Chapter 320: Cavalry Battle in the North Shore of Wo Water

"I hope that people will live long and share the beauty of the moon with thousands of miles away", "The bright moon rises on the sea, and the ends of the world share this time." Since ancient times, literati and poets have always been willing to spare their writing and writing about Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the heaviest festivals in the world. The bright moon hangs high and the family reunites. Every time around Mid-Autumn Festival, they must prepare carefully and make the whole family reunite.

However, in this great disaster, the world is full of turmoil, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow. Everyone has put out their last strength and struggles to the death in this world where people cannibalize. No one focuses on this Mid-Autumn Festival. From Kaifeng to Runing, in the southeast of Henan, birds seem to suddenly lose their talented voices. Everyone's homes are busy, and the people in the city are desperately preparing to store grains. The mixed grain noodles on the market have increased by half, and those villages or towns, people

They were preparing for desertion disaster, carrying their insignificant family assets into the car, and preparing to escape. However, those landlords and tycoons with families and businesses were different. Everyone was preparing for war and sharpening their swords and guns, but they still felt that they were not enough. The iron furnace at home started working day and night, took out the swords and repaired them well. The good steel they had stored in the past was no longer stingy at this time, and they were all added to the edge of the knife. On the battlefield, the only one who was reliable was his own sword. The equipment was more refined, and he was more sure of surviving when facing the enemy.

After receiving the military report, Li Mengma continued to change horses all the way and rushed from Jinan. However, the army was full of twists and turns, money, grain and supplies, and road arrangements were complicated, especially this time, which was a rare defensive battle for emergency mobilization by Jiaozhou Camp. Unlike before, he was in charge of his own initiative and everything was in my hands. So he could be dispatched calmly, that is, Li Meng was cautious, so he was stuck in all aspects carefully, but everyone just followed the steps and just needed to work overtime. Now the military situation was like fire, and it changed rapidly, so naturally he was a little panicked at the moment, so Li Meng still had to take charge in Jining Prefecture. He was in charge of various troops, assigned logistics and transportation, and prepared some subsequent trends. He had to stay in Jining for two days.

Therefore, the troops on the battlefield are in command order according to the Jiaozhou Battalion, and the highest commander is of course Chen Liu, the general of Huai Yang, the highest rank. This is different from the Ming Dynasty's official army. A general is a general who can't command a thousand general under the command of another general on the battlefield. He cannot even directly dispatch his own direct troops. The so-called soldiers are the generals, and these soldiers are all the private property of the generals. Where can you let others get involved? Jiaozhou Battalion has a set of strict upper and lower class methods. Every time during war, soldiers and officers will automatically obey the commander with the highest rank present. If the organization of the troops is disrupted, then continue to fight with the recent officers and core. This kind of group is probably incredible in the eyes of ordinary people.

The garrison of Zhecheng, Jia Dashan, made a lot of money. He also occupied a large manor near Zhecheng County. The courtyard walls were arranged very strictly, and the food and food transport was very smooth, and it also occupied the core of the transportation line with well-connected connections. Naturally, it became the garrison of the Huai Yang Army and the Yanzhou Army who arrived in advance.

After 500,000 rebels captured Taikang County, northwest of Machangji, they camped around there for dozens of miles, facing each other with smoke from cooking and tents connected. The vortex water does not have much water in this drought season, so there is no need to worry about the danger of camping on the back and forth on the water. Instead, it just needs to supply the army's drinking water needs.

Jia Dashan and the local tyrant landlords in Henan were all fighting. Some of the money at home was also used on the armed horses. They could almost make up more than 3,000 horses. Although the discipline was loose, they were also proficient in equestrianism and local people, and they were familiar with the land. According to the conventional configuration, there were nearly 2,000 horse teams in Huai Yang Army and Yanzhou Army.

Since Chen Liu was the supreme commander, he naturally had to make complete preparations. He directly threw out nearly half of the horse team, opened a tight power search screen, determined the movements of the main force of the rebel army, and separated the absolute party to spy on his own military camp, at least before Li Meng arrived at the presidency to take charge of the overall situation, he must ensure that there was no mistake.

