Chapter 388: Liuzhou Iron Horse


If you add that there are nearly 20,000 elite horsemen behind you to bite the tail and chase and kill, you can probably use the word "dead place" to describe the situation.

It was in this extremely dangerous situation that the Dragon Elephant Army, which was rushing all the way south, began to change formations, and the vanguard cavalry, which had mostly destroyed their guns and spears, slightly tightened their fronts, led by Li Mofan, who took the lead, and everyone drew their swords out of their sheaths and opened the formation in a conical shape, obviously to cross the 38,000 cavalry of the Yizi Longguan Haolord at the fastest speed.

At the same time, roughly in the middle of the formation of the Dragon Elephant Army, a clear line was stretched, and more than 10,000 young and strong cavalrymen who slowed down the speed of their horses were concentrated in the rear, and almost everyone had guns and spears.

The former opened the formation, more to tear apart the enemy's formation, and at the same time to block the speed of the Northern Mang cavalry to the greatest extent, while the latter fiercely collided with the formation, which was more of a life-and-death fight.

Not far away, just enough to bite the back of the Dragon Elephant Army, the Huang Song Pubu cavalry, under the personal leadership of the Beimang general, did not try their best to rush forward, but at the same time as the Dragon Elephant Army changed formation, the formation was also quietly changing, the middle of the cavalry formation was thin and the wings were thick, and they suffered the greatest battle losses, plus the previous detour to the north of the camp to cut off the road of the Dragon Elephant Army's northward retreat, the cavalry and the war horses were a little tired, and after a blow, they needed to take this opportunity to regain momentum, and then join forces with the cavalry of the Southern Dynasty B character Gaomen to carry out a north-south attack, Once they rush too fast and encounter those who pass through the formation of the Dragon Elephant Army, it will cause an embarrassing situation of their own collision, and it is easy to hinder each other, so the cavalry of the Huang Song and Song Pu tribes is like a torrent encountering the pillar of the heart of the river, and intends to give up a large area due north, so that the friendly army can turn around, and then the two cavalry armies that will naturally gather together, the formation can instantly become an excellent scene where both wings of the middle belly are thick, and cooperate with the horse rejection formation composed of foot soldiers from the camp in the south.

It will definitely be able to inflict considerable damage on the dragon elephant army that has been defeated again and again.

However, the border army of Beiliangliu Prefecture had already shown signs of annihilation, and after the cavalry of the Koujiang Huai Department and the 20,000 cavalry of the Wanyan Yinjiang Department carved into each other's formations, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse The 20,000 elite first-class border troops of the Southern Dynasty thought that it would be a simple victory that could reap monstrous military exploits, but they never thought that after the collision, they would be defeated like a mountain Kou Jianghuai and a young military general in strange red armor were neck and neck, unstoppable This is true of the two horsemen, and even more so with the ten thousand horsemen behind them If it weren't for the kind of Liang who was hiding beside Wanyan Yinjiang to come to the rescue, Wanyan Yinjiang would probably be shot through the chest by the young man wearing the red armor of the talisman If it weren't for the fact that the young man who won the title of 10,000 enemies on the battlefield of Liang Mang didn't have the intention of fighting, I'm afraid that even if Chong Liang wanted to keep the number two person who was the leader of the Longguan aristocracy, it would not be easy.

But Tan Liang, who was in the middle of the battlefield, also felt frightened.

How could the combat power of this 10,000 cavalry be the cavalry of Bei Liang The well-deserved main force of the Dragon Elephant Army is about the same After finishing Yan Yinjiang's 20,000 fine horsemen, it was like a piece of silk torn by a sharp weapon, and the battle damage was extremely great, and after staggering each other, it was actually lying down more than 3,000 horsemen.

This kind of heavy damage is simply incredible.

Domino effect.

The inexplicable vulnerability of the elite cavalry of Wanyan Yinjiang directly caused the morale of the infantry defensive front on the western front of Beimang to fluctuate, because as long as the dragon elephant army in the north went south smoothly, a situation of two cavalry armies attacking the north and south of one infantry army would be formed.

