In the area within Wuyang County, there are hills such as Qinglong Mountain, Qishan Mountain and Baosheng Mountain. They are actually shallow hills. The main terrain of Wuyang County is flat and open, mostly plains.
Such an area could allow Lu Xuan's three hundred cavalry to race quickly.
When Lu Xuan entered the army, as time passed, the distance between him and He Zong became closer and closer.
Although He Zong was a little older, he still rode on horseback in order to show his dignity. The men under his command are all infantry, and they are riding horses. They don't need to be too fast to ensure that they can surpass most of the soldiers.
Beside He Zong, there were soldiers carrying the big flag representing He Zong, and there were flags flying around him.
He Zong looked calm, calm and relaxed. He did not take the bandits in Qinglong Mountain into his eyes at all. In addition, He Zong was in charge of the local area and had experienced peace for many years and had no experience in fighting.
Zhou Shi took people to Qinglong Mountain to capture Xiangrui. He did not know that there were enemies in Qinglong Mountain, so he did not arrange sentinels. He Zong knew clearly that there were enemies in Qinglong Mountain, but he did not send sentinels and only led his army forward.
So much so that he didn't even know that Lu Xuan was coming to kill him.
He Zong looked at Qian Li, who was leading the army at the side, and said, "Qian Li, when our army arrives at Qinglong Mountain, we must capture alive the leader of the bandits under the banner of Ren Qi. I will let him know how Zhou Shi died."
Qian Li is forty years old and quite obese.
When he rode on the road, his horse was struggling a little. Moreover, like Zhou Shi, he had a big belly and had long been neglected in fighting.
Qian Li was also confident and said loudly: "Don't worry, Mr. Fu. Three thousand people will be killed. A few thieves can be wiped out with a snap of a finger."
He Zong stroked his beard under his chin, with a look of approval on his face, and promised: "Qian Li, you are an old man who has been with me for six or seven years. This time the bandits have been eliminated, and the magistrate of Wuyang County is vacant. You can go Served as the magistrate of Wuyang County."
Qian Li suddenly became excited.
He has always been a military commander and has nothing to gain. Now, He Zong promised him to serve as county magistrate, which was an opportunity to make money.
Qian Li looked excited and said loudly: "Please rest assured, Mr. Fu, we will definitely win in one battle when we attack the bandits."
He Zong smiled and nodded, feeling even more proud.
Controlling people's hearts is that simple.
If you are willing to give benefits, everything will be arranged easily. Although Zhou Shi, an obedient and sensible person, was gone, Qian Li was also enterprising and obedient. After Qian Li became the magistrate of Wuyang County, he also had people he could use.
He Zong was holding the horse's reins in one hand and stroking his beard with the other. Taking advantage of the gap in his hurry, he actually had the leisure to enjoy the scenery on both sides.
It is not yet May, the weather is not very hot, and the surrounding scenery is pleasant.
Very suitable for outing and playing.
When He Zong was leading the way, less than a mile away from He Zong, the three hundred cavalry led by Lu Xuan began their final acceleration. Lu Xuan came from Qinglong Mountain. He ran at full speed at first to close the distance, relaxed a little in the middle to recover his strength, and then rushed at full speed when he finally got close.
Boom! !
Three hundred war horses trampled the ground with great force, splashing smoke and dust all over the ground.
The cavalry spread out, as if a sharp sword passed by, as fast as thunder. When Lu Xuan could already see He Zong's army rushing ahead, his eyes became brighter and brighter, he pointed his spear forward and shouted loudly: "Attack!"
With an order, the army attacked.
"attack!"
Zhao Yun also shouted loudly.
Three hundred cavalry roared and charged.
The deafening sound echoed across the vast plains and reached He Zong's ears.
When He Zong saw the cavalry coming from a distance, his expression changed slightly. Although his eyes were a little panicked, he did not lose his position. He decisively ordered: "Qian Li, mobilize all the troops to press forward. The bandits don't have many troops. They are strong outsiders and cadres inside. I hold them back, surround and annihilate them.”
"kill!"
Qian Li followed and gave the order.
The order flag wavered, and the order soldiers quickly conveyed the order.
A large number of troops rushed forward, rushing in a swarm without any order.
Under normal circumstances, the cavalry charges the infantry. If the infantry is elite enough, obeys orders and prohibitions, is not afraid of death, and forms a spear formation to counterattack, and the cavalry attacks them head-on, they will die.
Because the cavalry offensive cannot penetrate the infantry defense line, it will be unable to escape and will lose its maximum mobility advantage.
The best arrangement for the cavalry is to use their own mobility advantages to shoot from a distance with bows and arrows like flying kites, or to hunt while roaming. The infantry regiments attacked in large numbers, and the cavalry retreated. As soon as the infantry retreated, the cavalry immediately mounted their horses to cover them up.
Or, when the two armies are fighting inextricably, the cavalry rushes out as a surprise force, acting as a sudden thrust to decide the outcome in a single battle.
Now, He Zong doesn't talk about rules and regulations.
Lu Xuan found He Zong's troops rushing out in a swarm. He felt disdainful and just charged with all his strength. In the blink of an eye, the people he led reached the front of He Zong's infantry.
Lu Xuan stabbed a soldier with his spear, and with the power of the horse's sprint, it pierced the soldier's body, and then drew out a cloud of blood.
Xu Chu slashed with his long sword, and the blade fell on the soldier, splitting the soldier in half.
Zhao Yunlong's bright silver spear swept across, and only the sound of banging was heard, and the soldiers blocking the front were pulled away one after another.
The three of them joined He Zong's team.
Three hundred cavalrymen followed, dropping their sharp swords and killing the officers and soldiers one by one.
The fighting on the battlefield, without the anxiety of fighting, without the stalemate, directly evolved into a one-sided massacre. Lu Xuan's cavalry continued to advance like plowing through the courtyard and sweeping holes. Moreover, after a confrontation, a large number of soldiers under He Zong were frightened and fled when they saw the cavalry coming to kill them.
Wherever Lu Xuan led his people, they were invincible.
He Zong's soldiers were killed.
He Zong saw the army's defeat on the battlefield, and saw the cavalry sweeping across like a hurricane. His beautiful face no longer had the confidence and calmness it had before, his face turned pale, and his legs were trembling.
After all, he had not retreated yet, and further ordered a siege, asking the soldiers to resist.
Although Lu Xuan's three hundred cavalry were small in number, they were all battle-hardened soldiers with strong combat effectiveness and they were cavalry. Even if He Zong ordered to resist, it was of no avail. No one could form a defense line at all.
When Lu Xuan was charging to kill, his eyes fell in the direction of He Zong's banner. He held his spear and rode his horse to attack in the direction of He Zong.
Xu Chu and Zhao Yunce responded.
Three hundred cavalry followed behind, constantly killing in the direction of He Zong.
The distance between the two sides quickly closed.
When He Zong found out that Lu Xuan was coming, he was confused for a moment. In a short time, these people broke through the military formation and came towards him. Especially when He Zong saw the black torrent sweeping in, he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and his eyes became more panicked.
Qian Li's calves were trembling, and he quickly persuaded: "Master Fu, the bandits are too brave, our army collapsed. Retreat, we will immediately retreat to Wuyang County and use the city to resist."
"Withdraw troops!"
After He Zong came to his senses, he ordered to decisively turn the direction of his horses and retreat.
Qian Li also retreated together.
The order was passed on, and the troops under He Zong retreated across the board, further leading to a complete rout.
