Chapter 093 Advance into Yanzhou, first encounter Hedong soldiers and horses
The war broke out from Henan to Shandong. Zhu Wen and Li Keyong pursued troops from the vassal states, and passed through Yun, Cao, Pu and other military prefectures, and successively killed and annihilated several groups of anti-military troops.
As Li Tianqu thought that if he wanted to strengthen his power in the future, it would be very likely that Zhu Xuan, the governor of the Tianping Army, who was in charge of these prefectures, would not take long to plan to confront him, chose to watch coldly, allowing Huang Chao to rebel, pursue the troops of the vassal states, and Li Tianqu, the inconspicuous cavalry, to rush past the territory under his jurisdiction.
Li Tianqu led the army to travel day and night, passed Jeju again, and finally entered the boundary of Yanzhou in the northeast.
After passing through a forest, the light cavalry who was squatting in front of the front quickly came back to report to Li Tianqu and saw another vassal army fighting against the anti-army. Just when Li Tianqu and the generals were moving out of the forest, they heard the sound of rolling horse hooves pounding in the wilderness ahead, and the sounds of shouting and killing came faintly in the wilderness ahead.
Wherever we could see, we saw that the cavalry of the vassal states in Hedong were full of murderous intent. They divided into several cavalry formations, constantly tearing the anti-army into pieces, which were already broken. As the horse's hooves flew, a large area of dust was raised, and the situation in the wilderness was roughly watched, as if the war was about to come to an end soon.
Since he had the opportunity to see Li Ke from Hedong's cavalry fighting and fighting, Li Tianqu immediately paid great attention to the waiting and watching the situation. But when several cavalry attacked back and forth, it seemed that they ignored the enemy troops who were resisting in a panic. Since they had torn apart the formation of the anti-army, they crushed them like tanks that emerged from nowhere. They rumbling to take advantage of the situation to kill, and wherever they passed, they were overturned.
Behind the heavy riders who were equipped with heavy riders who broke through the formation and opened the way, there were also large groups of light riders like meat grinders. They took advantage of the opportunity to wave the weapons in their hands, and the cold light rose and fell, reaping lives unscrupulously. When they attacked and strangled, the places where these sharp riders waded through were also left with pieces of flesh and blood.
Witnessing the fierce and rapid offensive of the Hedong Cavalry, the increasingly desperate anti-military troops must have become like a group of lambs to be slaughtered. They were killed so hard that they would soon have no power to fight back. Li Tianqu's expression became more and more serious as he looked at him.
When he followed Zhao Chang in Chenzhou to command the cavalry, he had taken the initiative to attack and fought against the anti-army many times. The cavalry unit trained by Zhao Chang can be said to be good at conquering and fighting, and Zhao Chang has good leadership and command, and can also be said to be easy to adjust the tactics according to different combat conditions.
However, looking at the results of the cavalry fighting under Li Keyong in Hedong, they seem to be better at making full use of the high maneuverability of the cavalry to continuously harass, impact, and drag down the enemy. The cavalry reacted quickly, controlled the horses, and organized high-speed moving formations and seemed to be more skillful and tacit. Although it is still unknown which generals under Li Keyong are commanding this pursuit and extermination battle, only the means of leading the cavalry fighting seem to be better than Zhao Chang...
After all, in addition to the northern Han'er, Li Keyong gathered a large number of brave and powerful soldiers who grew up on horseback in the north such as Shatuo, Uighurs, Tuyuhun, etc., and had the innate advantage of forming several elite cavalry troops. Most other vassal states were of course incomparable to him.
It was not just Li Tianqu, but beside him, Wang Yanzhang, Ge Congzhou, An Renyi, Zhang Guiba and others witnessed the gradual one-sided battle situation in front of them, and their expressions became more and more serious.
Judging from Ge Congzhou's expression, he was even more thinking about something, and he couldn't help but hold one hand on his waist and pinch his jaw with the other hand, watching the situation very focused. He seemed to be thinking about how we would pull up several cavalry troops with such combat power in the future, or if one day we would fight against the Hedong vassal states and fight against those powerful generals and soldiers, how would I deal with it?
