Chapter 718 Victory in the first battle!

When Lu Zheng was using troops, he expected that the Northwest Army would inevitably break through in a hurry, and the direction of breaking through could only be to separate and advance. Dong Jialin quickly approached Qi Biao, and the two troops gathered together, so that they could exert their greatest power.

Therefore, there is no suspense in the direction of breaking through Dong Jialin. Therefore, Lu Zheng installed a heavy cavalry in the front, and as soon as the two sides fought, Dong Jialin fell into a passive position.

However, Lu Zheng still underestimated the strength of the Northwest Army. Even though Dong Jialin relied on nepotism, he was also a brave general. After being blocked from his attack, Dong Jialin was not in a mess and immediately adjusted his deployment. The horn in the army became soothing. Dong Jialin's cavalry slowly retreated and the two sides broke off contact.

Immediately, Dong Jialin quickly turned his head and charged northward. The cavalry of the Southern Prefecture Army in the north contacted Dong Jialin's Northwest Army. Even though the other side was surrounded by all sides, the disadvantages of the two sides were immediately exposed as soon as they fought.

The cavalry in the northwest came and went like the wind and was as fierce as fire. Once it was unfolded, the attack was rapid. Moreover, their cavalry and shooting were almost every shot. After the two sides contacted each other, more than half of Lu Zheng's two thousand men were killed or injured! Such a heavy injury was almost equivalent to the battle damage caused by heavy cavalry against light cavalry.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Lu Zheng looked at the battle and immediately ordered the attacks of other parties to speed up, encircle from all sides, and quickly squeezed the space for Dong Jialin's movement. Dong Jialin was attacked from all sides. As Lu Zheng's encirclement quickly closed, the fierce flames of the northwest cavalry were slightly weakened.

In fact, Lu Zheng had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. Lu Zheng used more than 20,000 troops to surround Dong Jialin's 5,000 troops, almost four times the number. Lu Zheng was confident about the chance of winning this battle, and felt that he could win no matter what, and won beautifully.

But now, judging from the casualties between the two sides, Lu Zheng is four times that of his opponent, and the casualties rate is almost the same. In other words, if Lu Zheng wants to destroy Dong Jialin, he may have to lose five thousand cavalry himself, which is too expensive for Lu Zheng!

Lu Zheng hesitated a little, and the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. At the moment of life and death, Dong Jialin burst out with an extremely strong desire to survive. He forced the battle formation of the northwest cavalry and relied on a mountain bag to stabilize the position. The mountain bag had support behind it, which was not conducive to cavalry fighting. Dong Jialin then asked the cavalry to approve heavy armor and organized 500 heavy armored cavalry to stand in front, and then asked the archers holding the ox horn bow to shoot vigorously at Lu Zheng's army. The cavalry was a flesh shield and the longbow was a sharp weapon. This was a typical tactic of coordinated infantry and heavy cavalry.

Lu Zheng watched the thousands of Northwest Iron Cavalry transform from a ranger into a fortress, and his offense and defense were so fast that he couldn't believe it... The Northwest Iron Cavalry turned out to be so terrible, and Song Naifeng could really train the heavenly soldiers!

Lu Zheng's casualties rose sharply. Under this situation, Lu Zheng could only call out the gold and withdraw his troops, let his cavalry monitor him from afar, wait for opportunities, adjust their deployment, and then find a way.

Fortunately, Yue Feng was fully prepared for this battle, so he immediately asked the lieutenant general to set up four hard crossbows. The heavy arrows on the crossbows were fired, and the arrows made a terrifying whistling sound, breaking the enemy's armor a hundred steps away. In addition, Yue Feng's famous man brought the turbulent oil over, poured it out on the mountain bag, and then ignited the fire on all sides, trapping Dong Jialin's army in the fire with the raging fire.

The fire was burning and rolling up thick smoke. Dong Jialin had just calmed down and was about to use the heavy cavalry to break through quickly. Lu Zheng used such a fierce move, which made him unable to help but curse.

There was no way, Dong Jialin gave up his plan to continue moving forward. He reported that the generals were allowed to break through. The direction of the breakthrough was to the northwest, which was equivalent to retracting directly towards Bingzhou.

With his order, the cavalry quickly dispersed, with dozens or hundreds of cavalrymen, and Dong Jialin's cavalry split into dozens of squads, all of which were fleeing north in their own ways.

Lu Zheng once again ordered the cavalry from several sides to press forward, and the two sides fought desperately on the vast wasteland. The battle was extremely fierce. Dong Jialin's tactics gave up the cumbersomeness of rushing into the formation. It seemed to be out of order, but he was well aware of the essence of guerrilla warfare. After the cavalry was dispersed, the power of the encirclement was greatly weakened.

More importantly, the Nanfu Army is a new army. When facing a target, they can focus on the target and quickly lock in the target and attack decisively. However, once dozens of targets are found, there will be a situation of losing sight of the other. Taking advantage of the gap between the Nanfu Army, some cavalry in the northwest began to jump out of the encirclement.

Of course, the price Dong Jialin paid was also huge. Not to mention anything else, after just dispersing like this, they would have no offensive power. The next situation was the rhythm of dog chasing rabbits. Dong Jialin was also cruel enough. In order to escape, he simply gave up all his troops.

This battle lasted a day and a night, and Lu Zheng instantly swallowed Dong's Lin's five thousand troops. When Dong's Lin retreated to the vicinity of Luoyang, he only followed two hundred cavalry...

Due to the unchanging communication, Qi Biao received the news the day after the battle, which means that the 10,000 troops arranged by Yue Feng at Yanzikou had never moved at all!

Taking stock of this battle, Yue Feng's 30,000 cavalry also injured 3,000 people. This was a huge casualty, and it can be said to be heavy. Fortunately, Yue Feng seized thousands of good horses. As long as there were horses, the Yue Feng's cavalry was still very fast!

There were great casualties, but the morale in the army was extremely high. In this battle, the soldiers of the Southern Prefecture Army were greatly encouraged because they defeated the arrogant Northwest Army.

Once upon a time, the Northwest Iron Cavalry really seemed to be a god in everyone's heart. Any cavalry has never heard of the famous Northwest Iron Cavalry and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.

But today, this time, the cavalry of the Southern Prefecture Army defeated the Northwest Iron Cavalry, and at an extremely disadvantage, they won the battle by taking grain from the fire. It is conceivable how sensation this battle caused.

The news spread on the first day, and no one in the world dared to believe it. It was not until two days later that Dong Jialin returned to Bingzhou and the scene of tears was seen that everyone believed that Dong Jialin's defeat turned out to be true.

Qi Biao redeems his sins and quickly turns his troops around and returns to the place where the two sides are fighting. At this time, all he sees are devastated and corpses that are not too late to be buried in the northwest robes.
