Chapter 264 Cavalry Battle (1)
Li Meng?
When Li Meng and Chen Hai left, Tian Yinke thought of something, but he just couldn't remember where he had heard of Li Meng's name. According to Li Meng's call himself a general, he was probably one of the generals of the Celestial Empire. However, such a veteran has such a high martial arts skills, he cannot have no impression of him?
Tian Yinke, who once had been in the Jinyiwei, did hear Li Meng's name, but since Li Meng had not participated in political affairs for decades and had not left his mansion in Yangzhou City, the Jinyiwei just started to supervise and did not use much information.
When Tian Yinke and others returned to the camp, they originally wanted the young master of Yangcheng and the others to take a break, but an unexpected incident happened again.
The explorer sent by the Left Army rushed back in a hurry.
"Governor... Governor, if the enemy cavalry is coming, you're here." The explorer rushed straight into the camp and shouted.
Tian Yinke, Zhan Shisan, Yangcheng Gongzi, Hu Ben, Liu Daxing, Liu Yidao, Kuangniu, and Liang Shanbo's faces all changed.
It's coming too fast, right?
When several people wanted to ask carefully, they could vaguely feel the vibration of the ground.
"cavalry?"
From this slight vibration alone, it can be concluded that it is a cavalry.
The explorer knelt in front of Tian Yinke and others and said, "Report to the Governor, generals and sir, the enemy cavalry who had attacked our camp before have come here and will attack our camp within a quarter of an hour."
What?
Due to his previous defeat, the war in Gao Chengyi's mind had been completely ignited. Following the direction of Tian Yinke and Zhan Shisan's retreat, you can find a large number of Western Liang army exploration activities.
Gao Chengyi concluded that the Xiliang army was stationed nearby, but if we continued to explore, we might be alarmed. Therefore, Gao Chengyi chose to raid arbitrarily. At this time, the advantage of the vanguard cavalry was suddenly exerted, and the cavalry speed was extremely fast, even the speed of the Xiliang explorer was incomparable.
Knowing that the new cavalry was approaching, this battle was inevitable.
The young master of Yangcheng shouted: "Cabinets get on the horse and dress." You should know that the cavalry of the left and right armies are all heavy cavalry. Usually, these cavalry will not wear heavy iron armor on their bodies like the cold light iron guards.
Therefore, it is the best time to dress at this time. Just before the enemy comes, the dress is finished.
The cold light iron guards and the powerful warriors on the other side have gathered.
The Hu Ben Cavalry said to Tian Yinke and Zhan Shisan on the war horse: "I'm afraid the enemy has already used a chain of iron horses. You can take the troops and horses back one after another, and we will take the support here."
Without breaking Gao Chengyi's Iron Horse Chain, Hu Ben had to give in to the infantry first, otherwise he would only die together. After all, Hu Ben had personally experienced the terrifying nature of the Iron Horse Chain.
"What should I do?" Zhan Shisan looked at Tian Yinke and asked.
Iron Horse Chain? Just as the hidden guest was thinking, he could already see Gao Chengyi's cavalry rushing towards him in a straight line.
"A string of iron horses in a long array?" Seeing the enemy cavalry's arrangement, Tian Yinke had already recognized the formation they used, and could not help but have a flash of inspiration.
He said to Hu Ben and Yangcheng Gongzi: "The left and right armies are arranged in a conical formation, the thicker the better. With one iron chain alone, you cannot drag your 20,000 heavy cavalry."
"No, in this way, our heavy cavalry completely loses its mobility. If you hit them directly, you can fight to the death with them." After hearing Tian Yinke's suggestion, the young master of Yangcheng immediately opposed it. After all, the young master of Yangcheng himself was also right. When the heavy cavalry hits both sides, the heavy cavalry will definitely have a great advantage and a win.
"It's useless. Our heavy cavalry rushed over. Their cavalry would immediately separate, stretch the chains, and knock our heavy cavalry to the ground. They would not be so stupid that they would directly collide with us." The 10,000 heavy cavalry of Hu Ben died under the command of Gao Chengyi's cavalry, so naturally I remember how they were killed.
After Hu Ben said this, the young master Yangcheng immediately had no choice.
After a while of silence, the young master Yangcheng and Hu Ben said in unison: "The cone-shaped rushing forward."
After saying that, Young Master Yangcheng and Hu Ben both laughed.
"Yes, that's it." Tian Yinke thought of using a cone array to resist the other party, but he did not expect that it would be feasible to rush over directly without having to sit and wait for death.
"That's it." Young Master Yangcheng ran into his right cavalry.
Hu Ben also rushed towards his left cavalry to set up a formation.
Seeing the cavalry of the two armies slowly moving, Zhan Shisan turned his head and looked at Tian Yinke: "Then the same sentence, how can we do it?"
At this time, the strong warrior and the Hanguang Iron Guard had gathered behind the two, waiting for their orders.
Tian Yinke looked at the left and right armies that were gradually approaching the enemy cavalry, frowned slightly, and then smiled relievedly and said to Zhan Shisan, "Do you believe me?"
"Brother, if you don't believe me, who do you want me to believe?" Zhan Shisan replied with a smile.
"Well, if you believe me, then let's take a gamble. Your strong warrior moves fast, and you go around the enemy's rear, and I'll advance from here."
