Chapter 215: The Battle of Suiyang [Two in One](1/2)
"Boom"
"Boom"
Just when the battle against Suiyang entered its most intense stage, Lord Guling Xiong Wu faintly felt that the ground beneath his feet seemed to be shaking.
"What's going on...what is that?!"
He subconsciously turned his head to the west, and then his eyes widened.
What did he see?
He saw tens of thousands of cavalry!
No, this alone is not enough to describe the number of this cavalry, it is simply like a tide.
Closer, closer.
In just a few blinks of an eye, the appearance of the cavalry wave coming from a distance like mercury pouring down the ground gradually became clear. I saw that these cavalrymen were generally wearing sheepskin jackets and no armor, and their movements did not look like those from the Central Plains.
The cavalryman held the reins in his left hand, while his right hand holding the weapon was raised high in the air, drawing circles, and shouting unintelligible words such as "Wuhu" and "Yaya".
"Jie tribe cavalry!" Guling Lord Xiong Wu spat out a word like gritting his teeth.
It has to be said that he hates the Jie cavalry as much as he hates the Wei state, because the Jie cavalry is an accomplice of the Wei state, and together with the Wei state's wandering cavalry, they raided his fiefdom of Gulingyi.
, not only took away all the money in the feudal city, but also the local people, and took them all back to Shangshui City, leaving only a devastated ruin for Guling Lord Xiong Wu.
However, this was not the time to think about this. Guling Lord Xiong Wu reacted quickly, pointed to the west in a panic, and shouted: "Ji Qiu, send someone quickly to stop them!"
At this time, General Ji Qiu had already noticed the uninvited guests from the west, and immediately ordered the generals on the left to stop the cavalry.
Of course, Ji Qiu did not expect Yu Bo to be able to block those Jie cavalry. After all, there were so many of them that he felt a chill on his back.
At the moment, he only hopes that Yu Bo can hold on for a while, so that he can withdraw the main force of the general in time, at least the main army under his command.
As for recruiting soldiers, Ji Qiu didn't consider them at all.
After making these arrangements, Ji Qiu immediately said to Guling Lord Xiong Wu: "Your Majesty, please retreat immediately."
Gulingjun Xiong Wu turned his head to look at Suiyang County, which was just around the corner, and then at the Jie tribe cavalry coming in like a tide from the west. He clutched his riding whip tightly in his right hand and was very angry.
"Damn those sinister barbarians!"
He cursed these Jiejiao cavalry in his heart, because if there were not these uninvited guests, he might be able to capture Suiyang County today, but the arrival of these Jiejiao cavalry made him not only achieve nothing, but even have to
Pay the price of excessive loss of troops.
But it must be said that Guling Lord Xiong Wu is indeed a contender who is still struggling to seize Xiong Tuo's throne. He took a deep breath and decisively ordered: "Leave all the food and soldiers behind, and all the regular troops."
Withdraw to Guling immediately!"
It must be admitted that Guling Lord Xiong Wu was still decisive, but unfortunately, even so, he still underestimated the breakthrough ability of the Jiejiao Cavalry.
No, just as the regular army of the Chinese army was slowly retreating backwards, the left wing of the Chu army was pierced by the Jiejiao cavalry in the blink of an eye.
I saw those ferocious Jiejiao cavalry, charging into the Chu army's formation with a ferocious smile, as if a strong wind was blowing by, splashing a trace of blood, and taking away the life of a Chu soldier.
"I can't stop it... I can't stop it at all!"
General Bo, the general on the left wing of the Chu army, looked horrified.
Although he received Ji Qiu's general order and actively defended, hoping to block these foreign cavalry, the facts proved that his Chu soldiers, whether they were regular troops or grain recruits, were simply useless in front of the Jiejiao cavalry who were good at combining attacks.
Like a lamb waiting to be fed, there is no threat at all.
"General, be careful!"
Not far away, several guards shouted loudly.
Yu Bo turned his head subconsciously, and soon discovered that a group of Jiejiao cavalry had broken through the defense of the Chu army in front of him. The leader of the cavalry was waving the sword in his hand and coming straight towards him.
"Damn! Who do you think I am?!"
Noticing that he seemed to be prey in the other person's eyes, Yu Bo was furious, drew out the sword from his waist, and fought hard to meet him with his weapon.
There was just a "clang" sound, and the weapons in the hands of Yu Bo and the Jiejiao cavalry collided violently. After sparks were aroused, they were bounced away by the reaction force.
While Yu Bo only swayed slightly, the Jiejiao cavalry shook violently and then deviated from its original route. He and his horse rushed into the Chu army in the distance. Although several Chu soldiers were killed,
But he was also thrown to the ground by the war horse, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
It has to be said that as a general of the Chu army's 3,000 men, Yu Bo's strength was far superior to that of the Jiejiao cavalry.
But for Yu Bo, the crisis has not been resolved, because at this time, when the leading Jiejiao cavalry roared past, the second Jiejiao cavalry behind him had already waved his sword towards Yu Bo, which was simply not enough for Yu Bo.
Give me no time to breathe.
"clang!"
Another hard fight, the Jiejiao cavalryman who passed by Yu Bo in an instant subconsciously hugged the horse's neck tightly while looking back at Yu Bo, with a bit of respect in his eyes, and a bit of fear.
