Chapter 98 The first confrontation between Zhou Yafu and Wu Sangui

"kill!"

Wu Sangui led 500 light cavalry to pursue and kill 2,000 soldiers in Linyin Town on the plains.

Xueyue Town faced too much pressure and had to dispatch soldiers stationed in Linyin Town to come for reinforcements. As a result, they were ambushed by Wu Sangui's cavalry and the two thousand soldiers in Linyin Town were defeated.

The opponent's commander is Wu Sangui, and he has 500 cavalry. As long as the ambush succeeds, not many people can stop him.

Wu Sangui waved the Yanling waist knife, and the cold blade slashed down, leaving a trail of blood.

Hundreds of Linyin Town soldiers were killed by the cavalry's sabers or spears, and their bodies were scattered all over the field!

"These soldiers are vulnerable. If I had a Guan Ning cavalry, 20,000 such soldiers would not be able to stop my charge."

Wu Sangui caught up with a Linyin Town soldier and used the speed of his horse to cut him down effortlessly.

"General, an unknown force appeared in front of us, and several brothers were shot dead!"

When Wu Sangui's troops were chasing the defeated troops in Linyin Town, several light cavalry were killed by crossbow arrows and fell from their horses.

"Hush!"

Wu Sangui reined in his horse.

An infantry group appeared on the horizon, carrying a completely different flag from Xueyue Town and Linyin Town.

"Do they have a second support army?"

Wu Sangui was a little surprised. He speculated that the other party deployed a support army outside the town and successfully destroyed the two thousand reinforcements. However, he never imagined that a second support army would come to support Xueyue Town.

The Second Support Corps has strict military discipline, with spear and shield bearers marching in neat steps, and archers and crossbowmen at the rear.

Just now, three light cavalrymen bumped into the supporting army and were mercilessly shot by crossbowmen.

"The opponent's general should also be a veteran."

Wu Sangui and Zhou Yafu fought for the first time between the two armies. One commanded the light cavalry and the other commanded the light infantry.

"Gather immediately!"

Probably sensing that Zhou Yafu was coming with bad intentions, Wu Sangui gathered the light cavalry who were chasing the Linyin Town soldiers and carefully dealt with Zhou Yafu.

Zhou Yafu and Liu Sandao were equally careful when facing Wu Sangui, who had more than 400 cavalry, and formed a tight square formation to prevent Wu Sangui's cavalry from destroying the formation, and then took them away with a sudden attack.

The light cavalry had too much advantage in this plain terrain. Zhou Yafu, who had no cavalry in his hands, frowned.

Being targeted by a group of light cavalry on the plains is not a comfortable thing.

"This light cavalry should be our enemy. Liu Sandao, don't go into battle easily."

Zhou Yafu was a defensive commander, so he ordered Liu Sandao, the deputy general, not to act rashly until he knew the capabilities of the enemy generals.

At the same time, Zhou Yafu summoned the defeated troops in Linyin Town and asked them to rally behind.

Zhou Yafu annexed the soldiers and local braves from the villages and towns along the way, and now there are 2,700 people. Together with the defeated troops in Linyin Town, the number is about 4,000, forming a military advantage over Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui had the mobility and Zhou Yafu had the numerical advantage. Both sides were on guard against the other and no one took the initiative to attack.

Zhou Yafu knew that although his troops were large, they were a mob. Except for the elite soldiers who numbered less than a thousand in Xia Town, the remaining soldiers either came from other towns or were brave warriors from the countryside. If he took the initiative to attack, a formation of four thousand people would

If chaos occurs, Wu Sangui's light cavalry will cut into the formation with sabers wielding and win a complete victory.

Wu Sangui did not dare to take the initiative to attack. There were third-level Xuzhou archers in Zhou Yafu's army, and some second-level infantrymen were using infantry crossbows. Once they got close, the crossbows and arrows would all fire, and the light cavalry would surely suffer heavy casualties.

The two sides are dealing with each other, like two patient hunters.

