Chapter 56: Facing Off
Feng Ye and his entourage were very fast, and in just three days, they had already arrived at Yanmen in Bingzhou. Hua Xiong, Zhang Yan, Zhang He and other generals all came out to greet them from afar.
When Hua Xiong saw Feng Ye, he hurriedly took two steps forward, knelt on the ground with a "bang", and said with a ashamed face: "Lord, the last general led the troops alone for the first time, and he failed to complete the task, and I ask the lord to punish him." ”
Zhang Yan and Zhang He, seeing Hua Xiong taking the lead in asking for guilt, also hurriedly took two steps forward and knelt behind Hua Xiong together: "The last general is guilty, please punish the lord." ”
Seeing this, Feng Ye hurriedly dismounted and helped the three of them up and said, "What are the three generals guilty of?
Moreover, the three of them can be regarded as guilty if they can defend the gate of the state and protect the territory and the people under the condition that the 100,000 troops of the Di people are pressing the border? Not only are they not guilty, but they are meritorious!"
Being said by Feng Ye, the three of Huaxiong felt a lot more comfortable, this battle was really too aggrieved.
has been beaten by the Di people with many people, and the two sides have fought three times, but they can't be said to be defeated, and each time the Di people have lost much more than them.
But the other party relied on the numerical advantage and forced them to retreat again and again. The troops suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and more than 5,000 were killed in battle.
However, the other party did not fall well, and the casualties should be more than 20,000. It's just that Hua Xiong and the others have few soldiers and can't fight hard with each other.
"The lord is now not only the Di people, but also the Qi people, seeing the Di people coming to disturb him, he feels that there is a bargain to pick up, and he has also come to join in the fun. Hua Xiong reported to Feng Ye.
"So, now the more powerful forces on the grassland are just the Huns?" Feng Ye asked.
"Lord, if we can't quickly repel the Di people and the Qi people, I'm afraid that the Huns will also come over to join in the fun.
You sent people to sweep away the aliens in Youzhou, and the matter of Wuhuan and Xianbei was destroyed, and now it has spread all over the grassland.
In the past, when they didn't border with you, they didn't care, anyway, they had enmity with each other. Nor would he want to send troops for his enemies.
But now that you occupy the state, you will be bordering on these large alien races.
They are not stupid, for fear that you will also deal with them the same way you did with Xianbei and Wuhuan. Therefore, they will never let the lord gain a foothold in the state. Zhang Yan reported to Feng Ye.
Zhang Yan has a good understanding of the situation in Bingzhou, and has also traded horses with these foreign races in the past. So I heard some news about this foreign army.
Feng Ye was also very surprised when he heard the news, he never thought that the evil consequences of the destruction of Xianbei and Wuhuan would only be revealed at this time.
Today's Feng Ye can be said to be notorious on the grassland, and the women on the grassland use his name to scare disobedient children.
Hearing Zhang Yan's report, Feng Ye knew why those alien races couldn't come early or late, and as soon as his army entered the state, these alien races would come over. It turns out that the roots are here.
"Where did Zilong go? Didn't I send him over to support?" Feng Ye looked around, but did not see Zhao Yun among the generals, so he asked.
"General Zilong said that defense is not the way, and he took his white horse to the grassland in the north. It is said that it is to keep the enemy out of the country. Hua Xiong explained.
Hua Xiong, as the main general of this attack on Bingzhou, Zhang Yan and Zhang He, are also headed by him, so it is Hua Xiong who stands up and answers.
Feng Ye thought for a moment: "It's true, Zhao Yun is the chief general under his command, where can Hua Xiong control him? Moreover, Zhao Yun is also used to wandering the grassland with a white horse and attacking those tribes on the grassland.
It's just that without Feng Ye's Hai Dongqing's support, Feng Ye is afraid that Zhao Yun will suffer. After meeting with the generals, he sent Haidong Qingdu out.
Although the grassland is large, under the carpet search of Haidongqing, Zhao Yun's trace was quickly discovered by Feng Ye. With the Karma, some tribes of the Di people.
Zhao Yun can be regarded as trained now, marching on the grassland extremely carefully, scouting on a horse, and sending out to go very far.
With the speed of the white horse's righteous obedience, it is not afraid of being ambushed and surrounded by the enemy. Along the way, he fed the war with battles, and there were as many as three destroyed tribal wrecks that Feng Ye found on the road alone. And in terms of size, they are not small tribes.
To do these things, Bai Ma Yicong can be said to be familiar with the road and very skilled.
Feng Ye found that there was no danger on Zhao Yun's side, so he didn't care about him, and there was such a force as Bai Ma Yi to destroy on the grassland.
It can also make those alien races who come to attack and merge the state feel jealous, and while attacking, they also have to worry that the tribe will be attacked and their families and livestock will be robbed.
As long as the news of Bai Ma Yi from the raids on various tribes on the grassland spread to the army, these alien alliances would inevitably return to the army.
Feng Ye simply left a Hai Dongqing to watch Zhao Yun here, so as not to let them be surrounded and suppressed.
Early the next morning. Feng Ye convened a meeting of the whole army.
