Chapter 1087 Reinforcements are coming

Wang Qi quickly ordered Gong Zun and Liu Mao to retreat and carry their cavalry into a regiment first. Previous combat experience has proved that only by embracing an army into a regiment will the probability of preserving on the battlefield will be higher.

The reason why he used roundabout encirclement to deal with the Knight Camp was that Wang Qi relied on the large number of people and had an advantage in military strength over the Knight Camp, so he dared to carry out the encirclement battle with confidence and boldness.

But now the situation suddenly changed. It is very likely that the reinforcements of the Bingzhou Army have been killed. Now Wang Qi can't handle even a Bingzhou Army. If another group of people is killed at this moment, he will be unable to handle it at all.

But Wang Qi's order was issued a little late. Before the messenger arrived, Gong Zun and Liu Mao received the order, Yueqi Camp and Tunqi Camp had already appeared. They rushed all the way and finally arrived at the battlefield before noon.

Yueqi Camp and Tunqi Camp arrived almost at the same time. Under normal circumstances, the marching speed of the Yueqi Camp was faster than the Tunqi Camp. However, in order to achieve the goal of two cavalry reaching simultaneously, Deng Ai asked the Yueqi Camp to suppress the speed slightly to ensure that these two cavalry could fight against the enemy at the same time and cut off the retreat of the Youzhou Army.

This battle was carefully planned by Cao Liang. Either they didn't fight, or they had to fight a beautiful annihilation battle, which could destroy the main force of the Youzhou cavalry in one fell swoop, and they had no chance to turn around.

In order to achieve this goal, Cao Liang made proper arrangements for several cavalry of the Bingzhou Army, and the Xiaoqi Camp acted as bait, while the Yueqi Camp and the Tunqi Camp carried out roundabout encirclement.

Logically speaking, 30,000 people ate 30,000 people, Sun Wu did not have the courage, but Cao Liang had this appetite, which was based on his own cavalry strength and entangled the 30,000 cavalry in Youzhou. The light cavalry alone was enough, and the more terrifying archers and heavy cavalry could even crush the Youzhou army.

Cao Liang naturally has sufficient confidence in this battle. Unless the Youzhou army retreats in Jixian City and does not come out, once the war begins, all the results will be within Cao Liang's expectations.

So far, the Xiaoqi Camp has completed their mission excellently and dragged the Youzhou Army tightly. Because Wang Qi was eager to achieve success, he implemented a three-sided siege against the Xiaoqi Camp. Although this kind of attack is more effective, when facing the counterattack of the Bingzhou Army, his defense is much weaker and he is easily defeated by the Bingzhou Army.

The Yueqi Camp and the Tunqi Camp were extremely fierce and fast, which completely overturned people's perception of cavalry. Even the Tunqi Camp, covered with iron armor, accelerated its speed at the last sprint, and rushed towards the Youzhou Army with lightning speed.

From hearing the muffled thunder to launching a raid, the whole process was very short. Before many Youzhou soldiers could come to their senses, the Bingzhou cavalry had already rushed over.

Logically speaking, when the Youzhou Army was fighting, there must be patrols on the periphery. If there is an emergency, it will be reported to Wang Qi, Gong Zun and Liu Mao.

However, the Bingzhou Army was coming too fast. When the patrols distributed on the periphery found that there was an enemy attack, they also wanted to convey the news to the main general. However, during the process of returning to the horse, they sadly discovered that his speed was not as fast as the Bingzhou Army. You must know that the horses riding at these patrols were the fastest horses in the army, but during the return, they were caught up and swallowed by the cavalry wave of the Bingzhou Army. Therefore, until the Bingzhou Army appeared in sight, Wang Qi and others did not receive a report from the patrol.

The arrival of Yueqi Camp and Tunqi Camp caused the battlefield situation to change suddenly. It was originally in a situation of even power, but it was reversed in an instant.

Before the archers arrived, arrows arrived first, and the scattered arrows were the pioneers. The high-speed horses made the arrows' range longer, faster and stronger. The arrows could easily penetrate the armor of the Youzhou Army. Even if they were wearing the thickest and most sturdy plate armor, they could not resist such lightning-fast arrows.

The archers attacked the troops led by Gong Zun. Before the two sides could fight, Gong Zun's men fell down a large area. The lethality of the archers was simply horrifying.

Gong Zun, a man who is good at riding and shooting, has never seen him. After all, his own riding and shooting level is relatively high, but Gong Zun also knows that among cavalry, there are only a few people who can ride and shoot at the same time. Most ordinary cavalrymen do not have the ability to ride and shoot. Therefore, most of the cavalry of Youzhou Army are not equipped with bows and arrows. Even if they are equipped with bows and arrows, they are mostly decorations. Only when they are dismounted or when the horse is stationary can they shoot arrows. Such archers are basically useless.

But the Bingzhou Army that suddenly came was all archers and cavalrymen. Almost everyone could ride and shoot. Their shooting skills were so exquisite that they were no less than those of archery and shooters like Gong Zun.

Such dense rain of arrows is indeed quite terrifying. The cavalry itself is not a strong defense. They often rely on the advantages of speed and mobility to win. If they can dodge the shooting of enemy archers, and if they have strong mobility, they can move forward and retreat freely, and if they can't beat them, they can run.

But facing the archers and cavalry, Gong Zun felt a weak sense of powerlessness, and he would definitely not be able to beat him. The Youzhou cavalry did not have the ability to archery and shoot. The few cavalry archers could not pose a threat to the Bingzhou army at all, but if they ran, they could not run because the speed of the Yueqi camp was faster than theirs.

Under the powerful attack of the Yueqi Battalion, Gong Zun's cavalry team was almost in a state of collapse. They had no idea how to resist the Yueqi Battalion's attack, even if some people wanted to organize a counterattack and tried to fight the Yueqi Battalion in close combat.

This may be the idea of ​​some people. Since long-distance combat is not enough, then try melee combat. No matter how powerful the archer is, it will not be as powerful as melee combat, right?

But their counterattack seemed to be futile, because the Vietnamese cavalry did not give them a chance to get close at all. In long-range attacks, the Vietnamese cavalry used a long bow with a long range and strong penetration. During short-range attacks, they used a crossbow, fired continuously, and had a wider coverage area.

Once the Youzhou soldiers' counterattack reaches the range of the crossbow, they will be hit by more intense arrows. The death fan formed by the crossbow strangles any Youzhou soldiers who are trying to get closer. The closer the distance, the faster they die. Seeing that the Youzhou soldiers who are trying to fight back are gone like moths to the fire, the other Youzhou soldiers immediately gave up the idea of ​​counterattack, and it is more important to escape.
