Chapter 2239 can't be cowardly

Although Tao Huang had never fought head-on with the cavalry, he was familiar with military books and knew some ways for infantry to deal with cavalry, such as forming spears, using chariots, countering bows and arrows.

Therefore, Tao Huang did not feel afraid of the Wei cavalry coming, and he had already made preparations in advance to fight with the Wei army in Qingmu Mountain and Qiniuling.

And he had applied for reinforcements from Tao Ji. As long as Tao Ji sent some more troops to come, Tao Huang had a great hope of defending Jieyang.

Wen Qin is a veteran, and he is at ease in grasping the rhythm of the battle. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Wen Qin deliberately let Yang Hu's main force temporarily move forward, and the Cavalry Camp also advances to the Jieyang area in a careless manner, without any rush.

However, this is just an illusion, to confuse Tao Huang. In fact, Wen Qin had secretly sent several troops to secretly encircle the Wu army's rear wing.

The greatest ability of the Knight Camp is mobility. Wen Qin has always served in the Knight Camp, from the original lieutenant to the Knight General. Although he was later promoted to deputy governor, the Knight Camp was always under his jurisdiction, so no one knows and is more familiar with the Knight Camp than him. Wen Qin commanded the Knight Camp, which was so easy to use.

The frontal assault ability of the Xiaoqi Camp may not be as good as the Tunqi Camp, and the long-range attack ability is not as good as the Yueqi Camp, but the Xiaoqi Camp has an advantage that other cavalry camps do not have, that is, their powerful roundabout maneuver combat capabilities.

The speed of the Knight Camp is incomparable to any army, but based on its speed advantage alone, it seems that it is not applicable in some occasions. When pursuing the enemy, it is effective, but if you want to fight a positional battle, the advantage of speed may not be reflected.

However, the Knights' Camp never use a barbaric attack and rushing style when fighting. Although the cavalry on high-speed marching has a strong impact force and can destroy any enemy's defense line, the Knights' Camp will also bear more casualties.

Therefore, Wen Qin has always directed the cavalry camp to fight, and often maneuvered to the enemy's side and rear wings. When attacking, he used multiple strikes to make the enemy unable to defend.

Tao Huang concentrated most of his troops to Qiniuling, which was the only way to Jieyang, so Tao Huang had to defend heavily. The position of Qingmu Mountain was on the flank of Qiniuling. In order to prevent the Wei army from going around Jieyang from here, Tao Huang also distributed some of his troops to garrison him.

However, Tao Huang had no choice but to take care of the roads farther away. Hilly areas are often crisscrossing and complicated. Tao Huang could not be able to cover everything. If he had to divide his troops to guard all the intersections, his army would become fragmented and unable to form combat power.

Therefore, Tao Huang could only choose to defend on the main road, and for other paths, he had to send some patrol patrols to spy on them.

Wen Qin seized this opportunity and sent several groups of troops to circumvent the Wu army, and implemented a tactical siege on the Wu army at a lightning speed.

Afterwards, Wen Qin immediately launched an attack. If the cavalry camp did not move, it would be like thunder. Originally, they were still dozens of miles away from Qiniuling, but after the attack order was issued, the cavalry camp moved like a wind. In a moment, they rushed to the bottom of Qiniuling.

Tao Huang had heard that the Wei army was still dozens of miles away and was calmly adjusting its deployment, but suddenly he found that the Wei army had already reached the bottom of his nose. He saw with his own eyes the scene of thunder and thousands of troops and horses like bursting waves. His eyes suddenly became straight, like a basin of cold water, pouring him a heart-warming feeling.

The biggest battle Tao Huang had participated in before was the riots that wiped out thousands of people. In his opinion, it was already a big scene.

But compared with the scene in front of you, it is simply a pediatrician. The Wei army participated in the attack, at least ten thousand cavalrymen. The scene of ten thousand horses galloping was so spectacular. Tao Huang looked down from a high place, and the Wei cavalry came from all over the mountains, with flags like clouds and iron hooves rumbled.

When did Tao Huang and his Wu soldiers see such a majestic scene? The cavalry in their eyes had never been so scattered. Now that tens of thousands of cavalry are coming, the dust just rolled up is already covering the sky and the sun. This momentum alone has already scared the Wu soldiers.

Tao Huang suddenly realized that he had made a huge mistake, that is, he lacked the estimate of the enemy's strength and was a little blindly confident in his own strength. He had never fought with established cavalry and had no experience in this area at all.

As for the methods of restraining cavalry mentioned in the military books, can they really work?

Tao Huang was deeply suspicious at this moment.

The oppression brought by the Knight Camp at this moment was unprecedented. Tao Huang even felt like he couldn't breathe, and he felt that his back was chilly.

Tao Huang's throat was dry and he swallowed with difficulty. He understood that this was not the time for him to be afraid. If he retreated at this moment, it would be a disaster. Therefore, even if he was afraid at this moment, he had to bite the bullet and push up and not admit defeat.

Facing the Wei cavalry that was coming like a wave, Tao Huang could only line up to greet him. He had already prepared this battle formation. The vanguards were all spearmen, densely packed with guns, behind them, behind the archers, with arrows, and arrows on their backs, waiting for the battle.

The formation of long spears is the most effective method to deal with cavalry, which is clearly written in the military book. Moreover, when Tao Huang chose a defensive formation, he deliberately chose a relatively steep hill. At this time, the Wu army could be condescending. Even if the Wei cavalry attacked for a strong attack, they had to rush up the hill first.

Although such a slope is not enough to make the Wei cavalry abandon their horses and walk on foot, it is a back attack after all, and the difficulty is quite large for the Wei army.

But Tao Huang looked at the Wu army's formation and couldn't compare with the Wei army in terms of momentum. Not only did he feel unsure, but the entire Wu army also looked panicked, with all his face as if they were earthy. Some soldiers were even shaking, and their hands holding spears were trembling, and the tip of the gun was trembling.

If only one or two people are afraid, that's not a problem, but the key is that more than half of the soldiers are trembling, and the gun array seems to be bamboo in the wind, floating around.

With Wu Bing's state, it was really hard to defeat the Wei army. Tao Huang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He cheered up his morale loudly and prepared to fight the Wei army to a desperate battle.
