Chapter 302: Take the initiative to attack
Guo Wei brought 100,000 recruits, Ye Hua previously commanded more than 50,000 people, supplemented by more than 10,000 locals, even if you don't count the militia, there are more than 150,000 people!
This is a very terrifying number, according to intelligence statistics, the Khitan will dispatch a staggering 250,000 people!
In other words, the total strength of both sides will add up to 400,000 people!
Aside from the exaggeration of romance, there are really not many battles in history that can really reach this level, and how to fight is a test of the wisdom of the commanders of both sides.
After Guo Wei and Ye Hua discussed, they unanimously decided to take the initiative to attack.
That's right, in the past, Ye Hua deliberately withdrew his fist and shrunk his forces in order to attract the Khitan to the south, but now it's time to swing his fist out and beat the enemy!
"After the Khitan people crossed the Gaoliang River, they went all the way south, if the judgment is correct, their goal is Gu'an!" Ye Hua introduced to Zhang Yongde.
Zhang Yongde had a calm face and thought: "Gu'an is the eastern barrier of Zhuozhou, and it is also the northern gate of Bazhou, if it is taken by the Khitans, they can wave their troops south to poison the Central Plains!" ”
"So we must block the road of the Khitans to the south, Gu'an needs a general to guard it!"
Zhang Yongde smiled, "Master Hou, you don't mean to let me go, right?" ”
"It's not what I meant, it's what Your Majesty meant." Ye Hua said with a smile: "I actually asked the order to go to Gu'an to defend the town, but Your Majesty said that this battle needs the closest and reliable people who can fight, so the master of the horse will have to work hard!" ”
"Hahaha!" Zhang Yongde laughed with satisfaction, "Father Emperor Shengming, Champion Hou, when it comes to commanding thousands of troops and horses, fighting for power, you still owe the fire, it is better to be far away from Zhang!" Hahaha! ”
The guy grinned wildly, as if he had picked up a dog's head gold. Ye Hua could only give him a roll of the eyes, he couldn't hear such an obvious killing, and it was time to recharge his IQ when he turned around.
You can't just have muscle bumps in your head, you need to have wisdom.
However, Zhang Yongde didn't want that thing for the time being, so he immediately picked up 10,000 horses and galloped towards Gu'an.
Liang Hong is a small soldier under Zhang Yongde, he is shorter than ordinary people, and he is incompatible with the tall and strong forbidden army.
According to common sense, he has no chance to become Zhang Yongde's subordinate, but Liang Hongcai has another great ability, he came from a humble background and herded horses for others since he was a child, and as a result, he practiced excellent equestrian skills.
Take it as an example, he is gently lying on the horse's back, his eyes are slightly closed, and his body rises and falls with the war horse, he is like a plaster, firmly pasted, and will never fall off.
Liang Hongcai can even sleep on a running war horse, others think that a long-distance run is a chore, but he is willing to do it. The court is really good to everyone, not only have cotton clothes, but also hats, scarves, gloves, galloping on war horses, and the cold wind can also withstand it.
Liang Hongcai was only half asleep, he opened his eyes, and suddenly found that there were several black dots shaking on the horizon.
Is it a beast? Maybe bigger!
Liang Hongcai immediately came to his senses, he didn't say a word, he urged the horse to chase after him, and there were more than a dozen soldiers behind him.
They rushed as fast as they could. Those little black dots wanted to run at first, but it seemed that there were not many people, and they wanted to fight again. Liang Hongcai was faster than everyone else, and there were only about twenty steps left on both sides, when the other party drew his bow and arrow and shot at him.
Liang Hongcai shook off the stirrup and came to hide in a beautiful kick, he not only dodged, but also bit an arrow with his teeth.
When he rolls over again, he raises his hand and shoots this arrow!
Bang!
The Khitan soldiers who shot arrows suffered the consequences of their own evil, were hit by an arrow in the throat, and immediately died!
Liang Hongcai was not enough, he pulled out two more arrows, did not give the other party a reaction, and shot out again, killing two Khitans. The remaining five Khitan soldiers were furious, and their proud cavalry actually made a Han man overwhelm them, and they were almost slapped in the face!
