In the early morning, the fields were covered with heavy snow.
Groups of cavalry wearing dark brown fur robes seemed like a dark flood covering the land on both sides of the Huaihe River.
Surrounded by many guards, Wu Chi reined in his horse and stopped on a flat hillock on the south bank, looking at the soldiers and horses crossing the Huaihe River.
Although the Huaihe River is frozen, the temperature in the Hehuai River in winter is much warmer than that in the North. After the Huaihe River is frozen, the frozen layer is not as thick as the Beidixi River.
Wu Chi led the troops on the right south from Yingkou, responsible for cutting off the connection between Chushan and Huainan. Thousands of cavalry stepped on the ice to cross the river at the first time, but also cautiously and in batches.
"General Wuchi! There is a small group of enemy troops near Hudailing. Our soldiers and horses arrived at the foot of Hudailing. We were unprepared and killed twenty or thirty people!" A knight rode his horse and rushed to Pinggang to report.
.
Heavy snow covered the ground, and the sky got brighter earlier than usual. Wu Chi had noticed a small-scale commotion in the south, so he called people to ask what happened in the south.
Although there are many Qianhu under him, and the deputy Qianhu generals command the troops and horses of various ministries and take charge of emergencies in all directions, but as the leader of the right wing, he crossed the Huaihe River in a surprise attack at night.
Even if something unexpected happens, he doesn't dare to be careless.
He may not interfere, but he must be aware of any disturbances in Huangchuan, Gushi, Geyang and other places.
Wuchi asked: "How many enemy troops are there?"
"Seventeen people, quite ferocious." The knight reported.
"..." Wu Chi nodded, indicating that he was aware of the matter, and focused his attention on the large army crossing the Huaihe River.
The first group of 3,000 cavalrymen have generally crossed the Huaihe River. Next, 6,000 armored soldiers will follow and occupy several dilapidated cities on the south bank, cutting off the connection between Chushan and Shouchun.
The combat mission Wu Chi received was to not only prevent the Huainan Army from reinforcing Chushan (Huaishang), but also prevent the Chushan Army from reinforcing Huainan. However, Wu Chi knew very well that he led his right-wing troops to cross the Huaihe River.
Be prepared for the possibility that the Chushan Army might reinforce Shouchun.
Although the size of the elite Chushan Army was much lower than the troops that the Southern Dynasty could mobilize in Huainan.
During the Battle of Ruying, Wu Chi, as the reinforcement general sent by Prince Ping Yanzong, led more than 30,000 cavalrymen under the Eastern Route Army (Prince Ping Yanzong) to participate in the battle. However, he was eventually isolated to the east of Miaowang Valley by flooding and could only
They watched helplessly as Yin Chao, Xiao Qian and other main forces were eaten one by one by the Southern Dynasty with their overwhelming superiority.
This was not only the biggest setback for Chihu since he went south, it could even be said to be the most tragic defeat for Chihu in the past ten years.
Even though most of the casualties were from surrendered troops, the elites of Chihu and various tribes did not suffer any losses.
However, it was precisely because the troops and horses surrendered by the Prince of Zhennan Zong suffered so heavy losses in the Battle of Ruying that the Prince of Zhennan Zong had to greatly speed up the pace of the Tibetan cavalry to adapt to infantry warfare, thus significantly reducing the size of the cavalry.
Wu Chi emerged from the Battle of Ruying, but the shock and touch that this battle brought to him were something he had never experienced in half his life.
This time when he crossed the Huaihe River, his generals all hoped to choose the place to cross the Huaihe River to the east, closer to Shouchun, so that they could win the war. No one had the intention to organize the people to transport a large amount of supplies to the south bank of the Huaihe River.
Build a walled city for defense.
Wu Chi, however, forcibly suppressed the restlessness and eagerness for battle among his generals.
He didn't think that the armies of the four governor's offices in western Beijing could really entangle the Chushan Army this winter.
At this time, Wu Chi still remembered what the Great Khan once told the generals in the southern expedition: Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.
He felt that the current situation was very consistent with this sentence: after experiencing the Battle of Ruying, Quietly blocked the Chushan elite from the Huainan battlefield, which was more meaningful than chasing death and defeat, and beheaded thousands or tens of thousands of Southerners' heads.
The significance is more significant.
…………
…………
The war horses galloped, the spears were like dragons, and the snow light reflected on the bright blades, making each slash and thrust more powerful and fierce.
Xu Fang saw a captive standing on a war horse with his legs sandwiched between his legs, holding a sword in both hands and charging towards him with a sword. Apart from this captive general, who was extremely powerful, several of the captive riders on his left and right were experienced warriors.
His eyes suddenly became sharper at this moment, but his face became calmer. He ignored the random arrows shot from the outside and raised his long spear vertically.
Xu Zang knew that if he could not kill the general as quickly as possible and was entangled by dozens of horsemen in front of him, their trip would definitely be misfortune.
At the foot of Hudailing Mountain, from the ruined temple and the river bend area, three hundreds of cavalry troops entered at dawn. Going north to the Huai River bank, it was even more densely packed, with red cavalrymen crossing the Huai River at night everywhere.
.
They attacked north from the ruined temple first. Although they took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and killed more than twenty soldiers along the way, they also poked a hornet's nest. When they met Shi Qi, who was still sleeping soundly in the woods at the river bend, two to three hundred
The soldiers were alarmed and pursued and intercepted them from all directions. They could only escape to the south in Hudailing.
Although they had arrived at the northern slope of Hudailing at this time, dozens of horsemen had already captured them, and they had no intention of giving up just because the mountains and old forests were in front of them.
