After waiting for a long time, Zhang Guozhu, who was arrayed on the east bank of the Beiluo River, became a little excited when he saw the rebel army approaching in mighty force. Although he was a little tired after a night of toil, he was no longer so tired when he thought of a fight, and he couldn't I'm tired, my life is at stake and I must cheer up!
Array!
Archers in position!
Once the rebels approached, they would first shoot with strong bows and then charge into the formation with cavalry. Even if the opponent had the upper hand, they would not be able to withstand several rounds of sprints. Zhang Guozhu discussed the tactics with his subordinates, and he would deal with them as soon as they waited for the rebels to cross the river!
Who knew!
The bandits were waiting in formation on the other side of the river, but they didn't take the initiative to attack!
I wipe it!
**The kid is able to keep his composure and is also smart enough.
Obviously, whoever crosses the river first at this time, the opponent will definitely charge with cavalry! Then whoever will suffer!
If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If you don't move, I will make you move. Zhang Guozhu ordered dozens of his men to cross the river west to provoke the rebels, but they were quickly shot back by the rebels' arrows, which angered the anti-government soldiers. The subordinates were clamoring to kill him, but Zhang Guozhu yelled and scolded him, but the other party was not in a hurry. We are in a hurry, let's waste it, let's see who can outlast the other.
Sure enough, Guan Dilong couldn't hold on any longer. If the fighting in Dali hadn't started, he might have been wearing it out for a while, but the fighting had started over there. If he continued to use up the force, it would be delaying the opportunity to fight.
He was a little surprised that the officers and soldiers on the other side were so calm. Logically speaking, given the past behavior of the officers and soldiers, two thousand cavalry would have been unable to hold back and rushed over. It seemed that the commander was quite stable this time.
Since you can't defeat the other party, let's go for it!
As Guan Dilong shouted, more than a thousand cavalry clapped their horses and rushed towards the river bank. When they were less than a hundred meters away from the river bank, they opened their bows and fired rapidly. However, they were met with an even crazier rain of arrows. When the officers and soldiers on the other side saw each other, they rushed forward. When he came, he had already stretched his bow and waited for a long time. When he was approaching, there was a violent storm, and in the blink of an eye, he shot down dozens of rebels. At the same time, the rebels also rushed to the river bank and galloped across the river. Without Zhang Guozhu's order, the officers and soldiers jumped on their horses. They rushed over and blocked the river bank, shooting arrows and fighting.
The cavalry of the two armies were fighting fiercely on the river bank. Zhang Guozhu, who was standing on the mound behind, was watching with a telescope with a slightly satisfied expression. The first wave overturned at least a hundred rebel cavalry. Although the rebel army was numerous, it was not enough. However, the cavalry was half the number of our own, and it was as if they were tormenting them without any fun.
But soon he frowned. The bandit army actually deliberately placed the battlefield on the river and the river bank, so as to offset the advantage of the cavalry. Damn, these thieves are really thieves.
The thieves rushed into the river but did not rush to land. They deliberately dragged the officers and soldiers into the river. The river was slippery and the banks were uneven. In this way, the advantage of the cavalry was greatly reduced, and the infantry from behind rushed in, taking advantage of their strength to try to encircle the officers and soldiers' cavalry. On the river.
Not only was the surface of the river slippery, but the ice layer was getting thinner as the weather got warmer. The war horses were trampling on the ice as they scuffled on it, and the ice layer could not withstand the cracks. In the blink of an eye, the men and horses fell into the water, and they couldn't care less about fighting each other and struggling.
Guan Dilong couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy when he saw this. Although this wave of casualties was a bit heavy, it was worth it to successfully drag the officers and soldiers' cavalry into the quagmire. Now they are evenly matched, and it depends on how ruthless you are when they meet on a narrow road!
Seeing that the ice on the river broke, many horses fell into the water, and the cavalry turned into infantry, struggling to catch each other and fight on the river bank. The infantry of the rebel army had joined the battle at this time, and both sides were fighting at the risk of their lives. For a while, there was no distinction between them. .
This group of thieves was really cruel. Zhang Guozhu frowned, thinking that he had a back-up plan, otherwise he might have suffered a big loss today. In fact, he should really be glad that Chang Yu was not with him at this time, otherwise he would have directly Just kick him away. This is not how the battle begins.
At least Chang Yu wouldn't use troops like this. If the river bank is deep and steep, stick to the river channel. If it is frozen and flat like the Beiluo River, retreat hundreds of meters to form a formation. Wait for it to rush over and lose your footing, and then rush back into the river with the cavalry. You can either The advantage of the cavalry can be fully utilized without falling into the river...
It's just that without Chang Yu, everyone has his own way of using troops. Zhang Guozhu is only at this level, and he is still complacent and thinks he is pretty awesome.
