Chapter 884: Three Thousand Cavalry vs Three Thousand Infantry

（0884）

[Today's second update is delivered! ] 】

"My lord, the Lion Riding Camp has been assembled! Please instruct! ”

"My lord, the bear riding camp has been assembled! Please instruct! ”

Half an hour later, the Lion Riding Battalion and the Bear Riding Battalion were ready for battle and ready to set off at any time. Li Zhaohui and Xie Zhiyou both came up and reported solemnly.

After taking Luoyang City, the morale of the Tiger Ben army was very high. I heard that I was going to deal with Yang Sichang, and everyone was gearing up, and they had the momentum to destroy this dynasty food. Even the newly established Eagle Cavalry Battalion and Eagle Cavalry Battalion couldn't help but take advantage of the fire to loot. It's a pity that Zhang Zhun gave them the task of being mainly responsible for guarding the safety of Luoyang City.

"Goal! Longmen Pass! ”

"Let's go!"

Zhang Zhun waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice.

The south gate of Luoyang was quickly opened, and three thousand cavalry swept out of the city.

……

"What?"

"The Tiger Army is out of the city?"

"They're coming to Longmen Pass?"

Yang Sichang received the news of the attack of the Tiger Ben Army and felt quite surprised.

He originally thought that the Huguang army was pressing towards Luoyang, and Zhang Zhun's reaction would definitely be to hold on to the city, and it was even possible to abandon Luoyang and retreat along the water or land routes. Unexpectedly, he actually tried to attack, and actually tried to launch an active attack on himself.

This damn Zhang Zhun is really a bit special! No wonder in the past few years, the world has not been at peace. However, he came out of the city, just as Yang Sichang wanted. Without the cover of Luoyang Jiancheng, look at how arrogant your Zhang Zhun troops can be! There is a strong city that does not take advantage of it, and runs out to die by itself, which is really self-defeating!

"How many people are there in the Tiger Army?"

Yang Sichang asked calmly.

"About three thousand."

The scout captain replied.

"Three Thousand ......"

Yang Sichang pondered to himself.

Zhang Zhun only had 3,000 cavalry, so he dared to challenge the 30,000 Huguang army, which was really courageous. At the same time, it also made Yang Sichang feel a silent insult, as if Zhang Zhun was deliberately bullying him. Three thousand cavalry, dare to challenge the three thousand Huguang army, this is obviously not to take him Yang Sichang in his eyes! Could it be that my Yang Sichang's courage is not as good as yours? No way!

Originally, Yang Sichang was going to garrison Longmen Pass, relying on the strong defense of Longmen Pass to block the attack of the Tiger Ben Army. However, after hearing that the strength of the Tiger Ben Army was only 3,000 people, Yang Sichang changed his mind. He decided to take the initiative and compete with the Tiger Army in the field outside. It's a horse or a mule, pull it out and slip away!

Yang Sichang decided to fight his majesty fiercely in this battle. He wants to let all the officials in the court, big and small, see that he Yang Sichang is definitely not because of Emperor Chongzhen's appreciation. He Yang Sichang has real skills. None of you can let Zhang Zhun suffer, I, Yang Sichang, will break such a curse!

"Come on!"

"Look who's good!"

Yang Sichang was furious, full of fighting spirit.

King Fu's death seemed to give him unlimited strength, and he was determined to defeat Zhang Zhun in one fell swoop and turn the tide of the Central Plains battle at this most difficult moment. As long as he kills Zhang Zhun, even if the ten Fu Kings die, he can also worship the prime minister and enter the cabinet.

"All the troops are attacking!"

"Fight back!"

Yang Sichang shouted menacingly.

He decided to lead the 30,000 main forces of the Huguang army, all of them to leave Longmen Pass, and engage the cavalry of the Huben Army in the open field ten miles away from Longmen Pass. He ordered the Huguang army to attack in full gear, set up a position, and wait for the arrival of the Huben cavalry. 3,000 cavalry dare to attack the main force of the 30,000 Huguang Army? There are ones you regret!

Under the supervision of Yang Sichang, the Huguang army came out of Longmen Pass one after another and marched in the direction of Luoyang. Since Yang Sichang took over the Huguang Army, he has indeed spent a lot of effort in rectifying the army. He attached great importance to the appearance of the army and demanded that the whole army must always be firm and persistent, and must not slacken.

After being rectified by Yang Sichang, Hu Guangjun's appearance is indeed new. Thanks to the strong support of Emperor Chongzhen and Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, the equipment of the Huguang army is also quite sophisticated, with all waist-length armor, all flying birds, and dozens of artillery. The quality of all kinds of weapons is among the best in the official army.

To say that the only weakness of the Huguang army at this moment is the cavalry troops. At this time, Zu Kuan, who was originally under the command of the Huguang Army, had already been relegated to the Liaodong Army, and the current cavalry of the Huguang Army were all trained by Lu Xiangsheng back then, and there were only less than 1,000 people.

However, even without the help of the Liaodong cavalry, Yang Sichang was confident that with his main force of 30,000 infantry, it would be easy to deal with the 3,000 cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army. Ten times the strength of the enemy! And such a sophisticated firearm!

