Chapter 52 Entering Yangzhou
Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment.
Shen Xing was trying to hold back his laughter and said, "Sir, it seems that Luo Xiongchao has taken over Yangzhou and wants to ambush us!"
Liu Zheng was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Before coming here, they were still thinking about how to provoke Luo Xiongchao and make them fight their way out of the city. Unexpectedly, he actually took the initiative to invite Liu Zheng into the city!
This was totally effortless!
"Master Liu, come in boldly. The others are waiting outside the city!"
Of course, Luo Xiongchao is not stupid either, Liu Zheng is leading troops now.
"good!"
Liu Zheng smiled slightly and secretly gave Qin Changfeng a look.
The latter immediately understood. This time, they brought 4,000 soldiers from Yinzhou Prefecture, including 1,000 cavalrymen, who could charge! Although the enemy had 5,000 soldiers, in a place like the city gate, which was not wide, 5,000 people would not have any advantage at all. With these 1,000, it was enough to break through the city gate! Just delay for a while, and the 3,000 long spear and divine crossbow soldiers behind would follow into the city.
Therefore, as long as they dare to open the city gate, the real purpose will be revealed next!
Bang, bang, bang.
The city gate opened, and soon, hundreds of soldiers ran out, standing on the left and right, holding weapons and full of murderous intent. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were waiting for Liu Zheng, trying to put some pressure on him in terms of momentum.
Liu Zheng kept smiling and showed no fear as he rode his horse slowly forward.
Just when he was a hundred steps away from the city gate, Qin Changfeng suddenly shouted: "Kill!"
The Yinzhou cavalry, who had been prepared long ago, galloped like the wind and shouted in unison. Qin Changfeng rushed to the front with a momentum like a cloud.
Luo Xiongchao's face changed drastically: "How dare you, Liu family brat, tease me!"
“Close the door, close the door!”
Although the strength was superior with 5,000 to 4,000, the advantage of defending the city would definitely reduce the casualties. However, it was too late at this time. It was only a few hundred steps away, and the Liangzhou war horses would arrive in an instant! Qin Changfeng shouted loudly, and the spear in his hand took the lead in killing the scattered soldiers standing on the left and right. After a charge, dozens of people fell to the ground with blood.
The scattered soldiers in the city were already trying to close the city gates in a panic.
However, the cavalry would never give them a chance. They came in droves and immediately dispersed a group of stragglers who wanted to stop them!
"rush!"
Seeing that the city gate was under Qin Changfeng's control, the three thousand spear and crossbow soldiers behind him were already running after him.
Seeing Liu Zheng attacking the city, Luo Xiongchao was furious and shouted, "How dare you challenge me?"
"Kill them!"
The skirmishers were ready long ago. They were five thousand cavalrymen with strong charging ability. However, after all, this was in the city, and the space was not that open. Even so, their fighting power could not be underestimated.
"kill!"
Three thousand Luo Xiongchao's cavalrymen rushed over, intending to fight against Qin Changfeng's Yinzhou cavalrymen. Unexpectedly, Qin Changfeng smiled coldly, jumped off his horse, looked at Luo Xiongchao on the top of the city and sneered: "Ku Mian Yan Luo, do you dare to fight with me?"
Luo Xiongchao cursed loudly and picked up his two huge hammers.
At this time, the scattered cavalry had already rushed over, but the Yinzhou cavalry had already scattered. What greeted them was the long spear and crossbow formation that Liu Zheng had carefully prepared for the cavalry!
"Hahaha!"
"infantry?"
"Do infantry dare to fight cavalry?"
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw it.
The Liangzhou cavalry dominated the world and never took the infantry seriously. To deal with such weak infantry, just charge!
Luo Xiongchao also sneered and mocked: "Liu family kid, are you here to attract attention?"
at this time.
Inside Yangzhou City.
On top of several pavilions with wide views.
Those lords of prominent families still gathered together.
"Here he comes, Master Liu is here!"
"He's really coming? He's really brave!"
"Mr. Cheng, can Mr. Liu really defeat Luo Xiongchao?"
Some are excited, some are skeptical.
Cheng Yuanwai was actually worried. Luo Xiongchao's martial arts were amazing, and everyone saw it. Could Master Liu really defeat him?
He coughed dryly and said, "Don't worry, Master Liu has already sent a letter saying that he is confident he can handle a million cavalrymen!"
Everyone shouted.
Aren’t you afraid of millions of cavalry?
At this moment, they all stared at the city gate.
When they saw Liu Zheng's group of infantry, everyone's face changed.
"this……"
"Mr. Cheng, are you going to kill us?"
"How can these infantrymen stop the cavalry?"
Mr. Cheng also had a dark face, staring blankly at everything .
Mr. Liu, are you kidding me?
…
In a corner of the city.
When Jiang Xuan saw Liu Zheng's formation, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yangzhou was destroyed, not because of Lu Zhengyi!"
"It's about the young master of the Liu family!"
He stared at the spear that was as tall as two men, and suddenly felt powerless. The reason why he did not flee Yangzhou was that he wanted to see what kind of person this young master of the Liu family was!
If possible, he would like to join him!
However, at this moment, the frustration that surged in his heart was indescribable.
With such great talent, does he need to work for me?
…
"kill!"
"Crush them!"
"Hahaha, a bunch of actors!"
What these excited soldiers did not expect was that the ensuing charge would be the biggest nightmare of their lives.
In the first charge, the opponent's fan-shaped spear formation dispersed more than half of the cavalry's impact! What made them even more frustrated was that before they really rushed over, they suffered a lot of losses under the attack of the crossbowmen. When they really reached the front of the Yinzhou soldiers, the long spears that made people despair had already stabbed at them!
