I’m The King: No. 577: An easy victory

Hong An led more than 1,000 cavalry gathered from various reclamation points to the rescue of Tengger. Twenty days after the Tengger garrison sent out information about the discovery of sentry cavalry from the Eastern Army, he came from Helin Wusumi The order sent from the extra-large tent was also vague, and he was just asked to act according to his own circumstances, so he didn't take this matter to heart. Only then set off towards Tengger.

It wasn't until tens of miles away from Tengger that they saw two wounded soldiers staggering forward with difficulty. They were surprised and felt that something was wrong.

The information obtained from the mouths of the two wounded soldiers made Hong An startled and angry, and more than a thousand cavalry immediately accelerated and rushed towards the Tengger settlement point.

This place has turned into a piece of white land, whether it is the large tents of the garrison, the huts where the prisoners of war live, or the tens of thousands of acres of crops that can be counted on to be harvested in autumn, they have all been completely burned by the fire. , nearly half a year of hard work and painstaking efforts, all in vain.

Hong An was furious.

If the enemy is powerful, he can't say, he can only retreat, but the enemy who is attacking is only a mere thousand riders, how can he let the enemy leave so easily.

The opponent only has more than a thousand cavalry. A battle with Tengger's garrison must have been damaged. In An's eyes, he was not a soldier at all.

Catch up with them, kill them, throw their bodies by the Liao River, and show those blind people on the other side that the Donghu people are not easy to mess with. The 100,000 troops of the Yan Kingdom were defeated by Donghu. From Taiwei to Xiaobing, those who fled escaped and those who surrendered surrendered. How could they be bullied by the Zhengdong Army with only a few thousand people now.

Even if it is the Eastern Army. He was also beaten out from the land of Donghu like a bereaved dog.

In the Battle of Conquering the East, Usumit did not participate in the battle ahead, but devoted himself to cooperating with Miranda and Thorpe, cleaning out the opposition forces in the Donghu tribe and consolidating the defense of Helin. The whole army was defeated and lost by the Eastern Conqueror Army, so the higher-ups naturally knew about it, but the generals at Hong An's level were not widely known, and they were kept under wraps.

From the perspective of Donghu executives, this battle between Yan State and Donghu. Donghu's flawless victory should be used to boost the morale of the entire Donghu people, and at the same time create a strong atmosphere of public opinion for the restructuring. Naturally, these defeats must be concealed.

This lack of smooth information caused Hong An to believe that the Yan army was weak and vulnerable, and the failure of Tengger's garrison was nothing more than a sudden attack by the opponent. As long as he catches up with him, he can win with one blow.

After a day of pursuit, Hong An was finally about fifty miles away from the Liaohe River. He couldn't help being overjoyed when he found the opponent's sentry cavalry. What he was most worried about was that the enemy fled too fast and had already crossed the Liao River. Then he looked at the river and sighed, thinking about it, the other party brought two thousand Yan army prisoners of war, and he couldn't get up soon even if he wanted to.

Although Hong An looked down on the enemy. But it must be a veteran general in the army. While sending sentry cavalry to find out the enemy's situation, he ordered all the cavalry to dismount and walk. Supplementing food while walking, and at the same time allowing the horses to get enough rest. Cavalry combat has the most horsepower. As long as the horses maintain sufficient physical strength, Hong An will have strong confidence to defeat the enemy.

He never thought about losing.

After half an hour, the sentinels in front flew back, but there were only a few people missing. It seemed that they were left behind by the enemy, but the information they brought was also exciting, just over ten miles ahead. , They found a large number of Yan troops, most of whom were carrying freshly felled trees, and they seemed to want to form a raft to cross the river.

"Get on the horse, attack!" Hong An jumped on the horse excitedly.

Catch up with your opponents and crush them.

With the sound of hoofbeats, more than a thousand Donghu cavalry galloped wildly, their bodies were swept by dust and turned into gray dragons.

At the moment of a stick of incense, Hong An saw that in front of him, about hundreds of cavalry were riding slowly. Seeing the appearance of his Donghu cavalry, those cavalry obviously showed some confusion. escape. He didn't even stay for a moment, and ran away from the gap between the two hills.

Seeing the opponent's chaotic formation and panicked expression, Hong An couldn't help feeling that Tengger's garrison was worthless. Such an undisciplined army actually defeated their Usumid's powerful cavalry, even if they These people are not the elite of Usumit, but they are still the first-class masters in front of these enemies.

"Pursuit!" Hong An swung his knife and shouted wildly.

Taking the lead, passing between two hills, Hong An's eyes suddenly widened. He reined in his horse abruptly, his horse neighed wildly and stood up, and the Donghu cavalry behind him moved aside, drew a half-arc on both sides of him, galloped back, and re-formed the army formation.