Zhan Shisan nodded: "I'll go now."
"No." Seeing that Zhan Shisan was about to mobilize the powerful warrior to leave, Tian Yinke hurriedly stopped him: "It's not the time yet, so we will stand here and do nothing."
"What?" Zhan Shisan, full of doubt, was surprised, but did not ask, because Tian Yinke had said before that he wanted to believe him, so since he chose to believe, there was no need to ask more questions. Zhan Shisan suppressed his doubts, stood beside Tian Yinke, and watched the upcoming cavalry war.
Judging from the number and equipment of both sides alone, the left and right armies of the Governor's Office of the Five Western Army of Xiliang have an absolute advantage, with a total of 40,000 cavalry, and they are all heavy cavalry.
Gao Chengyi's vanguard cavalry had less than 19,000 cavalry, and they were all light cavalry.
If it hadn't been for the incident that 10,000 Hu Ben's cavalry were easily wiped out, the young master of Yangcheng and Hu Ben were confident that they could eat the enemy's cavalry...
Hu Ben waved the weapons in his hand and shouted loudly: "Avenge your dead brothers and kill them."
Kill... The left cavalry burst out with a huge sound of killing.
It also aroused the morale of the Right Army cavalry: "Kill... Kill... Kill..."
As before, Young Master Yangcheng was still standing in the first position in the cone formation, taking the lead, and the Right Army cavalry was more confident about having such a commander who led the way.
Since the young masters of Yangcheng took the lead, Hu Ben stood in the first position without any reason to retreat.
"Cone Formation!" Seeing the two heavy cavalry rushing towards him, Gao Chengyi did not feel the pressure at all, but instead smiled. Gao Chengyi had already guessed the idea of the Western Liang Army.
It is simply delusion to use these two formations to cut off your character-long array.
"What's the movement of the two armies on both sides?" Gao Chengyi could easily deal with the heavy cavalry of Xiliang, but Gao Chengyi was interested in the two elite soldiers in the hands of Tian Yinke and Zhan Shisan.
"Return to the general, there was no movement in the camp, and there seemed to be no intention of retreating."
Gao Chengyi closed his smile: "Does he think that 40,000 heavy cavalry can eat us? Let the men show them what real cavalry is."
"Aowu..." The vanguard cavalry's response voice was also very strange, as if imitating a wolf howl.
Seeing that both sides were about to hit.
At this moment, Gao Chengyi flashed a mysterious smile: "The whole army retreated."
No one expected that the vanguard cavalry would choose to retreat here at a time. Just less than ten horses, the vanguard cavalry directly pulled the reins and twisted the horse's head.
Hu Ben and the Young Master Yangcheng were both stunned. They didn't expect anything to happen. However, if the enemy retreated at such a close distance, the heavy cavalry on his side only needed to speed up their horsepower and directly rush in, and they would definitely kill the enemy without leaving any armor.
"Kill me." Young Master Yangcheng shouted forward with a gun.
The cavalry of the left and right armies were also excited, and the enemy was still frightened by itself and chose to retreat.
"They..." Zhan Shisan couldn't believe it.
"What happened..." Tian Yinke felt uneasy in his heart, and Zhan Shisan also had this feeling.
After all, the bystanders were confused by the authorities. Tian Yinke and Zhan Shisan could see clearly that the enemy would not have chosen to retreat at such a close distance, and there was no sign of panic when retreating. I was afraid that it had planned it.
However, it is impossible to notify Young Master Yangcheng and Hu Ben.
"Something is wrong." As he chased, Hu Ben suddenly burst into cold sweat. This was very different from the situation when he encountered this cavalry before. I remember that this cavalry was brave and good at fighting, and it was impossible for him to retreat so easily.
The crazy bull on the side shouted: "Now is not the time to order the pursuit to stop."
Hu Ben was even more shocked by the shouting of Kuangniu. His cavalry had already run and speeded up. If it suddenly stopped, it would definitely cause his cavalry to collide and trample on each other. At that time...
"Oh no, we're fooled, please inform the young master." As he thought about it, Hu Ben suddenly realized.
"Okay, I'll go there." Kuangniu replied.
After all, when thousands of horses are galloping, the sound of horse hooves is like thunder in the sky. How can a shout be heard alone? Even if it is only three or four horse bodies, it will not be able to hear clearly. Not only can it not hear clearly what it says, but it is also easily blown away by the wind.
"The general has a cavalry moving towards the enemy's right formation."
Hearing his subordinates’ rewards, Gao Chengyi smiled knowingly: “It’s a pity that it’s too late.”
Suddenly, Gao Chengyi grabbed the horse and turned around and shouted: "Kill."
The mount of the vanguard cavalry was waving freely like his left and right arm, and could turn the horse's head and rush towards the Xiliang cavalry while running quickly.
The young master of Yangcheng frowned. Even a fool knew about this situation. The enemy's retreat just now was a guide to lure him into being fooled, but now there is no room for retreat, so he can only bite the bullet and kill him.
Hu Ben turned his head and shouted anxiously: "Mad bull."
The vanguard cavalry did not choose to fight head-on with the left and right armies, but instead rushed into three groups from the middle and sides of the left and right armies.
The crazy bulls among the two armies were at the forefront, facing thousands of vanguard cavalry rushing over.
