To the north of Liang County, there was a fire on the water surface of Rushui, and the smoke filled the sky. I don't know who set the fire on the other side, the pontoon bridge and the boats were burning, and in the smoke, the blackened men and horses shouted and ran on the riverbank.

A group of chaotic cavalry of the Yu army fled on the south bank, and there were Tang army rangers chasing behind, shouting and shouting and killing in chaos.

The cavalrymen were wearing the armor of the Yu army, and someone shouted, "Run! The Tang army is coming! Liang County wants to surrender to the Tang Army!"

The scouts of the Jing army, who watched the scene with bows and arrows, walked around and watched with their necks in their necks.

Seven or eight cavalry of the Jing army gathered nearby, and one of the generals stopped a cavalry of the Yu army who ran over, and angrily reprimanded: "Useless things, the Tang army is just a ranger crossing the river!"

The cavalryman of the Yu army glared and said loudly, "The Tang army will cross the river in a while!"

The Jing cavalry asked, "How many?!"

The cavalryman of the Yu army shook his head and replied, "I don't know, the mountains and fields are full of elite cavalry."

The Jing army general asked, "What did you see with your own eyes?"

The cavalry of the Yu army nodded like chickens pecking rice, and said, "There are too many, at least a million people!"

"Stupid pig!" After hearing this, the general of the Jing army cursed, "The Tang Army's infantry and minding together don't have a million!"

At this time, I saw the Tang army rangers on the flat ground in the distance gather together and rush straight to this side. The general of the Jing army patted his horse and left, and several cavalrymen also followed the horse and turned around and ran. The general of the Jing army instructed: "Go back to one person, report to Shangfeng, the main force of the Tang cavalry is in Liang County, and our people have burned the pontoon bridge."

On the Cao Canal on the north side of the river, the dense cavalry of the Jing army waded to the middle of the water, the water surface did not reach the horse's chest, too many war horses were in the river, stirring up the silt below, and the river water was as muddy as a big river.

From time to time, corpses appeared in the muddy waters, shouting up and down the side of the ship, and arrows flew wildly.

"Bell!"

The sharp ring-head knife slashed on the side of the ship, and with a heart-rending scream, the Jing cavalry, who were grabbing the side of the boat and wanted to climb up, immediately let go, and fell into the river from the side of the boat screaming. A moment later, the Tang soldier who was holding the ring-headed knife also lost his knife, covering his face with his hands, the tail feathers of an arrow were still trembling slightly, and blood was soaking out from between the soldier's fingers.

The ship was surrounded by people and horses, as if floating in the crowd.

Some Jing cavalry trekked from the water between the ships to the opposite bank, and the two banks surrounded the archery, and the sailing ships of the Tang army were full of holes in the sails, and the planks of the hull were all nailed with arrow feathers, as if Zhuge Kongming grass boats borrowed arrows.

The Tang army fought desperately, but it could not stop such a strong attack, and it was killed and wounded. After the cavalry of the Jing army attacked the ship, it was very fierce, after a cavalry climbed onto the boat on foot, his movements were very sharp, the iron sword in his hand swept away, and accurately cut the throat of the other party, the sound of the blade touching the flesh and blood, "bang", short and powerful, the blood light immediately splashed out, and a Tang army covered in iron armor in front of him fell on the deck with a "clang".

The bodies in the water were still bleeding, and the blood from the side of the boat was dripping down the planks. The murky water stenched of silt and blood, and the brown mud was dark red.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded faintly on the opposite bank.

The generals of the Jing army who were watching the battle on the south bank of the Caoqu were all dumbfounded, and Hu Yi's attention was also cast on the horse team coming from afar.

Damn, just as I was about to take control of the ferry, reinforcements came.

Many people were surprised and worried, but Ling Huyi was still steady. On both sides of the Cao Canal, a horse flat river; When the sun is shining in the sky, the sky and the earth are clear and bright, and the line of sight is extremely open. Ling Hu Yi found that there were not many horse teams.

The general worried: "Mo is not the forward of the Tang Army, and a large number of horsemen are still behind."

Ling Huyi said coldly, "It may be the Tang Army's mounted infantry."

