Chapter 271: The Vanguard is Trapped

It's just that Yan Liang walked halfway, and there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind him, and it was cavalry, which came from the west. Yan Liang glanced back at the bitter smile in his heart, at this moment he finally understood that in this plain area close to the Yellow River, such a grove may be the best ambush location, although it is too far worse than the valley and the jungle, but at least the grove can delay the speed of his infantry to escape, which is equivalent to a simple fence, which is easier to gather and annihilate than running around the mountains.

Yan Liang didn't look back, it seems that the enemy has dispatched a large number of cavalry today, and it is very difficult to run, so let's fight to the death.

Yan Liang is a famous general in Hebei, and his subordinates are also the elite of Jizhou, although the enemy cavalry continues to emerge at both ends, most of the soldiers still start to form in place according to the general's orders. Yan Liang quickly rushed to the end of the infantry phalanx, and more than a dozen personal soldiers followed.

Yan Liang's idea was to rely on his own bravery to replace his own command as much as possible before the enemy's two cavalry forces were encircled, and to rush out a few times to deliver messages, and at the same time to build a camp for his own infantry precious time.

Although he gave the order to form a formation on the spot, it ??????????????? Someone had to go and inform the Chun Yuqiong troops in the rear, so that they could come for reinforcements as soon as possible. In Yan Liang's opinion, the distance between him and Chun Yuqiong's team is only a day's journey, and today he is even more stop-and-go, the distance between him and Chun Yuqiong should not exceed twenty miles, and the fast horse will arrive in a moment, as long as Chun Yuqiong can arrive in time, he should be able to leave at least half of the five thousand people.

It's just that when Yan Liang finally ran to the back of his infantry phalanx, he gasped when he raised his eyes, and what caught his eye was a group of cavalry wearing black armor, and even the war horses were covered with armor.

This...... Rao is Yan Liang had participated in the suppression of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebellion, and had also dealt with the Wuhuan people, but these cavalry in front of him was definitely the first time he had seen them.

Look at the weapons in the hands of the enemy, all the horizontal knives on the left, and the spears on the right! These more than 4,000 people are even more fierce heavy cavalry than the Xiliang cavalry. Yan Liang now finally understands that Wei Xuan's defeat of Dong Zhuo in Henan is definitely not just luck. There is such a heavy cavalry charging formation, what kind of formation can't be broken. 娿; Yan Liang knew that in front of such heavy cavalry, it would be futile for those infantry who didn't even have leather armor for everyone to form a formation. The only thing that could stop them in their progress was the mountains of corpses.

The main general Yan Liang was like this, and the personal soldiers beside him and the infantry who were forming a formation behind him were even more panicked, the weapons in their hands were trembling, and their legs were also trembling. The coercion of more than 4,000 cavalry is unbearable for ordinary people.

Seeing this situation, Yan Liang knew that he had to rely on his bravery to boost his morale, otherwise this battle would not be able to be fought. So he tightened the big knife in his hand, slapped the horse's buttocks, and rushed out.

Whoosh ...... Yan Liang was greeted by not the enemy's main general, nor the vanguard, but the crossbow, he desperately waved the big knife in his hand to block, but he successfully defended in the first round, no arrow, but he was shot in the neck of the war horse under his crotch, and the pain was so painful that the war horse stood alone on the spot, and almost fell Yan Liang off the horse, and the personal soldiers who rushed out with Yan Liang were not so far away, and more than a dozen people were knocked down at once under the intensive crossbow shooting.

Yan Liang was angry, and swung it towards an enemy horse with a horizontal knife, the man swung the horizontal knife to block Yan Liang's knife, with a frightened expression on his face, Yan Liang said, this is normal, so he waved the big knife in his hand continuously, and slashed a few times in a row when the cavalry was in a hurry, but maybe the enemy's armor was too good, or it was a matter of luck, only once he successfully penetrated the enemy's armor and cut it on the shoulder, so painful that the cavalry frowned, Yan Liang was about to urge the horse to come forward and end up with this person, A spear swung away his broadsword, and then stabbed at him with a single shot.

Yan Liang was shocked, from the speed of the enemy's attack, he knew that he had encountered a master, and hurriedly abandoned the previous enemy to concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front of him.

Dangdangdang...... Puff puff...... The sound of metal collision kept coming, and Yan Liang was able to make an equal deal with the people who came, but the personal soldiers behind him had been killed, Yan Liang casually skimmed, and the enemy's cavalry had easily entered his own infantry phalanx. Harvest the lives of your own soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables.

Yan Liang knew that his idea of using the enemy to send some of his own soldiers out to deliver a message to Chun Yuqiong before the siege was closed, and he did not buy time for the infantry in the rear to form a formation. So he swept away the enemy with his broadsword??????????????? The spear of the man and the horse quickly took two steps back, then turned the horse's head and prepared to retreat into the infantry first.

The enemy didn't seem to chase after him, but fought with the nearest infantry, but Yan Liang's heart was cold. Before, he just thought that Wei Xuan's heavy cavalry was just terrifying, but obviously he still underestimated the breakthrough speed of these people. He walked with these cavalrymen, but he didn't dare to make a move, and wanted to blend in with them and enter the infantry phalanx, but he didn't expect that the speed of these people's advance was about the same as his. The phalanx of infantry that had been improvised by himself was cut down like wheat. In the end, it was a military marquis who was commanding his subordinates, and when he saw the embarrassed Yan Liang, he asked people to step forward and desperately block the enemy's cavalry, so that Yan Liang could safely retreat into the infantry phalanx.