This was fatal enough for a large phalanx on the steppe where only the last men would be reduced to foot soldiers.

In an instant, the situation was reversed, and the winner changed hands Nearly 40,000 cavalry troops formed by the collection of several Longguan B-shaped high gates, although they still gritted their teeth to intercept the southbound Dragon Elephant Army, but in the face of a Beiliang cavalry army with a number of more than 25,000 people, they naturally had more than enough heart and insufficient strength.

The iron spear of Li Mofan, who killed no less than 30 enemy riders, had already collapsed, and the more than 40 halberd sacs on both sides of the saddle were exhausted, and the more than 40 corpses in the Beimang Heavy Camp had a short halberd stuck in their heads without exception When Li Mofan, who was the head of the cavalry formation, took the lead in successfully killing through the enemy formation, he was covered with blood.

This deputy general of the Dragon Elephant Army seemed to be more than 25,000 dragon elephant cavalry behind him at that time, but in fact, it was less than 15,000 cavalry to be exact, because there were 10,000 people from the Kou Jianghuai Division, whose combat strength was far inferior to that of the dragon elephant cavalry The 10,000 out-of-arms young cavalry who had been recuperating from beginning to end, where the spears passed, were full of the corpses of the fallen horses of the Northern Mang cavalry.

Kou Jianghuai's stealing of beams and pillars is the real key to this war that gives the Beimang cavalry an absurd feeling from beginning to end.

In fact, the previous 10,000 people have always followed behind the two dragon elephant light horsemen on the left flank, from breaking the formation to entering the camp, and now going south, the battle damage is almost negligible.

At the beginning of the war, the earliest breakthrough of the two-winged dragon elephant army was too easy, so Beimang did not see through their identity.

So on the battlefield now, the Beimang army fell into an extremely embarrassing and comical situation.

The southernmost Wanyan Yinjiang cavalry was beaten to the point of no spirit, and everyone was in a panic from the main general Wanyan Yinjiang down to the ordinary cavalry.

Then there is the formation has not yet been completely condensed into the infantry army formation, the first-class infantry of the border army of the North Mang and the South Dynasty, more than 20,000 foot soldiers have been dispatched to attack the two towns of Fengxiang and Linyao, this infantry army that hurriedly went out of the camp to form a formation, most of them are wearing light leather armor, after all, it is not the kind of heavy armored infantry in the history of the Central Plains that is specifically aimed at the grassland cavalry, and the original intention of this infantry army is to attack Qingcang City in Liuzhou, how can it be used to resist the frontal charge of the Beiliang cavalry For this kind of infantry and cavalry battle, the Beimang infantry army is equipped or literate, They all look unusually jerky and immature.

Dismounting and fighting as foot soldiers is the weakness of the men of the Beimang grassland, and they are naturally unfamiliar with the heavy crossbow with an uneasy step bow, and they are suddenly asked to stand still in the face of the collision of a Beiliang iron horseman, the kind of awkward discomfort can be imagined.

Further north, it is the B-shaped Gaomen cavalry that has passed by the Dragon Elephant Army, and the northernmost is the iron cavalry of the Huang Song Pu Department who gave up the middle abdomen.

The complete line of defense, which should have been connected with the same qi, was shattered.

Beimang's troops are still superior, but the morale of the two sides is very different Li Mofan raised his eyes to look at the cavalry of the Kou Jianghuai Army, which was separated by a northern Mangbu military formation, which was the main force of the real Dragon Elephant Army.

The military general pulled the corners of his mouth, raised the cool knife, and swirled it slightly.

The more than 10,000 dragon elephant light horsemen behind him simply ignored the large infantry formation, drew an arc around the edge of the infantry formation, and easily headed south.

After Li Mofan heard a voice, he suddenly turned his head in astonishment.

After the frontal collision, there were still 8,000 young and strong cavalry soldiers left, and one of them actually crashed straight into the military formation of Beimangbu, speared forward, and roared angrily: "Liuzhou Iron Cavalry wishes the dead to die with me."