On the battle array, especially in this kind of rapid and mobile short-term combat, it relies on decisive and accurate judgment, and one or two key and effective attacks, and there is not so much time to look ahead and look backwards.

Ling Huyi was not going well today, he was in an irritable mood, but his mind was still very clear, and he said, "The cavalry of the Tang Army is near Liang County, intending to cut off our army's retreat and threaten it; Ahead you want to rely on the river and

The cavalry infantry dragged the iron cavalry of our Jing army, so as to implement the strategy of encirclement. But it is impossible for these horsemen and infantry to hold back the iron cavalry of our Jing army."

Ling Huyi resolutely ordered: "Order the front army to cross the Cao Canal, attack the Tang army reinforcements at any cost, and stand firm on the opposite bank."

As expected, the Tang army's horse team approached the river bank and immediately dismounted and lined up.

Ling Huyi snorted when he saw this.

At this moment, the military general of the scout battalion came to report: "The main cavalry brigade of the Tang army attacked the Rushui pontoon bridge, and our people burned the pontoon bridge."

"Very good!" Ling Hu Yi was even more convinced that the Tang cavalry had gathered in the southwest of Luoyang, and the Jing cavalry retreated westward.

If Ling Huyi was Wang Rong, he would build a bridge over the river between Luoyang and Xuanwei City to cross the river, and quickly approach the Jing army; If that's the case, it's not easy for Ling Hu Yi to go and have to fight in the field. But this is not the case, the facts are in front of him, and Ling Huyi doesn't bother to care about Wang Rong's strange head.

Ling Huyi observed the Tang army on the other side, and with experience, he was sure that he could defeat it, which was nothing more than paying a little more price; But this price can be ignored on the size of the army of tens of thousands of horsemen.

The cavalry of the Tang army was still far away in Liang County, and it would take time to come, so Ling Hu Yi judged that the Jing army could calmly cross the Cao Canal and detour to the south from the east.

After a while, another situation was reported.

The Tang army had a large force of cavalry from ten miles southeast of Luoyang across the pontoon bridge and went straight to the Jing army. The left wing of the Jing army went to test the attack, and the Tang army hurriedly dismounted and lined up.

Ling Hu Yi almost laughed when he heard this, and sneered: "The Tang army lacks real horse warriors, so they use infantry and horses to pretend to be cavalry. Last year, I was beaten and crushed, and now I finally dare not use it as a cavalryman.

The generals were very nervous and said, "The Tang army is surrounded on three sides, the infantry is close to us first, and there are rivers all around, and the situation is a little bad."

Ling Huyi thought about it again cautiously, and sneered, "Your courage is smaller than that of Tang Jun. Let's just open this place, don't rush. The Tang army is busy everywhere and scaring people, but Ben Hou wants to see what they can do?"

Ling Hu Yi ordered, "Order the cavalry on the left flank to advance into the Tang army's military formation. In its array phalanx, the cavalry of our army lined up without a fight, and rode to watch; As soon as its formation moved, it mounted its horse and hurried away, and then seized the fighter plane to attack!"

"Yes!"

On the other side of the river, some cavalry of the Jing army wading across the river rushed to the Tang army's array advancing in formation, and were immediately shot into a hornet's nest, and the people and horses on the ground were full of arrow feathers, and the corpses were placed on the ground.

In the middle of the river, countless Jing soldiers stood in the muddy water, shouting and pushing the boats towards the opposite bank, and the shouts shook the heavens and the earth, and even the boats were pushed to the shallow riverbank.

The horses of the Jing soldiers gathered on the deck of the ship, and the iron riders of the Praetorian Guard, armed with round shields and spears, gathered in formation in the shallow water behind the ship. The other cavalry of the Jing army rushed forward one after another, riding their horses and charging over.

After several captured boats were pushed to the shore, there were more people on the river, as if a large group of people were struggling in the mud. A Jing general rode his horse to the west bank, shouting and urging the forward to attack.

"Ah! Ahh

The cavalry of the Jing army rushed to the shore again with a strange scream, and killed it in a mess, and there were cavalry in the river behind it.
