Chapter 512 Victory in the First Battle
In a normal battle, when the two sides meet each other, the metropolis will first scout and test.Until both sides can't find the other's loopholes, there is no trick to do, and when one side is fully confident, there will be a decisive battle.

Naturally, the weaker side can only be forced to fight.

But today's battle is extremely strange: no matter how you look at it, Li Chengzhi is weak, but he is the one who took the initiative to launch the offensive.And is it at the most unlikely time and place for a decisive battle?
It's a bit surprising...

But since Li Chengzhi wants to fight, Fu Luo absolutely has no reason why he shouldn't.

Just because cavalry is not like infantry, there are so many defensive tricks.If they are afraid of war, the infantry can linger for a day or two digging a trench.

If they lose their mobility, the cavalry can only be beaten passively.So Volo either fought or retreated in a roundabout way.

But as soon as he retreated, the results of the two days' victories disappeared like foam blown by the wind.

How could Volo be willing?
So don't say that he has the determination to win with every chance at this time, even if he is still afraid of Li Chengzhi like a tiger like a few days ago, today's battle will definitely be defeated...

The commander of the northern wing is Murong Gao, who is barely a descendant of the Tuyuhun clan.When Murong Fu Lianchou first ascended the Khan position, he was the head of the eldest son team and was responsible for guarding the palace night, and he was deeply trusted by Fu Lianchou.

In the next 20 years, he was repeatedly promoted. When Fu Lianchou was the governor of Hexi from his younger brother Fu Luo (similar to the military governor of several states in the Yuan and Wei Dynasties), he was the governor of Songpan.

At this time, the Yiwei he led was the old department when he guarded Songpan.Although it can't be called a soldier of hundreds of battles, Songpan happened to be at the junction of the four countries of Yuan Wei, Nanliang, Tuyuhun, and Dangxiang.

And when the troops were dispatched this time, Fu Lianchou bestowed the whole army with armor, so the morale was so high.In addition, the Wei army avoided the battle for two consecutive days, and retreated for dozens of miles, which pushed the fighting spirit of tens of thousands of riders to the peak.

Therefore, seeing the tiger cavalry rushing in formation, Wei Shuai Murong Gao and his subordinate Yi Wei not only showed no fear, but were extremely excited.

So what if it was a tiger rider?
You only have three thousand, but I have tens of thousands...

Before leaving the camp, Fu Luo gave advice: it is a counterattack, but there are only more than [-] cavalry, Li Chengzhi should not dare to fight the first battle, so the whole army will press down, and nine out of ten will divide the troops.

At that time, Murong Gao only needs to stare at the tiger cavalry.When the tiger moves, he moves.As for the remaining Wei cavalry, they will naturally be defended by Fu Luo's armored guards...

Unexpectedly, Wei Jun really divided his troops?

Murong Gao suppressed the excitement in his heart, stood on the high hill and listened to the formation scouts reporting the formation of Wei army.

Now there are at least ten thousand Wei troops in the north wing, but at this time they are divided into three groups.

Three thousand tiger riders lined up in a cone formation, like a huge yellow arrow ready to be fired.But then it was replaced by a car formation, and it is estimated that there will be two or three hundred.After that, it became thousands of Jiaqi.

Murong Gao really didn't understand: Since it is a counterattack, it is right to put all the cavalry in one place, why should there be a row of chariots in the middle?
To put it more vividly, these chariots seem to have built a wall in the cavalry formation. Not only can they not expand and consolidate the momentum of the tiger cavalry, but they have become a stumbling block for the rear cavalry, making it impossible for the front and rear of the Wei cavalry to look at each other.

Furthermore, the armored guards of the Fu Luozhong Army were not there to watch the show, and even if they were not hindered by the chariot formation, the five or six thousand Han cavalry behind might not be able to rush up...

After nearly 20 years of fighting, Murong Gao has never seen such a strange formation.

Not to mention Murong Gao, even the army leaders, brigade commanders, and building commanders under his command all saw the problem.

The fighting spirit was already high, but at this time, his confidence increased greatly.From the commander-in-chief down to the soldiers, they all decided that this battle must be won...

Hearing a sudden explosion, Murong Gao's eyelids twitched: what is it, it seems like thunder has struck.

But the sun is so bright, there is not even a cloud in the sky, so where does the thunder come from?
Surprised, Wei Jun suddenly moved.

About three miles away, the third battalion of tiger cavalry rushed towards Hu Zhen like a torrent, carrying a mighty force.

The tactics were explained when they left the camp, there was no need for Murong Gao to say more.As soon as the tiger rode moved, dozens of horns sounded in unison.The grand and simple sound covered up the hooves of thousands of cavalrymen.

In a split second, five thousand Hu cavalry moved out together to meet Wei Qi.

The movements of the two armies when they came out of the formation were as usual: they were all conical formations, facing the enemy like arrows.

The equipment of the two sides is also similar: a crossbow is held in the hand, and the lance is hung on a hook within reach. After a round of arrows is fired, the two armies have almost joined the battle and will use the gun at that time.

If a cavalryman is accidentally knocked off his horse, he will naturally replace it with a saber at his waist...

