They originally came here to show off and cheer! At least that's what the princess told them when they went on the expedition! But who knew they would actually fight their first battle, a life-or-death battle!
Their bodies were covered with scars and blood was constantly dripping. The Cangshan Cavalry's combat effectiveness was obviously insufficient, their consciousness gradually became blurred, and the speed and strength of wielding weapons were lacking. They became confused in their hearts, and even the war horses under their crotches became weak!
Has it been realized? Is this the end of the battle? Death may be the fate of soldiers, and it is also their only choice now. At least they completed their mission and did not embarrass King Yongle. They did not take a step back, nor did they allow the enemy to break through the defense line!
The comrades in front of them fell one by one. They were unable to fight anymore and gave up! They gave up fighting and survival. They had become abandoned. They had no way to survive. They saw that legendary thing, despair!
The familiar sound of horse hoofs sounded in the ears. Just when Cangshan Cavalry was about to welcome the glory, a cavalry team suddenly rushed out from behind. This group of cavalry charged bravely and decisively. After rushing into the battlefield, they immediately changed their original situation of losing. , fight bravely with the enemy!
Li Hanrui roared, "Kill me! No one will be spared!"
"Yes!" Liu Bo brandished the Huanshou Sword in his hand and rushed into the enemy's camp, firing his bows left and right. Li Hanrui led the cavalry to charge behind him, his spears flying up and down, and the enemy's corpses were constantly being knocked away! The border guards were like a sharp sword, tearing a hole from the enemy's body, and then began to push the enemy back continuously! .Ь.
Thirty thousand cavalry were charged by the Far Eastern Army, and more than four thousand were killed. No one knows how many cavalry the enemy dispatched this time? But this time the reinforcements gave Cangshan Cavalry a chance to breathe. After a short rest, Cangshan Cavalry joined the battle again and attacked the enemy from the flank!
In this way, both sides attacked from the front and side, completely disrupting the enemy's formation, causing heavy losses, with visual estimates of over 10,000 casualties! When the local general saw that he was going to lose if he continued fighting like this, he immediately ordered a retreat!
Nearly 20,000 cavalry quickly evacuated. Relying on the speed of the cavalry, 20,000 people quickly evacuated the battlefield. The Ming army won the first battle. This could not help but make the morale of the Ming army high. Everyone cheered loudly!
Seeing the cavalry retreat, Zhou Tianxia's face turned livid. This was completely different from what he expected! The Cangshan Cavalry's combat effectiveness was just strong, but why did the Ming army still have such a strong combat effectiveness? Could it be that their poison didn't work? impossible?
The only thing Zhou Tianxia can think of is Ling Huazhen! Could it be that this old man used magic to detoxify the enemy's soldiers? Otherwise, even if they are not dead at this moment, they should have become incompetent, but now it seems that is clearly not the case!
Zhou Tianxia raised his hand, "Sound the whistle and withdraw the troops!"
"yes!"
【Buzz...! ] A horn sounded, and the enemy troops began to retreat slowly.
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the sky. At this moment, the sun had turned to the west. It was already afternoon. This battle lasted for a whole day. Both sides suffered injuries, but fortunately, the enemy's casualties were greater than his own!
"Sun Yan!"
"The general is here!"
"Clean the battlefield immediately and transport all the enemy's weapons, armor, horses, etc. back to the military camp!"
"Yes!" Sun Yan rushed forward with five thousand Qilin Guards to clean the battlefield!
Zhao Xuanyi and Tang Mi returned directly to the military camp. Li Yukun, Li Hanrui and other generals also all retreated to the camp!
After everyone had lunch, they gathered in the Chinese army's tent. Zhao Xuanyi looked at the sand table and couldn't help but smile, "I didn't expect the Cangshan Cavalry to be so powerful! Today the Cangshan Cavalry lost 13,000 people, but with the cooperation of the second brother, a total of Kill more than 40,000 enemies, what a great victory!"
Everyone couldn't help but nod after hearing this. Li Yukun sighed, "Such an elite army is actually hidden in Yunnan. If we had come to help earlier, we probably wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses!"
