075 [Why Fear Life and Death]

On the city wall, Duan Zuozhang's gaze was contemplative, constantly moving between the close fight and the cavalry duel in the distance.

Inside the city gate, Liu Tongzhao and Ning Yong each led 1,500 elite foot soldiers, waiting patiently and anxiously.

The soldiers struggled to adjust their breathing, their eyes fixed on the closed gates.

Outside the urn city, Lu Shen led the cavalry of the reserve army to successfully break into the front of the Jing army, and the opponent's interception was not particularly tenacious, which made Lin Xi next to him suspicious.

Judging from the past history, although the Jing army foot soldiers are not as famous as their cavalry, they are also a very strong army.

"Senior brother!" Lin Xi came closer, shouting loudly as he waved his horse chopping knife.

Lu Shen seemed to know what she was worried about, and said succinctly: "Senior sister, wait a little longer." ”

Lin Xi didn't ask again, and she couldn't be allowed to get to the bottom of it on the battlefield, so she immediately gathered her mind to deal with the battle in front of her.

Lu Shen deliberately suppressed the speed of the team's advance, although the rush was smooth all the way. Jing's infantry did not seem to be prepared for the onslaught of cavalry, but instead of rushing headlong, he took advantage of the weakness of the opponent's defensive line to expand his gains to the west.

On the chariot in the distance, Qin Chun noticed the movement of the Qi army's cavalry, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

At the moment when the opponent's cavalry left the city, he guessed that the main general of the Guangling army was thinking, which was nothing more than to take advantage of the arrival of reinforcements and the panic of the Jing army to seek greater victories.

Therefore, he deliberately ordered the front to be deliberately loosened, giving the opposing cavalry a chance to rush in, and even in the next step, he was ready to let the other party rush straight to the Chinese army, so as to create the illusion that the Jing army was about to rout, and lure the main force of the Guangling army to come out.

If the other party is not fooled, he will eat the more than 1,000 cavalry that rushed in, and then turn back to clean up the Jingzhou cavalry.

It's just that these more than 1,000 cavalry were able to withstand it, and instead of rushing in in a hurry, they were entangled on the edge of the position.

At this moment, a military general suddenly shouted: "General, that cavalry is rushing over!" ”

Qin Chun subconsciously looked at the reserve army led by Lu Shen, and found that the other party had not changed direction to kill the Chinese army, and the next moment he suddenly reacted, turned his head to look at the east of the battlefield, and his expression became solemn for the first time.

On the vast and flat land, Sang Mai once again led the cavalry to change direction, and wanted to adopt the tactics of flying a kite to walk the Jingzhou cavalry.

However, this time the other party did not follow.

From the moment he entered the battlefield to the present, except for the fierce Jing Dynasty cavalry who had been suppressed at the beginning, Li Bingxue's mind was always half on Guangling City in the distance, and at the same time commanded the Feiyu battalion to chase the opponent's two thousand cavalry unhurriedly.

If Sanmai had fought with the Flying Feather Battalion before, he would definitely not be so big, but honestly guarded the flank of the infantry formation.

Jingzhou is not like Huaizhou, relying on the Panlong Pass and the Lai'an defense line to keep the enemy out.

On the strip defense line with Pingyang City as the core, any place may be harassed by the Northern Yan Rangers, so as early as more than ten years ago, Li Tianrun set out to build an elite ranger army, which is the prototype of the Flying Feather Battalion.

On the surface, the Flying Feather Battalion is mainly responsible for spying on the military and driving away the sentinels sent from the north, but they are also tasked with raiding the hinterland of the opponent in a small elite way.

In short, the Feiyu Battalion is an elite cavalry cultivated by the Jingzhou Governor's Office with countless manpower and financial resources.

In peacetime, they can be divided into pieces to detect intelligence, and in wartime, they can be gathered together to form a sharp weapon to break the enemy.

Mo said that the strength of the Jing army is worse, that is, in the face of the most powerful cavalry under Qing Yugong's Xia Shan Army, as long as the strength is not much different, the Feiyu Battalion also has the strength to fight.

Under the control of Li Bingxue, the Flying Feather Battalion did not burst out with the strongest strength, so it would give Sang Mai the illusion that he could calmly fight and retreat.

When the west gate of Guangling was opened and Lu Shen led more than 1,000 people out of the city, Li Bingxue noticed this scene, and at the same time, there was a strange look in his eyes.

She had already learned before she came that the deputy commander Duan Zuozhang was in charge of the defense of Guangling City, although he was only thirty-five years old, he had been fighting horses for nearly 20 years, and he could be described as an out-and-out veteran of the battlefield.

Judging from the records on the data, Duan Zuozhang belongs to an extremely calm style of using soldiers, and generally does not take risks easily, so Li Bingxue was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect the other party to be able to understand his intentions and cooperate so decisively.

What surprised her even more was that there was a cavalry hidden in Guangling City.

These thoughts were fleeting, and she quietly led the Flying Feather Battalion to lengthen the distance between them and the Jing Army's cavalry, while constantly adjusting their direction.

When she saw the Guangling cavalry entering the Jing army's position, she no longer hesitated, and suddenly turned her horse's head towards the south.

The Feiyu battalion immediately turned, ignoring the cavalry that would be forced to the periphery, and thousands of horsemen accelerated towards the Jing army's main formation!

"Not good!"

A cold sweat broke out on Sang Mai's back in an instant, and he hurriedly led the cavalry to turn around, but the opponent only needed to turn slightly to achieve the goal, but they needed to turn one hundred and eighty degrees.

