Chapter 652 Outside the north of the city are all the cavalry of the Zhenfu Army
Chapter 652
In the middle, the gray-bearded veteran Chen Heng had a stable character and was very cautious in marching and fighting. Therefore, Luo Yi was very relieved to entrust the 20,000 infantry of the Chinese army to him.
After Chen Heng led his army out of the camp, he has been very vigilant. He spread his scouting horses fifteen miles around the army, and also ordered that people be sent back and forth every quarter of an hour to contact the front and rear armies to prepare for any eventuality.
However, when he traveled safely and safely to a place about twenty miles away from Pingshu City, he received news from the scouting horses behind him.
A cavalry force of about ten thousand people was already heading towards Pingshu City, intending to intercept the Youzhou Army's rear army at the foot of Pingshu City. After receiving the news, Chen Hengdang ordered the entire army to stop marching and prepare to turn around.
They also sent out detective horses and rushed to the front army to report to Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou.
He gave the order and ordered the army to start to reorganize. When he returned to the city to reinforce the city, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Well, this was the sixth sense of a veteran general on the battlefield.
"Is there any reward for the scouts sent out to spread out on both sides?" Chen Heng covered his heart, looked to the left and right and yelled.
"General, I just reported back a quarter of an hour ago. No abnormalities were found on either wing." A general next to him quickly replied loudly.
Chen Heng nodded slightly and thought something was wrong. "Don't we have to contact you every quarter of an hour? Why haven't we heard anything yet..."
"General, look over there, aren't you back already?" A soldier raised his hand and pointed to the top of the gentle slope on the left wing.
Chen Heng turned his head and looked over. Several riders appeared on the high slopes several miles away, and soon, they were speeding towards this side.
Seeing the traces of these probing horses, Chen Hengyi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled calmly, but...
Just ten breaths after riding down the high slope, Chen Heng's expression suddenly changed, and his triangular eyes stared in disbelief.
He saw a blood-red flag raised on the high slope, with the three characters Zhenfujun on it, which was particularly eye-catching and dazzling.
Following this, more and more black armor cavalry slowly appeared on the high slope, and gradually, like a tide, they almost covered the entire high slope on the left wing.
After that, mercury began to rush towards this side like water leaking from the ground. Chen Heng was horrified when he saw this scene and immediately ordered the army that was turning to the whole army to gather quickly and put into a defensive formation.
However, facing the iron cavalry of the Suppressing and Fu Army, which was like a stormy sea, and the sound of victory that resounded throughout the whole world.
The infantry of the Youzhou Army, which was still reorganizing to return to Pingshu City, couldn't help but start to panic. Chen Heng saw the infantry that stretched for several miles in front of him, and looked at the infantry that was already less than five miles away.
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen, their faces getting paler...
#####
Outside the Jincheng Palace, a full 50,000 elite infantry and 30,000 elite cavalry are already in full formation. There are still 50,000 defenders in the city. At this moment, the 80,000 elite infantry of the Suppressing Fu Army are already ten miles away.
They formed a military formation and moved slowly but surely towards Jincheng Palace.
Wearing a striking and eye-catching golden helmet, Dou Jiande stood directly under the banner of Daxia, with a solemn expression and no anger. He put his hands behind his back and looked at the slowly advancing Suppression Army.
Seeing the opponent's military formation, Dou Jiande breathed a sigh of relief. The long wait has finally come to an end. It is time for the decisive battle between Daxia Kingdom and Zhenfu Army to decide the winner.
However, the Zhenfu army could have rushed to the gate of Jincheng Palace two days ago, but for some unknown reason, they stayed in a small city a hundred miles south of Jincheng Palace for a full day before starting to move north and south.
Regarding the advance of the Zhenfu Army, Dou Jiande wanted to go as slowly as possible. He had received news from his confidant Wang Cong that Luo Yi had already led his army to leave Pingshu City and was about to compete with the Zhenfu Army cavalry.
