Chapter 740: The Cavalry Defeated

Mobile reading

The galloping of war horses also made the Liaodong cavalry wake up a little from the hatred of Fang Cai, the enemy army was luring them into the encirclement, and under the shock, many cavalry seemed a little flustered.

The adjutant general stared at the cavalry that appeared on the left and right and shouted, "Divide into two parts to kill the enemy." Then he told him to lead the cavalry everywhere to the army for help.

As long as Gao Cheng leads the army to arrive, it is when this Youzhou cavalry is destroyed, although the opponent surpasses his own in the number of cavalry, the deputy general has the confidence to fight with the Burning Sun Bow Cavalry, as long as these cavalry dare to engage their own cavalry head-on.

After the rain of arrows, the Lieyang Archers began to engage with the Liaodong Cavalry, and the Liaodong Cavalry, who were originally extremely confident in their skills, found that their fighting ability was not satisfactory after facing the Lieyang Archers, not that they were not strong enough, but that the Lieyang Archers were too powerful, and the scimitars in the opponent's hands were swung too fast.

A Liaodong cavalryman was stunned and watched the long knife in his hand split into two sections after the collision, in such a battlefield, the blade in his hand was destroyed, and the end was conceivable.

In terms of defense, the Lieyang Archers may be inferior to the Liaodong Cavalry, but in terms of combat ability, the two are obviously not at the same level, and the leather armor on the body cannot provide effective protection, but the Lieyang Archers have a numerical advantage and superb equestrian skills to support.

With the fall of a famous Liaodong cavalry, there were fewer and fewer Liaodong cavalry on the field.

The deputy general's expression was full of shock, originally thought that this pursuit was nine out of ten, even if the other party appeared a large number of cavalry, it was not enough to be afraid, as long as the opponent's cavalry was entangled, the army that came later could give these cavalry a profound lesson, but it backfired, the strength of the Burning Sun Bow Cavalry was beyond his expectations.

At this time, the adjutant general remembered Gao Cheng's advice, and looked around, most of the battlefields were scorching sun archers, and his own cavalry was struggling to support, I am afraid that if the army could not be supported, his cavalry would be defeated.

"Retreat." Faced with such a situation, the deputy general gritted his teeth and said, this is also the first time he has felt so depressed after many years of fighting, obviously the other party is being chased and beaten, but he has arranged an ambush, and his own scouts are not aware of it.

The lieutenant wanted to lead the cavalry to retreat, but the Sun Archers would not let go so easily.

After the lieutenant general led the cavalry out of the encirclement, behind him was closely followed by thousands of Sun archers, these cavalry relied on the speed of their horses, constantly building bows and shooting arrows, and the advantage in battle speed was vividly reflected at this moment.

"General, a large number of enemy cavalry suddenly appeared in front."

After Gao Cheng received the news of the adjutant general's entourage asking for help, his face kept changing, but he didn't expect the enemy to really dare to be so unscrupulous on the battlefield.

"Can you find out how many cavalry the other side has?" Elevation asked.

"The dust and smoke are billowing out, I can't see how many people there are, there are about 2,000 people." Retinue of the Word.

Gao Cheng nodded, if the other party only has two thousand people, this battle can still be fought, as long as his own cavalry entangles the enemy cavalry, it is a chance for the Liaodong army.

"Command the army, hurry forward!" Elevation shouted.

This cavalry is of vital importance to the reinforcements, once the cavalry is too damaged, the road from here to the city is even more difficult to walk, there are no scouts on the battlefield, it is like a blind man walking, it is difficult to know what kind of danger is hidden ahead.

Along the way, the adjutant general's heart has always been high, the back of the sun archers is too terrifying, just relying on arrows, so that the number of cavalry they lost reached 100 people, if it is not for the front of their own army, the most likely outcome of this cavalry is to be defeated, an army loss of more than three percent, it may lead to the fluctuation of the army's heart, not to mention the loss of Liaodong cavalry nearly fifty percent.

The attacking and defending sides changed, and the Liaodong cavalry was in high spirits when they never came back, and at this time they only hated that the war horse did not have a few more legs, so as to avoid the shooting of the cavalry behind them.

"Our army is coming!" The adjutant general's shouting made many Liaodong cavalry come to their senses.

Gao Cheng led the army at a gallop, still maintaining a tight formation, which was also to avoid creating too many opportunities for the enemy army.

The front was obviously his own cavalry, and Gao Cheng's face was gloomy, and the thousand Liaodong cavalry were defeated so quickly, far exceeding Gao Cheng's expectations.

"Kill!" Elevation shouted.

The archers in the camp were given the order and mounted their bows and arrows.

A stone's throw away from the Liaodong army, Pang Deler ordered the cavalry to stop, as if provocative, and stared at the Liaodong army that was waiting for him.

After a while, Pang De saw that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, and led the cavalry to gallop away, but there were a lot of trophies along the way, I have to say that the equipment of the Liaodong Army was still very good, and cleaning the battlefield was also a pleasant thing.

"Tell me in detail about the war." Gao Cheng glared angrily at the deputy general, before pursuing the Lieyang Archer, Gao Cheng repeatedly explained, as long as he found that the situation was not good, he led the cavalry to retreat, on the battlefield, once the cavalry had the intention to flee for his life, the cavalry in the rear was also difficult to catch up, but the opponent of the Liaodong Army this time was the Lieyang Archer.

The mood of the adjutant general was also very low, he lost so many cavalry in his hands, after returning to Liaodong, he would definitely be punished, the elite cavalry of Liaodong, but the number was not large, and nearly 500 people were lost at a time, which was tantamount to a big defeat for the Liaodong army.

"The last general was ordered to pursue the enemy, but the enemy set up an ambush on the way, and it was difficult for our soldiers to resist in a panic...... "The adjutant general recounted the battle in detail.

"Incompetent, thousands of elite cavalry in Liaodong can't hold the enemy cavalry for an hour." Gao Cheng, who has always been a good man in the army, scolded him.

The adjutant general's face was flushed, and he only promised that this battle was lost in his hands, and Elevation also had an unshirkable responsibility.

"Order the army, set up camp on the high ground ahead, and the generals who patrol at night must be vigilant, otherwise military law will be involved." Elevation commanded when he saw that it was getting late.

The pursuit of the Lieyang Archers made the army march a lot faster, but Gao Cheng always had a bad premonition, he felt that the enemy cavalry would not give up easily, and it may be a vicious battle to meet them, and the strong combat effectiveness shown by the Lieyang Archers also made Gao Cheng extremely frightened, the elite of the Liaodong cavalry was undoubted, but in the face of the Lieyang Archers, there was no way to fight back, saying that it was a retreat, in fact, it was undoubtedly defeated.

In order to prevent the sneak attack of the Sun Archers, Gao Cheng spent a lot of energy, and arranged dense obstacles around the camp, when the soldiers rested, the armor was not allowed to leave their bodies, and the blades should be next to their hands, as a battlefield general, Gao Cheng knew how turbulent the army would be caused by the surprise attack of the opponent's cavalry in the middle of the night.
