please make me king

Chapter 477
After some of Cao Bianjiao's soldiers crossed the river, they had already dispatched scouts to stay on high ground for vigilance.When Zhang Shun led the cavalry to arrive, he also discovered the movement of the rebel army.

The officers, soldiers and scouts hurriedly waved the flag desperately, and at the same time dispatched cavalry to rush to the river to report.

Fortunately, the guards by the river were not careless, and they saw the warning from the high-level scouts in time.He hurriedly reported to Cao Bianjiao.

This time, the imperial court dispatched Mu Ziqiang, Cao Wenzhao, and Zhang Quanchang, three commanders-in-chief. These three men were all good at fighting.

Cao Wenzhao only had about [-] men under his command, and Mu Ziqiang and Zhang Quanchang each had more than [-] men. The total number of troops was about [-], which did not exceed the expectations of the rebels.

After Zhang Shun took over the cavalry under the command of the second leader "Zijin Liang", his strength has surpassed that of a town's chief army officer who often leads troops.

If multi-town soldiers and horses are used for cooperative operations, they often do not trust each other and cannot form a joint force.

Therefore, Zhang Shun was indeed a very difficult person to deal with for the imperial court, which often used the general army as an independent military force.

Fortunately, Zhang Fengyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, is not a man who has earned his name in vain.When he learned about Zhang Shun's information, he recommended these three general soldiers to Chongzhen.

These three people are all brave and good fighters, especially if Cao Wenzhao has all the troops and horses, his strength is no less than that of Zhang Shun.

Zhang Fengyi took advantage of the opportunity of these three people being convicted because of their ineffective defense against the Jin soldiers, and let them perform their crimes and meritorious deeds, trying to avoid the three people's faults of shirking each other, and wanted to combine the power of these three people to completely capture Luoyang and wipe out Zhang Shun.

Although Zhang Fengyi had a good idea, the three of them also had the ambition to work together.Just after leaving Shanxi, Cao Wenzhao proposed to gather the elite cavalry of the three men and let his nephew Cao Bianjiao rush to capture Mengjin Ferry, but a dispute arose.

It turns out that the ratio of infantry and cavalry among the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty is generally seven to three, and the three men have about [-] cavalry under their command, all of whom are elites and servants of their own.

Now that Cao Wenzhao wants to bring these people under his command, how can the other two tolerate it?
You are a commander-in-chief, and I am also a commander-in-chief.Although the imperial court ordered you to be the governor of our three troops, but it didn't say that we should hand over the elite servants to you?

Everyone's servants and elites are paid twice, but they are paid three times.Everyone has been raising scholars for several years, not for the sake of looking good.It is hoped that they can wear double armor, charge into battle, and win immediate wealth for themselves and others.

Don't say you Cao Wenzhao now, even the governor and governor can't act like this!
Although Cao Wenzhao issued the correct order, he couldn't carry it out, so he had to negotiate with Zhang Quanchang and said: "We have all heard about the ferocity of the Shun bandits. Maybe they are not as fierce as the Jin soldiers, and I am afraid that they are not comparable to ordinary bandits. "

"Now that the Mengjin Ferry is taken by bandits, we will be unable to advance or retreat, and will not be able to make meritorious deeds. Wouldn't it be an added crime?"

"I know you two can't trust me. I have the most cavalry under my command. I want to send all of them under the command of my nephew Cao Bianjiao. The two of you will each send out one hundred and fifty cavalry, making up a thousand cavalry. We will first capture the Mengjin ferry."

"After the army crosses the river, it will not be too late to go with the two. I, Cao Wenzhao, will never covet the two men, not to mention that this generation was raised by the two relatives. How can I make a decision with one word? "

The commander-in-chief Mu Ziqiang and Zhang Quanchang discussed privately for a long time, and felt that if the two of them did not bleed a little, they would really not be able to get rid of the crime.They had no choice but to send their cronies to lead them, and followed Cao Bianjiao to snatch Mengjin Ferry.

Cao Bianjiao actually only led [-] cavalry under Cao Wenzhao's command, and [-] under Mu Ziqiang and Zhang Quanchang's command.

Cao Bianjiao didn't believe in Mu Ziqiang and Zhang Quanchang's troops, so he personally led his troops across the river first.

Now that Cao Bianjiao heard that the rebel army was coming to attack, he only had more than [-] people in his hands at that time.He hurriedly ordered the soldiers whose horses had not crossed the river to form a formation to resist, and at the same time ordered the rest of the soldiers to mount their horses to harass the attack of the lagging rebel cavalry.

One thousand cavalry versus three hundred cavalry seems to have a huge disparity in strength. When it comes to overcoming the enemy in front of you, things are actually not that simple.

There are about a hundred officers and soldiers who do not have horses, and more than two hundred who own war horses.Under the order of Cao Bianjiao, the more than one hundred people formed a simple circular formation with their backs against the river with their lances.

Under the leadership of Cao Bianjiao, the remaining [-] cavalry retreated first, wandering around the periphery, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

The small formation of hundreds of people had a very small area of ​​contact with the enemy, even if it was flanked by about a thousand people, not many people actually fought.

Fortunately, He Jin and He Yilong have been colleagues for a long time, even if there were some conflicts in the past, the tacit understanding between the two would not be delayed.

He Yilong saw that Cao Bianjiao's cavalry group happened to be on the left side of the officers and soldiers, so he led the team to turn to the left and rushed towards the cavalry led by Cao Bianjiao on the river bank.

And when He Jin saw him, he understood He Yilong's kindness, and also divided his troops into two, and surrounded the officers and soldiers arrayed by the river bank again.

The rebel cavalry took the lead in fighting against the officers and soldiers in formation.The Art of War says: Don't hit the majestic formation, and now you can't take much care of it in an emergency.

After a burst of shooting that was better than nothing, the galloping cavalry slammed into the infantry in front of them.Accompanied by a huge crash, the long lance pierced into the flesh and blood of both sides tragically.

However, relatively speaking, the officers and soldiers in the formation were more tragic. Apart from being stabbed to death by the cavalry, many people fell under the impact and trampling of the horses.

However, these officers and soldiers were unafraid.After the two or three rows of infantry in front of him were knocked away by the cavalry, there was a moment of pause.They counterattacked one after another, killing and wounding the cavalry in front of them with long spears and three-eyed guns.

The cavalry quickly retreated to the side, breaking away from contact and entanglement with the infantry as soon as possible.

Just when these cavalrymen turned around and moved to the sides, the second wave of cavalrymen with spears charged over again.

"Left Gold King" He Jin is more ruthless. He is worried that he will be entangled with these more than a hundred infantry for too long, which will not be conducive to destroying Cao Bianjiao's tribe who came across the river.

Therefore, he simply ordered the cavalry under his command to charge one after another, preparing to use wave after wave of repeated charges to grind away the enemy in front of him.

These pawns who were forcibly exchanged by the cavalry of the rebel army also felt aggrieved.All of them are well-raised by Cao Wenzhao. In the past, they were elite riders with iron armor, even if they met the later Jin Jingrider "Ba Yala", they dared to hedge.

The clinker also ended up like this today, but was rubbed against the river by a group of "thieves" with cavalry.

How did Cao Bianjiao not know that these people were all the hard work of his uncle Cao Wenzhao?He saw these elites being surrounded by rebel cavalry from a distance, charging and killing them repeatedly like a blood mill, and his heart felt like a knife was piercing him.

What a Cao Bianjiao, knowing that he can't get away now.He picked up his long spear, shouted loudly, and led the crowd to charge towards the cavalry of He Yilong's tribe that was rolling in!
