Chapter 276: First Encounter
When the three of them felt that outside Langfu City, what was in front of them was a rolling yellow sand.
It is not right to say that it is yellow sand, because the sound of soldiers and horses neighing from the yellow sand is endless, and occasionally there is a scream of sharp crossbow arrows cutting through the air, accompanied by the screams of those who were hit by the arrows and the wails of countless people before they died.
At this moment, outside Langfu City, the army of the Tiger King had already had a preliminary confrontation with the Great Wei army under Zheng Pingping, the Marquis of Jingping, and Wei Jin, the Nine Emperor Princes, which was a test of the other on both sides.
The number of both sides is similar, but the capture side is cavalry, while the cavalry of the Great Wei army is only a small part, and they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of combat power.
Although this unit is only the vanguard of the Tiger King, from the perspective of the battle situation, the Great Wei army is obviously at a disadvantage, although the shouting is still strong, but it is obviously tired, and even the infantry battle formation has launched a defensive posture, and is preparing to resist the round after round of charging and killing of the captive cavalry.
However, at this moment, the infantry of the Great Wei Army had obviously been professionally trained to deal with the captive cavalry, and at least they were not intimidated by the momentum of the captive cavalry charging in formation. This is the secret of the invincibility of the captives, and countless walled cities were easily flattened by the iron hooves of the captives under this kind of formation charge. Only by overcoming this fear can the infantry of the Great Wei Dynasty have the capital to fight the cavalry.
The sword and shield soldier holding the tower shield was nailed to the front of the battle array, and behind him were several rows of infantry holding long lances, which were half as long as ordinary long lances, and the dense long lances stabbed obliquely from behind the tower shields, which made people feel chilling to look at. Further back there is a dense matrix of archers and crossbowmen, whose crossbows are the sharp weapons for cutting down the cavalry, and from time to time the cavalry is shot under their horses.
"The situation of the Great Wei Army is not good. ”
Although Shang Zhengyu does not understand military affairs, anyone with a discerning eye can see that at this moment, the infantry of the Great Wei Army has been forced to form a formation to defend, although there are still cavalry in the Great Wei Army on the outside to attack and disturb to prevent the cavalry from attacking the infantry battle formation on a large scale, but in the long run, it is the side of the Great Wei Army that suffers after all.
Sure enough, it was only half a pillar of incense time, and the infantry battle array was broken through a corner by the captive cavalry, although it was harmless, but you must know that the embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill, and the most important thing for the survival of the infantry battle array was their integrity, once the integrity was destroyed, the defensive strength of the cavalry would be sharply reduced by several levels.
The Tiger King's leading generals were naturally well versed in this, and several orders were issued immediately, and the entire cavalry was like a shark that smelled blood, and suddenly swarmed towards the gap. The commander seemed to have foreseen the scene of this infantry battle formation torn apart under the iron hooves of his own cavalry, and the corners of his mouth raised a smug smile.
At this critical moment, the gate of Langfu City suddenly opened, and a team of thousands of cavalry of the Great Wei Army immediately came out.
The cavalry wanted to bite hard from the corner of the collapsed infantry battle formation a moment ago, but it didn't work out but killed the enemy halfway, and the charging cavalry was cut off by the Great Wei cavalry led by this young general halfway!
The cavalry in front of them could not advance or retreat, neither could they inflict a substantial impact on the infantry battle array, nor could they retreat, and they immediately fell into a dilemma!
As for the cavalry that was blocked by the Great Wei cavalry, they were already fighting with the Great Wei army at this moment, and the fight was inextricable, where was there still the strength to impact the infantry battle array!
"Prepare to storm, crossbowmen, salvo!"
In the order of the infantry general, with the close cooperation of the sword and shield soldiers in front and the lance infantry behind them, the crisis of the cavalry assault battle formation was resolved at a very small price. The cavalry behind him wanted to continue to charge, but they were shot into a sieve by the dense rain of arrows, and suddenly a crowd turned on their backs!