Finally caught up with the enemy, but Hong An's heart sank, because what he saw was not a mess of enemy cavalry, but two infantry phalanxes with clear banners, neatly arranged, and waiting . One left and one right stared at him, but the enemy cavalry who were vulnerable to a single attack in his eyes were rushing to the side at this moment, looking straight at their running direction, they knew they were going to block him the back road.

This is a trap. He finally got over it. The opponent didn't run away in a hurry, just waiting for their support army to appear.

Retreat? Or attack? After Hong An hesitated for a while, the front of the Zhengdong cavalry running on both sides had already galloped up the hills, and their equestrian skills were no less than their Donghu cavalry.

Hong An couldn't help sinking.

Retreating at this time will inevitably be crushed by the opponent from top to bottom, but if you don't retreat, let them block the way back, and you won't even be able to escape.

"Retreat!" he roared loudly.

More than a thousand cavalry came quickly and left in a hurry. They turned around and left without saying a word.

Seeing the Donghu cavalry pull their horses back, the two infantry phalanx behind them shouted, and the whole formation slowly pressed forward. Hong An glanced back, feeling even more panicked. In the phalanx, there is actually a bed crossbow on the cart.

Sure enough, at the moment when he turned his head, the opponent's formation had already given the order to fire. The sound of screaming, I don't know how many people fell off their horses.

"Let's go, let's go!" Hong An galloped on his horse.

Gongsun Yi and Luo Lei, who had already galloped up the hills on both sides, looked at each other and gestured to each other. Amidst the shouts of five hundred cavalry on both sides, they rushed towards the retreating Hong An Department ran.

Before the battle, the two had an agreement to see who could kill more Donghu people.

The bed crossbows in the infantry phalanx were fired until the moment the two sides were stuck together. Hundreds of Donghu cavalry fell off their horses, some died on the spot, and some were seriously injured and fell off their horses.

The number of cavalry on both sides is equal, but one side has been recharging its energy and has been waiting for the enemy to come over, while the other side is in despair. There was little difference, but the battle was still one-sided.

Hong An can't care about anything else, if these Zhengdong cavalry are entangled and the infantry phalanx of the other side surrounds him, then he will be unable to escape.

Bringing dozens of the most elite cavalry around him, Hong An desperately charged, and finally made a **** path, and rushed towards Tengger without looking back. .

The Eastern Zheng cavalry entangled the remaining hundreds of cavalry. The two infantry phalanxes outside had quickly caught up and surrounded them layer by layer on the outside. Donghu cavalry, Xu Yuan showed a sinister smile, and turned to his side: "Blow the horn, the cavalry withdraw from the battle!"

The horn sounded, and Gongsun Yi and Luo Lei, who were happily committing suicide, turned their heads in astonishment, looking at Xu Yuan and the trumpeter flying under the flag of the East Conquest Army, both of them felt unwilling, While the two were slashing and killing the enemy, they were still concerned about the number of enemies killed by the opponent. Up until now, the two were on par. Such a result is naturally unsatisfactory.

But the order to withdraw from the battle cannot be disobeyed. Needless to say, Gongsun Yi has made an appointment to join the East Conquest Army. Even Luo Lei, who has only been in the East Conquest Army for half a year, knows that the most Emphasize the prohibition of orders, but if there is any disobedience, military law will be followed immediately. If it is light, it will be boarded.

"The winner will be decided next time!" Lou Lei said loudly ~IndoMTL.com~ will definitely accompany you! "Gongsun Yi laughed.

The two whistled, and the Zhengdong cavalry got rid of the opponent's pursuit one by one, covering each other and retreating to the infantry formation. This kind of retreat seems easy, but in fact it is extremely difficult. The two sides are sticking together. Unless one side has an absolute advantage, it is difficult to just leave.

The eastward cavalry left, and outside the encirclement of the infantry, another seemingly loose circle was formed.

Xu Yuan stretched out his hand to summon Chen Bin, who had been staying by his side, and said with a smile, "General Chen, a group of bereaved dogs, let your subordinates show off their splendor!"

This was a hearty battle, and Chen Bin watched with excitement. When he was under the command of General Kumamoto, he fought extremely hard in every battle. , the hundreds of Donghu cavalry who were surrounded were exhausted one by one, even the horses under their crotches were also weak, and it was time to beat the dog in the water. He knew Xu Yuan's intentions, and this group of soldiers under his command should also use it Fight, a battle that can be won, to arouse their original high morale.

"This subordinate takes orders." He said vigorously and authentically. (to be continued...)
