Chapter 1206 Crossing the North of the River(1/2)
In the quiet wilderness, a drum sound suddenly sounded.
After a while, the east gate of Hefei opened wide and teams of cavalry rushed out.
They formed a loose formation at the gate of the city.
"Have you returned?" asked the cavalry chief Zhang.
"No." The subordinate shook his head.
Zhang doesn't feel very good.
There are more than a dozen cyclists in the wild, but now I'm back three, but I'm back from the west or south.
The east and the north are like ghosts hiding in the devouring living people, and they have not returned.
"Dongdongdongdongdong————" The drum sound continued, and the drum beats became increasingly dense.
"General." His subordinates looked worried.
Zhang looked back and looked at the city wall.
The prefect He Chong was wearing a wide robe and big sleeves, and was beating the drum himself.
The drum sound is a command, and there is no place to be compatible.
Zhang was a little hesitant.
But he also understood that from the prefect's standpoint, would it be appropriate to let the enemy ride around Hefei?
This is the Huainan District, where the face is.
It would be fine if there were no cavalry troops, but after the last time the thieves were asked to smuggle to Piling, the court deliberately strengthened the direction of Hefei. It was planned that there were thousands of cavalry, so would it be appropriate not to fight?
The drum sound seemed to express He Chong's mood, and he urged him, but there was no way, so he could only fight. If he couldn't beat the Duke, he would give up.
People, that's how conflicted they are.
I know that the chance of winning is not great, but due to various factors, I always have to go to the enemy first and then correct it after suffering losses.
Does He Fujun really not understand?
He might just want to block other people's mouths, and use their lives to block the mouths of those who can't do anything and can only talk about the rumors.
"Let's go!" Zhang Yi shook the whip and rode out.
The flag bearer followed closely behind.
Then the personal soldiers, who slightly accelerated the horse and rushed to Zhang.
Behind were a large group of people, a total of seven or eight hundred riders, rushing into the vast white wilderness on the snow-covered earth.
The Knights of the Legend of the Condor Heroes, who were showing off their might in front of him, rode their horses to meet him.
The distance between the two sides continued to get closer, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air began to appear.
"Swoosh!" An arrow passed by his ear, and a personal soldier in the middle.
The personal soldiers let out a painful groan, but fortunately, they were blocked by iron armor and only suffered a small skin trauma and could still persist.
Zhang Ze was secretly shocked.
He rushed forward and through the gaps in the crowd, he found that the light cavalry on the opposite side was not panicked, but the speed was not slow at all. The arrows were one by one, and they were quite accurate.
This is a veteran!
You have to speed up and rush over! This idea came to Zhang's mind.
As long as you rush to the front and fall into a melee battle, these riders will be beaten to pieces.
"Kill!" Zhang Yu roared angrily and came out from the crowd.
The personal soldiers felt the intention of the commander and caught up.
The other soldiers also accelerated their horses, and the speed of the entire army suddenly increased.
"Swoosh!Swoosh!" The arrows on the opposite side became even more dense.
Some people kept falling down in the Jin army formation, and some knights carrying horn bows could not bear it. They put away their cavalry and used their guns to fight back with arrows.
As for those riders holding thick horses, they should keep their hearts straight and try to stick to the horse's back as close as possible to follow Zhang.
He rushed towards Liang Jun crazy and desperately.
The knights of the Theater Camp began to scatter on both sides, but there were still some people in the middle. After shooting the last arrow, they held a group card (small round shield), swords, and irons, and collided head-on with the Pu army cavalry.
Perhaps they knew that the guy in their hands could not compete with the spear and head-on. After the first time they passed by, many people were killed and injured, they turned around and collapsed from the other direction.
"Chasing!" At this point, Zhang was no longer thinking about anything. He was now fully focused on the battle in front of him.
After the first wave of charges broke up the Liang army, the morale of the Jin army was boosted, so they bit the defeated enemy in front of them and pursued them all the way without any relaxation.
Both sides chased and fled, and soon ran out.
The light cavalry of the The Eagle Camp scattered around gathered together again, speeding up the horses, letting the Jin cavalry out of the front and central troops, and blocking more than 200 cavalry of the rear troops outside.
I don't know what happened, but their movements suddenly accelerated. For a moment, the arrows were like rain, and they picked the larger targets and shot the horses.
The rear army of Jin cavalry was mostly a gangster, and was dizzy when the sudden lifting of the rhythm.
The military academy was dismantled one by one. The soldiers rushed to find that the enemy's melee cavalry no longer dispersed easily this time, and the cavalry and archers' arrows were very tricky, shooting people and horses at will, with extremely accurate results.
