Soon, Li Luo led a 11,000 yuan army to the vicinity. Why is there only 11,000 yuan? Because there are 10,000 infantry soldiers taken away by Li Jie and others and sneaked into Huanghua's camp.

That's right. According to the information, Huanghua's camp was located ten miles outside the city in a hidden place called Chashuao, where food and supplies from Huang Hua's troops were stored. Huang Hua brought 50,000 people to attack Jianningzhou City, and only 10,000 soldiers and horses remained behind the camp.

Most of the ten thousand left-behind soldiers were still newly-armed soldiers and could definitely be taken down. Huang Hua's camp was occupied and the food and grass was seized, and the morale of the army would be in chaos.

No matter what period, as long as you accurately grasp the information, the battle will be easy. This hall... Zhizhu is in control.

Li Luo personally led 10,000 Han troops, including more than 3,000 cavalry, and the Pingzhang Guardians composed of a thousand Seme people, had more than 4,000 cavalry in the entire army. On the other hand, there were only more than 1,000 cavalry on Huang Hua's side.

Huang Hua was caught off guard by Li Luo. When he stopped siege and re-arranged the military formation, Li Luo's four thousand cavalry had already arrived.

The person who commanded the cavalry was Li Luo's commander of the Pingzhang Mansion Guard. Quertu was a cavalryman with a thousand households and the Mongolian cavalry tactics. This man of Semu has already learned it well, and it is most suitable for him to lead all the cavalry.

The rushing formation of four thousand cavalrymen made the new recruits Huang Hua, who had never seen the world and had not been trained for a short time, suddenly panicked.

Even Huang Hua was a little confident when he saw the appearance of a large group of Yuan army cavalry.

To put it bluntly, although Huang Hua had some skills, he was a grassroots hero. Judging from the fact that he first surrendered to the Song Dynasty and then rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, and now surrendered and rebelled again, this person had no integrity, but was a short-sighted real interest, and belonged to Li Chengdong.

However, even if Li Luo looked down on Huang Hua, he did not want to wipe out all his 50,000 soldiers and horses. Because these soldiers and horses were all Han people.

Li Luo just wanted to fight a defeat and captured the new recruits from Huang Hua. After severely attacking Huang Hua, he drove the other side out of Fujian and forced his main force into the Xianxia Mountains at the junction of Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi.

In this way, Li Luo can get a large number of prisoners and find a way to send them to Haidong. Second, he can win a battle and fool the Yuan court. Third, he can keep Huang Hua, so that he can have the opportunity to harass Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Xi in the future and plant a thunder in advance.

Three birds with one stone.

More importantly, Li Luo can explain to himself that he cannot kill the Han people.

Therefore, in Li Luo's view, this is both a battle and a one-sided acting. However, it is not easy to act without any flaws or leave any handles.

In Cui Xiuning's words, even if Li Luo's treacherousness is not as good as Cao Cao, it is not much worse.

When Li Luo's main force of the central army arrived at the city, Juertu's cavalry had already fought with Huang Hua.

Huang Hua was reluctant to take out the only thousand cavalry to fight Juertu. He was not very good at using cavalry, so he could only put the precious cavalry into the formation and let the infantry formation protect it.

Most of Huang Hua's more than 30,000 new recruits were spearmen, which were used to resist the cavalry of the Yuan army. The Tou Army, as the absolute main force, were swords, shields, and archers.

The 50,000 infantry were divided into five square formations, forming two rank-character formations, Huang Hua's central army was in the middle, and four 10,000 formations were outside.

When Li Luo saw the formation arranged by Huang Hua, he couldn't help but nod.

"Zhongtang, Huang Hua is quite capable, and the arrangement is good." Shang Zhu said, pointing to the other party's military formation.

Cha Yinnan also said, "Zhongtang, Huang Hua's Tou Tuo Army is a salt man, a porter, a hunter, and a miner. He is a brave soldier for several years. He is considered a tough guy."

At this time, the war drums on the battlefield shook the sky, thousands of people shouted, and arrows were like rain. Juertu commanded 4,000 cavalry to surround the two new recruits and ten thousand phalanxes, constantly shooting arrows from close range, without hitting the infantry formation with spears.

The recruits in the front row fell down in rows because they were not armed, and the recruits in the back row were constantly forced to switch to the front row.

This is the famous "peeling tactic". Peeling tactics allow cavalry to cut off the outer layer of the infantry formation by shooting archers layer by layer without hitting the heavily defended spear formation, and bleed continuously until the opponent collapses.

