Chapter 812 Battle of Anfu Temple (2)
After feeding the horse a few handfuls of beans, he then took a linen cloth to wipe the sweat stains on the horse's body, and let the horse ate the grass on the ground freely.
Unload the felt blanket from the horse's back, spread it on the ground, sit cross-legged on it, then open the luggage, take out the jerky, and chew it slowly.
The jerky is air-dried and very hard, but it can provide enough energy. Some soldiers also milk the horse directly. There are many mares in the team. This is specially selected to provide enough food to supplement the trip.
Meat and milk can restore a tired soldier's energy to a very short time.
Such long-distance raids are just commonplace for Linghu Yong and the more than a thousand cavalry under his command. This kind of thing is too common when he is outside the pass. But I was a little uncomfortable with the two thousand cavalry who followed them.
But Linghu Yong was the leader, and no one could say anything, so he could only try to keep up with Linghu Yong and others.
Chang Lei sent Kou Wenhai to lead tens of thousands of infantrymen to march towards Danyang in a sturdy manner, and he led more than 10,000 carefully selected cavalry to advance rapidly towards the southwest, hoping to join Na Weili and external forces to defeat Jiang Qian's main force in Liyang County.
As soon as Jiang Qian collapses, Chu will naturally fall into Chang Lei's hands.
Linghu Yong volunteered to be the pioneer.
The scout sent to contact Na Wei had already set off. Linghu Yong was gnawing the jerky while counting the time and the day after tomorrow, he could reach the outside of Liyang County. He suddenly attacked Qingpu, which occupied the outside of Liyang County in one fell swoop, and seized a foothold for the army to arrive later.
"The whole army will have two hours of rest!" After gnawing the jerky in his hand, Linghu Yong and Yi lay on the carpet.
It's just nightfall, two hours later, and it's only three o'clock in the morning. Linghu Yong hopes to reach his destination as fast as possible.
Such a surprise attack will be more effective as soon as possible.
No matter how secretive the actions are, they may be leaked due to various accidents. Only by shortening this process as much as possible can we ensure the final result of the battle to the greatest extent.
Linghu Yong fell asleep as he fell asleep.
Amid the dense bushes in the distance, several bright eyes looked at the temporary camp through the bushes.
The three thousand cavalry are not three thousand infantrymen, and the momentum is already quite large. The war horses that sniff and occasionally neigh the sound of each other have made the scouts discolored.
"Let's go!" a captain in the lead whispered, and several subordinates bowed and quickly followed the captain to the rear.
He crawled into a forest. On a big tree in the forest, a person was tied up on the tree with a large bunch of thatch stuffed in his mouth, and his head was hanging down and his life and death were unknown.
They were scouts sent by Zhu Zhe, and they were really lucky. They met this guy unexpectedly halfway. After a fierce battle, they captured this guy alive.
After falling into the hands of these scouts, they couldn't help but talk about courage and integrity. Death early and entrusting life early is the only thought of the loser. Soon these scouts realized that Linghu Yong's army was very close to this.
In horror, he sent someone back to report the news and went to close to reconnaissance, hoping to get more detailed information.
The combined soldiers and cavalry under Zhu Zhe were only 3,000. If he encountered three thousand cavalrymen halfway, the outcome would be self-evident.
"Take this dog thing back!" The captain wiped the cold sweat from his face, and drove the prisoners to the horses. Several people rode the horses and walked back.
When several people rushed back to the Anfu Temple station, it had become a large construction site, with thousands of people frantically cutting down trees, making fences, digging trenches, erecting arrow towers, and a defensive position surrounding the temple was gradually taking shape. Using a team dominated by infantry to challenge thousands of cavalry in field battles is something that only the guys who are filled with water will do.
When both sides encountered such a situation, the infantry could not escape even if they ran away. The only chance was to form a formation to defend the enemy and look forward to reinforcements.
"It's Linghu Yong!" After interrogating the prisoners brought back again, Zhu Zhe's heart beat wildly, and it took him a long time to return to normal.
We have never had any dealings outside the pass before. When we heard that the other party's core troops were actually from Linghuye's guard regiment, Zhu Zhe knew that this battle was really difficult to fight.
When it was dawn, Anfu Temple and its surrounding areas had completely changed.
The dense forests around were originally cut down, and the flat ground was dug into pits. The cut branches were piled together, and some grease was even poured on them. However, the main trunk has now become a fence and an arrow tower. The seemingly messy trenches are all in the east and west, but there are secrets. Some are full of traps, some are hidden in them, some are soldiers, some are dead ends, and some are connected to each other.
Thousands of people work hard for a night, but only one goal is to minimize the enemy's advantage as much as possible, forcing you to fight against what we are good at with what we are good at. Then we have a three-point advantage.
This position will make the cavalry unable to play. If the horses rush within three steps, they will encounter an obstacle. If they want to defeat the opponent, they must dismount.
Linghu Yong was indeed brave enough and decisive enough. After discovering the enemy's garrison in Anfu Temple, he immediately issued an order to attack without any hesitation.
The complex defensive positions did not make him feel embarrassed. The soldiers of the 500 Guards Battalion dismounted, put on armor and held shields, and immediately changed from cavalry to vanguards in attacking difficulties.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
When they set up a horse, they were cavalry, and when they were dismounted, they were brave soldiers. These people were similar to Li Daechui's Tianzi Camp, but at that time Li Daechui only raised 300 people, while Linghuye raised a full 5,000. Among them, the worst-level is the level of the fourth grade of Yuqi. They were wearing heavy armor, as long as they were not hit by a powerful crossbow, and ordinary feather arrows shot on them would be considered tickling.
The task of these people is to open the way.
When they encountered mountains and rivers, they built bridges. All the traps on their way forward were cracked one by one, which really allowed these 500 people to drive straight in and pave the way. As soon as the cavalry behind them surged up, they would lose the battle.
After seeing these people rush into the last trench defense line, Zhu Zhe pulled out his knife and said with a grim smile: "Go!"
These trenches in the curve are prepared for these people.
The trench in the narrow window can only allow one person to move forward. As long as the road ahead is blocked, you can only kill the blocker to continue moving forward, or if you are killed, the later generations can cross you and continue attacking.
The guards of the Linghu tribe are naturally not afraid of one-on-one battle, but when it comes to problems, these trenches are not straightforward, and there are extremely many alleys inside. Once you go wrong, you may step into the Hall of Hell with one foot.
When he walked into the dead end, the grease was poured down in his head, and the rocket shot to ignite the grease. Those who were covered in armor had no way to avoid it and were directly roasted to death by being stuffed in the iron armor.
Sometimes when you step on the air, you will fall into a puddle of more than meter deep. If you want to jump up, you will be buried alive in the water.
Sometimes the foot of the alley is very solid, but as you walk, there will be many long spears piercing in the walls of the normal tunnel. Heavy armor can prevent the knife and shoot arrows, but there are really few ways to sting the spear. Often, although these elite iron armored soldiers can kill several attackers in a row, their final outcome is that they are stabbed into sieve by the spear.
From the beginning, the battle directly entered the most tragic Dui stage.
Zhu Zhe knew the other party very well, and his targeted deployment was extremely effective. It only took an hour to start the war, which made Linghu Yong feel extremely distressed.