As for Wang Yanzhang, a horse war hero who repeatedly rushed around the city of Wanqiu, Chenzhou, and had a sharp edge in and out of the anti-army formation, he looked at the battle with a serious expression, and couldn't help but sigh: "Hedong Cavalry... is so powerful!"
When the two armies were fighting, the war reached the end of unilateral crushing. A group of troops appeared in their sight from the side, which of course would also attract the attention of the side who saw a great victory.
Soon, Li Tianqu saw two cavalry flags with more than a thousand people rolling, and quickly circled and gathered formations. The cavalry was instigated, like a rolling flood. From a distance, it seemed that they all raised their swords, spears, and bows in their hands. Wherever the soldiers were heading, they were about to rush towards the position of the cavalry they were commanding.
Because Li Keyong's pursuit of Huang Chao in Hedong was too rapid, Li Tianqu set out from Wanqiu and rushed to Yanzhou, which was no longer as communicative as the Xuanwu Army headed by Zhu Wen. Therefore, the light cavalry and fast horses sent earlier were not too late to inform Li Keyong's military. Now they first saw each other's troops, and they were catching up with the battle situation of the Hedong Army's pursuit and suppression of the anti-army...
It was obviously a friendly army that fought in concert. If the other party was unable to find out where it came from, it would be a big mistake. Li Tianqu immediately ordered: "Hurry up! Raise the flag!"
The pursuit battle was like a lightning-rushing pursuit, and it was driven all the way to Yanzhou. Wherever he passed, the anti-military troops were clearly destroyed and killed and defeated, so why did such unknown troops emerge from the rear? Since he had never heard of Xuanwu and Zhongwu, the nominal coordinated combat, it was actually a feudal military horse that was fighting for us to come to join forces to support him. Look at the Hedong Army's posture, it seems that he cares about your origin. Let's fight first!
However, among the soldiers in front of the formation who were ready to pull the bowstring and snatch the first round of cavalry, a general saw that the opponent did not hide or avoid, and seemed to have no intention of fighting with his own cavalry. Moreover, the flags standing in the opposite formation not only represented the sun, moon, and stars, which mean the three-year military flags belonging to the orthodox Chinese dynasty army. The flags fluttering in the wind were also embroidered with the large Tang characters. The Hedong cavalry formation that was originally galloping and rushed to the front, but the soldiers suppressed the cavalry bows, and did not take the lead and sprinkled a rain of arrows to Li Tianqu's troops...
However, the cavalry leaders who rushed towards us still had a cold light flashing, and it seemed that they had not taken it lightly.
As for the distance between them, Li Tianqu ordered his soldiers to guard the formation and not move rashly. He then jumped into the formation and shouted loudly: "I am Li Tianqu, the general under the command of the governor of Chenzhou Zhao, and was ordered to lead the cavalry to pursue the thieves from several vassal states and conduct a patrol. He is not a remnant of the anti-army!"
Although the commanders of several vassal states had their own thoughts, they went together to fight Huang Chao. Although Li Tianqu had no time to contact Li Keyong's troops before, they would at least go to pursue each other, and who would point in which direction to send troops to convey military information. Therefore, through the news from Zhu Wen, the Hedong Army also knew that Chenzhou, who had defended and resisted Huang Chao's army, had also sent a group of troops to accompany him, but they didn't know when they would meet, and not to mention that there were only one or two thousand troops, so they naturally didn't take it seriously.
The surrendered Cong rebels led by Zhang Guiba, Ge Congzhou and others were mostly captured Tang court official armor. Now, the clothes marked with Huang Chao's pseudo-Qi army have been removed. Although it looks mixed, the soldiers of Chenzhou official army led by Li Tianqu are located in the front line. The covered armors are covered with flat towels, red shirts and white robes, which are all Tang army-style equipment.
However, after hearing Li Tianqu talk about their group of people, a cavalry general in the Hedong Army who was in front of him kept snorting, and then muttered: "The official army of Chenzhou? It's true that he has come! Since he has defended his tyrants to resist the fierce attack of the Chain thieves, he is only fortunate to be slaughtered in the city. Why do you have to come to pursue the Chain thieves for more things? Should you also come to compete with our Hedong Army for that great contribution?"
