Chapter 355 The momentum of the Shenwu Army!
After Niu Gao was ordered to lead three thousand cavalry, Yue Fei himself led the remaining three thousand, divided his troops into two groups, and rushed towards Liu Lin.
At this time, Liu Lin had no idea that his nightmare was about to come.
Niugao launched his troops on February 12th, and that afternoon, like a sharp sword, it pierced the Raoyang puppet Qi army.
Liu Lin made a fatal mistake. He copied the tactics of war mechanically.
He spread nets in all directions and sent the army south. Although the armies of all parties supported each other, the army was not in a state of defending the city, but was marching and defending at the same time.
This places very high demands on the military.
Niu Gao is known for his bravery. If you think about it, he can carry hundreds of kilograms of things as if he were on the ground.
Even if it is an exaggeration, more than two hundred kilograms is not a big problem.
He held a double mace and led the way. The Shenwu Army cavalry who had been training hard in daily life were all the best among the best. When they followed Niu Gao towards the Raoyang Puppet Qi Army.
Rao Yang's puppet Qi army had no counterattack capability at all, and was like paper.
The Shenwu Army held sharp long knives, which were fixed and wrapped around their hands with ropes. This was to prevent the cavalry from falling out due to fatigue from constant slashing when charging.
This was also the tactic Yue Fei adopted after he sent his scouts to inspect Liu Lin's troops.
There is no other reason for this, because the armor wearing rate of Liu Lin's troops is very low. Even if there are some wearing armor, there are none wearing heavy armor.
Therefore, there is no need for heavy armor-piercing weapons at all. Using light long swords can reduce the cavalry's load a lot and improve combat efficiency.
It was under this circumstance that the puppet Qi army in Raoyang quickly collapsed. After Niu Gao beheaded the leader, he did not stop in Raoyang, but rode the light of spring dusk toward Hengshui in the south.
When sending Yue Fei to the north, Zhao Ning added three horses to each cavalry of the Shenwu Army, resulting in a total of 6,000 cavalry, but equipped with 18,000 horses.
Under this configuration, Niugao can travel south quickly without stopping.
If you want to stop, it is also a short rest on the way.
Moreover, in order to prolong the war, one person in the Shenwu Army only brought some bread and water, which was enough for about ten days.
This means that the war will end within ten days!
This time seemed very urgent, but after the fight, the Shenwu Army was surprised to find: Damn it, it doesn’t take ten days!
Naturally, it didn't take ten days. Niu Gao's army was like a rolling torrent going south, and Yue Fei's cavalry was like a startling rainbow.
In the next four days, two groups of troops, from Shenzhou to Jizhou, penetrated the two hundred miles of puppet Qi army's defense.
If I could describe it in one word, it would be: overwhelming!
If I had to add one more word, it would be: destroy everything!
Liu Lin's men and horses were all stunned. They couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all, and they had no idea where such a divine weapon suddenly came from!
In these four days, Niu Gao's troops advanced to Nangong County.
Sixty miles southeast of Nangong County is Qinghe County, the same Qinghe County where Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian were located in "Water Margin".
Yue Fei's troops reached Wuyi County, and Qinghe County was also located sixty miles southwest of Wuyi County.
The two cavalrymen were like two sharp swords. Wherever these two swords passed, they were frightened.
At this time, Liu Lin had been staying in Qinghe County for two days. He was blocked here by Chen Que's 20,000 troops. Liu Lin was very ready to swallow up Chen Que's troops.
But he didn't know yet that the so-called net had been torn to pieces by the Shenwu Army.
Early in the morning on February 17, Yue Fei took the lead in arriving at Qinghe County from Wuyi County and appeared in the rear of Liu Lin's army.
The tranquility of the morning was broken.
Liu Lin's nightmare also began.
Yue Fei didn't hesitate at all, and the whole army attacked Liu Lin's main force with murderous intent.
Liu Lin's main force had 90,000 troops.
Among them are also the 30,000 main force of the Shenzhou thief Zhang Huaizhi, the 30,000 main force of the Qizhou thief Li San'er, and Liu Lin's own 30,000 main force.
None of these three people knew that all the troops they had arranged in the rear had collapsed.
This is the situation where cavalry attacks infantry over long distances.
This is a dimensionality reduction attack.
This is how the Jin army's kidnapper horses defeated the Song army.
The mobility of the Guaizima can be described as terrifying. Once they entered the North China Plain, they were like ghosts holding scythes, stalking and harvesting the Song army.
The first time this tactic appeared in Chinese history was when Wei Qing made a roundabout way deep into the Holy Land of Dragon City of the Huns.
Later, a young man named Huo Qubing took it to the extreme. The glory left behind will always be engraved in the sky of Chinese history, and a word called "champion" was born.
At this time, Yue Fei personally led the troops and charged personally, pouring into the enemy camp like a roaring flood.
Once inside, all obstacles were thrown away.
Liu Lin woke up from his sleep: "What happened!"
"Your Highness, the enemy is attacking the camp!"
Liu Lin's face turned pale: "Isn't the enemy in the south? Where do the enemies from the north come from?"
Xu Qingchen hurried over and shouted: "Your Highness, run quickly, the enemy is coming!"
Liu Lin didn't even put on his pants, so he turned around and ran away.
At this moment, screams and begging for mercy were everywhere in his ears, and the scene was completely chaotic.
His mind went blank, and fear filled his body, wrapping him tightly.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it seems like the ground is shaking.
He was so frightened that his legs weakened and he collapsed on the ground. Then he used his hands together and hurriedly crawled forward.
The torrent of iron tools behind has covered it layer by layer.
Liu Lin saw a Shenwu Army soldier slashing at a man's neck with a knife. The man couldn't run away, and his head instantly shot up into the sky, and then rolled to the ground several times.
After a closer look, it turned out to be the head of Shenzhou thief Zhang Huaizhi!
Zhang Huaizhi was looking at himself with wide eyes and fear, as if asking for help.
The headless body on one side knelt on the ground first, and then fell down. A large pool of blood instantly flowed out from the neck, staining the depression red.
He remembered that last night he drank with Zhang Huaizhi and Li Saner and watched women dance.
I never expected that in just one night, the situation would turn upside down.
In the end what happened?
Where did so many cavalry come from?
how so!
Liu Lin felt a chill on his back. He turned around suddenly and saw a Shenwu Army rushing towards him with great momentum. He quickly shouted: "I am the Crown Prince of Da Qi. Don't kill me. Keep me for great use..."
His voice was drowned in the roar of iron hoofs, and the soldier quickly slashed with his sword, not on his neck, but on his temple.
Huge force poured into the long sword, as if a gust of wind had lifted up Liu Lin's skull. With his brains flying, the cavalryman leapt past Liu Lin.
