Wang Sang reacted quickly.

He can find the Shao thief, and the Shao thief must have found him too.

These so-called Long Sword Troops were sent by the Shao thieves to delay them.

"Whoosh! Sou! "On the other side of the river flew a dense stream of crossbow bolts.

The sergeants who were smashing the river ice immediately hid behind the big shield, at a loss.

A few others were shot to the ground, screaming again and again.

Husband war, courage also!

After Wang Sang heard that Shao Xun was going north, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to fight, so he reaped the consequences at this time.

More than 200 crossbow machines on the opposite side suddenly attacked, and the arrows were like flying locusts, forcing the enemy back on the spot.

Because they were marching south, they didn't even build a barracks, but only roughly surrounded them with vehicles, and then put some antlers and horses to protect themselves.

After the Ice Knocker retreated, the camp was even more panicked.

Now no one has any objection to discarding bulky goods. People are so cheap, it was useless to talk about it before, and many people objected, thinking that they could take away the goods smoothly. Now, one by one, I panicked, and I felt that it was not unacceptable to leave like this without money, in short, it was important to save my life.

Looking at the sergeants in the camp full of commotion, Wang Sang only felt depressed in his heart.

If my brother were here, he would definitely be criticized for being frizzy and misbehaved, so that he would have no fighting spirit and no fighting spirit.

But he was also aggrieved.

If it weren't for my brother's repeated defeats at the hands of Shao Xun before, would I need to be so panicked? There's no need.

Beat Pei Chun and Sima Yue, I never frowned. Even cooperating with Shi Chao and Shi Le's war in Hebei, I am also very active.

It's really Shao Xun's person-damn, it's too late to say anything now.

"Withdraw!" Wang Sang made a decision immediately and gave an order.

He left 2,000 men in the camp to confront the 300 soldiers on the other side of the river. In addition, all the cavalry were sent out and marched north to touch the more than 1,000 soldiers who cut off their rear route.

As for the 1,000 pioneers who set off half a day earlier, there is no news so far, and it is estimated that the Shao thieves have been surrounded and annihilated.

After the order was given, the whole camp began to act in a chaotic manner like ants that had blown up their nests.

Chang Cang, the deputy governor of the Long Sword Army on the other side of the river, was dumbfounded.

In his impression, Wang Mi's army should have gotten rid of the category of the exile army, and it can be regarded as a bit of combat effectiveness. This will see, why is the combat power still regressing?

I knew that they were so bad, and the prince should have been bold when arranging his troops, and he didn't need to be as cautious as he is now—well, the tactics of "cautious" in Chang Cang's eyes were already "spicy and bold" in the eyes of others.

"Find a place to cross the river." Chang Cang put away the crossbow machine and ordered directly.

"No." The soldiers of the government looked at the commotion on the other side, their morale increased sharply, and they responded loudly.

At this time, the hundreds of cavalry mobilized by Wang Sang also arrived at the garrison of the government led by Chen Yougen.

There are more than 1,000 people in total, and people who are idle on weekdays and have nothing to practice with rifles and spears stand in front.

In daily practice, people who feel good archery skills are interspersed among rifle and spearmen.

Those who were proficient in blunt weapons followed with long axes, wooden axes, and hooked scythes.

Others with long swords and crossbows in their hands were eager to try.

The enemy cavalry tried to charge, but after being fired by the crossbow machine, they left behind more than 20 corpses and retreated into the distance.

They anxiously circled in circles, and there was nothing they could do with this group of people armed to the teeth.

Don't think that more infantry can defeat cavalry head-on, this is not necessarily.

During the Tang Dynasty, Su Dingfang led 5,000 cavalry infantry to pursue the Western Turks, and after arriving at the ground, he chose a high place to dismount and line up.

The high ground is not very high, at least you can charge on horseback, but you will slow down.

The Western Turks surrounded Su Dingfang, rushed three times, but could not rush, and finally even because of too many casualties, morale was severely defeated, and finally Su Dingfang mobilized more than 10,000 foot cavalry to fight back.

At this time, the cavalry under Wang Sang's tent encountered this dilemma, and the number of people was still less than that of the government soldiers, and the armor and equipment were even inferior to them, so they really didn't know how to break through the more than 1,000 heavily armored government soldiers.

