Chapter 954: Hanging a plaque in the north city to celebrate the achievements, the Dragon and Elephant Army severely damaged the Mangqi
In history, the grassland cavalry swept the frontiers of the Central Plains, especially in autumn, and there have always been few fatal supply problems. On the other hand, every time the Central Plains cavalry, at the peak of national strength, every time they actively advance northward, they need to rely on the strength of the whole country to support the fragile supply line. The monarch of the Central Plains who truly changed this embarrassing situation was Zhao Li, the old emperor of Liyang who unified the Central Plains. His two decisions created the prosperity of the Central Plains cavalry today: one was to reject the proposal of a large group of civil officials to move the capital to Guangling Road on the grounds that the king should guard the country, and continue to use the old Tai’ancheng as the capital of a country, and at the same time formulate a very bold national policy, that is, to spare no effort to support the two Liao border troops, and to use the huge taxes of Guangling Road and Jiangnan Road to invest in the northern border of Liyang; the second decision was to allow Xu Xiao, who was very successful in leading the troops out of the capital, and to be granted the title of king to the northwest of Malaysia, so that he could face the Northern Mang directly!
The two border guards located in the north of Liyang, east and west, are both under the most elite cavalry of a country. In addition, Jizhou in the middle area has natural dangers. Veteran Yang Shenxing once trained Ji Nan infantry, known as “unique in the world”. How could it be that it was just to compete with Yan Wenluan, Beiliang, for the simple reason. The Jizhou border guards no longer need a large number of cavalry, so even if Yang Shenxing has a special liking for the cavalry, he can only follow the trend.
Kou Jianghuai, who closed his eyes and rested, subconsciously pressed the handle of the cool knife on his waist with his palm and slowly twisted it.
According to the spy, Beimang Camp was extremely rough and shabby, and three trenches were dug out, and the thin fence located behind them could be said to have fallen down after the wind. The hemp rope is tied to wooden poles, and the knots are not at all. The passage between the battalions should be neat and solemn, and soldiers are not allowed to walk around the battalions without authorization, but the five barracks are in chaos and there is no rules. Previously, hundreds of elite cavalry under Li Mofan’s command had launched a battle all the way to the Beimang Central Army camp less than 150 steps. He saw with his own eyes that the left and right battalions were in a mess, causing congestion on the camp road and chaos. Not to mention the Beiliang border army with strict military discipline, Kou Jianghuai believed that the Western Chu army should do better than Beimang.
Of course, this does not mean that the Beimang Cavalry’s combat power is weak. On the contrary, because Beimang Grassland is used to the cavalry’s speed, it is difficult to be as unforgettable as the Central Plains military affairs habits as the Central Plains generals.
If any army in the Central Plains confronts the Beimang tens of thousands of iron hooves, who would have the heart to explore the mistakes of the Beimang cavalry setting up camps and camps, they could only rely on dangerous passes, or defend the giant city to death. Even if they dare to go out of the city to fight in the field, they could only rely on heavy armored infantry to form formations and resist horses, and rely on dense bows and crossbows to kill and injure the enemy cavalry.
Kou Jianghuai has worked so hard to build on one premise: even if the Beiliang Iron Cavalry faces the Beimang Cavalry, which has the advantage in numbers, they will dare to fight, be able to fight, and be able to fight and win!
Kou Jianghuai suddenly opened his eyes and sneered: “Your grassland cavalry began to become arrogant from prosperity to decline, and they continued to continueKnocking the north of the pass, bullying the Central Plains for more than 400 years, treating the big city pass as nothing, and being like the wind! ”
Ten thousand cavalry behind Kou Jianghuai began to advance without any rushing or slowing down.
These ten thousand cavalry were extremely strange and particularly majestic.
In the tent of the commander of the Beimang Central Army, Huang Songpu stood in his armor and knife, calm and composed, looking at the dozens of ten thousand men with huge age gaps in the tent. There were both confidants who were personally supported, and several wealthy families in the Southern Dynasty Longguan, as well as young and strong generals who had simple backgrounds and achieved a high position with their simple military achievements.
Huang Songpu said in a deep voice: “This time, the 30,000 Dragon and Elephant Army of Liuzhou have appeared. Perhaps because he knew that he could not defend Qingcang City, but was unwilling to expose the Qingyuan Army Town of the western gate of Liangzhou to our noses, he wanted to make a desperate move, which was save trouble! You are all experienced and do not need to nag about the trivial matters of this general. Just remember one thing. Our troops have an absolute advantage, so we must make good use of them. Apart from the rear baggage battalion, the remaining four battalions, after quickly decapitating the camp, the cavalry formation should not be stretched too long, and must support each other and must never advance without authorization. This time we fought against Liuzhou, Taiping Ling gave us four words, and we will win if we lose a little! “
Huang Songpu looked at everyone, then clasped his fists north and said, “Everyone! I, Huang Songpu, was nearly 70 years old. Even the King of the Southern Court resigned. If it weren’t for the unfavorable war, I wouldn’t have appeared here today. I have no desire for anything in my life, but among you, the oldest person is only fifty, and the highest official rank is only the third rank of the Southern Dynasty! After conquering Liuzhou, the most meritorious person, no matter how Your Majesty rewards me, Huang Songpu’s title of general, please take it first! “
Everyone in the tent looked excited.
