Chapter 1059: Hold on and Wait for Help
Now the opportunity has finally presented itself.
"Order the 1st Regiment in the North, the 2nd Regiment in the East, the 3rd Regiment in the West, and the 4th Regiment in the rear, to form an effective defense mechanism, and to be ready to attack at any time under my orders." Lu Zhuo shouted a little excitedly, he couldn't wait to kill it.
To be honest, he was somewhat angry when he learned that Xiao Nanming's army actually wanted to surround him. This is clearly looking down on himself, even if this is the case, of course he has to give the other party a good look, so that they also know that the first division is not so easy to bully.
At the same time, the telegram was sent to Yang Chendong, who was in the Lang Son Yuan Detention Center, and at this moment it was not only the 1st Cavalry Division that sent the telegram, but also the 1st Cavalry Division of the World and the Interracial Coalition Army.
The 100,000 horses of the alien alliance have already begun to attack Siming Mansion. Everything went very smoothly, no enemy reinforcements were encountered, and there were no variables in attacking a city with only 20,000 defenders with 100,000 men. All that matters now is time.
However, the content of the telegram of the first cavalry division of the world is a little strange, according to what Tian Hu said, when they came to Linchen, the small Nanming army here had already retreated to the city, and then they swept around the periphery for a while, except for some people stranded here, they did not encounter an army, giving people a feeling of hitting the cotton with a heavy punch, which was a little uncomfortable.
Tian Hu felt that something was wrong, so he sent a telegram asking what to do next, after all, it was a pity that a sharp weapon released could not cut the opponent.
Yang Chendong was also puzzled by this telegram, and intuitively told him that if something went wrong, he was a demon, and Xiao Nan Mingjun must have something in mind, but what was the purpose, he was also puzzled.
It was at this time that the telegram from the 1st Cavalry Division came, and when he learned that there was an enemy there and the number was unknown, Yang Chendong suddenly sobered up and said: "It's not good, the opponent is going to attack the 1st Cavalry Division." ”
"Young master, let's go to the rescue." Yang Er, who was following him, had already had itchy hands, and when he heard that there was finally a battle to fight, he took the initiative to ask.
"I'm afraid it's too late." Yang Chendong didn't agree immediately, but came to the sand table, looked at the distance between the two sides, and then shook his head. The cavalry that followed him was only a thousand black horsemen, and the rest were the main force of the Seventh Division, but they didn't have the help of war horses, so it was impossible to be too fast, if they just ran on their legs, I was afraid that before they arrived on the battlefield, the First Cavalry Division would have been hit hard.
Hearing Yang Chendong say that it was too late, Yang Er's heart sank, and then asked, "Young Master, why don't you send Commander Tian Hu to the rescue?" ”
Yang Chendong wanted to say very much, even if the other party was targeting the First Cavalry Division, it was impossible not to send someone to keep an eye on the First Cavalry Division in the world, and sending him to rescue was afraid that it would be dangerous for him, but when he thought that it was not too far to go to Linchen from here, a rescue plan soon began to come true in his mind.
"Yes, immediately send a telegram to Tian Hu, ask him to send the main force to support the 1st Cavalry Division, and tell him that if someone blocks it, don't be afraid, young master, I will immediately lead troops to support them." In addition, he sent a telegram to Division Commander Lu Zhuo, telling him not to be reckless and concentrate his troops to wait for reinforcements. Yang Chendong said to Wang Shan, the telegraph operator who was following on the side, and then beckoned Yang Er to gather the black horse, and at the same time notified Lu Qishi to assemble quickly.
The telegram was sent out quickly, and Tian Hu, who received the order, did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered Liu Duo, the commander of the second regiment, the commander of the third regiment, Ku Xiao'er, and the commander of the fourth regiment, Bai Shuang, to take his subordinates to the direction of Yongji City. The three regimental commanders with six thousand cavalry turned their horses and prepared to leave. It was at this moment that the gate of Linchen City in front of him opened, and the soldiers of the Xiaonan Ming Army began to pour out from there.
Needless to say, they saw that the first cavalry division of the world wanted to leave, so they rushed out and wanted to entangle them.
"Commander, what should I do?" Liu Duo, the commander of the second regiment, saw that the enemy had taken the initiative to go out of the city, so he was a little hesitant whether to carry out the previous order.
"Don't worry so much, do what you are told." Tian Hu narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Nanmingjun who appeared on the opposite side, with a trace of murderous aura exposed. It was learned from the intelligence that the number of enemy troops on the opposite side was only 20,000, and that the 1 regiment and 5 regiments of 4,000 cavalry left behind by him were enough to deal with it. Not to mention that the sixth young master has already said that he will bring people to support him, so what is there to fear?
Knowing that the division commander had made up his mind, the three regiment commanders glanced at each other, then raised their horse whips and led their cavalry out of the battlefield and headed straight towards Yongji City.
"Everyone listen to the order, check the bow and arrows for swords." Tian Hu licked his lips, although there were only four thousand cavalry around him, he was still full of confidence, as long as Xiao Nanming's army dared to rush over, he wouldn't mind teaching the other party a lesson.
