This cavalry force that suddenly appeared did not have many men and horses, about 2,000 horses, but it was extremely strong, and as soon as it appeared, it directly killed from the side and rear of Nengchendi, and only in an instant, it caused a big mess of Nengchendi's flank and rear. The cavalry of Cao Zhang www.biquge.info got this help, and the original interspersed pressure was immediately greatly reduced, and the rush was even more vigorous.

Seeing the word "Lu" on the banner of the cavalry leader from a distance, Cao Zhang immediately knew that it was Lu Lingqi's cavalry unit, but he was both grateful and unwilling in his heart. Gratitude is naturally grateful to Lu Lingqi for coming to help the battle without thinking about the previous grievances, and unwilling is unwilling to lose to this big sister who is a woman on the battlefield...... No way, most of the men in those years looked down on women.

The alternating rush of the two elite cavalry troops, the Karasuma cavalry wanted to launch a large-scale attack on Cao Zhang's main infantry group phalanx, or a large cavalry archery attack, which became obstructive and powerful. And those scattered cavalry archery sticks were not painful at all for the group phalanx of the infantry. Seeing this, Neng Chendi was furious, and hurriedly ordered the Karasuma cavalry to retreat temporarily, taking advantage of the speed of his own horses to throw off Cao Zhang for a distance, and then use this distance to make the war horses exert their strength, so as to launch an attack on Cao Zhang's main infantry group.

Cao Zhang and Lu Lingqi are both people who are familiar with the tactics of cavalry warfare, and when they saw that the Karasuma cavalry retreated without being defeated, they naturally knew what kind of idea Neng Chenqi was fighting, but the way to deal with it was different. Cao Zhang hurriedly chased after the cavalry of his headquarters, trying not to give the Karasuma cavalry time to regroup, but Lu Lingqi was leisurely, and the more than 2,000 cavalry under his command almost led an extra horse with each of them, and began to retreat to the side, and by the way, he also gave the road to Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang was angry and angry when he saw this, and then he realized that Lu Lingqi was indeed here to help, but at the same time, he was also here to fish in troubled waters, and it seems that Lu Lingqi has not forgotten the revenge of "borrowing" the horse a few days ago. But Cao Zhang, what can you say now? Fighting for you with others, and on the bright side there are help you repel the enemy army, and now that people are tired and want to retreat, and then take some loot before retreating, what else do you have to say?

Send someone over to find Lu Lingqi to chase after you? So are you asking or ordering? Please, others have grievances in their hearts, what if they don't sell your face? Command? Hmph, others are not your subordinates, and the lord is different, why should he listen to your orders?

Cao Zhang was too lazy to talk about himself, and besides, he didn't have that time now, so he took his subordinates to chase after him. It's just that Cao Zhang's cavalry totaled about 4,000, and Neng Chendi sent another detachment to block Cao Zhang, so Cao Chang was not able to smoothly insert into the reorganized formation of the Karasuma cavalry. Seeing that the ranks of the Karasuma cavalry had gradually been reorganized, he hurriedly led the elite cavalry to the flank to avoid the frontal impact of the Karasuma cavalry, and at the same time sent people to the rear to inform the infantry group to stabilize the phalanx, so as not to be scattered and disrupted by the large attack of the Karasuma cavalry.

After a short time, the Karasuma cavalry roared in unison and charged at Cao Zhang's infantry phalanx. There is no doubt that this intersection between the two is another round of life and death battles, but in a moment, it enters an abnormal stalemate again, and someone will bleed and fall every moment.

In terms of total strength, Cao Zhang's side was still at a disadvantage, probably about 20,000 less than the Karasuma cavalry. If the tactics are used well, the difference between 30,000 soldiers and 50,000 soldiers will not be very obvious. But now that the Karasuma cavalry has won the impact distance, the disadvantage of the infantry is more obvious. However, because Cao Zhang dared to fight and rush, and Cao Bing's infantry had a strong ability to cooperate, although he was at a disadvantage at the moment, he was not defeated. If you can stabilize your position, it is not impossible to slowly pull back the current disadvantage. But in general, Cao Jun is a little less powerful now.

But at this time, in the flank and rear of Cao Zhang's infantry group, the five thousand infantry led by Murong Ziying arrived and set up a battle formation, and then looked at Murong Ziying raised his eyes to look at the battle situation in front of him, the corners of his mouth rose upward, and he waved his hand to instruct the troops to start waving their divisions and marching.

