Chapter 332: Battle Heyang Bridge (I)
"Quick!"
"Quick!"
"Quick!"
The sky is clear and the clouds are quiet, and the cold wind is blowing
On the way from Yiguan to Heyang Bridge, a loud urging sounded
30,000 cavalrymen, red shirts and black armor, like red clouds, violent, like a landslide and a flood of cracks, flowing in waves on the ground
Among the cavalry, Zhang Xuanheng and Xiao Chen were at the front and back of the team, looking anxious, waving their soldiers, and urging the cavalry forward
The war is tense, and the soldiers are fast, and there is no room for delay
What's more, Yiguan is far away from Heyang Bridge, which is a strategic place to connect both sides of the Yellow River
According to Luoyang's cautious character, when the surrounding areas of Luoyang are controlled, heavy troops must be deployed at Heyang Bridge, and if you don't do it well, you will encounter a vicious battle when you cross Heyang Bridge
Therefore, arriving at the Tiger Prison Pass on time, he had to order the army and run wildly along the way
20,000 right guards, 10,000 flying cavalry, and 30,000 soldiers also realized how important today's expedition was to the impact of the war
Riding horses and controlling the strings, the whole army was vigilant, and went south along the way
After three hours of rapid marching, at noon, Zhang Xuanheng led his troops to the north of Heyang Bridge
The cavalry stopped moving, and the dragon was fierce and sat on horseback
Zhang Xuanheng grabbed the iron whip and looked into the distance, observing the situation on the south bank of the Heyang Bridge
Heyang Bridge is near Luoyang, the only passage leading to the river bank in Hebei, dozens of iron cable links, forming a wide bridge, the iron cable is covered with thick wooden planks, passed by the iron cable, firm and strong
The leading place to Henan is mostly hilly, undulating, and it is easy to hide soldiers
Zhang Xuanheng looked at it for a moment, and said cautiously: "Xiao Zhonglang, send the captain to lead a small number of cavalry to the south of Heyang Bridge to investigate"
"Yes!" When Xiao Chen was silent for a while, he grabbed the red tassel spear, took the initiative to ask for it, and said, "General Zhang, the military situation is urgent, and the last general will personally lead the troops forward."
Zhang Xuanheng bowed his head, Xiao Chen turned around and shouted: "Yan Zongmou, lead your elite under your account, and go to the south of Heyang Bridge with Ben Zhonglang to investigate"
For a while, the army was in a commotion, approaching the northern place, two hundred elite cavalry came out, Yan Zongmou led the troops out of the ranks, and went to the south with Xiao Chen
South of Heyang Bridge, Huo Yuandong learned that Zhang Xuanheng led his troops south, and had to lead his troops to lurk in the south of Heyang Bridge in advance, hoping to use the power of nearly 10,000 cavalry to surprise and attack it unprepared, and eliminate Zhang Xuanheng's army
On the south bank, above the soil bag, Huo Yuandong's sharp eyes and sharp arrows stared at the cavalry north of Heyang Bridge
At this time, the deputy general noticed the appearance of the mighty army on the north bank, his face was terrified, and he was very worried, and said: "General, Zhang Xuanheng is leading the troops menacingly, and we may not be able to stop it."
30,000 cavalry, 20,000 are the right guards, they have 10,000 foot cavalry, even if they occupy favorable terrain, in front of several times the enemy's army, they are still hitting stones with eggs, and it is difficult to stop
However, Huo Yuandong listened, turned his head and glared at the adjutant general, and angrily reprimanded: "Hugh wants to grow the morale of others, if you destroy your own prestige, and then affect the morale of the army, the general will behead you."
"Yes!" The adjutant general was cold and hurriedly admitted his mistake
"When will the reinforcements from Lord Yuwen arrive?" Angrily reprimanding the deputy general, Huo Yuandong was still panicked in his heart, and asked Luoyang to come to get reinforcements
10,000 foot cavalry, as the adjutant general said, may be difficult to stop the enemy, forcibly hold on, at most for half an hour
The adjutant general looked stunned and at a loss, how to answer: "General, the reinforcements have not yet arrived, they are still in Jinyong City, and it is estimated that it will take half a day."
