Chapter 206

"Newspaper!"

A cavalry sentry in front of us galloped in and reported, "in the middle of the country, we found the enemy in front of us."

Cheng Qiu frowns: "how many enemies are there? Who is the leader?"

The sentry replied, "the number of enemy troops should be about ten thousand. There is a word" Yan "written on the commander-in-chief's flag, but we don't know who it is."

"Yan character?" Cheng Qiu says something in his mouth, but a puzzled look flashed in his eyes.

"It's said that Han Sui's son-in-law is named Yan Xing. Is that the man who led the army? It is said that this man is quite brave. " Huang Yan, the governor of Jiuquan, replied.

"Yan Xing?" Cheng Qiu frowns and says to the sentry, "go again."

The sentry flies away, and Cheng Qiu says to Huang Yan: "Huang Jun Shou, you lead your army to flank. Later, the enemy comes slowly. A certain army leads to fight. Huang Jun Shou leads his army to attack the enemy. How about it?"

Huang Yan nodded: "let Cheng Zhizhong decide everything."

"Well, that's it." Cheng Qiu nods, then grabs the reins with both hands and looks carefully at the front. He is waiting for the arrival of the war at any time. He must not bear the heavy trust of the governor.

A black line appeared at the junction of heaven and earth. Then the black line became thicker and thicker, and finally the prototype appeared.

Step on it!

Tens of thousands of steeds moved like mountains, covering the land in darkness, and countless horses joined together. It was like a giant beast slowly galloping on the ground, opening its big mouth to swallow everything in the world in its mouth.

A black Yan character stands the flag in the middle of the array, waving in the wind. Under the general flag, a general wearing black helmets and black armor, galloping in the wind, is Yan Xing.

Yan Xing took a look and saw the yellow flag next to Cheng's flag. He couldn't help laughing.

"Speed up, speed up, crush the enemy!"

Yan Xing whistled, his spear pointed to the middle of a big flag Cheng, behind him nearly ten thousand iron cavalry roared from the scene, surging, mighty toward the enemy on the opposite.

This army is a uniform cavalry of ten thousand people. Even if the northwest is the place where horses are produced, it is not easy to gather up more than ten thousand cavalry. Han Sui's nearly 100000 army is only 30000 cavalry, and the remaining 70000 are infantry soldiers, and he specially allocated 10000 iron cavalry to his son-in-law.

In contrast, although the number of Liangzhou allied forces on the opposite side was 15000, which was half more than Yan's March, the total number of cavalry of the two armies was 7000, and the remaining 8000 were infantry soldiers.

Among Cheng Qiu's 5000 soldiers, there are 3000 riders and 2000 footmen. Seeing tens of thousands of cavalry coming at a gallop, Cheng Qiu quickly puts the infantry behind the cavalry and puts the cavalry on the front.

The horse of Liangzhou is popular all over the world. The iron horse of Xiliang has been brave and good at fighting since ancient times. Compared with it, the pawn is vulnerable.

"Assault!"

Cheng Qiu also ordered 3000 cavalry to launch a surprise attack. After all, cavalry relied on the impact force. Most of the cavalry in this era were light cavalry. The correct use should be to harass. If they were directly used to attack the enemy, they would be crushed by the strong infantry formation. Gongsun Zan's white horse Yicong was an example in the battle of Jieqiao.

Three thousand cavalry rushed forward. Yan Xing's ten thousand and three thousand cavalry were getting closer and closer. Yan Xing couldn't help but roar.

"Kill!"

Bang!

The two armies collided head-on with each other, and Yan Xing was the first to enter the battle. The cavalry of both sides confronted each other, waving their long and narrow sabers and cutting into each other's chest.

Not only were the cavalry on horseback fighting with each other, but even the fighting horses occasionally mixed their feet. When they saw a guy who was not pleasing to the eye, they immediately opened their mouth and bit them.

However, there were a large number of Yan's marches, and some fierce generals such as Yan Xing led in person. Therefore, Cheng Qiu's 3000 steeds were defeated and retreated.

Yan Xing's spear swept from side to side, and with one shot, he knocked a cavalry off his horse. He had already picked out seven or eight Liangzhou soldiers on his way to kill alone.

Although the 3000 cavalry soon fell into a decline, but these are also expected, after all, the enemy is more than three times their own.

Although Cheng Qiu was in the middle of the rule, he lived in the frontier fortress for a long time, but he was quite military. Although Yan Xing led his cavalry to break through the barrier of 3000 iron cavalry, as long as the garrison of Jiuquan County intercepted and killed from the side in time, and 2000 infantry soldiers met him, the two armies would have a chance to win.

Because once the cavalry gets into chaos, they lose their impact and mobility. Without these two advantages, the cavalry is not necessarily better than the infantry.

But Cheng Qiu looks at Huang Yan's troops on the right. Why doesn't he attack at this time?

"Wave the flag and inform the Yellow prefect to send troops immediately!"

Cheng Qiu gives the order, and the flag bearer immediately shakes the flag to the left and right to signal the friendly forces on the other side to cooperate in the battle. However, Huang Yan stands still and does not seem to be able to see the flag waving.

Just when Cheng Qiu can't bear to send his scouts to inform Huang Yan directly, the Jiuquan garrison finally moves slowly.Seeing 5000 cavalry galloping out like a flash of lightning tearing through the clouds, Cheng can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As the five thousand cavalry get closer and closer, Cheng suddenly finds something wrong. How could the cavalry of Jiuquan County get closer and closer to his 2000 step soldiers if they didn't fight head-on into Yan Xing's cavalry.

The remaining two thousand troopers didn't think much about it. After all, how could friendly forces rush directly towards themselves?

However, with the distance getting closer and closer, Cheng finally couldn't help but shout: "line up! Form a dense array of swords and shields and erect shields with hands. Quick

Two thousand soldiers were stunned, but most of them did not listen to Cheng Qiu's advice. Only a few soldiers with strong vigilance set up their shields and stood ready.

But when the 2000 troopers were in disarray, the five thousand garrisons sprang up straight, like a huge hand, and slapped it hard on the array.

Boom!

It was just a shock, and the two thousand troopers were suddenly knocked out of their wits.

We are not friendly. Why don't they attack the rebels but kill us?

Under the control of the unknown thoughts of the enemy and ourselves, when the 5000 cavalry troops entered the battle, the 2000 troopers did not even raise their swords to resist and directly broke up.

"Don't mess up, get close to someone and resist in formation."

Although Cheng Qiu tried his best to shout, there were only more than 500 soldiers gathered around him. After all, most of the soldiers were scattered by the cavalry and fled to the other side. After all, a brave man could not stop the cavalry from rushing forward.