Chen Yougen climbed to a high place, and after looking at it for a while, he directly picked up the heavy sword, rushed forward, and shouted: "Kill with me!" ”

Drums rang out on the hillside.

A full 800 soldiers lined up in a neat line and slaughtered in the direction of the enemy's cavalry.

Their pace was not fast, and they maintained their strength well, and some of the daring crossbowmen, after reloading, even went far away to try to shoot at the cavalry.

The archers were also eager to try, scattering on either side of the lancers and pikemen, slowly wandering, and when the enemy approached, they surprised him with their strong bows.

The enemy cavalry was forced to move, far away, and then went around to the flank or even the rear of the government soldiers, looking for opportunities.

But in just half an hour, what chance can there be?

The soldiers breathed steadily, calmed down, and their physical strength and energy were obviously very abundant.

After the enemy cavalry had turned around, they really did not find a good opportunity, so they rode their horses and galloped into the distance.

Chen Yougen got impatient and asked people to raise the flag.

A moment later, the 400 soldiers who remained on the small high ground mounted their horses, held their thick horse lances, and rushed towards the enemy cavalry with a thunderous force.

"Mother and Daughter!"

"Kill the thief!"

Nearly 1,000 cavalry on both sides fought in the wilderness.

One side is the armored heavy cavalry, the other side is the light cavalry, just one hedge, Wang Sangbu suffered a big loss, and was directly scattered.

Someone ran around in a dizzy way.

Chen Yougen led the infantry forward.

As soon as the hook and sickle were hooked, the horse fell to the ground in agony.

The enemy's cavalry was so skilled that they leaped down in mid-air and rolled on the ground, unloading their momentum. Just about to get up, he heard a crisp sound of "bang", and a long axe smashed heavily on his head.

There were also people who were even worse, they were directly knocked off their horses by the long wooden canopy, spitting blood from their mouths, and they struggled for a long time before they could get up.

A government soldier stepped forward and stabbed his heavy sword directly into his heart, helping him end his pain.

"Whoosh! Sou! "Dense arrows shot out.

Any enemy cavalry that runs blindly and crashes into it must be "tested" in this way. Obviously, most people could not pass, and often people and horses were shot into hedgehogs.

The battle lasted only a moment or two, and hundreds of enemy horsemen were slaughtered. The rest of the people were terrified, and when they found that the horselance cavalry was about to charge again, they immediately turned their horses and dispersed in a puff of smoke.

Chen Yougen cut off the last head with all his might, looked at the enemy horse who retreated in a hurry, and laughed.

The combat effectiveness formed by the combination of infantry and cavalry is much stronger than that of simple infantry or cavalry.

The point is that infantry – especially hoplites – often can't keep up with the speed of cavalry, and that's the biggest shackle.

Still have to have horses, a lot of horses!

Even if it's not a war horse, it's just a horse, or even a mule, it's of great value.

The speed of the horse is fast, but the horsepower is limited. As long as I take a few more mules and ride them instead, sooner or later I will be able to catch up with your horses, which are no longer running.

Once he catches up, these heavily armored foot soldiers under his command can slaughter the enemy cavalry in all directions.

It's just too expensive, too expensive.

"The cavalry marched forward and attacked the thief army." After defeating the enemy cavalry, Chen Yougen began to order: "The infantry army should be in formation. Today is death, and you must die on this road. ”

"No." The soldiers replied loudly.

******

On the south bank of Weishui, there has been a big banner of the word "Shao" fluttering high.

If the distance of ten miles is in the mountains, it may take half a day or even half a day.

If it's in the plains, it's about half a day's walk.

But when you give up your guard and march at full speed, it may not take you more than an hour.

Shao Xun looked at the empty and infinite fields around him and decided to take this risk.

He scattered the hundreds of cavalry of the righteous army far away, chatted as a guard, and then took six thousand soldiers of the Silver Spear Army, threw off the baggage convoy, and advanced at full speed.

They didn't even wear armor, they only brought guns, bows, and knives - they marched normally, and they generally didn't carry guns on the road, which was too much of a hindrance.