Jin Yongcheng is far away from Heyang Bridge, and the reinforcements are marching non-stop, and within half an hour, unless they fly with wings, they cannot appear on the south bank of Heyang Bridge at all
"Damn, the reinforcements have not arrived, the enemy is coming, how can this battle be fought?" Knowing the location of the reinforcements, Huo Yuandong was furious
He knew that Zhang Xuanheng led the troops from Yiguan, and it would take time to send the news back to Luoyang and then send the army north, but the soldiers were very fast, and Zhang Xuanheng led the cavalry to come, obviously knowing that the situation was unfavorable
Now, Zhang Xuanheng led the troops to arrive in advance, and the war became unfavorable to them
Huo Yuandong was secretly angry, entangled, looked up at Xiao Chen, Yan Zongmou, and the fierce cavalry on the Heyang Bridge, and said sharply: "The whole army is in good spirits and ready to fight, and the reinforcements have not arrived, so we must also hold on."
"Yes!" The adjutant general bowed his head, turned his head and shouted to the soldiers lurking on both sides: "The whole army is ready to fight."
When the soldiers heard this, they cheered up and did not dare to be careless, the knife and axe hand silently drew out the horizontal knife, and the archer silently took out the arrow from the arrow box and put it on the bowstring
One by one, their faces were tense, their eyes were fixed on Xiao Chen, Yan Zongmou, Xiao Chen rode his horse to lead the troops forward, and stepped on the Heyang Bridge, they gradually held their breath
Gripping the hilt tightly, the bowstring was pulled fuller, and a fierce battle was about to break out
Xiao Chen, Yan Zongmou led the troops to step onto the Heyang Bridge, grabbed the blades in their hands, pulled out the iron bow, and paid attention to the Quartet with a cautious expression
Heyang Bridge is an important ferry port to communicate the north and south of the Yellow River, and when King Wu was fighting, he crossed the river with the princes, and it was an important ancient battlefield
Xiao Chen, Yan Zongmou stepped on the pontoon bridge, he was full of spirits, his thoughts were tense, and he moved forward slowly
They led the troops gradually across the pontoon bridge, Xiao Chen became more and more cautious, and soon, he keenly felt that not far south of the Heyang Bridge, near the earthen bag, he couldn't help but secretly remind Yan Zongmou and the cavalry around him
Crossing the bridge, the south side is a hilly area, one after another, easy to hide soldiers, if there are ambush soldiers, with only two hundred horsemen, it is not easy to deal with
Although Xiao Chen and Yan Zongmou gradually learned that there were ambushes in the south, in order to verify the number of the other party, Xiao Chen led the troops and went to the south
and Huo Yuandong's tent hidden under the foot ride, getting closer and closer
"Shoot!" Huo Yuandong witnessed Xiao Chen in the north, led the troops approaching, broke into the ambush circle, no longer hesitated, immediately became angry, and ordered a small number of soldiers around him to shoot bravely to prevent exposing the reality of the army
Bang, bang, bang!
The sharp arrow left the string and rushed to the north, Xiao Chen and Yan Zongmou had already prepared, and when Huo Yuandong got up, they shot one after another
He then tightened the reins of his horse and ordered the cavalry to retreat to prevent unnecessary casualties
"Retreat, retreat"
The hiding place of the Luoyang army was exposed, and only the main force in the rear rushed to kill, and the thunderbolt was not able to hide the momentum and kill the Yan army
The flying cavalry soldiers bravely received the order, and the whole army was evacuating, blocking with knives and quickly moving forward
On the north bank of Heyang Bridge, Zhang Xuanheng led the troops to witness the south bank of Heyang Bridge, and the traces of the Luoyang Army were exposed, and the black iron steel whip in his hand jingled
The corners of his mouth were upturned, with a smile on his face, he raised his double whips, shouted loudly, and said: "Listen to my general's order, the whole army will attack, shoot straight into the direction of the rain of arrows, and pull out the enemy army in the south."
For a while, the right guards and the flying cavalry were in a commotion, and the whole army shouted loudly and rushed to kill
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The cavalry rushed to kill, kicking up puffs of smoke and dust, like a herd of beasts, cautious and cautious, and moving forward at great speed
At this time, Zhang Xuanheng held the iron whip in his hand, grabbed the reins of the horse, clamped his legs to urge the war horse, regardless of the danger of the pontoon bridge, galloped forward, and wanted to cross the pontoon bridge in the shortest possible time, kill the enemy general, clear the enemy soldiers, quickly go south, and turn to the Tiger Pass
