Chapter 358: Sentinel Battle

"Drive, drive, drive!" Thousands of horses ran on the land of Yangzhou, this time leading a cavalry captain, this cavalry is one of the Liu family's daring army, this war they are responsible for the entire army's forward military investigation. As soon as the army came out of Jianye City, the death squad immediately divided thousands of horses and ran at the front of the team, this time their goal was to attack towards Shouchun, Liu Fan's army this time was to sweep away Yangzhou Zhang Rang's shili to completely control Yangzhou.

Shouchun's Su Lie Division has already taken the lead in advancing to Jianye, but they are not the protagonists of this war. The number of Yangzhou's army concentrated in Shouchun has reached 500,000, and it is impossible to capture Shouchun City with Su Lie's 100,000 army, not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Yangzhou in the rear as support.

"Captain Liu, in another twenty miles, we should have entered the territory of Shouchun, and the intelligence shows that a group of troops are gathering towards Shouchun, what do you think we should do?"

The leader of the team is Captain Liu Hongtao, who originally served in the Praetorian Guard, and can be regarded as a battle-hardened general, otherwise the position of this striker would not have fallen on his head. Liu Hongtao looks like a tiger, and there is a scar on his face from his forehead to the corner of his mouth, which adds to his fierceness.

Liu Hongtao looked up and looked around, the surrounding terrain was flat, there was no place to hide, and the rice seedlings that only reached their waists could not hide their war horses at all. Liu Hongtao glanced at the five tigers who followed behind him, when the team left the team, Liu Fan specially instructed the most dangerous places to let these five people be responsible for charging the battle, and when marching and fighting, they should also listen to the opinions of the five people, although Liu Hongtao was a little disdainful of this, but the strength of the five people made Liu Hongtao not doubt it at all.

"What do you guys think? It's been two days since the team left, and they haven't met any valuable information. Liu Hongtao frowned, one of the main tasks of their vanguard was to investigate the military situation, but now they did not get any valuable information, which made Liu Hongtao a little disappointed, and he still wanted to probe in the depths and open the way for the army in the rear.

Guan Yu glanced at Liu Hongtao. In fact, Liu Fan gave Liu Hongtao 3,000 troops, and the meaning was already obvious, that is, to let Liu Hongtao go deep into the Shouchun realm to investigate, if it was just to spy on intelligence, only dozens of teams of scouts would be sent. Everyone also knew what Liu Fan was thinking, and he wanted to let the forward army and the garrison of Yangzhou fight. In order to probe the combat effectiveness of the garrison in Yangzhou.

"Captain. My opinion goes deeper. Guan Yu glanced at Liu Hongtao and saw that there was no unhappiness on the other party's face, but looked at Guan Yu with an expectant look: "Captain, it has been a year since we last fought with the garrison in Yangzhou. After that, we didn't have much record of fighting the Yangzhou garrison, after the Yangzhou garrison was re-recruited. With the support of the army of a hundred battles in Dijing and Yizhou, we don't know how much combat strength there is, and the meaning of the lord is obviously to know the current combat effectiveness of the Yangzhou army. ”

"Yes, captain, only by fighting with the Yangzhou garrison can we fully understand the strength of the Yangzhou garrison. In the case of absolute disparity in troops, formulate the most haode battle strategy, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable. Huang Zhong also agrees with this, knowing that the other side can win a hundred battles, and now the new Yangzhou garrison is still a mystery for them, they must fully understand each other, and the most direct way for soldiers is war.

Liu Hongtao nodded and said, "Okay, let's continue to go deeper, looking for an opportunity to fight with the Yangzhou garrison, and try how heavy the other party is." So they can know how fast our knives are. Go, go. ”

The corners of Liu Hongtao's mouth showed a hint of cruelty, and he drove the sitted war horse to lead the team towards the boundary of Shouchun, while the cavalry behind him followed closely behind Liu Hongtao. The tremor caused by three thousand war horses shook the entire territory of Shouchun, and Liu Hongtao had entered Shouchun with his army. Several cavalry units had already arrived.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves resounded throughout the sky, Liu Hongtao galloped on the land of Shouchun with the cavalry, although Yangzhou is a flat river, but the vertical and horizontal water network makes Yangzhou one of the most unsuitable for cavalry battles. But this time the protagonists of both sides of the war were clearly cavalry troops.

"Captain, a cavalry of 20,000 men is coming from ahead of us. "One of the cavalrymen who was currently exploring the path ran back. The war horse that sat down still looked a little panicked, as soon as this cavalry appeared, Ma Chao's many years of experience in cavalry warfare could judge the other party's origin and quantity, so everyone's faces did not have the slightest panic, but showed a trace of joy.

