Invincible son

Chapter 837 836 [Thousands of Riders Volume Hiraoka]

The sun in mid-October is not so blazing, the north wind is blowing the hills, and the fallen leaves are falling on the ground. This should have been a very ordinary and dull autumn afternoon.

When Pei Yue led two thousand cavalry and appeared in the distance, the atmosphere suddenly changed in the direction of killing.

Fang Yunsong looked at the figure standing in front of the formation, his face looked calm, but in fact he was constantly fighting with heaven and man in his heart.

Before today, he was afraid of Zang Fengwei's great reputation in the past wars, so he took the initiative to back down and monitor.It's not that he has no guts, but that cavalry is too precious to Nan Zhou. Before he is sure, he can't easily consume the strength of Dingshanying.Even if the two sides fought to the end, Fang Yunsong would find it difficult to accept this ending.

Fortunately, Pei Yue didn't take the initiative to ask for a fight, but just tried to escape with Zang Fengwei. At first Fang Yunsong was happy with this, because after all, the focus of this battle was Jiangling City, not the two thousand cavalry on the opposite side.

But as Pei Yue continued to attack the counties in Ningzhou, Fang Yunsong had to make a decision, otherwise Ningzhou would be messed up by Pei Yue before Jiangling finished fighting.Logically speaking, after he issued a warning to the prefectures and counties of Ningzhou to strengthen the walls and clear the country, and borrowed [-] infantry from the Ningguo camp, the most sensible choice for the opponent was to continue fleeing towards the west.

Pei Yue didn't do that.

The meeting at this moment seemed too ordinary, as if he had been waiting in this plain area for a long time.

Fang Yunsong is cautious by nature, in terms of calmness and patience, he is even better than Fang Yuntian, otherwise he would not be able to practice the archery technique of piercing Yang with a hundred steps.The scene in front of him made him feel weird subconsciously. Where did Pei Yue's confidence come from?

"Second son, Liang people are so arrogant, what a god-sent opportunity! This general is not talented, and I would like to take down that fellow for the second son!" The general standing beside Fang Yunsong was named Li Cunnian, and he was the infantry commander of the Ningguo camp. , responsible for commanding the five thousand infantry.

Fang Yunsong pondered over and over again, the opponent only had [-] cavalry after all, and his own had [-] cavalry plus [-] infantry. The difference in strength was four times greater, so why should they flee without fighting?
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said: "Li Dutong, please lead the troops to guard the rear army, and then advance slowly!"

"Okay!" Li Cunnian shouted, and immediately returned to his infantry.

The war broke out.

……

Pei Yue looked at the opponent's army formation that was beginning to advance, leaned over and touched the neck of the mount, and said softly: "Old man, you have worked hard today, please have a good meal after you are done."

The steed shook its head and neighed several times as if it was human.

Pei Yue smiled, took a deep breath slowly, and said loudly: "Meeting on a narrow road—"

The soldiers behind them blushed and roared angrily, "The brave wins!"

"kill!"

Before the words fell, two thousand cavalry urged their horses forward, like a huge wave sweeping across the green grass, and charged towards the two armies of the Southern Zhou Dynasty on horseback.

On the other side, Fang Yunsong waved his hand, and the three thousand riders greeted him solemnly.

At this moment, Pei Yue sternly shouted: "Score!"

The beam cavalry charging at high speed suddenly split into two, and Pei Yue led half of his troops to continue galloping in the previous direction. The target was naturally the Dingshan camp led by Fang Yunsong.Tang Linfen led a thousand cavalry from Jiangling City to change direction, and drew an arc during the attack, which was impressively aimed at the Southern Zhou infantry marching behind the Dingshan camp.

No matter Fang Yunsong or Li Cunnian, after noticing this change, they all burst into anger. The difference in strength between the two sides is so large that these Beiliang people dare to divide their troops, clearly dreaming of eating everyone on their side.They are all men who lick blood on the battlefield. No one can bear such contempt and humiliation. Even Fang Yunsong, who has always been steady, has red eyes.

Sooner or later, the two elite cavalry approached a hundred paces or so in the blink of an eye.

There was no need for the commander to order, both sides drew their bows and set up their arrows at the same time, and the rain of arrows covered the sky and covered the sun, and came with a bang.