There is a question here, where did the more than 7,000 people of Lu Lingqi and Murong Ziying come from? In fact, to put it bluntly, it is really simple, that is, Tian Chou knows too much about the geographical environment around Youbeiping, although most of them are mountainous areas, but there are always some mountain trails that can be crossed. Of course, it is difficult to move the corps on a large scale, but it is not difficult to divide the 2,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry into pieces, pass through several small paths, and then assemble in a pre-selected place.

By the way, I have to add that this time the 7,000 men and horses, in addition to the 2,000 cavalry who are still Murong Ziying's 2,000 people, the 5,000 infantry is no longer Tian Chou's troops, but the regular army of Yizhou. After Lu Ren got the post of Assassin of Western Liaoning, he had the legitimacy to officially intervene in the affairs of Western Liaoning, and of course he had to give Lu Lingqi some hard power when he sent Lu Lingqi over. The current 5,000 Yizhou infantry were transported to Chrysanthemum Port after some selection, and because of some relevant preparations, Chrysanthemum Harbor, which arrived later than Lu Lingqi, can basically be said to be Lu Lingqi's family background.

I won't say much about these trivial matters, just say that as soon as the drums of the Yizhou soldiers sounded, the two sides that were fighting were all stunned. Seeing that the newly arrived soldiers were playing the banner of Yizhou soldiers, the Karasuma cavalry was a little chaotic.

Nengchen Di was also a little panicked, he had seen the terrible arrow rain tactics with his own eyes some time ago, but at that time he only brought part of the Karasuma cavalry to pursue Lu Lingqi, and there were still many people among his subordinates who did not know the strength of the Yizhou soldiers, and even a few clan chiefs who looked down on Nengchen Di, who wanted to take this opportunity to raise their prestige and turn around to pull Neng Chenqi down, so they volunteered to divide more than 10,000 cavalry to meet the Yizhou soldiers. In their opinion, such a distance is just enough for the cavalry to sprint, so the opposing infantry is not meat on the board?

Neng Chenyi can't stop it...... Or do you want to kill someone with a knife? Anyway, these tribal chiefs were allowed to take people there. And these clan leaders and cavalry had just rushed to a place less than two hundred steps away from the Yizhou soldiers, and the rain of arrows shot from the Yizhou soldiers had already overwhelmingly suppressed the generals.

You must know that the last time you met the enemy with arrow rain tactics at the mountain road crossing, it was not the regular army of Yizhou, but the troops of Tian Chou. If you really want to compare it with the well-trained Yizhou soldiers, Tian Chou's troops are really militiamen. I saw that the Yizhou infantry at this time except for the front row as the wall, the rest of the Yizhou soldiers fired arrows together, it can really be said that tens of thousands of arrows will shoot out in an instant, what a terrifying scene is that? The Karasuma cavalry has always been proud of their ability to shoot horses, but when they gather tens of thousands of horsemen and fire arrows at the same time, they may not be able to have such a scary scene!

After a rain of arrows crackling, the more than 10,000 Karasuma cavalry who met the Yizhou soldiers really didn't know how many died. And the worst thing is that your Karasuma cavalry is not good at mobile mounted archery, isn't it? But now compared with the battle formation of the Yizhou soldiers, your cavalry can go cool. The crossbow equipped by the Yizhou soldiers is easy to fire, and it is very easy to do it while marching while pulling the lever without pursuing accuracy, and the replacement of the arrow box is convenient and fast, so that the entire Yizhou military array is approaching at the same time, and the arrow rain has not stopped.

Looking at the Yizhou army formation slowly, it was only more than 300 steps, and the more than 10,000 Karasuma cavalry who came to meet the Yizhou soldiers were less than 1,000 horsemen left. And the remaining Karasuma cavalry was horrified when they saw this, how could they have the courage to rush forward again? Why don't you turn around and run away? What the? Do you think it's such an exaggeration? 5,000 infantry beat tens of thousands of cavalry into reservoir dogs? Tell you totally can!

As early as the time when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was preparing to fight against the Xiongnu, the famous general Li Ling once defeated the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Xiongnu with only 5,000 infantry. It's a pity that later, because the support from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could not be in place, Li Ling's 5,000 people ran out of arrows when they were not much away from the pass, and these 5,000 people failed to retreat in the end. Li Ling once sighed about this, as long as he gave each of his soldiers three arrows, he could completely retreat to the pass. Later, Li Ling surrendered in desperation, and the war report came back to the ears of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sima Qian said a few good words for helping Li Ling surrender, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became angry with Sima Qian, and Sima Qian was finally punished by the palace.

