Countless torrents gradually gathered together in the night. In the deep darkness, the streams finally converged into a vast ocean. Cavalry, endless cavalry.
General Wang Zhuangyuan of Jiziying Camp is not the number one scholar. He is a crazy man with a lot of brains. When his father named him Zhuangyuan, he certainly did not expect that his son would become a majestic general. His father
There shouldn't be any regrets, even though Wang Zhuangyuan didn't know more than 200 Chinese characters until now.
Wang Zhuangyuan is very tall. If measured according to modern measurements, he should be two meters tall and weigh about 180 kilograms. This is a man as strong as a yak. Look at the 72 kilograms handle in his hand.
The heavy broad-backed machete shows how terrifying this man's arm strength is. There are so many people who can lift seventy-two kilograms. It can be said that a man can do this. But if the heavy broad-backed seventy-two kilograms are combined,
The machete is as weatherproof as a windmill, and there are very few of them.
The first general under the command of Pei Zhan, the governor of the Ding'an Army, was Li Tianfang, who was skilled in military formations and had millions of soldiers in his chest. The first general under Li Tianfang was Wang Zhuangyuan, a general who seemed rude but was actually as meticulous as silk. Kaifeng Guards
The army is 100,000, and the cavalry is 20,000, which is the most elite team among these 100,000 people. Li Tianfang handed over Jizi Camp to Wang Zhuangyuan as an affirmation of this man's ability.
Wang Zhuangyuan joined the army at the age of fourteen. He went through hundreds of battles, large and small, and took the lead in every battle. Now he has directly killed more than hundreds of people, and he has ordered tens of thousands of people to be executed!
The biggest characteristic of Wang Zhuangyuan is that he is cold-blooded!
He never accepted prisoners. Once his opponent was defeated, even if he surrendered, he would still be dead. Wang Zhuangyuan was famous for massacring prisoners. He was already famous when he was under General Han Geng of Zuowuwei.
The murderous devil. When the Great Zhou Dynasty conquered the Tang Dynasty, they successively captured the fourteen states of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Wherever the Zhou army went, it was overwhelming. Wang Zhuangyuan was just a commander of a thousand men under Han Geng. He once led more than 500 cavalry into the Tang army.
, rushing back and forth as if they were in an uninhabited territory, and defeated 4,000 Tang troops with 500 men. In this battle, 2,100 prisoners of war were tied together with ropes and shot to death with random arrows.
In the Battle of Hangzhou, Wang Zhuangyuan was the first to rush to the city. He led three hundred dead soldiers, braved the rain of arrows, climbed to the city of Hangzhou, and chopped down the banner of the Southern Tang Dynasty with one sword. After the city of Hangzhou was defeated, Wang Zhuangyuan led a group of soldiers to the city.
Thousands of cavalrymen broke into the prisoner camp and massacred more than 5,000 unarmed Tang soldiers. Because he killed the prisoners, he was supposed to be promoted but was only demoted. In the Battle of Hangzhou, he played the most important role, but after the war he still remained
Still a captain.
But Wang Zhuangyuan didn't care about this, and he became addicted to killing prisoners. Later, he followed General Zuo Wuwei Han Geng to suppress bandits in Shouzhou. He faced Yang Yishan, the famous unbeatable bandit leader on the Green Forest Road. Yang Yishan gathered hundreds of thousands of people,
However, they were killed by the 20,000 elite Zuowu Guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Wang Zhuangyuan, who had been promoted to the rank of general, was the most eye-catching in this battle. He was not the first to rush into the enemy's formation, but also killed and captured. Yang Yishan's green forest troops surrendered no less.
Sixty thousand. When Han Geng led his army to pursue the remnants of Yang Yishan, Wang Zhuangyuan actually ordered that all the more than 60,000 prisoners be killed!
This time, everyone was shocked!
Chai Rong was furious and wanted to kill him to enforce military law. Han Geng used his military exploits to annihilate Yang Yishan's bandits in exchange for his life, but he was demoted to civilian status and kicked out of the army. Later, Pei Zhan was recognized as Ding'an.
After the military governor, Li Tianfang sent people to find Wang Zhuangyuan and asked him to train the newly formed cavalry. It must be said that Wang Zhuangyuan was very good at training troops and fighting. All the cavalry under his command were crazy, as if they were infected.
Like his virus.
In every battle, Wang Zhuangyuan led the cavalry to the front, still killing people like crazy. When facing Zhao Tieguai's Chengde Army in Huazhou, the biggest victory the Ding'an Army achieved was when this man led a thousand men.
The armored cavalry went straight to the German center and tore a hole into the German center. They chased Zhao Tieguai for five miles and returned. When he came back, he had hundreds of arrows cut out of his armor. If it weren't for the excellent armor,
, he had been shot to death by random arrows a long time ago. This man seemed not to know what it meant to be afraid of death. As soon as he went to the battlefield and saw blood, he would go crazy like a ferocious beast.
Perhaps his biggest regret was that Zhao Tieguai did not die in his hands.
This time Li Tianfang collected all the war horses in Kaifeng City and put together 32,000 cavalry and handed them over to him. The purpose was to use his bravery to lead the team, raid the Han army camp, and defeat in one fell swoop all the troops who had not fought since entering the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The invincible King of Han Liu Ling! This is a great honor, an opportunity that a professional soldier dreams of! Who is Liu Ling? He is the invincible existence known as the undefeated war king! If you kill Liu Ling, even if you can't kill him, as long as you
Defeat him and be proud!
