Section 200 Surrounding
Yuan Wuwei guessed correctly. At this time, Liu Yansi was opening the east gate and letting the Ziqing cavalry enter the city.
Caizhou is still missing in terms of how to conceive and plan.
The smoke brought by the fires all over the sky indicates that the arson organized by the beggar group was successful. This cleverly dragged down some of the gentry's family soldiers. After all, they burned their own property, and they were also worried about themselves. It was also appropriate to split a handful of people to put out the fire.
In addition, the arrangement of Xuzhou was successful at the East Gate, so almost no one stopped the Zibo Qing army from entering the city smoothly from the East Gate.
So when the Caizhou cavalry who rushed over to the east gate, they just saw the situation where the Ziqing cavalry entered the city at the east gate. Without having time to think about it, Yuan Wenliang met with Zhao Tong and launched an attack on the Ziqing infantry that followed along the official road to the east.
Yuan Wenliang didn't know whether this could achieve his goal, but he had no choice now.
Seeing that most of the cavalry entered the city, Liu Yansi was also very confident. He had already received news that the Caizhou army had launched an offensive at the Ximen and was breaking the Ximen with an intention to enter the city.
When he got the news, Liu Yansi evaluated the situation.
He did not think that the monk soldiers in Qingliang Temple and Kaiyuan Temple could play a lot of roles. Even though there were indeed some martial arts masters among the monk soldiers in the two temples, they were still far from the characters in Yuan Wuwei, Yuan Wuwei and Ruyang Eight Pillars, and Liu Yansi never put his hopes on others.
So he made a decisive decision to launch an attack along Shuncheng Street. The Caizhou Army, which may have broken through the frontal hard bar, as for the subsequent troops, he believed that Chai Yong could make proper arrangements.
Several torrents collided head-on along the streets within the city walls, or along the east-west and central axis of Songcheng - Shuncheng Street.
The two battalions of cavalry arranged by Liu Yansi outside the city were just right to raid the Caizhou army, who was about to enter the city.
Yuan Wuwei had not considered that the Xuzhou army might attack outside the city, but he believed that the most urgent task of the Xuzhou army was to control the city. Liu Yansi first needed to squeeze out the Caizhou army from the city. This was what Liu Yansi should do. Therefore, when the two battalions of Ziqing Cavalry swept out from outside the city, they indeed caught the Caizhou cavalry who were preparing to enter the city by surprise.
However, an accident does not mean that there is no precaution, but it only delayed a little in time. The Caizhou Cavalry quickly stabilized the situation with its numerical advantage, but it still had some impact on the Caizhou Cavalry's entry into the city.
The battle on the city has already decided the outcome. Even if there are experts from White Horse Temple to help, facing a powerful man of heaven of Yuan Wuwei, the three of them joined forces and retreated in less than ten rounds.
The price paid was that two people were seriously injured and one was slightly injured. The only lucky thing was that all three of them were able to escape. This was because Yuan Wuwei had no time to take care of himself and ensuring that the Caizhou army successfully entered the city was the top priority.
However, the monk soldiers from the two temples did not completely withdraw from the battlefield. They were still dormant in the houses in the west gate, waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack, which forced Yuan Wuwei to arrange Yuan Wenqing, Yuan Wenhe and others around the city gate. Faced with such attacks from the Heavenly Level and Heavenly Realm masters, the cavalry entering the city is very susceptible to interference, which affects the speed of the cavalry entering the city, which is probably one of the other's goals.
This also forced Yuan Wuwei to take a defensive position in the Xichengmen area. Only in this way can we ensure that the Ximen is not lost, which is the key to the subsequent entry of the Caizhou infantry.
In contrast, the situation at the East Gate was much better. Liu Yansi, who had firmly controlled the situation in the East Gate, had already taken the initiative to launch an offensive without waiting for Chai Yong to command the infantry to arrive.
The Second Army of Ziqing Cavalry spread its wings and collided head-on with the invading Caizhou Cavalry, and the two sides immediately strangled each other.
Although there are two figures in the Eight Pillars of Ruyang, Yuan Wenliang and Zhao Tong, the disadvantages of the Caizhou cavalry are revealed in the face of the powerful Ziqing Iron Cavalry. Even though there is still a significant difference in combat effectiveness between the Second Ziqing Cavalry and the First Ziqing Cavalry, it is not weak at all compared to the Caizhou Cavalry. On the contrary, it has some advantages in the war.
Caizhou has always lacked horses, so it is difficult to develop cavalry.
But even so, the Yuan family gritted their teeth and bought horses from Guanzhong and built a cavalry of nearly 10,000 people. After annexing the two states of Yingbo, the cavalry quickly expanded to six armies of 15,000, but it was still far from Xuzhou.
However, at this time, the Caizhou cavalry still showed the combat effectiveness of a cavalry. Facing the Ziqing cavalry whose horses were obviously taller, they still rode their horses without fear and waved their swords and bravely responded.
The entire wilderness within a few miles of radius outside the East Gate immediately turned into a bloody battlefield, with people shouting, horses neighing, gold and iron roaring, people's heads rolling, and flesh and blood flying.
