On the vast plain, Kuang Guoliang was wearing a battle armor, and his long horses were dragged behind him. The cavalry rushed on the ground, raising dust in the sky.
"Hey, roar!" The cavalry controlled the horses, chanting loud chants from their mouths, and then took out their bows one by one, bent their bows and shot them backwards with arrows.
The Central Plains Army had encircled Kuang Guoliang’s cavalry a day ago. Tan Lei was a veteran of war. He encircled Kuang Liangguo with cavalry, and then quickly divided and encircled Kuang Liangguo’s 10,000 men and horses. .
The only thing he didn't expect was that Kuang Liangguo's leadership was different from other people. He was a master who violated conventions and played cards according to common sense.
If someone else’s army is divided into several parts, it will definitely be finished in an instant. However, Kuang Liangguo’s soldiers have become accustomed to fighting separately. After being divided and surrounded, not only did they not collapse, but they played more flexible and turned faster.
Don't the cavalry fight fast? The world's martial arts is only fast. Kuang Liangguo's cavalry are all light and fast horses. Even if they are besieged, they turn around very fast, come and go like wind, and they can't catch it for a while.
Tan Lei’s choice of battlefield is Ma Sangkou, which is exactly what Kuang Liang’s country likes. In fact, Kuang Liang’s country is very happy, but this person really has a set of battles. The cavalry style is also very characteristic. The so-called talented people are bold. This No, when the two sides played against each other, although Kuangzi was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, and the battle situation seemed precarious, it was not easy for Tan Lei to defeat Kuangzi easily.
The two sides fought for a day and a night. Tan Lei counted that three or four thousand people died on his side, and his opponent had only lost a few thousand cavalry. In this count, it turned out to be one thousand kills and eight hundred self-inflicted.
In the army account, Tan Lei was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He smashed his own treasure tripod and screamed, "I have fought a lifetime battle with Tan Lei. Turkic people have fought, but this is the first time such a shameful battle has been fought.
We surrounded our opponents with more than 10,000 horses, and we couldn't attack them for a long time. Even if we didn't use weapons, we only used our mouths, and we bite these **** to death! But as for you, there are more people who die by yourself than your opponents. If this is spread, wouldn't it make the people of the world laugh at it? "
"Master, this Kuang Liangguo is Lu Zheng's confidant and beloved general. This person is notoriously unreasonable in his use of soldiers. They are all wild ways. We can hardly use conventional tactics to deal with these characters, just like now. In this way, we think it must be defeated, but maybe this person is just good at this kind of play, but we are passive!"
Tan Lei snorted and said furiously: "That's stinky fart! I think the root cause is that you are incompetent. You think you have a chance to win, but the opponent you face is too strong, but you lose your spirit. On the contrary, I suffer, it really makes people laugh out of their teeth!"
"The prince is calm, and the one named Kuang will be defeated in this battle! This Lu Zheng's cavalry is indeed quite brave. Before, outside of Huazhou City, it is said that General Cao was teased by more than 100 scout cavalry under Lu Zheng! General Cao! The tens of thousands of horses under his hand simply did not stop these more than a hundred people. After this battle, General Cao felt timid, and then Huazhou City fell. If not, General Cao would be able to take the initiative to defend according to the Lord’s will. , Maybe Huazhou City is still in our hands now!"
When he said this, there was an uproar in the account, and Tan Lei's face was also very gloomy, because he knew it at this time, but because it was fearful of hurting morale, he never said it publicly.
Now that it is said in the account, is it that everyone knows that Lu Zheng's cavalry is powerful? He didn't expect Lu Zheng's cavalry to deal with the bitterness in Tan Lei's heart.
People in the Central Plains have always said that Liaodong's iron cavalry is great, but this is nothing to say to others. Isn't that nonsense to say to Tan Lei? Tan Lei is the origin of the orthodox Liaodong iron cavalry. To say that the cavalry is powerful, Tan Lei really does not believe that Lu Zheng's foundation of the Nanfu Army can train a cavalry comparable to his Liaodong iron cavalry!
But now when the two sides fight, Tan Lei knows that it’s not the case. Lu Zheng’s cavalry took the road of the Northwest cavalry, and the most powerful Northwest cavalry was naturally the father and son of the Song family. Song Wensong has been in the Liaodong nest for so long. Have you all shown your allegiance to Lu Zheng?
The strongest part of the Northwest cavalry is that the horse is strong and light. If it is hard to ride heavily, the difference between the Liaodong and the Northwest cavalry is not much, but if it is compared with the light cavalry, the Northwest cavalry will be far from the Liaodong cavalry. Song Naifeng's original cavalry equipment, it can be said that the Northwest battlefield has undergone a great reshuffle.
And this is exactly what Tan Lei ignored! The Northwest Army's tactics of running if they didn't win were fully displayed in this Ma Sangkou. Kuang Zi is a master, but can Tan Lei still retire now? At this point, even if it is a bowl of raw rice, it has to be eaten.
"No matter how difficult I am, I will give you one more day anyway, and I must destroy Kuang Liangguo within one day. If not, I will ask you for it!" Tan Lei screamed.