It's just that Yan Liang sat on horseback and looked back behind him, his phalanx was being swallowed up by the enemy's heavy cavalry like a cake, this is not a battle, this is a massacre. Yan Liang looked in the direction of Xiuwu unwillingly, where is the exit of the grove, hoping that there will be fewer enemies over there, and he can find a breakthrough and take the hospital out more.

Then he saw a burly enemy general swing his spear into his infantry phalanx, followed by hundreds of equally heavily armed heavy cavalry. Judging by the speed and direction of their spurge, it seems that they are going to pass through the front. Yan Liang knew that if he let the enemy succeed, his infantry phalanx would be completely thrown into chaos. He glanced at the wounded horse, then looked around and came to a military marquis, exchanged horses with him, and rushed towards the enemy general, no matter what, he must find a way to stop the enemy's penetration, at least salt the pond to speed the enemy's advance.

Yan Liang only ran fifty or sixty steps in the phalanx before he heard a thunderous shout: "Yan people Zhang Yide is here, the enemy will be killed!" ”

Yan Liang was shocked, it turned out that he was riding a horse and interspersed in the infantry phalanx, and was already discovered by the enemy, and sure enough, he saw that the man was very fierce and waved his spear to knock over the infantry blocking in front, basically a spear rushed forward, and soon came to Yan Liang.

Yan Liang instinctively raised the big knife in his hand, and it was the sound of the collision of the spear and the big knife. Yan Liang frowned, obviously the enemy general in front of him was more fierce than the one he had encountered before, no wonder he was responsible for leading the troops to break through. Yan Liang cheered up and caught the enemy's spear again. Then the enemy turned to stabbing and slashed at him, and smashed down the whole person.

Yan Liang hurriedly raised his long knife to block and blocked it, but the enemy did not withdraw his weapon, but used both hands to exert force, and shouted in his mouth, yah, yay, yay......

Yan Liang broke out in a cold sweat, the enemy general's voice was loud, and the strength of his hands was greater, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he couldn't hold on for more than four or five breaths, Yan Liang tore off the big knife in his hand while leaning back to dodge the spear that was directly pressed down.

Yan Liang was about to urge the hind legs of the war horse to withdraw from the battlefield, but the enemy's spear stabbed again, and there was no way to retreat or hide. Yan Liang did not hesitate to roll off the horse, leaned on the war horse to win the move of geothermal energy, and then got up and ran back in embarrassment.

Although Yan Liang's personal soldiers were killed, the infantry next to him also knew that this was the main general, and when they saw Yan Liang fall off their horses, several people immediately stepped forward to block Zhang Fei desperately, and the other two ran away with Yan Liang on the left and right.

Yan Liang looked ahead and then at the rear, and said towards the grove to the north: "Artillery over there, hurry up, order the whole army to break out from the grove in the north." ”

Yan Liang's choice is correct, this is a plain, between the two woods is flat, the enemy dispatched heavy cavalry, it seems that four or five thousand horsebacks, if you don't use the terrain to cover, your own leather armor rate is not only thirty percent of the Jizhou elite is estimated to be reimbursed.

Because the cavalry that broke in from the west was only a thousand people who could not be divided into troops to stop it, Yan Liang quickly fled into the woods, and looked back, the original infantry of five thousand Yan Liang, which had been exposed to the woods before, had been completely eaten under the encirclement of the two cavalry, and now the enemy's heavy cavalry was gradually advancing, and the enemy general with a loud voice was about to merge with the enemy's heavy cavalry in the east, Yan Liang knew that once the convergence was completed, his infantry would be cut into countless pieces of the city for others to slaughter.

But now he couldn't care about it, because someone had already noticed it, and small cavalry began to rush in this direction. Yan Liang didn't look back anymore, and ran desperately towards the north, followed by hundreds of clever infantrymen behind him. The woods were sparsely wooded and could be a hindrance to the cavalry, but had little effect on the infantry. So soon they successfully passed through this grove, but what appeared in front of Yan Liang's eyes was not a lofty mountain or a flat river, but a thousand indifferent enemy cavalry! It's ready to wait and see.

Yan Liang seriously doubted whether Wei Xuan used all the captured war horses to build cavalry. However, after the initial shock, Yan Liang quickly discovered a fact, these cavalry did not have the heavy cavalry that he had encountered before, and the war horses did not have leather armor, well, they were light cavalry. Yan Liang looked left and right and whispered to the soldiers who followed: "Wait for them to rush over, looking for an opportunity to grab the horse." ”

The eyes of the elite Jizhou soldiers behind him lit up, knowing that the best way for their own commander to do so.

Yan Liang's plan succeeded, and in reality, more than a hundred light cavalry fired arrows towards the edge of the filial piety forest, and then some boldly rushed forward to capture Yan Liang and the others.

Yan Liang was happy in his heart, as long as the enemy was careless, he would have a chance, be patient, be patient, and wait for him to walk in a little more, he whispered to the soldiers around him while calculating the distance of these light cavalry.
