Chapter 2907 The Battle of Qin and Ming Ganyu, Jiao Mo went to kill Zhang Guihou (Part 2)

Chapter 2903: In the Battle of Ganyu during the Qin and Ming Dynasties, Jiao Mo went to kill Zhang Guihou (Part 2)

“Report…to the Grand Governor, Chang Mao suddenly appeared on the enemy’s left wing and led 300 cavalry to launch a surprise attack on our army’s left wing.”

If he were an ordinary general, he might not care after hearing this news. After all, the invading enemy army only had 300 cavalry, while the Qin army had 8,000 troops on the left wing. But Zhou Yu was obviously not an ordinary general.

After hearing the news, Zhou Yu showed a look of astonishment at first, and then gritted his teeth and said: “We are attacking from the east and from the west. This guy Zhu Di actually used the same tactics that the governor used to deal with our army.”

When Zhou Yu led his navy to harass the Jianghuai coast, the most common strategy he used was to attack in the east and attack in the west. This strategy was tried and tested against Zhu Di. Every time, he was embarrassed. Even if he knew it was a trick, he had to guard against it.

What Zhou Yu never expected was that Zhu Di would actually use the same tricks he had used against him, but he fell into the trap without checking for a while.

“You are so careless. I am really ashamed of the general’s teachings.”

Zhou Yu muttered to himself with a look of regret. He had learned a lot from Bai Qi. In addition to teaching him through words and deeds, Bai Qi also told him most not to underestimate any opponent.

In fact, Zhou Yu has not underestimated Zhu Di, but the opponent has always been defeated in his own hands. In addition, everyone has time to relax, and under the absolute advantage of military strength, Zhou Yu, who is as cautious as he is, will inevitably relax his vigilance. In a moment of carelessness, , so he failed to see the big conspiracy hidden under Zhu Di’s small calculation.

At this time, Zhou Yu also felt a sense of urgency in his heart. After all, Zhu Di dared to send only 300 cavalry to attack his left wing at this time. In addition to Chang Mao’s trump card, those 300 cavalry were definitely not ordinary cavalry, otherwise even if they came It’s just death.

“It seems that these three hundred cavalry are overlord cavalry.”

Zhou Yu secretly analyzed that after all, only the Bawang Cavalry among the Ming army had the combat power of hundreds of men to raid an army of tens of thousands. However, before the war began, he did not see the banner of the Bawang Cavalry, and the armor weapons of the Ming army cavalry were not Exclusive equipment for Overlord Cavalry.

Obviously, Zhu Di not only showed weakness, but also deliberately attacked the Tibetan army in order to catch the Qin army by surprise.

At this thought, Zhou Yu’s vigilance reached its peak, and he quickly ordered: “Recall Ao Shen and let him lead a thousand cavalry from the central army to immediately go to support the left wing.”

Out of caution, Zhou Yu did not recall the cavalry on the right wing. After all, he did not have many strong generals under his command. If the cavalry on the right wing left and another general from the Ming army attacked the right wing, he would be tricked by Zhu Di repeatedly.

Zhou Yu’s reaction was not unpleasant, and the remedial measures were useful, but in the end it was still a step too slow.

Ao Shen returned to the center from the right wing and led his cavalry to support the left wing. However, before he could arrive, Yi Sunchen was killed by Chang Mao.

Li Sunchen’s rank in the Qin Army was not low. Not only did he hold the rank of major general, he was also in charge of Beihai Port, one of the four major military ports of the Qin Army. But now he died under Chang Mao’s sword and became the current deceased on the Qingxu battlefield. The highest ranking Qin general.

After receiving the news, Zhou Yu’s eyes darkened. He suppressed the sadness and anger in his heart and asked, “General Yi Sun-shin had 8,000 troops under his command. How could he die in battle so quickly?”

Li Sunchen actually died a bit unjustly. He was not a brave general in the first place. He knew that Chang Mao was here, so he would not take any risks. But the problem was that he did not know that Chang Mao was leading the Overlord Cavalry, so he miscalculated The combat power of the invading Ming army cavalry.

When Li Sunchen learned that Chang Mao was invading, he knew that he had no strong generals under his command and it would be difficult to keep Chang Mao, so he wanted to deal with the three hundred Mingqi first. When Chang Mao was alone, he would naturally retreat. The crisis will resolve itself then.

Therefore, Yi Sun-shin, who had eight thousand troops under his command, faced the invading Chang Mao and adopted the tactic of first luring the enemy deep and then gathering in groups to encircle and annihilate them. He planned to rely on his numerical advantage to surround and kill the three hundred cavalry in one fell swoop.