The Jin cavalry rear army could not resist the enemy, and the officers suffered a large number of casualties. Finally, they could not hold on. After a round trip, they collapsed to the city gate.
He Chong from the city of Hefei looked at it, his mouth slightly opened, and his expression was shocked.
On the other end, Zhang, who had chased out for several miles, quickly felt something was wrong.
The Liang army's "defeated soldiers" were fleeing eastward, and they were chasing eastward, but at this time the earth on both sides of the south and north trembled again.
In the flash of lightning, Zhang realized in his heart: Maybe the Liang people were not defeated, they just wanted to lead them here.
Sure enough! A large number of cavalrymen turned from behind the grove in the south and had already entered a fast running state. Next, they had to speed up and give them a half-hit attack from the side.
On the northern horizon, a black line whistled from north to south.
They were wearing iron armor and holding spears and sculpted, with high morale and rushed towards them almost as if they were decisive.
It's over! An idea popped up in Zhang's mind.
No, you can't give up!
"Retreat!" he shouted loudly.
The rider behind him had disappeared without realizing it, and all the first, second and second mates died on the battlefield.
Zhang sweated from his forehead and decided to retreat with his personal soldiers first, reminding others to follow with practical actions. But at this moment, a group of light cavalry rushed behind him, but there were the soldiers of the The Legend of the Condor Heroes. There were not many people, only two or three hundred cavalry, but it was enough to bring the morale of the Jin army to the bottom.
Looking down from the air, the Jin army was only more than 400 cavalry, blocked by thousands of cavalry in the east. Hundreds of cavalry in the north and south rushed towards each other, and more than 200 cavalry and archers were around from behind, which could be said to be surrounded on all sides.
The surging wave of cavalry came with a thunderous momentum, scattering the Pu army, which was in a state of chaotic retreat.
Then it is chase and crush.
When everything was settled, the battlefield was full of unowned horses running in empty space.
In this battle, the Jin people lost the five hundred cavalry that they could fight the most.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Su Baochen led the Legend of the Condor Heroes to win the battle. The three battalions of cavalry in front of the tent went straight to the city of Hefei and stopped outside the ground with an arrow.
Zhang's head was picked up by a spear and raised high.
He Chong and others on the top of the city looked at it, and they were all as cold as cicadas.
*******
The Eastern Army led by Pugu Zhongshen seemed to be progressing faster, and they did not suffer much strong resistance along the way.
On the 20th day of the 12th lunar month, they swore a oath to set off in Huainan Garden. They carried ten days of food and grass, one man and two horses, first turned east, and then headed south.
When he marched, many of them surrendered to the county, which surprised the loyal ministers of the servant Gu and Sun Song, who served as the military supervisor.
There are not many people in Huainan County.
Jin people moved south several times, but now, in addition to the few people near the county towns, there are very few rural forts, so the effectiveness of these county towns is still positive, and at least it can provide a certain amount of supply.
By the end of the month, Yinling, Dongcheng, Quanjiao and other counties all surrendered.
In the seventh year of Kaiping in Liang (333), on the first day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Taihe in Jin Dynasty, when the 900 cavalry of Hengchong Camp, as the pioneer, arrived at the outskirts of Liyang City, this important town in Jiangbei once again closed the city gate in broad daylight.
That's not all. On the second day of the first lunar month, the second camp of Huangjia was active between Liyang and the Huaiyang hills in the north, cutting off the connection between a number of mountain military camps and Liyang and Wujiang.
The messenger came and was captured.
The scout came and was shot and killed.
Shanxiashan Yanlin, who is in charge of Liyang, completely lost contact with thousands of military lands in the Huaiyangqiu military camps. I don’t know if they are still holding on or have fallen.
It happened that it was snowing heavily and the fields were confused. Even if you climbed high and looked far away, you couldn't see clearly.
He did this, and the Pu army guarding Huaiyangqiu was the same, and they were also worried about whether Liyang was lost.
On the third day of the lunar month, the Iron Cavalry rushed to the outside of Wujiang City, but failed to persuade the surrender. He then dismounted and made attack equipment. He attacked for two consecutive days but failed.
At this point, they completely gave up their attempts to attack the city, searched for ships, claiming to cross south to Jianye, and captured "Sima Xiaoer's fourth day of the first lunar month, Pugu Zhongchen and others disappeared from the city of Liyang, headed straight to the south of the city, and climbed to Liangshan on the snowy night.
