Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

"Report!"

A sentry in front of you galloped forward and reported: "In the middle of the rule, the enemy is found ahead."

Cheng Qiu frowned: "How many enemy troops are there, who is the leader?"

The detective replied: "The number of enemy troops should be around 10,000. The handsome flag has the word'Yan' written on it, but I don't know who it is."

"The character for Yan?" Cheng Qiu muttered a word, and a doubt flashed in his eyes.

"I heard that Han Sui's son-in-law was named Yan Xing. Could this be the man who led the army? I heard that this man is quite brave." Huang Yan, the prefect of Jiuquan, replied.

"Yan Xing?" Cheng Qiu frowned, and told the detective: "Go and investigate again."

The sentry galloped away, and Cheng Qiu said to Huang Yan: "Huang Junshou, you led the army as the flanks. Later, the enemy army came slowly. Someone led the army to fight, and Huang Junshou led the army to attack the enemy. How about?"

Huang Yan nodded: "Everything is up to Cheng Zhizhong."

"Well, that's the case." Cheng Qiu nodded, and then grabbed the reins with both hands, and looked at the front carefully. He was always waiting for the battle to come, and he must not be trusted by a negative governor.

The gunpowder smoke filled the distance, and a sound of horseshoe rumbling continued to be heard, and a black line appeared at the junction of heaven and earth, and then this black line became thicker and thicker, finally showing its prototype.

Step on!

Thousands of iron knights are moving like a mountain, a black lacquer covering the earth, countless war horses are connected together, as if a giant beast running slowly on the ground, opened its blood basin and opened its mouth, trying to take the world Everything in between was swallowed in his mouth.

A black Yan character flag stood upright in the center of the army, waving in the wind. And under the banner of the general, wearing a black helmet and black armor, running in the wind, it was Yan Xing.

Yan Xing glanced around and smiled knowingly when he saw the yellow general flag next to Cheng.

"Speed ​​up, speed up, and crush the enemy!"

Yan Xing let out a whistle, and pointed his spear at the middle Cheng character flag. Behind him, nearly 10,000 iron knights whizzed and rushed towards the enemy force on the opposite side.

This army is a uniform of 10,000 cavalry. Even if the northwest is a place to produce horses, it is not easy to gather more than 10,000 cavalry. Han Sui’s army of nearly 100,000 is no more than 30,000 cavalry, and the remaining 70,000 are Stepper, and he specifically allocated ten thousand cavalry to his son-in-law.

In contrast, although the Liangzhou coalition on the opposite side has 15,000 in number, which is half more than Yan Xing’s army, the total number of cavalry in the two armies is 7,000, and the remaining 8,000 are pawns. .

Among Cheng Qiu's five thousand pawns were three thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry. Seeing ten thousand cavalry from the opposite side galloping forward, Cheng Qiu hurriedly placed the infantry behind the cavalry and placed the cavalry on the front.

Liangzhou horses are rampant all over the world, Xiliang cavalry has been brave and good at fighting since ancient times, and compared with the pawns, it is unavoidable to withstand a blow.

"assault!"

Cheng Qiu also ordered three thousand cavalry to launch an assault. After all, cavalry relies on impact. Most of the cavalry in this era are light cavalry. The correct usage should be harassment. In the Battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Zan’s Bai Ma Yicong is an example.

Three thousand cavalry attacked forward, Yan Xing's ten thousand cavalry and three thousand cavalry were getting closer and closer, and Yan Xing couldn't help letting out a roar.

"kill!"

boom!

The two armies collided head-to-head, and Yan Xing took the lead. The cavalry on both sides faced each other, brandishing the long and narrow sabers in their hands, and slashing towards each other's chest.

Not only the cavalry on horsebacks were fighting each other, but even the war horses smashed their feet from time to time. Seeing the unpleasant guy, they immediately opened their mouths and bit them.

However, Yan Xing has a large number of troops, and Yan Xing is even more likely to take the lead personally, so Cheng Qiu's three thousand cavalry can be described as losing ground.

The spear in Yan Xing's hand swept left and right, and a cavalry was offloaded with one shot. He had already picked out seven or eight Liangzhou soldiers on the way.

Although the three thousand cavalrymen quickly fell into a decline, these were all expected, after all, the enemy army was more than three times the own army.

Although Cheng Qiu is in control, he has been in the frontier for a long time, and he is quite military. Although Yan Xing led the cavalry force to break through the obstacle of three thousand cavalry, but as long as the defender of Jiuquan County intercepted and killed from the side in time, the two thousand pawns were in front. If the two armies are caught up in a melee, they have a chance to win.

Because once the cavalry is in chaos, it loses impact and mobility. Without these two advantages, the cavalry is not necessarily stronger than the infantry.

But... Cheng Qiu glanced at Huang Yan's troops on the right side in confusion, why didn't they attack at this time?

"Waving the flag, tell Huang Junshou to send troops immediately!"

Cheng Qiu gave the order, and the flag-bearer immediately shook the flag left and right desperately to signal the friendly forces on the other side to cooperate in the fight, but Huang Yan remained standing still, seemingly unable to see the waving flag.

Just when Cheng Qiu couldn't bear it and almost sent a scout to directly inform Huang Yan, the defenders of Jiuquan County finally moved slowly.

Seeing five thousand cavalry galloping out, like a flash of lightning tearing through the clouds, Cheng Qiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As the five thousand cavalry rushed closer and closer, Cheng Qiu suddenly realized something was wrong. The cavalry of Jiuquan County didn't advance head-on into Yan Xing's cavalry formation, how could they get closer and closer to their two thousand infantry formation?

And the remaining two thousand foot soldiers didn't think much about it. After all, how could the friendly army rush towards him directly?

However, as the distance got closer and closer, Cheng Qiu finally couldn't help it, and shouted: "Array! The formation is dense, the swords and shields are erected, hurry!"

The two thousand pawns were taken aback, but most of them did not obey Cheng Qiu's words. Only a few of the more vigilant pawns erected their shields and stood ready.

When the formation of the two thousand steppers fell apart, the five thousand defenders rushed straight up, like a huge palm pushing it flat, and slapped on the army formation fiercely.

boom!

It was just an impact, and the two thousand stepped pawns were immediately rushed to the ground, and the two thousand stepped pawns that were hit by the head were immediately stunned.

Are we not friendly forces? Why don't they attack the rebels, but instead kill us?

Under the dominance of the unknown thoughts of the enemy and us, when the five thousand cavalry troops rushed into the battle, the two thousand infantry did not even raise their swords to resist, and they broke apart.

"Don't mess up, move closer to someone, and resist."

Although Cheng Qiu tried his best to call out, there were only more than five hundred soldiers and horses gathered by his side. Most of the pawns were scattered by the cavalry and fled directly to the other side. After all, a brave man is definitely unable to stop him. Troops of cavalry rushed into battle.
