Chapter 874 In full swing!
On the vast plain, Kuang Guoliang was wearing armor, and his long horse spear was dragged behind him. The cavalry rushed on the ground, stirring up dust in the sky.
"Well, roar!" The cavalry controlled their horses and threw a loud trumpet sound from their mouths. Then they took out their weapons and took out their tip bows, bent their bows and shot them backwards.
The Central Plains Army had already surrounded Kuang Guoliang's cavalry a day ago. Tan Lei was a veteran in war. He used cavalry to encircle Kuang Liang Kingdom, and then quickly divided the siege, separating the more than 10,000 troops from Kuang Liang Kingdom a few half.
But there was one thing he didn't expect, that is, Kuang Liangguo led troops differently from others. He was a man who went against the rules and did not play according to common sense.
If other people's army is divided into several parts, it will definitely be over in an instant. However, the soldiers of Kuang Liang's country are all used to fighting. After being divided and surrounded, not only will they not collapse, but their fighting styles become more flexible and they turn around faster.
Isn’t the cavalry fighting just fast? The martial arts of the world are only fast and cannot be defeated. The cavalry of Kuang Liang Kingdom is all light and fast. Even if they are besieged, they turn around very quickly, coming and going like the wind, and they can’t catch them at all.
The battlefield that Tan Lei chose was Masangkou, which was exactly what Kuang Liang Kingdom liked. In fact, although Kuang Liang Kingdom was very happy, this person had a good fight, and his cavalry style was also very distinctive. As the saying goes, high-skilled talents are brave. When the two sides fought, although Kuang Zi was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of number of people, and the situation seemed to be in danger, it was not easy for Tan Lei to easily defeat Kuang Zi.
After fighting for a day and a night, Tan Lei calculated that three or four thousand people had died on his side, and his opponent had only lost thousands of cavalry. In this way, he actually killed one thousand enemies and injured himself for eight hundred.
In the central army tent, Tan Lei was so angry that one Buddha was born and the two Buddhas ascended to heaven that he smashed all his treasure tripods and almost roared: "I, Tan Lei, fought a war for a lifetime. I fought with the people of Northern Yan and Turks back then, but this was the first time I fought such a shameful battle.
We surrounded more than 10,000 opponents, but we couldn't capture them for a long time. Even if we didn't use weapons, we just used our mouths and bite them, we would bite these bastards to death! But what about you, you have more people than your opponents. If this is spread, wouldn't it be ridiculed by the world?"
"Prince, this Kuang Liangguo is the most trusted and beloved general under Lu Zheng. This person is famous for being unreasonable in using military forces. All of them are wild ways. It is difficult for us to deal with such a character with conventional tactics. Just like now, we think he will lose, but maybe this person is good at playing this way, and we are in a passive position!"
Tan Lei snorted coldly and said angrily: "That's a stinky fart! I think the fundamental reason is that you are incompetent. You think you are sure to win, but the opponent you face is too strong and you lose your spirit. This way, one goes up and the other goes down, and you suffer a loss. It's really a big laugh!"
"The prince calms down. Those surnamed Kuang will be defeated in this battle! Lu Zheng's cavalry is indeed quite brave. Before, outside Huazhou City, it is said that General Cao was teased by more than 100 scouts cavalry under Lu Zheng! General Cao's tens of thousands of troops did not stop the more than 100 people. After this battle, General Cao felt timid in his heart, which led to the loss of Huazhou City. Otherwise, General Cao would be able to take the initiative to defend according to the prince's wishes. Maybe Huazhou City is safe in our hands now!"
As soon as he said this, the tent was in an uproar, and Tan Lei's face was also very gloomy, because he knew it at this time, but because this matter might hurt morale, he never said it publicly.
Now that I said this in the tent, isn’t everyone aware of the power of Lu Zheng’s cavalry? Tan Lei felt so distressed. He didn’t expect that Lu Zheng’s cavalry was so difficult to deal with.
People in the Central Plains have always said that the Liaodong Iron Cavalry is powerful, but it would be fine to say this to others, but to Tan Lei that is not nonsense? Tan Lei is the origin of the orthodox Liaodong Iron Cavalry. If you want to say that the cavalry is powerful, Tan Lei really doesn't believe that Lu Zheng's foundation in the Southern Palace Army can train cavalry that is comparable to his Liaodong Iron Cavalry!
But now when the two sides fought, Tan Lei knew that it was not the case. Lu Zheng's cavalry was following the path of Northwest cavalry, and the most powerful ones in the Northwest cavalry were naturally the father and son of the Song family. Song Wensong had been in Liaodong for so long, and he thought he had taken out all his skills and loyalty to Lu Zheng?
The most powerful part of the Northwest Iron Cavalry is that the horse is strong and the man is light. If it is a heavy cavalry, the Liaodong and the Northwest Cavalry are not much different. However, if it is a light cavalry, the Northwest Cavalry will be far away from the Liaodong cavalry. Song Naifeng's original cavalry can be said to have experienced a great reshuffle in the Northwest battlefield.