"Everyone, passive defense is not our style, since Liaodong started to raise troops, we have always attacked, attacked, and attacked.
The generals will go back to regroup and fight, and we must defeat the army of the people before they arrive. It is also good to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, so that the Turks do not dare to act rashly.
And the chicken that first did it to us was the Di people. In this battle, no matter how much we lose ourselves, we will completely wipe out the army of the Di people here.
Exterminate their dead people, let everyone know that they dare to attack our fate. Feng Ye said impassionedly.
In fact, Feng Ye didn't say a word: otherwise, once the Turks also joined, that form would be very dangerous for them.
"Honorable Order. I am willing to die for the Lord and fight to the death with the Di people. The people under his command will be boiled by Feng Ye's blood.
After lunch, Feng Ye led 43,000 Youzhou iron cavalry out of Yanmen Pass, leaving only Sun Zhong to lead 10,000 halberds and some wounded Youzhou cavalry to defend.
As soon as Feng Ye came out of the customs, he was discovered by the people outside the customs. Feng Ye didn't want to hide it originally, the movements of the 50,000 army were not so easy to hide.
Di Ren was very bold, and he was not afraid to fight against Feng Ye's Youzhou Assault Cavalry, and the armies of both sides faced each other, without saying a word, and looked at each other silently.
Both parties see each other as their prey, there is nothing to say, and from the moment they meet each other, they have already established an undying relationship.
Most of these people were dressed in leather armor, and a few wore bone armor plucked from the dead Youzhou Turret.
These Di people, looking at the eyes of the Youzhou Tuqi, have a greed that cannot be concealed. I can't wait to rush over immediately and snatch the equipment of the Youzhou Turchariot.
"All the soldiers rushed with me, and slew them all. Feng Ye rode out of the crowd, waved the sledgehammer in his hand, and took the lead in charging the opposite side.
The generals behind him followed closely behind him and launched a charge. This was followed by the galloping of thousands of horses. A loud shout of killing sounded between heaven and earth, mixed with the sound of horses' hooves.
The Di people on the opposite side also showed no weakness, and in the face of the charge of the Youzhou Assault Cavalry, they chose to hedge very confidently.
Obviously, the previous victory made them feel that the Youzhou Raid was nothing more than that. The two sides collided like two torrents.
Feng Ye, who rushed to the front, swept with a sledgehammer in his hand, smashing the three cavalrymen who rushed over on the opposite side, along with their men and horses, to the ground.
Immediately after that, these people and horses who fell to the ground, and before they even had time to scream, they were constantly trampled on by the cavalry who charged over, and their deaths were extremely miserable.
The two sides hedged against the large-scale cavalry, and those who fell off their horses would surely die. No equipment can stop the trampling of thousands of galloping horses.
Feng Ye kept swinging the sledgehammer with both hands, and he didn't know how many enemies he had smashed. After the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, after entering the opponent's military formation, I only felt that there were enemies everywhere.
I don't know the direction at all, I can only identify one wind direction, and I just need to charge desperately. In this case, to stop is to die.
The flag officer behind Feng Ye changed three times in succession, but he never let his handsome flag fall. It can be seen that the cruelty of the war, even the most elite guards around Feng Ye have died a lot.
Because the soldiers behind have to follow Shuai Qi. The place where Feng Ye's handsome banner was located was the direction in which the soldiers charged.
When Feng Ye raised his head again, the striker finally couldn't see the enemy again, but he had already penetrated the enemy formation. He looked back at the army behind him.
With just one charge, nearly half of the Youzhou Assault Cavalry was missing. It's the biochemical war horses, most of which rushed over. It's just that there is no trace of a warrior on many war horses.
Feng Ye gently took the reins, weakened the horse's speed, and made a small half-circle. Once again, face the army of the Diren.
I saw that the battlefield between the two sides was covered with the corpses of both sides of the battle, both human and horse corpses, and the earth had been stained red with blood.
Raising his eyes and looking at the opposite side, the 100,000 army, which was originally black and overwhelming, looked a little sparse at the moment, and the number of people had decreased by more than half.
It looked like there were less than 30,000 people, and the two sides faced off again. Only this time, the momentum of the two sides has been completely different.
Although Feng Ye's side also lost a lot of soldiers, but now the morale is high, and the soldiers are thinking about how to avenge the brothers who died in battle, staring at the other side.
One by one, they are eager to try, and they are ready to rush again. And the army of Di people on the opposite side were in a trance.
Look at the corpses in the middle of the battlefield, and then look at the missing half of their comrades. One by one, their eyes couldn't help but flicker, and they didn't dare to look at the Youzhou Raid on the opposite side.
"Kill! Leave no one behind!" Feng Ye ordered.
The Youzhou Turks once again charged, but this time, the Diren army on the opposite side did not dare to hedge again.
As soon as many soldiers saw Feng Ye charge, they were so frightened that they hit their horses and left, and they no longer dared to fight against the Youzhou Assault Cavalry.
It's just that where can they run? Their horses are far inferior to those of Youzhou Tuqi.
If they choose to hedge, they may be able to inflict some casualties on the Youzhou Raiders. But this escape, he handed over his back to the Youzhou Tucai. Then it was a complete target.