With Yi Sun-shin’s arrangement, it stands to reason that 80% of the cavalry in the world would not be able to charge through. However, the 300 cavalry led by Chang Mao were overlord cavalry and obviously did not belong to the 80%.

 Under the leadership of Chang Mao, the three hundred Overlord Cavalry were like pendants and easily penetrated the Qin army’s defense line.

The spear formation, which originally had a restraining effect on the cavalry, was completely useless when facing the Overlord Cavalry.

Like Da Qin’s Feihu Army and Pojunying, Bawangqi has also received special training. Facing the spears thrust by spearmen, they know how to block and dodge, as well as protect their mounts, and can even cut off the spears easily.

 Even though steel production has greatly increased now, countries only cast swords and shields out of all steel. Even javelins are all metal, but long guns still have steel heads and wooden bodies.

This is naturally not because countries are reluctant to part with steel, but because long spears made entirely of steel are too heavy and heavy for soldiers to pick up, let alone fight.

Of course, even a wooden gun body is still very hard, but it is certainly not as hard as steel.

It is precisely because of this that the elite cavalry will include gun-breaking training in their daily training, because after years of training, the elite cavalry can indeed cut off the wooden gun body with several knives.

The spearmen are like toothless tigers if their spears break, not to mention that they are facing the elite of the cavalry?

Under the impact of the 300 Overlord Cavalry led by Chang Mao, even if Yi Sunchen made no mistakes in command, the defense line was still shattered. Even if more than ten times the enemy’s force was deployed, even with a mixture of guns and shields Even with the formation, they still couldn’t stop the cavalry, who were blocking people from killing Buddhas and blocking Buddhas from killing Buddhas.

After realizing that Chang Mao could not be stopped, Li Shunchen sent someone to ask Zhou Yu for help, but he could not leave, otherwise without his command, the left wing would only become more chaotic. This gave Chang Mao the opportunity to kill him.

Chang Mao relied on penetrating tactics to kill Yi Sunchen as he wished, and the Qin army’s left wing was also in chaos, but the degree was not as high as he expected. Therefore, he could only lead his army to continue the charge, and finally messed up the left wing. At this time, Ao Shen came to support with thousands of horses.

When Ao Shen led his army to arrive, the left wing of the Qin army was in mourning. The total casualties were no less than 1,500, while the casualties of Bawangqi were less than 100.

 In other words, the Qin army’s left wing had a total of 8,000 sailors. Not only could they not be able to deal with the 300 Overlord Cavalry, but the number of casualties was fifteen times that of the opponent.

“Is the gap between the navy and the infantry so big after landing?”

Ao Shen couldn’t help but murmur to himself. He thought that even if the navy’s infantry combat ability was different from that of the infantry, it wouldn’t be too big. However, he didn’t expect that he would be unable to fight back against the Overlord Cavalry.

If this were the 8,000-strong military division and Qin infantry on the left wing, they would definitely not let this mere 300 Overlord Cavalry wreak havoc.

Of course, if there were 8,000 Qin infantry, Zhu Di would not dare to send only 300 cavalry.

“Cavalry attacks.” Following Ao Shen’s order, the chaotic Qin army’s left wing took the initiative to make way for the Qianqi who came to support them to join the battle.

Seeing this, Chang Mao couldn’t help but sneered. Instead of retreating, he was even preparing to fight head-on.

 “The Overlord rides and kills.”

 Under the leadership of Chang Mao, the two hundred and twenty-eight cavalry took the initiative to fight against the Qianqi of the Qin Dynasty. The two armies directly collided with each other, and Chang Mao went straight to Ao Shen, apparently wanting to repeat his previous tactics of beheading Yi Sun-shin.

Ao Shencai was defeated by Zhang Guiba, and his physical strength had not yet recovered. Naturally, he could not be a match for Chang Mao, who was stronger than Zhang Guiba, but he was not prepared to fight Chang Mao head-on.

Yi Sun-shin died at the hands of Chang Mao because he was too strong. Once he was close, he would have no power to fight back.

 Ao Shen is different. Although he is not Chang Mao’s opponent, he still has the ability to avoid his close approach.

So a scene like this appeared. Chang Mao chased Ao Shen, but Ao Shen did not fight with him. He retreated while fighting and commanded the soldiers, constantly disturbing Chang Mao.

Chang Mao saw that Ao Shen did not dare to fight, so he said angrily: “Boy, if you are a man, don’t run away. If you have the guts to fight with me for three hundred rounds.”

But Ao Shen said without looking back: “I am not your opponent. If I don’t run, am I waiting to be killed by you?”

 Seeing that Ao Shen was so confident, Chang Mao didn’t know how to refute for a while. He saw that he couldn’t do anything to Ao Shen for a while, and the casualties of his own cavalry were also gradually increasing. For the sake of the overall situation, he was destined to choose to withdraw.