It was only at this time that Fang Yunsong discovered a problem. Because of the obvious difference in numbers, the Dingshanying charged in a long shape nearly one mile wide, while the Zangfengwei maintained an extremely compact and tapered charge with its superb horse control skills.

People around him kept being shot down by arrows. Fang Yunsong forced himself to calm down. He stared fixedly at Pei Yue who was facing him. He reached out and grabbed three long arrows. He stretched out his ox-horn bow on the galloping horse. In an instant, it was shaped like a full moon, and its strings were loose like thunder. .

This is the first time that Pei Yue has seen someone who can put on a three-shot posture while charging on horseback.

The whistling sound came to my face.

Pei Yue concentrated all his attention and swung his saber without hesitation.

An arrow flew over his head, another passed by his ear, and the third was cut off by him.

This was just a small episode of the hedging between the two sides, and Fang Yunsong never thought that he could succeed when the opponent was on guard, but Pei Yue could not help but feel a little haze in his heart when he dealt with his strongest archery so easily.

The distance of a hundred paces was fleeting, and Zang Fengwei went straight into the heartland of Dingshanying. This time, they did not choose to repeatedly penetrate, which they were best at in the past, but after the speed of the mounts slowed down, they fought in groups of ten horses on the spot.

At the foot of Jiangling City back then, Fang Yunsong saw the Jinwu Guards being pierced by two charges with his own eyes. At that time, he was shocked and couldn't help being a little contemptuous. He always felt that the general Xia Fei had a false name, and two thousand against two thousand was not a part of the Northern Liang cavalry at all. combined enemy.

It wasn't until now that the two sides were in a fight, and Pei Yue was indistinguishable from his three thousand cavalry with only one thousand cavalry, did he realize that he still underestimated the strength of this Beiliang cavalry.

On the other side of the battlefield, Tang Linfen led a thousand cavalry to attack Li Cunnian's infantry formation.

In the face of the fast-moving cavalry, the infantry could only choose to defend. Li Cunnian was not afraid of this, on the contrary, he was looking forward to the opponent's charge.From ancient times to the present, the confrontation between infantry and cavalry has been a very complicated issue, and it is by no means a simple contradiction.In order to deal with the impact of the cavalry, the Military Aircraft Department of the Southern Zhou Dynasty thought of many ways, and finally decided on the strategy of forming an array of armored pikemen to meet the enemy.

Li Cunnian sneered as he watched the Beiliang cavalry rushing towards them like a tide.

It's time for these Liang people with their eyes above the top to have a taste of what it means to be like a forest of spears.

However, the smile froze on his face the next moment.

Tang Linfen charged forward with the Tibetan front guard, and suddenly changed direction when he was about [-] steps away from the Southern Zhou infantry formation, from straight forward to gliding like a fish, with an extremely chic and elegant posture.

Immediately afterwards, these cavalrymen drew long arrows from their quiver bags, and displayed their extremely superb riding and shooting skills around the infantry formation.

Of course, there were archers among the infantry of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, but they were like wooden stakes on the ground at the moment, while the opponents were cavalry moving at high speed, how could they meet the enemy?
Li Cunnian looked at the extremely passive situation, and murmured: "Surround shot..."

The infantry must ensure the stability of the formation, otherwise they will be torn to pieces by the cavalry. Of course Li Cunnian understands this truth, but he just didn't expect the opponent's cavalry general to be so experienced and shameless.

But he can still hold his breath, because the cavalry's arrows will always run out.

You just need to be patient for a while, and wait for the Dingshan camp ahead to win and encircle.

Fang Yunsong naturally understood this too. The key to this battle was whether he could defeat the thousand cavalry led by Pei Yue himself.However, what he still couldn't understand was that the battle situation in front of him was already anxious, why did Pei Yue still choose to fight firmly?

A terrible thought suddenly popped up in his mind, this is not fighting, but messing up the situation and dragging himself down.

It's just that when he understands, it's too late.

Pei Yue hacked to death a Southern Zhou cavalryman, turned his head to look into the distance, and showed a relaxed smile.

On the northwest side of this vast plain, black dots appeared in his sight one by one, and then gradually gathered into an unstoppable torrent, rushing towards this side.

Huanghuang's four thousand girder cavalry, led by Gu Fan, who is now more and more mature, appeared almost miraculously at a time that Fang Yunsong absolutely could not have expected, entering the battlefield like an invincible spear!
