Chapter 260: Merge Prefecture, Liangzhou

However, although Qin Mu died a heroic death, it also marked the complete collapse of the Bashu Yong army. They fought from night to dawn, sleepy, tired and hungry, and the stab of the wolf rider from behind them became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Seeing that the situation at the south gate had been decided, Li Sujie immediately separated the Yicong of a regiment assigned to the south gate, let them ride on war horses, and rushed to the east gate with the wolf horses outside the city.

At this moment, the sky was already bright, and the battle situation outside the east gate was obviously different from the south gate.

The Liangzhou Yongjun is known for its cavalry, and the weak strength of the infantry is a shortcoming, so Qin Yu has always attacked the city without a ride, and the huge number of Liangzhou cavalry is sitting on the ground with a war horse, and the saddle and weapons are placed within an arm's length of him.

When more than 2,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry appeared in front of the Liangzhou Yongjun, they were facing the Liangzhou cavalry that was already ready to go.

As cavalrymen who live on horseback, it is a skill they must learn to judge the enemy's situation by lying on the ground, and even more powerful people can know how many enemies are attacking in the distance as long as they lie on the ground and listen for a while.

Qin Yu led tens of thousands of Liangzhou Yongjun under his command, looking at the thin front line of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and a sneer pulled out at the corner of his mouth: "I have long known that you traitors have evil intentions, but fortunately, I have been prepared for a long time."

Although Qin Yu's 10,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry lost half of it at the beginning of the war, he still has 5,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, that is, heavy armored cavalry, last night to attack the city, of course, he could not use cavalry, and now, he can put Xiliang Iron Cavalry into the battlefield again.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry took the lead in launching the attack, which was its tactical characteristic, and it had to strike first and rely on strong running to break the enemy's formation.

Five thousand Xiliang iron horsemen suddenly launched, and 20,000 horses' hooves hammered the ground, and the dust was filled, and the wolf horses from three directions rushed towards the distant Bingzhou wolf horsemen......

In addition to the 5,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry, the Liangzhou Yongjun also had 20,000 light cavalry, including 10,000 Western Regions Light Cavalry, 10,000 Three County Light Cavalry, relying on cavalry and archery to deal with the Bingzhou Army, and 30,000 Liangzhou foot soldiers.

The origin of the light cavalry in the Western Regions is very chaotic, most of them are the losers of the political struggle in the countries of the Western Regions, they have no way to live in the original country, and can only go east into the territory of Dayong to seek a living.

Qin Yu selected light cavalry from among these people who were good at cavalry and archery and formed the Western Regions Light Cavalry.

The part of the light cavalry of the three counties is the young and strong of the three counties in the northwest of Liangzhou, who have lived in the border for a long time, and have fought with the alien races around the border all the year round, and have practiced a whole body of riding and archery kung fu.

Qin Yu recruited all the young men who were good at riding and shooting in Liangzhou, and then selected the elite from them, together with the excellent war horses taken from the Guanshan Horse Garden, to form the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. The rest formed the Liangzhou Light Cavalry.

Although more than 2,000 wolf cavalry in Bingzhou are also elite troops, and their combat effectiveness is also extremely strong, but the number is too small, and they are completely at a disadvantage.

Since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties in the Central Plains, especially in the melee of various countries for more than two hundred years, the tactics of chariots, cavalry, foot soldiers, and naval armies have long been studied by the generals of the Central Plains.

In terms of cavalry alone, the light cavalry is erratic and extremely fast, and the chariot and foot soldiers are the lambs to be slaughtered against the light cavalry with bows and crossbows, so the opponent of the light cavalry is the light cavalry.

Heavy cavalry is full of impact, is a sharp weapon to impact the enemy's foot camp, more than two hundred years of conquest has allowed the countries to find their own ways to deal with the heavy cavalry, the Kwantung countries are to seize the weakness of the heavy cavalry, on the war horse, shoot people first shoot the horse, although the heavy cavalry horse has a vest to protect the body, but the horse's legs are still exposed, this is the weakness.

And Yongguo also has its own way to deal with the enemy's heavy cavalry, Yongguo has been fighting with the northern Hue all the year round, Pusha in the west, and the southern Xuanguo country, and has defeated the heavy cavalry, and the most commonly used method in Yongguo is to withstand the impact of the heavy cavalry in formation, and then gradually eliminate the enemy's Tiefutu with a strong bow and crossbow.

Sima of the wolf cavalry brigade galloped towards the south gate with the wolf cavalry, and the Liangzhou cavalry followed closely behind, Qin Yu looked even more excited, he personally led the troops to charge, and did not have the slightest intention of cherishing horsepower.

When the two armies are one in front of the other,

When it was not far from the southern city gate, Uluo came up with more than 2,600 wolf riders and more than 1,700 righteous soldiers.

Under the leadership of his own general, Bingzhou Yicong fearlessly rushed to the Liangzhou light cavalry chasing in front, and the entire Bingzhou wolf cavalry gathered together, and also killed the Xiliang iron cavalry who were in hot pursuit.

The first to attack was the righteous servant of the state who was armed with a strong crossbow. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" With the sound of the bowstring, the iron arrows shot out like a storm.