Although Huang Hua's left-wing recruits were becoming more and more messy, they did not collapse. Because the Yuan cavalry was also suffering from casualties, and even suffered heavy casualties, forcing Juertu to distance himself.

Juertu was also a little depressed. Han cavalry was not good. Many people could only barely ride and shoot at the horse, and they were not qualified in terms of archery speed or accurate head. Compared with the Semu cavalry, the difference was not a little bit. If these thousands of cavalry were all Semu cavalry, the enemy's new recruits and ten thousand people would have collapsed.

But now, not only hasn't a single recruit phalanx collapsed, but his cavalry suffered a lot.

The ones who caused casualties to the Yuan army were the archers in the Toutuo Army. They were all archers, shooting farther and the arrow rain was denser.

The second is the stone throwing machine and crossbow arrows in Huang Hua's army. Every time they fired, many Yuan army cavalry were killed and injured.

In less than two quarters of an hour after the war started, although Huang Hua's army suffered more than a thousand casualties, the Yuan army's cavalry also suffered three or four hundred casualties.

Judging from the exchange ratio of cavalry and infantry, the Yuan army did not gain any advantage, and even suffered losses. You should know that Huang Hua's troops were all new recruits who had been trained for less than half a year, and they were on the battlefield for the first time, while the Yuan army suffered not only cavalry but also veterans.

As the Yuan cavalry opened the distance, the two sides stopped fighting.

"Come on! Hurry up and chase the horses! Bring the wounded back!" Li Luo ordered. Once the cavalry was killed and injured, the horses that lost their masters would flee from the battlefield and must be recovered.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is no way to deal with Huang Hua's army with just a few thousand cavalry. But if 10,000 infantry also participated in the war, it would be difficult to fight and win against Huang Hua's 50,000 troops. After all, the difference in strength is too big.

"Officer Pingzhang, I am incompetent!" Feiertu led his horse to Li Luoma and dismounted and apologized.

"Get up, why are you guilty? It's not your fault." Li Luo was a little helpless and felt a little ashamed.

Although the Yuan court equipped the Han army with a small number of cavalry, these Southern cavalry were really not very good. In Li Luo's opinion, they were only stronger than the Japanese cavalry and were comparable to the Goryeo cavalry. Their cavalry skills were very unfamiliar, and they shot arrows at the frequency, strength, and accurate heads...

If you can’t ride and shoot, it’s not possible. Even if Li Luo is a Han Chinese, he has to admit it if he doesn’t want to admit it. He can’t deceive himself, like Bangzi and A San, he fantasizes himself.

But, that's normal.

These Han cavalry, after only a few years of riding on war horses, could they compare to the Mongols who grew up on horseback? It is simply impossible to reach the level of riding and shooting like the Mongols. It is completely based on their own shortcomings and their strengths, which is so stupid.

Li Luo looked up at the scorching sun above his head and smiled.

May in Fujian is already very hot. There is no suspense about this battle.

Huang Hua's army listed five square formations, occupying a large amount of flat land outside the city, and spreading it out for two miles. It seemed that the army was powerful, but when it was sunny, how long would it take for them to last?

"Send an order, the army enters the nearby mountains and forests and finds a place to hide the sun. Our army is here to stare at Huang Hua." Li Luo ordered.

This is the benefit of having cavalry.

The advantage of the cavalry now lies in Li Luo's hands. He fights whenever he wants, and doesn't fight when he doesn't want to fight. He takes the initiative.

Huang Hua is different. His military strength has several times the advantage, but he is very passive.

Originally, Huang Hua felt relieved when he saw the Yuan army's few soldiers, but when he saw the Yuan army hiding from the scorching sun in the woods, he knew that something was wrong. If he disbanded the army at this time, he would be immediately attacked by the Yuan cavalry.

If you take the initiative, the new recruits will be in chaos. Once the Yuan cavalry seized the opportunity, they may collapse.

If the army was kept still, how long could his mother stand in the sun and stand on her head? Moreover, the two thousand yuan army in the city might suddenly leave the city to attack.

This is the sorrow of not having cavalry.

"Keep the formation and withdraw back to the camp!" Half an hour later, seeing that the soldiers on his side were all sweating, while the Yuan army was laughing and laughing under the shade of the trees not far away, Huang Hua could only give this military order helplessly.

