"Array! Array!"
Stark yelled hoarsely, grabbed the flag and waved it back and forth. At the same time, Fu Zhengming kept yelling to get his men together. When encountering the enemy's elite light cavalry in the field, the best way for infantry to fight against the enemy is to form an array defense as soon as possible, and form a jungle like barrier with a long gun to ensure absolute thickness. In this case, the light cavalry will never dare to step into the array easily. Once they rush in, the light cavalry will fall into the mire.
In order to pursue the ultimate speed, the light cavalry's armor is very light. They can't even guard against feather arrows and sharp spears. Therefore, once they break into the infantry square with sufficient thickness, the cavalry sitting on the horseback obviously higher becomes the target for infantry to practice assassination.
But when the infantry are too late to line up, the light cavalry can cut and ravage the infantry with knives and meat.
Fu Zhengming and stark have been leaders for many years. Even if they have less experience in combat, they have read a lot of art of war. They know what is the best case and what is the worst case. Now Fu Zhengming's troops have just assembled and can't form an array at all, so if they can't create the best case, they must try their best not to become the worst case.
"Archer! Shoot! Shoot!"
Fu Zhengming's voice was hoarse, and his voice was like a broken bellows.
The soldiers of the Nanyan army who have just experienced a panic and rout are crazy to assemble in the shortest time. The archers scattered their arrows to try to stop the light cavalry of the black flag army from breaking in, while the subordinates of stark, who had been in the array defense before, are relatively better.
The square of 5000 people has enough thickness. It may be nothing in front of heavy cavalry, but in front of light cavalry, the square is like a large swamp.
But Stark's men and horses had no archers and could not prevent the black flag army from approaching.
But obviously, the light cavalry of the black flag army did not intend to break in directly.
Xiahou Baichuan looked at the Nanyan Army soldiers who were obviously divided into two groups in front of him and determined where the attack target was at the first time. Stacke's 5000 men and horses are hard to bite, and Fu Zhengming's rout is a time of tension and fear. Naturally, he is unwilling to let go.
Xiahou Baichuan pointed the horizontal knife in the direction of Fu Zhengming's flag and shouted, "plunder!"
Following him, Jingqi immediately divided into two teams and rolled towards Fu Zhengming's men and horses from two directions. When the cavalry was getting closer and closer, all the soldiers of the Nanyan army turned white. At this time, they found that they had just escaped from the tiger's den and fell into the Longtan.
"Shoot!"
Xiahou Baichuan ordered loudly, and the flag embroidered with flying lion army swayed a few times. Seeing the military order, the elite soldiers immediately put up their crossbows and suddenly turned around 50 steps away from the scattered formation of the Nanyan army, changing from straight to horizontal. This requires very strong horse control skills. If you move forward ten steps, the war horses may not be able to deflect, but bump into the Wuli of Nanyan army.
The two cavalry drew a beautiful arc at the same time, as if a crescent moon had risen on both sides of the Nanyan team at the same time. This crescent moon is not only beautiful, but also murderous.
The sudden sound excited by the crossbow was like the sound of the rainstorm hitting the lotus leaf. The dense short crossbow spilled straight into the Wu of the Nanyan army. The outermost soldiers of the Nanyan army immediately fell down one layer like rice dropped by a sickle, followed by the next layer.
The raiding tactics of light cavalry are a nightmare for infantry.
Two cavalry crossed on the side of Nanyan army, just like two long dragons flying around a big ball. The panicked Sergeant Nanyan looked at the two cavalry crossing, and all their eyes were taken away by the two cavalry. But at the moment when the two cavalry crossed teams separated, like opening a door, another cavalry slammed in from the open door!
This is a tactic that the black flag army has practiced countless times. Before, the swimming of the two cavalry of Xiahou Baichuan was just a cover up. When they swept the array, they must attract the attention of all the soldiers of the Nanyan army. At the moment when the two teams crossed, another cavalry ready for a long time rushed in.
There is no room for cooperation.
Liu Xuri was from Jiaoyang County in the northeast of the great Sui Dynasty. He was the captain of liupin Guoyi during the first western expedition in the great Sui Dynasty. He experienced the darkest and cruelest war in the history of the Sui Dynasty and witnessed the tragic loss of hundreds of thousands of elite in the northwest. On the grassland of more than 2000 miles, the invincible elite infantry of the Sui Dynasty were cut down one by one by the light riders of the grassland people, and they didn't even have the strength to fight back.
How many times did he gnash his teeth with hate.
If the big Sui army had a strong cavalry in the western expedition at that time, it would not have been defeated so miserably and directly.
He always thought that if he had the chance to become a cavalry general in the future, he would bring his cavalry to let the foreign enemies taste the taste of despair.
That day was not only the darkest day in the history of the Sui army, but also the darkest day in his personal life. In the month after the defeat, he ran for his life in hiding on the grassland, hid in the low-lying grass with 100 brothers during the day, but did not dare to sleep. At night, he fled to the east at the risk of being attacked by wild animals and found by wolves. It took him a month to escape to langrushan.
But when he arrived, he found that the northwest of the great Sui Dynasty was over.
Fortunately, the soldiers who survived the defeat gradually gained a foothold in langrushan under the leadership of Yang Kai, king of Xujun. He was also promoted to the fifth grade general because of his military skills. Later, he finally realized his dream.
He became a cavalry general!
Behind him, a soldier held up a big flag. The black flag is embroidered with a red ribbed cheetah with two wings. It is fierce and cold.
Flying Leopard army!
"Step over the enemy line!"
Liu Xuri flattened the long face in his hand, and there was a thrilling coldness in the roaring voice.
Once again he saw the infantry being trampled by cavalry, but this time... He became the strong one.
……
……
"The general and cavalry have caught the rout and the Nanyan army!"
The herald came flying, hugged his fist and thanked the other party for the war.
Fang Xie nodded and ordered: "Let Liu Xuri and Xia Hou attack the enemy according to the previous tactics, but don't kill them on the spot and force the Nanyan army to move towards Qingyuan City and move the battlefield towards Qingyuan City. Remember, don't attack the enemy's middle army so quickly. As long as the enemy's flag doesn't fall, the people in the city may send troops to meet them again. That is to let the people in Qingyuan City go out in batches Come on, all entangled! "
"Here!"
The herald took orders and left.
"Let the baggage camp cross the river!"
Fang Xie waved his hand and ordered that at this time, nothing could threaten the baggage camp on the South Bank of Jinshui River.
The auxiliary soldiers and civilian men helped the soldiers of the baggage camp to cross the river with a large number of siege equipment. At this time, the splicing pontoon equipped by the soldiers of the great Sui Dynasty came into use. The large siege equipment needed a pontoon of sufficient width to pass, and the splicing pontoon of the soldiers of the great Sui Dynasty could bear it.
The naked auxiliary soldiers jumped into the river with ropes tied to them, and then began to pile up and fix the pontoon bridge. Carriages pulled all kinds of equipment that had not been assembled across the river. For the first time in history, the Jinshui River was so busy. This was the first time in nearly 200 years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the army of the Central Plains crossed the Jinshui River and marched further south.
It's like the soldiers of the great Sui Dynasty advanced into the south of the Yangtze River and the southwest.
The demolished City hammers and stone throwing carts were pulled across the river by carriages. When the number of carriages was not enough, people carried them. The team grew stronger and stronger. A large number of infantry gathered on the north bank drove orderly towards the south bank under the command of the generals of each battalion. The team began to move after a simple assembly on the south bank. The team moving hand in hand on a plain looked so majestic and powerful.
Fang Xie urged the white lion to run up a high slope. He couldn't help feeling excited when he watched his team advance. This was the first active attack by the black flag army against the foreign enemy since the establishment of the black flag army. On the grassland, the black flag army's light riding attack against the barbarians. If it was mainly training, this time would be an unstoppable aggression.
The big city called Qingyuan is a test stone for the black flag army!
Xia Hou Baichuan and Liu Xuri's cavalry cut the Nanyan army one by one. The already messy Nanyan array was divided into countless small pieces. Hundreds of Nanyan soldiers fought by themselves. Everyone was in despair. They watched the cavalry passing by one by one, and then cut down the distant colleagues one by one from the back.
The back was handed over to the enemy, and there was only one.
"We have to let the team slow down!"
Xiahou Baichuan urged his horse to find Liu Xuri: "if we continue to kill like this, it won't take much. The people of Nanyan will collapse completely. The general's plan is to lure more Nanyan troops out of the city to save them and wipe out the enemy's main force outside the city. Our speed must slow down!"
Liu Xuri nodded and shouted to the heralds to blow the horn to reorganize the attack. For a moment, he couldn't see the charging cavalry in front of him. The remaining Nanyan soldiers subconsciously ran towards the crowded place and soon gathered together again. They just felt that the crowded place might be safer.
Stark clenched his teeth, pulled out the crossbow and arrow on his shoulder and looked around. The cavalry running back and forth outside the team drove his team closer together.
"Something's wrong!"
He found Fu Zhengming with pain: "second master, I see something wrong with this situation! Just now the cavalry of the black flag army has cut our team and can swallow all our people in less than half an hour, but why did the cavalry of the black flag army go out again? They deliberately asked us to regroup!"
Although Fu Zhengming was not hurt, his face was even worse than that of stark. He glanced at the city less than two miles away and twitched involuntarily at the corners of his mouth: "Fang Xie, this is to use us as bait... Lead brother to continue sending troops for rescue... They didn't take advantage of the situation to defeat us in one breath in order to deceive more people out of the city."
There was an unspeakable fear in Stark's eyes, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat: "if the city Lord sends troops to save, they will take the opportunity to surround more people. Fang Xie, the devil is going to fight with us outside the city... But if the city Lord doesn't send someone to save..."
He glanced at Fu Zhengming and found that the other party's eyes in the direction of Qingyuan City were full of fear and pain.
In Qingyuan City, Fu Zhengnan, standing on the city wall, felt the same pain. He subconsciously covered his chest and tried to alleviate the pain in this way. But this pain is not trauma at all. How can it be stopped?
"City Lord! What to do!"
A general asked with a pale face, "if you don't send troops to save the second master, it will be dangerous!"
"Send troops?"
Fu Zhengnan slowly shook his head: "send troops again, and Fang Xie will swallow them all in one breath... Second brother... It's the eldest brother who is sorry for you. When we get together below in the future, the eldest brother will kowtow and admit his mistake!"
He raised his head fiercely and shouted in a sad voice: "close all the city gates! Whoever dares to lead troops out of the city will be killed! Block the north gate, east gate and west gate, leaving only the south gate!"
On a high slope
No more rescuers came out of Qingyuan City. Fang Xie put down his eyes and sighed slightly: "Fu Zhengnan... Is a cruel role."
