I summon all the famous generals in history in another world

Chapter 1448 The Arrogant General Lan Yu, and Li Wenzhong of Jingyuan!

"The right flank is in dire straits now. Fei has been killed in action. If we do not break this deadlock in time, our army will surely be defeated. The 3,000 battalion is our army's last elite force and the key to breaking this deadlock. I am entrusting them to the two of you."

Xu Da got straight to the point.

"Lan Yu, you will lead 1,500 cavalry to charge at the enemy's flank from the front. Make sure to break through their defenses. Don't linger in battle, just charge through!"

"Li Wenzhong, you lead another 1,500 cavalry to flank the enemy and get behind them to harass their archers and drummers—Wu Qi relies entirely on flag signals and drumbeats for command. If we cut off his command chain, we'll have won half the battle!"

He pointed to the right flank of the Hengzhou army's position, which was the weak point where the White Tiger Cavalry and Hengwu Soldiers were connected.

"You two, one brave and the other wise and resourceful, I believe you can fight in perfect harmony. Lan Yu, I know you suffered a setback before, this is your chance to wash away the shame; Wen Zhong, the lord entrusted the three thousand battalions to you because he believes you can hold the line."

"Remember, you are not alone. I will have the Earth and Wood formations of the Five Armies Camp cooperate with your advance, and Jiang Xiaobai's powerful allied forces will also hold you back from the front. Just charge forward!"

Xu Da glanced at the two of them and emphasized his tone.

"This humble general thanks Commander Xu for his trust! If I fail to break through this formation, I am willing to offer my head in return!"

Upon hearing this, the ferocity in Lan Yu's eyes instantly transformed into a fierce fighting spirit. He dismounted and knelt on one knee.

He had been holding back for so long, eager to take revenge on Wu Qi. Now that he had such an elite force as the Three Thousand Battalion, it was the perfect opportunity to redeem himself.

"This humble general will certainly live up to his mission, cooperate seamlessly with General Lan, sever the enemy's command chain, and help the army break the deadlock!"

Li Wenzhong also bowed in greeting, his tone calm and composed.

"Go! Let the Hengzhou army see the cavalry of my Great Xuan Yellow Turban!"

The two mounted their horses, and Xu Da personally handed them two general's flags embroidered with the characters "Lan" and "Li".

"Order!"

The two responded in unison, turned their horses around, and galloped towards the camp of the Three Thousand Battalion.

The place was already in an uproar, with three thousand cavalrymen leading their warhorses, all eager to fight.

"Three thousand battalions, charge with me!"

Lan Yu and Li Wenzhong each mounted their horses, raised their general's flags, and shouted loudly.

"kill!"

Three thousand cavalrymen roared in unison, mounted their horses, and galloped toward the right flank of the Hengzhou army with the sound of thunderous hooves.

This elite cavalry unit lived up to its reputation. During the raid, their formation remained perfectly intact. The front-line cavalrymen carried lances, while the rear-line cavalrymen carried short crossbows and short swords at their waists. They were well-rounded in both offense and defense, clearly demonstrating their high level of training.

At this time, on the right flank of the Hengzhou army, Tian Zaibiao's White Tiger Cavalry was still locked in battle with the remnants of Shen's forces, while the Hengwu soldiers were arrayed in a square formation to guard against a counterattack by the Yellow Turban army.

Standing atop the central watchtower, Wu Qi saw billowing dust in the distance, and his expression changed slightly—having fought for many years, he could immediately tell that this was a sign of elite cavalry charging forward, and in considerable numbers.

"Commander, they are the enemy's elite cavalry!"

Wu Qi's personal guards exclaimed in surprise.

"They've split their forces! One group is charging head-on, while the other is flanking—Xu Da is trying to cut off my command!"

Wu Qi remained unusually calm. He narrowed his eyes and quickly determined the direction of the cavalry's attack.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lan Yu led 1,500 cavalrymen to the front line of the Hengzhou army's right flank.

Seeing this, the captain of the Hengwu infantry immediately ordered them to form a defensive formation. The spearmen raised their spears, and the chevaux-de-frise quickly planted their chevaux-de-frise into the ground, attempting to stop the cavalry charge. But who was Lan Yu? His greatest skill was breaking through enemy lines!
"Brothers, charge with me! Dodge the barricades, find an opening and break through!"

He swung his lance and shouted.

"Ding! Blue Jade's skill, Pride and Commander, is activated!"
Currently, Lan Yu has a base martial prowess of 100, a command value of 97 (98), an intelligence value of 80, and a political value of 64.
"With the activation of Lan Yu's 'Arrogant Commander' skill, Lan Yu's current Command value increases to 98!"