I don't know if the outcome of the two sides has been announced yet. If Luo Yi can win, it will be equivalent to the balance of victory tilting towards his side.
No matter how elite the 80,000 infantrymen of the Zhenfu Army were without their cavalry, it would be difficult for them to withstand the repeated attacks of the Xia Kingdom’s cavalry...
"Your Majesty, there is a large-scale cavalry coming from the north. It is still more than ten miles away from the city..." A warning woke up Dou Jiande who was deep in thought.
"But the troops of Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou?" Dou Jiande turned around and asked impatiently.
"The last general has sent scout horses to check, we will know later." Wang Fubao, the general in charge of the north of the city, hurried over to report.
"Let's go, I just want to go to the north of the city to have a look. If General Manager Luo comes with his army, I will meet him face to face." Dou Jiande glanced at the billowing smoke. It would take at least half an hour before he could advance to the town below.
Fujun thought it would be better to go to the north and observe in person.
After getting off the city wall, he jumped on the back of a horse, led a group of his confidants, and galloped towards the north of the city. After a stick of incense, Dou Jiande arrived at the north of the city.
Then he galloped closer and saw that the defenders in the north of the city were in a panic. An ominous premonition began to swirl in the minds of Daxia officials.
"General, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something bad happened. Outside the north of the city, there are all the cavalry of the Fu army. There must be at least 50,000 or 60,000 people..." A lieutenant general rushed down the city with a panic-stricken look. He had no time to salute and headed towards
Dou Jiande shouted loudly.
"What?!" Dou Jiande's face turned pale. When he jumped off the horse, he almost stumbled down the steps. He waved away the men who came to help him and strode towards the city wall.
When they arrived at the top of the city, they saw the black armor flying, accompanied by the stampede of iron hooves, and the rising smoke that covered the sky. The faces of Dou Jiande and the civil and military officials of Daxia became extremely ugly.
"Luo Yi! How dare you bully others!" Dou Jiande's face turned livid with anger, he held the sword at his waist and shouted sternly.
"How is it possible... this requires at least 60,000 to 70,000 cavalry. Could it be that Luo Yi did not engage the Zhenfu army at all and simply escaped?" Liu Heita muttered to himself with a livid face.
"Impossible. According to the news sent by Wang Shilang before, Luo Yi has left Pingshu City and gone south for at least two days. If anything happens, Wang Shilang will definitely send a message to the king." Ling Jing, the prince of the country, shook his head and said.
.
But the army in front of me was so majestic and murderous. It didn't look like it had been involved in a fierce and fierce battle.
The officials of the Xia State were not kept waiting for too long. The news finally came, and the news delivered by Wang Shilang was delivered to Dou Jiande.
Luo Yi's soldiers were divided into three groups, intending to lure the enemy and annihilate them. However, the generals of the Zhenfu Army saw through the plan. The enemy used a small number of cavalry to harass the troops and horses inside and outside Pingshu City to prevent their reinforcements.
The 20,000 infantrymen in the middle were attacked and defeated, 3,000 of them died in battle, and countless people fled. In the end, only 8,000 of the remaining soldiers were picked up and returned to Pingshu City.
As for the front army led by Luo Yi, they were first lured by cavalry to lure the enemy. Luo Yi was furious and led his army to cover up the enemy. They chased them for several miles. Unexpectedly, the enemy also ambushed an iron cavalry and killed them from the flank.
Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, was injured by Yuchi Jingde's horse. Fortunately, he was protected by his own soldiers and escaped with his life.
After that, the army collapsed and fled backward. The Zhenfu Army cavalry, which defeated the Chinese infantry, rushed to encircle the enemy without stopping. In the end, Luo Yi, who was seriously injured, only escaped with his life with more than 5,000 cavalry.
His general Xue Wanjun was injured and captured, and Xue Wanche had no choice but to surrender...