In the Central Plains, the urgent mobilization of tens of thousands of troops could not be launched in a short while.
But the Beimang Cavalry was different. When the ten thousand commanders hurried back to the camp, the sound of huge trumpets sounded melodiously in the four camps.
However, because the appearance of the 30,000 Liuzhou elite cavalry was too incredible and the speed of advancing was too rapid, the formation of the three battalions in front was still slightly lagging behind, and to a certain extent lost some of the initiative.
The cavalry charge, the huge penetration force brought by the weight of the war horses and the speed of running, and the terrifying penetration force brought by the iron spears in the hands of the cavalry, all of which needed to be brewed for a considerable distance.
Even further, when both sides have enough time to launch a charge, if one side can launch a collision formation at the peak of the rush, the other side will suffer a great loss as long as it is exerted due to excessive force.
The combat power between the battalions can be seen at a glance at this moment.
Huang Songpu’s personal elite cavalry was completed as soon as possible, and layers of front lines were spread out at the front of the middle road.
The direct troops of the Jia-shaped Haojia clan of Longguan followed closely, but hundreds of cavalry equipment were the top elites of the heavy cavalry and were not exposed.noodle.
The cavalry gathered together from the high gates of the Southern Dynasty, Yi characters, were in chaos. Although they were not afraid of fighting, the war was imminent. This disorderly spirit could easily affect the pace of the war horses.
The reason why the cavalry is a cavalry is that war horses are crucial!
Regarding the Beimang Cavalry with a scattered military discipline, Chen Zhibao, the former Beiliang guardian, has always ridiculed them as “infantrymen on horseback”!
In Beiliang, every war horse, every sword, and every spear seemed to be filled with the old rules accumulated by people and soldiers in their lives.
On the battlefield, no matter how many achievements or the degree of qualifications, military generals are allowed to use long halberds and horse lances without authorization, they are allowed to wear gold and silver armor without authorization, and they are not allowed to go out of the front line alone!
The vast yellow sand land is surrounded by vast land, and the cavalry of the Northern Liang is like a tide on the Guangling River, surging and surging.
Huang Songpu, who had already been on a horse in armor, looked into the distance, held the iron spear in his hand, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there were still four hundred grass railings left around the periphery. Otherwise, once this Liuzhou cavalry broke forward quietly and broke through three miles, they might not have such a chance to be able to make up their camps and arrange their arrays, and perhaps thousands of casualties would be added.
Huang Songpu turned his head and glanced.
The current situation is still acceptable. Although it is still a bit hasty, especially because its right-wing cavalry is difficult to keep up with the central and left wings, the Beimang cavalry has always had a tradition: 30,000 cavalry form one army. That is, on the battlefield, three ten thousand captains led 30,000 cavalry troops to form a main field force, which was enough to deal with all emergency situations, whether to fight or retreat, how to retreat, who seduce the enemy, who disturbs the formation, or who intersects the hall, and the mutual cover between the heavy and light cavalry, are all familiar with each other.
If the Northern Liang cavalry is like a strict private school teacher, then the grassland cavalry is a naturally smart and unruly rude man. In Huang Songpu’s view, both sides have reached the extreme of their respective combat power, and there is no distinction between high and low on the battlefield. It only depends on the speed of their respective generals’ response!
Huang Songpu raised his iron spear high, grabbed the horse’s belly, and roared angrily: “My sons, follow me to break Liuzhou and enter Liangzhou!”
General Huang Songpu took the lead.
This is true for all ten thousand men, thousands of men and centuries in the battalions of the Beimang West Front.
Being brave and fearless is definitely not unique to Beiliang!
In Beimang’s eyes, the Liyang soldiers and horses in the Central Plains, which seemed to be far away in the sky, were not considered anything at all. Only the Beiliang border army that was close to us was worthy of fighting with our Beimang cavalry!
The first Liangmang battle was mostly siege, and Beimang did break through the Hutou City, Youzhou Wogong City and Luanhe City.
The main force of the cavalry on both sides of Liangmang probably feels that it is not full of pleasure.
Then the second Liangmang battle began from the Miyun Mountain Pass in the Western Regions toThe current Liuzhou, the hinterland of the Southern Dynasties, and then to the future Liangzhou Pass, cavalry wars will continue!
