At this moment on the battlefield, Yuma Heavy Cavalry has already become the absolute protagonist. Whether it is the sword and shield soldiers of Wei or the Korean cavalry, they are all overshadowed by the glory of Yuma Heavy Cavalry at this moment.
"This cavalry army...is the Yuma Army?"
Tens of thousands of Wei soldiers looked at the Yuma Cavalry as a friendly force in the distance in horror, watching the latter rampage on the battlefield, invincible.
Lances, swords, flying arrows, nothing can hinder the progress of Yuma's cavalry. Any enemy that blocks the front of Yuma's cavalry will be crushed to pieces!
"Hey, hey, hey, is that too strong?"
Zou Xin, the general of the second battalion of the Yanling Army, looked blankly at Youma Chongqi who was leaving.
Just now, Zou Xin received an order from Sun Shuke, the frontline commander of this battle, to lead the infantry to attack from the west flank of the battlefield, cooperating with Youma's heavy cavalry to advance.
It can be said that Zou Xin has the most direct experience of the power of Yuma's heavy cavalry, because he personally watched a cavalry of several thousand people (Zhangwu Army) destroyed under the iron hoofs of Yuma's heavy cavalry.
Well, during the Shangshui Youma period, a certain King Su personally organized the Wei Cavalry Army and had high hopes for it. Therefore, Zou Xin reluctantly accepted the Youma Army's attack of five thousand against five thousand, and defeated the opponent until the whole army was annihilated.
Shocking facts.
But after that, when Zou Xin led the infantry under his command and rushed to the middle battlefield along the advance route of the Youma Army, he actually saw the Youma Army repeating its old tricks again, and another thousands of Korean cavalrymen (
Huachang Army) killed the entire army and was wiped out.
Are you kidding?
Is this killing someone faster than cutting leeks?
The infantry under Zou Xin had just arrived from the west flank battlefield to the middle battlefield, and Shang Shui Youma destroyed another cavalry army of thousands of people?
Even for cavalry, the gap is not that big, right?
You must know that the opponent is not a soft persimmon, but a Korean cavalry, the invincible cavalry of Beiyuan!
On the battlefield in the middle, Sun Shuke, the commander of this battle, stared at the Yuma Heavy Cavalry that was retreating far away, with a look of horror on his face.
Since King Su's army joined the Northern Xinjiang campaign, why did Sun Shuke ask Ma You day after day for advice on how to restrain the Korean cavalry? Isn't it because the Korean cavalry has long been famous and its reputation has spread throughout the Central Plains countries?
But what did he see now?
A little-known Wei cavalry, Shangshui Youmajun, actually swept the battlefield with an invincible and domineering attitude, from the west flank to the middle, and successively destroyed two Korean cavalry of 5,000 people, as if drinking water and eating.
easy.
I, the Wei Dynasty... aren't the infantry strong but the cavalry weak?
Even though he was the frontline commander at this moment, Sun Shuke was inevitably a little distracted.
He suddenly remembered something. That was when His Highness Prince Su appointed him as the frontline commander. At that time, His Highness had told him to create the best opportunity for the Yuma Army to attack as much as possible.
, and leave it to Yuma Jun.
These five words handed to You Majun made Sun Shuke quite puzzled at the time.
Although Shangshui Yuma is the cavalry that His Royal Highness Prince Su has high hopes for, how much effect can it have against the 30,000 Korean cavalry of the Baoyuan Army and the 5,000 cavalry of the Shangshui Military Region?
But at this moment, Sun Shuke finally realized that the five thousand wandering horses could really determine the outcome of this war.
And what he had to do was just as His Highness King Su said: leave this battle to the Yuma Army.
"call……"
Sun Shuke let out a long breath. For some reason, he felt a little lonely in his heart.
He once thought that by taking the lead this time, he would have the opportunity to make some achievements and make those who held prejudices against him shut up and change their attitudes.
Unexpectedly, he was just a supporting role.
"Are you tired?"
Suddenly, a question came from the side.
"It's okay." Sun Shuke replied subconsciously, but then he felt something was wrong: On the battlefield at this moment, who dared to ask him about something as irrelevant as whether he was tired?
He turned his head subconsciously, and was shocked to find that King Su Zhao Hongrun had driven his war horse to the front line at some point and was standing side by side with him.
"His Royal Highness King Su!" Sun Shuke immediately clasped his fists and bowed his head, saluting Zhao Hongrun.
"Forget about etiquette." Zhao Hongrun said with a smile.
"His Royal Highness King Su, why are you here?" Sun Shuke asked in fear. After all, his position was quite close to the front line, only a few dozen feet away. If the Wei infantry in the front row were attacked by the Korean cavalry,
If there is a breakthrough, then it may only be a blink of an eye for Han Qi to reach this point.
"It doesn't matter." Zhao Hongrun seemed to see the uneasiness in Sun Shuke's heart. Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "Don't you think the Korean army has retreated?"
After hearing this, Sun Shuke quickly said: "Your Highness, the Korean army is not retreating, they are just temporarily out of the battle. This is a trick used by the cavalry..."
Having said this, Sun Shuke was stunned for a moment, because he suddenly realized that His Highness King Su in front of him had an understanding of cavalry that was no less than that of General Ma You of Youma Army. How could he not know how to escape from the battle and return to charge?
What about the cavalry's tricks?
In other words, since His Highness appears here, it means that in His Highness's view, the Korean army's defeat is certain.
But why?
There are still nearly 20,000 Korean cavalry on this battlefield!
Does His Highness really think that 5,000 Shangshui Youma can deal with the remaining 20,000 Korean cavalry?