"Kill them, slaughter them all, those war horses will be ours, their clothes and money will be ours too, they are all ours!" Guan Dilong roared!
Zhang Guozhu, of course, couldn't hear what he was crying and howling. He held up his telescope and could only see dozens of horsemen in the enemy's rear formation watching the battle. Knowing that they were their commanders, he couldn't help but reveal a sneer on his face. Damn it, you can't jump much. Got it!
Guan Dilong's little trick worked. He dragged the cavalry into the river and was surrounded. They couldn't get up for a while, and a third of them became infantry. He took advantage of the advantage of his troops to encircle him. In a short time, he But after half a stick of incense, the officers and soldiers were defeated and retreated steadily along the river. The battle began to get bigger and bigger. When Guan Dilong saw this, his eyes were fixed on the high mound on the other bank. There should be the commander of the officers and soldiers there. He is going to attack him. If he is captured or simply beaten back, the officers and soldiers will be defeated.
But all the troops on hand were put into the battlefield, and he could not draw troops for a while, so he gritted his teeth and decided to do it himself. Seeing that the other side only had more than a hundred cavalry, he had dozens of personal soldiers around him. Although it was a little less, but Isn't it abnormal to use less to hit more? Officers and soldiers are like bears. As long as you are cruel, they will be afraid.
"Brothers, let's go and capture that dog general!" Guan Dilong pointed towards the mound of dirt on the other side of the bank in the distance. The soldiers around him howled and shouted in agreement. When the horse was about to find a safe ice surface to go around, he suddenly heard that There was thunder from behind, and I looked back to the northwest with doubts in my heart. It was thundering, and hundreds of horses were rushing towards me.
"Hey, why are they here?" Guan Dilong frowned, thinking that the men left behind at Crouching Tiger Mountain were also coming. Could it be that they had received orders from Liu Fangliang to go to support Dali with all their strength.
Just as he was wondering, a soldier beside him suddenly shouted: "Boss, that doesn't seem to be one of ours!"
Guan Dilong was startled. He squinted his eyes and took a closer look. He was immediately horrified. Before he could react, someone beside him shouted: "Look over there." He saw hundreds of horseback arrows coming from the southwest like arrows.
Fuck, we’re surrounded! Guan Dilong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and had goosebumps all over his body. He wanted to be cautious, but he didn't expect to do it anyway. It was obvious that the officers and soldiers had sent a group of cavalry across the river before dawn to circle behind him. And it's still relatively far away, otherwise it would be impossible for my own people to not detect it.
This bitch is really hateful, so damn cunning. Guan Dilong was filled with hatred at this moment, but there was nothing he could do about it. In other words, there was nothing he could do. The opponents were all cavalry, and they unexpectedly rushed in from behind, and there was no time to stop them. It can't be stopped either.
So he acted like a fool and ran away!
He ran away regardless of the thousands of soldiers and horses who were fighting hard on the river bank and had the upper hand, because he knew that if he ran any slower, he would be left behind!
Zhang Guozhu on the other side saw his ambush coming in a roundabout way, and laughed happily. Unexpectedly, a sudden flash of inspiration, and he sent nearly a thousand cavalry to take advantage of the foggy night to make a roundabout way, and actually managed to hide it from the rebel army, and it had a miraculous effect. He suddenly felt that he He is simply his God of War!
The bandits on the riverbank had gained the upper hand and were able to defeat the officers and soldiers just by exerting all their strength. When they were in a state of excitement, a bad feeling suddenly came over them. This feeling was so real that they felt the sound of killing coming from behind them. Suddenly looking back, holy shit, it’s really behind me!
More than a thousand cavalry troops joined the battle, and the situation suddenly turned around. The rebels had no intention and were unable to fight anymore. Some people hurriedly surrendered and others fled. Those who reacted slowly were either hacked to death or trampled to death by their horses.
The battle ended in less than half an hour. The rebels suffered heavy casualties and nearly a thousand people were captured. Even Guan Dilong, who was about to flee when he saw the situation was bad, did not escape in the end and was captured alive and brought to Zhang Guozhu.
My luck has been surprisingly good lately! Zhang Guozhu grinned and looked in the direction of Dali, wondering what was going on over there?
General, why not go straight to Crouching Tiger Mountain and level the barracks! Some departments will propose taking advantage of the victory to advance! Being scolded by Zhang Guozhu, what a joke, I don't know how many points I have, I won the battle and I'm gone!
If he hadn't used a dirty trick this time, he might not have been able to do it head-on. What's more, the soldiers and horses were exhausted at this time, and they ran dozens of miles away to capture the other people's barracks? Even the eunuch wouldn't dare to do so!
Besides, that’s not your job!
He only needs to block the reinforcements, and he doesn't want to be too handsy for anything else.