Li Mofan, who had an indifferent face, slowed down his horse speed and always turned his head to look north.

That guy can't go crazy Today's battle is all due to Kou Jianghuai's careful deployment, and everything is in Kou Jianghuai's calculations, but the Liuzhou general has never let the homeless people take the initiative to die You must know that this kind of bold behavior of advocating and adding to the snake, after the war, all the military merits are not to be said, according to the military law of Beiliang, the rank will be reduced at the least, and the beheading will be shown to the public In Li Mofan's field of vision, he saw that the horse was about to collide with the Beimang Infantry Army and rejected the horse gun, and the first-class war horse from the pasture suddenly jumped high Passing the front two rows of horse-repellent spears that leaned forward, even the men and horses crashed in The iron hooves of the fallen war horse trampled to death on the spot.

The knees of the overwhelmed war horse were broken, and the iron horse in the hand of the Liuzhou cavalry was fiercely handed out, and it was actually a shot that pierced the chest of the three foot soldiers one after another After landing, the Liuzhou cavalry held the gun in both hands and ran forward.

Behind him, the cavalry front, facing the cold light flickering Beimang Horse Rejection Formation in front of him, the men and horses did not flinch in the slightest, and just ran straight ahead The Beiliang war horses were stabbed to death by sharp spears.

The cavalry faced the infantry army formation that was waiting for the formation, and if they wanted to open the formation head-on, the vanguard cavalry in the front row would die, which was a sure ending, and only in this way could the infantry formation be broken little by little.

There are no shortcuts other than the lives of horsemen and horses.

Eight thousand Liuzhou rides, crashing into the formation In the end, no one followed the Dragon Elephant Army around the formation and returned south.

In the first row of the Northern Mang Infantry Army's rejection of horses, on top of many spears, Liuzhou people and horses were all hung to death Some spears even had two corpses hanging from them.

Under this constant impact, the infantry had to retreat.

The huge inertia under the charge of the war horse, many horse rejection guns were broken, even if many Liuzhou cavalry were killed in front of the formation by the heavy crossbow of the rifle, but many war horses still brutally crashed into the formation by virtue of inertia, and some Beimang infantry soldiers were directly killed in the formation.

Where had this Northern Mangbu military formation seen such a cavalry charge regardless of casualties.

The large array, which was originally dense and stable, was finally on the verge of collapse.

If this infantry formation is on the territory of the Central Plains, the kind of heavy armored infantry soldiers who are born to restrain the grassland cavalry, and the kind of heavy infantry formation that has reached the peak of armor and tactics, then under the premise of stacking the formation, the rejecting horse spear and the multi-row standing shield are superimposed on the defensive thickness, supplemented by the alternating rotation of bows and crossbows, then even if this Liuzhou cavalry disrupts the front line with a fierce and fearless attitude, only the corpses of the war horses that keep falling to the ground and killing themselves are enough to form a new natural defense line, and at the same time, the entire large array moves back dozens of steps in an orderly manner.

At the same time, he did not hesitate to exchange his life for buffer time and strategic area, so even if the large array could not be deployed to the initial level of solidity in a short time, the continuous lethality of the follow-up charging cavalry was still amazing.

It's a pity that this is not the battle of Miyun Pass, and the chief general of the Beimangbu Army is not Xie Xichen who uses the tactics of rejecting horses to the realm of supernatural transformation.

At this moment, after the horse rejection gun formation in front was shattered, and the Liuzhou cavalry who was the first to crash into the formation was desperately disrupting, the Beimang bow and crossbow foot soldiers behind were completely dazed, and they didn't know how to deal with it at all.

Even more deadly is beyond this bloody battlefield.

The dragon elephant cavalry under Li Mofan's command did not turn around to help the Liuzhou cavalry, but went straight south and rushed towards the Wanyan Yinjiang cavalry who were trying to support the infantry formation.

And the main force of the dragon elephant cavalry led by Kou Jianghuai and Xu Longxiang personally did not hesitate to gallop north and crash towards the rear of the infantry formation.

