"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1097
The wolf cavalry army led by King Youxian occupied Qingshen County, Anshan Prefecture, but King Youxian was not happy at all.
After all, this unremarkable small county not only caused him to lose thousands of wolf cavalry warriors, but also damaged Batu, the brave captain of ten thousand cavalry.
The original purpose of the Northern Army led by King Youxian this time was to attract the attention of the Qinghe Army and provide cover for the Eastern Army.
But now that he has suffered such a big loss for no reason, he naturally has no way to swallow this breath.
If he did not lead the army to deal a severe blow to the Qinghe Army and win a few battles, it would not be able to boost the morale of the army.
"Chasing, I'm going to chop up those Far Eastern offal and feed it to the dogs!"
After occupying Qingshen County, King Youxian, who was simmering with anger in his heart, immediately gave the order to pursue.
A large group of wolf cavalry marched south along the road. Although the people in the villages and towns along the way had evacuated, the houses were still there.
The wolf cavalry couldn't grab the food and fodder, so they vented their anger on the houses in these villages and towns, and set fire to these places.
"The wolf riders have already headed south towards the capital of Ansan Prefecture, and all the villages and towns along the way have been burned to the ground."
The scout rangers of the Qinghe Army have been paying attention to the movements of the wolf cavalry, so the situation of the wolf cavalry has been continuously reported to the regiment commanders and Chen Ziang.
"These damn wolf riders, this debt will be repaid sooner or later!"
Hearing that a large number of villages and towns were burned to ashes by wolf cavalry, Liu Yidao, the head of the First Army, was also very angry.
"Where is the vanguard of the wolf cavalry now?"
"According to their speed, they will be able to reach the Liuhe area at noon."
Army head Liu Yidao ordered: "Let Zhang Bao teach them a hard lesson."
"No!"
The messengers rode away quickly, and in the Liuhe area, Zhang Bao, the deputy head of the army, was leading a flag regiment to hide here.
Not long after Kong Liang's troops retreated from Qingshen County, smoke and dust filled the sky in the distance.
"Master Deputy Legion, Master Legion has an order to teach the wolf rider a good lesson." The messenger quickly found Zhang Bao, the deputy commander of the hidden army, and delivered the order.
"knew."
Zhang Bao stared at the billowing smoke in the distance, and spat out the weed with a piece of grass in his mouth.
There are only a few thousand wolf cavalry behind Kong Liang, who is clinging to the retreat, and Zhang Bao, the deputy head of the army, has already set up an ambush here.
What they were implementing was Chen Ziang's strategy of luring the enemy deep, but trying to lure the enemy without being noticed by the enemy was an extremely test of skill.
If it is a direct and active retreat, the enemy is bound to suspect their motives and raise their vigilance.
However, if they block the enemy layer by layer and use various means to attack the enemy, they will unknowingly arouse the hatred of the enemy in order to achieve the purpose of luring the enemy to go deep.
The persistence of Kong Liang's troops in Qingshen County dealt heavy blows to the wolf cavalry, and also angered the wolf cavalry.
Now the wolf cavalry chased up and wanted revenge, but Zhang Bao and the others wanted to set up an ambush to further kill the wolf cavalry.
Thousands of wolf cavalry rode their horses and galloped, and the flag was looming in the billowing smoke.
Although the wolf cavalry is a cavalry unit, pursuit is different from normal marching after all.
In order to save the physical strength of the horses, they usually march at a certain speed when marching, and at the same time, the other horse is transferred when fighting.
Therefore, a large group of wolf cavalry cannot keep marching at a high speed, because the horses can't bear it.
It is for this reason that King Youxian led a large group of wolf cavalry to advance at a normal marching speed, while the thousands of wolf cavalry in front were chasing without hesitation, trying to bite the retreating Qinghe army Kong Liang. department.
It's just that what they didn't know was that before they could catch up with Kong Liang's men, they plunged into the ambush circle of Zhang Bao's men.
Zhang Bao and the others have been hiding and ambush here for several days, sleeping in the open and waiting for the arrival of the wolf riders.
The wolf cavalry finally came after looking forward to the autumn waters. They were naturally very excited, and they couldn't wait to pounce on each other and tear each other to pieces.
"Fire the arrow!"
Seeing the wolf cavalry entering the encirclement, Zhang Bao coldly shouted at the buglers beside him.
The trumpeter immediately sounded the war drum, and the thump, thud, thud, sound of the war drum suddenly? Spreading in all directions.
The archers of the Qinghe Army who were in ambush heard the sound of the horn and shot arrows at the wolf cavalry without hesitation.
Long-range weapons such as hard bows, bed crossbows, octagonal ox crossbows, and arrow cabinets were shot one after another, and the arrows were like locusts for a while.
"Puff puff puff!"
The arrow pierced through the body of a wolf cavalry, bringing up a large cloud of blood mist. For a while, the wolf cavalry team turned on their backs, screaming continuously.
All units of the Qinghe Army are equipped with a large number of archers, because these archers are not just simple archers.
Because the lightweight crossbow machine can be carried on the body at any time, and it can be used directly when in use.
Once the crossbow arrows are fired, they can draw out their sabers and pounce on them for hand-to-hand combat.
According to the idea of ??Chen Ziang, the commander of the Qinghe Army, every infantry soldier will be equipped with a light hand crossbow in the future, that is, every soldier can become an archer.
If it was the past, archers and sword and shield soldiers were completely separated. Archers would lose their arms after shooting more than a dozen arrows, and naturally they would not be able to fight in close combat.
However, the light hand crossbow does not need to consume a lot of physical strength, and the hand crossbow is easy to use. The general archer needs more than half a year of training to be lethal, but the hand crossbow only needs a few days of study to fully master it.
Although the hand crossbows are not fully equipped to become individual combat weapons for each unit, there is still a considerable proportion.
Therefore, the arrow density of Zhang Bao's first round of strikes was also unprecedented, causing huge casualties to the unsuspecting wolf cavalry.
"superior!"
After the first wave of arrows that were as dense as locusts struck, Zhang Bao led the infantry and rushed forward with shouts.
These infantrymen of the Qinghe Army walked like flying one by one, and surrounded the wolf cavalry who had suffered heavy casualties from all directions.
The wolf cavalry who encountered an ambush suffered heavy losses, and their eyes were also red when they saw the soldiers of the Qinghe army rushing up around them.
"Kill them all!"
Under normal circumstances, faced with this situation, the wolf cavalry should retreat proactively.
But they were too proud. After suffering a dark loss, they thought about counterattack and revenge instead of retreat.
These wolf cavalry were also fierce. Although there were soldiers of the Qinghe Army rushing forward in all directions, they did not panic. On the contrary, the blood stimulated their fierceness in their bones.
The surviving wolf cavalry gathered around their hundred and thousand cavalry commanders, mobilized their horses, and tried to disperse the Qinghe army.
The Qinghe army is naturally aware of the wolf cavalry's fierce cavalry and shooting capabilities, so the idea at the beginning was to stick them in close combat to weaken the wolf cavalry's advantage.
