I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 282 Yu Xu’s strategy—cavalry hedge

"You guys, go to the flanks to test each other!"

As a rebel general, Du Jigong certainly knew that it was unlikely that the Han army was bluffing.

Although Du Jigong didn't know where the Han army got so many war horses and created such a big momentum, things had come to this point and it was absolutely impossible for him to give up!

Following Du Jigong's roar, the thousands of cavalry under his command immediately divided into two groups and rushed towards both sides, trying to stop the charging soldiers and horses.

But the rebel cavalry, which had been killing people like crazy in Dingxi City before and was quite tyrannical on the northwest battlefield, was directly beaten to death by the Han army's elite cavalry this time!
This is not because this group of rebel cavalry suddenly lost their abilities and became soft-footed shrimps.

But in order to deal with this battle, Liu Long can be said to have used all his elites!

Liu Long also knew that this cavalry did not mean that infantry mounted war horses and could then be used as cavalry.

If you want to become a cavalry, you must at least undergo rigorous training. Although many of the soldiers here are good at equestrian skills.

But it still takes some time to become a cavalryman.

Therefore, in order to completely eliminate the enemy in front of him in this battle, Liu Long directly ordered the three thousand elite cavalry under his command to appear among them.

The three thousand fine cavalry followed Liu Long and fought out in northern Xinjiang.

And when leaving, the generals in Northern Xinjiang were worried about something unexpected happening to Liu Long, but they strictly selected three thousand elites.

Everyone is a warrior who has gone through fierce battles.

Now three thousand northern Xinjiang elites took the lead in the charge, and the rebel cavalry suffered heavy losses just after the two sides fought.

In front of the elite cavalry of the Han army, they didn't even have to resist. They were quickly cleared by them and then opened a huge gap for them.

In this way, the soldiers and horses behind can also rush in and wipe out the two rebel cavalry used for "testing".

By the time Du Jigong discovered this, the three thousand elite Han troops had already rushed to their flanks.

The Han army formation in front of them was also completed again. Sima Jun, the general of the Han Dynasty's expedition to the west, also directly came to the battlefield in person. He would only continue to counterattack the rebels without giving the opponent any chance to stand up.

Under attack from these three sides, although Du Jigong was very unhappy, he also knew that he could no longer change the current situation.

That Sima Jun was no ordinary person, and the soldiers and horses on both sides were even more impressive. Ban Yong lived up to the name given to him by his father, and the generals in this army were even more powerful veterans.

The group rose up to attack, causing the situation to completely collapse.

"withdraw!"

"Get out!"

After being almost divided and surrounded by the Han army's elite cavalry once again, Du Jigong finally shouted loudly and ordered the army to evacuate quickly, preparing to evacuate desperately.

But it was obviously too late for him to escape from here at this time.

Sima Jun, the general who was in charge of commanding the army, discovered the problem immediately, and then waved the flag in his hand. In an instant, the big man's military formation changed again.

The defense turned into an attack, and at the same time it directly entangled the rebel cavalry who was about to escape, and the cavalry on both sides launched another charge.

With words of killing in his mouth, he took advantage of the rebels' momentum to vent, and finally rushed their military formation in one go, and then separated the rebel cavalry.

The soldiers and horses from the rear swarmed forward and killed the separated rebel cavalry on the spot.The rebel general Du Jigong also discovered this. Seeing that most of his troops were lost, Du Jigong was so angry that his teeth began to itch.

But he also knows now that if he doesn't think of a way to leave quickly, what he has to face next will not be as simple as losing more than half.

"Evacuate!"

Shouting loudly again, Du Jigong and the remaining rebels began to evacuate frantically towards his home base of Dingxi City.

In Du Jigong's view, Dingxi City was so tall that even if he was tricked into losing more than half of it this time, so what?
As long as he returns to Dingxi City, as long as he continues to guard the city gate and rely on the city, what can they do even if they have cavalry?

It's just a group of cavalry. Can they still ride their horses on the city wall?
When he thought of this, a smile appeared on Du Jigong's face again, and he felt that his ambition was coming back again.

Under Dingxi City, Du Jigong looked at the closed city gate and found nothing wrong. The silence on the city wall looked so reasonable.

"You haven't opened the city gate yet, haven't you seen that the general has returned?"

Du Jigong's personality is much more irritable than that of his brother Du Qi, although returning to Dingxicheng safely made him feel relaxed.

But seeing the soldiers on the city wall so blind, I still couldn't help but feel angry.

"Open the door, open the door quickly!"

"A bunch of idiots, hurry up and open the city gate. Can't you see who a certain family is?"

Amidst the roars, the gates of Dingxi City finally began to slowly open, and then the soldiers and horses in the city seemed to take the initiative to come out to greet the defeated general.

Du Jigong looked at the slowly opening city gate, listened to the movement coming from inside, and wanted to walk inside with a gloomy face.

But just as he was about to step onto the suspension bridge and enter the city, he suddenly couldn't help but frown and his ears twitched slightly.

"Boom~Boom~"

The dull sound seemed like the whisper of thunder in the distance, but Du Jigong, who had been fighting on the battlefield all year round, still heard something unusual.

And when he looked up again, he saw the dark and empty city gate, but there was also a cold feeling rushing directly into his heart.

"No!" Du Jigong couldn't help but exclaimed, "Evacuate quickly, evacuate quickly!"

At this time, Du Jigong had already felt the danger, but as before, the moment the danger arrived, it was already too late even if he noticed the problem.

Just as Du Jigong roared, the disguise on the city wall was finally completely torn off.

The flag belonging to the rebels was cut down directly and replaced by a large flag with the Chinese character "Han" fluttering in the wind.

Then, a Han army that had been preparing for a long time finally appeared in the dark city gate entrance and began to charge.

The leader was none other than Liu Long's attendant, Deng Zun, the young general who accompanied the army this time.

"kill!"

Following Deng Zun's roar, the Han army charged towards Du Jigong again, and on both sides of Dingxi City, two cavalrymen of more than a thousand people also charged directly.
