Chapter 174: Vulnerable


"Send an order to wake up the soldiers and prepare to set off.

Horses are bitten and their hooves are wrapped in cloth.

No one is allowed to make any noise during the march.

Anyone who disobeys the order is ordered to be killed.

The scout battalion sends scouts to go ahead and conduct reconnaissance to clearly understand the warning posts and sentries outside the enemy camp."

Liu Cheng stood up and ordered to a guard next to him.

"Follow your orders" After three consecutive whistles, the whole village came to life.

Countless figures emerged from the tents.

While sorting out their equipment, they found their horses and gathered with their comrades.

The long reins of those short-legged war horses were nailed to the grass, and the war horses were eating dew-covered green weeds around the camp.

They traveled long distances for a day and a night, and spent more than an hour eating green grass and two pounds of beans.

They regained their strength and spirit.

Liu Cheng rode on the red rabbit horse and quietly watched the soldiers quickly and orderly assemble in front of him.

He felt a little relieved.

After such a long period of training, the discipline, combat skills and confrontation skills of the Northern Army's light cavalry had improved.

The execution of tactics has made a fundamental leap, and these people are what he relies on.

Following Liu Cheng was Wang Shuang.

The cavalry was originally led by Captain Du Kai of Changshui.

However, Liu Cheng found that Du Kai had no talent for cavalry combat.

It was too much to hand over these elite cavalry to this man to lead and fight.

It was a waste, so he left Du Kai in Xingyang and brought Wang Shuang out this time.

Wang Shuangce immediately came to report: "My lord, all five thousand soldiers and horses have been assembled.

Please give me your order."

Liu Cheng waved his riding whip forward: "Let's go" "Yes," Wang Shuang agreed, clasping his fists, turning around and shouting: "The first, second, third, and fortieth villages will set off in order."

The five thousand cavalry set off in an orderly, fast and quiet manner without anyone or any horse making a sound.

This level of discipline and coordination was quite terrifying in this era.

Liu Cheng is very satisfied with the training results in the past few months, but there are still problems with the military establishment.

For example, most of the Changshui Xiaowei camp is composed of Xianbei, Huns and Wuwan people, with only a small number of people.

The Han soldiers totaled 6,000 men and 8,000 horses.

These 6,000 people are divided into twelve villages, each with 500 people, which means that directly under the captain is the village commander.

It seems that the military power is dispersed, but it is not conducive to commanding operations, but it is also due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The situation created by the blind expansion of armaments was that although the number of troops increased, the organization did not keep up, so there was a situation where one captain had more than a dozen commanders.

This time Liu Cheng brought 5,000 men and 6,000 horses.

He also wanted to see what shortcomings this organization had in the actual combat process, and then take time to adjust and improve the organization based on these defects after returning.

In the early morning, there was a bit of chill in the dark night, but it did not seem cold.

The spring breeze drove away the cold air.

The arrival of five thousand soldiers and horses alarmed the insects in the field, and their screams stopped abruptly.

In about an hour, the army quietly arrived in the north of Yangzhai City, only three miles away from the military camp of Yuzhou Governor Kong Ni.

An outpost cavalry quietly appeared in front.

"General, we have searched the area around the enemy camp in detail and it is safe.

They have not deployed any guard posts around the camp at all."

Liu Cheng said with a stern face: "I'm afraid Kong Min didn't expect that we would have the courage to send troops to attack the coalition forces, and I'm afraid he didn't expect that we would choose to attack him first.

Send the order, the whole army slows down and approaches slowly, and the torches and fire sticks are all ready.

The scout battalion sent people to get under the wall of the enemy's camp and be prepared to destroy the wall.

Once the army comes over, they must knock down the wall as quickly as possible."

"Follow your orders" The distance of three miles, minus the acceleration distance of the cavalry, is one mile, and there is only a distance of two miles.

No matter how slow we go, we will still finish the journey.

Only one mile away from the camp, the army quietly stopped again.

After a short period of reorganization, five thousand soldiers and horses were arranged in eight columns.

"A thousand men from the rear team will leave a warning to keep an eye on the defenders in Yangzhai City.

If the defenders in the city come out for reinforcements, they will immediately come out to disperse them."

After Liu Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and ordered: "Light the fire."

After a few minutes, one torch after another was lit.

Liu Cheng turned his head to look, then reached out and pulled down his mask, revealing a ferocious and terrifying demon mask.

He took off the Dragon Fang Pojun Boring from the victory hook and headed towards it.

Point forward and shout: "Chong" The silent attack began.

Liu Cheng took the lead and rushed forward.

Behind him, Wang Shuang followed closely with five thousand cavalry.

The sound of horse hooves sounded immediately, and it was like a fire dragon driving straight into the night. .

The reaction of the Yuzhou soldiers in the camp was slow enough.

It is no wonder that dozing off at night in spring is the most comfortable, not to mention it was still early in the morning.

It was not until Liu Cheng at the front rushed to the wall that anyone in the camp reacted, but everything was gone.

It's too late.

With a "boom", a large section of the wall made of wood was pulled down with ropes by dozens of knights from the scout camp.

A gap of 20 to 30 meters wide appeared in the wall.

Liu Cheng led the four thousand cavalry behind him through this gap.

The gap drove straight into the camp.

"The enemy is coming in, the enemy is coming in" "Run quickly, ah" "Where's my armor?"

"Captain, Commander, where are you?"

