Chapter 772 Di Qiang is fierce(1/2)
"A cavalry attacked our 400,000 army!"
"Madman, madman!"
Zhang Dao was originally planning to engage in a fierce tug-of-war with Xie Ai and flooded the enemy with a sea of people tactics, but the Di cavalry on the opposite side couldn't wait to launch an attack.
15,000 Di cavalry were separated from Xie Ai's army and rushed straight to the 400,000 peasant army on the opposite side!
The peasant army on the opposite side is everywhere, with the backs of Longshan Mountain. The number of troops is desperate.
However, facing the endless peasant army, three fierce generals on the opposite side took the initiative to lead the cavalry to charge!
If there were high-level heavy infantry on the opposite side, they might not dare to be so arrogant, but there was a peasant army on the opposite side. These Di cavalry despised the peasant army that lacked armor and rushed immediately without saying a word!
The Di cavalry first trotted, then charged with all their might, and the war horses galloped, raising sand and dust!
"Li Zicheng, stop them!"
Li Zicheng received Zhang Dao's order and immediately led the cavalry out to intercept the Di cavalry.
Li Zicheng is still the number one general under Zhang Dao.
The peasant army obtained tens of thousands of war horses from Xiliang, Li Zicheng led 20,000 cavalry, and behind them were 30,000 infantry.
"Zhang Liang, lead 5,000 cavalry and 70,000 infantry to support Li Zicheng!"
Zhang Dao's advantage is the human sea tactics, so when 15,000 Di cavalry attacked, Zhang Dao directly used 125,000 infantry and cavalry to attack him!
The 125,000 infantry and cavalry were like black waves, flooding the Di cavalry!
"Zhang Bao, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Yang Ren, commanded their own troops."
Zhang Dao ordered the troops of each battalion to prepare for the war, but Xie Ai had tens of thousands of troops on the other side.
The 15,000 Di cavalry did not avoid it and directly crashed into Li Zicheng's infantry and cavalry. The galloping war horses trampled on the infantry and knocked the infantry one or two rows of infantry in the front away!
Deng Qiang's spear was stabbed out and rushed into the army of 100,000. The oncoming peasant army was killed by him!
Deputy General Xu Cheng followed behind Deng Qiang and shared the pressure of Deng Qiang. Wherever he went, the private camps of King Chuang had to separate.
"Can't stop!"
Ten thousand enemies Zhang Hao and Deng Qiang fought together, and he knew that the cavalry could only move forward.
The cavalry galloping on the flat ground can defeat ten times the infantry, while the cavalry that stopped may not even defeat a single infantry.
Three powerful generals, 15,000 Di cavalry rushed into Li Zicheng's 125,000 army, like sharp blades splitting the waves, and in one charge, thousands of infantry were killed!
When Li Zicheng's cavalry arrived, he was dispersed by the fierce Di cavalry. Li Zicheng looked around and the Di cavalry was unstoppable!
"How can the impact of this cavalry be so powerful..."
Li Zicheng discovered that the Di cavalry easily defeated his cavalry and his scalp was numb.
Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao and Xu Cheng joined forces to lead the way, using them as sharp blades to tear the breakthrough!
"Kill him!"
Deng Qiang, who had fallen into madness, attacked Li Zicheng under his command!
The war horse galloped, Deng Qiang held a spear in his hand and killed the cavalry around Li Zicheng, breaking through to Li Zicheng!
Li Zicheng blocked the shield with his shield, Deng Qiang pierced the shield with a spear, almost crossing Li Zicheng's facade, and almost killed Li Zicheng!
With just stabbing a spear, Li Zicheng knew that he was not Deng Qiang's opponent.
The cavalry around Li Zicheng came one after another to support Li Zicheng. There were hundreds of low-level cavalry killed by Deng Qiang, and they fell under Li Zicheng's war horse!
"You go up and kill them. Once they die, the morale of these Di cavalry will decline!"
Li Zicheng saw some problems.
The Di cavalry rushed around the 125,000 army, not only because of the force of the three powerful generals Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao and Xu Cheng, but also their bonuses to the cavalry and the fear effects they brought.
Li Zicheng couldn't help but feel frightened when he thought of the scene of being rushed to the battlefield by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei when he fought with Liu Bei's army. At that time, he was raided by Guan Yu's five hundred swords and axemen and was injured by Guan Yu. The current scene was almost the same as at that time.
He ordered the army to come forward, trying to use the human sea tactics to kill the three powerful generals, and he retreated backwards.
The Di cavalry still rushed around, crushing tens of thousands of peasant soldiers and infantry, as if they were entering a no-man!
"how so……"
Zhang Dao stood at a high place to watch the battle and found that Li Zicheng's army was attacked by the Di cavalry for four times, and his morale dropped from 84 to 45, and was about to collapse.
"The Di people established the Former Qin, and there seemed to be a few powerful generals in the Former Qin."
Zhang Dao thought about the names of the two powerful generals of the Former Qin Dynasty, Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao, the two enemies of thousands, appeared in Zhang Dao's mind.
Both of these men are powerful generals who dare to attack the enemy formation alone.
Their cavalry has extremely strong stamina.
"Let the rebels enter a state of fanaticism!"
Zhang Dao had to work with Zhang Jiao and others to exert their characteristics.
"The sky is dead, Huang Tian should stand!"
"Why would you rather have a king, prince, general, and minister!"
The commander of the peasant army leader is not worth a high command. The 400,000 army requires several peasant army leaders to provide bonuses at the same time to cover it!