They are only three miles away from each other. For horses, at most half a word can be reached, which can just reach full speed.

The moment the two armies fought, Murong Gao's pupils shrank suddenly.

It was far away just now, and it was not very real.Only then did he realize that Wei Jun's tiger cavalry was not carrying a bow, but a crossbow?
Immediately is not conducive to bowing, so most riding bows are relatively light, at most six buckets.But if it is replaced, it can be wound in advance.It is not necessary to mount the horse and draw the bow, but it can be replaced with three or four stones.

And as long as it is a crossbow with more than two stones, it is possible to penetrate the iron armor.

Miscalculated.

But the matter has come to this point, can it be said that money will be withdrawn?

Fortunately, it can only shoot one round...

Murong Gao had a gloomy face, staring closely at the cavalry that was getting closer.

It was as if two swords were stabbing straight at each other, and when the tip of the sword collided with the tip of the sword, they suddenly staggered their edges, and both sides turned a corner, and both stabbed the tip of the sword towards the body of the opponent's sword.

It's not that the two sides have a tacit understanding, but that the tactics of the cavalry are like this. They all hope to use their sharpest "tips" to stab the opponent's weakest waist.

Just like small groups of cavalry, most of them will use the detour tactics around the "8" to maximize their mobility advantages.

And in this wrong body, the gap between the two sides appeared.

The enemy and we all opened our bows, and the arrows shot at the enemy like a rain of locusts.When Hu Qi's arrows hit Hu Qi's body, most of them are holes, and a few of them will shoot into the leather armor, but they can't be pierced.

And Hu Qi's crossbow arrows will pierce Hu Qi's horse in seven or eight out of ten.And when many cavalry were shot, even if they didn't shoot through the iron armor, they were able to throw the cavalry off the horse.

The scene at this time was extremely spectacular, as if when two swords intersected, the tip of one of the swords suddenly broke and collapsed into countless pieces.

A group of people turned their backs, and the two groups finally collided fiercely.

Murong Gao took a rough look and got the general idea: just this round, those who have already been shot by the arrow and those who fell off the horse have enough to go up.And there are only a handful of tiger riders who fell from their horses.

Compared with the national strength, Tuyuhun is weaker after all.As soon as they confronted each other, he suffered a loss first.

And it is very likely that there will be a lot of losses: after all, the subordinates only wear half armor, while tiger riders, men and horses are all in thin armor, even if it is not inferior to iron armor.

Fortunately, there are only three thousand.

And now that the tiger riders have lost their momentum, the next step is to fight, and their own strength is three times that, which is enough to restore the disadvantage.

Murong Gao waved his hand, and heard a few more trumpet sounds, nearly two thousand armored cavalry jumped out of the Hu cavalry, and rushed towards the waist of the tiger cavalry formation.

If this is caught straight, the tiger rider will be cut off in the middle, and will be attacked by the enemy.

With seven thousand against three thousand, even a tiger riding a armored horse and a strong horse can wear it to death abruptly.

No matter how bad it is, why don't I bet all the remaining three thousand?

Thinking about it, the general beside him shouted in a low voice: "My lord, look!"

Murong Gao looked up and saw that the rear of Wei Jun's cavalry formation also moved, and they came out in full force.

What do you mean, the days are over?
The Wei army was full of battles and calculations, and there were only more than [-] cavalry.Why do you dare to rush forward like a boat?

While in doubt, Wei Jun changed again: the two hundred or so chariots did not support the tiger cavalry, but came straight to his commander-in-chief.

And the remaining five or six battalions were divided into two parts, about four battalions came to help the tiger cavalry, but the remaining two battalions drew a slanted arc, as if they wanted to bypass the two armies that were fighting fiercely and rush back.

A light flashed in Murong Gao's mind, and he turned his head abruptly.

Sure enough, seeing the rear cavalry of the Wei army dispatched, Master Fu Luo's armored guards also came out.

The two battalions of the Wei army who bypassed the center line actually charged towards Lord Luo.Do you know that there are [-] elite riders under your lord's banner?
And the goal of these two hundred cars is himself?

Murong Gao thought it was ridiculous, he thought Li Chengzhi must have lost his mind, otherwise why would he do such a death-like act?

Having led the army for nearly twenty years and having experienced hundreds of battles, this is the first time I have seen such a clumsy method of warfare.

He felt that he didn't need to work hard, Mr. Murong Gao, he would definitely make these ten thousand Wei Qi suffer a crushing defeat.

Finally suppressing the impulse, Murong Gao sent out another battalion to meet the chariot soldiers of the Wei army.

As soon as the battle was fought, it became intense, and half a moment had passed since the cannons fired in the Wei army camp and the tiger riders were dispatched.The two battalions that Murong Gao sent out were half a mile away from the Tiger Cavalry, and about [-] cavalry from the rear of the Wei Cavalry were about to join the battle group.

If there is no major shock, the battle with tens of thousands of troops will be indistinguishable for a while.Even if both sides are cavalry, even if the strength of one's own side is several times that of the other side, according to Murong Gao's estimate, this battle must at least be considered in terms of "time".