"Captain, it seems that we are surrounded, we have enemy cavalry on all sides, and there are more than 10,000 people. Ma Chao took the dragoon spear in his hand upside down and glanced around coldly, and the war horse that sat down felt this powerful tremor and jumped uneasily, and all the cavalry were trying to control their war horses.

A sneer hung on the corner of Liu Hongtao's mouth, and he took off the long knife hanging on the horse instead, and said with a smile: "It seems that this Yan Baihu is also bloody, although Yangzhou is rich but does not produce horses, these cavalry should be all the cavalry troops in Yan Baihu's hands, and if this team is defeated, Yan Baihu will completely lose the cavalry team." ”

Although the information of Dijing could not be obtained, Liu Fan and others inquired very clearly about the intelligence of Yangzhou, and Liu Fan robbed a batch of war horses from Li Yuanxing before he could form a cavalry division. And Yan Baihu's pipeline to the imperial capital was completely blocked by Liu Fan, and all the supplies given to Yan Baihu by Yun had to pass through Yizhou, and then sent to Yan Baihu by water. This also makes Yan Baihu only have the strength of a cavalry division until now.

"They came just in time, we just happened to try how much strength the garrison in Yangzhou was, let's go, let's go to meet it." Liu Hongtao lifted the reins of the horse, and flew like a team to kill the cavalry team coming from the opposite side, and the five tiger generals followed closely behind, and the cavalry behind him all took off their spears and followed Liu Hongtao to kill the enemy army that ushered in.

"Kill!" The rumbling sound of horses' hooves became the main theme of the battlefield, and when Liu Hongtao appeared in front of the cavalry division in Yangzhou with the team, he almost did not hesitate, raised the spear in his hand and killed the oncoming enemy. And the cavalry of the Yangzhou army also shouted under their respective generals and raised the weapons in their hands to greet them.

"I will win! I am invincible, there is death and no life!" Liu Hongtao raised the long knife in his hand and rushed to the front, and closely behind Liu Hongtao were the five tigers, each of the five tigers revealed a strong murderous aura, the five people were shrouded in a red aura, and the blades in their hands were even more full of murderous aura.

"Kill!: The two black streams of iron finally collided together, as if a stone had suddenly been thrown at the calm sea, and suddenly there were ripples on the calm sea. The long knife in Liu Hongtao's hand flipped over, slashed, and slashed, and several enemies on the opposite side were cut off the horse, and the whole action was clean and neat, and at first glance it was a fierce general on the battlefield.

The five tigers who followed behind him were naturally not to be outdone, and the five of them used their most powerful moves at the same time, Guan Yu's profundity, Zhang Fei's domineering, Zhao Yun's lightness, Huang Zhong's heaviness, and Ma Chao's sharpness. The five of them rode down on their war horses behind Liu Hongtao, and the weapons in their hands were like the judge pen of the god of death, drawing an end to the lives of one enemy after another.

Boom, Guan Yu slashed out, and the powerful blade swept away the surroundings in an instant. Zhang Fei jumped up in the air, the Zhangba snake spear in his hand turned around in his hand, and slammed into the ground, and suddenly the soldiers in the real area were all blasted into the sky by Zhang Fei. Zhao Yun was held by the gentian spear, and the hundred birds and phoenix spears were even more vividly played, and countless cavalrymen had not yet understood what was going on, and there was already an extra gun hole on their necks. Ma Chao's marksmanship shows a kind of kingly overlord, the dragoon spear in Ma Chao's hand swept a famous cavalry into the sky with a strong aura, the dragoon spear in his hand shook rapidly, and all the enemy soldiers who were bombarded into the sky were killed. And Huang Zhong, who was standing in the rear, was a grim reaper, the arrows in his hands were one arrow after another, beaded arrows, heart-piercing arrows, phoenix dancing for nine days, Huang Zhong quickly pulled the bow in his hand, and every time he opened a bow, several enemies died under Huang Zhong's arrows.

"Kill!" Under the leadership of Liu Hongtao and the five tiger generals, the Liu family army penetrated the enemy's formation, and the cavalry on both sides also had their own casualties, and each turned their war horses and rushed to the other side again. The children of the Liu family all went out this time with the determination to die, and this time it was a battle for their reputation, even if they sacrificed their lives. The war knife in Liu Hongtao's hand was raised high, and the soldiers roared and followed their respective commanders to rush to the opponent's formation again, they wanted to use the war knives in their hands to cut off the enemies one by one, and cut off all the enemies in front of them.
