Chapter 822: The Anton Army Descends From the Sky

In Songjia Town, east of the Huangyi Army camp, Huangfu Chaobo's Anton Army also began to prepare. Five thousand cavalrymen had set out. Their purpose was to cut off all the spies of the Huangyi Army and buy time for the main force of the army to approach the Huangyi Army camp.

Huangyi thought that the Anton Army had only some scattered scouts around Xincai, and he never thought that the Anton Army had already regarded his tens of thousands of elite troops as a piece of fat meat, and was eyeing it covetously, ready to swallow it all in one bite.

The three hundred Yuan Shu Army scouts were annihilated by the Anton Army cavalry less than five miles away from the camp, and none of the three hundred scouts escaped.

At two o'clock in the morning, the Huangyi camp had been evacuated, and all the things had been dismantled, ready for the civilians to load the baggage carts. The army had just had breakfast and was slowly preparing to set off in formation. Just here, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded in the sky, and then everyone could see that the eastern sky was full of dust from the horses.

There were not many opportunities to see large-scale cavalry in the heartland of the Central Plains, but there were still many Nanyang veterans in the Imperial Guards who had seen the Anton Army, oh, the cavalry of the Luoyang Army at that time, and the cavalry of the Xiliang Army, so soon a general shouted loudly: "Cavalry, a large group of cavalry is coming, line up to meet the enemy!"

For a moment, the camp, which had just been quieted by the thunderous thunder, was boiling instantly like a bucket of water poured into a boiling oil pan.

The shouts of generals at all levels, the neighing of cattle and horses, and the panicked shouting and cursing of civilians and soldiers were heard everywhere.

At this time, the Huangyi Army did not expect that a large number of cavalry would attack. From Huangyi to the ordinary soldiers in the army, they all thought that they were still in their own heartland. The Anton Army was a hundred miles away. In the past few days, they had not found any signs of the appearance of a large number of enemy troops. Moreover, their own 300 scouts had set off half an hour ago. The 300 cavalry were very powerful in Runan, so they were all in a relaxed state.

The sudden attack immediately made the entire camp a mess.

Although the imperial guards in the camp had gone through a brief period of chaos, they were the elite of Yuan Shu's army. Although the camp was in a mess, the middle and lower-level generals in the army still reacted quickly, quickly gathered the soldiers around them, and arranged them in a simple defensive formation while sending people to the central army to ask for orders. They were all veterans of hundreds of battles and understood the consequences of a large infantry army encountering a large cavalry on the plain.

Unfortunately, the Huangyi Army camp is too messy now, with all kinds of supplies piled up everywhere. It is okay for a small army to form a formation of hundreds or even two or three thousand people, but it is basically impossible to form a large formation of more than one school.

Moreover, they also overlooked the most important issue, that is, their main general, the son-in-law of the Zhong Dynasty, has never had experience in leading troops in battle. Can he handle the current situation?

That's right, Huang Yi is now at a loss, his face pale. Although he has also seen tens of thousands of troops besieging Nanyang City, it can be said that he has never been on the battlefield. This time, although he was sent by Yuan Shu to defend the Andong Army and Yuzhou Army, and Yuan Shu also equipped him with a deputy general, the general is the courage of the army. The main general of the army is already scared and pale, how can the soldiers below not be afraid?

At this time, Huang Yi's face was pale, and his mouth was trembling for a long time. He couldn't say a complete sentence. After a long time, he heard him say: "How... How can it be... possible, why... why does the An... Andong... Army appear... here?"

"Where is the scout? My... our scout... why... why has there been no news?"

The deputy general Chen next to him looked at each other with the other generals. This son-in-law of his family really has never been on the battlefield. In this situation, how can he care about why there is no news from the scout? The three hundred scouts had no news, which only proved one thing, that the Anton Army definitely had a large number of elite troops near their home.

One of them stepped forward and said, "General,

The current plan is to order the army to assemble quickly, otherwise once the cavalry charges, none of my tens of thousands of troops will be spared. General, give the order immediately!"

Huang Yi then realized that, yes, he still had tens of thousands of elite troops, so what if the Anton Army came? When he thought of this, he immediately shouted, "Come on, lead the army to form a battle array, and block the Anton Army's cavalry for me!"

After such a delay, the 5,000 cavalry of the Anton Army had already arrived less than a mile east of Huang Yi's army. Seeing the chaos in the camp, Hu Yandu shouted happily: "Kill! You wolves, Yuan Shu's army is in chaos, follow me to kill, the cavalry is charging, the cavalry is approaching from both wings! The time to make achievements is now, kill!"

The five thousand cavalry immediately shouted loudly: "Kill, kill, kill!"

In a moment, three thousand cavalry rushed into Huang Yi's camp as if they were in an empty space, and then the three thousand cavalry were divided into three groups, one thousand people each, and they went back and forth in the camp to strangle the Yuan Shu soldiers who were lined up for battle. Soon, the front camp of Yuan Shu's army was turned upside down by Hu Yandu's cavalry.

Although Huang Yi didn't know the military, Chen Ju usually managed the army, so when the army set up camp, it was divided into three camps: front, middle and back. The front camp was 5,000 Xincai guards and 5,000 imperial guards. Although the Imperial Guards were able to form a small formation, the Xincai defenders did not have the same combat power. When the cavalry broke into the camp, less than a thousand of the five thousand defenders were ready.

The five thousand Xincai defenders quickly collapsed under the impact of the three thousand cavalry. Seeing this, Hu Yandu immediately led the cavalry to drive the fleeing soldiers towards the Imperial Guards in the front camp. He wanted to use the five thousand fleeing soldiers to disperse the five thousand Imperial Guards, and then help more fleeing soldiers to attack the two camps behind Yuan Shu's army.

Less than half an hour after the three thousand cavalry rushed into Yuan Shu's camp, the fifteen thousand An Dong army had also arrived. The cavalry had already disrupted the front camp, and when the infantry arrived, they did not spend any effort at all and successfully rushed into Yuan Shu's camp.

The participation of the An Dong army's infantry made the Yuan Shu soldiers in the front camp even more panicked. The soldiers of the Xincai defenders were originally blocked there by the Imperial Guards, but when they saw the An Dong army's infantry pressing all the way, the huge panic had made them no longer care about the Imperial Guards formation in front of them. Thousands of fleeing soldiers swarmed in and broke the Imperial Guards formation into pieces.

Under the impact of the fleeing soldiers and the cavalry, the 5,000 imperial guards were defeated in less than half an hour. The defeated soldiers desperately rushed out of the front camp and rushed towards the central camp.
