Chapter 884 Three Thousand Cavalry vs Thirty Thousand Infantry

(0884)

【Today's second update is delivered!】

"Sir, the Lion Rider Camp has been assembled! Please give me instructions!"

"Sir, the Bear Riding Camp has been assembled! Please give me instructions!"

Half an hour later, Zhang Zhun came to the military camp. The Lion Cavalry Camp and the Xiong Cavalry Camp were both ready for battle and could set off at any time. Li Zhaohui and Xie Zhiyou both came up to report in a serious way.

After taking over Luoyang City, the morale of the Hu Ben Army was very high. I heard that they were going to deal with Yang Sichang, and everyone was ready to destroy the dynasty. Even the newly established Diaoqi Camp and Eagle Cavalry Camp could not help but rob. Unfortunately, the task given to them was mainly to guard the safety of Luoyang City.

"Target! Longmen Pass!"

"Set off!"

Zhang Zhun waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice.

The south gate of Luoyang opened quickly, and three thousand cavalry swept out of the city.

...

"What?"

"Have the Hu Ben Army left the city?"

"They came to Longmen Pass?"

Yang Sichang felt quite surprised when he received the news of the attack from the Hu Ben Army.

He originally thought that the Huguang army was oppressing Luoyang, and Zhang Zhun's reaction must have been to defend the city, and he might even give up Luoyang and retreat along the water or land. Unexpectedly, he actually tried to attack and actually launched an active attack on himself.

This damn Zhang Zhun is really a bit special! No wonder he has been making things difficult for the past few years. However, when he left the city, it happened to be what Yang Sichang hoped. Without the cover of Luoyang Jiancheng, it depends on how arrogant your Zhang Zhun's troops can be! If you don't use the Jiancheng, you will run out to die by yourself. It's really a way out!

"How many people are there in the Hu Ben Army?"

Yang Sichang asked calmly.

"About three thousand people."

The scout captain replied.

"Three thousand people..."

Yang Sichang pondered to himself.

Zhang Zhun had only three thousand cavalry, so he dared to challenge the 30,000 Huguang Army. He really had the courage. At the same time, it also made Yang Sichang feel a silent insult, as if Zhang Zhun was deliberately bullying him. Three thousand cavalry, so he dared to challenge the 3,000 Huguang Army. This obviously did not take him seriously Yang Sichang seriously! Could it be that my Yang Sichang's courage is not as good as you? Impossible!

Originally, Yang Sichang wanted to garrison at Longmen Pass and rely on Longmen Pass's strong defense to block the attack of the Hu Ben Army. However, after hearing that the Hu Ben Army had only 3,000 troops, Yang Sichang changed his mind. He decided to take the initiative to attack and compete with the Hu Ben Army in the field outside. It was a horse or a mule, so pull it out!

Yang Sichang decided to show his might in this battle. He wanted all officials in the court, both big and small, to see that Yang Sichang was definitely not because of Emperor Chongzhen's appreciation. Yang Sichang has real skills. No one of you can let Zhang Zhun suffer a loss. I, Yang Sichang, will break such a curse!

"bring it on!"

"Look at who is so good!"

Yang Sichang was furious and filled with fighting spirit.

The death of King Fu seemed to give him infinite power. He was determined to defeat Zhang Zhun in one fell swoop and reverse the situation in the Central Plains at this most difficult time. As long as he killed this guy Zhang Zhun, even if ten Kings of King Fu died, he could still join the cabinet.

"The whole army attacked!"

"Strike back!"

Yang Sichang shouted fiercely.

He decided to lead the 30,000 main forces of the Huguang Army, all leaving Longmen Pass, and fighting with the Huben Army cavalry in the open field ten miles away from Longmen Pass. He ordered the Huben Army to attack with full armed forces, set up a formation, and wait for the arrival of the Huben Army cavalry. Three thousand cavalry dared to attack the 30,000 main forces of the Huben Army? You regret it!

Under Yang Sichang's supervision, the Huguang army came out of Longmen Pass and marched forward in Luoyang. Since Yang Sichang took over the Huguang army, he has indeed spent a lot of effort to rectify the army. He paid great attention to the appearance of the army and required that the entire army must always wear strong and hold their sharp legs and not relax.

After being rectified by Yang Sichang, the appearance of the Huguang Army was indeed completely renewed. Thanks to the strong support of Emperor Chongzhen and Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, the equipment of the Huguang Army was also quite excellent, with all the waist-length armors, all the bird guns, and dozens of cannons. The quality of all the weapons was among the top among the official army.

The only weakness of the Huguang Army at this moment is the cavalry unit. At this time, Zu Kuan, who was originally under the command of the Huguang Army, had already returned to the Liaodong Army. The current Huguang Army cavalry were all trained by Lu Xiangsheng back then, with less than a thousand people.

However, even without the help of the Liaodong cavalry, Yang Sichang was confident that it would be easy to deal with the 3,000 cavalry of the Hu Ben Army with his main force of 30,000 infantry. Ten times the strength of the troops is to the enemy! There are such excellent firearms!

"Da da da da!"