Now not only did Xu Pang have to face dozens of elite soldiers alone, but Su Mi and others were also entangled by three or four times the number of soldiers, and there were more than 200 soldiers chasing them from the north on horseback.
When the captive general raised his sword to slash him, Xu Zan roared angrily, as if a bloodthirsty beast had woken up again in his body. He slashed down with the force of his long sword, slashing at the incoming sword with great force | Ma Dadao
Go ahead and behead him.
"Crack!" The long blade and the sharp edge of the big sword collided.
When Xu Teng cut off the captive general in his hand and cut off the horse sword, the long horse blade he held also suffered too many violent impacts today. This time it could no longer hold up and broke from it.
However, the horse blade used by Xu Pang is two feet long. Even if only half of the blade is left, it is still nearly ten feet long together with the pole, which does not affect the horse fighting at all. When using the long blade as a spear, it moves like a poisonous dragon.
The prisoner stabbed him in the chest.
The eight-foot-long horse sword held by the captive general had only six feet of broken blade. The most important thing was that he had used too much force in the sword just now, and the sword was broken. However, his body was not stopped along with the momentum of the war horse. He saw Xu Tan in his hand.
Changsha was completely unaffected by the blade's cut and fracture. He turned the cut into a stab with almost no delay. Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, he had no choice but to abandon his horse and turn over to one side to avoid the sharp edge.
Xu Tan was about to ride his horse over to kill him, but suddenly he was in the air. When he looked down, he saw that the horse was hit by countless arrows. At this moment, it could no longer hold up, and its front legs seemed to be broken.
kneel.
Xu Wen was so busy fighting that he didn't pay any attention to the situation of the horse under his crotch. He was thrown away. He only had time to grab the broken arm and thrust it towards the back of the enemy horse under him. He used this to help him adjust his body balance and he was not directly embarrassed.
He fell in front of dozens of prisoners' swords.
However, the situation he faced at this time was by no means optimistic.
After the fierce battle until now, his physical strength has been squeezed to the extreme. Xu Zan's arms felt numb and numb, and blood seeped out of the arm armor. Now he has lost his horse again and is surrounded by dozens of experienced knights.
, Su Mung and the others were separated from each other and could not protect themselves...
"Roar!"
Xu Zang shouted loudly, but without losing his fighting spirit, he broke off a section of the pole, changed the horse pole into a foot pole, and charged towards Su Mi and others.
Of course, the dozen or so cavalrymen would not rashly attack Xu Tan's front. Not counting those who were caught off guard and killed at dawn, there were more than a dozen experienced warriors during the pursuit. They were killed by the seventeen or eighteen-year-old in front of them.
The young general beheaded his horse.
Such a brave general would never be more than a slap in the face in Chushan. General Qianhu, who was supervising the battle in the rear, had also ordered that he be captured alive or killed at all costs.
All the soldiers and horses followed Xu Zang and moved quickly.
"Whoosh!"
A cold arrow penetrated Xu Zang's unprotected left calf accurately and hard.
Xu Zan's legs had been hit by several arrows before, and he couldn't feel anything while sitting on the horse. Now he was hit by another arrow, and his left leg went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.
Xu Zang knew that he could not charge much further, so he stood still, leaning on a tree, and looked coldly at the surrounding captives.
"Whoosh!" Several more sharp arrows were shot from the side. Hearing the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air, Xu Zan held the arrow in his hand and felt extremely calm. But to his surprise, these sharp arrows were not coming towards him.
, turned his face slightly to one side, and saw that the two horsemen on his left were caught off guard and were knocked off their horses by several sharp arrows shot from the woods to the south.
The leaves had withered away, but more than a hundred armored soldiers armed with bows, crossbows, knives and shields were seen fighting out of the valley behind the woods. Arrows rained like locusts, covering the captive soldiers with accuracy and ruthlessness.
At this moment, the soldiers thought they had been ambushed and dared not fight again. They panicked and fled north on horseback to put some distance between them.
Han Qihu came out with more than a hundred soldiers, and quickly helped Xu Tan and others, who were injured and could hardly stand up, to retreat into Hudailing.
Han Qihu is a descendant of the Han family who was brought into Chushan by Chen Zixiao, Zhang Xiongshan and others. The Tongbai Mountain banditry caused tragic deaths among the Huaiyuan surnames. Although Chen Zixiao returned to Chushan and gained Xu Huai's trust,
It cannot eliminate the gap between the generals who were born in Tongbai Mountain and Chen Zixiao.
Xu Fang was aloof and arrogant when he was young, and he had always looked down upon Han Qihu and other Nantou Han generals. Their relationship with them was usually very bad, but he was suppressed by Xu Huai, Xu Wuqi, Shi Zhen and others. In addition to the occasional fights,
Nothing big has happened yet.
Xu Huai once assigned young Tongbaishan disciples who had little estrangement and hatred to work under Chen Zixiao, hoping to eliminate the estrangement step by step. However, Xu Fang turned out to be a thorn in the side, and was kicked out by Chen Zixiao who could not bear it anymore.
Return to the vanguard.
After the Battle of Ruying, Xu Huai transferred Han Qihu to Luocheng and served as a general under Xu Xin'an.
Xu Zang did not expect that when he was in a desperate situation, Han Qihu would lead his troops to rescue him. He felt awkward and kept silent.
Han Qihu was four or five years older than Xu Tan. Looking at his expression of indignity, he sneered: "Why, do you think I was the one who saved you? Don't be arrogant. I didn't come here specifically to save you. No."
One can predict the future - the Xin'an military envoy saw that the enemy army would cross the river in large numbers in the next two days, so he asked me to lead my troops to ambush nearby to see if there was any chance to frustrate their edge and let you fools destroy us.
A great plan to set up an ambush!”