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

Soon, from the north of the Huguang army, there was the sound of horses' hooves.

A moment later, a large number of Tiger Warrior cavalry appeared. These tiger cavalry cavalry are all wearing grass-green military uniforms, without any armor, and they look very light. The wilderness in early winter was already very bleak, and at a glance, there was only a piece of gray and yellow. The appearance of the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army was a vibrant grass green, which formed a considerable contrast with the gray-yellow in the background.

"It's Zhang Zhun!"

"Zhang Zhun is here in person!"

Soon, there were officers of the Huguang Army who recognized Zhang Zhun's appearance.

Although they had not seen Zhang Zhun with their own eyes, the portrait of Zhang Zhun was spread to all middle-level and above officers in the official army after the Tiger Ben Army conquered Luoyang. Every officer in the official army, as long as he is a little self-motivated or a little vigilant, is very familiar with Zhang Zhun's portrait. There is no way, for such a murderous guy, if the officers and soldiers do not focus on research, they are afraid that they will suffer a big loss again.

In fact, Zhang Zhun was indeed in the cavalry queue of the Tiger Ben Army. From now on, there is no need for him to hide his identity. He will play his own banner openly and honestly, and compete with the court and anyone else for the world. The new battle with the imperial court started with Yang Sichang in front of him.

"Array!"

"Ready!"

The front-line officers of the Huguang Army immediately roared.

Zhang Zhun personally led the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army to kill him, which invisibly brought great pressure to the top of the Huguang Army. In the past few years, there have indeed been too many legends about Zhang Zhun. The shadow of the so-called famous tree, since Zhang Zhun is so awesome, his ability must be quite strong. If they don't wake up the spirit, I'm afraid it will be tragic.

Only Yang Sichang did not have the slightest fear of Zhang Zhun's arrival. Yes, instead of the slightest fear, he felt that his heart was constantly boiling. Zhang Zhun's arrival, in his opinion, is not a danger, but an opportunity. Zhang Zhun came to Longmen Pass specifically to give him a chance to defeat the other party.

Right now, Zhang Zhun's reputation is in full swing and indispensable. The prestige of the Tiger Ben Army is also in full swing and indispensable. As long as he, Yang Sichang, can defeat Zhang Zhun, he can become the first person in the world, and he can proudly announce in front of other colleagues that Zhang Zhun is not his opponent Yang Sichang, and it is only a matter of time before he pacifies the Tiger Ben Army.

"Come on!"

Yang Sichang secretly encouraged himself.

The infantry of the Huguang Army who attacked had already lined up their ranks. They formed a phalanx for a decisive battle, ready to fight the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army. On all sides of the phalanx, there were sharp spears. These spears, more than five meters in length, are thicker in diameter than an adult's wrist. It was enough to knock all the cavalry that rushed up to the ground. If the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army rushed up like this, what was waiting for them would be the result of the total annihilation.

It's a pity that the cavalry of the Tiger Army is not stupid. They were about 300 meters away from the ranks of officers and soldiers, and they began to reduce their speed. By the time I reached 200 meters, I was already walking slowly. Immediately, they scattered to the left and right, and the originally neat formation became very messy. Looking at it from a distance, it seems that it is completely unformed.

"Damn it!"

Yang Sichang saw it behind him and couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Zhang Zhun what is this going to do? Do you want to confront the officers and soldiers from a distance? Or are you going to play hide and seek with the officers and soldiers? Originally, he was going to order the artillery bombardment and teach the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army a lesson with the Franc machine artillery. The effect of grapeballs against cavalry is still quite good. However, as it stands, it seems unlikely.

Because, the ranks of the cavalry of the Tiger Army are very scattered, and they are far away from each other. Even if you attack with grapeshot, it probably won't have much effect. Yang Sichang could see Zhang Zhun's figure, which was within the range of the Franc machine gun. However, if you want to hit Zhang Zhun directly, Yang Sichang himself has no such thoughts.

"Yang Sichang was simply dizzy, and he actually lined up outside the gate to fight with us in the field! Didn't he know that in such an empty field, infantry and cavalry faced each other, and only the share of being ***? I really don't understand, I don't even know the most basic tactical principles, how did he get appointed as an overseer? How could Emperor Chongzhen trust him? ”

Wang Shide couldn't help but whisper.

"It's not that he doesn't understand, it's that he doesn't take us seriously. He has 30,000 men, we only have 3,000, and he has an absolute advantage in terms of troops. He still has artillery, and a squad of spears, and feels that we simply cannot storm his phalanx. This guy is so proud! ”

Zhang Zhun held the clairvoyant mirror and said calmly.

For Yang Sichang's way of facing the battle, Zhang Zhun is really welcome. It's really a time to be sleepy, and someone brings a pillow! He originally thought that he had to attack Longmen Pass in order to teach Yang Sichang a lesson, but he didn't expect that Yang Sichang himself would send his ass up. Good! Since Yang Sichang is so cooperative, the Tiger Benjun is not welcome!

"Li Zhaohui!"

"Xie Zhiyou!"

"*** engagement!"

Zhang Zhun quickly issued the order.

Li Zhaohui and Xie Zhiyou immediately agreed to make arrangements.