"Da da da da!"

"Da da da da!"

Soon, from the north of the Huguang Army, the sound of horse hooves came.

After a while, a large number of Hu Ben cavalry appeared. These Hu Ben cavalry were all wearing grass-green uniforms and without any armor, and looked very light. The field in early winter was already very desolate, and at first glance, there was only a piece of gray and yellow. The appearance of Hu Ben cavalry was a vibrant grass-green, which formed a considerable contrast with the gray and yellow color in the background.

"It's Zhang Zhun!"

"Zhang Zhun is here in person!"

Soon, an officer from the Huguang Army recognized Zhang Zhun's appearance.

Although they had never seen Zhang Zhun with their own eyes, the portraits of Zhang Zhun were spread throughout all the middle-level and above officers of the official army after the Hu Ben Army conquered Luoyang. Every officer of the official army was very familiar with Zhang Zhun's portrait as long as he was a little motivated or a little vigilant. There was no way. If the official army did not focus on research on such a cruel guy, he would probably suffer a great loss again.

In fact, Zhang Zhun was indeed in the cavalry ranks of the Hu Ben Army. From now on, he no longer had the need to hide his identity. He would openly raise his own banner and compete with the court and anyone else for the world. The new battle with the court began with Yang Sichang in front of him.

"Array!"

"preparation!"

The front-line officer of the Huguang Army immediately yelled.

Zhang Zhun personally brought the Hu Ben Army cavalry to the scene, which invisibly brought great pressure to the senior management of the Huguang Army. In the past few years, there have been too many legends about Zhang Zhun. Since Zhang Zhun is so awesome, his ability must be quite strong. If they don’t wake up the spirit of twelve minutes, they will probably be tragic.

Only Yang Sichang was not afraid of Zhang Zhun's arrival. Yes, not only did he not have the slightest fear, but he felt that his heart was constantly boiling. In his opinion, Zhang Zhun's arrival was not a danger, but an opportunity. Zhang Zhun's arrival was to give him a chance to defeat the other party.

At present, Zhang Zhun's reputation is as high as the sky and as arrogant as the sky and as arrogant as the sky and as the sky and as the sky and as the sky and as the sky and as the sky and as the sky and as the sky and as the sky and as the sky and as the sky and as the sky and as the sky and as the sky and as the sky and as the sky and as the sky is, he can proudly announce in front of other colleagues that Zhang Zhun is not his opponent of Yang Sichang, it is only a matter of time before the tiger army is put down.

"bring it on!"

Yang Sichang secretly encouraged himself.

The infantry of the Huguang Army who attacked had already formed a team. They arranged into a square formation for decisive battles, preparing to fight with the Huben Army cavalry. Around the square formation were sharp spears. These spears were more than five meters long and thicker in diameter than the wrists of adults. They could pierce all the cavalry that rushed up to the ground. If the Huben Army cavalry rushed up like this, what was waiting for them would be the result of the annihilation of the entire army.

Unfortunately, the Hu Ben Army cavalry were not fools. They began to slow down their speed about three hundred meters away from the official army. By the time they were 200 meters, they had already walked slowly forward. Then, they dispersed to the left and right again, and the originally neat formation became very messy. Looking at it from a distance, it seemed completely different.

"Damn it!"

When Yang Sichang saw it behind, he couldn't help but whisper a curse.

What is Zhang Zhun doing? Should he confront the government troops at a long distance? Or should he prepare to play hide-and-seek with the government troops? Originally, he wanted to order artillery and use the Folang machine cannon to teach the Hu Ben cavalry a lesson. The effect of grape bullets against the cavalry is quite good. However, judging from the current situation, it seems unlikely.

Because the Hu Ben cavalry team was very scattered and had a long distance between them. Even if you use grape bullets to attack, it would probably have no effect. Yang Sichang could see Zhang Zhun's figure, which was within the range of the Folang machine cannon. However, if you want to directly hit Zhang Zhun, Yang Sichang himself did not have such an idea.

"Yang Sichang was so confused that he was actually lined up outside the pass to fight with us! Didn't he know that in such an empty field, infantry and cavalry can only be beaten? I really don't understand, and I don't even know the most basic tactical principles. How did he be appointed as the supervisor? How could Emperor Chongzhen trust him?"

Wang Shide couldn't help but whisper.

"It's not that he doesn't understand, he doesn't take us seriously. He has 30,000 people, and we only have 3,000 people. He has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. He also has artillery and a spear platoon, and he feels that we can't hit his phalanx at all. This guy is so proud!"

Zhang Zhun held up the Qianli Mile Mile and said calmly.

Zhang Zhun was really welcome to Yang Sichang's approach. This was really a sleepy time, someone sent a pillow! He originally thought that he had to attack Longmen Pass to teach Yang Sichang a lesson, but unexpectedly, Yang Sichang sent his butt up. OK! Since Yang Sichang cooperated so much, the Hu Ben Army would be welcome!

"Li Zhaohui!"

"Thank you!"

"***War!"

Zhang Zhun issued an order quickly.

Li Zhaohui and Xie Zhiyou immediately agreed to go.