The mayor of Linyin Town was sweating profusely and came to find Zhou Yafu: "Brother, thank you so much. You are the general of Xia Town, right? If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have died here today. Damn it.

, the people from the Fighting Soul Guild were too ruthless. They specially ambushed a cavalry and waited for me to rescue them. As a result, I was chased by this cavalry for five miles! His uncle, don’t let Qi Xiaobai from the Fighting Soul Guild.

In my hands!"

Zhou Yafu couldn't help but feel a headache after listening to what this alien lord had to say: "Is Xueyue Town still holding on?"

"Still guarding, Xue Yue can support such a large guild. The town she built herself will not fall so easily."

"Let's go to Xueyue Town."

Zhou Yafu observed the surrounding environment and must enter the nearby Xueyue Town in order to get rid of the troublesome light cavalry and obtain supplies.

Zhou Yafu didn't have many arrows left. Once the arrows were exhausted, it would be even more dangerous.

Four thousand infantry archers began to break camp and marched towards Xueyue Town at an extremely slow speed under the supervision of light cavalry.

Wu Sangui was still patiently waiting for the opportunity to attack. He kept sending small groups of cavalry to make detours left and right, trying to disrupt Zhou Yafu's formation.

"Supervise the team and obey the orders. Anyone who panics will be killed without mercy!"

Zhou Yafu sent a small-scale supervising team to stabilize the formation and not give Wu Sangui a chance to attack.

The two troops faced each other, and Zhou Yafu approached Xueyue Town unhurriedly.

Xueyue Town is less than 5 kilometers away. Because Wu Sangui's cavalry was watching eagerly, Zhou Yafu and the others walked for a long time and finally saw the walls of Xueyue Town and the camp of the Fighting Soul Guild.

Now both camps fell into chaos.

Xue Yue was the first to react: "Our reinforcements have arrived, open the door and receive the reinforcements!"

Under the leadership of Xue Yue, Xue Yue Town sent two thousand defenders to fight out of the town.

"Intercept and kill them!"

Almost at the same time, Qi Xiaobai led the War Soul Alliance Army out of camp to intercept and prevent Zhou Yafu from joining up with the Wolf Walk Alliance Army!

"At this point, it's time to launch an attack!"

Wu Sangui has been waiting for the opportunity. On the outskirts of Xueyue Town, the light cavalry pulled out their swords and finally revealed their sharp fangs!

The four armies fought in a melee, and the original offensive and defensive battle turned into a four-party battle, and it was even difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy!

Wu Sangui's cavalry broke into the soldiers of Linyin Town, Zhou Yafu's spear and shield phalanx broke through the War Soul coalition, the Wolf Walk coalition tried to join Zhou Yafu, and the archers struggled to identify the enemy's location...

It was close to sunset when Zhou Yafu's troops arrived at Xueyue Town. At this time, the days were short and the nights were long. The battlefield quickly turned dark, and the two sides without torches were completely unable to distinguish each other clearly.

So after a fierce battle, the two sides seemed to have reached a tacit agreement and each withdrew their troops.

Zhou Yafu led the reinforcements into Xueyue Town.

In his first confrontation with Wu Sangui, Zhou Yafu neither won nor suffered a loss. Wu Sangui lost many cavalrymen, and the cost of training each cavalryman was much higher than that of infantry and rural warriors.

Zhou Yafu achieved his strategic goal and successfully merged with the Langxing coalition forces. The number of defenders in the town reached more than 7,000.

"General Zhou, we meet again."

Xue Yue had met Zhou Yafu on the battlefield in Guangzong County and knew that he was currently the most skilled general under Chu Tian.

Chutian sent reinforcements under the command of Zhou Yafu to arrive, which is enough to show that Chutian attaches great importance to the northern part of Kaiyang County.

Zhou Yafu calmly replied: "I came here for reinforcements under the order of my lord. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my order."

After receiving this batch of reinforcements, Xue Yue had the idea of ​​counterattack: "Maybe we can counterattack. The number of our defenders is no less than that of the siege troops outside!"

Zhou Yafu shook his head: "Please wait, there is a second batch of reinforcements on the way."