Using 30,000 cavalry to surprise 50,000 unprepared infantry has a great chance of winning.
Wang Zhuangyuan is an extremely conceited person. He does not think that Liu Ling is really as unparalleled as the legend says. He knows that Liu Ling, the king of Han Dynasty, is good at using cavalry. When Ouyang Zhuan of the Han Dynasty rebelled, Liu Ling used three of the 200,000 rebels.
Thousands of cavalrymen rushed to pieces. Wang Zhuangyuan knew that those so-called rebels were just a group of farmers with hoes and sticks, with no fighting power at all. If it were him, he would have led three thousand well-equipped cavalrymen.
can do this.
Compared with Liu Ling's reputation of being undefeated in a hundred battles, what he appreciated more about Liu Ling was his behavior in the Battle of Yuzhou, when Liu Ling beheaded 8,000 Zhou army captives under an order. In his opinion, this was
The posture that a winner should have. Although all those killed were his robes, he had no anger in his heart. In his opinion, executing all the prisoners was a very majestic, domineering and wonderful thing, and he never tired of it.
.
Since joining the army, he has been dealing with cavalry. Now, he has reached the pinnacle of leading troops in combat so far. There are 30,000 cavalry. What a huge force! He firmly believes that with these 30,000 cavalry,
In hand, let alone the 50,000 infantry of the Han army, even if there are 150,000, he will definitely win!
After leading the cavalry out of Kaifeng, Wang Zhuangyuan rushed to Zhengzhou day and night. Wu Zilai left the city in person to work for the army, but Wang Zhuangyuan ignored him. After replenishing supplies, he gave an order and the army continued to march. They marched another hundred miles.
He then ordered the army to rest temporarily. Marching continuously day and night, the soldiers suffered a great loss of physical strength and the horses were also very tired. During the two hundred and fifty miles of rapid march from Kaifeng to here, thousands of cavalry fell behind. But he didn't care, in his opinion
Those who are left behind are trash, and it is not a pity to abandon them.
This place is less than fifty miles away from Laihe County, and it is exactly the fifth day since Li Shan went to Zhengzhou to meet Wu Zilai. It was noon, and the soldiers were tired and exhausted. Wang Zhuangyuan ordered the army to dismount and rest, eat and feed the horses to replenish their strength. Li Shan
In this huge cavalry team, he felt the pain of rapid march for the first time. And the reason why he did not fall behind and insisted on persisting till now is because he was tied to the horse and ran all the way under the order of Wang Zhuangyuan. Along the way,
The jolting made his internal organs feel uncomfortable. He kept vomiting along the way, and finally there was nothing left to vomit.
With a pale face, Li Shan was carried by two soldiers and thrown at Wang Zhuangyuan's feet. Wang Zhuangyuan, who had a premonition that he was about to become famous all over the world, was very tired, but his spirit was very high.
"Liu Ling's Han army is indeed not stationed in Laihe County?"
Wang Zhuangyuan asked loudly.
Li Shan was as weak as a plucked hen, and his chicken wings were removed and his chicken thighs were broken. Every part of his body hurt, and he lay limply on the ground as if falling apart. Li Shan gulped at first.
After taking two breaths of air, he felt a little better in his empty stomach before he said feebly: "Go back... back to the general, Laihe County is too small and can't station more than 50,000 troops. And... and Liu Ling, in order to express his gratitude,
With hypocritical kindness, he promised the gentry and common people in Laihe County that the Han army would not enter Laihe County. The grassroots people... the grassroots people saw with their own eyes that the Han army was camped about five miles west of Laihe County."
Wang Zhuangyuan smiled and said, "You have met Liu Ling. How does he like this person?"
Li Shan was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Despicable, shameless, treacherous, hypocritical, and worthless! This man is a great treacherous and evil man. If he falls into the hands of ordinary people, he will be cut into pieces!"
Wang Zhuangyuan put away his smile and said coldly: "It's up to you?"
He snorted coldly: "I'm afraid you were so frightened that you peed your pants when you saw Liu Ling's army!"
Li Shan smiled sarcastically and did not dare to answer.
Wang Zhuangyuan said word for word: "Don't say these flattering words in front of me. If you can only say these, I will order you to be tied up hand and foot and dragged behind the horse. I guarantee that after the fifty-mile journey to Laihe County,
You don’t even have a bone left! Tell me carefully how the Han army camped, what the terrain was like, and how many cavalry there were!”
Li Shan's face changed color with fright, his heartbeat quickened, he forced himself to kneel down and kowtowed. After a lot of searching, he told all the information he remembered. When Wang Zhuangyuan heard that the place where Liu Ling's army was stationed was a vast plain, he inadvertently said
Put on a confident smile.
"Divide into five teams of scouts, with thirty people in each team to go to Laihe County to find out the enemy's situation!"
Wang Zhuangyuan issued the first order.
"Order the army to rest, set up rangers, and tell the soldiers to sleep well and eat before dark!"
The second way.
He grinned, as if he saw victory waving to him. 30,000 cavalry attacked 50,000 infantry at night. Why should he not win this battle? He could even see tens of thousands of Han prisoners of war kneeling on the ground,
He lowered his head, exposed the back of his neck, and trembled with fear like a frightened kitten or puppy. And he held a butcher knife on the back of the Han army's neck, ready to attack. (Not finished yet.