Seeing this, Ao Shen immediately organized his cavalry to pursue him, but he did not want the opponent to retreat while still shooting on horseback. Instead, he caused considerable losses to the Qin cavalry.

 There are two types of mounted archery, charging mounted archery and retreating mounted archery, and the latter is naturally more difficult than the former.

Even the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty did not master retreat cavalry and archery, let alone the navy cavalry.

The combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Great Qin Navy was naturally inferior to that of the army cavalry. If the Overlord Cavalry had not experienced a great battle and consumed a lot of physical strength, they might not have been able to repel it.

Even so, the casualties of the Qin army’s cavalry were not small. Nearly two hundred people died in the battle just now, while the Overlord cavalry only injured a hundred people.

Chang Mao led 300 men to fight, but only 130 men returned. However, he killed the Qin army’s left wing general and caused nearly 2,000 casualties to the Qin army.

After Ao Shen’s pursuit was fruitless, he could only stop and stabilize the army. After all, the left wing formation was completely in chaos. Not only was it impossible to attack, but if the Ming army attacked again, there might be a risk of collapse.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Ming army, but Zhu Di was unable to take advantage of the opportunity to expand the results, because the Ming army only had 500 Overlord Cavalry that could truly crush the Qin army.

Although the land combat capabilities of the Ming army led by Zhu Di were stronger than those of the Qin army’s navy, their total strength was only 6,300. On the other hand, Zhou Yu had an army of 31,000.

Therefore, Zhu Di was already too weak to deal with the Qin Army’s center and right wing alone, and was unable to divide his troops to attack the Qin Army’s left wing.

Zhou Yu thought that under his personal command, even without the support of the left-wing army, he could easily defeat Zhu Di with nearly five times the enemy’s strength. However, after the war actually started, he found that he had underestimated Zhu Di.

Although Zhu Di has a small number of troops, the Sparrow is well-equipped with all kinds of weapons including swords, shields, spearmen, crossbowmen, cavalry, etc. With the cooperation of multiple arms, not only the combat power is greatly increased, but also the resilience is extremely strong. , blocked the Qin army’s attacks one after another, and this battle also became a war of attrition, and the Qin army’s casualties were greater than those of the Ming army.

Zhou Yu knew that he had made a mistake. He had overestimated the land combat capabilities of the navy, and should not have used the navy as infantry. But now he was riding a tiger and it was difficult to dismount, and he had to capture Zhu Di first.

Seeing that the Ming army was still tenacious, Zhou Yu, who felt sorry for the casualties, quickly asked to his left and right: “What is Ao Shen doing? Why hasn’t the left-wing army attacked yet?”

“The Commander-in-Chief of the Cavalry, the left wing was attacked by the Ming army and suffered heavy casualties, and the formation was completely in disarray. It needs to be reorganized before going out to fight.”

Zhou Yu couldn’t help frowning when he heard this. He naturally knew that once the army fell into chaos, it would not be easy to reorganize it, but he still ordered: “Let Ao Shen quickly organize the army and go to war as soon as possible.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

Not long after the order was conveyed, Zhou Yu received another bad news. Chang Mao once again led 300 overlords to attack the left wing.

This time with Ao Shen and the cavalry in charge, the casualties on the left wing of the Qin army were not large, but the formation was disrupted. Although Ao Shen repelled Chang Mao again, the time for the battle was once again postponed.

 Obviously, Zhu Di knew that he could not stop the Qin army from attacking across the board, so he deliberately asked Chang Mao to confuse the situation, thereby avoiding facing the entire Qin army.

“Grand Governor, why don’t you mobilize 10,000 troops to join the battle?” Cai Mao asked.

“It’s useless. In the current situation, there is not much difference between 40,000 and 50,000. If you can’t win with 40,000, the same goes for 50,000.”

Zhou Yu shook his head at first, and then calmly analyzed: “Zhu Di is not willing to risk his own life, so he must have a back-up plan, and the coalition navy may come over at any time to kill him.

If another 10,000 naval troops are mobilized ashore, once the coalition naval forces come to attack, our army may not be able to stop it, and will fall into a situation where it is impossible to advance or retreat. “

As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, good news came from the front line.

Jiao Mochang, who was besieged by Chang Yuchun, Zhang Guiba, and Zhang Guihou, fought for 150 rounds with the enemy. Zhang Guihou, the weakest, was exhausted and finally showed his flaw.

Naturally, Jiao Moxiang would not miss this good opportunity. Not only did he injure Zhang Guihou, he also killed Zhang Guihou forcefully by exchanging injuries for his life under the obstruction of Zhang Guiba and Chang Yuchun. The three-on-one stalemate was broken in one fell swoop.