The rules are like looking at dead things.
"clang!"
"clang!"
"clang!"
In just a dozen breaths, one Jiejiao cavalry passed by Chu Yubo one after another, each wielding powerful chops. Yu Bo was tired of dealing with it and only felt a numbness in his arms.
Gradually, he felt that his right hand became weak and weak, and his entire right arm was sore. At this moment of trance, he suddenly dropped the weapon in his hand.
When he came to his senses and subconsciously clenched his right hand, it was empty.
"not good!"
Yu Bo screamed in his heart that something was wrong. He didn't even have time to turn his horse around and run away. When he raised his head, he saw an oncoming Jiejiao cavalry, with a ferocious look on his face, slashing with the sword in his hand.
his body.
"puff"
Blood burst out, and a head rose into the sky, then fell to the ground. Gululu rolled a few times.
At this time, on this head, one can still see the helpless, dazed, and miserable state of Chu Yubo before his death.
This is the combined attack of the Jiejiao Cavalry.
In the face of this combined attack technique, no matter how powerful a general is, as long as he is held back by the Jiejiao cavalry, he will eventually be killed due to exhaustion.
On the other hand, if you want to contain light cavalry such as the Jijiao Cavalry, the first thing you have to do is to curb the speed of the cavalry, that is, you cannot let the cavalry break through unscrupulously. This is why the heavy infantry restrains the cavalry.
But unfortunately, the soldiers of the Chu army did not have the ability to withstand the Jiejiao cavalry. At the beginning, the Chu army's left wing was broken into a sieve by the Jiejiao cavalry. Soon, three thousand people waiting for Yu Bo died in the battle.
After that, the left wing became a complete mess. Whether it was the regular army or the army soldiers, facing the fierce Jiejiao cavalry, the first thing they thought of was to escape.
This caused the Chu army's left wing to completely collapse in just one stick of incense.
And what followed was a massacre.
"..."
On the city tower in Suiyang County, Captain Shi Xin, Marquis of Shangliang Zhao Anding and others stood on the city tower and watched the scene outside the city.
"Is that the Jiejiao Cavalry from Sanchuan?"
Zhao Anding, Marquis of Shangliang, murmured.
He could not imagine that the Chu army that had brought endless fear to him in Suiyang County in the past few days was now like fish on the chopping board in front of those Jiejiao cavalry.
On the contrary, Captain Shi Xin, who was born in the Yuma Cavalry, was no stranger to the strength of the Jiejiao Cavalry. After all, the Jiejiao Cavalry and the Yuma Army had fought side by side and knew each other quite well.
"With this number... I'm afraid the Jiejiao Army will move in full force. They should be reinforcements sent by His Majesty to support our Song County."
Having said this, he turned to Liang Hou Zhao Anding and said: "Your Majesty, I leave the city defense to you. I will lead the cavalry in the city to fight to help the Jiejiao Army."
After hearing this, Zhao Anding, the Marquis of Shangliang, said in surprise: "Captain Shi is going to fight?" He glanced at the Jiejiao cavalry sweeping past like a wave outside the city, and advised: "The Jiejiao army is large in number, and there are many
We successfully attacked the Chu army and it shouldn't be difficult to repel the enemy. Captain Shi has been fighting hard for several days and has achieved great results. Why don't we just take a break?"
After hearing this, Shi Xin laughed and said: "Although that is the case, how can it be that I, Suiyang, are afraid of friendly forces coming to help?" After a pause, he said again: "After all, this belongs to me, Suiyang!"
That's what he said, but in Shi Xin's heart, he just didn't want to be looked down upon by the Jiejiao Cavalry, especially for him who still considered himself to be a member of Shang Shui Yuma.
Seeing how heroic Shi Xin was, Zhao Anding, the Marquis of Shangliang, thought for a while, nodded and said: "In that case, I will accompany Captain Shi to fight together!"
Compared with Shi Xin, the thoughts of Zhao Anding, the Marquis of Shangliang, were not so simple. He was just trying to gain credit.
Although he was very tired at the moment, when he thought that if he defended Suiyang, His Majesty in Luoyang would definitely be seriously injured, he seemed to be full of strength again.
"How can those Jiejiao cavalry take away the credit?"
After looking at each other, Shi Xin and Shangliang Marquis Zhao Anding immediately led their troops out of Suiyang and launched a two-sided attack on the Chu army.
"General Governor, the Wei people from Suiyang City have come out."
Noticing the unusual movement in Suiyang County, the Jiejiao cavalry immediately reported the matter to Governor Bosile.
After hearing this, Bosile glanced in the direction of Suiyang, and sure enough he saw a Wei army charging out of the city. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
After all, he had personally watched the Chu army attack Suiyang County for more than two days. He did not expect that after the fierce siege battle, the Wei soldiers in the city still had the energy, or in other words, the morale to launch a counterattack.
"...Is it because you are the master of this place? Or is it because you want to gain credit?"
Bosile snorted lightly and said calmly: "Ignore them and continue to pursue the Chu army! ... By the way, who is the leader of the Chu army?"
"It seems to be Xiong Wu, Lord Guling of Chu State." Zuo Zuo replied.
Bosile nodded and ordered: "Send the order to all captains of ten thousand men to behead the Guling Lord Xiong Wu!"
"yes!"
