Chapter 149 Red Flame Rising and Falling Flowers (1)
There is a small city called Xinshui County in Hefu County. The city is not high and it is not a dangerous pass, so there are not many defenders in the city.
A captain of the Fuzhou garrison was sitting leisurely in the barracks, swinging his legs, drinking wine, and was very comfortable. Looking closely at his face, it was clear that this person was scared away by Qian Zimo from the Shanzi Camp a few days ago.
The cavalry commander.
While he was leisurely, a soldier trotted in from outside the camp gate and shouted: "General, there is a group of more than a hundred Liangzhou scouts wandering outside the city."
The captain was stunned when he heard this. He hurriedly put down his wine glass, wiped the drops of wine from his mouth and asked, "What? Liangzhou scouts? Are they so deep here? There are still only a hundred riders?"
"Yes!" The soldier who reported the news nodded confidently.
"How audacious!" The captain slammed the table angrily: "Gather all the cavalry and follow me out of the city to destroy this enemy force!"
"No!" The messenger who received the military order hurriedly ran out.
This commander of a thousand soldiers has been very depressed since he was shouted down by Qian Zimo near Lingzhou. He felt that he was embarrassed in front of his subordinates. A thousand soldiers fled without fighting when facing hundreds of people. If word spread, he would be punished.
Other captain jokes.
So he was just holding back his anger, and now more than a hundred Liangzhou scouts came to his door. He wanted to eat whatever he wanted to earn some face.
The Liangzhou scout was wandering outside the city of Xinshui County, walking around the city wall, pointing his finger from time to time, looking fearless, with these two words written on his face: Arrogant!
"Crunch!"
Just as everyone was stopping, the city gate of Xinshui County suddenly opened, and the captain appeared with a scimitar in his hand. There were nearly a thousand Fuzhou cavalry behind him. Almost all the cavalry in the city were pulled out by him.
There were only a few hundred infantry left in the city to defend the city.
"Kill them!" the captain roared, waving his saber, and after speaking, he rushed towards the Liangzhou scouts.
When the Liangzhou scout saw an enemy force ten times his own rushing out, he seemed a little panicked and quickly turned his horse around in an attempt to escape from the battlefield.
"Want to run away? It's not that easy!" With a ferocious smile on his face, the captain chased after him. The thousand cavalry behind him also showed off their power and ran forward desperately. These military achievements of a hundred heads were given to them in vain.
Yes, everyone wants a piece of the pie.
The two sides were chasing each other for four or five miles, and they were about to catch up with the Liangzhou scouts. When passing by a dense forest, a wave of arrows suddenly shot out from the forest, and fell directly into the ranks of the Fuzhou cavalry.
middle.
Immediately, dozens of cavalry fell off their horses, and the captain turned his head to look at the dense forest with a blank look on his face. He saw a group of black armored cavalry pouring out from it, moving very fast, everyone bent their bows and nocked arrows, and fired another wave of arrows.
, dozens more riders fell to the ground, and the arrows were very accurate.
"Damn it! I've fallen into a trap! Get out!" Seeing such a posture, the commander instantly understood that the hundreds of mounted scouts in front were the bait to lure him out, and roared loudly.
The black-armored cavalry surged out of the dense forest, and the leader was clearly Ling Zhen, the commander of Qingyu Camp, with a hint of ridicule on his face.
Three thousand light feather cavalry broke up the queue of Fuzhou cavalry from the side. Ling Zhen raised his sword and killed two Fuzhou soldiers in a row. He then followed the commander who turned around and ran wildly without any hurry.
Then kill him.
With just one encounter, the queue of more than a thousand riders in Fuzhou was rushed to pieces, and more than half of them were killed or injured in an instant. The dead soldiers had a look of unwillingness on their faces. With such fighting power, the captain was so frightened that he was scared to death, so he turned around and headed towards
Rush to Xinshui County.
Ling Zhen did not stop the commander from escaping, but followed him towards Xinshuicheng.
The infantry left behind on the city tower were stunned. In the blink of an eye, the identities of hunter and prey were exchanged. Seeing the cavalry quickly fleeing towards Xinshui County, a centurion guarding the city looked very anxious. Liangzhou
The cavalry followed closely behind their own ranks, and there was no gap between the two sides. It was impossible to close the city gate. Wasn't this letting the Liangzhou cavalry into the city in vain?
The captain couldn't care less at the moment. He rushed into Xinshuicheng desperately and was about to turn around and shout angrily to close the door.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow hit him directly in the chest, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, he fell off his horse and fell to the ground dead.
Ling Zhen behind him put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and led three thousand Qingyu Camp soldiers directly into the city. Many screams suddenly sounded in the city, and the face of the centurion who defended the city was full of despair.
After a long time, Ling Zhen led Qingyu Camp and ran out of Xinshui County at full speed. He moved his eyes to the city, only to find that all the more than a thousand soldiers sent by King Fu were dead. The city was filled with silence, and the people did not dare to leave their houses.
Half a step, for fear of being killed by a fish in the pond.
Unexpectedly, after Chu Yucheng sent out troops, he did not directly attack Hefu City. Instead, he divided his troops into multiple groups and attacked other cities in Hefu County on a large scale. In just three days, he won six battles and six victories, wiping out nearly ten thousand enemies.
The defenders of the six cities died on the battlefield, and even the garrison was wiped out. For a time, the entire Hefu County was in a state of panic, and everyone was too scared to leave the city.
The news that Hefu County had received a large-scale attack instantly spread throughout the Fuzhou army and also reached the ears of Zhou Weiran stationed in Donghai.
After turning Hefu County into a pot of porridge, the cavalry armies from all walks of life in Liangzhou did not stop at all and gathered towards Hefucheng. The army was stationed outside the east gate of Hefucheng.
After receiving Chenyue's letter, even the King of Wu, who had always defended the city, gritted his teeth and sent 20,000 troops to station at the west gate of Hefucheng. Together with the Liangzhou military camp, they surrounded Hefucheng from the east and west.
, echoing each other from a distance.
King Fu Zhou Tongfu climbed up the tower with the support of his adopted son Ouyang Jing, and frowned as he looked at the tens of thousands of Liangzhou cavalry in formation outside the pass. Standing behind them was an old acquaintance who had finally escaped from the mausoleum.
Xiao Qiu escaped from Zhoucheng.
"So many? Liangzhou's entire army has been wiped out?" King Fu was a little surprised. He had been preparing to send troops to attack Lingzhou in the past few days, but he didn't expect that the Liangzhou army was the first to attack Lingzhou.
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Qiu, who was behind him, bowed and replied: "According to the reports from various cities, these cavalry troops are quite powerful and can be concluded to be the main force of Liangzhou. Within three days, half of the city's defenders in the county were defeated.
They cleared it!”
Ouyang Jingxu squinted his eyes and said nothing. He looked up at the soldiers of the Liangzhou Brigade arrayed outside the pass, with murderous intent surging in his eyes.
Zhou Tongfu seemed to notice the look in his adopted son's eyes, and said with a smile: "What? Are your hands itchy?"
Ouyang Jing made no secret of his fighting spirit. He nodded and said, "I have heard for a long time that the Liangzhou Cavalry is very powerful. Unfortunately, we have never had a chance to fight. I don't know how the Blood Devouring Guards compare to me."
"Haha! Go!" Zhou Tongfu waved his hand. He just wanted to see with his own eyes the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou Cavalry.
