Chapter 491: A Fire
"It's a little too easy!"
Xiao Yu also nodded, since he blocked it, he must attack with all his might.
"Miss, military advisor, are you thinking too much?"
Guan Zhanfeng, who was the vanguard, immediately said: "The cavalry under Zheng Tianyi always attacked with all their strength at the beginning, and they did not retreat..... It was only when he saw that even Xie Ji's cavalry had left the city that he gave in!"
"General Baili, what do you think?"
Xiao Yu smiled slightly, and immediately looked at Baili Yidao.
"I agree with Warwind's statement!"
Baili replied immediately.
"Good!"
"Captain Yang, what about you?"
Xiao Yu smiled slightly, and looked at Yang Tianxuan again.
"Back to the military division, from the perspective of his subordinates, this matter may not be so simple!"
Yang Tianxuan's face was quite heavy: "I don't know if you have noticed, the position of the enemy formation is relatively relaxed, it seems that there are 40,000 people, but in fact, there are 30,000 people at most." Do you need 15,000 troops to hold the camp?"
"Haha, haha!"
"Good, good, well said!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yu finally knew that something was wrong, the number of people was wrong.
The enemy's formation was indeed loose, and flags fluttered in many places, covering the traces of the army, apparently to cover up the lack of troops.
If it weren't for Yang Tianxuan's carefulness, Xiao Yu, a person with little actual combat experience, would definitely not be able to see the flaws.
Ahead, there will be an ambush!
"So, there's an ambush ahead?"
"But from Puyang to Shanheguan, most of them are open plains, and there is nowhere to ambush!"
When Baili Bing heard this, he immediately took out the map and studied it while he was on the move.
"Yes!"
"On the way to Ma Ming Pass, there is a dense forest, which can be ambushed!"
Yang Tianxuan immediately spoke.
"Yes, Yang Duwei is right. Our army went out of the city to help, and the troops were insufficient, and we would definitely not give up the 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 foot soldiers led by Yang Tianzhou and Li Ziyi at Ma Ming Pass. ”
Xiao Yu had already thought of it: "After the war, it is very necessary to take a detour to Maming Pass to rest, and you need to gallop hundreds of miles to resist the Shanhe Pass, and it is also the choice that every commander will make." And the enemy army, this is the bet. ”
"In that case, how can it be that there are at least 10,000 people in ambush ahead?" Baili Bing was reluctant to use his brains again: "Could it be that the two thousand cavalry who gave up Yang Tianzhou?"
"If you don't eat the meat that is brought to your mouth, that's stupid!"
The place Yang Tianxuan said, Xiao Yu was normal, and a touch of coldness immediately emerged: "The place where they ambush is the place where their bones are buried!"
"Strategist, the last general, please take your life!"
There was actually an ambush, and Guan Zhanfeng was suddenly overjoyed.
He was deceived by Pang Yi and almost died, which is a lifetime of shame. All the armies of Tianqian City are extremely hated and disgusted.
"Good!"
Xiao Yu looked at the time, just right!
Before arriving in the dense forest, it was already dark, and the enemy army had calculated the time, which was powerful enough!
······
Night falls.
The dense forest was getting closer and closer, but Xiao Yu suddenly stopped advancing and let the army rest on the spot.
"Strategist, according to your orders, the rocket is ready, when will it go?"
The army rested for a long time, and Xiao Yu didn't give an order, Guan Zhanfeng was in a hurry.
"Wait!"
Xiao Yu waved his hand and continued to close his eyes to recuperate.
This wait will soon be half an hour, which will make all the generals at a loss. Knowing that there is an ambush ahead, and preparing a way to break the ambush, do you have to wait?
"I say, what the hell are you up to?"
Baili Bing has always trusted Xiao Yu, and he can't wait.
"Whew, whew!"
At that moment, a gust of wind raised.
Xiao Yu looked at the direction of the wind, and immediately laughed: "God help me..... Guan Zhanfeng listened to the order and ordered you to lead 3,000 ejaculating horsemen and set off immediately. As soon as you enter the forest trail, you will shoot a rocket, and then rush through at full speed!"
"Yes!"
"Please rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to his mission!"
Together with this north wind, even Guan Zhanfeng understood what Xiao Yu was waiting for, and everyone else naturally understood.
The north wind immediately became the same direction as the forest path, and at this time the army entered, and fired rockets, and the forest was immediately ablaze.
Guan Zhanfeng and the others, moving with the wind, will naturally not be burned.
The enemy army in ambush can only turn into a roast suckling pig under the strong wind. This calculation made the generals admire.
Under Xie Yi, Xu Guangyuan, the captain who commanded the 6,000 cavalry, was also admired.
During this time, in Puyang City, there were all legends of Xiao Yu. When I saw it today, it was really powerful, no wonder it was able to break the plan of Zheng Tianyi and Jinzhou to assassinate the history, which caused Zheng Tianyi's power to suffer a big loss.
Soon, Xiao Yu saw the sky-high fire in the dark night.
Faintly, there was a terrible wail, which was extremely miserable.
"Let's go!"
Xiao Yu sighed helplessly, go first!
Wind and fire, you can imagine!
This is the battlefield, this is the war, and tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, will be wiped out in a fire.
Princely hegemony, corpses and bones are like mountains!