There was complete chaos in the Yuzhou military camp.

Countless Yuzhou soldiers who had woken up from their sleep rushed out of the camp.

They were all panic-stricken and naked.

The soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers.

However, the attack of Liu Cheng and his four thousand cavalry arrived.

Liu Cheng shouted, "Fire arrows!"

While running at high speed, waves of arrows fell among the panicked Yuzhou soldiers.

Screams rang out, the tents were knocked down, and countless Yuzhou soldiers were running around without any organization.

These Yuzhou soldiers were completely vulnerable, and no one had the ability to organize these panicked Yuzhou soldiers.

The Northern Army cavalry fired arrows and set fire.

Yuzhou soldiers were shot to the ground one by one, and the tents were ignited by the torches thrown by the cavalry.

The fire started, with thick smoke billowing and flames rising into the sky.

Before they could get out of the way, The Yuzhou soldiers who ran out of the camp were engulfed in the fire.

The Northern Army cavalry were divided into two, and led by Liu Cheng and Wang Shuang respectively, they inserted themselves into the depths of the camp from the left and right sides.

Wherever the army passed, Yuzhou soldiers were killed one by one, and were hit by high-speed sprinting horses. die.

The Yuzhou soldiers wanted to escape, but they found that they could not escape at all.

They were tied up in the camp, and the unknown enemy cavalry that rushed in ran rampant in all directions, killing everyone they saw.

The more they gathered together, the more...

Vulnerable to attack.

After a large number of Yuzhou soldiers were killed, other people were even more frightened and panicked.

After all, they were temporarily recruited strong men with no fighting power at all.

When those Yuzhou veterans were killed to the point where there were not many left, the remaining Yuzhou soldiers were thrown away one after another.

He disarmed and knelt on the ground shouting: "Surrender, surrender, spare your life, spare your life, we surrender."

Liu Cheng immediately shouted: "Surrender without killing" The Northern cavalry behind them also shouted: "Surrender without killing" More and more Yuzhou soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender.

The fires produced when the tents and food and supplies in the camp were burned brightly illuminated the entire camp.

This camp is just outside Yangdi City.

You can see what is happening in the camp from the city wall.

After the camp was attacked, the defenders in Yangdi City finally responded.

A scribe led three thousand infantrymen.

Rush out of the city and prepare to support the camp under attack.

"Quick, quick, speed up.

We attack the enemy from behind and attack the defenders inside and outside the camp.

We will definitely be able to defeat them.

This is a great achievement.

When the governor and the prefect come back, I will definitely be true to the truth.

If you report the merits of the troops, you will be promoted to a higher rank and receive generous rewards.

It will be a matter of course."

The civil servant leading the army was riding a horse at the front with a long sword in his hand.

His words inspired the soldiers behind him to cheer up, as if their feet became much lighter.

Just as they were all leaving the city and heading toward the camp, a thousand Northern Army cavalry quietly appeared one mile from their flanks.

The Yangdi defenders who came out of the city to reinforce the camp did not notice the thousand cavalry.

They were too far away.

It was too dark, but the rumble of horse hooves announced their presence and the ensuing attack.

When the thousand cavalry rushed to a close distance, the leading officer of the Yangdi garrison noticed it.

He turned his head and looked, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he shouted: "Stop quickly, stop setting up defenses, defense" When he returned to camp, he was greeted by three consecutive waves of arrow rain.

Three thousand Yangdi defenders were shot down one after another.

Those injured by the arrows lay on the ground and howled miserably, causing other Yangdi soldiers around him to panic.

After the rain of arrows stopped, it was accompanied by the sound of a large number of horse hooves, coming from far to near, so fast that it was unimaginable.

The civil servants had no time to organize their troops and deploy defensive formations.

The Yangdi army was cut off by the thousands of cavalry in the middle, and then suddenly The left, right and right were separated and surrounded.

The panicked Yangzhai army had no time to react and could only instinctively move closer to each other.

This would give them a sense of security, but it would make them more vulnerable to attack.

The large number of Yangzhai defenders was surrounded by the small number of Northern Army cavalry.

Waves of arrows were shot out from the hands of the constantly running Northern Army cavalry.

The densely packed Yangzhai troops fell down after being hit by arrows.

The Northern Army cavalry They don't need to aim at all, they can just shoot arrows into the crowd.

As more and more Yangzhai soldiers were shot and killed, the remaining Yangzhai soldiers completely lost their courage and allowed these Northern Army soldiers to shoot and kill them.

They could only keep pushing their comrades in front to block the arrows as a way of thinking.

Buy yourself a moment of safety.

The tactics used by these Northern cavalry were cavalry tactics.

They used the high-speed sprinting ability of the cavalry to penetrate the enemy's formation, and then weaved back and forth among the enemy troops to divide and encircle them.

They kept a distance from the surrounded enemy troops, and then used the cavalry to The bow continuously shoots at the enemy.

During the whole process, all the cavalry cannot stop for a moment and always keep galloping.

The principle of shooting at the target is to follow the principle of shooting the nearest enemy first, so as to always keep shooting.

Keep your distance from the enemy so they can't complete the breakout.

If the enemy wants to break out of the encirclement, the cavalry must move quickly with it, keeping in line with the enemy's breakout direction.

If you break out to the north, the encirclement circle must also move north, always enclosing you in the encirclement circle, making it impossible for you to break out successfully.

This can be accomplished by using the high-speed movement of the light cavalry
