Thundered!

The galloping majesty of the war horse is like a mountain and a sea.

Three thousand cavalry and six thousand war horses rolled up puffs of smoke and dust, like a yellow dragon.

The person who led the troops this time was replaced by Xiao Qing.

More than two months have passed since the last summer harvest, and seeing the autumn harvest in Hebei, Wanyan Zonghan plans to repeat his old tricks.

He naturally knew the news that the Yuzhou army was stationed in Zhending Mansion.

The State of Qi has a secret spy department, and the State of Jin also has it.

It's just that compared to the secret spy department under Han Zhen, the structure of the Jin State spy organization is chaotic and too violent.

How vigorous is it?

In the third year of Zhao Gou's succession to the throne in Lin'an, Jin State spies posted big-character posters in the downtown area of Lin'an at night, criticizing Zhao Gou for being mediocre and incompetent, and advocating the rule of Jin officials and so on.

This is a secret spy, for fear that he will not be exposed.

This situation continued until Jin Shizong succeeded to the throne and overthrew Yan Zonghan, which improved and gradually became regular.

So much so that later, the examination paper of the champion of the Southern Song Dynasty imperial examination would appear on Jin Shizong's desk within a few days.

This time he went south to Zhending Mansion, it didn't matter if he couldn't grab something, if he could disgust Qi State, then his goal would be achieved.

He has reached an alliance with Wanyan Zongwang, and Yanjing's side will also act at the same time.

One is to destroy Yan Wu's plan to buy begging, and the other is to explore the reality of the Yuzhou army and prepare for the next expedition.

It is said that Qi Guo's firearms and artillery are fierce, but what kind of ferocious method it is, Wanyan Zonghan and his subordinates don't know.

Only by experiencing it first-hand can we better cope with it in the future.

Xiao Qing was very cautious, and after entering Daizhou, he sent the scouts out for twenty miles.

A team of three people, set up a point every three miles, and communicate in flags.

Every quarter of an hour, information is delivered.

After galloping for more than thirty miles, Xiao Qing waved his hand and signaled the cavalry behind him to slow down his horse.

After stopping, the cavalry dismounted, took out bean cakes, salt and water, and began to feed the horses.

At this moment, a tall and strong man stepped forward and reported: "Qianhu, the spies in the direction of Wutai Mountain have not sent back news for half an hour. ”

This person's name is Gao Foliu, a Khitan man, and he is a fierce general under Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qingyao looked in the direction of Wutai Mountain and sneered: "It seems that the Yuzhou Army has an ambush in Wutai Mountain. ”

Gao Foliu proposed: "The terrain of Wutai Mountain is steep, and only one road passes through the mountain, which is not conducive to the cavalry's play, so it is better to detour to Shizui Town and find a bridge to cross." ”

Daizhou enters Zhending Mansion, and there are only two roads, Wutai Mountain and Shizui Town.

"Yes."

Xiao Qing nodded.

If he was replaced by a foot soldier, he would never dare to be so arrogant and go deep alone.

Otherwise, after they cross the river, they only need to destroy the bridge, and the Yuzhou army can close the door and beat the dogs.

But three thousand light horsemen, still one man and three horses, mobility has reached its peak, coming and going like the wind.

Even if the Yuzhou army wants to encircle, is it too late?

No way, cavalry, as the strongest branch of the army that has ruled the war for thousands of years, is not for nothing.

Especially the light cavalry, when a light cavalry is bent on escaping, no one can stop it.

This is where Xiao Qing's confidence lies, and it is also the most headache for the Central Plains Dynasty in the face of nomads.

People can come when they want, and they can leave when they want, what can you do?

After feeding the war horses, the three thousand cavalry mounted their horses again and headed straight for Shizui Town.

Daizhou belongs to Hedong Road, which is already sparsely populated, and in the past few months, the Jin soldiers went south, and part of the population was captured by Wanyan Zonghan to Datong, and the other part ran to Hebei West Road to escape the war.

As a result, the population of the entire Daizhou has dropped dramatically, and it is no longer more than 10,000.

The residents of Shizui Town are only a few hundred.

At this moment, the gate of Shizui Town was closed, and the people were shivering and hiding in the city.