"Kill him!"
The angry Khitan soldiers rushed up, and Liang Hongcai showed a bloodthirsty smile, Lao Tzu can not only shoot arrows, but also kill!
I saw the knife flashing, a Khitan soldier was disemboweled, and the internal organs flowed out, and another Khitan soldier waved a mace to hit, Liang Hongcai cat waist, mace sticking to his back, at the moment of getting up, the knife in Liang Hongcai's hand was from bottom to top, he had the opportunity to cut the war horse, and then took the opponent's life.
But he loves horses like his life, how can he bear to hurt the war horse. So just cut off the reins of the horse with the tip of the knife, and the other party's body shook, Liang Hong took advantage of the situation to jump on the back of the opponent's horse, swung the knife and slashed horizontally, and the body was cut in two, and he was killed immediately.
Liang Hongcai kicked the lower body of the Khitan with his foot and sat on horseback.
He looked at it a little and smiled!
This is a very robust mare, and **abundant.
Liang Hongcai unceremoniously took it for himself and intercepted the spoils of war without permission, he would be punished, and he could be fined for up to three months.
"Brother Liang, your money has been deducted, and I am afraid that you will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in this life."
The companions laughed and mocked, and Liang Hongcai didn't care, "Brother has a war horse, what kind of daughter-in-law do you want!" ”
His words caused another burst of laughter, and before the big war, it was rare to relax.
Liang Hongcai and others eliminated a Khitan ranger, indicating that the main Khitan force is really not far away!
"Quick, the whole army accelerates!"
Zhang Yongde urged desperately, and the whole army ran lifelessly, and he didn't even have time to drink saliva. Only Liang Hongcai, this guy has clever means.
He came and hid himself again, and when he came up, inside his helmet, with white mare's milk, still steaming, he gulped like nectar.
For his operation, the big guy can only say one thing, show, what a fucking show!
Creation Zhong Shenxiu!
The whole army hurried slowly, but it was still a step too late, and when they arrived, the Khitan soldiers had already surrounded Gu'an and attacked on all sides.
"Brothers, kill with me!"
Zhang Yongde didn't hesitate and crashed directly into the Khitans.
The two teams quickly collided together, and they dared to take the initiative to attack the Khitan, which was really bold. Cowardly Han people, you don't think you died badly enough!
Come on, let Grandpa teach you what riding and archery is!
There was a rain of arrows, and Liang Hongcai just lay on the back of the horse, facing the dense arrows, and using armor to bear it, it was far better than risking to get up and fight back, and he would endure it.
Sure enough, the sky thundered and the earth collided together.
The sound of horses' hooves was more terrifying than thunder, the vast earth trembled, and the weapons of both sides were raised high, letting out hysterical roars. Two waves of rage collided together.
"Kill!"
The Khitan generals really couldn't believe it, the cavalry of the Great Zhou, without rest, without hesitation, attacked them directly, when did the Han people become so crazy?
Zhang Yongde sneered slightly, "Lao Tzu is so crazy!" ”
Not only was he crazy, but even his soldiers were the same, in less than a quarter of an hour, Zhang Yongde stepped on the corpse, penetrated the ranks of the Khitans, and rushed directly to the city.
His war horse spun around under Gu'an City, turned his horse's head again, and rushed down in the other direction!
"Crazy, just crazy!" The defenders of the city exclaimed together, and they couldn't believe their eyes...... It turns out that the cavalry of the Great Zhou is so majestic and fierce!
Zhang Yongde once again penetrated the Khitan military formation, covered in blood and murderous.
The Khitan cavalry, especially the barbarians who came from the steppe, they were all extremely arrogant, and everyone had to submit to them except for the sky above their heads and the emperor who was smashing bowls.
Especially the lowly and cowardly Han Chinese!
We are here to conquer the Han Chinese!
The Khitan generals roared and sent their bravest warriors to kill them.
Zhang Yongde just sneered, he didn't dare to rush into battle to kill the enemy in person, what kind of good man is he? I'm going to cut off your head!
"Kill!"
The Great Zhou cavalry rushed forward with a stronger momentum against the Khitan iron cavalry......