Li Yukun's words were meant for everyone present, and the implication of Li Yukun's words was clearly that he was talking about King Yongle. Everyone understood it, but no one dared to say anything! They all lowered their heads! .Ь.
"My lord, how shall we fight next?" Tang Tianli asked.
Zhao Xuanyi looked outside
He looked at the sand table again and said, "The enemy will not attack this afternoon, but they will definitely start a night battle!"
"Another night battle? Aren't they afraid of losing again?" Tang Tianli said with a smile.
"Zhou Tianxia is a person who is not afraid of losing, and he also has the capital to spend money!"
"Then let's prepare for a night battle?" Li Hanrui asked.
Zhao Xuanyi did not speak, smiled slightly, turned to look at Tang Mi, Tang Mi also smiled, and then said, "The art of war is a strange word. Even if we can guess the opponent's tactics, if we are led by the enemy all the time, then we You will always be at a disadvantage! You can’t win!”
"Miss Tang is smart!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
"..." Everyone looked at each other, wondering who could explain what these two people were talking about?
"Son-in-law, what are you talking about?" Li Yukun asked.
"It's very simple. As long as we give them another blow during the day and make them afraid, they won't dare to attack again at night! It proves that we are stronger than them!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
"You mean...fight back?"
"That's right, and we can't wait, now! Send troops to attack immediately. They have just been defeated. They are probably very angry. We send an army to deliberately expose them in front of them. They can't send all their troops to resist. They will only Send a small army to resist!"
"As long as we severely damage this team, they will naturally be afraid! They won't dare to harass us again tonight!"
Li Yukun nodded, "Attack people first, attack hearts first! Yes, but who is going to do it?"
Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at Tang Tianli, "Tang Tianli, you and Wang Yunlong are leading three thousand Qilin Guards and are ready to go to war!".Ь.
"Yes!" the two shouted, "but... Your Majesty, are there only three thousand of us?"
"What about this...?" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he looked aside!
In King Yong'an's military camp, Zhou Tianxia stood in the military tent. The three old men in front of him had very pale faces! Zhou Tianxia glared in front of him. Today's defeat was too complete, with a loss of 40,000 people. Now his troops are basically the same as the enemy, so he has no advantage!
"Son, how did you fight this battle today? This is not like a battle you can fight!" Zhu Tianyou said very displeasedly.
"Father, today's battle was caused by my son's improper command. My son doesn't want to find an excuse! The opponent's victory today was all due to one person!" Zhou Tianxia said very sincerely.
"one person?"
"Ling Hua Zhen!"
"What?" Zhu Tianyou was shocked, "How do you say this?"
"My son poisoned the enemy's army before, and it was Fan Bang's poison. They couldn't remove it so easily. Now it seems that there is only one possibility, that is, Ling Hua really helps and removes the poison. Otherwise, the enemy will at least lose their Half the fighting power!"
Zhou Tianxia's words made everyone very confused. Ling Hua was really a legendary figure. Even if he wanted to get rid of him, it was impossible. In this situation, no one had a better way!
"What are you going to do next?" Zhu Tianyou asked.
"Son, are you planning to... tonight?"
"Report...!" A scout ran into the military tent, "Report to your lord, enemy troops were found four kilometers outside the military camp and are attacking our army at this moment!"
"What did you say?" Zhu Tianyou stood up, his heart pounding. It seemed that the enemy was planning to take advantage of the victory and pursue him! We just defeated our vanguard army during the day, and now we are counterattacking?
"How many enemies are there?" Zhou Tianxia asked hurriedly.
"About twenty thousand! They are all cavalry!"
Zhou Tianxia was very calm, "Father, don't panic, my son will deal with them now!" After Zhou Tianxia finished speaking, he immediately rushed out of the military tent, "Immediately mobilize 10,000 cavalry, 5,000 archers, and 10,000 axemen to follow me on the expedition!" "
"Yes!" The messenger rushed to mobilize troops!
Muchengzhuo came over and said, "Let me lead the troops!"