Li Mofan no longer turned his head to look at the battlefield where corpses were accumulated.

The young Liuzhou cavalry general, he is no stranger, named Qifu Longguan, it seems that the young feudal king personally brought the lucky one from Beimang to Beiliang, at the beginning he served as a captain in the Dragon Elephant Army, and later went to Poria Military Town to be promoted to the captain, the first battle of Liangmang in the battle of Yapo, it was this captain who disrupted the careful deployment of both sides of Liangmang who wanted to lure the enemy deep and then annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, so that the Northern Liang capital protected Chu Lushan and the then king of the Southern Courtyard Dong Zhuo couldn't cry or laugh afterwards, so the young man suddenly moved outside the Liangzhou Pass, after the war, Because the Dragon Elephant Army suffered heavy casualties on the battlefield of Liuzhou, and at the same time, Kou Jianghuai, as the nominal general of Liuzhou, also needed a line of his own soldiers and horses, so Qifu Longguan was transferred from Poria Military Town to Liuzhou and became one of the three cavalry captains under Kou Jianghuai.

Li Mofan couldn't help but think to himself, this young man was indeed a thorny figure.

He even planned that if this kid could survive by luck, most likely he wanted to be an official, or he would have the cheekiness to ask the young vassal king for mercy, so as to save this kid's life, and then quietly throw it under his hands as a pro-army commander With the help of the main force of the Dragon Elephant Army, the already crumbling Beimang infantry formation was nearly 20,000 people from the earliest, and there was not one in ten This is true once the infantry is broken by the cavalry.

However, there are only 3,000 cavalry left in the 8,000 Liuzhou cavalry.

The young horseman, covered in blood, begged for Longguan, It was Xu Longxiang, who was killed like a god, bent down from the pile of corpses and grabbed it, and the two rode back south.

The 3,000 Liuzhou cavalry, which suffered heavy casualties, retreated under the cover of the main dragon elephant cavalry personally dispatched by Kou Jianghuai.

Under the fierce impact of the Dragon Elephant Army of Li Mo's domain, the cavalry under Wanyan Yinjiang was smashed to a sparse formation, and in the end it was still unable to form an encirclement with the main army of Huang Song Pu in the north.

I could only watch as this Liuzhou border army broke through.

On the way back to the south, after the Baima crossbowmen returned to the military situation and the main force of Beimang had no intention of pursuing, this Liuzhou army stopped its horse for a temporary rest.

Xu Longxiang, Kou Jianghuai and Li Mofan met and stood together to feed their respective war horses.

Li Mofan glanced at the group of homeless young cavalry gathered in the distance, and after retracting his gaze, he looked at Kou Jianghuai with a solemn expression, "This battle can be regarded as a big victory, the expected Northern Mang's baggage battalion has been defeated by us, as for the cavalry exchange, it is roughly one for two, which is also within the range of bearing, and in the end, he also ate Huang Lao'er's siege infantry army in one go, no matter how you calculate this account, it is earned." ” Kou Jianghuai nodded expressionlessly.

Li Mofan sighed, "You said frankly before that this battle will inevitably be the death of the Dragon Elephant Army first, and then the death of the Wandering Cavalry, in addition to blocking the pace of Huang Song Pu to the south, you can also use this to train the troops, and the two will not be delayed, so as not to drag the Dragon Elephant Army back in the last battle."

But if you toss the boy, he dies later, but he dies too much, and in the end he loses a full seven thousand horsemen.

Kou Jianghuai, what are you going to do next, you only have such a few soldiers and horses, okay?"

Xu Longxiang suddenly said: "Allocate seven thousand dragon elephants to ride to General Kou." ” Kou Jianghuai shook his head and said, "No." ” Xu Longxiang said in a deep voice: "After the seven thousand horses are drawn to you, you don't have to return them." ” Kou Jianghuai smiled and said something that made the second monk confusing him, "If it is in Guangling Road, don't say that 7,000 people will be allocated to me, and I will also collect 70,000 people, and I will not pay it back if I am killed."