On the streets of the town, five hundred cavalrymen wearing dark and heavy armor sat cross-legged on the ground, and more than a thousand war horses stood there quietly with horsemouth cages on their mouths.

At this time, an inspector slipped down from the castle tower, trotted to the cavalry led by him, and reported: "Military ...... Master Jun, the golden man is here! ”

"Keep exploring."

Wang Wu waved his hand indifferently.

After the inspection left, he beckoned: "Get on the horse!" ”

Crash!

With the sound of armor leaf rubbing, five hundred cavalrymen got up one after another, turned over and stepped onto their horses.

This is the advantage of mountain pattern armor, even if you are wearing heavy armor, you can easily get on and off the war horse without the support of a slave horseman.

……

Three thousand light horsemen galloped from the official road with billowing smoke and dust.

At the same time, there are constantly spies coming from all directions.

"Thousands of households, no ambushes have been found in the southeast."

"Thousands of households, within a radius of five miles across the bridge, there are no ambushes."

“……”

Xiao Qing glanced at Shizui Town, where the city gate was closed in the distance, and ordered, "Cross the river!" ”

Even if there are ambushes in Shizui Town, how many can there be?

A small town that killed hundreds of people.

As the cavalry came to the banks of the Qingshui River, the first cavalry began to cross the river.

A thousand cavalry took the lead in crossing the river, and when Xiao Qing was ready to cross the river on horseback, the city gate of Shizui Town was opened from the inside.

The heavily armored cavalry rushed out and headed straight for the bridge.

Thundered!

Five hundred heavily armored cavalry galloped, causing the earth to tremble slightly.

Xiao Qing's face changed, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a group of heavily armored cavalry in the distance swinging out of a horizontal formation and charging towards him.

The men and horses were all in armor, and the dark armor exuded a chill in the scorching sun, like a torrent of steel.

"Quick, spread out, spread out!"

After a short period of distraction, Xiao Qing yelled at the top of his throat.

Although the enemy cavalry is only a few hundred, it is a heavy cavalry, how can light cavalry compete with it?

Facing the battle is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

Herod!

Many horses were frightened and screamed.

The 2,000 Jin cavalry, who had not yet crossed the river, immediately dispersed to the left and right.

Wang Wu's timing was too good, and he attacked halfway.

and used the Qingshui River to block the retreat of the Jin cavalry.

The gallop of the two-mile road allowed the speed of the heavy cavalry to reach its peak.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"

At this moment, the two thousand golden cavalry fell into chaos and fought separately.

Under the command of an Overseer, a rain of arrows was fired at the heavily armored cavalry.

The arrows slammed into the armor with a clanging crunch, and all of them bounced off.

Rumble!

The next moment, the two sides collided together.

Although under the command of Xiao Qing, the Jin cavalry had spread out as much as possible, but the heavy cavalry of the Yuzhou army was in a horizontal formation.

The five hundred cavalry lined up, covering a wide range of areas, there was no way to avoid it.

Wang Wu held a spear in his hand, and with the power of the war horse's charge, he stabbed through a golden cavalryman with one shot.

As soon as he hit him, he immediately let go of the barrel of the gun, drew the steel knife at his waist, and slashed left and right.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Qing is experienced in the end, and without the slightest hesitation, he ran away.

If he led the Iron Floating Massacre, he would naturally not be afraid, but all the people under his command were kidnappers and horses, and in order to improve mobility, they were all lightly armed and dressed in leather armor.

In this case, how can you fight hard with the heavy riding like an iron lump?

The battle comes and ends quickly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the battle was over.

Above the Qingshui River, a thick smell of blood wafted.

More than 400 light cavalry were killed, and all the rest ran away.

Peng Quan said excitedly: "Brigade commander, do you want to chase it?" ”

"Chasing?"

Wang Wu glanced at him with contempt, pouted, and said, "Take your head to chase?" ”

Peng Quan realized that he had made a fool, and laughed, and then asked, "What about the Jin cavalry on the other side of the river?" ”

"We block the river crossing, and leave the rest to Du Shuai."

Wang Wu said and ordered: "Count the battle damage!" ”

Looking at the thousands of war horses scattered along the river, he was overjoyed.

It's all a feat!
