"Start up! Go ahead at full speed!"
Ten thousand light cavalry of Xu Jun had already sped into the mountains of Beidijun. Night had already fallen. With the help of the last ray of light, Xu Jun was galloping like a flying horse. The flying horse's iron hooves were knocking between the mountains quickly, stepping on pieces of dead leaves and dust.
However, Wei Wensheng was still dissatisfied with the army's marching speed. He moved along the way, and the cavalry had just run halfway, and was about fifty miles away from Zheli City.
On the low slope next to the mountain road, Wei Wensheng sat on his horse, frowned.
In order to enter Zheli City first, Xu Jun had already left 40,000 infantrymen. If he could not enter Zheli City first, then only one thousand light cavalry arrived tiredly and would likely be counterattacked by Chen Jun.
"Start up! Don't be stingy with horsepower and take the fastest speed. As long as Chen Jun enters Zheli City one step ahead of him, it doesn't matter if all ten thousand war horses run to death. In any case, today, you must arrive Zheli City first than Chen Jun. Even if you run and use crawling, you have to climb into Zheli City first!"
After receiving the order to die, Xu Jun's cavalry kicked and hit the horse's belly hard, increasing its speed a lot.
The cavalry of the vanguard rode his horse and ran through the mountain road between the ridges in a blink of an eye. The horses suddenly opened up ahead and the war horses had stepped into the shallow water plain at the junction of Anding County to the west of Beidi County. The shallow water plain is a very flat and wide plain, located at the intersection of the upper reaches of the Jing River and its tributary Nishui River. The Nishui River flows into the Jing River and eventually flows to Chang'an, Guanzhong. At this intersection, the huge plain is the shallow water plain plain formed by two rivers.
Entering the Sharishuiyuan, it is less than half the distance from the Sharishuiyuan. As long as you pass the Changwu City on the west bank of the Sharishuiyuan, it is the Sharishuiyuan. Then there is the northwest gateway Xiaoguan.
However, the Xu Army's Forehand Pathfinder cavalry, who had just stepped onto this plain, had already screamed in shrill screams.
"Chen Army! Chen Army Cavalry!"
I saw countless fires suddenly jumping out from the mountains in the northeast corner corresponding to Xu Junyao on the flat shallow water plain. Like a huge fire dragon, suddenly rushing out from among the mountains.
This sudden encounter scared the vanguards of the Xu army and the two armies.
Xu's army rushed from Chang'an, entered Beidi County from the southeast direction of the northeast direction, and went straight to Xiaoguan in the northwest direction. Chen's army rushed from Yan'an County and entered Beidi from the northeast direction of the northeast direction. The purpose was also the Xiaoguan in the northwest direction.
One comes from the southeast and the other goes from the northeast.
Almost indefinitely, Chen Jun and Xu Jun's cavalry encountered Akumiwara halfway through the outpost of Xiaoguan, Zhelien City.
After confirming the result of this encounter, Wei Wensheng and Chen Jie issued an order to attack immediately almost at the same time. They met in the field. And under the night sky, and the entire army marched all the way, the soldiers of the war horses almost reached their physical strength limits.
At this time, the only option is to take advantage of the last morale to attack. At such a critical moment, no one can stand it. No one can back and avoid it.
"For the Empire!" Chen Jie pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist and roared.
"For the Empire!" Countless Chen army cavalry responded with a loud bang.
"kill!"
Two thousand Chen cavalry and more than ten thousand cavalrymen met unexpectedly in Qianshuiwon. A war broke out immediately.
There was no calm formation, nor was there any rest. The two armies were like two tigers in the mountains and forests. Once they met, they would never stop.
The horse's hooves were thunderous, and the neat queues were pressing towards Xu Jun like a black wall!
No one would have thought that this encounter would occur in advance, and the brave would win when they meet on a narrow road!
Wei Wensheng was not afraid of the crowd with a small number of people. Chen Jie believed that most of the Xu army's main infantry had not arrived, and Chen cavalry was twice as strong as Xu army, and he was even more confident. What's more, Chen army had more than the number of advantages, but also the Chen army's always advantage in winning weapons and equipment.
"For the Empire!"
The two armies approached quickly. After a burst of roar, the Chen army cavalry was still dozens of steps away from the Xu army's cavalry, and they were already running the first round of attacks.
Thousands of arrows were fired at once! The Xu cavalry in the front row fell to the ground and struggled, screaming.
The Xu army cavalry in the charge did not guard against Chen's crossbow. After the Chen army launched the first round of attacks, Xu army suffered a great loss. The Xu army was inadequately prepared for the cavalry in front, and it was a night battle. Although it was a battle with the moonlight, Xu army almost used human life to fill this wave of arrow rain.
"Raising the shield!"
Wei Wensheng held a cavalry round shield in one hand and an exquisite horse lance in the other, and led the central cavalry to rush up quickly.
"Shoot the arrow!" On the battlefield, the Chen army's cavalry kept ringing the call of the commanders. Relying on the advantage of the crossbow, the Chen army's cavalry immediately launched a second wave of arrow rain without any pause.