It is not difficult to determine where the main force of the Break Army is. A large team of hundreds of thousands of people is cautious all the way and guarding step by step. Not to mention raising grain, but to say raising horse grass and burning firewood, it is a big problem. Such troops will naturally not go fast, and naturally there is no way to hide or doubt their own military strategies. People in Henan know that the main force of the Break Army is in Taikang County.

But the observing and investigation of the absolute party is the primary task of the cavalry when the Jiaozhou camp army is fighting. This is Li Meng's understanding of military knowledge in modern times, the so-called battlefield obstruction, and preventing the enemy from reconnaissance of the number of people on his side, the terrain and all military situations.

It is necessary to know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Knowing others is certainly necessary, but you must also let others not know yourself. If you can form the so-called one-way transparency, it is naturally the best. You must know that even if there is an extra small stream that can be passed through, or a small child can climb over the earth wall, it is likely to lead to huge changes in battle. The so-called more calculations win more. If you can make the enemy unable to calculate anything, then you will naturally be easy to win.

Now, whether it is the rebel army, the official army, or even the Tartars outside the pass, the so-called horse-sleeping and cavalry are nothing more than the lonely operation of the light cavalry, or a team of two or three people, going deep into the enemy's territory and surveying the situation. Their reconnaissance also relies more on experience, estimating the number of enemies and recording the general terrain, rather than providing the commander with very accurate information.

The Jiaozhou Camp warrants that when the battlefield is blocked before the war, the cavalry must be dispatched at least fifty people and a team of people, led by the deputy general manager, and at the same time, they must bring engineer officers who know how to map and map, and make rough records and drawings of the landforms near the battlefield.

Even if it is a plain, there are only a few roads that can be moved by riding a horse. If you block the necessary roads and those small roads, everything will be fine.

Besides, local natives like Jia Dashan knew that there was any secret path in their hearts that the horse team led by the landlord armed forces were basically villains who were guarding the hospital at home and going out for bandits, and were even more proficient in this.

"All cavalrymen who go out must remember. Anyone who encounters a thief will catch up with me and slaughter me. The heads of this thief are calculated by two, and doubling the merits. Don't be afraid of running deep. We are riding horses. As long as the thief does not run back to the camp, take your head to see me."

Chen Liu gave orders carelessly in front of the officers of the horse team and the armed leaders of the landlords. What else is there, "We must be a lot of people. If you let the other party run back to the camp, then don't embarrass you on a horse."

Among the several generals under Li Meng's command, Chen Liu is the one with the strongest aura of rashness. He was like a robber here and shouted at these great tycoons in eastern Henan. However, people may be a bit naughty. The landlords' armed forces think that this adult is approachable. They are not as pretentious as other adults. The double military achievements are even more covetous. Isn't it just to earn an official position?

People like to take advantage of others, even the same is true for the life-threatening activities. When they hear it, it will be doubled, let alone those landlord armed forces with red eyes. Even the cavalry of the Huai Yang Army and the Yangzhou Army were in the mood.

In Jiaozhou Camp, you don’t have to worry about promotion, what you have to worry about is that there is no merit in exchange for promotion.

For a time, everyone was competing for the first place. Even Jia Dashandi and his younger brothers took their trusted servants out to kill the bandits and explore horses. The horseless landlords were looking for horses everywhere, just to get a kick here.

When Chen Liu gave orders, he was even more like a rich man than a rich man, but he was quite nervous. At present, more than 30,000 people with varying quality were much worse than the overwhelming 500,000 soldiers. Although he knew the Shandong soldiers' elite, the King of Rebellion Zongheng and Henan still had a few tricks, and the number was so different that no matter what, the other party could not tell where his main force was.

At least, the crusade army cannot understand the terrain here. As long as you have less understanding of the area that is about to become a battlefield, you will at least have more confidence.