The young general holds the horse lance in his hand, and if he enters a no-man's land, the horse lance is cut or picked, and the cavalry around him is cut off from the horse one by one, killing the captives with cold hearts.
A cavalryman screamed and charged. He was wearing a chain mail rarely seen in the captive army, wearing a bright silver iron helmet, and two scimitars in his hands collided in front of him.
Everywhere he passed, he provoked the strange screams of excitement from the other captive cavalry, obviously the general of the captive army, and he was a master of a number!
The young general walked up, without dragging the mud and water, first a diagonal stab to the shoulder of this person, and was pushed away by his double knife, who knew that this was just a feint strategy, but the real killing move was a sweep when the young general and this person were wrong!
"General Mu is mighty!"
"General Mu is doing well!"
......
The young general's crisp and neat killing of the enemy general immediately boosted the morale of the Great Wei army. Led by him, the thousand-strong Great Wei cavalry team was like a long dragon, interspersed back and forth in the army of captives, constantly reaping the lives of the captives. At the same time, the infantry battle array advanced in a timely manner, constantly squeezing the living space of the captive cavalry, which instantly made the situation on the captive side precarious!
On the tower of the city gate of Langfu, there stood a row of leading figures in the Great Wei army in the wind, most of them were generals in fine armor, staring at the changes in the battlefield below, and they did not dare to relax at all.
However, these generals could only stand in the second row, which was slightly farther away from the wall, and there were only three people in the first row that was close to the wall.
One of them was dressed in a stainless steel battle armor, the entire breastplate was carved and embellished with silver moire, and the left and right shoulder armors were also made of stainless steel, which was cast into a tiger head shape from a whole piece of fine iron, reflecting the glory of the Dao under the sunlight. A silvery-white helmet, obviously made of the Hundred Xuan technique, was clipped around his waist by him, and one hand was placed under the helmet, which was extremely heroic. But underneath his majesty, there was also a little awe-inspiring inexplicable charm that made everyone around him awe-inspiring, although for some reason.
This person's long hair is simply tied in a bun, fixed at the back of his head with a bridle head, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, eyes like torches, coupled with a slender nose bridge and delicate mouth ~ lips, making him show extraordinary handsomeness, but under this handsomeness, it is a sassy and heroic posture.
Although everything on his body is intimate, the unchanging friendly smile on his face makes people feel like a spring breeze, this smile is like the finishing touch, eliminating his original aura from the superior who is not allowed to enter the living, and instantly shortening the distance between him and the people around him.
The other two people accompanying him on the left and right were the Marquis of Jingping, Zheng Pingping, and the old general Mu Yuntian.
Seeing that the Great Wei army was defeated and retreated under the leadership of that young general, the corners of this person's originally constricted eyebrows were finally soothed a lot, and he whispered: "Okay!"
A simple good word made the old general Mu Yuntian next to him suddenly smile. Zheng Pingping, who was on the side, also congratulated the old general Mu Yuntian, and it could be seen that Jingpinghou was also in a good mood today, and even the sadness on his face that had been almost frozen due to successive defeats during this time was also soothed a lot.
Mu Yuntian immediately bowed down and thanked him respectfully: "This is thanks to His Royal Highness and the support of the Hou Ye, otherwise my Great Wei army will be like a cloud, where can it be Zheng'er's turn to lead the troops to fight." ”
It turned out that this handsome young man was Wei Jin, the prince of the Nine Emperors! No wonder Zheng Pingping, the Marquis of Jingping, was only by his side.
"Old General Mu, Mu Gongzi is brave, I have already seen the demeanor of the old general from him. ”
"General Mu, congratulations, someone has finally inherited your mantle. ”
......
The compliments suddenly sounded, and those who could still stay on the front line of resisting the captives at this moment were all bloody generals, and they never looked down on those flattering tricks, and these people only admired those who dared to fight with the captives with real swords and guns, which is also the reason why they were able to quickly accept Zheng Ai Ping as the commander of Yunzhou, because Zheng Ping Ping was fighting on the front line of resisting the captives army from beginning to end!