The cavalry of the Three Thousand Battalion were well-trained. Upon hearing the order, they immediately adjusted their formation and, like a tide, bypassed the barricades and charged towards the gaps in the Hengwu infantry formation. Their horse spears were eighteen feet long, longer than the Hengwu infantry's long spears, and could pierce the enemy from a great distance.

Lan Yu took the lead, his lance thrusting out like a venomous snake, instantly piercing the armor of two Hengwu soldiers. His warhorse then smashed through the barricades, tearing a gap in the square formation.

"Fight in!"

Lan Yu roared and led his cavalry to charge the square formation. Although the Hengwu soldiers' square formation was solid, it was still difficult to withstand such a fierce cavalry charge.

The cavalry charged wildly through the square formation, thrusting with their lances and slashing with their short swords. The soldiers of the Hengwu Army fell to the ground one after another, and their formation was instantly thrown into chaos.

Meanwhile, Li Wenzhong's 1,500 cavalry had already outflanked the Hengzhou army from the rear, with their target being the crossbowmen's camp and the drummers' positions.

"Ding! Li Wenzhong's skill 'Jingyuan' has been activated!"
Jingyuan: Valiant cavalry gallop across the borders to pacify the world, and wise strategies secure the country and stabilize distant frontiers. This skill has a chance to be awakened by famous generals of the Northern Expeditions and those who guard the frontiers.

Effect 1: The Northern Expedition's elite troops gain +2 to their own leadership and +1 to their intelligence during battle, and +1 to the attack power of all allied troops. If the battlefield is located in the northern frontier, they also suppress the enemy general's leadership by 1 point.

Effect 2: Galloping Cavalry. When leading cavalry into battle, your own leadership is increased by 1, and the speed and combat power of the cavalry are improved; for every hundred miles of raid, your own intelligence is temporarily increased by 1 (up to 3 stacks).

Effect 3: Wisdom and Security on the Frontier. When handling frontier affairs, Politics +2, while also increasing the morale and loyalty of the people in the governed area and reducing the risk of rebellion; if a large alien tribe is successfully pacified, the user's four attributes will be permanently increased by 1 (up to 2 stacks).

Effect 1: Breaking the deadlock in times of crisis. When in adversity or under enemy attack, your intelligence increases by 2, and you can detect one enemy strategic attack (such as an ambush or feigned surrender). If you successfully break the deadlock, you will also increase your general's leadership by 1 point.

Effect 5: Imperial Heroes. As a member of the Ming imperial family, one's own charm increases by 2, and the loyalty of one's soldiers is greatly increased. If the monarch (Zhu Yuanzhang) is present, one's own leadership and intelligence increase by 1, triggering the "Imperial Family United" effect, and becoming immune to one negative skill.

Li Wenzhong currently has a base leadership value of 98 (99) and a base intelligence value of 95. When the first effect of his skill "Jingyuan" is activated, his leadership value increases by 2 and his intelligence value increases by 1. He currently commands cavalry. When the second effect is activated, his leadership value increases by an additional 1.

Li Wenzhong's current leadership stat has risen to 101, and his intelligence stat has risen to 96!

The defenses here were relatively weak, with only a small number of guerrilla cavalry and infantry guarding the area. At Li Wenzhong's command, the cavalrymen took out their crossbows and fired at the drummer and signalman.

"Damn it, the enemy cavalry have circled around us!"

The captain of the crossbow battalion exclaimed in alarm, trying to organize his soldiers to counterattack, but Li Wenzhong's cavalry was too fast and rushed up to them in the blink of an eye.

The crossbow bolts struck the drummers and signalmen with precision. Many drummers fell to the ground, and the signalmen were also shot through the arm, their command flags falling to the ground.

For a time, the right flank of the Hengzhou army was thrown into chaos. Without the command of drums and flag signals, the coordination between the Hengwu soldiers and the White Tiger cavalry was disrupted. Lan Yu's cavalry took the opportunity to expand their gains, breaking apart part of the Hengwu soldiers' square formation. Tian Zaibiao's White Tiger cavalry was also tied down and unable to return to reinforce in time.

"Good! Lan Yu and Li Wenzhong have not disappointed me! Issue the order: the Five Armies' Earth Formation and Wood Formation will advance immediately to cooperate with the Three Thousand Battalion in expanding the gains!"

"Jiang Xiaobai, send your allied forces to charge! Stop dawdling!"

Standing under the commander's flag, Xu Da saw the three thousand battalions achieve their first victory, and a smile of satisfaction finally appeared on his face.

"Brothers, charge! Take the Hengzhou army's position, and the reward is one hundred taels of silver!"

This time, Jiang Xiaobai dared not be negligent. He drew his sword and shouted.

Upon hearing of the reward, the soldiers of the powerful allied forces immediately perked up, raised their swords and spears, and charged toward the Hengzhou army's position.