The rebel army has really begun to be formalized, which is in the past year. Even if we have been to a certain place, and have been to the scenery, people, terrain and military facilities in a certain place, they only rely on local acquaintances to lead the way. However, these acquaintances cannot be equipped with one for each unit, and even if they are from the county, they may not have been to the battlefield. On the battlefield, the commander will always find some unpredictable terrain. The rebel army should have not been to Guide, and they do not understand the terrain situation here.

Then Chen Liu would use cavalry to cover the battlefield, let them be completely confused, or be confused for as long as possible.

The horses who were rebels did not expect this situation at all. Before the war, the horses who spyed on each other generally would not have any fighting. Everyone was alone to explore the situation, and they would not fight desperately after seeing it. If they could pass, they would pass. As long as they did not meet a large group of people, it would still be safe.

Who would have thought that the other party had made great contributions from the beginning. The first day and the next day the horses sent out of the camp did not come back. On the third day, there were additional personnel. As a result, when it was dark, one of them returned to the camp with arrows. The officers of the camp knew the other party's arrangements.

Since we knew, the rebel army immediately responded and immediately sent teams of cavalry to the outside world. This was no longer about inquiring about information from each other, but about the robbery of small groups of cavalry.

Within a few days, the ground cavalry sent by both sides gradually changed from small teams to large teams, and began to evolve into cavalry battles of about a thousand people, but the camp never had a clear understanding of the troops and arrangements of Guide Mansion.

On the afternoon of that day, a large-scale ambush suddenly occurred somewhere on the north bank of the Wo Water. There were almost 500 cavalrymen in the camp, and the cavalry team of nearly 500 people were ambushed by them.

However, the composition of this cavalry is quite mixed. The two hundred Jiaozhou camps and some of the cavalry of the landlords and local tyrants are also helpless. The number of cavalry in the Jiaozhou camp stationed in Guide Prefecture is far less than the large rebels and rebels on the opposite side, but the cavalry of the landlords and local tyrants has no rules at all. In order to let them fight according to the established strategy of the Jiaozhou camp, they had to use such a mixed method, but the combat effectiveness of the troops also has an impact. Therefore, the cavalry of the rebels and rebels can only be blocked, rather than intercepting them in the past.

The subordinates of these landlords and tyrants who can ride horses are considered close friends, or gangsters with outstanding force in the local area. They are usually domineering characters in the village, brave and fierce, arrogant, and self-righteous. They have always been arrogant. After seeing the cavalry in Jiaozhou Camp, they all knew how short-sighted they were. They followed them honestly and did whatever they said.

The two hundred men in Jiaozhou camp were led by two generals. Before and after joining the army, one of them was older, named Yang Zhan, was responsible for commanding the hundreds of horses. Yang Zhan was a fellow villager in Jiaozhou. He was born in a personal army, but he was taken out for a few months because he was eager to hire people. Although he didn't read much, he had not learned a lot in the personal army. After years of hard work, he was considered an old military service skilled in military affairs. However, the older the world, the less courageous he was, he had always been cautious and cautious. He was afraid that there would be changes. Who would have thought that in order to double the military achievements, he would have relaxed a little this time. They were chasing a group of cavalrymen with more than 30 people. Who would have thought that they would encounter 500 cavalrymen on the edge of the vortex water.

Judging from the opponent's appearance of being ready, Yang Zhan, the leader who led the team, knew that the more than thirty people just now might be a trick to lure the enemy, but he took the bait.

He was sighing and blaming himself. But the horse team on the Jiaozhou Camp was eager to try, especially those cavalry armed by landlords. In the eyes of these people, following such a team as Jiaozhou Camp, there was no need to be afraid of anything. The more than 500 people on the opposite side were the military achievements that came to the door.

"Let the brothers with the muskets dismount."