In an early moment, thousands of people arrived on the south bank of the river, and then searched for the frozen surface of the river, and passed in a big way.

On the north bank of the river, there were corpses lying on the ground, most of them were thieves, and there were a small number of government soldiers.

The silver-speared sergeant did not squint and continued to move forward.

Shao Xun walked in the front, panting slightly.

He glanced at a certain soldier on the left, and said with a smile: "Zhang Damao, are you tired?" ”

Zhang Damao gasped and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm a little tired." ”

Shao Xun laughed and said, "Catch up with the thief army, kill him on the head, and then take his goods." When you think about it, don't you feel tired? ”

Zhang Damao smiled shyly and said, "I want a silk, and I will make new clothes for A-Niang when I go back." ”

"Yes." Shao Xun nodded and said.

After speaking, he looked at the person on his right hand and said, "Yang Qin, the first time you go to the battlefield, are you afraid?" ”

Yang Qin is the son of Yang Bao, the captain of the Luoyang branch, who is fifteen years old this year and has been a soldier by Shao Xun's side for a year.

"Prince." Yang Qin was young, panting heavily, and said intermittently: "I...... I'm just afraid...... Forgotten. ”

"Not afraid of death?"

"Death is death." The young man loves face, and he can't hear others say that he is afraid of death, so he stiffens his neck and says: "But after he dies, he is ...... I can't stand being forgotten. ”

"It won't be forgotten." Shao Xun looked at the rearguard of the thief army faintly visible in the distance, and said, "How can defending Sangzi and defending against foreign insults be forgotten?" ”

After speaking, he grabbed Yang Qin's arm and said, "Work hard, hold on." Kill him and get his head out! ”

"Kill him on the head!" Zhang Damao and Yang Qin shouted in unison.

"Kill him on the head!" More people should rise up, and the sound gradually rose, one after another, and spread throughout the wilderness.

Looking down from the air, hundreds of steps ahead, the government soldiers led by Chang Cang had already mounted their horses for the second time, repeatedly entangled the retreating Wang Sang army.

Wang Sang sent a part of his people to deal with them, but because of low morale, the effect was not very good. And they have horses, so they can't get on their horses and retreat for a while, looking for an opportunity to come again.

Wang Sang seems to have discovered the fact that the Silver Spear Army is chasing after him.

He was so anxious that he split some of his men and tried to block the pursuers.

The pursuers quickened their pace.

From a distance, it was like a silver wave, crashing into the cliff shore with great ferocity.

The first wave is followed by the second, and the list is endless......

The first drum beat of "Knock Knock Knock ......" sounded.

The speed of the silver wave increased abruptly.

"Knock knock knock ......" The second drum sounded.

"Whoa!" The sound of the spear being flattened came and went.

Arrows were fired from the opposite side.

The arrow took advantage of the wind, fast and urgent.

The pro-soldiers rushed to Shao Xun's body one after another, and the big shields were layered on top of each other, covering them tightly, and they were afraid that they could block it if they shot a strong crossbow.

Shao Xun held a knife in his left hand, and dragged Yang Qin, who was already a little unable to run, with pride, and smiled; "The thieves are near, rush forward and crush them!"

"Knock knock knock ......" The third drum sounded.

The soldiers began to run in small steps, spears and rushed forward.

The waves crashed against the cliff shore and shattered it.

The two thousand thieves after the break failed to resist for even a moment, and instantly rushed to pieces.

Yang Qin gently broke free of Shao Xun's arm, and the horizontal knife protected him in front of him.

Zhang Damao's figure is gone.

More people came out of the crowd and chased after the enemy, killing like thunder.

Wang Sang's army was frightened, and the formation became more and more scattered, and it gradually became uncontrollable.

He stood on the spot and ordered the whole army to stop retreating and turn to the enemy.

The silver waves surged again, slamming down, and the cliff bank collapsed completely.

Waves poured in through the cracks, breaking up the cliff bank into pieces, then encircling and submerging it.

The disintegrating earth and rocks float and sink in the waves, gradually dissolving into the invisible.

No one can reverse this trend.

Under the surging momentum, those who try to block will only be crushed.