For a cavalry brigade running at high speed, this level of steering is by no means a simple U-turn, which will only throw itself into confusion, and it will take more time to regroup and charge.

Even if Sang Mai was full of anxiety, he had to lead his subordinates to circle out a semicircle on the vast plain, first slowing down and then accelerating, so as to ensure the integrity of the formation.

They had just begun to turn around, and the Flying Feather Battalion had already reached the place where the Jing Army was shooting near its main formation!

Li Bingxue held the horse lance in one hand and rushed to the front first.

The soldiers of the Flying Feather Battalion roared in unison, smashing up like a monstrous wave!

Today's attack on Guangling City, Qin Chun has made meticulous arrangements, except for the 2,000 cavalry led by Sang Mai, he divided the 12,000 infantry into four divisions, 3,000 people were responsible for the first wave of the main attack, and the remaining 9,000 people were tied according to the left, center, and right armies.

When the Feiyu battalion appeared and the Guangling cavalry took the initiative to attack out of the city, he had already adjusted the formation, letting go of the front formation and making the rear three formations more compact.

The archers and spearmen did not stop the Flying Feather Battalion, nor did they inflict much damage on the cavalry galloping at high speed.

The problem was that Qin Chun didn't expect that a Jingzhou cavalry would suddenly appear on the battlefield, so he didn't arrange a rejection horse on the periphery of the large array, and could only rely on spear and shield soldiers to block the front of the formation and face the impact from the side.

The Flying Feather Battalion was composed of more than 30 horsemen in a row, and the distance between each cavalry was two or three feet, and from the time they launched the charge to the front of the formation, their formation was maintained extremely well, and there was no dispersion at all.

From the perspective of Jingjun's spear and shield soldiers, he could only see the torrent of iron horses sweeping from a distance, and the closer he got, the more he could experience the extremely terrifying impact.

They took a deep breath to suppress the tension in their hearts, passively waiting for the arrival of this torrent.

Twenty zhang, ten zhang, five zhang, step into battle!

Li Bingxue took the lead, the white horse's four hooves were raised, and a neighing roar went straight to the sky, and suddenly jumped into the Jingjun array.

The two-foot-long lance was swung away, and several people died in an instant.

The soldiers of the Flying Feather Battalion followed closely, and only the moment they made contact, the formation of the Jing Army shook violently.

The next moment, Li Bingxue waved his horse lance and led his subordinates to drive straight in!

On the city wall of Guangling, Duan Zuozhang couldn't hide his excitement in his eyes, and immediately said: "Order Liu Tongzhao and Ning Yong to attack with all their strength and directly take the enemy's Chinese army!" ”

The magnificent and melodious sound of the horn resounded between the heavens and the earth, the west gate of Guangling was opened, and the two young captains who were vigorous and vigorous each led an army to kill, and rushed forward along the road opened up by the reserve army.

After hearing the signal of the general attack agreed with Duan Zuozhang in advance, Lu Shen swung his knife and hacked a Jing army foot soldier to death, and said loudly: "Take the Chinese army directly!" ”

Li Chengen immediately understood, and the high-pitched voice repeated Lu Shen's words, and the people behind him conveyed them in turn, and soon everyone knew what they should do next.

That is to follow Lu Shen and the others and keep moving forward!

At this moment, in the west of Guangling City, a bloody battle will begin.

Looking down from above, I saw thousands of cavalry from the Feiyu Battalion cutting into the flank of the Jing Army from the north, Lu Shen leading more than 1,000 cavalry to attack from the east, and behind them were 3,000 foot soldiers of the Guangling Army.

Sanmai arrived with cavalry, but could not change the situation of the melee.

At this moment, the gap between the strength of the two sides is not very large, the Jing army has more than 13,000 people, and the Qi army also has 8,000 people, and they all have the strength to fight under normal circumstances.

The point is that the morale of the two armies is very different.

Needless to say, the anger in the hearts of the Guangling defenders has been suppressed for a long time, whether it is the reserve army led by Lu Shen or the foot soldiers commanded by the two young captains.

They had witnessed the enemy army slaughtering civilians under the city without humanity, and if it weren't for Duan Zuozhang's forcible suppression, I am afraid that they would have wanted to go out of the city and fight the enemy desperately.

At this moment, he was finally able to fight face to face, and that sad and angry mood poured out in an instant, like a flash flood and thunderous landing.

"Kill!"

Countless roars erupted from his chest.

"Kill!"

Everyone brandished weapons and looked for Sergeant Jing desperately.

"Kill!"

Their eyes were red, and they pushed forward without fear of death.

The Jing army's formation began to waver, and then gradually dispersed, and more and more people felt that the weapons in their hands had become heavy.

It was as if they were not facing people, but beasts that had been released from their cages all over the mountains.

Lu Shen's eyes were firmly fixed on the enemy Chinese army in the distance, and he could vaguely see the figure of the enemy commander.

After coming to this world, he was cautious everywhere, even if he knew that Lu Tong had a wide range of connections, he didn't want to be a flamboyant and unscrupulous kid.

Because of the experience of his previous life and the invasion of illness, he cherished this opportunity to live again, so he never thought of indulging in presumptuousness.

However, watching those weak people die one after another under the enemy's butcher's knife, and looking at the ignorant and cowardly eyes of the five or six-year-old girl, a fire seemed to rise in his heart.

This fire will not burn his sanity, it will only make him let go of some of his worries and return to the temperament of the time when he never dragged his feet in the decision to kill.

He is a soldier and does not pin his anger on a battle of words.

Only a tooth for a tooth and blood for a blood!