Yang Zhan spoke to the side of the horseman, saying that he was chasing him. The horsepower was much more expensive than the other party's waiting for it. If he turned around and left, he would sell his back to the other party. At that time, he might suffer greater casualties, and the ground could only rely on firearms. He looked back and found that some horses were venting their noses and kept digging the ground with their hooves. The landlords looked very excited. They were waiting to rush to the formation and make a name for themselves. The president sighed. They didn't know the importance of these people. They had to ask the non-commissioned officers who led the team to tighten their restraints, rest their horsepower, and not be impatient.

The cavalry armed by the landlords dispersed, while the cavalrymen with muskets in Jiaozhou camp all turned over and dismounted and hurriedly loaded ammunition. The cavalry of two hundred people only had fifty muskets, but when the matter came to an end, there was only this one to rely on and no less.

Fifty muskets could not protect the cavalry array of more than 500 people. The opponent's rebel cavalry obviously also saw this. After a slight pause, the entire cavalry suddenly scattered, and the front rows of cavalry remained motionless. Instead, they put the wooden guns flat outside the range of the muskets and prepared to rush to the position at any time.

The people behind suddenly scattered and ran around the Jiaozhou camp array. The number of people on both sides was similar, but looking at the posture of the cavalry of the rebel army, they expanded their siege.

The general Yang Zhan pressed the musket array in front, and he just whispered:

"If you don't enter the range, I will cut off whoever fires, press down, and hold down!"

Another general was to restrain the cavalry who was still on the horse in the formation. The direct line of the Jiaozhou camp was fine, but the cavalry armed by the landlords were already a little panicked. Judging from this posture, they did not have the advantage of their own. They had only fought with the wind, and such large army fought in the field. Not to mention that they had never participated or seen it, they never even dreamed that the battle formation in their minds was Guan Yunchang urged his horse to step forward. With one knife, the Cao army took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing.

Yang Zhan was already sweating slightly on his forehead. The dozens of cavalry with flat wooden spears on the opposite side were forcing dozens of musket soldiers on his side. As long as these musket soldiers were dispersed in other directions, these cavalry with flat wooden spears on the camp would probably rushed up.

But now there is no reliable defense in other directions. In the other three directions, some people have taken out bows and arrows. No matter how far the rebels are, they will shoot at the rebels nervously.

But these sparse ground-fall bows and arrows, as well as the craftsmanship of rural craftsmen, did not pose any threat to the cavalry of the riots far beyond the range. They were wasting the bows and arrows and their arm strength. They shot eight or nine arrows quickly, shooting all the arrows in their quiver pots, and their arms were a little sore and weak, but they found that their bows and arrows had not been shot, so they had to withdraw the bows and arrows in disappointment.

No matter how the officers and soldiers of Jiaozhou Camp scolded them, the armed cavalry teams of landlords could no longer be suppressed. The rebel army fought very well this time, and they circled the army's army's army's army. However, they stopped behind the military positions. Dozens of archers carrying bows and arrows approached about forty steps, all of them fixed the horses and took the bow and arrows.

The upward shooting of forty steps on the horse's back was spread wide, and no one knew who would fly to the head. As long as the soldiers on the opposite side scattered, they would not suffer much damage. However, this round of arrow rain scattered the formation that had finally stabilized, and this was an opportunity.

The dozens of cavalry with flat Duanmu Spears in front of them just took a step forward and still nailed the dozens of musket soldiers to death. Although they were dozens of squads, they could move forward and retreat freely, and they were faintly in a large army. Seeing that the opponent was strong, Yang Zhan did not dare to touch his muskets, and the two sides were in a stalemate on the front. However, the scattering of the back team gave the rest of the cavalry. The archers who shot the arrows had already drawn out their knives and axes, activated their mounts, and rushed towards the back team of Jiaozhou Camp.

The scattered formation made the opponent's rush immediately explode. The cavalry armed by the landlord no longer cared about the formation, and they were like hens that had been blown up in their nests, and they collapsed everywhere.

"The power and killing of the cavalry are not shooting with muskets, but riding on horseback, waving your sword to charge!"

