Chapter 132: Chengde Wolf Riding
You Yong asked for a fight, Gongsun Changming looked at him and asked with a smile: "Can the wolf cavalry still fight in the past?"
"Become stronger!" You Yong clenched his fists and shook in front of Gongsun Changming's eyes.
"Let's wait and see!" Gongsun Changming laughed.
Li Anguo carried his hands behind his back, not looking at You Yong, but stared at the Khitan cavalry outside the Yingpan that the Zhenwu Army was building in the distance, "Shaking down the enemy's spirit and boosting my majesty. It is even more important for us now."
You Yong nodded vigorously: "Use me in the first battle, and I will win."
"Go!" Li Anguo said in a deep voice.
You Yong stopped talking and walked. Liang Han, who was on the side, looked at him and took a step forward: "Master You, I'll help you."
You Yong smiled and waved his hand: "No, you go, it's just a drag!"
Liang Han stopped in shock, and then he looked dissatisfied and annoyed. When will Liang Han become a drag on others on the battlefield?
Without waiting for him to speak, Gongsun Changming grabbed Liang Han and said, "The Chengde Wolf Rider has never exceeded one hundred horses. It is a one-piece and has its own tactics. If you join as an outsider, it is not a helping force, it is really a drag, and it will destroy their integrity. You will open your eyes and see how the Chengde Wolf Rider, which is famous in the north, fights?"
"In the decisive battle in Zhenzhou, I led the Delang Cavalry as the first step. One hundred cavalry defeated the main armored soldiers of the Wang family, laying a solid foundation for the final victory." Li Anguo's eyes flashed with strange brilliance, and his back became more straighter.
"How many people are left in those group back then?" Gongsun Changming asked.
"Half! All the over forty years old, except You Yong, have left. They either have to leave the battlefield because of their age, because they are old and have to leave the battlefield, or they have entered the army and become officers. Now half of them have been added to them later." Speaking of this, Li Anguo's face was a little dim. Many of them followed Li Che to Hejian this time, but I am afraid that the chance of returning is slim.
"Du Lichun was also a member of the wolf cavalry back then?" Liang Han asked suddenly.
Li Anguo glanced back at Liang Han, and then said calmly for a while: "Yes! He was just one of the ordinary members at that time, but he was young, and You Yong still valued him very much at that time."
Liang Han slapped his lips, an ordinary member? It seems that this ordinary member can be comparable to him! By the way, Tu Lichun was still a young boy back then, and Tu Lichun is in his prime now, so he was naturally not comparable to him now.
While speaking, he saw a cavalry team of only more than a hundred people gathered under the city wall. Seeing these people's outfits, Liang Han finally understood why they were called Wolf Riders?
Everyone, including You Yong, looked like a wolf's head after pulling his helmet underneath.
There were no other weapons in each of the hundreds of armored warriors except for a slashing sword. This reminded Liang Han of the knife in Tu Lichun's hand. It was indeed born by a mother, exactly the same. Even the hundred horses were covered in leather armor. A stop beneath the city could immediately attract everyone's attention.
"If there were thousands of cavalry troops, wouldn't they sweep across the north?" Liang Han exclaimed. Although he had been following Gongsun Changming to Zhenzhou for a long time, it was the first time today that he saw more than a hundred wolf cavalry gathering together. He could occasionally see one or two people, and most of the time, these people were wearing casual clothes, so how could they be as powerful as they are now?
"Although there are only more than a hundred wolf riders, their annual expenses are enough to raise a thousand-person soldier." Li An Guodao." Thousands of wolf riders? I can't afford to raise even if you sell me. Besides, these more than a hundred people were carefully selected throughout Chengde, and they are still being selected every year. In more than ten years, they have only added more than fifty people."
Liang Han widened his eyes in surprise. This requirement is too high, right?
"Che'er's five hundred cavalry are the substitutes for the wolf cavalry. If they can fight a few more bad battles and come back alive, they will have the most basic qualifications. Unfortunately, after this battle, I don't know if anyone can come back." Li Anguo said with regret.
Speaking of this topic, everyone on the top of the city fell silent. A few days passed, and no news came from Hejian, and even a scattered warrior was unable to escape back, which itself illustrates the extreme severity of the problem. Even between Hejian Prefecture and Shenzhou, there are countless enemies now, but the enemy cannot seal all the places, and it is unlikely that they will escape back on a large scale. But as an individual, the hope of escaping back is actually very high, but now there is no one.
Lee Anguo is actually planning the worst.
Gongsun Changming looked at Li Anguo's face from the side, but he felt that Li Anguo, who was young, seemed to be gradually reviving in this already aged body. The expression in his eyes became stronger and stronger day by day. This was the Li Anguo that Gongsun Changming had once been familiar with, not the guy who was indecisive, worried about gains and losses, wanted everything, and didn't want to lose anything.
The loud sound of the suspension bridge dropping awakened Gongsun Changming's memories. He held the wall with both hands. He saw Cheng Delang riding a pegasus out of the open city gate and rushed straight to the camp of Zhenwu Army in the distance along the suspension bridge.
After leaving the city, the less than 100 cavalrymen rushed forward without any pause, and while running, they adjusted to a storm formation at an extremely fast speed.
