back with a complicated expression. She has also seen some big worlds, she has always thought that Xiao Yu's so-called Northwest King is just one more palace, and 200,000 iron horses is an abstract to vague concept. But when Lin Rujing really came to the towering capital, she was really stunned when she looked at the mighty iron rider who couldn't see the head and tail.

This is an alternative shock that is different from the free immortals.

It wasn't until today that she really understood what kind of power Xiao Yu had in the world, and why the first disciple of the Taoist Sect did not hesitate to condescend to have a relationship with a nobody who was unknown in the cultivation world.

Xiao Yu seemed to know what she was thinking, got up and said, "When I first met Qiu Ye, he was not today's star-crowned feather robe, he was dressed in a green shirt and robe, very shabby. ”

For this figure who has almost become a legend among the younger generation, Lin Rujing naturally can't say much, so she can only be silent.

Xiao Yu didn't care, just laughed it off.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves was heard, and even in this deep mansion could be heard clearly.

Lin Rujing frowned and asked, "Are you transferring troops?" What are you going to do?"

Xiao Yu turned his head and smiled: "It's to send troops, I want to take the entire northwest within a month, and at the same time, I want Emperor Zheng to canonize me a veritable title, believe it or not?"

Lin Rujing subconsciously used her slender hand to cover her mouth that was wide open because of shock.