"Juetu, Huang Hua is going to withdraw his troops and return to the camp. Follow them and hold them back!" Li Luo ordered.

"Zhe!" Juertu rolled over his horse, led a large group of cavalry roaring out, and rushed towards the Huang Hua army that was slowly retreating.

Huang Huajun had to slow down his speed, maintaining his basic formation, fighting and retreating, and the speed was as slow as a snail. After half an hour, he walked less than two miles away.

This process has damaged thousands of soldiers and horses. Moreover, morale has dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Huang Hua was so angry that he almost vomited blood. I threw away your mother. I had tens of thousands of people, but I was bullied like this by thousands of cavalrymen! It was difficult to retreat, and I couldn't fight, so I couldn't fight.

Don't be too angry!

"Send the order! Prepare the cavalry to attack!" Huang Hua could no longer help but want to use his only precious cavalry. He wanted to lead the cavalry to fight back.

A young staff member quickly grabbed Huang Hua, "Master General! I only have more than a thousand cavalry. If I want to use it in the future, how can I fight against the cavalry of a few thousand yuan? I will definitely lose! And once the cavalry is defeated, the morale will be out of control!"

Huang Hua suddenly calmed down. He took a deep breath and patted the young staff on the shoulder, "No, you guys calm down. You have a flexible mind. Tell me, how can you fight this battle?"

The young man was named Chen Rang, who was a scholar and only defected to Huang Hua a few months ago. However, because he was good at speaking, had good brains and had some strategy, Huang Hua valued it very much.

Chen Rang said, "The Yuan army was powerful, and our army was extremely passive. Now we can only withdraw from the camp first. In this way, the Yuan army would definitely think that our army was afraid and would be careless."

"At night, our army took away all the food and supplies, abandoned the Chashuao camp, retreated from the mountain road, lost equipment all the way, and attracted the Yuan army cavalry to chase after it."

Huang Hua understood and said with a smile, "Good boy, you want to defeat me, a good plan, a good plan! That's it! Well, I will be appointed as a military advisor and counselor of military affairs!"

This is indeed a good strategy. What are the most feared by cavalry? They are most afraid of being ambushed by infantry under unfavorable terrain. In that case, it will probably end up being wiped out by the entire army.

Chen Rang said in surprise, "Thank you for your kindness!"

In this way, Huang Huajun tried his best to maintain his defensive formation and slowly retreated to the camp. Although it was slow, the formation was finally not chaotic, and the Yuan cavalry could not find any opportunity.

Qili, Wuli... are getting closer and closer.

It was almost dusk. The Yuan army cavalry was tired and stopped harassing. Huang Hua also breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, a group of defeated soldiers rushed over from the direction of the camp. When Huang Hua's army saw the emergence of these defeated soldiers, they were immediately in an uproar.

"What's going on? Say!" Huang Hua asked loudly, his body trembling, and his bad premonition was like a poisonous snake that suddenly jumped out of the grass and bit him.

The leader of the defeated soldiers was out of breath and his armor was gone. He said in a crying voice, "Master, the camp, the camp was captured by the Yuan army, and the brothers were killed and fled..."

Huang Hua shook immediately and almost fell down. His head buzzed and his eyes turned black.

That was 100,000 stones of grain, 100,000 feather arrows, and thousands of mules and horses. Now that it fell into the hands of the Yuan army, what did his army eat? What did it use?

He never expected the Yuan army to come so quickly, and he would never expected that the Yuan army would secretly attack his camp as soon as it came. If he had known it, how could he have left only ten thousand troops with weak combat power to guard the camp?

"How many of them are there!" Huang Hua tried hard to calm the panic in his heart and asked in shock and angrily.

The leader of the defeated soldiers said, "There are probably 20,000, all of them are armored elite soldiers."

In order to reduce the blame, he exaggerated the strength of the Yuan army.

Huang Hua closed his eyes in pain. The camp was occupied and the food was taken away. There were Yuan troops in front and behind. It was reported that other Yuan troops were about to arrive. Even if they wanted to retake the camp, it was unrealistic. Even if the Yuan army could not defend, could it be burned with fire?

what to do?

Huang Hua suddenly became in chaos. Just a few days ago, he was still very proud, but today he felt regretful.

Huang Hua looked at the sunset on the west mountain and sighed. If he had given him half a month, he would not have been so passive.

Lost your mother...

Huang Hua, who calmed down, looked at the already panicked recruit army formation and gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Rang, you said! What should I do now!"