When the army arrived, they saw the situation in the monstrous fire, and listened to the misery inside, and everyone was terrified.
The awe of Xiao Yu is a little more.
Of the tens of thousands of people in ambush, I don't know how many of them can escape with their lives?
However, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that they are not dead, and they can still sit on horseback, which is the greatest luck.
······
The next morning!
Converged with the 2,000 cavalry of Ma Ming Pass, the army cooked on the third watch, and set off on the fifth watch, galloping away in the direction of Shanhe Pass!
After running for hundreds of miles in a row, Xiao Yu did not stop.
Xu Guangyuan, who knew Xiao Yu's plan, was a little apprehensive in his heart. If Xiao Yu doesn't return to the army, how should he deal with himself?
During the march, Xiao Yu saw Xu Guangyuan's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Captain Xu, if this military division deceives Xie Ji, what should you do?"
"Ugh!"
Xiao Yu's words shocked Xu Guangyuan and almost fell off his horse, and he didn't know how to answer at all.
"Haha, haha!"
"The whole army listened to the order, and on the left side of the road ahead, there was a valley full of water and grass, and there was a river through the valley, and the army entered the valley to repair...... Guan Zhanfeng listened to the order and ordered you to lead three thousand elite cavalry, and after traveling another hundred miles, make a detour back!"
After Xiao Yu laughed loudly, he suddenly ordered.
"Yes!"
Hearing the order, the happiest person was Xu Guangyuan.
admired Xiao Yu's wisdom even more.
The enemy army in ambush in the dense forest, after escaping with their lives, will definitely detect the traces of Xiao Yu's army and the distance they are traveling.
Knowing that the army had left for two hundred miles, he was naturally convinced.
What surprised Xu Guangyuan even more was that the elite cavalry under Xiao Yu's command, whether it was a war horse or the physical strength of the soldiers, was extremely long.
His cavalry, which could not catch up at all, was completely inferior.
Especially the three thousand elite cavalry led by Guan Zhanfeng, that is the elite of the elite, and there is no sense of fatigue at all when running for hundreds of miles.
Don't talk about him, it's a hundred miles of ice, a hundred miles of a knife, Guan Zhanfeng, Yang Tianxuan and others are very puzzled, why did the soldiers suddenly increase their strength with the war horses under their command?
Only Xiao Yu understood that it was a liquor mixed with the spiritual liquid of the 'Demon Refining Pot', and it had an effect.
······
The next day, at noon!
Xiao Yu finally gave the order to return to the army.
The news of Puyang City has also come.
The army ambushed by the enemy army was burned by a fire, and after it was determined that Baili Bing had led the army to aid Qianzhou City, he did not prevent Xie Ji's army from attacking Fufeng City from returning, and immediately launched an attack on the city.
On the 10th day of the garrison, the large-scale siege equipment built by the army was also constantly bombarded, and the battle situation was once tragic, and both sides were damaged.
When the army arrived in Puyang County again, it was already late at night.
"The army dismounted, rested for an hour, and attacked the enemy camp at night!"
Xiao Yu's mood was a little excited.
Zheng Tianyi, who injured tens of thousands of troops, did not retreat, he was a little too confident, and he underestimated the combat effectiveness and staying power of Xiao Yu's soldiers and horses.
"Mr. Xiao, our army is in a continuous hurry, and the people are sleepy and lacking, so I am afraid that the lack of combat effectiveness will affect the results of the battle!"
Hearing this, Xu Guangyuan was shocked.
The cavalry under his command, if he hadn't held his breath in his heart and didn't want to be compared to the cavalry under Xiao Yu's command, he would have been unable to hold on for a long time.
"Captain Xu doesn't need to panic, you can choose to lead three thousand people who still have the strength to fight, attack the north gate, set fire everywhere, and burn the enemy's grain and grass. The other 3,000 people will be handed over to Yang Tianxuan's command and captured prisoners, how about it?"
Xiao Yu also knew that the cavalry under his command had almost no combat effectiveness at the moment.
"Since Mr. Xiao is confident, he will definitely do his best!"
Such a good thing as capturing prisoners actually let his men and horses participate, and Xu Guangyuan immediately agreed.
"Good!"
"General Baili listened to the order and ordered you to lead an army of 6,000 to attack the south gate, without killing too much, and waving the flag and shouting to me one by one. Make me as loud as you can!"
Xiao Yu immediately ordered: "Guan Zhanfeng, you and Miss Baili, lead the most elite six thousand elite cavalry, follow me through the east gate, and go straight to the enemy's Chinese army's big tent." Yang Tianxuan, you are in charge of the headquarters, and after following the main force, you will wave the flag and shout to capture the prisoners. ”
"Yang Tianzhou, you lead the rest of the people to gallop back and forth outside the barracks. You don't have to kill the enemy, you can just deter the enemy. ”
"Yes, I'll do as I was told!"
The congregation will be commanded immediately.
"No, and Simon, why don't you attack it?"
Baili Bing immediately questioned.
"Silly!"
"This is called Wai San Que Yi!"
Xiao Yu waved his hand depressedly.
The enemy army has suffered tens of thousands of casualties, but there are still more than 30,000 people, besieged and killed on all sides, how can they not fight to the death?
Of course, Xiao Yu still has calculations.
West Gate, facing Puyang City!
If Xie Ji sent troops, he happened to meet it, which is good!