The iron arrows swished into the cavalry group, and the Liangzhou light cavalry suddenly received a huge blow, and a group of people turned over on their backs, especially the hundreds of Western Regions light cavalry who charged in front of the front row, almost all of them fell to the ground with arrows, and many cavalry fell to the ground in the middle, plus they tripped over many cavalry behind, and a round of iron arrows shot out, losing nearly 1,000 Liangzhou light cavalry.

The reason why Bingzhou Yicong was able to have such a large casualty of nearly 2,000 arrows in one round was that the Liangzhou light cavalry did not have iron armor on their bodies, and they only wore a light leather armor. And the light cavalry of the Western Regions did not even have leather armor, they only had a battle robe, and their defense power was almost zero.

However, in the cavalry team of 25,000 people, the loss of more than 1,000 soldiers was still too little, which only made the momentum of the attack slightly sluggish, which had little impact on the overall strength, but the momentum of the attack was reduced by a few points, and the pressure on the defending side was greatly reduced, which only the extremely experienced commander knew about this subtle change.

After a short period of confusion, the Liangzhou cavalry quickly returned to normal, and at this time they had already killed in front of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, but without the terrifying momentum of the landslide and the cracking, the raging waves also turned into a flash flood.

Wuluo took the wolf ride of Bingzhou, his right arm clamped the horse lance, his left arm was raised, and he threw it hard, throwing five thousand stainless steel short spears into the Liangzhou cavalry formation in an instant.

After throwing the short spear, the wolf rode straightened and clamped the spear under his armpit. After losing thousands of people, the Liangzhou cavalry finally collided with the Liangzhou wolf cavalry, relying on the numerical advantage, the Liangzhou cavalry attacked the Liangzhou wolf cavalry again and again in batches, but the Liangzhou wolf cavalry was like an iron wall, extremely tenacious, and withstood the impact of the Liangzhou cavalry again and again.

With the high defense of their own armor, the wolf rider blocked the attack of the Liangzhou cavalry, but the light defense is still not good, the defense should be with a counterattack, and the wolf rider in the state holds a spear left and right stab, and the spear in the hands of some cavalry is broken because it has just been rushed, so the broken spear is thrown, and then the ring knife on the waist is pulled out to slash.

Just when Qin Yu led the Liangzhou cavalry to fight with the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou, he suddenly heard the sound of shouting behind him, he took the time to look back, and suddenly felt like a dead soul.

It turned out that in the rear of Qin Yu, the Liangzhou infantry had collapsed and turned into a rout, and behind the rout, there were more than 3,000 cavalry and more than 5,000 foot soldiers.

The clock went back an hour ago.

At this time, the battle outside the North City Gate had completely ended, Wang Rong asked Li Zong to continue to clean up the battlefield and annihilate the remnants of the enemy, while he himself personally took the Bingzhou Yicong brought by Chu Luxu to pursue the fleeing Qin Xu, and did not give Qin Xuan the slightest time to react, and Qin Xu, who had retreated to the camp, had not had time to recruit the remnants of the soldiers and repair the team, and the bad news came one after another.

First, the army was defeated, the stars were scattered, and many generals were killed in battle. Then there was a messenger sent to the east and south gates to report back, and Qin Yu and Qin Mu's army was also attacked by the state army and suffered heavy losses.

And the most terrible thing is that he lost contact with the two Yong armies, although the east and south also heard the sound of soldiers, but they did not know the specific situation at all. When it was around midnight, news finally came, but it was the Bingzhou army that came one after another.

The camp of Qin Xuan was crowded and chaotic, and Wang Rong led more than 2,000 cavalry to the camp of the Yongjun army and quickly broke through the defense of the camp. The Yongjun, who had already been nervous, suffered another tragic change, screaming hysterically in the camp, and then fell in a pool of blood one by one.

Wang Rong led the troops to assault before and after for only a quarter of an hour, and there was no follow-up to this battle. Qin Xuan once again chose to flee for his life, it seemed that for him, since he took the first difficult step, there were only a few times left to escape later. In his heart, the throne in the city is the most important, and only by living can he firmly grasp the throne.

Qin Xu's desperate madness fled for his life, and finally let him pick up a life in the pursuit of the righteous servants of Bingzhou. And Wang Rong did not pursue it closely, and after completely defeating the Yongjun army in Guanzhong, he received military reports from the south city gate and the east city gate.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Rong made a decisive decision, and he ordered, "Brother Chu, would you like to continue the battle with me?"

Chu Luxu raised his arm, wiped the blood on his face with his battle robe, and said loudly, "Why not? Marshal, are you going to the East City Gate?"

Wang Rong nodded, and the two of them took the Bingzhou Yicong through the North City Gate and came to the East City Gate.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou infantry is not strong, there are 30,000 people, forming more than a dozen large formations, which can still bring huge casualties to Wang Rong's cavalry of 3,000 people.

In order to reduce casualties, Wang Rong and Chu Luxu took advantage of the cavalry of the Liangzhou Yicong, with two regiments of more than 3,000 and more than 3,000 Yicong and more than 3,000 bows and crossbows, kept shooting arrows outside the attack range of the Liangzhou infantry soldiers, and it took two quarters of an hour to finally defeat them.

Then, the servants of Bingzhou began to drive the Liangzhou soldiers to flee in the direction of the south city gate, which became what Qin Yu saw now.