You Yong was not at the forefront, but was at the end of the team.
"You Yong is old too!" Gongsun Changming sighed: "Thinking about the person who charged in the front back then, he was always the one who charged forward."
"It's 45 years old." Li Anguo also has a deep feeling." The one in front is Min Rou. Although the name is Rou, it has the courage of You Yong back then. He is one of the most powerful competitors of the next generation of wolf riders."
Liang Han coughed dryly, and at this moment, he couldn't help but think of Tu Lichun.
Above the city wall, there were a huge drum of cowhide on all sides, and the moment Chengde Wolf Rider jumped out of the city gate, the drum sounded deafeningly, and it immediately pulled Liang Han back to the battlefield from his imagination.
The Zhenwu Jiedushi Wang Feng naturally would not be unprepared. Almost all the Jiedushis in the Tang Dynasty fought with swords and shots on the battlefield, and there were very few people who had never been on the battlefield.
When the army arrived at the city of Shenzhou, it began to build camps. Naturally, there were elite soldiers lined up to defend themselves, and there were also Khitan cavalry returning one after another, Yu Ge on the battlefield. However, when he saw the cavalry with only more than a hundred people holding the wolf flag high and his face changed slightly when he saw the cavalry that had left the city with only a hundred people holding the wolf flag high.
How could Chengde Wolf Rider be unfamiliar to those of them who are adjacent to Chengde?
"Tell Yelu Yuan to fight with all his strength." He said to the general beside him.
This time, there were about 8,000 Khitan cavalry sent by Zhang Zhongwu, of which the Yelu Qi tribe of the Siwandan tribe was even stronger and went to Hejian to encircle and suppress Li Che. The Siwanmo tribe of the Yelu Yuan belonged to was slightly less powerful, with only 3,000 people. Originally, with Wang Feng ambushing on the important road to Hejian from Shenzhou, he just waited for Li Anguo to send troops to rescue Li Che, and then ambushed halfway.
It’s a pity that they waited for several days, and Shenzhou was still quiet. However, the scouts sent out came back to report that Shenzhou was summoning troops to enter Shenzhou City on a large scale. Wang Feng immediately understood that Li Anguo was about to cut off his arm. Unfortunately, he couldn’t help but admire Li Anguo very much.
It is terrible to be an opponent who can always accurately judge the situation and make the most favorable choice for him. Zhang Zhongwu told him that Li Anguo is already an old man, but in Wang Feng's view, this statement is probably wrong.
There are still some fighting in Shenzhou!
Wang Feng was quite afraid of Chengde Wolf Cavalry, so he naturally would not let his subordinates test their swords with his body to see if this army that made a huge reputation more than ten years ago still had the majesty of the past. Anyway, there were so many Khitan cavalry under his command. Although these people were not good at fighting collectively, they were all skilled in bows and horses, and they just went to try the quality of the other party.
"Tell Yelu Yuan that cutting off one head of this cavalry will be worth 100 cents of money." After thinking about it, Wang Feng added.
Yelu Yuan did not understand Chengde Wolf Cavalry, but Wang Feng's heavy reward made him tempted. If all the other persons were left behind, it would be ten thousand yuan. This was a huge sum of money for the Siwanmo tribe who was so poor that he was very poor. The poor Khitans were suppressed by Zhang Zhongwu in military and economically exploited, and they all lived a miserable life. Even if he was a Khitan noble, he lived even worse than a small landlord in the Tang land.
It’s not that he can’t get money to improve his life, but that every money he gets must be invested in his troops. Otherwise, other tribes will swallow him alive without waiting for Zhang Zhongwu to deal with him.
This life was so miserable, and now he had the opportunity to get rich, so he could not help but look green.
With a sound of leadership, three thousand Khitan cavalry went to two thousand. Twenty to one, Yelu Yuan felt that it was completely enough.
The Khitan cavalry spread like a flood. Compared with the other side, the Chengde Wolf Cavalry was like an inconspicuous little stone, but the next scene caused the people on the city and the enemy and us to almost drop their chins.
On the top of the city wall, all Liang Han could see was the sharp sword light.
It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the small stone suddenly burst out with dazzling light, which was the result of more than a hundred people firing their swords at the same time.
Then, the floods all over the mountains were divided into two, and wherever the white light went, people were leaning on their backs and horses. The seemingly fierce Khitan cavalry seemed to have become vulnerable babies in front of Chengde Wolf Cavalry.
Kill the enemy formation thoroughly and turn sideways. The triangular ridged knife formation turned into a straight line. After turning around, it returned to its previous lineup in a blink of an eye and rushed back all the way.
The soldiers of Chengde Mansion on the city were thrust in their blood, and the drums were beating louder. Thousands of people shouted loudly above the city. More than a hundred cavalry did not stop, and once again penetrated the enemy formation and rushed towards the city gate.
When they ran to the moat, the suspension bridge was just put down again, the city gate opened, and the Chengde wolf rode into the fishing line. Outside the city gate, corpses were everywhere and blood flowed into a river.
Yelu Yuan blinked his eyes and looked at all this, as if he didn't understand what was going on.
This battle was very short, but it caused everyone to shock their hearts.
Liang Han's situation was not much better. In the shock, powerful footsteps came from his ears.