The infantry of Ziqing Army came very quickly, faster than expected.
At this time, the discipline and combat effectiveness of the Old Huai Right Infantry Army could be best demonstrated. Faced with the chaos outside the East Gate, Huang Anjin arranged the fifth battalion to launch an offensive in an arc shape.
This time Huang Anjin was appointed as the commander of the First Infantry Army of Zibo Qing Army.
If we talk about martial arts strength, Huang Anjin is actually a little lacking in order to be competent in this position.
Although Jiang Feng provided him with the best help in the past two years, including using the method of "Qingnang Shu" to specially give him two pills to help him consolidate his original essence, and also put a lot of effort into the guidance of the Five Animals Kung Fu. Huang Anjin himself also studied hard and practiced hard. In addition, he had experienced several difficult battles and was very hard for him. But after all, his foundation was still a little weaker. Even though his martial arts strength has improved a lot in the past two years, he can only enter the late stage of rest, and he is still some distance from the Taixi period. Unless he encounters some special circumstances, it will be difficult for him to enter the Little Heavenly Territory in his life.
Martial arts practice is like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat, and it also requires high talent. If you can make breakthroughs by diligent practice and hard practice, it is basically impossible to cross the threshold of heavenly strength without sufficient talent and a foundation laid since childhood.
Although Huang Anjin has been resting in the White Horse Temple martial arts since he was a child, he has met a famous teacher to guide him too late and his foundation is not so solid. Second, his martial arts talent is indeed not very good. He can only be said to be a middle-class and superior posture. Therefore, although he has some opportunities and has made progress after joining the army, as he grows older, this kind of progress is not very obvious.
It was not until Jiang Feng deliberately cultivated it, and he gave a lot of tilt in martial arts practice and elixir assistance. In addition, he dared to sacrifice his life and death in several battles to stimulate all his potential to make a try. This was a real breakthrough.
It can be said that without Jiang Feng's deliberate support, Huang Anjin would have stopped at most in the rest period, but now he has entered the late stage of rest, trying to break through the Taixi period, and even in the future he is eager to have the opportunity to attack the Xiaotian throne, so he never stings in fighting his life. As long as he has the chance, he will go out and fight.
Of course, all this needs to be based on the premise of obeying the situation. Huang Anjin is not the kind of person who ignores the overall situation. Of course, he understands the significance of this battle.
Because of this, he not only needs to make careful arrangements, but also lead by example and launch the most fierce attack.
Faced with the fierce battle between the Caizhou cavalry and the Ziqing cavalry, the entire battlefield within a radius of several miles outside the East Gate was covered with blood and blood, but Huang Anjin was unmoved.
He knew that now was not the time to deal with these stalemates. His primary task was to enter the city. Only by entering the city could the infantry's combat power be maximized. However, if anyone dared to stop his children from entering the city, he would not be stingy in a battle to let them understand the reason why those who blocked me would die.
Cavalry that lost the impact speed actually has no advantage for the infantry. In a narrow battlefield environment, infantry soldiers can flexibly form formations and launch attacks. On the contrary, it is not so easy for cavalry soldiers to re-form, especially in a state of melee with the Ziqing Cavalry.
Soon the Caizhou cavalry that blocked the official road was cleaned up, and the infantry in an arc-shaped attack formation began to advance. This attack formation caused the Caizhou cavalry gathered in this section to suffer a lot.
The fifth army of the Ziqing Infantry Army who followed Huang Anjin also came along with the Fifth Army of the Ziqing Infantry Army, which was reorganized by Gu Hua's influence army.
Huang Anjin's First Army of Ziqing Infantry Army opened the way forward, and the Fifth Army of Ziqing Infantry Army followed closely.
Seeing Huang Anjin's first army's fierce offensive and even actively expanded the attack circle and surrounded and killed the divided Caizhou cavalry, the Fifth Army was naturally not willing to let the enemy down.
Gu Hua has been waiting for opportunities, but since Bozhou fell and entered Huaiyou, the army he led has not received much opportunity.
This time, as the prince carried out large-scale rectification of the entire Huai Right Army system and re-planned the five town troops. The army in his hands was mixed with the old Huai Right Army and the Ziqing Army to form the new Ziqing Army.
For Gu Hua, the Zibo Qing army was arranged to compete for Songzhou, which was the best opportunity, and it was aimed at the enemy that Gu Hua hated the most - the Yuan family of Caizhou.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for three years, but this opportunity came so quickly that Gu Hua was secretly happy.
When Yuan Wenliang's figure fell into Gu Hua's eyes, he knew that his opportunity had come.
Although he also noticed another young master who echoed Yuan Wenliang, who had never seen him before, his martial arts strength was also in the late stage of rest, not less than that of himself, and he probably should be a figure among the Eight Pillars of Ruyang.
It seems that this time, the Yuan family of Caizhou was determined to win the will of Songzhou. They actually led the cavalry to attack the infantry of their own side with the Eight Pillars of Ruyang. Perhaps they did not expect that they could break into Songcheng so quickly.