One man and two seven-shot crossbows. In an instant, the cavalry with rich battle formations had already knocked on the knife before colliding with the Xu army's cavalry and shot all fourteen arrows out.
The two cavalrymen were approaching quickly, and the cavalry in front of both sides had even seen the roar and crazy fighting spirit on each other's faces under the moonlight!
"Switch to the cavalry and rifle!" The moment before the fiercest collision came, the messengers and cavalry officers in the Chen army shouted again.
With a "brush", the former cavalry who was running rapidly removed their crossbow and pulled up their cavalry. The simple and neat movements showed that this was an elite cavalry.
Chen Jun's horse speed did not decrease at all. The cavalry began to lower their bodies and handed forward their long cavalry and spears neatly.
The cavalry behind were divided into the central army formation, the left wing formation, the right wing formation, and the rear formation. Just like the big roc spreading its wings, the two left and right cavalry of Chen's army had quickly spread out on the plain, just like the huge wings of the big roc. The cavalry of the central army and the rear army were still firing arrows, constantly increasing the casualties of Xu's army.
The two armies are getting closer and closer, fifty steps, thirty steps, twenty steps, ten steps...
"Bang!" In an instant, two iron streams collided fiercely, the earth shook, and the intense sound of fighting was also stagnant.
With the huge impact force, the two cavalry collided at high speed. The cavalry in front of the two armies fell down in an instant. The cavalry and spears of both sides penetrated through space and time with a whistling strong wind at almost the same time, broke through their respective armors, and penetrated deep into each other's bodies.
Almost at the same time, the unfallen cavalry had already released the spears and cavalry pierced out of their hands at the first time, and drew out their respective scimitars and sabers as fast as possible. The long swords swung over them, and quickly harvested the bodies with a cold light.
The riding spear broke, the knight fell, and the war horse fell to the ground!
The troops behind the two armies had been fully pressed, and the two soldiers on Asaguchihara immediately started to fight.
The Chen army cavalry commanded by Chen Jie had an absolute numerical advantage over the Xu army, and the Chen army cavalry was more than two levels better than the Xu army in terms of equipment. In particular, most of the Chen army cavalry came from outside the pass and Hebei and Henan, where people were strong. In particular, half of the 20,000 cavalry this time were elite reinforcement battalions with the emperor's imperial camp number. Although most of these battalions with the honor of supreme combat were drawn from more than half of them to form and join the northern defense line, the remaining old troops, together with the rural substitutes who were later recruited, were still strong in combat.
Under the leadership of experienced veterans and low-ranking officers with non-commissioned officers, Chen's cavalry almost adopted the classic three-cavalry team tactics. He mainly used an experienced veteran officer, led two members to join the cavalry, and launched a three-person attack and killing technique to quickly harvest Xu Jun's life.
Xu Jun's fighting will is also very strong, but unfortunately the number of people and equipment is too different, especially since it was a night battle at this time, Chen Qi, who had strong protection, had too much advantage compared with Xu Jun, who had poor protection. If Xu Jun's 40,000 infantry were here, the situation might be another result.
Compared with the Chen cavalry, Xu Jun was only a second-tier army that had been hiding in Guanzhong for the past few years. Xu Jun, who had only fought a few battles in the past few years, was even more difficult to resist the well-trained and tacit battle against the Chen army's melee, which tested cooperation and courage. Although Wei Wen was promoted to a famous general and had good command, the famous general could not completely resist these gaps. Xu Jun could only fight on their own. In less than an hour, the 10,000 cavalry of Xu Jun had gradually lost their support under the sharp attack of Chen army's geese wing formation and began to retreat.
Under the moonlight, Chen Jie gasped with a heavy breath, wiped away the blood stains on his face with his cloak, and let out a clear roar: "Don't chase the enemy! Don't pay attention to them, immediately collect the troops and quickly clean the battlefield, and then continue to march towards Zheliu City."
Although Wei Wensheng was defeated, he was not defeated. Although Xu's army retreated in a embarrassing manner, he still had the power to fight. Especially when Xu's army had 40,000 infantry coming towards the battlefield, following the mountains at this time would undoubtedly be a stupid thing to chase into the mountains. Once Wei Wensheng was dragged in the mountains, when the Xu army's infantry arrived, Chen's army would be the one who would be finished.
Less than an hour later, Chen Jun had hurriedly cleaned the battlefield, brought the wounded troops with him, crossed the Jingshui River, and advanced towards the northwest Zheli City, and finally disappeared into the vast night.
Although Wei Wensheng was unwilling to accept it, he also understood that before the arrival of the main infantry force, Xu Jun had already lost the first battle between Xu Jun and Chen Jun reinforcements.
The generals of Chen's army were neither greedy for merit nor bloodthirsty. Once they achieved their strategic goals, they immediately withdrew their troops. Chen Jie's performance made Wei Wensheng unable to get any loopholes. Looking at the plain where only a large area of Xu Jun's corpse was left on the shallow water, Wei Wensheng sighed in his heart.
Chen Jun got this reinforcement, but I was afraid that Xiao Guan would find it difficult to retake it...)