Accurate!
vigorously!
"ah!"
Dozens of unprotected scattered soldiers were pierced by spears on the spot. The death of the cavalry in front would inevitably affect the impact of the back, which was the purpose of the fan-shaped formation, which would disperse the opponent's combined force to the greatest extent.
In the second charge, the Yinzhou soldiers formed a diamond formation again!
The diamond formation gathered all the pressure at the top of the formation, but it freed up the fighting power on both sides. This time, the loss of the skirmisher cavalry increased again!
After observing the Yinzhou soldiers, they continued to move forward steadily!
Luo Xiongchao was stunned and furious: "Charge, keep charging!"
His invincible Liangzhou cavalry was actually restrained?
However, just as he finished speaking, Qin Changfeng had already attacked him. Qin Changfeng used a sword on horseback and a spear on horseback. Just like Captain Yuan, this spear stabbed with murderous intent.
Luo Xiongchao sneered, thinking that he had just killed someone today, and now someone else is willing to die again!
The huge hammer suddenly smashed down, but Qin Changfeng had already expected this move. He smiled faintly and shook his wrist. The silver-white spear dodged the huge hammer like a spirit snake, and the tip of the spear instantly came to Luo Xiongchao's face.
“Damn it!”
Luo Xiongchao was horrified, but he reacted quickly and dodged by turning his head.
Who knew that after dodging like this, he realized that he had been tricked!
This is a counterattack!
All of Qin Changfeng's strength is actually hidden in this sudden attack.
With a crackling sound!
This time, Qin Changfeng actually tore off a piece of Luo Xiongchao's face.
"Roar!"
Luo Xiongchao was so angry that he shouted, "You're looking for death!"
The two huge hammers were buzzing, and he ignored the serious injuries on his face and suddenly smashed towards Qin Changfeng. He was worthy of being called the Bitter-faced Devil. This blow made Qin Changfeng a little overwhelmed and he dodged step by step.
Meanwhile, the scattered cavalry had been completely disrupted.
What makes them despair is.
No matter which direction he charged from, east, south, west, north, he could not shake the other side's formation! In fact, after this charge, the scattered soldiers had suffered heavy losses, but the Yinzhou soldiers only had dozens of casualties!
"this……"
"What team is this?"
The prominent families in the attic were now stunned.
Jiang Xuan in the corner was also dumbfounded.
Who could have thought that the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, which the entire Liangzhou was so proud of, would be so vulnerable?
"rush!"
Although Qin Changfeng was not there, there were still people in command here. Seeing that the scattered soldiers had been completely dispersed and had lost their will to fight, a soldier shouted angrily.
The spear and crossbow formation changed again!
This time, it’s a cone!
A real charge formation!
The battle formation was like a cone, and the cavalry was completely dispersed.
Then, together with the one thousand cavalrymen, they will completely dominate the battlefield!
At this time, Qin Changfeng became more and more courageous.
Because he knew that although Luo Xiongchao was extremely strong, he was a notorious drunkard and womanizer. Under the influence of alcohol and women, no matter how good his physical strength was, he could not withstand such an overdraft.
Sure enough, after swinging the two giant hammers more than ten times, Luo Xiongchao was already out of breath, and his angry eyes were as big as copper bells.
“Come again!”
Luo Xiongchao naturally didn't believe it. He thought that his name, the Bitter-faced Yama, was well-known in Liangzhou. How could he not be a match for this pretty boy?
Qin Changfeng snorted coldly, knowing that he could defeat Luo Xiongchao now, so he no longer hid his weakness. His horse galloped again, and Qin Changfeng shouted loudly. The spear in his hand trembled slightly in the air, and it actually brought up a gust of wind, which was even more violent than before.
Luo Xiongchao looked incredulous.
Why is this guy still so ferocious after so many rounds of fighting?
boom!
However, he didn't have the chance to think about it.
Killed by spear.
The hammer fell to the ground.
The scattered soldiers had long lost their will to fight, and when they saw Luo Xiongchao being killed in a one-on-one fight, their morale was broken and they fled in panic. This gave the Yinzhou soldiers another opportunity to reap the rewards.
Not only the Yinzhou soldiers, the private soldiers of the prominent families and the government soldiers who had been defeated long ago, but even the common people came at this time.
Who doesn't know how to give a drowned man a beating?
Soon, the Yinzhou soldiers completely took control of Yangzhou City.
Poor Luo Xiongchao, he died before he even had the chance to touch the county treasury's silver a few times.
"Master Liu!"
"Mr. Liu, you are such a great benefactor!"
"Yangzhou is safe today, thanks to the descent of the young master from heaven!"
When the prominent families and common people saw this young man who had helped Yangzhou resist bandits, their eyes became wet and they shouted his name.
Liu Zheng took the "bandit suppression order" and shouted, "I was ordered by Liangzhou Prefecture to come to Yangzhou to help repel the bandits. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. Yangzhou is stable. You can have your babies with peace of mind!"
The whole city cheered and was in high spirits.
If this isn’t a savior, then what is it?
"Welcome the young master to Yangzhou!"
"Yangzhou should be protected by you, young master!"
The prominent families, along with their servants and private soldiers, roared at the top of their lungs.
Liu Zheng smiled slightly, and rode to the county mansion under the welcome of the people. The county mansion was in a mess, with wounds all over the ground. The fire was rising to the sky, and Liu Zheng stared at the thick smoke beside him, and the next moment his eyes were filled with tears, and he fell to the ground at the door of the county mansion.
"Lord Lu, Liu Zheng is late!"
The people wept when they heard this.
Such a benevolent and righteous king can accomplish great things!
