Chapter 1050 Xu Rong Attacks
Xu Rong is good at waiting. He has been waiting since now, waiting for the best opportunity to take action.
He only left a small number of soldiers to defend around the farm, in order not to let the enemies outside see through his plans so early, and all the remaining soldiers gathered here, and only with his order would launch an attack.
He is not anxious. Although the battlefield changes rapidly, he must not be anxious. If he is anxious, it will be messy and he will make many decisions that he should not have. Waiting is not about doing nothing, but just looking for a suitable opportunity to capture the fleeting fighter's attack with a fatal blow.
Xu Rong heard the shouts from afar, heard the voices of people, heard the sound of the earthen wall falling, and also heard the news from his soldiers.
"General, the enemy has broken through the earth wall and is heading inside." A soldier rode his horse to Xu Rong's annual review and spoke.
Although he is at the center of the farm, Xu Rong has a complete understanding of the situation around the farm. No matter what kind of changes occur, he cannot escape his ears and ears. He sent soldiers who specialize in transmitting, and waited on horseback where he could observe the situation in a place. Once the latest news comes, the soldiers will gallop, passing on the changes to inform him and make him prepare.
Everything around him was under Xu Rong's control.
From the beginning, he did not intend to defend the countryside, and there was no need to defend the countryside. The countryside had lost its function and could give up, but before giving up, he needed to give up a fatal blow to those secret enemies.
Otherwise, if you really want to defend, Xu Rong would be confident that he could keep the defense of Tianzhuang without missing a trace. But that was useless. After a fight, even if you defend Tianzhuang, there would be all kinds of troubles, and it was not worth doing this.
The time has come.
The situation was better than Xu Rong thought. His waiting was actually waiting for an opportunity to charge the cavalry. This opportunity could not appear too early or too late. Only just right can the cavalry play the greatest effect and maximize combat power.
If you rush too early, the horsepower will not be able to remain in full state, which will also allow the enemy to deal with it more.
If you rush too late, the enemy will get too close, and your horsepower will not reach its peak state.
Only when the time is not fast or slow, the time is just right, that is the time when the cavalry is strong and the time that the cavalry needs the most!
There is also a location, the plain is the best terrain for cavalry, and horses can burst out at the fastest speed on the plain.
Luoyang City is located in a plain terrain, and it is also a plain around Luoyang, which is a unique terrain for the cavalry. If there is no fortress to stand against the impact of the cavalry, then most of the troops will be gnawed by the cavalry on the plain.
After leaving the farm, there are many ditches in the interlaced fields, but this will not be an obstacle. Not all of them are fields. Those roads are the best roads for cavalry, and Xu Rong already knows where the enemy at the main gate is.
The position he chose was the main gate, a large enough main gate, so that the cavalry could launch a smooth charge without any sluggishness. Otherwise, at the back gate, or when the enemy broke into the farm, the cavalry would have no effect and would be limited by the narrow space.
What Xu Rong wanted was a hearty victory, not an arduous battle. Not all of his command were cavalry, but most of them were infantry, but cavalry was the most important, and the top priority in his plan.
First use cavalry to break through the enemy formation, divide them, and then cover the infantry, and then cover it up. Then there will be a natural killing.
What he was waiting for was the opportunity for the enemy to pass through the gate! The soldiers who stayed there were also creating this opportunity so that the cavalry could charge from the inside out when the enemy passed through the gate.
But now it's not necessary, because the time has come. The time is the collapsed courtyard wall. For the cavalry, it is a flat land. This is much better than the road connecting the inside and outside the gate. At least, there will be no obstacles when the cavalry charges, and can move straight forward.
"All the troops obey orders and follow me to kill the enemy!" Xu Rong gave the order and rode his horse towards the gate.
Behind him were hundreds of cavalrymen and a large group of infantrymen with two or three hundred more than the cavalry. However, Xu Rong controlled the speed, and the soldiers behind him also controlled the speed of moving forward according to his speed. There was no such action of directly rushing towards the gate to face the enemy.
This distance is not enough. Xu Rong must be closer and closer. In this way, he can kill as many enemies as possible, so that the enemy does not have much time to respond to it. Otherwise, the cavalry will charge at the beginning, and when he reaches the enemy, his power will be exhausted, and the sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground will also expose his own existence in advance.
As for whether the soldiers he kept at the gate could defend against the enemy's attack, Xu Rong knew it was OK, but it was not possible now. When the earth wall of the farm had collapsed, they would have no effect on defending the gate and should retreat independently.
The order he issued was not to defend himself, but to let the guards at the main gate decide according to the situation. After an irreversible accident occurs, he would retreat into the farm. He would minimize the damage to the soldiers as much as possible, and to lure the enemy, kill two birds with one stone.
It's closer. The avenue in the middle of the farm is facing the main entrance. By the time Xu Rong is now, it is more than 100 meters away. This distance is exactly the distance Xu Rong wants, which can allow the cavalry to accumulate the fastest speed and make the enemy unable to escape!
As soon as the cavalry's war horses ran, how could a person's legs be able to run? Moreover, if you are caught off guard, you may not be able to run a few steps, and you can only become trampled meat paste or a dead soul under a gun.
He exhaled gently, and Xu Rong's spear went straight forward. He shouted: "Car with me!" He rode his horse out first, let go of the speed of the horse under his seat, and rode his horse to the fullest.
Behind him, hundreds of cavalry were lined up in unison, and as Xu Rong's order fell into their ears, they immediately rushed out. Behind the cavalry, the trained infantry also ran quickly and followed closely behind the cavalry.
The speed at the beginning was almost the same, but the cavalry gradually opened the distance, but the distance from the infantry was not to the point of completely throwing away. In other words, once the cavalry broke through the enemy formation, the subsequent infantry would completely tear the enemy formation.