But here, forget it. ” Xu Longxiang couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bother to think about it.

Li Mofan smiled knowingly.

The Liuzhou general narrowed his eyes, "I, Kou Jianghuai, have three thousand horsemen from that homeless background, which is enough." ” Li Mofan asked: "What should that kid do with me, I guess if he reports it to the Duhu Mansion according to the truth, it will be enough to choke."

Kou Jianghuai said indifferently: "Paper can't hold the fire, if you really want to let the beggar Longguan live, you can only report it according to the truth." ” Xu Longxiang hesitated, "I'll tell my brother" Kou Jianghuai shook his head and said, "It's meaningless." ” Xu Longxiang was silent.

In Liuzhou Three Thousand Horses, there was a young military general, sitting alone next to the hooves of a war horse, with his head down, not daring to let people see his face full of tears.

Eight thousand Liuzhou rides, may the dead be eight thousand.

Because of him, five thousand people were killed in battle After the Liuzhou border army returned to the garrison, the atmosphere in the camps everywhere was solemn.

Two 800-mile expedited military letters, from Huaiyang Guandu Hufu and the Refusal of the Beicheng General's Mansion one after the other to arrive at Liuzhou Qingcang City.

Kou Jianghuai took two military letters stamped with "Beiliang Duhu" and "Beiliang King", and came to the garrison of the three thousand cavalry Liuzhou cavalry The young military general stood still, his face calm.

It's like being on the battlefield, looking at death as if it were home.

Kou Jianghuai spread out a military letter with an expressionless face, and read it slowly: "The captain of Liuzhou begged for Longguan, greedy for merit, and caused 5,000 cavalry in Liuzhou to die in battle, and he was killed in the battle of Beiliang Duhu, Chu Lushan" The three thousand Liuzhou cavalry soldiers all showed unbearable expressions, and their faces were full of grief and indignation.

Kou Jianghuai did not move, his eyes were cold, overlooking the entire school martial arts field.

The young military general who was sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to a decisive sentence was relieved, his eyes were red, he lowered his head and hugged his fists and said: "Begging for Longguan, take the order" The corners of Kou Jianghuai's mouth twitched, and he suddenly asked with a smile: "Beiliang Duhu, in our Beiliang, the official is big enough, it is bigger than the commander of the cavalry army and the commander of the infantry army, and the two deputy envoys of Beiliang Dao are far inferior, right?"

All the vagabond-born horsemen in the school martial arts field felt confused, especially the begging Longguan.

Kou Jianghuai took a step forward and began to read the second letter from Beicheng, "Since the early days of the establishment of my Xu family's cavalry, even if the battalion is not enough armor, not enough swords, and not enough horses, it is still an iron horse."

"There are six old cavalry battalions in Liangzhou, and there are new cavalry battalions in Youzhou last year."

Reading this, Kou Jianghuai paused slightly, "Now there are also iron cavalry battalions in Liuzhou that allow the battlefield to erect camp flags and fight."

Kou Jianghuai clenched the military letter, took a step forward again, and after exhaling heavily, he said in a deep voice: "The Liuzhou cavalry has set up a new battalion, and the battalion has been begged to be in Longguan, and the lieutenant of the Liuzhou cavalry army has been demoted to the commander of the battalion."

"As the commander of the army, he leads the king of Beiliang in this camp, Xu Fengnian" Kou Jianghuai looked at the young military general and shouted angrily: "Begging for Longguan to receive orders" Begging Longguan straightened his waist, trembled slightly, and shouted with all his might: "Begging Longguan dares not to accept orders" Beiliang military discipline, Beiliang iron cavalry, as long as you are wearing armor, even if you meet a general, you never have to kneel Kou Jianghuai put away the two military letters, and for no reason remembered the unintentional words of the young military general in that battle.

The Liuzhou general gritted his teeth word by word and said: "Liuzhou Iron Cavalry wishes to die, die with me" School martial arts field, 3,000 voices, willing to die:
