Liu Bu's army appeared at the foot of Nanpi City, which shocked the Tianxiong army and even the confident Lu Xiangsheng.
Heavy snow blocked the road. Even if the other party may send troops, it is impossible to send such a powerful army. You know, such a powerful army, thousands of cavalry, this is no joke.
The snow closed the road. Where are they going? How do I get there? Even if they can go, they can still appear on his wings silently, which shows that the other party has done a very good job in confidentiality and has the plan to wipe them out. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng is afraid. He knows that it is a critical moment of life and death. He personally pulled out his sword and ordered the soldiers to form a military array to prepare for the impact of the other party.
General Lu will be promoted to the front line.
Tianxiong army has always been on the offensive side. In order to attack Nanpi city and win this strong city, who knows, it began to reverse in just half a day, from the offensive side to the defensive side.
If other armies were faced with such a situation, I'm afraid they would soon collapse, but Tianxiong army was extremely elite and strict military discipline. They immediately made adjustments.
Under the command of officers at all levels, they hurriedly made adjustments.
But they also know that the present is very dangerous and deadly. If they can't resist the impact of Liu Jun, they will be finished.
Even if the Tianxiong army is united, everyone is willing to work hard, but in the face of the pressure of the enemy soldiers, they can't help feeling panic. They have been fighting in the field for a long time, and they are very tired. When they are very tired, they have to fight with the cavalry of the Liu family army, which is known as the elite in the world. This is really fatal.
No soldier felt relaxed. No soldier felt easy. They all swallowed saliva and trembled. Under the command of the officer, they formed an array and prepared to resist the impact of Liu Jiajun.
After Liu Jiajun's cavalry appeared on both wings, they didn't launch a fierce attack immediately, not because they were kind-hearted, but because they rushed for a long time. There were straggling and scattered soldiers. Now they are waiting to gather the scattered horses to form an impact. More importantly, after a long-distance attack, their horses and soldiers, The physical strength is almost exhausted. At this time, launch an impact, which is called the end of a powerful crossbow. The potential can't rush Lu chime.
On the one hand, they lined up. On the other hand, they took out dry food and army cakes and began to feed their horses. They also ate and launched a strong attack on the array. Both horses and people must maintain sufficient physical strength. Otherwise, when you rush into the enemy's array, you have no strength and fall into the enemy's array. This is a really fatal thing, which is equivalent to giving your own life.
So on the one hand, they let the horses rest and eat. On the other hand, they eat to make up for their physical strength. This is not that they stop, but the beginning of a more fierce offensive.
All the soldiers of Tianxiong army knew this. They were all terrified and had to protect themselves.
But everyone feels frightened and flustered. How can the temporarily formed military array resist the enemy's elite cavalry?
If they are ready, they set up a lot of obstacles by using carts, fences, antlers, horse resistance, traps and other things, which can really resist the impact of the enemy cavalry. Don't say that he is an invited Mongolian mercenary, even if the real Mongolian iron cavalry comes, they will have to break their heads and bleed in front of their army.
But now it's different. They are in a hurry to change from attack to defense. They don't have any defensive weapons.
How can such a military array resist the world-famous Liu's iron cavalry.
Everyone knows that they are at an absolute disadvantage today. It depends on how many people can withstand the impact of Liu's iron cavalry, and how many people can be born?
Lu Xiangsheng also knew that the iron cavalry of the other party was gathering strength and making a fatal blow at any time.
He had no choice but to block the enemy and retreat calmly. If he saw the enemy's iron cavalry, knew the trick and retreated immediately, it was estimated that his army would collapse.
The retreat turned into a great rout. The other party chased them with their tails, but they would kill them all. Even if the Tianxiong army he had worked hard to train was explained here.
Since the Tianxiong army became an army, they have fought for several years. They are very experienced. Everyone knows that today is an extremely dangerous time. If they don't fight hard and fight to the death, they have to explain here.
Moreover, Liu Jun's cavalry were preparing to attack, and the defenders in their city did not sit idly by.
They coordinated through the flag. In recent days, the gate of Nanpi city has been closed to resist the attack of Tianxiong army, but then they opened the gate and a team of musketeers lined up from inside.
These are their elite Musketeers. They have sent out nearly 2500 in total, which is estimated to be the last mobile force in the city. Their Musketeers will attack the front of Tianxiong army from the front.
The Musketeers inside moved quickly, and the iron cavalry on both wings were ready.
The defensive strength of Tianxiong army is far from enough. They are not sure whether their temporary military array can resist the impact of the enemy.
Their military formation is relatively simple. They just let some long gunmen and knife shield hands form a whole queue and put their long guns in front. They hope that these dense long guns can block the impact of the enemy's iron cavalry.
According to the standard configuration, a large number of archers should be equipped behind the long gunmen. These archers will shoot arrows when the enemy rushes into the position to cover the long gunmen and weaken the impact of the other party. However, during the siege of the city these days, a large number of their archers fought and fought with the Ming archers in the city, resulting in heavy losses, At the end of the battle, there are not enough archers to defend, which makes more people despair.
Moreover, their tactics have always been aimed at the impact of Liu Jun's cavalry, so they deployed long Gunners on the periphery, hoping to rely on these long guns to block the impact of Liu Jun's cavalry.
However, after seeing Liu Jun's Musketeers out of the city, they all changed their tactics, that is, they lined up the knife and shield hands in the front row, hoping that the shield of the knife and shield hands can play a certain role in covering. After fighting for a few days, they knew the power of Liu Jun's Musketeers, and the other party came in large numbers, but they could kill you.
The Ming army's musketeers are fixed to fight, but Liu Jun's Musketeers can line up and shoot at the same time, that is, they have the ability to attack, which makes them afraid. They worry that when they resist the impact of Liu Jun's cavalry, they will have to face the rage of Liu Jun's Musketeers.
This change made them more chaotic. Seeing this situation, Lu Xiangsheng began to order important personnel to clean up and be ready to retreat at any time.
In fact, without Lu Xiangsheng's order, some of his men have begun to pack their bags one after another, because they know that Liu Jiajun's army can appear here, which means that they can send an army to support Nanpi at any time. They estimated that the other party was unable to support Nanpi before.
Even if Zhang Dajun is left, they may not be afraid, but now it's different. Their nine palace Nanpi Bodhisattva has become a master without merit. How can they face the impact of the fried army
Such an outcome was unexpected to many people, even Lu Xiangsheng. Therefore, regardless of his identity, he rode up in person and ordered the soldiers to form an array layer by layer, hoping to use a huge array to block the impact of the enemy.
The enemy is the cavalry of the army, which is also a new force. If they don't resist and defeat the other party and let the other party chase them all the way, they will only have a dead end.
Such a situation really made him feel cold at heart. He studied Liu Bu's use of troops. Liu Bu's use of troops had no tricks and tricks. He always rolled them with strength, which made him laugh sometimes. It was too bad. He wouldn't fight with tricks and tricks at all.
However, after fighting many wars, he found that in fact, fighting does not need so many tricks at all. You have the strength to win with strength. What their army pays attention to is reducing ten skills with one force and breaking cleverness with strength.
Liu Bu can't say how wonderful and magical his current skill is. You can find it in any war book, but when the other party uses it, it seems so handy and powerful that he suddenly forced his heavenly hero army to a dead end.
Lu Xiangsheng's worry is mainly because they are now in absolute adversity. There is no need to fight this war. They have been defeated. It depends on how miserable the defeat is. He knows that his route army is planted here. It depends on how many people he can bring back to Cangzhou and even defend Cangzhou?
Moreover, he dared to say that since he had understood, Hong Chengchou, who was more timid than him, certainly did not dare to send troops south to continue to attack the Liu family. The imperial court's strategy of besieging the Liu family was aborted.
Even their elite legions have no way to take the Liu family. The border troops transferred from the border are even more powerless.
Lu Xiangsheng saw that he was in such a dilemma in an instant. What's worse is that the imperial court wants to organize another large-scale encirclement and suppression, and he doesn't know when.
These people are not roving bandits. The imperial army sent thousands of people to chase him and attack him.
Liu Zeqing's 100000 troops were defeated in one day, which will give a great shock to other armies. They all understand that Liu Jiajun is really strong and elite. You can't deal with it with thousands of troops. Unless you send out a heavy army group, there's nothing you can do with him, but the heavy army group of the imperial court, That's not what you say.
Lu Xiangsheng did his best to encourage morale, let the soldiers gather together as much as possible, and rose the last courage to fight the enemy to the death. Today's war is not only for the imperial court, but also for their own lives.