And at this moment, Lu Lingqi's 5,000 infantry is stronger than Li Ling at the beginning in terms of weapons and equipment, training level, combat awareness, and even environmental background, and it is really not difficult to defeat tens of thousands of cavalry with a storm of arrows. Looking at the Yizhou army formation after advancing for a short while, it stopped advancing, and the rain of arrows stopped.

At this time, the formation of the front army and the middle army remained unchanged, and the rear army divided hundreds of people to clean up the battlefield, leading the horses and recovering the arrows. And the hundreds of people behind this are really interesting, almost everyone is dragging a van...... To be precise, this kind of van car is a bit like the kind of rickshaw in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, that is, the kind in "Camel Xiangzi", except that there is a box bucket suitable for putting things in the back. And this kind of van is quite light, and the Yizhou soldiers who clean the battlefield can just throw the things they collect into it.

It can't be helped. Under normal circumstances, a regular Yizhou crossbow archer, including the crossbow bow, can only carry a maximum of four arrow boxes, which are hung on the left and right waists. However, later Yizhou developed a spring backpack box, which can put more than ten arrow boxes, and touch it on the back with the backhand when taking it, that is to say, a regular Yizhou crossbow archer can carry about fifteen arrow boxes at most, according to the capacity of fifteen arrows per box, it is more than two hundred arrows.

It's just that although there are many arrows, there is always a time to finish shooting after shooting indiscriminately, and the crossbow and arrow box have relatively high requirements for the standardization of arrows, and the Yizhou soldiers must recover the arrows in time to ensure continuous combat effectiveness in the field, so the corresponding battlefield recovery method has also been developed. And this kind of van car is a good recycling tool. And placing this van in the front can also be used as a simple barrier.

At the next moment, the rear of the Yizhou army divided into more than 300 people and came out to load the arrows in the van back into the arrow box. Once the box is loaded, it will be passed to the front row, and then the empty arrow box will also be passed over. Everything is so well organized. The Karasuma cavalry saw it from afar, and they didn't dare to come forward to attack again. There is no way, the overwhelming rain of life-seeking arrows is really terrifying.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield is very delicate, Cao Zhang and the Karasuma cavalry are still fighting in one place, fighting to the death, but the Yizhou military array is unhurriedly cleaning up the valuable things on the battlefield on the periphery, and does not directly participate in the battle. But anyone who doesn't know whether to live or die will be shot into a hedgehog in a few seconds. Anyway, looking at that posture, the Yizhou Legion didn't look like they were here to fight, but they were simply here to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune.

But the more this is the case, the more Cao Zhang and Neng Chenyi dare not take it lightly. Who dares to guarantee that after defeating the other party, the Yizhou soldiers will not take advantage of your sleepiness and lack of horses to catch you? Even Cao Zhang, who was on the supported side, didn't dare, who made you offend Lu Lingqi before? It's really going to be a fight, but at this time, Lu Lingqi suddenly asked you Cao Zhang to return the horses, what should I do?

But fortunately, Lu Lingqi's two thousand iron cavalry have been patrolling the flanks of the Yizhou military formation. Murong Ziying saw that the Yizhou military array had almost collected things, and immediately passed the message to Lu Lingqi. After Lu Lingqi received the order, he waved his halberd, and the two thousand iron cavalry rushed to the battlefield with a long whistling sound, and plunged straight into the rear wing of the Karasuma cavalry.

For the Cao soldiers and Karasuma cavalry, who had been fighting fiercely for a long time and were already sleepy, the Yizhou soldiers were a new force full of strength, so Lu Lingqi was only two back and forth, and the rear flank of the Karasuma cavalry was already in chaos. And these two back and forth efforts, Yizhou's strict military array has been pressed to the front. To put it bluntly, the front is already within the range of the Yizhou soldiers' crossbow arrows.