Therefore, after the order was delivered, he staggered his gaze and turned his gaze to Wei Qi, who was rushing to the rear of the formation from the two battalions.And Fu Luo's armored guards dispatched at least half of them, rushing like Mount Tai.

Seeing that the two sides were getting closer, Murong Gao was reluctant to blink for fear of missing a trace.

He really wanted to know, what was Wei Shuai's intention in using troops like this?
And so brave, knowing that the enemy's army is several times that of his own, and still marching forward.

But a sudden exclamation forced him to turn his head.

As if the sky suddenly rained fire, Murong Gao's pupils suddenly shrank.

What... a rocket?
Countless smoking arrows shot out from Wei Qi's back, rushed into the air, and then fell obliquely.

But when it fell halfway, it was like seeing a ghost, a flash of fire suddenly appeared from the tail of the arrow, and there was only a sound of "swish", and the arrow shot forward like lightning.

The strength is not weaker than the strong arrow when the crossbow was just fired.

And the two phases relayed each other, and Wei Jun used a crossbow to throw the arrows. The arrows shot nearly a hundred feet, and none of them missed. Hu riding in the camp.

That's all, when the key fire came out, many nearby horses were startled, some turned their heads, and some stopped their gallop in fright.The original forward formation suddenly became chaotic.

And the momentum of Wei Qi's rear remained unabated, just like the previous Tiger Cavalry, who made a slanted slash in order to throw all the rockets into the enemy's formation.

What the hell is this?

It's not that Murong Gao has never seen rockets before, when he was guarding Longku Pass in Songpan, he would often see the Southern Army or Wei Army using it.

But the oil was expensive, and there was not enough lighting, so it was as powerful as the Yuan and Wei Dynasties. Rockets were not commonly used, and most of them were used to set fire to the enemy.

And no matter how strong the bow is, the arrow can only shoot as far as possible.There is absolutely no such thing as before. They are exhausted, and suddenly a ball of fire will burst out, and they can shoot dozens of steps quickly.

What's even more weird is why the Wei Jun's horse that set off the fire and shot the arrows didn't startle, and when they saw the fire, they didn't even dodge it?
Since the back of Wei Qi who supported the tiger cavalry used this thing, what about the two thousand cavalry who were facing the adults?

And what about the two hundred armored vehicles?

Surprised and uncertain in his heart, Murong Gao's eyes were like lightning, and he swept to both sides very quickly.

First, the two hundred chariot soldiers, who were hundreds of feet away, had already set up their crossbows.After Hu Qi rushed forward about a hundred steps, he heard the sound of "bang tied" fired by a crossbow.More than two hundred arrows shot at Hu Qi like shooting stars.

And the shooting was extremely fast: every time the crossbowman finished shooting one, the auxiliary soldiers in the carriage had already loaded another one. With the cooperation of several people, it was faster than the riding bow in the Hu rider's hand.

Before a thousand horsemen rushed to the armored chariot, more than a hundred horsemen were shot down.The rest were immediately scattered in half.

But for some reason, the armored chariot didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue it, nor did it return to aid the cavalry, but stopped at about half a mile away from Murong Liangshuai's flag, as if he wanted to see him dead.

For a split second, he had the thought of "If the armored car rushes over, will he run away or not?"

Murong Gao was terribly frightened, and Fu Luo was not much better.

Seeing Li Chengzhi's cavalry come out, he bared his teeth happily, but then he couldn't laugh anymore.

When the two battalions of Wei Qi were still a mile away from him, suddenly there was a burst of thunder and crackling in front of the formation of the two armies, and sparks shot out like fire meteors.

Not thunder, but a simple barrel.

It wasn't the first time Li Chengzhi used it. He used it once when Wo Ye played against Dou Ling, and the effect was amazing.

Of course, it doesn't just rely on this thing, otherwise it would be too underestimating the enemy.

The second kicker was the former Baijia of the third brigade. Besides, Li Zhang also brought a brigade of artillery cavalry behind him, and brought a full [-] mines.If necessary, the scene of Yu Daqi's defeat of Du Lun's tribe will be staged...

This is where Li Chengzhi dared to let the two battalions of armored cavalry meet Fu Luo's tens of thousands of fine cavalry.

When the explosion sounded, Fu Luo thought it was the legendary sky thunder, and immediately ordered the Chinese army to sound their horns, and recalled the fifth battalion of armored cavalry to the main formation.

Wei Qi was also very measured. Seeing his turn, he immediately turned a corner and ran to a distance of one mile from Fuluo's army and stopped his horse.

Fu Luo was not reconciled, and sent another battalion to test, but it was only one round, and nearly half of the thousand horsemen were routed.

He is like a dream.

I thought that Wei Jun might use that "thunder", but in the end Lei didn't see it, but it was full of such weird things?

The lethality is average, but it is extremely intimidating to war horses. By now, Murong Gao's [-] troops have shocked at least two battalions.No matter how hard the knight tried, he couldn't restrain the galloping horse.

If this continues, the remaining few battalions will be defeated sooner or later.

How can we fight this time?