I have to say that Tan Lei's roar is very effective. On that day, the cavalry under his hand went crazy and surrounded Kuang Liangguo from all aspects. This battle became extremely **** and brutal. The cavalry of Kuang Liangguo suffered heavy casualties, but the two rivers around Ma Sangkou became his life-saving straw.
These two rivers divided this large plain into several sections. Kuang Liangguo’s cavalry was able to cross the river. Whenever they were in danger, they would cross the river. Although there were casualties, they were able to turn the danger into a disaster, making Tan Lei’s offensive shortcomings. The strangling battle has been delayed without a result.
The longer time dragged on, Tan Lei's heart became more panicked. As a battle-tested veteran, Tan Lei knew very well that Lu Zheng would never sit back and die. Lu Zheng could play a lot more cards than him. At this time, Lu Zheng's main force will be For what?
"My lord, maybe at this time Lu Zheng's army has already arrived near Miaocheng. After all, Cao Weiming didn't clear it, let him looting near Miaocheng, and even the prefecture might be threatened. As a result, the Liaodong Army's grain road was even more unable to maintain Without food, how can the Central Plains fight?" The counselor saw through Tan Lei's mind and immediately came to comfort him.
Tan Lei nodded and sighed: "I hope so! We must not be entangled by our opponents, otherwise it will be dangerous!"
At the critical moment, Tan Lei's mind is still a dead fellow, but Cao Weiming is over. As long as he can buy him the opportunity and time, that's the best!
As long as Lu Zheng could not successfully go south and smashed his halberd in Huazhou and Wangzhou, Tan Lei could easily return to his teacher. Of course, Hebei would fall into his hands by that time.
With the land of Hebei, Tan Lei will be able to unify the Central Plains within a few years, and those who win the Central Plains will gain the world. Tan Lei is now trapped in the capital and it is not easy to do anything, but after taking the capital and the entire Central Plains into his bag, The situation has completely changed!
"Report, urgent report, report to the prince!"
The guard outside the door suddenly rushed in, looking at its appearance, panicked and incoherent! Tan Lei, who was already in his heart, jumped into his mouth suddenly, and he blurted out: "What's the matter? Speak slowly, the sky can't fall down!"
"God, the heaven has come down! That cunning and treacherous surname Lu unexpectedly attacked Wangzhou, the army surrounded Wangzhou City Tuantuan, and Wangzhou City was broken right now..."
"What?" Tan Lei took a deep breath, his eyes widened, his eyeballs almost falling out of his sockets: "How is this possible? We handed over all the routes leading to Wangzhou, his soldiers. How did it pass? Could it be impossible to fly over from under the sky?"
"According to...According to the report from the scout! In the past few days, the army besieged Kuang Liangguo. Lu Zheng's army broke through Ma Sangkou during the night without any stay here. The army directly attacked Wangzhou and tried to take Wangzhou. , Let’s do it with us again, Kuang Liang’s army is...just a trap!"
Tan Lei was immediately stunned, his hands and feet were completely cold, how to fight this battle? Once Wangzhou missed, the road to the south was blocked. The Central Plains Army had no way of retreating south. Then between Bingzhou and Wangzhou, the Liaodong Army and the Central Plains Army had to die and live!
Tan Lei felt chills in his heart. He knew very well that the Central Plains Army was far behind the Liaodong Army in terms of number and combat power. If there was to be a decisive battle, the Central Plains Army had to choose a favorable opportunity. Otherwise, this battle would not be possible.
Originally, in the process of fighting wits and courage between the two sides, the Central Plains Army had already gained the upper hand. As long as the Central Plains Army held back time, the Liaodong Army had to fail to cut off food and grass. However, the situation on the battlefield often changed rapidly. Under extremely unfavorable circumstances, Lu Zheng unexpectedly let go, the army passed by Ma Sangkou without saving Kuang Liangguo, and directly looked at the state.
We must know that most of Tan Lei’s military rations are in Wangzhou, and Wangzhou is a hub connecting Hebei and Beijing to the south. Once Wangzhou is lost, Tan Lei’s army will become rootless duckweed. With shortcomings, this result can be imagined.
"Could it be the heavens|I can't kill me Tan Lei?" Tan Lei yelled up to the sky.
"Master, at this moment, the outcome is still uncertain. Lu Zheng's risk-taking does not mean that he has absolute certainty. We have a lot of defenders in Wangzhou. At this time, we quickly rushed to meet and cooperate with the outside, and Lu Zheng may not necessarily How much advantage can it occupy..."
Tan Lei raised his brows and was about to speak. The confidant Qin Xuan said, "Master, if Wangzhou is lost, our food road will be broken, and the opponent’s food road will be alive. The reversal of combat power is even more a psychological reversal! We lose Wangzhou, and this battle will be defeated. Therefore, Wangzhou must not be lost!"
Tan Lei took a deep breath, his heart shook, and said decisively: "According to me, I will order the whole army to turn to Wangzhou. We will fight just outside Wangzhou city!"