At this time, Lu Lingqi was interspersed again, and the people and horses were interspersed in front of Cao Zhang. Then he blocked Cao Zhang's halberd in his hand, and then said to Cao Zhang with a smile: "Gongzi Zhang, please retire temporarily, and see how my Yizhou soldiers kill the enemy." ”

"......" Cao Zhang wanted to be angry but couldn't, but the Cao soldiers behind him were secretly relieved. They have also seen the killing of nearly 10,000 cavalry in Karasuma by several rounds of arrow rain in the Yizhou army before. Although it was not them who were shot, the deterrent power of the overwhelming rain of arrows was just as effective against Cao Bing. All in all, Cao Bing really didn't want to provoke Yizhou Bing. Now that I heard that others are here to help in the war, don't you breathe a sigh of relief?

While they were still talking here, the rain of arrows from the Yizhou soldiers over there had already shot out. However, the arrow rain of the Yizhou soldiers this time was calculated from a good angle, covering all the middle and rear armies of the Karasuma cavalry, and there was no arrow rain falling here in the front row of the battle with the Cao soldiers. The meaning of this is very clear, it is Cao Jun who doesn't want to be injured by mistake. In this way, Cao Jun's mood was greatly relaxed, and his morale also rose sharply, and he cooperated with the covering arrow rain of the Yizhou army to kill a lot, cutting down a lot of Karasuma cavalry fighting in the front row, and then began to reorganize the formation and slowly retreat according to Cao Zhang's order.

Not to mention that as soon as the rain of arrows of the Yizhou soldiers came, they immediately shot the main force of Karasuma's brigade into a mess, and a vacancy appeared on the battlefield. Then the Yizhou military formation turned around, and the spearhead and arrows were all facing the Karasuma cavalry.

Murong Ziying gave another order, and the entire Yizhou military array was like a slow but heavy earth mill, pressing towards the Karasuma cavalry. At this time, the Karasuma cavalry, in front of the Yizhou military array, all their actions seemed so powerless. rush, rush not to get close to the front; Shoot arrows, arrows are not enough range. Therefore, the current war is simply one-sided.

But seeing that the Yizhou army array was moving forward for a while, Lu Lingqi, who was blocking Cao Zhang, saw that the situation was similar, and then smiled at Cao Zhang: "Xiao Yi (malicious three sounds), take your elite cavalry and follow my Yizhou soldiers to cover and kill Hu Cai." How about I take the left flank of the military formation, and you the right flank of the military formation? ”

When did you say that Cao Zhang was called "Xiao Yiyi"? But looking at Lu Lingqi's flower-like smiling face, Cao Zhang really felt that he couldn't get angry if he wanted to, so he could only vent his anger on the Karasuma cavalry. At the moment, he snorted heavily and nodded in agreement, and then led the remaining more than 3,000 elite cavalry under his command, and swept left and right with Lu Lingqi on the flank of the Yizhou army formation. As for the main infantry group of the Cao army, let them follow up in the rear first.

Don't think that the Yizhou soldiers are helping the war so simple now, in fact, Murong Ziying has come to this point, and the primary and secondary identities of the battlefield have already fallen. Originally, it was mainly the Cao army, supplemented by the Yizhou soldiers, but now it is the Yizhou soldiers as the main and the Cao army as the auxiliary. Although they are killing the enemy together, the mentality of everyone will change. This state of mind...... How so? Let's take this analogy, for example, if you are the host of a party, you can play and play, all your eyes, all the applause, all the attention is focused on the guests, then what will you feel like as a host? And the worst thing is that you can't turn your face!

Without further ado, the official entry of the Yizhou military array has undoubtedly made this fierce battle a final one. Now what the Cao-Lu coalition army has to do is not to strive for victory, but to expand the results as much as possible.

Arrows rained down one canopy after another, and the Karasuma cavalry fell in pieces. And the two cavalry of Lu Lingqi and Cao Zhang are also harvesting the lives of those Karasuma cavalry who have avoided the sharp fronts of the Yizhou military formation. After a while, Neng Chendi knew that the general trend had gone, so he immediately threw away the people and horses, and turned the horse's head and slipped away.

A soldier is the courage of a general, and a general is the soul of a soldier. Isn't the Karasuma cavalry losing their souls? The most important thing is that there is no one to command. In this way, the Karasuma cavalry is in chaos, and in the face of the Yizhou army formation that is slowly approaching, how can there be any combat effectiveness at all? Why don't you hurry up and pull all the horses and flash people?

The Karasuma cavalry flashed, and Lu Lingqi immediately ordered the troops to stop and continue to advance. Cao Zhangzong came to Lu Lingqi and asked urgently: "General Miss Lu, the enemy is defeated and retreating today, why don't you take advantage of the victory to chase after you?" (To be continued.) )
