In the early morning of the next day, Li Wu, Li Chahan, Hua Ma and Mu Zheng led each of them to lead 30,000 light cavalry to set off, all of these 30,000 light cavalry came from the Imperial Forest Legion, and they were all carefully selected, when Li Bingchang and Li Wu proposed to use the light cavalry to restrain the heavy cavalry after the tactics, Li Liangzuo although a little disdainful, but still selected 30,000 soldiers and horses from the Royal Forest Legion for experimental training, and the results of the training were still very impressive.
These 30,000 light cavalry is the elite of the Xia cavalry, most of them are from the northern grasslands, have lived on horseback since childhood, are born knights, the main equipment of these 30,000 light cavalry is bows and sabers, and mainly bows and arrows, so every rider is a master of archery, in addition to the excellent bow and arrow, every ordinary rider can easily reach sixty steps away, and even some people can shoot seventy steps or even farther.
This is a long-range cavalry attack force, and before dawn, the 30,000 Xia cavalry secretly crossed the Honghe; For them, after crossing the Honghe, it means entering the battlefield, and after crossing the Honghe, the 30,000 cavalry immediately divided into three groups and went in three different directions, and they were destined to fight separately.
"Where are we now?"
"Lord Wang, our army should have penetrated nearly a hundred miles into the enemy's territory, and further west, it should be at the edge of the desert."
"Isn't it intelligence that the enemy army has already been deployed in our direction, this is all a hundred miles deep into the enemy's territory, why don't you even see a single hair of the enemy."
"Will the prince make the Serbian army shrink its forces, so he relaxed his vigilance."
"No, at this time, the Serbian army is attacking the city of Samma, it stands to reason that the Serbian army should be strictly guarded to prevent us from crossing the river, in case we sneak attack in the rear, ah Chenliang, this king has an ominous premonition, if we haven't encountered the enemy so far, it is very likely that we have fallen into the trap of the enemy."
"How is it possible to fall into the trap of the enemy" "Father is right, Marikshah's attack on Samad is a fake attack even if it is a real battle, and it is likely to be a disguise, the purpose is to attract our army to cross the river, and then use the superior forces to wipe us out, quickly get the map."
After the map was spread out on the ground, Li Wu looked at the surrounding terrain, and then pointed to the map and said: "Morning dawn, you see, we are now in this position, and there should be a small city called Chaike not far ahead, let's make a tentative attack first, and then quickly turn in, and it will be clear if there are any ambushes soon." ” "Yes, Lord Wang" "In addition, send someone to inform the two generals of the king's conjecture, and tell them to be careful, and to evacuate to the Honghe River as soon as things go wrong; A letter of resignation was sent to the emperor to present it to his father, so that the emperor could prepare reinforcements to rescue him at any time. ” "The Last General Commands" After the army was repaired for an hour, Li Wu, the king of Qin, led 10,000 cavalry to continue to advance, at this time it was already dark, and the night march could well ensure the concealment of the army, when Li Wu led the chaike, it was already the second half of the night, Li Wu did not attack overnight, but led the army to camp outside the city, Li Wu came here not to really attack the city, but to really his own conjecture.
When the Xia army came to the city, it was quickly discovered by the Serbian army defending the city, and a loud horn sound woke up the sleeping Xia army soldiers in the early morning; The guard Chai Ke is a 10,000 general of the Serbian army, there are only 5,000 defenders in the city, but in the face of 10,000 Xia soldiers outside the city, 10,000 people will not have any fear, in his eyes the Xia army outside the city is like a flock of sheep, and Suleiman's black army is on the same level.
"Report, report, report to the prince, the Serbian army in the city is out of the city."
"Out of the city" Li Wu smiled and said, "It seems that I want to go out of the city and fight this king."
"Lord, should we fight?"
"Of course, we came here to do this, to order the whole army to assemble, you and I each bring 5,000 soldiers and horses, from both flanks to attack the Serbian army, to test the Serbian commander's ability to deal with the ability and the combat effectiveness of the Serbian army."
"The last general commands."
Didn't hide Chenliang and took the military order.
Li Wu led the whole army to the city of Chai Ke, at this time the Xia army had already completed the formation, the cavalry queue of the Serbian army was a phalanx, Li Wu saw that such a queue almost did not laugh off the big teeth, the phalanx is a good formation for the infantry, because the phalanx can be converted between attack and defense at any time, but for the cavalry, this is a bit chicken, first of all, the cavalry is an offensive type of troops, the requirements for the queue are very important, because the speed of the war horse is very fast, so it is not easy to change the formation in the process of engagement, Although the cavalry phalanx has a wide enough attacking surface, it is also very vulnerable to enemy attacks.
But the next battle situation surprised Li Wu, the formation of the two sides of the cavalry began to impact each other, the first to attack was the defending Chai Ke's Serbian army, although the Serbian army put out a phalanx, but when attacking, it suddenly became a cone formation, it turned out that when the Serbian cavalry charged, the first to charge was the cavalry in the middle, and then the cavalry was bound to be located on both sides in turn, so when the whole army was in full force, the cavalry formation became a cone formation.
Although the Serbian army only has 5,000 cavalry, but the combat effectiveness of the Serbian army can not be ignored, Li Wuhe did not hide Chen Liang led 5,000 cavalry to avoid the heavy charge of the Serbian army, from both wings continue to consume the Serbian army with arrow rain, but the Serbian army against the Xia army is not a heavy cavalry after all, but light cavalry, the wheel mobility is similar on both sides, the only way for the Xia army to win is superb cavalry and archery skills, in this regard, the Xia army is much better than the Serbian army, after all, the Xia army trained by Li Wu is specially trained.
After a round of confrontation, the Xia army killed and wounded more than 500 enemy soldiers at the cost of less than 100 people; After turning the horse's head, Li Wu, the king of Qin, issued a military order: "Order, the officers and men of the whole army are ready to face the enemy head-on after a round of arrow rain, and engage in short combat. ” On the other side, the 10,000 people of the Cypriot army will say to an adjutant general beside him: "The cavalry of the Xia army is stronger than our army, and it is not an opponent of our army for a long time. ” "Yes, please rest assured that the general will complete the task to the death."
The two sides carried out several rounds of short-handed encounters with casualties, and the Xia army led by Li Wu did not take any advantage, after several rounds of confrontation, Li Wu said to Wuzang Chenliang: "It's almost, the war has dragged on for a long time, which is not good for our army, and ordered the whole army to prepare to evacuate." ” "But Lord Wang, we will definitely pursue the enemy when we withdraw from it, which is really too disadvantageous for our army."
"You see the smoke and dust in the east, it is estimated that the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, and it will be really too late if you don't withdraw, tell the brothers to withdraw and we still have a chance in the future."
"Yes, the prince has ordered the whole army to evacuate" Retreat is easy to say, but it is not easy to do at all, when Li Wu withdrew, 10,000 people will lead thousands of soldiers to chase after him, and Li Wu's situation is in danger step by step.