And this is exactly what Tan Lei ignored! The Northwest Army's tactic of running away if they can't win the battle was fully demonstrated at the Masangkou. Kuangzi is a master, but can Tan Lei still retreat now? At this point, even a bowl of raw rice, he has to eat it, and he doesn't care about hurting his teeth.
"No matter how difficult it is, I will give you another day, and I must destroy Kuangliang Country within one day. Otherwise, I will ask you!" Tan Lei roared from the bottom.
It has to be said that Tan Lei's roar was very obvious. On that day, the cavalry under his command went crazy and surrounded Kuang Liang Kingdom from all aspects. This battle became extremely bloody and brutal. The cavalry of Kuang Liang Kingdom suffered heavy casualties, but the two rivers in the Masangkou area became his life-saving straw.
These two rivers divided this large plain into several pieces. The cavalry of Kuangliang Kingdom could cross the river. Whenever they encountered danger, they would go to the water to cross the river. Although there were casualties, they could turn the risk into a barrage, making Tan Lei's offense fail. In this way, this strangulation battle could not have a result.
The longer the time goes on, the more panicked Tan Lei is. As a veteran who has been through the battlefield for a long time, Tan Lei knows very well that Lu Zheng will never sit still and wait for death. Lu Zheng can play many more cards than him. What else does Lu Zheng's main force do at this time?
"Prince, maybe Lu Zheng's army had already arrived near Miaocheng at this time. After all, Cao Weiming did not clear it, so he was asked to plunder near Miaocheng, and Bingzhou might be threatened. In this way, the Liaodong Army's food route was even more unsupported. Without the food route, how to fight the Central Plains?" The strategist saw through Tan Lei's thoughts and immediately came over to comfort him.
Tan Lei nodded and sighed, "I hope this is the case! We must not be entangled by our opponents, otherwise there will be many dangers!"
At the critical moment, Tan Lei’s mind is still to die, fellow Taoist, I will not die, Cao Weiming is over, as long as he can get him the opportunity and time, it is the best!
As long as Lu Zheng failed to successfully go south and failed in Huazhou and Wangzhou, Tan Lei could easily return to his army. Of course, by that time, Hebei would be in his hands.
With the land of Hebei, Tan Lei was sure to unify the Central Plains within a few years, and those who won the Central Plains won the world. Tan Lei is now trapped in the capital and it is not easy to achieve anything, but after he completely took the capital and the entire Central Plains, the situation completely changed!
"Report, report urgently, report to the prince!"
The guard outside the door suddenly rushed in hurriedly, looking at his appearance, panicked and speechless! Tan Lei, who was already in his heart, suddenly jumped into his mouth, and he blurted out: "What's going on? Slowly say, the sky can't fall!"
"Heaven, the sky bed is down! The cunning and treacherous person named Lu actually attacked Wangzhou. The army surrounded Wangzhou City. Wangzhou City broke the city at the moment..."
"What?" Tan Lei took a deep breath. He opened his eyes wide, his eyes almost falling out of his sockets: "How is this possible? We took all the important roads leading to Wangzhou. How did his soldiers pass by? Could it be that they flew over from the world?"
"According to... According to the scout's report! In the past few days, the army besieged Kuang Liangguo. Lu Zheng's army broke through Masangkou at night and did not stop there. He directly attacked Wangzhou, trying to take down Wangzhou and then fight with us. Kuang Liangguo's army... is a trap!"
Tan Lei was stunned immediately, completely cold. How to fight this battle? Once Wangzhou fails, the way to the south will be blocked. The Central Plains Army has no way to retreat south. Then it is between Bingzhou and Wangzhou. The Liaodong Army and the Central Plains Army must be to the death!
Tan Lei felt cold in his heart. He knew very well that the Central Plains Army had a very different gap with the Liaodong Army in terms of its number and combat power. If it was to fight to the decisive battle, the Central Plains Army must choose a favorable opportunity, otherwise this battle would not be fought.
Originally, in the process of fighting wits and courage between the two sides, the Central Plains Army had already gained the lead. As long as the Central Plains Army delayed time, the Liaodong army would have to fail to cut off food and grass. However, the situation on the battlefield often changed rapidly. In extremely unfavorable circumstances, Lu Zheng actually gave a try. The army passed by Masangkou without saving Kuang Liangguo and directly took Wangzhou.
You should know that most of Tan Lei's military rations are in Wangzhou, and Wangzhou is the hub connecting Hebei and the capital to the south. Once Wangzhou is lost, Tan Lei's army will become rootless duckweed. The original strengths of the area will suddenly become a shortcoming. This result can be imagined.
"Is it because God wants to destroy me, Tan Lei?" Tan Lei yelled to the sky.
"Prince, the outcome is not yet decided at this moment. Lu Zheng takes risks. It does not mean that he is absolutely sure. We have many defenders in Wangzhou. At this time, we quickly pounced on us and cooperated internally and externally, and Lu Zheng may not be able to gain much advantage..."
Tan Lei raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but his confidant adviser Qin Xuan said, "Prince, if Wangzhou is lost, our food route will be cut off, and the opponent's food route will be alive. One rises and the other falls, but it is not only a reversal of combat power, but also a psychological reversal! If we lose Wangzhou, the defeat in this battle has been decided, so Wangzhou must not be lost!"
