~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a bloody night, and a burning night.

In this battle, the Liaodong, Wuhuan coalition forces, nearly 4,000 main forces of infantry and cavalry, surrounded and annihilated 2,000 Liaodong troops from Bailang Camp, and completely wiped out the enemy troops, causing nearly 1,000 losses. When victory was in sight, he was attacked by Le Jin, and Yang Jixiao's team raided, sealing the gate and burning the city with just seven people, blocking the only way for the three thousand invaders to escape.

In Liaodong, the Wuwan coalition forces were trapped in the sea of ​​fire, with no way to the sky and no way to the ground. The whole army collapsed, and they rushed to the sea of ​​fire, trampled on each other, and fell into the city. In the end, less than 500 people jumped to the city and escaped... Wang Tong, the chief commander of Wuwan in Liucheng, was also buried in the sea of ​​fire.

Gongsun Mo and Datou led three thousand steps to ride around the corner, and they felt the heat waves rushing and their breathing was not smooth. Thousands of people and horses stood up straight, looking at the Hongluo shining on the sky, and the Naruto danced wildly, all of whom were stunned and their bodies were covered in coldness.

What can they do? Nothing can be done, well, maybe only one can do - hurry up and return to the white wolf water, blow up the sheepskin raft again, run as fast as possible, and escape as far as possible, before dawn.

On March 30, it was light and the horizon was covered with fish belly, with a faint redness, indicating that it was a sunny day.

On the White Wolf Water, Liaodong and Wuwan Allied Forces were sad and scrambled to cross the water in a raft. As the main general, Gongsun Mo and Datou looked so gloomy that they seemed to be able to twist out the water. They ran thousands of miles and fought for the expedition. They tried their best, but they only saw a super-large bonfire, which was not in vain, and even paid a heavy "fuel fee".

What's worse than this is that they had learned afterwards that the enemy who had fought with them for most of the night turned out to be the Youzhou Army!

Although the Youzhou Army was also an enemy, not a friend, they mobilized troops and ran here thousands of miles away. They were not fighting with the Youzhou Army. They were going to fight against the White Wolf Army. But for a whole night, they didn't see a soldier in the White Wolf Army. The real enemy didn't see it at all. They were covered in dust, and they lost their troops and generals. This cowardice and furiousness is so heartbreaking!

Such a crushing defeat was not enough to be Gongsun Mo, who was favored by the Marquis of Liaodong, or the young master of the tribe. The matter was not finished yet, and after returning, what awaited them would be severe sanctions. It would be no exaggeration to say that this battle destroyed the status and reputation of the two.

When the two were feeling depressed, another news came suddenly: the White Wolf Army appeared!

It appeared?! There was no ghost before, but now it appeared! But now the army is crossing the river!

Gongsun Mo and Da's head and eyes were almost bleeding. For a moment, both of them wanted to fight the enemy's life and death hard and happily, but the cruel reality forced the two to bite their arms and endure it. They were not bad, but there were nearly 3,000 soldiers. However, among these 3,000 soldiers, the auxiliary soldiers accounted for nearly half, less than 1,000 cavalry, and more than half of the horses had crossed the White Wolf Water. With the remaining more than a thousand soldiers, the morale of the army was depressed, the morale of the people was disintegrated, and the combat power fell to the trough, how could the troops fight against them? Do they have to fight to the end?

Ren Shi Gongsun Mo and Datou were so angry that they gritted their teeth, but in the end they had to swallow their teeth and blood. Except for the eight hundred steps and cavalry that were broken, the rest of the troops rushed to cross at full speed.

The White Wolf Army did come and came out in full force.

Le Jin led one thousand squadrons and cavalry. Lu Dai led eight hundred squadrons to squeeze out the eight hundred enemy troops from both east and west.

The coalition forces that cut off the rear are behind the White Wolf Water, and the left and right are multiples to oneself, and the momentum is like a rainbow. In a battle with the back, there are usually two situations: either to burn the boats and to mourn the soldiers to win the battle; or to collapse without fighting and fall into the river. The first element of deciding which situation is morale! What the coalition forces lack most now is morale. In ancient battlefields, troops without morale were just delivery of vegetables. To put it nicely, these 800 coalition forces are actually cannon fodder. What determination and will the cannon fodder have to resist?

The ending was destined. The White Wolf Army pressed left and right, and the battle lasted less than half an hour. The coalition army collapsed and all surrendered. The two main generals of the coalition army and hundreds of remaining soldiers took this opportunity to escape the river.

But if you escape the White Wolf Water, will everything really go well?

...

When Le Jin first fought bloody battles with the Youzhou army and then lured the enemy to kill each other, another heavyweight general in Bailang City, Zhao Yun, was leading 800 wolf cavalry to cross the river from the White Wolf Water, avoiding the main force of the coalition forces and storming towards Mashou Mountain Road.

Earlier, Gongsun Mo, Datou, Wang Tong and others mocked Ma Han for not setting up an ambush to block the Mashou Mountain Road, and did not dare to attack halfway. Now everything has appeared. However, the order is reversed, first hitting halfway, and then hitting the Mashou Mountain Road.

The order is different and the strategic significance is completely different. If it is the former, it is to fight step by step, resist strong enemies, and passively respond. And the latter is to beat the dog in the water. When the dog climbs ashore, it closes the door and hits the dog. This is a stance that strives to completely wipe out, and this spirit is completely different!