As if he had guessed what Sun Shuke was thinking, Zhao Hongrun looked at the front of the battlefield and said lightly: "It's incredible, isn't it? Five thousand Yuma troops faced off against 30,000 long-famous Korean cavalry, but I still feel that the Yuma troops have a sure chance of victory.
...In fact, this is not surprising. Not to mention that the two Korean cavalry were defeated by the Yuma Army one by one. Even if they were hedging against the Yuma Army at the same time, or even if there were 30,000 Korean cavalry against the Yuma Army, they would still be in the end.
It will be the victory of the Yuma Army!"
"..." Sun Shuke was stunned for a moment, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
At this moment, Zhao Hongrun said again: "General Uncle Sun, please don't misunderstand what I mean... Heavy cavalry is a very special type of military force. It relies heavily on friendly forces. Only when friendly forces create the best conditions for it..."
Only when it has the chance to attack can it outnumber the crowd. Otherwise, even if it is a hundred thousand heavy cavalry, it may be toyed with by ten thousand light cavalry..."
Saying that, Zhao Hongrun glanced at Sun Shuke and said with a smile: "In this battle, it was you, Sun Shuke, who created an excellent opportunity for Yuma Heavy Cavalry to attack, allowing Ma You to destroy two 5,000-man troops in one go.
Cavalry... Without your excellent command, it would be difficult for our army to have such an advantage, and it would be difficult for Yuma to achieve such brilliant results... Well done, Uncle Sun, I am grateful to have someone like you under my command.
The general feels honored."
"..." Hearing this, Sun Shuke was flattered and quickly clasped his fists in thanks and said, "Your Highness has already said that it is an honor for the general to serve under His Highness... The general will not be worthy of His Highness's praise."
"You deserve it." Zhao Hongrun reached out and patted Sun Shuke on the shoulder, and then said with a smile: "Also...don't forget, Ma You owes you a huge favor for this battle, don't forget to hit him hard in the future.
A huge rip off.”
Because he received the praise from King Su Zhao Hongrun in public, Sun Shuke seemed to have removed the huge stone in his heart and felt relaxed all over. He smiled and agreed: "Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness... I believe that after this battle, General Ma You will be able to
He received many rewards from the imperial court."
"That's right." Zhao Hongrun laughed.
After a few jokes, Sun Shuke turned the topic back to the battlefield. He didn't want anything to go wrong in his first solo battle.
After all, the 5,000 heavy cavalry led by Ma You, after successively defeating the 5,000 cavalry led by two Korean generals Zhangwu and Huachang, were still not satisfied and actually charged straight towards the south.
.
Although the second battalion of the Yanling Army led by Wei general Zou Xin followed to support him, Sun Shuke was still a little worried.
Facing Sun Shuke's question, Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said: "It's difficult to destroy the 30,000 cavalry of Baoyuan in this battle. The opponent is not a fool. As long as he notices the terror of Youma Army, he will never choose to fight with Youma Army again."
The cavalry army is hedging... They are almost about to withdraw. As an enemy, the light cavalry is very annoying. When you are at a disadvantage, he will follow you like a shadow and bite you to the death. You can't escape;
But when you have an advantage, he turns around and runs away, and you can't catch up... The Yuma Army can seize the opportunity today and wipe out 10,000 Korean cavalry in one go. In addition to your command, the more important thing is
The Korean generals on the opposite side don’t understand the characteristics of heavy cavalry... It can be said that we caught the opponent off guard, but if we want to repeat the same trick in the future, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy..."
While Zhao Hongrun and Sun Shuke were chatting, the Youma army was charging towards the 10,000 cavalry led by Han general Baoyuan and his deputy Li Han.
In fact, in Zhao Hongrun's view, Yuma's heavy cavalry was almost exhausted at this time and was simply not enough to charge against a ten thousand Korean cavalry force.
However, he did not stop him because he knew that the Korean cavalry on the opposite side were far more panicked than him.
Think about it, a cavalry of 5,000 people destroyed two enemy cavalry of 5,000 people, and only suffered a loss of more than a hundred cavalry. Who dares to challenge such terrifying cavalry?
Sure enough, Han general Li Han tried to invest about three or four thousand cavalry. When he saw that these three or four thousand cavalry could not survive in front of the terrifying Wei cavalry, Li Han made a decisive decision to withdraw his troops.
.
The Wei army, on the other hand, did not have the energy to chase the four-legged Korean cavalry, so they ordered their troops to retreat and clean up the battlefield.
In this battle, the Korean army suffered a disastrous defeat. After the Baoyuan Army lost half of its 30,000 cavalry and retreated in embarrassment, Hyunshi City was declared to have fallen. Han General Jin Pao led the remaining defeated troops to flee north and defected to Changzi City.
I believe this battle is destined to be remembered by both Wei and Han, because in this battle, Wei Gongzi Ji Run defeated Bao Yuan and Jin Bo, two of the ten Northern Plains tycoons, with one against two.
He killed more than 15,000 Korean cavalry, more than 8,000 infantry, captured more than 5,000 prisoners of war, and finally captured Hyunshi City, which disgraced the Korean army.
What is shocking is that in this battle, the Wei side only suffered casualties of more than 2,000 infantry and more than a hundred cavalry on horseback, which was really shocking.
This battle alarmed the Han generals stationed in Changzi City a few days later, causing the third Beiyuan Ten Heroes after Jin Bo and Bao Yuan to lead their troops to join the siege against Wei Gongzi Ji Run and King Su's army.
, intending to trap Wei Gongzi Run, a powerful enemy, in the basin of Xuushi City at all costs.