At the moment when he was about to be defeated, Yang Zhan suddenly remembered what the instructor said in the day. The soldiers were indefinitely in power, and the water was indefinitely in shape. There were naturally various arrangements for different situations. But today, he was completely wrong in this battle. Although he had the experience of dismounting the horse and defeating the enemy in this way, those dismounting were all their own people from Jiaozhou Camp, and their own people were trusted. Where did these powerful men get the discipline and practice? This is probably just listening to books in their spare time, and they said that carving boats and asking for swords. At that time, he laughed at the storyteller for being too exaggerated. There is no such stupid person in the world. I didn't expect that he would make an example today.

Although the landlords behind were disintegrated, the cavalry of Jiaozhou Camp still formed a tight formation. The opponent's lancers were all concentrated in the front, and they were fighting with swords and swords at the back. However, the soldiers were unable to break the resistance of the more than a hundred people for a while. The soldiers waved their weapons and resisted to death. Although their comrades kept humming and fell to their side, the long-term training still made them forget life and death and fear. As long as they still had the strength, we had not lost.

"Don't worry about me, lead the people out, I can't stand it..."

The general Yang Zhan turned around and shouted, Jiaozhou Camp held the responsibility for defeat based on actual conditions, and would not be investigated indiscriminately, but the defeated generals were always blind. Especially in a group like Jiaozhou Camp that values ​​honor, failure is the most shameful, and it would be better to die in battle and be more glorious.

The man who was fighting behind heard this sentence, turned his head and looked at it, nodded vigorously, and began to issue orders loudly, preparing to gather people to break through.

The soldiers who led the team led the general Yang Zhan to lead the horses to lead the horses a few steps forward. One of the ten infantry dismounted the horses and stood on standby, which was called the "horse stake".

"Don't look back. After the shooting, throw away the musket and get on the horse. We still have a chance to rush out. If we do something randomly, we will all explain it here today!"

Yang Zhan is only thirty years old, but in the Jiaozhouying group, he is being tested and tempered by various service every day, and he is also studying and thinking every day. Compared with those officers and generals of the same age, he is still much more mature in his mind. During this difficult time, he put down his shame of defeat and forced himself to calm down, because he knew that the life and death of these robes around him were tied to him. He gave orders here in a deep voice, his voice was low and he brought confidence to the robes around him, but only he knew that the reins in his hand were completely wet with sweat, and his fingernails had been deeply grasped into his flesh.

The rioters behind him rushed in and killed the landlords, but they did not attack and had outstanding combat skills. They cooperated with the Jiaozhou camp team. This army battle formation was focused on orders and bans and unity. This group of cavalrymen in the rioters were indeed elite soldiers. The commander Chen Erhu was very skilled. Seeing that he could not rush in, he was not in a hurry to rush forward. With a whistle, he dispersed again.

If the landlords just now had no strength or restraint, they might chase them out as soon as they disperse, and the trespassing army turned around and rushed over, and they might break away. However, Jiaozhou Camp was completely restrained and did not move lightly, and the leader of the team was still sorting out the formation and preparing for the next breakthrough.

"Suppress!! Stay stable!!"

The pikes of the rebel army were very leisurely, but Yang Zhan, the general of Jiaozhou camp surrounded in the center, became more and more nervous. Seeing the musket soldiers below holding the muskets a little unstable, they immediately shouted loudly.

But after shouting, he found that the mount that was extremely quiet just now was a little restless. The war horse under his crotch was carefully trained by the experienced horse master. He had many experiences on the battlefield. Even when charging, he was very stable. He rarely had such a state. Yang Zhan felt a little cold in his heart, his nose was sore, and he couldn't control it. He thought that it was the horse that was spiritual and knew that our master and servant would die here. Yang Zhan reached out and took out a handful of black beans from the bag next to the saddle, leaned forward, and handed it to the horse's mouth, and said silently in his heart: "This is probably the last time I have fed you."

On the battlefield, Yang Zhan did such casual behaviors. Everything he saw was shocked and didn't know why.
