Chapter 332 Iron Cavalry(1/2)
Life is always full of surprises or shocks.
War is even more so.
Deng Ai kept hiding him, and Yang Zheng's heart couldn't let go.
Instead, he came out and all the hidden dangers were gone.
It seems that the enemy has the opportunity to attack, but in fact, the biggest threat to our side has been eliminated.
"That's all." Yang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just an offensive and defensive battle. This kind of weather is good for defense but not good for offense.
Moreover, his fortress is strong enough and his soldiers are absolutely elite.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Cries of killing rang out from the southern and eastern camps.
Yang Zheng even heard someone's laughter, "Seventy thousand, seventy thousand enemies, go to battle! Go to battle! Brothers, make a contribution today!"
The enthusiastic voice instantly spread throughout the camp.
Yang Zheng's nervousness also relaxed.
The Guards Battalion has experienced hundreds of battles, and today's scene is nothing more than this.
Moreover, Yang Zheng still has enough power to turn the tables. Once Guo Huai and Deng Ai's attacks are tired, Yang Zheng's cavalry will roll down, and Guo Huai and Deng Ai will have to answer at least one of them.
At this time, Du Yu and Wei Guan both bowed in front of Yang Zheng's horse and said, "General!"
The serious and excited tone of the two people made Yang Zheng stunned for a while.
They looked at each other. Wei Guan, who was older, spoke first: "Guo Huai and Deng Ai are coming in large numbers. The east bank is unprepared. If the general attacks now, he will surely gain something."
Du Yu nodded in agreement, "Our army's camp was left by Ambassador Zhang. It is extremely strong and has the help of heavy snow. With only ten thousand people, our subordinates can resist Guo Huai and Deng Ai's hundred thousand people! Please send troops to Hedong quickly, general."
!”
The Zhang Shijun he mentioned was Zhang Ji, the father of Zhang Ji.
During his tenure, he repeatedly destroyed the Qiang and Hu, built fortifications, and pacified the people. Yang Fu, Hu Zun and others were all promoted by him.
However, a person with such meritorious deeds was expelled from three tribes by Sima Shi.
It's as if there is some kind of providence somewhere.
The fortifications built by Zhang Ji happened to be used by Yang Zheng to resist the minions of the Sima family.
Yang Zheng was shocked. Now was indeed a great opportunity. Guo Huai and Deng Ai were attacking with several times more troops. He never thought that he still had the strength to counterattack.
Soldiers are deceitful.
Those who are good at attacking cannot stick to the rules.
If someone else was defending, Yang Zheng would have difficulty making a decision. After all, if the west bank camp was lost, his military strength would also be gone. But Du Yu is definitely worthy of Yang Zheng's expectations.
These loyal and brave personal soldiers and government soldiers are also worth looking forward to.
"Yes!" Yang Zheng said nothing nonsense and turned the horse's head, "The opportunities for victory and defeat are all here, Yuan Kai will stop them for me!"
You hit yours, I'll hit mine!
"Wei!" Du Yu handed over his hand.
Just in case, Yang Zheng also left Zhou Fang's two thousand cavalry behind for rescue purposes.
"All armies, follow me to capture Guo Huai!" Yang Zheng roared.
"Kill!" More than five thousand cavalry shouted in unison.
Yang Zheng stopped looking at the battlefield behind him and looked towards the dark front. Wu Yu raised his front hooves and shot out like an arrow.
More than 10,000 war horses then rose up and rushed down the lower reaches of the Yellow River.
The cold wind whistled in my ears, and the heavy snow fell silently.
The darkness seemed endless.
The sound of fighting behind him became more and more distant.
It was not enough for Deng Ai to stop Guo Huai. If he could not defeat Guo Huai during this battle, his military might would be hard to gain.
After bypassing the battlefield for more than 20 miles, Yang Zheng led his cavalry to cross the river.
However, murderous intentions are hidden everywhere in the darkness.
There are always some places in the fast-flowing Yellow River that are not frozen solid and have uneven thickness. Several heavy horsemen fell into the ice hole with a "kacha" sound. Without even a scream, the people and horses disappeared into the darkness and were frozen by the ice.
The river below is rushing to nowhere.
The war horse was frightened for a while.
At this moment, there is no time for mercy.
Yang Zheng was surprised that there was no wave in his heart.
That is a disregard for death and one's own cold-blooded rationality.
For every moment of delay here, ten times and a hundred times more blood will be shed in the rear camp.
If kindness does not lead the army, sacrifice will be inevitable.
Fortunately, it was freezing cold and most of the river ice was enough to bear the weight of the cavalry.
The holes in the river did not cause the river to collapse.
Only when he set foot on the land of Hedong did Yang Zheng feel at ease.
Looking back, the morale of the cavalrymen has not been affected.
"Go forward!" Yang Zheng raised his long spear.
Karasuba slowly moved forward.
Tens of thousands of horse hooves trampled on the ground, and the cold wind coming down from the desert whistled crazily in my ears.
The Yongliang military camp is right in front of the hustle and bustle.
Getting closer.
Call——
Meng Fei led the army and drove the horses forward, followed by Qingqi.
Yang Zheng, however, led his heavy cavalry to gradually stop.
Amidst the screams of war horses, the antlers and fences on the north side of the Yongliang army were broken open.
"Change horses." Yang Zheng gave the order, and more than 1,300 heavy cavalry were changed to armored horses.
Yang Zheng also replaced Wu Yu and rode on an armored horse.
"Victory or defeat depends on this!"
"Fight to the death!"
The iron hooves moved, and the earth trembled together.
Liu Heng was in front, Lin Sen, and Luo Hu were on the left and right, protecting Yang Zheng in the middle, forming a cone-shaped formation and rushing towards the Yongliang army camp.
"Hey!" A loud shout came from the front, and countless spears were swept away by Liu Heng's mace.
Guo Huai devoted all his energy to attacking the west bank. In his haste, the enemy obviously failed to organize an effective defense.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
A few scattered spears obviously couldn't stop Yang Zheng's iron hoofs.
More than 1,300 iron beasts crashed into the enemy formation without any resistance, and the war horses neighed loudly.
There was a puff of blood on the long branch.
The Yongliang army was indeed brave. They brandished their swords and tried to stop them with their flesh and blood.
But Yang Zheng's cavalry are no longer ordinary cavalry.
With high saddles and double stirrups, strong armor and sharp soldiers, long spears and short crossbows, they can kill both near and far!
Many soldiers held long spears in one hand and held crossbows in the other, shooting at will.
The terrifying combat power of the armored cavalry was completely released at this moment. Whether it was people or camps in front of them, they were all smashed, trampled, and pierced like paper lakes...
Wherever the heavy cavalry passed, there were screams of terror and despair.
Yang Zheng's body was soon covered with warm blood, which quickly cooled down and was gradually frozen into blood ice by the cold wind.
Naturally, heavy cavalry is not invincible. Famous generals in history have various methods to defeat them.
But Yang Zheng was calculated mentally and unintentionally, just to catch Guo Huai off guard!
There was a sudden chaos in the Yongliang military camp, with ragged Qiang and Hus running away with their heads in their arms, and the Yongliang army also threw down their weapons and fled.
"Kill!" At this time, Meng Hui led thousands of knights to charge into the camp from the east.
To be continued...