Let's talk about Lu Zhuo's department. The four regiments under his command were ready to defend on all sides, and even to attack at any time, when Yang Chendong's telegram came. After reading the content, although he was still a little indignant, thinking that this was because the sixth young master did not believe in the strength of the First Cavalry Division, but the military order was difficult to disobey, and he still issued the decision that the whole army should not take the initiative to defend itself.
The facts quickly told him how right it was to follow Yang Chendong's orders. Because soon Lu Zhuo found that there were more and more enemies surrounding him. Among them are also cavalry and Miao soldiers with a fierce face holding Miao swords.
When the scouts kept retreating and the information came in their ears, Lu Zhuo's face finally changed, and the number of enemies surrounding him reached 100,000 infantry and 15,000 cavalry. This number is very unexpected, and it is conceivable that if he had taken the initiative to attack just now, what would have been the result, I am afraid that the entire First Cavalry Division would have been wiped out here.
Taking a strong breath and calming himself down, Lu Zhuo shouted to the cavalry soldiers beside him: "Don't panic, everyone, the sixth young master already knows about the matter here, the first cavalry division of the world is rushing to us for reinforcements, as long as you can hold on for a while, you can wait until the reinforcements appear." ”
The name of the sixth young master was spoken, which greatly boosted the morale of the whole division. In the eyes of the soldiers, Yang Chendong has become an omnipotent existence, even if he knows the situation here, presumably as long as he can persevere, he will definitely find a chance to live.
Bows and arrows were drawn, swords hung on the side of their horses, and the 8,400 cavalry warriors looked at the enemy coming from all directions with blazing eyes, and their eyes showed a determined look of fighting to the end.
Wu Yingtou and Rajiv, who surrounded them, had a slight look of regret on their faces, and they did not wait for the other party's initiative to attack, which was somewhat disappointing. But so what? With more than ten times the strength of the other party, they were still confident that they could wipe out this cavalry enemy.
Wu Yingtou, who was afraid of long nights and dreams, and didn't want to wait any longer, gave orders at the same time as Rajiv, and more than 100,000 troops slowly advanced, constantly shrinking the encirclement, with the idea of encircling the first cavalry division here and annihilating it.
In the face of absolute strength, any promise and trickery is just in vain. Half an hour later, when the distance between the two sides was less than a mile, shouts of killing broke out, and the infantry of the Xiaonan Ming Army took the lead in attacking.
"Alternate arrows, and strive to kill and injure more enemies while conserving physical strength." Lu Zhuo showed the characteristics of a good general, and in the face of the grim situation, he was not afraid, but on the contrary, he was very calm. At his command, bows and arrows shot out in volleys and landed in the camp of the rushing enemy, wailing and screaming continuously.
At a distance of less than a mile, the stubborn cavalry released five waves of bows and arrows, and after killing about a thousand enemies, the cavalry of the first cavalry division began to move, and the war horses galloped and collided with the soldiers of the Xiaonan Ming Army who rushed towards them, and the bloody atmosphere filled and filled the air, emitting a bad smell.
It was destined to be a war without victory. Under the congestion of people everywhere, the range of movement of the cavalry was constantly narrowed. Unable to give full play to their strengths, the advantage of the cavalry was infinitely reduced, and the 1st Cavalry Division began to suffer casualties.
Fortunately, the morale of the soldiers of the Xiaonan Ming Army was not very high, when they rushed up with a numerical advantage, thinking that they could drown the first cavalry division with a rush up, they encountered a strong counterattack, especially those soldiers who rushed in front were either killed by arrows, or were cut in two by sharp sabers, when this terrifying scene appeared, the soldiers of the Xiaonan Ming Army retreated, and their morale began to waver.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the 1st Cavalry Division took a breath, and the bow and arrow were sent out again, expanding the results of victory.
......
Under Linchen City, 50,000 Xiaonan Ming troops rushed out from all directions.
Unexpectedly, there were only 20,000 enemies, but at some point, there were 30,000 more enemy soldiers. 4,000 to 50,000, a difference of more than 10 times in strength, made the pressure on the first cavalry division of the world begin to increase. But in the face of all this, Division Commander Tian Hu was not moved, in his eyes, the enemy is used to kill, and there is no difference between one enemy and ten enemies.
The war horse galloped wildly, not retreating and counterattacking. Tian Hu acted as the tip of an arrow, and led dozens of cavalry to kill the oncoming Southern Ming army. At the same time, there were hundreds of other arrow-sharp formations, shouting and screaming that the two armies were killed together, and the corpses were all over the field.
This is the first time that Xiao Nan Mingjun has seen the formation of the tip of the arrow, and the moment he first came into contact, he was stunned. When the formations chiseled through the impact of the Xiaonan Ming army and disrupted their military formation, the other party was forced to change from attack to defense, even so, it was still heavy casualties. If it weren't for the fact that the advantage in military strength was large enough, I am afraid that there would be a possibility of collapse now.
The cavalry still has a lot of advantages over the infantry. For example, in terms of speed, strength, and flexibility. In addition, every soldier of the First Division of the Cavalry in the world is carefully selected, and they are all experienced veterans who have endured countless bloody battles.