This plan was not what Le Jin thought of alone. He only proposed a preliminary idea of ​​luring the enemy into fire, broadening the ideas of Zhao Yun and Lu Dai. As a result, the two of them added one word and one word, and combined with Le Jin's improvement, they finally formed a five-chain tactic of "blocking the south and releasing the north - fighting between the snipe and the clams - closing the city - fighting half a cross - closing the door to hit the dog".

At present, Zhao Yun led the eight hundred wolf cavalry to complete the last and most critical link of the chain tactics. The first battle in White Wolf City ended with regretful defeat of the enemy or a beautiful ending with annihilation of the enemy.

To block the Mashou Mountain Road and cut off the enemy's retreat route, a small nail must be removed - the Liaodong Army left a roar of infantry here, with about 400 people, and temporarily built a camp, with the purpose of ensuring the safety of the retreat route.

Gongsun Mo didn't expect that the White Wolf Army would cut off his own retreat. He came in full swing and would not believe that he would end up in such a miserable ending in just one day and one night. He put a song about the infantry here, but it was just a regular military move, which was purely an instinctive action of a relatively experienced general. Unexpectedly, this unintentional act really played a role.

However, in Zhao Yun's eyes, this effect is really limited. Because the wolf cavalry he led is not an ordinary cavalry, but a powerful cavalry that had never been seen before, the strongest cavalry among cavalry!

Heavy cavalry can only be on the stage of history when stirrups and high bridge saddles appear. In the Three Kingdoms era, even heavy armored infantry was scarce, so heavy cavalry was even more impossible. As for Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry that had not yet appeared, historical records are a cavalry that can quickly chase the enemy for hundreds of miles. It is extremely mobile and has good combat power, but it seems to be completely different from the Western heavy cavalry that "enough to knock a big hole into the city wall".

During the Three Kingdoms period, heavy armor was very scarce. During the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was only a thousand heavy armors, while Cao Cao claimed that he "dou armor was less than ten leaders". The lack of heavy armor was not due to the insufficient iron material, but because the process was complicated, the manufacturing, maintenance, and repair costs were too high. Those warlords who only occupied one state or even one county were difficult to afford. Moreover, the cost of a heavy armor soldier was enough to equip two or thirty ordinary soldiers. Should the quality or quantity be required? There is no doubt that many people at that time tended to be the latter.

If Marven had not improved and simplified the armor, he would not have been able to be equipped with infantry, let alone cavalry.

Among the White Wolf Cavalry, there are only 300 heavy armored cavalry - this is already the limit of White Wolf City's financial resources and resources. A qualified heavy armored cavalry must have three major elements: good horses, healthy soldiers, and heavy armor. The first two are not short of White Wolf City, but what is lacking is the resources to create heavy armor. To be precise, it is the lack of fine iron.

There is no mine in western Liaoning. Part of the iron material from Bailang City comes from Liaodong military supplies, and part of it is traded with the Central Plains, such as trade with the Zhen family of Zhongshan and Kongrong, Beihai. Recently, there is another Mi family of Donghai. Unfortunately, the distance is too far, and it takes several months to go back and forth, and the effect is still not visible yet.

Zhao Yun had seen the power of these three hundred heavy cavalry equipped with horses and horses. In the training briefing, he had only one evaluation: this is the most powerful cavalry in the world, and the most powerful in the battlefield.

However, Zhao Yun did not intend to use this "battlefield heavy axe" in a small camp. The target they were going to attack should be the enemy's main remnants.

Eight hundred wolf cavalry, three hundred are heavy cavalry, three hundred are attendant cavalry, and two hundred wolf-fanged flying cavalry. No cavalry can use auxiliary soldiers, only real heavy cavalry must be - not to mention anything else, at least someone needs help when wearing heavy armor, and someone needs to support the war horses, deliver weapons, etc. As for feeding horses, washing, slitting horses, and maintaining weapons and armor on weekdays, special people need to be responsible. Heavy cavalry focuses on combat and is only responsible for combat. In this way, they are real professional knights.

The Wolf-Tooth Flying Cavalry originally had more than 400 cavalry, and Ma Han took away a fraction of it. The remaining four hundred cavalry were divided into two: Wu Zhu led 200 cavalry to help Le advance and defeat the enemy, while Tang Nu led another two hundred cavalry to attack with Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun broke into the enemy camp and landed on these two hundred wolf-fanged flying cavalry.

When the White Wolf Camp's fire surged into the sky and illuminated the radius of more than ten miles, a small camp next to the southern valley entrance of Mashou Mountain Road also lit up a raging fire. One south and one north complemented each other.

In the darkness, two hundred wolf teeth flew cavalry were 150 steps away from the camp, and they were flying like flying horses, galloping back and forth, constantly shooting rockets in the air. In just half a moment, each flew cavalry shot more than twenty arrows.

There seemed to be countless meteors falling above the camp, all pouring on the villages and tents around the camp. One or dozens of rockets may not be in a climate, but thousands of rockets fell like rain, which was simply a realistic version of the magic "Meteor Fire Rain". The entire camp instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire. The figures rushed, screamed and wailed, and the air was filled with a strong stinking smell of skin and flesh.

One hundred and fifty steps is the maximum range of the three-stone pulley bow. This range cannot break through armor or hurt people, but it is just right for setting fire.

Zhao Yun led 600 armored cavalry and attendant cavalry, leaning against Malis, each of them had two balls of fire. At this moment, they had only one common voice: "You shouldn't come here." (To be continued) r655