The 400,000 army entered a state of fanaticism, and the morale of the peasant army, which was attacked by the Di cavalry, was temporarily restored!
The peasant army's sea tactics were effective again, and a 400,000 army surrounded Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao, Xu Cheng and their cavalry!
The charge speed of the Di cavalry was affected and gradually slowed down. Looking around, there were soldiers from the Breaking Kings and Yellow Turban Army everywhere. They waved their swords and spears, and roared and thundered in the mountains and seas!
15,000 Di cavalrymen, thousands of people were killed!
"The Iron Cavalry of Xiliang, Huangzhong Yicheng Hu, defeated the peasant army. Even if Zhang Jiao has any magic tricks at this time, the two armies will not be able to win!"
Xie Ai sent the Western Liang Iron Cavalry and the Huangzhong Yiconghu to attack the peasant army!
Two cavalry broke into the crazy peasant army, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides!
The iron cavalry was scattered, and the fanatical peasant army waved their weapons, and the largest war in Xiliang broke out in Jieting!
After the two sides become melee, they can only look at the elite level and morale of the soldiers on both sides!
The heavy rain in Qishan made the Western Liang Iron Cavalry unable to play the advantages of the Iron Cavalry. Now, the Western Liang Iron Cavalry can trample on the fanatical peasant army head-on. The condescending Xiliang cavalry used a spear to lift the weak Yellow Turban soldiers, and the galloping horses knocked the Yellow Turban soldiers away!
The fanatical Yellow Turban soldiers rushed forward and tried to block the Western Liang Iron Cavalry with their flesh and blood.
The Yellow Turban Strongman fell into madness, and his body size soared, and he used an iron hammer to kill the Western Liang Iron Cavalry!
Only the Yellow Turban Strongman is of the same level as the Western Liang Iron Cavalry.
The Yellow Turban Strongman in the fanatical state can even beat the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, and the iron hammer is enough to cause the Western Liang cavalry or war horse to break the bones.
But the number of Yellow Turban Strongmen is far from that of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. Xie Ai's Xiliang Iron Cavalry had thousands of cavalry, while the Yellow Turban Strongmen had less than a thousand!
The Qiang people in Yiconghu, led by Yao Yizhong and the Qiang generals of Yao Xiang, attacked Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's peasant army. The Qiang cavalry was strong in combat. The Qiang people represented by Yiconghu in Huangzhong were the Qiang people represented by Yiconghu in Huangzhong.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's infantry were assaulted and lost tens of thousands!
"Our army is in a state of fanaticism and can block the 80,000 elite troops on the other side, but after the fanaticism state, our army will be defeated. Arrange various armies to retreat to Shangqi City!"
Zhang Dao found that his 400,000 army could not compete with Xie Ai's 80,000 elite troops. If it were only Xie Ai himself, Zhang Dao would not be afraid, but Xie Ai's power with the help of the Qiang and Di people had exceeded Zhang Dao's prediction.
The peasant army in a fanatic state can temporarily increase the morale of more than 40 to 80 or even 90, but the fanatic state can only last for a period of time. When the fanatic state ends, the morale will drop to a lower level than before. Maybe there is only a morale of 20 or 30. At that time, the peasant army will flee in panic.
The leader of the peasant army is different from Wu Qi, a general who can maintain the morale of the legion. The peasant army they commanded will flee and rebel if their morale drops to a certain extent.
Zhang Dao was worried that he would be wiped out, so he set out to retreat.
He has lost this battle.
The peasant army died under the attack of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, Qiang Cavalry and Di Cavalry, as many as 70,000 people!
Jieting bleeds thousands of miles away!
Li Zicheng was responsible for cutting off the rear and staying at Jieting. In order to block Xie Ai, who was defeated, Xie Ai immediately attacked Jieting, Deng Qiang, Xu Cheng and Zhang Hao as the first general to capture Jieting. Li Zicheng suffered another defeat and lost another 20,000 peasant army in Jieting.
"If they really think they are powerful generals, only Lu Bu and Yang Dayan can defeat them. If they just ask for high-ranking officials and generous salaries, then their courage is completely acceptable."
Xie Ai knew that Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao and others were called enemies of thousands of people, and they were indeed brave and were second only to the top group of powerful generals, and they were not far apart.
"It is a foregone conclusion that you have made great contributions and recovered Xiliang. I will submit to the court to ask for merit for you. If nothing unexpected happens, we will repel Zhang Dao, and we will go to Mangshan to participate in the war. I need to rely on the courage of Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao and others. On the other side of Mangshan, the Qin King is under great pressure, and King Xia has arrived Mangshan."
Xie Ai wanted to make full use of the Qiang people, and Di people worked for themselves.
Using the Qiang and Di people can not only consume the Xia army, but also consume the youth and strength of the Qiang and Di people, reducing the threat of their future rebellion.
"The King of Xia is here in person?"
The leader of the Di people, Fu Jian, had long heard of Daming. In the reckless Di tribe, Fu Jian had a gentle personality and a calm manner.
"Zhang Dao just bought time for King Xia and delayed our troops. He did do it, but that's all."
Xie Ai looked towards Mangshan.
Zhang Dao retreated to Shangji City and began to organize troops to withdraw back to Hanzhong.
The 400,000 peasant army lost 90,000 in the Battle of Jieting, and retreated to flee for 40,000. The remaining peasant army was depressed and could not fight again.
